Chapter Eight

Going Back Home

It's been a week since our friends have been at the mall and Ami, Vegeta, and Sano are still staying with Goku. That is…until today. Both Ami and Vegeta have thought about it and they decided to go back home to where they know punishment lies. Even though they hate their father and wish to never go back to that horrid place again, they know they have to. They would be risking their friend's health and lives if they didn't go back to their home with their father and they know that second-hand.

It was Saturday morning and Ami made the boys a special extra large breakfast that morning. Even though they all gobbled it up in less than ten minutes, she still thought it was a pretty big breakfast. She cleaned up the table and washed all of the dirty dishes with some help from Sano.

"Do we have to go back home today?" Sano whined as he dried a plate and set it in the cupboard.

"Yes. You know what happens if we don't get back there soon." Ami replied remembering what happened one time when they stayed at Bulma's house for a little over two weeks.

"I know…but I like it here. Goku and Raditz are so much fun and they know how to take care of themselves."

"I know they do, but still…I can't handle the idea of me making someone else's life in danger. Now stop begging and dry faster." Sano frowned and continued wiping the little droplets that rolled down the sides of the plate he was holding. Meanwhile…Vegeta and Goku were in Goku's room discussing the matters at hand while packing up all of Vegeta's things.

"You know you can stay here longer Vegeta. Your father won't come looking for you for at least another week." Goku tried to convince Vegeta to stay a bit longer, but Vegeta just ignored him and continued throwing his clothes into his duffel bag.

"Oh come on Vegeta. You c-"Kakarott! No. You know what happened over at the woman's house so shut your trap. It's better to know that he won't try and hurt someone else than to increase the chances. Now give me my CD player." Goku frowned and nodded in agreement. He picked up Vegeta's CD player from his bed and tossed it at him, which Vegeta caught easily with one hand. He stuffed the rest of his belongings in his bag and trudged down the stairs to load it into his jeep.

Ami packed up all of her things, which didn't take too long since she kept most of it in her bag and she threw it over her shoulder. She strolled out of the house and over to her car and placed the bag in the trunk. A few drops of rain fell from the sky and landed on her body and she shivered as a cool breeze nipped at her skin. A sigh escaped through her lips as she raised the top of her convertible. Vegeta came stalking out of the house just then with his keys in hand and he too covered up the sides and top to his jeep.

"Is Sano done packing yet?" Ami hollered over to her brother. He glanced over at her for a second and then shrugged.

"Don't know. Why don't you go ask him yourself?" Ami glared at his usual arrogant self and treaded into the house and up the stairs to Raditz room. She knocked on the door and found Sano in the corner picking up some clothes from the floor.

"You done packing yet buddy?"

"Yea." He answered in a low cold voice. He wasn't too happy about leaving either. Ami sighed and sat on the bed that Sano was standing next to.

"You know what to do when we get there right?"

"Act like a helpless child?" He replied with sarcasm lacing every word he said.

"No. Just stay behind Vegeta and me and let us take care of everything. We won't let him hurt you, you got that?" Sano looked up at his sister with fear evident in his eyes and Ami enveloped him in a hug.

"Don't worry about anything ok? Just go to your room as soon as you get there. Kapish?" Sano nodded his head and Ami smiled reassuringly at him before helping him with his bag and stepping down the stairs.

"You guys all set?" Raditz questioned as he leaned against the doorframe to the entrance of the house and Ami nodded at him.

"Yea. Thanks a lot for letting us stay here. And now since you know of our little secret you have to keep it a secret. Got it? No telling anyone."

"Yea, yea. I know. You only said it to me over twenty times a day since I knew."

"Well you have a thick skull, so I wanted to make sure it got in your head." Raditz rolled his eyes and Ami just smirked at him. She did a once over of the house to make sure they got everything and then she left through the front door. It was now pouring rain outside and Ami was glad she brought a hooded sweatshirt with her. Sano was riding with Vegeta this time and he was talking to Goku before they leave to go back to their hellhole.

"We'll talk to you guys whenever we get a chance." Ami remarked and Goku smiled at her. He was also wearing a hooded sweatshirt and he looked at her with scolding eyes.

"You better. And be careful." Goku wrapped his arms around her in a bear hug and Ami patted his back with her hand.

"I will." Goku released his grip on her and smiled that famous Son smile at her. Ami walked over to Raditz and smirked at him.

"Don't make me say it again."

"I won't tell anyone ok? But I agree with Kakarott, be careful. I still need someone to squish when me and Vegeta play sandwich. Bulma just isn't as good of a squishee as you." Ami smiled at this newfound information and she gave him a quick hug before departing to her car.

