"Konzen....please, open your eyes. Please. Let me see your beautiful violet eyes once again. Just open them! Onegai, Konzen!" Goku silently said.
"Ah, Goku," Kanzeon said, coming into Konzen's room.
Goku was sitting on a chair facing Konzen, who was on the bed, still unconscious. Goku's face was wet, a result from crying continously in the hour.
"Kanzeon...." Goku trailed off.
"Go to your room and have a nap. I'll take care of Konzen, he's my niece after all," Kanzeon offered, sincerely.
"But...but...." Goku struggled.
"No buts."
"Okay......" Goku said, and went to his own room.
When Goku was gone, Kanzeon looked at her blonde niece and said, "Konzen, wake up. Don't sleep anymore. There's someone out there who really care about you, quick, wake up!"
Konzen's POV
Those words, from the kuso baba's lips? Can't believe it. Ah, why can't I reply to them? Why can't I just open my eyes and talk to them? Why? Someone that cares for me? Does she mean the baka saru? WHY? Why can't I say a word, or even move???
~ End of POV ~
One week has passed, and Konzen still showed no sign of consciousness. On the following day.........
Kanzeon had been sitting there, facing the still unconscious Konzen for three whole hours now. Many stuff had been running through her mind.
One hour later.........
"Mmph...." was heard from the bed.
"Konzen? Are you awake?" Kanzeon said, rushing to her nephew's bed.
"Huh?" a confused Konzen said, looking blankly at the goddess.
"Konzen?" Kanzeon said.
"Who are you? And who are you calling Konzen?" he asked, innocently for the first time.
"Who am I??? Don't you know me? The ku - , nothing," Kanzeon said, stopping herself from saying the word 'kuso baba'.
"No. Never knew someone that ugly," Konzen said.
"Hey! Watch your mouth, gaki (kid)," Kanzeon threatened.
"Who are you calling gaki, kuso baba?" Konzen snapped back.
"H-How did you remember the word?" Kanzeon stammered.
"What how did I remember? I'm not stupid and brainless like you. I know words," Konzen said, rolling his eyes.
"Hah! Do...do you know who Konzen is?" Kanzeon asked.
"Baka. Of course, that's my name. Of couse I know my name, you just told me," Konzen replied with a smirk.
"Since when did I tell you that you're Konzen?" Kanzeon said, searching to her mind.
"The first second when I woke up? You were saying the word Konzen over and over again looking at me, and of course I figured out that my name's Konzen, ba~ka," Konzen said.
"Ish! This kid...." Kanzeon muttered, veins popping out.
"Anyway....how do YOU know me? I don't remember knowing a kuso baba," Konzen said, casually.
"Who are you calling kuso baba????" Kanzeon said, totally pissed off.
"You. Who else is sitting here? You expect me to talk to the wall?"
"Arghhhh!!!!!!"
"So, how did you know me, baba?" Konzen said.
"Of course I know you. You're my nephew!" Kanzeon replied.
"Nephew? You've got to be kidding!" Konzen said.
"Obviously not! Who would want a nephew like you? I'm forced to...." Kanzeon muttered, loud enough for Konzen's ears to hear.
"Look who's talking...." Konzen teased back.
"Whatever you say," Kanzeon said, turning to go out.
"Wait!"
"What?"
"Come to think of it....why.......why can't I remember a thing?" Konzen said, seriously.
"You-you can't remember a thing?" Kanzeon said, surprised.
"No. Totally blank," Konzen said, uneasily.
"Are you sure?" Kanzeon said, curious whether her nephew is tricking her or something.
"Duh, I am! Why wouldn't I be sure?" Konzen snapped.
"Not a single thing???" Kanzeon said, moving closer to the bed.
"Stop asking stupid questions!Don't you understand words? Or are your brains too old to comprehend anything that I'm actually saying? Can't you hear the word 'totally blank'? Kuso baba," Konzen said, irritated.
