Rie : Hello, this's Rie again! I'm here to update the third chapter!
Goku : Wow! That was fast! You sure finished you work faster that usual! (looks a little surprise)
Rie : That's because I want to continue the story so bad, that's why. But still, I'm in the middle of my English training, so I'm sorry for any mistakes in the story. (^-^)
Anyway, where's the other?
Goku : Oh! They're still busy, so they said we could start the story without them.
Rie : Too bad... Well, anyway! I did 'NOT' own Saiyuki, neither it's character or the story. If I own it, I'll make Goku mine for sure...
Goku : Wha-? (blushing)
Konzen & Sanzo : WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?! (appear from nowhere)
Rie : EEEEKKK!!! I'M SORRY, I'M JUST KIDDING!! SOMEONE, HELP MEEEEE!!!
Goku : Um... Enjoy the story!
Chapter 3
Konzen still didn't believe what he heard just now. Goku saw right to his eyes, trembled as tried to escape from the blond God hands. Tenpou and Kenren looked at each other with a kind of disbelieve eyes. Sanzo, Hakkai, and Gojyo didn't understand the situation too much, just stood on their places in silence.
"Let... Let me go!" Goku said as ran from Konzen to Sanzo-ikkou side.
"Goku? Goku, what's wrong with you?" Konzen asked in shock.
"Hey, Chibi Monkey. What happened to you? Well, it's true that it has been 500 years since then, but it doesn't mean you can forget us that easily, right?" Kenren said, tapped his gun to his shoulder.
"Hey, Goku..."
"NO!" Goku slapped Tenpou's hand that tried to touch him.
"Stop. I don't like if you touch my pet like that," Sanzo said with his usual cold voice, pointed Tenpou with his gun.
"P-pet?!" Konzen surprised. "How dare you call him your PET?! He's mine and I don't like if you call him like that!! Goku, please, come back with us! I promise I won't leave you alone anymore! Please...!"
"He isn't yours!"
"And who are you to judge it like that?!"
"Maa, maa... Guys, you better stop fighting. We already attract a lot of attention, so it's so much better if you...," Tenpou and Hakkai said with the same tone.
"Not my fault!" Sanzo and Konzen shouted. "He's the one! You! Stop saying what I'm saying!!"
"They just like some sort of brat," Gojyo said.
"Yeah, guess you're right," Kenren gave his comment.
"I can't believe! How can possibly Goku be with this kind of people?! Or maybe...?! You kidnap him?!" Konzen pointed at Sanzo.
"What's the advantage for me to do so?!"
"There are a lot of advantages for you!!"
"Like what?! He's just a stupid brat with a big appetite!"
"Hey, I'm not stupid!... Well, I think," Goku protested, stood with his eyes on fire.
"Leave us or die, You Imposter!!" Sanzo started his role again in this 'Mouth War'.
"I'm not an IMPOSTER, You Dropped Eye Monk!"
"Huh? You're not an imposter? Not some double replica of us?" Hakkai asked, at least realized the mistaken chaos.
"What make you think of that?" Kenren asked.
"Well, you see... Sanzo, could you please stop fighting with that person for 5 minutes? Please?" Gojyo sighed and grabbed Sanzo's sleeve, dragged him further from Konzen.
"Thank you, Gojyo," Hakkai continued. "Well, you see, it has been going for almost 1 month. Our imposters just popped out from nowhere and kept attacking us. We thought that you were one of them. So... you're not?"
"Of course not...," Konzen answered flatly.
"I'm so sorry for the miss understanding. But still, there is something else that I want to ask you. And this is a lot more important..."
"What is it?" Tenpou asked.
"What is your business with Goku?" Sanzo asked, wore his spooky expression.
"Maybe the one who should ask is us. Who are you and what are you doing with Goku?" Konzen asked, looked angry and pissed.
"Er... How about we talk about this in our room? This place is a little... crowded now. If you know what I mean...," people came out from their room because the commotion that Sanzo-ikkou and the Gods made before. The room looked pretty messed up as well, especially with some bullet holes on the floor. "And please, no violence or attacking."
