Author's Note: Hello everyone! Once again, I apologize for the wait. Classes have started again and I am having some major family issues. It's like my life is just a psychotic seesaw sometimes. Thank you all for reading and reviewing! Well, sit down, get cozy and enjoy the next chapter of I Believe In A Thing Called Love! ;-)
Chapter 29: Day 2 – Part 1 - Morning After
Tien opened his eyes and yawned. He rubbed his eyes as he stretched his limbs. He had a nice sleep. Well, that was an understatement. He couldn't remember the last time he slept so well. Tien didn't really care. He was just glad he had a good night's rest. Tien noticed that he was staring up at the ceiling and not the morning sky. 'Odd,' he thought as he rolled to his side only to see a mass of black hair. Then it all came back to him. The feel of her hips grinding against him, he sliding in and out of her, her muscles tightening as she was about to climax. Tien covered his face with his hand and was mumbling shit over and over. They hadn't used protection and they had went at it for most of the night. His body was slightly sore in the areas she had punched him when he tried to retreat from the room after the first time.
Tien carefully pulled himself out of the bed. He noticed his clothes were in shreds on the floor. He stared in disbelief at them. How the hell was he supposed to sneak out of the house with his dignity in tact now? Tien didn't notice Kione as she got up from the bed.
"You can leave now," she said waving him off.
"What?" he said.
"I'll have no further use of you. Your debt is paid. Now, go," Kione stated.
"How? You destroyed my clothes!" Tien exclaimed.
"That's not my problem," Kione said, "Not my problem that you wear such subpar clothes but it matches your ki level."
Tien flinched at her last statement. It had hurt his feelings and he didn't know why. It wasn't as if he cared about the woman. She was the one who forced herself on him. Tien opened his mouth to speak when Kione cut him off.
"I can't even begin to wonder why Launch would want anything with you," Kione said, "You're weak. You couldn't even fight off a woman nor were you brave enough and stand firm to tell me to fuck off when I said you belonged to me. Why would I want you hanging around in my room? All you are worth is a simple fuck and a sorry one at that." Kione left the shocked Tien and his severely wounded pride in the bedroom as she went to the shower.
"And don't let me catch you in my room when I get out the shower. Your very presence disgusts me," she said.
"Done!" Bulma exclaimed as she leaned back in her chair. She had spent all night in her lab working on her secret project. Vegeta had disappeared after Chi Chi and Goku went home mumbling about lies and women, Trunks had taken up his position to guard Asyla and Bulma had been left all alone. Well not entirely alone. She had tried to get some rest but she had heard Kione and Tien's little scuffle in the middle of the night. Yelps and sounds of pain had been quickly replaced with moans that made her extremely frustrated. So, she had decided to work on her latest idea.
What was that idea? It was a simple chip that would be embedded in the owner and the chip would triple the power level of the user. Bulma was tired of people calling her weak and comparing her to Chi Chi. Kione was the straw that broke the camel's back. Bulma had aspirations of getting stronger. She even attempted training with Vegeta. She hated it so much. She always ended up sore, bruised and her hair would be ruined for at least two days. Bulma decided to use her brains to fix her little problem.
"Now, let's see if this baby will work," Bulma said as she placed the chip into a gun. She shot it into her arm and hissed at the pain. The chip started working immediately. Bulma felt a surge of energy pulse through her body that had her trembling and gripping the chair. Bulma got up from her chair. It felt as if the chip was working but she had to test it out. She began to think back on the lessons that Vegeta had taught her about ki. She focused hard and was able to make an energy ball.
"YES! IT WORKS!" she exclaimed happily, "Science wins again!"
