The Simple Life
Chapter 3
12/30/00
Ossu, Minna-chan! Here's the next part of The Simple Life! Yay! I don't
own Dragonball z/gt or Sailor Moon. So, if you sue, you're mean and a penny pincher
who just wants to get more money so that you can bomb New Jersey and set the pigeons,
nechrophiliacs, and the kleptomaniacs free. You're even worse if you know what those
two words mean. (I live in New Jersey, please don't get offended, its just joking)
'Nuff said. ^_^
Oh yeah. I downloaded this song called 'SSJ Trunks Theme' off of Napster the
other day. It's a really great song, and the beat just makes you want to jump around.
If you know the name of the singer or the real title of the song, please email me and
tell me. Thanks! Now, Enjoy the fic!
"Oi! Odango!"
Usagi searched for the owner of the familiar voice. 'Can it be them?'
Snap Snap! Snap Snap!
"Penetrating the darkness of the night..."
"The Freedom of the light breaks through..."
"We are the three sacred shooting stars..."
"Sailor Star Fighter!"
"Sailor Star Maker!"
"Sailor Star Healer!"
"Sailor Starlights! Stage on!!"
Three leather-clad women dropped down in front of the Z gang. Yamcha examined
their backsides *very* thoroughly. He started laughing and drooling like an idiot.
"Who're these people?" Krillen asked Bulma.
"I don't know, but Yamcha had better stop staring," She seethed.
Yamcha giggled like a little schoolgirl and then Bulma backhanded him.
"Itai!!"
Vejita smirked, satisfied that at least someone other than him was at the
receiving end of Bulma's anger. He then turned his attention to the fight that was
ensuing between the psychotic woman and the three leather clad women.
"Star Gentle Uterus!!"
"Star Sensitive Inferno!!"
The two attacks slammed into the woman. She flew back a few feet before halting
and growling in annoyance. 'Kuso! I thought that little Oujo was alone here.'
With vengeance in mind, she positioned her arms in front of her and
aimed them at the Starlights, then released her attack. It sped for the Starlights,
who readied their attacks. The woman mumbled some incoherent words and the
ball of energy changed course and headed straight towards Usagi.
Usagi watched as the attack came nearer and nearer. She could feel the heat
of it. Just as the bright light was about to engulf her, she was knocked to the
ground by a hard body. Her eyes were closed in fright and surprise.
Usagi could hear the woman curse. She heard someone call for her from the
ground below.
"Odango?! Daijoubu ka?!"
Usagi opened her eyes, surprised to be looking straight into a pair of ice
blue ones. 'Trunks... You're so close.' She blushed and struggled for words.
"D-daijoubu, Fighter." She said, still looking into Trunks' eyes.
Trunks looked down at the angel he was covering. Protecting. From this
distance he could smell her. 'Strawberries.' He thought to himself. Her crystal
blue eyes stared into the depths of his soul. And all he wanted to do was lose himself
in those blue orbs. 'Usagi... You're so close. Close enough to...'
"Kuso!" The woman's shout shook the two teens out of their blissful thoughts.
"I'll be back to finish my task, little Princess! Remember my name! Tomoko! You'll be
whispering it on your deathbed, Oujo!" She sneered and disappeared through a
black portal.
Trunks looked down to Usagi, a fearful look entered her eyes.
"Daijoubu ka?" He whispered, his voice slightly husky.
"Daijoubu." She whispered back.
Trunks lifted her from the roof and flew down to the ground where Gohan was
checking up on Piccolo. The Starlights walked over to the group, Sailor Star Fighter
taking a protective stance behind Usagi.
Vejita snorted, "What in Kami's name are you weaklings wearing?!"
Sailor Star Healer glared at him, "The way we dress is none of your concern.
Feh! You can't talk, look at your ensemble! Spandex?!"
"Healer, be nice." A soft voice reprimanded.
Healer looked over to Usagi, who had unshed tears in her eyes.
"Ne, Usagi-san. You're such a bother. We had to come all this way to help you."
