Disclaimer? *Nudges Aaron* Go ahead, say it...

*Aaron sighs and looks at the audience* Alright...

Aaron: B-chan doesn't own anything, except for maybe a few ideas here and there.... However, the characters are mine! And if you want to use them in anything, please ask B-chan, though they are not hers.... *Sweat drop*

Aaron: How come you get to say whether they can use MY characters or not?

B-chan: Just be quiet and let us get onto the story....

Chapter Four: Oh...My...God!

Iya, knocked on the front door of Brad's house, dressed in a new cute outfit. It was compromised of blue jean shorts and a red halter top. Her eyes widened when Brad opened the door, only in a pair of sweat pants and a towel over his shoulder with a toothbrush in his mouth. Iya blushed profusely while Lura walked past Iya and into the house, completely unfazed by him being shirtless. Iya, still red as a tomato, quickly turns around and faces the street, trying to regain her composure. Brad raises an eyebrow, "What's wrong Iya?" She didn't reply so Lura interjected.

"I don't know what has been wrong with Iya today Brad, she's been acting weird all morning," Brad just shrugs when Iya decides to speak. "Mom, I'm going for a jog around this block, I'll be quick I promise," "Alright Iya, but only five minutes," Lura turned to Brad. "So how are you today Brad?" "I'm alright, what about you?" Iya began down the front steps and started off down the street. As she leaves the house behind, she can still hear Brad yelling at Goku, asking him if he's ready. About a minute later, she notices Sphinx down the street, but doesn't slow her pace. Jarod finally notices her but just rolls his eyes. "So Iya, when's the baby due?" He asked, as she passed him. Iya just picked up the pace a bit, and Sphinx began to follow her.

Meanwhile, at the Meade's house, Lura and Brad were having a small conversation on Iya's new look. "Yeah, Bulma and Chichi helped her with the outfits and make-up, I was just the witness on her aftermath, She's still just as pretty without it though," His neck turned red and he looked embarrassed, "I did get a little weird on her though, when she came out of the room after they fixed her up," Lura smiled demurely, "Well, She's always been a natural beauty, but she got that intelligence and sharpness from her father that she hides all the time," Brad tilted his head, taking the toothbrush out of his mouth at last. "Her father? Who was her fa-" He stopped in the middle of his interrogation. "What's wrong Brad?" Lura's head was tilted to the side. Jarod...the word echoed through his mind. "I'll be right back Miss Pierce," By this time, Iya's mother was thoroughly confused and just nodded. "Well...okay.." He was gone with one of those cool swooshy-cartoon things along with a enthusiastic gesture.

Iya is still being followed by the ever Persistent Sphinx, who is taunting her by calling things out such as: " C'mon, don't you wanna talk? Or have You talked to someone else already?" She suddenly stopped and turned around to face the white-haired male. Jarod saw this and smirked, "You know the deal, right?" Iya rolled her eyes. "What do you want to talk about Jarod?" Sphinx just kept on smirking then finally started to talk with an odd gleam in his eyes. "You snitched didn't you...I hoped you would, now I can have some fun, Wench," Iya became rigid, not only because of what Sphinx had said, but because she had felt a power suddenly come into her mind, invading her every thought. Someone's here....Her alert power was trying to figure out who it was beforehand, so she could be prepared. A figure abruptly appeared in front of Iya and she smiled. "I really don't think so Jarod..." Jarod gets angry and narrows his eyes, still gleaming. "It's Sphinx," "Whatever, back off of Iya, "

"Why should I Brad? Goku isn't here, is he?" Brad smiled. "No, but neither is school, and that means your all mine...." Brad became calm, "And something's happened in the last few years Jarod," Sphinx closed his eyes, "CALL ME SPHINX!!" Iya was silently watching them with a composed figure, she didn't want any attention drawn to herself at this time. Jarod, or Sphinx, threw a punch at Brad's face but Brad's hand caught it as his hair began to float upward. Brad's face is calm and relaxed as he suddenly is engulfed by a lovely golden aura and his hair spikes out and his eyes become an emerald green in a moment.

"Wanna try anything else...?" Brad asked coolly. Sphinx pulls his fist away from Brad's grasp. "But Later, I'm guessing..." Sphinx nods with an air of cockiness, "Damn Right," The last thing Iya saw from that scene, was Brad smirking, then when she was aware of her surroundings again, they were back at Brad's house. He looked over to her, with concerned eyes. "Are you okay Iya?"

She smirked, putting her hands on her hips. "Are you worried about little ole' me?" Brad turned a bright red, "Well...uh...you know...I'm...uh...just doing what's...right ...yeah what's right!" She raised an eyebrow at him. "Well, in that case, I'm just fine, thank you for asking," She smiled sweetly as Brad turned around and began muttering obscene curses at himself. He suddenly looked up to see Lura standing there. O.O Gah! surrounded! "Mhmmm....." Lura said to herself more than Brad. Goku stepped in to Brad's rescue, "Uh, shouldn't we be getting to work?" Lura jutted in again, "Yes, I bet you boys have lots to do today," Brad nodded, "Yup we do," Waves to Iya. "I'll see ya later Iya," She winked at him as he said this. As goku runs out, Brad gives a quick kiss to the Iya on the lips and runs out. He stops on the front steps, looking back, having no idea whatsoever why he did what he just did, then shakes himself and walks on to the car, unlocking it.

"Umm, Brad? You need a shirt, dude," Brad looks down at his bare chest, tan muscles rippling. (A/N: *drool*) Iya walks as if in a daze and Lura just smiles secretly to herself. Brad runs back in and, blushing as he sees Iya, the goes to his room, grabbing a shirt and walking as he puts it on. Iya tries to hide a smirk, waiting for the inevitable fall to come.

As if on cue, Brad is hurtling down the stairs, his shirt halfway over his head. Iya still smacks her forehead and sighs, though she knew this would happen. Why are men so stupid sometimes? Although Brad is very cute when he acts like that.... Iya finds herself blushing at that comment. Goku had watched it all happen, and while stifling a laugh, he helps Brad up onto his feet. "He landed on his head, he'll be fine..." "I better check his head out, just in case," This came from Iya, concern now in her eyes. Goku leaves the house, going to the car. "Does your head hurt anywhere?" she asked. Brad finished putting on his shirt, but shook his head.

"I'll be fine Iya," She tilted her head. "Are you sure?" Brad staggered a bit and Iya caught onto him. He closed his eyes, "Okay give me a minute...." When he opens his eyes again he doesn't say anything, getting caught again by her deep eyes. Iya smiles and gazes back, being mesmerized by the Hazel irises.

They find themselves leaning into each other and Connected together is a soft kiss. Iya wrapped her arms around his neck gently while Brad, though expecting it, was still tense for a second. As he relaxed, he put his hands on her hips, kissing back. Brad pulls away gently, with Iya blushing. "Well, uh, I better go..." Iya nods -not totally "there", if you get my drift- but doesn't remove her arms from around his neck. "Um, you wanna let go, Iya?" The statement from Brad snapped her back to reality. She sheepishly grinned and let go, blushing even more.

Brad laughs and kisses her forehead quickly, hurrying to the truck. He gets in with Goku, putting the truck in reverse. Goku stared at him, beaming widely. "Wow...not even two days, didn't take long did it?" Brad scowled at him. "Shut up, Goku," Brad drove the truck away.
