When Goku and Usagi returned home it was dark and Usagi had fallen asleep. Goku watched her as she slept in his arms. She had given her all today. She learned a lot and he was proud of her. Tomorrow they would continue her training. Hopefully they wouldn't fight for real again. Goku hadn't meant to throw her but she hurt him, it was more of a reaction then retaliation. But she had to learn that SHE couldn't retaliate like she did either.

~*~*~

Goku entered the house quietly. He didn't want to wake his sleeping daughter just yet. He carried her into the bathroom.

Chi-Chi followed them in. "Goku is she ok?" Chi-Chi looked at her daughter and gasped. She was covered in dirt and had cuts and bruises. "Goku, what did you do to her?" Chi-Chi hit her husband. She hadn't seen his face.

"I only did what I had to." He turned around.

Chi-Chi examined his face. "Oh Goku, did my little Usagi do that?"

Goku nodded. "Yes, she isn't as innocent as you think. She can be pretty vicious."

Chi-Chi laughed. "It's funny how you beat Buu, but you can't handle your own 5 year old daughter. What did you do to deserve that?"

"I stepped on her tail." Goku set Usagi on the counter and started to shake her. "Come on Usagi, wake up. Let's get you fixed up."

Usagi barley opened her eyes enough to see her parents standing in front of her. "What's going on?" Usagi shifted around. "Owie." She still hurt all over, although the pain had gone down a large amount.

Chi-Chi pushed Goku aside. "Oh my poor baby, Usagi. Do you want to stop fighting? Mommy will understand if you do."

Usagi shook her head. "No, I want to keep fighting mommy." Usagi yawned. "Can I go to bed?"

Goku pulled out a bottle of peroxide from the medicine cabinet. "First we have to clean out all of your cuts so they don't get affected."

Usagi widened her eyes. "No! Anything but that!" Usagi jumped off the counter and ran for the door.

Chi-Chi stepped in front of her. "Where do you think you're going? You have to stay here and get disinfected first." Chi-Chi picked up her daughter and placed her back on the counter. "Here you go."

Usagi scowled at her parents. They always insisted on putting on the peroxide whenever she got a cut. She hated it. "Why can't I just have a Senzu bean?"

Goku started to poor some of the solution onto a cloth so it could be applied to Usagi's knee. "Because, you need to learn how to recover on your own."

Usagi closed her eyes as her father put the cloth on her wounds. It stung. "Oww!" She couldn't wait until the pain was over. She opened her eyes when he took the cloth off.

"There now. That wasn't so bad now was it?" Goku put the first aid materials away.

Usagi nodded. "Yes it was. It stung."

Chi-Chi helped Usagi off of the counter. "Now you may go to bed. Your dad is going to wake you up at 7:30 in the morning so you can continue your training." She kissed her daughter on the check and hugged her.

"Aren't you going to tuck me in?"

Chi-Chi looked at her daughter. 'I'm still wanted?' "I thought fighters were supposed to be strong and take care of themselves."

Usagi smiled. "Not this one." She kissed her father goodnight and grabbed her mother's hand. Usagi pulled her from the bathroom into her own room.

Chi-Chi was happy. At least it wasn't like Gohan. He didn't really want anything to do with her after he became a fighter. He was too independent for that. She watched as Usagi changed into her pajamas. 'Maybe I still have a chance to change her, but maybe I shouldn't. If I push her she may hate me.' Chi-Chi tucked her little girl into bed. She walked to the door and put her hand over the light switch.

"Goodnight mommy." Usagi curled into her blankets.

Chi-Chi turned the lights out. "Goodnight Usagi." She left the room and closed the door. Goku was standing behind her with his arms crossed. "Hi Goku."

Goku saw the pain on his wife's face. "You're really struggling with this aren't you?"

Chi-Chi tried to hide her feelings. She thought that she had been doing a good job of it so far. "No, whatever gave you that idea?"

Goku stood in the same spot as his wife began to walk by him. He grabbed her elbow, stopping her right in her tracks. He pulled her in front of him and looked deep into her eyes. "You did."

Chi-Chi pulled away. How could he know what her true feelings were? There were still things about her husband that she did not fully understand. "Maybe I am having a problem with this."

Goku sighed. If she had a problem with it she should have spoken up the night before when Usagi asked to fight. "Chi-Chi you can make her quit anytime you want. I'm leaving the decision all up to you, but just keep in mind that if you do, Usagi will be crushed." Chi-Chi listened to the words of her husband. He was entirely right which is why she was having a hard time deciding on what to do. "You saw how excited she had been."

"Please Goku, don't put the decision only on me. I can't handle the pressure. I want her to be happy but I don't want to loose my little girl." Chi-Chi felt numb.

