Hey people I'm glad you like my story! Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up. I didn't really know what to write. But here it is chapter 3!
Disclaimer: I still do not own dragonball/z/gt…sigh
Chapter 3: Jari vs. two
"Jari! Hey Jari! Come play with us!" Len Sta ran up to her brother. Looking at his face she saw his tears. "Stop crying Jari. Look I'm all better now." Smiling she began jumping in the air and doing flips. Jari smiled and stood up from the floor. He knew she was fine but he just wanted to make sure.
"Ok then, if you're really all better then we'll have a Zorn battle." He wiped away his tears.
a/n: Zorn is German for wrath.
"Really! Yay! OK!" she yelled still jumping around. "Who do I get on my team?"
"Uh—" Jari said looking around at everyone else. As he did other people started to arrive.
Gohan, Videl, Krillen, Marron, 18, Tien and Yamcha all landed at the lookout. They all walked towards Goku and the others.
"Dad," said Gohan "what happened? We all felt this huge pow--"
"How about that guy" Jari interrupted pointing at Gohan. "He seems strong enough."
Len Sta stopped flipping around and looked at Gohan. "OK!" she laughed running up to him. She barley reached his knees. Tugging at his pant leg she spoke to him. "How 'bout it mister? Do you want to be on my team?"
"Uh…Dad? Who is this little girl?" Gohan asked
"Her name is Len Sta and that's her brother Jari." He said pointing at him. "It's a long story" he said to the look on Gohan's face. "I'll explain it to all of you when I get back. Right now Vegeta and I have to go and Talk to Bulma" he grabbed Vegeta by the arm and teleported away.
"Well Mister?" Len Sta said still tugging his leg. "Do you wanna be on my team?" she asked again.
"Uh…your team for what?" Gohan Asked.
"For the Zorn battle with Jari." She answered as if he was supposed to know.
"What's a Zorn battle?"
"It's sort of like sparring," Jari explained. "except one person won't really fight back a lot. One or two partners try to tap into their 'wrath power' and knock down the opponent."
"So Gohan would have to fight you?" Videl asked.
"Yes he and my sister would both fight me." Jari answered her nodding.
"Well that wont be fair at all, especially if Gohan has to tap into his 'wrath' powers." Said Videl.
"Oh common Videl, I wont—" he stopped when he saw a look on Videl's face. A look that said: "If you don't listen to me, you'll be sleeping on the couch and wont touch me for a month."
Gohan looked down at Len Sta. "Sorry, guess not, but how about Krillen?" he suggested pointing at Krillen.
"Me! Uh…well I—"
"No" 18 answered for him.
"But sweet--" he stopped when he got the same look Videl gave Gohan from his own wife. "Er…sorry" he said rubbing his head.
"Oy! You two," Yamcha said slapping his head. "get a back bone sheesh!" he approached Len Sta. Kneeling down to her level, smiling he said: "Hey cutie pie, what's your name?"
Returning his smile with an adorable one of her own she said: "I'm Len Sta. What's your name?"
"I'm Yamcha. If you want, I'll be on your team."
"OK!" she screamed happily grabbing his hand and running towards her brother. "Jari, Yancha is gonna be on my team"
"It's Yamcha" Yamcha corrected her.
"YAMcha!" she corrected herself. Yamcha laughed at the way she did.
"Yeah, Yeah whatever." Jari said crossing his arms. "Now, if you really are "all better" all you gotta do is touch my face."
"That's it? All we have to do is touch your face?" Yamcha questioned.
"That's not fair Jari!" Len Sta protested.
"Yeah it really isn't" Yamcha agreed.
"Arghhh! Fine then, I'll only use my right arm."
"Yay! Now its fair."
"No it's not--" Yamcha began but was pulled away by Len Sta. They moved a good distance away from everyone else so that they wouldn't hurt anyone and Jari placed his left hand in his pocket.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Everyone except Piccolo and Goten sat down to watch.
"Hey Videl?" Goten said.
"Yeah"
"Wasn't it you who told me not to judge a book by its cover?"
"Yeah, that was me."
"Then why were you so quick to underestimate the boy?" Piccolo jumped in to their conversation.
"Huh?" she tried to understand what he was getting at.
"Wait a minute Piccolo," Gohan said "that huge power level we all felt earlier, did it come fro—" he was cut off by Trunks.
