Ryusika was alone in her personal bathroom that's in her room and was still awake to the most part. She had just got done taking care of some business and unleashing some of the entrails into the toilet. Her eyes were dreary and displayed signs of lack of sleep. She got up to brush her teeth in hopes of getting rid of the taste of vomit in her mouth.
"Come on, Ryusika Yuki you can do this! All you need to do is survive the 9 months of this right?" Ryusika encouraged herself. After taking a warm shower she walked out of her personal bathroom and towards her wardrobe that had an incredible amount of woman's clothing in it. She decided she would put on a lime green vest over a white shirt and wear some jeans to go with her blue slip on shoes. After she got done making her wavy long hair she made her way down the spiral staircase and out the door, making her way towards Ace's place through her personal jet, in order to come up with a way to tell her parents. She had noted that both her mother and father were away on a trip as of right now and that in all honesty they wouldn't disown her even if she got pregnant. The bad part is that if they find out that not only she is pregnant but also the baby daddy is not taking responsibility especially the fact that it was all an accident, her parents sense of blame would narrow to that target and would go out of their way to get revenge for deflowering their precious daughter without compensation.
Around The Same Time
Kuzuku was still asleep until he felt something shift in his bed. He didn't know what it was as he assumed it to be a book that he had read before going to sleep. He decided to kick it right off the bed and lazily pulled the covers over himself some more.
"Ow!" a voice let out. 21 had was now on the floor and rubbing her head as she was unprepared as to what had happened. She got up and glared at the Saiyan who had just kicked her out of bed.
"Kuzuku..." she said the first time but got no reply. She decided to be a more vocal with her approach.
"Kuzuku." She repeated and still didn't get a response from her beloved Saiyan. That was when her impatient side kicked in.
"KUZUKU!" She yelled, causing the Saiyan to jump right out of bed and land on the floor in some martial arts stance.
"What, Huh, who, where, what?" Kuzuku sputtered a random array of words from initial shock. 21 cleared her throat, gaining his undivided attention.
"Oh morning 21, how did you get here?" Kuzuku asked.
"I don't know, you're the one who brought me into your room in the first place." 21 answered with venom. Kuzuku thought for a moment as memories of yesterday flooded it's way back into his mind.
"Yeah, now I remember but why do I hear a hint of malice in your tone?" Kuzuku questioned innocently. 21's eye twitched at his second question and proceeded to hit him in the back of his head with her tail.
"Ow! What was that for!" Kuzuku complained. 21 was beginning to walk out of the room before saying.
"Maybe you should watch where you are kicking then next time I won't hit you." with that she exited the room, leaving the Saiyan confused at to what just happened. He got up quickly to freshen up by putting on gray sweatpants with a hoodie to match and made his way out into the kitchen where 21 had been cooking some food.
"So you are not going to tell me what I did?" Kuzuku asked which earned him a grunt from the majin. Kuzuku sighed and decided to bust out the big guns.
"Alright then I guess you can keep it to yourself. But I did have this delicious chocolate mousse cake in the fridge all for you but I guess I can eat it if you want." Kuzuku teased. 21's body had a hint of shivers all over before turning around slowly. She tried to speak but couldn't seem to get the words out due to her embarrassment.
"Funny, this more childish side of her personality must stem from majin side. I guess when personalities merge they seem to take on both of their traits. Took me a while to notice…." Kuzuku thought.
"Don't worry 21, I am totally joking about me eating it, it's all yours anyways since I bought it for you. It was from some special bakery that I found during one of my flights." Kuzuku laughed, placing the plate of the table for her and walked over to her. He pulled her into a hug as he started to stroke her hair.
"Besides I just want you to take it easy today okay. You've must of been working hard and had a lot on your mind that you would just simply pass out on me last night." Kuzuku whispered. 21's eyes widened as she smiled at his kind words.
"Thank you Kuzuku, but could you let go before I accidentally burn the pancakes." 21 said.
"Oh sorry." Kuzuku realized, releasing her from his hold. At that moment, his new phone buzzed as a new message was sent to him. He took his phone out of his pocket to see what it said.
"Yo, where are you at the moment? Ryusika will be here any second now." from Ace.
"Crap, I nearly forgot that I had to meet up with Ace at his place so we can chat about Ryusika." Kuzuku moaned.
"Hmmm? What happened with her?" 21 asked.
"I don't know how to put this in any other way but things just got complicated. For starters, do you remember the last party we went to?" Kuzuku asked.
"Yeah, the one where Kize slipped and fell on his back while a pile of ranch fell on his head?" 21 answered. Kuzuku nodded to confirm that she was right.