Goku hugged her. He knew what she was feeling. He too hated to give up his innocent little girl too but she would still be there. She would just know how to fight. It's not like she was leaving them for good. "You are not going to loose her. She is still going to be the same little Usagi we have known for 5 years. I promise."

Chi-Chi let herself be consumed by Goku's warmth as he held her in his arms. "I hope your right."

~*~*~

3 days later.

Goku opened Usagi's room precisley at 7:30 like he had for the past three days. He looked in on his sleeping daughter. She was so peaceful. He hated the fact that he had to wake her but she needed to train. He walked to the side of her bed and shook her shoulder. "Usagi, wake up. We have to go training."

Usagi slightly opened her eyes to see her father standing over her. She grunted and closed her eyes again. "No, let me sleep." She turned over with her back to him.

Goku sighed. "I thought that you wanted to learn how fight. Come on get up." He lifted the covers off of his daughter.

Usagi curled up and shivered. She wanted to fight but she was too tired. "Let me sleep daddy. Please. I'm too tired." She pulled the covers back over her head.

Goku hated to do what he was about to do, but she needed to wake up. He put his hands under the matress of his daughter's bed and grinned. This was kind of a funny situation. He swiftly pulled the matress from underneath Usagi forcing her to fall onto the base of her bed. "I told you, it's time to wake up."

"AHH WHAT'S GOING ON?" Usagi franticly started to look around. She wasn't sure what was going on. She looked at her father who was holding her matress and laughing at her. She gave him a dirty look. "That wasn't funny." She crossed her arms.

Goku dropped the matress. Her blankets and sheets lay all over the floor. "Pick up this mess."

Usagi gave her father a puzzled look. "But you made the mess."

Goku shook his head no and crossed his arms. "If you would have gotten up when I told you to, this room would be clean. You have to learn discipline if you want to fight. Now get dressed when you're finished and then we can leave." Goku turned around and left the room.

Usagi looked around and sighed. "That's not fair. Maybe I should have gotten up." Usagi tried to lift her matress back onto her bed. It was too flimsy. She fiddled with it for a while. She finally managed to get one end of it on the base of her bed. She went to the other side. When she lifted it, the side that was on the bed already slipped off. "No. Don't do that." Usagi tried desperately to get the matress up on her bed.

~*~*~

Usagi finally got her room cleaned up. "Next time I'll get up when daddy tells me to." Usagi looked around to make sure that every thing was in place. She had made her bed. "I think that's it." She got herself dressed as fast as she could.

~*~*~

Goku walked into the kitchen and found Chi-Chi cooking something for breakfast. "Chi-Chi, I'm hungry. When do we eat?" Goku looked over his wife's shoulder.

"We eat when the food is ready. Now quit bothering me." Chi-Chi pushed Goku away for space.

"When will it be ready?" Goku was starving and it was getting late and he wasn't sure if he would be able to stay and eat. He and Usagi had to be getting on their way soon.

Chi-Chi frowned and turned around to Goku. "It will be done when it's done!"

Goku put his hands up to his wife. She always had a way to scare him. "Fine, ok." He backed out of the kitchen.

Usagi wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into her father. She glared at him. She was sill angry about what he had done in her room. "What's wrong?" She looked in the kitchen. "Is mommy still on PMS?"

Goku started to laugh but caught himself and quickly stopped. "Don't say that anymore Usagi. Your mother would kill me if she heard you talking like that." Goku looked at a clock. "It's 8:45, we need to leave by 9. Your mother needs to hurry up and get breakfast ready. Usagi, go see when it will be done."

Usagi walked into the kitchen. Chi-Chi looked at her daughter in her blue GI and tensed up. "Tell your father to get his sorry self in here."

Usagi put her hands to her mouth. "Daddy! Time to eat." Before Usagi even had a chance to turn around Goku was already in his seat. Usagi sat across the table from her father as Chi-Chi put food on their plates. "What are we doing today daddy?"

Goku was filling his mouth full of food. "We are going to go to the Capsule Corp. I want you to start training with weights."

Chi-Chi nearly choked on the food she had in her mouth. "Weights? She's too young. She just started three days ago."

"She may have only started 3 days ago, but she is strong enough to handle weights. She is, after all, a Super Saiyan." Goku had a point. He planned on having Bulma make her some weighted cloths for her while he had Vejita show her some tricks. Goku wouldn't be able to be the only one to train her. He wasn't tough enough on her. He couldn't be. He hated to be mean to her.

Chi-Chi looked at her daughter who seemed to be concentrating more on her food then listening to her parent's conversation. "Goku, I don't care if she IS a super Saiyan, I don't want you to push her too hard."

