Goku stood in his fighting stance as he prepared himself for the fight against his son and daughter. This time he would have to hold back some. He didn't want to hurt Usagi. He pulled back his elbows and kept his lower arms horizontal to his side.
Usagi watch her father's move carefully. She didn't want to be caught in one of his attacks. She looked up to her brother. He was also focusing on Goku. She realized that she had looked away from her target and began to turn her head back around.
Too late. Before she had a chance to look back her father's fist was in her face. She was thrown down to the ground from the force. She rubbed her check with her hand and lifted her head just in time to see her brother and father fighting back and fourth. She pulled back her hand to reveal blood on it. "Owie!" She watched as Gohan threw punches at her father. Usagi watched in amazement as they fought. Her father dodged nearly every one of the punches that her brother had. She had never seen them fight close up like this. It was more then she could handle. They were much faster then she was and there was no way that she could keep up with them.
Usagi stood up. She was going to try to re-enter the fight. She began to take one of her boots when she got a great idea. She grinned. 'Hehe' She looked at her boot and then at her father. She remembered what he told her the other day when she nearly kicked Makoto in the face. She walked over to where her father and brother were fighting with one boot in he hand and the other on her foot. They didn't seem to notice her. They were too caught up in the fight. "Perfect." Usagi began to force tears out of her eyes and then took in a deep breath. "WHAAAAAAA!"
Usagi's crying interrupted Goku and Gohan's fight. Goku looked to his daughter. She had blood on her check where he had hit her. "Damn!" He quickly covered his mouth. He had just cursed in front of his daughter for the first time. 'Shit!' He quickly stopped thinking about that and went onto more important things. His daughter's bleeding face. He ran to her and knelt down in front of her. He pulled her hands away from her face. "Here, let daddy see it." He looked at the wound that he put on her face.
Usagi looked up at her brother. He also looked really worried. She looked back to her father to make sure that he was still examining her face. When she saw that he was, she quickly glanced back up to Gohan and winked at him.
Gohan was surprised. He knew then that Usagi was just faking it. 'She's got something planned. What a smart kid. Making a diversion with guilt. A kid's best weapon.' Gohan smiled to himself. 'When she makes her attack, I'll attack right after. That way we can get a double hit on him.'
Usagi let her father look at her face a little longer. She was waiting for the perfect time to attack. Goku rubbed some of the blood off of her face. "Usagi, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you so hard." Goku could have kicked himself for being such and idiot.
Usagi pulled herself away from her father and looked into his eyes. A smile appeared in her face. Usagi bent over to get eye level with her father. "You know daddy, you should never get this close to your enemy. It's not healthy." With that Usagi lifted her boot up in the air and smashed it into her father's head.
Goku grabbed his head. "OWW! USAGI!"
Usagi laughed and pointed at him. "Hahaha! You're funny daddy!"
Gohan took his opportunity to attack. He jumped into the air and came down on his father's back, shoving his elbow into it. "Don't underestimate your daughter dad. She's a lot smarter then she looks."
"AAHH!" Goku was being forced into the ground as his son was sitting on him digging his elbows into his back.
Usagi walked in front of her father and lay down on her stomach. She rested her head in her hands and looked him in the eyes. "This is fun daddy! Can we do this again tomorrow?"
Goku threw Gohan off of him and stared down at Usagi, once he stood up. "Let's see how fun we can make this!"
Usagi's smile faded off of her face as she looked up. She didn't know what her father was talking about. She looked up at him. "Huh?"
Goku bent over and picked Usagi up by her legs. She hung upside down as he carried her away from the battlefield. She beat against his chest with her tiny fists. He didn't feel a thing though. "This isn't fair! I can't pick you up!"
Gohan jumped for his father. He planned on rescuing his sister. Goku took one of his hands off one of Usagi's legs, letting her dangle by one leg, and punched him in the face. He laid her down on the ground and put his foot on her back to hold her there when he got to his destination.
Usagi tried to push against her father's foot but he put most of his weight on it. "Let me up." She tried hard but didn't succeed.
Goku looked down at his struggling daughter. "Now, now, now, you had your fun. Let me have mine." He pulled a vine down off of a tree and lifted his foot off of Usagi. She tried to make a break away but Goku was too fast for her. He grabbed her by the back of her GI and shoved her up against the tree. He began to tie her to the tree with the vine.
Usagi looked to her brother for help. He was just standing there laughing at her. "Don't just stand there, Gohan! Help me!" She began to kick her legs hoping that she may be able to wiggle her way out. Her father made his way around the tree again with the vine.
Gohan couldn't help but laugh. She was so helpless. She really had herself in a bind. Of course, he knew his father wasn't doing this out of anger. He was just simply having some fun. Gohan tried to stop laughing. "I'm sorry Usagi, I'll come get you."
Goku put his foot up against the tree and pulled the rope tight and then tied it into a huge knot. He noticed Gohan coming straight for him. Goku laughed. He put his foot out and let his son run into it. He kicked him up in the air and then punched him back down to the ground. He turned back to look at his daughter. "There you go Usagi. Now that's my idea of fun. You just sit tight there and wait for your brother to save you all right?"
Usagi wiggled some more. She could only move her legs and her wrists. She looked at the vines. She thought that maybe she could bite her way free. She lowered her head but the vines were too low. She looked back to her father who was walking away towards Gohan. "This is a dirty joke daddy!" Goku didn't pay attention. "Come back here…please?" She didn't think it was very funny. The only way for it to be funny was if someone else was tied to the tree.
Goku turned around. "If you don't like it you can either wait for your brother to come and get you after he defeats me, if he even defeats me. Or, you can find you own way out. It's your choice. " He laughed and turned back around to fight with Gohan. 'I just love these family fights. Usagi is right. We should do this again tomorrow.'
