I got lazy for three months. I had this chapter inside my mind for a very long time. I just didn't want to type it. Well, I'm writing it right now!
Thank You:
Space-cadet6 – The only reason I had "wine consumed him" was because I was trying to compare that and to the Russians. The Russians know for a fact that they cannot accomplish anything higher because of the government (that country is a communist). It's sort of liked how it's in the story…But thank you for your review!
Kou – Thank you for telling me about their names. I accidentally switched their name.
SanzoxGoku Lover – Thank you for your review! I think Goku is adorable too!
Ayami – If you think the first chapter was touching, boy, I have a lot in stored for you. Chapter one to me was just the set up. It will get better!
Dismal-X – Thank you for liking the idea of perfects and imperfects!
Last Chapter:
Getting confused, Sanzo tried to ignore Kanzeon. As Sanzo opened the door, there was a small boy in front of the doorstep. "Who are you? Get off of my doorstep!"
"I guess he's here," Kanzeon proclaimed. With that, Sanzo turned to Kanzeon. "Explain."
"I'll give you half of my money if you take care if him."
"And why do I want your money," Sanzo was getting pissed. He had an appointment with a friend and doesn't like to be late.
Kanzeon grabbed a long list of bills. "How are you planning to pay for this?"
This completely took Sanzo off guard. He forgot that the only way he got to drink wine everyday was because of Kanzeon. "Ok, whatever. What's his name?"
"Goku. Son Goku. You'll be responsible for driving him to school and taking care of him. Remember that if one dies--"
"Then we all suffer. I got that." Sanzo turned to Goku. "He's a little kid. What's so hard?"
Kanzeon was practically laughing to herself. "I forgot to tell you…he's mute."
Chapter Two: Dance in the Rain
Sanzo stared in disbelief. "He's what?"
Kanzeon grabbed a piece of her hair playing with it. "He's mute. That means he can't talk."
Sanzo tried to get this in his mind. "I know what mute means. I just...that's wrong." Looking in the corner of his eyes, he saw Goku shivering. Focusing his eyes back on Kanzeon, "What do I have to do to get him signed up at school?"
A big grin came across Kanzeon's face. "I already signed him up. All you got to do is get him changed and take him to school."
Sanzo shrugged. "Fine, whatever. The faster I get him out of here the better." Sanzo and Kanzeon began to have a small conversation (or in other words, Sanzo is trying to get Kanzeon outside) with Goku still standing outside the door. Shivering, he fold his arms trying to warm him up.
After Kanzeon left, Sanzo went up to Goku. "Use your brain. If you're cold, get inside." Goku's big eyes stared at Sanzo. At that moment, Sanzo felt sympathy for him. "Go change. You have to go to school."
Goku nodded. Being led to the bathroom, Goku ended up being in the bathroom alone. In a stranger's house.
Goku looked around. The wall was white, the sink was clean, and the sun shines through the windows very brightly. He changed his old wrinkly outfit into a brand-new uniform which Kanzeon bought. After finishing, he opened the door quietly since he was scared about Sanzo.
Sanzo was sitting on the couch. "What's taking that stupid little boy so long?" A small gentle tap made him turn around. Goku was all dressed. "You're being too obedient. Well, let's go."
Arriving at the school, Sanzo felt a small chill. He had now realized that the school did not segregate the perfects and the imperfects. Everyone was mixed in, and the imperfects were immune to the attacks of the perfects. Trying to shake off the uneasy feeling, he led Goku to the main office. After getting his schedule, he began to walk off.
Except walking off was difficult. Goku held onto Sanzo's sleeves liked a small child holding onto a mother's shirt. "What? You have to go to school. I'll pick you up when school's over." With that, Goku let go of Sanzo's sleeves and watched as Sanzo left.
Goku walked into his first class. The class was filled with children which made him a little happier. In the front of the room, there was a woman sitting at her desk. He stood in the middle of the room confused. The woman looked at him. "You're the new kid?"
Goku nodded his head. The woman took a look at his paper and told him to sit in the very back. As Goku walked slowly to the back of the room, kids were looking at him. Some were laughing at his appearance while some were whispering to each other. A little while after Goku sat down, a boy in front of him turned around from his desk and stared at him. "So who are you? Perfect or Imperfect?"
Not knowing what he was talking about, Goku just shook his head. The boy's eyebrows began to frown. "Hello? I'm asking you. Answer to me."
Goku shook his head again. The boy stood up. "You're an IMPERFECT!"
Goku shook his head even faster this time. The teacher in front of the room looked up from her desk. "What's the problem back there?"
The boy's mouth turned into a grin. "He's an imperfect you guys. Let's have a little fun with him." The boys around Goku began standing up hovering over Goku. Goku shut his eyes not knowing what to do.
