Chapter 12: Nasty Tempers

They had all been stuck within the hospital for nearly a full day. Xeexru was getting frustrated, when would that damned female human let her out.

When the doctor came in to check up on them, Xeexru was the first to demand that she should be free from her cursed bed. When the doctor refused, stating that she was still in rough shape, the saya-jin got pissed... to say the least.

"What do you mean I can't leave?" She yelled. "I've been stuck in this fucking bed for over twenty hours! When can I leave?" She demanded, her tone of voice never reduced itself.

"Now, now dear, there's no need for that kind of language." The doctor said calmly. "I want you to stay here for at least the next day or so, just so that I know that you're healing nicely."

"Ha! Fuck that!" She cried cynically. "I've got more important things to do right now." The doctor shook his head gently.

"I'm sorry, but it is my orders that you are to stay here until I say that you are clear to leave." This man obviously didn't know about the famous saya-jin immune system, or Xeexru's temper. He was quick to learn about the latter though, especially when she smashed his tray of instruments into the wall. His tools were embedded permanently in the wall, and the tray had fixed itself in the wall in the next room. She readily resisted his attempts to calm her down. The two demi saya-jins in the room, despite their own injuries, approached her as the others prepared to restrain her. She easily held back the human foolish enough to try and pin her down, and an instant later, she found herself thrown into the wall. Trunks was the first one on her, grabbing her shoulders and holding her down whereas Gohan attempted to hold her arm still while the doctor prepared a sedative. The physician was careful to avoid her metal forearm, and stuck the needle just above where it joined the flesh. He counted mentally in his head.

"That tranquilizer should have taken affect by now!" He exclaimed as Xeexru struggled just as strongly against Gohan and Trunks who persistently continued to hold her down.

Bulma, who had been standing back from the dangerous saya-jin, stepped forward and quickly grabbed the syringe. The doctor's eyes widened as she filled it to the maximum before jabbing it into the saya-jin's arm.

"What are you doing!?!?! You can't give her that much!" Bulma rolled her eyes and continued to inject the sedative into her bloodstream. "That will kill her!" He yelled.

"And that would be a bad thing...how?" The human mumbled under her breath. The doctor just stared at her as if she was insane. As soon as all the medicine had been injected, Bulma stood back and watched as her son and Gohan continued to hold the saya-jin against her bed.

Xeexru was furious and she showed it by fighting against her constrainers. She shook her head violently as the world around her began to spin. The voices she could hear from the frantic nurses became faded, and everything was being drowned out by an insistent buzzing. Feeling her muscles relaxing beneath the grasps of her fellow warriors, she let out a low growl. Her head lolled backwards and hit the pillow.

"Fucking doctors." She cursed as her world faded into blackness yet again. As soon as she was out, the doctor leaped up and checked her pulse

"Her heart is slowing down." He grumbled as he grabbed the bottle of sedative to check just how much Bulma had given her. With only few drops left in it he grimaced when he realized that the young girl had taken nearly twenty-five milliliters of the medicine, nearly seven times what he had originally given her. "Get her out of here!" He shouted to one of the nurses. "And call the anesthesiologist. See if he has something to counteract the sedative before she goes into cardiac arrest!" Frantically, one of the nurses ran out of the room, and the other one reached to grab Bulma.

"Hold it!" The human said. "Just check her pulse again doctor." He eyed her warily but did as she told. Sure enough, her pulse was there, slow but strong and steady. He monitored it for another minute, ensuring that the pulse was constant. He looked back at Bulma, wide eyed.

"How did you know?" He asked, incredulous.

"Let's just say that she comes from a resistant family." Bulma said slyly, winking to Gohan and Trunks. The doctor switched his skeptical gaze from Bulma to Gohan. The demi saya-jin shifted nervously, scratching the back of his head.

"Uh... yeah, we're kind of tough that way." He said sheepishly. The doctor looked at him with an uncertain glare. Looking back to Xeexru he exclaimed suddenly.

"Oh so you two are related! I should have known! The resemblance is quite obvious!"

"What?!? I don't look like her!" Gohan cried defensively. Trunks looked between the female saya-jin and Gohan a few times.