"Yamcha is sooo gonna get his ass kicked" he said laughing.……………………………………………………………………………………………
"OK you two!" Jari said. "Ready?"
"Ready" Len Sta answered getting into a fighting pose.
"Uh…ready" Said Yamcha.
"Then come at me with all you got!" Jari Yelled.
Len Sta flew towards her brother throwing punches and kicks at him. He blocked them all easily with his right arm. As he did, he also encouraged her.
"Common Len, Show me that you're ok. I know you can do better."
She stopped attacking and turned to Yamcha who still hadn't move and was staring at them in awe.
"Yamcha! Why aren't you helping me?"
He quickly snapped out of it when he heard her yelling at him.
"Wow! Looks like I underestimated you two. Well, now I won't hold back!" Yamcha began to power up.
"Never turn your back to an opponent." Jari whispered. Without warning, Jari grabbed his sister with his right arm and sent her flying towards Yamcha.
"Len Sta!" Yamcha yelled flying towards her. He caught her but the force of the impact was so strong that it sent Yamcha flying towards the edge of the lookout. Still clutching Len Sta, he didn't want to fall off the edge so he tried his best to stop himself. He began to slow down and quickly regained himself. Flying higher, he spoke to Len Sta.
"Are you….ok?" he asked between breaths. His chest was sore from the impact.
"Uh-huh" she said jumping out of his arms. She levitated next to Yamcha.
"NO FAIR JARI! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T FIGHT BACK!" she yelled at her brother.
"NO I DIDN'T! I SAID I WOULDN'T FIGHT BACK A LOT!" Jari yelled back at her.
"Oh yeah." She said to Yamcha rubbing the back of her head. "I forgot." She laughed. "OK, are you ready to help me this time?" she asked him.
"Yeah" he answered rubbing his chest. "Let's get him!"
"Yay!"
They both flew quickly towards Jari who was waiting for them patiently. Len Sta got to him first and began attacking him. Then Yamcha go there and also started attacking. Jari blocked what he could with his arm. What he couldn't he blocked with his legs. He then began to encourage his sister again.
"I know you can do better Len! You don't even have to hit my face. All you got to do is touch it! Show me show me that you're at least a little better! "
"I AM ALL BETTER!" she threw a punch at Jari with a lot of power. It was about half an inch away from her face when he ducked away form it. Then the punch went towards Yamcha. She tried to pull back and Yamcha tried to block but Jari kicked his sister's back, sent her flying into Yamcha and sent them both crashing into the floor of the lookout.
"Wow Len Sta!" Jari yelled down at them. "You almost got me that time, guess you are at least a little better" he mocked.
"No!" She yelled up at him. "I'm ALL better" she jumped off of Yamcha and helped him up. His mouth was bleeding and his chest was real sore. Rubbing it he said:
"Len Sta…..I have an….idea"
She looked at him curiously.
"Ok" she smiled.
"Do you….think you….and get …behind him?" he whispered between breaths.
"Why" she whispered back.
"Because…if you can…hold his…legs and arms…long enough….then maybe I …can touch his…. face."
Len Sta face beamed at his idea.
"Yeah I can do that!" she screamed hugging him. He covered her mouth.
"Shhh! You don't want …him to hear us…..do you?"
"Ok" she whispered laughing "Sorry."
"Hey! What are you two whispering about!" Jari asked them.
"Nothing!" Len Sta answered giggling.
Yamcha gave her a wink and stood up wiping the blood away from his mouth and smiled. Then they both stared up at Jari.
"What are those two up to?" Jari asked himself.
"OK GO!" Yamcha yelled flying towards Jari.
"YEAH!"
Len Sta flew as quickly as she could towards her brother. Jari braced himself for more head on attacks but what happened took him by surprise. Len Sta pretended to throw a punch at his face, but when he went to block, she disappeared. Then he felt something holding his arms and legs. He then realized what happened. She tricked him and was now restraining him with all her might.
"Hey! What do you thing you—"
"Tap!" Yamcah's finger was resting on Jari's forehead. "We got ya!" Jari's mouth hung open.
"Yay! We did it!" she let go of Jari. "We did it! We did it! We did it!" She threw herself into Yamcha's stomach and gave him another hug. This one was bigger than before. He was in a lot of pain but he didn't want to reject the small token of gratitude so he winched at the pain and slowly began to resend to the floor.