"Well apparently Ryusika and Vincent got drunk and apparently did the 'Get drunk at a party and have intercourse, only to know that a week later the female finds out she's pregnant' cliche'. So to put it bluntly Ryusika got pregnant and Vincent is the father." Kuzuku explained.
"What! But wait, if Vincent is the father then why isn't he meeting with you guys as well?" 21 asked.
"That's the thing, he is trying to avoid taking responsibility for his mistake. As of right now I don't know where he is. When Kize got back from searching for him, he said that he found him in a park and didn't want anything to do with the girl and that is not even the worse part. According to Ryusika, her parents are the over-catering type where they will punish anyone who did anything to their daughter. The worst that could happen is that Vincent would get tortured slowly before getting killed." Kuzuku explained. 21 expression deepened at the news that she had heard. Granted she considered Ryusika an obstacle since she knew that the girl still had feelings for Kuzuku despite him shutting her down but she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Not gaining the love that she pretty much yearned for and only to end up getting accidentally put into a situation that you didn't mean to get yourself into because you were under the influence of some sort of beverage is definitely pity worthy. This caused her to feel angry at Vincent for merely avoiding the whole thing, leaving all the pressure on Ryusika, even going as far to think that Vincent deserves what he gets in the end if this doesn't work out. She shook her head from the dark thought as she didn't want to wish pain upon someone like that. Kuzuku noticed her distraught and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry to much about it 21, we'll find a way to sort this out. But while I am gone could you please make sure the two idiots that are in their rooms right now don't screw things up. I know Riley has been capable but they seem to have a way to twist her mind to their whim. Last time they ordered a bunch of unnecessary food and cost me atleast five-hundred thousand zeni." Kuzuku chuckled.
"Alright, I will make sure they don't get into trouble." 21 giggled. He smiled before placing his fingers on his forehead and used instant transmission, leaving his girlfriend to tend to the task.
-Instant Transmission SFX-
Ace was patiently waiting in his room with Liz and Kize who were waiting for Ryusika to show up. The three of them jumped at the sound of Kuzuku popping into the room in a mere instant.
"Yo, I got your text, sorry that I didn't come right away. I kinda woke up late and got 21 a tad bit angry but things are good now." Kuzuku chucked.
"Yeah but how did you get here so fast?" Kize asked.
"Uhh teleportation?" Kuzuku answered. They nodded in union as the bedroom door opened, revealing a butler that escorted Ryusika to the room. He closed the door the moment the girl walked into the room.
"Glad you could make it Ryusika, now let's get right into this. We better not waste anymore time." Ace said. With that, the friends would all sit around trying to come up with ways to approach this whole situation.
Meanwhile In Some Jail By The Outskirts Of Town
Glade was stuck in his cell for god who knows how long. He had been twiddling his thumbs in frustration about what had happened months ago. He was initially pissed that the former "nerd" boy outplayed him in every category so bad that he ended up in this jail cell but to add insult to injury, he had been dumped by his girlfriend. As of right now he is accusing her of dumping him, only to be with the stronger and more dominant person which wasn't really true.
"Damn Him! Damn Her! Mark my words I will get out of here no matter what!" Glade cursed in frustration but snickered as he counted the minutes.
"And I think that it's about time I do." Glade muttered. On cue, the cell's walls were blown open, unraveling a bunch of gang members that are pals with Glade. The guards rushed to see what had happened but were shot down instantly by the goons Ak-47's.
"About time you got me out of here boys." Glade smiled mischievously.
"You're welcome boss. Besides we are loyal to only you and whenever you are in trouble, we'll be there." One goon said. With that the whole gang got into their trucks and drove off to their hideout as alarms could be heard behind them. When they arrived at the hideout which was an abandon storage house, Glade went in and got changed into tank-top shirt with baggy jeans and white and red striped shoes. His slicked back brown hair was slightly messy due to it not being taken cared of in a long time.
"So boss, what are you going to do now that you are free?" one minion asked. Glade expression stood the same for a moment until it morphed into something sinister. We all know where this is going to lead.
"How about we get a little bit of revenge on those bastards and that bitch who dumped me. Yes, they deserve to feel the same pain that I felt for all those months." Glade said. Everyone then started laughing in agreement at his idea to get his revenge on them.
"Just you wait you cunt, I will make sure you pay for what you've done to me." Glade thought.
Back At Ace's House
It'd had been a few hours since they've started their brainstorming session due to the fact that it is the middle of the afternoon. Everyone could only think of one idea as the others would only leave to things being even more complicated than it needed to be.
"I think you don't have much of a choice here. You are going to have to be on front with them." Kuzuku said.
"I agree, even if we were to reveal that you got pregnant by accident and that it wasn't just Vincent's fault, I don't think that they will disregard the fact that he isn't taking responsibility for it." Ace added.
