The Love of a Geisha 3: Chores. Tears.
Author's note: I should probably mention ahead of time that Chichi and Bulma will be out of character.
Sakui-chan: Thanks ever so much!
Lady Ev: Thanks mean alot to me!
Kimbra: Thanks ever so much. By the way the Geisha House is big and its grounds are big. The house has tons of rooms and lots of people. So it will take awhile.
Neo-Queen Terra of Crystal Tokyo: Thank ya!

It had been a little over three months since the girls had arrived at the Geisha house. The girls were getting very good at their chores right now they only wasted two thrids of the day doing them. Since Chichi wasn't spending so much time cleaning, the meals at the Geisha house were better then before. One day Chichi was in Nakia's room sweeping the dust up, when the woman walked in.
"What are you doing in here girl?!" she demanded.
"I am cleaning your room Lady," said Chichi calmly.
"Well then I wish you would take has good care of your smell has you do our rooms! Since you stink up the Geisha house. I don't know why they let you stay here, you aren't at all that pretty. Even that ugly blue haired girl is prettier then you. At least she doesn't smell like you do and she keeps herslef cleaner then you ever could. Now leave before you influence my good looks and charm."
"Yes Lady," Chichi said has she picked up her bucket of soapy water.
Chichi was leaving when Nakia stuck out her foot and tripped Chichi. She went sprawling out into the hall, and the bucket of soapy water spilled everwhere. Laughing Nakia slammed the door shut. Chichi pushed herself onto her knees and looked around, her eyes started to tear up. But she swallowed her tears and picked up the rag to wipe up the spilt soapy water. Just then 'Auntie' walked out of one of the rooms. She looked down at Chichi has she moped up the water. She blinked when she saw tiny droplets falling from the young girls face.
"Chichi what happened child?" she asked.
Chichi looked up and knew that she would not believe her if she said Nakia had tripped her, since after all 'Mother' had not the last time this happened. "I tripped and fell 'Auntie'," said Chichi. "A board must have been lose."
'Auntie stared down at the young girl and knew she had lied. But she decided the young girl had her reasons.
"Alright then young oneclean this up and then go finish your chores."
"Yes 'Auntie'."
After 'Auntie' had left Chichi sighed and began to finish mopping up the spilt water. She had no idea about why Nakia hated her so much. It couldn't be because she was competetion. She wasn't even starting the Geisha school yet. So it couldn't be that, but if that wasn't it then what was it? Chichi sighed picked the bucket back up and then made her way into the wash room, to get some new water.

Bulma was outside sweeping the leaves off the walkway when two carriages cam riding up and nearly ran over her. Bulma dashed off the walkway and saw a glimpse of a boy with black hair that stoke up straight, like the flame on a candle. She gasped when their eyes meet and she followed his gaze has the carriage went around a fountain and stopped at the entrance of the Geisha house.
Bulma stood up and she brushed herself off before picking up the broom so she could continue to sweep off the leaves.
***************************************************************
Veggitta looked out the window of the carriage, has they drove past the blue haired girl. She was still quite pretty even though she was clothed in sweat. He wondered if she would get into the famous Geisha school. If so then he would have to try to have her company one night when they were both older. She looked like she would be excellent company, in many many ways.
"Son?" came his father's voice.
"Yes father?" Veggitta said turning to look at his father who was on the other side of the carriage.
"Did you see something that interests you?"
"Not really father just a new servant girl that I had filled to notice the last time we were here."
"Well we haven't come here to visit the place that some of our money keeps up."
The Veggittas and the Sons both would often throw together their money to help keep the Geisha house in which at one time had housed the woman. That had given both men their Children, since the women in the Geisha house seemed to be capiable of bearing strong heirs, the only way they considered proper was to give donations to the Geisha house. Lord Veggitta stepped out of the carriage at the same time Lord Bardock did.
The men were dressed in kimonos with Swords. The swords were tied to their waists by a sash. They also had a blood red cape attached to their shoulders. They had stern looks on their faces and their eyes were cold. The two sons stepped out of the carriages as one a minute later. They were dressed like their fathers except instead of a sword their was a dagger. Also their cape wasn't blood red it was a dark blue and it was secured on with a chain in front of their necks. Also unlike their fathers, the boys were looking around the beautifully decorted exterior of the Geisha house and its grounds. Their eyes were calm and composed, with the light of a teenager still slightly with their innocence. 'Mother' and 'Auntie' stepped into the cool afternoon air to greet them.
"Lord Veggitta, Lord Bardock," said 'Mother' bowing to them respectfully. "It is an honor for us to have you here visiting. Young Lord Veggitta. Young Lord Karrotto. It is an honor to see you here as well."
The man and their sons bowed has well to the two women. Then they went inside for some tea. 'Auntie' rang for Chichi. The girl dashed inside carring the bucket of newly soapy water.
"Hai 'Auntie'?" she asked coming to a stop and bowing.
Karrotto leaned back to get a look at her past his father. But he lost his balance and fell backwards. Chichi raised her eyes to look at him behind the cover of her hair. She giggled softly, has Karrotto straightened up and blushed.
"Chichi," 'Auntie' said. "Please be a good girl and go get us some tea."
"Hai 'Auntie'," chirped Chichi.
Chichi then dashed off to the kitchen still holding the water bucket. The four adults watched the little girl dash off into the kitchen, holding the bucket firmly to one side of her in both hands. Lord Bardock turned to 'Mother'.
"A delicate child," he stated.
"I know but she and her young friend are such good workers," said 'Mother'. "Besides thanks to the child we finely have ediable meals here."
"And you didn't before?" asked Lord Veggitta.
"Well we had food its just that the kitchen servants weren't very good at making food. But Chichi has taught them some things and so now we have edible meals. Though some of the food at the evening meals are better since Chichi finishes her chores and helps out in the kitchen. She is quite the good cook for her age."
"I am amazed that she can do such a thing has that and still have time to cook."
"Her mother died I believe for years ago, stated 'Auntie'. "So she had to take care of her father and their house."
"She took on a big responsibility at a young age."
"Indeed has have her young blue haired friend."

