A/N": Erm, read on please.... ;)

Thoughts are in cursive. Sorry for any confusion.

Start

Konzen

"Gokuu!!....Gokuu!!!!...Dammit, where are you?!!", Konzen shouted anxiously.

Damm!!

He searched everywhere. Under his slashed desk, the pile of cloth that was his curtains, that pile of wood and cloth that he used to sleep on every night.

"Damm", he shouted again. For once in his life, he was worried and actually showed it, he cleared once precious paperwork with a sweep of his hand, upset his ink bottle and did not care about the mess...

"Damm you!!" he shouted to the empty air. Rough knocking of furniture and paper rustling was all that could be heard from outside. Anyone looking in at the window only saw a bunch of papers flying through the air, completely obscuring the view of the chaos inside.

Konzen continued searching, through the toilet, the study, the bedroom....

"Dammit!!!! Gokuu, if I find out this is just another prank to vex me; I am going to kill you!!!"

Maybe he's already dead... A voice in his head spoke out doubtingly.

"No, he can't be!!", he muttered back quickly, trying to hide his fear.

How do you know?? Shot back that annoying voice. Maybe they've already killed Tenpou and Gokuu and are moving on to the taishou and...of course...to finish it off...You...

"No, they can't... Why am I even listening to you? You're not even real!!" he shouted out to the empty air.

Silence reigned in the dim study filled with papers and broken furniture.

An arrow whizzed past him and lodged in the door with a thwack. "Huh??"

Time went still for Konzen, he had time to see the arrow stick into the wood and quiver there, the white sheet of paper wrapped around the 'stem' of the arrow.

Then time resumed. Konzen now gasped with shock and stared at it...the reaction that should have come a few moments just now. He opened the piece of paper. On it were only two words...

'I'm Sorry'

He stared at it with shock... 'I'm sorry'??

Kenren

"Damm that bureaucrat." Kenren muttered. "Throwing up all over my uniform...Faints suddenly and wakes up just as suddenly...Damm you."

Sigh, "Tenpou...where are you?? Damm it." Kenren put his hands behind his head and stretched. "And that damm secretary had to spill my sake too. What a crazy world we live in."

Kenren was simple-minded; you could see that in anything he does. Two things important to him? Sake and sex. Simple, he doesn't need books or power or money, maybe enough money for him to gamble and buy sake, but that was it...

Kenren teleported back to Tenkai to have a bit of sake to take his mind off things.

Let's see, Kenren looked at his wallet, enough for about, hmm, five or six bottles...

And that was it, not just five or six bottles, but enough to lose his paycheck for the next century, but hey!, he'll find some money later.

Simple-minded? Yes indeed.

About five hours later, when the bar closed for the night, Kenren, stumbled out.

"hic." Damm it.. "hic"

"Hic"

"Hic"

"Hic"

Where am I? He peered around. I'm was in a forest-kinda-place, or maybe its just a park? Hmm... "hic" Things get so confused when you're drunk and there's no sober marshall helping you get through the night....

"hic" Ha! I can find my way through anywhere!

Really?? The other voice in his mind replied.

Yeah! He replied confidently.

Do you know that robbers like to attack people who are drunk? Say, it makes their job easier. Better than to beat up a guy who is alert and ready..

I'll beat them!!

Yeah, in your normal state of mind, but you're drunk.. Anybody can defeat you...

I'll like to see them try!

As if in response to his thinking a sudden blow caught him on his back. "Huh?" He turned around slowly.

No one...

Damm, this sake is making me feel things.

Feel things? Sake makes you see things, hear things, but feel things??

"Shut up you." Kenren muttered to that annoying voice in his head.

Another punch, this time, it was on his shoulder. He turned around again. The sake was making his reaction time slow.

Still no one. Whoever he was, he knew how to blend in the shadows.

Another punch sent him reeling over backwards and on his back. A boot kicked him and he got up ready to fight. The sake was wearing off.

A glint in the moonlight, that could mean two things, that the person was wearing glasses or that he was using a knife. Two glints now, might be both. Kenren dodged one attack, missed one.

"Hey, you tore my shirt." He said in the heat of battle.

"Run.." the figure mumured as he rushed past Kenren, to get to the other's back.

"Why?" Kenren said, spinning around, to give the attacker a blow on his face.

"Just go... I can't stop..."

"Huh?" The voice had a touch of tenderness, of despair, of helplessness...

The attacker lunged, making use of the moment and Kenren fell...knocking his head against a rock, trying to pull out the knife embedded (hopefully-not-too-deep) in his chest. Kenren lost consciousness quickly. The attacker stood over him for a moment, then rushed away, drops of water fell as he did...And then, it started to rain. A piece of paper flew out with the wind.

A/N: That's it. Well review. Go on. Go. I'll try to update real soon, but my mum is acting kinda mean and won't let me use the computer often. I'm lucky to have an hour a month now, last year it was an hour every two days..
