A/N: A couple of new foreign words from her language you should be aware of. Also, don't mind the gif, I thought it was hilarious! XD

Shimi (Pronunciation: She-me) Means: Not

Hotanda (Pronunciation: Ha-tawn-dah) Means: Again.

---------------------

Up in her tree where she hid her clothes, she stood on the branch and was kneeled down. She was in midst of changing, putting the final touches of her attire on by slipping on her boots. Zipping up her large briefcase, she picked it up and her violin case by their handles. Holding them in front of her form, she leaned over slightly and popped out her pallid wings. Ki wings...huh? It is indeed, an interesting name for them. Since we're natural-born ki users the name, Ki Wings would be most preferred. Ethereal illuminating wings is too long for a name... She mentally noted as she hovered toward the sky. Flying just over the trees, she saw some air bursts just ahead of her and it made her curiosity grow.

She soared higher into the air, straight into outer space, and almost got blown back when a giant blue blast of ki erupted. "Aaah!" She shrieked softly while raising her two items to shield herself. After the blast ceased, she peeked over her briefcase and violin case, only to witness that cat from before and the new guy. Next up, was a large sphere the size of a sun! It was coming towards the planet and made the said woman begin to panic. She felt fear building and common sense was screaming at her to flee. She was just about to take off in a hurry until a muscly voice stopped her.

"Now, now!~ Don't you want to see how this will turn out?" That made her freeze with her blue pupils shrinking. She didn't move, she knew whose voice that it belonged to and didn't want to face him. "Must you be so scared all the time...? I know it is your social phobia, but you must have gotten used to me by now!~" This time, she decided to view the man. Peeking over her shoulder, with her only visible marble she spotted that tall six-foot man from before. He smiled at her pleasantly with a faint giggle behind his closed lips.

She couldn't hide her face this time, so she turned forward again and held her items closely. The said man floated around to see her in front, whilst putting his hands behind his back after dismissing his treat. "Please don't hide, I just want to be able to talk with you and see your face. Besides, I have a parfait!~ Knowing your race, I doubt you have ever heard or tasted it before!~" He spoke, holding up the delicacy and a spoon in hand. A blush painted his cheeks while his eyes closed, smiling gleefully at the taste it gave.

"N- ...No...t-thank you..." she managed to spill out through stuttering breaths, still hiding behind those cases. He watched her after his expression turned into that of a frown, he hoped she wouldn't hide this time. He smiled softly once more with yet, another flush on his cheeks.

She is so adorable.~ He mentally cooed and kept his eyes glued to her frame.

"I absolutely love your dress, it is quite suiting!" He happily stated, trying to make her at least look at him. Though all that seemed to have done was make her blush heavily and hide even more. He chuckled at her flustered state and had not realized the time. Hearing Beerus's call, he looked up and smirked. "Well looks like I'll be going, Akasma!~ I shall visit you again, no matter where you are! Of course, I will give you a notice beforehand...but still, I have many questions for you!" He added, then slowly turned to face Beerus's direction. Before he left, a tiny and soft voice echoed through his ears and made him halt.

"Goodbye..." she softly replied, feeling her cheeks turn an even darker shade of red. He heard her as clear as day and her voice sounded so sweet, that it even made him flush. It made him smile and close his eyes, giggling and fly onward. In midst of his flight, he teleported and was now out of sight. She peeked over her luggage with soft pink painting her cheeks. I did it... I...said it... I...actually didn't stutter this time! she cheered in her head with a cute giggle escaping her muffled lips. Her only visible, big, blue eye could be seen over her cases.

She flew up, soon leaving the planet's orbit. Seeing the cat coming into view, she paused and noticed he was staring right at her. He smiled her way, then turned his attention back to the new guy. They chatted but she couldn't hear them until... That new guy was about to fall from the planet's gravity if it wasn't for Beerus catching him. As he and his teacher gradually hovered down with the guy in tow, the said cat gestured for Akasma to follow. He didn't even look her way and knew who he was referring to.

She gulped, then proceeded down with them. Hovering just above the land now, he let the guy go and everyone called out to him; they called him Goku. Her gazed viewed the scene, knowing everyone's attention was on Goku and not on her. She didn't feel nervous, since no eyes were on her. Everyone sounded worried for the man as they rushed to his aid and some crouched to his level. While they all chatted amongst themselves, Akasma took a step back as quietly as possible. Please don't see me, please don't see me! She mentally pleaded, hoping that her light footwork wouldn't be noticed.

She turned and silently dashed away from the group until she heard a blast echo. She turned around, only to find out that the cat had shot off a piece of the planet. She shut her eyes and giggled cutely, from overhearing Whis, saying... "Well, look at that Lord Beerus, you destroyed earth like you said you would...just not very much of it.~" Her innocent muffled laughter caught the cat's and the six-footer's ears, even though they didn't glance over at her.

