The Other White Meat
Simoriah lounged in a chair, looking at the crowd around her.
~It started with just me and Trinity. Then Hiiro moves in and then Mika and Kebo. Then comes the kids and the pets and...~
She watched as the Kebo Kitten walked by.
~...and the fuzzt thing.~
"Have you toliet trained the cat yet?!" Sim yelled at Mika.
"Shut up!"
~Before you know it all my space will be gone. No more than five people. Seven at the most. I've never lived with more than seven people at one time...except in the early days when I lived in the barraks at bootcamp...~ she shuddered at the thought. ~I'm way to crowded. It's getting like the Endurance. Wait. I lived with thousands of people there. Stop thinking so much Sim. You're confuseing yourself.~
Trinity and Mika waltzed in, perky as always.
"Isn't it a lovely day?" Mika babled. "The grass is green, the sun is warm..."
"The sushi is fresh!" Kebo meowed, currled up on the chair. Only Sim and Trinity understood. Mika might have but...
"...the skys are blue, the clouds are fluffy,..." she continued.
"I wonder how long she can go on like that." Trin wispered in Trin's ear.
"I give her until 'The manure is stemeing' before I hit her with a Kamehemeha."
"...the cow manu..."
!STOP!
Trinity interupted her sister before Simoriah powered up. Sim stormed into the Capsule Corp. The Kebo kitty mewed for somefood and she hised at it. He looked almost hurt so she picked him up and stroked his [you pervs] back until he purred. She sat him up and continued storming into the dweling.

"That was good, Sim." Hiiro commented politely, setting his chopsticks down.
"Thanks. I love to make chinese food. Don't forget your fortune cookie!"
"This is great, Sim!" Trin got teary. "You're really starting to warm up to us."
"Am I?" Oni smiled wryly.
"Yes, after Kebo came along, you really freaked."
"Doesn't matter now."
"Speaking of Kebo, where is he?" Mika inquired.
"Oh, he's around. You'd never know when he's right under your nose."
Hiiro opened his fortune cookie and slowly read the message inside:"That wasn't chicken"
Trinity opened hers with dread and read the message with horror: "It was cat, the other white meat."
"KEBO!" Mika shreiked, fainting.
"Simoriah!" Trin screamed "How could you?!"
Sim rolled on the ground, laughing.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?! YOU MADE KITTY CHOW MEIN WITH KEBO!" Hiiro demanded.
"I...I did...I didn't, you baka's. Kebo's takeing a nap out on the balcony!"
"Merow?" Kebo entered as if on cue, and stretched. He sniffed his "gone" wife and curled up on her face. She suddenly sat up , gasping for air.
"KEBO'S GHOST!!" She shreiked, jumping back. "You're going to get it now, Sim!"
"She didn't cook him!" Trinity filled her in.
"Oh...KEBO!" She hugged the purring kitten.
"Boy. She recovers quickly." Sim snickered
~OWARI~
Walk This World
"Damn it!" SImoriah screamed because of the wound on her arm. It bleed heavily. "What do you want?"
"Don't you remember me, my queen? The hooded demon asked.
"...Shinigami...?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Who is that freak?" Hiiro asked Sim
"Your creator." Shini answered
"Can't be.." he mumbled.
"So, why is he fighting mother?" Ashita asked impatiently.
"Who is this?" Shini asked, noticeing Simoriah's daughter.
"None of your bussiness!!" Sim spat.
"Your offspring?"
"Go to hell."
Shini laughed and walked over to her.
"Yes. She's your offspring."
He grinned evilly and vanished, reapearing beside Ashita.
"Such a pretty little girl. It would be a shame if something happened to this beautiful child."
"Don't you touch her!" Sim snarled.
"I have a good mind to take her with me."
"I'll kill you."
"You can't."
"I WILL!!"
"She will be a fine queen, don't you think so? She's the next best thing to her mother."
"Bastard!" Ore interupted.
Shinigami looked at him thoughtfully.
"You are not this offspring's fraturnal unit. Why are yopu so protective?"
"You would never understand."
"Her mate?" Shini asked Simoriah.
"No. He's MY mate."
"Another?"
"Yes."
"Intresting."
"Ore is her adopted father."
"I see. You will come with me now, Simoriah."
"Never."
"Then I shall take the child."
"No. You won't."
Simoriah pulled out her scythe.
"You still have that toy?" Shini taunted.
"Yes."
"I nearlly defeated you before and now Mrs. Berlow and her mate Lucas, aren't here to save you. I f you ask me, you look a little rusty. You haven't used that wepon in centuries."
"Mother.." Ashita began in a shaky, frightened voice.
"SILENCE!" Shinigami shouted.
The ten year old girl cowared. Shinigam felt Sim's power rise with anger as she went super saiya-jin.
The god of death pulled a small dagger and held it to Ashita's throat.
"Attack if you dare."
With a sigh, she powered down and put her scythe away.
"What's the matter?" Shini smiled.
"The price was just too high."
"Then you will come with me?"
"...yes..."
"NO! YOU CAN'T!" Trinity gasped.
"Simoriah..." Ore wispered.
"I'm sorry." she apologized with her head bowed. Triniity saw tears fall from her eyes. "This time I just couldn't win."
"Don't give up!" Mika yelled to her.
"I have to."
