Sorry about the short chapter, but I have so many things going on right now that it' hard to find time to write, and because of these hectic events, I can't even concentrate on writing. Oh well. Here's the chapter.
Chika – Near, to be close to
Takara – Treasure, precious object
Kiyoshi – Quiet
Leiko – Arrogant
Kane – Tribute, warrior, the eastern sky, beautiful
Chapter 4
"Takara, don't you think it's time for them to start with their training now?"
Takara looked behind her to see Kiyoshi standing, his back against a tree. He looked kind of sad. She wondered idly if the sight of being around her so much had saddened him again.
Kiyoshi tucked a long strand of blue-black hair behind his ear, and looked at her, his face as serious as she had ever seen it.
He didn't look too happy.
"It doesn't really matter, Kiyoshi. Kane is the only one who can defeat Leiko, and I don't even know who Kane is. All the training will be in vain, because Kane is the only one with enough power to defeat her"
What Takara said was true, but how would she tell the warriors … and more importantly, how would they take it? It was obvious that some of them didn't even trust her. Especially that Vegeta … but then again, Vegeta didn't trust anyone.
"I don't know how to tell them" she replied.
Kiyoshi wondered idly if she really did read minds. She was too good at telling what you were thinking.
"I didn't read your mind"
"Yeah, I know. You're just really good at knowing what people think"
Takara nodded. "Kiyoshi … we have no choice. We have to somehow find out who exactly Kane is …"
"Leave it to me. It might take a little while, but I'll try to do it" he turned away from her, and disappeared out of sight.
Takara wondered idly how Kiyoshi would manage to find out who Kane was.
"Brother …" she said, watching him. He was so at peace, yet she had to destroy him. He was a threat to her, so getting rid of him was the only choice. It was actually kind of a pity. They were so much alike, but there was only room for one of them, and she wasn't going to allow him to defeat her as easily as last time.
"I'm watching you closely"
She knew that they were aware of where she was, but they didn't' know her plans. She would capture all of them, including her brother's soul, and then she would be free to control the gateways to the infinite dimensions. They would all belong to her.
All she had to do was carry out her plan correctly, and it would all fall into place.
She chuckled softly to herself, as shadows engulfed her, and then there was silence.
Goten woke up, his chest heaving. No, it couldn't have happened again. These dreams had to stop. He couldn't physically handle them any more. He was drawn out and weak and he needed his rest.
He felt a shiver go up his spine, and he got out of his bed, and walked over to the window.
A full moon.
No wonder he felt this way. He sighed, and let his arms drop to his sides. He couldn't go back to bed now. He couldn't possibly sleep.
Goten looked out of his window once more as he saw a shadow move nearby. It was nothing.
Great … now he was hallucinating. He ran one hand through his hair, and flopped himself down on his bed. Maybe if he told someone, then the dreams would stop. Keeping them to himself only made it worse, or so it seemed. Goten made up his mind to tell his father the very next day.
