I don't own anything, not Sailor Moon or Dragonball. They belong to their rightful owners who had the brilliant idea of creating them. I am merely using their characters and storyline to make a fanfic for you all to read. Enjoy!

LAST TIME

She [Cosmos] could not vanquish him [Buu] for all eternity. Something told her that his being, his essence, his soul had a purpose to serve yet. She could not however let him continue with his vicious crimes any longer. Cosmos decided to kill his body but not his soul. Therefore he could still be reincarnated yet there was a catch. The only way he could live once more was if he promised to be good and keep his promise. Cosmos closed her eyes and the evil Buu was no more. The pink blob was gone and Cosmos stood alone in a ghost city.

(AN: I've been getting really great suggestions from people. I'm sooo sorry that I couldn't incorporate some of you're ideas. You see, I had already written the last chapter when Cosmos already killed Buu and it would be too late to use that. I'm terribly sorry. I didn't do that just to be mean. It's just that they came a little too late. Please don't be mad or stop reading. -.-, Also I was originally going to make this a fanfic where Goku stays with Chichi but a lot of the readers have been requesting for me to make it a Goku/Cosmos fanfic. So I'm taking a poll, please e-mail me your ideas or opinions by Wednesday, October 15th, 2003, that's about a week since this chapter is posted. I'll try not to make any of the characters make major decisions just yet. Please e-mail me A.S.A.P. though. Arigato ^.^)

NOW

Cosmos felt slightly guilty for trapping a soul in the Cauldron of Rebirth. She herself had been there on several occasions and knew it was not a pleasant place to be. The constant screeching and never ending wails coming from every which direction and not being able to do anything at all. It is a fate she would never wish upon anybody. But she knew that the only way to reform this Buu creature was to show him the pain which he caused other people. She just hoped that he realizes his mistakes and changes, soon.
Cosmos was about the return to her dimension, to her palace, but Sailor Pluto's message kept nagging at her. She know that deep down inside she had always known that something was missing. Until now she had ignored it but it would not remain passive any longer. It demanded attention and Cosmos gave in. Not knowing where to start, she decided spread her pure white wings once more to wander the planet a bit longer, hoping to jog her memories.
With no memories or significant clues coming to her mind, Cosmos decided that it wasn't working. The golden warrior still puzzled her. His soul was pure, very pure. It had intrigued her how such a fighter existed. Cosmos could tell that he had seem many battles and deaths, but his very being remained pure, his heart was so innocent. Cosmos had wanted to go on searching for this mysterious man whom possessed her heart, but seeing that she was going no where fast, she decided to take a break. Cosmos went in search of the mysterious golden warrior.

"Whoa! Guys! Did you just feel that? Rather do you not feel that?" Krillion asked the group just at the boys were going to attempt yet another fusion.
"Huh?" Several heads turned in his direction.
"Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to sense Buu any where."
"Hey you're right!" Yamcha exclaimed.
"But how can that be?" Bulma said as she jumped up.
"I don't know. Do you think that maybe he's learned a way to conceal his Ki like us?" Krillion said.
"I don't think that's possible. Buu does not even know about sensing another's Ki. He wouldn't decided to or learn all of the sudden. This is quite peculiar," Dende said as he walked into the room.
"Goku, you were just fighting with him right?" Bulma asked and receiving merely a nod from the fighter. "Well, maybe Goku killed him! Maybe he's in the afterworld now!"
"No, Goku, even in his SSIII form, could not kill Buu in such a short time," Piccolo grunted.
"Well then, Mr. Smarty Pants, just what DID happen to Buu?" Bulma asked as she was clearly getting ticked off by Piccolo's stoic voice.
"He's dead." A feathery voice bluntly said behind them. All the Z fighters quickly turned their heads to face see the angelic goddess before them.

'So these are the mighty protectors of this planet? They do not seem that strong. I wonder where than golden warrior is. I can sense him here but I can't see him. Where is he?' Cosmos wondered, ignoring the strange looks of curiosity she got from everyone.

'Wow, she does look like an angel," Both Bulma and Chichi thought.
'She's back! Was she the one to kill Buu?' was the thought that went through the minds of all of the Z fighters.
One Z fighter however was thinking something else. 'She's beautiful. . ."

