A/N: ( ･_･)♡

...

Keiko and Shin listened in stunned silence as Kibitio rushed to fill them in, explaining everything that was currently happening on the planet below. It wasn't long before the three of them were headed to Earth themselves while hoping they weren't too late...

"This way!" Shin shouted over the roar of the wind around them as Keiko and Kibito looked his way. "I can sense Gohan's energy... But it's faint! We have to hurry!"

The three fighters blasted towards the battlefield, touching down on the broken ground below as they looked around for any sign of the Saiyan. 

"Gohan!" Shin said worriedly, spotting the man lying on the ground not too far away.

Keiko frowned as her eyes locked onto something large and pink standing there as well, the sinister energy surrounding the mysterious blob making her tense as she drew her weapon. 

In the next instant, an arrow was soaring towards her target, striking the ground in front of the monster as it jumped back just in time.

This must be Majin Buu... Keiko realized, her eyes never leaving the unusual looking thing as she watched him cartwheel back over to his master comically. How strange...

"What this?" Buu asked curiously, bending down to pick up the arrow before poking the tip with his soft hand. "Ow! It hurt!" The child-like monster exclaimed before crushing the object in his fist. "Buu no like!"

"Hmm... That was very rude..." Babidi agreed, chuckling while glancing towards the new fighters that had arrived. "You should teach them a lesson! Ha ha!"

The green wizard began to rise, floating into the air above the battlefield as Buu followed his lead.

"You're all about to become treats for Majin Buu!" Babidi laughed, flipping everyone the bird as Keiko growled. "No one can match his strength! Ha ha HA HA!"

"He's insane if he thinks Buu will remain loyal to him forever..." Kibito grumbled, looking towards Gohan's unconscious form as the other guard knew what had to be done.

"Go get him." She spoke up, knocking another arrow onto her bow while glaring directly at Buu. "I'll keep him distracted."

Shin nodded, not liking the idea much, but it was a rather good plan. And they needed to get Gohan out of here safely...

"Don't do anything reckless..." He added, making his body guard smirk before she heard the two men retreating.

"Me? Never..." Keiko envisioned, actually letting her mental walls down for a moment so Shin could hear her thoughts. "Just tell Kibito to get him out of here, then we can-"

The archer didn't get to finish her sentence as she flinched, suddenly staring up into a bright pink face. He... He's fast! 

"You a pest! YOU LEAVE NOW!" Buu shouted, glaring down at the woman angrily before swinging a massive punch her way.

Keiko reacted just in time, simultaneously throwing her bow in front of herself while sending a good amount of ki to re-enforce it. The hit was so strong it still knocked her back, sending her flying across the battlefield before her body crashed into a large rock.

"Keiko!" Shin shouted, watching in horror from the sidelines as she jumped up, brushing a few small pebbles off her shoulder before looking more determined than ever.

"Buu number one! Buu number on... Oooh~!" Buu said excitedly, ceasing his victorious cheering once he noticed the woman walking his way. "You still want fight Buu?!"

"Yes." Keiko said simply, her tone as deadly as her stare as she pulled an arrow from behind her. This time you won't sneak up on me...

The two fighters stared each other down as everyone watched in anticipation, wondering how the battle would end...

Buu was the first to make a move as he blasted forward, holding both fists in front of himself while preparing an all out attack. He was only an inch or two away from impact with the other fighter when suddenly, the woman disappeared, dropping to the ground just in time to see the blob sailing over her. 

Before Majin Buu knew what was happening, Keiko was on her feet again, turning to face him with an arrow at the ready as she charged up her attack.

"Try to dodge this." She stated lowly, letting go of her bowstring as Majin Buu looked back in shock.

The monster's eyes went wide as he watched the enchanted arrow soaring towards him, picking up speed and power along the way as the giant blast of light consumed the area. 

"Aaaah!"

"Nooo! Majin Buu!" Babidi shouted desperately, scanning the clouds of smoke below for any sign of his creation.

