Review:

“She did what she could.” Dende hoped that Shippou would not blame himself for what will happen.

Shippou sighed and bowed his head. “Mother has always done for others before looking after herself. I wish that he were here to tell her that she is doing the right thing. Only he was able to help her unlike any others. Not even father could help like Inuyasha could.” Shaking his head he turned and left the ‘guardian’ at the edge of the look out and headed back to his room. He still needed to rest.

>Piccolo with an unconscious Kagome<

Piccolo could feel the power that Gogeta was giving off. It caused him to shiver at the sheer power that rolled off him in waves. Piccolo glanced down and noticed that the girl was slowly loosing body heat. Growling he flared his ki to help keep the cool air from making the onna cold.

“You sure are a strange one, Onna.” Piccolo grinned when he saw the pole that lead up to Kami’s look out. He knew that he was close.

>Shippou<

Shippou had entered his room just as he felt Piccolo’s ki along with his mothers land at the entrance of the look out. His heart pounding he rushed through the halls and out the front door.

As soon as Shippou exited the doorway he spotted the tall green alien with his mother. He could feel his heart break as he noticed that she would take at least two to three days for recover.

Running over to Piccolo and his mother Shippou took Kagome from the Namik’s arms and took her back to the room where he had just vacated. He knew that everyone had rooms to themselves however he had always sleep with her even now.

Shippou undressed his mother not paying any attention to her bare skin. He dressed her in a long gown that he knew was for sleeping. Once he was done he layed her on the bed and pulled the blanket over her sleeping form. Shippou kissed her forehead then headed to the kitchen for some food. He had not realized that he was hungry.

When Shippou entered the kitchen Krillin, Piccolo and Tein were sitting at the table talking. Shippou ignored them as he went over to a place in the kitchen were Mr. Popo kept youkai food. Picking one of the sweet foods he plated the meat and took it to the table.

All three of the z fighters looked at Shippou as he ate his food. Shippou noticed and wiped his mouth then looked at them. He raised a brow as he looked over at the Namik. He seemed to be the only one that was not afraid of him.

“Is there a problem?” Shippou looked at Krillin and Tein.

“We were just wondering what kind of food that is?” Krillin asked nodded towards the odd looking food on Shippou’s plate.

Shippou looked down and smirked. Not many people knew about youkai food. “Well its youkai food. It has more nutrition than human food.” Shippou explained as he took another bit. “Mr. Popo stocks it for us for when we come by and visit.”

“Maybe I should use some to feed Vegeta and Trunks.” Bulma spoke as she walked in with Chen on her hips along with Trunks and Goten walking behind her.

Shippou chuckled. “From what I have seen of the sayains appetite I believe it would make less dishes for you to wash after wards.” Krillin and Tein nodded.

“How is Kagome?” Trunks asked as he walked up to Shippou. Goten was behind his older friend looking up at Shippou.

Shippou sighed. “She will be ok but she will be in bed for a couple of days.” He took another bit of his food.

“I-I will n-not be i-in bed for any l-longer than need be.” Came a shaky voice from behind everyone.

Bulma gasped as she turned and seen a healing Kagome standing there with her tail wrapped tightly around her waist. Her cloths had been changed however she was still bruised badly. Shippou was about to jump up to help her when Kagome sent him a warning growl. He gritted his teeth but sat back down.

“You should not be out of bed.” Shippou told his mother.

Kagome narrowed her eyes at her son. “I am not a weak human any longer, Shippou. Sesshoumaru is no longer here so I must protect the world. It was in his hands and now it is in mine.” With that she turned and walked out of the room.

Shippou’s eyes widen when he realized what his mother was going to do. He jumped up and ran after his mother. “NO YOU CAN’T!” Shippou made it out side in time to see his mother vanish from his sight.

His claws dug into his palm as he felt his mother arrive at the battle. Shippou had his mind on other things that he did not realize that he had a audience behind him. 18, Krillin, Tein, Piccolo, Dende, Chiaotzu, Trunks, Goten and Chi-Chi were all standing behind him with worry in their eyes.

Chi-Chi walked up and placed her hand on his shoulder. “Your mother will be fine. She is just doing what she thinks is right.” Chi-Chi gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze while she herded the other back into the kitchen.

Leaving Shippou standing at the edge of the look out with doubt in his heart. It was not doubt in his mother but with her health. Shippou knew that his mother would rather put others first than her own self. He was about to leave when his mother reappeared with both Goku and Vegeta.

“Piccolo, Dende!” Shippou yelled as he rushed forward towards his mother and the other two z-fighters.

Dende was the first to arrive as he came running out of his room. His eyes grew wide as he came upon an unconscious Goku and Vegeta. He bent down and layed hand on each of their chest to heal them. It took only a few seconds before Goku woke up.

“Man where are we?” Goku raised up and rubbed the back of his head.

The others had finally made their way out to see what was happening. Chi-Chi cried as she saw Goku. She ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck as she cried into his shirt. Goku frowned as he looked around at everyone. Finally his eyes landed on Vegeta who was just starting to come around.

