Chapter three
The past will hurt like hell
(Third person p.o.v)
"I'm listening.." Cell said. "Well first things first. Where have you been?" Rochelle asked. "In the Hokkyoku mountains. I was temporarily frozen there until some human scientists decided to "study" me. Not wanting to be in the damn cold anymore, I flew to these woods." Rochelle nodded her head, understanding. "Are we going to discuss the plan now?" He asked. "It's not a plan. It's you making up for your mistakes. I'm just guiding you there." As much as Cell hated to admit it, she was right. Again. "Anyway. What is the number one thing to Kiyomi? What is her pride and joy?" She asked. "I do not know..." Cell mumbled. Her pride and joy? Who would that be.. "Incorrect. The twins. Those two are her everything. And if you don't learn that then you'll never win her back! Do you by any chance know their name?" "Moon and..." What was the boy's name? Sora...no. Shoji...no. He knew it was something with an S. But what? Rochelle cocked an eyebrow. Really. How does someone not know their own son's name?! Especially since it's their own! "You have got to be kidding me.. It's Seru! Suki and Seru!" Cell widen his eyes in shock. Kiyomi actually named their own son after him! The way she was talking, she made it seem as though she wanted nothing to do with him. To never ever speak his name even though she said it every time she had addressed their son. "Yes she named him after you. Although I didn't approve, she told me that because of you she now has a family. It's been something she's always wanted so the least she could do was thank you. Plus she was obsessed with having the same letter in the kids names." Cell smirked. "Sounds like Kiyomi.."
"Alright let's get back on track Cell. If you want to really pull Kiyomi's cuerdas del corazón, (heart strings) you have to get to know the kids. Make them laugh. Make them smile. Make them so happy that they won't want you to leave. And if they don't want you to go..." Rochelle gave Cell a tone of "finish my sentence". "Then I can't leave them. Or Kiyomi..." "Correct. Besides, they're your kids too and have every right to want to get to know them. Plus I couldn't get Suki to stop talking about you! 'Oh Cell is so cool!' 'Cell has the same eyes as me!' 'He's my new best friend!' That girl is fascinated with you." Cell sighed. As nice as it was to know that your daughter likes you, but it didn't make him happy. What if Kiyomi got mad? What if he hurt her again by trying to force his way into her life? Was this a good decision..? Rochelle saw the doubt in his face and decided to answer those questions for him. "She is going to be mad at first but once she realizes that the kids like you, she'll begrudgingly keep you around for their happiness. Besides, this is only the first phase. Just do it and stop thinking about it so much!" Rochelle then walked away complaining about how tired she was. What the hell just happened.. Cell questioned in his mind.
Kiyomi awoke in between 9 and 10 o'clock. Stretching, she walked into her bathroom and did her business. After coming out the shower she put her underwear on and a robe. Putting her hair in a messy bun, she checked the time on her Via pad. 10:30 it read. Still enough time for coffee.. She thought to herself. She saw a message from Bulma. It read:
Hey Kiyomi I'll be coming to her cabin in a week or so. So be prepared! I'm sorry for me and Vegeta's fight but we made it right in the end. Hope it's fun there and see you soon!
~Bulma
Kiyomi smiled to herself and walked downstairs to hear silence. Quiet. That wasn't normal. "Rochelle!" She called. Still silence. They probably went outside.. After making some coffee she went upstairs to change. She put on a white tank with lace on the bottom and sides, army green shorts, and white socks. No need for shoes it's just nature! Kiyomi combed her hair and then put it in a low ponytail, exposing both sides of her shaved head. As she was wrapping her arm with bandages, Kiyomi heard giggling outside. She looked out the window and dropped the bandages, not caring that she wasn't finished. Suki and Seru were both playing outside with Cell. Where the hell was Rochelle?! Cell had been outside with Seru and Suki, or offspring as he liked to call them, for about an hour. Suki of course was happy to be with her best friend again but Seru was still convinced that Cell was gonna make him eat his vegetables. At first he kept his distance and watched Suki play from afar. But him being a normal three year old, got bored and decided to play as well. Cell payed close attention to the twins behavior. Suki was kind yet confident. If she meant anything intriguing, she wanted to learn more about it. Or be friends with it in this case. Seru was cautious yet protective. Yesterday he was worried for his sister talking to a stranger but was willing to distract them by running away. Too bad it didn't work. Cell didn't like the fact that he chose a coward move but was impressed by his intelligence.
