Sorry for the delay in posting chapters. I pinched a nerve in my right hand and haven't been able to use it for anything all week, especially typing. But I've gotten pretty good at typing with just my left hand, oh well. Still haven't been able to put the finishing touches on ch7 but I will try to have them done by next week.
I don't own nuttin. Sue me if u want, you will get what I own...... which is nuttin.
Homecoming
With a flash of light Jim appeared outside of Starwind and Hawking. He couldn't wait to see the whole group especially Aisha. He quietly approached the door hiding his power level so Suzuka couldn't sense him.
Melphina and Gene sat on the couch holding each other while watching one of Suzuka's soaps with her. All three leaned forward attentively as the music climaxed and the doctor cleared his throat about to reveal who the baby's father was when....
"LUCY IM HOME!!!" Jim yelled as he entered the room.
Gene: "Dammit Jim!! You scared the livin shi..."
Suzuka: "Jim, you could be more poli...."
Melphina: "Hey, .... Jim?"
"Jims here!?!?" Aisha yelled as she ran out of her room. She bounded down the stairs, eager to see him. It had been the longest year of her life, every day she thought about the night in the training lot with him. As she reached halfway down the stairs she saw him. She almost didn't believe her eyes; while she was distracted she missed a step and started to fall. If it hadn't been for Jim, she would of facevaulted the rest of the way down the stairs. In a burst of speed, that made everyone's jaw drop, Jim appeared at the bottom of the stairs and caught Aisha. Jim wrapped his arms around her and stepped back from the stairs with her in tow.
"Easy their Aisha."
Aisha couldn't say a word. Jim was now at least six foot four, and had lost every ounce of fat on his body. Aisha kept her arms around him and looked him over with her mouth still gaping open. *whatever he is wearing, I like it* The skintight suit showed of every muscle in his body. *I never new someone could look so good.*
Jim couldn't let Aisha go either. He stood there with his arms around her wishing they were alone. To him she seemed more beautiful than he could remember.
"Jim," Aisha said finally stepping back. "You've changed so much, what have you been through."
"Well it's a long story, I guess we all had better sit down."
Aisha sat next to Jim as he began his story. The entire group hung on every word he said. He told them of Goken, Mr. PoPo and Dende. His past, Vegeta, Goku, and the battles they fought, leaving out the details of how powerful both he and his ancestors could become. *Got to save something to surprise them with next time we're in a bar fight.* As he was finishing he noticed Aisha staring at him. Her eyes seeming to hang on every word he said.
"Great story Jim," Gene said, "but I have to ask you something."
"What Gene?"
"What are you wearing?!?!"
Jim blushed. He had forgotten he had the battle suit on.
"It's a Saiyan armor suit. It's what Vegeta and other Saiyans used to wear in battle."
"Well ok Jim, if you want to prance around here in spandex be my guest. But I don't think ide let Fred see you in that." Gene cupped his hands together and batted his eyelashes. "~Oh Jim, you've gotten so handsome!!!~" (Said in his best Fred Low voice)
"What's the matter Gene, afraid Fred will go for a guy that isn't such a gurly-man?" Jim said flexing his arm as the whole group burst into laughter.
"I don't want to play anymore." Gene said crossing his arms and pouting, which only made everyone laugh harder.
As Aisha stopped laughing she looked at Jim again. *I can't believe how open Jim is. He would have never acted like that before he left. *
After dinner the five sat and talked well into the night. Constantly bringing up the fact that Jim could now eat more than Aisha. Suzuka left about midnight mentioning that she had something to take care of before dawn. Soon after Aisha left and went out to the training lot, secretly hoping Jim would follow.
Melphina giggled as Gene whispered something in her ear.
"Gene, its almost one o clock, I'm tired."
"Tired? Let's just see if I cant wake you up." Gene said picking Melphina up over his shoulder and carrying her to their bedroom. "Don't wait up for us dad." He said to Jim as the two slipped out of sight.
Jim leaned back and looked at the ceiling. *Man its good to be back* He got up and stretched his arms yawning as he started to bed. *Wonder where Aisha went?*
Aisha stood out in the lot leaning on a wall and watching the stars.
