We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who had lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence. – Joseph Roux –
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. – George Washington –
He who hasn't lacked assembly language as a youth has no heart. He who does as an adult has no brain. – John Moore –
This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it. – William James –

"He's waking," a lady, sitting next to a pond of lilies, watching the realm below, said.
"What do you mean, Kanezeon Bosatsu?" another man clad in an armour suit-like thing, named Jiroushin said.
"He's waking. My dear nephew," replied the said Kanzeon.
"You mean……Konzen Douji-sama?"
"Who else?"
"What do you mean by 'he's waking'?" inquired the man.
"He's waking from the dream. After his long sleep of fifteen years, he's waking up, at last," Kanzeon replied, resting her chin on top of her hands.
"I thought…..I thought…."
"Yes. He was killed, right here in Tenjyoukai, and reincarnated as the highly priest, Gejo Sanzo. And now, their journey's ended, and here he is, reincarnated once again, as a student in Araiso Private High School, 1000 years later," she continued.
1000 years before…..
"Let him go!" the 23 year old blonde deity, Konzen Douji shouted at the men who held his pet.
"Sorry, Konzen-sama, but we're under Tentei's orders to bring him away from you," one of them men said.
"Hanaseyo!" Goku said, struggling to be free from those forceful grasps.
Out of nowhere, someone came out from the gathering crowd, holding a sharp dagger, and ran towards the blonde deity.
Goku's POV
Someone plunged out aiming at him with a sharp knife. Konzen! It reflected the light that shone from the sun and blinded my eyes for a moment, making me close them, tight. A few moments later, I really regretted and hated myself for opening them, for I knew that the scene waiting for me will change my life, forever.
End of POV
There Konzen was, lying limply on the ground, his lavender outfit all stained with crimson substance, blood. Someone stabbed him at his heart, causing him to cough out blood.

I wish….
You happiness on a cloudy day
Blue skies to chase your worries away
A breath of fresh air when you are feeling down
Anything to get rid of that frown
A sprinkle of rain,
And a life free of pain.
I wish you warmth from the rays of the sun
And a lifetime of joy and fun.
Just keep your eyes to the sky,
And you'll know that……I am always nearby.

"Konzen!" Goku shouted as he saw what befell on his keeper. He broke himself from the deathly grasps of those men, and went for his guardian.
He held him tight, laying in his arms.
"Konzen! Me o ageruyo!" Goku shouted, tears stinging his golden eyes.
Konzen laid there, motionless. He flickered his eyelids and opened his eyes, revealing a pair of painful, eyes of violet. His eyes were filled with pain, yet it showed love and strength.
"Konzen! No! Don't ever leave me!" Goku sobbed.
"Go….ku……." he stopped, and coughed out another pool of blood.
"No…..no…" Goku said, shaking his head, letting those crystal tears fall free from his cheeks.
"No…don't cry. What happened to all the….things that…..I taught you? Be strong…, " Konzen said, trying his best to put on a serious tone. "Don't cry….please…you're hurting me……seeing you cry gives me much more pain than what the dagger gave me…..please…don't cry. What hurts me most is to see tears falling from your cheeks. Those miserable tears are not supposed to fall through your happy face…..no, they don't….." he continued, caressing Goku's cheek with his hand weakly.
"Iie…..Kon…..zen…."
"There's something I want to….[cough] tell you….." Konzen struggled to say, and lifted up his right hand to cup goku's cheek.
Slowly, he brushed off the flowing tears and said, "Zutto zutto….aishiteru…no matter how long it takes me, [cough] no matter…how many incarnations it takes me……no matter how long it takes me…..I'll wait….I'll wait for you….one day….[cough] I'll come and find you…..come to seek you…remember this….wait for me…." And with that, the hand that was stroking the youth's cheek dropped and fell limply by his side.
"Konzen!!!" Goku shouted as loud as possible, hugging the blonde deity.
"Arrest him! Arrest that itan" a voice boomed.
Two guards held Goku by his arms. Goku struggled as he was separated from his sun. Then, he felt that something was taking over his mind. It was plain torture. He felt that his head was splitting into halves making Goku scream in agony.
Then, the sound of gold breaking was heard, followed by a scream of pain. The spectators moved their gaze from Goku to the fractured gold laying on the ground beside him. The golden diadem on his head broke. Then, a brunette by the name of Tenpou Gensui chose to come in at this moment, along with Kenren Taishou.
"The diadem was a device that suppresses his power. Having power that is equal to tha tof Heaven, Seiten Taisen Son Goku. The Great Sage equal to Heaven, The Heavenly Shaman. Now that his diadem broke, his great power is released and is totally unstoppable. Senten taisen, Son Goku, is no longer the Goku that we used to know. HE is now, an unstoppable killing machine," Tenpou explained.
"NANI?!" said Kenren, shocked.
"Is that…is that….K-Konzen?" Thenpou gasped.
"Ooi, saru, let me try stopping you, saru!" Kenren said.
Thus, the fight started…….
Four youths woke up to find themselves dreaming. They were Genjo Sanzo, Son Goku, Cho Hakkai and Sha Gojyo.
"Not another dream," Sanzo mumbled and took a look at the alarm clock.
5.45 am.
"Ch~," he said, and got off the bed. "Woke me up so early."
After settling himself in the bathroom, he slipped into a loose, beige shirt, and buttoned the first two buttons only, and a pair of dark blue jeans, and a silver chain with a single amethyst dangling around his neck. The darkness of the amethyst took out the fairness of the pale skin underneath.
He poured some hot coffee from the coffee maker and took a few sips. He took a look at the morning vies from his glass windows that pictured the whole of Tokyo.
Sharp at 8, he made for school.
In the school library (1.08 p.m)
Sanzo walked towards the counter where his green-eyed friend was sitting. He needed to borrow a few books from the library.
Suddenly, Hakkai heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and looked up. The books that Sanzo was holding were scattered on the ground. Sanzo had his right hand at his head, and he was swaying back and forth, showing signs of blacking out.
Hakkai rushed to his friend, but before he reached there, a boy a few younger than him rushed to Sanzo's aid.
Wow! Who's that? Nobody dared to even go near Sanzo…who's that kid? Hakkai thought to himself.
"Sanzo! Are you okay?" the boy said.
This voice…golden eyes…brown hair…..it's him…..Sanzo thought.
"Mi……graine…." Was what came out from Sanzo's lips before he collapsed.
It hurts…….feels like I'm falling…..to the ground…..but…there's a pair of arms….supporting me…..all the while preventing me from falling.
That was what that ran through Sanzo's mind before he lost to his subconscious.

Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to nurture it in solitude and to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads. – Erica Jong –
Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven. – Henry Ward Beecher –
The journey itself is the reward. – Taoist saying –
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that takes our breath away.
Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality. – Erich Fromm –
When there is pain, I wish you peace and money.
When there is self doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
When there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
When there is fear……I wish you love, and courage.
~ * ~ * ~ *
Stay strong, Genjo Sanzo.
Those were his last words, that was his last smile, that was his last wish.
"I failed to protect him….Mamoranakatta….."
Sanzo opened his eyes, he felt that he was in his own bed. He sat up, and the dor opened. In came the kid who bears the name, Goku.
"Aa….Hakkai! He's awake! He's awake!" he said, jumping in glee.
"Ah…Sanzo……you're awake," Hakkai said, walking in.
"What happened?" Sanzo asked.
"Well…you –" Hakkai started, but was interrupted by Goku.
"You fainted in the library! So, we brought you home!" Goku exclaimed.
"You're too loud, saru," Sanzo remarked.
"Hara hetta…..Sanzo…." Goku whined, looking deep into those violet eyes.
"Ch~. There should be something in the fridge that could feed you."
"Yahoo!" Goku squealed in delight and ran out of the room.
"Tell me, what happened?" Sanzo said.
"Well….in the library…..you fainted. Before I could get you, Goku already went to your aid. You were lucky for he was there, if not, you would have fainted on the ground. HE was supporting you all along, and he brought you here. He was really worried about you," Hakkai explained.
"Ah….sou…" Sanzo mumbled.
"What happened to you?" Hakkai asked.
"No idea. Had a migraine, and this one hurt more than the ones that I had before," Sanzo replied.
"Why? You hardly have them."
"Saa…Guess I didn't have enough sleep."
"How come?"
"Woke up too early."
"Why?"
"Stop asking! It's irritating! Had a weird dream."
"Gomen, gomen," Hakkai apologized. "Weird dream? How was it?" he asked, suddenly turning serious.
"There's this blond guy, long hair, in a lavender outfit, violet eyes, come to think of it….he really looked like me! Well…he was killed and this kid, his pet they call him, named….Goku. I think, he –" Sanzo said, but was interrupted.
"He was really sad because of the blond, Konzen's death, and his power suppressing device broke," Hakkai put in.
Then, they heard Goku's voice.
"Then, he was called Seiten Taisei, Son Goku, right?" Goku said,walking in.
"Yes!" Hakkai exclaimed.
"How come…." Sanzo mumbled softly.
"Why did we have the same dream?" Goku thought out loud.
"Ooi, Goku. Why did that Goku in the dream has the same name as you? And, he looks so much alike you," Sanzo said to Goku.
"I…..dunno…." Goku shrugged.
"And, who are Konzen, Tenpou and Kenren?" Hakkai said.
No answer.
"They are yourselves…." a different feminine voice said out of a sudden.