"I think you're okay. I don't see the resemblance at all." Trunks said reassuringly. Gohan visibly relaxed.

"Phew! That's the last thing I need, her as my long lost cousin!" That triggered a laugh out of everyone in the room. The doctor proceeded to clip a heart monitor on Xeexru's finger, giving Bulma a nasty glare as he did so.

"Now," he said, standing up. "Let's have a look at the two of you." He paused for a minute. "I hope you guys aren't as disagreeable with doctors as she was." The two demi saya-jins laughed before getting back into their own beds.

"I wouldn't worry about those two." Bulma said walking forward. "They know that if they put up a fight, they're not getting fed. Isn't that right boys?"

"Yes ma'am." They said in unison. The doctor just laughed.

The sedative had only left Xeexru incapacitated for little more than a few hours. When the doctor returned, he was surprised to find her up and fully awake. And definitely annoyed. The moment she saw him, Trunks and Gohan felt her energy spike and looked at each other nervously.

Surprisingly, the saya-jin didn't attack, she didn't yell, and she didn't look hostile in anyway. She just sat there calmly as the doctor checked her injured arm.

During her battle with Bojack, he had succeeded in dislocating her shoulder as well as breaking both her left forearm and upper arm. She knew that the human medical technology was primitive and as soon as she could get back to Sularon, he'd be able to fix her up in a matter of minutes.

She had also concluded that the best way to get out of the hospital was to be let out. For that, she would have to comply with the doctor's orders.

She hated doctors. The bastards, more often then not, had no idea what they were doing. And her views hadn't changed upon seeing the human doctor. The only ones she had ever really trusted had been the Tomakan doctors. They were the only ones who could effectively understand and treat her complex saya-jin physiology. But never the less, that wasn't getting her out of this damned bed any faster.

Much to their contentment, the doctor took back his previous order, and told them that they could all leave ahead of schedule. Only the three pairs of sensitive saya-jin ears could hear the doctor talking to one of his counterparts.

"I don't understand. First, it takes that young girl nearly a full bottle of sedative to knock her out, then she's awake two hours later. And now, three of them have healed in dramatically in less than a day. I don't understand what's going on!" Xeexru smirked upon hearing this.

"Oblivious human." She scoffed.

Less than three hours later, Bulma, Chichi, Trunks, Gohan and Xeexru walked out the doors of the hospital. Krillin had been asked to stay for further observation as he did not have the advantage of the saya-jin immune and repair system.

The moment Xeexru stepped out into the sun light; a claw-like finger rose and sliced through her cast. She chucked the cast in the garbage can as they walked out to the sky car. She flexed her arm carefully. It still ached, but the majority of the pain was gone. She looked over at the two who had just been released with her. Trunks had a cast wrapped around his arm, much like she had. Gohan, the worst of the three, hobbled out with a crutch in his good hand, a cast on the other, and an immobilized right ankle.

"If you'd like, you can come aboard Sularon. His medical deck is far more advanced than that hospital. Your injuries could be gone within the hour." Xeexru offered. Trunks readily agreed, mentioning something about his mother killing him if he returned with a cast. Gohan opened his mouth to accept the offer when his mother's screeching drowned him out.

"No! No way I'm letting some talking contraption poke at you. You're going to have to heal the old fashioned way Gohan." Chichi said firmly.

"But Mom!! I don't want to wear this thing around any more, it's annoying!" Gohan said, shaking his injured leg for effect.

"No Gohan! It might try and put one of those things on you." She clamored, pointing to Xeexru's metal arm. The female saya-jin just rolled her eyes.

Gohan's further attempts of trying to convince his mother were feeble against her stern voice.

"Very well." Xeexru said, taking to the air. "I'll meet you back at my ship." She said to Trunks. He just nodded and climbed into his mother's car.

It only took Xeexru a few minutes to get herself back the main complex of Capsule Corp. with the sky car not too far behind. She didn't bother to check up on Sularon right away, instead she went to the bedroom that Bulma had given her. Within a couple of minutes, she emerged wearing a spandex-like black t-shirt and a pair of black, baggy battle fatigues. They had all been forced to wear the same clothes out of the hospital as they had worn in their battle. Xeexru gladly threw the torn clothing in a garbage can before walking out onto the balcony that was attached to her room. From there she could see straight out to where Sularon sat on the grass.