"Hard to believe we were out here together a year ago tonight." Jim said as he walked in and stood next to Aisha.
"Yea it is Jim." Aisha said never looking at him. She couldn't. She just stood there staring blankly into space twirling her hair ring. *Why cant I just tell him how I feel. I'm a Ctarl-Ctarl warrior, but why am I so scared.*
Jim continued to stand there. His head looking up at the stars but his eyes never leaving Aisha. He wanted to bring up the moment they had a year ago but couldn't think of a good way to do it. Finally, he decided that barging in headfirst with no plan of action like Gene would probably be the best way.
"Aisha?"
"Yea Jim?"
"I want you to know, everyday that I was gone I thought about what you said the last night I was here." *God that was lame*
"And?" Aisha said turning around and facing him.
*I can't do it* Jim thought. *There is no way I can put into words how I feel about her* He just stood there staring into her blue eyes. He would gladly drown himself in them if it brought him one step closer to her. (Just be yourself.) Dende's words shot through him like an alarm. *Fuck it* he said to himself.
"You know I'm no good with words Aisha." Jim said as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him, kissing her. Aisha's body tensed and her eyes shot wide open as her lips met his. She couldn't believe he wanted to kiss her. Slowly she closed her eyes and relaxed as she realized she wanted it too. He felt her body relax as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and began to return his kiss. Jim felt his knees weaken as she eased her tongue into his mouth and let it meet it with his own, seemingly letting them caress each other.
The kiss was broken off a few moments later, but to them it felt like forever. They stood in each other's arms, both staring into the others eyes.
"Aisha, I think I love you." *Did I just say love? Is that what I have been feeling all these years*
"Jim, I have loved you for longer than I can remember." Aisha said as she rested her head on Jim's chest. Jim put his face down in Aisha's hair, inhaling her smell, never wanting to forget it. The two stood there in each other's arms for over an hour, neither saying a word.
"Aisha." Jim said finally breaking their silence.
"Yes Jim."
"As much as I hate to, I think we had better call it a night. If I stand here much longer I'm going to fall asleep."
Aisha took her head off of Jim's chest and nodded. She hated as much as he did to end their moment but she had almost fallen asleep too. The couple walked into the building still in one another's arms. Both Jim and Aisha were too week to walk on their own, but as long as they stayed together they were strong.
Aisha leaned back against her door as Jim kissed her again. Although not as long as their first, this one was just as passionate. He loved the different sensations he got when he kissed her. Her tongue wasn't as thick as a humans and the roof of her mouth had ridges like a cats. He smiled as she giggled when he let his own tongue rake across them. *Must of found a ticklish spot.* he thought.
As the kiss broke, Aisha stared into his eyes as she opened her door. She wanted him to come in so badly. She wanted to give herself to him, and to wake up next to him in the morning. If he had asked too, she wouldn't have stopped him. But she was relieved as he kissed her on the forehead and told her goodnight before heading off to his own room. *He doesn't want to push this anymore than I do* Aisha giggled to herself as she shut the door.
Jim plopped down on his bead; his heart feeling like it was going to jump out of his chest. He was glad she didn't invite him into her room, God knew he wanted to though, but the last thing he wanted to do was to rush it. He lay there on his bed slowly drifting off to sleep. Still tasting her sweet lips and relishing in the smell of her hair.
Aisha took off her Catrl-Catrl uniform and sat at her dresser in a tank top and underwear. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, still thinking of Jim as she removed her ring and unbraided her hair. Before she went to bed she took out a piece of paper and began writing.
Dear Mom...
I think I have found the man of my dreams...
~~:*:~~
Jim sat at the breakfast table the next morning inhaling a third plate of bacon and eggs.
"I have to say Mel, I have really missed your cooking since I left."
"Thank you Jim." Melphina smiled as she cooked another pound of bacon for Jim. She always enjoyed cooking. It was one of the few talents, other than navigating the XGP, she had been born with.
"Jim, if you don't slow down your going to accidentally swallow your tongue!" Gene stammered as he stared at the human shop-vac across the table from him.
"Sorry Gene, I guess after training so hard my metabolism has really increased."
"Ok, but you may have to get a second job, we were about to go broke just feeding Aisha."
