Another Heretic

Chap.2

"Goku, have you heard? There's another person like you here." Tenpou called. Goku shook his head; he had been staring at the moon on his hand. It had been a whole three days since he'd met Kaze, and had not seen him since.

"Not till you told me, Ten-chan."

"Saru, you're a little off. Something wrong?" Kenren wondered. Goku shook his head.

Suddenly, the room grew dark and a green tornado of wind appeared in the center of the room, a golden light within it. The light faded, and, gradually, the tornado dispersed and Kaze stood in the middle of the room, and the light returned. He seemed a little dirty, but compared to his skin color, it simply looked like he had a few tan spots, rather than a few dirt smudges.

"K-Kaze, you show-off!" Goku pointed to the boy, laughing. Kaze laughed.

"Yeah, that's what the people on Earth called me." He grinned. Goku quieted down a bit; he could see now how tall Kaze was, and truth be told, he was about two or three good inches taller than Goku.

"Goku, it's the other heretic." Tenpou exclaimed quietly, not in the mood to disturb the green haired boy. Kaze turned to stare at the marshal, a quiet, almost look of adoration, passed on his face.

"You must be marshal Tenpou." He commented quietly.

"Kaze, are you going to stay with me an' Konzen? Are ya?" Goku pushed the boy for an answer. Kaze was quiet for a moment and grinned. This answer made Goku cheer and cling to Kaze like a real monkey.

"Uh….Kazi, I don't think Konzen would really like you staying with him." Tenpou said, guessing at the boy's name from what he'd heard.

"It's Kaze, and I don't really care. I can convince anyone of anything, be he man or be he god." Kaze smiled. It was an intelligent smile that Tenpou had never seen on the face of someone so young. Come to think, he'd never seen one so young be so polite or quiet. For a moment, Tenpou thought the boy would be just like Goku.

"Kaze, what were you born of?" Tenpou realized the question sounded rude, but it was out of his mouth before he could stop.

"..The wind." Kaze replied calmly and followed Goku down the hall to Konzen's room.

Back at the room……

Konzen stared at Kaze, glaring at the earth heretic for bringing another brat his way. As if reading the god's mind, Kaze blurted out a fast,

"Konzen, please don't think of me as a brat! I'm sorry if this is a little sudden but Goku offered, and…look, if it'll help, I can do chores, and I'm really fast, and can do tons of stuff if you want me to." Kaze's sudden reaction stunned Konzen. "I had a pretty good handle on the logistics of heaven and its government, so if you want, I can even do some paperwork."

"Goku, who is this kid again?" Konzen turned to Goku.

"He's a kid like me! They say he's a heretic, but Kaze's really cool!" Goku cheered. Kaze stared as the god stood up and towered over Goku.

"Konzen-sama, I believe it would be quite immature for even you to lose your temper like a child merely to hit Goku, when in fact he has done nothing deserving of punishment." Kaze interrupted. Instead of hitting Goku, like he had actually planned to, Konzen glared at Kaze and hit the boy's head with all his might, the fist landing with a sharp,

THUD!

Kaze stared up at Konzen; he wasn't even rubbing his head. He simply patted his head once to feel how big the bump was, and finding it not incredibly large, hopped over to Konzen's desk, and waved a hand, and a gust of wind blew all the papers into an actual order.

Konzen also notice that the gust of wind had blown the books off his shelf and put them back in alphabetical order, and blown all pieces of scrap paper into the trash can, and even dusted the bookshelves and swept the floor. He aimed a thoughtful glare at the boy. Perhaps Kaze could be useful after all.
