Chapter 106
Genji looked up and up and up at the huge poll of Korin Tower. It stretched up even further than the skyscrapers in Beijing, maybe even taller than any other structure in the world. He smiled.
'And Saki-chan managed to climb up it? Wow. She's very strong...'
Behind him, Trunks, Goten and Piccolo were working out a schedule.
"We'll have to carry the others up." Trunks proposed. "The three of us are the only ones who can fly."
"That's no problem." Goten nodded. "None of them look too heavy....."
"Maybe Momiji. I bet she wheighs a ton and a ha......"
ZZZZZZZZZZZZAP!
"Hey!" Trunks yelped after being punched by an electro-gloved fist.
"Yu wotch ya mouth, Trunksie-boy! I haad enough'a ya smart-arse remaaks!"
"Sorry." Trunks moaned. "Uh, Piccolo, you can carry Momiji up."
Piccolo gave a nod of aknoledgement.
"I'll carry Saki-Kun." Trunks announced. "I deserve to, after all. She's my prom date. So, Goten, you take Ryu."
"Okay." Goten nodded. "Hey, what about Genji?"
"He should stay down here with Yume." Piccolo suggested. "Since we're carrying the wolf up last, he should explain to her what is happening."
"Okay." Trunks nodded. "So, that just leaves Arangami....."
"I'm not going." the ninja shook his head.
Genji turned to him.
**Why not, man?**
"My master will want me by his side soon. He won't be pleased to hear that you're still alive."
Genji completely faced Arangami.
**So, you're leaving?**
"Perhaps."
Genji reached out and shook his hand.
**Thanks for coming with us, Arangami.**
"Sure."
Everyone got ready soon afterward. Piccolo took Momiji in his arms while Trunks and Goten piggy-backed Murasaki and Ryu on thier backs. They took off, straight up into the sky, until they could barely be seen. Genji smiled as he watched them go. Then, he went to Yume to explain what was to happen.

Arangami watched the boy go to his wolf, and he smiled behind his cloth mask.
'Pity I have to leave him. It's very rare to find those like him: a strong soul in a gentle boy.....'
Tempura approached, so Arangami turned to her.
"Is there a nearby village with a phone? I must contact my master."
"The nearest village has a pay-phone." she answered. "Do you need transport there?"
"I'll walk, thank you." Arangami accepted. Then, he turned and walked away. Tempura blinked after him.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to your friend?"
"He's not my friend." Arangami answered. "And I said my goodbyes. Farewell to you, guardian."
Tempura watched him leave until he disapeared into the nearby forest. Although her face was stone still and serious, she was smiling inside her mind.
'There aren't many men like that shinobi. I sence he belongs to an evil man, but his heart is pure. this man wishes no harm to innocent lives. He must respect this Genji boy so......'