Goku started in on 6th's. "She has learned a lot. She can handle it. I wouldn't make her do something if I thought that she couldn't do it. Don't worry."

Usagi finished eating and starred at her father. "When are we going to leave?"

Goku stopped eating. "When ever you're ready. I was just finishing up." He stood up and walked outside.

Usagi took her plate to the sink and turned around to her mother. "Don't worry mommy, daddy isn't pushing me too hard. I trust him. I'll be ok." She walked out of the house and joined her father.

Chi-Chi sat in her chair. She was speechless. Usagi had been listening. She wouldn't have said all those things if she had known. "Now he has her lying for him to get me off of his back."

~*~*~

Goku and Usagi flew to the edge of the city on Nimbus. Usagi couldn't figure out why her father had brought her to the city. "Daddy, I know that there must be a reason why we are here." She and her father jumped off of Nimbus.

Goku starred at her. He was all of a sudden in his serious mood. He put his hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Yes, there is a reason." He looked onto the city. "From now on, as part of your training, you will have to run at least 2 miles a day to build up stamina. This may sound like a lot but believe me it's not. At least not for a Saiyan anyways."

Usagi's mouth nearly dropped to the ground. When she told him she wanted to fight she hadn't expected to be running. She looked at their destination that lay in the middle of the city. "Daddy, isn't that more than 2 miles?"

Goku grinned. "You can handle it. Now lets go."

Usagi just looked at the city. She couldn't believe what she was about to do. She looked at her father innocently. "Do I have to?"

Goku frowned. He hated it when she tried to pull the guilt trip on him. "Yes. Don't fall behind." Goku ran off into the direction of Capsule Corp.

Usagi jumped. "Hey, wait for me." Usagi ran after her father. She would have to keep up with him. If she fell behind she would be lost. She didn't know the way. He was already 3 blocks ahead of her. The only reason why she could see him was because of his Orange GI that he wore. "Daddy wait for me! I can't run that fast." Usagi ran as fast as she could but it wasn't fast enough

Goku looked back to his daughter. She was falling behind. "Don't stop Goku, you can't baby her forever. She has to learn. Don't stop. Just keep running at this pace." Goku wasn't even running at half of his normal pace and Usagi still could barley keep up. He knew that there was a lot of work to be done.

Usagi ran and ran and ran but couldn't keep up. There were too many obstacles and she couldn't see her father most of the time. Usagi hadn't seen him for 5 minutes. She was getting worn out and couldn't breathe very well. She felt like there was acid pumping through her muscles. "I don't see daddy anywhere." She ran past a few more people. She squinted her eyes and looked for her father's bright Orange GI. She couldn't spot it in the crowd of people. She could feel her pace falling. She had been running for a good mile already.

Goku knew that he had lost his daughter. Before he went and found her he wanted to test her survival skills. He ran the rest of the way to Capsule Corp. to train with Vejita before he had to retrieve his daughter.

Usagi was officially lost by her standards. She stopped running and panted heavily. "Where could he be? Why did he leave me?" Usagi looked around. The part of the city that she was currently in was unfamiliar to her. She saw a street to her right that lead down to some houses. She decided to walk down it. There were fewer people down there then there had been on the street that she was currently on.

It seemed to be a quiet neighborhood. It wasn't very big and most of the houses were small. She continued to walk down the street. She saw a girl with long blonde hair in one of the yards and thought of Minako. "I wonder what Minako is doing right now. I wonder if she got into a lot of trouble." Usagi thought some more as she neared the girl. "She looks a lot like Minako."

The girl turned around and got a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon on her face. "Usagi! Is that you?"

Usagi couldn't believe what she saw. She rubbed her eyes. "Minako? Wow! I didn't know you lived over here. I'm so happy to see you!" Usagi ran up to the girl and hugged her.

"This is so cool. I never thought that I would see you around here. Where's your dad?"

Usagi pulled away from Minako and thought about her father leaving her again. She shrugged. "I dunno."

Minako looked at her friend. "You don't know? How did you get here?"

"My daddy is training me to be a fighter. This is his idea of training, I think. I was supposed to run to Capsule Corp. with him but he ran too fast and I couldn't keep up. I don't know where he is now. I'm really happy to have found you."

"I know, now we can hang out."

Usagi looked at her friend's house. It was one of the bigger houses on the row. "You mean you aren't grounded because of what happened the other day?" Usagi would have loved to play with Minako.

Minako shook her head. "Nope, my mommy and daddy aren't mad at me because I didn't do anything. I told them why it even started and they didn't even care that YOU started it. "She had reason" is what they said." Minako started to walk back to her house.

