*~*Chapter 7*~*
The sun peeked over the horizon as its rays filled the sky with new light, bringing on a new day for all to enjoy.
Usagi awoke as the light filled her room. She groaned as she slowly sat upright in her bed, refreshed and no longer sore from yesterday's events...although she was still sleepy.
'Ugh, what time is it?' she thought as she squinted at the clock. '7:30?! I don't have anything to do today, I'm going back to bed' She proceeded to pull the covers over her head, planning to continue her sleep, but a faint burning smell filled her senses before she could finish
'Nani? What is that??' she slid from her bed, glancing at the mirror at the side of the room. She stopped suddenly and ran back to the mirror "Wow, what a mess" she stated as she attempted to tame her wild looking hair. She noticed that her odango hairstyle didn't even survive the night, as the hairs stuck up from her head. 'I flattened them pretty well, guess it teaches me to take them out before I go to sleep' she thought as she poked at them. Bringing forth a brush from her sub-space pocket, she quickly brushed out her hair, and re-did her odangos. 'There! All done! Now to see what that smell was!'
Usagi proceeded to walk out of her room to investigate the mysterious smell, but regretted it as soon as she set one foot outside her room. The smell was terrible! It was spread throughout the hall. It was like something had died and no one had cleaned whatever it was up! She almost fell backwards from the 'force' of the smell, had there not been a wall in her way.
'What is that?!' her mind screamed as she made her way to the kitchen.
Her question was answered as she saw a flour-covered Gohan, in front of a smoking stove, in deep concentration attempting to cook something. The pan that was on the stove, suddenly burst into flames, dying down as quickly as it had occurred, leaving a now flour-covered, and singed Gohan in front of smoking stove with a now ruined pan in his hand, with a dazed look on his face.
Usagi rushed to his side once the flames had cleared. "Gohan! Daijoubu ka??" she asked with worry.
Gohan, who hadn't realized that Usagi was there, jumped at the sound of her voice almost striking her with the scorched pan. "Oh! Usagi! Hai, Daijoubu. This happens all the time" he replied motioning with his free hand at the stove.
"Soo ka?"
"Hai, I've ruined a lot of pans while trying to cook"
"Why don't you let your tousan cook?"
An embarrassed look appeared on his face "Ano...he's worse than me! He almost burned down the kitchen while trying to cook!"
Usagi had to stifle her giggles "So I take it that neither of you know how to cook?"
"Iie. Demo, Bulma-san tried to teach us once, but we only succeeded in ruining her kitchen, and making Vegita really angry."
Usagi could no longer hold back her giggles "Ano, what were you trying to cook?" she asked through her giggles.
"Pancakes" he replied, motioning to a plate piled with slightly burned pancakes at the side of the stove. "Want to try some?"
Usagi was hesitant; she didn't really like the look of those pancakes...they looked like something she would have made a long time ago. She was going to say no, but as soon as she turned back to Gohan, he had the most hopeful look on his face 'Oh no, the puppy dog face. I didn't know guys could do that! Oh well, never judge something by its looks'
"Sure Gohan, I'll try one" she said with a sigh.
"Soo ka?!" he asked as he brought out another plate from the cupboard
"Hai"
'Wow, she must be braver than I thought' Gohan thought as he proceeded to put a pancake with syrup onto a plate. He handed it to her with a fork. "Tell me what you think"
Usagi took a small bite from it, and immediately wanted to spit it out, but not wanting to be rude, she swallowed it. 'Ugh, what did he do to these?'
"So?" he asked
"Ano...it was ok, but tell me, how much sugar did you use?"
"I think about a cup" he replied, a bit confused by her questions
"How about salt?"
"Salt? I don't think I....Oh, I got them mixed up again didn't I" he replied, his face turning red with embarrassment
"Hai, I think so" 'Again?!'
Gohan sighed as he threw the rest of the pancakes away along with the remains of the pan, "Gomen Usagi, I'm afraid that I've ruined breakfast again"
"Daijoubu Gohan, if you want, I could make breakfast"
"Iie! You're the guest!" he protested
"I don't mind, think of it as payment for letting me stay here"
"Are you sure?"
