Sentiments of gip-k: -Hello! Welcome to the 13th Chapter of CWF! I am thinking this is probably the last one. I'd like to thank all my reviewers for their generous support. I couldn't have done it without you guys! Also I'd like to thank Watsuki Nobuhiro and Akira Toriyama. They are the writers of the shows and I'd really like to think them for putting so much effort and talent into making them. I am really glad they decided to!
Goku: (Yawns) So this is the end, then? I can finally go home?
Kenshin: (Gets the Battousai eyes) What of me? I am hoping, gip-k, that you have made the choice to release me.
Me: Sure, Kenshin. Goku… hmmm… I might want to keep you as a souvenir. (Goku looks terrified and I laugh). Okay, okay, you can go home, too. It was fun working with you both!

---Chapter 13---
After a few days of rest, the Z-fighters finally decided it was time to go make their wishes. They gathered up their things. Kenshin was still recovering, so Bulma had used much of her effort to transform one of her ATV's into something that could drive while letting him still lie down on it. Even Vegeta had to admit it was a clever invention- he called it stupid.
Gohan felt a pang of sadness as he looked at Kenshin being loaded unto the machine Bulma had so swiftly built for him. This might be the last time he ever saw him again, but that was the way it was. Gohan was very happy, for he was going to finally get to see his father again, so the moment was all together bittersweet.
Tien and Chiaotzu were much better, on that day- almost in tip-top shape. All was well. Piccolo had gathered up the dragonballs, and had even spoke with Dende and some of the other Nameks that were there. Dende was the new Guardian, since Guru had long since died. He was going to translate their requests to Porunga, who only understood the Namek language. Morri was quite shocked at the events that had occurred, and stated that he would be quite happy to help them. So that was that.
When everyone was ready, the group headed out.
"We're really going to miss you, Kenshin," Bulma said softly. "You're a lot of fun!"
"Thank you, Miss Bulma," Kenshin replied.
Bulma winked.
"No problem," she said.
"Yeah, she's right," Yamcha said. "You're a pretty cool guy. Are you going to keep those clothes we bought you? Huh?"
"I'll consider it," Kenshin replied sheepishly.
"Finally Kakarot will return," Vegeta said, smirking. He seemed to be in the best mood he'd been in for days. He turned to Kenshin. "So you're going back home today. Humph." Something in Vegeta's eyes said he was a little disappointed, too.
"You, jerk!" Bulma replied. "I can't believe you're not even saying good-bye to Kenshin!"
"Same old Vegeta," Krillin said, smiling.
"Hey, this seems like a good place," Dende said, grinning.
"Yeah," Tien said. "It seems good enough of a spot."
So the group stopped there. They put the dragonballs down together on the ground. Everyone took a deep breath.
"All right," Dende said, sighing. "Everything's ready, now."
Piccolo nodded.
"Summon the dragon."
Dende said, "rise up, Porunga" in the Namek language. The dragonballs began to glow, and thunder clapped in the sky above them. It began to change from it's lovely green to a threatening black.
Out from the midst of the dragonballs the dragon began to appear.
"ORO!" Kenshin exclaimed.
Finally, the dragon had emerged fully. It resembled Shenlong, except that it was even larger than he was- much larger. The dragon bent down to peer at them with eyes glowing like blood red flames.
"WHO HAS DISTURBED MY SLUMBER?" The dragon demanded in a deep, loud voice.
Dende responded in the Namek language. He told the dragon about their desire for him to grant them a wish. When Dende was finished speaking, he turned to them.
"He's asking what you want to wish for first," Dende said.
The fighters looked at each other. After a little deliberation, they decided.
"Ask the dragon to heal all of Kenshin's injuries," Piccolo replied.
Dende nodded. In the Namek language he asked the request. Immediately, there was a flash of light around Kenshin, and immediately his injuries were amended. Kenshin stood up, though he was still bewildered.
"YOUR WISH IS GRANTED," the dragon replied. "WHAT IS YOUR SECOND WISH?"
Dende turned back to them.
"Ask the dragon to give Kenshin a sword exactly like the one that was destroyed," Yamcha said quickly.
"Are you sure?" Dende asked.
All the fighters nodded. Dende turned back to the dragon and interpreted their request. Immediately, another flash of light surrounded Kenshin and his reverse blade sword was back at his waist.
"YOUR WISH IS GRANTED," the dragon said. "NOW, WHAT IS YOUR LAST WISH?"
Tien took a deep breath, as did many of the other Z-fighters. They looked at Kenshin dolefully.
