Chapter 3

Tenpou and Kenren exchanged terrified glances. They looked around the library panically, wondering what has happened.

"Goku, daijobuka?" Tenpou asked.

Goku was stretching his arms far away from his eyes, in his hands was a colourful book with childish cartoon pictures on it.

"Oi, don't scare us like that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Kenren yelled, clutching his throbbing heart.

Goku jumped down from the ladder and went to Tenpou.

"Ten-chan, can you please lend me this book?" Goku asked.

Tenpou looked at the book Goku was holding and smiled when he saw the title. Written on it was 'Pork Bun versus Beef Bun'.

"Sure." Tenpou said.

Goku shoots a fist into the air. "Yahoo!"

A sweatdrop roll down Kenren's head. "Ugh!" he sighed. "How babyish!"

"Come on, Kenren. He's just a kid." Tenpou said with a giggle. Then he turned to Goku who is sitting on the floor leaned againts the shelf and reading the book. "I'm sure Nataku wanted to be treated this way, too. A kid."

Kenren nodded. Silence filled the air once again, with only Goku's voice chuckling and giggling to himself.

"Oh, I remembered something." Kenren said, trying to change the subject and the sad atmosphere. "Nataku is coming back today, I think."

"Eh? Nataku?" Goku asked, lowering the book from his face.

"Yeah, Nataku." Kenren answered. "Wanna come along and welcome him?"

"Sure!" Goku screamed with delight, dumping the book at one corner.

Kenren went out as Goku followed behind him.

"Uh, guys..." Tenpou got interupted as the door slams shut. "Yare yare desu-ne."

AN: Ok, you know what I'm gonna say. Review, please. Feel free to tell me all your comments so that I could improve. Anyway, the sad part is coming up. To all Nataku fans, I recomend you to prepare a box of tissues. Wah....! I'm sad myself, too. Blows nose
