Change of Face

An unknown, indefinite time in Heaven…

As usual the Goddess of Mercy sits by her lily pond in a state of the deepest concentration…well, not exactly.

"Can Heaven get anymore boring! You'd think that in the last 500 years, a little more than God's birthday celebrations would take place! We all know he's not going to get any younger!"

"Kanzeon Bosatsu, please, have a little more self control and some respect."

"That old man would be too deaf to hear me nonetheless do anything about it," the goddess simply stated.

What was the point in even trying to change her? Everyone in Heaven was used to the never-satisfied-always-craving-for-entertainment goddess.

"Why not, at long last, find a way to help the Sanzo-ikkou reach the west?" Jiroushin suggested hesitantly.

Of course, we all know how much the Goddess of Mercy enjoys seeing the Sanzo-ikkou…'troubled'.

"And risk making my only means of entertainment end sooner? Not just yet…"

"I'd hate to know what she has planned for them." Jiroushin muttered under his breath.


One morning in one of the inns along the way to Tougenkyo…

Our favorite hyper active brunette awoke at the rumble of a stomach.

Goku's POV

"Harahetta!" Hey, what's wrong with my voice? Sounds kinda deep. Am I starting puberty! About time, too. The others are not gonna believe this.

I decided to quit wondering and headed for the bathroom. Paying no attention to the lump on the other bed which I knew was the perverted, horny water monster, Gojyo.

"Gods, I feel really dizzy…"

I wrenched open the door and leaned my groggy self on the sink. Looking up to the mirror I let out a horrified gasp.

"Holy shit!"


Well how was this for an introductory chapter? I know it's not very funny and it was short but I'll try to make it longer and funnier in the other coming chapters. I'd like to know if I should continue this story so please review. If I get this set number of reviews, then I'll continue. Thanks.