"We're going to miss you, Kenshin," Chiaotzu said. "You've been a real help during the battles."
"I agree with Chiaotzu," Tien said. "It was great having you around."
Kenshin nodded. His face was serious. Vegeta spoke up.
"I suppose you weren't as much of a weakling as I thought," he said, smirking. "It was not even remotely nice knowing you."
"Vegeta!" Bulma yelled.
"What?" Vegeta asked. "Don't you know a joke when you hear one?"
Kenshin smiled sheepishly.
"Well, I guess you have to go now," Yamcha said.
"Yep," Krillin said, smiling. "Have a safe trip. Say hi to all your friends for us."
Kenshin nodded.
"I appreciate your kindness," he said. Kenshin turned his eyes down to Gohan, who was looking up at him sadly. He put his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Don't look so sad, Gohan," Kenshin said, smiling sympathetically. "I truly appreciate your kindness towards me- such kindness that I rarely find."
Gohan hugged Kenshin. Kenshin looked surprised, but then smiled faintly and patted the boy on the head.
"Um, guys?" Dende asked. "You know the dragon isn't really very patient so-"
Gohan released Kenshin. His face looked very serious.
"I'm okay," he said, looking brave. "You're a great friend, Kenshin."
"You are, too," Kenshin replied. He turned to Dende. "Tell the dragon to bring Goku Son to this very location that I am at right now, and send me to Goku's location, I say."
Dende nodded. He spoke the words in the Namek language. Kenshin waved good-bye. Bulma waved back. It was time.

Goku stood in front of the Kamiya dojo, training. Kaoru and Yahiko were with him, enjoying the great outdoors. It was an extremely beautiful day. Butterflies fluttered around the plush green bushes that were ever so abundant in the dojo, and birds chirped cheerfully in the lovely trees. All was peace- quiet. Tranquility.
"Goku, what's happening to you?" Yahiko asked, eyes widening.
Goku blinked. He stopped his punching and kicking and looked at himself. There was a magenta glow around him.
"HEY!" Goku cried excitedly. "It's happening! Someone's wishing me back!"
"Wait, doesn't that mean-" Yahiko began.
"But that means your leaving," Kaoru said. She looked kind of sad. "And… and Kenshin's coming back?"
Goku nodded.
"All right, Kenshin's coming!" Yahiko exclaimed.
"I guess it's almost time for me to go," Goku said.
"We'll… miss you, Goku," Kaoru said, smiling. "You've been very kind to us."
"Thanks, Kaoru!" he said. "I'll miss you guys, too."
"Hey, tell your kid I said hi," Yahiko said quickly. "And tell him he had better be strong or I'll whip his a**." Yahiko winked.
Suddenly, the black and purple swirling portal reappeared. Yahiko's eyes became as round as saucers. Kaoru's eyes shone with unshed tears. She waved to Goku. He waved back. Then Goku was sucked straight into the portal…
Kaoru waited anxiously, her heart beat quickening. She would finally get to see her Kenshin again. The rurouni smile and amethyst eyes were both clear in her mind. She wanted to see him so bad. The longer it took the more she felt like she would burst. She closed her eyes in an effort to control her emotions. She needed to breathe- yes, breathe.
"Miss Kaoru!"
Kaoru's eyes burst open. She saw Kenshin, standing right by the portal as it winked out of existence. She blinked again. Was he truly there? Truly?
"Ken-shin," Kaoru breathed faintly. "KENSHIN!"
Suddenly- everything else immediately disappeared from Kaoru's view- all that was left was the red-haired man before her. She ran towards him almost faster than he could to her. But he got there first. Kaoru wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close to her, letting her tears flow freely. Kenshin smoothed her hair ever so softly.
"Oh, Kenshin," she cried, sobbing into his shirt. "Why did you leave me?"
"Miss Kaoru…" he said tenderly.
Kaoru finally pulled herself together and stopped crying. She looked deep into his violet eyes. His gorgeous face held a soft, sympathetic smile, and his eyes were shining with joy.
"I- I-" Kaoru wanted so bad to say that she loved him, but her stupid old self broke down in crying again. "I missed you."
"I missed you as well, Miss Kaoru," Kenshin said softly.
Kaoru looked deep into those amethyst eyes- she let the look of them fill her soul. She continued looking at him, and he looked back at her. She dared to bring her face closer to his, and surprisingly he did not try and refuse. Their lips were almost touching when they heard a voice.
"Hey? Why didn't someone tell me?"
The quickly pulled away from each other and turned to the source of the sound. Sanosuke was standing before, a deep frown on his face.
