Raylin: This is just to tell all of you suspicious people out there that I
don't own DBZ or any other best-selling series of any kind. So would you
stop sending your lawyers to my front door!
Chapter Five
Earlier . . .
I unconsciously knelt again and my hands went to their previous position. This time, I let myself do these things by itself. I wanted to see what happened next.
My arms spread and embraced the sunlight. Slowly, my hands dropped to the ground and I sifted dirt through my fingers. My tail twisted suddenly and where it touched, there was a small spring bubbling up. It died down quickly, but a spot remained damp.
I opened my eyes and relaxed. I had turned went I knelt and I now faced the house. My hands suddenly tingled and I didn't recognize the feeling of a ki blast forming in them before it was too late. An enormous energy blast burst out of my hands and it was aimed right at the house.
"Ahhhhhh! Nooooooo!" I yelled and tried to pull the ki blast up, but it was stuck on its course. There was an annoying little voice in my head going, "Pull up. Pull up," like that monotonous voice on those boring flying games. It was pointless and vain. The blast crashed into the roof, blowing it to smithereens.
A collection of screams, shrieks, and curses floated up through the gap that was once the roof. I winced and tried to hide behind a tree. Too late. Piccolo, Goku, and everyone but Chichi flew up through the gigantic hole. Chichi stormed to the doorway and started yelling while she walked to me. Keecha touched down softly behind me and Kisike laughed on my right.
"Do it again! That was fun!" Kisike said.
"You, young lady, are mischief. Look at my beautiful house! Just look at it! Ashes and rubble! Nothing left but bits and pieces! Bits and pieces I tell you! Bits and PIECES!" screamed Chichi.
"Today is my birthday," I said, not affected by Chichi's actions.
"BIRTH-DAE! BIRTHYDAY! Cake! Ice cream! ICE CREAM! SUGAR!!!!! CAFEEEEEEEEEEEEINE!!!!!! HYPER! SUGAR HYPER! SUGAR RUSH! BRAIN FREEZE! And al of the wonderful things that come with ice cream.. SUGAR! Sugar rush! I'm hyper on phantom sugar! WEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
"I don't care if it's Christmas! My house is-" Chichi was interrupted.
"Christmas! PRESENTS! COOKIES!" yelled Kisike, running around in circles.
"Would you be QUIET? I am trying to yell at Raylin for blowing up the house! So stop interrupting me! NOW!" screamed Chichi at Kisike.
A normal child would be in tears from Chichi's speech but Kisike just said okay and ran around in smaller circles while only snapping her fingers and whispering her exclamations. Chichi saw how useless it would be to bellow at Kisike again and just settled for her current actions.
"Tell me why you blew up my roof!" barked Chichi.
"I didn't mean to. The ki blast formed in my hands by itself and I couldn't control it. I can normally direct the energy, but I just couldn't on that one. See?" I made a small ki blast and shot it at Keecha. I told it to hover there, 2 inches in front of her face. She acted surprised, but didn't flinch. After a few moments, I twisted my hand and it vanished.
"See?" I said again. Chichi still looked at me suspiciously. "I'm sorry I blew up your house. I'm sorry I was the cause of the blown up the kitchen wall," I said, trying to end this argument so I could go inside and eat. I was ravenous, especially after the very large, very powerful ki blast.
"Speaking of which, Piccolo, I need to talk to you alone, away from the children." Chichi had a devilish look on her face and I did not envy Piccolo.
"Are you hungry now, Raylin?" said Gohan.
"Am I ever!" I ran for the house and ran inside. The others flew over the walls.
"Don't you know how to fly yet?" asked Amanda snidely.
"No. Cooler didn't think it was important. But maybe it was important . . . "I trailed off, thinking.
"We can teach you after lunch," said Keecha. "But for now, let's eat!"
We stuffed ourselves until we could hold no more, and then went onto the front lawn. Chichi was there with Piccolo, who looked about ready to die. Chichi was giving him a tongue-lashing like you wouldn't believe.
Gohan, Keecha, Kisike and I giggled at Piccolo's predicament. Amanda glared. After watching Chichi dish it out, we stretched and prepared for training. By the time we were ready for sparring, Chichi had blown all of the hot air out and had receded into the house. Piccolo came over. He looked exhausted.
"How was it?" asked Kisike.
"Worse than usual," replied Piccolo.
"That has got to hurt," said Amanda spitefully. Piccolo just glared at her.
"I bet the situation wasn't any better with Raylin blowing up the roof and all." I reacted to Amanda by punching her. In the face. I had had enough of this mood.
Kisike cheered, Keecha stared, and Gohan sweat dropped.
"What was that for?" said Amanda.
"You've been acting mean all morning. Now snap out of it!" I shot back.
"NEVAH!" yelled Amanda as she ran towards me with fists flying. They were easy to block, since she was in a rage and couldn't quite concentrate. Every move she made was fruitless and eventually she just tired herself out.
"Are you done yet?" I asked, bending over the drained Amanda.
"Auugghh! You wish!" she roared and jumped up to meet me with her fist.
I quickly grabbed her shoulder with my right hand, her middle with my left and flipped her. I caught her ankle as she came down and held her in midair. It was the same move Piccolo had used to neutralize me.
"You learn quickly," whispered Piccolo in my ear. He must have snuck up on me while I was busy with Amanda.
"Let. Me. DOWN!" howled Amanda, her face red.
"Only if you promise not to be mean," said Kisike in a parental tone.
"Okay, okay. You can put me down now," sighed Amanda. I slowly lowered her until her outstretched hands touched the ground. Amanda rolled to her feet and dusted herself off while trying to look intimidating. It wasn't very successful.
"Do you want to learn how to fly?" asked Keecha.
