Chapter 3

"Oi...nani desu?" a curious lazing red-head sat up from the tree branch that he was laying on.

Tenpou Gensui paused. He too was transfixed by the scene . The heretic boy, Goku, was happily pulling an unknown lean man by the hand towards the study of the erratic Konzen Douji.

Tenpou shrugged, then he laughed ,"He looks like a demon.

"Sou...." replied Kenren Taisho , as he leaned back to his original position stretched along a branch ,and he smiled, "Goku ahh...what a boy. Wait 'till Konze..."

---

A huge crash burst from the Goddess of Mercy's nephew's study , as tremendous yelling ensued.

The enraged Konzen, with veins popping out of his forehead, threw Kougaiji out through the door.

The demon prince snarled, "What the hell are you doing?!!!!...you @*?!@!! I'll pay you back for that."

A swirling fireball gathered in the palm of his clawed hand...

"Eh...kirei...," A crouched Goku smiled, tugging on Kougaiji's sleeve as the fireball dissipated.

Konzen, who was getting angrier by the minute, snatched Goku away and started whacking him furiously on the head with his weapon.

"Ite...ite...iteeee...!!" yelped Goku,trying to protect his head from the blows.

"I...do...not...want...you to...interact...with...with...that...creature!" barked Konzen, all the while whacking Goku.

Finally Konzen ceased his attack leaving poor Goku on the ground , a foot twitching in the air ,smoke steaming from the numerous bumps from his head .

Kougaji scratched his head, watching the scene in front of him, with a blank look on his face , before he shrugged and a swirling fireball begin to form in the palm of his hand again.

"Ano...do you think we should help that youkai?" asked Tenpou.

Kenren shrugged, "Should we?"

---

"Guards!" yelled Konzen while dodging the fireballs attack. A dozen guards suddenly appeared and grabbed Kougaji.

"Lock him in the dungeon," commanded Konzen.

"Oji-chan!" wailed Goku, grabbing Kougaiji's leg as the guards dragged him away, cursing all the while.

Konzen pulled Goku away."I do not want you to go near that creature again," snapped Konzen, a vein throwing on his forehead, "Do you understand me!?" Konzen shook Goku.

"Hai," replied Goku, looking crestfallen.

---

"Konzen sure is jealous," snickered Kenren, watching the scene.

Tenpou laughed, "Hai Hai."

---

"Ch!! That stupid Sanzo," growled Kougaiji, the chains on his legs clanking as he paced to and fro in the cramped dungeon, "Who does he think he is, locking me in here!" Kougaiji continued to grumble.

"I'll get him back," Kougaji swore, an evil grin began to spread on his face as he contemplated on his next plan.

A plan that involves...Goku.