"I'll see you guys at school on Monday." With that Ami sped out of the driveway and out onto the open road followed by Vegeta and Sano. After about twenty minutes, they pulled into their development and Ami was getting nervous. The palms of her hands were sweating and she was a tad bit shaky. Vegeta on the other hand was angry. His hands were gripping the steering wheel tighter every inch they got closer. Soon enough they both pulled into the driveway and hesitantly stepped out of their vehicles. They grabbed their bags from the back of their cars and progressed to the front door with Vegeta in front, followed by Ami, and finally Sano who was hanging onto the back of Ami's sweatshirt. Vegeta opened up the front door and peeked inside before entering. The house still looked the same except it was a little bit messier cause their father was a slob.

Suddenly, Mr. Ouji came waltzing in from the kitchen with a beer in his hand and the clicker in the other. He noticed his three kids just standing there and he smirked.

"I thought you three would be coming back soon." Then his face fell into a scowl. "Where have you been?"

"None of your business old man." Vegeta growled as he clenched his fists so tight that his knuckles turned white.

"Oh but it is my business to know where MY brats are. I won't repeat myself."

"He said none of your business." Ami angrily retorted. Her father's eyes grew dangerously low and he growled.

"You will tell me or you will pay for the consequences."

"We stayed at a hotel." Ami crossed her arms over her chest while lifting her nose into the air and 'hmphed'.

"Oh really?"

"Yea really. Now we would like to put our things in our rooms if you don't mind." Ami snobbishly remarked. Mr. Ouji scowled and slammed his beer can on the table next to him, causing the can to explode and spill its contents all over the floor. Sano jumped a bit causing Ami to jump in the process. He hung onto her sweatshirt more tightly now and he hid his face in the wooly cotton.

"I don't think so. You deliberately disobeyed me, insulted me, enraged me, and now asked me of something when you know it is out of the question!" A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through the whole house closely followed by thunder that made the house rumble from the intensity.

"You shall be punished for your behavior one by one." He cracked his knuckles and scowled at his now shaking children all except for Vegeta. Vegeta dropped his bag to the floor and crouched into a fighting position. Ami grabbed his bag and pulled it over to the front door along with hers. She dragged Sano with her and together they ran upstairs to his room.

"You stay here. You understand?" Sano shook his head and cowered behind his bed. "I'll be right outside of your door, alright?" Sano nodded and continued his cowering behind his bed. Ami locked his door from the inside and closed it shut. She stood at the top of the stairs and watched the brawl going on with her brother and father downstairs.

Mr. Ouji lunged at Vegeta and landed a punch in his face. Vegeta was forced back from the punch and he landed on the floor a few feet from where he was standing. Mr. Ouji advanced on him like a predator would do to his prey and raised his fist in the air again. He punched at Vegeta's face once more, but Vegeta moved out of the way and instead kicked his father's ankles, making his feet come out from under him and he fell on his ass. Vegeta stood up from where he was and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He smirked at his father and landed a punch square in his face…his nose to be exact. Mr. Ouji's body fell back to the floor from the force of the blow and he grunted in pain as he felt his nose break upon impact of his son's fist.

"Grrrrr…you broke my nose you insolent little brat! You're going to pay for that!" Vegeta Sr. lifted himself from the ground and scowled at his eldest son. Vegeta was smirking his head off as he saw all the blood on his father's face. Of course he had his own share already, but this was like gushing……kooooooool! Anyways, Vegeta dodged a punch aimed for his face, but his father used that to his advantage and kneed him right in the gut causing Vegeta get the wind knocked out of him. Then he laced his fingers together and brought his one huge fist above his head and then slammed it on Vegeta's back. Vegeta's body connected to the floor in a matter of seconds and he curled up as he was trying to get air back in his lungs.

"Not so tough now are we son?" Vegeta Sr. chuckled at his son's form on the floor and then he narrowed his eyes at him. "This'll teach you to never disobey me again." He kicked Vegeta in the side a couple of times and he rolled about on the floor knocking into things and making them break. He groaned as his vision was a bit blurry, but he ignored the pain and lifted himself off of the floor slowly but surely. Mr. Ouji watched Vegeta stand on his own two feet once more and he smirked knowing that he'd get another shot at him.

"I'm tougher than you think old man." Vegeta remarked as he crouched into a fighting stance again.

"Awww…yes you are, but you're still weaker than me and you don't stand a chance." Vegeta growled at the egotistical prick in front of him and clenched his fists in anger. Rage coursed through his veins and all he could think about was killing the poor excuse of a man in front of him. How dare he call him weak!

"You only wish that I was weak you ass." Mr. Ouji smirked.

"Well let's find out shall we?" With that, he leaped at Vegeta and swung his fist towards his abdomen, but Vegeta dodged it and in return elbowed him in the back. Vegeta Sr. lost his balance and fell to his knees. He growled in frustration and jumped back on his feet and charged at Vegeta again. This time throwing a fury of punches and kicks at him and Vegeta dodged a few, but a couple caught him off guard and caused him to lose his concentration. He got pummeled to the floor and his father jumped on top of him and straddled his hips as he punched Vegeta left and right in the face. He was losing consciousness faster and faster each time his father hit him and he growled in frustration.