"Sano," Kenshin, said, surprised to see him.
"OH!" Yahiko cried. "You are such an idiot, Sano! Why didn't you let them do it?"
"Because, someone was supposed to tell me that Kenshin was back!" Sano snapped back at him.
Kaoru blushed and studied the ground, she looked back up at Kenshin, who gave her a meaningful look and one of those classical rurouni smiles. She couldn't help but smile back. They let the two friends yell at each other while they linked arms and strolled into the house together. Everything was back to normal.
* * *
When Goku emerged from the portal, he was greeted with a loud cheer.
"Hi guys!" He said cheerily.
"Hey, long time no see, Goku!" Krillin said, his face beaming.
"Hi, Krillin," Goku said. "Where's Gohan?"
"DADDY!"
Goku could scarcely turn his eyes toward his son before he was caught in a big hug. He laughed.
"Hey, Gohan," he replied cheerfully. "Don't hug your dad so tight."
"Dad," Gohan replied, still not releasing him.
Goku ruffled his son's hair.
"Dad, I missed you," Gohan replied.
"I missed you, too, Gohan," Goku replied. "And your mother." Goku looked around. "Hey, this looks like New Namek."
"It is," Krillin replied. "We had to come here to wish you back."
"And Frieza came," Tien replied grimly.
"Frieza?" Goku asked, shocked.
"His father, too," Chiaotzu added.
"We had to fight them," Gohan said, finally releasing his father. "Kenshin helped."
"We would have all died," Yamcha replied.
"Some kid came here, though," Piccolo added in gruffly. "Then he-"
"Defeated King Cold and Frieza like they were cake!" Bulma exclaimed cheerfully. "And he was cute, too!"
"He claims to be a Super Saiyan," Vegeta said dryly. "It appeared he could do the transformation, but you and I are the only Saiyans that are alive."
After a little more discussion, and a lot of welcoming, they group finally left to go back to the Capsule Ship. It was time to go home. This time, Bulma flew the ship at twice the speed than she had before.
* * *
Chi-Chi was inside the house, doing some household cleaning, or rather, attacking the furniture. Oolong, Puar, and Master Roshi were essentially sitting around doing nothing. That was when they all heard a loud noise. It sounded like a ship approaching. Chi-Chi immediately dropped her dusting tool and rushed to the door. She put a hand to her brow to block some of the sunlight. It was indeed as she had assumed. Her family was returning!
She felt like she would burst. Why the heck couldn't the ship land?
Finally, the agonizing moments were over, and the ship landed on the ground. The door opened. Chi-Chi bit her lip anxiously. The first person to step out…
…was her husband.
And when she saw that man step out… she felt warm. He was so… muscular… strong. Was it just all in her head, or was he walking differently? Chi-Chi suddenly got an idea- a very naughty idea.
The moment Goku's eyes met hers she put a very upset look on her face. Then she turned on her heels and ran.
"Chi-Chi!" Goku cried. "Chi-Chi, wait!"
Chi-Chi ran into their bedroom and hid behind the door. Goku rushed after her quickly, and Chi-Chi hid behind the door, still smiling. Goku rushed in the room.
"Chi-Chi?" he asked, looking around the room.
Then Chi-Chi slammed the door shut and locked it.
Goku flipped around. Chi-Chi ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him, roughly kissing all over his face.
"Chi-Chi," Goku protested, trying to move his head out of the way. "Chi-Chi- Chi-Chi! What- what are you- what are you doing?"
Chi-Chi finally stopped kissing him but did not let him go. She smirked up at him.
"I just couldn't let you run off with Krillin and start talking about something," Chi-Chi said. She breathed hot air on his neck as she whispered to him. "You belong here, with your wife."
Then Chi-Chi kicked Goku. He was so surprised that he actually flew back a little.
"Chi-Chi-"
Chi-Chi rammed into him. This time he fell on the bed. She jumped on him and he let out a grunt.
"Chi-Chi gimme a break I just got home," he said. Chi-Chi began attacking his clothes. She kissed him more. Finally he gave in and wrapped his arms around her.
Then they heard a rap on the door. Goku tried to pull the covers over them- hard when they were on the covers. He barely got away from Chi-Chi's repeated kissing long enough to ask who it was.
"It's me, Krillin," the voice said. "Are you two okay?"
"Yeah- AH!" Goku cried as Chi-Chi pulled them both down to the ground. She started laughing from this silly mistake. "Yeah we're fine!"
Krillin finally found out just what was going on, and decided to leave. Goku was relieved… and happy.
They were going to have some fun.