Though it sounded like a scold, Healer smiled to show that she didn't mind coming to
help her friend.
"Gomen ne, Healer. I never meant to be a bother to you three."
"Of course you're not a bother, Odango." Fighter assured while patting one of
Usagi's Odangos.
Yamcha jumped in front of Sailor Star Fighter and began to vigorously shake her
hand. "Hi! My name's Yamcha. I like to fight and play baseball. Please go out with
me because you're very cu-"
*BAM*
"Shut-up, Yamcha!" Bulma yelled as Yamcha held his injured head, staring at the
baseball bat in fear.
Sailor Star Fighter smiled and said, "Sorry, but I only have eyes for Odango and
Princess Kakyuu."
Everyone gave startled looks and blank stares.
Goku laughed nervously, "Well, everyone's entitled to their own lifestyle!"
"Nani?" Fighter asked, confused.
Usagi smiled, "It's nothing, Seiya. You three should detransform."
The Starlights pressed the stars on their ears and lights wrapped around them,
taking away their disguises. Where three leather-clad women once stood, three
males took their places. If one hadn't been staring earlier, one was staring now.
Goku recovered first, "Sugoi!" He said excitedly.
Yamcha had a depressed look on his face at finding out that the 'Cute girl' was
actually a... well, not entirely a... Well, you get the picture.
Vejita had a horrified look on his face, "That's just sick! Why would you want
to change your sex just to fight?!"
Seiya shrugged and draped his arm over Usagi's shoulder. Trunks saw this
movement and got a little jealous.
The brown haired man stepped forward, "We should introduce ourselves. My name
is Kou Taiki."
"Kou Yaten." The silver haired man said, slightly miffed.
"And I'm Kou Seiya! Good to meet you!" Seiya greeted, waving to the group.
Bulma gestured to the house, "We should go in. You three may stay here if you
like."
"Domo Arigato, er..." Seiya trailed off, struggling for a name to call the blue haired
woman. Bulma decided to help him out.
"Briefs Bulma."
"Bulma-san. I have to talk to Odango for a moment. Please excuse us." He pardoned
as he and Usagi walked a little ways away from the house. As soon as they were a
good distance away, Usagi sprang the first question before he could.
"How did you know to come here?"
"What? Over to the yard? I just didn't want them to hear us." Seiya joked.
"I meant to this world." She said quietly. Now wasn't a time for playing around
"Oh that. Kakyuu-hime told us you left your earth because of the senshi and
Mamoru-san." He clenched his fists in anger. Usagi's expression softened as
she looked into his angry blue eyes.
"Don't worry about that, Seiya." She held his hand, trying to calm him down.
"But I do worry about you, Odango. When Kakyuu-hime told us about it, Taiki-kun
and Yaten-kun had to tie me down from going to earth and hurting Mamoru-bakayaru."
Seiya walked over to a tree and started punching it.
"Kakyuu-hime told us that she had a dream where she saw all that you went through.
She said a woman, who looked like you, told her to send someone to help you. Kakyuu-hime
was going to call on Sailor Pluto, but I told her that we'd come to help."
"Arigato, Seiya." She spoke quietly.
Seiya turned to look in her eyes and suddenly hugged her.
"I care about you so much, Odango. Your shine has dimmed."
Usagi parted from the embrace and looked down. "I don't know what's wrong. I
tried to transform but... it didn't work."
"Gomen nasai, Usagi."
"For what?"
"For not taking care of you like I said I would. For letting Mamoru do that to
you." He gestured to her bandages.
"Daijoubu kitto ok, Seiya!" She said, flashing a smile. "My new friends are
going to train me! I'll be able to defend myself if I can't transform."
"Speaking of new friends, you looked pretty comfortable with that lavender-haired
guy."
"Do you mean Trunks-kun?"
"Oh! So he's Trunks-KUN, huh? I'm jealous, Odango! You've dumped me for a
muscular, purple-haired hottie. When they ask, 'Whatever happened to that good-looking
dark-haired man?' you'll answer, 'Who?' Such an innocent you are, Odan-"
Seiya was cut off as Usagi punched him in the arm, "You're such an actor, Seiya."