"See…your..weak! It'll..be….all your…fault when…your..sister..and…brother…get beaten..too!" This caught Vegeta's attention and somehow he found strength from somewhere deep down in his tortured little soul and he used it to push his father off of him. Vegeta Sr. was shoved onto the floor and the next thing he knew he was being struck in the face and the stomach over and over again.

"You. Won't. Touch. Them!" Vegeta punched his father's bloody face one last time and was satisfied with the roar that escaped through his father's lips. Vegeta admired his handiwork and smirked at his father. He was coughing up blood and trying to breathe at the same time. Vegeta limped over to a wall and placed his hand on it for support. He breathed in heavily and shut his eyelids tightly trying to reduce the pain that surged through his whole body. He stood there for a few minutes just breathing and trying to regain lost energy.

"Watch out Vegeta!" Vegeta's head immediately lifted as he heard Ami's voice echo through his ears and then he suddenly felt a searing pain in the back of his neck. His eyes widened in shock and then blackness took over as he fell completely to the ground unconscious. Ami stared in horror as she witnessed her brother drop to the ground badly beaten and her father looked up at her with sadistic eyes.

"You're next." He bellowed. Thunder boomed through the house and the lightning made her father's face look even more evil than before. Ami's eyes widened and she growled while clenching her fists in anger. ~ I can't let him get close to Sano! ~ To his surprise Ami came stomping down the stairs with a beet red face and her fists tightly placed at her side. She stalked over to her father and stopped about 2 meters away from him. He gazed at her body and thoughts and ideas played over in his mind. Oh yes…he'd have to try them out.

"Hmph. It looks like your brother wasn't as tough as he thought he'd be." Mr. Ouji took a step towards her and Ami just watched, as he grew closer to her with that smile etched on his face. Oh she'll wipe that smile clean off his face.

"Not talking are we? Fine by me…but I promise you that I'll make you scream." He raised his arm and struck her with the back of his hand. Ami shrieked as she flew backwards into the wall behind her and she cupped her now sore cheek. Her father smirked before he flung himself at her and punched her right in the gut. Ami gasped for air and doubled over in pain as she felt like daggers were being stabbed into her lower abdomen. He finished his attack with an elbow to the upper part of her back and Ami was slammed to the ground. She felt pressure being released on her head and she realized that that was her father's foot.

"Next time you think about hitting me with your little car, remember the pain I can bring you. This is what it felt like when I hit my head on our neighbor's driveway!" Ami screamed out as he applied more pressure to her skull and she flung her arms wildly above her to try and grab his leg. She finally succeeded in finding his leg and she dug her nails into his skin. Mr. Ouji howled in pain and hopped around on one leg while holding the other to check his wounds.

"Why you little bitch!" He dropped his foot to the ground and then picked Ami up by her hair. She cried out as he viciously pulled at her hair and she did the only thing that she could think of doing at the moment. She brought back her leg and then soared her foot right into his crotch. Her father doubled over and held onto his private as he fell to his knees and then rolled around on the ground. Ami took this to her advantage and then began kicking him in the side, his face, and anywhere else she could connect with his flesh. She grinned as she saw the pained expression etched over his features and she felt proud that she caused that pain.

"Don't move or I will permanently damage your…" She glanced down at his hands that were still covering his family jewel and she smiled evilly at him. He growled as he knew that she wasn't lying and that she could probably really do some serious damage, but he wouldn't give up to a girl…his daughter none-the-less.

"You wish." He quickly jumped up from his spot on the ground with energy that Ami didn't even know that he had and punched her square in the face sending her flying into the coffee table. He trudged over there, limping a bit and glanced at her to see if she was still conscious. She was…great! He picked her up by the front of her sweatshirt and noticed all of the shattered pieces of glass pierced in her skin. He smiled as he saw her eyes open and she looked like she was about to pass out any second now.

"Two down, one to go." Ami heard perfectly what he said and she suddenly whispered something that Mr. Ouji could hardly even hear.

"What did you say? Speak up!" He yelled in her face while violently shaking her body with his hands on her sweatshirt.

"I said leave Sano alone. Take everything out on me if you want, just leave him be. Don't hurt him." Vegeta Sr. looked down at his daughter with shock present on his face and he then smirked at her.

"Are you sure that is what you want?"

"Yes, just don't hurt him." He licked his red bloody lips and smiled devilishly at her. He didn't waste any time at all before throwing her body against a wall and still hanging onto her, he threw her into another wall cracking the panel everywhere her body hit. He found that she fell unconscious some time while throwing her into one of the walls, but he ignored it and kept on beating her until she was a bloody pulp. He dropped her limp body on the floor on top of her brother's and pushed them both into a corner. Then he glanced up at the stairs towards Sano's room and frowned. He couldn't believe that she would take an extra beating just so he wouldn't touch Sano. He smirked and then stumbled down the hall into his bathroom to clean up.
