Chapter 22 "Ku, 'something that cannot be seen by the human eye',"
"Damn it Nataku, give us a fucking answer! What do you know about Goku's past?!" Konzen screamed. He was seriously beginning to lose his patience with this kid.
Nataku's eyebrows furrowed, his face was pale, and he was frightened. Cold sweat trickled all over his forehead as he continued to think about a choice. Should he tell them? Or should he tell a lie? He was trapped in Konzen-sensei's classroom and was surrounded by murderous auras.
Tenpou, who was usually very warm and cheerful, had been giving Nataku this bone-chilling glare as he glowered down at him. "We just want a straight answer Nataku, want happened in Goku's past?"
The window suddenly bolted open and revealed a boy who was climbing in. "I would like to provide every answer you need Sensei."
"N-Nii-chan?! What are you doing here?!" Nataku shrieked.
Nii-chan hissed at Nataku as he entered the room. "You can't answer these guys' questions alone Nataku."
"You! Aren't you-?" Hakkai exclaimed but was immediately cut off by Tenpou.
"We'll save the introductions for later. But for now, this is Goku's life we have on the line so we have to make this quick," Tenpou said as he looked at Nii-chan.
Nii-chan took a seat. "I never expected I would be telling you this. Not this soon." he said as he took a long pause and then with a heavy sigh started telling a story that left everyone in utter disbelief. "Seiten was an orphan who was left by the orphanage's door step on a cold stormy night. I was the one who first saw him since I was checking and locking the doors while I was doing the patrol, there was a knock on the door. Of course like any mere human would do, I opened the door. That's when there was this huge, bloody, sack in front of the door."
Konzen slammed his hand on his desk causing the papers to start flying around. "Wait don't tell me-!"
Nii-chan nodded. "Yes. Seiten was inside that sack, chained, beat up, bloody, and unconscious. I didn't have any idea as to why he was inside a sack, but all I know is I panicked and called for help from the older orphans."
Hakkai felt his hair rise. He never knew that Goku had gone through this much suffering. "G-Goku came in like that?"
"Unfortunately, yes. That's why, even when he was in the orphanage, he was very hostile and silent to everyone he met. He always had this blank look and silent demeanor which left me curious as to why he was acting this way. If it was fear of others, I wouldn't be surprised," Nii-chan explained.
Konzen's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that through all those years he knew so little about Goku. All he knew about the boy was that he came from an orphanage, and that he had raised him as a son. He didn't even know where Goku came from, or who his real parents were. Goku seriously reminds me of how I was when I was a kid. Miserable and sad.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
I'm looking for a kid to take home. Tenpou had been pestering me to get a child since the house had been lonely, and I was too cranky for my own good. I mean seriously, you can't blame him. He's been taking care of two grown up men who are living under the same roof as him. Of course he would start asking for a kid. He'd get sick of seeing out faces every day. Strictly, it should be a boy. "Shit, why doesn't he just get married if he wants a kid?"
"Wow, you look like the sun." A boy mumbled under his breath as he looked blankly at Konzen.
Konzen's brows raised. When did this kid pop out? "What did you just call me?"
The kid continued to look at Konzen. "The sun," the boy said softly as he slowly caressed Konzen's long golden hair and held onto it. Konzen felt his cheeks blush as soon as he heard the statement. Turning on his heel, he went the other way while the kid was still holding his hair.
*YANK!* and a few of the golden strands were left in the boy's small hands.
"I-I'm sorry," the boy said sheepishly.
A vein appeared on Konzen's forehead. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOTIC MONKEY?!" he screamed as he grabbed the boy's collar and started hitting him with his fist.
"Ow! I said I was sorry!" the boy protested as he protected his head.
"Konzen! What do you think you're doing?! Don't hit a kid!" A man with deep emerald eyes and spectacles on rushed to the two "kids" fighting. "Good grief! I take my eyes off you and you start hitting a boy! What is wrong with you?!" the man scolded Konzen.
