The History of Infinity

By: Ponytail Goddess

Chapter 7: The Sorcerer's Trick

A certain darkness seemed to pass over the East Kaioshin's place. It was a feeling of uncertainty that left goosebumps upon the arms of both Kaioshin and bodyguard.

The child was nowhere to be found.

Shin sank to his knees, tears filling his eyes. They had looked everywhere........throughout his home, outside, etc.

Everywhere.

However, she was nowhere to be seen. Shin was feeling convulsions of mental pain coming on. Where had she gone?!? Was she alright? He was sick with worry.

"Shin?"

He cringed as he heard the soft voice of the child. Slowly, he turned around to see her standing there, looking up at him. They both stared at each other for the longest time.

Finally Shin cracked, "Infinity-chan...........where have you been? I was worried!!!"

With that said he went and embraced the child, holding her as his emotional stress totally sank in. He had been so worried for her well- being!

However, she didn't hug back. Shin looked at her again. She was just standing there with no emotions on her face at all. His eyebrow rose. *What?*

"Infinity, are you ok?" He asked her softly, looking her straight in the eye.

After a few moments she nodded her head slowly, as if it was a lot of effort to do so. *How odd*, Shin thought, *She usually cannot keep quiet.*

He was not convinced. "Are you sure you're ok Infinity-chan?"

For a few more seconds she stood there lifelessly. Then, as if it had never happened, suddenly jumped back to life. "East Kaioshin!!! There is something I must show you!!! Come with me!!!"

She grabbed his hand and gave it a few tugs anxiously. He looked at her, confused at her moods that had switched so very quickly. "Come and see what Infinity?"

She smiled at him, "It's a surprise! Please come?!? Please!" She begged.

Shin, unable to resist her plea, started to walk in the direction she wanted to go. The girl jumped for joy and took her lead and Kibito followed a few feet behind the two of them. She went on and on about how exciting it was and how he was going to love his surprise.

It was an amazingly long walk. Shin had not expected that they would be traveling so far. He watched the scenery change, seeing trees that he did not know where even there. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining high up in the sky. He gazed at the many lovely moons in the sky as a gentle breeze blew his mohawk every which way. Yes, it was a very nice day for a stroll indeed.

"Do I get a hint about this 'mystery place' Infinity-chan?" Shin asked as she pulled him along through the greenery.

She smiled up at him. "Nope"

He smiled back at her. The child was bringing large sums of joy into his life easily. Just walking around with her made him feel like a totally different person. He felt free from the stress of his job and more down to earth than he ever had before.

Kibito was rather silent as always, walking behind them. The two people in the front could hear the grass crunching under his large feet as he trudged along. By looking at his face, you would think he wasn't having a very good time. However, Kaioshin knew that Kibito always seemed to wear his intimidating face, so he knew better than that.

Up ahead was a............cave?

"Kibito, I didn't know that there were caves up here." Shin stated, a bit confused. He did not remember ever seeing this cave here before. However, he didn't go this far away from his work area very often, so he might be mistaken.

"I don't remember it being here either sir." Kibito quietly stated.

This stumped Shin. Though he himself did not get out very often, he knew that Kibito was out here all of the time and knew this place like the back of his hand. If he didn't think that it had been here, then it probably hadn't.

*Well that's weird. Caves don't just come out of nowhere.*

They all stopped in front of the cave and stared inside. Shin started to enter into it, but was stopped immediately by Kibito. "It isn't safe sir. I don't know how it got here, so we should not enter."

"No, it's ok", Infinity stated. "Come on, you have to meet someone in here!"

Shin's eyes grew larger as she said this. "There's someone in there Infinity?!?"

Nobody was supposed to be here other than Kibito and himself, with the exception of Infinity. *How did someone get here?!?!?*

"I don't know", she answered, "But you must meet him!"

"It is not safe", Kibito repeated in his monotone voice.

"Yes it is, see?" Infinity stated, stepping into the cave before Kibito could stop here from doing so. She looked back at them from about three feet into the cave. "See? It's perfectly fine!!!"

"Get out of there!" Kibito hissed, obviously upset about the whole situation.

Infinity smiled. "Kibito, you are getting much to worked up over a little thing like this. Now, come on in!"

She stepped forward and reached out of the cave, grabbing Shin's hand again. Gently, but with the needed force, she pulled him forward. Kibito put his hand on the East Kaioshin's shoulder so that he wouldn't be pulled in. However, he underestimated her strength. By grabbing his shoulder he was pulled in as well. The two of them stepped in at the same.

And fell.

WHACK!!!

Shin groaned and tried to get up. He looked down. No longer where they in the cave, which explained the fall. The new area was dark and cold. He had landed on a concrete floor, which explained the pain. There was a rather musty scent about the place as well, though he couldn't see very far away from him, due to the lack of clean lighting. Infinity was standing in front of them, as she had been before, not appearing surprised at all. In fact, she was smirking.

Then he noticed something else. Her black earrings, they were glowing. Why hadn't he noticed this before?

"Infinity-chan, what.........?" Shin stopped talking as a little shriveled green man walked up to them and put an arm around Infinity's shoulder.

"Hello East Kaioshin and bodyguard. I am Bibidi. Welcome to my humble abode."

"BIBIDI?!?!? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!" Shin exclaimed, wondering how he had come upon the Supreme Kaioshin's enemy.

"You owe it all to me Shin", Infinity said, smirking rather crazily.

"What.........what did you do to her?!?" Shin growled, knowing that he wasn't looking at the real Infinity.

Bibidi simply lifted up her curled silver bangs to reveal a large black "M" on her forehead. "Meet Majin Infinity, East Kaioshin. She works for me!!!"

Then, the two standing figures laughed at the pitiful East Kaioshin who was sweating with fear and surprise on the floor. Evil had just taken the upper hand.
