Time Can Only Tell
Chapter 20: Acceptance of the New
A soft breeze blew over the lookout, but it was not reassuring to any of the people who were there. They all stared at the flames that were engulfing Infinity and the child Buu, wondering what was happening. She was just standing there, staring at him, as if she didn't even see what was going on around them.
They had called out to her, trying to reach her in anyway, especially Shin. He had no idea how she was here, but he wasn't about to let her leave again now!
However, there was no way to get through. They couldn't come close to the fire, it was much to powerful for any of them to stand the blaze. All they could do is sit there and watch as she was engulfed by the fire.
It was an odd fire though, like the one that had been around Shadow Infinity. It did not seem to char her skin, and she did not even notice its existence. If she did know it was there, she paid it no heed.
*Infinity......I wish I knew what was happening........*
"Damn that Buu child!" Vegeta exclaimed with an infuriated look on his face, "KAKAROTT, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING BRINGING HIM BACK!?!?!?"
Goku watched the scene calmly, ignoring Vegeta's comment. Vegeta growled as he got no response. He obviously didn't like being ignored.
Vegeta was about to scream at him, he opened his mouth, but then stopped as the flames around Infinity started to die down slowly. All was silent. The only thing that could be heard was her deep breathing.
The face she was wearing was almost indescribable. Shin had never seen her look like this. It was a mixture of awe and fear. Suddenly her glasses fell from her fingers, plummeting down in slow motion. They hit the ground and shattered, the glass not flying very far.
Her jaw quivered. Everyone just silently watched, not knowing what to say. Finally, it was Shin who stepped forward and slowly walked towards her, awe on his own face as well.
He cleared his throat then quietly spoke. ".......Infinity......h- how.........what.......?!?"
It was at that moment that Vegeta came out of his trance and stormed forward towards the Kaioshin pair. "I'll tell you what!!! It was that wretched brat!!! Kill it now before it does any more damage!!!" Vegeta snarled, raising his hand with a forming ki ball in it.
He fired it.
Bad idea. Quick as lightning, Infinity's hand went up and sent the energy ball right back at Vegeta. Vegeta had no time to react and was hit with it. He was thrown across the lookout, into Dende's palace, breaking a hole into the wall.
He immediately shot up out of the reckage and glared at Infinity, having already went Super Saiya-jin. "What is the meaning of this woman?!?" He sneared.
Infinity glared right back at him and it was obvious that she was the more intimidating of the two. "Don't lay a finger on him or you will meet your fate." She stated dangerously. Vegeta's eyes went wide as he looked into hers. They seemed to be burning with a flame of determination that would not be underestimated.
When it was clear that Vegeta was not going to try anything else, she smirked. Shin just stared up at her, amazed.
*Why is she protecting that.......that thing?!?!?*
"I have made a deal with it", she replied to his thought, "I will take care of the child from now on."
Shin's eyes widened immediately. Take care of.........it?
"What.........why are you going to do this Infinity? And how are you even here?!?!? I saw you die for universe sake!!!"
She paused for a second, looking a little weary. "I'm not really sure how I got back here either. I just picked a door and it led here, back to the living. And as for Buu, I will take care of him so that the spell Bibidi put on me will be reversed for good."
Infinity then smiled, a real smile, not forced at all. "It did work. None of you are wearing the look of lust!"
Shin smiled now as well. It was good to see her happy for a change. That's how he hoped she would be now that Babidi and Majin Buu were gone for good.
*Yes, I do believe I shall be able to be happy now*, She said to him mentally. He looked up at her and she winked.
*Do you think you'll be able to handle that child Infinity?*
This made her smile even larger. *Sure thing. Plus, if I need help, I know the two best babysitters in the universe!* She stated, smirking mischievously at Shin.
He gulped, having not expected this. It had been quite a while since he had been around kids. The he smiled again. *Yes, I'm sure Kibito would be delighted to watch another child* He thought, looking over at Kibito. Kibito seemed to be getting uncomfortable, as if sensing that they were mentally talking about him.
Then he had a thought strike him. *Where are you going to live Infinity? I mean, where do you live now?*
*I was thinking of moving to the Earth actually. It looks like a pleasant place to be.*
*You could come live at Kaioshin-kai with Kibito and I* Shin suggested, hoping that she would agree with his wish. He would love to have her around to know again.
*I wouldn't want to disturb you with Buu and all* She stated, looking down at the sleeping child in her arms, *You don't have to do this.*
*But I want to.*
She looked at him now, staring into his eyes with intensity. Looking for the truth in his words. It was a little scary, but Shin trusted her as she dug through his thoughts and soon enough, she smiled.
*Very well then*
Shin mentally jumped for joy. She was coming back!!!
Goodbyes were then extended to all of the Z fighters who had done such a good job at helping them with Majin Buu. All was merry, and they soon "kai-kaied" back to Kaioshin-kai.
Sure, life changed for the Supreme Kaioshin, but all was well. He had his dear Infinity back. No longer was he lonely, and no longer did she have to worry about Dark Infinity interfering with her life.
She had a dream of peace in the universe, and just like all of the other dreams she had, it would to come true.
And it did.
