I complicated my life by falling in love with him
I complicated my life now I'm losing my only friend
Don't know why, I had to try living my life on the other side
No I'm so confused I don't what to do.
Bra let the song seep through her and she silently agreed with the words. Ok so she wasn't losing her only friend but she was losing something worse. Her family. Her freedom. The girl sighed and glanced at her husband were he lay asleep. Ok so she really wasn't that angry about being kidnapped. In fact it was rather exciting. And the fact that Rekelec was a bad guy made things more exciting. He would never admit it but Bra had superheroes (in her opinion) for friends. She could spot a bad guy 15 miles away.
Rekelec sighed and rolled over. He was hot even when he slept. Bra sighed and turned off her…er…Rekelec's…ipod. Quietly she slid out of the bed. With careful steps she reached out and grabbed the door knob on the door. Just as she was turning it Rekelec's sleepy voice said, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Bra groaned and snapped, "And why not? I've been in the same suit of rooms for nearly 5 days. I'm going to get cabin fever!" Rekelec sat up and replied yawning, "A likely story. Yesterday afternoon while I was working Dr Crenshaw was kind enough to show you around the lab. And the day before that you were helping in the kitchen. So therefore your story about cabin fever is unlikely. Besides, it's 2:30 am."
Bra felt her face burn and she said threw gritted teeth, "Listen buster. I may be your wife but you are forgetting that my parents are very influential people! If you don't let me go there will be hell to pay!" Rekelec stayed silent for a moment before saying coolly, "Is that so? Fine. You're free." He stood and with a steel grip grabbed Bra's arm.
Dr. Crenshaw was in the lab putting a few finishing touches on a project when he heard Rekelec's wife screaming. A few moments later Dr. Crenshaw saw Rekelec stomping by his wife securely in his grasp. The doctor frowned and yelled, "Titus! Come here immediately." Titus changed his course and dragged Bra to where the doctor was. With a stern voice Dr. Crenshaw demanded, "Titus what on earth is going on here! Where are you taking Rekelec's wife?"
Titus was growled, "Rekelec got angry so naturally I took over. He doesn't handle anger very well." Dr. Crenshaw was about to reply when Bra removed herself from Titus' grasp and said disbelievingly, "Wait a minute! Are you to trying to tell me that you're not Rekelec!" Titus smiled smugly and said, "You can bet your pretty face on it." Bra could feel the anger boiling up in her. They had tricked her! This whole time she had thought she had been with Rekelec she had been with this…this…cretin! And for some reason that really bugged her.
As if reading her mind Dr. Crenshaw said tiredly, "No my dear we did not trick you. Titus is Rekelec's alter ego. Once he calms down he'll take over." A moment later Rekelec said sleepily, "Did I miss anything!" seeing Dr. Crenshaw he blinked sleepily and asked, "Oh hi Dr. Crenshaw. Was I sleep walking?" before Dr. Crenshaw could answer Bra swung her fist and hit Rekelec hard against the head. As her fist connected to his head she screamed, "How dare you not tell me about Titus! You filthy, lying bastard! I HATE YOU!" she would have kicked him if a dry female voice hadn't said, "I came here expecting to rescue you but instead I find you beating the crap out of Rekelec. Hello Dr. Crenshaw."
Bra whipped around and saw a young woman leaning against the wall. Her golden brown hair was pulled into a pony tail. She had her arms crossed and if looks could kill everyone in the room would have been dead in seconds. Beside her Dr. Crenshaw smiled tightly and said, "Well if it isn't Yoko. And to what honor do we owe visit?" Yoko stepped forward and said sarcastically, "Gee I don't know? Maybe it's because you kidnapped someone? Give her back." Dr. Crenshaw gave a wide smile and said, "Sorry but she's not mine to give."
Rekelec stood and wrapping an arm around Bra said, "Yoko I'd like you to meet your sister-in-law."
Yoko stared in shock at Rekelec. Sister-in-law? Feeling her face turn red Yoko growled, "Are you trying to tell me that you two are married!" Bra blushed a dull red and hung her head. Rekelec merely grinned and said, "Don't worry; it's not to late for you to send a gift certificate." Yoko let out a growl and a split second later was punching Rekelec in the face. They fell to the floor. Bra gasped and Dr. Crenshaw grabbed the 'project' he had been working on. It was a weird looking harpoon gun.
