Throughout the ride, Akasma riding with Whis and Goku, they had finally arrived at Lord Beerus's planet. Vegeta sensing this he stepped forward with his face in side-view and stood next to a fish in a bowl. It was a talking fish that resided in a fishbowl on top of a staff, facing the said Saiyan. "It's about time..." he mumbled only to have the fish next him turn to him.

"So you finally learned how to sense the power levels of deities, well look at you.~" The fish held a high-pitched, doubled voice and spoke playfully.

~~~Elsewhere~~~

In came Whis in his green bubble, Goku and Akasma were still attached. Akasma hearing her kitten cry out she peered down and lifted up the carrying case to peek inside. Chime was pawing at the door piece, begging to be let out only for her to giggle and have her Aeronan iris squint. Her face blushed slightly, her lips curled up into a soft smile, and her only visible eye held kindness. "It's ok Chime, we are almost there...~" she softly whispered, not realizing that Whis heard her.

Whis looked over his shoulder and smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth ever so slightly curving up. He chuckled at the cute display of Akasma, amused by her actions. She is quite innocent...~ he mentally noted before turning his attention forward once more. "Do you like the view?" he questioned the two.

Goku gasped as he watched the many trees below scroll past. He was surprised and rather intrigued by the beauty of the planet; he kept making whoa and awe reactions when every new part of the forest came in. Akasma, blinked, viewing the place and her eyes twinkled in astonishment. She never really took a good look at everything, she mostly walked everywhere when she was brought there for the first time. The entire planet was beautiful, so colorful with nothing but peace radiating from it. She smiled sweetly at it, not even seeing that Whis was staring at her again.

Once they landed, Akasma stepped aside and hurried to hide her face halfway behind the cat carrier and her other belongings. Vegeta was standing there, arms to his sides and his full attention on the teal man; taking a quick glance at Akasma, he looked back at the tall male. "Welcome back Whis, everything is in order..." he stated, his expression looked like some soldier that was greeting his Sargent and squinted his eyes at seeing a small piece of an orange Gi... Until he heard the very man he's been trying to surpass...chirp.

"Heeey, what's up pal!?" Goku began as he peeked from around Whis, with a salute gesture to his forehead. Vegeta mumbled Kakerot... under his breath, his teeth now gritting into view. Hearing the fish next to him saying how good he was at predicting prophecies, he ignored the comment and watched as the said sensei paced towards them.

Akasma just watched everything play out, backing up slightly with her things still hiding the lower half of her face. As everything went on, she put her stuff down and kneeled down to her kitten. She smiled sweetly at the little fluff ball, her silver fur barely glistening from what light shined down upon the door's window. "We're here, now we just need to find out when we are going to go back to Fiijishara.~" She spoke quietly to her silver fluffertins, trying not to disturb Vegeta, Whis, and Goku. After the rambling slowly died down, she heard Whis call for her.

"Come now, Akamsa.~ I would like to share this delicacy with you if you don't mind.~" he sang with delight, turned to her and watched as she viewed the man. The Aeronan shut her eyes, nodded, and blushed heavily. She didn't shy away like before, her expression was adorable and she didn't even hide it this time. Whis's marbles softened at her response at seeing her cute features. He watched her pick her belongings up and trot over to him, her head down and a small smile on her gray lips. He chuckled at her reaction, then soon walked in a specific direction.

"Need help?~" The fish questioned, as it hovered to the tall man's other side.

"I supposed I could share a few pieces as long as you don't tell Lord Beerus. Akasma and I are going to share this between us too, we'll make sure to save some for him.~" He cooed, just to hear the fish cheer in response and to see Akasma hide her blush by covering herself up with her belongings. Faint flushes dusted his cheeks at seeing her act like that, then soon died down when he peeked over at the fish again. "You have a premonition about this, too?" he teased with a wink.

He-... He keeps staring at me... Why does he keep staring?! W-Why am I blushing so hard, do I like him...? I don't understand... Akasma panicked a bit in her head, cutesy bubble animations popped above her head as she hid her face; soon her thoughts changed to who the man is. He is so sweet...so kind...to me... Mother...father... I think I really do like him... Is this called a love interest that Mother spoke of before I left my planet? My...his eyes are so pretty... They look kind when they are directed at me, yet, passive when directed at others. He even helped me train when I asked for it... To help me better understand the other Ki beads, so I could practice with them... Just standing near him makes my heart race... I can feel his heat radiating from him... It's so warm...so comforting...so nice... she added, her face now becoming even redder than before. W-Wait...is this his heat...? she asked herself, her only visible iris soon having its eyelid descend halfway down. Her mouth was barely parted, her breaths were heavy and she felt like she was losing strength. This...can't be... I...took the antidote... No...this isn't it...this must...be a... Before she could finish her monologue, she stumbled slightly and leaned on Whis's bicep.

The man feeling a sudden weight rest on his arm, he looked down and saw a panting Akasma. He blinked in curiosity but soon was replaced with worry when he noticed her gradually slide off of him. "Oh my, Akasma are you alright?" he asked with concern, yet not a single answer... He heard her drop her belongings and the kitten started meowing, Chime must have sensed something off about her owner. Catching her, he held her up with his other arm after dismissing his staff and helped her back to her feet. "Akas-" He began, only to cut himself off when he saw her face. Her face was red, small beads of sweat trailed down her skin and her eyes were barely focused. Raising a hand, he felt her forehead and gasped. "Oh dear, you have a fever!" he exclaimed, eyes wide and his mouth in a line. Quickly summoning his staff, he tapped the ground and made her things vanish, sending them elsewhere. He dismissed his staff again and picked her up, along with the box of goods that were placed on the ground a moment ago. "No no, this will not do... Fevers might have a great effect on Aeronans, best get you in bed," he spoke like some sort of doting parent then disappeared.

He reappeared in the same house she was given when she was last there. Placing her on a bed and conjuring a bowl of cold water to the side, he summoned a cloth piece; he dunked it in the water and folded it, placing it on her forehead. "I will give you your share of sweets, it'll be on this small table when you wake up..." Quietly he spoke, so he wouldn't disturb her, she was already calming down a bit. Her panting had stopped a few minutes after he placed the rag on her, so she smiled and stared at her resting form. "I'll also bring you food when you wake up... Don't need your fever getting worse. I know the perfect substance for you to eat, it's a foreign food but you will have to eat it to recover.~" he quietly sang and was about to leave, when he heard her mumble a faint thank you with a soft whisper. He looked back over, blinked then smiled once more, and soon he disappeared, leaving the Aeronan to sleep off the fever.

