Coming Home Ch. 9
*****Recap*********
"FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!" Mamoru cried out, throwing food in the cafateria. Lita, Rei, Ami and a disgruntled Amara had left Mamoru to eat his lunch without their supervision. They had left to talk to the principal. Immediately, the cafeteria became the site of chaos. Children running wherever, food flying everywhere, tables and chairs overturned, etc… And so this was how Amara, Ami, Lita and Rei found the cafeteria when they returned.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!" Amara roared, just as the door to the cafeteria opened. Everyone stopped what they were doing, but not before some curry hit a certain short tempered Saiyin prince/king.
**********************
The whole cafeteria became silent in a matter of half a second. No one moved, breathed or even blinked. Amara, Ami, Lita and Rei watched the figure at the door, unsure of what his reaction would be. Ok, scratch that, they KNEW what his reaction would be and Dende help them, it was NOT good!
Amara saw it.. That vein popping out on Vegeta's head as his mind began to process what had just happened. Next, Lita noticed the slight golden aura that had begun to surround Vegeta. Rei noticed how his muscles had begun to bulge out of his pink BADMAN shirt. Lastly, Ami noticed his face. His mouth turned to that ever present frown and his eyes, those ebony eyes burned with fire. If looks could kill, they would all have been burning in a region far far worse than the deepest darkest region of hell.
"WHO DID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta roared. Silence answered. With his keen senses, however, Vegeta didn't need a reply. The curry that had slowly slid down his face held a scent that only one other person in the cafeteria held. The scent of the ebony haired boy, unsuccessfully hiding behind the table. Slowly, Vegeta made his way towards the boy.
"Brat…" Vegeta growled at the now shaking boy.
"H…hai Mr. Sir?"
"What's your name brat?" Vegeta's aura began to grow.
"C..C..Chiba, sir. M..Mamoru Chiba, k…kind sir." Vegeta stopped. That name, Chiba sounded familiar. No matter, he had other pests to…bat off.
"It was you wasn't it?"
"N..n..no sir!! Not me! I wouldn't do that sir!!!" Mamoru continued to stutter and gab on.
"SHUT UP! DON'T LIE TO ME YOU USELESS NO GOOD BRAT!! I KNOW IT WAS YOU!! I CAN SMELL IT! WELL BRAT! I'M GONNA MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!" Vegeta's aura burst into life.
Amara, Lita, Ami and Rei burst into action.
"VEGETA STOP IT!!!" Amara ran towards the furious prince.
"HE'S JUST A BOY VEGETA!" Lita ran to Mamoru.
"Get…out…of..the…way!" Vegeta growled in a low voice.
"NO!" Lita and Amara both took protective stances in front of Mamoru.
"Very well…" Vegeta brought up two fingers, his index and middle finger, a ki blast beginning to form. Still, the two girls didn't budge.
"You wouldn't Vegeta." Amara smirked. "Serena wouldn't forgive you if you did."
Vegeta frowned. That onna was right. He weakened the blast visably, so that it was too weak to harm the little brat. Oh well…might as well give them something to talk about. With a mental command, the energy at the tip of Vegeta's fingers burst forward, just barely dodging the stunned girls.
"AAAAHHHH!!!" Mamoru yelled as the invisible force of the blast threw him to the wall, and three other blasts followed. The original blast formed a band around his wrist as the three others followed, forming a band on his ankles and wrists, attaching him to the wall.
Vegeta smirked. This WOULD be fun. Of course Vegeta wouldn't KILL the poor boy, let him experience a little bit of pain, yes, teach the brat a lesson, yes, but kill him, no. Vegeta would NEVER stoop that low! The grounds around Vegeta began to shake and the ceilings began to crumble. Frantic students screamed in fear as Vegeta powered up.
"VEGETA!!!" Vegeta stopped. Turning, he looked at the newcomer. Serena looked back at him.
**************************
"Well?" Trunks asked, looking expectantly at Goten, Yamcha, Krillen, Tien and Chou-zu.
