Sorry to disappoint some of you fellow readers/authors, but as I have said I really lack information in the TV series. I know that Goku had a fight with Ririn's brother, but what I don't know is if Kougaiji have told or Ririn already knows about the fight or I'm just a dumbass for not knowing that fact. Yes, chapter 2 can be out of track. I just included it to let you know what happened to the others after Goku collapsed. Thanks again for the reviews. Can't really say if this chapter would make up for the last one.

Note: Maybe some of the part of the story may contradict to some of your beliefs about souls, heaven, etc... and those of you who would be wondering where I get the idea of something that doesn't exist in the TV series please understand it's just my idea.

Chapter 3: Heaven

Goku is still unconscious. His friends doesn't know what he was experiencing while he's asleep, worse even, he himself don't know what had happened to him.

Goku found himself in front of a big open gate. There was a garden full of cherry blossoms on the other side. He didn't know where he is and what he was doing there. So he decided to search for Sanzo and the others.

"SANZO!....HAKKAI!.....GOJYO!.... SANZO!....." He was shouting at the top of his lungs, but no one answered him. Then all of a sudden an old man appeared in front of him.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Goku innocently pointed at the old man.

"I'm Jiroushin. My master wants to see you in her office. Kindly follow me." Jiroushin turned sharply and head on. Goku quickly follow and went beside the old man.

"Hey mister, where am I anyway?" Goku looked at Jiroushin with eyes wide open.

"You're in heaven." Answered back Jiroushin without even looking at Goku.

"Heaven?" Goku silently whispered to himself.

Goku looked around the beautiful and peaceful place while following Jiroushin. People there seemed full of pride especially when they are walking head high. They didn't even notice or even bother to look at him they just look straight ahead and quietly walked.

"Here we are." Jiroushin lead him inside. They went inside and pass through office. Straight-ahead was a pond or pool full of water lilies. A lady on a white dress was siting alone and watching the water. The woman slowly turned her head to see who's coming.

"You're late... Son Goku." The lady smiled and stood up and went in front of Goku.

"Nani (what?)?" Goku was confused at what the lady's talking about.

"Maybe you don't remember me, I'm Kanzeon Bosatsu- Goddess of Mercy."

" Excuse, can you tell me why I'm here?" Goku looked up the tall lady.

"Well, don't worry you'll be back soon with Sanzo and the others. I'll just let you stay here for a while, to teach that baka nephew of mine. While you're staying here, feel free to do whatever you want to do " Kanzeon turned her back and went back to her seat. "JIROUSHIN...Take care of Goku while he's still here and watch him carefully."

Goku started roaming around the office while Jiroushin was always behind him. Goku was a little annoyed being followed by an old man all the time. So he decided to trick Jiroushin to leave him alone.

Goku turned his head and shouted. "HEY MISTER! I think I heard the Goddess of mercy calling you."

"I'm too old for old tricks. I wouldn't fall for that." Jiroushin felt proud for his wits.

Immediately Goku started running fast." Yeah mister your too old .....be- da! (gesture of contempt.)"

"Kuso!( S#!+) come back here." The old man ran after Goku, but can't cope up.

Goku went inside a dark room.

"Yatta! (I did it), That old man started to bug me." Goku looked at the place and saw a person sited quietly in a chair. Goku slowly approached the person and was surprised to see it's a boy.

The boy seemed lifeless and had a sad expression.

"Goku!" A familiar voice suddenly heard at his back.

"Yabai.(Uh-oh)" Goku turn his head slowly afraid to see who caught him.

It was Kanzeon; she bent over slightly and whispered something to Goku. "Goku, do you remember him?"

Goku stared at the young man seated. "Masaka(It can't be)........ You have a son?"

"Baka!" She hit Goku's head. " He's not my son!" She crossed her arms and can't believe what she has heard. "He is Nataku, the killing puppet of the gods."

"Uso!(lie)... how can the gods do that to him?"

"Well there are things you don't know. Kuru!(Come) let's leave this room."

Goku feels sorry for Nataku being so lifeless. Kanzeon led him to his room to rest.

"This would be you room, until you come back." Kanzeon left Goku seated at the corner of the bed. Goku remembered the boy's face, he felt very sad for him, being lonely. In Kanzeon's office, She and Jiroushin were having a conversation about Goku.

"I expected this would happen. You can't watch Goku all day; he will just escape from you again. Maybe we should leave him alone."

"But what if he cause trouble?" Jiroushin defended.

"Shikata ga nai ( No way to avoid it) He'll just cause trouble even though you watch him carefully."

"But..."

"Don't worry, He just need to learn things by himself, we'll help him out if he needs our help."

It was already midnight. Goku suddenly had a dream about the boy, Nataku. Nataku was laughing with him and they are having fun. Suddenly the dream changed He saw Nataku walking down the aisle with the other soldiers.

"Nataku!......Nataku!.......Nataku!" He called trying to get the attention of the boy. Luckily Nataku looked at him and smiled, but a god behind Nataku tapped him on his shoulder, so he tend to ignore Goku.

"Nataku...." Goku whispered sadly.

Goku woke up from his dream. "Masaka, maybe I'm just hungry. I haven't eaten since I got here."

Goku wandered around the place to find the kitchen, if they have one. It was taking a long time to look for the kitchen so he decided to go to the garden to find fruits to eat. Goku got farther and farther away from the place he was once been. Fortunately he found a tree with fruits in it. The fruits are a little weird in shape, but as long as he knows it's edible he would eat it. He grabbed as many fruits as he can in order to overcome his hunger. He was full after he ate almost all the fruits of the tree. When he was about to go back, he found a huge place full of mirrors. He looked in one of the mirror and saw a reflection of someone he didn't know. It was like seeing a movie. Goku looked and looked at every mirror. He was quite entertained in every mirror he looked at. Then suddenly in one of the mirrors he found someone familiar. Goku looked at the mirror closely, He saw a young boy picking up red flowers in a meadow.

In the palace, Jiroushin checked on Goku if he is asleep, but when he entered the room Goku wasn't there. He hurriedly went to Kanzeon's room, but she wasn't in her room either. So he went to look for her in the pool full of water lilies. Kanzeon was sitting there motionless.

"What is it Jiroushin? Why are you in a hurry?" Kanzeon said trying to tease his servant.

"Goku is not in his room!" Jiroushin said panting.

"I know"

"Nani?"

"I know where he is now. He is in the place where we put peoples past."

"But what if he went inside one of them? And ruin other peoples lives, this would be a disaster" Jiroushin was cramming and don't know what to say anymore while Kanzeon was still sitting, like she doesn't care whatever happens.

"Baka Jiroushin, You're so nervous. He wouldn't be interested in other peoples' past, so don't worry."

"What about his companions?"

"We'll that's what I'm waiting for...........This would be entertaining." Kanzeon said smiling.
