[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Goku ran hard and fast, his eyes blurry with hot tears. He had no idea where he was going nor did he care, he just kept running.
Finally, his knees buckled and he tumbled painfully to the ground. The rough terrain ripped through his pants and bit into his skin sharply causing blood to slowly pool to the surface. His left forearm was skinned from wrist to elbow and his palms were shredded. But none of that mattered, Goku was too numb to care.
He gritted his teeth hard and growled, anger and hurt burning in his chest. So it was true, he was nothing but a burden to them?
The question plagued his thoughts and made him feel even worse. Hi skin pulsed with flashes of hot and cold and sick sweat broke out across his forehead. His stomach flipped irritably and he once again found himself vomiting into the hot, dry earth below.
“Aww...whatsa matter kiddo? Not feelin' to hot?”
Goku's head snapped up just in time to avoid a potentially lethal blow. Three youkai stood above him, smirking and sneering maliciously. “Oh, come on…” he groaned weakly.
“Hey Jonas…I think he's the brat that helped kill some of our clan.”
“Yeah, I think you're right. So what should we do to teach him a lesson, hm? Break his legs? Cut off his arms? What would leave a lasting impression?”
The boy stood slowly, balancing himself on his nyoi-bo.
No sooner had he put both feet on the ground, the youkai attacked viciously. They kicked and punched furiously, each trying to take down a kid who was narrowly missing each blow.
Goku stumbled backwards and caught himself, knowing if he fell it would be certain death. He gripped his weapon tightly, leaning into it and breathing hard. Dizziness made his vision swim and he rapidly shook his head trying to clear his mind.
The youkai smirked murderously. “You're pretty good, kiddo…” one started, his claws glistening like tiny daggers. “But not good enough.”
The demon lunged forward and Goku felt his body tense as he waited for the blow.
A single shot rang out and the youkai stopped in mid-attack, his eyes wide and unseeing. He made a strangled noise and collapsed leaving a rather irritated looking
Sanzo and smoking gun behind him.
Sanzo and smoking gun behind him.
Goku's eyes widened. “ S-Sanzo…You…came…?”
“Ch…you dumb monkey. Always getting yourself into trouble.”
The remaining two youkai growled angrily and charged toward the blond, leaving their original target behind.
Goku's vision began to slip again and he desperately tried to push his body forward but to no avail. The world titled crazily and faintly felt himself hit the ground. His nyoi-bo fell from limp fingers and crashed to the dusty earth. He heard a few more gunshots ring out before he closed his eyes and allowed himself to spiral into darkness.
Ahh! It's short! Oh well, still good right?
