Hey guys, thanks again for the reviews. Now to be honest with you guys, I
really hate to say this but I'm getting really bored with this story. That
may be why chapters are coming out so slow. I've also been having a hard
time with my friends and it's seriously starting to get outta hand. I have
to thank you all again for your patience while I take forever to get these
chapters out.
Kaede's POV
I did what I had wanted to do. I was finally through with Rakiu. I had done my part. My father and father-in-law could handle it. I didn't care any more. I didn't care what happened to him. All I wanted was to be in Trunks' arms. That's all I wanted and I was going to get what I wanted.
I walked down the halls and corridors and did my best to try and find the control room. I wasn't having much luck. I noticed Tenshi up front and rushed up to her. She looked at me quickly with shock and grabbed my wrist, "Where is your bracelet?"
"My daughter took it off." I said taking back my wrist and looking sharply at her.
"Oh! If Rakiu finds out! Hurry we must get that bracelet back on!" Tenshi saidd, grabbing my wrist again and made an attempt to drag me down the hall.
"He already knows." I said yanking my wrist away from her, "The bracelet's on him."
"What?" Tenshi exclaimed.
"Yes. The bracelet is on me." Rakiu said, walking down the hall, his head lowered and he was looking to the ground. He held his wrist up to show his sister.
"This way Kaede. The control room is over here." Rakiu said, walking down the hall. He flipped open a keypad and pressed a series of buttons. A door opened and he waited for me to follow him.
So, I followed him and I found myself in the control room. Rakiu was sitting by the computers, swiftly typing in corrdients and such.
"Earth? Correct, Kaede?" Rakiu asked, speaking more to the computer than to Kaede.
"Yes." I said, nodding.
He typed in a few more things, before pausing hestitantly and then he spoke rather slowly with a bit of fear in his voice, "It will take a little more than a week to arrive at Earth."
"Why will it take so long?" I demanded, "Just turn the ship around and go at the same pace we did to get this far."
"We have run out of fuel for our booster engines. We'll be at this pace for a week. We don't have enough energy to recharge them."
I paused for a moment and took some time to think, "So you need energy?"
Rakiu nodded, "Yes."
"Hold on. I have an idea." I brought my fingers up to my head and focused on Chiku's energy. I disapeared from where I was and appeared in a different area of the ship, that I couldn't recognize. Chiku was leaning against the hall and Hoshi was well doing something odd.
"Chiku. Hoshi. I need you to do something." I told them as I walked up to my daughter.
Hoshi stopped doing whatever he was doing and looked up, "What?"
"Rakiu will take us back home, Chi." I said, ignoring Hoshi, "But it will take a week without the booster engines. So I need you to go FiraSaiyan and try to charge it."
"Well, first off why don't you just go Super Saiyan and use a ki blast?" Chiku asked, getting off the wall, "Secondly, why do we need Hoshi?"
"Because you're going to go FiraSaiyan that way the energy combined with the fire, will give the engines a jump start. Unless of course you wanna be stuck on this ship for ten days."
"No. I wanna get off this ship, but what about Hoshi, Miyo and Kaori? And Tenshi and Rakiu?" Chiku asked.
"What about them?"
"Are they going to come with us and stay on Earth?"
I looked at my daughter as if she had gone insane. Perhaps she really did feel for Hoshi. I sighed, "That is their choice, not mine." I began leaving the room, "Come Chiku, Hoshi. Come and recharge the engines."
I heard Chiku sigh behind me and Hoshi was muttering something to her. I didn't care. I wanted off this ship. I couldn't take it. We weren't even here that long and I was already longing for home. But how wouldn't? If you were taken from the one's you love, wouldn't you long to be home and in your lover's arms?
I felt for Rakiu's ki and used it to guide myself to the control room. The two were still muttering things behind my back. I stepped into the room to find Tenshi standing beside her brother.
"My daughter can recharge the booster engines." I annouced.
"How?" Rakiu asked, looking up but not into my eyes.
"The ki will jump start it and the fire will keep it going." I explained.
"Why is Hoshi here?"
"The closer she is to the him the stronger she is in FiraSaiyan." I turned and faced my daughter and Hoshi, "Hold hands." I commanded.
My daughter looked at me and was about to flip, but Hoshi wasted no time and quickly held Chiku's hand. She looked at him confused, but sighed, "Where is the engine?"
