Hello, again, and welcome to the 2nd chapter of Time Can Only Tell. This
chapter is longer than the others!!!! Yipee-Skipee!!! Ok, here's a note
to people reading: If things have been a bit confusing in the reading, I'm
sorry. See, I was using italics for things that the people thought, but I
didn't realize that those did not come up when I transferred them to
fanfiction.net. So, from now on, I will use the * to show peoples
thoughts. There is also a lot of different sides to this story, so try to
bear with me. I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's very different, but
please give it a chance, despite the title and all. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Babidi's Seduction
A cloud hovered above the desert valley where everyone was. It made everything appear a little darker than before. Dark, like the woman's secrets…
"What?", Gohan asked, alarmed a bit by the new information she had just given him, "You-"
He was interrupted by a swift hand that flew up to his mouth. Her fingers rested upon his lips.
"Silence", she murmured in a weird voice that was not out loud, but it was not spoken in his head either. He couldn't quite place what kind of speech he had heard, and that scared him, but not as much as the next step of the incantation. Her hand glowed a bit with white light and he felt a small jolt of electricity go through his mouth.
He tried to say something, but he couldn't! His lips moved, but no noise came out. Alarmed, he started to back away from her, but was immediately stopped when her sunglasses rode down her nose and he saw her beautiful silver eyes, shining like large engagement rings on her face.
*Wow, she's really beautiful*
"Silence", she repeated, this time touching his forehead, giving him another minor shock. However, he did not notice this because he was too busy staring at her amazing elegance. She looked up at him and noticed that he was peering down her shirt.
He knew he was in trouble. He had seen Master Roshi in this situation tons of times. He closed his eyes and waited for a slap across the face or some even worse magic that she obviously possessed. Nothing happened. He opened his eyes and saw that she had a slight blush on her cheeks and was quickly adjusting her sunglasses back to normal.
As soon as the glasses covered her eyes, he quickly looked away from her, mortified. His entire face was beet red.
*What has gotten into me?!? I am never talking with Master Roshi again!*
He started to apologize to her, but still not words came out of his mouth.
*What did you do to me?*
He tried to call for help mentally, but that didn't work either.
*What?!?*
He started to walk over to the other people and get help when he heard her voice again.
"Hault"
He stopped in his tracks, not moving a muscle. He tried with all his might to move, but nothing moved. Not even his hair would blow with the light breeze.
"Come back here", she commanded.
He felt himself walk backward until he was leaning against the cliff beside her again. It was not longer the breeze chilling him, but the presence of her sorcery.
"Stay here", she ordered.
He looked at her with a questioning face. Many questions raced through his head. Whose side was she really on? Why couldn't he pick up her ki? Why would she hide it and how could she do it so well? Could he trust her?
Somehow picking up the last question, she replied, "Do you really have a choice?"
Dead silence.
"Don't ruin the surprise for everyone else.", she simply stated.
Gohan was getting a very bad feeling about her, but like she said, there was nothing he could to about it.
*~*~*~*~*~*
A little ways away…
Shin watched as the crap was beaten out of Vegeta. Even the Majin Powers he had received were not helping him. Shin grimaced as Majin Vegeta slid into a nearby cliff, going straight through it.
He stared at the ground as he thought this over. This was not going very well at all. Vegeta was everyone's only hope, and Buu was just toying with him.
Shin clenched his fists as he heard Babidi laugh at the shear fact that Majin Buu was winning easily.
*Damn it, what should I do?*
*~*~*~*~*~*
Back under the shade of a cliff…
She quickly touched up her face and stood herself up to look very poised.
*Show time*
*~*~*~*~*~*
Babidi laughed. This was much easier than it should be.
He felt the female approaching him from behind. Why was she going towards him of all people?
"Babidi?", a soft voice questioned.
He didn't even turn around, knowing who it was, and replied harshly, "Leave me alone bitch! Can't you see that I am busy?!?"
He turned around to glare at her, and was surprised when he came face to face with her. She was….extremely beautiful, to put it mildly. Why hadn't he noticed this from the sideline? He stared into her eyes, large elegant silver orbs. He managed a flustered smile.
"Do you remember me Babidi?"
As he looked at her, the world seemed to stop around them. Buu no longer mattered. Nothing mattered but the soft glow of her eyes.
"N-no, tell me, who are you?"
Her face looked as if it would burst out with tears. She appeared to be very mentally hurt.
"I'm your fiancé! Your father proclaimed it when we were both very young! Don't you remember? Please remember!"
He thought for a moment, then replied, "Actually, I think I do…"
"You are already married then, aren't you?"
"No", he replied happily, thinking of his good fortune.
Her face suddenly broke out into a radiant smile. "Then, will you marry me as your father willed so long ago?"
"Of course", he said, staring down her shirt. She would definantly make a wonderful new edition to his minions. She had much nicer qualities than Dabora and the others.
She was so overjoyed, she grabbed him and kissed him deeply.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Shin was disgusted at the sight. That insane woman kissing Babidi. What was wrong with that lady? Obviously the cranks weren't turning the right way in her brain.
*The light is on, but nobody is home*
He smirked at his clever remark, then stared as something weird happened.
Her lips, they were eerily glowing! Light poured into Babidi's mouth as she continued the kiss. Babidi was now squirming, trying to get away, but with no avail. She held him close and did not let him go. Soon there was a large flash of light that temporarily blinded Shin.
When he was able to remove his arm from his eyes and see, Babidi laid on the ground, unmoving. The woman was now clad in the apparel of a sorceress. She wore a lovely white dress that was adorned with diamonds. It could be fit for a human bride. Her hair was in twists that cascaded out into thick, long curls. A glass book, most likely filled with incantations, floated beside her.
She walked over to the dying Babidi, book following her.
"Appearances can be deceiving", she quietly stated.
He made an attempt to spit on her, but he missed and it landed upon his own face. He slowly then shut his eyes, never to open them again.
Shin and everyone else, including Majin Vegeta and Buu stared at her, blank expressions adorning their faces. They said nothing, just stared.
Finally Piccolo spoke up, "That must be the most interesting way I've ever seen a person killed."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
See, hooray, a longer chapter! Yippee-Skippee! Please review! I hope you enjoyed it, but if you didn't, review anyway and tell me what you think, but please don't be too harsh. Thanks a bunches!
By the way, if anyone is looking for a good book to read, then read Sabriel By Garth Nix. It is a wonderful story, I just finished it this morning, I loved it and I just can't stop talking about it! If you like fantasy, you love this one for sure!