Usagi watched him walk away. 'Oooh this is war. When he let's me go… I'm gonna… I'm gonna… well I don't know what I'll do yet but I'll think of something good.' Usagi looked at the vines once again. She tried to figure out a way that she could free herself from their hold. Her father wouldn't have said anything about freeing herself if there wasn't a way. They were too tightly wrapped around her for her to be able to squirm her way free. That was totally not an option at this point. "Maybe if I pull against it as hard as I can, I can break the vines." Usagi started to pull with all of her might in hopes to break the vines. She kept pulling until she wore herself out. 'Man, how am I going to get out?' Usagi's thoughts were interrupted by her brother being thrown into her. "Oww! Gohan! Watch it!" Usagi just realized whom she was talking to.
Gohan stood up and turned back to his sister. He couldn't help but laugh a bit at the fact that she was still helplessly tied to the tree. "Sorry sis." He turned back around to return to the fight.
"Gohan wait! Untie me first!" Usagi couldn't wait until she would be free. She couldn't wait until she could get her hands on he father.
Gohan turned back around. "Fine." He ran back to the tree that his sister was still tied to. Just as he was about to release Usagi from her hold, a foot found it's way into his leg. He let go of the vines and turned around to stand face to face with his father.
"You know the rules, Usagi will either release herself, or Gohan, you can do it after you defeat me." He looked to Usagi who was frowning at him. "This is your own fault Usagi. You're the one who started to play dirty first. Besides, this is fun."
Gohan took his opportunity while he could. While Goku was talking to Usagi he attacked. He punched his father five times before he began to strike back.
Usagi watched her father and brother punch the crap out of each other. 'This isn't fair, I want to play too.' She looked down to her leg when she felt something tickle it. "EEEEWWW GET IT OFF!" A spider with long legs slowly crept it's way up Usagi's leg. She furiously kicked her leg hoping that it would be thrown off. With it's sticky legs, it held on and endured the force in which Usagi was putting it through.
Usagi stopped shaking her leg to see if it had come off and was surprised to see that it had not. "YUCK!" She decided to just flick it off with her tail instead. "Stupid spider. Wait a minute…" She looked at her tail and thought for a moment. "Maybe if I go like this." Usagi lifted her tail and began to untie the knot in the vine with it. "So this is what he meant by getting out by myself. Cool! Maybe a tail is good for SOME things." Usagi kept fiddling with the knot until she had completely freed herself. She let the vines fall to the ground and then she walked back to the battlefield to rejoin her brother.
Usagi hid behind a tree so her father would not see her. She was afraid that if he did, he would just re-tie her to the tree again. She poked her head out from behind the tree just in time to see Gohan slam his head into the stomach of her father. She closed her eyes. "That looked like it really hurt." She foreced herself to reopened her eyes.
Goku flipped backwards onto his feet, never letting his body fall to the ground. He retaliated back at Gohan with a swift punch to the jaw.
Usagi watched as her father took the fight into the air. Gohan followed. They started the fight back up again. She stomped her feet on the ground. "Daddy! You said I could fight too. How could you forget about me?" Usagi whined. Now she couldn't fight with them anymore. Usagi started to walk to her hill where she always watched them fight. She was disappointed. She really did want to fight with them.
Usagi sat down once she got to her hill. She put her hand to her forehead to shelter her eyes from the bright sun as she looked up to watch the fight. "This isn't fair. I want to play too. I wish I could fly." Usagi thought for a moment and then remembered that with the help of Nimbus she could fly. "Nimbus!"
She waited for the yellow cloud to come to her. "This is going to be fun." Usagi climbed onto Nimbus when it landed at her feet. "Come on Nimbus! Let's go to the fight!" Usagi was thrown back to a sitting position as Nimbus took off in a flash. "Whoa!"
Goku and Gohan were too pre-occupied with their fight to realize that Usagi was also there sitting on Nimbus. Goku was so caught up in the moment that he forgot that he was not supposed to use energy waves. He cupped his hands and pulled them to his side. "KA-ME…" A blue ball of energy formed in his hands.
Gohan welcomed it. He knew he could block it, or at least hit it back to him. "Go ahead and try father." He grinned.
Usagi took this opportunity to fly behind her father. "Here I go on One…Two… THREE!" Usagi closed her eyes and jumped from Nimbus onto her father's back. She wrapped her arms and legs around his body so she would not fall off.
"What the…" Goku stopped his attack short. The energy ball faded away as he dropped his power level. He turned his head to see what had just attached itself to his back. He was a little bit surprised to see that it was his daughter. "Usagi?"
Usagi giggled. "Hi daddy. I want to play too." Before she gave her father time to react she climbed up his back to sit on his shoulders. She strung her legs around his neck and pulled his head back by his hair.
Goku didn't know what she was going to do but he was sure she didn't like it. "Usagi!" He raised his hands to pull her off of his shoulders.
Gohan was curious as to what Usagi had planned for him. He noticed his father lifting his hands. 'Well we can't have little Usagi's plans ruined now can we?' He shoved his fist into his father's stomach. "Don't try anything dad. We've got you under control now." Gohan laughed to himself.
Goku pulled his hands away from his daughter, just as he was about to grab her, and wrapped them around his stomach. "Gees you guys."
Usagi was nearly thrown off of her father's shoulders as he bent over. She could feel herself slipping down his back. She looked below her. She was too far off the ground to make a safe landing. She began to get scared. She looked around and examined her options. She needed to act quickly. If she didn't she would either slip off or be thrown off by her father. She looked up and decided to use his hair as leverage. "Hehehe." She grabbed his hair and pulled herself back up with it.
Goku's head was pulled back. "AAHHOOWW!"
Usagi was back up on his shoulders again. She smiled to herself as she pulled his head back so she could look directly into his eyes. "Daddy, I know you're stronger than this." With that she made a fist and punched him in the face 5 times.
