Rest in Peace
After a pleasant nap, Sanzo had woken up to the not so pleasant atmosphere of a panic. Monks were running around, nearly bumping into each other. Flowers were being collected, tears were being shed, and Goku was being criticized.
As Sanzo stepped out of his room he overhead some monks talking. "Did you see that boy, bringing flowers with such happiness? He thinks this is all a game!"
"Terrible, horrible, that ingrate! After all Sanzo-sama did for him, the ungrateful brat can't even mourn his death."
Death? Who could they possibly be talking about? "What's going on?!"
The monks slowly turned towards the sound of the voice. There they saw Sanzo. "Ghost!" Without giving Sanzo any explanation other than a scream of terror, they ran away.
Goku was happily running around outside, collecting flowers and putting them in a pile. "Sanzo! Why didn't you tell me you were having a funeral? This is fun, the monks are playing with me because it's your funeral! Hey Sanzo... What's a funeral?"
Eight words, eight little words caused a panic in the temple, eight words caused the monks to believe that Sanzo had died and returned as a ghost. Goku repeated things too literally and the monks did not take them literally enough.
While Goku innocently waited for his answer, and the monks prayed to help the 'ghost' pass on; Sanzo remembered his earlier words all too clearly. "Shut up and let me rest in peace."
"They never fail to amuse me..." The Merciful Godess was, as always, watching.
