"Shove it Goku." Miyu put her hands behind her head and laid back in front of the tree she was under. "I'm tired of your bragging. You don't have to go flaunting your happiness at me. I said congratulations, what more do you want?"
It had been a nearly two and a half years since the group of earth guardians had been separated from each other. Aside from Goku and Miyu that is. Their relationship had grown since that kiss, the day that Miyu had awaken from her coma. But their love was like a rose; beautiful at first but it slowly shriveled up and died.
"What's the matter demon? Jealous?" Goku crossed his arms and smirked.
Miyu made her mood quite clear by the annoyed expression on her face. "I'm not a demon I'm a Shinma!"
"Heh. Yeah wha-" They both saw something out of the corner of their eyes and turned to it.
"Hey guys." A girl that looked to be in about her late teens, floated down from the sky and smiled.
Miyu got to her feet and looked the girl over, "Can we help you?"
"Oh come on. I know it's been a while but still. . ." She took her hair tie out causing her blonde hair to fall to her shoulders. She then pulled her black sunglasses off and placed them in the pocket of her jeans.
"I can't believe it." Goku's jaw was slightly dropped.
"18!"
"In the flesh." 18 winked and hugged Miyu then Goku. "I missed you guys."
"I thought you were dead." 18 tried to pull out of her hug with Goku but he held on a while longer before letting go.
"Yeah I know. I'm sorry I stayed away so long without ever telling you guys anything."
"Yeah well you should be sorry!" Miyu walked up to them and pushed Goku out of the way. "I'm your best friend, you should have told me something!"
"Uh. . .I. . sorry Miyu. . ." 18 took a step back from her, "It'll never happen again."
"Yeah well it better not." Miyu crossed her arms and took a deep breath. She wasn't sure whether she should be angry or happy and relieved. "You're back now. . .I guess that's what matters."
"Yeah." 18 looked around for the group's missing member, "So uh. . .were is he?"
Goku froze and Miyu turned her gaze in another direction.
"Oh come on. . .You guys knew I'd have to ask eventually."
Miyu sighed and looked back at her, "Gohan shows up occasionally. . .But he's changed. Usually all he does is start a fight, show how strong his is, and then leave."
". . .I see." She lowered her head to stare at the ground, then suddenly she jumped back, "What the hell is that!?!?!"
Goku's eyes widened. "What?" He looked down where 18 was looking and smiled, "Oh sorry about that, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on him." He bent over and picked up the young infant, "18 this is Bardock. . .My son."
18 nearly fell backward, "Your what?!" She looked over at Miyu, wide eyed, "You?"
"What?! Hell no! That's not mine!"
Goku smirked, "Could have been. . ."
"Huh? Did I miss something?"
"It's nothing 18. Forget about it." Miyu sighed and started floating up into the air. She was happy to see her friend again, but wasn't in the mood to talk. "Well I've really got to go now. It's good to have you back 18, I'll see you guys soon." And with that, she took off.
18 watched her till she was out of sight then looked back at Goku, "So who's is it?"
Goku looked down at the boy in his arms, the smile never leaving his face, "Linor's."
"Li. .nor. . .I see." 18 shook her head ever so slightly, "Well I'm happy for you."
His smile faded slightly as he looked up at her, "Yeah, thanks. . .So how have you been?"
"Oh. . .uh, I've been. . .ok I guess." She sighed and walked a few feet forward and sat down.
He sat down next to her and Bardock started to cry, "Errr. . .Uh, don't cry. Please stop."
18 was doing everything she could to keep her laughter inside as she watched Goku try to calm the baby down. After about five minutes she put her arms out to him "Here let me try."
"Uh. Sure." Goku placed Bardock in 18's arms and watched her as she started rocking him in her arms gently.
"Hush now young Bardock. . .If you don't stop I think your daddy's going to cry." 18 tried to hold in her laughter but a small chuckle escaped her throat. Goku rolled his eyes but stopped and shot a glance down at the silently sleeping infant in 18's arms.
"Wow you're really good at this."
18 shrugged and handed the baby back to his father, "I guess I'm a natural."
"Yeah. . .I guess so." He smiled at her in an odd sort of way.
"Heh." She turned her gaze from him, and looked out at the sky instead. "I guess I've missed out on a lot." She sighed leaned back with her palms on the ground behind her.
"Yeah."
"Care to fill me in?"
"Sure." The two of them talked non-stop as they watched the sun rise. The whole time, 18 couldn't help but feel a sense of peace within herself, ~I'm home again~