She hopped down from her balcony to where she could see Trunks waiting. He too had gotten changed, now clad in a pair of loose jeans and a white Capsule Corp. t-shirt.

"You're going to have to remove your cast; Sularon won't be able to gain proper access to the injury with it on." She said as she walked for the loading platform that had been descended since she left him just the day before.

"Sularon!" She yelled. There was a hesitation, but the ship replied.

"What?" He grumbled.

"Feeling any better?" Xeexru asked as she stepped into the platform with Trunks in tow. Without the order, they were lifted up to the main entrance of the ship.

"My fucking cerebral computer feels as though it's been crushed by an Arycanan Hermatite." He growled. Xeexru just smirked.

"You deserve that after you let the kid get away."

"Yeah and fuck you too." He snarled.

"It's good to have you back up and running." Xeexru stepped into the ship, with Trunks close behind. "Can you prepare the medical deck? We need some repairs done."

"Aye capt'n. What did you do anyways?" Sularon asked curiously.

As she walked down the hall, Xeexru explained her battle with Bojack and his minions. But as Trunks noticed, she never mentioned anything about the incidents when he had seen her blue eyes. Stopping in the middle of the hall, she muttered something that the demi saya-jin barely heard.

"That reminds me." Before he could react, she swung around and smashed Trunks in the jaw with her metal fist. He flew back several feet and landed hard on the ground. He stared up at her, mystified and shocked. She just glared back.

"Do what you want with him, Sularon." She growled, continuing her walk down the hall. Only a few seconds later, the air in front of Trunks thickened, and suddenly the same black creature that had attacked him days before stood poised and ready to strike. He scrambled back as the giant monster took a menacing step towards him. Much to his surprise, the creature stopped and craned his neck behind him.

"Good, she's gone." Sularon muttered, standing up to his full height of thirteen feet. The mist returned and a few seconds later, a young man, just a few inches taller than Trunks, stood before him. Bending down, Sularon offered a hand to the demi saya-jin that still sat on the floor. Trunks took his hand hesitantly, and the hologram pulled him to his feet.

"Really sorry about that. I had to put on a good show to convince Xeex. You know how it is." Trunks stared at him as Sularon proceeded to brush him off. The hologram looked down at him with a goofy grin on his face. "No hard feelings about last time is there?" Trunks frowned, remembering the nasty welcome he had received from the large Tomakan ship only a few days before.

"No." He said finally. "No hard feelings." He reached up and wiped the blood away from his mouth. Xeexru had hit him harder than he had thought.

"What did you do?" Sularon asked, thrusting his hands into his pockets.

"What do you mean?" Trunks asked, looking at him oddly.

"Xeex doesn't just go around punching people for no good reason. You must have pissed her off, so what did you do?" The demi saya-jin thought for a moment, then shrugged.

"I don't know."

"Well you must have done something. Did you interrupt her in battle? She hates that. Or how about call her a name or something? She really hates that." The hologram continued to number different scenarios off on his fingers.

"Well... I did call her stubborn, but I didn't mean anything by it." Trunks said innocently.

"You WHAT?!?" Sularon yelled, jumping back. "You're lucky you're not dead! Never call her stubborn! She takes great offense to that."

"No kidding." He grumbled, wiping more blood away. "I don't see why she's mad at me though. She's the one that attacked me."

"What?" Sularon asked incredulously. "What do you mean she attacked you?"

"Uh... well she did this weird trick where her eyes turned blue. She must have gotten confused during the battle cause the next thing I knew it felt like someone was slicing my head open." Trunks explained with a grimace. The holograms expression turned deadly serious.

Meanwhile...

"What the hell were you thinking, attacking him like that?!" Sularon bellowed as his full Tomakan form appeared before Xeexru.

"What?" She asked, surprised at the holograms sudden appearance.

