Before we continue this fic, we'd just like to clear up a few things and ask a few questions.
First, it's Konzen, Kenren, Tenpou and GOKU. Right Goku! And Goku is paired up with a girl that's NOT Lirin-type… more of a contradiction. We put Goku on a mission because, Kuroi Neko-kun is crazy enough to do so… [Hee-hee]
Next, WHAT IS A MARY SUE?! And WHAT DOES SHOUNEN AI MEAN?! We get that a lot but we don't know what it means!!
As for Shiun having green hair, it's dark green and it looks like what Tenpou's supposed to have… [I think] and she's not that Gyukoumen bitch… She's like the female version of Konzen, only funnier and more attractive!
Part 3/4 for the mini series. Co-written with Kuroi Neko-kun.
Rated for usage of cuss words.

This is Tenpou's turn! ^__^
Saiyuki gaiden no gaiden—sono san!!!
By Gyuumajo
"Tenpou?" Kenren jogged up to him, cleverly maneuvering in the midst of the cramped little room, which isn't that small actually.
"Um?" the bespectacled youth answered, well, not really paying attention at all as he finished the last page of the book he was reading.
"Mattaku na, omae…"
"Oh! Sorry, Kenren. You said something?" Tenpou dusted his white (lab) coat & set the finished book on top of another messy pile.
"Sheesh…"
"Ken-chan!!"
"Ah, here's comes trouble for you,"
"Ha. Ha. Ha." (A/N: Kenren's expression is -_-)
"There you are! And where's that malt candy I asked you to get?"
"*Chuckles* malt candy?" Kenren shot the field marshal a death glare. (A/N: for those who don't know, malt candy is this sweet, sticky goo made up of (u guessed it) malt, that we use chopsticks to dig into & twirl over & over again to stop it from dripping down the stick before we eat it. Kinda fun to twirl but it is hard work to sell it coz it's damn sticky! I had to sell it once in a school fair & I really regretted it. X_x)
"Maa, I shall take my leave for now so…" he trailed off knowingly. Kenren sighed as Nemuri pounced on him.
"Ja na~, Ten-chan!!" she grinned happily. "As for you, you're gonna piggy-back me for the whole of today!"
"But that's what I've been doing for the past week!!!"
"True, but you ain't officially her sedan," Tenpou quickly slipped out of the room after saying his last thought aloud.
"Sumimasen, I'm looking for volume two of this book. Do you have it?" Tenpou held up a thick volume of the Three Kingdom (A/N: yesh, this book really exist! I forgot the author though *sweatdrop*. My dad bought the book, read 1 chapter & forgot about it. Too busy I guess…)
"Hmm, sorry 'bout that but the last of my stock was sold just before you came in,"
"Oh. Is there anyway I could—" he was abruptly cut off.
"Sorry, do you have the continuation for this?" Tenpou turned to his interrupter & laughed softly while the owner of the shop.
"I was just about to as if the shopkeeper could reserve that book coz the last copy was borrowed by someone else!"
"Huh, is that so?" she gave a genuine smile & gave a respectful bow. "Yoroshiku. Watashi wa Keina desu."
"No 'hajime mashite'?"
"I think this isn't the first time we've met, don't you, Tenpou Gensui?"
"!!" Tenpou quickly hid his surprise & gave the girl a thorough assessment. 'Hmm, light blue hair tied neatly; smart, alert & not to mention mesmerizing gray eyes; intelligent & confident aura… Now where have I met such a babe before without them being taken, of course…' He gave a mental sigh of dejection before realization kicked his mental ass.
"Say, do you know Shiun & Nemuri?" he eyed her with amusement.
"You are the smartest among the four," she cooed.
"About the book?" The bookstore owner sweatdropped, bringing them back to their current situation.
"I have a feeling you'll have to reserve one," she gave a smile.
"…Only one?!" he exclaimed but the 2 "customers" were already off.
"What made you come to that store? I didn't see you much & mind you, I am a really regular customer here,"
"The book?" she feigned innocence.
"Other than the book," Tenpou eyed her, still looking for an answer.
"Well…Nemuri & Shiun suggested this place for me to find that book," she shrugged, still faking her innocence.
