Coming Back Home ch14
Usagi and Mamoru went where?!? And Vegeta did what?!
Usagi sat on the edge of the bed waiting for everybody to go to sleep. It was still too early for her meeting with Mamoru, but she wanted it to be perfect. If someone found out what was going on, she would be in so much trouble. *If they find out later it won't matter.* She thought grimly *But later.*
Sometime into the night, she decided that was now or never. She opened the window very slowly and climbed out of it. She could just have flown out of the window, but that would have alerted her family, so she decided against it. She had everything planned. Once down she would go to the back of the house and into the forest to avoid the girl's house. Once there, she would head towards the lake. Everything went as she planned and after a few minutes of running she found herself at the shore of the lake. *He is not here yet* She thought. She noticed how clear the night was considering that there wasn't any moon.
Since she was lost in thought she didn't notice that someone was behind her. She came out of her reverie when strong arms embraced her warmly.
"Usako" Mamoru murmured into Usagi's ear sending shivers thru her body. He turned her around and kissed her on the lips before she could say a word. After a moment, too soon for Usagi's taste, he broke the kiss. He held her possessively, happy of being with her again.
"Mamo-chan" Usagi whispered leaning her head on Mamoru's chest. "I have missed you so much." She said almost crying not letting go of him.
"Shush, don't cry Usako." He said stroking her cheek. "I am here with you now." He said tenderly, hugging her as if he let go she would go away.
"But for how long?" She asked with a quivering voice. "It looks like your father can't stand mine. What are we going to do?!?!" She finished between sobs. (FD "This is starting to sound like a bad 'Romeo and Juliet' rip off. -")
"I really don't know." Admitted Mamoru. "But I can promise you something. I won't permit anything or anybody to stand between us." He grabbed Usagi by her shoulders, very gently as if she was going to break "Nothing," He said looking into her cerulean eyes now tainted with red because of a tear. "No enemies, no problems, no fathers, not even death have the power to keep us apart." He finished vehemently.
"Mamoru" she said taking his face between her hands, caressing his features as if he was a dream. "I believe in you," She said looking back into his midnight blue eyes, "and I love you."
"I love you too." He said taking her hands and giving them a soft squeeze. He leaned forward to kiss her, stopping to trace her lips with his fingers lingeringly.
"Mamo…" Mamoru silenced her with a kiss. He started caressing her back, and deepened the kiss. Usagi was in heaven. With a swift move, Mamoru laid her on the cool grass, and settled on top of her. (WD "Hurray, here comes the steamy part." FD "Steamy part!! Steamy part!!! ^_^" FD does the happy dance WD 0.0 "Oh, wait this fic is only PG, so this can't be a lemon" FD -_-* _ "RATS!!!") Usagi opened her eyes and looked at him, who was looking back at her with lust…(clears throat) I mean lovingly *__*.
When he was about to kiss her again, he felt something grabbing him from behind.
~~~$@~~~$@ At the Son's house ~~~$@~~~$@
Goku woke up with a start. Something was wrong. He got out of the bed very carefully to not disturb Chichi who was deeply asleep. Once outside, he went to the room his sons were sharing. But before he could knock on the door, Gohan came out alarmed.
"Dad, did you feel that?" Gohan asked his father. Behind him was Goten, half asleep, leaning on the door frame.
"Yes, it's a Ki rising rapidly, but I don't know who it belongs to." Goku said confused.
"An enemy?" Asked Goten groggily, while rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands.
"I don't think so." Finished Goku, looking thoughtful. "It could be a friend of the girls that has come from their world." He said trying to explain the strange presence.
"Or Vegeta's son, Mamoru." Said Gohan. At the thought, he looked at his father wide eyed, and as if on cue, both of them headed towards Usagi's room. Goten followed muttering something about 'not being able to sleep in peace' and the like.
~~
Goku knocked at the door a few times, but didn't receive any answer. He opened the door and peered inside.
"Usa?"
No answer.
Opening the door farther he noticed that the room was empty, and the window was wide open.
"Maybe she is with the girls?" asked Goten from behind.
"It could be." Said Goku not very convinced.
"Well," Gohan said "We might as well go and check." They headed towards the girls house that was still lit. That gave Goku a lot of hope. It wasn't that he didn't trust Usagi, or Mamoru for that matter, it was just a bad feeling he had. What if Vegeta found them… he shook his head to dismiss the thought. He didn't even want to think about what would happen to the poor boy if Vegeta got to them before he did.
Gohan saw his father shook his head. He didn't look angry, but nervous. But why? Goten followed them far behind, still half asleep. If Usagi was with Mamoru, it was her business. It was true, she was a little young, but what authority had his father. She had been home for what, a week? And spent a life away from them. Goten liked Usagi, and didn't want to se her in trouble. Too bad his father was acting so overprotective. He kept the same train of thought without knowing what really was going on in his father's mind.
