Kaioshin and the Earthers followed the two warriors far enough that they would not notice them. After witnessing what had happened to poor Videl and Gohan, the god made certain to chance them subjected to a similar manhandling.

Once arriving near their destination, the men hid among the cliffs, high above the valley, where Supopobichi and Yamu landed. One member of the group, a Saiyajin named Son Goku, scuttled closer to the lavender-skinned deity Higashi no Kaioshin. "What are we waiting for?" he asked.

"For Madoshi Babidi to reveal himself," Kaioshin replied. Then his eyes fixed on a white pod sticking out of the ground. "Could it be? His ship might be underground? That might explain why Kibito and I were unable to find it."

"That could be, Master," Kaioshin's bodyguard, Kibito, replied.

A moment of eerie silence settled. The wind chilled blew and minded nobody's business but its own. Suddenly the door of the pod began lifting. Out stepped a tall man with pale red skin, a widow's peak as black as night and a beard, which snaked from it. He seemed quite frightening - being that he looked like the Devil himself - and his appearance served only to further unnerve Kaioshin.

"No!" he gasped. "That can't be him. That just can't be him!"

"I'm afraid it is, Master Kaioshin," Kibito growled gravely.

"Dabura . . ." The name tasted bitter on Kaioshin's tongue.

"Da- what?" Goku said. "Who's that?"

Kaioshin merely shook his head in despair. Soon another person entered the scene, from behind the devil man. Very short, sickly yellow, utterly homely male - or whatever it was. He lacked the 'M' present on the foreheads of the other men, meaning this had to be Babidi.

"There he is!" Kaioshin gasped. "That's him, the one called Babidi. Why would Dabura . . . but no. He has an 'M' on his forehead. That means Babidi has control of him! Oh, this is grave, so grave!"

"Is it that bad?" Son Goku's son, Gohan, asked.

"Worse," Kaioshin replied. "Dabura happens to be King of the Demon Realm, a dark Universe far different from this one. There, he is the most powerful of creatures, and if Babidi was able to take control of him . . . I believe we're out of Fate's favour."

Another Saiyajin by the name of Vegeta snorted at the god. "That cricket I could smash right under my foot, but indeed, that so-called king might be a problem. Are you sure that short fellow is ' the most threatening,' little god?"

Kaioshin could not believe the audacity of him. Had Vegeta been so serious with that? Did the Saiyajin Prince have a death wish? The man was foolish to underestimate the Madoshi like that.

Back in the valley, a conversation had begun among the Majin fighters and their master.

"Master Babidi," Yamu said stepping forward, "we've gathered all the energy we could to revive Majin Buu."

"Ah, yes, well done." Babidi took the oval-shaped object from the tall Supopobichi. "Hn, not very much but helpful nevertheless."

Supopobichi turned and grinned stupidly at Yamu. Then he turned to the wizard and said, "Uh, Master Babidi about our reward . . ."

"Hmm? Oh, yes, your rewards." Babidi turned and looked at the giant warrior. An evil smirk appeared on his wrinkly face, and the evil magician began reciting a dark spell. Without warning, Supopobichi began expanding grotesquely and after a few gruesome seconds finally exploded. Yamu trembled in horror at his partner's bloodied fate.

"Now for you," hissed Babidi.

Yamu screamed. He summoned his energy and began flying as quickly as possible.

A new warrior seemed to appear out of nowhere. Puipui was given the command to execute the escapee. He raised an arm high, summoned his energy, and released a powerful blast that disintegrated Yamu into ashes. His death and Supopobichi's left the group of seven at the cliffs utterly horrified.

"They - they killed them . . . as if they meant nothing," Gohan stuttered.

"I really wish I hadn't seen that!" Krillin groaned.

Dabura's head turned slightly to the cliffs. His bass voice rumbled, "Master Babidi."

The magician glanced up at his tall servant. "What is it, Dabura?"

"It looks as though we have some uninvited company," he replied.

Their eyes wandered and fixed at the cliffs. Babidi sighed. "Looks to me that Supopobichi and Yamu weren't careful enough coming back," he said, but then he grinned. "Fine, you may do as you please, Dabura. Puipui, we go back in the ship."

"Thank you, Master Babidi." Dabura bowed as Babidi and Puipui entered the ship. He readied himself for the fatal onslaught he would bring in the coming seconds.

"Why is he still outside?" Kaioshin said. "It doesn't make any sense."

