Here we go…
Tenpou is reading a book inside his library. He just got some interesting books about wars and human history. He just finished his 10th book—and is still reading the 11th one, until Gokuu suddenly shows up.
"Ten-chan~!" Gokuu cries out.
"Gokuu?" Tenpou lifts his head and looks at the crying culprit confusedly. "What happened?"
"Konzen~! Konzen da~!!!" Gokuu sobs. "He hates me~!"
"Huh…???" Tenpou widens his eyes. "How come??? Did he hurt you somewhere???"
"Yes! He hurt me!" Gokuu points to his lips. "He hurt me here!"
Tenpou becomes even more and more confused. What did Konzen do to hurt Gokuu—on his lips??? "You mean---he—kissed you?" he guesses.
"Kiss---yeah… Ken-nii-chan called it that…" Gokuu rubs his teary golden eyes.
"Kenren?" Tenpou runs a hand on his hair. Yes. It must be him. Who else? There's only one troublemaker in Tenkai—excluding himself, Gokuu and Kanzeon Bosatsu of course… "What did he tell you?" Tenpou puts a hand on Gokuu's cheek, "Tell me."
FLASHBACK
"Konzeeeen~!!!!" Seiten Taisei Son Gokuu, Tenkai's biggest troublemaker jumps on his guardian's lap happily. "Konzen! I found a very beautiful flower field~!!! I couldn't take all the flowers because there're sooooo many of them, but I want to show you~!!! Let's go there!!!"
Konzen twitches. Can't that mischievous boy see the mountain of paperwork on his table? Now he has to stop for—a bloody flower field?!
"No." Konzen replies coldly.
"Konzen~!! Come on!!!!"
"NO!" Konzen repeats. "I have to work now. If you don't have more important business, then stop bothering me, you little saru."
Gokuu sighs and his eyes turn teary. He likes Konzen… but at times he's really a meanie bastard. Why does he always bother to look at the stupid paperwork instead of playing with him in a beautiful flower field? Adults are just hard to understand.
"Uhn… OK…" Gokuu climbs down from Konzen's lap and about to leave him when---
Konzen suddenly pulls him back and presses his lips on Gokuu's…
Gokuu widens his eyes at the unusual treatment from his master. He blinks for a moment until Konzen finally lets him go.
Muttering a soft 'bakazaru', Konzen turns back to his paperwork, leaving the heavily shocked Gokuu standing uncertainly in front of him. And finally, with a bark, he drives Gokuu out of his room.
***
Gokuu is still stunned. He touches his lips and remembers how nice it feels. What is it? He never saw anybody doing something like that before. Maybe he should ask Konzen to do it again…
"Yo~! Gokuu!" Kenren suddenly appears behind him. "What the hell are you doing there, little saru?"
"I'M NOT A SARU~!" Gokuu pouts angrily.
"Fine, fine." Kenren grins. He just loves to tease the little saru. "Now tell me, what were you thinking about?"
"Nothing. I was just thinking about Konzen." Gokuu explains. "Konzen just did something strange to me."
"Strange?" Kenren's hentai mind pops out. XD
Gokuu nods.
"Can you explain to me—What did he do?" Kenren asks anxiously.
"He—sort of put his lips on mine." Gokuu pouts.
And Kenren goes blank to Gokuu's answer. Sort-of-putting-his-lips-on-Gokuu's---??? And his brain accesses the new information. It means that--
Konzen just KISSED Gokuu.
What---
"GREAT NEWS!!!" Kenren yells out happily, "This day has finally come upon you, Little Monkey!!! The day has come!!! Let's celebrate this!!! I'm going to ask some maids to cook and---"
"Ano… Ken-nii-chan…" Gokuu sweat drops. "What's to celebrate?"
Kenren gets stunned on act. Masaka… the saru… can't get the sign…?
*THUD*
Kenren falls with his nose making the first contact with the floor.
"You—" Kenren is now confused. Should he be angry or laughing aloud? One certain thing; Konzen would have cried if he heard this…
But wait…
Why the hell should he explain everything to the little saru?
The more confusing, the more complicated… the more fun. That's life.
Kenren grins evilly before deciding something really terrible for Konzen and Gokuu…
"Oh no… Konzen has done something really horrible…" Kenren shows a sad face. "He—wanted to kill you!"
"What?!" Gokuu's face turns pale, "Konzen---w—wa—wants—to—k—k-ill—me—"
"That's right." Kenren says with a serious face. "You know… the thing he did to you… is named… KISS."
"K—k—ki—ki—kiss---" Gokuu trembles as if the word is the scariest word in the world.
"Yes. It's KISS." Kenren tries to cover his smirk. He's dying of holding his laughter now. He just hopes that a few words will be enough to manipulate the stupid little monkey. "After doing a kiss, in the night you will feel cold… then in the morning… you… you… you WILL DIE!"
"GYAAAH~!!! NOOO~!!!!" Gokuu shrieks in agony. "NO WAY!!!!!!"
