Tachiagair Jakunen
Written by: Fira Flame
I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.
This is a re-written version of the original copy of Tachiagair Jakunen, which I had written in the fall of 2002. It sucked, really bad, so here I am, re-writing it...
Enjoy!

Chapter 16
"Hey, you, come back here."
Teri glanced over her shoulder to find Keeren walking up to her. She smiled weakly and continued going into the basement with a basket of clothing in tow. Keeren frowned and hovered down the steps behind her.
"Hey, what's up, you've been so gloomy lately."
"It's nuthin..."The saiya-elf muttered, turning and heading for the washing machine.
"Okay, now I know your lying. It's never, EVER, nothing when you're acting like this. I know you better that you think." Keeren crossed her arms across her chest and leaned against the dryers. "Is Leggie refusing to go down on you or something?"
Teri dropped the shirt she was pulling out of the basket and glared over her shoulder at the lavender haired saiya-jin. Her cheeks were pink.
"No, and if that were true, I wouldn't tell you."
Keeren blinked and eased down. "Well, what's wrong then?"
Teri sighed, closing the washing machine and turning it on. She bit her lip and pulled herself up to sit on the machine.
"I'm worried that it might be my fault if Missy gets a miscarriage..." She bit her fingernails absently.
Keeren arched an eyebrow and joined her on top of the machines. "Why would it be your fau-- Wait, why would she have a miscarriage?"
Teri bit off a large chunk of her thick Saiya-jin nails, and it flew across the room. "Because... the other night, when we barbecued, me an' her were fighting, and I punched her in the stomach. I--I didn't MEAN to, it was just a reaction to her swinging at me." She gnawed at her fingers faster. "And she hasn't talked to me since, and I don't know what I'd do if she gets a miscarriage and it's my fault, an--"
Teri stopped rambling when Keeren reached over and encircled her in a hug.
"Stop this, stop this right now." The saiya-jin said. "It's not your fault, neither is it Missy's. I'm sick of hearing you blaming yourself for everything that happens to her that's even remotely your fault. You did this when Missy broke her ankle, you did it when we got in that car accident, and if you start doing it now, I'll just shoot y'both so I don't have to deal with it anymore."
"...does it really get that annoying...?" Teri questioned.
"Yes, yes it does." Keeren rubbed Teri's shoulder with her cheek. "And I'll remind you that I was driving that one time, and it was my fault for not paying attention to the road."
"But-- me and Missy were arguing and I pushed you on accident..."
"No, no no no no no. It was my fault. Now shaddap."
Teri frowned and sunk into Keeren's arms.
"Now, cheer up. Christmas is coming." Keeren sat up and scratched Teri's head, still not used to seeing it straight and shiny, instead of a mass of curls. "I'll go talk to Missy, and we can see if we can't get this all sorted out. M'kay?"
Teri nodded, not looking up. Keeren frowned again, and she itched at Teri's feet. Teri pulled her foot away, but Keeren grabbed it and tickled. Teri squealed and slipped off her posterior and ended up hanging by her foot off the edge of the washing machine. Keeren looked over the edge, smirking.
"Sorry."