"Yes, it's really a shame, isn't it? I must have used up all my strength in the fight.~ I guess I'll just have to come by another time and finish destroying the rest," Beerus stated in amusement while turning away from the group...facing Akasma. He had his slits pinned on her, smirking, and clamped his palms on his hips. That antic of his caused the said woman to shield herself behind her two cases, blushing madly from her phobia.

"Thanks, Lord Beerus," Goku thanked the cat while remaining on the ground. Beerus turned to face him and made a hmph sound, soon pacing towards the said guy with his arms behind his back.

They all had a short conversation and soon the tall six-footer and the cat stepped away a bit. Whis summoned his staff and was about to use his transportation ability until Beerus said something. "Hold on a minute, Whis," The said tall man looked down and blinked in confusion, giving him a questioning stare.

"What is it, Lord Beerus?" Questioned Whis, then took notice of whom the cat was looking at. He smiled at Akasma after seeing who it was, as well yearned for a reply from his student. His pupil paced towards the Aeronan, having her walk backward and emit uneasy sounds from her muffled mouth.

"It's alright, I won't hurt you," He mentioned with a grin then vanished, reappearing beside her and faced the opposite direction she faced. She jumped and turned to him, stepping backward again, and not once had she lowered those cases she used as shields... He did the same thing, disappeared, and reappeared beside her. Those two kept that up for about a good minute, she didn't like how he kept popping up right beside her. Everyone laughed at her flustered state, thinking of how cute the whole scene was. She acted like a shy little girl, who was being forced on stage to act her part. Finally, Beerus had enough with her endless backing away tactic, so he wrapped his tail around her waist and glared at her.

"Lord Beerus, why not try letting her get used to your presence first? I did that and she managed to talk to me after I waited a bit," Dr. Briefs suggested with a raise of his finger. The said cat looked over his shoulder with an evident frown, then nodded. Thus he stood there, waiting for her to loosen up.

She could hear her own heart beating heavily, while her hands shook on the case's handles. She kept them up close to her face with her only big blue iris that was visible, peeking over her knuckles. Stay calm...stay calm, please stay calm! Pleadingly speaking in her mind, soon she felt her heart slow down and her nervousness dying a bit. One thing that the cat finally noticed, was that she was panting from the pressure of her phobia. After her heavy breathing eased, she shut her eyes and hesitantly lowered her cases. Looking over shyly, she peered at Beerus and managed to hold her stare for a whole minute.

"Now then....have you calmed down at least a little?" The cat asked, having her avert her eyes to her feet and nod shakily. "Good, so tell me; how were you able to electrocute me earlier?" He smirked while keeping his arms behind his back.

Silence issued throughout the air and everyone else seemed curious too. They all gazed upon the Aeronan, who was still rather skittish from the unwanted attention. "I-I a-am...an... A-Aero-n-nan..." She answered and was about to carry on until Whis voiced his thoughts.

"Akasma, why not close your eyes and answer us? It will be a lot easier for you if you cannot see others watching you," He suggested with a gentle smile, he too watched her nervous self. She nodded shakily once more, then shut her eyes. He was right, she felt a lot more calmer now since she couldn't see anyone and that made her smile sweetly, with a flush on her cheeks.

"We... A-Aeronans...have the power... To use all four elements...within our ki; though, we can only...m-master two of t-them... Water, fire, e-earth, a-air...a-and the s-sub elements... L-lightning, Ice and L-Lava..." She explained and hadn't even opened her eyes to view everyone. Piccolo had a faint flush on his cheeks at hearing her quiet and soft voice, while Beerus too, looked flushed but didn't move from his spot. Bulma was the only one that was used to her voice but this was a first for her at hearing Akasma more clearly.

"Oh, I see now.~ So what would you say, would be your most powerful element right now? Also- I noticed how fast you were when you flew with your ki wings, and might I say...it was like watching a shooting star!~" Whis chirped and shut eyes at the memory of when she dispersed her illuminating white wings then took off. She blushed heavily at the compliment and lowered her head, keeping her eyes as tightly shut as possible with a failed attempt to hide.

"Electricity... L-Lightning, in other...words," She answered softly, making Whis hum in thought and smile right after. "I-I like the name...for our...wings... Ki wings...it has... A-A nice...ring to it," She stuttered, refusing to open her eyes.

"Well, that is their original name after all.~" He commented with a content grin on his features. "Also, can you tell me who taught you the Whistling Wind technique?" With that question, she shot her marbles open and her blue pupils shrunk. She was shocked to know that someone outside of her race, knew about that.

