Time Can Only Tell

By: Ponytail Goddess

Chapter 9: Femme Fatal

Earth was so peaceful. Only two of the few beings left made noise. These were loud, violent noises created by Gohan and Majin Buu.

Soon however, this would change, for another being sat on a rock, unnoticed by the two. She watched, a smirk painted on her dainty face.

*This will be much too easy.*

Gracefully she pulled a mirror up out of nowhere. She looked herself over, making sure her appearance was appropriate. Yes, vanity was a quality that Shadow Infinity possessed. She greatly valued her looks. Anybody could tell that she was concerned with it. It was just how she was.

"Hmm.........beautiful, as always." She stated, and lowered the mirror for a second. Suddenly a sneaky expression claimed her face over. Ideas hit seemed to hit her frequently.

Not giving it a second thought, she threw her mirror at Gohan. A second later he was on the ground, the mirror having hit him square in the face. She smirked; she still had perfect aim.

The glass was shattered. He had shards of the mirror stuck in his face. Blood dripped down, and he made no movement to get up.

*~*~*~*~*

"Oh dear universe!!!", Kaioshin cried out as he watched the scene out of the new glass ball that Rou Dai Kaioshin had pulled up. Gohan was dead. She killed Gohan!!!

He looked over to Goku, who now appeared to be furious. Shin understood his anger, after all, his son had just been killed. A son that had been trying to save the universe, only to be brought down by a person from the same fighting side.

*No, that's not right either. Shadow Infinity's not on our side.*

"What are we going to do?!?" Rou Dai Kaioshin stated in a voice filled with panic, "She said she was going to come back here when she killed Buu!!!!!"

The old man was appearing rather frantic. Usually he was the one to keep his cool. If he was loosing his nerve, then what did this mean to the rest of the group?

Kaioshin was about to state that he had no idea of what to do, when he was interrupted by Goku. "If she comes here, she will regret it." He said, his eyes flickering dangerously between green to black.

*~*~*~*~*

There was only one person who didn't really know what was going on. That person happened to be Majin Buu himself.

*What happened?*

First he had been fighting with the guy who they called Gohan. However, he was struck with something which seemed to come out of virtually nowhere.

Buu slowly walked over to him, almost expecting it to be a trick of some sort that would make him loose his focus. He looked at the young man. He had a large glass shard protruding through his head, with many others coming from other points in his face. Blood was everywhere.

This could not be fake. Buu was certain that this was very real.

*How?*

What exactly had happened? Was there someone else here? Was that even possible for someone else to be alive? He had already wiped away the life off of this planet. Was it possible that he had missed a person?

He searched for kis. There were none. None to found.

So, why was he getting this feeling of déjà vu? That mirror had not come out of nowhere, that's for sure. Someone or something was there.

Buu was now mad. Whatever it was, it had killed his challenger. He had wanted to kill the Earthling! Now this new person would have to pay!

"COME OUT AND CHALLENGE ME!!!!! COME OUT NOW!!!!!" He screamed with frustration.

*~*~*~*~*

Shadow Infinity watched him from on high. She floated up in the air, her dress rippling with the passing breezes. He couldn't sense her. Yes, this was much to easy.

*I wish I had a challenge.*

The overgrown marshmallow was hardly a challenge. She knew exactly what his ki was, and it wasn't very high at all. And now he called for her to come out and challenge him! The whole concept of this was funny!

*A challenge eh? That's what you want? Yes, I'll challenge you. You'll wish that Gohan had killed you when I'm done with your sorry carcass.*

Now, how would she kill him? He was only going to be her warm up routine. She had the whole universe to conquer. Perhaps more. He was merely the start of her evil.

*What should I do?*

She continued to float in the beautiful blue sky as she contemplated the many ways that she could rid Buu of his life. Mainly trying to decide which one would be more fun for her and more painful for him.

*~*~*~*~*

The beauty of Kaioshin-kai was now ignored. There was a hard situation on hand, and none of their thoughts left the topic of Shadow Infinity.

"Where is she?"

Kaioshin kept looking behind himself, half expecting to see her there about to attack him. Not being able to see her was making everyone rather uneasy.

"Why hasn't she attacked Buu?"

That was a good question. Perhaps she was trying to get on their nerves by taking her sweet time. Maybe she wanted them to formulate a plan so that she could destroy them while they were in their glory.

When dealing with Shadow Infinity, it is hard to tell what she might be thinking. And that is what scared everyone the most.

*~*~*~*~*

Majin Buu continued to look around the desert for any sign of life. He knew something was out there; he was not stupid.

"COME OUT AND FIGHT!!!!!" He bellowed out. Nobody answered.

His patience had worn thin. He hated that the person had not show himself. What a chicken, to not accept his challenge.

Just as he was about to call out again into the windy desert, a pair of delicate, but extremely strong hands grabbed him. One grabbed around his stomach, the other covering his mouth. He could see long black nails on the hand that covered his mouth. He tried to scream, surprised greatly by this new person's appearance. He couldn't though. He found that he could not move at all.

He felt the person breathing against his ear. A voice then whispered to him.

"Boo"
