Chapter 2

"I-ite!" groaned Kougaiji, clutching his head. What the...what happened…???

The last thing he remembered was the fight with...

"GOKU!"

He bolted upright, expecting a punch any second. But instead what he saw made him widen his eyes in surprise...and awe.

It seems that he was in a beautiful paradise garden which was filled with countless variety of flowers with a myriad of colours, their scent almost overpowering.

Where the hell am I??? Have I died and gone to heaven??

All of a sudden, the sound of Goku's voice reached his ears, he quickly scrambled up and saw Goku talking to the fighting god, Homura, another of Kougaiji's enemies. Kougaiji frowned, …there's something wrong, he realized.

Goku looks...younger?? He noticed that Goku was bound by shackles, and holding a bunch of flowers.

Kougaiji wondered about this peaceful scene. Questions were swirling in his mind, why does Goku look different...smaller with longer hair, like when he tuned to demon form...the only difference was that he's golden eyes were filled with innocence and naivety...but the fighter in him dismissed all thoughts.

Here was an opportunity to get rid of his enemies!

Kougaiji crept towards them, gathering a fireball in the palm of his hand. Just as he was about to strike behind Homura, Goku turned and noticed him.

Goku smiled and waved happily, "Ohaiyo oyaji!

Eh?!

The fireball dissipated in Kougaiji's hand as Homura, indifferent, walked away. Goku skipped towards him, " Ne... I'm Goku, who are you?? He asked.

Kougaiji stared at Goku in bewilderment, What?? Goku doesn't recognize me??

"Kougaiji..." he answered faintly.

Goku smiles sweetly, "Come with me" and the little boy dragged the still stunned Kougaiji along, all the way to Konzen's office.

Konzen Douji, the nephew of the Goddess of Mercy, was sprawled on his chair lazily, legs on the table, as he throw paper airplanes made from his documents, across the room.

He started as Goku barged into the room, "Konzen, hora hora… flowers!" He happily arranged them in a small vase, as Konzen stood up and looked at Kougaiji.

"What is this filthy creature doing here!" he barked at Goku.

Kougaiji's jaw dropped in shock, "Sanzo!! What did you do to your hair!? You look like a girl!" Kougaiji unable to control himself, turned into chibi form and burst out laughing uncontrollably, rolling on the floor.

A throbbing vein immediately appeared on Konzen's forehead as he whipped out his fan and started whacking Kougaiji.