"Wait hold on, what if we hide the fact that Vincent doesn't want any part of the pregnancy until we knock some sense into him." Kize suggested.
"Yeah but what if her parents ask about Vincent and his whereabouts. Surely they will suspect something is off when she is the only one to tell the truth and while her baby daddy is out somewhere else." Liz countered. Everyone was now back to the drawing board until things were getting late so Ryusika decided that it was enough for today.
"I think that is enough for now. I think I have an general idea on what to do." Ryusika smiled.
"Okay, but you sure you don't want us to accompany you home?" Kuzuku asked. The girl simply nodded and turned around before anyone could see her flush face.
"No it's fine, I can fly myself home anyways." Ryusika stuttered. She left the room as everyone else was back to planning more things before they left. She made her way out of the mansion and said goodbye to Ace's mother Sherry. For some reason she felt like she wanted to go for a walk around the park and think about things. That was when she was suddenly pulled over behind a tree, letting out a yelp in the process.
"And what do you think your're doing out here so late? It dangerous you know." A voice asked. She looked up to give a disgusted expression but her face only showed shock as the person that pulled her over was none other than Vincent in a black coat and some pants.
"Wha-What are you doing here?" Ryusika asked
"Don't worry about that, now tell me what in the hell you are doing out here?" Vincent repeated. Ryusika's face morphed from a puzzled look to one of anger.
"What's this all of a sudden? Shouldn't you be packing your things so you can go to that football college? I thought you wanted to get away from it all and forget about what you did to me?" She said sounding angry.
"Oh I'm sorry, maybe I should leave you to walk around this park so you can get potentially raped in the middle of the night!" Vincent snapped
"Well what if I did?! You wouldn't care anyways!" Ryusika retorted.
"You're right maybe I shouldn't care but I at least I have enough courtesy to be concern about one of my friends getting into trouble!" Vincent shouted.
"OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO CARE THAT YOU GOT ME PREGNANT AND YOU'RE RUNNING AWAY FROM IT ALL!" Ryusika screeched. She was now crying very hard.
"I know that it was a mistake and that we both didn't want this but that how it is. We were all just at Ace's house trying to come up with ways to tell my parents about all of this without them getting pissed and end up killing YOU in the process. All I wanted was some of your support but no I couldn't even get that from the one who is the father of this child!" Ryusika ranted. Vincent couldn't formulate a proper sentence to counter what she had said. He knew that everything was true and as he knew that everything she said was true.
"And it doesn't help that despite all this I still love him." Ryusika sniffed as the tears flowed.
"You mean Kuzuku right...?" Vincent whispered.
"Of course I mean him! But I know all too well that I can't have him because he is with that pink lizard girl! He loves her too much to even look at me the same way and it hurts. It hurts so much to yearn for love that you can't receive but you know what? I am starting to think I deserved this from being completely and utterly useless! I don't know why Kami gave me a life where I am spoiled to the highest degree! Hell my parents would rather put all the blame on you than rather on the both of us!" Ryusika cried.
"To top it all off, here I am. The girl who wanted to change to being less spoiled and selfish is still wanting the love of a man that she can't get and not only that is wanting uncompensated support from someone who doesn't want anything to do with her anymore. I am nothing more than a burden for everyone around me." Ryusika finished. Vincent stood silent from her heartfelt speech and tried to process the meaning of her words. He felt a tint of guilt that she had to deal with all this by herself despite her rich background. Normally people would assume that rich girls like her are all happy and self-centered due to the amount of clothes, jewelry, accessories, and make-up they have but in her case despite having all that is still feeling sorrow that she couldn't be any use to other people to the point where she feels undeserving of it all. The future college football star couldn't think of any other words to say but...
"I'm sorry..." Vincent whispered. Ryusika looked up at him with teary eyes.
"I guess I've been pretty unfair huh? Hell I don't think a simple 'sorry' is going to be enough for forgiveness. You've been through all this pain and hid it from us for so long and now that you are in such a stressful situation you've let everything you've been feeling out into the open haven't you? In truth you may think of yourself as nothing more than a burden and selfish but the isn't it counterintuitive to wish on not being so much of a burden?" Vincent said softly. Ryusika started to cry even harder as she fell to her knees. Vincent went down to hug her in hopes to soothe her tears.
"But to add on, I was the one being selfish in this situation by only worrying about how my career could go up in smoke from all this. But now, I don't think I can run away anymore. It's been eating away at me all night and I don't think it will leave me alone until I come to some closer to this problem." Vincent added. Vincent then picked her up bridal style, catching her off guard.
"Now I think that it's gotten too late for this kind of thing so we better get you home right?" Vincent smirked. Ryusika's mouth was left agape as she stopped crying. It then morphed into a small smile and nodded as Vincent took her home.
