Kaioshin walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a fluffy white robe. He blushed at the sight of you sound asleep on the end of his bed.
You must have fallen asleep waiting for him. He looked to your left and saw his usual pile of neatly folded clothes. He padded over to the end of the bed quietly as if trying not to wake you.
He quickly grabbed his clothes and retreated into the bathroom once again. He was curious as to why you had fallen asleep so quickly. Did he disrupt your sleep last night? It was something he did often, but he didn't think about the fact that it may be bothering you in any way
It was unlikely, but it still made him feel a tad guilty if it did. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. He had many things to do today and the longer he stood there in thought the longer it would take for him to start them.
He quickly dressed himself, not even checking himself in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom.
oOoOoOoOoOo
You awoke soon after he had gone back into the bath room, sitting upward and looking around. Oh, that's right. You had been waiting for Kaioshin to come out of the bathroom.
You looked to your left to see his clothes gone, but you heard some shuffling in the bathroom so you assumed he had grabbed them while you were asleep.
Just then the door to the bathroom opened and your master walked out now dressed in his uniform. He seemed shocked to see you already awake.
"oh, (name) your awake, did you sleep okay last night? You looked rather tired"
You smiled and nodded standing up from your sitting position on the foot of the bed.
"Yes, I'm awake, I apologize for falling asleep, and yes I slept quite alright. I must have needed a small nap is all"
He smiled slightly in relief. Maybe he didn't bother you when you slept after all.
"Well, I'm glad you slept good. I too feel much better now that I am rested. In fact I –"
You stopped listening after that tilting your head to the side. A small grin plastered on your face.
"Um, master your hair is still wet."
He stopped in mid-sentence before blushing darkly. You were right, he had indeed forgotten to dry off his hair. leaving his Mohawk slightly limp and damp.
You chuckled and grabbed a towel from the closet walking over to him. You began to dry his hair with the towel.
He looked up at you with a very embarrassed expression. His face was flushed, and his arms were limp at his sides. You finished up drying his hair and threw the towel in the nearby dirty clothes basket.
You watched as he awkwardly sat on the bed and began to put on his boots. You smiled and walked out of the room to check on Kibito who had insisted on doing breakfast today.
You usually cooked, and cleaned while Kibito did the more important stuff, like being The supreme kai's bodyguard and following him around making sure he went on about his day with no trouble.
It was your job too, but you usually counted on Kibito to do that stuff while you made sure master was happy with his day.
But, there was only one problem with Kibito cooking...he didn't cook much so his skills were limited. You were just hoping nothing burned...including things other than the food itself.
You walked into the kitchen to see Kibito doing a decent job at not burning anything. You mentally sighed in relief. You began to set the table making sure everything looked decent.
you let Kibito plate the food before grabbing each plate and setting them on the table. Everything looked...well...edible so that was a good sign and nothing was burned so that was another plus.
Just as you two finished Kaioshin walked in now ready for his day. Well, almost. He still had to eat of course.
You sat next to kibito and began to eat along with them. Obviously you didn't eat as much as the other two did since you already had a piece of toast earlier.
But nevertheless you ate fairly well. After cleaning up afterwards as Kibito and Kaioshin discussed some things in the other room, you walked down the hall to your master's room.
You walked in leaving the door open. You made the bed and cleaned up this and that, wiping the water of the floor from earlier. Pretty much you made the room look a bit less out of place.
It was indeed your job to clean, and care for The Supreme Kai. So, you normally end up cleaning everything that seemed out of place. Some would say you had developed OCD. Not that it was a bad thing. It made your job much more enjoyable.
You never really felt any grief in cleaning up after your master. And of course you understood how much his job was than yours, which made you even more inclined to make sure he stays happy.
Of course there are other reasons why you loved making him happy...
There was no denying your feelings for him. It had developed rather quickly over the many years you have been working for him. Though you didn't think of it as work really, more like errands. Something you don't mind doing.
You turned up out of the blue really. All you really remember about your past is being lost...all you knew was being alone finding yourself on this planet you know call home. You had stumbled across it confused as to why it seemed so familiar.
It was almost like you had been born here. You were indeed the same race as your master and Kibito. But, how you had ended up somewhere else was still a blur to you. All you could remember was ending up on this all too familiar planet and being found by Kibito.
