Chapter 6: Close Call
Cheena tossed and turned before finally sitting up. Looking around, she noticed everyone looking at her.
"Good, you've woken up. We were thinking we'd have to wake you up soon" Dayton said as he sat on the couch. Cheena just looked at him as she rubbed her eyes. Standing up, she dusted herself off.
"What are you doing kid?" Reshine asked as he watched her. Stopping what she was doing, Cheena glared at him.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" she snapped. Reshine growled as he took a step towards her but Ryoe put his hand out to block him.
"What are you stopping me for? That runt should be taught a lesson" Reshine said. Ryoe just looked at him then at Dayton.
"Ryoe's right! Leave her alone. She's new so cut her some slack. I like her attitude. Fits in well with us" he said as he folded his arms across his chest and looked at Cheena. She just looked at him then at everyone else.
"Can we go eat now? I'm really hungry" Skier said as she held her stomach. Dayton nodded as he walked over to her.
"Ok, you all know what to do so go and do it. Cheena, we all go out either as teams or alone. We grab what we want to eat and we come back here. Maybe I should partner you up with someone since you are new" he said.
"I don't need a partner. I can take care of myself" Cheena said. Dayton smiled as he walked over to her.
"I know you can but you don't know how things work. Just for now, you'll be paired up with Keal" he said. Cheena's mouth dropped as she looked over at Keal who had the same expression on his face like she did.
"Have you lost your mind? I am not partnering up with that girl! No way!" Keal shouted.
"You have no choice! We're all budding up for the night. Skier, you're with me, Reshine and Ryoe, you two are together and Keal you and Cheena are paired up" Dayton said. Growling, Keal stormed over to Dayton and grabbed him by his shirt.
"I am not tagging with a baby" he yelled. Cheena growled as she glared at him.
"You're the one complaining so maybe you're the baby" she said. Growling louder, Keal let go of Dayton's shirt and glared at Cheena.
"You little runt!" he yelled. Cheena just smirked.
"Enough! You are her partner so get out of here and go get something to eat, unless you're not hungry?" Dayton shouted as he walked over to Skier. Keal growled as he looked at Cheena.
"Let's go you little brat" he said. Cheena stuck her tongue out at him and walked towards the front door. Opening it, she quickly left with Keal mumbling under his breath behind her.
"Cheena!" Gohi yelled before he sat down on a bench. Sighing, he ran his hand over his hair.
"I can't believe this. I can't sense her and I can't find her. I mean, where could she have gone? She's just a kid" he said as he sat back on the bench.
"There are a lot of places she could be" said a voice. Looking in front of him, Gohi saw Shampoo looking at him. Rolling his eyes, he looked away.
"I ran into Gohan and Videl trying to look for you" she said. Gohi quickly looked at her.
"What did you say to him?" he asked. Sitting down beside him, Shampoo looked at him.
"You told him that Cheena and Goten were with me, didn't you?" she asked. Gohi just stared at her waiting to hear what she said to Gohan.
"I told him my mom was looking after them while I quickly went to pick something up from the store. He asked me why didn't I take them along and I told him that they were in time out for fighting in the house. He said he'd be by later to pick them up" she said. Gohi just grumbled as he looked ahead of him.
"Gohan is going to get on my case about this if he finds out what happened" he said.
"Then why are we sitting here? Let's start looking for her" Shampoo said. Gohi looked at her for awhile.
"I thought you said I had to find her on my own? I thought you were mad at me?" he asked.
"I am mad at you but I want to find Cheena and I am. The fact that you are doing the same means nothing" Shampoo said. Gohi just smirked as he looked at her. Standing up he started to walk. Shampoo watched him go before following after him.
Keal continued to mumbled under his breath as he looked at Cheena. Cheena just walked in front of him as they walked out of the alley and onto the busy street.
"Where do we go now?" Cheena asked as she looked around. Keal just rolled his eyes as he walked down the street.
"Go get what you want to eat and met me here in an hour. If it takes you longer then that then you got caught...I hope you do get caught" he said as he walked off. Cheena glared at him before she took off opposite him.
"What am I going to eat?" Cheena said to herself as she walked around. Noticing a few stores, she smiled as she looked at a pizza store.
"Pizza sounds nice but...can I actually steal it? What if Keal is right? What if I get caught?" she asked herself as she watched people walk out of the store. Looking in, she noticed a few people talking at a table and others waiting for their pizza. Her mouth watered as she looked at the man behind the counter hand a young woman a slice of pizza.
"I want this but how do I take it?" Cheena said as she watched the woman walk out of the store. Looking back in the store, Cheena watched as a man walked to the counter.
"I'll have a large pie" he said.