"It is connected here." Tenshi said, showing my daughter the wires and such.
She took a deep breath. This would only be her second time going FiraSaiyan. I watched as Hoshi gripped her hand tighter, a sign of wishing her luck. She nodded her head and in seconds fire was swirling around her and her beautiful lavender and ebony hair had turned a flaming red.
Holding Hoshi's hand, she hopped over to the wires. She held her hand out and created a small ball of energy. With her free hand, she formed it into a long stick and brought it down to where the wires were. She began fidiling around with it, until,
'BOOM!'
Chiku immeditaly fell from FiraSaiyan and into Hoshi's arms. I looked at Rakiu and Tenshi, "What's going on?"
"We're being fired at, but the engines should start in 20 seconds." Rakiu said, as he scanned the database.
Begeta, Goten, Kaori and Miyo rushed into the room side by side. They looked at Hoshi to Chiku to Tenshi to Rakiu and last but not least they all looked at me and waited for my answer.
"15 seconds." Rakiu said.
Suddenly, the ship jolted and began favoring one side. It began to tip, ever so slowly. Kaede watched as everyone began to panic. She didn't know what to do.
::Trunks!:: She shouted in mind.
::Les?::
::It's Kaede now, Trunks. Listen we need help. Our ship is being fired on and we don't know by who. Its already starting to tip.::
::I don't know what to do, Le-Kaede. Have you tried putting up the force fields?" Trunks asked.
::No, I'l try hold on.::
"10 seconds." Rakiu said.
The ship was now half way over and everyone who didn't have the ki bracelet on was flying and those who couldn't fly were being held.
"Can we set up force fields?" I asked.
Rakiu shook his head, "No. Its too late and by the looks of it, by the time the engines start to run the ship will be destroyed."
"No." I muttered to myself. "No." I clenched my fists, "Chi take everyone's bracelets off." She rushed as fast as she could to take the bracelet off. "Now everyone focus all your energy on the wires." I could feel the engeries shooting as everyone focused.
"Three...Two...Now." And that the time everyone used their energy to get the ship moving. The ship that was firing at us was now in the dust. We made it. Now we were heading home.
I couldn't believe it. We had made. I smiled to myself. This would be all over with. I knew what I'd do when we got home. I'd send Chiku and Begeta out to get the Dragon Balls and make my wish. I sighed, "Rakiu. Tenshi." I nodded, "Miyo. Hoshi. Kaori. All of you. Would you like to come and stay on Earth with us?"
Chiku, Begeta, and Goten looked at me thrilled, but also somewhat scared. I knew my question was risky. But I knew how to handle it. I waited for their answer.
"Yes." Tenshi said, quietly.
"Sure!" Miyo and Kaori shouted.
"Why not?" Hoshi said, a smirk on his face.
I looked at Rakiu, "Would you like to stay on Earth?"
"How can you ask that? I took everything away from you. I forced you to come with me and to bare my children and you still treat me kindly?"
I nodded, "Yes. I forgive you."
"I cannot, Kaede. You may forgive me, but I cannot forgive myself." Rakiu said, looking at the ground.
"If that's your choice, then fine. I hope you will change your mind someday." I said, meaning every single word that was coming out of my mouth, "Everyone get ready."
When everyone felt I sat beside Rakiu. I looked into his eyes. They reminded me of Trunks' eyes. Without saying anything, you could look into them and automatically know how he felt. His green eyes, the complete oppisite of Trunks' eyes. His was feeling guilty and miserable, his eyes gave everything away.
"Rakiu, please are you sure you don't want to come?" I asked, one more time.
He shook his head and turned away. He had made his choice. There was nothing I could to change his mind.
In a way I was happy. In another way, I was sad and disapointed. But I was going back home and that's what mattered to me. At least the hardest part was over.
::Trunks?::
::Did the force field work?:: Trunks asked, immediately.
::No, but I found another way. Oh and guess what?::
::What?::
::We're on our way home.::
I'm real sorry that chapter took so long to get out. But when I first started writing this chapter I was in a really bad mood and just didn't want to do anything. But by the time I got half way through, I ended up with a really nice boyfriend, who also loves DBZ and I've been in the best mood ever since. Unfortuatly, I won't be writing chapters any faster. I'm still bored with this story and I've seriously been thinking about discontinuing the story. We'll see in the end. Byez!