~~~With Egli~~~

Eglantina had followed them from space, she hid in one of the large tree branches after dismissing her wings. Surprisingly, she didn't get spotted by the four others who stood on the platform. She saw how they all chatted amongst themselves, her red irises focused solely on Akasma, and watched as her target began to talk to her feline companion. Shworvin was crouched, both presence and ki hidden from everyone's senses. After a bit, she saw Akasma look up at Whis who called for her. The pallid Aeronan gathered her belongings and rushed over to him, smiling and nodding all the while. Aw, how adorable!~ It appears my target loves that man, maybe... I should get rid of Mr. Whis...~ Playing with my prey never comes last, when it comes to killing them. She also seems to be friends with that orange gi-wearing male and that shorter male in gray.~ Heeeeheheheheheee...! I am going to have so much fun! she mentally cheered, soon seeing Whis and her target walk away from the other two. Make me cooount, make me coooount, one by one and two by two! I'll kill them after all, just...for...you...~ she sang in her mind, blushing and sneaking around the branches to keep an eye on everyone. Giggling to herself, she saw how Akasma suddenly collapsed and was caught by Whis's arms. He picked her up bridal style and vanished, making...Eglantina giggle even more. Rolling her red irises over to view the two Saiyans, a smirk formed behind that pink tight mask of hers. It never hurts to wait I suppose, I should pick a good time to attack. Picking a good location to attack, would be a great idea!~ she cooed again in her mind, shut her eyes, and giggled once more.

As she followed the Saiyans, she watched them do various chores including Lord Beerus's sheets. She waited outside for them, sitting on a branch where she was noticeable. Her legs were up against her chest, arms around her knees, and her two crossbow guns in both grips that stuck out a bit. Before the two even got outside, Whis appeared before the pinky with a serious feature to his face. Arms behind his back and leaned over slightly, his expression did NOT look happy. She cocked her head to one side, not once giving away any signs of hesitation or fear. "Hello Mr. Whis!~" she creepily greeted in a sing-song manner, even though it didn't faze him...

