She had met them...originally it was fine as just them...but soon he wanted to be more than just them.
(Present)
Kagome watched the group head inside, she had planned on following them inside as well, but feeling someone approaching she stopped and waited. Turning her attention fully onto the bright aura heading their way.
She watched as a golden cloud flew towards Kame House and smiled softly as Goku descended with a little boy in his arms. "Huh? Is that...Gohan?"
"...oh...yeah, it is! Who...are you?" Goku asked curiously, scratching his head as he looked down at his son.
Kagome turned and called inside, "Bulma! Krillin! Master Roshi~! Goku is here!"
It took only a few seconds for everyone to run outside and greet their old friend.
Bulma froze after running outside, "hey, whose the kid?"
"Are you trying to earn some extra cash babysitting or something?"
Goku turned his attention to the boy in his arms and smiled, "He's my son...but then..." his eyes met with Kagome's, "you already knew that, didn't you."
This wasn't a question as the others took on expressions of shock and confusion. Stepping forward, she stopped a foot from Goku and Gohan, smiling gently in Gohan's direction before looking seriously into Goku's eyes. "I did not wish to ruin your reunion, but I have to speak with you Goku...it's very important that I do."
"..." Goku placed Gohan down and nodded, "sure. Uh...Bulma, do you mind watching Gohan for a sec?"
"Oh, uh...right, Goku." Bulma held her hand out, and after a reassuring nod from his father, Gohan ran into Bulma's arms.
"There are very few spots to speak unheard, so perhaps we can go elsewhere?"
"Can you fly?" Goku asked, slightly surprised.
"No, but you can. I can use this floating cloud, if it'll let me."
"Oh! Nimbus...yeah. It should if you have a pure heart."
Kagome frowned, "I don't think my hearts all that pure anymore, but...worth a try, I guess." She touched the cloud gently, carefully gauging the solidity of the cloud before hopping onto it and thanking whatever Kami's were listening, that she didn't fall through. "...so...shall we?" She pointed up.
Goku nodded, and the cloud followed its owner as if knowing on its own where it needed to go. They took to the sky and Kagome ushered Goku further ahead, they stopped in the middle of the ocean, a large rock formation stuck up out of the ocean enough that Kagome climb off the cloud and sat down on the warm stone. Goku landed on Nimbus and sat crisscrossed on the cloud as he waited for Kagome to speak.
"My name is Kagome...the easiest part of this will be telling you that I'm not from this time, or this dimension. I've met you before, Goku...or, Kakarot..."
"Kakarot?"
Kagome nodded, "I guess, that's your Saiyan name? I'm not sure still on the details, but from what I do understand, you are a Saiyan, and a pretty strong one?"
"A Saiyan?" Goku frowned, "I don't understand."
Shaking her head, she sighed, "I guess you don't learn about that stuff until later, so I won't touch base on any of that yet, more to the point, my being here is because of the Dragon Balls. As I told you, I've met you before...sixteen years in the future, to be exact."
"No way~!" Goku laughed, "You aren't lying, are you!"
"No, I'm not. While I don't really care about the time or dimension, what I do care about, is the wish that was made that caused me to come here, or more specifically, caused me to make a wish of my own, and come here."
"What happened?"
Looking carefully at Goku, she spoke the name softly, as if still afraid that she might somehow be overheard. "Bulma..."
"Bulma sent you back?"
"No, I did that myself. You see, Bulma found me in the future, and she somewhat took me in, somewhat locked me up. Depends on how you look at it. Her son and I got-"
"SON~?!"
"...well, yes...he was her son...his name was Trunks. But...he's mine now."
Goku took on a lost look, but his eyes hardened at the hurt look in Kagome's eyes. "What happened?"
"...I'll start from the beginning."
-x-x-x-
Bulma was looking around the sky for Goku while Gohan played with Turtle and a crab on Turtle's back. It was cute to watch, but really, where did Goku and Kagome fly off to?
"So Bulma, your friend..." Krillin blushed as he walked up to Bulma, "you wouldn't happen to know if she's seeing anyone, would you?"
"Krillin, I'm sure she's got taller standards." Bulma laughed at her friends' flustered cheeks.
"Hey now, no need to point out my obvious lack of growth!"
"...ah~!"
The gold glow of the Nimbus could be seen flying towards them, Goku beside it.
-x-x-x-
Kagome looked at Goku as they came closer to Kame house, "Please remember, the Bulma in this time, doesn't know. I don't want her to know, Goku. I'm scared she might try making another wish, should she find out about Trunks and Vegeta...I can't endanger my mate...or my child. So please..."
"I understand, Kagome. Besides, you said the wish also took Gohan's wife and child, and my youngest? Not to mention, Krillin's daughter and wife...how...it just, I don't understand how she wouldn't think this through."
"Normally, she would have...but she was consumed with anger, and grief. She was betrayed, Goku. I caused this...so...I will fix this."
"What do you plan on doing? If he never comes to Earth..." Goku stopped a bit from Kame House, both in plain view of his friends, "...will you search the Galaxy until you find him? What if you do find him? What then? Just explain everything and hope he's interested or that he believes you? There are so many things that could go wrong...what if Bulma remembers?"
"...I have no idea...Goku. I can't answer any of those, except for one...I will search the Galaxy, a hundred times over, if it means I might ever see him again. There is a saying, absence makes the heart grow fonder...then another says absence makes the heart grow cold and helps a heart to wander. You know, in all the days I was in Capsule Corps. Bulma was always in her lab, I wonder if that was why...she was so mad. She was drifting away...and I was replacing her...maybe I did go about this the wrong way."
Goku shook his head, "No, I don't think so. I know Bulma, she would have been upset either way, I also know that...when I mated with Chichi, it was something that I couldn't control. You have no control of your body when your teeth pierce the flesh of your destined one...I think, it was the same for Vegeta...and I think it was also the same for you...somehow, your body reacted to Vegeta as your soulmate."
Kagome nodded, "perhaps...I just hope, when I see Vegeta, he'll know I'm his..."
Goku laughed, "no problems there, I can smell it from here, you are taken. I don't know what Vegeta's scent is, but if I had my guess, I'd say it's on you from your toes up!"
Kagome blushed, but the awkward moment was quick to pass when they turned their attention to a greater power level, or, in Kagome's case, the dangerous aura, that was heading straight for them. Kagome had the Nimbus bring her back down to Bulma's side and Goku landed soon after. Neither listening as Bulma called out to them in an attempt to find out what was so important that they couldn't talk around them. However, there would be no answers given...quite yet.
