For the next 20 minutes or so, Goku sat there shoving slices of pizza in his mouth until he had consumed at least 30 boxes. Kibito Kai just sat there staring at Goku eat, like he was in a trance or something. When he started on box number 31 (he was keeping count) Goku decided to bring up the topic again.
"So what's been going on?" No answer. "I mean, how did I get here?" Kibito Kai continued to stare like he wasn't even listening. Goku made the same stupid expression as Kibito Kai and stared in his face. Still didn't move.
"Are...you...even...listening?" Goku said it real slow. When the Kai still didn't move, Goku snapped his fingers in his face.
"W-What?" he said stupidly.
"You weren't listening to a word I said, were you?"
Kibito Kai thought about what he was doing for a moment. "Oh, sorry, it's just that I have never seen a guy eat that much, or that fast in my whole life time! I mean, I could probably eat one half, maybe one whole pizza on my own...but that fast! I mean-"
"Yeah...everyone says that" Goku said quickly to change the subject. "But would you like to explain to me what's been going on?"
"Sure I can tell you that." Kibito Kai sat there for a moment lost in thought. Goku figured that he was thinking how to explain this to him without getting so many details added in that Goku got lost and had no clue what he was saying. That had happened many times with both Kibito Kai and Supreme Kai, who technically was the same person.
"Can you just at least start telling me how I got here? I mean, I technically was dead. How did I get back here?"
"To simply say it, you were wished back. Unless you would like me to try and explain how the dragon grants wishes I'd be happy to-"
"Uh, no thanks Kibito." Goku sat back against a tree in thought. Wished back, eh? I wonder who would wish me back-hey! Wait a second? Goku sat back up startled. Wished?
Kibito Kai, who had just gained interest in a butterfly flying by, stared back at Goku. "Something the matter?"
"Now that you ask that, yeah, I do have a problem." He folded his arms against his chest. "How could I be wished back if there are no dragon balls?"
Kibito Kai sighed and chuckled. Goku looked at him grimly. "What do you think is so funny? You don't remember the whole black star dragon ball ordeal? Well I sure do, and I don't remember it being funny...unless you guys have been fooling around telling jokes up here the whole time or something..."
Kibito Kai stopped laughing immediately. He really hated being insulted, especially about serious times when the fate of the universe was at stake. He turned his head away. "For your information, I was up here worried sick about what the earth and your fate would be."
"Well sorry, I just don't see what's so funny about that whole thing..."
Kibito Kai faced Goku once again. "Well, I can understand if that's what you thought I was laughing at...it's just that I forgot to tell you how many years have gone by since you've last been seen...and maybe if I had told you sooner, you could have figured out that a new set has been made." He folded his arms and stared at the ground. "What a great Kai I am..."
Goku looked back at him with both a surprised and very happy look. "Wow! A new set? ...really?"
Kibito Kai grinned. "Yep"
"This is so great! What do they call 'em now?"
"Just dragon balls, really. At least to the people who aren't very familiar with them." Kibito Kai dug around in the outer layer of his uniform. "I know I have one here somewhere...I can show you If I find it..."
"Why do you guys have one?"
"To keep the idiots of earth from making stupid wishes, that way they last longer and there hopefully won't be any more black star dragon ball incidents because of all the wishes...oh yeah, and all the people who want to make wishes like destroy the earth or something like that..."
Kibito Kai's face look frustrated. "I know I had it somewhere...Here it is!" At first Goku thought he just had an ordinary marble in his hand. It was so tiny...but it did have the same orange color as the dragon balls he had come to know.
"Kind of small, isn't it Kibito?" Kibito Kai grinned at his treasure.
"Wanna see it?" Goku just shrugged his shoulders. "Here, catch!" Kibito Kai tossed it underhand towards him and Goku caught it with ease. It sure was small, but big enough that you could probably play marbles with it. He rolled it over in his hand to see the star on it. Would it be red, or black? Maybe a different color all together?
"It's...blue..."
"Guess you can call them blue starred dragon balls now eh?"
"Yeah..." Goku said as he tossed it back. He himself was disappointed. Goku had been hoping that the star would be white colored, or brown, both colors reminded him of chicken.
"While were still on the subject, exactly how long have I been gone?"
"To be exact..." Kibito Kai began as he tucked away the tiny blue starred dragon ball. "600 years, 374 days, 78 minutes and 5...no...wait...6 seconds!" Goku starred weirdly at him while Kibito Kai beamed with the fact that he knew this.
"That's pretty...exact...you memorize that number or something?"
Kibito glared at him. "And what's that suppose to mean?"
"Forget it." Goku started up into the sky "Man...600 years away from earth, and my family..."
"Umm...Goku...I do hope you realized your family isn't alive anymore...at least the family you knew..."
"Yeah...figured they wouldn't be around anymore." Goku thought back to all the fond memories with his family. He really did miss them...but sadly enough, he probably would never see them again.
"Then...who wished me back? If no one on earth knows me any more, why would any one want me back?"
Once again, Kibito Kai gazed around, lost in thought. He jolted up right suddenly. "Oh Damn it. There is something I forgot to tell you again...what a lousy Kai I am..."
Goku looked confused as the Kai sat there and insulted himself. "Well, if it's that important, why don't you just tell me?"
"Well...you know how I told you all your family and friends were dead..."
"Yeah?"
"Well...one of them isn't..."
Goku went through his words over again. "One...not...dead?" he mumbled. "Really? And I thought that I've never see anyone ever again!" He sighed happily. "Well who is it then? Gohan? Goten? Pan-"
"Whoa, hold it there Goku." Kibito Kai put a hand up to stop him. "Before you get all excited about who it is, let me just tell you that it's not one of your family members."
"Oh..." Goku said disappointed. "But it's a close friend then?"
"Yeah, guess you could say that. It's-"
"Hey, don't just tell me! I wanna guess!"
Kibito looked at him funny. He shrugged his shoulders. "Ok, if that's how you wanna do it, fine by me."
"Hmmm...let's see...uh, Videl?"
"No"
"Hercule?"
"No way! Who would want that idiot still around?"
"Just a guess Kibito, gheesh." Goku took a moment to think. Who else was there that was close?
"Trunks?"
"Getting into the same family line."
Goku took a few minutes to think about it. Now I'm getting there. But who else is in the same family line as Trunks that I know of? Goku thought. Then, after a few seconds of thought...
"Bingo! I know who it is! It's Vegeta!"
"Yeah...you're right." Kibito Kai, after being amused by this guessing game, was very disappointed to see it already end.
"But...but...how come he is alive?"
"I can explain it all to you, but it might take awhile."
Goku sat back against the tree trying to find a comfortable position. "Go on, I have plenty of time"
