Chapter 19: Entrancing eyes
Time seemed to stop at that very moment. There she was, standing there like a ghost. She looked as she always had. She was even wearing her oddly-placed sunglasses. Everyone froze and stared at the scene.
She frowned as she did not receive the child as requested. Finally she became impatient and walked over to Vegeta, whisking the screaming child out of his arms.
Gently, she took the child into her arms and rocked it a bit, frowning down at it. It still screamed. Shin just watched with awe.
*Infinity..........?!?*
*~*~*~*~*
She stared at the child. Majin Buu, her father's murderer, was now a helpless child, laying in her arms.
*I could kill it.........be rid of it forever.......*
She looked into its eyes. They were a very deep brownish-black. So endless......... She blinked a few times, thinking she was imagining the child's intense eyes.
Now it had stopped shrieking and stared right back at her. It felt like it was looking right through her, into her soul. Suddenly nothing else mattered. Not Shin, not the fate of the Earth or universe, just the child's eyes.
".........Infinity.........?" She heard vaguely in the background. She ignored it and slowly pulled her sunglasses off of her face, the only barrier between true eye contact between her and Buu.
Then she was blinded by the light of his eyes. Power was surrounding them, somehow..........she wasn't quite sure of what was happening; it just was. She couldn't take her eyes off of the child's to look and see.
Where was the power coming from. Then it dawned on her.
Buu.
She stared into his deep eyes, looking into them questionably. Trying to ask why. This had no avail. The child just stared at her with his large eyes.
Suddenly she gasped as she felt the child grasp onto her finger. It had quite a grip for a young child. Still it stared.
*What..........why are you doing this Buu?* She asked mentally, trying to stay calm about the situation. She did not like things that she did not understand.
There was no answer.
*Buu..........what are you doing to me? Answer me Buu!* She demanded now, a cold sweat breaking out on her face. If he wanted to dispose of her now he could. She had not been cautious enough around his child form. She had not expected the power that he obviously had.
*I have been stupid*
*No, you have nothing to fear.* Came a voice in her head. She gasped when she heard it. She would have jumped, but she could not, being entranced in his big brownish-black pools.
*Buu?* She questioned, trying to be tactical. Perhaps she could get herself out of this if she used the right words.
*I have not come to hurt you. I have come to ask a favor of you.*
*A favor?* She said, almost curiously. What could this monster possibly want from her.
*I want you to raise my child-self*
*WHAT?!?!?*
*I have chosen you for the job because you know how it is to be different as a child. You are the only one of your kind and so am I. I think that you would to the best job because you know of my feelings.*
Infinity sneered. *Why should I help you? You killed my father!!!*
*Correct, I did. This child did not. He is starting over from scratch. He needs your guidance and help to get through his young years.*
*Do you think I have time to raise a kid? What's in this for me?*
There was a moment of silence.
*Nothing, correct? Why should I do this for you!?!?!?
*No, there is something* Buu replied.
*What?*
*I can rid you of your curse.*
Infinity's eyes widened and stared at the child in front of her. He could.......rid her of the spell that Bibidi had placed upon her ever so long ago?
*Yes I can. All you have to do is take care of my new child-self until he is an adult.*
Infinity thought this over as quickly as she could. *What's the catch?*
*There are no catches. He will age like a human. All I ask is that you watch him 18 years and treat him decently during that time.*
Infinity thought and thought and thought. *Can I take care of my father's killer? Can I do this? Is it worth it?*
She wasn't sure if it was worth the trouble. She was so young with so much life ahead of her. How could she settle down with a child now, when there was so much that she had not yet done or seen?
But then again..........no curse. The men would not gawk at her if the curse was no longer there. She would no longer have to where the universe-damned sun glasses at all the time. That would be wonderful indeed.
Infinity sighed. Somehow she had a feeling that she was going to regret her choice. *But I must try.........*
She now concentrated on Buu's eyes again. She gulped.
*I shall do it*
*Very well then.* Replied Buu's voice in her head. *I shall leave forever now. The child Buu will not know me or remember this. Do not blame him for things he has not done. If you try to break the deal, the curse will come back as well. Understood?*
*Yes.*
*Farwell*
And he was gone, just like that.
