"Master, it is time to wake up."
Shin, also known as the Supreme Kai, moaned before turning over in bed and covering his head with his pillow. "Can't it wait ten more minutes, Kibito?"
The large man and assistant to the Kai walked over to the window and opened the curtains. "I am afraid not, Master." Kibito was used to the way his Master acted in the mornings. Everyday he would come to wake him and he would be half asleep for the next hour.
The Supreme Kai's room was large and open, with pale blue walls and dark blue trim. Very nice, but simple at the same time. Shin wasn't one to use his powers for personal gain, so he kept things simple to not let it get to his head. There was a walk-in closet and a bathroom attached also. Although, Shin rarely spent time in these rooms when he was not sleeping. He spent his days watching over the universe, keeping things in balance, and relaxing if everything was peaceful.
This was one of those peaceful times in the universe. Well, as peaceful as you could get. Wars still raged, and lives were lost, but it was nothing that concerned Shin. The Supreme Kai only concerned himself in affairs that would harm the universe as a whole. His life was busy, and if not for Kibito, lonely. Shin hardly ever got to interact with others outside The World of the Kais. Today, though, he would be getting another person to interact with.
Kibito did not know of his name, and nor did Shin. They only knew it was tradition for the Supreme Kai to get a new attendant every one hundred thousand years. Now was the time a new being would come to this world to serve The Supreme Kai and it would be Kibito's job to train the new attendant everything he knew. Kibito was very experienced, but his age was catching up to him. Even if he did not physically look older (no one in Otherworld ages) his energy was diminishing slowly. He guessed he had maybe five hundred years left before he would lose the rank of The Supreme Kai's attendant and move onto live in peace, free of his obligations. A part of him wished he could stay, but you can't argue with tradition.
"Master, please, today is the day the new attendant is set to arrive here," Kibito told him to try and wake him up.
As much as he didn't want to get up, he did. Shin sat up in bed and stretched before standing up on weak wobbly legs. His body never wanted to cooperate in the morning. He slept in comfortable loose pants and no shirt, sleeping that way made it cooler for him. Kibito nodded before helping his Master dress for the day. Shin knew how to dress himself of course, but Kibito insisted that he help.
"Kibito, when is he set to be here?" Shin questioned as kibito buttoned his top.
"I do not know, Master. We should go to the spot and wait," he suggested.
Shin pondered this before nodding, "Yes, we should be there for when he arrives."
"Yes, Master."
The two went through their normal morning routine of breakfast before heading off to the location the new attendant would be arriving at. When they arrived there, they both took a spot, and waited. The location was large. A large stone symbol that was similar to a star was on the ground. A red stone was at its center. At the five edges of the symbol, there were five pillars, each taller than Kibito with many intricate carvings on them.
Kibito remembered how it had been the first day he arrived here all those years ago. It was an awkward time for him. The previous attendant was smaller than him by a whole two feet, making it a bit uncomfortable taking orders from him. Although, it was a very interesting few hundred years.
Master and servant waited for about an hour in silence before there was a change in the air. Shin was the first one to notice it. His eyes opened and he looked to the red stone in the center. "Kibito, it's time."
Kibito nodded and watched carefully. Whitish-blue energy began to crackle from pillar to pillar until it was like an amazing fireworks show. Kibito watched in silent awe at the sight. This would be the only time he would ever see something like this. As the energy continued to crackle, most of it moved toward the center. It spun in a circle around something, a person. It went on and on for a few minutes until the energy slowly dissipated, leaving the person behind. They stood, back to them.
Shin's eyes widened when the person was about to fall over. "Kibito!"
He moved wordlessly to catch him before he fell. Shin moved over to them to get a look. When he got there though, he was met with a very shocked, and embarrassed, Kibito. "Kibito, what is the matter?" The normally red skin of Kibito was flushed purple.
"Uh… Master..." Kibito said uncertainly. "This is a woman."
"What?" he asked in surprise. He had never had a female as an attendant before, ever. When Shin moved to turn the woman over, he saw why Kibito was blushing. She had fallen on her front, and Kibito had caught her with one hand on the chest. If it had been him, he would have been blushing as well.
