Before the Journey
Goku eventually drifted off to sleep, feeling much more calm and relaxed with Sanzo. He actually felt protected more than anything else. Breathing in Sanzoâs scent, caused his little heart to stop pumping too fast. As he drifted to sleep, he had faint images of a man with flowing long golden hair, much like Sanzoâs. He also saw a boy around his age smiling at him, with a mouth full of raspberries. Goku smiled in his sleep and clung to Sanzo, burrowing his head into Sanzoâs chest and curling into the older manâs warmth.Â
Surprisingly, Goku managed to not kick Sanzo in the stomach during the night, and no nightmares arose during the night (not that heâd examine that too closely yet), so Sanzo actually got some sleep.Â
Of course, that didnât mean that things continued to go smoothly.
âSANZO!â
The door slammed open, several monks milling in the doorway, all speaking at once as Sanzo startles awake, shoving Goku over so he can reach for his gun under the pillowâstopping with it halfway drawn out as he blearily recognizes the monks.
Hadnât he told them not to come into his room!?Â
âThereâs an emergââ âSanzââ âFire!â
He canât fucking hear them when theyâre all shouting at once.
Goku was finally sleeping soundly when he was abruptly awoken to shouts and screams and was roughly pushed aside. Not even fully awake yet, his subconscious started to panic, creating his heart to beat faster and his breathing to quicken. The monks were still shouting but Goku couldn't comprehend what was going on. It was almost like he was in a state of shock. That was when it got all to much causing him to scream out, his golden diadem breaking to pieces.
The transformation of the Seiten Tasei started taking place, causing immense pain for Goku's body and mind. He was so overwhelmed with pain and fear that his other self took over, causing everything to go black for Goku.
The Seiten Taisei slowly sat up, his mane of hair obscuring his face. He could hear voices but wasn't paying attention to them. All he paid attention to was his energy growing inside him. It was awhile since he was last released and he relished in his physical body. Slowly sitting up, he cast his gaze to the man next to him, cat like eyes glaring.