Trying to fool someone like him. It almost made Cell laugh. Seeing strength and intelligence in both the twins Cell came down to one conclusion. He would train them. Mainly Seru since men were better warriors and women were too emotional. Feeling eyes on him, Cell looked up to see Kiyomi giving him the coldest glare possible. But she didn't do anything. The twins were laughing and smiling and she didn't want to interfere with that. But her mother senses were telling her to protect them and right now she was listening to those senses. Cell saw her disappear from her window and reappear next to Seru. How the hell does she know Goku's trick?! He exclaimed in his thoughts. "Hi mommy!" Seru called. "Good morning my lovelies!" Kiyomi put on a smile for the children. They never really saw her angry and she wasn't about to let it happen today. On the outside she seemed happy as usual, but on the inside she was fuming with rage. "Hey guys. Where's auntie Rochelle?" She asked. "Auntie said she wanted more sleep and that we could play as long as we were quiet." Suki said. "Uh huh... Well why don't you wake her up for me hm?" "Ok!" The twins said in unison and ran off into the house.
Cell could feel Kiyomi's ki rising by the minute and was fully prepared for her anger. She was taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. "What part of "stay away from my family" didn't you understand!" She yelled facing him, eyes magenta and blazing with fury. "Well the girl wanted to play and I have an odd interest towards her so I why not? The boy watched from afar but eventually he joined in as well. All I was doing was watching them play the game tag." Cell explained not even a little angry. "No. You will leave immediately! I want you to stay away from MY kids!" Cell frowned. Every time she said her kids he made him angry. "They are my offspring just like how they are yours. It takes two to make them." "Them?! Offspring?! You better get this through your thick skull Cell. They are kids. Not offspring! They have names so don't you ever refer to them as "offspring". You have been gone for nearly four years! You have no right to try to come into their lives. And your right, it does take two to make kids. But really, it takes a woman and a bastard who she had sex with." "Alright now your starting to really piss me off. I know their names and if I want to get to know them, I will. And your petty rage won't affect me just because you can't accept the fact that your children like someone like me. And I may have been "a bastard who you had sex with" but don't forget that you feel in love with this bastard." Silence fell between them and Cell smirked at Kiyomi's shocked expression.
I say we kill him... Make him go away! You better listen to me this time or else you'll get hurt again...The voices were back. It took so long to make them go away and now they were back to haunt Kiyomi. You knew he was right before..your still just a weak human. Can't even protect your own kids... Should've listen to me when I said to leave him! Just die already! The thoughts were getting worse to point where Kiyomi started to get a headache. Shut up. Your not real. Your only around to tell me how much I failed in life when I really didn't! But you did... I didn't now leave me alone! You will never have love or a family you bitch! Kiyomi grabbed her head and started to feel dizzy. "Kiyomi." Cell called. Oh look the one and only pain in the ass is back. Let's see what he does to make you break again.. Leave me alone...please. Remember the time when you found out that Chen didn't love you? Such a fond memory... Stop it. Or how bout when Cell left you to die! SHUT UP! No no.. the best one would be when Chen beat you for wanting to be a whore dancer. Guess he was right! Kiyomi's breathing became irregular and her chest started to hurt. "Kiyomi you need to calm down." Cell walked up to her and held her face between his hands. "Breathe." Kiyomi looked at him with fear. "Don't touch me!" She yelled and pushed Cell away from her. She threw up and started breathing harder. "Why can't you just leave me alone!" She cried.
