The Wings of Friendship Chapter 1: The Illness

If you take everything for granted.then life may take everything away from you. ~.~





Flashback



It was a fierce battle. Everyone was fighting with all their might. It seems that the youkai have finally won over Sanzo. It was unbelievable.

The youkai attacking. Then Sanzo defending. It was a miserable thing to see. All these times the Sanzo-ikkou have won over perilous battles. But how come? How is this one different? Probably this is a question they had in their heads while fighting. Probably they were thinking and asking the same thought over and over again in their minds. Probably they were thinking that they were going to die.

But they didn't die. No. It was more than that. Much worse than that. They were loosing their most precious gem. They were loosing the one that kept them laughing thru and thru. They were loosing a friend. They were loosing Son Goku.



End of Flashback





They were desperate now. They were trying to find an inn. They were trying to find anything that could possibly shelter them. Or just shelter Goku. He was wasting away in Hakkai's arms and Hakkai knew it, they all knew it. Even the saru knows. And he was fighting. He was desperately fighting for his life. Goku was breathing unevenly. This means they had to hurry. And hurry they went.





If you were the innkeeper at that time, then this is what you've probably thought. The door opened and three men hurriedly went inside. One of the men was carrying a boy in his arms, badly wounded and gasping for dear life. The others still were wounded too but not as much as the boy. "A room, please. For two," Amazing. How can a man keep his cool in this condition? "Would you hurry up?! Can't you see we have a life and death situation here?" And yet another one says, but this time desperate, loosing. "Hai. Hai. Please follow me," I guess I need to run if these men are hurrying. And before Gojyo could complain yet again, they were speeding up the staircase. By now Goku was loosing ground. I guess even before that. He was loosing hope. They were loosing hope.





Hakkai had stopped the bleeding, but there was the fever. A strange one. The local healer had come up and said, "All of you need to rest. It has been a long night. Goodbye," But before she could walk on home, Sanzo asked a question, "Will he be alright?" It was strange coming out of Sanzo's mouth. But he had been worried sick about Goku. So he wanted to find out sooner or later. And he thought now was the best time.

"It is up to him, not you. We shall find out by tomorrow. The fever is strange. The likes of which I've never seen before. Even for a youkai. Now, you must rest. I shall see you tomorrow. Goodbye." "A very brave woman she is. Isn't she? Gojyo," Hakkai says, "Urusai!" Taken aback Gojyo answered in return, "Good night," "Ah. Good night,"
