CHAPTER FOUR

New Sun

still at Homura's headquarters, night

"Tell me, Nii-hakase, what exactly happened to Son Goku?" Homura asked the smirking scientist as the two of them stood face to face in the empty hall. He had left Shien and Zenon to watch over the sleeping Goku. Nii just chuckled at the Toushin's question.

"No need to worry, Homura-taishi. As I've said, I will make him yours, forever…"

"Yes but… what exactly have you done to him? He seems like… he's in a nightmare of some sort… And his limiter… what happened?" Homura's asked.

Nii laughed, "Ahahaha, don't worry, Homura-taishi! Your precious Son Goku will be perfectly fine! I promise you that… oh, coming already?" Nii cut off his own statement as he watched Shien came running towards them, panting.

"H-Homura-sama…" he panted, looking rather panicked.

"What is it, Shien?" Homura asked rather curiously. Seeing Shien behave like this was rather uncommon.

Shien swallowed hard, "Ano… Homura-sama, I really don't know how to put this, but…" he stopped, thinking hard of what to say, "…you better come with me, Homura-sama!" with that, he pulled Homura's hand and dragged him along.

Nii smirked as he followed the two kami.

"Shien, what do you think you're doing? What exactly is happening?" Homura asked as he let himself being dragged by Shien. The said eye-closed kami just kept on walking as he mumbled.

"That's the trouble, Homura-sama. Son Goku, he…" the calm kami unable to continue his statement, "Well, you better see it by yourself, Homura-sama,"

They stopped right in front of Goku's room. Shien put his hand on the door knob and opened it, revealing the already-woken-up Goku and the already-pissed-off Zenon shouting at each other.

"Kono ero-kami!!"

"I'm not ero, kono gaki!!!"

"Oh yeah, you're ero!! And hentai of course!!"

"Say what, kono chibi saru???!!"

Homura couldn't help but drop his jaw as he watched the patched-eyed comrade of his throw insults with his supposed-to-be-prisoner as if they were old friends.

"Shien, I need some explanation. What the heck is happening?"

Shien shrugged, but he couldn't hide a small grin nevertheless, "I don't know, Homura-sama... We were just watching over Son Goku as you ordered us to, but then when Son Goku woke up… he acted as if he had known me and Zenon for a long time… and after that he started to call Zenon names… I really don't know what to do…"

"WAAGHH!! Ero-kami, what do you think you're doing??? You wanna kill me???" Goku let out sound of protest as Zenon leaped towards his bed and proceeded to pin the boy's head down.

This instantly raged Homura. Watching his Goku being pinned like that by his own comrade… the Toushin was about to shout when Zenon's shriek echoed throughout the room.

"I AM NOT ERO-KAMI KONO CHIBI SARU!!! GOT THAT???!!" Zenon shrieked as he caught Goku into a headlock and started beating his head.

"OW! OW!! ITAII!!! Shien, make him stop!! Onegai, make him stop!!" Goku pleaded to the surprised eye-closed kami.

"Me…?" Shien pointed at himself, uncertain what to do. But Goku screamed again, more pleading than before, and Shien just couldn't take it.

"Alright Zenon, if you don't stop beating Son Goku's head like that you may injure him more and I can assure you that you will soon regret Homura-sama's anger…"

It worked. Zenon stopped beating Goku as soon as he heard Homura's name being mentioned by Shien. He mumbled his sorry to the-pissed-face leader, not daring to look at the glaring Toushin.

Goku rubbed his head gently after pulling himself away from Zenon.

"Sankyuu na, Shien, I know you're the only one who can stop this ero-kami… hey wait a second," the boy stopped, blinked as he realized something, "did you just say 'Homura'?" the young heretic's luminous golden eyes gazed around the room and met with the mismatched eyes of the Toushin Taishi.

"WAII!!! HOMURA!!!!"

Shrieking, Goku jumped off from the bed and ran straight towards Homura; so fast that neither Shien nor Zenon had time to react. Homura was half-expecting the boy would attack him; he himself didn't get to react as well, so he just froze there watching the boy dash to him. To his surprise, Goku hugged him instead of attacking. He felt the boy's small arms wrapped around his waist, with his face snuggled into his broad chest.

"S-Son Goku?" he gasped in surprise.

Goku just snuggled happily into Homura's chest, "Waii!! Homura, I missed you soooooo much!! Where'd you go?? Why did you send the ero-kami to watch over me, ne??"

"SAY WHAT?! KONO…" Zenon was about to shout back, before being held by Shien.

"Calm down Zenon… do you really want to experience Homura-sama's anger?" the calm kami hissed warningly.

Zenon tried to swallow back his words, "Eeh… just kidding! I didn't mean to do anything!! Really!!"

Meanwhile, the said Toushin was unable to do anything as he watched the golden-eyed kid whom he adored so much was hanging on his waist, hugging him tightly while snuggling into his chest.

"Ne, Homura, why are you so quiet?" Goku sounded rather worried as he looked up right to Homura's face. Homura stared back at those innocent luminous golden eyes. They're just too… beautiful.

"You don't want me to do this?" Goku finally said, his head bowed and his expression clearly showed disappointment, "Gomen ne… I won't do this anymore if you don't like it…" he loosened his arms around Homura, and backed off a bit.