"Okay, okay. Are you setting a trick or is it for real?" Kanzeon said, still curious.
"Why would I wanna set a trick on *you*? It'll be sooooo easy to set a trick on your stupid brains, why would I wanna waste my time?" Konzen said, casually.
"You stupid kid! Stop teasing me!" Kanzeon exploded.
"Yeah, yeah..." Konzen rolled his eyes.
"Seriously, I really don't know why," Kanzeon said, turning serious.
"Why don't you know? You should know, u're my *auntie*, you know?" Konzen said, choking on the word 'auntie'.
"Well...I'm not sure *nephew*. But, all I know is that.....that......" Kanzeon stammered.
"That what?" Konzen said, sitting up.
"That....you're poisoned," Kanzeon finished.
"Poisoned??? Haha.....look, I feel so fine now, see?" Konzen said, sitting up straight.
"No, it's true. You're poisoned by a type of poison that will make your memory lose day by day. And if we don't find the antidote to that poison in three weeks........you'll......you'll....." Kanzeon stammered again.
"I'll what? Quick, say it out! I'm ready for the worse," Konzen said, putting on a fake smile.
"You'll lose your memory forever, and you'll never recover your memory back, even if you have the antidote," Kanzeon said, frowning.
"Really?" Konzen said, raising an eyebrow.
"And you only have two weeks more," Kanzeon said.
"Sou ka....." Konzen murmured.
"That's why you don't remember your childhood days and things that happened a few years ago, I guess," Kanzeon guessed, struggling to not break into tears.
"Hey, now I know....I can't remember a thing on my childhood days!" Konzen said. "Never knew you were so smart," he continued.
Kanzeon was in no mood to argue with her nephew now. She knew that he was trying to reassure her to not worry a thing, but how can she not?
"But....why can't I remember you? Or this place? Or....ah!!!!!!!" Konzen said, wincing in pain.
"Why? What happened?" Kanzeon said, panic.
"My head.......it hurts!" Konzen said, holding his head.
"Great, you'll get a headache once you try to remember the past. Just great." Kanzeon muttered to Konzen, while helping him settle down in his bed.
Once Konzen was asleep, Kanzeon walked out to face the others.
When she opened the door, she saw Goku and Jiroushin standing in front of the door to Konzen's room.
"How's Konzen?" Goku asked.
"He's....he's....." Kanzeon's figuring out a way to tell them about Konzen in a way so that Goku wouldn't cry. She knew that if she says out the truth flatly, a chibi saru will surely break into tears straight away.
"He's what? Tell me, I'm ready for the worse," Goku said, staring at the floor.
"Wow, they are really fated. They even say the exact words," Kanzeon thought to herself.
"Ready for the worse, huh?" Kanzeon said softly.
"Nani?" Goku said, looking straight into Kanzeon's eyes.
"No wonder Konzen's changed ever since his saru came. His eyes.....even though they're heretics' eyes, but they're charming, pretty, innocent," Kanzeon thought, but soon pushed those thoughts away from her mind.
"Okay.....Goku......" Kanzeon started. She is going to tell Goku the real truth.
"Poor him, he'll surely cry after I tell him," she thought.
"Konzen...he's -" she was struck in mid-sentence when a flying arrow came dashing through the gap in between her and Goku.
They swerved just in time to avoid the flying arrow from striking the in their hearts.
The arrow struck the wall and crated a small crack on the wall's smooth surface of Konzen's "house".
"Hey, watch it!" Kanzeon said, wondering who was the culprit behind these things.
"Bosatsu, nandesu ka, sore (What's that)?" Jiroushin said, pointing to something white attached to the arrow.
"Looks like a paper to me," Kanzeon said, approached the arrow, and took of the piece of paper.
"It's a note," Kanzeon said. "Let me read it," she continued as she unfolded the paper.
All Goku could do was to wait for Kanzeon to read the note, and prepare for the worse. Jiroushin felt like he was going to die of curiousity.
