A/N: Hey Everyone. Sorry for the lack pf updates. Don't worry, I won't go into any detail about excuses, like my 7th grade algebra teacher always said "Excuses are like noses, everybody has one." Thanks for your patience!

Chapter 7: Turn for the Worse

Kuririn looked up from where he was sitting on the living room couch to watch Juuhachigou as she descended from the staircase. He thought she looked like an angel, even if she was only wearing a plain, pale blue t-shirt and jeans. Of course in his opinion she could be wearing tattered rags and would still be the same blonde eyeful as before.

"Kuririn!" Juuhachigou's bellow startled him out of his deep train of concentration. "I want to get there as soon as possible, so we can leave quicker!"

"Oh…um….yes ma'am." Kuririn stammered as he hastily jumped up out of his seat and opened the door, letting her out first. Neither said a word as they both flew off into the cerulean blue sky.

Music played softly in the background, as many people gathered around for the social gathering. The vast yard of Capsule Corp. was littered with people that neither Kuririn or Juuhachigou had ever seen. Kuririn assumed many of them were various workers of the company. Kuririn looked around for someone he recognized, with Juuhachigou following track, when he finally spotted Yamcha chatting with Chi Chi as well as Bulma at a nearby table.

"Hey guys!" Kuririn exclaimed, waving his hand toward the group. Juuhachigou followed closely behind him, not sure of what to do or say.

Bulma was the first to approach them. "So Kuririn, who's this friend of yours?" she asked looking at Juuhachigou giving him a nudge in the arm and an obvious wink.

"Oh…um….this is Juuhachigou she-"

"She's not one of the androids now is she!" Chi Chi bellowed, frying pan in one hand, while her other hand was clenched in a tight fist.

"Hey Chi Chi don't worry!" Kuririn exclaimed calming down the crazy, livid woman. "You don't have to worry about her, she's good person now, she's changed for the better."

"Humph, well I guess I guess I can trust your judgments on people, or robots, Kuririn." Chi Chi said taking a deep breath before sitting down to calm her nerves.

"Well," said Yamcha not taking notice to what just happened, "it looks like I owe you some money." He wriggled his eyebrows in a suggestive way as he pulled out his checkbook, which he so conveniently carried.

"Why do you owe him money?" Juuhachigou asked out of curiosity.

"Well you see, I made a bet with Kuririn about a week ago, that he wouldn't be able to get a date for this party." Yamcha started, not noticing Kuririn's worried and nervous expressions. "But it turns out he got quite a bargain."

Juuhachigou felt like she was about to explode, as she turned toward Kuririn, her face burning with ferocity. "So I'm now I'm just a damn bet! I can't believe this!" Before letting anyone else say anything, she took off into the sky, not caring what any of the normal people watching thought, or to see the hurt expression on Kuririn's face.

"And to think I thought he was the only person I could trust, and possibly open up to!"

Well that was a pathetic and a half cliffhanger, but whatever. Well anyway, thanks for reading. I'm not too thrilled with how this turned out but its better then nothing. And didn't Juuhachigous little yelling spree at the end sound sort of like a scene from the movie She's All That…oh well. I'm not feeling too spiffy right now so a review would be nice.
