Chapter one:

Sakura came running across the now devastated landscape where the battle had just taken place, black hair flowing out behind her, the muscles in her legs burning, choking back the tears now searing the back of her eye lids. She knew what to expect, she knew the scene was grim, however it all seemed like a bad dream she may wake up from at any moment. The tears began to seep through; she wiped them away "Stay calm Sakura. Goku is strong and smart. He'll be fine… but what about Gohan?" She shook the thoughts from her head and pushed her muscles farther, knowing at any moment her legs may give out. Up ahead she could faintly see a flicker of orange. It looked as if it was blowing in the wind. "That has to be him!" The adrenaline pulsed in her body and with one final serge of energy she ran forward. She called out, the air burning and pushing out of her lungs tearing at the tissue as it escaped "GOKU!"

Goku stirred at the sound of his name "Sakura, I knew she'd come." He tried to focus his energy to call out, but it was useless, he was drained. Krillin, who had made his way back to his side called out for his battered friend "Sakura! He's alive!"

Sakura reached the trio and collapsed from exhaustion and began sobbing. "I thought you would all be dead!" She sobbed harder before turning to Krillin "Is he…?" Krillin's face twisted, "Dead?...no." Sakura's eyes shot open in horror. Her tears glimmering like diamonds on her brown skin. Krillin continued "Goku wanted him spared. For him to see mercy… I trust his judgement." Sakura nodded, "As do I." Goku moaned in pain. Sakura looked down at him helpless, "I never learned how to heal… what I did learn I'm too rusty with for any of it to be useful. I have to think… There has to be someone who can help…" Her eyebrows narrowed in thought, her exhausted mind trying to bring up something of use. "Think Sakura, Goku would do it for you…THINK!"

Bailey hung the last of her laundry on the line, picked up the basket and remaining pins and seemingly floated to the front door. She balanced the basket on her knee and turned the doorknob. She hummed to herself as she walked into the kitchen and dropped the basket on the table. She went to the sink to turn on the tap but stopped suddenly, she turned to the clock. "Sakura's late… maybe something went wrong…" Bailey's thought was interrupted but a sound similar to that of a bad radio signal "Bai-leyyyyyy- i-ttt-sss-sssaa—kkkkuur-aahhhhhhhhh-III-" and then static. Bailey picked up her shall. "Better late than never Sakura, I'm coming."