"I'm telling you the truth, Saru!" Kenren looks at Gokuu seriously.
"B—but—why—Konzen—?"
"Because you always bother him." Kenren grins evilly. "That's the reason, Saru."
Now Gokuu is crying hard. He can't believe that the person he likes the most; Konzen, tried to kill him in a very terrifying way. What did he do wrong? He just wanted to cheer him up… Is that wrong? Why does Konzen hate him so much?
"Ssh… Don't cry… I have a way…" Kenren whispers. "There's only one way to neutralize the poison…"
"W—what is it?" Gokuu asks with teary eyes.
"You have to return the poison back to him! Kiss him back! With all you got!" Kenren says. "Now, before morning, you have to kiss him back. Then, you won't die!"
FLASHBACK – END
Tenpou sweat drops at the story. Really, it was a typical Kenren style. He was about to explain to Gokuu the truth when suddenly a hand clamps on his mouth.
"Ssst… Don't ruin the mood." Kenren whispers. "You want to help Konzen, right?"
"But, Kenren…" Tenpou sweat drops. "It's not good to lie."
"This is purely a WHITE LIE." Kenren grins. "Let him be."
"Ken-nii-chan!" Gokuu sobs. "What should I do?"
"Kiss him now, you bakazaru!" Kenren pretends to be really serious, "Or you're going to die and everything will be over!"
"Iyaa~!!!" Gokuu holds his head, shrieking really loud. "Y—Yes! I will do it! I will kiss him back!!! Sure~!" Gokuu runs outside Tenpou's library.
Tenpou sighs and smiles to his tricky lover. "You… are sick."
"Love sickness." Kenren leans down to kiss Tenpou again. "Would you cure me with a kiss?"
"Silly Kenren."
"Wait~! Ken-nii-chan!" Gokuu suddenly runs back inside.
Kenren and Tenpou nervously pull away from each other. "Y—yes, Gokuu? Why did you come back?"
"Err… I want to confirm something…" Gokuu says. "If I return the poison… will Konzen die?"
Tenpou chuckles. What a Gokuu. Even after Kenren told him that Konzen was going to kill him, he's still worrying about Konzen.
"Don't worry. It's his own poison, so it won't hurt Konzen." Kenren grins.
"Ah… Thanks!" Gokuu smiles and runs back outside. Now he's very sure. He WILL kiss Konzen. Then, he will do something to win Konzen's heart. He likes Konzen. He doesn't want Konzen to hate him. He will do anything to make Konzen return his feelings. Konzen mustn't hate him.
***
Konzen is cursing himself inside his office. How on the earth could he do something like that?! It's so unlike him to lose control so easily!
Oh well… We can't call that 'easy'…
At the time, Gokuu's sad expression was just too fascinating… It made him feel really guilty. He wanted to comfort him—somehow. Then, when he gained back his senses, his lips were already on Gokuu's.
Konzen throws his pen on the table and sighs. Now he has no idea what kind of face he should show the kid when he returned. And wait… Gokuu always plays in Tenpou's place… it means that there's a strong possibility that Tenpou already knows about this … and that Kenren, too… and later the rumors of pedophile Konzen Douji will be spread all over Tenkai… and the worst, his aunt would come and tease him for the rest of his life! How humiliating!
"Konzen~!!!"
And the wind whirl finally returns…
Gokuu smiles nervously at Konzen. He doesn't know why, but he suddenly feels really nervous.
//I'm just going to return the poison… So why do I feel so nervous now…??// Another part of his mind is telling him that the thing he's going to do is not a common return-the-poison thing. It's something more sacred—more intimate—more romantic.
Why can't he call it romantic? He felt so good when Konzen did it.
But Konzen did it just to give him the poison…
Gokuu sighs and bites his lower lip.
Konzen nervously examines the boy. Gokuu must be confused now. For God sake—he's still a bloody kid! He's just kissed a kid! A small kid who probably doesn't even understand the meaning of love!
Konzen looks at Gokuu and finally can't hold himself any longer. "What are you doing there, Saru? You're going to stand there all the day?"
"N—No." Gokuu answers nervously. "K—Konzen—why—"
"What the hell?" Konzen inserts a finger inside his ear, "Just spit it out."
Gokuu turns his head away from Konzen. Konzen's eyes are piercing his heart. He still can't accept the 'truth' that Konzen just tried to kill him. Is he really a nuisance? Is it true that he's a burden for Konzen and the others?
Now Konzen feels even more nervous. Judging from the kid's expression, it doesn't seem like Gokuu liked the thing he did to him. Konzen turns his eyes blankly to the documents on his desk. Is it true that Gokuu is planning to dump him? Ch. Fuck the stupid emotional feelings. That saru certainly doesn't even understand the meaning of the word 'dump'.
