Chapter 4 Never Give A Saiyan Red Bull ^*^*^*^

We find our saiyan friends once again in the house trying to warm up from the cold weather which they had just left from. Since they had nothing better to do they all chose to watch a bit of TV. Raditz and Vegeta had gone to the fridge to raid it. As they grabbed any type of food that looked appetizing to them they came across some type of soda can that was blue and silver. It also had a bull on it.

Raditz grabbed the can becoming quite confused, "Red Bull?" asked the saiyan as he looked to the prince. Vegeta snorted.

"The woman use to drink that stuff before she got pregnant; it seemed to have woken her up more when she was up late nights working on experiments and inventions. I don't see why she insisted on drinking it. It smells like crap," the prince stated becoming quite disgusted. Raditz looked back at the can; an evil smirk slowly crept on his face as he saw some type of warning on label.

"I dare you to drink it." Vegeta eyed his saiyan friend.

"Are you insane?! I wouldn't taste that crap if my life depended on it!" exclaimed Vegeta placing the food he grabbed on the table.

Raditz smirk widened. "I triple dog dare you." Vegeta paused before shaking his head.

"No. I refuse to taint my body with that stuff!"

"Then this just proves you're too chicken to drink it." Vegeta growled as he grabbed the drink and opened it. He hesitantly drank a small sip of it before he started to gag. Raditz burst out laughing.

Vegeta glared at his friend trying to gain his breath; it was the WORST tasting stuff he ever had! He was surprised that his taste buds didn't fall off his tongue screaming. However it was as if something started to change; he started to have a lot of energy, and it started to grow. His scowl turned into a smirk as he looked at the side of the can. He saw the warning which stated something about this drink having huge amount of caffeine... and that's how he was gaining so much energy, and from a little sip too! He then though for a second, 'If I gain this much energy drinking a sip... then what about the whole can?' He looked at it in disgust before downing it all. Raditz looked at the prince in shock.

'Did he JUST drink the rest of that crap?!' But he noticed Vegeta set the can down on the table, and he had a HUGE grin plastered on his face.

"Sire?" asked Raditz.

Vegeta started to twitch before saying, "Caffeine... GOOD!" He zipped out of the room at the speed of light. And that this time Raditz' eyes were like O_O'.

"Holy Crap!" shouted the soldier hoping to find the prince before something happened to him in his state of hyper ness.

Some how or another, the saiyans in the room had flipped the channel to the movie Armageddon (I think that's how it's spelled). It was playing at the part where the ships were dodging the meteors, but one ship crashed. Goten and Goku gasped as they watched the scene happen; the other men eyed the TV.

"Why must these human's show so much romance?! And why are they all screaming about a small meteor? Are their flying skills THAT bad?" asked Bardock as stared at the movie disgusted.

"Must be..." mumbled the king as he yawned.

Goku started to sniff. "Aw... *sniff* why did the meteor have to be there? Why can't they be able to live and go back to their families?!" Goku started to cry making Raditz glare at his brother.

"Why must you have such weak emotions?" asked Raditz crossing his arms, "It's pathetic to be called the strongest." Raditz grabbed a few things from the coffee table and started to eat the food. He turned to Vegeta who was tapping his foot on the floor at unthinkable speed.

"Kakarot." The teary eyed saiyan glanced up at the prince sniffing. "Y- yes?"

"I want to spar." Goku nodded as he got up from his seat turning from the TV so he wouldn't cry anymore. The two saiyans left the room, well... Vegeta ran out of the room just wanting to get some of his energy out.

Going back to the saiyans sitting on the couch, Raditz pulled up a jar of pickles. This was no ordinary jar of pickles; it was a shatterproof jar of pickles. Not even the saiyan prince could break it with his bare hands. Raditz tried to twist the top off but his hand slipped. He tried again but the top wouldn't budge; this was starting to tick him off. The king noticed this; he shook his head in pity.

"Raditz, are you becoming weaker?" Raditz glared at the king as he continued to try and open the jar.

He gritted his teeth, "No. It's stuck." The king rolled his eyes as he grabbed the jar from Raditz. He too tried to open the jar thinking this would be an cinch, but it wouldn't budge at all. He too started to feel a bit frustrated.

They heard the front door open and close again with some people walking in. The grown men had thought it was Vegeta and Goku coming back in since they couldn't yet sense ki, but Goten and Trunks knew who had walked in the door.

"Tekego, Sakura, we're in the den," stated Trunks as he turned from the TV. They noticed the two coming in the room; Sakura didn't look the greatest however. They both sat in an empty spot on the floor. Sakura curled herself into a ball shivering.

