Chapter two
You weren't being thought of
(Kiyomi's p.o.v)
He was back. He was actually back. Why couldn't he just leave me alone! Why does he have to see me in pain! No. He won't. I'm going to be strong. Not just to prove that I hate him but for my family as well. I felt Suki's ki become elevated and I instantly was at my door. "Wait Kiyomi!" Rochelle called. "No! I have to go save my daughter." "I have a plan. Just trust me." I took a deep breath. "Fine." "Get dress. Something you'd workout in. Seru go play in your room." "But the Celery man-" "The Celery man won't hurt you. I promise." "Ok..." He said uneasy. Seru was highly smart and could sense danger. Whatever happened out there scared him. I hurried and threw a grey sports bra on, black shorts, black fingerless gloves, and a pair of running shoes. I instant transmissioned to Rochelle who was peeking out the window downstairs. "Alright what's the plan?" I asked. "When Suki gets close I'll grab her and run into the house. Then when Cell is near the house, he'll obviously know that we're in here and he'll wait." "Ok and where do I come in?" "When it's dark out, you'll run and lead him away from the cabin. With your speed, you'll lose him and hopefully he won't come back." "That. Is. Terrible." "How is it terrible?!" She questioned feeling offended. "Because. What if he catches you before you make it inside? What if he forces his way in after getting impatient? This plan wasn't thought through Rochelle!"
I wasn't pissed at her idea. I was pissed that Cell was here to make a lot of flaws in the idea. He was angered easily. He was impatient. He was intelligent. He was Cell. Someone who wasn't easily deceived. "New plan. I'll run out there to get Suki and bring her back into the house. Then I'll fight Cell-" "You'll what?!" She interrupted me. "I'll just distract him. Hopefully I can get him to just leave.." I mumbled the last part mainly to myself. Memories of Cell's expression after he punched me played in my mind. He felt bad that he hurt me. He shouldn't have felt bad. Because deep down he'll just keep doing it over and over again. But, I can use it as a weakness...
(Third person p.o.v)
Kiyomi peeked out the window with Rochelle. Seeing movement in some brush, Suki came running out giggling with joy. "Yay! I win Cell." "Plan is moving into action." Kiyomi whispered. "Suki!" She yelled when she opened the door. "It's time to come back in." "But-" "No buts. The sky is pink and you have to eat dinner. Go wash up for me." Kiyomi put her hand on Suki's head and smiled lovingly. "Ok... Bye Cell!" Suki pouted for a second but the very mention of her new friend made her smile. Feeling eyes on her, Kiyomi looked into the trees but didn't see anything. Cell stood from afar. She was really there. If only he could just hold her in his arms... Her voice was still angelic yet stern. Her body more built in muscle mass. And her hair. Different but still looked soft like a cloud. "Mom's going for a run." Kiyomi kissed Suki's forehead and sent her inside. She closed her eyes and felt for Cell's ki. He was close enough to see her but far so that she couldn't see him. Kiyomi smirked. "I know your there. You unbelievable jackass." She opened her eyes to see Cell's chest. Way too close. Don't show any emotion Kiyomi... These thoughts kept repeating over and over again inside her mind. Crossing her arms, she looked up to see an expressionless Cell staring back at her. "I see you have someone new in your life to give you offspring." Kiyomi's eyebrow twitched. He comes back after nearly four years and THAT'S the first thing he says to me?! But what do you except... She thought bitterly. Kiyomi smirked again confusing Cell. He expected her to say something about her relationship with whom ever but her next words shocked him. "How dare you. Nearly four years, and you still act high and mighty. The only new people in my life would be my co-workers, my friends, and my family. But of course you come here to try to insult me. To try to make me feel as if I should be guilty that I moved on. Yeah, you weren't being thought of Cell! Not even once..."