Konzen grumbled and glared at the other man. "Shut up Tenpou! You were the one who dragged me into this situation in the first place! You know how much I hate kids!"
The said Tenpou hissed at the blonde. "Oh zip it Konzen! I don't care whether you hate or like kids, is not a reason to hit a child you just recently met!" Tenpou turned around and looked at the small boy. "Are you okay? You have to forgive my friend here, he can act like such a kid sometimes."
"I can here you loud and clear Tenpou!" Konzen screamed from the back.
Tenpou ignored the blonde and continued talking to the small boy. "My name is Tenpou, but you can call me Ten-chan. What's your name little boy?"
"S-Seiten," the small boy answered.
"Seiten. That's a very strong name," Tenpou exclaimed as he smiled. The boy just nodded.
"Hey Tenpou! Did you find something?" Another man came over to the group. He had short black hair that was pushed to the back.
Tenpou stood up and looked at Kenren. "Yes, I believe I found something," the man said as he fixed his necktie and dragged the two men outside by their arms.
"WAIT! YOU GOTTA' BE KIDDING ME TENPOU!" Konzen screamed.
"Unfortunately Konzen, I am not kidding," Tenpou answered very calmly. Kenren just smirked at Konzen's outburst.
Tenpou turned and looked at Konzen."Look Konzen, I want that boy! There's something about him that makes me feel unsettled. I just have this feeling that I should take him! And why are you so mad at the boy?"
"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT THAT KID! And that kid called me a freaking sun because my hair is Gold!" Konzen screamed at the top of his lungs. That boy reminds me so much of myself. But Konzen had got to admit there was something about that boy that had been bothering him for a while now.
"And you hated that?" Tenpou asked in total confusion.
Kenren just smiled. "Who agrees to take that kid home? Raise their hands."
Tenpou raised his hand.
Kenren raised his hand.
Only Konzen didn't raise his hand.
"Two out of three. Looks like we take that kid home!" Kenren laughed.
"You fucking assholes! You two are ganging up on me!" Konzen screamed.
"I'm sorry Konzen, but we are not ganging up on you," Tenpou exclaimed with a smile, a very malicious smile.
"GET BACK HERE YOU BASTARDS!" Konzen demanded.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
And after four weeks we took Goku home. Konzen thought. God, he was such a pain in the ass.) The blonde mentally face palmed himself. (He didn't want to eat and just stared at us every time we talked to him. He was a fucking hard nut to crack! Suddenly, something dawned up upon Konzen. Something he had forgotten for a really long time.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Konzen sat beside Tenpou while Kenren sat beside him. A man around his twenties was shuffling papers and had been asking them questions for the last 30 minutes.
"How much income do you three make?" the man asked.
"Combining the three of our salaries, we make a few hundred thousand," Tenpou answered.
The man lowered his glasses and raised his eyebrows. "Pardon?"
"You see, we three live at the same house, and are teachers for the same schools. So we combine our salaries to support the house and stuff," Tenpou explained.
The man was baffled. "But I can only name the kid to only one of you."
"Oh no, we will keep his whole name," Tenpou said.
"But I have to," the man enforced.
Konzen was thinking about something. Something has been bugging me for a while now. A boy suddenly came out of nowhere and asked me to change Seiten's name. But we already decided on keeping his original name.
"Do you really have to?" Kenren whined.
"But that's what it says on the papers."
Why did he ask me to do such a thing? Should I follow what that brat asked? Konzen struggled in deep thought.
"But we would really like for Seiten to at least remember his whole name," Tenpou protested.
"I'm very sorry Sir, but you really have to follow what it says here."
"GOKU!" Konzen screamed as he slammed his hands on the table. He has been listening to this nonsense of an argument of names for too long! It's time he picked a name and got it over with! "We change the first name and keep the last name. That's enough right?!" The blonde glared. In the end I have to change his name. What a pain.
"Y-yes, Sir. I ful-ly understand," the man shivered in fear.