Goku grabbed Usagi and held her in front of him so he could look at her face to face, when she stopped hitting him. "You know, you are getting strong." Goku grinned. Usagi coward. She knew he had something planned. "But not strong enough to beat me." With that being said, Goku threw Usagi to her brother.
Gohan caught his little sister in his arms. "What are you doing dad?"
"Take care of your sister. I'll be back in a little while. I'm going to get her friends so we can teach them how to use Ki blasts." Goku turned around and flew away in the direction of the city.
Gohan hated it when he just up and stopped the fight without warning. He looked down at his sister, who was now nicely curled up in his arms. She reminded him of Pan when she was Usagi's age. So young, yet, so eager to learn how to fight. Gohan had never in his life expected to have a little sister, but he was happy that she was there.
Gohan lowered himself to the ground and walked over to the tree where his father had tied Usagi up. He sat down and leaned against the tree with Usagi still in his arms. She was resting her head against him. "You look tired Usagi."
Usagi didn't move her head. "I am."
Gohan hugged Usagi closer to him. She was warm. He couldn't remember the last time he had held a child. It had been about 15 years probably. It brought back memories of when Pan was little. He couldn't hold her anymore for she was already 25 years old. Time had flown by so quickly. "Usagi, did dad teach you how to fight like that?"
Usagi slightly lifted her head from her brother. "Like what?"
"Well you know, how you climbed on him and everything. I'm sure you got that trick with your boot from Vejita's influence." Gohan was still laughing inside about that one.
Usagi shook her head. "No, that was just something that I decided to do."
"I wondered. I've never seen anyone do that before and I didn't think that dad would have taught you to fight like that. I was kind of funny actually. That could be pretty useful in the future." Gohan leaned his head against the tree. "Boy, I'm tired."
Usagi leaned her head back into her brother's body. "So am I." Usagi let herself drift into her thoughts as she waited for her father to return with her friends. She had had so much fun that day. She finally got what she wanted. She got to fight with her brother and father. Although it hadn't gone the way she thought it would, she still had fun. "Gohan?"
Gohan lifted his head back up to look at his sister. "Yeah?"
"Am I any good at fighting?"
"Of course you are. Dad wouldn't have let you spar with us today if he thought that you weren't good enough. Why? Do you think you're good."
Usagi didn't know if she was good or not. She had mixed feelings about her skill. "I don't know. I always get beaten."
Gohan thought back to when he was first training with Piccolo. He got beaten all the time at first too. Even when Vejita and Nappa came to earth he got himself beaten up pretty badly, but he still stuck with it. "Usagi, you aren't going to be a world class fighter overnight. These things take time. Don't worry. You are showing better progress than me when I first started."
Usagi looked up at her brother. "You? But you're an awesome fighter."
Gohan laughed. "I didn't start out this way. Believe me. It took hard work and years of training."
Usagi didn't want it to take years. She wanted to be strong now, so she could get her Dragon Ball back. She closed her eyes as she started to drift off into a deep sleep. The spar had worn her out more than she thought.
~*~*~
Goku arrived back at the field with Minako and Makoto about an hour after he left. He had stopped off at home first to get something to eat. He didn't want to train anyone on and empty stomach.
He landed with Nimbus and looked around for his children. They were no where in sight. "Where could they be? I told them I would be back." He turned to Minako and Makoto who were beginning to fight each other. "Stay here you guys. I have to go find Usagi and Gohan." Goku walked off in the direction of the trees. He could feel their energy signatures coming from there.
Gohan was awaken by the sound of something tripping over a branch. He gently picked his sister up out of his lap and placed her on the ground next to him. He didn't want to wake her if he didn't have to. He walked towards the area where he heard the sound making sure that he didn't make any sound. He didn't want to make what ever it was angry and then attack Usagi while he wasn't around. He quickly ducked behind a tree when he saw movement. He poked his head out to get better look at what he was going to have to scare off.
Goku noticed something moving from behind a tree. "Gohan? Is that you?"
Gohan sighed in relief. It wasn't a predator at all. It was just his father. He walked out from behind the tree to greet his father. "Sorry dad. We fell asleep."
Goku looked around for Usagi. He didn't see her anywhere. "That's ok. Where's your sister?"
"She's asleep back there." Gohan pointed behind him. "I didn't want to wake her up. If I would have know it was you, I would have waken her up and brought her with me."
"Ok. Well, I brought the other girls with back with me like I said I would. Why don't you go make sure that they are still there and haven't killed themselves yet and I'll get Usagi." Goku walked past his son.
"All right dad." Gohan headed out of the trees. He was looking forward to meeting his sister's friends.
Goku walked farther into the trees as he looked for his daughter. He could feel that he was getting closer and closer by the second. He followed her energy signature until he finally reached her. She was curled up by a tree and sound asleep. He hated to wake her up but she really wanted to learn how to use her energy for fighting.
He walked over to her and knelt down next to her. He placed his hand on her back and softly shook her to wake her. "Usagi, come on. Naptime is over. It's time for you to wake up. Minako and Makoto are waiting for us."
Usagi groggily opened her eyes. She couldn't make out a word that her father had just said. "What?"
"It's time for you to learn how to fly and use Ki blasts." Goku picked Usagi up and placed her on her feet. "Come on, let's go. It will be fun."
Usagi still wasn't quite awake. She grabbed her father's hand and began walking back to everyone else who were waiting for them. "Did I do good today daddy?"
Goku nodded. "Yes, you did very well today. Although that was a dirty trick you pulled on me." He looked at her face where he had hit her. It still looked pretty bad but it was beginning to scab over.
Usagi smiled. "Daddy?"
"Huh?"