He smirked, "Well, that's why I'm an idol. Ne, Usagi?" Smirk now gone, "Are
you sure you're alright?"
"Yep!" She smiled, "Now let's get back to the house and you can meet everybody
formally!"
Usagi dragged Seiya out of the front yard and took him into the house. Inside,
Taiki and Yaten were sitting on the couch drinking tea.
"Oi! You guys were gone for a long time. Lot's to talk about eh, Seiya?"
Yaten asked, mischievous glint in his eye..
"Uh... yeah." Seiya answered, somewhat uncomfortably.
Then to his relief Bulma walked into the room holding a tea pot.
"Oh! Hi Usagi-san, Seiya-san. Do you want some tea?" She asked cheerfully.
"Domo, Bulma-san." Usagi answered.
Bulma turned around to head for the kitchen to get more cups when she bumped
into a hard body, the pot fell to the floor, shattered.
"Watch what you're doing woman!" Vejita yelled, angry because some tea had gotten
on to his boots. He noticed the three newcomers and Usagi staring at him. "What are
you staring at, weaklings?" He snorted and walked out of the room.
Yaten turned his head away from where Vejita once stood, "I'm really starting
to hate that guy!"
Bulma got a towel and started cleaning up the broken pot. Usagi walked over and
started collecting pieces of the pot and putting them in the trash can.
"Arigato, Usagi-san. You know, Yaten-san. Vejita isn't as bad as he seems. He's
had a bad life. One a lot rougher than most have had. He was raised to fight, not to
care." Bulma said, a hint of sorrow for the man she had come to love and had a child
with.
Yaten's expression softened. He knew what it was like to have a rough life. He
had to battle Chaos and was forced to watch and do nothing as it killed Kakyuu-hime and
took her Star Seed. He, and Taiki and Seiya, had to flee their broken planet because
Chaos had destroyed their home. But when he had met Usagi, everything turned out ok.
They had gotten their Princess back and their planet was rebuilt. Usagi was everyone's
light. She gave the Starlights hope during the terrible battle with Chaos.
Yaten looked to the woman known as Bulma. She had just finished wiping up the
mess and was going into the kitchen to make some more tea. 'Could Bulma-san be
Vejita-san's light?' Yaten turned his attention back to his tea and gulped it down
quickly.
Goku and Piccolo walked in the room and addressed Usagi.
"If you want to train with us, we'll have to see what you can do first. Plus
get you familiar with the equipment here," Piccolo said in his ever-gruff voice.
Taiki looked up shocked, "You're going to train, Usagi-san?"
"Yep. I have to know how to defend myself if I'm going to stay here." She
stated, matter-of-factly.
Seiya jumped from his chair, "Nani?! Kakyuu-hime offered to take you in on
Kinmoku. Don't you want to live there?"
Usagi sighed. She'd like to, really. But she wanted to start over, with new
people. No offense to the guys. "Seiya..."
Seiya's expression turned from eager to hurt. He covered it up quickly and
hugged Usagi. "When you train, don't get hurt, Odango."
Usagi smiled, glad that he understood, "I won't, Seiya." Then she followed
Piccolo and Goku out of the room.
Taiki turned to Seiya and Yaten, "She sure has changed, hasn't she?"
Yaten nodded and Seiya stayed silent. 'Odango. You have no idea how much you
mean to me. I'll protect you with my last breath.'
****************
Piccolo reached the gravity room first. The red light was on, signaling that
the gravity was on. He looked at the monitor on the door. 'Kuso. 425x. Vejita left
the room on again.'
"The gravity room's been left on by an irresponsible, egotistical, belligerent,
psychotic short guy with black spiky hair. I have to go in and it turn it off because
it'll be too much for you Usagi-san." Piccolo said. He opened the door and went in.
Usagi turned to Goku who was standing beside her. "Piccolo-san doesn't like
Vejita-san, does he?"