At first he had been cross towards you due to his protectiveness over The Supreme Kai who had taken you in. of course kibito had been skeptical at first, and wasn't very fond of the idea.
But over time you and him had grown very close. He was like an older sibling to you and he had grown protective over you as well.
As for The Supreme Kai, he had been kind to you from the start, always there to help you out. After a few months of staying with them He offered you a job as his other personal bodyguard...well you considered yourself more of a maid.
Not in a bad way of course. You had hesitantly accepted soon forming a normal routine with them. After some time past you had formed special bonds with both of them.
But nothing surprised you more than the close bond you had formed with your master. It was like you two were stuck like glue. The close friendship you had was unbreakable, but...lately things have been different.
Yes you were still very close, but it seemed like that friendship was turning into something more...
Some would think you were romantic partners, but not at the same time. It was so confusing to you and you wanted nothing, more than to be in an exclusive relationship with him...but then there was many problems that prevented that from happening.
You didn't know if he felt that kind of way towards you, and you were afraid to ask. You would be speaking out of place. Asking such a person as him if he had romantic feelings towards you would be like asking death itself to spare you.
It's not that he wasn't allowed to love or was incapable. It's just...he wouldn't feel that way toward someone he had just taken under his wing...someone as lowly and powerless as you.
It wouldn't be possible. You weren't strong or have such an important role as he did. You weren't important enough. You were his servant and nothing more, and you had to accept that weather you liked it or not.
You sighed grabbing the basket full of clothes and walking out of the room. You headed to the laundry room stopping when you passed the entrance to the living room were Kibito and Kaioshin were conversing about something that sounded important.
You debated weather or not to walk in, but then decided against it. Instead you put you back against the wall inches away from the entrance. You cleared your mind completely a trick you had developed from living with a mind reader all these years.
You also tried to be as quiet as possible as not to alert the two of your presence. You listened in your pointed ears twitching as they picked up their conversation.
"Master, are you sure you want to travel to earth? It could endanger you if what you say is true" Kibito questioned worry dripping in each word.
"We must for the sake of Earth and The entire Universe as well. If we do not go now Majin Buu will indeed be revived and history will repeat itself" Kaioshin Exclaimed trying to get Kibito to understand the seriousness of the situation.
"Master...i...if we must go, what good will it do? What could we possibly do to stop that monster from remerging from his seal? If Babadi is anything like his father he might just make things even harder than before" Kibito countered still trying to understand the whole thing.
"Kibito we have to go! We can at least stop Babadi from collecting all the energy he needs to unleash Buu! We have to find allies who can help us. If we do not do this now it will already be to late and The Universe will be doomed"
"Understood, master, but what are we going to do about (name) if we don't come back? We can't-"
You had heard enough and decided to run off before they found out about you listening in on their conversation. You quietly made you way to the laundry room and started to put things in the washer pretending like you hadn't heard anything.
You closed the hood to the washing machine and pressed a few buttons to get it running. But your mind started to drift off elsewhere...
What was that all about? Majin Buu...who the heck was that?! Apparently someone dangerous, and by the seriousness of their conversation as they talked about him...he was a threat to the Universe.
That's no good at all, and that planet they mentioned...Earth? Was that were this Majin Buu was sealed away?
This was so sudden and so confusing! And Babadi...why does that name sound familiar...?
It sounded so much like...Bibidi?! That couldn't possibly be his son could it? you had heard a lot from, Master about Bibidi. He was a dangerous evil wizard who had created a monster...
Was that monster he had talked about Majin Buu? It was a possibility...
But, didn't he say something about sealing him away? Wait Kibito said something about a seal!
"Master...i...if we must go, what good will it do? What could we possibly do to stop that monster from remerging from his seal?"
Yeah! He said Majin Buu might come back from being sealed away, so that must mean...That horrible monster Master talked about...That monster that had murdered the other Supreme Kai's...the one who had destroyed all those innocent planets...
Was coming back!? Master was right if they don't go to 'Earth' now that monster could be brought back, and the Universe would be vulnerable to all that Majin Buu finds.
And whoever this Babadi was could easily get enough energy if they don't intervene!
You had stopped folding the clean clothes in your hand after coming to a realization...
What if he comes here!? Everything you know...your home...would be gone...you couldn't allow that! You can't just sit around and clean while they fight for the sake of the universe without you! You wouldn't allow it. It was your job to protect The Supreme Kai too.