When an opening appeared he shot the gun at Yoko. Yoko had managed to stand and was about to kick Rekelec when she felt something rip through her thigh. As the pain rippled through her, Yoko looked down and saw something protruding from the back of her thigh. It was a hollow looking arrow. Whatever had been inside the arrow was now in her. Grabbing the arrow she firmly pulled it out. Blood began dripping down her leg. Feeling her leg numb Yoko cupped her left hand and sent a chi blast at Dr. Crenshaw.
It slammed into his chest and he was sent flying backwards. Rekelec started to stand but Yoko slammed her good leg across his neck. He collapsed unconscious. Bra merely gaped in confusion. Yoko fell to the floor. Her leg had collapsed on her. Gritting teeth she forced herself to stand again and growled, "Bra I need you to help me. Whatever was in that arrow is spreading pretty fast through my body. Do you know how to fly?" Bra nodded and wet her dry lips.
Yoko swallowed and could feel black touch the edges of her vision. As she fell to the ground she said, "Bra, don't worry about me, I need you to get away from here. Go back to your house and if you see Goten tell him if he doesn't come and get me I'll kill him. GO!" Bra fled and Yoko was vaguely aware of Dr. Crenshaw lifting her up.
"I'm going to kill her!" Goten kicked the coffee table over and continued to pace back and forth. After the paralysis wore off Goten had returned to Capsule Corps. There he found Bulma attempting to pull Vegeta off their half dead son. Now nearly 5 hours later Yoko still hadn't returned and both Vegeta and Goten were at the end of their patience. Bulma had not let Vegeta search for Bra himself saying that they needed to trust Yoko. Now she was beginning to regret her decision.
Trunks sighed and said, "Goten we heard you the first 50 times. And like we told you, if she doesn't show up within the next hour we are going after them. Ok?" Goten's response was grumble something incoherently. Vegeta, who was currently stuffing himself with pizza, growled, "If your little girlfriend gets my daughter hurt then there will be hell to pay!" he finished the statement by slamming his fist through the table. He was rewarded by Bulma whacking him over the head with her frying pan.
10 minutes later the door burst open. Everyone was stunned to see Bra rush in. she wore a bathrobe and her hair was in a messy ponytail. She immediately rushed to Goten and exclaimed, "Goten! You have to hurry! They got Yoko! You have to-UMPH!" she would have said more but Bulma threw her arms around her. "OH BRA! YOU SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF US! WHERE WERE YOU!" hugging her mother back Bra blushed slightly and said nervously, "…er…it's a long story. Where's daddy?" Vegeta cleared his throat and Bra when and hugged her father. He awkwardly patted her back. (How typical of Veggie head)
As Bra pulled away and turned to face the others her bathrobe shifted giving Vegeta an excellent view of her neck. Vegeta wouldn't have given it another thought if he hadn't noticed the redness at the base of her neck. He leaned forward and there among the redness were four breaks in the skin. If Vegeta didn't know better he would say that they were bite marks. In a dangerously calm voice Vegeta growled, "What the hell is this!"
Bra froze and turned to face her father once more. Feeling the blood drain form her face Bra squeaked, "W-what on earth are you talking about Daddy?" She slowly backed away when Vegeta's face turned an ugly shade of purple. A split second later he roared, "DO I LOOK STUPID TO YOU! I AM THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO PLAY STUPID WTH ME! I DEMAND YOU TELL ME WHO YOU HAVE BONDED WITH!" Bulma gasped as did Goten and Trunks.
If possible Bra turned even whiter and said unconvincingly, "I have no idea what you're talking about Daddy." Vegeta's next Roar could be heard three blocks away. "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO FOOL ME! WHO HAVE YOU BONDED WITH!" Bra gulped and said tearfully, "Daddy! I've just come home after being kidnapped and all you can do is yell at me!"
Bulma stepped forward and wrapped a supportive arm around Bra. "Vegeta you can be so insensitive. Come along hon." She glared darkly at Vegeta and led Bra to the stairs. As they disappeared Goten asked tiredly, "If everyone's done loafing can we go save Yoko?"
Well that's the end of this chapter. Next chappie will hopefully answer any questions u have on what happened to Yoko. Till next time…