Goku laughed nervously, "Uh... not really. No. I should go in, you stay here."
"Hey! What is it with you people and bossing me around! Come back here!" She
yelled, running after Goku into the room.
Usagi stepped into the gray room. It was empty, save for a few weights in the
corner of the room. It felt a little heavy, 'Piccolo must've just turned off the
gravity.'
She walked up to Goku and Piccolo, who was punching buttons on the computer.
"Hey! What was with the big idea of leaving me out there, Goku-san!"
Piccolo stopped punching keys and looked up shocked, his eyes were wide. Goku
had his mouth hanging open, he glanced from the computer to Usagi and back again.
"How-? You-? Masaka!!" Goku stammered.
"The machine's still on 425x normal gravity." Piccolo said, shocked out of his
wits.
"Is that bad?" Usagi asked hesitantly.
Goku smiled and a look of admiration came across his face, "Of course not! That's
absolutely amazing! Have you been in a gravity machine before?"
"Well, when I fought the dark moon family at the age of 14, I went through some heavy
gravity, but I don't know how much it was. I guess my body got used to it." She
shrugged, satisfied with her answer.
Usagi looked down at the bandages that were wrapped around her leg. It felt
alright, and didn't hurt to walk on it. Without hesitation, she bent down and began
to unravel the bandages.
Goku noticed, and was about to stop her, when Piccolo placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I want to see how her cuts are." he said mysteriously.
Goku just nodded.
Usagi removed the last piece and examined her leg. It was completely healed, like
her cuts and bruises were never there. She grinned as comprehension dawned on her. If
this was healed, then the cut on her side would be gone too! She lifted up her shirt
eagerly, and then put it down quickly, blushing furiously. 'I forgot that they were here.'
"Could you just turn around for a sec?" She asked, still red as a beet.
The two men nodded and turned. Usagi quickly unwrapped the bandages and examined
her side. The gash was gone too, as if it was never there! She smiled. She looked to
Piccolo and Goku, who were still turned around.
"It's ok now." She said.
Piccolo smirked, "You're completely healed now, aren't you?"
Usagi frowned, 'How did he know?' Then aloud, "Hai, how did you know that?"
"You have a very special ki. I don't know how to explain it, but your ki allows
you to heal at a rate faster than normal humans. I've noticed that your power level has
been steadily rising since you woke up." 'I also sense that you have a natural fighting
ability, we just have to bring it out.'
Usagi's eyes shifted around the room.
Suddenly, Piccolo lunged for Usagi. She looked up, a panicked look on her face.
Usagi began to scream and streaks of yellow light began to form around her.
Piccolo threw a ki blast at her. And suddenly she wasn't there. Piccolo spotted
Goku cradling Usagi in his arms. The yellow light that had formed around her was now
fading. Usagi then passed out.
Goku looked up and glared, "Why'd you do that? You could've hurt her. She's not
ready for ki blasts."
Piccolo glared back, "Don't you sense it?" Goku's confused look prodded him to
explain more. "Her power level shot up when I came at her. Didn't you see that yellow
light wrap around her?"
Goku looked down at her face, "I did see it, and felt it too. I guess I've
become protective of someone I've just met. You know, like a daughter."
"Well, it had better not interfere with her training. From what's happened, if
she can't transform into her fighting alias, she better learn self-defense now."
Goku smiled, "Yeah, I get ya." He walked out of the room, "When she wakes up,
we'll try again."
Piccolo sighed and walked out of the room.
Minutes later Bulma walked by the gravity room and noticed that it was still on.
"Hey! Which irresponsible, egotistical, belligerent, psychotic short guy with
black spiky hair left the gravity room on again?!"
And somewhere in the house... "Don't bark at me Woman!"
Both parties fumed at the other.
*******************
Tomoko sat on a chair in her ambiguous secret hideout. With a cry of frustration
she threw a ki blast at a window, the shattering glass shooting in all directions.