Kiyomi couldn't take being near him anymore so she ran off into the forest for her evening jog. Cell felt bad. He didn't mean to ask the question the way he did but good god it made him angry that she didn't think about him as much as he thought about her. It wasn't fair. So he got angry. Kiyomi felt his ki get elevated with anger and immediately knew what that meant. The chase is on.. Using more speed but not too much ki she ran faster putting distance between them. Kiyomi knew that if she used too much ki he would get interested and want a fight. And a fight meant death. Maybe I didn't think this plan through! Kiyomi didn't see the lifted branch on the ground so it surprised her when she tripped and fell on her face. She wiped her nose and saw blood. "Dammit!" She swore. Feeling Cell get closer to her position, she climbed a tree and hid her ki. Cell stopped near the tree. "Where are you Kiyomi.." He muttered. Maybe she was scared. Or maybe she was playing him. "I'm not going to hurt you my dear. I just want to have a talk." Kiyomi jumped down and snapped a twig. For fucks sake! Cell turned his head and they briefly made eye contact before she ran off again. He didn't follow her for a while pondering on how he would talk to her.
She ran and ran and ran until there was a clearing with a beautiful pond in the middle. It was around nine so the stars were out shiny on Kiyomi's sweaty glistening skin. She bent down and got a drink from the pond. She rolled her neck satisfied with the pop it made. "I'm getting too old for this.." She mumbled. "Twenty-six isn't an old age." Kiyomi whirled around and nearly punched Cell in the face if he hadn't caught her fist. "Such strength. You would make a great fighter if you used your skills right." Kiyomi tried to pull her fist out his hand but he only tighten his grip. "Too bad fighting isn't my thing. Mind letting go?" She asked with sarcasm. Cell let her fist go but quickly grabbed Kiyomi's wrist and pulled her into a hug, catching her off guard. She didn't hug back. Just stood there. Cell put his nose in the crook of her neck and smelled her sweet piña coloda scent. Feeling uncomfortable, Kiyomi squirmed and made him let go. Although she missed his touch, his scent, and his accented voice, she knew she would get hurt again. "No." "Why?" Cell lifted his hand to touch Kiyomi, but she smacked it saying no again. Cell decided to try and get her to warm up to him. Maybe if he asked questions, made her laugh she'd get comfortable and happy around him. He looked at her bandaged arm and asked what happened. "None of your business." Kiyomi didn't want anything to do with Cell and it made her angry that he kept speaking to her as if nothing happened between them. "You weren't one for keeping secrets Kiyomi." "I'm also not one for those who piss me off. Yet here I am." Cell chuckled. "Your sarcasm humors me." "But I'd still like to know about it." "Why so you can ridicule me?! Tell me how much of a bad mother I am! You wanna see my arm fine!" She aggressively tore off the bandages to reveal her tattoo. "It's... beautiful. Yet different." Kiyomi laughed humorlessly.
"Oh shut up Cell. You came here to try to make my life hell again. To play mind games. Making me think your not the same years ago. Well guess what? It's all shit and I know it." She began to walk away when Cell grabbed her arm. Kiyomi glared at him while he tried to keep a soft face. "Are you at least going to listen to what I am going to say?" Cell asked. "I'm not gonna sit here and listen to lies all night Cell. My two children need me and that's where I'm heading." Cell gripped Kiyomi's arm harder. She flinched and glared, snatching her arm out of his grasp. "Oh are you angry?" She asked with sarcasm. "Yes. You dare tell me lies?!" Cell said raising his voice. "Lies? I have nothing to hide so how dare you-" "You have two spawns. I killed one that day and all of sudden you have two?!" Cell yelled cutting Kiyomi off. Boy was that a mistake. "You didn't kill THEM Cell. I had twins you moron! But of course you think so little of me! As if I'm going to spread my legs for any guy I see!" Kiyomi red faced, stormed off into the woods. That asshole! Why can't he just leave me and my family alone! She wasn't paying attention so she didn't notice that Cell was standing in front of her. Bumping into him she fell and picked herself up. "Thanks you bastard." "How are they?" "Who?" "Our offspring. Are they growing up strong? Could they potentially be stronger than I?"