"I found Sakura moping around her house. She told me to go away." He looked at her as she glared daggers at the teen. He had grabbed a blanket at the end of a couch to cover himself with but his sister stole it from him covering it around herself.

"HEY! I was using that!" he shouted at Sakura; she continued to glare as she wrapped the blanket closer to herself.

"Well that's just too bad. You were the one who dragged me out of bed!" she snapped.

"That's just a sign of weakness! I can't believe you would be rest-"

"TEKEGO! If you're blind to have not noticed that I'm SICK then you wou-"

"Sick?" asked Bardock stepping into the conversation.

She nodded, "Yes. Sick-" She sneezed making the other saiyans jump at the sudden noise.

"It's the damn flu shot. I keep telling my guardians that I can't take it! For heavens' sake! It's a damn poison to saiyans, but they say it's just the medicine doing its work! They don't think that I can handle the flu! I had never gotten sick till they gave me that shot 10 years ago!"

"Flue shot?" asked King Vegeta turning from the TV screen to the teenage girl.

"Yes. I'm assuming that it attacks the immune system causing it to go out of control making me sick, and to make it even worse it makes me vulnerable to any other virus, flu, or bacterial infection that may be in the air!" She wrapped herself in a ball. "I don't think the guardians care; they might just want to get rid of me making it look like an accident."

"They wouldn't want to do that; you know they care for you!" stated Goten joining the conversation.

She snorted, "I don't think they do cause as I had stated before... they have given me this damn flu shot that has made me sick for the past 10 years! WHY CAN'T THEY FIGURE IT OUT?!" She curled up into a tight ball, "Maybe I should just die..."

Every one of them turned to face her as she sunk into depression. Tekego had a look of shock on his face.

"Why would you throw away your life?" he asked her trying not to sound concerned.

"I don't have anything to live for. My parents are gone, maybe dead. And I don't have siblings that I could watch after. I don't see a purpose for living anymore!" Her expression started to become a bit distant. Tekego shook his head. Boy was she wrong; she had met her family a few months ago when she visited his home. She didn't know that his parents and two little brothers were her family; she may have to learn about them sooner than he would have liked.

"Sakura?" he asked her. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. "You're my sister," he stated bluntly. She snorted making him growl.

"It's a lie. My family is dead."

He was about to argue with her when she shot up and paused holding her chest. They all stared at her as she looked to the floor with an expression of panic on her face. She ran out of the room at the speed of light. They all watched as she ran to the closest bathroom and closing the door.

The men shook their head and Bardock stole the jar of pickles from the king. Vegeta was about to attack the saiyan for stealing the jar but to what the saiyan saw; he too couldn't open the container.

"What is wrong with this thing?!" questioned the warrior as he tried to bust the jar open with his bare hands.

Trunks and Goten looked at him, "I don't even dare try to open those things. Even with my super saiyan strength I can't make the jar budge," stated Trunks. Bardock growled as he continued to try and open the jar. At this time, Sakura made her way back into the room looking a bit pale; everyone turned to see her shuffle back into the room.

She looked up at Bardock, "Can't open it?" she asked eyeing the jar.

"Nope," he replied as he threw it to the ground. She picked it up, positioned her arm in a strange way and quickly jerked the lid one way making a popping noise. She then used her other hand to twist the top off and handed it back to the saiyan. Every man in the room looked back at the lid and to Sakura in a daze. The men who had attempted to open the jar were now mentally kicking themselves for not being able open the jar as easily as Sakura had.

"How... how did you do that?" questioned the king eyeing the jar. Sakura shrugged as she pulled the blanket up to her shoulders.

Bardock spoke up, "Um... what has happened while you were 'sick' or poisoned from this 'flu shot'?"

She sighed leaning back on to the sofa she was sitting next too. "I've been very tired, I can't sleep too well... I can't see straight, think strait, I can't eat or drink... I haven't been able too because I've been vomiting-"

"Eat? You can't eat?!" questioned the saiyan king, "How long has it been since you last ate?"

She started to count on her fingers before replying, "I about 4 days I think... I've been sleeping much though."

"WHA?!" All saiyans stared at her as if she grew another head. She growled at them in response.

"Then why don' you all get the flu shot to prove me wrong?! Or are you just scared to?" she asked in a mocking tone.

"Saiyans are never scared!" shouted the king. Sakura was about shout at the king when Vegeta came into the room with a HUGE, and I mean HUGE, grin on his face. He had Goku lying across his right shoulder unconscious.

"Dad?" asked Trunks looking at his dad strangely.

"I beat Kakarot."
