Consciousness of the Heart

Chapter Ten Orphanage *************************************************************

"Slow down Sano!" Lacey commanded.

"No can do!" Sano grinned.

The plane was now hovering over the river, the bottom occasionally grazing the tips of the small waves created by the plane's force. They were traveling at twice the speed limit, and were now nearing a waterfall.

"Shit!" Lacey cursed.

"Isn't this great?" Sano asked as she hurled the plane down the fall.

The river bend rose up to meet them, foam gripping the bottom as they fell down.

"If you ever drive like that again in my plane, I'll kill you!" Lacey yelled.

"Calm down, that was only the beginning, besides, I have special rights." Sano shrugged and floored the plane once again. *************************************************************

Radditz smirked and powered a blast in his hand.

"Killing two birds with one stone has always been my favorite!" He yelled and sent the blast towards Gogeta.

Gogeta smirked and used Instant Transmission to appear behind Radditz.

"Nice one." Radditz sad as he turned to block the kick Gogeta sent towards the back or Radditz's head.

"It gets better." Gogeta said confidently and lunged at Radditz.

A barrage of fists and legs could only be seen as the two slammed their fists into each other's faces.

They had been fighting for ten minutes when they finally split apart. Gogeta had only twenty minutes left. *************************************************************

"We'll be there in about fifteen minutes." Sano said.

"Considering the way you drive, we'll be there in a bout ten." Lacey muttered shifting her blonde hair back into her clip.

"You really need to lighten up; you're acting way too tense." Sano shrugged.

"Having a soul escaping from hell through your domain does not look good on your resume!" Lacey cried in frustration.

"How do you two know each other?" Gohan asked.

"Sano used to work for me." Lacey said.

"Not even." Sano argued.

"I worked with you, not for you." Sano corrected.

"Getting my coffee and filing my papers counts as working for me!" Lacey snapped.

"Well being your sister and doing that as a part time job counts as working with you!" Sano said and turned the plane sharply.

"Watch it!" Lacey cried out.

"You only got that job because Grandma Baba favors you!" Sano yelled again, swinging the plane around in her fury.

"She only favors me because I took the opportunity, and studied with her." Lacey yelled as she clung to her seat.

"She never gave me the opportunity to study with her, it was always about you, how great you were and how much you were learning. She just left me out in the streets." Sano said and sent the plane down another waterfall.

"You're just a jealous psycho bitch!" Lacey yelled and kicked the back of Sano's seat.

Gohan just sat back in his seat and stared at the two bickering sisters in awe. *************************************************************

Gogeta's face felt like it was run over by a shit truck.

The dirt was turning to red mud from all of his blood and Radditz was still unharmed.

"Damn, I will not be defeated by him!" Gogeta cursed and raised his power level.

"You are truly starting to annoy me." Radditz growled and charged up a powerful ki blast.

Radditz was about to send Gogeta into the next dimension when a huge plane sped right over his head.

Quickly ducking down he barely missed being hit in the head. *************************************************************

"You almost hit him!" Lacey screamed and hit Sano on the back of the head.

"I know what I'm doing, don't touch me!" Sano yelled back and quickly landed the plane.

"Dad!" Gohan yelled out as he ran to Gogeta's side.

"Need...more time!" Gogeta gasped out as his body began to morph back into two separate bodies.

Goku smiled up at his son.

"Hey dad." Gohan said softly cradling his father's bloodied head.

"Hey Vegeta." Gohan said looking over at Vegeta's smaller form.

Goku struggled to get up.

"No! Dad, you need to rest for a few minutes, I'll handle this." Gohan said standing up.

"But Gohan..." Goku started.

"Rest." Gohan said with firmness. The firmness that his mother had used on him when he wanted to train instead of study.

Goku nodded and admired his son's bravery and strength.

"Brat, he is stronger than your father and I put together, you don't stand a chance." Vegeta warned wincing as he sat up.

"Vegeta, are you worried about me?" Gohan teased.

