---------------
"Oh, that sounds delightful, what a wonderful idea!" Caressla's voice could be heard in the throne room. No one was there now except her, Whis, and that same boy from before who escorted the crowd.
"We could add some concession stands with your home planet's best dishes and add some of the earth's food on it as well, I'm positive Bulma could stir something up with the ingredients you allow her to use.~" Whis's voice chimed in, soon it showed the two standing before the throne itself.
"Yes, that does sound like a splendid idea, but where would you like to put them? Some tables and chairs would be a nice addition as well, along the sidelines there," the Queen looked at the walls behind the tall pillars that lined up the wide pathway to her throne.
"Indeed, it'll allow room to dance and enjoy themselves in the center. Hmm...how about some music as well? I have a few in mind that Akasma may like but would it be appropriate for you?" he asked, looked over at her form and kept that content smile of his.
"Yes, I approve. The lights must be dimmed too, to add to the atmosphere," Caressla replied and looked up at the ceiling. Diamond-looking lights lit up the ceiling, much like those polls out in the city's center against the many shops. They chatted among themselves and were planning out the theme and the setup for the party, knowing her day was nearing...
On the other hand, Akasma was in her room playing with her kitten and Beerus was sitting on her bed with his legs crossed. He watched her play with Chime, watching the kitten paw constantly at the feathered cat toy. His slits were watching the toy like any other cat would, tail flapping up and down all the while. "Hey, when are you gonna tell Whis how you feel...?" he asked, making her pause in her movement and peer up at him with confusion in her eyes.
"C- Confess...? I... I was waiting for a g-good...t-time... I really...don't know when the best time is..." she mumbled, sulked, and shrunk in her spot. Averting her eyes, she saw him frown but didn't notice him smirk when she looked away.
"Heh, why not later or something...? Or on your birthday?" he asked, not once letting up on his smirk and kept his tail flailing.
She blushed and brought her knees up against her chest, obviously sitting on the bed with him. "O-Okay...that... That works... Thank you..." her soft, sweet, mumbled reply met his ears, and soon began petting her kitten with her purring from the touch. She smiled contently at the sight and loved her little Chime...~ "I wonder if everyone...will like it here...for a few days," she spoke out her thoughts and widened her eyes.
"They should, you went through all this trouble and patience to get their butts here. It's a token of your gratitude, anyone would be glad..." he stated matter of factly, plopped his elbow in his thigh, and laid his cheek on his fist. Oddly enough, Akasma was the only person that never really angered him and he felt comfortable around her... I wonder why...of all the people I've met, Akasma's the only one that I don't lose my temper with... Maybe it has something to do with her pure innocence, or how...pure she is...huh... he mentally contemplated, laid down on her bed with his arms behind his head, and stared at the ceiling.
All she did was remain silent, before smiling even more and secretly nodding to his words. "Listen..." she heard him speak up.
Leaning to the side to view his laying form, she blinked in wonder. "Yes...?" She asked.
"If you're in danger and Whis isn't around...you can rely on me... I don't tell just anyone this, so don't get any wrong ideas...!" he rose his voice a bit and blushed, not once looking her way. "Besides, since your my self-proclaimed sister...it's my job to keep you safe, right...? We're siblings now..." his face was beet-red, he never really had to say stuff like that and it actually embarrassed the crap out of him.
She smiled, nodded, and faintly blushed. "I... I never had...a sibling before... H-How...should I approach you...?" she asked, looked away, and curled up a bit more against her knees.
"Just call me brother or somethin', I don't care... I mean, I'm older than you so...big bro or something..." he answered, flipped onto his side to where his back faced her and tucked his arm under his head; he didn't want her to see his red face...
"Alright...erm...then I would be...s-sister...or...little...sister?" she asked through hesitation and blushed a bit, feeling embarrassed... She's never had to call anyone that before nor ever being called sister, herself, so embarrassment was evident on her features.
"Yeah, like that..." Beerus spoke next, then soon sat up and got off her bed. He turned to face her and smirked, before folding his arms. "Come and get me if you need me, sis.~ I'm gonna hit the hay, it's been a looooong day..." he smiled, walked to the door, and stretched.
"G- Goodnight!" the girl stuttered nervously and perked up a bit. Seeing him wave as he walked out the door then shut it, she smiled and giggled. "I have a big brother now Chime, isn't that cool?~" she cheered silently and snuggled her kitten. Now she knew how to approach him next time, she never understood the whole brother and sister thing from the start but...now she did. I guess if you have known someone for a long time but have no romantic feelings for each other, I suppose you could be closer than friends... Close, like...siblings. It makes sense now...her monologue echoed and giggled, before laying down next to her kitten. As she slowly drifted off to sleep, Whis who stood next to her door the entire time, smiled and shook his head.