~~
Once in front of the house, they noticed that some lights were still lit inside the house.
"Hey" Said Gohan cheerfully "it looks like they are still up. Probably Usagi is with them sleeping over."
Goku just nodded and knocked at the door.
"Yes?" Ami said pocking her head through the open window. "Oh, hello Goku. Good evening." She finished with a shy smile.
"Could you…" He couldn't finish because someone grabbed Ami form the back getting a 'yelp' from her and howled
"JUST ONE MOMENT!!!" A great amount of activity could be heard inside.
"I think they weren't expecting guests at this hour." Gohan said grinning. Goten started laughing at this.
"Yes," Goku said growing serious "so they weren't expecting anyone with a strange Ki."
At that exact moment, Ami opened the door.
"Hi, sorry to keep you waiting." She said embarrassed. Behind her, the other 3 were behind her trying their best to put everything on order. The whole living room was a disaster; towels, clothes, magazines, and all kind of candy wrappers littered the floor. But the most scary part was the appearances of the three girls behind Ami. Ami was only on her pj's, other than that she looked normal. Minako had avocado mascara all over her face, with small peaces of lemon and cucumber, a pair of orange shorts and a tank top. Rei was wearing hair tubes that made her look like the bride of Frankenstein, wearing a large robe, and Makoto was walking carefully with only her heels and cotton balls in between each of her toes since her toenails were recently painted.
All the guys blinked several times getting out of their shock before remembering why they were in the girl's house. Looking inside Goku couldn't see his daughter anywhere.
"Say girls, is Usagi staying with you tonight?" Gohan asked the disheveled girls.
"Umm…nope. I thought that she was on her room. Why do you ask?" Rei answered.
"We can't seem to find her and we felt a strange Ki rising from-" Goku felt the strange Ki rising again when,
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
Goku, Gohan, Goten, and the girls looked at each other before bolting out the door following the shout.
Fire Dragon "Should I leave it here and continue living you with all the suspense? Umm… Nah…"
~~Meanwhile back with Usagi~~
Usagi reached up to wrap her hands around Mamoru's neck. Grasping thin air she opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she witnessed the scene in front of her. Vegeta had Mamoru pinned to a near by tree. Mamoru was so surprised that was speechless looking disoriented at his father who was growling at him. Vegeta looked furiously at his son.
"I told you to never, ever disobey my orders." He said between his teeth dangerously low. Mamoru seemed to snap out of his trance and narrowed his eyes struggling, trying to get free from Vegeta's grip.
"I do not take orders from anybody." Mamoru retorted using the same tone of voice that Vegeta had used not two seconds ago. Vegeta tightened his grip on Mamoru's neck almost chocking him, his eyes livid fire glaring at his son. Usagi could see Mamoru beginning to turn blue, she had to help him.
"NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~
She scrambled to her feet determinate to help her lover, but stopped when she saw her father, her brothers, and her senshi (although none of them looked very presentable at the moment) arrive at the lake.
~~
Goku was the first to arrive at the clearing, to see Vegeta pinning Mamoru with a murderous look and Usagi ready to jump and help Mamoru. Knowing that Usagi didn't stand a chance against Vegeta he stepped in front of Vegeta.
"Hey Vegeta what's going on?" Goku asked seriously looking Vegeta straight in the eye.
"It's none of your god damned business Kakarott! This is between my brat and me!" Vegeta turned to Mamoru "I told you that during your training there would be NO distractions that would make you weak brat!" Vegeta growled. Struggling harder Mamoru looked into Vegeta's eyes with almost hatred.
"And I told you that I don't receive orders from anybody." Mamoru hissed. Goku stepped closer to them putting a hand on Vegeta's shoulder.
"I think that's enough Vegeta, let Mamoru go." Goku said calmly.
Vegeta shoved Goku's hand with disgust "I told you to stay away Kakarott!"
Mamoru took his opportunity to free himself. In less than a second Mamoru's fist flew directly to Vegeta's face connecting with his jaw. Vegeta lost his valance but recuperated quickly throwing Mamoru one of his own. Everybody (except for Usagi) stood aside not wanting to interfere with their 'disagreement'.
Gohan stood besides his father "He's gotten good." He whispered.
Goku observed the way that Mamoru was fighting with his father. He had definitely improved from the last time he had seen him spar. "Mamoru's good, but Vegeta has a great advantage over him. He has more experience fighting, and he can be a mean fighter with nasty tricks under his sleeve when he wants to." Goku frowned. "He's only playing with him. If Vegeta wanted to end this now Mamoru wouldn't have lasted this long." Goku said watching as Mamoru kneeled Vegeta throwing him several feet away from him. Vegeta stood on one knee throwing Mamoru a weak Ki blast that would only blind Mamoru giving him a good opening for punches.