Next thing Cell knew, Kiyomi had slapped him. His head whipped to the right and stayed that way for a moment for he was in shock. He didn't even see her move! Let alone slap him! His glare for Kiyomi turned back to shock because of her eyes. Yes, they were filled with anger and resentment. But they were magenta. Like his own. "Don't you ever mention my children. You have know right to even think of them! Let alone ask questions about their well being. Last I checked, they were bastards and their present was a punch that nearly killed them. What do you care for them anyways huh? Why are you even here?!" Kiyomi asked irritably. Cell came to apologize. She knew that. But he knew she didn't care for his bullshit words! So why was he here? Unless... No. Cell was absolutely not around to try to win Kiyomi back. At least that's what she wanted to believe... "Because I realized that I made a mistake. I care deeply for you Kiyomi and I know that you humans give forgiveness and compassion. I didn't show you any when I ended our relationship but I'm willing to fix everything. Apologize for all my wrongs because I realize that I am in love with you. And I'll do anything for you. Even if it means to.." Cell was going to say beg but his pride forbid him. He'd do anything and everything for her that's for sure. But begging was for the weak. Kiyomi wanted to laugh. Cell came to torment her. Say words she prayed he'd tell her when they were together and now that he felt guilty for causing her pain and suffering he now wanted to apologize. "Anything for me.." She mumbled aloud. Cell put his hand on her cheek and looked her in the eye.
"Anything my dear." "I want you to leave me and my family alone. I'm done with your 'I'll give you pity' bullshit because I don't need it. If I let you back in my life you'll just hurt me and make me be at my worst again. I have two children who need a mother. Not an emotional wreck who needs to go back to therapy because the love of her life continuously hurts her. They don't deserve that. I don't deserve that. I don't need you in my life Cell. That girl long ago who was begging you to love her again is long gone and has been for three years. But don't think I don't forgive you, because I do. If I didn't forgive you I'd probably be so fucked up in the head... The past can't be changed or forgotten, it can only be accepted. And I accept the fact that you and other people treated me like trash. But you and the others will not come back into my life." They stared at each other for a while. Kiyomi lightly took Cell's hand off her cheek and kissed it. "Goodbye Cell." She whispered and walked back to the cabin. Cell stood there in shock. It hurt. Like a blow to the stomach. Something warm and wet slipped down his cheek. He touched this wetness to realize that it was a tear. Another slipped down his face and Cell for once accepted this weak emotion. Hurt. Is this what she felt when he caused her pain? Did she cry all the time? Did she want to crawl into a hole to stay there for the rest of her life? Cell was sorry but to know that the person you love didn't want to love you anymore hurt like hell. But he accepted it. He made more than one mistake and she still was in love with him. He knew the kiss with Trunks was an accident but that was his only way out the relationship. But he didn't know that it would hurt her so bad when he ended it. Love is a shit emotion.. He thought bitterly. But it's worth it. Cell made some mistakes and now he had to pay the price. By losing the only person he loves.
Rochelle had been pacing for the last few hours. Where was Kiyomi?! We're they still fighting? Was she hurt? Did Cell kill her? Kiyomi opened the door to the cabin and was immediately in a bone crushing hug. "Gracias a todo lo santo! ¿Está bien? ¿Qué ha pasado?" "I'm alright Rochelle." Kiyomi said tiredly. "What happened out there? You look tired.." "He apologized." Rochelle gasped then smiled. "That's great! It means he cares enough to apologize. So are you guys back together...?" She asked unsure. Kiyomi looked at Rochelle as if she had two heads. "Are you kidding me?! No. I told that bastard I want nothing to do with him. I'm not going to have someone who will hurt my family in my life. I forgive him. But he needs to stay away from me." "Kiyomi! That man, or android, gave you his heart. Isn't that something you always wanted?" "He's lying. Can't you see that! He's done this before and I'm not going to let him hurt my children." Rochelle scoffed. "How dare you Kiyomi. Your using them as an excuse! You don't want to be with Cell because you don't want to go through the process of hurt again. And I understand that but don't use your family as an excuse. Besides you forgave him! Isn't that enough. Don't you want his love again? You don't miss that feeling of being held or having romantic yet comfortable silences?" "Don't Rochelle! I already made up my mind. I don't need him or your criticism! I've made it this far in life without him. What am I going to tell the twins? That their dad was a bad guy and now he's good?! What if he hurts them? What if he tries to kill them? Then what am I going to do!" Kiyomi's face was starting to get red and her voice was starting to raise. "That's why you take those risks Kiyomi! Who knows! It may even end well. You didn't even try to give him a chance. I understand that he hurt you. But have forgiveness for him!" "STOP IT ROCHELLE!" Kiyomi shouted. "This conversation is done. I'm tired okay? I just want sleep. Can I get sleep?" She asked.