"Trunks. He said you attacked him during the battle. He also mentioned something about you having blue eyes." He hissed.

"It was an accident." She growled, brushing past him.

A large black hand whipped around and caught her as she walked by. With a loud thud, he smashed her into the bulkhead and pinned her there.

"Get off me." She snarled.

"Not until you tell me what happened. What really happened." He flashed his sharp teeth in an obvious threat.

Xeexru glared up at him and emitted a low growl. Sularon just pressed her harder against the wall. Reluctantly, she gave in.

"Bojack's little comrades," She hissed. "had telekinetic abilities. I couldn't help it. It was my only way of fighting back. As for Trunks, that was a mistake. I didn't mean to do it." Sularon eyed her carefully, but released his grip on her.

"You should tell him the truth." He said.

"What?! No! I'm not telling him anything." She was startled at his response and glared up at him.

"If you won't tell him, then I will. He deserves to know what happened." Her eyes widened suddenly.

"You will tell him no such thing!" She growled.

"He's going to find out. It's inevitable." The Tomakan insisted. "If you plan on staying here from now on, they're all going to find out, whether you like it or not."

"I'll handle that when it happens." She said firmly, walking past him.

"You'll regret it." He yelled after her. She tossed a small ki blast back at him, causing the hologram to dissipate into the air.

Sularon's human form frowned, then looked down at the demi saya-jin.

"She didn't mean to do it. I just asked her."

Trunks looked up at him puzzled.

"What did she do exactly? I've never seen any other saya-jin do that." Sularon visibly began to sweat and swallowed hard.

"The Tomakas were able to discover the full extent of Xeexru's saya-jin abilities. That includes her psychic powers. Every saya-jin has their own individual level of psychic power, in Xeexru's case, it's quite strong."

"Huh. Strange." The hologram's shoulders slumped when Trunks bought is story. Quickly trying to find a way to change the subject, Sularon spotted the saya-jin's cast.

"Let's get you to the medical deck. I'm sure you don't want to be here all day. And I'll have a look at that for you too." He said, examining Trunks' bleeding lip closely. Without another word, Sularon turned and began walking down the hallway.

Only a few minutes later, they arrived at the door to the medical deck. With a loud hiss, it slid open. Trunks instantly remembered the room. It was the same one he had been treated in before.

At the far side of the room, Xeexru sat with her injured arm under a small lamp. As he watched, light blue beams of energy descended from the head of the lamp onto her arm. She ignored them as they walked into the room.

"Sit down there." Sularon instructed, pointing to medical bed at the side of the room. Trunks did as he was told. The hologram then proceeded to walk around the large room, picking up a few things as he went. He placed the objects down next to his patient. Picking up what looked like a small round jellyfish and handed it to Trunks. The demi saya-jin stared at it, confused. "Just put it on your jaw where she hit you." He hesitated for a moment, but did it.

The jellyfish was cold. Very cold, but Trunks held it there none the less. Much to his surprise, the jellyfish began to shrink under his hand. A moment later he realized that it was getting absorbed into his skin. Within seconds, it was gone.

"Does that feel any better?" Sularon asked, examining his jaw closely. Carefully, Trunks felt the tender area.

"Yeah. That feels a lot better." He said, rubbing his jaw.

"Good, now let's see what I can do about that cut." The hologram shot a glare over his shoulder at the saya-jin across the room. She caught his eye and sneered back. Picking up a small tool that greatly resembled a pen, Sularon turned it on. A thin red beam shot out and connected with the wound on Trunks' lip. Seconds later, the cut had fully healed.

"Wow! That was fast." He commented.

"I am a war ship. If there are casualties, they have to be healed quickly." Sularon said in a matter-of-fact tone. Turning around, he walked past Xeexru, giving her another sharp glare.

"What?!" She demanded, slamming her fist against the counter as she stood up to confront the hologram. "What the fuck is your problem."

"My problem is you." He growled, coming face to face with the saya-jin.

"What the fuck did I do?" She snarled.

"You're just being such a bitch today."

"Well it's because you're pissing me off!" She spat back.