"If you died, I wouldn't cry." Vegeta growled.

Gohan grinned. *************************************************************

Sano jumped out of the plane and stood, waiting for her sister to climb out.

"It's a wonder you can even walk in those shoes." Sano said, pointing to the heels Lacey had on her feet.

"In my line of business, you learn to do amazing things." Lacey said smugly.

"What's that? Prostitution?" Sano asked and smirked.

Lacey's smug grin fell off her face and was replaced by a frown.

"Now is not the time to argue. There is business to take care of." She said in a serious tone.

"Can't think of any good come backs?" Sano said and turned away.

"No, I decided to finish this in the presence of Grandma Baba." Lacey said and straightened her red suit.

"Yeah, don't break a nail." Sano said and walked passed her. *************************************************************

Radditz growled, the new voice was familiar.

Although it was older, it was familiar, and he knew he heard it before. *************************************************************

Sano and Lacey stood over Goku and Vegeta in awe.

"What the hell happened to you two?" Sano asked amazed.

"Radditz." Goku smiled weakly.

"I know what to do." Lacey said and kneeled down next to Goku.

"You know how to do it too, help him." Lacey said, gesturing over to Vegeta.

"This is an ancient healing technique my grandma taught me, it will only hurt for a moment." Lacey warned.

"I don't need your help." Vegeta snarled.

"And I never said I was going to help you, but obviously you are hurt and you need help. So shut up, lay back, keep your ugly face away from me, and we won't have in problems." Sano said as she raised her eyebrow.

Vegeta was speechless, this woman was as snappy as he was.

Sano closed her eyes and concentrated.

Both Lacey and Sano chanted under their breath as Goku and Vegeta were surrounded by blue light.

Goku closed his eyes in pain and Vegeta's mouth twitched.

"Done." Lacey said softly.

"Thank-you." Goku said and stood up.

"Get up!" Sano ordered.

Vegeta glared, no one was allowed to order the prince around.

"Are you going to get up, or am I going to have to make you?" Sano asked in a dark tone. *************************************************************

Radditz closed his eyes, he remembered that voice!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You have really long hair!" The brown haired girl remarked.

The young Radditz just ignored her and kept on walking.

"Why aren't you wearing any pants?" The girl asked innocently.

Radditz was only ten years old and was embarrassed by the fact that a small girl, only a few years younger than him, had noticed his legs.

Turning his head, Radditz faced the wall so she couldn't see him blush.

"Are you here because your parents died too?" The young girl asked softly.

"My father is alive and he's coming back for me!" Radditz said in defiance.

"Oh, my parents are dead, only my Grandma is alive, but she doesn't like me. She likes my sister only, that's why I'm here." The girl said, clutching a small animal to her stomach.

Radditz turned away from her again and continued on walking.

"Do you like being in an orphanage?" The girl asked.

"No!" Radditz said angrily.

They were now in a huge room filled with other kids.

"I don't like it here, all of the kids hate me, they threw rocks at me." The girl said, pointing to her black eye.

Radditz felt a small ping in his stomach, he wanted to personally kill each and everyone of the kids with his small hands.

"Look at that freak!" A blonde haired boy said suddenly, pointing to Radditz.

"He's not even wearing pants!" A little girl with red hair laughed.

"He's just one of those stupid aliens." The blonde boy said.

"You leave him alone!" The brown haired girl shouted, jolting Radditz from his homicidal thoughts.

"Look who it is, it's blossom!" The boy sneered and walked over to her.

"My name is not blossom, it's Sakura!" The girl cried out, tears in her eyes.

"Whatever." The little boy said and dumped his milk over her head.

"Nobody wants you, not even your parents wanted you. That's why they died." The red haired girl taunted.

Sakura turned around and ran out of the room.

Radditz growled under his breath and followed her down the hall. *************************************************************

Heehee...I just noticed that I've been spelling Radditz wrong, it's really Raditz. But I like the way I spell it, and besides no one pointed out my misspellings.

Anyway thanks for the reviews.