"Eheheh…Trunks, buddy, pal…what are you doing here?" Goten lauighted nervously and scratched the back of his head, looking a lot like Goku at the moment.
"I work here…what about you guys?"
"Oh…we were just….uh…" Krillen trailed off.
"In the neighborhood! Yeah! We were just in the neighborhood and decided to pay you a little visit!" Yamcha finished.
"Oh really? Might I ask about this…ahem…remodeling?" Trunks pointed to the mess in the room, his ki bursting to life around him. The employees watched on in amazement.
"Uh…" everyone was at a lost for words. Luckily, they didn't need to think of one. There was a ki that was rising quickly and it wasn't from Trunks. They all rushed out of the building and looked out towards the location of the ki.
'Vegeta…' They all thought before taking off into air.
********************************
"Chibi-onna." Vegeta looked at Serena, who was currently taking in the scene.
"What are you doing?!!" Serena glared at Vegeta. He, in return, smirked.
"It's none of your business chibi-onna."
"Yes it is!"
"No it's not!"
"Yah huh!"
"Nah uh!"
"Uh huh!"
"Nah uh!"
:"Uh huh!"
"Nah uh!"
"Uh huh!"
"Nah uh!"
This continued for quite some time, with the cafateria watching in amazement. Who WAS this mysterious man who could make their respected principal act so childish? Meanwhile, the scouts were watching Serena make Vegeta forget his dignity in amazement.
"UH HUH!" Serena's fists were clenched in annoyance.
"NA UH!" Vegeta was equally annoyed.
"UH HUH!"
"NAH UH!"
"UH HUH TIMES INFINITY!!!"
"THERE'S NO SUCH THING!!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too times infinity!"
"Chibi-onna, there is No SUCH THING!!"
"YES THERE IS!! QUIT BEING SUCH A SORE LOSER!" Serena shouted at Vegeta. A vein popped out of Vegeta's forehead.
"ONNA! IN MY OFFICE NOW!!" Vegeta stormed off. Serena followed him, before a thought struck her.
"Wait! Vegeta! You don't have an office!! You don't even KNOW where the office is!! You don't work here! I DO!! Vegeta!!! IT'S MY OFFICE!! NOT YOURS!!!" and with that, Serena began to run after the now lost and confused but too proud to admit it Vegeta.
"Uh..that was…different." Lita glanced at the torn up cafeteria.
"What just happened??" Amara asked, slightly dazed.
"Well, according to my comprehension…" Ami began to recap everything that happened when she was interrupted by a group of men bursting through the door, causing the door to fly off its hinges.
"WHERE IS HE?!!?! IS EVERYONE OK?!?!!?"
"…" silence greeted Trunks, Goten, Tien, Yamcha, Krillen, and Chou-zu.
*********************************
"So what's your reason for coming here, Vegeta?" Serena asked Vegeta, who was currently picking up the shreds of his dignity, due to the..ahem..incident in the cafeteria.
"Onna is holding another ones of those annoying gatherings again."
"Bulma's having a party??"
"That's what she calls it. Her screeching is…. infuriating my ears and she'll make me deaf if she continues. She wants you there for some reason."
"Aww Vegeta, I love you too!" Serena dryly replied.
"The party is in two weeks. You better come, the onna won't stop screeching till she knows you are. If you don't come, I'll personally see to it that your heart is ripped out." Vegeta smirked.
"Too late, it's already been done." Serena spoke, quite forlornly. Vegeta's expression softened somewhat. He walked over to an opened window.
"He acted as pitiful as you when you left…of course, he IS a weak brat…" and with that, Vegeta took off into air. Serena smiled slightly. In his own way, Vegeta was trying to comfort her…in his own…strange…way. Of course, that was Vegeta and you had to love him.
"Hmm…a party eh?…Guess I should go…" Serena mused before a thought struck her…or rather, two thoughts.
'What time does it start!?! What am I going to WEAR??!!!'
