In The Time Of The Cherry Blossoms

Chapter 4 Planning His Demise

The day after I got into Law School, Trunks took me to one of the meetings of the group. My underground name would be, he said, Cherry Blossom. I think it was perfect since it had been what Kino had called me. Trunks was known as Vegga and Uncle as Kankka. The meeting was, as I thought, very interesting.

A tall boy stood above the crowd of men on a stage above the group of men and myself. He had black hair that was in a mohawk and his frame was very masculine. His name was Uub, known under code name Majin.

"No longer shall we support this evil!" he yelled to the crowd and received some cheers of agreement. "We will stand up to him and his group of fiends! We will take no more!"

"But how?" a person asked. " There is only so little of us. How will we get the support?"

"Yes," another asked, "Others don't even know of Frieza's terror!"

Uub seemed to think this over. "What do you think we should do? We need ideas."

"Maybe we can informed them." I said receiving confused and surprised stares. I tried to sound professional. "I mean, we could hang posters that show pictures and commentaries. It will enlighten people on what he really is and what he does."

"And who are you?" Uub stepped down the stage and approached. He had a hint of confusion on his face as if to say he was upset of my being there.

"I brought her here." Trunks spoke up. "She's one I told you about."

His face turned to a smile. "The one who slapped Frieza himself? The prodigy of hope, who is fearless when confronting the devil, here in person? It is an honor to meet you dear Cherry Blossom." He kissed my hand.

My face blushed. "I'm not that special."

"I beg a differ. So Cherry Blossom," he said, "What is your idea on these posters? How do we know that they will read them? Or even that the army won't tear them down?"

I thought for a second.

"We can put them all around the time square, people always go there to the market so we can trust that they can be read. Also, we can hang posters and pictures on store windows. People who go to shop can see them and know what's going on. There will be so many that even the whole army couldn't put them all down"

"Wouldn't that put the store owners in jeopardy?

"Then it will prove our point and the people will know that we speak the truth."

Uub seemed to consider this then smirked. "All who agree to Cherry Blossoms plan raise your hands."

There was much talk as every one smiled and raised theirs hands in agreement to my idea.

Uub smiled at me. "So it is done. We will meet at your home tomorrow afternoon to discuss the plans. Until then, take care, be safe."

The meeting was over and the men shook my hand. Uncle and Trunks congratulated me. I couldn't believe others had heard of me and looked at me for their hope. It was a bit over whelming but I was glad I gave people hope.

The next day as the group came and went into my home, we began to make a preparation for what we would do that night. After everyone was introduced and snacks and drinks were handed out, we began to talk.

"Brol Li and Raddish will take to the stores," Uub directed as he pointed to the map of the town. "Sushi, Mits, Aztec, and Manzu will be by the alleys, Vegga, Kankka, Cherry Blossom, Manky, Tsuna and myself will take time square. Make sure every poster can be seen. Everyone should wear black so we can't be seen. Any questions so far?"
"What if one of us is caught?' I asked.

Uub looked at uncle and Trunks.

"You didn't tell her?" he asked.

Uncle shook his head. "I thought Trunks already did."

Trunks smacked himself. "I forgot to."

"Tell me what?" I looked at them for an answer.

Uub put a black bag on the table and took out a gun. He stared at me very seriously "The bullets in this gun are strong enough to pierce even through Saiyan skin, which also means it can kill humans like myself and the others."

I nodded trying to see what he was getting at.

"Everyone here has been given a gun with the same bullet. Every gun has one bullet. You have taken the oath as well as everyone else here did by joining this rebellion. No one will tell or betray the group. If you are caught, you will use this gun; not against them, but against yourself."

I nodded understanding what I would have to do if I was caught.

"So I give this to you." He handed me the gun. "I trust you understand."

I slowly took it and my hands trembled. He smiled at me.

"Do not worry. No one has used theirs as of yet. I doubt you will have to."

"... uh huh..." I managed to say still staring at the gun in my hands, hoping I would never have to use it.

"Anymore questions? ... Good. The rendezvou-point will be at-"

Knock Knock!

Uub and the others looked up startled.

I blinked a few times confused.

Uub looked at me. "You didn't tell anyone about today did you?"

I shook my head. "No, noone."

Knock Knock!

He nodded and they all gathered the map and all the rest of the stuff.

"Where can we hide?" Mits asked worriedly.

"Go to my room and closed the door."

Knock Knock!

I put up my hair and tried to look natural as I walked to the door and the person knocked again sounding irritated.

"Coming!" I called and made sure they were out of sight. I opened the door praying to Dende it wasn't officers of Frieza.

Instead, a gentle face was there and I hugged my friend Bra.

She smiled and came inside. "What took you so long to open the door?"

"Uh, I was ...um, taking a shower." I lied.

She gave me a questioned look. "But your hair isn't wet."

I mentally slapped myself. "I mean, I was getting ready to take a shower. I had to redress because I was in the bathroom."

"Is anyone else here?" she looked around for others. "I heard voices."

