Welcome back to Time Can Only Tell!!! Updates might begin to be few and
far between now, since I start school tomorrow. I still say that they
won't take me alive!!! I really don't want to go back. I swear, they are
going to have to drag me onto that school bus tomorrow morning. Well,
enough of that and onto the fic.
Disclaimer: I am sorry to say that I will never own DBZ. It is merely a dream that will never become a reality.

Time Can Only Tell
By: Ponytail Goddess
Chapter 7: Surprising History
Shin's blood ran cold. The air was at a nice temperature all around him, but the words that she spoke made him shiver.
"I.......I stabbed her. She fell over and laid there with a shocked expression written all over her face. .........There was blood everywhere.....so much blood..........."
Her face was now emotionless. She was hiding her true feelings, he was sure of it. Yet she kept going with the description as if nothing was wrong.
Shin was in shock. All of the work that the Dai Kaioshin had went through to make her behave and teach her wrong from right had gone down the drain so very quickly. The child was no longer innocent at all. She was nothing like she had been before. And now, she scared him again. The only other time she had managed this was when he first met her at a young age. He had assumed the worst about her and then figured out that she was just a normal child. Well, not any more. There was a certain coldness about her now that made him wish that he could scoot away from her.
But he couldn't. The last thing that she needed right now was another enemy. Dear universe, she could kill him if she wanted to, he knew it.
"Yes", she said, interrupting his train of thought, "It scared me too at the time. In fact, everything that I've done still scares me today. At the time I didn't know why I had done it. It haunted me that I murdered someone. I killed someone!!! A relative!!! I hid under a table in that room for an indefinite amount of time. I just stared at her dead body for the longest time; the blood dried up and I was still there, looking at her, wishing that I could turn back time and never come here."
She stopped to pull a floating clump of silvery hair out of her face. It was stubborn and kept blowing back into the same place. She frowned and soon gave up on it and let it fly free.
"However, I soon became curious of the book that floated around me. It wouldn't leave me alone either that whole time. It told me to read it. It really wanted me to. I could easily ignore it at first, being rather traumatized about my relative and all, but after a while it could not be ignored. And so I started to read it. The reading went by slowly at first, I mean, after all, I was very young at the time and not so good at that task quite yet. Soon, however, I was going at a extremely quick pace. I got into it very quickly. I was learning it quickly."
"It consisted of things that I already should have known. About the history of Majiksei and all of my previous relatives. It told about all of their lives, their powers and how to use them, and their fates. I found out soon that I could not pull myself away from the book. It's very enthralling once you start reading it. Everything you need to know to survive at Majiksei is in there. All the spells that my foremothers used as well. Every descendant of mine who has had the book has their whole history stored in its pages. It's wonderful and truly interesting."
Shin finally worked up the nerve to ask her something. "......Even stuff about your mother?"
She paused, as if deciding whether to talk about that or not. "Yeah, even stuff about her. Some stuff I really didn't want to know. I didn't feel sorry about Aunt Timeless' death after reading about how she killed my mother after giving birth to me for the book. She didn't die from childbirth, but from the poison her sister Timeless slipped into the cup of water that she drank during the whole thing."
Shin's eyes widened. This hideous murder had gone on right under all of the Kaio's noses!!! And how had this Lady Timeless gotten to the Dai Kaioshin's palace unnoticed?!? If she could, then what prevented other Majikxcians from coming in and reeking havoc upon the Kaio's?
*This isn't good*
"She did it?!?!? How did she get to Kaioshin-kai unnoticed?!?", Shin asked, horrified by the thought of mysterious people lurking around there without him knowing anything about it.
"I'm not sure. I do know that the book instructed her to do so, however, or she wouldn't have tried something so daring. The Kaios are the only people that the Majikxcians fear."
Shin tried to then calm himself down. All of this information at once was quite hard to digest. He stared at his surroundings of beauty. Could Lady Timeless have hid out here while waiting for the right moment to come and kill Lady Evermore?
