Chi-Chi mindlessly rung her apron in her hands. She hadn't been this nervous since Buu, which was one of the problems. Two people were dying and the threatening monster may or may not be more powerful.
Vegeta, Goku, Tein and Gohan were all worrying about Kira, the demon from another planet. Apparently, the demon managed to absorb Buu. With that kind of power in a monster like that, that thing would be dangerous not only to other people, but them as well.
Kyo was kicking the bucket, or about to. He needed everything given to him. The machines attached to him were the only thing keeping him alive. As much as most of the others wanted the annoying alien gone, they needed him alive to seal Kira back into Mori. So, they wait for one more month for the Senzu Beans to grow back to heal him.
It had been two weeks since Mori was saved, so to speak, but she wasn't getting any better. She seemed to be getting weaker in actuality. She would hardly eat or drink anything, she had to be kept on the IV and monitored because she usually took the IVs out. On top of that, the burns she received haven't been healing. For as long as Chi-Chi known her, Mori's wounds, weather large or small, always healed in a week, or at least shown signs of healing.
Piccolo was frustrated to no extent, yet he was patient with his little protégé. Goten, on the other hand, had enough with Mori.
He paced the courtyard out side. He mumbled to himself, "Doesn't she know that we worked so hard to save her! Aug! She is so selfish! Does she want to die!" He stuck his hands in his pockets, fumbling with a small object in his pocket.
He huffed and ran into the house. He passed his mother, not giving her a second glance and charged into Mori's room. He froze when he noticed that the girl was still sleeping soundly in her bed and that Trunks was sitting by her side. He narrowed his eyes and raised a finger to his lips.
Goten nodded and closed the door behind him. He knelt beside his friend and sighed. Trunks whispered, "What was that about?"
The boy shrugged, "I was, uh..." He sighed and pulled a senzu bean out of his pocket, "I just want Mori to get better."
Trunks looked at his friend with sympathy, "I know how you feel. I hate seeing her in this much pain too." They look down at her friend, "But she won't take the bean. She would probably tell us to give it to Kyo."
The younger half-Sayian looked at the bandages, "I know we should give it to him but..."He gazed at the healing bean in his hand.
A weak cry emanated from the patient. Goten placed the bean inside his pocket and placed his hand by hers. Trunks brushed Mori's red locks behind her ear, "Mori?"
She groaned but kept sleeping on. Trunks let his hand linger on Mori's head, "Please, Mori. Get better. We know it wasn't your fault for the kidnapping of my sister."
Goten piped up, "Or my Niece. We know it wasn't you in control."
The young woman slept on. Her golden eyes were still hidden beneath her lids. The boys rested their heads on the bed and slowly joined their friend in a deep slumber.
Gohan walked into Mori's room, trying to find his little brother. He opened the door and paused. He smiled wide at the sight he saw. There in the room were the closest three friends anyone could find.
The boys were resting their heads on the mattress near Mori. He chuckled softly. The scene reminded him when Mori was in bed after the tournament all those years ago. All of them were sleeping and Mori was injured. It was a moment that made him smile again.
His smile faded, knowing that he had to retrieve his brother for his mother. As much as he didn't want to break the moment, he also didn't want to see his mother's dark side. He walked over to the dark haired teen and shook his shoulder. Goten's head rose with a string of drool running down his lips. His eyes were glazed as he looked up at him in confusion. Gohan motioned the youngest son of Goku to follow him out of the room.
Three hours later, Mori and Trunks woke at the same time. Trunks stretched his legs and popped his aching back. He then noted to never sleep kneeling on the floor again.
Mori asked, "You've been sleeping there the entire time?"
Trunks replied while rubbing his neck, "I just sort of dozed off." He looked around, "Goten was here earlier, and I don't know where he is now."
She nodded and looked at her thin hands. She sighed, "Before you say anything, I know I have to eat."
He stood and sat on the edge of the bed, "Then why don't you?"
Mori avoided the half-Sayian's eyes, "I don't deserve to eat anything."
Trunks snorted, "Stop being emo. This isn't like you." Mori eyed him and the purple haired boy flinched. He argued on, "Don't look at me like that. It wasn't your fault, how many times do we have to tell you!" He grabbed her hand, "You are one of my best friends! I know you so well that we might as well been related. I know you would've never harmed Bra or even Pan on purpose."
Mori smiled weakly, "I am trying but...I can't get it out of my mind."
Briefs breathed deeply, "Try to understand that no one here blames you for anything Mori." He pulled his hand away and left the room to fill his stomach and clear his head.
Mori looked down at her hands. She unwrapped the bandages to see the burns that marked her skin, or what did mark her skin.
She breathed slowly and the burns slowly disappear from sight. She brings her knees up slowly and painfully to her chest and burry her face into her hands. She moaned as she shook. She thought in her head, I am such a coward. I healed fully a week ago yet I hide from them. I hurt them and lie to them, telling them I feel guilty about the girls. Oh no. Oh no. I know I didn't do it...its just...I can't go through this again...I just can't. If they knew I healed, and then they would go find her...they would find her!
The girl tried to rise from the bed but fell back in pain. Although the burns healed, she was as weak as a new born foal. Her power was once again hidden from reach. It felt like she was a child again just learning how to find the power with in her. She knew it was there, but it was unreachable.
She looked over her knees and stares at the wall.
The door slammed against the wall and she jumped. She looked over at the doorway to see Goten and Trunks breathing hard and they were panicking like it was nobodies business. She asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Goten couldn't form the words in his throat, so Trunks was the one to tell the bad news. He glared at the floor, "Kira...she is attacking again. Which I don't quite under..." He starred at Mori's bare and flawless arms and sighed, "Oh...well, never mind."
Mori clenched her hands in anger, "Is that one guy awake yet? The guy from my own race? Can't he just seal the demon back in?"
Goten shook his head, "No...he is, sighing, he died two hours ago." Mori's eyes widen. The half-Sayian nodded, "Apparently he is allergic to Senzu Beans. He died instantly."
Mori looked away from her friends, now knowing that she was officially royally screwed.
This seems like nothing can be done. WRONG! It isn't over yet, although it is so close that I can smell the ending!