"You said that everything is fair when you're fighting." Usagi leaned into her father's leg as she walked.
Goku looked forward and wrapped his arm around Usagi. "I know what I said. I never said that it wasn't fair, I just said it was a dirty trick. I also liked how you used Nimbus to rejoin the fight. That was very clever."
Usagi's smile grew on her face. "Thanks daddy. Why did you tie me to the tree?"
Goku laughed. "For the same reason you hit me over the head with your shoe. One good trick deserves another. It's just a little thing I like to call payback."
"I had fun today daddy."
"I'm glad. Uh, Usagi, You didn't hear anything bad come out of daddy's mouth today, did you?"
Usagi shook her head. "Nope. Why did you say a bad word?"
"No. Just wondering." 'Thank god."
~*~*~
Gohan watched as Minako and Makoto sparred with each other. They were good. He looked back over his shoulder and noticed that his father and Usagi coming out of the wooded area. He turned back to Minako and Makoto. "All right you guys. They're here."
Minako and Makoto stopped fighting and looked towards Gohan's direction and saw Goku and Usagi.
Usagi let go of her father's hand and ran to join her friends. "Hey you guys. This is sooo cool. We get to learn the fun way to fight."
Makoto stared at her friend. She was a mess. "Usagi, what happened to you?"
Minako looked at the wound on Usagi's face. "Yeah, you look all beat up."
Usagi looked at down to her body. She was covered in dirt. "Oh this? I was fighting with my brother, Gohan, and daddy. We had fun."
Makoto looked at Gohan and then Usagi. "That's your brother? Why do you have blonde hair and he doesn't"
Usagi shrugged. "I dunno."
Goku and Gohan walked up from behind Usagi. "All right you guys, let's get this show on the road. Minako, Makoto, I'm Gohan, Usagi's big brother."
Goku walked by Minako and Makoto. "I'll be teaching you guys. Usagi, Gohan will be teaching you. It's easier for us if we don't have too many people that we have to teach at once and since he is YOUR brother, you can train with him. Minako, Makoto, come this way." He waved for them to follow them.
Usagi watched as her friends left with he father. She looked up at her brother. "So Gohan, what are we going to do first?"
Gohan looked down to his little sister. "Well first I'm going to teach you how to fly." Gohan knew that this was going to be interesting. It would be just like the time that he taught Videl how to fly. "Ok, the first thing you have to do is concentrate…"
"Concentrate on what?"
"If you would let me finish I would tell you. Ok, concentrate your energy in your body. After you have done that, concentrate on moving that energy around as it is still in your body. Try that."
Usagi cleared her mind of her thoughts. She closed her eyes concentrated her energy in her body like Gohan had told her too.
Gohan could feel her energy begin to build up. "Good. Now try to move it around."
Usagi tried to concentrate the energy to move around. It didn't work so she concentrated harder.
Gohan could see that she was struggling. "Come on Usagi. I know you can do it." Usagi felt the energy building up in her body. Gohan stared at his sister in shock.
Usagi opened her eyes. "I can't do it Gohan. I just can't do it. It's too hard."
"What are you talking about? You're doing it!" Gohan couldn't believe it. He had never seen anyone be able to learn how to hover off of the ground so fast.
Usagi looked down. Her feet were not touching the ground. Gohan had not been lying to her. She looked at him. "I'm doing it' I'm actually doing Gohan!"
Gohan saw the happiness in his sister's face. "Good job Usagi. All you need to do is practice this for a while and then try moving yourself around. Like going forwards and backwards and left to right and then the next thing you know, you're flying."
Usagi fell to the ground and grabbed her head. "Oh, I'm dizzy now."
Gohan ran to his sister's side. "Yeah, flying takes some of your energy away. But as you progress in your training, you will gain more energy." Gohan smiled down to his sister. "So, do you want to learn how to use Ki blasts now?"
Usagi smiled. "Of course I do." She tried to shake the dizziness out of her head and stood up. She swayed a little.
"Are you sure you can do this? Are you still dizzy?" Gohan didn't want to teach her how to use Ki blasts if she was low on energy.
Usagi shook her head. "No, I'm fine."
"All right." Gohan would have to keep on eye on her and make sure she was really okay. "Ki blasts are pretty much the same as flying." Gohan saw the look of confusion on his sister's face. "Well you know how you have to concentrate the energy in your body to fly?" Usagi nodded. "Well with Ki blasts, all you have to do is concentrate your energy in your hands to form a ball of energy in them."
Usagi nodded. She slightly understood what he was talking about. "Ok, lemme try." She cupped her hands together like she had seen her father do many times. She began to concentrate her energy inside her hands. A golden ball of energy formed in her hands.
Gohan watched in amazement. She once again proved her great learning skills to him. "That's great, now release that energy on me Usagi."
Usagi looked at her brother. She brought her hands in front of her and released the energy ball at Gohan like she was told. She watched it as it smashed into his hand that he held out. It exploded when it made contact. "Wow did I do that?"
Gohan nodded. "Yes, although it wasn't very powerful, but power comes with experience."
Usagi frowned. "I can make it more powerful. Just watch." Usagi grinned as she re-cupped her hands. She would show him how strong she was. Another ball of energy formed in her hands faster than the last one. This time she concentrated all of her energy on the ball.
Gohan watched as the ball grew larger and larger in her hands. 'Damn! Dad was right. She is going to be one strong fighter.' He felt her energy signature. It was quite large for a normal kid. Then again, Usagi wasn't a normal child. She was a Super Saiyan.
When Usagi finally had filled her energy ball with enough of her energy she fired it at Gohan. She watched as he put his hands out to block it. The blast hit her brother and then her vision went black.