"You'll have to wait an hour" the man behind the counter said. Cheena smirked as she looked at the watch on her wrist.
"Then I'll be back in an hour" she said as she took off down the street.
"Cheena, where are you? Its me Shampoo!" Shampoo yelled as she continued on down the street. Looking over at her right, she noticed Gohi looking down at the ground.
"You don't expect me to call her all by myself do you?" she asked him. Gohi just looked at her for awhile before he responded.
"Why not? I called for her all day" he said. Shampoo just growled as she started to walk off.
"CHEENA!" she yelled as she continued down the street. Gohi just smirked as he followed after her.
Holding her jacket close to her body, Cheena walked down the street. Placing her hands in her pocket, she quickly pulled out a can of soda then put it back in.
*I can't believe I just stole this* she said to herself as she looked at her watch. Walking back to the pizza shop, she looked to see a box of pizza sitting on the counter.
*It must have been done early then expected* Cheena said to herself. Looking around, she noticed everyone talking or busy doing other things. Walking into the store, she kept to the side, so not to be seen. Looking above her, she saw the box of pizza just sitting there.
*It smells good* she said as she wiped her mouth and stared at the box. Looking around, she quickly lifted off the ground. Keeping her eyes on everyone, she quickly grabbed the box and flew back down to the ground.
*I did it?* she asked herself as she looked at the pizza box in her hands. Smiling, she quickly ran out of the store and down the street.
"I DID IT!" she yelled as she slowly stopped running and started to walk again. A smile was on her face as she walked towards the alley where she was suppose to meet Keal. She smiled as she saw him walk towards her. His mouth was wide open as he saw what she had in her hands.
"How did you get that?" he yelled as he stared at her. Cheena just smiled as she looked at what he had.
"What did you get?" she asked. Keal just stared at the box of pizza before snapping out of it and answering.
"Just..just a sandwich...how did you manage to swipe a whole pizza? I tried that once and almost got caught so I had to leave it" he said. Cheena just laughed as she held onto the pizza box.
"You have to have skills" she said. Keal just stared at her.
"She has to be around here somewhere" Shampoo said as she continued to look. Turning a corner, she quickly stopped. Gohi just stared at her with a frown on his face.
"What are you stopping for?" he asked. Shampoo remained quiet as she pointed in front of her. Gohi looked to see Cheena and Keal a few feet away.
"Now Gohi, don't go and..." Shampoo started to say.
"CHEENA!!!!" Gohi yelled as he took off down the street. Turning around quickly, Cheena's mouth fell open as she saw Gohi charging towards her.
"Oh no! C'mon Keal! We have to go!" she yelled as she took off down the alley. Keal looked at Gohi then at Cheena as he took off after her. Gohi growled as he slid in front of the alley. Looking in, he saw Cheena and Keal continue to run.
"Cheena! Stop now!" he yelled as he ran into the alley after them. Cheena just ran as she held onto the pizza box.
"Who is that?" Keal asked as he continued to run.
"My brother! Just run!" Cheena said as she turned into another alley and continued to run. Keal just looked at Cheena before grabbing her arm.
"What are you doing? We have to run" Cheena said as she tried to pull away but Keal pulled her to the side.
"Be quiet!" he said as he walked to the side and opened a door. Pushing Cheena in, he followed, closing the door half way behind him. Gohi turned the corner then stopped.
"Where did she go?" he said as he looked around.
"CHEENA!!!" he yelled as he looked in the dumpster nearby. Keal placed his hand over Cheena's mouth as he watched Gohi search around. Slamming the lid on the dumpster, Gohi screamed.
"DAMN IT!" he yelled as he kicked the dumpster putting a dent in it. Growling, he walked back the way he came. Waiting a few minutes, Keal and Cheena emerged from the small room.
"How'd you know that was there?" Cheena asked as she looked at Keal.
"I've done some running away from people before. This is where you go to keep yourself from getting caught' Keal said. Cheena laughed then looked herself over.
"I'm a little dirty" she said. Keal just laughed as he started off down the alley.
"Let's go princess of the clean world, we better get back" he said. Cheena just smiled as she looked at him.
*He's not half bad* she said to herself.
"And you do know that you are giving me a slice of pizza for helping you out, right?" he said as he continued to walk. Cheena just laughed as she ran to catch up to him.
*Then again, I could be wrong* she said to herself as she walked beside him, back to the hangout.
Coming out of the alley, Gohi saw Shampoo standing there glaring at him.
"Don't say a word" he said as he walked up to her.
"I was going to tell you not to yell cause she'd run but you being the genius that you are..." she started before Gohi growled.
"She got away from me this time but she won't get away again" he said as he walked off. Shampoo just watched him go before she slowly followed after him.
