Lirin: so here's a new chapter. Thanks for waiting patiently for me.

Goku: And we have huge meatbuns for Brave Kid, jigsaw and Lovely Descet for reviewing. where did our others go?

Kai: Hn. Leaving the new kids curiosity behind, Lirin does not own Beyblade or Saiyuki. And now we'll shut up so you can read.

Chapter 21: Confused Saru

Getting back to the dojo the mood had remained gloomy over the Bladebreakers. Goku had not said a word since Leo left and everyone was worried. Tyson had even tried prodding a response by bring up pizza again, but he got nothing.

Even inside he was silent as he left the group and went to his room. He wanted to be alone so he could think about what had happened not even an hour ago.

"No one bother him" Kai said when they heard the door close.

"That's mean Kai" Tyson snapped.

"No, it's not."

"But with everything that happened he should have someone with him. I know I wouldn't want to be alone" Max explained siding with Tyson.

"Trust me it's best for him to be alone right now to think. And this discussion is over." Kai turned around and went back outside going to the backyard to spin Dranzer.

"I don't care what Kai says, I'm going to check on Goku."

"Wait Tyson," Rei's gentle voice stopped the Dragon master from taking a step. "I think we should leave Goku alone for a bit. He's probably really confused right now and just needs some time to clear his mind. So please give him some time and he'll come to us when he's ready."

"Then what should we do?" Max asked feeling really sad about not getting to help his new friend.

"Anything except bother Goku...and Kai."

"Come on Maxie, let's get some gaming in before Kai decides we need to train until dinner."

"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it" Goku growled as he punched his pillow. It was all he could to do to relieve his frustration of his confusion. At first he was shocked at having lost, but now with the shock over he was back to being confused and pissed.

He wasn't sure who to believe. The blond who shot at him, or the teen who easily defeated him. They were like night and day, complete opposites. And if they really were opposites then one must have been speaking the truth. But which one?

"Ugh, why can't a remember?" He pounded the pillow again. "I want to know." he stopped the pillow abuse as he curled up in a ball. "Is that so wrong?" he cried.

Sooner then Goku could realize he had cried himself to a deep sleep hugging his pillow.

Goku looked around and he was sitting in a dark cold place. He could make out the formations are rocks surrounding him. And in front were rocks forming bars blocking the outside world from him.

"What the hell?" he asked himself looking around again. Checking again he was definitely trapped in this stone cage and it was cold. "Where am I?"

Outside a child laughed in the distance.

"Hey" he called to the laughing kid. "Can you help me?"

The laughing continued as it drew nearer. Goku squinted into the dark night and saw the form of a small person in robes and their hair tied up approaching. As the figure got closer he could see the person's golden eyes glowing along with the mark on his forehead.

"So you ended up back here?" the person stopped a little ways from the bars. He had a big goofy grin as he looked in on Goku.

"Back here? What are you talking about? Get me out of here."

"Sorry old friend, but I can't. And neither can the other this time."

"Other? What are you talking about" Goku was yelling as he was loosing his patients with this kid. "What is going on?"

"Sorry but I can't answer those questions. But remember how you feel in this place and look for the ones who make you feel the opposite. If you can find them then your memories shall return to you."

"Huh?" Goku asked as the boy began to disappear in the night swallowed by the darkness. "That doesn't make any scenes" he called after the person.

"It will" he boy's voice came from no where and echoed around Goku.

When the voice died Goku leaned back and fell on his butt. If he hadn't been confused before, then he definitely was now. He didn't get anything the kid said, but he knew he had the answers he wanted. And who was that other person he spoke of?

He looked around again. Dark, stone and coldness surrounded him. He felt alone and scared. And there was something about this that was making this seem vaguely familiar but he couldn't tell for sure.

"Someone help me..."

Goku jolted awake in a cold sweat. His head ached from the crying and thinking he'd done. But the more he tried to think about things the more pain he caused himself. So he decided to give up and just sat on his bed doing nothing...well almost. His stomach began to rumble so he rubbed it soothingly.

"Guess I should feed you, huh?" he laughed when a louder rumble came. "Okay food."

Getting off the bed he saw out the window and realized it was dark out and the house was oddly quiet. It was easy to figure he'd been out for a while and the others must have gone to bed.

He tiptoed to the kitchen and saw a note taped to the microwave in what he realized was Rei's writing.

'Goku I thought you might get hungry later so I left some pizza left overs in the refrigerator. Just put them in here for a few minutes to warm them up if you want. Hope you're feeling better about things Rei.'

Goku followed the instructions on the note and warmed the pizza slices Rei had saved from Tyson and Max and ate them in peace. He was glad that the others were sleeping and not bugging him about how he was doing. If they had he wouldn't have an answer for them. Although he wouldn't mind it if Rei was there so he could try and talk and figure out what his dream had meant. If he could figure that much out he would be feeling much better about the situation he was in and about everything that happened that day.

Lirin: well things are just not looking up for Goku. first people confuse him, then his dreams. He just can't catch a break.

Rei: please looking for our next chapter that should be coming soon. Maybe Goku can catch a lucky break in it. or i might find a boyfriend.

Hakkai: also please review while you're waiting for the next. It makes Lirin happy to know what people think and encourages her to work harder to make it even better. Thank you.
