To You…Chapter 11

-- …I have a lotta homework…but I can't stay away from my Internet…I'll go do it after I'm done with this…but I gotta go on with this…for you people. So here I go…the encounter of Tien and Vegeta!---

Chapter Eleven:

" Why are you here?" Bra demanded again.

"…I'm…" Goten needed to come up with something. She gave him an icy stare, but she also seemed afraid. Did she already suspect? " I was just leaving…I told Vegeta something that my dad said…nothing important. I gotta go…goodbye, Bulma. Bra."

" Yes. Leave." Bra watched him leave and she breathed deeply. Her heart would not stop beating so fast. Did Goten find out about her fling with Tien? Then, the only way he could know would be the fact that Marron said anything…and she couldn't have…

Bra ran upstairs and slammed her door as soon as she went in the room. She picked up her phone and dialed Marron's number.

" Hello?" Marron's happy voice answered.

" Marron--assure me that you didn't tell," Bra said.

" Bra?" Her voice was now unsure.

" Marron, answer me," she pleaded. " Say that you did not tell Goten."

"…I did…"

"…dammit, Marron!" Bra yelled, despite of the tears she heard from her friend. " I begged you not to tell anyone!"

" I know, but Goten wanted to know, and I was scared, and it's just not right!" she yelled over sobs. " I don't care if you're mad at me or not! What you're doing is wrong!"

"…" Bra hung up the phone without saying goodbye and cried in her pillow. Now her Daddy knew, and he was going to beat up Tien. Possibly kill him. Everything was ruined.

" You think you can get away with this!" Vegeta kicked down Tien's door. " Show yourself!"

" Tien!" Chiotzu was finally out of bed, in the living room. He was frightened by the unexpected outburst that had just happened.

" Chiotzu? Are you okay--" Tien was soon in the living room, faced with an angry Vegeta. Vegeta glared at Tien and proceeded to come closer.

" You have messed with my daughter long enough, you sick bastard." He was ready to fight Tien. No one messed with his daughter…especially grown men. He barely wanted Goten to go with her. This was outrageous.

" Vegeta…what are you doing in my house…" Tien asked slowly, but knew why. His own heart was in his throat. He knew about them.

" You!" Vegeta came for him, and the fight began. Vegeta beat Tien senseless, taking all of his rage out on Tien. Tien wasn't helpless, but it was clear that he wasn't going to win this one. Vegeta overpowered him, because he was only trying to protect Bra.

But Tien wanted to fight for Bra, because he loved her. So he stayed in the fight, getting in blows to Vegeta's sides. This made Vegeta angrier.

" Tien!" Chiotzu cried out.

" Get out!" Tien ordered. He had to fight this one for himself.

"…is something wrong, Bra?" Bulma walked into her daughter's room upon hearing her sobs.

" Mommy…" was all she could muster. Bulma soothed her little girl and told her that everything will be okay, even if she didn't know the problem.

" Tell me, dear--what's wrong?"

"…" She didn't want to tell. She only imagined Tien being beat horribly. She had to go to him. " We have to go to Tien's house."

" What?" Bulma asked. " Did I hear you right? Tien's house?"

" Yes, Mommy," Bra nodded.

" Why on Earth do you want to go over there?"

" I'll explain it later…but we have to go now. Daddy will hurt him…"

"…" Bulma was ultimately confused. "…um…"

" Please, Mommy?" Bra's eyes were so watery.

"…let's go. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough…" Bulma pulled out her car keys. " I'll find his house from my navigation system…I should be able to locate his energy with this device and find him easily."

" Hmm…for some reason…it's picking up Vegeta's energy, as well…can you please explain to me what's going on?" Bulma said.

"…not right now…you'll know later…" Bra's voice was a whimper.

"…" Bulma sighed and continued to go towards the power levels. They soon was at the familiar, single house. Bra jumped out of the vehicle, not waiting for her mother.

She heard the commotion as she ran closer. The painful bashes. " No! Daddy, no!"

" Bra!" Vegeta's rage was uncontrollable. " Get out of here! I'll deal with you later!"

" Daddy!" she wailed, running towards Tien.

" Bra!" Vegeta grabbed her arm. " You are to stay away from him!"

" No, Daddy! I love him!" She released herself from his grasp and hugged Tien, who was battered badly but still in the brawl. " Tien, are you okay?"

" What the--" Bulma was still confused.

" Bra…don't." Tien stared in her eyes. " It's not worth it."

" It is! Daddy, I love Tien…whether you like it or not!" She held on to him tightly, not moving. " If you have a problem with it, you'll kill me, too."

"…Bra…move…aside…now," Vegeta ordered. " It's for your own good. This isn't right for you. And you have disobeyed me, and I will talk about that later but the real problem must be eliminated…"

"…Daddy…" she cried.

"…Bra…it's okay." Tien wiped a tear from her eye, then pushed her aside. " I'm going to fight this…if it's to the end. I've been waiting for this for years…"

"…" Bra recalled the memory of Tien telling her that he and her father was not on good terms. This fight…was to settle things once and for all. " Tien, no!" She had a feeling that this fight wasn't in his favor.

"…" Tien ignored her, and Vegeta gave him a final blow.

--- Eeps! This was action-packed…and kinda sad…aw…sowwee…tell me what you think, please!---