"Fucking saya-jin." He growled. With a furious swing, Sularon was thrown back and into a wall. Trunks stared at them, a little too shocked to respond. The hologram emitted a low growl while the mist reappeared around his body. A moment later, Sularon's growl became much louder, and far more menacing.

When the mist had disappeared, the huge Tomaka had returned. Just as Xeexru charged towards Sularon, Trunks placed himself between the two.

"Get out of the way Kuunta'ra." She barked.

"No. I think you two need to cool down." He looked over to where the Tomaka glared back at him. Xeexru tried to push him away, but he protested by holding her back. Sularon made no attempt to advance on the saya-jin.

Xeexru dropped her volatile behavior, but continued to glare at Trunks. The demi saya-jin relaxed and looked back over to the hologram.

"You too." He said. Sularon grunted something incomprehensible and returned to his human form.

"Bitch." He muttered as he brushed past Xeexru.

"Asshole." She muttered back.

Trunks watched critically as the saya-jin walked out of the medical deck, then sat himself back up on the bed where he had been before.

"It seems as though you two share an interesting relationship." He said as Sularon walked back towards him.

"Indeed, it would seem that way." He murmured as he proceeded to cut the cast off of Trunks' arm. "You know, she used to be a lot different. She used to be kind and gentle, but now she's just angry all the time."

"Well, it sounds as though she's been through a lot. I can't blame her behaving the way she does, especially after she's lost her planet." Trunks reasoned.

"Yes, but you're from a similar situation and you're not nearly as bitter." Sularon countered.

"True, but I was able to save my planet and I still have friends and family. Xeexru doesn't have anyone except for you." The hologram shook his head as he reached for a long, flat piece of metal. Placing the strip of metal against Trunks', he flicked a switch on a nearby console. The metal liquefied and flowed around his arm.

"It still doesn't make any sense. You would probably understand better if she let me tell you what happened after Freeza destroyed her planet." He sighed and watched the liquid metal flow around his patient's arm. Flicking the switch again, the metal reformed back into the skinny strip. "There, that should feel better."

"Yeah! That's great!" Trunks exclaimed, flexing his arm. "Thanks a lot!"

"Not a problem." Sularon responded with a smile. "Let's get you out of here. I'm sure you want to head back to your own time line."

"Yeah, but I'm not leaving until the morning, so there's no big rush." He said, pushing himself off the bed. The two of them turned and exited the room together.

"You know, it's weird." Trunks said. "Xeexru had refused to use her telepathic powers up until the point when Bojack threatened me, then she didn't hesitate. I mean, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would normally give into those kinds of demands."

"Xeex is as stubborn as all hell, but she won't let people die because of her. Your case was no different. She would have gladly given up her own life if it meant that you or anyone else were going to live. Sure she might act as if she doesn't care, but she does, she just won't admit it." Sularon said, as he escorted Trunks to the exit.

Once they reached the door, the hologram turned to Trunks.

"Well, this is as far as I can go, so I will wish you well. I will also give Xeex a firm lecture on how to behave around our guests." Trunks smiled at that. "I'm sure this won't be the last that we will meet, so until then..." He said, offering his hand. Gladly, the demi saya-jin shook his hand.

"I'll see you again." Trunks said as he leaped out of the ship. "And tell Xeexru I said goodbye!" He yelled from the ground. Sularon waved to him, but stuck his hand out too far. He let out a startled cry when his hand disappeared. With a laugh, he pulled his arm back within the ship a waved, hand and all that time.

Is it just me, or did I make Sularon come off as a bit gay in this (I don't mean to offend anyone by this). I personally apologize for the crappy chapter that I posted before this, just now I realized how much of a shitty chapter that was. By the way, I'm upping my rating from PG-13 to R, as some of the events that will take place in later chapters will require that rating (no, sorry guys and gals, no lemons, so you may now retrieve your brains from the gutters that you tossed them into). It's just that there will be some intense swearing and blood, among others things along that line. My rating will increase for the next chapter, so you have now been warned. Please read and review, it's frustrating when you don't know how your chapters are. So I hope that this chapter was much better than a few of my previous ones, I certainly thought it was. So until later dates, nonamewriter.
