Goku…
"Damn it! Goku…he is taking too long!" Kenren growled aloud as he paced to and fro in front of the heaven's gate that lead to the human world.
"Don't worry, Kenren…I will heal him the moment he appears…" Tenpou comforted Kenren as he tried to smile convincingly.
"And that stupid, dumb-ass, Konzen…He did not even went to see Goku when Goku was seriously injured! He merely shrugged when I informed him that Goku nearly died from his multiple injuries from the most recent battle! Oh god! I feel like struggling him!" Kenren yelled as he punched the air.
"Maybe…"
"What, Tenpou…"
"Maybe Konzen has a reason for this…"
"A reason! Pu-lease, open your eyes, can't you see Konzen does not even care for Goku, he is ignoring Goku even! When Goku had to address Konzen as 'sir', Goku had gone into depression after his first battle!"
"Yes…but think, Kenren, Konzen never acts without thinking of the consequences…and I am sure he cares for Goku…there must be a reason…there got to be…" Tenpou said softly as they continued waiting for Goku to come back….
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konzen stepped back behind the tree. He had heard what Kenren and Tenpou had said. 'Tenpou…how right you are for having a reason…' Konzen thought as he began walking away. He wanted to wait for Goku actually but then…he could not be seen here, otherwise, Goku will get in trouble. 'Tenpou…I leave you to take care of Goku for me…I love him dearly…but…I have no choice….'
Konzen slipped silently back into the study room when…
"So…we meet again…" Konzen froze as he heard the voice. It sounded familiar… 'It couldn't be him.' Konzen thought with growing dread. He turned his head slowly and his eyes widened with shock…it was…him…he had finally been let out…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goku panted heavily, blood dripped from his chin. His right arm was broken and so are a few of his ribs. His head had a deep gash. Goku felt like he could barely stand up. His legs were badly scratched and his clothes were torn. Goku gritted his teeth against the excruciating pain he felt all over his body. 'At least I have defeated Gyumao…Konzen will then be…safe…I must go back to heaven…' Goku forced himself to straighten up and bit back a scream, drawing blood from his lips. Slowly, painfully, he staggered past the heaven army who watched him with no sympathy and up back to heaven.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tenpou's eyes widened at the horrible sight of Goku. Kenren stopped pacing and rushed forward, supporting Goku just as Goku fell forward.
"Baka saru…have a hold on yourself, Tenpou will heal you…" Kenren soothingly murmured to Goku as he laid Goku gently onto the ground.
Tenpou quickly began his task, using up the stored energy he saved for Goku. Later, most of Goku's wounds were healed. The ribs and Goku's right arm, however, still required a lot of rest for them to heal properly. Tenpou took in a shaky breath as he wiped his sweaty forehead. "This is the best I can do for him, Kenren…" Tenpou readjusted his spectacles.
Goku smiled weakly at Tenpou and whispered, "Thank you…"

Konzen faced the man he despised most. "What do you want…Homura…" Konzen hissed. Homura smiled lazily, swinging his sword onto his shoulder. "Well…that depends…don't you think so? I want to be the warlord…not many would want that title but I love it…to fight with the demons…and even kill helpless humans if I want…control the heaven army…if I want to…but alas, I have observed that little boy grow up and the change he brought onto you, you are one lucky fellow, aren't you, Konzen. So I thought of something…" Homura dragged Konzen's name.
Konzen felt that there was going to be trouble. "What are you planning to do…Homura…"
"Oh…let's say…I want to repay my revenge and the cause of it which happens to be you…you do remember, right?" Homura stared hard at Konzen.
Konzen remembered…it was like only yesterday…
"Please…I beg you, don't tell the Gods that I love her…you can do whatever you want with me but please…I beg you, Konzen, don't tell the other Gods!"
"I can't…I'm sorry…but they already know about this issue…I didn't-"
"They know! You told them, didn't you! YOU TOLD THEM! I'll kill you!" Homura was about to latch himself onto Konzen when…
"You are to come with me now! God wants to see you. You will have your punishment and so will the woman you love. If you harm Konzen, I will kill her and I have the right." The guard had threatened him by bringing a knife closer to her throat.
"No! Ok! Ok! I will follow you…please don't hurt her…" Homura had quickly followed the guard but as he left, he had turned to Konzen and mouthed the words, "I will cause you misery…I swear!"
Konzen glared back at Homura. "I have not told the other Gods, Homura, you know that well enough…"
"Maybe I do or maybe I don't but it doesn't matter anyway…because I shall be going now…" Homura flashed him a cold smile before he went out of the room…
Konzen stared at the closed door, something was not right…but what?
