Chapter 8 – Just a Normal Family.
Disclaimer: I do not own Db, Dbz, or Dbgt, But I do own Sei ;).
Warning: Probably crude language :D
Ps. There will be a lot of time jumps in this chapter, eg. One hour later, later on, the next day etc.
A rush of excitement and relief coursed through my body as I stood breathing into the chest of the one man I have been longing to meet for so long. Buu was finally a reality, not just a voice in my head. Being united with Buu was a lot easier than I expected, but the hard part is still to come.
"Sei what the hell are you doing?! You're going to get yourself killed!" I heard Vegeta yell. I sighed lightly and looked into the dark red colour of his iris.
"Buu... I need to take care of this," I whispered. He nodded and parted with him. I saw him sit down on the floor as I turned around and began to walk towards the gang. They were all still in their fighting stances.
"Please just fucking relax okay?!" I yelled. Goku and Vegeta were startled at first, but stood up straight in a couple of seconds.
"Listen Sei. I know you may think Buu has changed. But he hasn't. He still is evil," said Goku lightly.
"Oh and how would you know that?" I asked cheekily.
"I can feel it,"
"And I can feel a burp coming up, but that doesn't mean it will does it?" I asked trying to explain this as best as I could. Im not sure it was working though…
"What did you drink then?"
I hit my self in the forehead. The stupidity of Goku sometimes is just appalling. I sighed and walked over to Vegeta so we were just centimetres away from each other.
"Please Vegeta. Give him a chance,"
"Nuh uh! No way! No can do!" He said. He sounded a bit like a child.
"Please dad..." I whispered. His eyes widened.
"You called me... Dad... Of course. I'm your new dad now..." He said looking down at the floor.
"Yeah so please. Believe me when I say that he is good,"
"I won't let him off that easily. He has destroyed the worlds before and I'm sure will threaten to again,"
"But just because you're sure he's bad, doesn't mean that he is. Just give him a chance!"
"I can't Sei. I don't trust him. I don't want you to get hurt," he said suddenly pulling me into a hug. It took me no more than a second to hug back. I heard a few wows beside me, so I couldn't help but smile. So I'm guessing Vegeta wasn't exactly a soft person huh?
"I need to protect you. You are my new daughter now. And if I give him a chance, he may as well go ahead and blow up the earth, and you along with it. He wants to take you back to hell with him. I can't let him do that. Not even if I die,"
I parted away from him after hearing those words. I forgot all about the care and just focused on the negative view. I frowned and clenched my fists.
"Well if you really want to protect me, then I suggest giving Buu a chance." I growled. Suddenly Buu appeared right beside me. I jumped but settled down in a few seconds.
"Listen Vegeta. I know you are concerned. And believe me, I know being soft and shit like this is extremely new for you. If you want Vegeta, I can stay here on earth with her so she doesn't have to go to hell,"
"What the fuck happened to you?!" Yelled Vegeta, "How have you turned so soft?! Is his some sort of plan to kill me and Kakarot?! If so we are not falling for it!"
"Vegeta I have significantly forgotten about destroying the earth. I have of course thought about getting revenge on you and Goku once or twice, but I gave up, knowing there was no point. I only wish to make peace."
"That's bullshit Buu. You're lying,"
"Dad please!" I yelled while listening to his words.
"Sei I know you are now my new daughter, but even you can't make me change my mind about him,"
"Fine. Then I'm going with him," I growled grabbing onto Buus arm. Vegeta straight away looked hurt.
"You can't..." He whispered.
"Watch me," I said back ignorantly. There was an awkward silence for a few minutes.
"Alright fine! I'll give him a chance..." He said, and then gave an expression which clearly showed that he regretted saying it, but he had no choice.
"Really?" Asked Buu.
"Yes. But one wrong move, and you're toast. Got it pig?"
Buu nodded slightly and then turned to me smiling. I jumped up and down for a moment in excitement and then turned to Vegeta. I ran to him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you so much dad!"
"Alright alright Sei,"
"Can he live with us?"
"WHAT?! Do you know what Goten and trunks are going to do if he lives with us?"
"Please daddy?" I asked giving one of the failed puppy dog faces.
"Fine..." He growled looking down at the floor.
"Woohoo!" I yelled skipping over to Buu.