(Ok, that's it for this chapter. This is a nice place to stop the chapter don't you think. After all, the chapter is already 10 pages long and I'm feeling really daring today anyways. So what do you think about this chapter? Is it good or Bad? You make the call. Please review. Thank you ^_^)
Usagi watch her father's move carefully. She didn't want to be caught in one of his attacks. She looked up to her brother. He was also focusing on Goku. She realized that she had looked away from her target and began to turn her head back around.
Too late. Before she had a chance to look back her father's fist was in her face. She was thrown down to the ground from the force. She rubbed her check with her hand and lifted her head just in time to see her brother and father fighting back and fourth. She pulled back her hand to reveal blood on it. "Owie!" She watched as Gohan threw punches at her father. Usagi watched in amazement as they fought. Her father dodged nearly every one of the punches that her brother had. She had never seen them fight close up like this. It was more then she could handle. They were much faster then she was and there was no way that she could keep up with them.
Usagi stood up. She was going to try to re-enter the fight. She began to take one of her boots when she got a great idea. She grinned. 'Hehe' She looked at her boot and then at her father. She remembered what he told her the other day when she nearly kicked Makoto in the face. She walked over to where her father and brother were fighting with one boot in he hand and the other on her foot. They didn't seem to notice her. They were too caught up in the fight. "Perfect." Usagi began to force tears out of her eyes and then took in a deep breath. "WHAAAAAAA!"
Usagi's crying interrupted Goku and Gohan's fight. Goku looked to his daughter. She had blood on her check where he had hit her. "Damn!" He quickly covered his mouth. He had just cursed in front of his daughter for the first time. 'Shit!' He quickly stopped thinking about that and went onto more important things. His daughter's bleeding face. He ran to her and knelt down in front of her. He pulled her hands away from her face. "Here, let daddy see it." He looked at the wound that he put on her face.
Usagi looked up at her brother. He also looked really worried. She looked back to her father to make sure that he was still examining her face. When she saw that he was, she quickly glanced back up to Gohan and winked at him.
Gohan was surprised. He knew then that Usagi was just faking it. 'She's got something planned. What a smart kid. Making a diversion with guilt. A kid's best weapon.' Gohan smiled to himself. 'When she makes her attack, I'll attack right after. That way we can get a double hit on him.'
Usagi let her father look at her face a little longer. She was waiting for the perfect time to attack. Goku rubbed some of the blood off of her face. "Usagi, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you so hard." Goku could have kicked himself for being such and idiot.
Usagi pulled herself away from her father and looked into his eyes. A smile appeared in her face. Usagi bent over to get eye level with her father. "You know daddy, you should never get this close to your enemy. It's not healthy." With that Usagi lifted her boot up in the air and smashed it into her father's head.
Goku grabbed his head. "OWW! USAGI!"
Usagi laughed and pointed at him. "Hahaha! You're funny daddy!"
Gohan took his opportunity to attack. He jumped into the air and came down on his father's back, shoving his elbow into it. "Don't underestimate your daughter dad. She's a lot smarter then she looks."
"AAHH!" Goku was being forced into the ground as his son was sitting on him digging his elbows into his back.
Usagi walked in front of her father and lay down on her stomach. She rested her head in her hands and looked him in the eyes. "This is fun daddy! Can we do this again tomorrow?"
Goku threw Gohan off of him and stared down at Usagi, once he stood up. "Let's see how fun we can make this!"
Usagi's smile faded off of her face as she looked up. She didn't know what her father was talking about. She looked up at him. "Huh?"
Goku bent over and picked Usagi up by her legs. She hung upside down as he carried her away from the battlefield. She beat against his chest with her tiny fists. He didn't feel a thing though. "This isn't fair! I can't pick you up!"
Gohan jumped for his father. He planned on rescuing his sister. Goku took one of his hands off one of Usagi's legs, letting her dangle by one leg, and punched him in the face. He laid her down on the ground and put his foot on her back to hold her there when he got to his destination.
Usagi tried to push against her father's foot but he put most of his weight on it. "Let me up." She tried hard but didn't succeed.
Goku looked down at his struggling daughter. "Now, now, now, you had your fun. Let me have mine." He pulled a vine down off of a tree and lifted his foot off of Usagi. She tried to make a break away but Goku was too fast for her. He grabbed her by the back of her GI and shoved her up against the tree. He began to tie her to the tree with the vine.
Usagi looked to her brother for help. He was just standing there laughing at her. "Don't just stand there, Gohan! Help me!" She began to kick her legs hoping that she may be able to wiggle her way out. Her father made his way around the tree again with the vine.
Gohan couldn't help but laugh. She was so helpless. She really had herself in a bind. Of course, he knew his father wasn't doing this out of anger. He was just simply having some fun. Gohan tried to stop laughing. "I'm sorry Usagi, I'll come get you."
Goku put his foot up against the tree and pulled the rope tight and then tied it into a huge knot. He noticed Gohan coming straight for him. Goku laughed. He put his foot out and let his son run into it. He kicked him up in the air and then punched him back down to the ground. He turned back to look at his daughter. "There you go Usagi. Now that's my idea of fun. You just sit tight there and wait for your brother to save you all right?"
Usagi wiggled some more. She could only move her legs and her wrists. She looked at the vines. She thought that maybe she could bite her way free. She lowered her head but the vines were too low. She looked back to her father who was walking away towards Gohan. "This is a dirty joke daddy!" Goku didn't pay attention. "Come back here…please?" She didn't think it was very funny. The only way for it to be funny was if someone else was tied to the tree.
Goku turned around. "If you don't like it you can either wait for your brother to come and get you after he defeats me, if he even defeats me. Or, you can find you own way out. It's your choice. " He laughed and turned back around to fight with Gohan. 'I just love these family fights. Usagi is right. We should do this again tomorrow.'
