What was HE doing here? I opened my mouth to scream for Siobhan and Mariam, but he covered my mouth and motioned for me to be quiet. Then, he grabbed my wrist and ragged me into my bedroom, which was the most secluded roomin the house. He went to say something, but I had quite a few things to get out first.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing here?" I screeched, "How dare you even think about coming back after what you did? You are NOT welcome here! Leave NOW!"

"That's not what I came here for. This conversation is not between Casey and Shin. This is between one of the Gaurdians of the Universe."

"Yeah, wll, this Universal Gaurdian is really pissed at the the Supreme Kai, so I don't care! You don't just screw a girl, abandon her, then come back 15 years later when you need something. It doesn't work like that. I knew from the begining that it wouldn't work, but you. YOU kept pushing. 'Let go,' you said, and I did, for you. You werethe only person who could make me cry, who could make me feel. I was close to emotionless when I met you. You brought that little bit of emotion out and then you crushed it."

By now he ws sitting on my bed, looking at the floor on the verge of tears. "I didn't know," he wispered.

"That wouldn't have been so if I wasn't left to raise out son BY MYSELF for 15 YEARS!"

"OUR WHAT?!" Shin exclaimed before he fell of the bed. "What son?" he asked from the floor.

"How could you not know you had a son? That's why I called you Kyudo, I thought you were him. You two almost exactly alike. But how could you not know.

"Well," he was still talking to the floor and not me. I never looked in on you. I was to afraid if I saw you I'd be tempted to go back, which I knew I couldn't do. I couldn't ignor the fact that I was the Supreme Kai. So I didn't lookin on you, I knew I couldn't take knowing I couldn't have. I hated myself for wishing for something to threaten the universe because that was he only way I'd get to see you. And it was only that one time."

"Well, you sure can tell you didn't have to go through high school health class. If there's one thing they tell you, it's 'It only takes one time to get pregnant, it only takes one time to get and STD.'"

"An STD?"

"Sexually ransmitted Disease. Hey we're getting of topic. Leave. I don't want to see you ever agian."

That sent him off the edge. And for the first time, Shin yelled back. "Liar! There's the problem with lying to the Supreme Kai, it doesn't work. You still love me and I still love you, whether you want to face up to it or not. But if you're still hard pressed on lying to yourself, then I have two requests. One, kiss me. One kiss. Then tell me it meant nothing. Two, I'd like to see my son."

"Oh brother, you gotta be kiddin me," I sighed. "Fine, but you will get to see him only, he thinks you're dead."

"And the kiss?"

I rolled my yes, "Fine, but it's not gonna do any-"

Five seconds...ten seconds...getting up to a minute. I could have pushed him away a while ago but I didn't. I had my hands on his chest but I ended up grabbing his shirt to pull him closer.

"Okay," I said when I was done, "He's out in the woods."

Siobhan

"What do you think is keepin Casey," I asked Mariam when Casey had been gone for quite some time. How long did it take her to refill a lemonade pitcher?

"Dunno," Mariam said as she continued to gaze at the trees that surrounded Casey's house. Then Casey came out, with no pitcher.

"Um, Casey," I said, pointng at her empty hand, "Weren't you getting lemonade?"

"Um, yeah, there, ah, wasn't any left. Listen, I not feeling well. Maybe you guys should go home."

"Casey, Saiyans don't get sick."

"Yes they can. Remember Goku get the heart thing that was upposed to kill him."

"Yeah, he was screaming in agony," I remembered, "You are not screaming. You're hiding something."

"I am not," she denied. I tried to see what she was thinking. She was blocking her thoughts. Oh yeah, she was hiding something.

"Yes you are. Spill it." I knew she would eventually.

"Fine. But you have to promise not to flip, got it?"

I did, but if she made me promise, I probibly wouldn't."

She took a deep breath in and said, no, wispered, "Shin's back."

I fell over, Mariam fell out of her chair, and Casey opened the door and let Shin out. Oh, I was definatly breaking my promise, along with a few of his bones.



Shin

Siobhan was going to kill me. I could see it in her eyes. I think she was madder at me than Casey was. Odd, the last time I saw Siobhan her hair was a pale purple, now it was blode. Not the golden Super Saiyan color, the human type of blonde.

But she was ready tear me to pieces, and would have if Casey hadn't stopped her.

"Siobhan, I know what you want to do, but you can't," she said. Didn't she want to kill me a few seconds ago?

"How could you protect him, you should be madder than me."

"Siobhan, just don't okay?"

I hadn't noticed Mariam, who didn't seem to have the intention of killing me, just kinda look at me like she did. But her thoughts showed she was, as she put it, 'pissed.'

"Come on guys," Casey said, "We're gonna go spy on our kids."