Rochelle looked out the window and saw Kiyomi yelling outside. "Twins stay in your room!" She yelled and ran outside. "Kiyomi!" She called. "Qué coño haces?!" "She's having a panic attack." Cell answered. "And your not helping her!" "She told me to leave her alone." Rochelle ignored Cell. At the moment her friend needed her. "Kiyomi?can you tell me what's wrong? I'll listen if you need me to." Rochelle asked softly. "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!" Kiyomi held her head as she cried. "Cell I think it's best if you give her some space." He nodded his head and walked to the backyard. It hurt to know that he was the cause of her panic attack but he really didn't say anything! So why was she acting like this? "It's ok Kiyomi. He's gone now." "He'll never leave me alone Rochelle. I don't want him to hurt my babies.." She whispered. "He won't do that. I promise you he won't." "But the voices say he will!" She cried again and fell into Rochelle's arms. "Do you want them to go away?" She asked softly. Kiyomi whimpered a yes. "Let's go in the house hm?" Kiyomi slowly stood and Rochelle walked her into the house. They sat on the floor in the living room in silence. "Kiyomi could you close your eyes for me." Kiyomi did as she was told and waited for more instructions. Rochelle had been counseling troubled children for years now and she knew exactly what Kiyomi was going through. Seeing someone who hurt you from your past makes you feel like they're going to hurt you again. Kiyomi tried to get rid of Cell but failed. And now that the kids like him, it means he'll have a reason stay around. The memories of what he did to her haunted her and made her emotionally unstable. Maybe if Cell came at her with a different approach she'd just be angry and not panicking so much. "Alright now breathe through your nose and out your mouth a few times." A few breathing exercises, chai tea, and some yoga should do her some good.
~Lot's of relaxation later...~
Seru and Suki came running into the living room and Rochelle immediately shushed them. "What do you guys need?" She whispered. "We're hungry!" Seru said. "Ok I'll make you some lunch. Kiyomi do you want anything?" She asked softly. Kiyomi only continued to stare at the wall. Ever since she was able to calm down, she had been contemplating on what she was going to do. The voices were gone for now but as they promised, they would be back. She didn't understand why she was feeling this way about the whole situation. Maybe it was the fact that he was back in her life when it was just beginning to be perfect. Or maybe because her life was becoming difficult and now Cell made it ten times worse... "Is mama okay?" Suki asked putting their foreheads together. Memories of Suki and Seru growing up filled Kiyomi's mind. Their first words. Their first haircut. Their 1st birthday. Their first everything. Kiyomi looked at her daughter with tears going down her face. "I'm alright now." She then kissed her nose and went into the kitchen with Rochelle. "You better now?" She asked. "Yeah I'm okay for now.." "I'm sorry." Rochelle said solemnly. "For what?" Kiyomi asked very confused. "For causing you to.." Rochelle couldn't even finish her sentence. Kiyomi put her hands on her shoulders. "You didn't cause this. I had a panic attack because I couldn't handle the fact that Cell will be back in my life. I may not like it but I'll accept it for my kids. I made a promise to be a mother and not an emotional wreck and I plan on keeping that promise." Rochelle felt guilty for being the cause of her panic attack. It was in fact her idea to have Cell around..but if Kiyomi was willing to accept Cell being around, then she'd let her.
The rest of the day was quiet and peaceful. The twins decided to continue their game with Cell. Rochelle watched some tv. Kiyomi meditated and did some yoga. And Cell continued to observe and learn more about the kids. He wondered about Kiyomi a lot but was put at ease when he felt her relaxed ki still in the same spot. "Time for bed pequeños. (Little ones)" Rochelle called. "Aw.." They whined but said their goodbyes to Cell and went inside. They brushed their teeth and put their pajamas on and snuggled in their beds. "Suki let me braid your hair." Kiyomi said. Like her, Suki's hair was purple and long. Before bed she had it braided to keep it curly in the day. Seru also had purple hair with a green high light in his bangs. His hair was curly and swooped to the side to be out of his face. Seru always had his hair brushed to keep it untangled and soft. After Kiyomi said goodnight to her son and daughter, she went into her room for a bath. She relaxed for about 30 minutes before she got out and put on blue floral underwear with a matching bra. While she was putting on her robe, something caught her eye. Or didn't catch her eye. Cell wasn't in the backyard anymore which meant she could finally go back there. She sighed in relief as she felt the cold night grass in between her toes. She sat on the swing and admired the full moon. How beautiful she was watching the world with her children. The stars. Kiyomi remembered what it was like being space. It was beautiful to just admire the planets and their beauty. She smirked as she remembered opening a wine bottle with her shoe. Sucks I haven't been able to complete anything else on my bucket list.. She internally sighed. Ever since she became head of the administration department, Kiyomi's been in need of a way to release stress. The only way for her was by smoking and dancing. She was too tired to dance so a quick smoke sounded better. But of course, Kiyomi loves her body and doesn't want to cause harm to it, so she sticks with vapor pens.
