Try not to fall asleep while reading this, ok? XD

---------------------------------------------------

Goku was jolted awake, his body shaking and drenched in sweat. Frantically, he scanned his surroundings. Something, no, someone was missing. Sanzo. Where was Sanzo? Didn't they always sleep side by side?

Realization chose that moment to hit Goku just then, hard in the face. Goku gasped, and he choked out a sob. / That's right. Sanzo's not here. /

Goku brought his hands up to his face, trying to stop the tears from flowing. He felt totally and utterly useless, just sitting there and doing nothing, when Sanzo was out there, alone, and unprotected, and-

/ No! /

He would not think like that. Hakkai's right, Sanzo was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. Nevertheless, Goku could not stop the nervous feeling in his gut from whirling around.

Something was tugging at the back of his mind. Something important. Goku closed his eyes, trying to gather his scattered thoughts, trying to focus on that something.

/ What is it? /

Why did he awake in the first place? Goku scrunched up his nose, trying desperately to remember. Was it a dream? No, it couldn't be that. More like a nightmare, perhaps. Goku hugged his knees close to his chest, and buried his head in his arms. Sanzo was always there when he had nightmares, those cold and painful nightmares of-

Wait. It was different this time, not like the others. It was about…Sanzo?

Goku let out another gasp as pieces of his nightmare came back to him, images that made no sense at all. First there was him, covered in blood, he was dying, and it looked like a painful death. Goku shuddered. Even though bloody deaths were quite common among his nightmares, to see himself dying was very unnerving.

Then there was Sanzo. Cradling him, tracing his lips, his cheeks, his entire face. Sanzo was crying. And then, Sanzo was…screaming. And finally, Sanzo pulled the trigger. On himself.

Goku's head started to pound painfully. He felt so scared, so alone in his tent. What did that dream mean? Was Sanzo alright? Did something happen to him? Goku lay back down on his sleeping bag, his head getting the better of him. He shut his eyes tightly, trying not to think of that frightening nightmare as rain started to fall outside, making pitter-patter sounds on the roof of his tent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Gold and blue eyes fluttered open. A curse could be distinctively heard, as chains swung and met together with a loud clang.

/ What in the fucking world happened? /

Wait. What was he wearing?

"Oh fuck. Fuck! That bastard!"

He was cut off from his long train of curses, however, as something hard painfully hit the side of his head. Blinking fuzzily, he dropped down to the ground yet again.

/ I swear I'll kill him. /

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rain made his golden bangs stick to his eyes. A hand came up and felt them almost in awe, before carefully pushing them away.

A flash of white in the dark night suggested a triumphant grin. / This was probably the last thing he expected. /

He made his way to the two tents that were in the clearing of trees, trudging through the wet leaves and almost muddy ground. / Just a little further more. / His robes felt heavy, already drenched wet in the merciless rain. It's a miracle that there's no bitter cold wind, he thought sarcastically, as his teeth started to chatter.

His hand reached inside his sleeves, and he pulled out a pack of soaked cigarettes. He withdrew a soggy stick, examined it, before finally throwing the whole pack into the wet darkness surrounding him. / Disgusting. /

Finally reaching one of the tents, he stood there in the pouring rain, just staring ahead into the tent where an outline of a single sleeping bag could be seen. And in the bag, still blissfully asleep, lay the most beautiful being ever existed.

/ Here I come. /

---------------------------------------------------------------

Goku was drifting in and out of consciousness. This was probably the worst night in his entire life, he thought miserably. First, his sun had to disappear, and then, he had this really weird nightmare that totally freaked him out. And now, to make matters even worse, he was having hallucinations that Sanzo had returned, and was kneeling directly above him.

Goku let out a tired groan, as one of Sanzo's cold hands stroked the side of his face. This was getting way too freaky for him to handle. / Wait, just a sec, then why can you feel the cold? /

He sprang up from his sleeping position, only to hit Sanzo's nose in the process. Could it be? Did he even dare to believe?

"S-Sanzo?" he whispered, afraid that it was just a illusion and might disappear at the slightest noise. "Is that really you?" he went on, praying that his distraught mind wasn't just playing tricks on him. He tentatively reached out a shaking hand and stroked his guardian's wet cheek.

His said guardian just smiled, and clasped his other hand on top of Goku's. Goku let out a startled gasp, before tears sprang to his eyes, not for the first time that night. / You're such a wussy, you can't even control yourself! /

Goku ignored his rebellious thoughts and jumped into Sanzo's arms, choking on his tears. He felt as if an enormous weight had been lifted from his shoulders as he cried onto his sun's chest.

"Sanzo! I was so fucking worried!" he cried out, as Sanzo's hand came out to stroke his shaking body reassuringly.

"Really?" Sanzo replied, a small chuckle escaping his lips that were blue from the cold.

"Sanzo…" Goku murmured in surprise, it was the first time he'd heard Sanzo laughing. He placed his hands on the sides of Sanzo's face, and brought up his lips to meet with Sanzo's. He kissed Sanzo like he's never kissed before, pouring out his love, and relief that Sanzo was finally there with him, into that single kiss.

Sanzo responded to the kiss with equal passion, pushing Goku down to the sleeping bag. He was interrupted, however, as the entrance of the tent was pulled open to reveal a very disturbed Hakkai, with Gojyo right behind him.

"Sanzo!" Hakkai cried out, as Sanzo and Goku disentangled themselves.

"Huh? Where?" a confused Gojyo pushed past Hakkai to peek into the tent. "What the- So, the Oh-so-great Sanzo-sama finally had the courtesy to show up, eh?" Gojyo said, regaining himself from his shocked stupor.

