"URUSAIi!" roared the enraged, lanky god. He continued to pull the squealing Goku by the ear.
"Iteee, itee... nani oh, Konzen...hyi dae..." The heretic boy pouted as he was thrown onto the bed and landed in a swirl of blankets and pillows.
Heat steamed from Konzen's blond head, the side of his mouth slightly twitching as he grabbed his paper fan, "Anatawa...baga...saru!!!" he said through clenched teeth, the fan rising and coming down in a series of hard hits.
"I-iteee...iteeee~ee...ahhhh...yamete yo...Konzen! Iya!" clutching his head protectively, Goku ran around the room, trying to avoid the chasing blows of the furious god who finally threw the boy out of the room, yelling, "Get out and stay out! And if I ever catch you with that youkai or any other filthy creatures, kur ruke seu, baga saru!"
The door slammed, leaving poor Goku alone, sitting on the ground. After a moment of indecision and mumbles of 'Konzen hyi dae', he got up and padded away, grumbling all the while.

"Ano...daijoubu desu ka, Goku?" Goku looked up into the warm green eyes of Tenpou Gensui.
His head lowered, "Ten-chan...iya...nandemonai," Goku sighed. The beautiful Tenpou wondered at the usually light-hearted boy's sadness, then gently guided Goku to his room overfilled with books.
Taking down a leather-bound human war history book, Tenpou absently flipped through it while stealing little worried glances at the cross-legged seated downcast boy.
He placed back the book and went on his knees, "Goku-chan, you had a fight with Konzen, ne?"
Goku sniffed, "Wakanai yo...he always hit me...I didn't do anything..." Goku's golden eyes watered, as he whispered inaudibly, "Now oji-chan is gone too..."
Tenpou looked away, smiling as he shakes his head, murmuring to himself, "They fight like lovers...but Konzen finally looks like he is alive, unlike before. It's all because of that kid..." he took a deep breath, thinking, I used to know someone who does not know how to smile or drink or enjoy, Konzen Douji. Now he is different but you can't help but thinkā¦
Tenpou rubbed Goku's head and laughed good-naturedly, causing the boy to look up with wide eyes in surprise, "Daijoubu desu, Goku. Konzen is just in one of his moods. You know, sometimes we must do the unexpected to get someone to smile...don't think too much, Goku, ne, just be yourself..."
Goku blinked, something clicked in his mind and he leaped up, a huge grin on his face as he ran out, waving, "Sankyou, Ten-chan...bye-bye..."
Goku skipped happily, feeling better after his talk with Tenpo. I know what to do now, he thought to himself.

"Oi! Gaki! What are you doing here?" barked the guard.
Goku's lower lip trembled as he looked up at the scary looking man.
"Ano...I'm here to see oji-chan..." stuttered Goku, shifting his feet.
"Dame!!" shouted the guard. "No one is allowed to see the prisoner," he laid a heavy hand on Goku's shoulders and tried to push Goku out of the dungeon.
"Iya!!" said Goku, " I'm not moving until you let me see oji-chan!!" His eyes flashed determinedly, meeting the guard's angry eyes bravely.
"Itee!!" yelped Goku as he was shoved, none-to-gently, out of the dungeon, landing on his behind.
"Yiada!" shouted the guard, and slammed the entrance door shut.
"Hyi doii!!" pouted Goku, rubbing his behind. He got up slowly, getting an idea.
---
"Eh?" wondered Kougaiji, "I thought I heard Goku's voice." He quickly scrambled up and looked out of the small window of his cell. His eyes widened when he saw Goku.
"Iya!! I'm not moving until you let me see oji-chan!!" he heard Goku shout. Goku's here to see me? thought Kougaiji, feeling a little pleased. He frowned when he saw the guard shove Goku roughly.
Sighing, the demon prince sat down again.
---
"Hehehe," Goku giggled to himself. He peered inside and found the guard gone.

*Flashback
"Ohayo obasan!!" greeted Goku cheerfully.
Kanzeon Botatsu raised an eyebrow when she saw Goku waving at her. Her eyes twitched in annoyance as she realized what Goku had called her. "Don't call me obasan," she ordered, "I'm not that old!"
"Demo, Konzen calls you kono baba," uttered Goku, his eyes blinking innocently.
*Sigh*
"So, what can I do for you, Goku," asked the Goddess of Mercy.
"Eto..." Goku looked down.
Kanzeon Botatsu leaned forward and motioned Goku to continue.
"Ineedyoutohelpmefreeoji-chan!" said Goku in a rush.
"Eh!!" Kanzeon Botatsu crossed her arms, her eyes flashing with amusement, " You mean that red-haired youkai prisoner?"
Goku nodded furiously, " Hai!!"
"Hmm, won't Konzen get mad?" murmured Kanzeon Botatsu, fingering her chin.
"Demo...oji-chan didn't do anything wrong," said Goku, his eyes pleading.
Kanzeon Botatsu smiled mischievously, " Sure, why not..." she agreed.
Goku cheered loudly, jumping up and down, his golden eyes sparkling. The ever-indifferent goddess smiled as she took in Goku's antics and laughed inwardly as she imagined the look on Konzen's face once he finds out what Goku had done.
