Disclaimer: Hi,sorry for taking so long with this update. To make things up I wrote a wee bit extra for this chapter. Oh yeah, Ryoame doesn't own DBZ. Like you couldn't figure that out by now.



Love of a lost one
Chapter 3
( LIMBO )




Shin led Kiyan to a plain high above the earth. It wasn't the world of the Kai's or HFIL. This place was desolate. No grass,trees or plants grew there. The sky and atmosphere were made up of huge black clouds that never allowed the sun to shine. "What is this place?" Kiyan asked with a look of fear on her ghostly face. "This is the plain known as Limbo." Shin told her.
"There are a few things you need to know before we can try to bring you back to life." Shin took Kiyan's hand and they flew to the ground. "Do you see that mountain over there?" He pointed to a huge mountain that seemed very far away. "Well that's where you have to go. You must journey through the land of "Lost Souls" on a most dangerous course to the mountain. Once you are at the mountain, you have to retrive a special gem. It's called the "Gem of the Christened One. When you return with it we can bring you to life again."

Kiyan looked at Shin. "Will you come with me?" "I'm sorry,Kiyan but I cannot. I am not supposed to be in this land right now. For I am the living and any moment a lost spirit could take my soul forever. You must do this on your own. I will wait for you to retrieve the gem." "Shin, what if I can't make it? What will happen to me?" Kiyan said worridly. "Do not worry. Our love will protect you. As long as you have that and faith, nothing will ever harm you." Embracing Kiyan,Shin looked into her eyes once more and smiled reassuringly. "Hurry Love! Come back with the gem." With that Kiyan was heading off towards the Mountain.

Part 2


Whipping winds blew Kiyan backwards and evil spirits chanted. Dark figures passed Kiyan's path frequently. Spirit's violently tried to snatch Kiyan but she flew high above them and made her way to the mountain. Shin was with her every step of the way. He communicated with her by telepathy.

Finally, Kiyan reached half way. Tired from struggling to get there, she stopped to rest. A little girl dressed in all white about six or seven years old came out of the darkness down the long and winding path. "Can you help me?" The little girl asked startling Kiyan. "Gee,little girl you scared the wits out of me! Are you...a lost soul too?" The girl nodded and looked at Kiyan with puppy dog eyes. "What do you want...from me?" Kiyan asked remembering that Shin had told her to be ware of dangers. "Can you take me to the mountain first? I'll tell you what I need when we get there." Suspiciously,Kiyan agreed. "Kiyan,stop! What are you doing?" Shin yelled telepathically. "she just a lost soul of a little girl. She couldn't possibly be a harm." Kiyan answered. "Kiyan,please be careful." Shin pleaded. "Don't worry."

"We're getting closer. Hey by the way,what's your name little one?" Kiyan asked the girl. "Don't call me little one. My named used to be Delly." The girls growled angrily. "Ok, Delly. You've got quite a temper there." Kiyan stopped for a spilt second and looked at the girl. The girl was a strange one indeed. Instead of the ghostly whit aura that surrounded Kiyan,the girl had a murky gray one. Her eye's had firey red pupils and her hair was the same jet black as Kiyan's. "You know,dell. You remind me of myself." Delly just looked at Kiyan annoyed. Still they kept going.

Shin sat and meditated on a rock, waiting for Kiyan to return. Suddenly a dark shadow appeared. It crept closer to Shin. Then it went into a solid form. The creature snuck behind him and waited. Sensing this, Shin opened his eyes and perked his ears. What was that? he wondered. The shadow creature emerged from behind the rock Shin was on and wrapped it's icy fingers around Shin's throat.




If you've felt that there's not enough Shin in this chapter,I appologize. Still it was kind of interesting though right? R&R and let me know if this was a screw up. Sheesh, sometimes I'm just not in the mood for a perfect chap. Oh and by the way I was thinking that a pic would go good with this story so if you like Anime drawing then you could email me and we'll discuss the pic. vballangel02@yahoo.com ~tootles~
