Chapter 9: The Raid
Shampoo kept her head down as she walked down the street. Occasionally she would look up just in time to see a few people glaring in her direction. It wasn't her they were glaring at but Gohi.
"Would you return back to normal? People don't want to see you as a Super Saiyan" she said as she glared at him. Gohi growled at each person who gave him a look.
"Then they should look away. I'm not changing for anyone" he spat as he saw two kids walking towards him.
"Cool costume man" one of them said. Gohi glared at him before pointing his palm at them both.
"Get away from me" he yelled as a ki blast appeared in his hand. The guys eyes went wide as they ran away.
"Would you stop that. You're drawing tons of unwanted attention" Shampoo said as she glared at him. Gohi glared at her before folding his arms across his chest.
"I can't believe she got away from me. What is the matter with her. I have better things to do then chase her little butt around town" he said.
"Well you are the one who made her leave in the first place" Shampoo said. Stopping in his tracks, Gohi immediately looked at Shampoo.
"Did I tell her to leave? Did I tell her to get out of the house, go and steal and ignore me when I'm talking to her? No, I did not" he snapped.
"Well you might as well as said those things to her. She heard what you said about her and it hurt her" Shampoo said.
"So what! She's a kid, she'll get over it" Gohi said. Shampoo growled as she put her hands on her hips.
"Now I see why she left" she snapped as she walked off. Powering down, Gohi stared at her.
"And what is that suppose to mean?" he yelled as he threw his arms out wide. Shampoo turned her nose up into the air as she walked on. Gohi growled as he folded his arms across his chest.
"And what the hell are you looking at?" he yelled at people who were staring at him. Quickly they ran off as Gohi walked on after Shampoo.
"Where are you going?" he asked as he glanced up at her.
"Why do you care?" Shampoo snapped as she continued on. Gohi laughed as he followed after her.
"I don't, I was just asking" he said with a smirk on his face. Turning towards him, Shampoo was about to speak when yelling near her silenced her almost immediately.
"That is the 10th time this week we've had someone have something stolen from them" a cop said as he talked to his partner.
"Same thing every time. A bunch of kids are always seen hanging around the stores that were robbed" the woman next to him said. Her partner laughed as he looked at her.
"It doesn't matter. We've been searching for these hooligans for some time now and we're getting close. When we get a hold of those little crooks, we'll throw their little butts in juvenile hall for the rest of their lives" he said. The woman laughed as she walked towards the squad car with her partner beside her. Shampoo watched them go before turning towards Gohi.
"We have to get to Cheena before the cops do" she said. Gohi laughed as he looked at Shampoo.
"Why should we go and do that? You heard what they said. Their going to give her a great home when this is all said and done" he said. Shampoo stared at him for awhile before laughing. Walking over to him, she placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"That's thoughtful of you to say that. You know, I wonder where you'll be staying once your parents get back. If you want to find her, I think its time we did it the smart way" she said as she walked by him. Gohi looked at her through the corner of his eye before sighing.
"Whatever, but when I find her I'm going to kill her" he said as he turned and followed after her. Shampoo just laughed as she continued down the street.
Walking into the house, Cheena looked around to see Skier, Dayton and Ryoe sitting on the floor looking at them.
"Cheena" Skier yelled as she ran over to her. Cheena smiled as Skier gave her a hug. Patting her on the head, Cheena looked over at Dayton.
"Did you three eat all the food?" she asked. Dayton laughed as he looked at her.
"For someone who almost got caught, you sure don't seem bothered or worried" he said. Cheena smirked as she looked back at Keal and Reshine as they walked in behind her.
"Thanks to these two, I have nothing to worry about" she said as she turned towards them. Keal smirked as he folded his arms across his chest.
"You owe me big time" he said. Cheena glared at him as she raised her eyebrows.
"Excuse me? I helped too" Reshine said. Keal laughed as he looked at his friend.
"Yea but I'm the one who grabbed her and took off. What did you do? You just distracted him for a second" he said.
"It was more like 5 minutes" Reshine said.
"5 minutes? Are we both talking about the same thing here?" Keal asked Reshine growled as he and Keal started to argue. Cheena laughed as she walked over to Dayton and sat down.
"So, where is the food? What did I snag?" she asked as she rubbed her hands together. Dayton smirked as he showed her all the food that was in the bags.
"You came out good on this one squirt. Where'd you learn to steal?" he asked as he opened one of the cartons to reveal noodles.
"No one taught me how to steal. I've never stolen anything in my life" Cheena said. Digging into the bag, Dayton pulled out a pair of chopsticks then stared at Cheena.
"You've never stolen anything in your life?" he asked. Cheena scratched her chin as she reached over for a carton.
"Well, I do steal from my brother but only because he steals from me" she said as she opened one the carton to reveal rice with shrimp, carrots and peas in it.
"Cool" she said as she grabbed a pair of chopsticks and dug into the food. Skier laughed as she and Ryoe enjoyed their food as well. To the side, Keal and Reshine quickly stopped arguing as they spotted everyone eating.
"Hey!" they yelled as they ran over and grabbed a carton each before sitting down and eating it. Cheena smiled as she looked at everyone who was around her enjoying their food.
*They look like they are enjoying this. I'm glad I could get it for this* she said to herself as she continued to eat her food.
"Shampoo, where are we going?" Gohi asked as he followed after her.
"Look, everyone time we saw Cheena, she ran into an alley. These connective alley's must connect to something and that might be where Cheena is" Shampoo said.
"But what if that is not where she is? Then you dragged me around this place for nothing?" Gohi asked. Shampoo sighed as she looked around the alley.
