Little Bird
0 ReviewsGoku remembers a sad memory.
"Sanzo I'm cold" Goku whispered as he moved closer to Sanzo. Hakkai Gojyo and Hakuryu were already fast asleep.
The journey to the west sometimes took them to face harsh roads, snowy mountains and storms. This time they were unable to reach the next town before night fell and a snow storm began. Their only choice was to take refuge in a cave and wait for a calm morning.
"Can you be that boy's sun?"
"Go to sleep" Sanzo softly said as to not wake up the others.
"This makes me sad" Sanzo gave him a puzzled look. "The storm" Goku explained in a whisper. "When I was trapped, one winter a little bird came. It didn't come too close to me but I was happy just seeing it because it was the first living thing I saw in a long time. But a there was suddenly a snow storm and the little bird couldn't fly home. The wind threw it to the ground really hard and it must have gotten hurt because it struggled to get to safety but couldn't. I wanted to pick it up and make sure it was alright. I though that if I held it gently and kept it warm it would be ok but I was trapped" his eyes became watery. "I was trapped and I couldn't help the little bird, I couldn't reach no matter how hard I tried. All I could do was watch it die in the cold with no one to help."
"Can you be his source of light and warmth in a cold world?"
"You're not trapped anymore" Sanzo spoke in a much softer tone than usual.
"I know because you saved me. Thanks for taking care of me, I'm really lucky to have someone that takes came of me..." Goku leaned against Sanzo who placed and arm around the chibi in a gentle hug. He couldn't help it but to care about the golden eyed boy. He would make sure he was always safe and never left trapped and alone ever again.
"Chibi Taiyou, you are his sun..."