"Well, I really don't wanna stay to find out," Krillin said. "I'm heading back home, just in case things become worse than they are. I do have a family to take care of, you know."

Goku smiled down at his childhood friend. His smile quickly faded when Kaioshin shouted, "Look out!"

Dabura caught everyone by deadly surprise. He shot closely to the cliffs, up to the men and directly to greet Kibito with his palm in front of his face. With an evil grin on his face, the demon blasted the bodyguard into ashes and dust.

"Kibito!" Kaioshin screamed.

This cry proved unwise: catching the attention of the Demon King. Without warning he was greeted by Dabura's devilish smile, which caused him to tremble fearfully.

Dabura extended a hand and gently touched the deity's face. The god was quite old, yet he looked so young and almost childlike: very beautiful. The demon became distracted when Piccolo charged at him and Krillin tried to flee. Dabura turned and spit on the two.

"Oh no!" Kaioshin cried.

Before Piccolo or Krillin uttered a word, they began turning into stone. Soon they stood as mere stone statues of their former selves.

"Don't touch either or they'll break!" Kaioshin cried to the last three left.

Dabura laughed in his throat. "You're coming with me, Kaioshin," he growled.

Kaioshin tried to escape but found it futile. The next moment, his whole world flashed hot white and faded into darkness. Dabura had taken a hand and chopped him right on the vein of his delicate neck. The demon tossed his limp body over his shoulder and began flying away.

"You just wait here!" he cried to the three Saiyajin. "I'll return him once I'm through with him!"

With that Dabura flew down and into the ship.

******

Wha . . . Where am I? Kaioshin slowly regained consciousness, which he soon regretted. His head pounded and throbbed madly. His body cried agonisingly as he realised that he had been beaten and bruised severly. He even felt the warm dripping of his blood, fresh from open wounds.

Kaioshin struggled to stand, but his legs screamed and beseeched him to cease. Then he tried to pull himself from the chains that bound his hands above his head. He slightly shed tears and groaned, feeling his fragile wrists cut by the tiny little razors lining his shackles.

Who? Who could have done this to me? Kaioshin thought.

"Good to see you're awake, Higashi no Kaioshin," came a deep, evil voice from the shadows. "I thought you would be sleeping for the rest of eternity."

The convulsions returned as two hungry, golden cat eyes suddenly appeared. Kaioshin stuttered, "Da . . . Dabura . . ."

The despicable beast showed his face, his trademark smile set upon it. He slowly stepped barefoot from the shadows, dressed in only a black robe, stitched with thread the deepest crimon hue.

Dabura halted before Kaioshin and kneeled so that they were face-to-face. When he reached for touch that pretty his face, the god flinched and pulled away from his, his eyes shut tightly in fear.

"No, no, don't worry," Dabura soothed. "I'm not going to hurt you like I did while you were unconscious."

He really expects me to believe him? Kaioshin thought worriedly. It is strange, though - his tone of voice. He seems calm enough, somewhat gentle - no! I mustn't let him fool me!

"Now, now. Whatever goes on in here, Babidi will not see by my request," Dabura said assuringly. "He'll see nothing that occurs here, which I will add, he doesn't even know I . . . smuggled you aboard this ship."

Kaioshin turned his head and cautiouly opened his eyes.

That damned smile.

That damned smile just had to be on his face, flawless teeth and all.

"You . . . ugly, impious bastard." Pure hatred dripped from that fearless sentence. The Demon King growled and swiped a clawed hand across his face. It stinged so badly! Kaioshin moaned and lowered his head. Dabura placed a finger under the god's chin and lifted his face.

"My, you are full of spirit!" Dabura hissed amorously. "So fragile, yet with an adamantine soul. I will enjoy you." Then the devil leaned closer to Kaioshin's ear and whispered softly, "Pleasure - you say you're a god, yet you have never experienced it, have you? No. Such a structured being who could covort and make love to any attractive woman or . . . any attractive male. No. No such thing is for you - is supposed to be let to you - but I will change that. I will show you pleasure. I will drive you to intimate regions from which no return exists."

The devil's lips brushed up against Kaioshin's delicate ear. Shivers ran up and down his spine.

"So will you let me?" Dabura asked. He began nibbling playfully on Kaioshin's ear, making the god more nervous. His hands slid down his collar bone, and he began laying sweet kisses on his neck. He sucked on his neck tenderly as if drinking his blood from every pore. Kaioshin gasped and brushed his body closely to Dabura.