Behind me I heard Goku say "What's up with Seis such random change of moods. It's weird,"
"Vegeta are you sure it is a good decision to let Buu stay here, never mind love with you?" asked Piccolo.
"Believe me Namek, I don't want to be anywhere near that thing, but I'm doing it for Sei. And since I let him live with us, I can actually keep an eye on him more. Around me, he can't hurt anybody,"
"You're still just a super saiyan two you know," said Goku.
"Fuck of!"
"Oi Goku! It's not weird!" I yelled blowing a raspberry after listening to what Vegeta and Piccolo just said. Maybe it was best that I kept a good eye on Buu as well. He has been saying into my head to kill people the last few weeks, so I should be careful.
One hour later...
Me, Vegeta and Buu stood at the front door of the capsule corporation house, not sure what to expect when we step inside.
"Now listen Buu. Be discreet and ignore any reactions from people inside the house. And as much as I hate to admit this, I expect big changes from you. And Sei, do you had any idea where we can put Buu? We have no more spare bedrooms,"
"Really? But the house is massive!"
"It just seemed like it is,"
"Oh. Well then he can stay with me in my bedroom,"
"Oh no! I don't think so!"
"Come on! What could happen!"
"I don't want you going away and getting fucking pregnant!"
"WHAT?! Sex?! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!"
"Fine he can stay. But just know, I'll be watching you two."
I did a small victory dance.
"Fuck yeah..." I whispered.
"Well here we go..." Sighed Vegeta as he slowly began to turn the door knob. He slowly pushed the door, to reveal the sweet smell of what seemed like curry. Then there was one sound which we were expecting to hear. A scream.
We turned to the source of the scream and Bulma was standing at the kitchen door looking quite blue. Oh cute, her skin matches her hair now.
"Why is Majin Buu here!? Or is that just Buu playing a little trick?!"
"Bulma don't worry. Yes, this is Majin Buu, the evil one. But Buu here is a... Guest..." Said Vegeta emphasising the word guest.
"A-a-are you sure?" She stuttered. Vegeta nodded and stepped into house. Me and Buu followed closely by.
"Now where's Goten and Trunks?" Asked Vegeta.
"They're away to Gokus for the night," replied Bulma finally stepping out of the kitchen.
"I see..." I whispered.
"So you're not here to kill us all?" Asked Bulma stepping closer to Buu.
"Nope. Just here for Sei,"
"Uh huh... So you're here for a while then?"
"I guess so,"
"But where are you gonna stay?"
"Oh he's staying with me!" I quickly interrupted.
"Ya sure that's a good idea?" Bulma said sarcastically. She suddenly seemed to be more relaxed around Buu.
"Yeah sure. Why not," I shrugged.
"I don't want little mini Buus running about the place now,"
"What?! Mom!" I laughed blushing.
"Well you'll never know. All it takes is one little go and then boom. You're pregnant,"
"CAN WE PLEASE NOT DISCUSS THIS INFRONT OF MEN. IT IS EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING." Is said in the sharpest voice I could manage while keeping my teeth clenched. Bulma giggled.
"Alright, come on. Let's get you settled in again. Wait weren't you supposed to stay at the lookout for quite a while?"
"Yeah… Well turns out I'm back early," I laughed.
"Great! Now come on! Dinner's almost ready,"
"Need any help?" asked Buu.
"Oh no I'm alright. Men don't really cook in this house. And I have my mother and Sei to help. But since you are pretty good with dessert and stuff, can you help me choose something delicious to make?"
"Of course. No problem,"
"Thank you very much! Oh finally! We can just be a normal family!"
"Normal?" I asked sarcastically.
Later at the dinner table…
I sat silently at the table eating my chicken curry. I am proud I managed to guess what the smell was. Vegeta and Dr Briefs were deep in a conversation. I was looking at Buu from the corner of my eye. I also notice Vegeta was eyeing him from time to time. Then Vegeta and Dr Briefs quieted down and nobody was talking and it was starting to get extremely awkward. So I decided to break the silence and tension.
"So Bulma, has anything interesting happened over the past… em… well over the time I've been gone?"