"Sure," the Gods said.
Gojyo, still kept his eyes on Sanzo, guiding the Gods to their room. Hakkai, in other hand, met the inn keeper and begged sorry for the commotion. The inn keeper smiled at him and said everything was alright. So, Hakkai took his leave and went to the room with Goku. Goku didn't want to stay to close with Sanzo now, and Gojyo looked like he was too busy with the corrupt monk. And he didn't need to think twice to stay as far as possible from 3 men that came to him before. Because of that, Hakkai was the one he chose.
Two last members entered the room. Goku took his bed to sit and besides him Hakkai landed his lower part. Even the sudden chaos had over, the aura still hadn't chance. The green eyed man was the one that started the conversation while the other kept their mouth shut tight.
"So... Let's begin with the introduction. My name is Cho Hakkai. This is Sha Gojyo, and the one there is Genjo Sanzo. And I think you already know our youngest member, Son Goku."
"Of course I know him. After all, I was the one who gave him that name."
"I'm sorry?" Hakkai asked, a little confused.
"I'm sorry. He just a little pissed right now. My name is Tenpou, that is Kenren, and he's Konzen."
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Let's just get straight to business. Why are you come here in the first place?" Gojyo asked, lighted up his cancer stick and stucked it in his mouth.
"We come here to take our friend there," Kenren pointed at Goku.
"Me?" Goku pointed him self with a clueless face. "How come? I don't even know you!"
"Stop joking, Goku. C'mon, I'm starting to get tired here. Let's just get back to the heaven and have picnic together again."
"What make you think I'm joking?"
"You not?" Konzen asked, disbelieve.
"Why would I?"
"Goku, are you serious? You really... don't remember us?" Goku shook his head. Konzen stood up and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Tenpou asked.
"To heaven, meet that lusty aunt, and get some explanation."
"Wow, wow, wow! Hey, calm down a little, Konzen! Just back to your seat, sit nicely there, and we continue our conversation. Okay? You don't want to die twice, do you?" Kenren said, dragged Konzen back to his chair.
"Now, um... Goku, do you really don't have any clue about who we are?" Tenpou asked Goku, who shook his head. "You really don't remember about what happened 500 years ago? Us? Li Touten? And... even Nataku?"
"Who's that?"
Konzen stood up again, but now walked to Goku side and kneeled in front of him. "Goku... you really... don't remember me?"
"I'm sorry, but... no."
"What happened to you? What happened in this 500 years? Please, tell me..."
"... I-I was trapped in Moutain Gogyo for 500 years without my memories, just alone. And then, Sanzo came and rescued me. After that, I lived in the temple with Sanzo and the other monk. Then, I met Gojyo and Hakkai and..."
"What happened to your memories?" Kenren asked. "You didn't hit your head somewhere, did you? Need me to beat you once more so you can remember?"
"No, thanks. And about my memories, when I woke up in the stone jail, there was none any of it but my name. So... I didn't know."
"This must be one of than Bastard Kanzeon work! I need to make her give Goku's memories back!" Konzen walked to the door with a 'Ready-for-War' aura.
"Huh? Have I heard that name before? Kanzeon... Kanzeon... You mean Kanzeon Bosatsu, that old hag?" Gojyo asked, pressed his index finger to his lower lips.
"Who else?!"
"Hey, to think about it... I have a feeling that I've heard your name somewhere before. Konzen, Kenren, Tenpou...," Hakkai thought hard about it.
"Isn't that what Homura used to called us?"
"Hey, that's right! I remember now! Homura called Sanzo as Konzen, Gojyo as Kenren, and me as Tenpou. Only Goku was called Goku by him."
"So... what's the point?" Sanzo lost every point in the conversation.
"Homura? I think I've heard that name before...," Konzen stopped and tried to remember something. "Homura... Like Homura Taishi?"
"The one... Nataku's successor?" Tenpou said.
"Now you mention it, I think you said something about The Merciful God and you seem to know The War God. And your name is familiar as well. May I ask you... what is your connection with us?"
"Let me make something clear," Kenren stepped front. "We just barely know you guys 10 minutes ago, and we really didn't know anything about you. Except Son Goku, of course."