"Your Highness, we are honored to have you in our presence. But we are all wondering as to your comment. Is Buu really dead?" Dende had the courage of asking.
Cosmos looked at the young guardian of this planet. 'hmm. . . He looks so young, and burdened with such a great responsibility. Like I was.' Cosmos gently smiled at the young namiek.
Everyone was taken aback. The soft smile graced her face perfectly, as if the face was created to smile and only that.
Cosmos gently answered the young guardian, "Yes and no."
Her answer puzzled everyone who heard her. "I apologize but what does your answer mean?"
Sighing Cosmos went on to explain herself. "The creature you call Majin Buu is gone, dead for the time being. However in the future he will come back. I have made it so."
"WHAT?! Look here lady. I don't care who you are, but you don't seem to know just how evil Buu was! He's been evil since the day he was created! There is virtually no way of killing him! Are you crazy!" Bulma blurted out before anyone could stop her. The rest of the people on the lookout backed away from Cosmos in fear of what she might do. For an instant Cosmos looked as if she were about to destroy the entire planet. However a look of mirth appeared on her face.
'This strange blue haired woman is very much like you Pyro. Hmm. . . It has been a long time since someone has talked to me like that. I've missed it.' Cosmos merely went on grinning.
Flabbergasted, the Z fighters did not know what to do. If what she said was true, then she could weiled the power to destroy them all without a second thought. Everyone began to wonder if she truly was on their side. If she truly was good.
Well, everyone that is, except for a certain fighter who somehow knew that she was good. How, he did not know. Something in his heart told him so.

Seeing the expressions upon the group's face Cosmos knew that she must reply. Being alone for eons did not exactly help her 'people skills.' The bubbly blonde who would never shut up when she was younger had lost her 'spunk'. Looking around she took a deep breath and began to explain herself.

"I apologize for the misunderstanding, but Buu was not evil by will. He, he was created to be evil. He did not know any other way of being. Buu is, well was in actuality merely a child."
"Buu? A child? Since when do children go around killing innocent people and eating them?" Bulma sarcastically questioned. (Quick AN: Sorry for the interruption but I don't mean to make Bulma sound mean, but I'm trying to keep everyone in character and no one else seemed "fit" to be saying all of this or questioning Cosmos like her.)
"I understand that and that is why I killed Buu for now. His soul is trapped until he changes. Until he decides out of his own free will to be good. Majin Buu will eventually learn and once he does he will be back. But do not fear he cannot return unless he does become good. He will be a great asset to you and the side of good in the future." With that all of the Z fighters were left speechless. All wondering if she truly had the power to control when and if a being was reincarnated. Bulma blushed a deep scarlet for her outburst.

After an awkward silence Cosmos decided to question the group about the man she was looking for. "Where is the fighter with whom Majin Buu had been battling earlier? The one with golden hair. It is he I have come in search of."
"That's my dad! He's the strongest man ever!" Goten exclaimed. For the first time in his short life he had a father. A strong father. Very strong. He had waited so long to be able to brag like his best friend Trunks about his father. Goten gleamed with pride.
"And just where is your father right now?" Cosmos asked as she knelt down to be eye level with the young saiyan.
"I'm right here" Goku said as he stepped out from the small crowd of Z fighters.
Cosmos looked at him, sizing him up in a way. She did not know how, but this man was able to change his hair color in a matter of minutes and grow it out in a matter of seconds. 'He truly is a remarkable man. Why had I not come to this planet before?' Cosmos questioned. She noticed the halo floating four inches above the man head and gasped. 'He's dead! But how? No one is able to come back from the dead without being revived or reincarnated.' Beads of sweat trickled his face and he was clearly out of breath and began wheezing. Several minutes passed as Cosmos pondered the apparent dead man standing before her. The others did not know what to say, for they had fear in their eyes, minds, and hearts of this powerful being before them. Goku however knew that his time on earth was running out and that he must say his good-byes now. Whether or not the great Cosmos was here. Stepping away from Cosmos's intense stare Goku walked over to his wife.
"Honey, I will be leaving soon. Because of my transformation to SSIII, I used up to much of my energy. My time here is being shortened," Goku wheezed.
"What! No that can't be. I lost you before and I'm not going to lose you again. Please don't leave me. Goku" Chichi pleaded. But everyone's attention was turned to Cosmos, fore when Chichi spoke Goku's name Cosmos gasped. 'That name, it was in my dream. The old man told me to go play with Goku. Could this man possibly know who possesses my heart?'
"G. . . Go. . . ku?" Cosmos cautiously stuttered.
