Part Three: Life and Death
Sanzo's thoughts and regrets, right after Four hours.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depression…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanzo stared as the darkness started to fill the air, everywhere was almost completely covered in shadows. There was blood on his chest plate and on his white robes.
Goku looked round and dropped his Nyoboi he didn't believe what he just seen, he didn't want to.
Gojyo stood up. Hakkai a meter away, 'That didn't just happen' Gojyo looked over to Hakkai, seeing how he would react.
Hakkai dropped onto the ground, his eyes wide. Hakkai pulled his knees up to his chest. Hakuryu flew down beside him trying to see what's wrong with his master, Hakkai flinched. "No…this didn't happen this isn't real" denied Hakkai softly.
As the violent winds blew the sand over the lifeless body, it didn't move, not even a sign to see if they were still alive and as the body was being slowly swallowed up by the sand Sanzo walked over to the body a bit and whispered "You dolt……"

Sanzo's narration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes, just sometimes we think that we're the ones that aren't going to die today; we think that we're the ones who are going to die of old age?
Only the fools die young. The idiot's that go running around. For example:-
Give a child a gun that's loaded and they'll use it, like a toy that they think that they're not going to hurt anyone, many of them think that and yet…
They'll usually be the ones that cause the damage, that cause the person that's lying on the ground…with the blood coming out…
Their Death's…
We don't always pick who lives and die, I've realized that now…the only one, the only person who decides that……
Is God himself
We're just along for the ride, like Zonaki. I never thought in my life that she'd be the first one to go, I'd always thought I'd be the one. The one lying on the ground with all my guts falling out.
My blood on the floor, my eyes resting closed like they'll never open again. No life in my body ever again and that arrogant fool's last words that came out were:-
'Told yeah I'd go first, see Sanzo, see? Tch well I'll see you later huh?
Huh Sanzo?'
With that idiotic smile of hers, it was almost like the moron knew she was going first?
Dammit
If that idiot didn't jump in front of me, then this would've never happened. If only she'd let that assassin kill me. If only she'd thought about the consequences of her actions? Or did she know? Did she know that and accepted that anyway. That idiotic Arunia Witch.
Moron
No wonder that Witch asked so many questions about death so much and that silly prediction she made that she was going to die before me.
'I predict that 'm going to die first'
'Stop talking idiotic thing's Zonaki'
'But it's true'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the problem at hand
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanzo gripped his hand, dropped down in front of Zonaki's body, and grabbed the collar of the coat and started to shack her about, hoping for a reaction anything would do, a yawn a laugh an OW anything to signal that she's alive.
"Zonaki you moron, don't you even think on dying on us…"
"Sanzo" Goku walked forward, Gojyo raised an arm, signaling for Goku to halt and leave him alone.
Sanzo continued "After everything you said? After everything you promised to us, this is how your going to go, well Zonaki if your going to leave now, then everything you've worked for will disappear" Sanzo stopped he knew this wasn't getting him any where, wasn't going to bring her back.
"Is that it? Is that what you wanted?" Sanzo sighed and stops shacking Zonaki; he lowered his head down, casting a shadow over his eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanzo's narration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember one time, when she whispered softly to herself…
'Why can't I just disappear? Like I was never in this world at all? In this world?
In this darkness that surrounds me? Ready to swallow me up?
Just disappear…'
It was almost like she was suffering, from all the laughs and joking. Deep down she was really just suffering endlessly like she was been given a death sentence a slow and painful one that she has to go through on her own.
And a girl at her age too, not many nineteen year old's pray for their own deaths, let alone allow it to happen to them.
Zonaki stood up for people who wanted to die so badly and yet……
'If you die then everything you've accomplished will be worth nothing, do you really want to die that easily? Without thinking the consequences' to your action's? How others will feel when your dead? The law of reality is 'To survive, you must look out for yourself and leave others to worry about themselves, the gods don't save anyone Charisma sees to that'
And yet when it comes to her life in danger, she doesn't try to save herself. Like she's waiting for her own annihilation. But somehow she lives by the skin of her teeth, like it was a game to her. Making her enemies think that they'll be able to kill her easily. But in reality she's luring them to a very well thought out trap like a tiger that planned her motives very carefully and perfectly without a single flaw to her clever plan.
But I guess every tiger has their day, when their numbered.
Life and Death is like two sides to a coin, to give or to take and Zonaki is the one who is taken…
