Keiko rushes home after he heard the terrible news back in the city. ' How could I have not seen this? I must be losing my touch….'
Flash back…
The blacked haired boy looked at Kadin. " So did you do it?"
" No… I was prevented yet again."
" Kadin! You're losing your resolve!" Karin said.
" I can't help it. Keiko is getting in my way! I can't do it with him around."
" What about the girl?" Ravi asked.
Kadin growled. " You leave Keke out of this!"
" Listen Kadin… she has weakened you! She has made you soft." Ravi said.
Kadin's power increased. He picked him up by his shirt. " Don't you go near her!"
" Kadin, you must do it soon… kill off Ukyo."
" I will in my own time."
" Well my friend… be careful… if you waste time, she will destroy you." Ravi said.
" Don't you worry about that…" He turns away. He snapped his fingers and then swings around. " Oh and yes… if Keiko shows his face in our town… Kill him on site!"
End of flashback…
' Damn that bastard! He wants to destroy all of us except for Keke… but I have a feeling there is more to it then that. He wants to use her so he can gain control… and the Sankanjins can take control of the planet. No… I can't let that happen.' Cough. The crimson blood appeared on his hands.
' Damn.. why do I have to be so weak… those damn Saiyans. They just had to make me ill… they want me to suffer and want me to constantly remember their existence. The pain never stops… and every day it gets worse.' cough More blood spilled from his mouth. ' Please hold up body… I have to let the others know… they have to find out about this..'
He reached the house luckily enough. He was so pale at this time. He opens the door and he falls to the ground. Ukyo heard the bang sound and ran to the front door, she sees her brother on the ground and screams. Trunks and Keke come running. Trunks sees him on the ground. " Keke! Help me get him to the couch."
" Right."
The two of them pick him up and carefully carry him to the couch. Keiko was trembling and coughing up lots of blood. Trunks was rather frustrated as he looked on at his friends condition. ' My ancestors… what bastards they all were! Doing something like this to a poor innocent man, and making him have such bad health… I must help him… I must do something.'
Ukyo looked at her brother. " Geez.. what was he thinking… he knows he can't spend so much time outside… his condition will only get worse."
Keke looked at her sister. " Do you think he found out something?"
" He did say he was going to check something out… I think he might have. But lets not push it sis… lets let him get better before anything else."
Keiko groaned. He opened his eyes and looks up at his sisters. " Uh… Keke, Ukyo… where am I?"
" Your safe.. that's all that matters." Keke said.
Keiko tries to sit up. He cringes in pain. Ukyo got a bit closer but Keiko held out his hand. " It's alright Ukyo. I'm alright. Listen Ukyo… I found out the truth. Kadin and his two friends are behind all this. He wants to kill both of us."
" I knew that scum bag was up to something."
Keke growled back at her elder sister. " Don't call Kadin a scum bag! If anything… I'd say his friends were possessing him… or treating him to do what they want. Kadin helped you out of the kindness of his heart. He didn't have to but he did anyway. Maybe he shouldn't have! Maybe he should have just thrown you out in the streets and made you fend for yourself!'
Ukyo was taken back. " Keke…"
Keke's face to that full of rage. " NO! I don't wanna hear it anymore! You blame Kadin for everything! He has done nothing to hurt anyone! It's not right Ukyo… you shouldn't do that."
Keiko managed to get on his feet. " Keke… listen to me. You know I would never lie to you right?"
" Uh huh."
" Well you must believe me when I say this… Kadin… he's up to something… I know that he is. He said it… I heard every word Keke… and he treated to kill me as well. Do you believe that?"
" No.. no… its not true! Kadin wouldn't… he can't…" Keke falls to the ground crying.
Keiko embraced his sister. " Its alright… everything will be fine… he won't get away with this."
Keke grabbed Keiko's pants. " No.. please don't kill him. He's not evil… he's not. He must be possessed! Don't kill him Keiko… please!"
" Don't worry Keke… I won't kill him."
" You're the best bro."
Keiko crashes to his knees. He was breathing rather hard and trembling from the pain. He passes out face first on the ground. Everyone freaks out. The girls rush him to his room. Keiko slept peacefully.
Trunks sighed as he sat back down on the couch. " I wish we could help him."
" Don't worry about him right now… as you said its me who we really have to worry about. But uh Trunks… what do you think? Could Kadin be possessed by his friends or is it just his way?"
" I don't know what to believe. I don't live here remember.. I just got stranded here. But to be honest… I don't think they have anything to do with it. I think Kadin is doing it on his own free will… he's much stronger then his friends, I can sense that much. But I guess only time will tell with everything, right?"
" Right. I guess that is all we can do, is wait and see." Ukyo looks up. ' Oh Keiko…. I just hope you don't run out of time before the baby is born… just hang in there, just hang on to life. That is all I really want.'
To be continued…
