Mackenzie
chapter fourteen
I watched Vegeta drive out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the details like the expression on his face, which was a frown, the way his hands gripped the wheel, which were now turning white, I smiled, even the way he was sitting, back straight, arms angled, head held high, and what his body was feeling, I could tell he was tense. I felt the urge to massage his shoulders, but I didn't. I just turned back to the window to look at the wonders of the night without the moon, which Piccolo had conveniently destroyed a couple of times.
Are you ok? You dont look well, we could go back if you want.... I suggested, resting a hand on his shoulder, Vegeta shrugged it off and glared at me.
I'm fine, now leave me alone He growled, turning his eyes back to the road.
Sorry for asking I said sarcastically, staring out of the window shield. He didn't say anything. This is a great way to start the evening! I said, unconsciously snarling.
Nande Kosu?! Vegeta said, staring at me. I turned in surprise.
What are you talking about?! I said. Vegeta opened his mouth to say something, but instead he turned back to face the road, I shook my head. What a dumbass!
We parked in the restaurants left parking. I got out and took a large breath and watched some of the other couples coming in or out. Lets go I said, starting to walk in the restaurant, Vegeta following me.
Ma'am, Sir A person greeted, you know the person with the list of names and stuff.
I said, smiling, Vegeta grunted and I elbowed him.
he asked, smiling at us, I nodded. Right this way he said and walked toward a two seated table. There will be a waiter here in a minute he said and then walked back to the stand.
What a baka Vegeta grumbled.
Vegeta, what do you want? I asked opening my menu and looking in it.
I dont care, as long its food He said, keeping his eyes closed. I shook my head
I breathed. A waiter came to us.
Are you ready? She asked, looking at us in turn.
Um..yes, I would like the Plate du'mun, so would he I said, looking up at her and closing the menu. Folding my hands, I shifted my gaze to Vegeta who had one eye open, watching the waiter.
Anything to drink? she asked, after she wrote something on her note pad.
Um, he would like some white wine, and water will be fine for me I said, smiling up at her, she smiled back.
Thank you, your food will be ready soon she said, then she walked off.
Nande kosu is white wine'? he asked, glaring at me. I sighed.
Its a type of drink, I think it as alcohol in it, I've never had it, so I wouldn't know, you'll like it I said, looking at the table top. He grunted. I just stared at the table top with my hands folded on top of it in silence for about 8 minutes.
How long does it take this baka eating place to serve our food!? Vegeta demanded.
They have to cook it first VegetaI said, mindlessly.
No they dont he stated.
Vegeta, I will not eat raw food, I could get sick, unlike you I am HUMAN! Ok? I dont have super organs I sneered, looking up at him.
I know that, they dont have to cook my meal, I really dont care Vegeta huffed, turning away.
I said, looking back at the table top.
I heard, I lifted my head to look in the direction I heard it from. Vegeta didn't seem to notice, I looked around and shrugged. Other people have the same name as me, its possible, I hope anyway...
Vegeta, did you hear something? I asked, looking at him expectantly.
Your hearing things baka onna he replied, his eyes stayed closed. I raised an eyebrow. Now why the hell is he being like this now? What, does he not like me anymore or something? Or did he ever? I wonder, I'm not going to ask, he'll only lie and say this is the way he always acts, I think he's just out of it, this is what he acted like in the series, I hope he doesn't start acting like that again, its hard to deal with him when he's like that, but then again, everything dear always comes with a price, some way or another.
I need to go to the restroom, I'll be right back I said, he grunted in acknowledgement. I sighed and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror. I dont look that bad! I said, studying myself.
Dear, whats worrying you? asked an older woman, who had just came in the door.
Oh, nothing I replied, trying not to look at her.
Dont lie, I may be old, but I'm not stupid, I can tell a fellow woman in need she said, smiling warmly at me and planting a hand on my shoulder.
Oh, its just...my boyfriend is being a..um, butt I said. I didn't know if she would mind bad language.
Honey, men are like that, they will always try to act cool or like there just to cool to care, they're like that every once in a while, trust me, I went through many kinds of men like that in my life she said, talking her hand of my shoulder. The warmth of it left, making me shiver. I hope he realizes what a gem he has now, before he loses it she said, I looked at my hands, a light red crept up my neck. Gem.....she cant be talking about me, can she? I'm no gem....
Ma'am?You aren't talking about me, are you? I asked, uncertain of the answer.