Shinigami listened with heartless pleasure."A wise decision, my queen." he anounced "However...I have no use for the child."
He cut her throat.
Time seemed to slow as Ashita's limp body fell at his feet. He kicked it carelessly aside. Trinity and Mika ran to her.
"...she's dead!" Mika exclaimed through tears.
Ore and Hiiro drew their swords.
"Oh, do you two wish to fight?" Shini laughed and motioned with his hand "Why don't you fight each other then?"
Something seemed to snap off in their eyes. They slowly turned to each other and began to fight.
"Stop! You aren't enemies!" Trinity pleaded with them.
"They can't hear you." Sim said quietly. Her voice sounded hollow. She was standing above her daughter now. Bright red blood glistened on her fingers. "I lost another one...why can't I just..." she began to cry again.
"MAKE THEM STOP!" Kebo shook her shoulders.
"I can't."
"You have to!"
"I'M A WARRIOR! NOT A WIZARD! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!" she lashed out at him, her eyes flashed red.
Kebo turned his attentions back to his wimpering wife. Suddenly Hiiro screamed. Sim spun around. To her horrorOre's sword had penetrated Hiiro's chest completly. Ore pulled his blade out from his freind's chest and Hiiro droped to the ground.He seemed to understand what had just happened and so did Ore. Trininty and Simoriah ran toward him.
"Hiiro!" Trin sobed.
Simoriah examined the wound.
"You heal him." Trinity demanded.
"I haven't used those powers in two hundred years." She wispered.
"DO IT!"
Sim placed her hands over the wound and began to concentrate. Her hands seemed to glow with a green light but the glow quickly vanished.
"Don't die Hiiro. I can't save you." She admited.
Trinity held his hand. It was hard for her to accept this.
"Die my love," he said to Trinity "Is the last thing that I shall do."
His head fell limply to the ground.
"No...NO!"
"What just happened?" Ore asked, confused.
"MORTALS!!!" Shinigami shouted.
"You..." Sim seethed.
"It is time for us to depart, my queen."
"I'll never become your mate....WE HAD A DEAL!!"
"Nonsense! I never agreed to anything! But you did."
"Forget it."
Sim took the bloody sword from the bewildered Ore. He looked at her sadly.
"You promised!" Shinigami remined.
Sim glared as she walked toward the god of death.
"I never was an honest woman."
"That's why you are the perfect mate for me!"
Sim snapped. Going super saiya-jinn again she drove the sword into his chest.
"GO BACK TO HELL!" she screamed.
Shinigami looked at her. His expression was almost hurt. Green blood oozed, and Shini disapered.
"You killed him." Mika said, comming up behind Simoriah.
"No. I never will."
"Yes you did. And he deserved it too, killing them."
"He's done much more."
Mika looked at her stuned for a moment then turned her attentions away. Sim smiled weakly and handed Ore his sword.
"I killed him." Ore wispered, looking down at his friend.
"I know."
"He can't be saved?"
"No."
"I..."
"I can't stay here."
He smiled for some reason.
"Why not?"
"Too many memmories..."
"But I need you..."
"No you don't. Go home. Take care of your planet, or whatever it is you do. I don't want to see you again. You'll find someone else."
"YOU'RE NOT BEING FAIR!"
"I never was."
Ore frowned. With an angry grunt he threw his wedding ring at her feet.
"Always and forever...my ass." he turned and stormed off.
***
"Where will you go?" Trinity asked her cousin.
Sim calmly packed her things.
"I don't know yet."
"Back to Kitty? Or the Endurance?"
"No."
"Then where?"
"The only person I could ever depend on."
"Vegeta?"
"No!"
"I don't understand."
"There is one person in this entire galaxy who was always a freind to me, no matter what. He always forgave me...no matter what sin."
"JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU'RE GOING!"
Sim stoped and looked at her. She smiled and pulled the Earth's four star dragonball out of her pocket. Carefully she opened Trinity's hand and placed the orb in it.
"Where did you get that?"
Sim shrugged.
"I've always had it, ever since I lost my memory. I guess...before then I had illusions of doing something great with them. No more....no more." she pulled out another ball and handed it over.
"You have two?"
"Four actually." she gave Trin a bag with the remaining balls.
"Take of those. They're my freinds."
"Freinds?"
"A soul is contained within each ball. I have the fourth, second, sixth, and third. Vegeta's in the third. I was looking for the seventh. Pan's in that one."
"You mean she's.."
"Yeah. She's dead."
"Then you're going to Son Gohan."
"Yeah..." Oni sighed and hugged her cousin. "Collect all of 'em, okay? Bring Hiiro back."
"I won't."
"What?"
"I won't."
"Just do it.."
"I won't."
Simoriah hugged her cousin for the last time.
"I'll send someone for my things latter. Good-bye Trin."
***
The instant teloportation landed Sim right at Gohan's front door.
"What the..."
There was something heavy in her trench coat pocket. She reached in and pulled out the three star dragon ball.
A tear slid down her cheek.
"Thanks~~"
***
After Simoriah left, Ore went back to his home planet. Things around the capsule corp went back to relativey normal. Shinigami never returned, that much Sim knew. Trinity and Mika went on with their lives. The world rotated on it's axis. Day and night came. And as always, things moved on but a know, that's a whole lot of other stories.