"Siblings, now...?~" Whis teased with his eyes closed, looked over at Beerus, and chuckled.
"Hey, we're close so why not...? Besides, I was being serious when I said she's the only one that doesn't anger me...! It's comfy to be around her, I honestly don't know why..." he admitted, looked away, and shut his eyes.
"Perhaps it's because of how soft-hearted and gentle she is, not harmful, and very smart. On top of that, powerful.~" the Angel complimented and walked past his pupil with his arms behind his back.
"Maybe... Oh right, what were you and Caressla talking about?" the cat asked, walked with him and paced to his side.
"Just ideas that we could add to the party, for Akasma's birthday. Why do you ask?" Whis questioned and looked down at the doom kitty with a content smirk.
"You guys are setting up a party?! Don't forget to add a lot of food! Wait... I didn't even get her anything..." Beerus mumbled the last part and moved his slits up in thought, placing a claw to his chin.
"No, but you could, however...find her something before bedtime. Caressla stated that her birthday will be held tomorrow and she's already set up signs saying to attend the ball at the castle, during sunset. She even gave everyone money willingly, because she knew we were foreigners and had no knowledge of this world's currency. So, she gave every guest here one hundred and twenty-five Shibins to spend, each," Whis explained, smiled with his eyes shut, and chuckled.
"One hundred and twenty-five Shibins...? That doesn't sound like a lot..." the feline frowned until he got an answer from his teacher.
"Not entirely... One hundred and twenty-five Shibins, is three hundred dollars in earth money. So, with that money, what do you plan on spending it on?" he questioned, looked down at him again, and grinned.
The cat smiled and just laughed to himself. "I have some ideas, but, not gonna tell you... You might just steal'em from me," Beerus teased and put his hands against his backside.
"Hmhm, now, why would I ever do that my lord?~" Whis teased back, closed his eyes, and entered their guest room.
~~~Tomorrow~~~
Now the day has come... Akasma's birthday has arrived and she was seen, being dragged by Eglantina all over the city's center...poor girl... "Over here!" Eglantina exclaimed and ran over to a shop that had diamond lights displayed in some cases. Everyone was shopping again, only this time it was in a gigantic building that had all sorts of things. It kind of resembled a mall...
"E- Eglantina, please, waaait!" Akasma shrieked and got yanked by her hand; they both wore their dresses and all. Hearing her saying aren't these pretty, made her look over and blink. "T- They are! I wonder...if..." she thought for a moment, lowered her gaze but shook her head to snap out of it. N- No! I can't buy anything for myself! I am being selfish, no! she mentally scolded herself with her eyes shut until a pair of fingers snapped in front of her face. Her eyes blinked and saw Eglantina frowning with seriousness on her face. "S- Sorry!" she rose her hands up in defense only to earn a smile from her ex-nemesis.
The pinky giggled with closed eyes and lowered her hand. "Silly! I have a surprise for you lateeeer, heheheheheheeee!~" she giggled, skipped over to the next isle that had goods, and caused Shigiyuki to raise a brow.
Why does everyone seem like they're hiding something...? It's not my birthday yet, my birthday doesn't come in another month... she mentally pondered, soon having depression engulf her face and her eyes to meet the floor.
"Akasuumaaaa! Look here, this looks just like you!" Eglantina cooed and rose up a cute little plushy that seemed cute and tiny like her.
"I- It does!" Akasma giggled and paced over to her, smiling happily now. So what if they're hiding something, it's better for me not to know right? she asked in her head and examined all of the goods on the shelf. There were toys, art supplies (Aeronan style), music, everything you could think of in that gigantic building. She and Eglantina roamed the entire place, enjoying themselves with the sights.
Piccolo was viewing some sort of odd fish pet that swam in a large rectangular glass casing filled with water. Bulma was looking through all of the scientific supplies they had and was rather amazed at all the tools. Vegeta was looking at some sort of training dummy that looked padded, alongside Goku who was next to him. The two boys were gawking at all of the child's toys, Buu was trying out samples that other Aeronans gave out by a stand and Gohan was looking at mathematics that was in the study section.
Everyone was looking at their own preferred places with their interests piqued. Whis, Beerus, Vados, and Champa were followed Akasma and Eglantina around to keep an eye on them. Whis chatted with his sister and Beerus argued with his brother, whilst looking at all the things around them. Hmhmhm, I know just the perfect gift...~ Whis mentally mused, looked over at a necklace that had a male and female figure in the middle, holding each other. He had a feeling that it was perfect, something inside him was screaming that's it!.