Bulma had created two extra chips that would specifically go to Chi Chi and Tien. Chi Chi and she needed this energy boost because they were sitting ducks every time an enemy attacked earth. She, herself, was tired of sitting around and not doing anything. Bulma wanted to join in and help protect her world as well. Chi Chi had the same opinion on the matter. Bulma, originally, planned to make only two chips. After recent developments, she believed that Tien needed one as well. Obviously Kione had her eyes set on him and anyone could tell that Tien was back into another Launch situation but more deadly. He couldn't be a coward about this and allow someone else to handle his problem. Even if he had stood up to the challenge, Kione would have merely kicked him into submission literally. It was not good for any man to be emasculated. Men seem to snap after enduring so long. To save his pride, Bulma had left fresh clothes outside the door just in case his clothes had been ripped anyway. She would have to have the awkward conversation with him about the chip before he fled. If she didn't catch him before he left, he would most likely be M.I.A for months to come.
Tien was quickly making his way down the steps. He had lowered his ki level so it was undetectable and he was hovering. Tien needed to get out. He needed to leave. He had to leave before that harpy changed her mind and wanted to have him as her love toy again. How did he always get himself into these situations? He was the nice guy. Why did he attract the crazy women? Out of all of them, Kione definitely took the cake. He had never expected that she wanted to use him to forget Radditz. Tien was really worried about getting nearly beaten the death than having sex forced upon him. It wasn't as if she was unattractive but something was terribly wrong with her mentally for wanting to do that. While he had dressed, he noticed that there was blood on him. It raised questions that he didn't want the answer to but already deep down that he knew them.
Tien made it to the kitchen. No one was in the kitchen and he let out a sigh of relief before letting his feet touch the ground. He was reaching for the door when a familiar voice caused cold shivers to go up his spine.
"Running out like a whipped dog are we?" Vegeta asked smugly as he was eating an apple. Tien turned to look back at Vegeta. He was blushing brightly and shame was written all over his face. Vegeta scoffed at his appearance. He should be ashamed. He allowed a female to overpower him. It was pathetic. He didn't need to check his neck to know that Kione didn't mark him. She wouldn't want to be mated to a male that was weaker than him.
"Well, er, you see…." Tien started.
"Save your breath weakling. Everyone in the house knows what happened," Vegeta stated, "Really pathetic. All you had to do was say no and she would've left you alone. You deserve what you got. Unfortunately, I can't allow you to crawl out of here with your tail between your legs. Bulma wants to speak with you. So sit down and wait. If I find you trying to fly off, I'll beat your ass to a pulp and still drag you back here."
Vegeta walked past Tien to get outside when he caught a whiff of him that made him stop in his tracks. His eyes widened as he tried to process the smell that he was getting from Tien. Vegeta inhaled and knew what he was thinking was to be true.
'Virgin? She was a virgin? Why would she..' Vegeta thought and said, "Where is Kione?"
"She is in her room taking a shower," Tien replied blandly.
Vegeta quickly turned leaving Tien in the kitchen. He had questions that needed to be answered quickly made it to her room and opened the door. The water in the shower was still running as he entered the bathroom. Kione was sitting on the floor of the shower. Her hair was covering her face as she silently sobbed. Vegeta wanted to yell at her, tell her how stupid she was being, how weak she was being but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He believed and knew that Saiyan women were strong and that they were quite skilled at hiding their emotions. However, some things got to them. He had only seen two Saiyan women cry in his entire life. His mother when she found out that his father was replacing her and his sister who he barely recognized .
Vegeta turned off the shower and grabbed a towel. He wrapped it around his sister before picking her up and bringing her to her bed. Vegeta sat down next to him and ran his hand through his hair. He felt as if they had switched places. He was the eldest brother with his little sister seeking comfort in him.
"How could he do this to me, Vegeta?" she said softly, "He promised me."
"…..I don't know," Vegeta replied. He truly didn't know what to say. He had never been put in this type of situation before. Vegeta had no idea how to console Kione. If Radditz was alive, he probably would have killed him for breaking such a promise.
"I waited for him, for so long," Kione stated.
"Why did you do this?" Vegeta asked.
"Do what?" Kione replied.
"I know Kione." Vegeta simply said.
Kione took a deep breath and tried to control the tears that were ready to break free from her eyes. She exhaled slowly before saying, "I thought that doing it would help me forget. To get rid of my last reminder of him but it only made me feel worse. The fact that I did something like this with someone I didn't know…it's shameful…this is not how I saw this turning out." She said.