"Oh well not really. I told Videl you couldn't go shopping with her so she asked if you can go next Saturday. Marron came to visit you but you weren't really here, so she said she'll visit you as soon as you come back. But the good thing is, Trunks and Goten have cleaned every single corner of the house spotless,"
I giggled at her answer. Goten and Trunks… I wonder what they're doing right now… And then the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Bulma said beginning to stand up. I quickly stood up before she could.
"Don't worry. Continue eating. I'll get it,"
"Oh well okay then," she said smiling. I smiled back and walked out of the kitchen. I turned right to go down the big hallway and reached the door. I opened it and outside stood someone unexpected. Trunks.
"Oh Trunks! I thought you were at Gotens?" I said looking a bit surprised.
"What the fuck are you doing back here?!" he yelled before he pushed me out of the way and ran into the house. He didn't make any eye contact. All he did was look at the floor. But he stopped as soon as he walked into the hallway.
"I hear Majin Buu was here. Why the hell did you bring him here?! He was dead!"
"Deal with it lavender!" I frowned while closing the front door.
"Lavender?"
"Yeah that's your nickname,"
"Well that's new. But you still didn't answer my question. Why did you bring him here?"
"Fuck you that's why," I grinned before walking down the hallway and into the kitchen.
"Who was that?" asked Bulma looking up from her meal. I sat down at the table again and giggled.
"It was just Lavender,"
"Who's lavender?" she asked.
"Think hair related,"
"Oh Trunks!" she laughed, "Should he not be at Gokus?"
"Yeah I said that too. He just ignored it,"
"Well where is he?" asked Vegeta interrupting.
"I don't know. Probably upstairs," I said while stuffing another fork of curry into my mouth.
We finished our meal and Buu ended up washing the dishes. I went upstairs to freshen up since we planned on watching a movie with the whole family in the living room. I walked past Trunks' room which was completely silent. I walked into my room and gasped. Trunks was lying down on my bed with his hands behind his head and he was whistling a tune.
"What the hell are you doing in here?!" I loudly whispered closing the door behind me.
"I want to talk to you," he said sitting up. I slowly walked over to the bead and sat down beside him. I felt a bit pissed off at his sudden barge into the house.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked looking into his blue eyes.
"Me and Goten want to confess something. We really like you. And I mean really like you," he said looking up at me. I was silent at his comment, and at the same time, I actually felt happy. I like Goten and Trunks when they weren't such assholes and, well… Rapists.
"We… we can't stop thinking about you. I don't know about Goten, but for me, it was painful when you left to go to the lookout, even if it was for a short amount of time. I liked you as soon as I saw you come to school,"
"Can I just ask something?" I asked shifting closer to him,"
"Go ahead,"
"Why did you kiss me? Why did you kiss me before you started to beat the shit out of me?"
"I- I don't know. I felt hypnotized by your eyes. I couldn't help myself," he said moving a bit closer to me.
"I must forget…" I whispered to myself.
"Oh come on. Keep your memories. And isn't the first kiss meant to be a much treasured and important event for girls?"
"How do you know it was my first kiss?"
"Rough guess,"
"Yeah well you forced me into it!"
Then suddenly he grabbed my chin and pushed his lips against mine.
"N-no Trunks s-stop!" I tried to say, but it came out more like a muffle. I started to struggle beside him, I didn't try to pull away though because for some reason it felt good. It felt right. I stopped struggling and suddenly pulled him closer. I moaned slightly as he began to stick his tongue into my mouth. I felt him giggled. We started to French kiss as we sat facing each other on the bed. He pulled away and looked at me with a grin.
"Trunks…" I moaned quietly. I pushed him down onto the bed and got on top of him.
"Oh no you don't," he said and pushed me the side making up switch places.
"I'm the male and I'm in charge, so I'm on top," he once again grinned. I gulped but grabbed him by his hair and pushed him down back into a French kiss. I brushed my fingers through his hair while he traced his hand up the side of my body. I started to gradually begin to moan, louder and louder. He pulled away and licked his lips.
"You're really getting into this aren't you?"
I giggled and then remembered something.
"Maybe we should do this another time. A time when there is no one in the house. Because right now, we are very vulnerable on someone walking in,"
He rolled his eyes, groaned and got off of me.
"Fine…"
I laughed a bit and pecked him on the cheek. I stood up, took his hand and brought him up.