Mamoru could only feel his father's movements, dodging what would have surely knocked him out he darted to the sky trying to buy some time for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Vegeta soon followed his son in the air.
"I gotta help him!" Usagi cried when she saw Vegeta connecting an uppercut on Mamoru's gut. Taking her henshin brooch out, she transformed into Sailor Moon. When her transformation sequence (ribbons, feathers, you know the drill) ended she found herself restrained by her father's hands.
"Let go daddy, I have to help him" Usagi tried desperately to free herself from her father's grip.
"Oh no you don't Usagi. This is between those two." Goku pointed at Mamoru and Vegeta who where still fighting in the air.
"But-but, he's gonna kill him!!!" Usagi sobbed.
"I don't think so. He knows that Bulma would kill him first." Goku tried to calm her.
~~
Mamoru shot yet another Ki blast at his father, but as all the others was slapped aside by the arrogant prince. Trying to find a weak point and finding none his only resource was to attack head on. 'Well here goes nothing' Mamoru thought grimly launching himself forwards with an amazing speed surprising Vegeta with his bold act. Using the precious seconds of advantage Mamoru connected an uppercut at Vegeta on the stomach. Doubling in pain Vegeta rapidly recuperated disappearing from Mamoru's grasp just to reappear behind him. Using both hands forming a big fist Vegeta let it fly to Mamoru's unguarded back, sending him plummeting to the ground. Leaving a crater where he had landed Mamoru lay unconscious on the soft earth. Vegeta floated to his son and picked him up from his waist.
"Good, but not good enough brat." He said to the unconscious boy. Jumping to the air he flew only god's knows where.
~~
"Noooo…Mamo-chan!!!" Usagi dropped to the floor crying like there was not tomorrow, watching her beloved being taken away from her for the second time since they were here. Goku was about to fly after Vegeta and help Mamoru but decided to go comfort his daughter instead. Placing a hand gently over his daughter's shoulder Goku looked at her.
"C'mon honey, everything will be ok." He smothered her hair while whispering comforting words to her. All the senshi crowded around their friend none too sure of what to do or say. Breaking the uncomfortable silence between them Goku gently pulled Usagi to her feet.
Holding her at arms length Goku looked at her in the eye. "It's ok, when Vegeta comes to his senses, he'll see how stupid he was acting and he'll apologize." Goku said to Usagi who was quietly sobbing now.
Behind them Goten sent a look at Gohan that screamed 'that'll be the day' but preferred to stay quiet while their father was trying his best to console Usagi. Usagi weakly nodded and let him take her home, quickly heading to her room slamming it on the girls faces when they were fizzing around her. Falling on her bed she began crying again.
(FD "sappy huh? I was writing this while hearing 'Rainy Day Man' on my SM CD very depressing.")
*~*~*~
Goku frowned pacing up and down the living room. Goten and Gohan followed his every move with their eyes from the sofa. Suddenly Goku stopped looking directly at them.
"Gohan, why don't you call Bulma and see if Vegeta and Mamoru are there?" Gohan nodded and walked to the phone. Dialing CC's number he was surprised when Bulma answered after 2 rings.
"Hello?" Bulma sounded stressed at the other side of the cord.
"Bulma, it's me Gohan. Have you seen Vegeta and Mamoru?"
"Why yes. I was going to call you about that. Do you know what the heck happened between those two?" Bulma asked interested on whatever information Gohan could provide her with. "Vegeta came throwing down the door not too long ago. The last thing I knew was that he went to Trunk's room ordering him to dress, and then they took off only Kami knows where." Bulma was yelling over the phone not knowing what to do.
"But you say that Trunks went with them?" Gohan asked puzzled.
"Yes ! Vegeta practically dragged him out of the house!!" Bulma said desperately.
"Don't worry Bulma, we'll look for them. And anyways Trunks and Mamoru can take of themselves." Gohan reassured her before hanging the phone.
"Well?" Goku waited impatiently for Gohan to give him the report on what Bulma had said.
"Bulma says that Vegeta went to CC just to pick up Trunks and that they left right after that." Gohan said giving his father a serious look.
Goku frowned trying to figure out what Vegeta could do with his two sons in the middle of the night. When nothing occurred to him he decided to keep looking in the morning.
"It seems that we can't do anything more tonight, so it's better if we go to sleep and start searching for them tomorrow morning." Goku said tiredly. Nodding Gohan and Goten went to their room and feel asleep.