"I knew you were following us, Eglantina... Why are you so keen on trying to kill her...? You've killed so many of your own alternate versions and your family's alternate selves... Even eliminated their allies and friends," he explained rather harshly, not even glancing towards Lord Beerus's chambers. Seeing her lean forward and squint her gaze, she blushed before replying.

"Existing... That is all.~ If there was more than one of you, would you NOT feel special anymore?~" That question didn't even make Whis react, he just floated there contemplating on her response. She giggled at him, seeing him think about her answer.

"There is more to it, than what you're telling me..." That was all he replied with, before narrowing his gaze and lowering his head, allowing a veil of shadow to cast over his features.

She leaned back in a rush, laughed hard, kicked her feet like she had when she sat on that meteor in space, and held her stomach. "HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!~ OF COURSE, SILLY, OF COURSE THERE IS MORE!~" she exclaimed amusingly in midst of her laughter, then calmed down and fixed her sitting position. An index finger hovered before her masked lips then she leaned towards him slightly and blushed a bit. "But that is something that will never be told, it's an S-E-C-R-E-T...~" She quietly spelled out the word secret and cocked her head from side to side with each letter, still having that finger up. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!~" She stood up and was about to leave when...Whis said something that made her stop in her tracks.

"Do you wish to fight her with no interference?" With that, Eglantina slowly turned her head to view him over her shoulder. Her red pupils were shrunk and a huge blush dusted her cheeks.

"Why yes, it would be so nice to play with my prey first...~" A gleeful answer left her lips and Whis's eyes became more serious.

Closing his purple gaze, he sighed and opened them to her once more. He straightened up and peered directly into those crazed, shrunken red irises of hers. "Very well... If you go back to earth, in a few days or so I shall bring Akasma back there as well... If you are willing to wait a bit longer that is, then we will have no problem with her fighting you... She has trained so she could match your skill, there is but one way to see if she has. You cannot kill anyone that knows, are friends to or allies with Akasma... Do I make myself clear?" he questioned in the end, his voice was strict...he did not like the idea of Akasma some how getting killed... He cared about her a lot, she was so innocent and sweet...something that doesn't appear too often in fighters; there's so much about her that he just adores and loves.

"Yes, clearer than the ocean on Fiijishara!~ HEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEE!~" With that, she popped her wings out and vanished. She was gone now...he couldn't sense her ki or presence anywhere, so he assumed she was off Beerus's planet and in space.