The woman looked to be seventeen years old, and a bit shorter than the Supreme Kai himself without his hair. Her skin was pale white, and her hair a dark blue. So dark, that if not for the light shining on her he would have thought it was black. Her hair was short and curly, about shoulder length. Her clothes were the same style as her new Master, only they were a range of reds and browns. She had the pointy ears like they did, and a pair of yellow Potara earrings.
Kibito, now over his embarrassment, looked down at the sleeping girl. "Why would they send a girl, Master?"
Shin shook his head, "I don't know, but we should take her back and explain everything to her when she wakes up."
Nodding, Kibito picked up the girl before they both flew home.
~Later~
"I think she is waking up, Master." Kibito called.
Shin had decided that they would stay outside to wait for her to wake. So they went to a meadow near their home and sat her down leaning against a tree. Kibito had been watching her, while Shin meditated on a nearby rock. Now he looked over and saw the girl stirring in her sleep. He stood and walked over to her, and before long she slowly opened her eyes to reveal dark onyx eyes. When she noticed the two men, she gave them a questioning stare before looking around.
"Hello, what is your name." Shin asked her.
Her head snapped to him. After a moment, she answered, "I'm Haru, who are you?"
Before Shin could answer, Kibito interrupted him, "How dare you speak to the Supreme Kai like that. Treat him with some respect. He is your new Master."
She gave him a confused look, "Eh?"
"Kibito, calm down."
Slinking back slightly, Kibito followed orders.
Shin looked back at the girl and continued, "I am The Supreme Kai, have you any idea of who I am or what I do?"
"Umm, no, I don't know what that is. I don't even know why I'm here. I can't remember anything before right now..."
Shin frowned, this was odd. When Kibito came to him he remembered the life he had before. So did all the others who came here to be his attendants. The summoning stone looked for the one most fit to be the Supreme Kai's attendant, and brought them here once they died. Whether they died in the past, present, or future, it didn't matter. Looking at how young Haru must be, he thought that she must have died a horrible death and she was suppressing her memories. Or perhaps the summoning stone happened to just take her memories away.
"I am sorry to hear that Haru, I hope in time your memories will return. But, now this is your home. You were chosen to be my attendant, so you will learn everything you need to know from Kibito," he gestured to the large man behind him before continuing. "I apologize that this is so sudden, but in return for this, I will help you try and regain your memories from your past life."
"Wait a minute!" Haru shouted, holding her hands up, "Past life? You mean… I'm dead?"
Nodding, Shin explained, "Yes and no. You lived and died, but when you died, you were taken here to live again. You were chosen to help me take care of the universe. This is a job very few very get to experience. One person every one hundred thousand years."
Haru's eyes widened and she whistled, "Wow, guess I'm pretty lucky, huh?"
"You could see it that way, yes." Shin nodded. "Now, Kibito will take care of you for now. I must go and see to my duties." And like that, he was gone.
Haru's eyes widened, "Huh?! What happened? Where did he go?!"
Kibito stepped forward catching her attention. "The Supreme Kai has gone to fulfill his duties, I will be the one to look after you. Your job is to protect him at all cost and to help him whenever you are needed."
Haru's eyes seemed to swirl in confusion. What had she gotten herself into? All this 'Chosen' mumbo jumbo. She was dead, couldn't remember how she died, and now was going to be serving a guy she had never met before? At least he didn't seem to be a bad guy. He did say he would help her out in return for this... This Kibito on the other hand looked like he didn't fool around. "Okay… So, um, what now?"
"I will be teaching you everything you need to know to protect and serve The Supreme Kai. That includes learning all of my techniques and abilities."
"O-Okay... When do we start?" She asked hesitantly.
Kibito began walking away, hands behind his back, "Follow me, and we will begin."
AN- Hello! I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. :) Feel free to tell me what you think! I've been wanting to write a story about the Supreme Kai for SO LONG and now I am ^_^ This story will tie into the Buu Saga later, so we'll see a bit of the gang in later chapters. OH! I'm calling the Supreme Kai, "Shin" as his real name. I'm not a big fan of Kaioshin, and I've watched every episode of DBZ and I don't recall them ever calling him that... I might be wrong though. Even if I am, I'm sticking with it :) If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Favorite, follow, review! :D
...if you wanna...