"But Homura called us with your name. There must be some sort of connection," Gojyo said.
"Gojyo, this's only my feeling, or you a little active and smart in our conversation now than usual?" The spectacle man spoke.
"Who are you and what did you do to the real Gojyo?" Sanzo pointed his Smith & Wesson to Gojyo's head.
"Hey, hey, hey! If I'm shut still you're angry, if I'm active you're pissed! How am I supposed to act, then?!"
"Ok, he's Gojyo."
"Konzen... do you think they...? You know, it has been 500 years after all."
"What are you trying to say, Tenpou?"
"It's just... There might be a possibility that they are our... reincarnation," Konzen and Kenren raised an eyebrow. "And we've died too. So, that's not impossible."
"You twit. How could we become your reincarnation when you're standing here, in front of us?" Sanzo started to get pissed.
"Let me explain this. Where should I start...? So, this is the thing. We were... Goku's friends from 500 years ago."
"And you think I'm going to fall for that?"
"Yes...? And no. But it's the truth. We were lived in heaven together. But then, something happened and we chose to help Goku to ran from that place to the Earth. I and Kenren died to protected Goku and Konzen to reach the Heavens Gate. Still, someone name Li Touten came in the wrong time and managed to stop them. Konzen died and Goku failed to ran. He had been locked in until someone released him from there. And that's the end of the story. Any question?"
"Who is that Li Touten?" Hakkai asked.
"Are you running out of mind?" Gojyo smirked.
"Stop talking nonsense," Sanzo said.
"Can we eat now?" Goku raised his hand.
"... I think I can answer the first question...," Tenpou laughed awkwardly. "Li Touten... is Nataku Taishi's father. He's the one who killed us 500 years ago and gave Goku much trouble to escape. He died when the Center Building in Palace collapsed," and then, the long black haired man finished explaining. "Any other question?"
"When will the three of you leave us in peace?" Sanzo asked icily.
"After we get Goku to go back with us, of course," Konzen answered coldly.
"Not in a thousand years."
"What make you sure about that?"
"Sanzo, you really need to calm for while. You can't just fight with someone you just met, can you?" Hakkai smiled gently, and Sanzo responded him with a growl. "And about you three...," he turned his face to 3 kamis. "I'm really sorry, but we can't let you take Goku from us. We have an important mission to attend, I hope you understand."
"No, I don't. And I don't see why I must."
"Konzen, mind your temper," Tenpou reminded.
"I won't give up," Konzen said. "Goku is ours, and I won't leave until he go back with us."
"If that's the case, I think you need to come with us and wait until we finish our journey."
"How long is that?" Kenren seemed curious.
"Don't know. Maybe a year... 2 years... 5?"
"You've got to be kidding me... That's so LONG!!!"
"Be patient then, please," Hakkai smiled at him.
"Anyway, I understand that Hakkai want Goku to stay with us. I too, want him to stay, since he's the only one that can help me to get some fun and fight. But... what makes you want him, Bouzu? If I recall correctly, you always barked at him and wished him to disappeared," Gojyo recalled.
"You... WHAT?!" Konzen seemed surprise. "What did you say?! You want GOKU to DISAPPEAR?! HOW COULD... HOW DARE YOU?!"
"THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS!!"
"THAT'S MY BUSSINESS!!"
"Enough!!"
Goku yelled at both of his Master. His face looked a bit sour, but there was a slight of worry and confused mixed on it. He stood up and pointed at the blond men in front of him. Then, he stated with a loud voice.
"I'm not a thing, so stop saying anything weird like that!!"
"Of course you're not a thing!!" Konzen said.
"Yeah, you're my pet!" Sanzo folded his arms and responded.
"What?! OF COURSE he's NOT!!"
"OF COURSE HE IS!!"
"HE'S NOT!"
"HE IS!!"
"STOP IT RIGHT AWAY!!!" Hakkai screamed and bragged his hand to the wooden table. Sanzo and Konzen stopped due to shock. "Sorry for being rude, but please, I ask you to leave us in peace."