Usagi smiled. "Cool, I kind of got in trouble. Then I told my daddy what happened. He said that he would train me so I could defend myself." Usagi got a great idea. "Hey, maybe daddy can teach you to fight too. That would be cool."

Minako turned around. "I don't know, it might hurt. I could be fun. Maybe I'll give it a try. Come on, I want you to meet mommy."

Usagi followed her friend. She didn't care that she wasn't supposed to be relaxing because her father wasn't around to stop her. Usagi entered Minako's house.

"Mommy, I have someone for you to meet." Minako turned back to Usagi. "My mommy is really nice."

Minako's mother entered the room with a smile. "Who is it dear?" She looked down at the little Saiyan fighter. She found it odd that she had a tail.

Minako introduced her friend to her mother. "Mommy, this is Usagi, the girl from school. Usagi, this is my mommy, Mrs. Aino."

Usagi stuck out her hand. "Hi, nice to meet you."

Minako's mother grabbed Usagi's hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you too. Minako has told me a lot about you. I'm sorry about your ball. What is the word you used for it Minako?"

"The proper name for it is Dragon Ball, Mrs. Aino." Usagi still didn't know how she was going to get the ball back. She was going to leave that up to her father. She was still upset about it. She had hoped that he would come up with a plan soon. She wanted it back.

Mrs. Aino smiled. "Such a polite little girl."

"Mommy, can I hang out with Usagi for a little while?"

"Sure. Just don't get into any trouble please."

Minako remembered Usagi's question. "Can I learn how to fight with Usagi?"

Her mother didn't know what to say. "Fight?" Maybe Usagi wasn't such a good influence after all. "I don't know."

"Please?" Minako gave her mother the "puppy dog" face.

"Only if you are careful."

Minako was pleased. "Ok." She turned to Usagi. "Ok, let's go."

~*~*~

Usagi and Minako left the neighborhood and entered the main street of the city. "Wow, your mom is cool. She lets you go where ever you want."

"So does your dad." The two girls waited for a crosswalk light to change along with a lot of other people.

"Yeah but if my mom finds out, my dad will be dead." Usagi and Minako crossed the street when the light changed to the white person. "Do you know how to get to Capsule Corp.?"

"Yeah, why? Is that where you guys were going before you got separated?" Minako looked at Usagi's face. Her mood seemed to change whenever her father was mentioned. "What's wrong Usagi?"

"I don't know. My dad has changed since he started to train me." Usagi wasn't sure why. She hadn't done anything. She needed to talk to Gohan and Goten. They had trained with them. She needed to ask them if he always acted this way when he trained with them or if it was just her.

Minako decided to just leave it at that. She didn't want to upset Usagi. "Well, we can take the long way or cut through allies."

Usagi was feeling brave that day. "Let's cut through the alleys."

"Are you sure? They can be really dangerous." Minako didn't really want to take the alleys but she would if Usagi wanted to.

"Yep. I can handle it. I'm a fighter now. Remember?" Usagi loved saying that. It rolled off of her tongue so easily. "Let's go."

Minako and Usagi proceeded down the alleys. They made it through their first one alive and ended up on a street with even more people then before. A man swaggered over to them with a bottle in his hands. "Heyi laaadeesss. Wha youu doiiyn? Wann comb wis mei?"

The man stumbled onto Usagi. She pushed him away. "Get away." She waved her hand in front of her face. "Yuck, you really stink mister."

Minako grabbed Usagi's arm. "Let's get out of here, Usagi. There are some really weird people here."

Usagi turned her head to look at the man while Minako pulled her away. He fascinated her. "Minako, what was wrong with that man? Why was he acting so strange?"

"Haven't you ever seen a drunk person before?" Minako knew all about drunken people. Her father came home drunk sometimes. She hated it when he did because he was always mean to her. Her mother had to hide her from him when he was drunk.

Usagi shook her head. "No, my parents only get drunk when they won't be seeing me for a day. They never let me see them and I'm glad they don't. I don't ever want to see them acting like that."

Minako laughed. "It can be funny sometimes. But other times it's just plain scary."

Minako and Usagi walked down another alley. "So how far is it to Capsule Corp. Minako?"

"About six more allies down."

A man dressed in black tattered clothing jumped out from the side of a building that created the left alley wall. He had chains hanging from every pocket on him. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

"It looks like a couple of babies boss." Came a voice from behind them.

Minako and Usagi looked behind them where two more men stood. They backed into each other in fear. 'I hope I can fight good against these guys.' Usagi thought to herself.

(Well that's it for this chapter. Please review and tell me what you think. Thank you. ^_^)