The teacher stood up. "That's enough!" The boys got back to their desks. "Now lets resume back to our works." The teacher told everyone to open the books up and lectured about it.
Goku tried to shake the horrible image of what just happened now. It's nothing. It's nothing. Suddenly, a small slam woke him out of his moment. He looked up and saw the teacher.
"I called on you. Answer my question." The teacher's face was red from anger. Goku stared at her for a few moments and then shook his head. The teacher's face turned black. "Why don't you at least TRY answering me?"
Goku felt his eyes fill up with tears. Not letting them fall, he shook his head even more.
SLAP
A red mark was showing up on Goku's face. The teacher was getting ready to hit him again. The class began to "ooh" and "aah" after this slap. Not even trying to defend for himself, he shut his eyes trying to hold back his tears. As the teacher's hand began toward his face, a hand grabbed it. The teacher turned around and saw a man with glasses. "What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm in a middle of something?"
The man let go of her hand. "That's enough."
The teacher let down her hand. "And what makes you think you can stop me?"
The man touched his glasses. "That boy looks weak. Remember you are not allowed to kill anyone even if they are imperfects."
"Fine. I want that boy out of my room now."
The man offered a hand to Goku. Still shaking from fear, he shook his head while looking away from him. The man placed his hand on Goku's right shoulder. "Come to my classroom."
Being in another room similar to his first class, he stood against the wall while the man was walking toward his desk. "What's your name?"
No answer.
"Stubborn aren't you? Well…it's okay. Just tell me when you feel comfortable."
Goku had a lot of things going on his mind. He's different…Why?
The man chuckled a little. "I'll tell you mine. My name's Cho Hakkai. You can just call me Hakkai."
Goku nodded his head a little. Hakkai progressed toward Goku. "I take it it's your first day here?"
Goku nodded again. Hakkai kept going. "It'll be hard on you but I'm sure you can make it through."
Again…he's being nice. It's all a trick. Goku followed Hakkai with his eyes as Hakkai moved across the room to get something.
Hakkai noticed Goku wasn't speaking. "You're still scared? You're going to have to talk sooner or later." Goku just stared at the ground. "Well, you need to get back to your other classrooms. I may end up seeing you later. Right now, I have an appointment."
The school day has ended. It has been quite a long one too…so it seems to Goku. All the students began to leave the school. Remembering what Sanzo had said, he waited in front of the building. He'll be here soon.
One hour had gone by…
The sun was beginning to go down. The air felt a little chillier. The clouds were covering the skies. Soon, it began to rain.
Two hours had gone by…
Goku looked in the air. He's just late…that's all.
Three hours had gone by…
It felt liked a year to Goku. It's all a stupid lie. Goku looked into one direction. He walked toward that direction without having any idea where it was going to lead. Deeper into the path he was walking, there were many alleys which were dark and gloomy.
Goku looked around. He got himself completely lost. He took a step backward only finding himself bumping in a person. He turned around and saw that person was much huger than he was. Taken back, he tried to run. But the person grabbed Goku. Goku struggled but to no prevail.
The person laughed. "Hey guys. Look what the cat brought in. He should be fun to play with." The people around him began laughing. He should be fun to play with…play with…Those words echoed into Goku's mind. The big person shoved him into the ground. "Let's toy with him."
A person grabbed onto Goku's arms. Another tried to take off his shirt. One person grabbed his neck and was using his fingers to wrap around it. Goku tried to shake them off but they were all much bigger than him. Tears fell from his eyes. Someone…please…
When a person was about to grabbed his face, a bunch of small pebbles were being thrown at the gang. "What the? Who threw that!"
"I did." The group turned around to a person, tall, red hair, and red eyes. "You dare mess with us!" The group leader ran toward the person ready to punch him. Only to his surprise, he was punched back.
"What kind of people are you? Messing with a kid liked him. If you don't scram, I'll kill you."
"Oh yeah? And what can you do? Kill someone and the emperor kills you."
"I don't give a care. He could kill me for all I care."
The group decided to leave. "Let's go gang. We'll find revenge one day."
Goku was left on the ground badly beaten. Crying at the same time, the man kneeled down to him. "Hey, you're okay?"
Goku shook his head crying. The man tried to examine Goku but Goku knocked his hands out of the way. "Look, I know you're scared. But if you don't get aid soon, your body will give out."
Goku struggled to stand up. The rain was pushing him down. Coughing at the same time, he tried to walk off but collapsed within a few steps. The man sighed. "What a stupid little monkey." He picked Goku up and carried him to his home.
I finish! Mua ha ha ha! Please review guys! Oh by the way, Goku can think because mute people do think.
