If there was one thing Goku hated than anything and it were mistakes. One mistake could impact the future. One mistake could change the world. One mistake could get someone killed
/He raised his eyes to find onyx eyes watching him./
Out of all he hated that he usually was the one that made those mistakes. Goku mentally kicked himself for letting Norankeo get away with Yuki's body. If he told the boy that they were going to being Yuki back to life this crazy situation would have never happened.
/The caress of lips on his mouth and along his body set him aflame./
Once again he made a mistake that would cause someone to get hurt. Goku couldn't help wince when he remembered the time when he was naive enough to think that Freiza and Radditz would change their cruel ways. So many mistakes that could have jeopardized everyone's lives.
/A moan of ecstasy slipped through his lips and for a moment time froze./
The biggest mistake that he had ever made was thinking that Vejita could actually love him. It was stupid of him to believe that the Prince of Saiyajins would learn to love a third-class like him and appreciate him. He should have never accepted that offer.
/His eyes became flat and as unreadable as stone./
The memory brought a wry, twisted smile to his face. He was stupid enough to think that Vejita would overlook his static and accepted him for whom he was. If only . . .
Goku shook his head furiously and clutched his hair, scowling. He couldn't afford to be distracted by those painful thoughts. He had to find Yuki and Noraneko before it was too late.
With a look of determination, Goku shot off toward the direction that Noraneko's chi was heading in.
"I hope I'm not too late."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"This is the tournament? It doesn't look special to me." Juunanagou stated watching as fighters from all over the universe spar against each other. A mischievous gleam shimmered in his eyes and he smirked. "I can take them all on."
"Don't get so cocky, boy. These fighters have been training for millions of years before you were even born. You see . . . " King Kai opened his eyes to see that Juunanagou was ignoring him to argue with Yuki.
"You won't even make it through the first round."
"You're making me very annoyed, Jinzouningen." Yuki warned, his eyebrows twitching briefly as he glared at his dead rival.
"Now, boys, there is no need to fight. We're here to have fun! Remember? Please don't fight!" Botan practically pleaded and managed to step in between Yuki and Juunanagou before they started to fight again.
Yuki turned his back to them, stating, "Just keep him away from me."
"Why? Are you scared to handle me yourself, demon?"Juunanagou taunted, smirking and Botan laughed nervously as Yuki shot him a withering glare over his shoulder.
If looks could kill . . .
"Oh look! There are seats open for the tournament! Come with me, Yuki." She shouted as she grabbed Yuki's hand and started to drag him toward the stands.
"But I'm going to be a contestant, Botan."
"They didn't set up the registration yet so you can wait a couple of minutes. Besides you can at least walk me to my seat."
"Kid these days. In my day kids uses to be–where are you going?" King Kai demanded Juunanagou, who was starting to walk away.
"You're boring me." Juunanagou replied, never pausing his pace and King Kai bristled at his words.
"I am not boring!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Maybe he should have gone with his mother and the other to find the Dragon Balls. It probably would have taken his mind off of his troubles.
Mirai leaned back in his chair and stared up at the ceiling, blankly.
He didn't mean for it to happen. The rage that he thought he had locked away along time ago had been released when he saw those icy blue eyes. The same eyes that destroyed everything in his world.
His eyes blazed with icy contempt as his thoughts took a journey into the past. The same icy blue eyes that had killed his teacher, Gohan and now . . . he had those eyes. Eyes that he hated so much that he was unwilling to gaze at himself in the mirror without seeing his face.
He closed his eyes and cold shiver spread over him as he remembered that unpleasant day . . .
/He glared at Juunanagou's unconscious body with burning eyes of contempt for what seemed like hours and his eyes never left the body for a second. Just a simple twitch would probably set him off.
Memories of hiding and fighting to stay live in that cruel world had haunted his thoughts. The memory that had haunted him the most was finding Gohan's broken body laying in the rain, stiff and cold.
It didn't occur to him that this android wasn't the same one from his time or that Juunanagou was as harmless as a fly as this moment, but seeing the face of the monster who killed his teacher had unleashed the beast inside of him.
Before he didn't have the pleasure of killing the androids in his time. Before it was just business, but now . . . He had another chance to get his revenge.
Mirai rose fluidly from his chair and as he came close, he glared down at Juunanagou intensely. Anger building inside of him at each step until he finally made it to the bed that Juunanagou was occupying. The fury almost choked him and his rebellious emotions were starting to get out of hand.
His hands slowly wrapped themselves around Juunanagou's neck and suddenly icy blue eyes snapped out.
Juunanagou made no move to stop him and stare wordlessly up him, but his eyes . . . Those eyes eyed him with cold triumph.
Like a raging bull, his nostril flared with fury and his hand tightened enough for Juunanagou's eyes to widen a fraction. He didn't notice the light dying from those icy eyes until it was too late and when he did notice. A panic like he'd never known before welled in his throat and realization hit him like a ton of bricks.
He just became something that he hated all his life./
Opening his eyes, he came back to reality and pressed his hand over his face convulsively.
The harder he tried to ignore the truth the more it persisted.
He was a murder.
Mirai gave a choked, bitter laugh as his head bowed and his body slumped in despair. "How proud he would be of me now."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He didn't mean for this to happen. He didn't mean to sneak his boyfriend's dead body out of the Capsule Corporation. He didn't mean to put him in a car and just drive off into the sunset. He didn't mean for anything like this to happen. It just happened. That's all.
Noraneko glanced at his rear view mirror to see the pale face of Yuki and almost broke into another session of tears. Almost was the keyword. He had stopped crying an hour ago and felt too emotionally drained to start up again.