Usagi watched him walk away. 'Oooh this is war. When he let's me go… I'm gonna… I'm gonna… well I don't know what I'll do yet but I'll think of something good.' Usagi looked at the vines once again. She tried to figure out a way that she could free herself from their hold. Her father wouldn't have said anything about freeing herself if there wasn't a way. They were too tightly wrapped around her for her to be able to squirm her way free. That was totally not an option at this point. "Maybe if I pull against it as hard as I can, I can break the vines." Usagi started to pull with all of her might in hopes to break the vines. She kept pulling until she wore herself out. 'Man, how am I going to get out?' Usagi's thoughts were interrupted by her brother being thrown into her. "Oww! Gohan! Watch it!" Usagi just realized whom she was talking to.
Gohan stood up and turned back to his sister. He couldn't help but laugh a bit at the fact that she was still helplessly tied to the tree. "Sorry sis." He turned back around to return to the fight.
"Gohan wait! Untie me first!" Usagi couldn't wait until she would be free. She couldn't wait until she could get her hands on he father.
Gohan turned back around. "Fine." He ran back to the tree that his sister was still tied to. Just as he was about to release Usagi from her hold, a foot found it's way into his leg. He let go of the vines and turned around to stand face to face with his father.
"You know the rules, Usagi will either release herself, or Gohan, you can do it after you defeat me." He looked to Usagi who was frowning at him. "This is your own fault Usagi. You're the one who started to play dirty first. Besides, this is fun."
Gohan took his opportunity while he could. While Goku was talking to Usagi he attacked. He punched his father five times before he began to strike back.
Usagi watched her father and brother punch the crap out of each other. 'This isn't fair, I want to play too.' She looked down to her leg when she felt something tickle it. "EEEEWWW GET IT OFF!" A spider with long legs slowly crept it's way up Usagi's leg. She furiously kicked her leg hoping that it would be thrown off. With it's sticky legs, it held on and endured the force in which Usagi was putting it through.
Usagi stopped shaking her leg to see if it had come off and was surprised to see that it had not. "YUCK!" She decided to just flick it off with her tail instead. "Stupid spider. Wait a minute…" She looked at her tail and thought for a moment. "Maybe if I go like this." Usagi lifted her tail and began to untie the knot in the vine with it. "So this is what he meant by getting out by myself. Cool! Maybe a tail is good for SOME things." Usagi kept fiddling with the knot until she had completely freed herself. She let the vines fall to the ground and then she walked back to the battlefield to rejoin her brother.
Usagi hid behind a tree so her father would not see her. She was afraid that if he did, he would just re-tie her to the tree again. She poked her head out from behind the tree just in time to see Gohan slam his head into the stomach of her father. She closed her eyes. "That looked like it really hurt." She foreced herself to reopened her eyes.
Goku flipped backwards onto his feet, never letting his body fall to the ground. He retaliated back at Gohan with a swift punch to the jaw.
Usagi watched as her father took the fight into the air. Gohan followed. They started the fight back up again. She stomped her feet on the ground. "Daddy! You said I could fight too. How could you forget about me?" Usagi whined. Now she couldn't fight with them anymore. Usagi started to walk to her hill where she always watched them fight. She was disappointed. She really did want to fight with them.
Usagi sat down once she got to her hill. She put her hand to her forehead to shelter her eyes from the bright sun as she looked up to watch the fight. "This isn't fair. I want to play too. I wish I could fly." Usagi thought for a moment and then remembered that with the help of Nimbus she could fly. "Nimbus!"
She waited for the yellow cloud to come to her. "This is going to be fun." Usagi climbed onto Nimbus when it landed at her feet. "Come on Nimbus! Let's go to the fight!" Usagi was thrown back to a sitting position as Nimbus took off in a flash. "Whoa!"
Goku and Gohan were too pre-occupied with their fight to realize that Usagi was also there sitting on Nimbus. Goku was so caught up in the moment that he forgot that he was not supposed to use energy waves. He cupped his hands and pulled them to his side. "KA-ME…" A blue ball of energy formed in his hands.
Gohan welcomed it. He knew he could block it, or at least hit it back to him. "Go ahead and try father." He grinned.
Usagi took this opportunity to fly behind her father. "Here I go on One…Two… THREE!" Usagi closed her eyes and jumped from Nimbus onto her father's back. She wrapped her arms and legs around his body so she would not fall off.
"What the…" Goku stopped his attack short. The energy ball faded away as he dropped his power level. He turned his head to see what had just attached itself to his back. He was a little bit surprised to see that it was his daughter. "Usagi?"
Usagi giggled. "Hi daddy. I want to play too." Before she gave her father time to react she climbed up his back to sit on his shoulders. She strung her legs around his neck and pulled his head back by his hair.
Goku didn't know what she was going to do but he was sure she didn't like it. "Usagi!" He raised his hands to pull her off of his shoulders.
Gohan was curious as to what Usagi had planned for him. He noticed his father lifting his hands. 'Well we can't have little Usagi's plans ruined now can we?' He shoved his fist into his father's stomach. "Don't try anything dad. We've got you under control now." Gohan laughed to himself.
Goku pulled his hands away from his daughter, just as he was about to grab her, and wrapped them around his stomach. "Gees you guys."
Usagi was nearly thrown off of her father's shoulders as he bent over. She could feel herself slipping down his back. She looked below her. She was too far off the ground to make a safe landing. She began to get scared. She looked around and examined her options. She needed to act quickly. If she didn't she would either slip off or be thrown off by her father. She looked up and decided to use his hair as leverage. "Hehehe." She grabbed his hair and pulled herself back up with it.
Goku's head was pulled back. "AAHHOOWW!"
Usagi was back up on his shoulders again. She smiled to herself as she pulled his head back so she could look directly into his eyes. "Daddy, I know you're stronger than this." With that she made a fist and punched him in the face 5 times.
