Woman's Work

Chapter 2: Culture Shock

A DBZ fanfiction by Rivka Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah

A/N: Okay, so you toughed it out through the first chappie. Pat yourself on the back. This will be an uncomfortable, and for some, disturbing fanfiction piece, so hang on tight if you are a.) an obsessive Kaiooshin fangirl, b.) a religious conformist/"born-again", or c.) a person with absolutely no sense of humor. The ride may be bumpy for you- grab your puke bags! –Rivka

Surely the structure resembled the Tenkai, but it wasn't the Tenkai the two girls were familiar with. Instead of Namek-see-jin, there stood two human boys, looking about eighteen or nineteen, one of each of their elbows interlocked, seemingly never to be released from the grip of the other boy. The one on the left had short-cropped light red hair, shimmering blue-gray eyes, and wore a white Chinese tunic with a picture of the Sun on it. The other boy was dark, with black hair and eyes, his hair in a ponytail behind his neck, and wore a dark-gray tunic with the Moon and a single star upon it.

Aoi could tell that they were very closely bonded. Perhaps another pair like her parents…?

A brilliant presence of ki startled the goddess from behind. She turned to find a very short Chinese-looking woman, not much over four feet tall, with deep aqua hair in Chun-Li buns and almond-shaped black eyes. She was wearing a red tunic with the kanji for "water" on it inscribed in blue, the same blue as her pants. She was floating as if by telekinesis…

"So, you are the Goddess with Two Fathers?" she asked.

"What does THAT have to do with anything, the fact I have two male parents?" Aoi screamed, her back tense with anger.

"Sheesh, get a grip!" The short woman crossed her arms. "That is how I know you. Not many people, or gods for that matter, have two biological fathers here. Two biological mothers, I have heard of, but that is a thing of mortals in this Universe. No god is born of two parents of the same sex."

"Maybe you should calm down, Aoi…" gasped Marron. "Things are different here."

Aoi grunted, still angry about how someone could insult her fathers at a time like this. "How would you know that, LADY??" she huffed at the blue-haired woman.

"Well, if you don't mind, I am Suika, the supreme goddess of this Universe. And don't tell me how short my physical body is, because I already know! And I know you're terribly tall for a girl!"

"She knows that!" said Marron. "You'd be tall too if one of your parents was nine foot!"

"My, you're a brazen mortal…lots of ki, too, but untapped," Suika-sama sighed. "Your name, if I may ask?"

"You're a goddess. Aren't you supposed to know my name?" the blonde retorted.

"I only know the names of those in this Universe. Sorry. So tell me!"

The Kuri girl sighed. "Marron Kuri."

"And the goddess? I didn't catch yours, I was kind of busy with galactic destruction, black holes, that sort of thing."

Aoi breathed deeply. This was a chance to introduce herself formally for the first time outside of the practice on Kaiooshin-kai. "I am Aoi, granddaughter of Midori, granddaughter of Ki'iroko, the Goddess with Two Fathers and the Kaiooshin of the Western Quadrant of my Universe." Everything was smoothly rehearsed, except for the "Goddess with Two Fathers" bit, which she decided to add in this Universe for extra identification.

"Greetings, Aoi." Suika shook her hand. "These are Akira, Lord of the Sun, and Yuugure, Lord of Twilight…"

Aoi blushed. "Are they…umm…together?"

Suika-sama was staring at her with what could only be described as a death glare. "No. that stuff is for mortals. If it were among the gods here, all Hell would break loose. I have a hard time enough with a religion called 'Catholicism' and all the scandal caused by priests with altar boys!" Her arms were akimbo, fists clenched tightly into her sides.

Aoi decided to death-glare Suika back, but Marron interrupted them. "Please! Put aside your differences!"

"All right," both grumbled.

"Okay, so you want a straight answer. Akira and Yuugure there aren't mated; they're twins. My twin sons. And you may marry them if you like if you two complete your mission…"

"Moth-ER!" exclaimed Akira. "My brother and I have better things to do than be constantly occupied by a female!"

"Agreed," sighed Yuugure. "All that matters is the Earth below, not a foolish woman."

"Guys, lighten up!" screamed their mother. "We all KNOW you want to get your freak on with these lovely ladies! After all, you two are MY boys, and I'll be damned if you don't take after ME in this respect!" She did a few fake pelvic thrusts to drive her point home, which made the boys yell and the girls sweat-drop.

"Umm, if we DO decide to take up your offer, we'll let you know," sighed Aoi. "Now what is it we have to do?"

"Go down to Earth, OUR Earth. There is serious trouble afoot, and it is caused by ravenous fangirls of your father's…I mean East Kaiooshin's. Also, I can sense Akuma, Queen of Demons, is among them, in disguise. She may be behind this whole thing."

"Akuma? Is she like Dabra in our Universe?"

Suika thought a bit, and then recognized Dabra's name. "From what I know, Aoi, yes, she is. But female demons are much more sadistic, sexual, and ruthless than their male counterparts in any dimension. This is not helped by the fact that she is experiencing the Ten Thousand."

"What is THAT?" screamed Marron.

"It is a euphenism for Akuma's ovulation, which only occurs every 10,000 years. Unfortunately, this is her year, which means she's looking for a mate. Any mate. But she has her sights set on the shorter of your fathers, which she learned about off of the TV…"

"Huh?" Aoi scratched her head.

"I am the personal muse to one Toriyama Akira, a Japanese man who draws comics. He knows much of your world, but things change through dimensions. It was made into an animated show, this comic, and has many loyal fans. But when it came to the country called the United States, the series with your fathers in it, it incited pandemonium. Every girl and their mother was saying they wanted to have a piece of the Kaiooshin-sama pie, if you know what I mean."

Aoi gasped. Surely her father was not meant to be a sexual object. "You kid me."

"I do not kid, girl. And I think Akuma is in the States, disguised as a fangirl. Go down at once, and if things get rough, come back here." Suika smiled.

Aoi grabbed Marron and "kai-kai"ed to the surface, to the United States.