"Damn that little princess! I've waited a thousand years to get my revenge, and
when it's finally within my grasp... Freak cross dressers ruin it all! Damn them all to
hell and make them wear polka-dotted underwear for the rest of their unnatural lives!"
She got up from her chair and paced around the dark room. "I have to end the
Royal blood line of the Lunarians. That is my goal. But now that I have my treasures,
compliments to Galaxia for constructing a device to take them, I will kill the
Lunarian Princess! And those freak cross dressers!!! Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!"
Hi! Wasn't this a fun chapter? I got kinda wierd with my humor. What 'treasures'
does she have? More will be revealed soon! Ja! ~Bunny-chan Don't forget to review!
B-c: And what would I do without my wonderful friend and prereader Shorty-chan?
Shorty: Probably spell everything wrong and get a whole bunch of flames.
B-c: Uh huh. Feeling a little devilish today, are we?
Shorty: *blink* No, why do you ask?
B-c: *sigh* Never mind. Thanks for prereading.
Shorty: *grinz* Anytime, long ears!
B-c: *mutters under breath* I don't have long ears...
Shorty: hehehe...we'll see.
B-c: Shorty? Shorty...why'd ya have that crazy look in your eyes? Shorty? Waitaminute!

Shorty: Come here Bunny! I got some glue and hair ties with your name on it!

Ossu, Minna-chan! Here's the next part of The Simple Life! Yay! I don't
own Dragonball z/gt or Sailor Moon. So, if you sue, you're mean and a penny pincher
who just wants to get more money so that you can bomb New Jersey and set the pigeons,
nechrophiliacs, and the kleptomaniacs free. You're even worse if you know what those

"Oi! Odango!"
Usagi searched for the owner of the familiar voice. 'Can it be them?'
Snap Snap! Snap Snap!
"Penetrating the darkness of the night..."
"The Freedom of the light breaks through..."
"We are the three sacred shooting stars..."
"Sailor Star Fighter!"
"Sailor Star Maker!"
"Sailor Star Healer!"
"Sailor Starlights! Stage on!!"
Three leather-clad women dropped down in front of the Z gang. Yamcha examined
their backsides *very* thoroughly. He started laughing and drooling like an idiot.
"Who're these people?" Krillen asked Bulma.
"I don't know, but Yamcha had better stop staring," She seethed.

Usagi could hear the woman curse. She heard someone call for her from the
ground below.
"Odango?! Daijoubu ka?!"
Usagi opened her eyes, surprised to be looking straight into a pair of ice
blue ones. 'Trunks... You're so close.' She blushed and struggled for words.
"D-daijoubu, Fighter." She said, still looking into Trunks' eyes.
Trunks looked down at the angel he was covering. Protecting. From this
distance he could smell her. 'Strawberries.' He thought to himself. Her crystal
blue eyes stared into the depths of his soul. And all he wanted to do was lose himself
in those blue orbs. 'Usagi... You're so close. Close enough to...'
"Kuso!" The woman's shout shook the two teens out of their blissful thoughts.
"I'll be back to finish my task, little Princess! Remember my name! Tomoko! You'll be
whispering it on your deathbed, Oujo!" She sneered and disappeared through a
black portal.
Trunks looked down to Usagi, a fearful look entered her eyes.
"Daijoubu ka?" He whispered, his voice slightly husky.
"Daijoubu." She whispered back.
Trunks lifted her from the roof and flew down to the ground where Gohan was
checking up on Piccolo. The Starlights walked over to the group, Sailor Star Fighter
taking a protective stance behind Usagi.
Vejita snorted, "What in Kami's name are you weaklings wearing?!"
Sailor Star Healer glared at him, "The way we dress is none of your concern.
Feh! You can't talk, look at your ensemble! Spandex?!"
"Healer, be nice." A soft voice reprimanded.
Healer looked over to Usagi, who had unshed tears in her eyes.
"Ne, Usagi-san. You're such a bother. We had to come all this way to help you."
Though it sounded like a scold, Healer smiled to show that she didn't mind coming to
help her friend.
