Sadness

Konzen took in a deep breath as he faced the door to his shared room with his pet. 'He will no longer be my pet five years from now…' Konzen could not help but feel the loneness in him, the hollowness which he had when Goku was not around. 'Goku will become a warlord…he will sustain a lot of injuries…and there is nothing I do about this…' Konzen gritted his teeth in anger, his hand grabbed the doorknob hard, his knuckles turning white…but he slowly cooled down and opened to door to face his noisy pet…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Konzen! You are back just as Tenpou said. Ten minutes exactly, wow!" Goku jumped onto Konzen, his innocent, golden orbs stared deeply into Konzen's violet eyes. Konzen carried Goku, mumbling about Goku's weight and the amount of food Goku ate that make it happen.

"Konzen! I am not fat!" Goku pouted and Konzen could feel a smile tugging at the corner of the mouth. Instead, he frowned and dropped Goku onto the floor. "Iitai! What did I do?"

"Urusai! Baka saru!" Konzen took out his infamous, merciless fan and whacked onto Goku's head numerous times. Konzen thought 'I won't be able to do this when Goku grows up to be a warlord…I will miss this…damn…' Suddenly, Konzen noticed that there was a particular glint in Goku's eyes. "Goku…what have you been doing lately, you didn't cause trouble, did you?"

"No…but I want to try something with you. Now…er…can you hold me please…"

"What! No!"

"But Konzeennnn…." Goku flashed Konzen his best innocent look.

"Tsh! Fine, whatever." Konzen mumbled under his breath as he lifted Goku onto his lap. "What now, baka saru…"

He watched in amusement as Goku scrunched up his face in concentration like as if he was trying to remember something. Then suddenly, Goku pulled him forward and he felt a light brush against his lips. Konzen felt like his heart had stopped, his pet was kissing him!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goku did not know why, but he enjoyed what he was doing. He had felt Konzen stiffened a little but he did not care. 'I love you, Konzen, I want to be with you forever, always, and I swear no one will take me away from you…I swear…' Goku knew he would remember this often and he was happy…for he would always be with his master…

Five years later…

Goku looked out sharply, his golden eyes taking in the sights in front of him and not missing out any details. Despite the lack of sunlight, his vision was not affected at all. His hair had grown a little below shoulder length. His body was well-built, due to his constant 'exercise' by fighting the demons. Blood was everywhere; bodies littered the area he stood at. Behind him, he could sense the heaven army. They would not help him at all, Goku knew that well enough…he had that experience for the first time and it was nothing that he could have ever imagined.

"No! Don't take me away from Konzen! I want to be with him! I want-" Goku struggled desperately, reaching out to Konzen but Konzen had simply looked away, and his face was expressionless. Goku screamed out Konzen's name and he saw Konzen flinched slightly. Goku had then felt his world darkened and he had passed out as one of the guards had used a blunt object to hit him over the head. Last thing, he had heard was someone shouting his name…

That day, he was named the new warlord. He had stood before God himself and was forced to be assigned to his first task. That was to destroy the demon which was nicknamed by the humans, 'the death of hell'. This was because that demon had killed millions of weaker demons and humans as well. He ripped their limbs apart, broke their bones, torturing them and enjoyed hearing their death screams. Later, he then devoured them, leaving only the bones with not a single flesh left…

Goku had then faced that demon by himself. He had thought that the heaven army would help him…but he was so wrong that that mistake nearly caused him his life. 'So that was how Nataku lived his life…' Goku had thought that time when he finally passed out from the loss of blood after defeating the terrible demon.

When he had gone back to heaven, he was thrown to his own room. Kenren and Tenpou had found him, wavering between life and death, their expressions were shock and dismayed. If not for them, he would have died already and someone will replace him…

Goku snapped his head up as he could feel the vibrations under him. Soon, he heard the deep, growling sound that erupted into a loud roar which shook the hills even.

This time, he had to fight the worst demon of all, Gyumao…

Goku shifted with ease into his fighting position, his chains moved restlessly. Gradually, the sun rose. Goku took a short glance at the beautiful sun. He thought sadly, 'At least, after I destroy this demon, there will be no other demons that will threaten heaven and Konzen…he will be safe…I will keep him safe…I will do anything for him…just like I told Kenren five years ago…I will do anything…anything at all…'

Goku dashed towards Gyumao…preparing to defeat this demon…
