A Home Unseen

By, Sid

"Goku…" Hakkai stared at the boy wide eyes, his hand grasping the other's which was currently plunged into his stomach. Blood gushed outward as he suddenly slumped forward with a cry of pain, all the while Goku stood his long hair swaying with the wind, his golden eyes sharp and glowing his lips curving into a grin that could only be described as… monstrous.

Goku wrenched his bloodstained hands away from Hakkai and turned to observe his surroundings his eyes searching for more lives to quench his thirst for blood. The very woods seemed to cry out in pain at the sight of the boy now violent nature. The clouds had turned a dark gray shade and the very heavens seemed to be in pain. A storm was brewing and the bitter smell of blood was resonant in the air around them.

Gojyo lay on the dirt ground, aware of their situation yet aware that nothing could be done. His wounds throbbing, he tried to lift a hand to press it against his shoulder blade but only groaned at the effort it took and resigned himself to laying there, bitter as the knowledge that this is how their journey would end came to him. With their blood spilt by one they had gladly called their own not so long ago. His eyes opened a crack and he watched Son Goku with his blurry vision, as the boy… no… monster trudged toward the only one they had thought had the ability to stop him.

Genjo Sanzo lay sprawled on the ground propped up on a tree that sat behind him, his hand held tightly to his waist to slow the blood that left his body. His eyes were closed and although he did not see him he could indeed see him… he felt him, he knew with the whole of his being that the boy who had stood by his side and walked with him since the day he had brought him home, stood in front of him. He recognized that not until he met this boy had he truly begun to live again. And thus he opened his violet eyes, his gaze clear and sharp as he stared into the eyes of, not the beast that others saw, but at Son Goku, the boy that had saved him… the boy he had brought home… the boy that he was not willing to give up even if it meant his life.

Goku stared back at him quiet for a moment, his fingers twitching, his eyes enraptured as he stared at the other man. Confused and enraged he lashed out, his sharp nails tearing into the other mans flesh and though he flinched he continued to stare. As Goku took in the sight of the crimson colored liquid that seeped from the man's bronze skin and past the torn leather at his chest, something seemed to come over the boy… slowly the hostility left him and the quest for blood fled his mind leaving only a resonating ache in his chest as he stared back at the man who brought out such intense emotions in him. His legs lost the strength to hold him and he crashed to the ground quivering. And ever so slowly he leaned in, his lips finding the wound he had placed on the man and he brought his tongue out tentatively lapping at the scars that left an acrid taste in his mouth. And just as slowly he moved away and brought himself to face the man, his eyes glazed with tears… and with one last look darkness enveloped him.

Hakkai and Gojyo lay quietly taking in what they had just seen as the last of their strength left them. But though their sights were blurry the golden glow that surrounded Sanzo was ever present and as they saw him lift his hand tenderly to the unconscious boys face all energy left them and they faded off to sleep.
