Chapter 8: The full moon

Everyone sat in the metal and glass prison. Thinking of what Goku said about Kagome. Yaucha and Bulma glanced at Kagome's sleeping form near Goku.

Flashback

After Kagome passed out form crying, Goku started to speak.

"You know, this is my first time I've seen Kagome cry after Grandpa died. It's been years."

Goku had on a sober expression. He put Kagome down on the ground with her head in his lap. Bulma was becoming guilty and uncomfortable. Yamucha just stared at Kagome sadly. His thoughts were,

'She acted strong for Goku in the beginning, so she probably never got to morn properly through the years of taking care of Goku. She had to do it all alone, sacrificing a bit of her happiness for Goku. She is so selfless.'

Suddenly, they heard the wall move. On the other side of it was Oolong and Puwar. They pleaded that they escape. Yamucha scooped up Kagome, bridal style, and they started to run.

But, unfortunately, they were caught and put into the steel and glass prison. They had time before the sunrise, so they had plenty of time to think.

End of Flashback

Kagome stirred, startling Bulma and Yamucha. She sat up with Goku at her side. Her eyes were surprisingly not puffy or red. She gave a shy glance at Goku, she was stiff. As soon as she saw him smiling, she smiled brightly. She offered her tail. Goku grinned and gripped her tail with his. Their tails moved up and down as if it was a hand shake. She pulled him into a hug.

When they broke, she turned to look where she is. Her eyes narrowed. She turned to Bulma for an explanation. Bulma explained.

"Hm, is the ceiling really strong glass? I could break it if it wasn't strong."

"Yeah, Goku tried that already."

I snapped my fingers "Damn it! Oh, how about brute force?"

"We tried that already. It's impossible."

*mumble* "I wonder if I use the Kamehameha wave. No, no, it would cause deaths. But, if I point it at the ceiling? No, glass shards would rain down, we would be injured. That would hinder our escape." *mumble*

I sat Indian style. I twitched and turned sharply to Puwar. Did she say full moon? Oh damn it! I didn't notice! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

While I had my inner termole, Goku told the others the story I told him when Grandpa died. Grandpa told him too, only a bit different. Oh dear, the others figure it out. They were huddled in a corner.

They murmured to themselves. I can feel my ears burning. They are talking about me. I learned about the ear burning thing when I was working in the village.

My god, Bulma! Why did you point to the moon! Kid's natural curiosity will- he looked! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! They got into false sense of security. There's that look.

"Quick everyone! Get into a corner!"

Goku started to turn into a giant ape. At least we got an exit now, now to exit. I grabbed Oolong, Puwar, and Bulma. Oolong and Puwar under each of my arms. Bulma on my back. I threw Yamucha over the wall before I grabbed onto them.

We ran to a safe distance. I was careful to not look up at the moon the whole way. Now that they are at a safe distance, I can go back. I started to strip of my new outfit, that left my tube top and shorts. It will get ruined if I transform with it on. I started to go back until Yamucha yelled and grabbed my arm.

"Let me go! I need to get to Goku!"

"No! You'll get killed if you go!"

"I can change too! But I am aware of what is going on. I can only handle Goku if I transform too! I won't be strong enough if I stay in a humanoid form!"

His grip slackens in shock. I used that to run for Goku. I looked to the moon. I transformed while I ran. My tube top and shorts stretched to match my new size. I was bigger than Goku since I was older. It has been so long since I transformed. It was an awesome feeling. Feels like I am, like I am free, but I got to focus on my task.

I roared to get his attention. Goku turned to me and started to throw some of the castle rubble at me. I blocked it with my fist. I roared again and slammed the castle to the ground. He stopped, I seized that moment the hug him. I had his arms locked to his sides. I made a rumbling noise in my chest to calm him.

Now, usually, I would let him go free whenever this happened, but this isn't our mountain. I can't wait until sunrise like the other time. I moved my tail to wrap tightly to the base of Goku's tail.

"I'm sorry, Goku," I rumbled. I pulled off his tail. He gave a cry of pain, and then he started to shrink. I yanked out mine soon after. I started to shrink as well.

Once normal, I scooped up Goku and his Bo. I started to walk over to the others. I stopped by the car that wasn't smashed and got Goku's spare clothing and shoes.

I arrived to them a bit later. They calmed immensely. They accept our different species easily. I clothed Goku and laid his head in my lap to rest. I sighed.

"You 3 have questions."

I noticed that Puwar was asleep against a mushroom tree. I answered their questions as best I could, but when the sun started to rise I ceased all the questions at once. Goku started to wake up.

Goku did ask questions about how we escaped, but I deflected them a bit with a bit of a lie, I used the Kamehameha wave to smash the glass, but it was too big and it destroys most … or the entire castle with it. We talked for a bit as to what we are going to do in our separate ways. Goku and I are going to the Kannin Sennin for training. Bulma and Yamucha got together. Though, for some reason, Yamucha seemed reluctant.

Bulma, Yamucha, Oolong, and Puwar are going to the city. We said our farewells. I got on the Kintoun with Goku as the others got into an airplane. The first thing we did was go to our mountain to get the basics of living. Clothing, a bed, and a bit of food. We already ate the food, so we will fill the rest of our stomachs at Master Roshi's place.

We flew to the island. There we will start our training. I'm excited just thinking about it.

Hm, done! XD

And a translation from, I think, a French review asked if I will complete this story entirely and go to the sequel.

My answer: yes, I will complete this. At the moment I am working on the sequel because I couldn't wait for this story to be complete and my imagination was to be written or it will go wild

And I am sorry for those people who want Kagome x Yamucha action. Kagome is oblivice in this story, so sorry. Besides I haven't even introduced Tien yet! ;}
