Welcome back to The History of Infinity! Sorry that it has taken so long
for me to put this up, but I have been hard at work on its sister story,
Time Can Only Tell, which will be completed in the very near future.
However, I needed a little break from it. Well, enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 6: The Troubled Heart
The next morning the sun shined the same as it always did. A breeze of air that was so clean and clear that it literally sparkled as it blew. This was normal for the planet of the East Kaioshin.
However, the child was no longer the same at all.
Kaioshin had woken up this morning to find her outside already. She was sitting in a grassy area, staring off into nothingness. Tears glistened on her cheeks as her pain showed on her facial expressions.
And there was nothing that he could do. Not one thing.
He knew not what he could do for her. Earlier he had sat her at the table and put food before her, but she refused to eat. Her face had been expressionless the whole time. She had lost her vigor and spirit. She almost seemed lifeless, like a wilted flower.
He cursed at himself for not knowing what else to do. Infinity was obviously taking her dream quite seriously. He wished that he could do something for her, something to help soothe her pain.
Shin wandered outside now to offer her some breakfast, for she had not eaten anything since last night. Perhaps he could help her feel a little better as well.
He strolled up to her slowly, not quite sure of what to expect from her. He found himself staring at the side of her face. She was pale, much paler that before. Crystalline tears were hovering in her eyes, not quite ready to be shed. She didn't acknowledge his presence at all. She just sat there as silent and still as a stone.
"Infinity-chan? Would you like some breakfast dear?" He questioned quietly.
The only response he got was a tiny sniffle. She just sat there calmly, a sparkling tear falling from one of her eyes.
Shin fell to his knees beside her and took her hand in his. He noticed that her skin was freezing cold. Just how long had the child been out here? All night?
Slowly, her head turned to face him. Her lips quivered for a mere second, then she whispered silently, "Why?"
Immediately the young girl started to bawl, the pain of her father's death that was to come took her over. Her mind was filled with grief and sorrow.
All Shin could do was hold her. And he did.
She cried. And cried. And cried.
*~*~*~*~*
He picked her limp figure up. It was now nearing sundown. Shin was exhausted mentally. He had felt her aching heart as she had sobbed for those many hours.
*She must really have the power to make her dreams come true. No one would put this kind of mental stress upon themselves if it wasn't the truth.*
Infinity had eventually worn herself out. Now she was sleeping in his arms. It was probably not a very comforting sleep, but it was sleep none the less.
Shin gently got to his feet, trying not to wake her with his movements. She did not awaken. Shin sighed and walked smoothly into the building.
Down the hallway he went, stopping at the doorway to her room. He pushed the door open with his foot and slowly entered. He approached her bed and tenderly set her down on the bed. He then placidly put the covers over her so that she appeared to be comfortable.
"Oh dear Infinity-chan, I do hope that you feel better in the morning." He murmured to the sleeping child. He bent down and kissed her cheek before leaving the room so that she could sleep in peace.
*~*~*~*~*
The next morning seemed to be the same as the first. She was up before him as she had been the day before. He found her outside gazing into the sky blankly.
Again she refused breakfast, though she had eaten nothing in over a day. She did, however, refuse to move from her place in the grass though. She just sat there, watching the sky as if something extremely interesting was happening in it.
Shin sighed as he headed back inside, not knowing what else to do about the child's condition or behavior. *I wish there was something more that I could do.......*
He pondered this for a while and could not come up with any ideas on the matter. He approached the window to look at her again. This time, however, she was no longer there.
Immediately Kaioshin darted outside and walked about the planet, trying to find out where she had gone to or what she was doing now.
But he could not find her.
"Infinity-chan! Where are you?" He called out into the deserted planet.
Nobody answered.
There was no movement either. There wasn't even a slight breeze to sweep objects up lightly. All was still and solemn. This scared Kaioshin.
"INFINITY!!!" He cried out again, this time with a little more force.
Still no answer.
Now Kaioshin was scared. Where had she went off too? "INFINITY!!! INFINITY!!! ANSWER ME INFINITY!!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!"
However, there was no reply.
"KIBITO!!!" Kaioshin called out, running to go and find his faithful bodyguard to help assist him in finding the little child.
*Oh dear universe, please let her be alright!*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Did you like it? Please review. Thanks. I'm sorry that it took nearly a month to get this out. I was working so hard on its sister story that I nearly forgot about it! I'm also sorry about this ones length. I'll do better next time, I promise. I hope you enjoyed it though. I'll try to have more up soon.