"Dende!" He yelled trying not to fall over. "I kinda need your help!"
Dende quickly ran over to Yamcha and began to heal him.
"Wow Yamcha," he said "I don't even think the boy hit you at all. All your wounds are from the impacts of the hits Jari threw upon his sister."
"I know." Yamcha said placing his hand on Len Sta who was still hugging him. At his touch she looked up at him and gave him another one of her adorable smiles.
"You're so smart Yamcha!" she laughed.
"Thanks kid" he said picking her up and returning her hug with one of her own. "And you're so strong."
"Pssh! The only reason you got me was because you caught me off guard." Jari protested descending down to them.
Yamcha smile and patted him on the shoulder.
"Dropping your guard even for a second could result in death." He told him. (I should know)
"Hmpf! Whatever!" Jari began to walk back towards the other with Dende.
Yamcha was about to put Len Sta down when he felt her rest her head on her shoulders. He looked at her and saw her place her thumb in her mouth. "She must be tired" He thought. "I guess I should let her rest, she did do more work than me anyway" He fallowed Dende and Jari.
"Hey Len Sta?" Yamcha said. "How old are you?"
"I'm four." She held up four fingers with her free hand and let out a yawn.
"And you Jari?"
"Huh?" Jari said turning around.
"Your name is Jari right?"
"Uh-huh." Jari answered nodding.
"How old are you?"
"Oh, I'm nine" They now reached the others.
"Wow!" said Gohan "That was some battle! Are you ok Yamcha?"
"I'm fine! Gosh! It's not like they were gonna kill me or anything." He protested in defense.
"You were just luck that Dende was here." Krillen mocked.
"Shut up you nose-less little—"
"Is Len Sta gonna be ok?" Goten asked running up to Yamcha. He levitated up to see her.
"Huh? Oh…" Yamcha looked from Goten to Len Sta. She was sleeping. "Oh…I guess she's just asleep. How did she fall asleep so fast?"
"Ooops!" Jari said levitating next to Goten. "ha ha I forgot! She usually falls asleep after a battle. I don't really know why though. But she'll be out for an hour or so."
"Oh" said Goten and Yamcha together.
"Yeah, oh and Yamcha, she's not gonna let go." Jari said pointing at his sister's free hand. It was clutched to his shirt.
"Wha… she's not gonna let go?" he questioned trying to loosen the death grip her small hand has on his shirt. But it didn't work. He didn't want to break her hand or his shirt so he stopped trying. "awww!" he sighed. "I guess I'll have to wait until she wakes up then." He walked away form the others to a near by chair and sat down.
"Aww! I wanted to keep playing with her." Goten protested descending down to the floor.
"I'll play with you!" Marron said running up to him.
"No one wants to play with you!" Trunks said joining them. "You have no nose and you can't even fly."
"Shut up Trunks!" Marron yelled. Her voice was cracking.
"No!" he yelled. "Besides you're only 3 and your always end up crying."
"I do no—wahh ahh ahh" she ran into her fathers arms crying.
"Trunks! You didn't have to be so mean to her!" Goten yelled.
"Yeah that was pretty mean." Agreed Jari. "But does she always cry like that?" he whispered.
They both nodded. Trunks nodded faster though.
"Trunks! What did you do to her?" Krillen demanded holding his crying daughter. He obviously wasn't paying attention to their little conversation.
"Nothing!" Trunks yelled back. "Common let's go play Goten." He looked at Jari. "You wanna play too?"
"Sure!" Jari said smiling.
"OK then let's play tag." Suggested Trunks.
"What's 'tag'?" Jari asked.
"You don't know what tag is?" Goten asked.
Jari shook his head. "No."
"Well all you gotta do is chase after the other players and try to tag them." Trunks explained.
"Like this! TAG! You're it!" Goten tagged Jari and flew away. "Now all you have to do is tag me or Trunks!" Goten yelled back at him.
"Oh, I get it now! Ok TAG! You're it!" Jari tagged Trunks and flew away with Goten.
Trunks laughed and flew after them.

"Daddy" Marron Cried into her fathers shirt. "I wanna go home!"
"Ok Marron," he said wiping her tears. "Daddy'll take you home."
"No" said 18. "I'll take her home. You stay here and wait for Goku." She said picking up her daughter. "I'm gonna teach you to fly." She told her.