"Tali-san?" said Chichi has she set the bucket down.
"Hai Chichi-chan?" said Tali looking at the small girl.
"Where is the tea? 'Auntie' and 'Mother' have company and they request some tea to drink."
"Oh well then it is probably Lord Veggitta and Lord Bardock with their sons. They are two of our benifactors so we must give them the greatest tea we have. Which of course was made by our very own Chichi-chan."
All the servant women giggled fondly at the small black haired girl before them. They so loved her company, she had a lovely voice and would often sing while they prepared the evening meals. Chichi smiled and set about preparing the trey while Tali made the tea and another girl got out some small cakes.
Chichi finally came out of the kitchen with the trey. She silently placed it in the middle of the table. Then she returned to the kitchen to get the buket of water to finish her cleaning. She was walking into the hallway when Nakia strolled into her. The bucket slooshed and all the water splashed onto Nakia's new Kimono.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" shrieked Nakia.
Lord Bardock and Lord Veggitta came dashing out about ready to draw their swords. But they stopped when they saw the site. Karrotto and Veggitta stood their gapping at the site. Nakia was fuming while her clothes were drenched, so was her hair, and her make up was running.
"Gomen nasi Naki-san," said the girl softly.
"You stupid little uricane! How could you be so clumsy?! You know I was coming up the walk way! Why did you move in front of me?!"
"I just came into the hallway the same time you did."
"You little pathitic peace of garbage!"
Then Nakia brought her plam back and slammed it across Chichi's face. Chichi cried out loud and her body was skidded across the hard wood floor. Her body hit the wall and she crumpled. Karrotto dashed to her side followed by a blur of blue hair. Veggitta followed soon after.
Auntie stared at Nakia,"Why did you do that? You know the girl could not have taken the hit."
"The girl needed to learn her place."
"Place?!" snapped Lord Bardock. "From the looks of things she knew her place."
"Yes Nakia and you had no right to strike her," snapped 'Auntie'. That is not your job to do so. If something is deemed wrong then the punishment is either mine or 'Mothers' not yours. Now leave. I will decided what to do about you later."
"Very well 'Auntie'."
Then Nakia stormed out of the Geisha House. 'Aunite' and the other adults turned around to see Karrotto holding the unconicuss girl.
"Um 'Aunite-san'?" he asked.
"Where do you want me to put her?"
"Follow me young Lord Karrotto."
"Hai 'Aunite-san'."
So 'Auntie' lead Karrotto up a flight of stairs to the servant quarters.
"Put her down in this cot," said 'Aunite'.
"Hai."
Karrotto set her down has Bulma came in followed by the others. Bulma was carrying a bowl of cool water, with a towel drapped over her arm. She set the bowel down on the floor and knelt next to it hands clasped in her lap praying. While 'Aunite' ran the water over Chichi's brow, Karrotto was crouched over her in worry. Lord Veggitta and Lord Bardock exchanged a look, they knew their sons had found the other half of their souls in these girls though they did not know it.
They knew that Karrotto and Veggitta felt strongly for the girls cause they acted differently around the girls then they did with teens their own age. So they had to be destinied for eachother. A happy noise from a female voice brought them around. They stared has Bulma lunged forward and threw her arms around Chichi's neck.
"Boys," said Lord Veggitta gruffly. "It is time to go come along now."
"Hai sir," said the boys together.
Then they followed 'Aunite' out of the room and to their awaiting carriages.
Veggitta manor_____________________________________________
Lord Veggitta stood staring out the window of his meeting room (no idea of what else to call it). Lord Bardock was lieing on a coach. The two families had been friends since forever.
"What do you think we should do about our sons?" asked Lord Veggitta.
"What and see if things are has we think," replied Lord Bardock. "I don't know about your son and the blue hair. But I have a feeling that my son has feelings and feels conected to the dark haired girl."
"I can practical feel the conection between those two."
"I have a feeling that within in the next year those two servant girls will be in the Geisha school."
"I believe you are right Lord Bardock. I do so believe you are right."
