Last Time: The bodies of Bailey's two sister's and brother were found. Only the brother is still just barely alive.
Chapter 12 – Appearances
"Please, help him! He's still alive!" The shout seemed to have started a race. There wasn't a nanosecond that went by before they moved in. Goku Jr. took her brother out of her arms and stood up.
"Where can we put him Bulma?" Goku asked, his voice not as calm as he would have liked it to be. Bulma muttered something, which Goku seemed to have caught, even though Bailey hadn't heard. Her mind seemed to have gone into overdrive, her brother was alive, but for how long?
Bailey suddenly realized what they needed. "Goku!" Goku Jr. turned to her. "No, not you, you idiot, take my brother to a safe place!" She yelled, looking glaring at him. She turned around to face Goku Sr. "You! You need to go to Korin's tower and get one of those … oh what do you call it? Those beans? Argh!"
"Senzu beans?" Krillin asked helpfully.
"Yes! You need to get a senzu bean, for my brother, please," she begged. Goku smiled at her.
"No problem," he said as he instant transmitted it out of there. It took Bailey by surprise. She had known he could do it, but she hadn't actually seen it before.
Bailey's mind didn't stay on the topic, she quickly made her way in the direction that Goku and Bulma had went. Then stopped. What about her sisters? She looked back at their bodies, mangled and distorted. What had happened? She couldn't just leave them, but she couldn't not go to her brother. Oh, she didn't know what to do. Her head swiveled in the two directions. Piccolo came up to her. "I'll take care of your sister's bodies, go to your brother." Bailey was about to ask what he was going to do with the bodies, then thought about it. She didn't want to know. She muttered a thank you, and ran to her brothers room.
She entered the room, just as Goku instant transmitted it to the room himself. They, or more like Bailey, ran into each other. Bailey however, hardly noticed. She went straight to her brother's bed side. His brown hair was mused, and green eyes that they had both inherited from their mother, were closed. Bailey quietly ran her fingers through her hair, as she always did to bother him. "Here's the senzu bean," Goku sr. whispered, handing it to her, a big reassuring smile on his face. The bean was so small, and for a fraction of a second, she was terrified it wouldn't work. But all fear vanished as the two Goku's smiled at her with confidence. She slipped the little bean into her brother's mouth and hoped to god it worked. Then she started to feel his ki rise. It was the most amazing thing she had ever felt, and the best. She let out a tear of joy as Kyle slowly opened his eyes.
"Bailey?" He murmured, as if unsure that what he saw was true. Emotion caught in the back of her throat, so, unable to talk, she merely nodded. A tear freely fell from her eyes, but she didn't care. A smile brightened his face, then it dimmed. "Am I dead?"
"No … " she whispered. At this, the tears started to flow in earnest. "No. You're still alive."
That was all Kyle had needed he jumped up and into Bailey's arms, his force knocking her down onto her butt. They just laughed, and cried, and clung to each other, both afraid to let go. Finally Kyle broke off. "We thought you were dead! Where were you? Why didn't you come home? Even mom missed you! And we waited for months, and months. Why are you crying? Hey, where are we?" Kyle broke off his stream of questions as he glanced around the room. It was one of the many guestrooms. This one was all in whites and creams. Bulma and the Goku's were standing in the corner giving the two siblings time to catch up and so was the rest of the gang, except Piccolo. She was surprised that she hadn't sensed them come in. Then again, she had been a little caught up. Bailey could tell that Kyle recognized them immediately. "Are those … who I think they are?"
Bailey had to laugh. She stood up and grabbed her brother's hand, leading him over to the group of people. Luckily the guest room was a large room, for all the people wouldn't have fit in a regular sized room. "Guys, this is my brother, Kyle William Henry Leflet. Kyle, I know you know who all these people are, but you might not know who he is." She said as she gestured to Goku Jr. "This is Goku Son, but he isn't him (points to Goku Sr.) he is his great, great grandson."
"I know!" Kyle said smiling. "Did you not see that movie I bought?"
"I'm afraid I didn't."
"Too bad, it was pretty good. Pan got sick and was in the hospital and he had to find the Dragonballs to wish her health back and he became friends with Puck and he met his great, great grandfather." He said all in one breath. Goku winced, he remembered that adventure clearly. His fear had almost caused the death of Puck. He had made a vow never to let fear be an issue, and so far he had to say he was doing a pretty good job. "But what's he, a post GT, doing with the Z gang?"
Bailey raised her eyebrow. "In English please."
Kyle sighed and rolled his eyes. At the age of seven, he liked it when he knew more then his sisters. The thought of their sisters, Bailey stopped him before he could continue. "There is something I need to talk to you about," Bailey said. She picked him up, like she had so many times in the past. She couldn't help but notice that he was getting too big for it. She quickly sat down, with him on his lap. The others, as quietly as they had entered, left without a word. Goku Jr. gave her shoulder a slight squeeze.
Kyle noticed it and his eyes widened. Having three older sister's had made Kyle an expert on being able to tell who were couples, and how long they would last. "You two are going out!" He yelled, not even asking them. "That's so cool!" Goku blushed furiously, then muttered how he would give them some time alone, and quickly made an escape.
Once he had left Bailey took a deep breath. "Mimi and Ginny … they're dead." She blurted it out quickly.
Silence filled the room. "How?" Kyle asked, not looking at Bailey. His eyes were stubbornly fixed on the floor.
"We don't know how," Bailey said, gently ruffling his hair, more to calm herself down then to calm Kyle down. If ever there was a time she needed to be strong, it was now. She retold him everything that had happened since she had got here. Then, once the story was finished she held him while he cried. "It's okay to cry," she muttered as she stroked his hair, fighting back her own tears.
When he calmed down more, he told Bailey that Molly had been missing for the past week. They police had been searching, but they couldn't find any trace of where she had gone. They were still searching.
He then told her his own story. Wiping his tears away, he explained that he had just come home from school, when he had heard a noise upstairs. He had thought it had been either Mimi or Ginny, since they had both come home from university when she had disappeared. However when he had went up the stairs, there had been all this 'blue smoke' as Kyle put it. He said it seemed to choke him, and that he had got dizzy. The last thing he had felt, before waking on the bed in the CC, was some one pulling him away, dragging him.
The story was so much like Bailey's that it sent a shiver through her body.
When Kyle had finally fallen asleep, Bailey made her way back to the large living room, the wake had been in. Now however, it wasn't half as joyful. Bailey was exhausted, and the very sight of all those people made her want to gag. She walked up to Bulma and Vegeta. "Thank you for letting me hold a wake here for Molly, but I'm really tired. I think I'm just going to go to bed. Please, excuse me." As she turned around, she heard Videl scream. There in the window was the blue mist. It was just swirling around and around. But there was something different about it.
It was darker then usual. It wasn't as solid of colour as the mist, but more solid in density. "It's not the mist," she yelled, before they would try to blast it into the next dimension. And it was a good thing too, that she stopped them when she did. For out of the portal acme a person. As he stood up he smirked at Goku and Bailey. "Did I miss anything?" Vegeta asked.
Yes! I've been looking forward in getting Vegeta Jr. back into the story. If your confused about how he got there and stuff ... don't worry. next time will explain it. Hope you enjoyed. And Happy Easter!