So he passed up the group and went to pick it up, it said one hundred Shibins, that'd take up most of his money...yet...he didn't care... He picked it out anyway and added it to a hexagonal prism box that was made of stained, indestructible glass. It appeared to be a shopping item to use to store things in it, like some shopping basket or a cart on earth. He placed the necklace inside, it seemed to be made of a diamond material and sparkled a few rainbow colors.
Later Akasma managed to snag some time so she could work on that song she made. She was back at the castle in her room, practicing and when she stopped...she smiled so big that tears ran down her cheeks. "Mother, Father...you loved me that much... I never knew..." she kept wiping tears away that fell and that sweet smile was evident. She could see the past between her mother and Caressla, she could also feel the love of her parents towards her, so now...she knew... She knew just what to name it! she smiled, hidden thoughts ran through her mind and a blush tainted her cheeks. With a knock on her door occurring, she accepted and called them in. "C- Come in..." she shyly spoke, looked up at the door, and saw the same escort boy from before.
He was blushing and smiling with the door open. "The Queen wants to see you, it's important..." he nervously answered and laughed with closed eyes.
"A- Alright...thank you," she replied and stood to her feet until the boy rose a hand.
"She also said to bring your violin, for a...reason," he added, opened his eyes to her Angelic appearance, and blushed even deeper. He looked away with a frown and slowly stepped out of the room.
With that, she did exactly as she was told and went to look for her. In the distance, she could hear music playing and couldn't make out where it was coming from... "There you are Akasma!" Bulma shouted and ran to her, with Eglantina behind her in the shadows. "I've actually been looking for you! Chichi and I went and spent the money we were given, to buy you something! We put our money together and-" she cut herself off, turned, and pointed in the shadows. Out came Chichi and Eglantina holding a long, beautiful ice blue dress that seemed almost white. "Come on, you have to try it on and show the Queen!" she exclaimed and gestured for the two to bring it closer.
"W- Why? Nothing special is happening and..." she trailed off, looked at the breath-taking dress and stopped her speech.
"It is special, just do it! Eglantina was willing to put up with us enough to help us pick it out and carry it!" Bulma stated and leaned into her ear. "She didn't want anything to do with us, she said she only cared about you because you were her friend..." she whispered, then added... "So we convinced her somehow..." her words finished it off and a big grin formed.
"EEEH?!" Akasma yelled out in surprise, leaned back, and blushed. Nodding and gulping, she looked over with a heavy shade of red on her face and took it. Bulma pushed her into the nearest room, made sure no one was in there and helped her into the dress. Chichi looked over at Eglantina, soon sweating and scooting a bit away from her in fear. Just seeing those red eyes of hers piercing through the darkness...creeped her out...
About a minute passed and Akasma was being pushed back out of the room. Chichi, Bulma and Eglantina all gasped in awe. "You look so lovely in that dress!" Chichi exclaimed and put a hand on her cheek.
"I knew she would, her eyes match the color, and the dress hugs her waist, then sprawls out near the thighs! It suits her grace!" Bulma chirped and heard Eglantina giggle.
"YOU LOOK PREEETTYYY!" the pinky, in her red dress, cheered with arms up in the air and a happy feature. Akasma just looked away blushing, oddly enough...the dress came with heels too...it just so happened to be Eglantina's present.
"Come oooon, we have to hurry!" Both Chichi and Bulma said in unison, pulled on her wrist, and tugged her down the hall. Her heels clicked against the marble floor and pillars that people could see the night sky through had moonrays beaming through them.
"W-W- Wait a minuute!" Akasma yelled in a panic.
~~~Time le skip!~~~
In the throne room dimmed lights flickered up near the ceiling, music played, concession stands were all lined up near the entrance of the castle inside, and fully decorated chairs and table sets littered alongside the walls behind the tall pillars.
White, nearly see-through lace, coated the ceiling and spread across to each pillar high near the ceiling. Drapes of gold, pink, silver, all colors were hanging near the entrance. People were all in the middle dancing, chatting and some were eating at the tables. In the middle of the entire throne room, a gorgeous diamond light sparkled like a rainbow and cascaded specs of colors in the air around everyone. Those sparkles could truly be seen through the dimmed light, making it look dark with many different colored fireflies from earth, flying around.