Pressing the button on the side, the front of the electric cigarette became a light blue. She drew the vapor slowly into her and blew it out her nose. "If only I had some wine.." She mumbled. "You sure you want alcohol after your panic attack?" Cell asked from behind her. Kiyomi took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I'm fine if that's what your asking." She said. "No I'm just making simple conversation.." She rolled her eyes and took another inhale of her vapor pen. "What are doing?" Cell asked interested in her e-cigarette. "Smoking. Or vaping. Which ever comes first." "Why smoke? It harms your body and causes terminal illness." Cell by this point was standing in front of Kiyomi, looking her in the eye. "It's just water vapor. And it's my way of relieving stress. I'm too tired to dance at the moment and it helps me sleep better." Cell took the vapor pen into his hands and inspected it. "Hey give it back!" Kiyomi whispered/yelled. It was late and waking up Rochelle wouldn't be a good idea. Cell turned to the side, which meant he was out of reach of Kiyomi's hands. "Your being a two year old!" Kiyomi reached for it again but Cell raised it above his head. "If you want it, come get it." He said with a playful look in his eyes. Kiyomi sighed with exasperation. She jumped to reach the pen but Cell switched hands. Kiyomi kept reaching for it and by the fourth time she decided to tease him back. When she jumped to get the pen again, she purposely missed and opened her rob revealing her underwear. "Your very annoying Cell." She said putting her hands on her hips. Cell looked her qp and down and felt himself get excited. For years without "touching" another person does crazy stuff to you. Kiyomi internally smirked at his expression. So damn gullible.. Cell knew exactly what Kiyomi was doing but damn was it working! He missed the way her body looked and so badly wanted to touch it again. If it wasn't for their past, he would've taken her right then and there.
"Hey Cell. My eyes are up here." Kiyomi said snapping him out of his trance. Wrapping her robe closed she continued to have her smoke. "Wait how did you-" But Cell stopped mid sentence. Damn she's good...I wonder if I still have the same effect on her.. Cell thought and smirked as Kiyomi sat on the swing again. He fazed in front of Kiyomi, which surprised her and made her nearly fall back if Cell hadn't caught her. "It's not nice to tease.." He whispered huskily in her ear. Kiyomi shivered with pleasure as his hot breathe hit her neck. "Who said I was nice?" She asked seductively. Kiyomi didn't know why but she had a buzz going and was willing to mess around with Cell for a while. Cell on the other hand, was liking this side of her and was willing to take advantage. He appeared behind Kiyomi and slowly put kisses on her neck. She leaned into his touch and bit her lip hard enough to draw blood when he nipped at her ear. Damn erogenous spot.. Cell turned Kiyomi's head towards his and lightly planted a kiss on her lips. She leaned in more as their lips interlocked again and as soon as Cell's tongue slid into her mouth, she instant transmissioned to Seru's room. She moaned loudly and immediately covered her mouth as he stirred. Quickly, Kiyomi ran to her room and sighed in relief. Damn that android! How dare he get her aroused and crazy! She looked out the patio window that over looked the garden to see Cell laughing. She blushed a deep crimson and stood on the deck. "Oh be quiet Cell!" She whispered/yelled. "Why my dear? You obviously enjoyed our little fun.." He said with a chuckle and a playful wink. Oh how good it felt to hear his laugh! "Did you want us to continue up their?" He asked. Kiyomi blushed an even darker red. "N-no..I came to my room to go to bed.."