"Let's go. We are watching a movie in the living room and I want us to watch it as a full family. And please, Buu is watching it with us, so can you please be nice to him. Smile at him and talk to him as if he was never a villain,"
Trunks scoffed.
"Why should I?"
"Do it for me. Please?" I asked before kissing him harshly on the lips and pulling away straight after. He gave me one of those 'I hate you but I love you' looks and smiled.
"Fine. But only for you,"
"Thanks…" I said hugging him, "Now act like nothing happened,"
I walked over to the bathroom and closed the door behind me.
I turned on the tap and splashed my face with freezing cold water. I stared at my blank expression in the mirror. I wonder how Buu will react to me and Trunks being together…
I grabbed a towel and harshly dried my face with it. I chucked it to the other end of the room and jumped out the room. I was feeling considerably energetic. Trunks was still sitting on the bed.
"You should get out of here. If Buu comes in you're fucked,"
"I know, I know," he sighed, standing up. I shooed him away and he closed the door behind him. I suddenly ran over to the bed and just plainly collapsed. I sighed and slammed my face into the pillow. I groaned as deeply as I could manage, which for me, was quite damn deep. I sighed into the soft material of the pillow case and pulled my self up. I stood up and dragged my self to the door. All this mumbo jumbo crap that has happened over the past few days has left me tired and sore. Even though the cuts that used to be on my body had turned into scars, they still sort of stung from time to time. And counting the amount of cuts I have, it more or less means that a new once stings every 2 minutes.
I stumbled out of the room and walked down stairs. The first thing I heard was laughing.
"Oh Trunks! Thank god you and Sei made up! At least you can get out of cleaning the house. I'm not sure if your father is going to be kind enough to let you out of training though,"
"Oh it's alright mother. And anyway, it helps me boost my power level,"
"Damn right it does brat!" (Guess who).
"Hey Buu! Stop it!" I heard Trunks yell.
I walked into the kitchen to find my mother laughing, Vegeta grinning and Buu was wrecking Trunks' hair. I joined into the laughter.
"Come on Buu! I spent hours on my hair this morning!"
"Oh really? I just thought you woke up from sleeping and just decided to go with what your hair looked like," I laughed.
"Oh shut it you dumb broad," he chuckled.
"Oh no you di-in't!" I laughed.
"Oh yes I did!" he said in one of those really cheesy fucked up voices.
I walked over to him and slightly slapped his arm while saying, "You're mean,"
"Come on kids, it's time for the movie," said Bulma while walking into the living room.
"Hey! We're not kids!" me and Trunks screamed at the same time.
"Oh well sorry if I didn't notice,"
I growled playfully and followed her.
"So what movie are we watching?"
"Well me and Vegeta decided on a movie nobody would have possibly seen yet. So we picked Iron Man 3,"
"But how did you get it? It's not even out in cinemas yet!" I said sounding a bit more appalled than I probably should have.
"Well how we got it is classified information, but lets just say, being someone who is pretty damn good with electronics pays off,"
"I see…" I said quietly.
Everyone seated themselves on the couch and sofas. Bulma pressed some buttons and the big TV in the room flashed on.
"Oh don't start the movie yet!" yelled a voice from the kitchen, "Don't think you can watch a movie without snacks and drinks!"
We looked to the direction of the kitchen door and Mrs Briefs walked in carrying two massive trays with her. They were covered in the most spectacular of treats. Buns, cakes, biscuits and drinks of all sorts.
"Oh mother you've out done yourself again!" laughed Bulma.
After the movie…
"Wow! That movie was awesome! I did not expect any of that whatsoever," I smiled.
"Well for someone who hasn't even seen iron man one or two, I found it not too bad," laughed Buu.
"Oh I have to show you the first two," I squealed.
"Alright kids, I think its time we all hit the bay. It's been a somewhat long day, and even though it is just about 9 o'clock, its autumn and its dark, so we should all probably go to sleep early tonight just to get settled in together," smiled Bulma as she carried the two empty trays that used to be filled with food into the kitchen.
"So it's time to go nap nap huh?"I said blankly to Buu as I took his hand and began to drag him out of the room.
"Are you feeling okay?" he asked sounding a bit concerned.
"Yeah, why?"
"Well it's just that it's not everyday that someone uses the phrase 'nap nap',"
"Oh fuck off," I groaned. I hear him chuckled as I began to drag him up the stairs.