Shutting his eyes, he thought about his words and from his backside, you could see his balled fists tightening. "Akasma...you best not allow her any openings when the two of you fight..." That was all he mumbled, before levitating into the air. Opening his irises, he made the sweet confections appear in his hand and lifted it. A small smile formed on his lips, even though that worried and sorrowful look remained in his eyes. He had given her a share of sweets before he appeared in front of the pinky.

~~~Later~~~

Whis had vanished and appeared around Goku and Vegeta. He saw the two Saiyans laying on the ground, many large baskets littered around them that were full of cut grass. He viewed them and held his staff in one hand. "I must say, the lawn looks wonderful. Now that you're finished, shall we begin your training?" He asked, now looking over at Goku with that same sorrowful look on his face.

Goku kicked his legs up and positioned himself in a standing posture. "Ready to train sir!" he answered quickly, with Vegeta making a hmph sound right after he took a stand.

"He could barely stand up a second ago..." Vegeta stated, whilst tossing his apron away in disgust.

"Before we start Goku, I have a new fighting outfit for you if you're open, for a change.~" he offered and kept his gaze upon the gi-guy.

"Wait, you got me a new outfit?" With that, Goku saw him tap the ground with his staff and make a new set of clothing appear in front of him. He put out his hands and grasped them in awe.

"You'll find that it fits you precisely and I stayed with the orange and blue you seem to like. Every detail has been tailored with your specific fighting style in mind. I would've made Vegeta one but Bulma gave him that armor, so I assumed it had sentimental value," Whis said, looking over at the Saiyan Prince who only humphed in response.

Goku hurried to put his new clothing on. After he was done, he looked down at his new attire and smiled. "I love it, thanks a lot!" he exclaimed, then did multiple backflips and performed a few combos in the air, testing it out.

"I'm so pleased that you find it to your liking Goku, are you fully prepared to break it in now?" he asked, watching him land back over to them in a crouching position and see him peer up to him with a grin.

"Yeah, let's do this!" exclaimed the Saiyan with confidence. It wasn't long when Whis put them to training, he worked them hard on a long road that they had to carry a square stone across. He made sure that they would get faster at carrying them, by making the road behind them disappear at an alarming rate.

After a while, the Seer came stumbling over and bounced off the obstacles behind him. After the fish landed, he warned Whis that it was time and had him respond. The teal man tapped his staff on the ground and sent the Saiyans into Lord Beerus's planet. He watched from afar, seeing a purple beam shot out from the tree. He chuckled, then started going on about how it all worked out and said that it was another successful training in the books.

When it was nighttime and he got done talking with the Oracle fish, he went and visited Akasma. He appeared in the guest room she resided in and saw her sitting at a table. He smiled softly, faintly blushed, and took in her features; stepping closer, he noticed she was still feverish. "Akasma..." His voice must have woken her up from her staring contest with the space in front of her. He saw her blink in question even though her fever was still pretty bad looking. "Are you feeling any better?~" He questioned worriedly then went to sit in the chair across from her. "I don't recall if I told you or not but you have come down with a terrible fever. You mustn't be out of bed, it will get worse," His explanation fell on her ears, before making a cold rag appear in his hands and taking a stand. He dismissed his staff, walked around the table, and picked her up.

"W-What...are you..." she muttered, she was too ill to even speak right now. Her eyelids felt heavy, her body felt hot, sweat was still going down her forehead but her panting was a bit lighter than earlier.

"I doubt fevers ever occur on your planet, so do listen to me when I say stay in bed. No matter how much hotter you feel under the blanket, you mustn't take them off," he mentioned, laid her down, and covered her up. He summoned his staff and tapped the ground, seeing as she was covered up he went ahead and made her attire change to a thin gown; he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable in bed. That made her blush a bit, aside from the illness she was still able to feel embarrassed. "Rest as much as you need to. Tomorrow, there is something I wish to inform you on," A bit of sympathy was heard in his voice before looked over and saw that those sweets he left there for her were gone; she had eaten them apparently.

"I had prepared dinner for you, here.~" He mused, tapped his staff, and made a cart appear next to him. It stood close to Akasma's bedside so she could reach up and grab whatever was on it. He turned slightly and lifted a silver lid that was on a platter, making a lovely fragrance waft up both their noses. "Mmm...smell that? This is just warm finger foods, so that way you won't have to sit up and eat on a tray.~ There is some juice over here, as well," he said, taking a glass of pink looking juice and handed it to her. A straw was in it, allowing her to take sips while laying down. "It's from a fruit, I know how you love those.~" The coo in his voice could be easily heard when he spoke.

"T-Thank...you..." Her response sounded weak, none the less, she took the glass and put the straw to her small, cute, gray lips. It tasted sweet, it had a small sourness to it and the flavor of a lemon that Bulma showed to her once. A sweet smile formed, her turquoise irises squinted, and sat the glass back on the cart. "Simisa...~" her own language slipped by accident after swallowing.

"I'm glad you like it! Do get better... In all honesty, it pains me to see you in such a state," he frowned, stepped closer, towered over her a bit, and leaned in. He kissed her forehead with that same dusted pink remaining and kept his lips on her forehead for a good minute, savoring the moment. He could already tell that she was a blushing mess, even though her face was red from the fever... When he lifted up, he noticed that she was shocked. Her blue irises had shrunk in surprise, mouth agape, and could hear the sound of her breath skipping every so often. He was mere inches, noses almost touching and a genuine, kind smile on his mouth. His eyes said it all, he was in love...but he didn't want to tell her that just yet. He rose the rest of the way, dismissed his staff and put his hands behind his back. "Goodnight, Akasma.~" he chirped, stepped away, and disappeared from sight.

She knew he wasn't there anymore, so she cupped her face and laid on her side. Her hair draped over her cheek, laying across her nose a bit, and almost hid that deep blush of hers. "He... He kissed me...?" she could feel her heart racing, so she curled up in a ball and felt Chime hopping up onto her bed.

"Mew!~" she sang, soon crawling over and laying in front of her face. She giggled lightly and tucked her kitten under her blanket, then moved the edge of the covers over half her face. She listened to the soft purring sound coming from Chime, it was soothing... It didn't take long for her fluffertins to fall asleep in her hold, Akasma giggled at that and smiled softly behind the blanket's edge. "Whis..." she whispered after shutting her eyes, mentally questioning why he kissed her forehead. She felt too weak to freak out over the kiss, she could still feel his soft lips on her... It left a lingering sensation.
