AN: Mint and Raddy get a little hot and heavy at the end of this chapter and I watch too many french films.


Chapter 47: Red Hot Fight

Almost three years had passed since Trunks and Peanut's prophecy. It was nearly time, tension amongst the Z-fighters was almost palpable. Truly, with the knowledge they gained they had all trained harder than normal. Raditz still trained with Nappa, Gohan, but mostly with Mint. At first training with her he 'd use kid gloves to make it last as long as he could, he liked the way she moved.

As the years went on he couldn't take her so lightly, in fact her frequent training sessions with him had made her quite powerful while his growth wasn't as fast. He hadn't much opportunity to train with his brother, he apparently was doing some severe self-training, which according to Gohan didn't make Chichi very happy.

In spite of feeling a tad weak today he didn't want to cancel his training session with Mint. She landed in front of him in her normal tank, jeans, and bandana combo. She had let her hair down to mid-shoulder blade. He was wearing one of the gis Chichi made.

"I hope you're ready for today Raddy!" Mint gave him a cocky grin with a flirtatious tone.

He chuckled crossing his arms giving her his classic smirk, "Oh I'm always ready for you Mint."

The made her blush a little and smile,, "We'll see about that Raddy!" She powered up and he followed suit, she dashed at him punching at his chest, he moved to the side grabbing her by the wrist and bringing his knee into her lower ribs. Her eyes widened as she saw the blow coming, she whirled around and kicked him, her foot enveloped in ki, across the waistline. He lost his grip on her on her as she tumbled a moment before she hopped right back up and fired her sonic boom at him to give her more time.

The attack was far too slow for Raditz, he went above it and dove down to kick her face. She disappeared in an afterimage and reappeared behind him. She trust her ki flaring fist up at his back, he turned swiftly the blow merely scathing him and tearing at his gi. As he turned he brought his elbow into her temple. She dizzily stumbled to the side and rubbed her head in pain, her ears ringing.

"Had enough?" He teasingly asked her.

She looked up at him, she smiled darkly, "Enough is never enough!"

He responded with an intrigued look, "mm…" he smiled then charged at her again, she back but not fast enough. He caught her by the arm and punched with his other. She grabbed his fist using a great deal of ki to stave his blow. She winked at him cutely and brought her knee into his gut making him let go of her.

She began hitting him with swift weak jabs he pushed her away and kicked her hard. She countered by flipping into another kick, but he moved aside and kicked her lightly in the romp.

"Hey!" She growled angrily, dashing to the right she attacked his side, her flipped her over him playfully and she stumbled onto her face. "Stop that!" she became frustrated. This bull fight went on a short while more, wearing her down. Mint panted heavily blood trickled down the side of her mouth. Raditz was just starting to break a sweat, he noticed her blood and genuinely concerned but kept up his tough exterior, "You might want to stop." he said scoffing.

She smirked and whipped away the blood, "I don't want to, not with you."

"Then give me your best shot!" He dared her with a gleam in his eye.

She roared as she charged all her remaining ki into her fist and gave a mean hook toward his face. He swiftly caught her fist and cringed in pain as her blow broke his palm's bones and burned him slightly. His hand went quickly toward her face, she flinched out of instinct, but instead of striking her he had taken off her bandana letting her hair fall naturally around her. He kept his hand on the back of her head.

She recovered from her shock and in a moment of fearing some attack she gasped, "Raddy, what are you…"

She was cut off abruptly as he took her by the back of her head and brought her into a deep, strong, and passionate kiss. Her eyes shot open wide and her body became stiff in surprise. Her heart raced and her fist relaxed as he release it and let his hand wander and caress her body. As he did her body relaxed, her eyes closing, she let out a sigh of pleasure that she'd been holding in for ages. The kiss, that for Mint seemed unending, was realized he smiled at her holding her womanly frame tenderly. In a bit of drunken bliss the only thing Mint manage to say, "Doing…?"

She glared a moment and slapped him across the face, the slapped turned quickly into pulling into a charged kiss of her own, even catching the super saiyan off guard.