Keeren bit her lip as she stepped up to the door. She had yet to hear Melissa's side of the story. Was Melissa extremely pissed about it, or was she just worried? She wondered if the healer wanted to rip of Teri's head or not... the thought worried her. She knew that Melissa was extremely protective of children, and she knew that when she had her own, it would be thrice fold. And the threat of a miscarriage from her own sister must be the worst onto her. How pissed will she get?
She shook her head and knocked on the door, knowing Melissa would be in her room. Tasuki had gone out with Mirai, GT Trunks, Chiriko and Nuriko for a little fun out in the backyard.
"Yeah?" Melissa's voice came from inside.
"It's me." Keeren replied to the door. A moment passed, something hit the floor inside with a soft 'thump' and she received a response.
"C'mon in."
Keeren opened the door and peeked around it, finding Melissa sitting up in her bed, wearing loose pajama pants and a loose shirt. The shirt obviously looked like it was just thrown on, her hair was still stuck under the collar.
"Whassup?"
Keeren walked over and sat next to the healer. Melissa looked nervous, tense, and in pain.
"Nothing... just got back from a chat with Teri..."
"If she thinks that this is whole thing is my fault--she can go to hell."
Keeren was taken aback from her sudden response. So, she was really pissed.
"Actually... she thinks it's all her fault..."
"Good, because it is!"
The lavender haired Saiya-jin bit her lip. Fuck, this wasn't going well. Oh well, time for brute force.
"Damnit Missy!" Keeren growled, balling her fists. "Knock it the fuck off!"
Melissa blinked and then glared.
"Knock what off? It IS her fault!"
"THAT'S what I'm telling you to knock off!" Keeren stood from the bed and glared right back. "You're acting as if your view on the situation is all your fault and you have nothing to be ashamed of! Teri's down there sulking and moaning about how bad SHE feels, and how GUILTY she is! She has feelings too!"
Melissa opened her mouth to protest, but Keeren held up her hand and silenced her.
"You know how bad things get when things happen to her and she's involved. She gets so guilty that she starts acting as if the world's gonna end if she screws up again. I know that she's the one who hit you, but she wasn't the one who started it! You started it, you caused this yourself, and if you don't apologize to her, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold the same dignity in you as a did before."
Keeren took a deep breath and walked out of the room, her tail lashing around angrily behind her.
Melissa was shocked to silence. That was the first time Keeren blown up on her with such rash words, about Teri no less. Usually they kept the subject of her older sister at bay, hoping the older woman knew how to take care of herself. And the main thing, Keeren was right. It was her fault, and she was the one that needed to apologise. Teri had no reason to apologise, except for letting herself be blinded by natural reactions.
*********************
Melissa found Teri in her bedroom with a pile of dry clothes on the floor for her to fold. The saiya-elf looked up when Melissa walked in. Her eyes softened and she looked away, biting her lip. Did she really feel that bad about it? Her heart clenched at the idea of her feeling THAT horrible... Melissa shook her head and went up to the bed.
"Alright." She started, sitting at the foot of the bed. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for blaming you, yelling at you, and making you feel like shit."
Melissa waited a moment before looking behind her, it didn't even look like Teri noticed she said anything.
"He--"
"I know the only reason you came down here to say that is because Keeren told you too. I know you don't mean it." Teri said softly. Melissa blinked, confused.
"What makes you think the only reason I'm down here is because Keeren made me? I came down here because I really am sorry." Melissa replied, turning in her seat.
Teri smirked. "Sure. Whatever you say." She stood, taking a handful of shirts to her closet to hang. Melissa started to speak, but Teri turned and interrupted her.
"But if you really are being honest, I appreciate that you care. But it was my fault that the whole thing happened, if I hadn't over reacted when you hit me with the broom, we wouldn't be acting like this."
"No, I was the one who hit you with the broom in the first place." Melissa grinned. "I started it. And you can send me to purgatory if you want if you feel so bad about."
Teri snorted. "Nah, I'd rather send you to the closet, then you could make amends with the broom. He's rather heart broken that he was used in sibling war."
"Yeah, then you should tell the steaks you're sorry for staring at them like that."
"They're made fer eatin's, so I look at them as eatin's. All-righty?"
"Whatever." Melissa stood. "So, anyways, you alright with everything?"
Teri nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled. "Maybe the kid'll end up super strong from getting kicked around as a fetus."
"You try, I'll kill you." Melissa smirked.

A/N: I don't believe I've written this much in such a short amount of time. Two chapters written in one and a half weeks, and both updated at the same times. Whatever few fans we have must be happy and bouncing in they're chairs, or beds in my case. *pokes the laptop* Damn I love being able to write at another house! :D
I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.
