005th Meatbun ☼ Voice / Drawings?

[So guess which kid woke up veeeery early in the morning due nature's call... Only to freak out about the recent experiment. Or rather than freak out, get terrified by it. Guess who gets out of Ukyo's apartment as fast and silently as possible -and for a monkey that's easy- to run away to the forest.

Later in the day, much later, in the early afternoon, after most of the village has gotten out of their "wtf" and such reactions... People flipping pages in the journals may come across an entry with someone doodling in there. They are pretty simple drawings, it's not as if Goku has his color pencils with him or whatever.

There's a girl, with long hair and a bow in the head, she holds what could be from a paint brush to a cooking tool. In fact for some it may be recognizable if they have visited a certain okonomiyaki stall. Her other hand holds the hand of a child, with messy hair and what seems like a hairband or a crown on his head, who looks very, very, happy. And he is holding the hand of a boy, who also has a hairband on his shorter hair and who has lots of interrogations above his head as if he's not sure where he is. On the girl's other side there's another man, older and taller and accompanied by a black dog. The drawing also has a happy sun and happy clouds and happy trees and everyone looks happy there.

There's a record accompanying this piece of art, but it has nothing of interest unless you like to listen to a child crying and sobbing. At any rate, the beautiful drawing is soon destroyed by lots of lines striking it almost angrily. At this point there's a voice being recorded but it sounds far, as if not talking to the journal.]

You guys are lucky... Whenever you get out of there you will have a mom and a dad... I don't have those...

I had them but it was a lie... I also had a grandad...

[Moar drawings, this time it's different though yet a bit similar, there are three "adults" but they are different from before, they are all boys, one has what one could assume is light hair and dresses like a girl and has a dot in the forehead. Another has short dark hair and seems to be smoking -or throwing smoke from his mouth- and holds what is a bottle that has "wine" scribbled on it messily because he almost ran out of space on the bottle. There's another one, with short hair and a monocle and with a kind of dragon or bird on his shoulder. The kid from before he here too, the only one unchanged and still looking happy. Everyone looks happy here.

It gets covered in strikes soon enough as well.]

I want my family back... Both of them.

[And that's all there's to see and hear. Yeah, here's one of the people who's taking this change sadly.]

[He doesn't want to go back home. He doesn't know where's his home. He just knows that back at Heaven's things weren't as great as here but he had a "family" but it's not complete anymore. And that just yesterday he was in this great place and had a family... But he doesn't anymore. Both families were "fake", both aren't with him anymore.

Why can't he have a family? What is it that he has done that's so wrong that means he can't have a mama or a papa like the other kids?

Hearing Hakkai only makes him shift but he doesn't move or call back. He's not here, Hakkai. Ignore the suspicious leaves falling from the top of a tree, they haven't fell because a monkey shifted in his hideout among the branches. Ignore the gleam of gold among the leaves at the top of the tree, it's not a golden crown attached to a monkey.]

[Sheik's had a long day already, but when he does take the time to check the journals and comes across this, he can't help but feel he should offer something to console the boy. He feels about as let down about the whole thing as the kid sounds.]

Goku? [Pause. He's not sure he should attempt to help. He hardly knows the kid, and is barely in better shape himself. He shakes his head to himself, then continues.] It was a cruel joke. It hurts to be given something, only to have it taken away. It was wrong of the Malnosso to tamper with something so precious.

[Another pause. How does he continue...?]

[Nataku is normally an early riser, but sometime after midnight he dashed into the forest and he hasn't returned to the village since. He spent most of the night by the stream where he stopped with Rokuta over a week before. It's his last pleasant memory before... Before all the new ones.

He hasn't looked at the journals at all, or slept, or eaten anything. He just feels tired and empty, and he wishes he could forget how it felt to have a family because all of the carefully constructed lies he's told himself to get by just don't hold up against what he knows now.

After sunrise he leaves the riverbank to get lost in the forest, wandering aimlessly. Eventually, he hears the sobbing, and the voice that accompanies it. He moves without thought, but with purpose.]
Goku?

[Ukyo only happens to find this by chance, as she's pensively flipping the pages and trying not to think about the past week. Of all the cruel things- she was pretty and cherished... loved. Not just one girl in a string hopelessly engaged to her friend who wouldn't just choose. She had a family and a happy one.

She pauses, spotting the picture and how it's been angrily scribbled on, then the rest of the message. It breaks her heart a little, no a whole lot.]


Goku? You wanna talk, sugar?

[Shadow is unsure what to say, if anything. He's even worse with emotions than his counterpart, and just as bad with kids. Since he'd never raised his. They just confuse him. But... it's not like it was such a bad thing. He'd had something he'd turned away from long ago. And doesn't know what to think about it.]

I'm not that old.

[The only think he can think to say to start things.]

[It's ma- no, it's not mama, it's not family. It was all fake and he wasn't a wanted child or anything. He wasn't in the world because someone had wanted him to be, he's just someone who woke up in a mountain, all alone and was brought to Heavens and put under Konzen's care... He hadn't ever stopped to think about that except now but... Konzen and the others, they hadn't wanted him there, right? No one had asked for him to exist or anything.]