"Gomen ne, Healer. I never meant to be a bother to you three."
"Of course you're not a bother, Odango." Fighter assured while patting one of
Usagi's Odangos.
Yamcha jumped in front of Sailor Star Fighter and began to vigorously shake her
hand. "Hi! My name's Yamcha. I like to fight and play baseball. Please go out with
me because you're very cu-"
*BAM*
"Shut-up, Yamcha!" Bulma yelled as Yamcha held his injured head, staring at the
baseball bat in fear.
Sailor Star Fighter smiled and said, "Sorry, but I only have eyes for Odango and
Princess Kakyuu."
Everyone gave startled looks and blank stares.
Goku laughed nervously, "Well, everyone's entitled to their own lifestyle!"
"Nani?" Fighter asked, confused.
Usagi smiled, "It's nothing, Seiya. You three should detransform."
The Starlights pressed the stars on their ears and lights wrapped around them,
taking away their disguises. Where three leather-clad women once stood, three
males took their places. If one hadn't been staring earlier, one was staring now.

Seiya shrugged and draped his arm over Usagi's shoulder. Trunks saw this
movement and got a little jealous.
The brown haired man stepped forward, "We should introduce ourselves. My name
is Kou Taiki."
"Kou Yaten." The silver haired man said, slightly miffed.
"And I'm Kou Seiya! Good to meet you!" Seiya greeted, waving to the group.
Bulma gestured to the house, "We should go in. You three may stay here if you
like."
"Domo Arigato, er..." Seiya trailed off, struggling for a name to call the blue haired
woman. Bulma decided to help him out.
"Briefs Bulma."
"Bulma-san. I have to talk to Odango for a moment. Please excuse us." He pardoned
as he and Usagi walked a little ways away from the house. As soon as they were a
good distance away, Usagi sprang the first question before he could.
"How did you know to come here?"
"What? Over to the yard? I just didn't want them to hear us." Seiya joked.
"I meant to this world." She said quietly. Now wasn't a time for playing around
"Oh that. Kakyuu-hime told us you left your earth because of the senshi and
Mamoru-san." He clenched his fists in anger. Usagi's expression softened as
she looked into his angry blue eyes.
"Don't worry about that, Seiya." She held his hand, trying to calm him down.
"But I do worry about you, Odango. When Kakyuu-hime told us about it, Taiki-kun
and Yaten-kun had to tie me down from going to earth and hurting Mamoru-bakayaru."
Seiya walked over to a tree and started punching it.
"Kakyuu-hime told us that she had a dream where she saw all that you went through.
She said a woman, who looked like you, told her to send someone to help you. Kakyuu-hime
was going to call on Sailor Pluto, but I told her that we'd come to help."
"Arigato, Seiya." She spoke quietly.
Seiya turned to look in her eyes and suddenly hugged her.
"I care about you so much, Odango. Your shine has dimmed."
Usagi parted from the embrace and looked down. "I don't know what's wrong. I
tried to transform but... it didn't work."
"Gomen nasai, Usagi."
"For what?"
"For not taking care of you like I said I would. For letting Mamoru do that to
you." He gestured to her bandages.
"Daijoubu kitto ok, Seiya!" She said, flashing a smile. "My new friends are
going to train me! I'll be able to defend myself if I can't transform."
"Speaking of new friends, you looked pretty comfortable with that lavender-haired
guy."
"Do you mean Trunks-kun?"
"Oh! So he's Trunks-KUN, huh? I'm jealous, Odango! You've dumped me for a
muscular, purple-haired hottie. When they ask, 'Whatever happened to that good-looking
dark-haired man?' you'll answer, 'Who?' Such an innocent you are, Odan-"
Seiya was cut off as Usagi punched him in the arm, "You're such an actor, Seiya."
He smirked, "Well, that's why I'm an idol. Ne, Usagi?" Smirk now gone, "Are
you sure you're alright?"
"Yep!" She smiled, "Now let's get back to the house and you can meet everybody
formally!"
