Chapter 3: The Chase

�Stupid
saru. Maybe I should just leave the monkey here and let him be.�

Right. Like he could
actually do that. To Sanzo, Goku was more than a source of annoyance. Although
he is reluctant to show it, the boy means a lot to him. The heretic is the only
one who could get a semblance of a reaction from him. Well okay. Maybe Gojyo
could also get a reaction from him but that was purely annoyance. Goku made him
feel. He never thought that he would
care this much for someone after what happened to his sensei. He would do
anything for Goku, even run after him to try to calm his flustered mind, which
is what he is actually doing right now.

He could see Goku ahead of him. But even
if he lost sight of the saru, he would still be able to follow him. He could
hear him. Not with his ears alone, but he could hear him in his mind. They
always had this connection so he knew when the boy was in need of consoling,
although he very rarely reacts on this. He only soothes the boy whenever the
voice in his head becomes too persistent, too annoying to ignore. While it is
persistent right now, what he feels as he hears the distress Goku feels is
certainly not annoyance. He feels worry. So much in fact that he is running at
a speed he never knew he possessed.

How he wished that he could communicate
with the boy right now. That Goku could hear his voice as well so that he could
calm the monkey�s nerves during this chase and hopefully the boy would listen
and at least slow down. But that�s out of the question right now. Goku couldn�t
hear him and he won�t stop running until he�s out of this mountain, which may
take a while, seeing as he is running further into the mountain and not out
of it. That in itself was not surprising since he has only seen the path
out of Mount Gogyo once, when he came to pick the monkey up from his prison.

He is starting to lose his breath. �Darn it.
This can�t go on much longer. I don�t have the same stamina that he has.
I have to catch up with him before it is too late.�

�He�s still following me. Why? Why do
they want to take me back to that cave that
badly? I didn�t do anything wrong. Then again, I don�t recall doing something
wrong when they imprisoned me the last time. Damn it. Where am I going? Where
am I supposed to go to get out of this forest? Left? Right? Straight ahead? Or
is the way out on the opposite direction?�

Still panting rather harshly, panic
still clawing at him, Goku continued running straight ahead, not caring where
he is headed as long as it�s away from those who are chasing him and away from
this mountain.

In his state, Goku has already forgotten
the identities of the ones following him. He didn�t know that it was Sanzo, or
that he might not wish to harm him. His mind simply didn�t register such
possibilities. He has all but forgotten everything except for the need to run
away.

Glancing behind him, he saw someone
nearing him. �No, no, no. I can�t let them catch me. I won�t let them catch me.
I won�t go back. I won�t go back.� Goku kept saying it in his mind like a
chant. He�s determined to not go back. Ever.

●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●

�Shit.
I�m running out of breath.�

Sanzo didn�t want to consider his other option but it looked like he had
no choice in the matter. He didn�t want to have to retort to using his sutra on
Goku. He didn�t know what would happen to the boy if he used it. While he was
fairly certain that using it would not kill Goku, he still wasn�t sure that it
will not harm him too much. It might cause intensive injuries and he didn�t
want to cause the monkey more pain than what he is experiencing right now.
Though the pain he�d be inflicting on Goku would be in a different form,
physical instead of emotional, he still didn�t want to do it. He loved Goku too
much to let that happen.

�Whoa.
Wait a minute, did I say love?� He
almost stopped running due to his shock but he saw a glint of gold and he
remembered that he was supposed to be chasing Goku. He set that thought aside
to contemplate for later. Right now, there were more important matters at hand.
He had to catch up to Goku.

Sanzo mentally cursed himself for being
so careless. Because his thoughts caused him to falter in his chase, the gap
between him and Goku has become farther. �I really can�t keep this up for much
longer.� Albeit Sanzo was reluctant to do it, there seems to be no other option
now but that. The monk took a deep
breath. �I�m sorry about this Goku.�

The blonde concentrated on using his
sutra. He watched as it took effect; first expanding and when it finally
reached Goku, flared around him.

●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●

From behind him, Goku heard someone
chanting but paid no heed to it. He concentrated on his sprint, still trying to
get away from the persistent bastard who is after him.