As if on cue Aisha appeared walking down the stairs. Her hair shot out in all directions, and beside the addition of a pair of sweatpants, was in the same clothing she had fallen asleep in. She would have remained in bed if it hadn't been for the smell of the bacon Melphina was cooking.
"Mumble... cant anyone sleep past nine around here....mumble mumble... Ctarl-Ctarl warrior for crying out loud, mumble..." Aisha groaned as she sat at the table next to Jim.
*Still not a morning person.* Jim chuckled as he admired her bride-of-frankenstine hairdo.
It wasn't until Melphina sat a plate of bacon in front of Aisha that she snapped out of her catatonic state and began eating with the same speed as Jim.
*Geese, one was bad enough, but I cant take watching the two of them eat* "For some reason I have lost my appetite." Gene said standing up and raking his remaining food onto Jim's plate. He heard a muffled : "Thwank U." as he went in the kitchen to help Melphina with the dishes.
Jim leaned back as he finished his meal. He had eaten five plates in all and Aisha was currently on her third starting to slow down.
Aisha's ears suddenly perked up as she felt Jim's hand on her leg, she looked at him only to be met with a devilish grin.
*Jim, not at the table* she thought as her face turned a light shade of pink.
*Don't worry, I just need to talk with you in private.*
Aisha's eyes shot wide open. *I swear I just heard Jim's voice in my head.*
*You, did.*
"Huh?" she said aloud.
*Saiyans are able to communicate through touch. So just think of what you want to say and ill hear It.*
*Through touch?*
*Yep*
*Touch anywhere?* Aisha thought in her most seductive tone while raising one eyebrow.
*Yes Aisha, touch anywhere* Jim said blushing as he realized what Aisha meant by the comment. Aisha just lowered her eyes and gave Jim a lip-curling smile that would have made the Grinch proud.
*Anyway,* Aisha thought breaking the silence. *What do you need to talk to me about?*
*Well, I was thinking it would be best if we didn't tell Gene or the others about us right yet. Let's just wait until he gets used to me being back and all.*
*Ok* She knew exactly where he was coming from. Gene wasn't the most sensitive guy in the world, and certainly not the most acceptance to change. She remembered back to when she had pleaded Gene to let her go with them to find the Layline. In fact, it was Jim who convinced him to let her come along.
The sound of the ringing vid-phone broke up their conversation. As Jim got up and went to answer it he took one final look at Aisha. She looked like an angle sitting there with her white hair and perfect body outlined in her tank top. She suddenly broke the moment as she reached to her plate and shoved a fist full of bacon in her mouth. *That's my Aisha.*
"Good morning Starwind and Hawking enterprises." Jim said flicking the answer button on.
"OH MY GOD ITS YOU JIM, AND YOU LOOK SO HANDSOME!!!"
Jim really wished he had jet Gene or better yet Suzuka answer the phone now.
"Hey Mr. Lowe."
"Jim, I'm hurt, you leave for a year without so much as a good bye, and you know you can call me Fred." The hankie waving multi billionaire said.
Gene walked into the living room and started kissing and groping the air behind the vid-phone when he realized who Jim was talking too.
"Hold on a second Fred, Gene just walked in."
"OOOOH, let me speak to him Jim."
Gene stopped his makeout session with the air and scowled at Jim as he took his seat.
"Ill get you for that you little... Hey Fred! How's it going."
"Hello Gene, I had a meeting with the head of defense of Heyfong last night and I was able to get some information I think you would just LOVE to get your hands on."
"Well what is it."
"It's the next listing of new criminals and locations they are suspected to be in right here in Heyfong City. Its not scheduled to be made public until tomorrow. Why, with this information, a bounty hunter could pick up at least 10 or 20 without having to deal with any other competition."
"So, how much is it going to cost me?"
"Gene, it can be yours for only a 10% cut of every con you take down."
"Deal."
"Aisha, you had better get dressed, I think Gene just found us some work."
... Ok, hand starting to hurt again. Going to take a pain pill and put a hot water bottle on it, buy for now, please review.
I don't own nuttin. Sue me if u want, you will get what I own...... which is nuttin.
