Drabble: One Night
Disclaimer: Saiyuki ain't mine.
The clouds were dark and the rain was threatening to wreck the dry grounds. It would only make their journey strenuous because of the muddy road right after.
And memories that were long-forgotten come back to life to hunt his wounded soul.
I walk endlessly, thinking I won't be able to stop. I dream believing I'd soar one day far above. And every time, I'm proven wrong, I fall head-first to the solid ground.
I fall knowing no one would be there to catch me.
A little while later, it did rain and now he stared unknowingly at Sanzo's turned back.
Sanzo hated company but at this moment he somehow knew it was only him that could stop his raging feelings.
Cho Gonou has been dead for quite a while now and before him stands Cho Hakkai.
One night, that's all he needs.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
A thousand demons lay astray, all dead and bleeding; Kanan giving him her last smile before committing suicide.
He could smell the stench of what must have been blood. He could almost taste it. And he could feel the throbbing pain of committing such sins.
"N-nothing…."
"'Ch, don't just stand there."
And I guess he's absolutely correct, I'll just have to move.
Just one night, with only his words of wisdom to save me from my fears.
A/N: Haha…too short, hints of 383. Happy Birthday Hakkai!