"Gojyo…" Hakkai murmured warningly, as he elbowed red-haired gently. "What happened, Sanzo? We tried searching for you but …" Hakkai trailed off, stepping into the tent, pulling Gojyo along.

Sanzo waved a dismissive hand. "Just got into an unwanted situation. Nothing I couldn't handle," he finished almost casually.

Hakkai and Gojyo stared. Now that was weird, where was the long string of curses and gun-shots? Normally, Sanzo would be more aggressive in answering enquiries.

Sanzo seemed to have sensed their bewilderment, for he pulled Goku into his lap once more despite the stunned faces of his comrades.

"Now if you please, I think I would like to catch up with my beautiful disciple here", he said, nuzzling Goku's neck fondly.

Hakkai and Gojyo stumbled out of the tent and into their own, still trying to process what just happened. Gojyo stared at his emerald-eyed friend, bewilderment in his eyes. A lanky hand rubbed the back of his head, disturbing the blood-colored strands that fell down onto his shoulders.

"Now that was freaky." It was probably the understatement of the year.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Goku was not used to this. He should have been, but for some reasons, Sanzo's sudden niceness was getting to him. It wasn't that he didn't like it, no, he absolutely loved it, but it was just that Sanzo was usually more…aloof.

His inner thoughts seem to have just snorted at that. What was his problem, anyway?

/ Yeah, you complain when he's cold, and now when he's finally warming up, you complain as well? /

/ Typical baka /

Deciding that he would rather pay attention to his golden-haired lover than his rebellious thoughts, Goku went about doing the only thing that was wise. He started to peel of Sanzo's clothing, one by one. They were soaking wet, he certainly didn't want his sexy guardian to catch a cold. Besides, Goku was already down to his pants, thanks to Sanzo himself.

Sanzo ravaged his lips as he finally got rid of Goku's sweat-pants, while Goku desperately tried to push down Sanzo's black leather jeans. It was not an easy task, his mind was currently unable to think clearly as Sanzo's hand roamed Goku's tanned skin.

Goku kissed Sanzo for all he was worth, clutching Sanzo's golden head as he brought himself up. However, Sanzo, without any mercy left his puffed up lips and started attacking his neck, leaving little bite marks as he roamed the rest of Goku's body with his hot mouth.

At one point, Sanzo suddenly pushed himself off Goku, and straddled the youth's slim waist. His glazed eyes widened in amazement as he took in Goku's exposed figure, his gaze lingering on Goku's bare chest. It was as if this was the first time that Sanzo saw him, Goku mused rather hazily, as he was once again having trouble thinking properly, Sanzo had began grinding their hips together. Goku let out a loud groan, his hands flailing about, trying desperately to hold onto something. They weren't exactly any bedspreads that he could clutch onto, while Sanzo continued to grind against him, driving him totally insane…

Sanzo finally lowered himself onto Goku's sweat slicked body and lifted a leg so that it was resting on his pale left shoulder. He whispered seductively in Goku's ear.

"I want to be in you…now."

Goku could barely nod, as his hand reached out to his knapsack to get the small bottle of lubricant that Sanzo had purchased at the last town they were staying at.

He screamed out, however, when Sanzo entered him without any warning. Goku couldn't stop the tears from gathering at the corner or his eyse as Sanzo continued to thrust in and out of him, his deep violet eyes filled with unguarded lust.

It hurt. Goku's mind was reeling, didn't Sanzo say that he hated hurting him? Didn't he regret that they hadn't used any sort of lube in the cave that fateful day, and thus the reason why he had purposely went out and purchased some the very next morning?

Sanzo covered Goku's mouth, panting as he quickened his painful rhythm. Goku screamed again, his time into Sanzo's mouth, as he felt his tissues tear. He was bleeding now, he was sure of it. Sanzo's 'love-making' was aggressive and damnably pleasure-filled. Now all Goku was feeling was the….aggressiveness.

Sanzo finally reached his climax, releasing hot seed into Goku. Goku came seconds later, having felt more pain than pleasure and covering both him and Sanzo's pressed bodies in white fluid.

Sanzo then pulled out of him and collapsed onto Goku's body, totally worn out. Goku tried to swallow a choked sob, as Sanzo's arms enveloped him in a possessive embrace. His ass hurt like hell, he couldn't remember the last time when Sanzo had been so violent.

Wait, Sanzo had never been so violent as to actually hurt him before. Sure, Sanzo was very passionate in his fucking, but he was gentle in ways that was unlike the usual Genjo Sanzo when it came to taking Goku, so that Goku never felt pain, and that only made Goku fall even more crazily in love with his guardian.

Maybe he was just stressed out. Didn't he say he had got into an unwanted situation? What did that mean, anyway? Goku was about to ask Sanzo, only to find his lover asleep, his mouth curved in what looked like a smirk.

Goku involuntarily shuddered. There was something wrong. Maybe he should finally pay attention to his instincts. They were yelling at him the whole time, telling him that there was something very wrong with the picture.

Goku studied Sanzo's features. He looks the same. He smells the same. Heck, he even tastes the same. But-

/ Action speaks louder than words. /

Goku clamped his eyes shut. Was it just him? Or was there something seriously wrong with his golden sun?

A/N: Eeek…..I really didn't plan for that to happen. Actually, I didn't plan for anything else, so…..XD And I was trying desperately to follow the PG-13 rating….did I fail yet again? XD

Hmm….Like Aspara-san once said, 'Reviews makes the world go round'.