Akasma was stunned, everything looked gorgeous, like a dream... Her eyes were wide and saw all the multi-colored sparkles float around everyone's breathing space. Seeing people dancing in ravishing gowns and suits, laughter, happiness everywhere, and fun. She smiled brightly at the sight and blushed. Her eyes twinkled at it as well until she came across Caressla. "C- Caressla..." she muttered, looked away, and could feel her gaze on her.
"You look, splendid dear. Do you like the dress?" she asked as she sat on her throne and had her hands clasped in her lap politely. Seeing her nod shyly, she smiled with a motherly look in her eyes and stood from her seat. "Have you finished your mother's notes and turned it into your own song?" she asked, now looking down at her.
"Y- Yes..." Shigiyuki simply stated and slowly rose the notes, music player, violin, and smiled cutely.
"Wonderful.~" That was all she said, then made her way towards the center of the room and gently pulled Akasma along. The girl had no idea what was going on until Caressla leaned in towards her ear and whispered. "Happy birthday.~" she spoke, causing the girl to widen her eyes and blush with lips parted.
"B- But it is not my birthday yet!" she rose her voice in shock and hugged her violin a tiny bit.
"Yes...it is... It seems you had forgotten your own birthday after you left Fiijishara for six years...dear. So, I lied and told you it was in two months so I could plan ahead without you getting any ideas...forgive me," she apologized, smiled sweetly, leaned down, and kissed her forehead in a motherly fashion. Tears strolled down Akasma's cheeks as her aunt did this, eyes narrowed and was practically on the verge of crying. "Sweetie, sweetie...do not cry, alright? Save the tears for Whis...because he has a special gift for you, that not even I could ever give..." she explained, giggled , and pointed over to Whis who stood...in a handsome suit!
Though he could barely be seen since he remained near the wall and in the shadows, but she could still see his lips in plain sight...they were smiling. "Everyone is here at your party, even those who are not aware of you... So give them a taste of your creativity and expose it," she encouraged, caressed her niece's cheek gently, and smiled. She rose back up and her voice, making the music lower. "Everyone, my niece here will be performing a song...in memory of her mother and my dear sister. This is a special song, something that she made! She dreams of becoming a professional violinist like her mother, so do give her a round of applause for her many years of effort!" she rose her voice, her arm and watched as everyone clapped. Akasma blushed so hard, shut her eyes, and hurried to put the music player down.
The girl got ready and held her violin to her neck; she had picked the one song that didn't even have a name, until now... "I...c-call this song..." she began, eyes shut and heart beating. All was silent, everyone...even her pals from planet earth. They were all eager to hear the one and only song she's ever created on her own...with the help of some notes made by her mother.

(:D This is her final violin song and I hope you like it! It's suiting in my opinion.~ )
"Elements..." she finished. Soon, music picked up and she strung her first violin piece. She paused, held her violin bow there then picked it back up once her next violin piece started.
Gently she played, eyes closed and lips parted with tears streaming down her cheeks. Her tune got higher and higher as she played. Soon the song got a bit softer and she began to lower the tune. She could see elements all around her and her mother and Caressla holding hands. They were fighting against an enemy of darkness with light elements in their body, shooting out like stars of many colors. Ki beads of all colors spiraled into a heart, soon creating something special. The heart glowed and dispersed, showing a baby figure in the bright light.
Caressla was wielding her spear-like weapon against foes who tried to charge at the baby and her mother carried it off in her arms, defending it along the way with her own attacks. Her father came into view and everything died down, they spun around each other like a couple in a music box. They appeared plastic now and the box itself was being held in the hands of Caressla, she was smiling contently with wounds on her body and a gleeful look in her yellow eyes.
The scene zoomed out again and exposed a pure white atmosphere, now showing flares from the sun, oceans sparkling beneath it, the ground full of nature in the distance and wind bellowing against the many trees on the land. Ki beads flew up into the sky with Chisivans soaring high through the clouds and circling Caressla's body that flew with her ki wings out. Her sister alongside her, Akasma's father flying beside her mother and the couple assisting the baby in their arms.
Loving expressions filled her parent's faces and Caressla had a protective look on hers. She had her ki-formed armor on and her spear out ready to defend the two. Chisivans all flew around them like a flock and coated them like a fog. Soon everything changed and showed many rainbows of bright colors grazing the fluffy clouded sky above with Chisivans soaring through it.
Fire engulfed the scene, changing it and exposing the heat from the battle Caressla had to face countless times in the past. Water took over the view and splashed, showing Akasma's mother with her violin in hand and fish all around her. The ground quaked and out came her father, slicing at an invisible enemy and training with his skills that Shigiyuki learned. A strict look in his blue eyes said it all... Then...came air...the baby, it was being held tightly in both arms of the mother and father, whilst Caressla was in her throne in the background, a large version of her with a motherly look in her eyes.
