A Change for the Better

"18!!! Get out of the house now!" 18 rolled over and herd the feint sound of her brothers voice.
"What's the matter tin can, afraid to fight alone?"
At this 18 shot out of bed and ran down the stairs and out side. Her suspicions were correct, the unmistakable prince of saiyans had so kindly paid them a visit.
"Oh there you are android I was starting to wonder." Vegeta sneered as he turned his gaze toward 18.
"What the hell do you want?!" She spat
"For you to stop spying on us tin can."
"What?!"
"You know what I'm talking about I've seen you lurking around corners and hiding up in trees, well I've had enough! We're settling this right here right now."
17 shot his sister a disappointed look then nodded. At this 18 charged at Vegeta straight on and head butted him in the gut just as 17 came from above kicked him in his side. Vegeta flew back a little then stopped in midair and smirked. "Oh you're going to have to do better than that androids." He quickly flew behind 17 and slammed his combined fists on the top of his head causing the cyborg to hit the ground hard. 18 flew up to him and started throwing punches and kicks at him but Vegeta blocked them all. Then the moment the opportunity came Vegeta put his hand up to her stomach and released a powerful ki blast sending 18 flying through several trees before hitting the ground. He was suddenly knocked forward and turned around to see 17 with one of his hands sticking out at shoulder level. 17 shot another ki blast at him but at this Vegeta quickly pulled his hands back and yelled "Final Flash" and released the blast. The blast went trough 17's attack and hit the ground in front of 17 causing a huge explosion.
Vegeta waited for the dust to clear, floating in midair, and smirk when he saw his environment. 18 was laying at the trunk of a tree that she didn't quite get knocked through, and 17 was half buried in the ruble of the androids home. Vegeta floated downward and gently landed on the ground beside 18. He bent down and picked her up by the scruff of her shirt. "This is your end android" he put his hand up to her and began collecting a large amount of energy.
"VEGETA STOP!!!!!" The energy in his hand disappeared and he looked to his right and saw a young boy and a little bald man run up to him.
"Vegeta you have no right to do this." Gohan scolded as he pried 18 from Vegeta's fingers and set her down gently. "They haven't done anything wrong."
"THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG???" Vegeta repeated with an expression of utter disbelief on his face, "boy what's wrong with you, don't you remember the things they did before the Cell games. And that's beside the fact that they wanted Kakkarott dead and that female tin can has been spying on us for months probably waiting for the right moment to attack."
"Oh my Vegeta I had no idea you cared for my father so." Gohan grinned and tried not to laugh.
"What! I never said that! It's just that I. . . well if anyone defeats Kakkarott it should be me." He crossed his arms and gave Gohan a look of defiance.
While the two of them were talking, Krillin had kneeled beside 18 and stroked her gently on the cheek. " Besides Vegeta I think they've changed now since Cell has been defeated."
"Hmph. You're just sticking up for them because you're soft for the blonde one."
Krillin blushed wildly and nervously put his hand on the back of his neck "No, no you have it all wrong, I just think they deserve a second chance, I mean c'mon they are finally free of any control Gero had over them. They haven't really done anything wrong to disturb the peace."
"Whatever baldy" at this Vegeta floated up in the air, "Fine do whatever you want with them but I warn you, the moment one of them makes a false move, neither of you will be able to stop me from destroying them." Then he flew out of sight.
"Krillin you have an extra room over at the Kame house right?" Gohan asked as he leaned over and picked up 18.
"Yeah we've been using Lunch's room for guests for the past few years." Krillin walked over to the ruble and pulled 17 out and picked him up. He'd rather be carrying 18 but he didn't want to admit that to Gohan. The two of them flew up into the air and headed toward the Kame house. Krillin occasionally glanced over at 18, he knew she must be in pain, she was beaten pretty badly, Vegeta had become stronger since their last encounter.
The two them landed on the beach of the Kame house and walked inside. They started walking up the stairs when they were stopped by a familiar voice. "Well now, what have we got here?" The old man shifted his sunglasses and looked at them holding two people whose faces he couldn't see but he assumed they were women. "Hey way to go guys, but Gohan don't you think you're a little young."
Gohan gave him a puzzled look. Krillin turned around and laughed "No Roshi you've got it all wrong. Vegeta destroyed their house so the androids are going to be staying with us for a while. Roshi's eyes widened "WHAT THOSE ARE THE ANDROIDS, NO WAY, I FORBID IT!!!"
"C'mon Roshi-sama, they've changed and besides the Son's don't have enough room at their house and there's no way Vegeta would allow them to stay at Capsule Corp. Hey it'll be alright I take full responsibility for their actions, ok?" Krillin swallowed, he had a feeling he would regret those words but he couldn't take them back now.
Roshi stood there for a moment and then looked down at 18. "Well I guess it would be nice to have a woman in the house again. But Krillin they're your responsibility." He turned around and walked back into the living room.
Krillin let out a sigh and they continued up the stairs and into the vacant room. Krillin set 17 down on the blankets that lay on the floor then set some down for 18.
"I think I'll go get Bulma, she can probably make them feel better." Gohan said and headed for the door.
"Yeah that's a good idea I'll just stay here incase they wake up." Krillin watched Gohan leave then kneeled beside 18. She looked so peaceful, despite the cuts and bruises all over her body. He gently stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. ~She's so beautiful.~ Suddenly an urge rushed over him that he couldn't resist. He slowly leaned down and kissed her softly. She moved a little and Krillin jumped up and ran over to the door. ~Shit, o hell. What was I thinking. I wasn't thinking, she's gonna kill me.~ But to his relief she just rolled over and continued to sleep. ~I've got to be more careful, I had no right to do that.I.I just couldn't help myself.~
To Krillin's relief Bulma and Gohan arrived a few minutes later, he didn't want to be alone with them, in case 18 woke up and realized what he had done. He knew this was probably impossible but he was scared despite that.
"Alright people give me room." Bulma said as she buzzed around with her little medical kit, taking scans, injecting medicine, and wrapping bandages around them. Krillin and Gohan just stood against a wall and watched. Finally Bulma packed up all her supplies and walked up to the two of them. "Well that was fun I haven't played doctor in a while."
Krillin raised a brow. "O.k. Well anyway are they ok?"
"O, well android #18 wasn't hurt as bad, though she did have some head injuries, and android #17 has a broken leg." She sat and pondered for a moment. "I'm not sure how long it'll take them to heal, I'm not familiar with that part of their anatomy, but it shouldn't take too long, and in the mean time I'm sure you and Gohan can work on the repairs for their house. And I'm going to give Vegeta an earful when I get back home, he had no right to do this. So you going to give me a ride home?"
"Hmm? O yeah sorry Bulma." Gohan picked her up then turned to Krillin. "Are you going to be ok watching them by yourself?"
"Yeah, if I need you I'll just call, ok?"
"Ok well I'll stop by tomorrow if I can get out of my studying long enough."
"Alright Gohan, thanks for everything."
With that, Bulma and Gohan left. Krillin took another look at 18 and decided to go to bed. He went to his room, which happened to be right next to the one the androids were in, and crawled into bed.