And it was his job to protect the universe...so you have to protect the protector of the universe!
You were about to throw the piece of clothing and run to announce that you were going with them, when you realized that they didn't know you knew...
That means you couldn't just go running up to them and demand you go as well if they had no idea you even knew...they would know you eavesdropped too...
Well, that meant you would have to wait until they confronted you about it first. You would have to play dumb and surprised for a bit...just until it was explained to you. It shouldn't be that hard.
You grinned and went back to folding the piece of clothing you had almost wrinkled while clutching it.
Well, all you could do now was wait.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
You had finished up the laundry a little bit ago, and was now on the couch in the rather large living room. You were curled up on the couch with a book. Reading was something you did often in your free time when you weren't cleaning.
It was calming, and always seemed to occupy you for long periods of time. It was distracting you from the earlier struggle to not expose your knowledge to Kibito and Kaioshin.
It was especially hard with Shin, y'know since he can read minds...you had to be extra careful about what you thought around him. One wrong thought and he would know exactly what you had done, and quite frankly you didn't want that.
Your reading was interrupted when Kibito walked into the room. You looked up at him when he cleared his throat rather loudly in attempt to get your attention.
"Yes?" you asked putting on an innocent expression.
Kibito hesitated for a moment, before speaking. It was something he only did when he was nervous about something, and based on your knowledge from earlier you had a pretty good idea what it was. But still you played along.
"Master, and I would like to discuss something with you. If that's alright" he stated bluntly, trying to keep a straight face. Of course you saw right through it.
"Yes, of course" you stood up placing the book down on the coffee table and following him out of the room.
Kibito led you to the kitchen where kaioshin sat on one of the bar stools to the island in the middle of the room. He perked up at the sight of you, but quickly composed himself a slightly nervous look shown through his stoic expression.
"Ah, (name) go ahead and take a seat , we have much to discuss" you gladly took a seat next to him as he and Kibito went over the whole situation making sure not to leave out any detail.
You were surprised to find out that there was more to the story than you had thought. They explained some things that you had pondered before and gave you answers to most of the questions you had asked yourself.
You found yourself still surprised by the whole situation even though you had already known most of it.
"oh my...that certainly is an issue that needs to be dealt with..." you looked down at your hands in your lap saddened by the situation you were now told even for a second time.
But, you remembered the task at hand, and looked up from your lap with a determined look in your eyes. It was now or never.
"Then...I will accompany you to 'Earth' so I may also, help protect the universe as well" you stated bravely, the seriousness in your voice surprised them both.
Kibito was the first to argue.
"No, you have to stay here for your safety!" he countered his protective nature showing through and taking over.
Kaioshin held his hand up as to silence Kibito.
"Now, Kibito it's her choice alone and I believe she would help us in the long run, if she wishes to go then let her. We need all the help we can get" He state a matter of factly.
Kibito cursed at himself under his breath before looking up at you.
"If you truly wish to go, than I won't stop you. But remember our job is to protect him, and we must syck to that task no matter what happens" you nodded in agreement before glancing over to the clock.
It was about lunch time.
"When do we Leave?" you asked getting up on your feet and walking over to the fridge pulling out a few things before pulling out a couple more things from the cupboard as well beginning to make lunch for everyone.
Kaioshin hesitated for a moment before replying
"Tomorrow Morning" he stated bluntly you nearly dropped everything in your hands a shocked look on your face. Your mouth was wide open in surprise.
"T-Tomorrow Morning!?" you exclaimed still frozen in shock.
Shin sighed and nodded this reaction was expected from you since you had probably thought he would think ahead. So it was no surprise to him that you would think that he would have been more prepared, but that was almost impossible in this kind of situation.
"Yes, Tomorrow Morning, we have to leave as soon as we can. This cannot wait Babadi is most likely already on Earth collecting energy, so we must hurry" he stated watching as you continued on making lunch.
"Alright, then...should...should I wake you up earlier than usual?" you asked finishing up the sandwiches you were preparing.
"That would make things easier" he smiled seeing you were now in your usual good mood.
"Alright, then...anyone hungry?" They both nodded eagerly as you gave them each a sandwich.
After a few minutes of eating Kibito paused and looked up at the two of you.
"Also, let's sleep in our own beds tonight" He said glaring accusingly at the two of you.
Well so much for Kibito not knowing about that...