I'm sorry...

[Voice]

[Families confuse Goku. He only really learned about the term and such upon arriving to Luceti. Only now he has come to understand that Konzen and the others are his family, not just his friends, or at least he wants them to be... But they aren't, no one is his family. He doesn't get it.]

I don't get it... I don't understand ages, they don't make any sense.

[No, really, they don't, for him at least. So he has no idea what you mean by "I'm not that old".]

For what?

[Ukyo's a softie, for all that she beat Ryoga within an inch of his life when she woke up this morning, and she really just wants to hug this kid.]

Where are you at?

[Hearing his name makes him shift, trying to hide more for a second, until he realizes who is calling for him.]

Nataku...

[Calling from the top of a tree, hidden among branches and leaves, Goku leans forward a bit trying to make himself seen for his friend.]

I'm up here. Come?

voice

[identity profile] justonename.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[For what?]

For what I did wrong, it was wrong that I was your son, right? I'm sorry.

[As if he had any control over that. He's... Not going to answer to where he is yet, he is hidden for a reason, if he wanted to be found he wouldn't bother to hide.]

But... I liked it. Even if it was wrong, I really liked learning martial arts cooking and making okonomiyaki with you and helping you... I liked being your son, even if it's wrong.

[Should he apologize for that too? But he doesn't want to. He doesn't want to think that it's wrong that he liked or likes it.]

[identity profile] cutefiancee.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What?! No it's not wrong!

[Now sleeping with Ryoga while she's engaged to Ranma? That probably falls squarely under wrong. But Ukyo's not about to go into any of that with a kid.]

I liked teaching you too. Why don't you come by the shop and we can talk?

[If he does, he'll find she's got a sign on the front door saying "closed for family emergency".]

voice

[identity profile] justonename.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
But everyone says it was fake, it was an experiment. A lie. Lies are wrong, aren't they?

I don't like it being one though.

[He hums, she liked teaching him too. And he likes to learn. It was fun, it was nice and he really liked it. He still wants to learn it all. And he liked making okonomiyaki just as much as he likes eating it, and that's a lot.

But he's hidden, if he goes there he won't be hiding anymore... But she doesn't sound angry which is part of why he ran away. He was afraid of everyone being angry with him, people in general were upset after all, weren't they?]

... I'll go.

[Voice]

[identity profile] justonename.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Jokes are supposed to be funny...

[Sobs.]

It was fun but it's not now... I don't like it being a lie.

What those people did to us was wrong, but you didn't do anything. Okay? So you just come on over and I'll take care of ya.

[True to her word, Ukyo will be waiting for him with open arms and a big smile. Although he might be surprised to see how she's dressed. Ukyo's feeling not so female after all that and has reverted to her safe and standard boy's clothing, complete with having her chest bound down. She'd absolutely pass for a pretty-ish boy if you didn't know otherwise.]

I don't really get why was it wrong to give us families... I'm going.

[It was nice after all. At leas he liked it a lot and all... Then again he has never had a family like that, sure there's Konzen and the others but it's not exactly the same... And they weren't a family either, right?

It'll take time but eventually there will be a little boy staring at the sign in the door blankly before he dares to open the door and peek in shyly. Fortunately, Goku couldn't care less about how one dresses or looks, he only focuses on the face, which is why he quickly accepted Hakkai and didn't freak out.]


... Hi...

Goku, please come out.

Ah - Goku. Are you okay?

[Crying children are always okay. Fortunately he's not the type to lie even if he wants to...]

It hurts a lot... It's not fair.

[Ukyo spends that time thinking about what he said and... she sort of agrees with the child. In fact, she's realizing she probably owes Ryoga an apology for beating him up this morning.

But Goku's arrival is met with a good firm hug from her. She may not be his mother, but she can be a big sister, no problem.]


Hey there. Glad you came.

You know, I thought about what you said. It wasn't wrong of them to give us families. It was wrong to take them away from us. It's not very nice of them. So! We'll just have to beat them at their own game and make our own families. What do you think?

[Action]

[identity profile] justonename.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Still up here, hiding. But he answers in a pouting and sad voice.]

No...

[Voice]

[identity profile] lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't why they did that, but I'm not blaming you.




Don't be sad. We can still be friends?

[identity profile] justonename.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[The hug actually surprises him, but you won't see him complaining. Instead he hugs her back, clinging to her like he did at the start of the experiment and he believed he was her son and that had gotten lost somehow. it's okay if she's not his mom, he doesn't really know what's a mom anyway, a big sis would feel the same to him as he is now.

He's busy clinging and hugging her while she speaks, her question earns a stare that's a mix of confusion and surprise.]


Make our own families? Can we do that on our own? Really?!

[Voice]

[identity profile] justonename.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a humming sound a mix of agreement and a sob. They can still be friends, of course, but still...]

I miss it already.

You can't expect to solve your problems if you run away from them. I'm sure your friends are concerned for you. I'm worried myself.