"I-Incredible..." Shin mumbled, not truly seeing the extent of Keiko's power until now it seemed. The Kai knew she was skilled, clearly chosen for her current job based off that fact alone. But seeing her use her powers in a real battle was something entirely different...

He watched her hair fall around her wildly as the dust finally began to settle, too caught up in her beauty to notice the Majin's reaction to her attack.

"N-No way!" Kibito uttered, snapping Shin out of his trance as his eyes widened as well. "How can this be?!"

Keiko stood there completely astonished, not truly believing what she was seeing as the Majin stared back at her, unfazed by the gaping hole in his chest. 

I... I hit him dead on... How was that not enough?! She thought, her grip on her bow tightening as a chill ran down her spine. Not good...

"You hurt Buu..." The Majin said somewhat sadly, looking down at his injury before narrowing his eyes at the woman across from him. "BUU MAKE YOU PAY!" 

Keiko stared up in disbelief as Buu dashed towards her, hole and all, acting like nothing had happened as the wound started to close itself up. He grinned evilly before bringing his massive hands together in one swift motion, squishing the woman in his grip before letting her drop.

The archer hissed in pain as she tried to move, knowing that she at least had a few broken ribs. 

"Ah!" Keiko cried, feeling herself being picked up roughly by the front of her shirt and held in the air like a rag doll.

"Turn her into a cookie Majin Buu!" Babidi ordered, growing tired of all this nonsense. "We've got other work to do!"

"Kibito, get Gohan out of here!" Shin ordered, looking at his attendant seriously before glancing back to the battlefield. "I've got to help Keiko!"

"Master!" Kibito tried, but it was too late... He was already watching the other Kai dash towards the pink monster.

Majin Buu grinned, thinking about what a nice snack the woman would make as he licked his lips. "Yaayy! Cookie!" He cheered, holding her up a bit higher before preparing his candy beam.

A swift chop to his doughy arm knocked Keiko free suddenly as she dropped to the ground, her hands going instantly to her side as she held the sore area. Her golden eyes looked up to see Shin standing in front of her, charging up a powerful blast between his hands while shouting.

Keiko had to shield her eyes as he fired the attack, knocking Majin Buu back a good distance while bathing the battlefield in a pink glow.

"Keiko! Come on, we've got to- Ah!"

Majin Buu was back already and uncharacteristically mad it seemed as he kicked the Supreme Kai to the side harshly, sending the poor man tumbling across the ground.

"NO ONE TAKES BUU'S COOKIE!"

"S-Shin! Rrgh..." Keiko growled, knowing she was failing the Kai as she pushed herself to stand. If I can't protect him... Then what good am I? She thought desperately, ignoring the pain in her ribs as she watched the Majin stalking the other man.

Buu grinned, powering up an attack that looked eerily similar to the one Shin had just used as he held the massive ball of energy in front of himself, preparing to launch it as Keiko gasped.

Shin watched the attack sailing towards him as he tried to find the strength to stand, but couldn't. His only option now it seemed was being obliterated by his own technique as he closed his eyes, waiting for the impact that never came.

Keiko had launched herself in front of the Kai just in time, taking the full force of the blast as she tried to use the last of her ki to shield them both. The attack was just too much however, knocking the tiny woman back as her precious bow shattered in the process. 

Shin looked up just in time to see his body guard fall, her broken weapon scattered across the ground around them as he threw himself on top of her. "Kai Kai!" He shouted, hugging her small body tightly as he felt them both reappear on their planet. 

Shin pulled back, shaking Keiko gently as he tried to wake her. He noticed she was still breathing thankfully, but other than that, he had no idea how bad her injuries really were...

"Keiko... Why... Why did you do that?" The Kai mumbled to himself, already knowing the answer but hating it. Why did he have to be so weak? Why couldn't he be the one to protect her? He thought, wishing things could be different as he felt his eyes began to sting.

"Master Shin!" Kibito shouted, noticing both fighters instantly as he raced their way with Gohan and the elder Kai in tow.

"Just hang on Keiko..." Shin said reassuringly, grabbing her hand in his own while making a silent promise.

Next time I'll be the one to protect you...
