Chapter 12

Gohan woke up the next morning, not really comprehending that he was dreaming about something very important. He got up and frantically ran to the medical wing to see if Usagi was awake. When he arrived there he found Vegeta in a chair slumped over and very asleep. Vegeta didn't stay that way long, once Gohan arrived he jumped up completely alert. He looked at what Gohan was wearing and snickered.

"So your mom still picks out your underwear does she?"

Gohan looked down quizzically. He was clothed in boxers, his normal sleeping attire. Which would have been bad enough, but he was also wearing ones that his mother had picked out, the rather childish, but very adorable image of chibi-batman and Spiderman.

The teenager yelped and ran back to his room, blushing at the thought of Usagi already being awake when he walked in. It was bad enough that Vegeta had seen them, but if Usagi had… well he would have been a very embarrassed teen.

Usagi woke up a few hours after breakfast. Vegeta had decided to eat breakfast there and hadn't really left. When he saw that she was awake, he pointed to her clothes, which had been laid out on a desk nearby. Vegeta left to let her change.

The blonde tentatively reached out for the clothes, trying not to jar her spine. Once she had them she stood up. Cringing at the pain shooting through her spine, she slowly put on the spaghetti strap dress Bulma had picked. Fortunately, Bulma had picked one with a very low back. It went to about Usagi's knees, with blue lace hemming around the lower edge and the upper top part.

Usagi walked out of the room, feeling like a wounded cat. She was slumping over a little to make the pain shooting down her spine more bearable. In the hall people surrounded her. Gohan, however just kind of stood in the back of the crowd, eyes wide, and thinking normal teenage boy thoughts about girls in pretty dresses.

Not that anyone realized this. Vegeta also hung back, until he decided that the barrage of questions was overwhelming his sister. At that point he jumped in front of her.

"Leave her alone for at least a moment!" he stood protectively in front of her, shooing the questioning group out of the hallway, and Usagi back into the medical room. Bulma was the only person to follow him in, wanting to make sure her injuries were wrapped properly.

"Lets see", Bulma checked the bandages on her wings. Deciding that they were too bloody and needed to be changed, Bulma said, "Sit down and turn around so that I can change those." Bulma removed the bandages from her wings. Usagi cringed and tears formed in her eyes as the bloodstained bandages were removed. Once Bulma had replaced them. Usagi curled into a ball tears flowing, while the previously white bandages were slowly stained crimson.

Bulma left the room with Vegeta, letting Usagi cry. When they were out of the room, Bulma told the crowd of Z-senshi that Usagi would be fine.

In the room, Usagi had stopped her crying. She began a spell; a glow of red-silver light surrounded her, and her broken wings. The light surrounded the wounds and seemingly indistinct letters began to appear on the surface. When Usagi finished the spell with an emphatic "Aeshiea", the light scattered, the bandages fell to the floor and her wings were spread out as far as the room would allow. They were fully healed.

Done yet. She heard Vegeta speak to her mind.

Yes, I am.

Good. Vegeta walked back into the room, Bulma following and hoping to get Usagi some food. She gasped at the sight of Usagi's wings fully healed, having seen their previous condition. She stood gawking. Usagi, noticing Bulma's shock, put them away.

"Sorry about that. Most people have that reaction to wings"

"Bu…But they were…"

"Yes, I know, that is why I don't have them out all the time." Bulma stopped her gawking and smiled. Vegeta had stood in the corner the whole time, his normally stoic expression grinning only mildly at the shock his mate was displaying.

The rest of the day went smoothly, the Z-senshi assuming that a senzu been was the reason for her speedy recovery. They left after they knew nothing else of interest was going to occur.

During dinner, Usagi threw a spell under the table at Vegeta. Vegeta hadn't noticed till after it was too late to block it. He jumped up from the table and threw one at her. They both ended up with lightning for hair, until Bulma said that that was enough of that at the dinner table. Hair back to their normal colors, they both sat down. Usagi was in a fit of giggles, while Vegeta just looked completely neutral.

The next morning started with a bang. Well, an explosion to be more exact. The Briefs and the Sons, including Usagi, ran out of the rooms they had slept in to find that an entire block a few streets down had gone up in smoke. One out of the house, they saw Diamond grinning about 20 feet above the ground.

" I thought that might get your attention." He smiled "So just hand me Serenity, unless you want to loose another block of the city."

Vegeta frowned and started an attack form behind by swiping at Diamond's head. Diamond dodged it, and suddenly began an assault. And as the two of them fought, they began to fly higher and higher. When Vegeta missed a low kick aimed at Diamonds torso, Diamond called forth a weapon of pure dark crystal and rammed it right through Vegeta's ribcage.

Bulma started crying as soon as she realized what had happened. While Vegeta fell, Diamond appeared right behind Usagi. She noticed him and dodged, though it was a close call. She backed away from him and into a fighting stance saying, "You jerk, that was a cheap shot!"

A very breathy and strained "Bastard", was heard behind Usagi.

"Well that will just make this easier on me, I even get a minion in the process" He grinned, "Now come here Serenity" He began to advance on her.
