I know it's been awhile. Atleast it's a bit longer ... not by much, but hey! I aim to improve. I need halp though. The next chapter will either be really long and the last chapter or reall short and there will be two end chapter's. which idea do you guys like? I think the longer chapter is the better idea, but it will take a bit longer to update. well, RR with your inputs.
Last Time: Some one or something broke into the CC ...
Chapter 15 - Spill it!
Bailey head snapped up at that. "What do you mean that they dont want me home? Do you think they plan to kill the rest of my family?" Bailey started to feel sick at the thought. She wouldn'tt be responsible for any more deaths. She thought of her mother. They had never gotten along, but they still loved each other, in their own way. The thought of her body hanging in the shower, or merely dropped on the front stair, terrified her.
"Yes," Vegeta Sr. said, with as much nonchalance as only the Vegetas can master. To say that this insight surprised the group in the room, would be an understatement. They hadnt realised that anyone outside the three of them had really been following along with the events. Though upon looking back, all the times that they had merely left the room instead of properly explain. All the z senshi probably had their own theories about what was going on.
Goku Sr. nodded his head in agreement. "Vegetas right," he stated.
Bailey felt betrayed. "That is not helpful! I cant be responsible for any more deaths! I cant just sit here and wonder when the next body will appear! I cant do nothing! You have no idea what its like to be sucked into a different dimension! You have no idea what its like to have people you love, people you care about, just, appear in front of you, dead! To know that nothing you can do can stop it!" Bailey screamed at the top of her lungs, tears rolling down her face.
"Bailey ..." Kyle said softly, trying to stop Baileys rant. Tears were starting to form in his own eyes.
Bailey however did not hear or listen to her brother. She was too far gone. "Have you ever felt this helpless? Tell me has this ever happened to you? NO! You stand there like your so smart, like you understand, but you dont! Bailey took a deep breathe and tried to calm down. Angry tears still fell, but her voice was dead serious as she continued. AI know that youve had people you care about die before, but it was never like this. It was never all at once. You were never the finders of the bodies. As much as you understand ... you have no clue. You never can."
She paused there and looked down at her feet. An awkward silence fell on to the group. No one was sure what to say. It finally got too much for Bailey. "Vegeta, get that stupid portal working. I need to get home." With that she turned on her heal and left.
As she entered the hallway, Bailey had to stop. The break in had only happened minutes ago. What if the person or thing was still in here? She checked the surrounding areas for any ki. Nothing. As fast as she could she ran into her bedroom. She knew it wasnt much, and if a killer was really out there, being in your bedroom wouldn't really stop him. But Bailey felt safer, like she had made it to home free while playing hide and go seek.
She wasnt in the room for a total of two seconds when the door opened. Baileys heart jumped as she spun around. There stood Goku, looking a bit uneasy. "We need to ... um talk ... yeah," he stuttered. He started to pace, as if trying to find the right words. Bailey rolled her eyes and took a seat on the edge of the bed. Quickly she brushed away any trace of tears. She had a feeling this might take awhile. She looked at him as he paced, until he started to go so fast he made her head spin.
"Sit down!" she said pointing right beside her on the bed. He slowly nodded as he cautiously made his way to where she had indicated for him to sit. She smiled, "I wont bite." He looked like he didn't hear. Too busy in thought, he sat down next to her, like he was trying to figure out how the universe began. They must have sat there, like that, for thirty minutes. That was all Bailey could take. She gently laid her hand on his hand, which rested on his thigh. He jumped about a foot in the air, causing Bailey to giggle. "Now I know whatever you have to tell me is serious, or you wouldn't have such a hard time saying it, but please just spill it. We dont have all day. Look at the time. Well have to make lunch soon, or else we have to eat Bulmas food."
It seemed to work. The very thought of suffering through one of Bulmas home cooked meals was enough to turn anyones stomach and for a saiyin, it was the equivalent to a slap in the face. "Well ... I was thinking ...you know ..." The pauses were driven Bailey nuts, but she kept silent. "If you left, we would have to close all portals into your world ... to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. We would never be able to see each other ever again ... what if you stayed with me, in my time?" Bailey blinked, she had never really thought about it.
"Like ... forever?" she asked, not really sure if she had heard right or if she had got the right meaning.
"Well ... yeah," Goku shrugged. They sat in silence for a few minutes, neither knowing what to say.
"Goku ... you know I cant ... right?" Bailey quietly. She removed her hand that had been resting on his. They both didn't look at each other, afraid of what they might show and afraid of what they might see.
"Why?" He whispered.
"I dont belong here. I should never have been here. It would be impossible for me to stay." She couldn't understand why he was asking her this. "I need to go home. Its where I belong."
"But you hated it there. You said yourself that you weren't as happy there. All the stories about your mother. Please ... stay with me." At this he turned around and forced her to look him in the eyes. Bailey reluctantly looked and wished she hadnt. The love for her was too much.
"Its not that I hate my mother, we are just very different people. Anyways if I stay, more people will die."
"We dont know that."
"Dont we? When the time comes I will leave Goku. I wish there was another way..."
"There is! Stay!"
"...But there isnt. If I did ... God only knows what will happen."
Goku turned away from her, his shoulders hunched forward, his back to her and his face to the wall. He asked, "Do you love me?"
"Of course, just ..." She didn't know where to go from there. She didn't know what to say or think.
