bit.)
Chapter Five
Prove Yourself
Laying on the ground, Arana opened her eyes and stared up into the sky. She blinked a few times before realizing where she was and she quietly got to her feet. Dusting herself off, her eyes trailed to in front of her and she saw Frieza yet again. She nearly sprang fifteen feet away from him. "My lord, do you know how ugly you are?" she shouted.
Silently, Frieza walked up to her, Arana tried to run but her legs only let her take half a step back. "You fear me, don't you, you little pipsqueak?" he asked her, a bit of malice in his voice.
Crossing her arms and trying to act tough, Arana replied, "Did you just call me a 'pimp-squeak'?"
"You infernal rat," he growled.
Arana, now ignoring him, turned around and began to walk away. "An infernal rat? An Inferno Rat!" Arana laughed, "I am the Inferno Rat!" she said, her voice deep and booming, to human standards at least.
Walking up to her, Cell had a slightly perplexed expression on his face. "What are you talking about?"
Shrugging, Arana said, "I am the Inferno Rat!" She then jumped backward a bit and lowered herself down. She pointed at Cell and shouted, "The Inferno Rat needs not answer to the likes of thee!"
"See what an annoying creature it is?" came a raspy voice.
Standing up straight, Arana looked to Cell and asked, "Was I just called an it?"
"Yes," he replied, "You were also called annoying."
"I don't give a crap about that! I was called an 'it'!" Balling up her fists, Arana shouted behind her, "Alright you wascally wabbit... show your ugly assed face!" When Frieza stepped out into the clearing, Arana covered her eyes and whimpered, "Go back into hiding, back into hiding!"
Cell smirked ever so slightly and the human girl's attention snapped onto him. "Aw, cute!" she said, smiling as well. She crossed her arms and nodded while saying, "You should definitely smile more."
"If you weren't dead," said Frieza to the girl, "I'd kill you."
Turning her head towards Frieza, the girl grumbled, "What's your malfunction?"
Bending down a bit, Cell whispered in her ear, "There's more than one," and the girl busted out laughing while Cell continued to smirk just a bit.
The human then looked up at Cell and said, "So are you going to blast it?" as she indicated Frieza.
"Nope," replied Cell, "You are."
"I am, okay..." She then picked up on the words. "WHAT? I am?! No way! There ain't no way, no how!"
"Prove yourself," the tall green creature said. "Show me that you can beat it."
"But I can't!" Arana said to him. "Cell, I can't do that! I'm an ordinary human, not no superhero!" She then crossed her arms and grumbled, "Remember, I lost to you."
"Consider it training," he said and then, that same little smirk on his lips, he said, "I won't let you lose." He then walked off to the side and sat down on the ground.
"All right," Arana mumbled, feeling extremely queasy. She got into a fighting stance and then said, "Hey, freak, don't hit me in the tummy, I'm likely to spew..." Cell just shook his head in slight disappointment.
Arana looked to him and asked, "What? Is it because I said tummy? Or was it because I said I would spew?"
Frieza took the opening in the girl's defense and sent a blast of energy at her. It caught her square in the side and sent her flying. At that second that Arana flew off, Cell's hand slightly twitched and Frieza was blasted away. "Memo to self," grumbled Cell, "Never tell her to 'prove herself' ever again..." Cell then teleported from his spot and caught Arana in his arms before she had even hit the ground.
Reaching up and poking Cell in between the eyes with her right pointer finger, Arana growled, "Don't you ever tell me to 'prove myself' ever again." She then passed out.
Much later that day, when Arana awoke, she was back under the tree that she and Cell usually sat near. She stirred just a bit and opened her eyes. Noticing she was still in Cell's arms, her entire body tensed up.
Opening his right eye, Cell looked down at her as she quickly relaxed and fell asleep once again. He closed his eyes once more. He wasn't sleeping, it was more like meditating.
The next time that the tall green creature opened his eyes, Arana was standing at the edge of the hill, just before the slope. She seemed to be in deep thought as she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and looked out over Hell.
Slowly, she turned her head to look at Cell, he closed his eyes quickly, and when she turned her head back around, he opened them again. He watched her sit down and hug her knees to her chest as if something had gone horribly wrong. He would ask about the problem, but he already knew the answer, "No, nothing's wrong..."
(A/N: Okay, this one wasn't as good... maybe cause I was writing upside down AND I was sleepy... Maybe I should just take that job as the Pants Ninja... it would seem much more fun... hehe)