A part of Homura screamed in protest. He wanted those small arms encircled around his waist forever. He didn't want to lose the touch of that beautiful being. He wanted to hug the boy close, to embrace him tightly…

Without thinking twice, Homura grabbed Goku's wrist and pulled the boy to his direction. Ignored the boy's yelps of surprise, he put one of his arms around Goku's waist, secured him in the place while the other hand stroked Goku's smooth brown hair lovingly. Oh, how long he had waited to do this…

"H-Homura…" Goku still very surprised.

"Do it," Homura cut off. Goku blinked in surprise.

"Just do it, like you did it before," the Toushin pushed, "Do it. I don't mind it. In fact, I want it," he couldn't hide faint blush.

Homura could almost feel Goku smiled against his chest as once again the boy flung his arms around the older man's waist and pulled him close, muttered, "Sankyuu. I like you very much, Homura."

Whatever Homura expected, this was beyond his wildest expectations. He glanced to Shien and Zenon, and both of them looked as confused as he was, hearing Son Goku just say that he likes him. He eyed them, looking for help, what to do next.

Zenon desperately tried to say soundless words to the Toushin; his mouth formed[Answer him!!

[But what? Homura answered back, same soundless.

[Anything!! Zenon replied.

Sighed, Homura stared at the boy hanging on his waist, "Son Goku… why?"

THUD!! Sound of Zenon fell anime-style could be heard again.

[What kind of question was that???? he still tried to say soundless words.

Goku looked up at Homura, frowned, "'Why'? What do you mean?"

Homura shifted rather uneasy while still holding Goku, "I mean… why are you doing this, Son Goku?"

Goku's frown grew deeper as he pouted, "That was supposed to be my line. Since when did you call me by my full name? Just call me Goku like anyone else does!"

Homura dropped his jaw as he heard Goku's request. He couldn't think of calling the boy only by the first name; calling him by first name means that he has become a close person to him, "But, Son Goku…"

Goku pouted again, "Mou… you acted so weird today, Homura. Just call me Goku! GO-KUU!" the golden-eyed heretic boy flung himself towards Homura and pressed his face really close to the half-heretic. Homura was actually shivering when he felt a few strands of the boy's hair brushed against his face.

"G-Go…kuu…" Homura finally said.

Goku smiled, "Now that's more like it!" suddenly a loud grumble could be heard. Goku clutched his stomach and blushed, "Ano… Homura, harahetta…"

Homura, Zenon, and Shien sweatdropped, before chuckled.

"Well then, if you're hungry you may go to the dining room now. I've prepared food for you. Shien and Zenon will accompany you. Enjoy you time… Goku…" Homura threw a smile at the boy, not his usual smirk.

"What?? You won't be coming with us??" Goku asked curiously.

Homura shook his head, "Iie, I will be coming soon. I'll make sure that I'll catch up with you."

Goku stared innocently at Homura, "Hontou?" the half-heretic nooded.

"Waii!! Thanks a lot, Homura!! I'll make sure that I will save you enough food! Let's go, Shien, ero-kami!!" the boy then bounced cheerfully outside the room, followed by the struggling-to-hide-smile Shien and the murmuring "I'm not an ero-kami!" Zenon.

As soon as the three were out of the room, Nii Jen Yi finally spoke,

"Now Homura-taishi, are you satisfied by the result?"

Homura turned at the scientist and stared at him full in the eyes,

"I do. But I'm afraid now you have some explaining to do, Nii-hakase, what exactly happened to Son Goku? Why is he acting so… weird?"

Nii chuckled, "Oh I see, so you drove the other people away to get a chance to ask me, ne, Homura-taishi? Very clever indeed…"

Homura grew impatient, "Just tell me what has gotten into Goku!!"

Nii smirked, "Oh please don't get so mad of me, Homura-taishi! I've granted your wish of getting Son Goku and I've made him become yours, and yet you're still complaining? Anyway," his smirk grew as he watched the flame in Homura's eyes, "Alright, I'll explain. I've just altered his memories."

Homura blinked, "Excuse me?"

Nii's smirk grew, "I believe you have noticed the silver headband on his forehead. It's a new limiter I created especially for him. It's not only sealed his youkai form, but also intruded his memories and made him believe that it was you who freed him from the prison instead of Sanzo. You are now his master, his savior, his sun. You are the one he worships so much, the one he cares and wants to protect," his eyes glowed evilly, "You can do anything you want to him now. For your sake, he will even die."

Homura just stared at the scientist with full astonishment.

So… Son Goku has finally become mine… but then… what about Kon—Sanzo…?

"What will happen to Sanzo?" Homura asked rather curiously.

Nii just smirked as his glasses glowed evilly, "Oh, that. Well, you shall see by yourself, Homura-taishi. I promise it won't be too long," his smirk grew, "Ja ne, Homura-taishi. I believe I've finished my job, so I'm going now. Don't worry, I will come back for the scriptures. Don't forget the deal, ne? We will meet again soon enough," his cold and dark eyes stared for a moment at Homura's mismatched ones before he turned his back and proceeded to leave the tower, leaving Homura still astonished.

New… sun…

Author's Note: There you go. No cliffies, no Sanzo ikkou's appearance in this chapter, I'm sorry. But I promise our great monk will make an appearance in the next chapter.