He didn't know where he was driving to, but he knew that he had to get away fast. By now they must be looking for him and fortunately for him, his energy life was so low that it'll probably take a while to find.
His hand on the steering wheel clenched and he turned sharply into a parking lot. He needed a break from seven hours of driving.
He was so tired.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yusuke climbed out from the beach on his hands and knees and almost cried out of joy. "Land! Land! I'm finally back on land!"
"What took you so long?" Bulma asked, sitting on the hood of her car with her legs crossed, elegantly.
"I almost drowned down there!" He cried out in disbelief and pointed to the ocean behind him, furiously. "Did you know that there are sea monsters in there?"
"Well yeah! Why else do you think I didn't go down there? But I know a strong guy like yourself could easily take care of those big bad monsters so I decided you should go." She replied and it raised Yusuke's ego just a notch before he realized that she was teasing him and just before he could call her out on it, Yusuke noticed that his friends were gone.
"Where did Kurama and Hiei go?" Yusuke asked and successfully got all the salt water out of his ears as he stared at Bulma, questionably.
"They went to go look for the Dragon Ball that was close by." She looked her Dragon Ball radar and then smiled happily. "It's moving so that must mean that they found it."
He nodded and then pulled a small orange ball out of his green swimming trunks, which Bulma supplied to him in his time of need. "I found the Dragon ball."
"Oh great! That means we only have three more to go! I can't wait to see Yuki again." She smiled and then a menacing scowl appeared on her face that made Yusuke cower. "So I'll kill him for being so stupid."
"Killing my son won't be necessity, Bulma-san." Kurama remarked from behind her making jump of the car in fright and smiled sweetly. "Because I'll do it for you."
Bulma panted heavily and placed a hand over her heart as if to slow it down. "Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Forgive me for startling you, Bulma-san." His voice sounded sincere, but his eyes twinkled with amusement.
"Where is Hiei?" Bulma asked after finally catching her breath and looked around for him, curiously. "I thought he went with you."
"He was and he's inside the car." Kurama answered, gesturing to Hiei, who was sitting in the front sit with his feet on the dash board with his eyes closed.
"I didn't even see him get in..." Bulma mumbled staring at Hiei and then sent a warning look at Yusuke, who was about to get in the car. "You dry off before you get in my car, mister. I don't want my new leather seats to be ruined because of you."
"Oh come on! I'm tired, hungry and wet. I just want to put my feet up and relax too." Yusuke snapped, his face twisting with annoyance.
Bulma threw her head back and placed her hands on her hips. "Unless you're going to pay me for my leather seats, don't even think of relaxing in my car until you dry off."
Yusuke throw up his hands in disgust and demanded, "Then where the hell am I going to get a towel from?"
"I don't know. You figure it out, smart-ass."
"Fine!" Yusuke marched away, angrily, to find a towel and muttered foul words under his breath as he left.
"How immature." Bulma remarked, crossing her arms and then cupped her mouth to yell out, "And don't come back until you come back with one."
Yusuke flipped her the bird as he stormed away, never looking back and Kurama managed to hide his laugher behind a cough.
"What a jerk. I would have given him a towel." Bulma hopped onto the hood on her car and turned her nose up to the air looking snobby as she crossed her arms. "If he didn't have a snotty attitude and if he asked me nicely. Maybe I would have given it to him. Maybe."
Kurama merely shook his head and remained quite. He really did not have enough patience to straighten the havoc today.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After three long glories hours of searching for a towel, Yusuke came up with no luck and dragged himself back to camp. When he finally got there, it was dark and he barely caught the object that was thrown at him.
It was a towel. A large white towel that had the smiling face of the sun. How cute.
Yusuke clenched the towel in his tight grip and exploded. Shock and anger lit up his eyes as he turned to face Bulma.
"YOU MADE ME WALK ALL THROUGH THIS STUPID BEACH TO FIND A TOWEL WHEN YOU HAD ONE ALL ALONG?"
She lifted her chin, meeting his accusing eyes without flinching and answered, "Yes, I did. What are you going to do about it?"
Yusuke stiffened at the challenge and after a long pause, during which he fought for self-control, he forced his lips to part in a curved, stiff smile. "Nothing. I'm not going to do nothing."
"Really?" Bulma asked, surprised by this unpredictable man and regarded him with a speculative gaze. He seemed to enjoy her struggle to capture her composure. "You're not going to do nothing at all?"
He shook his head and he offered her a sudden boyish smile. "Nope."
"Oh okay." She looked down at the fire and if she looked up at Yusuke just a second, she would have been disturbed by the devilish expression on his face.
Kurama and Hiei shared a look of curiosity.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yusuke tried to suppress a chuckle and kicked sand out of the hole like a dog digging for a bone. He was caught off guard by a low yet interested voice and he was able stopped himself from yelping in surprise.
"What are you doing?"
Yusuke looked around nervously and then placed a finger on his mouth. Ruby eyes stared at him with great curiosity, taking in the site of the giant hole.
"It's a secret." Yusuke whispered and sniggered as he returned to attention back to his hole. "She's going to be so pissed."
To be continued...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
O-O; Hellooooo.../Hears crickets chirping/ I guess I scared away my great reviews. /Laughs nervously/ I'm sorry for being really, really, really late. I have no excuses for being late so you can chop me up into little pieces for being such a horrible author. It's not as long as the other chapters, but it is the best I can do for now. I will love to give a special thanks to my reviews because without you here to cheer me on. I wouldn't be able to write this chapter. Thank you. /Laughs/ I made it sound like I was getting a reward.