Of course I am, I'm sure my son would love to have you, but he seems to be a bit old for you, how old are you by the way? she asked, standing next to me.
I'm 15 I said, looking at her side profile, her dark hair framed her petal colored skin, and her almond eyes.
Young, and beautiful, you are a lucky girl, lucky in deed the woman said, laughing, a deep rich sound, making me want to dance at the sound.
I'm not that beautiful, there are more pretty girls out there, not just me, and they are much more pretty, much more I said, looking down. She cant mean me, it just isn't right.
Oh, there are pretty girls, but thats the thing, there pretty, your beautiful she said, patting my bare arm. I smiled, embarrest. Dont be embarrest, you should be proud of your looks, not every one has that pleasure, and dont deny it! Because you will just be fooling yourself, look in the mirror for-how do I say this?- she said, getting a thoughtful look, I looked at her with eagerness for her advice. Hmmm, look in the mirror for the big things, not the small things, only you would notice, just the things the people around you see, have you ever noticed how most of the men-old and young- look at you? You should really look once in a while, besides, you need an ego boost she said, smiling warmly. Well, I hope you take this advice to heart, I have to go, my food is probably cold by now, good luck she said and walked out the door.
I watched her go until she was gone, away from my sight, I turned back to the mirror, and stepped back as far as I could and just looked in the mirror, thats when I noticed it, I was pretty, I spent to much time worrying about it, I never noticed, I smiled, and walked back out the door, with a real smile. I looked around, most of the men turned there heads to look at me, and quickly adverted there eyes when my gaze fell on them. I smiled and walked back to my seat proudly, that was, it would have been proudly, if that stupid, kosu atama wouldn't have gotten in my way.
Mackenzie, you need to go, now Donishrea informed me, holding his hands out like a stop sign.
I hissed What are you doing here?!
I told you, you need to go he said, reaching for my arm, but I trained, I was much faster than before and I dodged him.
Go away! I'm a lot stronger now! I called, before I jumped into the seat in front of Vegeta, who looked up in surprise.
What is going on?! he demanded, following my gaze to Donishrea.
Donishrea asked, pointing to himself and looking around.
Yes, you Vegeta snarled. What are you doing here?!
Donishrea asked again.
YES YOU YOU BAKA! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU! Vegeta howled.
Enough times for me to understand Donishrea said, keeping a straight face.
One is enough, and GET OUT BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT! Vegeta yelled, stomping over to Donishrea. Who looked on with fear and was terribly failing with hiding it.
GET OUT! Vegeta said, now nose to nose with him. Donishrea left quickly. Vegeta stood straight up Stupid Baka people, messing with my mate is not smart Vegeta said, stalking back to his sea with people staring at him. WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?? He demanded, everyone turned there heads in response. Vegeta got back in his seat.
That was.....nice I said, smiling. Vegeta just looked at me. Then bam, I felt a sting in my arm, I jumped. What the? I said, looking down at a dart looking thing about 1 inch long with blue feathers. Thats when the world started to get blurry.
I heard Vegeta ask. then something hit my head, really hard.
I see birdies I said mindlessly and then went into total darkness, obvious to the world around me.
Vegeta watched me slump over in my seat, he noticed the dart and pulled it out.
I told her she needs to go Donishrea said, holding a gold dart shooter.
Vegeta hissed once again, turning toward Donishrea. No one even touches my mate he said in blind rage. And you did, your dead
Me? Dead? HA! I'm already dead, how do you explain me being so pale? He said, smiling.
You still feel pain, and thats what your going to get, is a life long PAIN IN THE ASS!Vegeta yelled, his hair flashing gold and eyes turquoise.
Donishrea said, as he started to walk toward me.
Get away from her Vegeta growled, as he was instantly in front of me.
Try and keep me away Donishrea said. Vegeta smirked, evilly.
That wasn't a good idea he said and started to power up a ki attack, most of the people there started to scream and run out, if they haven't already. Vegeta then threw the ki attack at Donishrea, who dodged. Nande Kosu!?
Well, are you going to come and get me or not? Donishrea asked, crossing his arms. Vegeta flew at him with vengeance, but Donishrea dodged and made a bee line for me. He got to me before Vegeta knew what was going on. Vegeta turned around and glared at him, but didn't move, he wasn't sure what he would do to me.
Put. Her.DOWN! Vegeta yelled, his hair and eyes permanently going ssj.
Now why would I do that? Donishrea asked as he blinked out. Vegeta got a shocked look on his face for a second, which transformed into a seething rage.
