I crashed into the ground with a resounding thud. I lay there for a few moments, watching the pretty lights flash in front of my face. Finally, I slowly sat up and groaned in pain. I opened the lid of the box and checked on my treasure that I had gone through a lot of pain for. They were all whole and I sighed in relief and winced as my body tinged in pain.
"I think I cracked a rib or something…" I muttered to myself as I watched Vegeta jump down from the roof.
He smirked at me. "Share the wealth ikeike, and I won't hurt you."
"Okay… okay…" I groaned, my side aching, "How many you want?"
"Ten." I raised a lone finger in answer, "Okay, five."
"I guess…" I handed him the five creampuffs with much hesitation. He smirked and walked away towards the backyard from where the smell of barbeque was wafting. I sighed and slowly stood. I noticed Kakarot and Mirai were cutting the grass as I brushed off my pants. I grimaced at the grass stains and then walked over to the porch to get back inside. It was locked.
I growled and, as I nibbled on a creampuff, walked all the way around the house to get back in. Bana waved at me cheerfully from where she sat on a wooden bench, watching the two Saiyans slave away and Piccolo meditate. As I passed Vegeta in the backyard, he nabbed a few more. I glared at the hungry Saiyan and snarled wordlessly. He smirked back and walked into the house. I followed him at a distance.
I watched as he attempted to grab some of the cooked food from the kitchen. Rogue picked up a nearby, unused pan and used it like a baseball bat to bash his head. For a few moments, she reminded me of Chichi. I shuddered. Vegeta was knocked back a few steps and he shook his head to clear it.
"Give me food, onna!" he growled.
"Wait till lunch!" Rogue snarled back. They glared at each other, neither looking away. Then, Zar rushed in and crashed into Vegeta, taking the Saiyan no Ouji down.
"GET OFF ME, GAKI!" Vegeta yelled, shoving Zar roughly. The boy went flying across the kitchen to smash into the other wall. "I'm going to sleep. Wake me when lunch is ready." Vegeta stalked off to his room.
"Ohhh… my head…" Zar moaned, sitting up and rubbing his head, "Damn, that hurt…"
"Have a creampuff," I offered one to him, "It'll make the world seem like a happier place!"
"Eh…" Zar looked at the creampuff in my hand then back at me. He shook his head, "No thanks… I'm worried about what you treated them with."
I chuckled, "Your loss is my gain!" I ate the creampuff and saw Kakarot gazing at my creampuffs with longing. "No!" I growled and then was struck with an idea. I chuckled to myself, "On second thought Kakarot, you can have one. And Krillin too! Go sit in the living room and I'll bring them out to you!" I said cheerfully.
"Thanks!" Kakarot said and grinned the Son Grin™ at me. I grinned back as he ran off to the living room.
"You're gonna give those bakas your creampuffs?" Rogue asked me with raised eyebrows.
"With a little 'milk' in them." I chuckled evilly and set the box of creampuffs down on the counter. I opened up our medicine cabinet and took out a bottle labeled 'Milk of Magnesia'.
"You wouldn't!" Rogue exclaimed, snacking on a creampuff, "That's so… so… evil!" she grinned but then it faded, "How're you going to do it? They're gonna notice if the creampuffs are soggy."
I felt around in the cabinet a little more then found what I was looking for, "Aha!" I pulled out a needle left over from when my diabetic older sister moved out of the house. I filled up the needle and injected two creampuffs with a good amount while Rogue and I chuckled. "I better remember where this is," I muttered, putting the needle back into the cabinet, "it might come in handy." I put the treated creampuffs on separate plates along with two untreated ones. I put another two on another plate when I remembered that Mirai Trunks was around also.
Trying to keep a straight face, I walked into the living room and handed Kakarot and Krillin the plates with the treated creampuffs and gave Mirai Trunks an untreated plate. They all said thanks and bit into their food. Well, actually, Kakarot stuffed both in his mouth and then looked around for more, Mirai Trunks politely restrained himself and took a civilized bite and Krillin did the same, though he was just acting normal.
Chuckling quietly to myself, I went to the kitchen to pick up my box of creampuffs and then went my room. I sat down at my computer and booted it up. I feel like some lemon along with my creampuffs…
As I logged onto fanfiction.net, Bana walked in whistling happily. "Hey! Why're you so cheerful?" I asked her, while checking on my reviews.
