Rejhan and Myshel left Capsule Corp. a good two hours later, Myshel completely speechless. After suppressing their ki, they both took to the air from the largest dome's roof, both heading in the same direction since Myshel's apartment was on the way to Rejhan's house. For a while, Myshel just stared directly forwards, not saying a single word. Her mind seemed to be having a hard time processing all of the new information that she had just been given.
"You ok, Myshel?" Rejhan finally asked, a little disturbed by her friend's silence. Myshel glanced at Rejhan with a look of bewilderment and wonder on her face.
"Yeah, I'm ok. It's just something about the fact that I just found out I'm half alien..." she managed to say with amusement. Rejhan chuckled a bit, understanding completely.
"Well, at least now you know the truth. I mean, you were just telling me how you were wondering why you could move so fast, or why you liked to train so much, right? Now you know." Rejhan said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Yeah. It's just...a lot to comprehend." Myshel replied with a slight frown.
Rejhan gave Myshel a warm smile before both girls came to a stop in the air, hovering just above the city limits. After saying goodbye to each other, and promising to train on Friday, since the bar Myshel worked at was to be closing for a week due to the owner taking a vacation, they both went their separate ways.
Myshel landed on the roof of her apartment building, but didn't head for the stairs. Instead, she wandered over to the corner of the roof and took a seat on the siding, staring out into the distance. She watched the clouds, the birds, the sun...then looked down and stared at the cars and people bustling about, on their way to Kami knows where. It all just seemed strangely surreal to her now, even though the city was just going about its normal business.
"I was born to an elite warrior and an abusive drug addict....what a combo," Myshel said to herself, silently laughing. "So I'm a saiyajin..."
Rejhan landed around a mile away from her little domed house and took off at a jog, determined not to give her mother a reason to question her. If she turned up slightly sweaty from the run, at least her mum wouldn't think that she was lying. She hummed to herself as she made her way towards home, supremely happy with the day's accomplishments. As her front door came into view, she sighed. 'Finally,' she breathed to herself. 'Finally, I'm not alone.'
Rejhan was already practicing her forms when Myshel touched down next to the Spanish Oak tree in the valley that they trained in. As soon as she landed, Rejhan noticed something different about her. She had a coolness about herself that was not usually there. Rejhan raised one eyebrow as she stood up from her crouching stance, staring at Myshel questioningly.
"What's eating you?" Rejhan asked, a slight grin on her face. Myshel smirked back.
"I've been thinking is all," she replied. Rejhan nodded, an amused but confused look still on her face, and she proceeded to stretch again with Myshel. After a bit of a warm up, Myshel and Rejhan faced off, looks of determination plastered across both of their faces.
Rejhan, as usual, made the first move. She rushed straight at Myshel, faking a punch before swooping around and trying to flank her. Myshel blocked the flank and launched a combo of a few jabs and hooks, all of which Rejhan either blocked or dodged. Rejhan dipped low to knock Myshel off her feet, only to have Myshel jet upwards, flipping over Rejhan and aiming a spin kick to her head. Over and over, the two attacked each other, and over and over, they blocked and dodged each other. Neither of the girls could get a good hit off on the other, but still the battle raged on.
Myshel threw a punch at Rejhan, followed closely by a quick kick with her opposite leg. Rejhan grabbed her fist with one hand and blocked the kick with the other. Smirking, Myshel quickly spun and threw a roundhouse kick at Rejhan, catching her completely by surprise. It connected, and Rejhan was knocked several feet backwards. She threw her hands back and leapt into a backhand spring to halt her momentum, and came to a stop around twenty feet away from Myshel.
"Whoa, Myshel, that was a good one," she said, still in awe that Myshel had got the first hit off. Myshel was obviously surprised with herself, as well.
"Are you messing with me, Rejhan, 'cause I never get the first hit in,' Myshel said to Rejhan, walking over to join her, a slight scowl on her face. Rejhan raised her hands to shoulder level and shook her head.
"No, that was all you, girl," she replied truthfully. Myshel's scowl disappeared and she smiled, pleased with herself. "You're getting really good," Rejhan continued.
"Thanks." Myshel answered, blushing slightly at the praise.
The girls soon started up once again, only to halt around three minutes in to their second round. They both looked at each other, then all around themselves, before looking back at each other once again.
"Did you just feel that?" Rejhan asked Myshel. Myshel nodded.
"Could it be like, your dad or brothers, or maybe Mr. Vegeta?" Myshel asked. Rejhan closed her eyes and searched for their four ki signatures. After locating them, she shook her head.
"It wasn't them. I've never felt that ki before," she answered with a frown. A ki strong enough for them both to notice yet not recognize was definitely strange.
"Me neither," Myshel added, watching Rejhan intently as she tried to locate the strange ki.
After several moments, Rejhan just shrugged. "Well, it didn't feel too serious; I'd say it was nothing." Myshel nodded again, yet wasn't entirely convinced. The girls soon started to spar once again, and before long, Myshel fell to the ground, exhausted. Rejhan took a knee to catch her breath as well. They both sat and recovered for a while, until Myshel sat up and stared at Rejhan.
"Do you want to come back to my place? We can have a soda and talk a little. Besides, you can't tell me you want to go home and do housework." Myshel said with a laugh.
Rejhan shuddered at the thought of housework, then smiled and nodded. "I'd like that. Let's go!"
They both quickly gathered their things and jumped into the air, flying slowly as they regained some of their energy back. They headed in towards the city and followed the twisting streets, making their way past countless shops and businesses. Finally, they both landed on the apartment roof, and Myshel led Rejhan over towards the stairs. They went down two flights and pushed open a door, making their way down the almost crooked hallway with its peeling wallpaper, sagging ceilings, and stained carpet. Rejhan stared at each door as she passed them, silently wondering what the insides of each room looked like, and who occupied them. She was still staring at one of the doors when she almost ran into Myshel, who had stopped in front of her own door. She had a piece of paper in her hand, and she was staring down at it silently.
"What's up, Myshel?" Rejhan asked, after waiting a few seconds to see if Myshel was going to move. Myshel looked up; a look of defeat and pain in her face.
"I've been evicted. I have three days to move out," she explained in a flat voice. Rejhan just stared at her, completely at a loss as to what to do.
Ok, I know its been a while and this chapter really isn't much, but at least it gives you all a little bit of an idea on what's to come. Make sure you check out Rej and I's individual profiles as well!