Soon the song ended...and so had the melody that resonated from her music player. Akasma took her stick away from her violin, tears down her cheeks and a soft smile on her lips. Slowly she opened her eyes, just to jump at the sound of insane clapping from her audience. Everyone from earth was stunned... "That was beautiful, Akasma...~" Caressla came out from the shadows due to leaving her side earlier and had a single tear down her face. Hands clasped together, she paced on over to Akasma and smiled. "Ladies and gentlemen, Akasma Shigiyuki's song... Elements.~" she announced, just to earn another round of applause. Akasma blushed and fidgeted with her dress, after looking away.
Later everyone gave her their gifts and she happily received them with a blushing face. They all ate sweets and many other foods until Caressla came over and leaned in towards her ear. "Now, I believe Whis has been waiting for you...~" Caressla stated softly and gestured for the said Angel to come out.
Vados was so relieved that her brother found someone and couldn't help but want to find a good song for her... "I think this calls for a song for Akasma and Whis, wouldn't you agree lord Champa?" she questioned, peeked over at Champa and grinned.
"Sure... I don't care..." he replied and grinned, before heading over to the concession stands and chowing down. His words confirmed his attendant and she swayed her staff to the side, making new music play.
(I know it's ironic, but I think it's perfect! XD)

Akasma stared in awe at Whis, who came out of the shadows wearing a formal suit. In a maroon and black suit, his hair was slicked down and went past his neck. He gave a hand out to her and bowed like a gentleman, smiling with those purple lips of his. "May I have this dance?~" he sang, making her blush and nod cutely.
Slowly they began to dance, she didn't know why in the world that song that's playing..matched him... They danced around gracefully, her staring at him in awe, him gazing into her marble turquoise eyes. She felt like she was so light on her feet...like she was flying and nothing was around her. Suddenly, he placed that very necklace around her, saying. "Happy birthday...~" he whispered softly and continued to dance.
She looked down at the beautiful necklace and gasped, her eyes twinkling in awe. "It's...it's lovely...!~" she cooed, closed her eyes, and looked back up at him with them open. Again, her eyes widened, instantly dazed once more and every time she tried to avert her gaze...she couldn't... "W- Whis... I..." she began, staring widely in shock. she felt so dazed, making her eyes narrow a bit and blush even more.
"You look so enchanting tonight, Akasma.~" he complimented, causing her face to heat up ten shades of red but...she didn't hide it...
T- Thank you..." she answered, not once breaking her gaze from his tall and handsome features. They began to dance a bit faster to the song, their eyes never leaving each other and Akasma too dazed to even think straight. "I..." she tried to get her mind to focus on her own words until he came close and placed his hands around her waist. As if on instinct, she wrapped her arms around his neck... She felt like she was on cloud nine now, floating high above everyone else, and...well when she looked down finally...they actually were.
High above where the diamond light sparkled its colorful specs. Multi-colored specs of light littered around their space and made it feel that much more enchanting. "I..." she was finally going to say it, she rose up to him and got close to his lips with a loving gaze in her eyes. "Love you..." she whispered with her soft and sweet voice, kissed him, and made his eyes widen by a fraction.
He knew that was coming but for her to actually do it... It surprised him. He kissed back and deepened it, shutting his eyes when she did. When they broke the kiss, Akasma widened her eyes and began to get flustered. What did I just do!? Did I confess?! she panicked in her mind until Whis lifted her chin back up and leaned in.
"I love you too...Akasma...with all of my Angelic being.~" he cooed honestly and kissed her again. Beerus from below had his arms crossed and was sitting in a chair next to a gawking Eglantina. The pinky stared in awe at the feline, he was wearing a suit too and she was so dazed. The cat smirked, nodded, and watched his attendant finally get the woman he longed for. This is my present...letting you two be alone, so she can finally confess.~ he mentally stated.
Now it showed Caressla chuckling, alongside Vados and Champa. Then back to Whis and Akasma, he pulled her against him a bit tighter, keeping his hold on the blushing yound woman. I love him...so much... So much... she whispered in his mind as the scene faded to black and the song ended.

Through the clouds, the ending theme played and brushed through them like the beginning of the story. Chisivans flew by, more than one, and brushed through them with you. It showed scenes of Akasma's adventure, showing her cuteness, shyness, her overcoming fear, the courage she gained, the friends she got, and more. It showed everything that happened in the story, then eventually exposed the beauty of Fiijishara below. Chisivans and Aeronans flew through the sky with random credits rolling up the screen.
