Chapter 11
*As we approach the dining room, we hear Goku actually arguing with Chi-chi. I turn toward Vegeta and hold my finger to his lip's to keep him from speaking, and look at the closed dining room door. Listening to the fight going on in the other room.*
"Chi-chi you had no right calling Gome evil!"
"But she is evil Goku. She has killed people. She even admits it. How can you stand there and say she's not! She's even friend's with some one like Sesshoumaru. You heard her when she told us how he was, he's even worse than Vegeta is! They're all evil monster's! I won't allow you or Gohan to have anything to do with any of them!"
"You won't allow... YOU WON'T ALLOW ME! You can't stop me. I will continue being her friend, no matter what you say Chi-chi. And I'll become friend's with Vegeta and Sesshoumaru if I want to. You're my wife Chi-chi not my mother! And Gome is right about one thing, if she's evil in your eye's then how do you really see me? I've killed living being's too. Does that make me evil?"
"Of course your not evil Goku. You only killed to save other people."
"So did Gome. So how is she evil and I'm not? We're both guilty of the same thing, of killing to protect other's."
"Even so you heard her say that Sesshoumaru is like a brother to her, and she want's to be friend's with Vegeta and they are both killer's. She's no better than they are!"
"I also heard her say that Sesshoumaru has changed for the better Chi-chi. He's no longer the same man that he once was."
"I guess next you'll be saying that Vegeta is a boy scout!"
"No he's far from a boy scout, but Gome is right about him. He's not evil! He may have done some evil thing's in the past, but he didn't have any choice. The only choice he had was kill or be killed! He's far from evil. Gome sense's good in him and so do I."
"You see good in everybody Goku! Vegeta is a heartless evil monster. He would never want to be friend's with any one! He doesn't know the meaning of the word friends."
*I have heard enough out of her. I let go of Vegeta's arm and walk to the door and slam it open. Goku and Chi-chi jump up and stare at me. I stand there glaring at Chi-chi, as I gathered my thought's.*
"He may not know the meaning of the word friend, but only because no one ever taught it to him. He is willing to learn Chi-chi. You are cruel, heartless, and unforgiving! To your way of thinking any one who has ever killed is evil! Do you see Goku and the rest of the Z-senshie as evil? They have all killed! So are they evil in your eye's?"
"No! They only kill to protect! Not because they enjoy it!"
"Let me tell you something that I have learnt in the last five year's Chi-chi, no one with a heart enjoys killing! The only one's who enjoy it are evil! Sesshoumaru never enjoyed it, he did it to protect his land's and the people who lived on them! He did it to keep himself stronger than other's, so he could protect what was his! True he would kill any one who threatened his place. Vegeta did it because that was his only choice. To kill or be killed, he didn't enjoy it, he did it to survive. The same thing any of us would have done in his place. So how dare you stand there and pass judgment on anyone! You don't know what either of them have gone thru, you don't know what I've gone thru! Your being closed minded Chi-chi, and cruel. I always looked up to you when I was younger Chi-chi, you seemed so warm and caring back then. That's how I remember you. What happened to you in the last seven year's that has made you so cruel and unforgiving?"
"I grew up! I no longer live in a world of fantasy, or in a world where everything will be okay just because you want it too! If that make's me cruel and unforgiving then so be it. I won't apologize for how I feel."
"No one's asking you to apologize Chi-chi. I just wish that you would put yourself in our shoe's, and try to see it from our side. Vegeta, Sesshoumaru, Goku, the Z-senshie, and me are not evil."
"Goku and the Z-senshie aren't evil! I don't know about you yet, but the other two are!"
"Onna if I was as evil as you think, I would have killed you to keep from listening to you."
"Vegeta when did you get here?" Goku ask's nervously.
"I came down with Kag a few minute's a go."
"Since when do you call someone by there name Vegeta?" Bulma ask's as she walk's threw the door way with Gohan behind her.
"Since I figured out that she won't shut up until I do. I have found out one thing about your cousin onna, she's more stubborn than I am!"
"Yep you have that right Vegeta! Gome is one of the most stubborn people that I've ever had to deal with. But she make's up for it most of the time, she's also sweet, kind hearted, and the most forgiving person that I've ever met." Bulma say's.
"All right B-chan, is dinner ready yet? I don't know about everyone else but I'm starving, and I guess that Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan are too."
"It's all most done. We'll be ready to eat in a few minute's. Will you and Chi-chi come and help me bring it out of the kitchen?" she ask's.
"I'm willing, what about you Chi-chi?"
"Yeah, let's get this done with. Come on."
* I turn around and give Goku a thumb's up, and give Vegeta an impish grin before I walk out of the door behind the others. The three of us go to the kitchen and start carrying thing's to the dining room. It only take's twenty minute's to bring everything out.
Once everything is on the table Bulma goes and get's the guy's so we can eat. The three of them came in and set down. The meal is ate in almost complete silence. The only one's talking are Bulma, Gohan, and Chi-chi. Vegeta, Goku, and myself ate without saying anything. I guess that Goku is still upset with Chi-chi, and from the way everyone is acting I guess that it's normal for Vegeta to not talk during a meal, and I don't want to say anything to start another argument.
Once everyone is done eating I stand up and start clearing the dishes from the table, Bulma and Chi-chi start picking up the dishes as well. We pack them into the kitchen and start loading up the dishwasher's, there is three in the kitchen. I guess Aunt Bunny had to get them after Vegeta moved in, either that or she would have spent all of her time washing the dishes. After all the dishes are in the dishwasher's. We head to the living room, because that's where the guy's went after dinner.