"Nemuri, I understand but Shiun??" Tenpou stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Well, she has her fun side but her pissed-off side is usually on 24/7," she sighed.
"Ooh yeah. Tell me about it," he stopped abruptly. "I didn't mean Shiun…I'm talking about Konzen!!"
"That's one more common point," she checked her list mentally. Tenpou smiled & tilted his head towards the sky.
"It's getting late. So, do I have the pleasure of asking the fair lady before me for dinner before we head back?"
"It would be my pleasure," she took his hand & bowed teasingly, before giggling—since both do not care much about formalities even in the heavenly realm.
"You had a date with her?!" Kenren exclaimed over the piles of scrolls.
"Why can't he? You seem to always have the fun," Konzen put his two cents worth, while stacking the papers neatly.
"What about you?" Kenren pointed out. Konzen acted like he didn't hear the redhead.
"Ah… Konzen seems to be touchy of the topic," Tenpou went, smiling at them, as he went into his room.
"I'm still not done with you!" Kenren yelled after the researcher.
"Leave him alone," Konzen muttered," he doesn't seem to want to talk about it."
"Why not? It's not like he had sex with her after…" Something struck them both.
"TENPOU!" The both of them shouted at the closed door. "TENPOU GENSUI!!!" Frustrated, Kenren kicked the door open to see his friend fast asleep on his bed, the only well-made item in his house, since he doesn't use it much.
"Looks like he partied all night…" Kenren smirked.
"And we never noticed because he hides the fact that he's tired," Konzen crossed his arms.
"We'll interrogate him tomorrow?" Kenren lit a cigarette.
"Who said I'd join you?"
"Just say you're curious or you wouldn't be screaming at Tenpou," Kenren grinned. A vein popped at Konzen's temple.
"I swear I'll kill you one day."
"Too bad, gods can't die or it'll be the most fun thing I've seen you do." A fan connected to his head.
"URUSAI!"
"Oi! Where do you get that fan?!" Kenren was about to pounce on the secretary when…
"Anou… Is this Tenpou Gensui's house?" The two turned to the door to see a blue haired girl, her gray eyes wavering.
"Hai… What's your business here?" Konzen asked, his tone staid.
"More importantly… What's your name, miss? It's not likely for us to find such a beauty---!!" A whack on Kenren's head cut his sentence. The girl giggled.
"Watashi wa Keina desu, yoroshiku," she bowed.
"Keina? Then you're the girl that Ten--" Another whack connected to his head, this time it made Kenren pass out.
"Forgive this idiot, Keina-san… I'll get Tenpou…"
"Iya, I'm actually here to see my superior, the one who just lost consciousness," Keina pointed to Kenren's still body.
"Masaka! Then you're…"
"Hai, I'll be working with them from now on," she announced, smiling.
"Sonna… that means that the both of you…" Kenren muttered, massaging his temples. The blows from Konzen weren't as bad as the blow that came from Tenpou and Keina.
"She'll be working on half of my research projects. I filed my request a week ago, Kenren, which you signed," Tenpou eyed his superior, who sweatdropped.
"I did?" Konzen sighed as he took a sip from his teacup, muttering something that sounded like 'incorrigible'.
"And with Nemuri-san's influence, I was able to get the job," she added, smiling.
"So this means the both of you will be working under one roof, huh?" came a voice from behind them. The four turned to see Shiun and Nemuri, winking at the couple. All of them blushed, their own reasons disclosed.
"W-What are you talking about?" Keina stammered as she turned beet red.
"Keina-san, don't be shy," Nemuri teased as she tapped the other girl's nose," Ten-chan's really nice! And I think he knows his stuff…"
"Nemuri-san…" Tenpou had a red line on the bridge of his nose.
"Dame desu… I'll be working at my own apartment and send my reports--"
"As superior, I can't run around chasing after you guys… so the both of you have to stick to one spot. Up to you where it's going to be…"
"That's the spirit, Ken-chan!"
"Kenren…" Everyone else besides the two that are blushing madly, laughed.
It's kinda short isn't it? *frowns*
*Dies* man…my muse dropped me with tons of ideas & left without warning. Now ideas are piling up & I can't seem to write a nice fic about any of those!! *sob*wails*floods her house*
Read & review!!