I stepped in front of her and smiled. "No, no. My neighbor puts her TV on loud."

She looked satisfied with my answer and bowed her head. "Sorry. I didn't mean to get you at a bad time."

She began to walk to the dinning room when I grabbed her hand. "But what are you doing here? I mean, won't Vegeta get mad? I don't think he likes for you to come into town all by yourself."

She laughed and shook me off. "Aw, who cares? I can visit my friend and make sure she's ok. Well actually, my mom sent me to get some things from the market but told me to hurry because my father would be home at four and-"

She noticed two coffee mugs on the table and some cookies on a plate. She looked at me. "Was someone else here?"

I shook my head. "No, I just like to uh, have two cups of coffee out so I don't have to get up."

"Oh! Look at your view!" she went out to the balcony. I sighed only to see Uub and Uncle motioning for me.

I quickly glanced at Bra to make sure she couldn't see and went up to them.

"Why aren't you in my room?!" I whispered harshly.

"We can't. It's locked."

I smacked my fore head and grunted. There was a lock on my door! How could I forget? I went to my purse to give them the key when I heard the sliding glass door open.

"Pan? Where'd you go?" I heard Bra ask.

I quickly rush the boys to a closet and shoved them in.

"We all can't fit." my uncle protested.

"Try to!" I slammed the door just as Bra walked in.

"What are you doing?" she asked confused.

"I... um, was putting things away. It's such a mess!"

She smiled. "I'll help you." she went to the living room to clean.

"No! That's ok." I called to her.

The closet opened.

"Pan, we can't breath!" Uub almost shouted.

"Shh."

"Tell her to go home." I heard Trunks yell.

"Pan?" Bra said.

I slammed the door and heard Uub scream in pain. I opened the door again and saw his hand a deep red.

"Sorry." I said.

"I need ice-" I slammed the door before he could finish.

"Who are you talking to? And why do you keep slamming the door?"

"Uh.. That's not important right now." I grabbed her arm and began to pull her towards the door.

"What are you doing?"

"It's just, I don't want you to get in trouble with Vegeta. I'm glad you came by but you have to go."

"But Pan! Don't worry about my dad. He wouldn't care and-" she frowned when she saw a Capsule Corps jacket on the couch. "Oh. I see."

"What?" I looked at the item.

"That's Trunks jacket. I know now. Why didn't you just tell me?"

"Bra, it' not what you think. Really!"

"Uh huh, sure. I bet that was Trunks I heard! I bet he's in the closet too!"

"Well-" I shrugged.

"You could've just told e before sneaking behind my back!"

"But Bra-"

"Forget it. I'll come by another time. I'm sorry I interrupted your evening." she walked out the door and slammed it behind her.

I sighed. I didn't want to hurt her! But now she thinks I was hiding something from her, and by something I mean going out with her brother.

I heard the door open.

"Is it safe to come out?" I heard my uncle say.

I began to walk back. "Yes."

As fast as I had said it, they all rushed out gasping for air. I tried not to laugh.

"What did she say?" Trunks asked after a while.

"She got mad and left."

"Why'd she get mad?" uncle asked.

I leaned against the wall. "She thought I was keeping something from her." I didn't want to say exactly what.

They nodded and left it at that.

Uub cleared his throat. "Well, let's just break up and meet tonight at twelve near the train station. The rendezvous point will be at the abandoned warehouse. Everyone cleared on their jobs?"

The group nodded.

Uub smiled. "Ok then. This meeting has come to a close. See you all tonight."

The men grabbed their belongings and began to leave with the exception of my uncle and Trunks.

Uub stopped at the door and looked at me. "Who was that girl anyway?"

"That was my friend Bra. She's Trunks younger sister."

He nodded and left. I closed the door softly.

"What's wrong Pan?" uncle asked.

"I feel bad. Bra left angry." I leaned against the door.

"Don't worry. You can explain it to her later. She shouldn't even be here in the first place. I hope dad doesn't find out, I'd never hear the end of it." Trunks sighed.

"Yeah but I still feel bad. I should probably go after her."

"She most in likely is already gone." uncle said. "Don't worry about it. She'll understand."

"Yeah..." I sighed. "Are you guys going to stay over tonight?"

"If it's ok." Trunks sat on the couch.

"Of course it's ok. I'll start to make lunch."

"Great! I'm starving!" uncle rubbed his tummy.

I smiled and went to the kitchen hoping Bra would understand and that she would be okay.

About two blocks from Pan's townhouse, Bra sat on a bench sulking. She was too busy worried about what had happened she didn't even look up when a tall man approached.

"Excuse me?" he asked. "But why are you crying?"

Bra seemed uneasy about the stranger. "It's nothing. I'm fine."

"You are Bra right? I can explain about Pans' behavior."

Bra looked up surprised and finally looked at the man. Her heart swooned. She couldn't even speak.

He held out his hand and smiled. "My names Uub."