Rochelle sighed. "Fine. Do what you want." Kiyomi went upstairs and slammed her door. Stripping down from her workout clothes, she got in bed and fell fast to sleep naked. Rochelle started pacing again. Everyone deserves a second chance. In Cell's case, a fourth or fifth. He was trying and Kiyomi was wrong for not even acknowledging it. She was hurt by him and Rochelle was there to pick up the pieces. And now she was gonna be there to put them back together! Rochelle went in her room and grabbed an orange silk robe. Quietly, she went outside and into the woods. "Cell! Cell!" She called. "Cell." Cell heard his name being called and thought it was Kiyomi. He instant transmissioned to Rochelle and made her jump. "buen Dios me asustaron!(Good god you scared me)" Cell frowned. This was not Kiyomi. He didn't have time for dumb humans ready to die by his hands. Although..."What do you want human?" He asked. "She was right. You are good looking.." Rochelle mumbled. Cell's eye twitched and he was about ready to blast her to pieces. Not liking his look, Rochelle immediately began talking. "I'm Rochelle by the way and I heard what happened." "Do continue human.." Cell didn't understand what she was talking about but he wanted to know more. "I'm Kiyomi's sister and she told me about your apology.
Honestly I don't think it's fair." "You don't look like her." "We're best friends but she considers me family." He nodded his head understanding. "Fair you say. I thought you humans don't think life is fair. Besides you don't understand anything so mind your business human." "Ok one. My name isn't human. So don't call me that. Two I understand everything okay. I was there when she told me everything you put her through. I was there when she was so out of her mind she nearly killed her unborn children. I was there when she gave birth. I was there when she got better and noticed that her life was great without you. And I bet you didn't know she cried herself to sleep every night thinking of you. Replaying everything you've ever said. Everything you ever did. Wondering, where she went wrong. And guess what? I was there for that too. I know exactly what happened between you two and I don't think it's right for her to just dismiss your apology and tell your love to shove it. Everyone deserves a second chance. And if someone is willing to apologize and say how much they love another person then yes they deserve another fifth, sixth, twentieth chance. But for Kiyomi actions matter just as much as words. So if you listen I'll help you get the love of your life back. But if you mess up this chance, then there will be nothing I can do for you." Cell thought for a moment. As much as he hated the fact of getting a humans help, he loved Kiyomi enough to do anything and everything for her. "I'm listening..."
Was this a good chapter? Or was this a good chapter? So now Rochelle is going to help Cell. Hopefully Kiyomi doesn't find out... Boy would she be mad. Understandable.. I hope I made hide-n-seek cute with the twins. It sounded cute! How are you guys? I'm great. Summer is cool. Me and my friend are having issues but who cares. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. See ya next Sunday or Saturday! Bye 3

"The twins. Those two are her everything. And if you don't learn that then you'll never win her back!"
Suki and Seru were both playing outside with Cell. Where the hell was Rochelle?!
"They are my offspring just like how they are yours. It takes two to make them."
"I c-can't do it anymore. I'm scared I'll be hurt by him again. And the voices won't leave me alone!"
Damn that android! How dare he get her aroused and crazy!
"P-please don't kill me.." She whispered.
"Mommy I don't feel so good..." Suki mumbled as she spit up a glob of blood and fell to the ground holding her stomach.