Goku grabbed Usagi and held her in front of him so he could look at her face to face, when she stopped hitting him. "You know, you are getting strong." Goku grinned. Usagi coward. She knew he had something planned. "But not strong enough to beat me." With that being said, Goku threw Usagi to her brother.
Gohan caught his little sister in his arms. "What are you doing dad?"
"Take care of your sister. I'll be back in a little while. I'm going to get her friends so we can teach them how to use Ki blasts." Goku turned around and flew away in the direction of the city.
Gohan hated it when he just up and stopped the fight without warning. He looked down at his sister, who was now nicely curled up in his arms. She reminded him of Pan when she was Usagi's age. So young, yet, so eager to learn how to fight. Gohan had never in his life expected to have a little sister, but he was happy that she was there.
Gohan lowered himself to the ground and walked over to the tree where his father had tied Usagi up. He sat down and leaned against the tree with Usagi still in his arms. She was resting her head against him. "You look tired Usagi."
Usagi didn't move her head. "I am."
Gohan hugged Usagi closer to him. She was warm. He couldn't remember the last time he had held a child. It had been about 15 years probably. It brought back memories of when Pan was little. He couldn't hold her anymore for she was already 25 years old. Time had flown by so quickly. "Usagi, did dad teach you how to fight like that?"
Usagi slightly lifted her head from her brother. "Like what?"
"Well you know, how you climbed on him and everything. I'm sure you got that trick with your boot from Vejita's influence." Gohan was still laughing inside about that one.
Usagi shook her head. "No, that was just something that I decided to do."
"I wondered. I've never seen anyone do that before and I didn't think that dad would have taught you to fight like that. I was kind of funny actually. That could be pretty useful in the future." Gohan leaned his head against the tree. "Boy, I'm tired."
Usagi leaned her head back into her brother's body. "So am I." Usagi let herself drift into her thoughts as she waited for her father to return with her friends. She had had so much fun that day. She finally got what she wanted. She got to fight with her brother and father. Although it hadn't gone the way she thought it would, she still had fun. "Gohan?"
Gohan lifted his head back up to look at his sister. "Yeah?"
"Am I any good at fighting?"
"Of course you are. Dad wouldn't have let you spar with us today if he thought that you weren't good enough. Why? Do you think you're good."
Usagi didn't know if she was good or not. She had mixed feelings about her skill. "I don't know. I always get beaten."
Gohan thought back to when he was first training with Piccolo. He got beaten all the time at first too. Even when Vejita and Nappa came to earth he got himself beaten up pretty badly, but he still stuck with it. "Usagi, you aren't going to be a world class fighter overnight. These things take time. Don't worry. You are showing better progress than me when I first started."
Usagi looked up at her brother. "You? But you're an awesome fighter."
Gohan laughed. "I didn't start out this way. Believe me. It took hard work and years of training."
Usagi didn't want it to take years. She wanted to be strong now, so she could get her Dragon Ball back. She closed her eyes as she started to drift off into a deep sleep. The spar had worn her out more than she thought.
~*~*~
Goku arrived back at the field with Minako and Makoto about an hour after he left. He had stopped off at home first to get something to eat. He didn't want to train anyone on and empty stomach.
He landed with Nimbus and looked around for his children. They were no where in sight. "Where could they be? I told them I would be back." He turned to Minako and Makoto who were beginning to fight each other. "Stay here you guys. I have to go find Usagi and Gohan." Goku walked off in the direction of the trees. He could feel their energy signatures coming from there.
Gohan was awaken by the sound of something tripping over a branch. He gently picked his sister up out of his lap and placed her on the ground next to him. He didn't want to wake her if he didn't have to. He walked towards the area where he heard the sound making sure that he didn't make any sound. He didn't want to make what ever it was angry and then attack Usagi while he wasn't around. He quickly ducked behind a tree when he saw movement. He poked his head out to get better look at what he was going to have to scare off.
Goku noticed something moving from behind a tree. "Gohan? Is that you?"
Gohan sighed in relief. It wasn't a predator at all. It was just his father. He walked out from behind the tree to greet his father. "Sorry dad. We fell asleep."
Goku looked around for Usagi. He didn't see her anywhere. "That's ok. Where's your sister?"
"She's asleep back there." Gohan pointed behind him. "I didn't want to wake her up. If I would have know it was you, I would have waken her up and brought her with me."
"Ok. Well, I brought the other girls with back with me like I said I would. Why don't you go make sure that they are still there and haven't killed themselves yet and I'll get Usagi." Goku walked past his son.
"All right dad." Gohan headed out of the trees. He was looking forward to meeting his sister's friends.
Goku walked farther into the trees as he looked for his daughter. He could feel that he was getting closer and closer by the second. He followed her energy signature until he finally reached her. She was curled up by a tree and sound asleep. He hated to wake her up but she really wanted to learn how to use her energy for fighting.
He walked over to her and knelt down next to her. He placed his hand on her back and softly shook her to wake her. "Usagi, come on. Naptime is over. It's time for you to wake up. Minako and Makoto are waiting for us."
Usagi groggily opened her eyes. She couldn't make out a word that her father had just said. "What?"
"It's time for you to learn how to fly and use Ki blasts." Goku picked Usagi up and placed her on her feet. "Come on, let's go. It will be fun."
Usagi still wasn't quite awake. She grabbed her father's hand and began walking back to everyone else who were waiting for them. "Did I do good today daddy?"
Goku nodded. "Yes, you did very well today. Although that was a dirty trick you pulled on me." He looked at her face where he had hit her. It still looked pretty bad but it was beginning to scab over.
Usagi smiled. "Daddy?"
"Huh?"
"You said that everything is fair when you're fighting." Usagi leaned into her father's leg as she walked.