H-How did he know...about that skill?! she yelled out in her head from disbelief, questioning his knowledge. She slowly rose her head with her mouth slightly agape and irises much wider. "How did you..." she trailed off, having that shock override her phobia.

"My apologies, Akasma!~ I did mention, however, that I did not get the chance to really learn about your kind. I watched a few of your people train out at the queen's palace there. Overhearing their conversations helped a bit with understanding them. I learned about their race's name, their language, some foods and...oh- I also learned about how they can naturally form ki wings! They come in all sorts of colors! It is quite fascinating to see!~ So many flying colors in your world, I have yet to even visit the oceanic cities!~" He mused with a hand to his cheek and closed his eyes. Akasma just stood there in awe, questioning how much he really knew about her people.

"Hey...Akasma?" Bulma chimed in, having a worried face about her and taking a step forward. Gaining her attention, she was wanting to ask a question that lingered in her mind for a while now. "Why do you need a chemical scientist? My dad told me what kind of doctor you were looking for, but why?" She asked, watching the Aeronan's pupil return to normal then shut her eyes, looked away, and grasped tighter onto her handles.

"If you tell me, we may be able to help you. My dad said he didn't know anyone that was a chemical scientist but that won't stop me from looking for one," Bulma stated with a thumb pointing to herself and growing a strict look to her.

Akasma gulped, all eyes on her now. A stray tear rolled down her cheeks as she lowered her head to hide her features. Her shoulders shook, trying so hard not to cry in front of them. Her action only made the blue-haired woman grow more concerned and gaze at her. Suddenly, Goku walked up to her with silent feet, then placed a hand on top of her head. "Here, let me read your thoughts. It'd probably be easier for you to-" she brushed his hand off before he got to finish, surprising the man.

"I-I- need one...b-because... There is an incurable...genetic disease... I-It eats away at the b-brain...though doesn't... affect one's thinking...p-process... A-As time goes on...it w-will...eventually...k-kill...me. M-My grandmother had it...and now....i-it got...passed down...to me," She took a long pause, inhaled a deep breath, and slowly let it out. Once she calmed down a bit more, she continued where she left off. "My parents told me...that mine seems to progress faster than hers... I...don't want to die... I have been...in search for a cure, for...five years... G-Going from one planet...t-to the next... Not one...person...c-could find...the cure," she replied with her eyes closed. Though when more tears streamed down her eyes, she couldn't hold it in anymore... Five years... For FIVE years, she has been searching...and not one person could cure it.

Everyone looked at her with pained expressions, watching her drop her belongings and fall to her knees. She began to cry, harder this time, and lowered her head more to hide her teary face. Her back was slumped over with her shoulders still wavering from her emotional agony. "I told my parents...t-that I would return, once I found the cure! I miss them so much! But if I die, then I will pain them even more! I'm too young to die... I don't want to leave my family behind... I don't want to just sit here and let it kill me... I don't want to... I don't want to... I DON'T WANT TO DI-" Before she could finish, she felt herself getting dizzy and her vision began to blur. "S-Shimi...hotanda..." She said in a daze, before passing out and falling sideways onto the hard ground in slow motion. Once she made contact with the surface the scene's motion went back to normal. Everyone gawked at the unconscious woman, who laid motionlessly on the ground with tears staining her face.

"So...that's probably why she passed out before, huh...?" Gohan asked while keeping his mournful eyes glued to Akasma's frame.

"Yeah...most likely," Piccolo answered with his arms folded and his eyes focused on the passed-out woman.

"Come on, let's go back to my place. She can rest there for a while, for as long as she needs," Bulma stated and shut her eyes, feeling rather sympathetic for the poor girl.

"Hey, Lord Beerus?" Goku asked, gaining his attention without fail and noticing that his tail was off her waist; the cat turned to him and rose a brow.

"Yes?" Beerus questioned, then lowered his slits to view the unconscious woman by his feet. "Would it be alright, if you or Whis helped us look for a scientist? I'm sure Bulma will start searching too after everyone's settled down... It must be scary for someone like her to know that she's going to die," He stated with a serious expression on his face and watched the cat narrow his eyes.

Beerus contemplated on Goku's words and kept his slits on her form. "Fine...but I'll only do it since she still has to answer some of our questions... Whis, let's go," He ordered and had the six-footer nod in response.

With a simple tap on the ground with his staff, they took off into Whis's warp speed and vanished within seconds. Everyone looked back down at the Aeronan, who lied motionlessly on the surface. Piccolo walked over to her, leaned down, and picked her up. Carrying her bridal style, he noticed that the group held a questionable stare. "C'mon...let's get her inside," he demanded, still having his stern features evident.