Usagi dragged Seiya out of the front yard and took him into the house. Inside,
Taiki and Yaten were sitting on the couch drinking tea.
"Oi! You guys were gone for a long time. Lot's to talk about eh, Seiya?"
Yaten asked, mischievous glint in his eye..
"Uh... yeah." Seiya answered, somewhat uncomfortably.
Then to his relief Bulma walked into the room holding a tea pot.
"Oh! Hi Usagi-san, Seiya-san. Do you want some tea?" She asked cheerfully.
"Domo, Bulma-san." Usagi answered.
Bulma turned around to head for the kitchen to get more cups when she bumped
into a hard body, the pot fell to the floor, shattered.
"Watch what you're doing woman!" Vejita yelled, angry because some tea had gotten
on to his boots. He noticed the three newcomers and Usagi staring at him. "What are
you staring at, weaklings?" He snorted and walked out of the room.
Yaten turned his head away from where Vejita once stood, "I'm really starting
to hate that guy!"
Bulma got a towel and started cleaning up the broken pot. Usagi walked over and
started collecting pieces of the pot and putting them in the trash can.
"Arigato, Usagi-san. You know, Yaten-san. Vejita isn't as bad as he seems. He's
had a bad life. One a lot rougher than most have had. He was raised to fight, not to
care." Bulma said, a hint of sorrow for the man she had come to love and had a child
with.
Yaten's expression softened. He knew what it was like to have a rough life. He
had to battle Chaos and was forced to watch and do nothing as it killed Kakyuu-hime and
took her Star Seed. He, and Taiki and Seiya, had to flee their broken planet because
Chaos had destroyed their home. But when he had met Usagi, everything turned out ok.
They had gotten their Princess back and their planet was rebuilt. Usagi was everyone's
light. She gave the Starlights hope during the terrible battle with Chaos.
Yaten looked to the woman known as Bulma. She had just finished wiping up the
mess and was going into the kitchen to make some more tea. 'Could Bulma-san be
Vejita-san's light?' Yaten turned his attention back to his tea and gulped it down
quickly.
Goku and Piccolo walked in the room and addressed Usagi.
"If you want to train with us, we'll have to see what you can do first. Plus
get you familiar with the equipment here," Piccolo said in his ever-gruff voice.
Taiki looked up shocked, "You're going to train, Usagi-san?"
"Yep. I have to know how to defend myself if I'm going to stay here." She
stated, matter-of-factly.
Seiya jumped from his chair, "Nani?! Kakyuu-hime offered to take you in on
Kinmoku. Don't you want to live there?"
Usagi sighed. She'd like to, really. But she wanted to start over, with new
people. No offense to the guys. "Seiya..."
Seiya's expression turned from eager to hurt. He covered it up quickly and
hugged Usagi. "When you train, don't get hurt, Odango."
Usagi smiled, glad that he understood, "I won't, Seiya." Then she followed
Piccolo and Goku out of the room.
Taiki turned to Seiya and Yaten, "She sure has changed, hasn't she?"
Yaten nodded and Seiya stayed silent. 'Odango. You have no idea how much you
mean to me. I'll protect you with my last breath.'
****************
Piccolo reached the gravity room first. The red light was on, signaling that
the gravity was on. He looked at the monitor on the door. 'Kuso. 425x. Vejita left
the room on again.'
"The gravity room's been left on by an irresponsible, egotistical, belligerent,
psychotic short guy with black spiky hair. I have to go in and it turn it off because
it'll be too much for you Usagi-san." Piccolo said. He opened the door and went in.
Usagi turned to Goku who was standing beside her. "Piccolo-san doesn't like
Vejita-san, does he?"
Goku laughed nervously, "Uh... not really. No. I should go in, you stay here."
"Hey! What is it with you people and bossing me around! Come back here!" She
yelled, running after Goku into the room.
Usagi stepped into the gray room. It was empty, save for a few weights in the
corner of the room. It felt a little heavy, 'Piccolo must've just turned off the
gravity.'
She walked up to Goku and Piccolo, who was punching buttons on the computer.
