Later that night Hakkai walked into the room and found Goku asleep with his head on the girl's bedside, an empty plate on the floor beside the chair. Something popped into Hakkai's head at that sight and an image flashed in his head. A younger version of Goku, with longer hair resembling Seiten Taisen, handcuffs around his neck and wrists was asleep a similar bedside with what seemed to be the Younger Prince of War himself, Nataku sleeping. 500 years ago, that was in Nataku's time, so Goku...Could he have come from that time? It would make sense about where Sanzo had found him...
Hakkai shook it off and couldn't help but notice the similar ressemblence to right now and before. Hakkai smiled and placed a blanket on Goku as he sat in the corner, asleep. The next morning Hakkai opened one eye and found the girl and Goku talking.
"So what's your name?"
"...Kanatu."
"I'm Goku, what were you doing in the middle of the road like that?"
"I was the middle of the road?...I can't remember..."
"Aw it's okay, don't worry we're here now so you don't have to worry about a thing."
Goku grinned and Kanatu nodded hesitently. Hakkai smiled and stretched, pretending he had just woken up. "So I see you're up, I'm Hakkai, and you are?" Kanatu paused for a moment then just opened her mouth. "Kanatu." "Well Miss Kanatu, welcome." He smiled and Kanatu nodded again.
Sanzo and Gojyo came into the room a week later and Hakkai, Goku, and Kanatu sitting down, silence. Kanatu's appearence was odd enough for a girl at the last. Pants with the ankles ripped off, a sweater that covered her hands, a shirt underneath that was stained with blood, shoes that looked worn out, and the Youkai power limiters around her ear and ankle. Reaching down she lifted the right part of her pants, revealing braces around them.
Sighing she shook her head and closed her eyes, looking at the ground. "Sorry if I've been a burden." Sanzo watched as Hakkai and Goku both shook their heads, Goku making the comment. "You haven't been a burden at all!" Kanatu's expression changed to a shocked one as she stood up immediately. "R-Really?" Goku nodded and grinned. "You're fun having around!"
Kanatu's expression changed as she looked up, her face abit flushed of color. Sanzo smirked as did Gojyo who made a comment. "Besides, Goku's sure been happy since you've been around." Sanzo nodded as did Hakkai with a smile. Goku had his face flushed of color and glared at Gojyo but shook his head, agreeing with them. She smiled and the day went by, no one had even kept track of the time. The sun set and they all retired to their rooms.
Later that night Goku found Kanatu on the balcony outside. Approaching her he heard a soft sigh. "You need something?" Kanatu asked as she turned around and faced him. Goku shook his head and stood next to her. Looking at the sky he noticed the stars around. "I guess this place gets the most stars at night. " He said, trying to make conversation. Kanatu nodded slightly.
Goku bit down on his lip and finally said something he wanted to say. "Please don't freak out but... I'm...Kanatu... I'm a Youkai!" Kanatu looked towards Goku with widened eyes, but not a scared look. She looked at the ground then back up. She smiled. "It's okay. Really." Goku looked her in the eye and searched for the truth. He found it and nodded to himself.
He looked at the ground wtih clecnehed fists. He had to find out what else she thought of him. It was like a feeling he needed to know. "Kanatu..I know we've just met but what do you see when you look into the eyes of a heretic?..I..I mean me." Kanatu looked at him and a gentle smile crept on her mouth.
"What I see? What I see into those golden eyes... A trustworthy friend. Someone who will never betray you and care about you till the end. Someone anyone can tell everything and anything without a second thought. And also..Someone with a bottomless pit for a stomach." Kanatu laughed as Goku smiled slightly. "Thanks." Kanatu nodded and kissed Goku on the cheek slightly before walking back into the room. Goku had his face flushed of color as he placed his hand on his cheek. Taking in what had just happened.
He grinned slightly to himself and fell asleep on the balcony looking at the stars. What both of them didnt know was that Hakkai, Gojyo, and Sanzo were all watching them from the rooftop. Convinient place to watch the stars and people on the balcony. Hakkai smiled and Gojyo shook his head. "Damn he's good." Gojyo said as Sanzo shook his head. "Who really cares?" The night faded away into an inky black silence after that.
