"Tch, fuck you," Kenren murmured, although there was no bite in his voice. His words were practically coming automatically by now as he tried and failed to process what was going on. People died, they had died, but it wasn't supposed to be like this, not here, not now. They had things to do, battles to fight, and they couldn't fucking do it without Sanzo!
His hand closed more tightly around the sutra, a white knuckled grip as though he intended to never let go of the relic.
He barely heard Sanzo when the monk spoke again, but caught the whisper, leaning closer so that he could hear the rest.
Goku... figured that would be the last thing on his mind. It was reassuring in a way. He was Goku's sun and Goku had to be important to him. It set Kenren's mind at ease about that at least. He gripped Sanzo's hand firmly, giving the monk a fiercely determined look. "He's waiting," he said. "You'll hear him yo-"
He broke off with a harsh noise, anger and hurt and more emotions that he couldn't really put a name to at that moment. He only let go of Sanzo's hand when the monk finally stopped breathing altogether, resting it carefully at the monk's side.