Dabura's moist tongue slithered from between his lips and traced its way up to Kaioshin's chin. Kaioshin began to panic, knowing what Dabura's saliva could do.

"You needn't worry," Dabura cooed. "My saliva is deadly only if I actually spit it - believe it or not. So you haven't a thing to worry about . . . much."

" . . . Let me go, " Kaioshin moaned.

"Oh, come now. I have yet to drive you mad with lust." Groping fingers sought their way to Kaioshin's throbbing length. They gently wrapped around it and began rubbing it ever so slowly, making it grow thicker and longer.

Kaioshin was taken by the utmost surprise. Dabura's new behaviour horrified him. He was delivering him to insanity. He wished he was more able, but he could do little to prevent Dabura from tainting him.

"Oohhh . . . Da-abura-a-a . . ." Kaioshin feared falling into Dabura's evil trap. He feared climaxing for the demon, despite the mental effort to resist. And as Dabura's hand moved faster, he quickly began losing the last of his restraints.

Dabura grinned evilly at his flushed god and decided to drive his little treat off the edge. He saw that glorious erection, glistening with the essence of the god. The Demon King had to taste him. He had to make him come.

With his tongue soaking wet, Dabura let it slither from his mouth and lap the sweet juices. He wrapped his mouth around the tip and scraped it carefully with his teeth, soon taking the entire organ into his mouth and sucking it madly.

Kaioshin shrieked. His body slumped, and he began rhythmically bucking his hips. Oh, such pleasure his organ received! It blazed throughout his tiny body like no other sensation the Universe had given him. Then Kaioshin remembered: this was not right. Dabura had no authority to do this to him. He was defiling Higashi no Kaioshin: ravishing the poor god.

"No! Stop!" Kaioshin cried and sobbed, but Dabura refused to heed his pleas. He desired for Kaioshin to lose control of his body and come for him.

He received his wish.

Kaioshin reared back his head and released a loud, orgasmic cry, his seed spilling into the hungry, yearnful mouth.

"You can't even imagine how sweet you taste," Dabura panted. "I've taken many a young, innocent male virgin like you, but never has one tasted so delicious."

A blue tongue hungrily licked two pale crimson lips. "Oh, I have to ravish you." Then their lips met passionately. Dabura slipped his tongue in Kaioshin's tiny mouth and left no iota untouched. His free hand opened the hem of his robe to reveal his own arousal, standing in throbbing hubris - ready to invade the god's body.

"Hold still, my precious," Dabura said. "This shouldn't hurt too much." He grunted as he filled the tight virgin body with his throbbing engine. He thrust himself deeper and deeper inside, driving Kaioshin to another climax.

Why did this have to happen to him? Why did Dabura want to taint him like this? Kaioshin had no understanding. Dabura should have the order to kill him once he got close enough. And though it meant the end of all creation, Kaioshin preferred dyinge than experiencing this degredation. He could stand it no longer.

Kaioshin lifted his head and came for Dabura again. The tightening muscles around his organ drove the demon to his own climax. He grit his teeth and bellowed loudly and longly until his climax passed, the last of his juices having spilt in Kaioshin's body.

"So damn tight," Dabura moaned, "but I enjoyed you."

He placed a hand on the god's moist face. The lovely creature was very flushed and panting heavily. The devil smiled. "I'm letting you go now." He slipped out of Kaioshin carefully, stood, and closed the hem of his robe. "I had my fun with you, so you may leave."

The chains holding Kaioshin shattered and let the god free. His legs quivered as he stood slowly. He found his clothes not too far and donned them swiftly.

"Why?" he asked. "Why do this to me, then let me go alive?"

Dabura looked at his face. "I'm not answering that question, at least not now," was his response as he turned his back on him again. "Forget it. What's been done is done, and I'll not put you through it again. At least, if Majin Buu is revived."

Then the demon waved a dismissive hand, and Kaioshin found himself at the entrance of the ship. In front of him stood Son Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta. Goku stepped up to him. "What happened?"

Kaioshin stepped backwards and glanced at the ground, blushing slightly. He turned his eyes and looked at the entrance to the ship. He sighed.

"Nothing to concern yourselves. Just follow me. We're going inside and preventing Majin Buu's resurrection."

Inside the ship, in a corner of the room where Majin Buu's sphere laid, a fully-dressed Dabura watched Babidi's crystal ball, which showed the four men entering.

I'll be waiting for you, Kaioshin, he thought lustfully. Just you be patient. I don't expect to keep the promise I made to you.

He laughed diabolically in his throat.