Just a moment before Konzen was about to say sorry to Gokuu, the kid suddenly jumps and glomps him. Konzen shrieks as Gokuu sends him falling on the floor and sits on top of him. Just before he yells out, Gokuu leans down and kisses him softly on the lips. A/N: // Aw…
And Konzen goes blank for a good 1 minute.
Gokuu is… actually returning his favor…?
Konzen shakes his head and blinks his eyes for a better view. When he returns his gaze to Gokuu, he can only see a pair of teary golden eyes—and soon—they become even more and more teary…
"Konzen…" Gokuu sobs. "I am sorry…"
Konzen looks at him confusedly. What the hell is happening here?
"I know I always bother you… I know I always disturb your peaceful life… but—but—please don't kill me…"
Kill—kill Gokuu?! Even in his dreams he never wished that! He loves Gokuu! Why would he kill his precious monkey?!
"What are you talking about, Saru?! When did I try to kill you?!" Konzen raises an eyebrow.
"B—but—this morning—when I asked you to go to a flower field—you—you kissed me!" Gokuu sobs. "You tried to kill me!"
Konzen was confused at first. But after imagining the 2 troublemakers who are now making out in Tenpou's library, everything became so clear.
"Who the FUCK told you that a kiss could kill?" Konzen lowers his tone angrily.
"Ken—Ken-nii-chan—he told me that a kiss can—can—give you a fever at night—and in the morning—you will die!" Gokuu rubs his teary eyes, "He told me that I will be saved by kissing you back! Sorry, I did that because I didn't want to die yet! I wanted to stay with you forever, Konzen!" Gokuu leans down and hugs Konzen protectively. "I promise I won't cause any trouble! Please just let me stay!"
Konzen sighs and sweat drops. Fine. He admits that his pet is the dumbest thing in the century! Are you all satisfied?! Any objections?!
"Are you finished with your story?" he asks impatiently.
Gokuu nods.
Konzen sighs again and sits down, lifting Gokuu on his lap. "Fine. Now I'll just make it clear. KISSING WON'T KILL ANYBODY."
Gokuu blinks and rubs his eyes. "Really?"
"That damn Kenren was just teasing you for his own good." //And indirectly for my good too.//
Gokuu bends down and blushes. Now Konzen's become even more aware of his stupidity…
…………But then… a question pops out from his head.
"Then, if a kiss doesn't kill… why did you kiss me anyway?" Gokuu asks with a direct face.
Konzen turns red at once. He quickly turns his head away. "Then why did you kiss me? You wanted to kill me like what Kenren said?"
"No!" Gokuu shrieks. "Kenren told me that your own poison wouldn't kill you!"
//Fuck that nonsense-teller…// Konzen swallows and tries to neutralize his reddening face.
"Konzen…??? Anybody home???" Gokuu moves his hand in front of Konzen's nose. "Ne, ne… Konzen… why did you kiss me?? Why? Why? Why??? What is a kiss anyway??? What is it??? What is it??? What is it??????"
Konzen groans and lifts Gokuu from his lap.
"Return to me when you're at least 18. Then I'll tell you."

500 YEARS LATER…
Sanzou is reading a newspaper in his room. He inhales his tobacco while daydreaming about his 'strange' dream last night.
"Fuck." he silently curses his reddening cheeks at the memories. //How on Earth I could have a wet dream about the bloody little saru?! Hell! I'm out of my mind! Ch! Better get some sleep now…//
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"Sanzou? Are you awake??"
Sanzou sighs in defeat. It seems that tonight will also be a hard night for him.
"What do you want, Saru?!" he barks impatiently.
"Na, don't be a meanie. I just want to ask something."
# # Oh hell.
And Sanzou opens the door unwillingly.
"Now make it short. Before I lose my mind and—" //And kiss you.// "And blow your head."
"Uhn… I had a strange dream last night… Err… So…" Goku bites his lower lip and blushes cutely. "Sanzou… would you answer me?"
"Ch. Whatever." Sanzou pretends he doesn't care.
"Why did you kiss me?"
Sanzou flushes and jerks backward. "W—why the hell did you—"
"Gomen, Sanzou! I don't know why! It's just something inside my mind. Like… a kind of déjà vu…" Goku turns redder. "And if it really is déjà vu… I—"
Impatiently, Sanzou pulls Goku inside his room, pushes him onto the wall and kisses him passionately.
"I don't remember and don't care about the past or any kind of stupid déjà vu." Sanzou puts a hand beside Goku's head. "But if you referred to this one…" he leans down and whispers tenderly, "It's because I love you."
Goku goes blank for a few seconds… and when he regained his senses, he finds himself kissing Sanzou back with a tenderer kiss.
"I did that… because I love you, too, Sanzou." he smiles happily.
Sanzou smiles and pulls the smaller guy into another kiss. And now… all the questions have been answered.
BACK IN TENKAI… 500 years before…
"Ten-chan~!!!! Why wouldn't Konzen tell me why??? Why do I have to wait until I turn 18??? Why?? Why??? Why???? Ten-chan~~~~!!!!"
Err… maybe not all…
