8th chappie!!!!
I'm so glad this thing is really working. To be honest...I thought making a
story off this idea would just cause my fan-fic writing to be put down.
I mean...I have read a lot of stories based on this sort of thing. All of 'em
are very well written and very well thought out to be unique, and fun.
I had a feeling this one would suck royal dick .
So, I'd like to take a moment to recognize all of my reviewers. (If you wrote in as an unknown user or I forgot you, please e-mail me your name so I can fit you in next chapter!)

===============================================================
Nature's first green is Gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
As Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to day...
Nothing gold...can stay. –Robert Frost.
===============================================================
The demon tightened his grip around Goku's neck, causing the boy to choke out a panicked scream.
Goku didn't know what to do, until he felt the demon loosen his hold and drop him.
Goku choked and coughed on the ground for a minute trying to regain his strength. Sanzo stood above the demon holding an old rusted crow bar he had found in the trash can next to him.
The demon got up and back Sanzo into a corner. "Say good bye Blondie."
Goku's mind raced as he saw images of the man he couldn't save so long ago. He summoned nyoibou and ran at the demon full-force, knocking the loser on his ass.
"Say goodbye ugly!" Goku mocked.
The demons eyes widened as he studied his attacker. "You're...You're Son Goku! That de-"
Goku killed the demon before he could finish.
Sanzo stood there against the wall watching Goku. He had no idea what to think about this.
It began to rain and they stood there staring at one another. Goku's face was drenched and when Sanzo looked at him and image took over his vision.
Goku stood there, drenched in both tears and blood as he cried over the body of a man about his age. It was the monk he had seen in an earlier dream.
Who was this man? And what did he have to do with Goku?
Sanzo snapped out of it and saw that Goku was standing right in front of him.
"Can we go home now?" the boy asked.
Sanzo closed his eyes and waited for the heart-breaking image to leave. He brought his hand to the top of the heretics head and ruffled his hair. "Yes."
Goku smiled, and they headed to the car.
===============================================================
"I can sense him..." said a voice.
"Son Goku...a creature born from a rock 1000 years ago...a heretic...like myself."
A man pushed his hair away to reveal a gold eye.
"These dreams...seem...so real. Like they actually happened. If he is real...then so was I. I was..."
He paused and looked into the heavens "A god."
Homura closed his eyes and smiled, letting the rain drops trickle down his face.
"I will find him...and he will be the key to my becoming a god once more..."
===============================================================
The next day Goku awoke with the TV on. He tiredly moaned and sat up rubbing his head.
"Oh good! You're up!" said a cheerful voice coming from the kitchen.
Goku turned around and saw a woman cooking a stew. His face went entirely red as he looked at his attire.
A tan colored shirt and blue boxers. This was no way to make a first impression.
"I'm Kanan. I'll be your watcher for the next few weeks." She smiled.
"You mean....babysitter?" he said. Thinking she was just joking with him.
"No. Babysitter is way too harsh a word. I think watcher is more appropriate, don't you?" Kanan laughed.
She poured some of the stew into a bowl and brought it to Goku. She scooped some into the ladle and handed it to Goku. "Tell me if you like this. It's a new recipe I just thought up."
Goku took a sip from the ladle and immediately went for more.
She laughed went back to fill the bowl up. "You sure are a hungry one aren't you?"
Goku nodded and jumped off the couch to get changed in the bathroom.
He came out a minute later wearing the only pair of clothes he had left. A red shirt that now had a hole in it, blue jeans that had holes in the knees and ratty sneakers.
"Oh my!" Kanan gasped. "The dump just called. They want their clothes back." She joked, but she saw Goku shrug and said. "Why don't we go and get you some new clothes?"
"Yay!!!" Goku chirped and jumped up.
Kanan smiled and grabbed her car keys. "Let's go."
===============================================================
"So...Sanzo just left without saying goodbye?" Goku pouted as he and Kanan walked around the department store.
"He didn't want to wake you up so early...he said something about how you both had a run in with a demon last night."
Goku shrugged. "Yeah..."
"That must've been quite scary."
"Not really."
To change the subject of demons, Goku picked out a pair of jean shorts and a blue button-up short sleeve shirt. "I'll try these on." He said and walked into a dressing room stall.
Kanan patiently waited outside for him.
While in the dressing room, Goku sat on the small bench. He thought about the night before and the expression on Sanzo's face as the rain fell.
Did he know?
Goku finished changing and went outside to see what Kanan thought.
"That looks absolutely adorable!!!" Kanan squealed.
'Adorable' was not the reaction Goku wanted.
Kanan told the sales clerk to put Goku's old clothing into a bag so he could wear the new outfit out of the store.
"Thanks Kanan!" Goku cheered.
She smiled and ruffled the boy's hair.
They sat on a park bench to rest a while.
"I had a good time with you today Kanan. Will we get to do stuff like this all the time?" Goku asked with a big smile on his face.
"Of course." Kanan answered. Her expression changed to a more dream-like look as she looked at Goku. "You have such interesting eyes."
Goku was surprised. "My eyes are...interesting?"
She nodded. "I've never seen eyes with such a lovely gold color. Do you know what the color gold stands for Goku?"
Goku shook his head.
"Gold represents innocence and a love for life itself. Those who are marked by the color gold are always looking around them...and not just ahead of them. They have a way of seeing the good side to everything and always taking that second look."
Goku was amazed that this woman was able to notice his gold eyes and not call him a heretic. "Wow. Is that really what gold means?"
Kanan laughed and nodded.
As they were about to head back, Kanan grabbed hold of Goku by his shoulder and turned him around to face her.
"Goku...will you promise me something?"
Goku nodded.
"Stay gold...ok? It would be such a tragedy...to lose that innocent smile."
"Ok...I will Kanan."
She smiled and looked as if she were about to cry. "Good boy." She said and brought him closer to her.
They started to head back. Kanan had an arm around Goku as they walked.
===============================================================
"Stay gold, eh? I kinda like that. Hmm....Stay Gold. How cute." The Merciful Goddess laughed.
"You're getting along fine...aren't you Son Goku? You've learned that your golden eyes aren't just heresy...but...a way of telling who you are. Isn't that something?"
She smiled. "You just keep staying Gold Son Goku...keep staying Gold."
===============================================================
Done. -
I thought just making this chapter star Kanan would be a good way to get to know a little about who she is and what she's like. I also tried to fit a little bit of Homura in there just for kicks.
Hope you liked it!!!!
Until next time! Toodles!