"Hey! What was with the big idea of leaving me out there, Goku-san!"
Piccolo stopped punching keys and looked up shocked, his eyes were wide. Goku
had his mouth hanging open, he glanced from the computer to Usagi and back again.
"How-? You-? Masaka!!" Goku stammered.
"The machine's still on 425x normal gravity." Piccolo said, shocked out of his
wits.
"Is that bad?" Usagi asked hesitantly.
Goku smiled and a look of admiration came across his face, "Of course not! That's
absolutely amazing! Have you been in a gravity machine before?"
"Well, when I fought the dark moon family at the age of 14, I went through some heavy
gravity, but I don't know how much it was. I guess my body got used to it." She
shrugged, satisfied with her answer.
Usagi looked down at the bandages that were wrapped around her leg. It felt
alright, and didn't hurt to walk on it. Without hesitation, she bent down and began
to unravel the bandages.
Goku noticed, and was about to stop her, when Piccolo placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I want to see how her cuts are." he said mysteriously.
Goku just nodded.
Usagi removed the last piece and examined her leg. It was completely healed, like
her cuts and bruises were never there. She grinned as comprehension dawned on her. If
this was healed, then the cut on her side would be gone too! She lifted up her shirt
eagerly, and then put it down quickly, blushing furiously. 'I forgot that they were here.'
"Could you just turn around for a sec?" She asked, still red as a beet.
The two men nodded and turned. Usagi quickly unwrapped the bandages and examined
her side. The gash was gone too, as if it was never there! She smiled. She looked to
Piccolo and Goku, who were still turned around.
"It's ok now." She said.
Piccolo smirked, "You're completely healed now, aren't you?"
Usagi frowned, 'How did he know?' Then aloud, "Hai, how did you know that?"
"You have a very special ki. I don't know how to explain it, but your ki allows
you to heal at a rate faster than normal humans. I've noticed that your power level has
been steadily rising since you woke up." 'I also sense that you have a natural fighting
ability, we just have to bring it out.'
Usagi's eyes shifted around the room.
Suddenly, Piccolo lunged for Usagi. She looked up, a panicked look on her face.
Usagi began to scream and streaks of yellow light began to form around her.
Piccolo threw a ki blast at her. And suddenly she wasn't there. Piccolo spotted
Goku cradling Usagi in his arms. The yellow light that had formed around her was now
fading. Usagi then passed out.
Goku looked up and glared, "Why'd you do that? You could've hurt her. She's not
ready for ki blasts."
Piccolo glared back, "Don't you sense it?" Goku's confused look prodded him to
explain more. "Her power level shot up when I came at her. Didn't you see that yellow
light wrap around her?"
Goku looked down at her face, "I did see it, and felt it too. I guess I've
become protective of someone I've just met. You know, like a daughter."
"Well, it had better not interfere with her training. From what's happened, if
she can't transform into her fighting alias, she better learn self-defense now."
Goku smiled, "Yeah, I get ya." He walked out of the room, "When she wakes up,
we'll try again."
Piccolo sighed and walked out of the room.
Minutes later Bulma walked by the gravity room and noticed that it was still on.
"Hey! Which irresponsible, egotistical, belligerent, psychotic short guy with
black spiky hair left the gravity room on again?!"
And somewhere in the house... "Don't bark at me Woman!"
Both parties fumed at the other.
*******************
Tomoko sat on a chair in her ambiguous secret hideout. With a cry of frustration
she threw a ki blast at a window, the shattering glass shooting in all directions.
"Damn that little princess! I've waited a thousand years to get my revenge, and
when it's finally within my grasp... Freak cross dressers ruin it all! Damn them all to
hell and make them wear polka-dotted underwear for the rest of their unnatural lives!"
She got up from her chair and paced around the dark room. "I have to end the
Royal blood line of the Lunarians. That is my goal. But now that I have my treasures,
compliments to Galaxia for constructing a device to take them, I will kill the
Lunarian Princess! And those freak cross dressers!!! Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!"