He was greatly surprised, however, when
what looked like� �Sanzo�s sutra?�. That had him stopping and looking behind
him to see the source of the earlier chanting. �Sanzo?� That was when it dawned
on him that he is incapable of any movement. �What the�� was his last thought
before darkness overtook him.

●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●

Sanzo watched as Goku crumpled to the
ground. He disabled the sutra and ran as fast as he could to the boy. The first
thing he checked for was his vitals. When he was satisfied that there were no intensive
injuries to the monkey, he sat down beside his slumbering form with a thud. He
was exhausted. Though nobody would be ever caught hearing this, he was after
all, only a human.

He picked up the slumbering boy and
carried him, bridal style, to the biggest tree in his line of sight. The monk
propped Goku up against the tree and quickly sat beside him. He breathed a deep
sigh of relief. He did not, in anyway harm Goku, and he halted their chase
successfully.

The blonde looked at the sleeping saru
beside him fondly. He whacked Goku lightly in the head. �You put me through a
hell of a lot today, bastard. Good thing that I like you so I am not tempted to
kill�you�� Stopping his train of thought slowly, it dawned on him that he had
similar, more terrifying thoughts regarding the brunette just recently. Did he
really have strong feelings for the boy? That would be an unequivocal yes. Was
it love? Or something else entirely? He had no idea.

Growling, he hit the back of his head
against the tree. �Damn it, Goku. You
are giving me a headache.�

Covering his face with his hands, Sanzo
took a deep breath. �Okay, I have to think this through. Do I love him? I said
that I did earlier but did I mean it?� He remembered the first time he heard
Goku�s voice.

This is getting to be annoying, to say
the least. Here he was, going about his own life, hearing a desperately lonely
voice inside his head. Of course, he at first questioned his sanity. Was he
imagining it? Well, after a few days of hearing the same voice over and over
again, the answer to that question would be an unmistakable no.

So he took on a journey to try to find
the source of that voice. According to his map, the voice in his head was in Mount Gogyo.
To be precise, it led him to a cave in Mount Gogyo.
Not surprisingly, he found someone inside that cage. By the time he got there,
he was more than annoyed. But after Sanzo spoke to the child, that annoyance
evaporated, though his expression never faltered.

The face of the boy mirrored amazement. At
what, he didn�t know. He seemed to be surprised to see an existing human being.
Granted, he was sure that the child in front of him was youkai. No human could
possess such beautiful golden eyes. But that didn�t matter. What did was the
expression of incredulity of the boy that someone was here to free him.

He reached his hand out to the boy,
whose expression changed from amazement to incredulity to adulation. Like Sanzo
was the sun himself. The golden-eyed youth grasped his hand like a lifeline and
the blonde led him out to the light. To freedom.

From then on Goku has never left his
side. No matter how much he hit him, he never faltered in his adoration. Sanzo
looked at Goku again. Did he love him? He was now pretty sure of his answer. �Yes,
I love him.�

●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●◦●

In the shadows of the trees, two figures
silently watched Goku and Sanzo. They were waiting for the right moment to make
their presence known.

�Ne Hakkai. When are we going to join
them?�

�Let�s wait a little while longer.�

Gojyo ran an agitated hand through his
red locks. �What the hell are we waiting for?! Goku Stopped running. He is now sleeping
beside baldy. I don�t see any reason why we shouldn�t go to them.�

�Calm down Gojyo. We have to wait until
Goku is truly calm enough. He would wake up and notice his surroundings again. If
we are there, it will be a repeat of what just occurred a while ago. We must
let Sanzo handle this.�

Heaving a sigh of frustration, Gojyo
slumped back against the tree and waited.

A/N: Happy New
Year to all! I�m really sorry for the delay. I went into vacation mode this
holiday. Or bluntly speaking, I became lazy and didn�t put the effort to
continue the story until recently. Really, really sorry. Anyway, we have
classes again this coming Jan. 4 so delays won�t be because of my innate
laziness, it will be because I�ll have lots of homework.

Help me out here guys. I�m really having
a conflict on whether Gojyo and Hakkai should have a lemon scene or not. If you
want them to have one, please tell me.

To all those who reviewed and/or rated,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Flames are allowed as well as constructive criticism. I am
very much appreciative of those who review my fic. Love y�all!!!
