That I don't like
Chapter 11: PLEASE NO NOOOOO!!!
Later that same day in the afternoon Zarbon approached Radditz, "None of us have seen her. She's dead isn't she?"
"No, she nearly died but she's alive, just tired, very tired." Radditz sighed.
"So a celebration."
"Ah, no. Ask her first. She might not be up to it."
"So ask her when to do it."
"NO!" Radditz roared, "Ask her whether or not she even WANTS to do it!"
"Are you saying she might not even want to do it?!"
"Yes Dodoria exactly," Zarbon had understood immediately and had just listened to Dodoria make an idiot of himself.
"Shut up Zarbon! I am going to go ask her myself!"
"No." It was Vegeta. "She will come out when she is ready. Not before. If you talked to her now pinky you would likely get a broken nose."
"Why would you know that Vegeta?" Radditz chuckled.
Vegeta said wryly, "I just do; don't go see her."
Vegeta and Radditz walked out of the room. Radditz's amusement disappeared quickly. "Why did you do it Vegeta?"
"I caught her. I only held on to her for a couple of seconds." He said this almost stoically but not quite. "Radditz if you are so mad at me than why did you act as if all was normal?"
"You are my Prince. I have pledged my loyalty to you. But when it comes to Kid; family comes first from now on. No disrespect meant, prince, but she is the last thing I have left of my family, really the last thing that I have. I will still serve you faithfully but I will stand up for her. I will stand against you for her, not publicly, but privately. I deeply apologize if this was too forward, I am sorry my prince." Radditz bowed deeply, "now if you will excuse me, I am going to check on Kid, sir."
Vegeta's expression twitched for a moment into something resembling respect.
"Radditz! Watch out for the boxes you set up to hit people."
Radditz grinned "You saw that?"
Vegeta smirked "Watched you set it up. Pretty good for a third class," knowing that was the most extravagant compliment he would get from Vegeta, Radditz bowed in acknowledgement and continued down the hall.
Bardock smiled lazily, well, well, Radditz does have dedication to somethin' after all; family.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So how are you kid?"
"Well *cough* my neck hurts and my esophagus kind of burns when I inhale but other than that, I am great!! *cough*"
Radditz chuckled "so how would you feel about a….celebration in your honor?"
"A celebration?"
"Yes."
"A party?"
"I guess so."
"A social gathering?"
"Pretty much."
"Well I have two reasons for my answer. I would feel bad if I went. I upset Vegeta and that is just like bragging about it. But it would most likely irk him. Reason two," Kid got off of her bed and walked to the door. "Well let's just forget reason two and just say no."
"Why, Brat? I would really like you to do this."
"No"
"Kid, you are going to do it."
"No"
"Why?"
"NOT A SOCIAL GATHERING PLEASE!! I DON'T WANT TO BE SOCIAL!! I WANT TO STAY BY MYSELF!! DON'T MAKE ME GO!! PLEASE!!" She took off down the hall screaming bloody murder…or her second reason. "I DON'T WANT TO GO!!! THE SMALL TALK the people, the groups the headaches the drinks! Everything!! I CAN'T I CAN'T DO IT I CAN'T BE SOCIAL!! GIVE ME A BOOK ANYDAY OVER PARTIES!!"
Radditz caught her and asked for a sensible explanation as to why she wouldn't do it.
She stopped yelling but had such a look of pain on her face it had the same effect. "I don't like being social. I don't like talking to people I don't know. I don't like parties. I don't like talking its scary. I don't like small talk or polite dinners. An extended period of time without a book or something kills me; it is time wasted! I could be reading!"
"Bookworm"
"Thank you."
"That wasn't a compliment."
"Really? Bookworms tend to be smart so I thought it was."
"You!? Smart?!"
"You're right, unbelievable."
"You're going"
"Do I have too?"
"Yes go ahead take an hour to sulk then return to your room to get ready."
"You mean I can't just go like this?"
"No."
"Yes Ni-san, I understand."
"Go ahead, go and sulk."
Kid started mumbling incoherently under her breath and walking slowly down the hall, not paying attention to where she was going, meandering along.
She had just decided it was time to head back when she bumped into…
Vegeta…
