Chapter 5: The Rocks Down Under

"Goku you're to heavy for the jeep!" Gojyo exclaimed, "We can't ride in the jeep with you." "Fine, We'll just leave you behind," Sanzo said. Goku gave a small whimper as his objection. "If you drive slowly I can run." "No way. We'll just have to walk." "Wait! I can hover." "Why didn't you tell that to us earlier," Sanzo yelled whacking him on the head. "Because it's hard to hover." "..." They continued on in the truck and Goku flew along side them.

Night fell and the Sanzo-ikkou stopped to rest. Goku collapsed on the ground. "Goku!" Hakkai jumped over to him and put a hand over Goku's forehead. "What's up with him?" Gojyo asked. "He was using his chi like I use for healing and energy orbs. Even though he was remaining close to the ground hovering it still takes a lot of energy." "But doesn't that take a lot of concentration? How can our little buddy here concentrate that hard? Come to think of it Goku's been acting smarter lately." Goku opened his eyes and got up struggling. "I've always been smart, but I didn't want to show it," Goku mumbled in frustration. They heard. "What? Why?" Goku glared through them and didn't answer. "And what was that thing you said earlier? What did you mean?" Gojyo demanded shaking him. "You aren't supposed to know if you don't know. If you should know you will." "What do you mean?" Gojyo shouted continuing to shake him.

"Oh calm down and leave the boy alone." The goddess of mercy came down from the clouds in brilliant lights. "Huh?" Hakkai said in surprise. "And you Goku weren't supposed to remember, however I'll let you keep those memories if you want." "I do," Goku said shortly. "Very well. That's all I came down for so I'll be going now." Goku gave a big grin "Still bored? Just wait you'll see a show." The goddess gave a small mischievous smile, "really now? Interesting." She disappeared in the blink of an eye and they were left alone. "What did you mean by a show?" Gojyo asked. "3 2 1" The floor collapsed beneath there feet and they found themselves in a cavern greeted by a demon. Sanzo shot him before the demon even got to speak. "I see, interesting for her but not for us," Hakkai laughed. "I have something to do down here. Sorry but I'll have to leave," Goku said. "Hey wait. Why are you taking our food supply bakasaru." "Because I'll need it ero kappa. I'm not sure why yet but,―and I didn't take all of it." "Baka." "Hentai." "Oy," Sanzo sighed. "At least they're back to normal," Hakkai laughed with a smile on his face.

All of a sudden Goku straitened up in the middle of their argument. He looked surprised and flustered. "Huh? Kara." Goku disappeared in a whirl of white lights. "Ah grate," Gojyo said. They were left to face the challenges of the caves by themselves.

Goku appeared in a field of flowers at a cabin. A young girl with light blue hair and silver eyes wearing a silver diadem looked up at him. "Ni san!" She shouted in joy and ran to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and started to weep. The ten-year-old girl spoke to him quietly. "Ti sah neeb lufwa. Eth ecalp I deyats ta saw deyortsed. Esoth ecin elpoep tath koot erac fo em. Yeth deid. I saw decrof ot kro sa a evals ere." Goku held her close staring at the wooden cabin. He was angry that anyone would do such a thing to his sister even if he had only known her from visions. Suddenly the cabin burst into flames. Goku gasped, he knew had down it, but he hadn't been able to control his powers and in a matter of seconds the cabin was burnt down. He had tried to control the flames but he had failed for those flames also raged in his heart and he was unable to control those flames of anger that burned fiercely in his heart. His head spun with the pounding of his heart as he tried to control his power but then he blacked out. His diadem cracked in two and the weight on his wrist, ankles, and neck shattered. Kara removed her diadem. "Shh peels rethorb... Sleep." The flames, which had begun to engulf Goku's, body died down and his diadem appeared back on his forehead. She held him and whispered something in his ear. "I will take the blame for what you have done. I will in the time of eight years be locked away. Then five hundred years from then I will meet up with you. Your visions allow you to see me in your sleep and mine you so we will never be apart. Now go back to your time and wait for me. Goku grew to his original age then disappeared.

"Great so Goku's gone and we're stuck with all the work," Gojyo said. The three of them were facing a big hoard of demons, stupid demons, but still annoying. They blasted them left and right then they heard the moan of a wall about to give way. They thought it was more stupid demons, but what came out when the wall crashed down was not what they expected. The wall came down reveling nothing behind it then there seemed to be a tiny blur of something. "What was that?" Hakkai asked, "ug." Hakkai curled down in pain clutching side. It was bleeding as if someone had just sliced him. "What the?" Gojyo said puzzled keeping his guard up. He fell backwards on the ground then clutched his now bleeding forehead. Sanzo stepped to the side and a chunk of the rock behind him was taken out. He then sat down pulling out a cigarette and lit it as a chunk of the wall where his head had been was taken out. Sanzo used the scripture to freeze their attacker. "Your too noisy," he said. Gojyo sliced at the now slightly visible blurred figure and it shattered. "Sanzo, how did you know where that thing was?" Hakkai asked. "It was slow and noisy," Sanzo said annoyed.

"We should go see if we can find out where Goku is," Hakkai suggested. They wandered on the now clear path going deeper and deeper into the cave. The tunnels stretched for miles. "We've been walking for days and this is what we find!" Gojyo shouted. What they had found was a dead end. A nice curved off entrance, which was blocked by a wall with symbols on it.

(sorry I haven't figured out how to put in my picture yet.)

"What does this mean?" Gojyo touched his finger to a small sun shaped whole. His finger slid down to a crescent shaped moon, which cradled the elegantly shaped sun. Gojyo remained staring in aw when he started to hear a loud rumbling noise. They looked to find that the cave ceiling behind them was caving in. In the blink of an eye they found themselves outside next to a village.
