Thank you to those people who sent me the reviews! ( Much greatly
appreciated! Anyway, I'm trying to make these chapters longer, so please
don't kill me!
ANYWAY. On with the third chapter!
Konzen sat, musing over Kenren's new responsibility. At least the girl had a name now. He looked over to where she and Goku were playing. While Goku ran around as fast as he could, she would chase him, and somehow always catch him. Then they would get into a wrestling match, taunting each other even though she was already sitting on his back, pinning him to the ground. Unlike Goku though. Heyana looked to have been about 19 or 20 years old, but she still had that innocent look on her face mixed with pure mischief.
"Oi! Konzen!"
Yet again, the loud, drawl from Kenren. He was holding a bag full to the brim, with food, and in the other hand, his trademark, a bottle of wine.
Konzen just gave him his customary glare. "You have too much free time these days."
Kenren smirked in reply.
Heyana and Goku looked up from their wrestling match.
"Kenichan!" they both yelled, promptly jumping on him. He toppled over with a loud, very loud thump.
"Ow! You little brats! Get offa me!" he yelled at them, trying, without success, to cover his grin.
"Aw, has the great Taishou got a soft spot for kids?" Konzen snickered from his desk.
Kenren just scratched his head, grinning ruefully. It was true that he loved the two kids, and that he really didn't mind getting toppled over in their show of affection. It had almost been a week since Heyana had been placed in his care, but she hung around Goku more, so they could play, since Nataku's father was keeping a tight watch on him. Since she was female, they had given her a separate room from the renowned 'Erotic' Taishou, but her room was right next to his.
"My, my, aren't we a bit cozy."
Everyone turned to see Tenpou, doing his best to hide a smile.
Heyana promptly went over to grin at him. "Ne, ne, Tenichan, can we have a picnic?"
He smiled at her. It was hard not to, since she was so adorable. "Where did you have in mind?" She replied, " Umm, how about that place that those so called 'royal guards' brought me from?"
Tenpou's expression changed to one who was in deep thought. "Hmm, I guess we could. after all, it's not like there's any type of danger there."
Kenren grinned. "I guess I'll be needin' more sake and wine."
Goku looked anxiously at Konzen. "Ne, Konzen, can you come too?"
Konzen was about to say no, but when he saw Goku's eyes, and Heyana's eyes, he changed his mind. "Fine, fine."
"Yaho!" The two kids yelled, giving each other a high five.
~*~*~*~*~*~
After a short while, the small group trekked through a forest in the mortal world, Heyana bounding ahead, with Goku close behind her.
"It's here!" she yelled.
They emerged into a wide beautiful clearing. It had a lake in the middle and many flowers surrounding it. Heyana was sitting at the lake's edge staring intently at the waters surface.
Tenpou questioned her, "Heyana, daijoubu deska?"
She looked up and smiled. " 'Course I'm okay."
Goku darted quickly behind her and pushed her in, but she grabbed his shirt, so they both fell.
Goku's head popped out of the water first. When Heyana's head appeared, she was holding a large blue tinted orb in her teeth.
She swam very quickly and gracefully to the others and spat the gem out.
"Ne, Kenichan, you want this?"
He walked over and took a closer look at the orb. "What is it?" he asked.
She replied, "It's a pearl that I had in my hand when I was born. I hid it in this lake to keep it safe, but you can have it."
Tenpou gazed at the pearl, obviously trying to remember where he had ever heard of blue pearls that were as large as a baby's fist.
"Isn't that a dragon's pearl?" Konzen asked, walking up next to Kenren.
Goku looked quizzically at his owner. "What's that?" he asked Heyana.
She looked skyward and scratched her head as she replied, "Umm. I think it's supposed to be one of those pearls that the dragons usually hold in one of their claws. Some people say that it's supposed to bring real good luck to anyone who has one."
"Heee."
Kenren stared hard at Heyana. "Are you sure you want to give this to me?"
She looked up at him, her eyes seeming to pierce his soul. She grinned. " 'Course! You need all the luck you can get, since that fluffed up bitch is starting to get annoyed with your attitude."
He sneered at her. "And your attitude's not pissing her off?"
Once more she grinned at him as she replied, "Even if I am, she wouldn't dare hurt me, 'cause I can hurt her worse."
Tenpou suddenly looked interested. "How?" he asked politely.
Heyana for the first time in front of them, looked down, her head hanging as if she was thoroughly depressed.
"Even gods can be killed, or tortured," she whispered. "I was created for that reason by, by the one who made them. I was supposed to be the one to constantly remind them that they were not the most powerful things in the universe."
A silence fell over the clearing. An innocent looking girl was supposed to be the one to do such cruel things, things that she didn't want to do.
Kenren looked up and clapped his hands together. "Well, is this supposed to be a picnic or what?"
The others stared at him, and everyone started to smile, except for Konzen of course, but his eyes seemed to look less depressed.
Heyana grinned and dunked Goku's head in the water, and yet again, they started their little wrestling matches, just this time, it was in water.
Tenpou and Kenren laughed at them as they set up the picnic area. Konzen just snorted and pulled out the newspaper he had reserved just for this.
A few minutes later, something green, wet and slimy hit Konzen in the back of his head. Furious he looked around, and saw Heyana and Goku smiling innocently at him. He slowly stood up. Reaching a hand to the mess in his hair, he gave the two elementals a glare. As soon as he touched the clump in his hair, he knew it was watercress, so once he had hold of it away from his hair, he ran after Goku and Heyana.
Heyana ran into the lake and swam quickly away to the middle of it. Goku however, was rooted to the spot, because Konzen never ran. And so, he was grabbed by the back of his shirt, and his owner shoved the watercress in his wide and gaping mouth.
Kenren was rolling around on the ground, clutching his belly as he laughed at the sight of the blond god fighting with a saru. Tenpou was also laughing, but he was not rolling around. He called out to the three others (excluding Kenren), "Lunch is ready!"
"Food!? Where!?!" Goku yelled as he ran towards the picnic basket. Someone with wet hand, grabbed him around his waist, and carried him the rest of the way to Tenpou. When Goku looked up, he saw it was Heyana with a big grin on her face.
~*~*~*~*~*~
When lunch was done, the five lazed around the clearing. Kenren and Tenpou seemed to be in a drinking match, and both were getting redder and redder in the face. Konzen was reading again, and Goku was sleeping. Heyana was lying on her back, staring at the sky.
When she saw that it was getting dark, she called over to Konzen, since the other's were too drunk to notice, "I think we should be getting back by now."
Konzen looked up from his paper. "How are we going to get the drunks up there?" he asked.
She thought for a moment and said, "How about you hold saru, help me with Kenichan, and I'll carry Tenichan."
Konzen lifted up an eyebrow. "You sure you can carry Tenpou?"
A grin.
He sighed. "Fine, fine."
So they set out to clean up the picnic, and finally (somehow) managed to get back to Heaven.