"Hai, I am. Now tell me, where can I get another pan and cooking supplies?"
"The remaining pans are in that cupboard over there" he replied while pointing to the large cupboard "and the ingredients are on the counter, demo you might want to get the sugar, instead of using the salt" he finished as he brought out a bag of sugar.
"Arigato, now I think you better go clean up before your tousan sees you!" She exclaimed as she pointed to the direction of the bathroom.
"Hai, I think you're right, demo are you sure you want to do this?"
"Saa, I'm sure! Now go get cleaned up!"
Gohan nodded and proceeded to walk out of the kitchen, or rather the disaster area for him and his father, glancing once more at Usagi 'I hope she knows what she's doing!' he thought as he made his way up the stairs.
Usagi sighed as she looked around the kitchen 'I wonder how these two survived without anyone to help them cook' she shrugged to herself 'Oh well, might as well start cooking.
*~*Meanwhile somewhere dark and scary*~*
"Master, I think I may have found one of them" said a man kneeling in front of a shadowy throne.
"Then what are you waiting for?!" a voice screeched from the throne "You're not going to get anything done by just sitting here! Now go!" it demanded
"Hai, as you wish master" said the man as he rose from his position. "I will send someone to get her"
The figure nodded "Good. Do not fail me Mamoru, you know what will happen if you do"
"Hai master" he responded, bowing once more before taking his leave
*~*Back at the Son household*~*
Goku awoke to the aroma of delicious food 'Mm, what smells so good? Maybe Gohan hasn't blown up the kitchen for once' he thought as he slid from his bed. He would have walked right out of his bedroom door in just his boxer shorts, had he not remembered that they had a guest at their house. 'Oh, I suppose I better get dressed. Don't want Usagi to see me in just this.... Again' the very thought made his face warm as he dressed himself.
Back in the kitchen, Usagi watched with wide eyes as Gohan gulped down 2-dozen pancakes.
"Wow Usagi! These are really good!" he said in-between bites, never actually slowing his pace
"Doomo Gohan!" she replied as she turned back to the stove and flipped more pancakes. 'If he can eat that much, then what about Goku?! Demo, I wonder if I looked like that whenever I ate'
"Wow, what smells so good?" asked Goku asked entered the kitchen.
"Ohayoo gozaimasu Goku!" exclaimed Usagi, as she glanced to the side "Did you sleep well last night?" She turned away from him as she felt her cheeks grow warm slightly at the thought of what she had seen last night. (AN: heehee)
"Hai I did" he replied surprised, noticing her for the first time "You're the one cooking for us today?"
"Hai"
"Doushite? I thought Gohan was"
"Hai, he was when I walked in today, demo he wasn't doing to well. He ruined one of the pans"
"Oh, demo guests aren't supposed to cook!"
"Daijoubu! Think of it as payment for letting me stay here"
"Soo ka?"
"Hai"
"Alright" he replied, and then he laughed as he sat down at the table "I thought that Gohan didn't ruin the kitchen for once since I didn't smell anything burning!"
Usagi giggled as she set a large stack of pancakes in front of him " He told me that neither of you can cook"
"Hai, it's true" he said as he dug into the food. "Wow, these are really good!" he said as he continued eating
Usagi continued to watch both men eat like there was no tomorrow 'I was lead to believe that Sayins could eat a lot, demo I never would have thought that they could eat this much! He looks like he is even going to eat the table at his pace!' she thought as she watched Goku 'I don't really mind though.... He looks kind of cute while he eats...wait...cute?!'
"Ano Usagi?"
"Hai Gohan?" she asked as she snapped out of her thoughts
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Usagi thought for a moment "Hai, I guess I will" she replied as she put a couple pancakes on her plate 'Even though I don't have to eat, it's still nice to once in awhile'
"So Usagi, where did you learn how to cook?"