“Buu must of knocked us out when we defused.” Goku offered to Vegeta as he looked over at him. Goku then looked over and saw Kagome. His eyes widen when he realized that she risked her life to save them.

Vegeta followed Kakarots’ gaze and froze when he saw his mate. Snarling he rushed to her side. He sniffed the air around her and found that she was healing nicely. He picked her up and looked at the kit.

“Why is she out of bed?” He kept his eyes locked on Shippou.

Shippou stiffened and growled. “She went to save you apparently.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “We were talking when she interrupted and told me that she would do what was right. What ever that meant?” Shippou added in a whisper.

Vegeta nodded at him in understanding. He had seen her fighting spirit in the hyperbolic time chamber when he was training her. He turned and looked over at Goku who was now standing with Gohan, Videl, Goten and Chi-Chi around him.

“I am going to take Kagome back to her room.”

“That’s fine.” Goku nodded as he watched the prince of sayains walk away with his mate. He had felt the deep connection between the two when they were fused. Vegeta cared deeply for Kagome. Goku turned to Bulma.

“Do you think you can capsulize two regeneration tanks and bring them to the look out?”

Bulma nodded. “Yeah that shouldn’t be a problem. It will only take me a couple of hours to fly there and back. Is there anything else you might need?”

Chi-Chi stepped up beside her husband. “Do you have anymore of the sayain outfits that Vegeta wore when him and Nappa first came here?” Bulma nodded slow as she tried to figure out what the crazy woman was thinking.

Everyone just stared at Chi-Chi as though she had grew another head. They all knew that Chi-Chi did not approve of Goku or Gohan fighting....ever. However she changed when Goku stayed dead and Goten was born. Chi-Chi had even taken it upon herself to train Goten in the fighting style of his father.

Chi-Chi blushed when she realized that everyone was looking at her. “What I just want my sons and husband to have the best protection on the planet is that bad?” She turned and walked to the kitchen where she had been helping Mr. Popo prepare the food.

Bulma snapped her fingers together. “I have something better than the uniforms that you guys wore on Namik.” She pulled out a capsule and clicked the top. “I’ll be right back with the uniforms and RTs.” With that Bulma climbed in the flying chopper.

Yamcha held Chen as he watched his wife take off back to their home to gather the uniforms that him and her perfected when they heard that Goku was coming back. Everyone knew that Goku always brought trouble with him any where he went.

Goku looked at everyone else standing around. “I don’t know about you guys but I’m hungry.” He said as he rubbed the back of his head with a smile on his face.

Everyone fell down to the ground. No one could believe that Goku could think to eat when a monster was out in the world terrorizing it. They all stood back up when Chi-Chi came out of the door and yelled that lunch was ready. Goku, Gohan and Goten along with Trunks sprinted to the dinning room where the food was already layed out.

>Vegeta & Kagome<

Vegeta tried to keep himself calm when he started to clean Kagome’s wounds that reopened when she came to there rescue. Kagome was lying on the bed with only a sheet covering her body. Vegeta took off her clothes when he smelled fresh blood.

Kagome had a deep gash on her left leg that ran from her knee to her ankle. Vegeta slit the pad of his thumb and ran it along the gash. The wound did not heal completely but the blood had stopped and started to mend together. Vegeta knew that his blood being able to heal her was because of the fact that she was his mate.

Vegeta looked up when he saw her open her eyes. He moved around and helped her to sit up. Propping up a couple of pillows behind her Vegeta helped Kagome lean back against them. He then turned and grabbed the cup that Mr. Popo had brought in for her to drink once she woke up.

“Thanks.” Kagome whispered as she took the cup from him. Closing her eyes she tipped the cup up and drained the liquid within it. Kagome shivered from the taste. She knew only too well what it was.

Vegeta took the cup and set it down. He then took a seat next to Kagome on the bed. Taking her hand he tried to find the right words. He had never felt anything like he was feeling at this moment. Leaning down he kissed Kagome on the lips.

Vegeta pulled back and looked into her eyes. “I do not want to lose you. You, Kagome, have showed me a side of life that I only dreamed of. I would like you to rest then meet in the living room that way we can plan on what to do next. Will you do that for me?”

Kagome nodded. “Alright. I just wanted to make sure that you were ok. That was the only reason that I left.” Kagome layed down on her side.

Vegeta kissed her head. “That is fine. Just be more careful in the future. I may not always be around.” With that he stood up and walked out of the room.

Kagome waited til Vegeta left the room to sit back on the bed. She sat up in her meditation position and closed her eyes. She knew that she would be able to heal herself faster in a deep meditation. Kagome could feel everyone’s ki signature and she could also Buu’s ki. It seemed that he had gotten stronger since the last time she fought him. Taking a deep breathe she started her meditation.

Author Note – If Vegeta seems a little OOC that is because no one else is around. It is just Vegeta and Kagome. Mates act differently when they are alone. Thanks for reading and I really hope you review. Til next time....
