Here's the third chapter! Someone actually took time to review my story and it put a big grin on my face and I really appreciate them for doing it. This chapter didn't come out quite like I hoped but it's here. Please read/review!
Bra waltzed to the front door and let herself in. "I'm home!" Bra yelled while removing her earphones that were blasting songs by Simple Plan. She moved to close the door behind her. As she walked around the mansion her mother called a "simple home" she heard music coming from the backyard.
Why is mom playing music so loud? Bra thought to herself, then it suddenly dawned on her that Bulma had been planning a gathering the past few days. She decided to make herself known and headed towards the backyard.
To her surprise all the guests appeared to be huddled in a circle around something, well almost everyone. Her father was off to himself. He wasn't much for socializing. She grinned and waved at Vegeta. His only response was a suppressed grunt.
She returned her attention to the huddle once more. Whatever it was in the center they looked awfully happy about it. Bra resumed her walk towards the huddle. Bulma took notice of her daughter's approach, "Hey come on over, Bra, there's someone I want you to meet!"
The guests dispersed letting Bra into the huddle. Bra's eyes widened, in the middle of the group stood a purple guy with a platinum blond mohawk. The guy's barely 5 feet tall! What's so great about him? she wondered.
"Kaioshin, this is my daughter Bra Briefs." Bulma said while motioning towards her shorter blue-haired teen.
The purple kai turned towards Bra and bowed. "My name is Kaioshin Kai, it is truly a pleasure to meet you Ms. Briefs." He replied, the words dripping off his tongue smooth as velvet. His obsidian eyes observed her.
A small blush crept onto Bra's cheeks, his voice was so…suave. Wow the guy knows how to make a girl smile if nothing else, she thought. "Uh, thanks…Kaioshin." She replied as a goofy grin spread across her face. Her hand made it's way into her hair…You couldn't think of a better response than that Bra! Aw come on…chick you can do better than that! She'd lost herself in the reconciles of her mind until her mother piped up.
"Kaioshin will be staying with us for a while, Bra." Bulma smiled. "Oh…and Kibito, too." She turned in the direction of the tall pink kai that had gone previously unnoticed by Bra.
The girl jumped back How had she missed him before? A few feet behind Kaioshin stood a pink man…definitely over 6 feet tall, with long platinum blond hair. His face was one that display nothing less than total seriousness. To sum it up, he was very intimidating…even if he was pink.
"He's Kaioshin's bodyguard and trust me he's not as frightening as you think." Bulma informed her daughter.
"W-what? Why does he need a bodyguard, Mom?" She turned her head quickly to face her mother.
Bulma simply closed her eyes and put on her matter-of-fact face and said, "Well, Mr. Kaioshin is the Supreme Kai…uh" she caught her mistake and cleared her throat, "I mean…he's the future Supreme Kai of the eastern side of the universe!" Bulma finished her statement.
Kaioshin shrugged then ruffled his mohawk, "You make it sound so glamorous…" he muttered, his eyes focused on the ground.
"It is an important and memorable thing, Master." Kibito told the young purple kai.
Bra was having a hard time digesting all the information. "So…this guy…I mean Kaioshin is about to rule a quadrant of the universe…so he's royalty?"
"Yep, he's a prince. He helped us save earth before you were even born. So he's a hero, too." Kaioshin shifted uneasily from his left foot to his right. All this talk about him was making him uncomfortable.
The guests each expressed their thanks, then started to leave. Goku mentioned training with Kaioshin later but Chi-Chi dragged him outside before he could finish. Gohan and Videl waved goodbye while laughing at Goku's plight. Soon Bra, Bulma, Vegeta, Kaioshin, and Kibito were the only people remaining.
Bulma started walking towards her home. She stopped midway and looked over her shoulder. "Come on, let's get your rooms ready."
"I'm going down into gravity chamber to train, woman." Vegeta walked hastily down the corridors.
"THIS WOMAN HAS A NAME!" She yelled.
He groaned, "Bulma." Leave it to Bulma Briefs to tame the sayian prince. She decided to dismiss their conversation and move on. "Which wing of the house would you like to stay in?" she inquired.
"Which ever one would cause you the least inconvenience I suppose…." Kaioshin replied. The guy was so polite.
A smile spread across Bulma's face, "How about the east wing! Since you're going to be the ruler of the Eastern side of the universe and all…Bra go make sure their rooms are in order."
Bra let out a sigh and traveled to the eastern wing of their home. She trudged up the stairs and made a left. There were four bedrooms in the eastern wing, minus the one she stayed in. Each one had its own bathroom. She surveyed the room next to hers. The king sized bed had clean sheets on it. Check. The bathroom was spotless and smelling good. A fresh bar of soap was in the soap dish and clean towels were on the bathroom shelf along with various shampoos and conditioners. Check. The room was all good. She waltzed over to the sliding door and stepped out on it's balcony. It had a great view of the moon as well as the pool area below.
She moved across the hall to another bedroom. It checked out as well, minus the balcony. Bra made her way back downstairs to the den. Bulma was carrying on about the substance of the potara earring or something like that.
"Yo, mom the rooms are in tip top condition." Bra informed the trio.
Her mother looked up at the clock on the wall. "Oh my…it's late. Bra will show you to your rooms." She got up off the couch. "Me and Vegeta stay in the west wing. The room first door to the right. If you need me you can find me there or in my laboratory." Bulma had a lab deep underneath their home. She was Briefs after all. "And Bra's room is in the east wing with you so she can help you out too."
As Bulma retreated to her room. Kaioshin, Kibito and Bra started their journey to the east wing. "So you're really the future overseer of the universe?" Bra asked still in disbelief.
"Yes, I am." He told her coolly. "I know it's hard to believe but we exist."
"But Mr. Kaioshin, why would you wanna come to earth in the first place?" she asked climbing the stairs.
"I came here originally to check in on the Earth and the heroes that helped subdue Majin Buu. However, after that I was invited to your mother's gathering and I found it quite interesting. Your mother gave me the opportunity to stay here and learn more about Earth and it's customs."
Bra opened the door to Kaioshin's room. "Mr. Kaioshin, this is your room…" she said, fighting off impending sleep. "And Mr. Kibito your room is just across the hall." Kibito said his goodnights and headed off to bed, leaving Bra and Kaioshin in the corridor. "If you need anything just ask….my room is right beside yours." She started walking to her room.
"Wait a minute," Kaioshin caught her just before she opened her bedroom door, "I have a favor to ask."
Bra's blue orbs studied him, "And what would that favor be?" She asked.
"I want you to call me Kaioshin, Shin for short if you you don't mind." He scratched the back of his head. "It's just….Mr. Kaioshin makes me sound old."
"I'll do that….only if you call me Bra, because Ms. Bra sounds old." She mocked with a wide grin.
"It is a deal…Bra." He said opening his bedroom door.
"Alright…Shin." Shin…cute name, she thought. "I'm gonna give you a huge dosage of Earth tomorrow, so get your rest, okay?"
"I will, goodnight, Bra." He stepped into his room and closed his door.
"Goodnight, Shin." She stepped in her room and quickly closed the door behind her. She undressed and belly-flopped onto the ruby comforter on her bed. Bra rolled over and looked up at the ceiling. Her mind wandered to the purple kai in the room beside hers….The future overseer of Earth is a purple elf named Shin.
Kaioshin was sprawled in the gold sheets that covered his bed. his eye brow twitched, "I'm not an elf…." He muttered to himself.
And so concludes this chapter. There will be more interaction between the two in the next one. Bra has big plans for Shin and Bulma has her own for our favorite kai. So please review! I wanna improve.
