I haven't read Gaiden in such detail, so I don't know if Litouten died or lived or whatever happened to this loser...so in my fanfic he's still around ok? Also, sorry if I update late . I try my best. Also, sorry if I update late... I try my best. PS, my usual scene change line thingies don't work for some reason, so I replaced with 8s.
"Stop it Homura!" Goku tried to push Homura away, but his hands just went through him, typical for a spirit.
"Goku, there is no use to resist, you cannot harm me and I intend to get this over with."
"But Nataku...NO!" Goku ran off deep into the dense woods and hid himself, hoping to get away from Homura.
"Come back Goku, I'll have to do this no matter what. I have to do it now! I only have a few more minutes left before my summon expires, I'm dead remember?!."
"You can't! You don't understand! Nataku...in the past Nataku...I have to save him Homura! If you take away my memories, I won't remember to!" Goku ran further and further away, but there was no escape from Homura's sight.
As he watched Goku run, he sighed and raised his arm to shoulder height, closed his eyes and emitted a yellow glow from his hand. Goku, unaware of what he was doing, was all of a sudden lifted and pinned to a tree. Homura appeared out of no where and stood in front of Goku, who unable to break away from Homura's powers.
"Why? Why do you have to do this?!"
"I have no choice; it was a strict order from Kanzeon Bosatsu. She had called upon me specially, that is why I'm here. I only have a few more minutes left before my summon will expire, now relax Son Goku!"
"Why...why does she have to interfere now? Of all times!"
Just as Homura was about to concentrate and begin the spell that would seal all of Goku's unwanted memories, all around them, soldiers of Heaven had begun to appear. Dozens upon dozens. Then lastly, the assassin from before had stepped to the side of the immobile Goku.
"So...we meet again, but it's a shame that I won't be fighting you this time." The assassin punched Goku hard in the face, and this was enough to knock him out of Homura's control and push him off the tree and make him fall to his knees. "Well, not much..."
"Homura..." Goku wiped his mouth and pleaded for Homura's help, but he couldn't do anything, for he was fading because his time was running out.
"Be strong...Son Goku, even though we both know you are going to lose this battle." And with that Homura disappeared and the assassin smiled as he calmly raised his hand and gave an order for all of the soldiers to beat the crap out of the helpless Son Goku.

Litouten walked towards a room, heavily guarded by 10 of the strongest and most reliable men in heaven. He opened the door; rays of light entered a sinister and lonely room and lit up specs of dust. As the door swung all the way open, the light showed the only sign of life.
Chained to the wall, was Nataku, who had endured hours of torture. He went through too much and could hardly open his eyes or even move.
"Nataku...Taishi. Welcome back."
"Wh...at...do you...wan...t...now?"
"I've heard that you're not willing to co-operate with me and follow my orders, well...then you'd have to lose a friend..."
"What?"
"You know who I'm talking about."
"Goku...what did you do to him?!"
"Nothing, yet...but if you refuse any orders from now, he will get hurt."
"How do I-..."
"Know I'm telling the truth? Well, see for yourself." Litouten snapped his fingers and two soldiers came in with Goku secure in chains at every place they could put them on.
"Uuughh..." Goku hung limply between the two guards that held is arms, he tried his best to open his golden eyes and see Nataku, but his efforts were wasted as the guards took him back out.
"We wouldn't be in this predicament if you hadn't followed my orders in the very beginning, do as I say or he'll have to suffer."
"Fine...but you can't lay a-..."
"Ja, Nataku...Taishi...I'll give you time to think it over." Litouten exited with arrogance and confidence written all over his face, he slammed the door behind him leaving Nataku back in the dark.
"Litouten! Matte!! GOKUUU!!! Go...ku..."

Moments later, Litouten came into the cell again. He had with him a bottle of elixir, fresh clothes and bandages and handed them over the closest guard and told him to take care of it for a while.
"Now, do we have a deal? Nataku...Taishi?"
"Hai..." Nataku said as he clenched his teeth, he couldn't believe that he was back under Litouten's command, the command that he tried to avoid from the very start.
"Good...I will take you out now and send you to prepare, because in 2 hours, you will be going on your first mission for me."
"So soon?!"
"Yes, do you have any objections?" Litouten smirked.
"No..."
"Good. You will be given an elixir; it will regain your strength and energy fully so you shouldn't have any problems fighting."
"What about my wounds? I need time to heal don't I?"
"No you don't." he harshly added. Litouten turned away from Nataku and ordered the men outside to release him and get him ready.
"Litouten!"
"Oh I forgot Nataku; you can call me father again. Now what is it?"
"What are you making me do...father?" Nataku felt sick saying it, but he had no choice, everything he was doing from now on had to be done for Goku's safety.
"You will have to finish a job that should have ended all those years ago. Go to the west, and subdue King Gyumao completely, destroy everything and everyone. I believe that the efforts of Sanzo-ikkou are slow and it is tiring just waiting for the day of Gyumao's resurrection. By doing this, the decision to use you again will be recognized by the emperor, and I will be back on top. Good luck, I'm counting on you"
Litouten left with a smile on his face and Nataku looked at him with disgust. Men came in and unchained him and lead him to his old room.

"Kail, its 3am! Where have you been?"
The Nerneks came back to the inn and gathered in Sanzo's room. Kenren and Hakkai were still watching over Sanzo, who was now in Konzen's form, but was showing signs that he would wake up anytime soon.
"We've been looking for Goku sir."
"Hmmm...where could he be? That baka..."
'He has been captured.'
"Huh?"
Kanzeon Bosatsu descended into the room and stood at the side of Konzen's bed. Kanzeon looked at all of them and how beat they were and sighed.
"I left you for only a while and this is how things turn out? And look at him," she looked over to Konzen and shook her head. Hakkai laughed lightly and but Kenren still sat cross legged and watched her.
"So are you gonna help us or not, Kanzeon."
"Sort of." Kanzeon placed her hand gently on Konzen's forehead and waited, and then suddenly Kanzeon's eyes shot open and he sat up to find everyone in the room looking at him.
"Finally...I thought I'd never get out of that baka's head. Sanzo can be so stubborn."
"So are you, my lovely nephew."
"You old hag! What are you doing here?!"
"Helping you, what do you think? Be more appreciative next time."
"Ch...who asked for your help?!"
"You haven't changed...how boring..."
"Urusai!"
"Now, let's get serious. Goku got captured a few hours ago, he's being held for Nataku's co-operation."
"Goku's in Heaven?" Hakkai, being his usual self, worried and found that things were getting way out of hand.
"So you guys should be on your way up there, it's a good thing that Kenren and Konzen came out. Goku is being kept under the east wing, specially built to hold him."
"But, what about Nataku?"
"Don't worry about him. Once he knows Goku is safe, he'll be able to find his way out."
"Thank you, Kanzeon Bosatsu."
"Don't mention it Kail, I'll have to be going now, I want to get a good seat." Kanzeon turned back to Konzen and smiled, "work hard." Kanzeon disappeared, leaving Konzen looking at everyone.
"Let's go."
I hope that was good enough for everyone, and I hope you don't mind my writing style. Also, their will be a few more chapters, and that's it...='( though they will all be long ones. Until next time...