"My friend taught me" she replied as she thought of Mako-chan 'I wonder where she is'
"I actually used to be like you guys, never able to cook anything. Demo, my friends almost always ate whatever I made, even if it tasted terrible."
*~*Flashback*~*
"Ossu Minako! I made some soup for you since your sick"
"Oh Usa, you really didn't-"
"Daijoubu! Now here try some!" she exclaimed as she shoved the spoon into Minako's mouth
"Mmmph!" came Minako's reply as the spoon suddenly entered her mouth. The expression on her face changed from surprise, to a sour one, as she tasted the soup.
"So? What do you think of my cooking Mina?" she asked with hope in her eyes
"Ano...it's uh really good!" she replied as she took the spoon out of her mouth
*~*End flashback*~*
"You miss your friends don't you?" asked Gohan as he saw the sad smile on her face
"Hai I do" she answered as she finished up the rest of the food on her plate. "Goku?"
"Hai?"
"Aren't we supposed to go back to Capsule Corps to see Bulma-san?"
"Oh! That's right, I forgot" he replied as he finished off his pancakes. "Well, let's leave in, 20 minutes?"
" Alright!" she exclaimed as she put away her dishes and started to walk back up to her room. "See you in 20 minutes!"
*~*20 minutes later*~*
Usagi skipped down the stairs, wearing the same sweatshirt and jeans she had worn the day before. She didn't want them to see the bandages that covered her arms and legs. She had decided to leave them on until she saw Bulma.
"Ready to go Usagi?" asked Goku as she appeared in the living room
"Hai!" she exclaimed "Let's get going!"
They all walked outside, Goku and Gohan behind Usagi
"Hey tousan!" whispered Gohan as he tugged on his fathers arm
"Hai?"
"Remember to use Nimbus this time!" he reminded him.
Goku sighed. Sometimes it wasn't the best thing to have your young son around. "Hai Gohan, I remember" He turned back to Usagi.
"You can ride Nimbus this time" he said to her
"Nimbus?"
"Hai" he replied as he turned to the sky "HEY! FLYING NIMBUS!!" he called out
Usagi fell to the ground with a yelp, startled by his sudden shouting. Her ears hurt now.
"Gomen Usagi! I didn't mean to scare you!" Goku exclaimed when he saw her sprawled out on the ground
"It's alright" she replied as got up and dusted herself off. When she looked back up, she saw a little yellow cloud floating there. "That's Nimbus?"
"Hai!"
"Ano...Is it safe?" she was slightly scared.
"Saa, as long as you have a pure heart, then it's safe." 'Now I can see if she has a pure heart or not.'
Usagi shrugged as she got onto the cloud 'A pure heart? Reminds me of the heart snatchers...it seems like it was yesterday that I fought them'
As soon as she had settled herself onto the little yellow cloud, both Goku and Gohan jumped into the air and started flying in the direction of Capsule corps with Usagi not far behind.
After what seems like just a few seconds to Usagi, they reached Capsule Corps. Before the little yellow cloud had a chance to fly her all the way to land, she jumped off from her spot and landed gracefully on the ground a few meters away from the main entrance to the building 'I guess my strength has returned or I would have fallen flat on my face'
"Usagi!" called Goku "Daijoubu ka?"
"Daijoubu! Just testing my strength" she replied to the man above her
'wow, she recovered really quickly, if I was as beat up as her I would be down for days!' he thought as he reached the ground with Gohan
"Hey tousan! All the zsenshi are here!" exclaimed Gohan as he felt all their ki's.
"Guess they all want to know what is going on " he replied as he looked at Usagi's expression, which was now blank 'don't they want to tell us?'
'I need to talk to Michiko. I really don't want to tell them unless necessary' She turned and walked to the entrance of C.C. leaving the two behind in a strange silence.
Gohan looked at his dad, wondering what was wrong with Usagi. Goku mearly shrugged when he saw the question in his son's eyes. They proceeded to follow her into the building, when a screams from inside ripped through the silence between them...