*How can these people be so ruthless?!?*
"I'm not sure. They are just born that way I think. It's the way they were raised and it is what they are used to." Infinity stated.
Shin stared at her again. How often did she read his mind?!?
She smirked. "Sorry, sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. Plus you think quite loudly. It's hard to ignore."
He just stared at her. She was quite amazing. It was a wonder that she herself couldn't defeat Majin Buu. This fact scared the Kaioshin out of his wits. If she can't do it then who can?
"This may sound strange, but I might just be able to defeat Majin Buu."
"You can?" Shin said, jumping up, getting totally excited. If she could then the universe would be saved!!!
"I don't know. See, I don't even know my own limits. They change a lot. I figure out I can do things sometimes that I had tried before and could not do. It's rather odd in that nature. I notice powers that I didn't know I had. When I discover them they are recorded in the book, to wait for the next person who will obtain the book."
"UNIVERSE!!!", Shin said rather loudly. He hadn't come across that thought yet. How stupid of him! "What if the book sends someone to take your place!?!"
"Don't worry about that. I don't have any family left to take the book from me, so all is safe for now. I don't have to worry until I have a child, which won't be anytime soon."
"Ah.....good.", he said, relieved. He didn't want her to leave this world just yet. Not when she had so much to live for.
There was quiet. The two of them watched as Gohan was slowly having his mystical powers brought out of him. Rou Dai Kaioshin was watching some exercise video with girls working out, practically drooling on himself. Other than that, the planet they were on was quite peaceful and lovely.
"You know", Shin said slowly, "If you want to be the Dai Kaioshin, I must let you. You seem to be more qualified than me and the position really was supposed to go to you anyhow. If you want it, it is yours."
She looked him straight in the eye, then replied, "I don't want your job. You do good at it and have much more experience than I. I truly have no desire for the job anyhow."
"Ok then."
They went back to the silence. Infinity finally decided to continue her story.
"Well, after learning the book, I practiced my Majik for a long time at Majiksei. I sort of gave up my good side for that amount of time. I was just like a normal Majikxcian. I killed, stole, and cheated my way to every victory of my life. The good was gone."
"I was truly evil then. There was no denying it. And my evil side is much more powerful than me right now. I'm sure that Shadow Infinity could defeat Majin Buu in a millisecond. However, she is much to dangerous to bring out. She is a last resort. Once she is out, I don't know if she'll let the good back in. And then you'll have much more to worry about."
*Evil side?*
"That's right. When the Majikxcian blood totally outflows the Kaioshin blood then I become Shadow Infinity. She is truly evil. She has no emotion, no compassion whatsoever. She kills eagerly for fun. She likes power too, so she'd probably try to go after you if I set her free. Plus, she is extremely vain. A totally horrible person all in all. Someone you do not want to deal with, believe me."
"I see."
"IF ONLY I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON!!!", Goku screamed from the sideline in frustration.
One Dai Kaioshin and a rather surprised Majikxcian/Kaioshin looked over to see a nervous Goku pacing around Kibito.
".........Perhaps.......this isn't the time for our chat either. I think we should wait a little bit longer."
Shin could only nod. They walked over to Goku and got him to sit down. It might be a while before Gohan could go and fight Majin Buu. Goku was obviously having a hard time doing nothing at all while the Earth was torn to shambles, which was of course quite understandable.
"Here, you can watch the fight with this!" Rou Dai Kaioshin said and tossed a glass ball over to the group of people. When it stopped the lookout appeared in the ball. It was a clear image of it too. They could see the whole fight too!
They all sit and watch Majin Buu fight Gotenks, hoping that Gohan will soon be ready to go and take down Majin Buu for good.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Please review! I hope you enjoyed it! I'm not quite sure where I want to go from here in the fic, but I'll surely figure it out pretty quickly. I know exactly how I want it to end, so that helps a lot. Well, thanks for reading! Have a nice day!