"I won't leave until I get Goku with me!" Konzen kept on his opinion.
"You won't get him! NEVER! FOREVER!!!" Sanzo barked at the blond.
"I don't think so..."
Konzen placed a smirk over his cold face and then grabbed Goku's arm. Goku blinked a few times, unknown about what was going to happen. And then, suddenly, the long blond haired man pulled him to his side and dragged him to the door. The monkey yelled in surprised and struggled. Tenpou and Kenren did nothing but stared at each other, but then followed their member.
Sanzo couldn't accept what his ancestor did and grabbed Goku's other hand. He pulled it as hard as he could and stopped Konzen before he could reach the door knob. Hakkai and Gojyo shook their head and sighed. And then, the tug of war with Goku's hands as the rope began.
"Get your hands off him, You FREAK!!!" Konzen shouted, pulling Goku's right hand.
"No! You're the one who should leave him alone!!!" Sanzo yelled, pulling Goku's left hand.
"I'll never leave him! HE'S MINE!"
"NO! HE'S MINE!!"
"MINE!!!" Konzen said it out loud and started to pull Goku's hand again.
"MINE!!!" Sanzo barked, didn't show any sign of giving up.
"MINE!!!"
"MINE!!!"
"STOP IT! MY HAND'S GOING TO BREAK!!!" Goku screamed struggled to escape from two crazy blond that kept tugging him.
"Poor Goku...," Hakkai said, swept his tears with his finger.
"Yeah...," Tenpou did the same thing with his coat's sleeve.
"Hey, Sanzo. You better stop it of the Monkey will be armless," Gojyo said to stop the monk. But Sanzo was too ambitious to listen to him.
"Konzen, you sure don't want our chibi to lost his hands, right?" Kenren asked.
"I DON'T CARE!!!" both of the blond responded.
"BUT I CAREEEE!!!" Goku cried out loud.
A knock heard from outside the door. Hakkai noticed it hand walked past Konzen and Sanzo, who still fighting over Goku, and opened the door. There was a man, the inn keeper, stood in front of him with confused and worried voice. The green clothed man could saw him trembled from head to toe. Hakkai then saw the other inn resident peeked from their room.
"I-I'm sorry," the inn keeper said. "Um... the other resident... asked if you could, you know, keep the voices...ah...?"
"Oh, sorry about that!" Hakkai understand what was the old man trying to say. "We really want to keep our voice down, but you see..."
"DIE, YOU NAMAGUZA BOUZU!!!" Konzen voice heard.
"GO TO HELL, YOU GOD ASS LICKER!!!"
"Sanzo, that isn't very nice to say!!" Hakkai raised his voice a bit. "Well... um, hope you understand about our situation here..."
"Y-yes! I-I understand! Please, excuse me, then-..."
The inn keeper paused his sentences when a bullet passed right beside his head. Hakkai turned around and discovered Sanzo with his gun, pointing it to Konzen's head. His left arm still grabbed hard on Goku's. Konzen looked like he ready to die and didn't loosen his grip. Gojyo knew well that Hakkai didn't want to see blood splattered on their room and took Sanzo's evoker before the monk could shot it for the second time. Lost his weapon, Sanzo back to the mouth war and fighting again with Konzen.
Hakkai sighed and faced the inn keeper, only to find the old man sat on the floor and trembled all over. He kneeled with worried face and asked to the inn keeper.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?"
"Y-... I'm... okay... yes...!"
"Thank God..."
"I-I'm going to go... P-please, excuse me," the inn keeper then crawled and left the entire group alone.
"I'll make sure we won't create any new hole!" Hakkai said, informed the man. Then, he turned and faced the other resident. "Sorry, did we interrupt you or something?" but what he got wasn't answer. All of them shocked and closed their room's door tightly.
The blond men were still fighting when Hakkai closed the room's door. Goku looked like he was ready to cry as his masters kept tugging him from both side. Gojyo lost his interested in the fight and playing card with Kenren and Tenpou. Hakuryuu flew and landed on Hakkai's shoulder. The spectacled man sighed and talked to himself.
"This's going to be a loooooong day...."
