I made it kinda obvious who the mystery man was anyways...so here it is.


"It can't be...there's...no way...how is this...possible?"

"Kail...it's..."

"Kenren...Kenren Taishou..."

==============================

"How...how did you get here?"

"I've been sleeping inside a friend."

"You mean...Gojyo?"

"Mm...I've managed to take over Gojyo's body after all these years. After that concussion of his, I've been unsealed." Kenren pulled a chair and took a sip from the cup in front of him.

"If you've taken over Gojyo's body? What happened to Gojyo? Is he sealed now?" Kail asked worriedly.

"No, don't worry, that idiot is asleep. Once he wakes up, he'll be able to see what I see, hear what I hear. If he knows how to, he can regain control."

They all took a deep breath, and tried to make sense of things one at a time.

"And this goes the same for Sanzo...is it? And...Hakkai? Gomen, I haven't properly introduced myself, I am Kenren. General of Heaven's Western Army...well, used to be."

"Excuse me...sorry but I'm confused, Gojyo is your reincarnation?"

"Exactly, reincarnation is more complicated than you think."

"So, do you mean this...Tenpou I've been hearing about is sealed inside of me? And he can take control of my body?"

"Mm...it was easy for me to take control though; Gojyo's mind is really weak at the moment. When I was sealed, I could've fought to get out, but then you'd go through sudden fits and images and all these other complications that I don't have time for. Luckily for me Gojyo here had a concussion."

Hakkai looked at Sanzo and they recalled what had happened to them before, fits, flashes and headaches.

'Does that mean...this whole thing about us being Gods, 500 years ago...is true?'

"Now, who's missing from this picture...? Ah Goku! Where's that little saru?"

"He went out, he hasn't come back yet and all this food's getting cold..." Hakkai was worried as he looked at the table, still filled with plenty of dishes made specially to suit Goku's appetite.

"Mm...he looked pretty upset." Fei noted as he sat back down. Kenren looked over to Sanzo, hoping to get some answers, as he was Goku's caretaker. Sanzo ignored him and looked away.

"You, you're Sanzo, right? Did you say something to him?"

"Nani?"

"From the memories that Gojyo has, I remember that there were several times where Goku ran off because of you. What did you do this time?"

"That's none of your business."

"If you were Konzen, you would be looking for him no matter how annoying he is! I can't believe you're his reincarnation!"

Sanzo was surprised at his tone; normally Gojyo wouldn't be as concerned and worried about Goku, Kenren was different.

"Cheh...I'm going to look for him, who knows what trouble he's getting into."

"But Kenren Taishou..."

"I'll be fine Kail." Kenren stormed out and gave a last glare towards Sanzo who found it temporarily disturbing.

==============================

Goku sat on a rock by the riverbanks in a cold, foggy wood. He had been there ever since Sanzo snapped at him. He had been crying a lot and didn't know how to stop. He looked into the palms of his hands and scorned them for having hurt Konzen...or Sanzo...

'Why does he call himself Sanzo? He's Konzen...isn't he? Why don't we live in Heaven anymore, with Ten-chan and Ken-niichan, like before? Why is he so cold towards me...why? Doesn't he like me anymore?'

Water fell onto his hands and Goku looked up, it started to shower and then, he saw blurred images in front of him above the river. He wiped the tears away and the images became clearer. It was two faded people; a man and a woman were walking on water.

"Who...who's there? Sh- Show yourselves!" Goku stood up and took a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid, Son Goku." The man began.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Goku could finally see their faces clearly, but didn't know who they were.

"Don't you remember me?"

Goku just stared, confused, almost wanting to run away.

"It's OK Goku-chan; we're not going to hurt you." The woman assured.

"How do you know my name? I don't know who you are..."

"Oh, but you do know me. It's just that you don't remember. Rinrei, give it to him."

"Hai."

The woman walked slowly on the water towards Goku and reached her hand out to touch his forehead, but Goku pushed her hand away.

"Stop it! What are you doing?"

"Relax Goku-chan; I'm not going to hurt you ok? I promise."

'Is she going to take off my headband? What is she going to do to me?'

"Relax...it won't hurt."

'What won't hurt?! What's going on?!'

"Get away from me!"

Ignoring what Goku said, Rinrei gently placed her fingers on Goku's limiter and a golden dust came from her hands and flowed into his head. Goku gazed at their beauty and her smile calmed him down.

Soon he felt dizzy and fell unconscious, but Rinrei was there to catch him and let him rest.


I hate the fact that I make things sadly obvious...reviews would be greatly appreciated, I feel rejected :(