"Let's just keep looking. She has to be around here somewhere. I just hope we get to her before the cops do" she said. Gohi rolled his eyes as he folded his arms across his chest.
"When I get my hands on her, I'm going to kill her" he said.
"You're not going to kill her" Shampoo said as she turned a corner and entered another alley way.
"Who would of known these alley's were connected?" Shampoo asked as she continued to walk around. Gohi just sighed as he continued on after Shampoo. Just then the two stopped as they spotted a small house in front of them.
"That must be it" Shampoo said as she pointed to it. Gohi has a smirk on his face as he stared at the house. The were about to advance forward when a voice cut them off.
"We're getting closer. I can smell those misfits and I know they are close" the voice said. Turning towards Gohi, Shampoo cringed.
"That has to be the cops. We have to get Cheena and those kids out of there before they come" she said.
"I'm all for getting Cheena so I can get my hands on her but I don't care about those kids" Gohi said.
"But Gohi…" Shampoo started before Gohi cut her off.
"Are you going to stand there or are you going to help me?" he asked as he ran towards the house. Shampoo sighed as she ran after him.
"Hey Dayton, hand me that napkin" Cheena said. Dayton smiled and tossed her a few napkins as the door opened up and there stood Shampoo and Gohi. Cheena nearly choked on her food as she saw her brother.
"Cheena, let's go now" Gohi yelled as he stared at her. Cheena just stared at him as everyone around her stood up.
"How did you find us?" Skier yelled as she held onto her brother's leg.
"Listen Cheena, you have five seconds to get over here before I come over there and drag you out of this place" Gohi yelled. Cheena stared at him before looking around at her new friends.
"She's not going anywhere with you so you might as well leave. No one asked for you to come here" Keal yelled. Gohi frowned as he stared at him.
"You're that stupid boy who helped her escape me in the first place. Once I have her over here, I'll make sure to teach you a lesson" he said.
"Leave him alone Gohi, in fact, leave them all alone. They're my friends" Cheena said.
"Friends? What kind of friends teaches you how to steal from people?" Gohi yelled.
"Hey, we only steal food and we need it to survive" Dayton said. Gohi scoffed as he folded his arms across his chest.
"You kids are nothing but a waste of space. If you ever stole from me, I would blast you on the spot" he said. Cheena growled slightly as she looked at her brother.
"Just listen Gohi, we only stole food, that's all. We need to eat. We don't have money so this is what we have to do" she said.
"What is all this we you're talking about? You have a home, or at least you had a home. You won't have one once I get through with you" Gohi said.
"Just leave Gohi. This is my family now" Cheena said.
"This is not your family. You're family is at home where you should be and not wandering the streets at night stealing from people" Gohi said.
"This is what you do when you live on the streets. I live on the streets now. You don't want me at home, remember?" Cheena snapped.
"Cheena, I don't have time for this. Let's go" Gohi yelled. Shaking her head no, Cheena walked over to Keal and held his hand.
"I'm not going" she said. Gohi was about to speak when the house started to shake.
"Dayton, I'm scared" Skier asked as she held onto her brother's leg. Dayton picked her up as she shook from side to side along with everyone else.
"It must be the police" Shampoo said as she looked at the side wall. Everyone looked to hear ramming noises from outside.
"Gohi, you brought the cops!" Cheena yelled as she looked at her brother.
"I didn't bring anything but they are coming in here and they are going to take you all you juvenile hall so Cheena lets go before you get tied up in this mess" Gohi said.
"No Gohi, I'm not going to leave my friends behind to get caught. Please, help me help them" Cheena said. Gohi laughed as he looked at her.
"I'm not helping these misfits and neither are you" he said.
"Please Gohi, they're just like me" Cheena said as she looked back at her friends who were looking at Gohi.
"Cheena, they are not like you. They are trouble makers and they will pay for what they have done" Gohi yelled.
"But Gohi, if they are trouble makers then so am I. I stole just like they did" Cheena said. Gohi stared at Cheena then at the kids behind her.
"She's right Gohi" Shampoo said.
"I know she's right Shampoo. You don't have to point that out" Gohi snapped. Just then the side wall fell down and grabbed everyone's attention.
"This is the police. You kids come out of there on your own or we'll be forced to take action" the cop yelled into his bullhorn. Cheena stared at the swarm of cops that entered the house then looked at Gohi.
"Please Gohi, help us" she said. Gohi looked at her and smirked as he folded his arms across his chest.
"No" he said. Cheena's mouth fell open but she soon closed it and glared at him.
"Fine, I don't know why I asked. I'll do it on my own. I don't need you for anything. You're nothing but a jerk" she yelled. Gohi just smirked as he walked over to the door and leaned on the frame. Shampoo stared in shock as Cheena turned towards the cops.
"You're not taking us without a fight" she yelled. The lead cop laughed as he walked in.
"Are you sure about that little girl?" he asked. Cheena remained quiet as she stared at the cop. He smiled as he nodded his head. Just then all the cops, who seemed to be around 20 or 30 pulled out their guns.
"Surrender now or we will open fire" the cop said. Cheena glared at him then at the cops around her.
"Dayton" Skier said as she buried her head in his shoulder. Dayton rubbed her back as he stared at the cops around him.
"What are we going to do?" Keal asked. Reshine shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Cheena.
"I'm going to fight them while you guys escape" Cheena said.
"No Cheena, we're not going to leave you here" Reshine said.
"Just do it" Cheena yelled. Everyone stared at her as she took her fighting stance. Glancing over at Gohi, she frowned as she looked at the cops.
*Well its now or never* she said to herself as she prepared to fight.