Goku looked forward and wrapped his arm around Usagi. "I know what I said. I never said that it wasn't fair, I just said it was a dirty trick. I also liked how you used Nimbus to rejoin the fight. That was very clever."
Usagi's smile grew on her face. "Thanks daddy. Why did you tie me to the tree?"
Goku laughed. "For the same reason you hit me over the head with your shoe. One good trick deserves another. It's just a little thing I like to call payback."
"I had fun today daddy."
"I'm glad. Uh, Usagi, You didn't hear anything bad come out of daddy's mouth today, did you?"
Usagi shook her head. "Nope. Why did you say a bad word?"
"No. Just wondering." 'Thank god."
~*~*~
Gohan watched as Minako and Makoto sparred with each other. They were good. He looked back over his shoulder and noticed that his father and Usagi coming out of the wooded area. He turned back to Minako and Makoto. "All right you guys. They're here."
Minako and Makoto stopped fighting and looked towards Gohan's direction and saw Goku and Usagi.
Usagi let go of her father's hand and ran to join her friends. "Hey you guys. This is sooo cool. We get to learn the fun way to fight."
Makoto stared at her friend. She was a mess. "Usagi, what happened to you?"
Minako looked at the wound on Usagi's face. "Yeah, you look all beat up."
Usagi looked at down to her body. She was covered in dirt. "Oh this? I was fighting with my brother, Gohan, and daddy. We had fun."
Makoto looked at Gohan and then Usagi. "That's your brother? Why do you have blonde hair and he doesn't"
Usagi shrugged. "I dunno."
Goku and Gohan walked up from behind Usagi. "All right you guys, let's get this show on the road. Minako, Makoto, I'm Gohan, Usagi's big brother."
Goku walked by Minako and Makoto. "I'll be teaching you guys. Usagi, Gohan will be teaching you. It's easier for us if we don't have too many people that we have to teach at once and since he is YOUR brother, you can train with him. Minako, Makoto, come this way." He waved for them to follow them.
Usagi watched as her friends left with he father. She looked up at her brother. "So Gohan, what are we going to do first?"
Gohan looked down to his little sister. "Well first I'm going to teach you how to fly." Gohan knew that this was going to be interesting. It would be just like the time that he taught Videl how to fly. "Ok, the first thing you have to do is concentrate…"
"Concentrate on what?"
"If you would let me finish I would tell you. Ok, concentrate your energy in your body. After you have done that, concentrate on moving that energy around as it is still in your body. Try that."
Usagi cleared her mind of her thoughts. She closed her eyes concentrated her energy in her body like Gohan had told her too.
Gohan could feel her energy begin to build up. "Good. Now try to move it around."
Usagi tried to concentrate the energy to move around. It didn't work so she concentrated harder.
Gohan could see that she was struggling. "Come on Usagi. I know you can do it." Usagi felt the energy building up in her body. Gohan stared at his sister in shock.
Usagi opened her eyes. "I can't do it Gohan. I just can't do it. It's too hard."
"What are you talking about? You're doing it!" Gohan couldn't believe it. He had never seen anyone be able to learn how to hover off of the ground so fast.
Usagi looked down. Her feet were not touching the ground. Gohan had not been lying to her. She looked at him. "I'm doing it' I'm actually doing Gohan!"
Gohan saw the happiness in his sister's face. "Good job Usagi. All you need to do is practice this for a while and then try moving yourself around. Like going forwards and backwards and left to right and then the next thing you know, you're flying."
Usagi fell to the ground and grabbed her head. "Oh, I'm dizzy now."
Gohan ran to his sister's side. "Yeah, flying takes some of your energy away. But as you progress in your training, you will gain more energy." Gohan smiled down to his sister. "So, do you want to learn how to use Ki blasts now?"
Usagi smiled. "Of course I do." She tried to shake the dizziness out of her head and stood up. She swayed a little.
"Are you sure you can do this? Are you still dizzy?" Gohan didn't want to teach her how to use Ki blasts if she was low on energy.
Usagi shook her head. "No, I'm fine."
"All right." Gohan would have to keep on eye on her and make sure she was really okay. "Ki blasts are pretty much the same as flying." Gohan saw the look of confusion on his sister's face. "Well you know how you have to concentrate the energy in your body to fly?" Usagi nodded. "Well with Ki blasts, all you have to do is concentrate your energy in your hands to form a ball of energy in them."
Usagi nodded. She slightly understood what he was talking about. "Ok, lemme try." She cupped her hands together like she had seen her father do many times. She began to concentrate her energy inside her hands. A golden ball of energy formed in her hands.
Gohan watched in amazement. She once again proved her great learning skills to him. "That's great, now release that energy on me Usagi."
Usagi looked at her brother. She brought her hands in front of her and released the energy ball at Gohan like she was told. She watched it as it smashed into his hand that he held out. It exploded when it made contact. "Wow did I do that?"
Gohan nodded. "Yes, although it wasn't very powerful, but power comes with experience."
Usagi frowned. "I can make it more powerful. Just watch." Usagi grinned as she re-cupped her hands. She would show him how strong she was. Another ball of energy formed in her hands faster than the last one. This time she concentrated all of her energy on the ball.
Gohan watched as the ball grew larger and larger in her hands. 'Damn! Dad was right. She is going to be one strong fighter.' He felt her energy signature. It was quite large for a normal kid. Then again, Usagi wasn't a normal child. She was a Super Saiyan.
When Usagi finally had filled her energy ball with enough of her energy she fired it at Gohan. She watched as he put his hands out to block it. The blast hit her brother and then her vision went black.
(Ok, that's it for this chapter. This is a nice place to stop the chapter don't you think. After all, the chapter is already 10 pages long and I'm feeling really daring today anyways. So what do you think about this chapter? Is it good or Bad? You make the call. Please review. Thank you ^_^)
