In a blink of an eye the two days passed. Everyone who was going had arrived at the location to the platform. Keiko after hours of talks had gotten the people to calm down about all this and assured that things would get better when they returned and the empire would at last be at peace with the Saiyans and the lives of everyone living on the Kanjin home world would have their dreams come true. Ukyo was pleased that her brother managed to do such a thing and she was also happy that the people were not after her or her son's lives. Kadin was also very excited but as usual he was concerned that Homura was going to trick them or do something to prevent the rebirth of the Kanjin Empire. Keke looked at her 'mate'. ' This time once everything is settled among our races, Kadin and I will be brought together and our love will be officially recognized among or people. I can't wait for that day to come.' She thought.
Kadin looked back at Keke. ' This is the day I have been waiting for all these years… I thought it would be impossible for us to be together but now, things are looking for the better and we will be able to make a family together and our lives will never go back to the ways they use to be.'
Homura was in the control room with his brother. Aden sat next to him. He was in his ghostly appearance. He looked over at his elder brother.
" Homura?"
" Um?"
" Well I wanted to tell you its over between me and Jal."
" But why Aden? Why did you stop? You still have a young son to take care of."
" I uh well… I was wondering if maybe you could take him in… I mean he is your nephew.."
" Woah now hold on!" Homura shouted.
Aden's eyebrow rose. " What? What's wrong with my son that you can't take care of him."
" Aden…. I'm just the boys uncle… I'm not his parent. Jal is his living mother… he should stay with her."
" But he wants to be with you Homura. He adores you."
" True… but I'm not the one he SHOULD be with."
" But you already have a daughter… why can't you have a son?"
" Because he's yours!"
Keiko snuck up on the two of them. " Something wrong?" He asked.
The brother's looked behind them. " No." They both said.
" Are you sure? Because I'm hearing a lot of yelling from the back, and Jal was a bit concerned."
" No need to worry… I were just discussing Zanth…"
" You called?" Came Zanth's cute voice.
Aden and Homura cringed. " Hello son."
" Hello Zanth."
" Hi, Papa, Uncle Mura!"
" So… what have you decided…." Keiko asked.
" Decided? What do you mean Papa Keiko?"
" Your real father and Uncle Mura are trying to decide who should take care of you."
Zanth blinked a few times and then he looked at them. " Uncle Mura, Papa… is that true?"
" Yes squirt it is…." Homura said.
" Zanth… we won't force you to pick… but your uncle and I have decided that you would be better off with Homura then anything else."
" You mean I can stay with Uncle Mura, papa?"
" If you want…"
" DIDN'T YOU THINK ABOUT ASKING ME!" Jal's voice shouted.
Everyone in the room cringes.
" I was going to tell you hun…"
" When? In like two million years?"
" No… its just that…."
" Well spit it out!"
" I was just thinking… that it might be in his best intrest. I mean he loves to be around my brother so it seems only fair that he should be with the person that he likes the most. I know you are the boys mother, but I am his father, and you said it yourself we can't go back to the way things were… like I hoped."
Jal was in shock. ' Why is he still dragging this up? Even after his death he wants to be with me…' She pauses for a minute as she felt a strong feeling in her heart. ' What, what is this feeling? Could it be possible that I love him still? Well I guess it is possible that I do… he was my husband after all not to mention father of my son. But I can't… I can't just avoid Keiko. Oh what should I do…'
' Do what you think is right.' Keiko said.
' But what about you? I just don't want to discard you like yesterdays leftovers.'
' Jal, he was your husband.'
' You don't have to if you don't want to dear. I might just return to the dead some day… That's why I brought this up…. Zanth should be with Homura.'
" I guess your right."
Homura was smiling. " That was very touching." He pressed a few buttons on the control panel. " Good everything is working here…"
Then there was a knock on the door. " Lord Homura?" Taj voice came.
" You in there…"
" The doors open."
The two men came in. " Lord Aden." They said bowing to the ghost.
Keiko and Jal had discretely walked out the door with Zanth. Taj and Taiyo sat down at the controls. Aden shut the door and he appeared in a life like body.
" Ah much better." Aden said.
" So you have gotten your body back I see." Homura said.
" Only for a while. So brother… what are we going to do about those Kanjins out there?"
" Nothing… I understand more then what I did when I was younger. We have gotten into a war without an ending. I have had enough fighting… I have lost too many people. I refuse to lose any more. They have shown me that my way or I should say our father's way was wrong! Things are different now. I can see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Our lives will be better then they have ever been before."
" I just wished I could have been alive to live it."
In the main part of the ship everyone was discussing Homura and his gang.
" I still think that Homura is up to something!" Kadin argued.
" But that can't be true." Jal insisted.
" I agree with Jal on this one." Ukyo said.
Everyone looked at Ukyo with a look of shock. Trunks put his hand on Ukyo's farehead. " You sick?"
Ukyo twitched. She pulled out her pan and she hit him in the head.
" TRUNKS!"
Trunks rubbed his head. ' Geez… when will these mood swings stop?'
Once again he was hit over the head.
Keiko looked at him. " Maybe you shouldn't think or talk at all." He laughed.
" Very funny!"
Keiko started coughing again. His hand had blood on it from all his coughing. Keiko looked so pale. He clinched his heart and started breathing hard. With that he passed out in Jal's arms. His life force was relativity nonexistent.
" KEIKO!" Jal shouted.
Trunks walked over to check his pulse. " He's alright. He's just extremely weak right now. He'll be better once he gets some rest."
" Hey wait a minute… come to think of it… didn't Homura have the same condition?" Kadin asked.
" That's right… we saw him in the same condition once before… but I haven't seen him in such bad shape in a while. I wonder what is going on." Keke said.
Shock appeared on his face. " I got it!"
Everyone looked at Trunks. " You do hun?"
" Yes, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner! Remember how he had that incident in the dungeon… well that helped him."
" Say what!" Everyone shouted.
" I don't know how, but what ever the liquid was… it helped Homura get better."
" Strange…" Jal said, " Do you think Homura knows it?"
" He said it himself his condition was different, because of his Saiyan blood… but it might work the same, if he play with it some." Trunks looked out the window and he saw many planets and asteroids. " This isn't the way to Earth!"
Kadin growled. ' I knew something was up! Damn that Homura… what are you up too?'
To be continued…
Hey everyone. How was that? I hope you enjoyed it. Please review. Till next time.
