Flames loads banishing gun
-Chapter 2-
The storm worsened, still Goku kept running. What happened in the inn kept playing over and over in his mind.
-Flashback-
"SHUT UP!" Sanzo yelled, then advanced towards Goku and struck him hard across the face. Goku fell to the floor, dropping the can and spilling the beer all over the ground. "Now look what you did, you stupid ape! You spilled it everywhere!" Sanzo continued to yell in his still-slurred voice. He went over to Goku and kicked him. Goku didn't make a sound, he just laid there. Finally, Goku lifted his hand to his mouth and brought it away, finding that his fingers were covered with his own blood. He got up, tears welling up in his golden eyes, and ran. He ran out of the room, out of the inn, and into the cold, pouring rain.
-End Flashback-
Goku lifted his hand to his mouth once more, feeling dried blood on his lips. This just made him run harder and faster. 'Sanzo has never hit me hard enough to bleed…' he thought. 'All I've ever wanted was to be there for him, and help him. I was just trying to help! He must hate me…he doesn't care about me at all, so maybe I just shouldn't care for him.'
On Goku's leg, a bruise was beginning to form where Sanzo had kicked him. He stopped and leaned against a tree and rolled up his jeans to get a look at it. It was a pretty big bruise, a mix of purple and a brownish-greenish color. Goku winced as he put the tiniest bit of pressure on it. Suddenly, he heard a rustle in the bush behind him.
He whirled around, ready to fight anything that came at him. There was more rustling, then a figure could be seen coming out from the bush. 'Huh?' Goku thought. He started to back away, but tripped on a root sticking out of the ground, hurting his ankle in the fall. The figure advanced toward Goku and the boy let out a cry for help. (A/N: yea I know, Goku usually would cry for help, but hey, he's all alone and hurt his ankle)

'AH! HELP!'
Sanzo sat straight up, beads of sweat were on his brow. There had been a voice in his dreams, a voice calling out to him…calling for help. The monk looked around the room, then at the clock on the end-table. It read 1:32 am and it was pitch black outside. Suddenly, he noticed that Goku was not in the room. 'Where the hell is that monkey?' Sanzo thought irritably, his head pounding with an awful hangover. Then, he remembered what had happened.
'Shit' he thought, while at the same time, picking up his loaded gun. He slipped his shoes on and ran out of the hotel room. He turned right and bolted through Hakkai and Gojyo's door, waking the two up in the process.
"Dammit, Sanzo! What gives?" said the irritable Gojyo.
"Goku's gone…you two are going to help me look for him." said Sanzo.
"Gone? Where?" said Hakkai in his always-calm voice.
"How the hell should I know?" replied the monk.
"I think the worldly monk might have something to do with the monkey's disappearance" said Gojyo. "Did you do something to make Goku run away?"
Sanzo clenched his teeth. 'I don't have time for this' he thought.
"Sanzo?" Hakkai said, obviously waiting for Sanzo to answer Gojyo's question.
"I hit him…" said Sanzo, "I hit the stupid chimp because I was drunk and he was yelling too loud in my fuckin' ear. Now, unless you have a severe death wish, you'll come with me to find him."
"For once, Hakkai, I think the monk's worried about Goku" whispered Gojyo in Hakkai's ear.
"That appears to be the case" said Hakkai. 'I know Sanzo tries to hide it,' he thought to himself, 'but he must care for Goku. Otherwise he would just go back to sleep and not bother looking for him.'
The three guys left the inn. The rain had stopped but there were still clouds in the sky which blocked the moon, making it even darker than it would be on a regular night. They got in the jeep and drove towards the only place they thought Goku would have gone; the woods. Sanzo was quiet as they drove. He kept his head down and his amethyst eyes on his gun, and his fingers never left the trigger.
-TBC-
A/N: Yea I know, it's really short and sorry about moving the story a little fast. I'm gonna try slowing it down, and the next chapter will be longer. This time, I decided to leave ya'll with a cliffhanger on Goku's part of the story. Mwhaha! XD Anyways…next chapter will be longer and I'll work on moving it slower!