"Idiot," Vegeta mumbled. That was one of Kione's fatal flaw. She acted on her first thought more often than not. It was one of the major factors that caused her to be banished. Vegeta really thought she would have realized this weakness about herself.
"There is nothing I can say to you to make this right or make you feel any better. Hell, I have no idea what to say at all besides shit happens," Vegeta said.
Kione couldn't help but look up at her little brother and laugh. "You're really horrible at this."
"And you're really stupid," Vegeta said in a joking manner, "Like I said shit happens. Buck up or let it crush you. However, I am ordering you to stop sniveling like a little baby and move on. I can't have my image of my older sister tarnished because of a low classed bastard."
Kione kissed Vegeta on the side of the face and say, "Thanks."
"Women and these infernal "kisses". Just plain disgusting." Vegeta wiped the kiss off his face and groaned causing Kione to laugh again.
"I don't need this," Tien said pushing the gun away from him.
"You can fool yourself if you want Tien but you do. You've caught the eye of Vegeta's eldest sister. Even though she blew you off, she'll be back to torment you because she can and do you want to be helpless to stop it?" Bulma replied.
"You know a lot about this." Tien stated.
"I am married to the Prince of all Assholes. I know what I am talking about," Bulma replied as she pushed the gun back towards Tien, "Take the chip. The only reason why I am doing this is because you're a good person and I know you wouldn't do anything to harm Kione in revenge. I want to prevent you from getting hurt mentally and physically."
"It doesn't matter. I am not coming back here with her around." Tien said.
"She'll hunt you down. Trust me on this one. You seriously need to stick up for yourself because if you don't crazy women will continue to walk all over you," Bulma stated.
Tien reached for the gun but hesitated. He didn't like the idea of using technology to get an advantage on someone but he really didn't need a boost of energy. He needed a boost in self confidence in the relationship area. No matter what type of energy boost he got would help him with that. This was something that he had to deal with on his own.
"So my little chew toy is still here? What? You couldn't take a hint? I don't want to see you around me again," Kione said as she walked into the kitchen with a black dress on. Tien couldn't help but stare at her. He already knew what was underneath the dress but she was still beautiful. Even her insults couldn't keep him from staring and that was what was troubling him. Bulma sat back and watched how Tien would react. Would he tell Kione off now or would he go back to how he usually was?
"Why aren't you leaving? I told you you were not worth my time. You are a lazy fuck," Kione said coldly. She desperately wanted Tien to leave. He was a reminder of her irrational thinking and she didn't want to deal with it. She wanted to destroy his pride, so that he never returned until Kione had moved on if she chose to leave Earth.
Kione opened her mouth to dish out another insult when Tien looked up. She closed her mouth as the intensity of Tien's glare was upon her. She saw pure hatred in his eyes but there was another emotion as well that she couldn't identify. Where was this change coming from? Kione watched Tien take the gun and shoot himself with it. He dropped the gun on the table and pushed the chair to the table. He focused his attention back on Kione and said, "We have unfinished business." Tien turned and left leaving Kione in complete shock and wondering what did that mean.
Bulma chuckled and thought, 'About fucking time.' Bulma turned to see Kione still staring after Tien dumbfounded. She shook her head. This woman had really unleashed the beast. Tien had looked at her as if she was the enemy. She was unsure of how Tien would get back at Kione but there was no doubt that he would.
"Kione, what would you like for breakfast?" Bulma asked.
"What? Um? Anything you make will be fine," Kione said shaking her head trying to clear the bad feeling that she was getting. What had he meant by unfinished business? Kione snorted and shrugged off her worries in the following second. He was a weakling. He couldn't harm her. It wasn't possible.
Author's Note: Woo! Wonder what Tien has up his sleeves! I will have the next chapter out probably tomorrow night.
I hope you all enjoyed. Please review and stay tuned for the next chapter of I Believe In A Thing Called Love!