We walk into the living room to find Gohan laying in the floor on pillows, Goku sprawled out on the couch, and Vegeta sitting stiffly on the love seat. Chi-chi goes and set's down by Goku, Bulma quickly set's in the empty recliner, and that leave's me either sitting in the floor or beside Vegeta. I guess I'll choose the comfortable seat and sit beside Vegeta. I sit down next to him and instantly wish that either the love seat was bigger or that Vegeta was smaller. We're tightly pressed together in the seat. I feel Vegeta stiffen up after I sit down. I grin at him and reach and pat his hand that he has laying on his knee.*
"I don't bite Veggie. I promise." I say quietly.
"Who knows Kag, I might like it if you did, then you might like it as well" He say's so quietly that I'm the only one who hear's it. I turn toward him with my cheek's as red as tomato's and glare at him for his remark. And he grin's at me and squeezes my hand that is was laying on his.
"So what are we watching guy's?" Bulma ask's.
"What about that new movie that you just bought Bulma?" Chi-chi ask's.
"Sure, I've not had a chance to see it yet either. So does everyone agree to watch 'The Pirate's of the Caribbean.'?" She ask's.
"It's a really good movie. I'd love to see it again! Johnny Depp is hot as Jack Sparrow in this movie B-chan. You'll love it!"
"You've seen it Gome? When did you see it?" Bulma ask's.
"When it came out in the theatre's in Tokyo. But that was almost a year ago. They say that the DVD has the deleted scenes and even a blooper reel. I hope that you got the DVD B-chan!"
"Yes I got the DVD Gome, but since none of the rest of us have seen it , we'll watch the movie first okay?" She ask's.
"Fine with me B-chan, let's get this movie started!"
Bulma get's up and pop's the DVD into the player and turn's off the light's. She goes through the start menu and hit's play, during the movie I snuggle closer to Vegeta which was uncomfortable at first because he was so stiff, but after he got interested in the movie he relaxed. I realized something, Vegeta for all of his muscle's make's a very good pillow when he relaxes them. At the end of the movie Bulma get's up and turn's on one of the lamp's. I see that Goku and Gohan are both asleep. Chi-chi is sitting there like she's bored, Bulma look's like she's enjoyed the movie, and Vegeta look's like he's mad at the way it ended.
"So what did you all think?"
"It was boring!" Chi-chi say's.
"It was good Gome! You were right about Johnny Depp being hot as Jack Sparrow! I think that it's one of the best movie's that I've ever seen him in. What did you think Vegeta?" Bulma ask's.
"The fight scene's could have been better, but I guess for human's, it wasn't too bad." he say's.
"I think that he like's it B-chan, he just doesn't want to admit it. How come Yamcha isn't here tonight B-chan? I figured that he would have come to a group get together, even a small one."
"When I called him he said that he had to work tonight." she say's.
"I thought that he played baseball B-chan? Surely they wouldn't be playing after dark and out of season too."
"He said that it was some kind of picture shoot for the baseball cards. He did say that he would stop by tomorrow for a little while. So Chi-chi are going to stay here tonight or are you going to go home? We have plenty of guest room's so it wouldn't be any trouble for you to stay the night." Bulma say's.
"Well of you're sure we wouldn't be any trouble, I'd rather stay here than try to make them fly home as sleepy and tired as they are. So we'll stay the night. I'll wake up Goku, and he can carry Gohan up to bed."
*I look around the living room and see soda can's sitting all over the living room.*
"Since you're going to be showing them where they are going to sleep tonight B-chan I'll stay and pick up the living room up before I go up to bed. Okay?"
"Thanks Gome. I'm too tired to come back down to clean up and I really didn't want to get up to this mess in the morning. I'll see you in the morning, night Gome, good night Vegeta." Bulma say's as she lead's the Sons up the stair's.
* I grin as I watch them go upstairs'. I get up from the love seat and go to the kitchen to get a trash bag to pick up the garbage and head back to the living room. I get back to see Vegeta already picking up the trash, I walk over to him and hold out the trash bag for him to put it in. It doesn't take too long with the two of us picking up the trash. We take the trash bag out to the trash can sitting outside and throw it in. I turn to Vegeta and smile at him.*
"Thanks Veggie for helping me pick up the living room." I step up to him and give him a hug, and before I step away from him I give him a quick kiss on the cheek. I turn and start to head back into the house, when I hear him say.*
"You're welcome Kag... Night femina."
"What does femina mean?"
"It mean's female warrior in my native tongue, that's what you are, a female warrior. You stand up for what you believe in, even to your friend's.."
"Thanks Veggie, and I like the sound of femina much better than onna. At least it doesn't sound as degrading. Nite Veggie, I'll see you at breakfast."
*I head up stair's with a smile on my face. I knew I was right about him! He is already showing me a different side than any one else has got to see before. Who knows, he may learn that emotions are strength instead of a weakness. Because if they were a weakness than Goku would have never reached SuperSaiyan. Oh well I guess I should get into bed. Trunks will be here bright and early in the morning for training.*
That's all for this chapter. Thanks for reading this and letting me know what you think.
I would like to comment to one of the reviewer's from the last chapter. If you don't like crossover's then don't read them. It say's right in the summary that it's a DBZ and Inuyasha cross over. I'm sorry if you didn't like it, but I refuse to change it.
Thank's to everybody else who has stuck with this story, and thanks for all of the review's.
Thanks,
