Fall of the Lucky Number

Chapter 11

Goten, Marron, Uubu, and Bra were all frantically looking around the lake area for shelter from the pouring rain when they spotted Pan and Trunks running towards a large, oak gazebo.

"HEEYY! Wait for us," Goten screeched as loud as he could but found his yelling useless within the raging sound of the wind.

When the entire group had piled into the gazebo, they found themselves shivering next to each other as the water streamed off their tresses.

After each one of them had used a minor energy blast to dry off, Marron turned her head towards a window, "So should we just wait it out in here or go back to the cabins?"

"Can we wait it out in here because I hate lightening," Bra suggested meekly.

Seeing Bra mildly upset about the impulsive lightning streaks, he laid his arm around her.

Forming an evil smile that no one else could see, Bra sat snuggly and smugly against Goten's muscular form.

'Mwahahaha...worked like a charm'

"This isn't working at all!" Saiven shouted as she tried to keep her long black bangs out of her eyes due to the pouring rain.

"I'd be able to sense them out if if wasn't for all this lightni..AHH!!" She was cut short as a bolt struck down on a nearby tree.

Now running as fast as she could, Saiven ran past one of the shorelines and... right by the gazebo, not even seeing it.

She was coming closer to another group of cabins when a violent shudder went through her stopping dead in her tracks.

It wasn't lightning that had struck her insides; it was him.

He was the only one that was able to strike such a cold feeling in her.

'He must have followed me to this world,' Saiven managed to think as her mind spun rapidly in a desperate panic.

Turning slowly, she could just see herself in one of those horror flicks while a double streak of lightning dived down to make its contact as everything seemed to have turned into slow motion.

For that instant, it became at once silent, leaving everything lit up. The lake was shrilly illuminated, but when Saiven looked closely, she zeroed in on a tall, dark figure hovering above it. It was looking directly at her.

She screamed at the confirmed recognition of who it was.

Her form turned slowly but precisely at that moment, another bolt struck down and seemed to send the chaos into motion.

The lights flickered above the two as they finished up another card game, their knees seated below a mini, wooden table.

"Oh Oh! You cheated again!!" The girl protested.

The other girl, now laughing complied, "No, I just won again."

Jessie sat defeated once again as the two noticed that all of a sudden, the wind had abruptly stopped.

Heads turning up, their eyes met at the same time as they could faintly hear a scream.

The roar of the wind had returned almost as fast as it had stopped.

"That sounded serious..." Jessie hesitated as her hands found their way to pulling herself up.

The other girl had done the same as they both found themselves looking wide eyed out a window.

"We've got to get help," Shannon whispered as if someone was able to listen in on their conversation.

Feet skidding in the array of mud as she tried to run, fear started to envelop Saiven.

'I can't fly because he'll definitely catch me then but why can't they see that we won't hurt them?! We PROTECT them even! Now they've sent their strongest warrior after me here in the past. I've got to find help!

Saiven's thoughts were cut short when she slipped and blindly hit her left shoulder on the side of a tree, sending her flying in the opposite direction. Causing a giant splash of muddy water, she tried with all her might to stay focused.

Reaching her arms out, Saiven tried to stand as her arms gave violent quivers but managed to stand up.

With the muddy water dripping off of her, she looked up and found herself looking into a pair of green eyes.

She stood frozen for a moment in shock but then started to slowly raise her arms up and tried to back away.

"You already know it's useless to escape me," said the man as his deep-toned voice registered in her head.

"Wait a second! I know you, don't I?" Saiven managed to say.

"Maybe. As you've probably guessed, I've been sent to capture or even kill you in certain circumstances but I might reconsider."

Saiven gasped.

"YOU HENTAI! Don't you dare try anything with me!"

Saiven could have swore she saw his facial features falter for a moment and even blush.

"In the name of women everywhere, TAKE THIS YOU PERVERT!!!" Jessie yelled while wielding a ChiChi incorporated frying pan.

*WWWWHHHHAAAMMMM*

"Wowie. 'Mazin what female adrenaline can do." Shannon added with arms crossed and nodding her head approvingly as the group looked at the now unconscious man.

Jessie was looking all high and mighty (or at least trying to=P) with her foot on top of the fallen foe when Saiven looked at her disbelievingly.

"Holy! I take it that you've met ChiChi?"

"Yep! We're her new apprentices," Jessie said with a foolish grin, "But seriously now, what's with this guy? Old boyfriend? Internet stalker? Jealous boyfriend?!"

"Hold it girlie, give her some breathing space here," Shannon said.

"I'm not sure exactly sure... oh! I'm sorry. I never told you my name--It's Saiven and I thank you SO much for the help!" Saiven said as she glomped them both.

Smiling, Shannon introduced them, "It wasn't a problem at all was it Jessie? That's her name -- mine is Shannon."

"That's better then. I know you've already done a lot for me already but could you help me find some of my friends?"