Cell smirked. They were getting along just fine and he was finally making progress. Soon she'll forgive him and he'll be able to call her his again. Not that she already wasn't. "I know a way to make you sleep faster.." Cell said his smirk growing. "Good night Cell." Kiyomi quickly ran back into her room, making sure to lock her patio door. Cell laughed and shook his head at her actions. Taking off her robe, Kiyomi got into bed and stared up at the ceiling. You better stop messing with me you damn pests! She internally yelled at the voices. Oh poor Kiyomi...you think you can out run us! We will always be there to make your life hell... Hell, It already is... She had had enough of this. Kiyomi put her headphones on and listen to some music on the max volume. They still wouldn't shut up. After a long hour she finally was able to sleep...but of course the voices made sleep a living hell as well..
Running. That was the only thing Kiyomi could do. She ran not just for her own life, but for her bulging stomach's as well. She ran through a dense forest, dodging trees and lose branches. Kiyomi didn't know why but she had to get away from the danger. She could feel herself getting tired but she kept running. A rock made her trip and fall down a slope. Tumbling down the hill, her back hit a tree as she made it to the bottom. Her blood froze as she heard a sickening laugh. With eyes full of fear she looked up to see the person she was running from. Cell. "P-please don't kill me.." She whispered. "Weaklings like you disgust me!" He spat. Kiyomi flinched from his tone. "That's why you will die by my hands!" "No Cell!" She cried. "I'm pregnant. Y-you'll kill the innocent baby that's growing inside me! Please let me live!" Tears were streaming down her face as she curled into a ball. Cell smirked evilly. "You and your bastard child will die a painfully slow death." Holding out his hand, Cell charged a ki blast and blasted Kiyomi with it...
"I'm not ready to die!" Kiyomi shouted as Suki came into her room, trying to wake her mother for a glass of water. Hitting her, Suki flew into the wall. Kiyomi fell onto the floor in tears and reached for the Benelli Nova that was under the bed. The shotgun was mainly meant for hunting but just in case crazy ass people in the woods came by, she could use it instead of a ki blasts. Suki opened her eyes and stared at her mom uneasily. "Ouchie.." She mumbled. Kiyomi stared at her with fear. Those eyes...why won't he leave me alone! She thought. Cocking the gun she pointed it at Suki as she got up and came towards her mom. "Leave me alone Cell!" She shouted and shot off all eight rounds. Rochelle scrambled out of bed and up the stairs. Seru was in the hallway and stood their with wide eyes. "The hell was that Kiyomi?" She asked worriedly. Rochelle saw that she was visibly shaking with the gun in her hands and slowly came towards her. "Hey. Hey, it's alright." Kiyomi was breathing hard and was sweating as if she had just had a run. "Seru turn on the lights please." Seru did as he was told and stood next to Suki who was unusually quiet. Rochelle mentally counted the bullet holes in the walls. She only found six. "Kiyomi how many rounds were in the gun?" She didn't answer so Rochelle asked with more force. "How many rounds Kiyomi!?" "Eight..." She said with wide eyes. "Then where are the other two?!" "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. It was as if Kiyomi's worse nightmare was coming true. She felt numb. In the back ground she could faintly hear Rochelle's screams. She barely felt Seru shaking her, asking if his sister was all right. In reality, she didn't even know herself...
Oh help us all! Kiyomi what did you do?! I don't know.. Dammit now I'll have to make another chapter explaining what happened.. Hey guys! I hope you all likes this chapter because I had to do a lot of research about panic attacks. I personally never had one and I hope those who have are in a better place in this crazy ass world. Kiyomi has this panic attack to show that even strong people have weak moments or weak points in life. I just wanna give a shoutout to rinpup14 for reviewing! It's nice to know what you guys think..Hope your day is going well and I guess I'll see you next week!

"Just heal her! Please.." I begged.
"What do I get out of it?"
"Your still lying to me! Just tell me the truth Kiyomi!"
Kiyomi? Are you somewhat jealous that Jean is willing to risk a lot to connect with the children and not you?"
If any man is willing to apologize for their wrong, they at least deserve one more chance to prove if they deserve it...
Ps. If you haven't noticed I've changed the rating...There may be a lemon or two in the book... *evil laugh*
