"What is that all about?" Sanzo asked Hakkai.
"Sanzo I think you should go get him." Hakkai suggested.
"Why me?" He asked.
"Well you're just the best person for the job." Hakkai begged in disguise. Sanzo looked at Hakkai and then he went into his tent and got changed out of his robes, so now he was only wearing his black top and jeans. Sanzo started heading towards the direction Goku ran off in.
"Fine whatever but you owe me." Sanzo grumbled as he disappeared out of view.
"Oh trust me Sanzo it will be well worth it, that is if things go as they should." Hakkai thought. Sanzo continued on until he spotted Goku sitting in a tree mumbling things to himself.
"Hey Goku." Sanzo called. Goku looked up and saw Sanzo then he blushed.
"Did I just see Goku blush, why would he be blushing." Sanzo thought. Goku jumped down and sat under a tree. Sanzo sat across from him under another tree.
"Sanzo what are you doing here, why did you come get me?" Goku asked.
"Hakkai demanded I come and get you, although I have no idea why but I bet you do." Sanzo growled in annoyance of being left out of this loop that everyone seemed to be on except him.
"Ah I know why he did it, but why." Goku whispered to himself thinking Sanzo couldn't hear him.
"Why what, what the hell is going on?" Sanzo demanded.
"Sanzo?" Goku asked.
"What is it?" Sanzo asked in return.
"Who do you love?" Goku asked quietly just enough so Sanzo could barely hear.
"What?" Sanzo said in surprise.
"Who Sanzo, who is it that your heart belongs to?" Goku said knowing that he was touching a very private matter.
"No one I don't like anyone, now leave me alone, go away." Sanzo stood up and walked away leaving Goku behind.
"Sanzo you have to love someone everyone loves someone, I will find out whom." Goku called after Sanzo not caring if he heard or not.
"Now what do I do about this whole ordeal, should I just drop it, no I don't think I can do that we are to far into this to back out now... what do I do about Hakkai too, I know he made Sanzo come and get me because he wanted us together but why?" Goku pondered these things to himself for quite awhile then he headed back to camp. Hakkai was sitting there talking to Gojyo when he walked up they stopped and looked at him.
"Goku how did it go?" Hakkai asked.
"Not so well I'm afraid." Goku paused before asking his next question.
"Hakkai why did you do that. Why do you want me with Sanzo what about you?" Goku quickly said it all in one breath really fast.
"Well I know you don't love me and I just want you to be happy. Don't worry about me I have found another love." Hakkai said smiling and then Gojyo wrapped his arm around Hakkai's waste.
"Wow that was fast well I am happy for you Hakkai but what do I do about Sanzo?" Goku mumbled sadly.
"Don't worry I am sure you will come up with something." Hakkai smiled.
"Yea I suppose so…well I am turning in for the night I'm really tired." Goku continued to mumble as he walked inside his tent. Later on Sanzo came back and the only one still awake was Hakkai. Sanzo sat down and took a deep breath then he pulled out his cigarettes and lit one. Hakkai watched Sanzo and waited for him to say something. "Hakkai what is going on here why am I the only one who doesn't know anything?" Sanzo asked.
"What all did Goku tell you, Sanzo?" Hakkai responded with his question.
"He asked me who I loved and that's it." Sanzo said.
"Yea I figured that's all he would do." Hakkai murmured.
"Well are you going to tell me or am I gonna go play target practice until the stupid monkey tells me whats going on?" Sanzo demanded.
"I am sorry Sanzo it is not my place to say. You must talk to Goku but I am afraid that until you answer his question you will never find out what is going on." Hakkai then got up and walked into his tent leaving Sanzo alone to ponder his next action. Sanzo then got up and walked inside Goku's tent. He stared at the boy who seemed to be having a peaceful dream. Then he lowered his head and kissed the boy on the forehead just barely so that he wouldn't wake him.
"I love you." He said and with that he walked out of the tent and sat down by the fire and just continued to smoke.
"It was hard a first. I couldn't admit my feelings for him. I believed that I only used Goku because he could fight and well I was stuck with him forcefully but then I realized I kept him around because I couldn't bare to be without his presence. I am the sun and he is my earth. I look down upon him and guide him. Without him I would be alone for all of eternity. Although I still do not know how Goku feels, I guess everything will come to an end tomorrow and I will know then." Sanzo thought and then he got up and walked inside his tent and fell asleep.
Authors note: Wow I just seem to be getting these up really fast. I am surprised how quick I have been finishing them. Heh of course this one is a little short. I just like the ending it makes a good stopping point.
