Chapter Two: In Heaven

A/N: Sooooo many reviews!!! Thanks!!! *bows a few dozen times in five seconds* This chapter will reveal who is the special person I was talking about in the last chapter! This chapter will be short because I'm going to put the real action in the next chapter.

For justsomeone: The last chapter was about how the Sanzo-Ikkou were separated in the first place.

Goku woke up to find that he wasn't in the desert anymore. Hakuruyu is still fast asleep. He reliased that he was in a room. Light was streaming in from a nearby window. "Good morning Goku." Goku turned his head to find someone in the room with him. He was wearing something like Sanzo's robe but he was a bit transparent.

Goku: Who are you?

Stranger: Komyo. Komyo Sanzo.

Goku: *looked around him* Where am I?

Komyo: You've been taken back to Heaven.

Goku: Back.... *a sudden series of flashbacks started to flood his mind* Back...here? Oh. I see. * he also recalled what had happened to his friends and looks a bit downcast*

Komyo: Daijobu deska Goku?

Goku: *smiled and put on a straight face* Hai.

Komyo: *sat on the bed next to him* Yokkata.

A pause.

Komyo: Your still sad about your friends aren't you?

Goku: *looks down* Hai. *feels like crying and breaking down*

Komyo: Maa, maa. Don't take it so hard.

Goku: Demo... *looks away*

Komyo: Don't blame yourself like Koryu. It's not your fault. It won't bring them back.

Goku: *clears his tear filled eyes* Your right. I can't bring them back.

Komyo: I can tell you one thing though. They're gone, but they're not dead.

Goku: Hontoni?

Komyo: Sou.

Goku: Why are you telling me this?

Komyo: Since Koryu can't guide you, I might as well do it.

Goku: Matte! How do you know my name? *looks at Komyo intently*

Komyo: I've been around. Koryu worries too much.

Goku: Koryu? *remembers the time when they had encountered Rikudo/Shuei* Wasn't that Sanzo's old name?

Komyo: It was until I gave him his Buddhist name. He doesn't really have to upset about that night though.

Goku: *it dawned him* You were the Sanzo that raised Sanzo right?

Komyo: It can't be helped. He won't stop calling me.

Goku: Sanzo said I won't stop calling him too. *a thought just struck him* But aren't you dead?

Komyo: Of course.

Goku: How can I see you?

Komyo: All will be revealed due time.

The door opened to reveal Konzeon Bosotsu and Nataku. He turned to look at Komyo but realized he wasn't there anymore.

Konzeon Bosotsu: *sees Goku turning around to see something* What are you looking at?

Goku: Nothing.

Hakuruyu: *wakes up* Kyu! *flies to Goku's shoulder*

Nataku: *sees Goku and almost immediately begins to brighten up* You're the kid who keeps running off without telling me his name aren't you?

Goku: Nataku! You still remember me! *smiles happily*

Nataku: You're lucky I know your name now or I would've had to make you tell. *smiles back*

Konzeon Bosotsu: Nataku, are you happy with your little reunion?

Nataku: Hai. *remembers that she wants to talk with Goku* See you later Goku! *leaves*

Konzeon Bosotsu: I think Hakuruyu would like to stretch its wings for a while.

Hakuruyu: *gets the massage* Kyu! *flies out of the room*

Konzeon Bosotsu: *sits on a nearby chair* Goku. Long time no see.

Goku: Hai.

Konzeon Bosotsu: *frowned* Aren't you hungry?

Goku: Iie. For some reason, I don't feel hungry anymore.

Konzeon Bosotsu: Is that all?

Goku: And...and...I don't feel as genki as I use to be.

Konzeon Bosotsu: It must be the change.

Goku: Change? What change?









AFN: If anyone hasn't noticed, the special person happens to be Komyo Sanzo! A lot of you didn't guess right but nice try. Don't feel sad about it. Maybe you'll get another chance. I need at least five more reviews to continue. If I don't have it then...you know what happens. I'm not threatening. Please don't be angry with me for this. It's weird none of you got it right. But it's okay. *hands out marshmallows to everyone T-T*