"Just not enough to stay?" Goku asked. Before Bailey could say anything more, Goku ran from the room. She couldn't take it anymore, she crumpled down on her bed, grabbed her pillow and cried. She couldn't understand why he didn'tt understand. It wasnt that she wanted to go home. It was that she had to go home. If this mist was out to get the people she cared about, then by staying here she was putting all of them in jeopardy. Why couldn't he understand?
Why couldn't she understand? Goku was in his room, pacing. He would do anything for her, to save her, and yet she didn't want to be with him? She said she loved him and yet wanted to leave? He couldn't understand why. He couldn't understand why she didn't understand.
"Women!" He yelled as he flopped down onto his bed. He had to do something to get her out of his mind. Training. He got up to ask Vegeta to spar with him when there was a knock on the door.
Unsure of who would be coming to pay him a visit. He opened the door, and was surprised to see Kyle walk right on in. He took a seat on the bed, and looked up at Goku, as if expecting him to say something. When Goku just looked at him, he rolled his eyes and started talking. "I heard you and my sis arguing." He stopped there, waiting for Goku to talk. But once again Goku didn't know what to say. He went and sat down next to him on the bed. "Im worried about her." He said.
Kyle played with the cover of his bed and dangled his feet, which were too short to touch the ground. "I promise I'll protect her." Goku said. "She might not love me like I love her. But I promise I wont let anyone hurt her."
"Even you?" Kyle looked up with big eyes. They were as green as Baileys. Goku didn't know what to say to that.
"I cant guarantee that I wont hurt her, emotionally, but I can guarantee that I will never try to." Goku said slowly. He wasnt sure if the kid would understand or not.
Kyle nodded. "I understand why you want her to stay." Kyle smiled and went to leave. At the door he stopped and turned back to face Goku. "I wouldn't mind having you as a brother-in-law. Youre okay."
Goku smiled at this. He didn't know why, but he was relieved. It was almost like he needed the support of this child. "Thanks. I wouldn't mind having you as a brother-in-law either." With that Kyle went to leave once more, then stopped. "Whats up?" He turned back around.
"Thanks." He said.
"For what?"
"For making Bailey so happy." Kyle gave a sad smile. "Ive never seen her as happy as she has been today. Its almost like, even though all this bad stuff has been happening, as long as shes with you, shes happy. Back home, it was rare to see her smile. She always had so much pressure from mommy. Its just ... nice. She really does love you. So ... thanks." With that they both heard Trunks yelling for Kyle. "I gotta go!" Kyle said, as he ran out the door.
Goku went and sat on his bed again. He made Bailey happy? If that was all true, then why did she want to go? He shook his head and went to get a shower. Perhaps it would help him think.
She couldn't stand it. Bailey slowly left her room. She needed to talk to some one about this. So, she headed to Vegeta's room. He would be the most unbiased of any one. Bailey knocked but there was no answer, not even the regular grunt. She slowly opened the door, calling out just in case he was actually in there.
Bailey was surprised to find Kyle standing on the other side of the bed. Bailey walked towards him. "Hey! Whats up?" She asked cheerfully, not wanting to show him that she was upset. He walked up to her. His eyes seemed distant. "Is everything okay? Hey! Have you happened to see Vegeta?" He merely nodded.
"Vegeta went to the GR to spar….Can you fly us to somewhere private?" He asked. "We really need to talk."
Bailey smiled, even though she was really worried. Kyle wasnt acting like himself. She picked him up in her arms and took off, looking for somewhere private where they wouldnt be disturbed. Whatever Kyle wanted to talk to her about had to be big.
"There you are!" Trunks said exasperatly. "Why wouldnt you talk with me?"
"What are you talking about?" Kyle asked. "I was in with Goku. And when was I not talking to you?"
"Just now, about a minute ago! I saw you walking down the hall way to Vegeta's room, like two minutes ago and said 'hey!' and you just kept walking. Then you, like, disappeared on me. I wanted to know if you wanted to invite Goten over, you two haven't got to really meet each other. He's cool though don't tell my Dad I said that." Trunks said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you talking about? I was in Goku Jr.'s room for the last…. I don't know …. About twenty minutes. I have no idea what you are talking about." Kyle started to feel uneasy.
Trunks shrugged. "Well, do you want phone up Goten or not? We'll teach you how to fly."
Kyle nodded, as he followed his new found friend down the hallway. Trunks had probably been seeing things. How could he be in two places at once? He shook his head. It was most likely nothing, and he was making too big a deal about it.
Goku knocked on Bailey's door. "Bailey?" He called. "Bailey? I know you are mad at me, but please, open the door." He silently waited for the door to open. "Bailey, if you don't open the door right now, I'm going to come ahead in!" Still there was no answer. Rolling his eyes he walked into the room. It was empty.
The bed was in disarray, like it had been earlier, but everything else was untouched. Perhaps Bailey had gone for a walk?
Bailey, blasts, blood, mist …Goku grabbed his head. Bailey was in trouble. He could see her face clearly this time, terrified and beaten. Her green eyes wide with shock, and her mouth open in a frozen scream. The rest had been shadowy. He couldn't tell where they had been. It was outdoors, he realised. A park?
"Vegeta!" Goku yelled, as he ran into Vegeta Jr.'s room. "Vegeta, where are you?" He ran to the opposite side of the bed. There lay Vegeta, laying in his own blood. "Shit, oh shit." He muttered as he backed away. Vegeta Sr. ran into the room.
"What is it brat? I was in the GR, when your ruckus disturbed me. It had better be for a good reason." He grunted, frowning down at the teen.
"Vegeta's dead, and whatever killed him has Bailey. Do you know where she is?" Goku asked desperately.
