Chapter five: Torn by day, united by night
I looked up and heard a war cry. A purple haired man was flying towards us. I realized a split second before Ven. I threw myself at him, shoving him out of the way. Of course this put my in the line of fire.
Some one who was obviously a lot rougher than Ven sent a fist straight into my back, narrowly missing my spine. I heard a grunt of surprise and I was pulled to my feet before I even his the ground. I screamed, it hurt like
"Run! While you still can!"
I was set on my feet by a very hot guy, hot in a different sort of way to Ven. He was not exactly tall, but taller than me, but then again I was even shorter than Ven, who was small and slender by his very design. He had long purple hair and looked as if he needed a shower and a shave. He was wearing a purple jacket with a weird logo on it and loosely fitted pants.
I staggered back a few feet. Ven was on his feet. I nodded in answer to his silent question, I was fine.
I wasn't really but he didn't know that, besides, it wasn't as if Ven would rush to my defense, even if this was just what I had done. Ven didn't believe in heroism, certainly he would help me if he found me beaten to a pulp on the ground, he would have taken me to my home and left most likely, unless of course he was in a mood to help. But Ven never stuck his neck out for anyone, if he was feeling generous then you were lucky. Fair enough really, I had understood this from the minute I met him, Ven also didn't believe in gratitude. We shared many of the same attributes in that area. Look out for number one, and help out your other half if you have the time.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" I demanded of the purple haired man, he turned to scowl at me, I was not so much worried for Ven, he could take care of himself, I was just severely annoyed at how much my entire back hurt
"Get away from here! I won't tell you again!" his voice was urgent, I growled loudly
"You are really asking for it bastard" I snarled

I realized Mei would stand no chance against Trunks. I didn't want her to get in the way.
"Go!" I ordered, she answered with a scowl and tackled an unsuspecting Trunks.
I blinked in surprise as she caught him in the same hold she had me in only seconds ago. Physically she was actually only slightly weaker than myself, but she lacked precision in her movements and was rather slow for one of such obvious strength.
Her teeth were bared as she hung on. I could see her moccasins digging deep into the earth as she held Trunks
*
"I'll ask you again," I growled
"Who the hell do you think you are" I was answered by a similar growl
"The defender of this planet!" I was suddenly flipped into the ground, which was surprisingly hard
"If you aren't with us, you're with him!" he spat, pointing at Ven, I didn't stop to consider what he was talking about
"I don't care who you are" I growled as I flipped to my feet
"But you don't just go around attacking people for no reason"
"Mei! Get out of here! NOW!" I blinked at Ven
"Why?"
"I'll explain later"
I nodded, I understood his tone. I took a few steps back so I was beside him.
*
She was breaking into a run as she broke the rough kiss she gave me. There was nothing gentle about either of us.
I turned to face a demi saijin somewhere between confusion and determination