That night, we all got ready and left for the meeting spot. We walked quickly but secretly to our posts and got to work. As I was hanging up one last poster, someone came up from behind and hung up one next to me. I gasped when I saw who it was.

"Bra! What are you doing here?!"

"Helping you guys out." she said proudly.

"But you can't-"

"Don't bother trying to kick me out. I already made up my mind."

"How'd you find out about-"

"Uub found me after what happened at your house. Sorry I got angry, I didn't know that you were part of this kind of after school club." she smiled. "After he told me, I couldn't resist. I had to help."

"Does Trunks know?"

She smirked. "Not yet."

Before I could respond Mitts, Aztec and Sushi ran up.

"Hurry! We have to go!" Sushi called.

"What's wrong?" Uub asked concerned.

"Frieza's officers! They found us and started shooting. They got Manzu." Mits cried.

"What?!"

"Manzu's dead!"

Just then, an alarm went off and cars were heard speeding towards us. Uub dropped everything and called to us.

"Everyone! Retreat! We've been discovered!"

I grabbed Bra's hand and ran to a dark alley, the others all scattered.

Bra looked worried and held my hand tight.

"This is dangerous." She whispered to me.

"Exactly why you shouldn't be here. You could get hurt!"

"Yeah but, if you're willing to risk your life, who am I if I do not do the same?"

I couldn't help but smile at her.

"Alright, you can stay."

"Thanks Pan Chan."

As we stopped to catch our breath, we heard some gun shots. Bra gasped, and tighten her grip on my hand.

"Did you feel that?" she asked almost in a whisper.

I nodded slowly. "Ki blasts..."

"Where's Uub, Trunks, and Goten?"

"I don't know."

"Well, there's certainly not a dull moment, I can tell you that much."

"Bra, can I asked you something?"

"Uh huh."

"Why did you get mad?"

"When? Earlier?"

"Yeah. You thought I was dating Trunks and got all upset. Why?"

Bra shifted uneasy. "Well, to tell you the truth, I was mad because you two have been getting close lately. I thought that when you wanted me to leave, that you would rather be with him than hang out with me." she shrugged. "I guess I was just jealous. I thought Trunks was stealing my best friend and you were stealing my brother. Kind of stupid, huh?"

I smiled. "Bra, no one will ever replace you, no one. your my best friend and I will never ditch you for a guy, I promise."

She smiled and hugged me. I hugged her back and smirked.

"You seem taken with Uub." I said.

She blushed. "Well, he is cute and very nice. I think I like him."

"He seems to like you too."

"Really?"

"Yep. He asked me who you were and what your name was after you left."

"Wow."

We both laughed but stopped when we heard a noise.

A car slowly came down the alley.

I gasped and quickly looked for a way out with out being seen or caught. Bra sensed my desperation and she too began to look. She saw an open door and pulled me into it. She slammed the door, locked it and we both went up against the wall.

We heard it creeping slowly and saw it's light from under the door. We both caught our breath as we heard it stop and the doors open. The foot steps got closer until they were right outside the door. Bra grabbed my hand and squeezed it. All of time seemed to slow down as the knob began to shake.

We heard muffled voices from the outside.

"Are you sure you saw something?"

"Yeah and it went this way."

"It's locked. You're just imagining things."

"I think they ran in here. Help me open it."

"I don't-"

CRASH!

Gun shots were fired and I covered Bra's mouth to stop her from screaming.

The men cursed outside.

"Just a damn cat!"

"Idiot."

"Sorry."

The cars doors shut again and the car drove away.

We both sighed out of relief and Bra forced a smile.

"That was close." she said.

"Too close." I smiled back.

"Should we wait until-"

"Hush!" I whispered when I heard footsteps again.

Bra went up against the wall. "I thought they already left!"

"Shh... I know, I know..."

The foot steps stopped at the door and the knob moved. When it didn't open, the person threw a ki blast at it and it broke. The door swung open and-

"Goten!" Bra yelled.

Uncle smiled. "Close call you two. We were about to jump in before that cat appeared. What luck!"

"Don't ever scare me like that again!" Bra smacked him.

He laughed and looked at me smiling. "We were right behind you before Uub got shot. We had to hide in a closed space. We saw you stop over here but before we could tell you to come with us, that car appeared. We were worried about you."

"Is he going to be okay?" we both asked in unison.

"Yeah, he just got hit in the arm."

"You're not surprised that Bra's here?"

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Nope. Uub told us when he saw you two. I was surprised and I'm still not happy about it, but it is your choice."

Bra nodded. "It's what I want to do."

Uncle smirked. "You have to deal with your brother though. He took Uub to the hospital fuming. He's pissed that Uub invited you along without asking him first."

"Well he needs to get over it. It's my life."

"Come on then. Let's get out of here before they come back."

We ran down the alley, walked to the hospital, careful not to be seen.

So then we had a new member to our group. Bra was a good friend and was very cautious yet good at helping. She took the responsibility and accepted the risks that came with the rebellion. She truly is a good friend.