"You will mommy!" Marron Asked happily.
"I sure am." She answered nodding. 18 flew away and leaving the lookout. Then she stopped and turned to Krillen. "Come home as soon as Goku explains everything to you!" she demanded.
"I will!" Krillen answered waving at them.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Tien walked over to were Yamcha was. Everyone else saw him and fallowed.
"Aww!" Videl said. "That's adorable! She looks so small in your arms Yamcha! And look at the way she sucks her thumb!"
Yamcha blushed a little.
"Can I hold her?" She asked.
"No." he answered. "Uh well, I mean, she wont let go of my shirt remember?"
"Try loosing her grip again." Suggested Tien.
He tried again but her grip hadn't even loosened a little. "Nope she's not letting go anytime soon."
"Ha! Looks like the little twerp is in love with you." Krillen mocked bitterly.
"Don't call her a twerp you dumbass!" Yamcha yelled angrily at Krillen. "It's not her fault that all the boys would rather play with her than your daughter."
"Hey take that back! Everyone loves Marron! And she's a lot cutter than her!" he yelled pointing at Len Sta.
"Shut up idiot! Len is way cuter! Not to mention she's a hell of a lot stronger! And she has a nose! (an adorable one at that.)" he thought the last part.
Everyone (except Krillen) stared questioningly at Yamcha. Why was he defending this child he had only just known for about 30 minutes like she was his own?
"Yeah right! Marron can take her! She's a lot stronger than she looks!" Krillen continued to argue.
"Oh! You talking about your daughter or your ex-girlfriend!"
"That's it you idiot!" Krillen yelled offended. Yamcha really went too far with his last comment. Without realizing what he was doing, Krillen flew towards Yamcha and threw a punch at him.
Not seeing it coming, Yamcha received it and was knocked out of the chair. Len Sta hit her head on the floor and woke up.
"What the hell is the matter with you shit-head!" Yamcha yelled picking himself and Len Sta up.
"I- I- I'm sorry!" Krillen sputter just realizing what he had done.
"Bastard! What the hell are you trying to do? Kill her?" Yamcha yelled again as he felt the little girl in his arms tremble. She had both hands on her head, and tears became visible in her eyes. "It's ok Len," he reassured her. "Don't cry."
But she didn't listen.
"JARI!" she screamed crying.
Jari, Trunks, and Goten all stopped playing and flew quickly over to the others.
"What happened?" Jari asked upon landing.
"That idiot…" Yamcha started pointing at Krillen
"HE HIT ME DOWN!" Len Sta finished for him.
"He hit me down?" they all thought.
"What'd you do that for Krillen!" Goten yelled angrily. This really got everyone stirred. Goten was never one to yell at anyone like that.
"It was an accident!" Krillen protested waving his hands in defense.
"Accident my ass!" Yamcha yelled holding Len Sta closer trying to quiet her.
"Sir Piccolo," Jari calmly said staring hatefully at Krillen. "was it really and accident?"
"I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt her. I think he forgot that Yamcha was holding her. The punch was intentional though, but only towards Yamcha. Not her." Piccolo answered giving Krillen a bad look.
"I see." Jari said walking towards Krillen. Jari wasn't taller than him, he did reach his shoulders though. Jari looked him in the eye. "Unintentional or not, if you ever cause my little sister pain again, I will see to it that you live the rest of your life in unimaginable pain. Every day of your life will be pure torture. Consider this a warning." He said calmly though it was very intimating.
Jari turned his back to Krillen, who had almost wet his pants, and waked back to Yamcha holding his crying sister. He levitated up to her. "Where does it hurt?" he asked her.
"Here." She said rubbing her head.
"Let me see," grabbing her head, he examined it. Noticing noting wrong he smiled. He then pointed to a random spot on her head. "Here?" he asked
"Uh-huh." She said between sobs. Jari laughed and kissed the spot.
"There, all better now?" he asked like a parent.
"Yeah." She answered yawning.
"Hmmm, I guess there are some things that even I can't cure." Dende mentioned smiling.
Len Sta yawned again and placed her thumb in her mouth.
"No- NO- don't grab my—!" but she did. She grabbed Yamcha's shirt and was out like a candle. Yamcha sighed.
"You could of at least told me you were going back to sleep." He whispered to the sleeping child in his arms.