"Oh… nothing in particular… other then the fact that I convinced Mirai and Kakarot to go outside and cut the grass and then weed your flowerbed. They took off their shirts so I snapped a few photos." Bana grinned.
"Of Kakarot?" I asked, turning to give her "the look".
"Hey! A Saiyan is a Saiyan!" Bana exclaimed defensively.
"Well… okay, but don't expect me to ogle him like a lovesick fan!"
"I wouldn't either!" I nodded and turned back to the computer to bring up some good lemons. Bana hopped onto my bed and lay down. "You got any good music laying around?" she asked after a few moments of silence.
"Yeah, hold on." I slid in Green Day's 'Dookie' and turned up my stereo system, "'I declare I don't care no more! I'm burning up and out and growing bored in my smoked out boring room!'" I sang along quietly to myself as Bana grabbed an anime magazine off my dresser. She browsed through the magazine as the CD played and I ate my creampuffs while reading a very lemony fanfic.
Suddenly, my door burst open and Vegeta stomped in. "IKEIKE!" he yelled, "TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" he stormed out again.
I growled and turned up the music even louder. No one told me what to do with my music. Bana winced as her ears took a little time to get used to the new level. She waved at me to get my attention and pointed down. I grudgingly turned it down until she made an 'ok' sign with her thumb and forefinger.
"Did Skittles just say he was trying to go to sleep?" Bana yelled over the blaring music, an evil gleam in her eye.
"Yeah, what're ya planning?" I answered, turning down the music so we could talk and not hurt our throats.
"Just a little fun with the camera!" she grinned mischievously and hopped off my bed.
I sighed and grinned, "Don't get caught! And be sure to wait until you're sure he's asleep."
"Me? Get caught? How could you even suggest such a thing?" Bana asked in a hurt tone coupled with a cocky grin. She pulled the camera out of her pocket and out the door she went. I shook my head and hoped no harm would come to her.
"Speaking of harm…" I muttered and rubbed my aching ribs. I felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer and smashed me in the back with it. My ribs felt like they had been taken out, barbequed and then stuck back in again. Barbeque… I sniffed the air. The smell of Rogue's wonderful cooking was beginning to reach my room. My stomach growled and I ate some more creampuffs in answer.
Then, I heard a fierce shout erupt from the direction of Veggie's room along with a slamming door. A few moments later, Bana skipped into the room. "Hiya!" she said with a big smile.
"I expect, from the delighted smile on your face, that you got the pics. Am I right?"
"Hell yes!" Bana smirked and grabbed two creampuffs, "and you wouldn't believe what Vegetable Head was cuddled up with."
"What?"
"A teddy bear! He was so adorable looking as he was also sucking his thumb!"
"Veggie was sucking his thumb? How kawaii!" I asked incredulously as I finished the last creampuff.
"Yes!" Bana jumped up on my bed and began bouncing around.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't kill my mattress! I have to sleep on that thing, ya know!" Bana just kept on bouncing.
I shook my head and stood, "I'm gonna go check on how lunch is coming along." I walked out of the room and down the hallway. I could hear muffled cursing coming from the bathroom and I saw Krillin standing outside, dancing around cussing his head off. "What's the matter, shiny?" I asked him.
"Goku's taking his good time and I need to go-o-o!" he whined.
"Well, there's a bathroom in my parent's bedroom if you want to risk Vegeta's wra-" but Chrome Dome was gone already. I listened and I soon heard the sweet music of Vegeta yelling at Krillin and Krillin screaming he couldn't wait. I chortled and made my way to the kitchen. How I love to made other people miserable!
Mirai Trunks was in the kitchen and Rogue, being nicer to him then most, had given him some of the barbeque to munch on. He was finishing it as I came in. "Was it good?" I asked as I watched him lick his fingers clean.
"The best I've ever had!" he answered and Rogue beamed with pride.
"Thanks! I've never had a complaint about my barbeque!" she announced.
"Can I have a piece?" I asked.
She fixed me with the evil eye, "No, wait till lunch." She growled as she gave Mirai Trunks another piece. The fighter from the future gave me an uncharacteristic Vegeta Smirk as he began to eat his food. I tried to give Rogue my best Imitation Son Puppy Eyes™ but she was not to be fooled. "Wait!" she barked and I retreated from the kitchen.
