The Colour of Blood

It was a normally bright morning. Heaven was filled with chirping birds and the sounds of people chattering away. Everyone was preparing for the God's birthday. This was when everything started.

"Kono.Baka saru!! Nani shiagare?!?!" screamed Konzen.

Sanzo hits Goku on the head with a paper fan.

"Itaiiii~ Nan nan da yo!!" wails Goku.

"What did you do with the Sake (an alcoholic Japanese drink) I left here?" demands Konzen.

"Sake? I didn't see it!!!" retaliates Goku.

"Nanda. I thought you drank it.." says Konzen.

Suddenly, Kenren barges in.

"San.. zo!!" calls Kenren, out-of-breath.

"What do you want?!?!" says Konzen.

"There's been a protest!! The gods are fighting against one another!! Tenpo is badly hurt!! He may die!!" said Kenren.

"What?!? Saru!! Let's go!!" said Konzen.

They found Tenpo, lying unconsciously in a pool of blood. He was barely alive. They hurried him to Kanzen Onbonsatsu, also known as the Goddess of Mercy.

"What's this? Oh. It's that cute little Tenpo guy, isn't it? How wonderful. Something interesting is finally happening in Heaven!!" said a delighted Goddess of Mercy.

" Dodemo ii kara hayaku Ten-chan (w)o dasukete!!" wailed Goku.

"Ii yo, Goku."

"A re? Ten-chan!! Okiteru no??"

"Buji nano ka?" asked Kenren.

"I'm fine," replied Tenpo.

Suddenly, Tenpo collapsed..

Everything happened so quickly.

Tenpo fell..

Kenren, Goku and Konzen ran..

The Goddess of Mercy looked petrified.

The general beside her ran toward Tenpo.

Tenpo fell onto the floor, unconscious.

The bleeding apparently caused him to lose a lot of blood, causing Anemia. (Anemia is the condition whereby there are a larger number of white blood cells in your body than red ones.)

Looking at the blood, a sudden flash into the future.

His master's blood..

That eye-piercing pure red colour..

Flowing from his master's limp body..

The view zoomed out..

Is that, me?

Nah, it can't be.. But what if it's true?!

(Could this be the end of Tenpo) thought Konzen, suddenly.

No!!

He grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped it taut around his arm.

He drew out some blood and transferred it to Tenpo, as the Goddess of Mercy would do to him in the near future.

But,

It was of no use.

Tenpo was gone.

He was gone.

Never to return.

He was sent to the next place after heaven..

The place of reincarnation..

Where he was to be reincarnated.

Into earth once more.

As Cho Gono.