"Ku, 'something that cannot be seen by the human eye'," Tenpou whispered to Konzen's ear, "That's a fine name you gave him Konzen."
"Oh shut up!" yelled the blonde.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Konzen's eyes widened. He remembered it now! He finally remembered it! "Why did you ask me to change Goku's name?"
Nii-chan was surprised for a moment or two, but he then smiled. "I see you still remember me."
Konzen glared back and crossed his arms. "Not quite, I just remembered you a few seconds ago."
Tenpou's eyes widened, and was very surprised. "Wait, you've met him before Konzen!?"
"Yeah, this guy asked me to change Goku's name before, and I never got an answer from him as to why he wanted me to change it," Konzen explained. "Now spill it! Tell me why you wanted me to change Goku's name?"
Nii-chan smiled as he leaned back on the desk. "I'll tell you why. I wanted Goku to forget everything about the orphanage. Starting from how it looks like, to who the kids were, and finally his name."
"Okay, but that doesn't really explain much," Kenren protested.
"Tell us something we don't know," Gojyo exclaimed.
"No! Don't tell them Nii-chan!" Nataku pleaded as he grabbed the boy's sleeves, but Nii-chan ignored him completely.
"They have the right to know this Nataku. They have every right to know what happened to Goku in the orphanage."
"So? Tell us what happened in the orphanage?" Hakkai impatiently asked. He wasn't going to sit down and listen calmly. This is Goku they were talking about, but he had a very bad feeling as to where this conversation was leading to. Everybody did.
"He was being raped," Nii-chan stated.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
A thick moment of silence covered the atmosphere. Tension filled every corner of the room.
"Y-you're kidding right?!" Gojyo exclaimed.
"Come on don't joke with us!" Kenren joined.
Unfortunately Nii-chan didn't say anything else and so did Nataku. They didn't move and had avoided their looks.
"Goku was being raped in the orphanage. He would often get bruises and scratches when he got back to our room. That's why he is scared of dark and narrow places, like the shed since that was the place where he got raped the most."
"T-THAT'S A LIE!" Konzen screamed at the top of his lungs. He couldn't believe all of this bullshit he was hearing right now. Nii-chan didn't say anything, and as if all was lost everything started to crumble.
Hakkai cried loudly in his palms.
Gojyo gritted his teeth, anger was clearly shown in his eyes.
Kenren started pounding and kicking the door mercilessly tears rolling from his eyes.
Tenpou's back collided with the wall and he slowly slid down the floor with a blank stare.
Konzen was angry. He grabbed Nii-chan's collar and hit him square in the face and continued hitting him till the poor boys face was bleeding endlessly, Konzen stopped. "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE GOKU!? WHY?!" The man screamed at the boy. Konzen loved Goku, just like a father would love his only son. He would definitely do anything for Goku even if it consisted of destroying who he was. And by destroying, he meant, even if he gave up his pride. Konzen was on the verge of tears.
Nii-chan's eyes started to water. "I COULDN'T PROTECT HIM EVEN IF I WANT TO! IF I COULD SACRIFICE MYSELF , I WOULD HAVE DONE IT! I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR GOKU! ANYTHING!"
Konzen fell to his knees, disbelief covering his face. "It can't be. It just can't fucking be."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Goku was soundly sleeping in the infirmary with Kougaiji beside him. The redhead was doing his homework while watching over Goku. Awww, he's so cute. The redhead thought to himself, and once in a while, Kougaiji would take sneak glances on Goku and smile.
*CREEEAAAAKKKK*
"Sorry, the infirmary is closed for the mean time!" Kougaiji yelled without looking at the door or whoever had come in. Suddenly, an unknown figure was behind Kougaiji's back, raised its metal pipe, and brought it straight down Kougaiji's head.
*WHACK!*
Kougaiji fell to the floor. His bleeding head collided with the cold tiles causing it to spread across the floor. The redhead struggled, looking for a way to see who his attacker was.
M-mis matched eyes...
OWARI!
