The Beginning of the End

By: Ponytail Goddess

Chapter 1: New Dolls

About 8 years later.........

Treasure smiled as she woke up. The sunshine flowed through her bedroom windows and felt warm on her skin.

*What a beautiful morning*

She quickly got up and got dressed, humming all the while. She put on her usual sky blue dress that was trimmed with black(think of the traditional Japanese-style children's outfit). She quickly brushed her long white hair, then ran off down the hallway to find her father.

*~*~*~*~*

"Papa-san!!!" was all the Dai Kaioshin heard before he was embraced by his young daughter. He smiled and quickly returned the gesture.

Now at 8 years old, the child was the light of his life. When he wasn't working to help the universe, his spare time was spent with her.

"Good morning Treasure-chan. What are you going to do today?"

"Oh, I don't know.......maybe I'll take a spar with the Grand Kaio."

He smiled. It was good that she took an interest in martial arts, and the Grand Kaio was the perfect person to teach her about them.

"Ok, just make sure you be careful."

"I will papa-san!"

With that said, she gave him a peck to the cheek and then ran off to go and do whatever pleased her. He smiled after her. It was going to be a good day.

*~*~*~*~*

"Did you do what I asked of you?"

"Y-yes ma'am........", he said, shivering in her presence.

"It is all set up?"

He nodded.

"Nobody suspects anything?"

"No ma'am"

A smile appeared on her shadowy face. "Good, then there's only one thing left for me to do........."

"A-and what is that ma'am?"

"To get rid of you"

He looked startled, as if finally coming to realization. His lip quivered, then he quickly turned to run away.

He didn't get very far.

*~*~*~*~*

"What are you reading grandpa-san?"

Rou Dai Kaioshin jumped up, being surprised by her presence. He quickly shoved the porn magazine under his bed.

"Nothing! What brings you here Treasure?"

She looked at him, smiling. "I was wondering if you'd come and take a walk with me. You could tell me a story as we go."

He thought about it, deciding. "Well, I don't know, I........."

"Please?"

Damn it. She was giving him the face. The puppy face. He wondered if she knew that he was controlled by that sweet innocent face.

He sighed. "Very well. What one do you want to hear?"

"How about the one about Majin Buu's second attack."

"Aw.....I've told you that one thousands of times."

"Ok then, how about you tell me a new one."

He thought about it. To tell the truth, there weren't many stories that she hadn't heard before. She asked for a story quite frequently.

"Um......."

"Treasure-chan! Just who I was looking for!"

The two of them turned to see the Dai Kaioshin with a large smile on his face.

"Papa-san! I thought you would be on business for a few days!"

"Well, it got taken care of early."

Her face lit up. "Yay! You're just in time! Grandpa-san is going to tell a story!"

"Is he now? Well, could it wait for a few minutes?"

"Sure thing!" Rou Dai Kaioshin said quickly, "Take all the time you need! Come and get me when you're ready Treasure!"

With that said, he was gone. Probably to get back to his porn.

Treasure smiled up at her father. "What is it papa-san?"

"I brought you back something."

"Really?!?"

"Yes, it's a surprise. Close your eyes and I'll take you to it."

Treasure did as she was told. She felt her father take her hand and lead her in the right direction. The more steps she took, the more excited she got.

Soon they came to a hault. He turned her around by her shoulders. "Ok, now you can look."

Her eyes shot open. Then her mouth opened in awe.

Before her was the largest dollhouse she had ever seen. It was shaped like the palace of the Dai Kaioshin. She slowly walked forward and looked inside the windows. It looked just like her home inside too! It was a miniature model of it. Everything was very detailed inside.

"Wow papa-san.......it's beautiful." She said, though she didn't take her eyes off of the house. "Thank you so much!"

She felt his hand rest upon her shoulder. "I thought that you'd like it. There are even dolls that go with it."

She looked in the direction that he was pointing. In a little black case there were several dolls made to fit inside of the house. There was a model of herself, her father and grandfather, the other Kaios, and all of the servants. It was quite amazing to her little eyes.

"Thank you papa-san", she repeated again, simply in awe of this brilliant gift.

"Your welcome Treasure-chan. I'll leave you alone now so you can play with it."

She heard him step out of the room. She looked at all of the dolls. They were very life-like. She loved them all already. She gently took them out of the case one by one and began to have fun.