When we got to my room, I went into the bathroom and got changed into my orange pyjamas. I lay down onto the bed as Buu just sat at the end.
"Ya comin'?" I asked. I heard him as he stood up. He walked over to the lights and switched them off.
"Fine,"
He chucked off his shoes , walked over to the bed and got under the covers of the bed. I took the covers and slid under them as well.
"I just think that this is going to be a bit weird for you,"
"Oh don't worry about me, I'll be fine,"
Buus' POV
"Oh don't worry about me, I'll be fine," she laughed. Her laugh... The sweet sound of it just makes me shiver.
She turned around in her spot and put her back to me. I heard her sigh as she seemed to drift away into her own little world. I turned my self around and faced the window of her room. I stared out at the night sky.
"Good night…" she whispered.
"Sweet dreams," I whispered back,"
I closed my eyes and thought deeply. There are so many questions that I crave the answer to. Like why did Vegetas family become so comfortable with me already? Vegeta didn't really seem to care too much for me, and Bulma and Trunks were acting okay with me. It just all felt so weird. Is this what it felt like to be a part of a family? To be liked, or at least, respected. Maybe being a villain was a bad choice for me. Maybe I shouldn't get Cell and Frieza out of hell. They just don't listen. They won't understand what its like to be good. They'll do their usual 'I'm evil' speech and threaten to kill Vegeta and Goku. Now I know why Vegeta decided to be a good guy. It feels a lot better to not be evil. It feels better to have a warm heart that cares for someone. And to have that someone who cares for you. When you're evil, there's that pain inside you, that you don't really feel, but when you're good, you know how the pain feels when you're evil. It feels cold – You're all alone. Distant – Not a single soul cares for you. Scary – No one is there to have your back, to be your friend, and to care for what happens to you. Being a good person Is better, and even though I spent all those years in hell thinking that when I'm evil, I feel like I'm free, but I'm really not. When I'm evil, I feel pain. Nothing but pain…
Seis' POV
I groaned as the aroma of pancakes filled my nose. It was the first time I had slept in this house, and it felt pretty damn good. I sat up in my bed and noticed that Buu wasn't there anymore. I stretched as far as I could, making those usual alien noises. I flopped back down to the pillow but straight away pulled myself up. I looked at the small alarm clock that was conveniently placed on the counter beside my bed. 07:14. Great!
I sighed and dragged my limp and still asleep body out of bed. My hair felt crazy, my pyjamas felt crooked and my skin felt damp. I wobbled to the bathroom, grabbing random clothes from my wardrobe on the way. I got to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I tried my best to contain my laughter at what I saw. My hair seemed like it was in a lob-sided Mohawk, my pyjamas looked like I hadn't taken them off for years, and I was covered in sweat. Did I have sex in my sleep or something because I'm sure I never woke up looking like that?
I felt a bit dirty, so I took small shower, got dressed and applied some make up to make myself look at least a small bit tolerable. I walked down stairs and into the kitchen with my still dripping wet hair. Bulma was standing beside the stove making pancakes, while Vegeta, Mr Briefs and Mrs Briefs were sitting quietly at the kitchen table. Buu and Trunks were deep in a conversation about video games or some shit. I was way too tired to care at the moment. I sat down in one of the spare seats at the table.
"Did ya sleep well love?" asked Bulma sweetly.
"Yeah, pretty well I guess," I groaned.
"Oh well you can sleep all day. Me and Vegeta are going away to a capsule crop meeting, and Trunks has to go to school. You can stay behind. You don't have to go if you don't want to just yet,"
"Oh… Well it's alright, I can go. I have nothing else to do anyway,"
"Hey Sei, we can walk if you want," I heard Trunks yell over to me. I groaned quietly but nodded instantly.
"Oh and Buu, what are you gonna do?" asked Bulma setting down the pancakes.
"I don't know. I guess I could help Dr Briefs with anything. Or I could go visit Goku," he shrugged, not seeming too interested.
"Sure go ahead. You're free to do as you please, just if you visit Goku, be careful around Chi Chi. She'll probably want to rip your head off since she doesn't know that you're good." She smiled. Buu cringed at the phrase 'rip you head off' and Vegeta cringed at the word 'good'.