***************************
Vegeta smirked in midair. He hadn't COMPLETELY fibbed. The onna WAS having an annoying social gathering…and she did want Serena to be there. She just wasn't deafening him with her screeching. He frowned. If anyone ever found out what he was doing….well…lets just leave that to your imagination.
****************************
"Briefs…." Amara hissed between clenched teeth.
"Ur..Amara…" Trunks took a small step back. After all, Amara could be very..unpredictable.
Ami came up from behind Amara, glaring at Trunks, as did Rei and Lita, both girls cracking their knuckles. Lita's eyes promised pain and Trunks gulped as he looked at Amara's eyes. Her eyes promised a slow painful death. Ami sighed.
"Amara…not here…not now. You would only hurt her furthermore." Ami calmly stated. Amara growled but relaxed from her fighting stance.
"So…what happened here?" Krillen asked, looking around.
"Vegeta…" Rei bowed her head, shaking it sadly as she recalled the incident from earlier.
"And YOUR going to help clean it up." Lita said, her eyes taking a look of a hawk as she examined the mess clearly for the first time.
"WHAT?!?!!?!?!?!!" The guys all yelled, their hands in front of them, shaking side to side.
"PPLLEEAASSEE!??!?!" Rei asked, her eyes big.
"NO!!!" Trunks began backing away.
"But it would make Sere oh so happy!!" Ami retorted. Trunks stopped in his tracks. The rest of the Z guys groaned.
"It would?"
"Yeah, she'd probably be happy enough to hug you!" Rei's comment caused Amara to sputter and a string of curses flew out of her mouth, much to the chagrain of the kids in the cafeteria.
"Really?!?!" Trunks was, at this moment, hooked. His eyes had lighten up and were looking at the girls in pure hope.
"Yup! Too bad you and the guys aren't going to clean." Ami grinned.
"What!!?!? We wouldn't want YOU to have to clean all of this, would we guys??" Trunks turned to look at the Z guys with him.
"…"
"WOULD WE?!!!?!!" there was a silent threat.
"No…" the guys sighed and hung their heads in defeat. With that, they began to clean, Trunks practically jumping up and down.
'What an idiot.' All the girls thought. AN:…gomen..i couldn't resist doing that to Trunks!=^-^=()()
******************************
"Make sure it's perfect! No wrinkles and I need it ready in two weeks." Darien spoke to the elderly man. The elderly man's figure was bent, and Darien felt uneasy around the old tailor. The tailor's face was pail and wrinkly, having an illusion of hanging loosely. His white hair was bedraggled and his wise pale gray eyes scared Darien to no ends.
"But of course, Mr. Chiba…might I ask what the occasion is?" The tailor's voice was raspy.
"A business party, I plan to ask the most gorgeous lady to come with me. Of course, she will agree, she'll have to." Darien grinned arrogantly.
"Ah, this lady sounds special, dare I ask her name?" at this, Darien stared contemptibly at the elderly man. But he was in a good mood and would tell.
"Tsukino, Serena Tsukino."
"And what makes this girl so special?" The tailor asked, curious. Darien's eyes flashed, agitated.
"You are lucky I am in a good mood old man. Next time, you ought to know your place! And she's special because she's gorgeous, what else? Soon though, she'll fall into my charms."
"Of course sir, why wouldn't she? You're a smart, handsome, successful man that no young lady who has anything close to a brain can resist!" Darien's chest puffed out at this flattery. His ego boosted another notch.
"You're a smart old man. You better start another tux, white. It shouldn't be that long until I come and pick it up for the wedding…after all, after a couple of months, she's bound to marry me." And the egotistical man left.
"So prince charming is trying to woo the princess eh?" the old man smirked, his figure changing. His white hair grew shoulder length, turning black, his once ancient tanned loose fitting skin transformed into pale youthful tight skin, and his posture stood tall, proud. Once gray eyes transformed into mysterious violet eyes, and his figure became that of a well-developed young lady.
"Well, we cannot have that now, can we?" Hotaru grinned and the whole shop disappeared. The spot it once stood was now a vacant alley.