Sakura remained knelt next to Goku. He was tired and battered but she was glad to see he was very much alive. The breeze picked up a slight bit behind them. Sakura turned, fearing it was the saiyan. A few feet away from them stood a female figure. She was short and slightly built. Her long brown flowing skirt danced in the breeze along with her long, wavy brown hair, she had a white shawl draped over her shoulders. The figure moved closer to them, she smiled, "Sakura, long time no see, or talk for that matter! Then when I finally hear from you it's rustier than an old time radio. Good thing your aura never changes or I never would have found you." Sakura narrowed her eyes feeling rather pissed off. There had been a time when her powers had far surpassed that of her friend. That was before she met Goku. Having Gohan simply sealed the deal that she would not return to her training. Sakura felt no bitterness to this. Her family was the world to her. However she was bitter that her friend who had never wanted the powers she now possessed not only had them but had mastered them. Bailey moved to Krillin first. She held a hand over him, "Now this may feel a bit funny and hurt a bit but you'll be in tip top shape in no time." Krillin look at her confused, a strange kind of sparkling green light emitted from her hand. He felt his skin tingle, then go numb and his broken bones began to grind and twist. He was about to scream out in agony but then the pain stopped. He blinked dumbfounded moving what was only moments ago his broken arm. Bailey smiled at him and winked, "Pretty useful parlour trick to pick up, hey?" She stepped to Gohan. Her eyes shot wide and her jaw hit the ground, "WHAAATTT! Another Goku? Where did this kid come from!" Sakura put her hands on her hips, "He's my son." "Sakura the housewife," Bailey shook her head "I knew this was coming. You always claimed I'd settle first. I knew you weren't right." Sakura's forehead furrowed even more, her brown skin getting a tint of pink. She stood up, "I DIDN'T CALL YOU HERE SO YOU COULD PICK APART MY LIFE! I CALLED YOU HERE TO HEAL MY HUSBAND AND MY SON NOW DO IT GOD DAMN IT!" Bailey rolled her eyes, "Fine." She held a hand over Gohan, this time a pink, shimmering light emitting from her hand. She turned to Krillin knowing he was questioning the color change "Kids need some extra love." She winked again. She turned to Sakura "Little guy is sleepy but back to his 100 %." Bailey looked at Goku. "I'm afraid it's not going to be as easy to heal hubby Sakura, even for me." Sakura picked up Gohan. "Good thinking Sakura. You haven't forgotten everything." Sakura placed a hand on Krillin's shoulder "We're going to have to step back to give her room to work Krillin." Bailey tied back her long wavy hair. "Hey Goku, remember me?" Goku broke a smile, "All…we…eevveer..did…was..argue." Bailey smiled, "That's exactly right. Now this is going to hurt. Almost as much as getting squished into this shape did but I'm sure you can handle it." Bailey winked. She took a deep breath and held two hands over Goku, The green light emitted, followed by pink. Not a dent was put in Goku's injuries. Sakura watched horrified, "Come on Bailey, you're the best there is. You have to do this for me…" Bailey took a moment, focused her energy, held out both hands and a bright royal blue light emitted, Goku screamed in agony as his bones and muscles twisted and contracted. After what felt like hours it stopped. Bailey gasped for air after expending a mass amount of her energy. She looked at Goku, "I barely put a dent in his injuries. There is only one more heal I can do." Sakura stood by holding onto her son, "I've only ever seen one person capable of doing her next heal, if she does it wrong she'll die…" Bailey spoke out, "Don't worry about me old friend. It's not like I have much to live for anyway. I'm here to give you back your family and that's what I'll do if it kills me." Bailey's stretched her arms towards the sky, collecting energy from the world around her. Goku looked at her in pain and confusion, "What is she doing? That looks like the technique for the spirit bomb." "Shut up you fool! What use would I have for a spirit bomb? Now be quiet before you break my concentration and we both blow up." Bailey felt the necessary energy reach her. She glowed in a purple light, her hair now a shade of purple to match. She held her hands over him, the purple light bathing them both. Goku felt intense pain he screamed out. The light faded. Goku felt about his body, he was functional now, but not fully. Sakura approached, "Oh Goku…" Bailey was shaking, "I'm going to have to take him with me to get him back to full shape. His injuries were a lot more extensive than we both thought." Sakura's eyes shot wide open, "But he just got home! You can't just take him away again! I want to-" Bailey shot Sakura a look that could have melted ice. "I know Bailey, I can't." Sakura hung her head and the tears burned at the back of her lids again, "I feel so useless… I should have been able to help them… I was gifted…" Bailey examined Goku, "Only two weeks tops Sakura, then you will have your man back and I'll have my personal space and won't need three years supplies of groceries for one week." Goku looked up at Bailey, "I hope you are a better cook than King Kai." Bailey's eyes narrowed, "I want to clock him, but in the name of friendship I won't." Krillin piped up, "Uh, guys… I hate to interrupt but… what are we going to do with the saiyan?" "How extensive are his injuries?" Krillin looked at Bailey blankly, "Uh... bad." "Goku wanted him spared?" Goku spoke up, "Yes." "I'll take him with me. I'll put him under sedation for Goku's stay and then I'll bring him back slowly, if he doesn't cooperate I'll put him back to his original state." Sakura panicked, "YOU SAW WHAT THAT MONSTER DID TO GOKU WHO IS FAR STRONGER THAN YOU AND YOU WANT TO TAKE THEM HOME TOGETHER!" "You know as well as I do Sakura that my place would be the safest place to keep him. He will be removed from the city and disoriented when he finally comes to and more so under my control than I will be under his… unless you want to take him home." Sakura giggled, "You're right he's yours. You said you have nothing to live for anyway. Let's hope you meant it haha." Bailey rolled her eyes. Bulma arrived in the clearing "Sakura! I-" She stopped in her tracks when she noticed Bailey. "Sakura is that-" "An old friend? Yes." Bailey collected the fallen saiyan and draped Goku's arm around her neck, "Remember Sakura, you can get him in two weeks. Try re-honing your ESP skills while you have some free time too!" With that they vanished. Bulma looked about confused, "What just happened?" Sakura turned to her, "They will be fine. We have other matters to tend to." Tears filled Bulma's eyes and she nodded.
