[ Next time. There's only two people left who Gojyo cares about enough to do something this stupid for, and they're both in this room. If Hakkai's at his side next time, it'll be because Goku is dead.
The thought settles over his mind like fog, a thick and smothering terror. They're all going to vanish eventually, he realizes, as Goku chatters angrily in his ear. And if they don't, then they'll still have to watch everyone they care about vanish.
Oh god, that's so much worse. He can't think about that. ]
Forever's way too long. [ Wait, no... he shakes his head. That's not what Goku was saying, is it? He's saying don't go without me -- Hakkai is, too -- and it's making Gojyo want to reach out and wrap his arms around both of them and insist that that's his line. Don't go without him, please. He can't bear to feel this way again.
But instead, he gives Goku a halfassed shove. ] I hear you, shrimp. [ The movement hurts, but it's tolerable -- Ken does good work. ] Next time I'll come get you first. Both of you.
