Chapter 4:
Riley's View
When I got up the next morning the only things I could think of were probably sitting right down stairs. Shin and Gohan. I still couldn't believe that I had told Saphire and Rori that I liked him. They probably think that I'm totally stupid or something.
I did my normal routine as I did every morning got up, brushed my teeth, took a shower, got dressed, and did my stretches. Then after I did that I thought that I would peek in on Rori but she wasn't in her room. So I thought that I would see if Saphire was in her room and she wasn't in hers either. So when I came to the top of the stairs I could hear Saphire, Rori, Gohan, and Shin talking. So I decided I would ease drop. (That was a really bad habit that I needed to get over.)
"So Gahan what did you and Riley do your guys' date last night?" Shaphire asked.
"We went to eat and then to a movie." Gohan replied with a happy voice.
"Really? I wish that Trunks would ask me on a date." Rori said. Then it got really quiet. And I knew that she didn't want any one to know that she liked him. (I didn't even know.)
"You like Trunks!" Gohan and Shin said at the same time.
"Yah. But please don't tell him. I don't want him to know just yet." She was really calm and she didn't seem real with it today.
I waited at the top of the stairs until I got my signal. And I was getting really bored just listening to them. It was like watching t.v. without a picture.
Finally Saphire said, "I wonder if Riley is up yet."
"I don't know. We didn't stay out that late last night." Gohan said.
I started to walk down the stairs, "Yah I'm up. I've been up for a while."
"Oh… okay. Cause I was just about to come up and get you. I mean you know how late you can sleep. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays." Rori said.
"Yah, you do have a… ahhhhhhh…" I tripped and fell down the stairs. "OW that hurt like a mother fucker!" I stood up rubbing my ass and trying not to fall over again cause I was really dizzy.
"OH MY GOD! Are you okay?" Gohan asked as he rushed over to help me.
"Yah, I always trip and I always get hurt while doing it. It isn't that big of a deal, really it isn't."
"Okay. But, are you sure." Gohan said as he hugged me.
"Yah, I'm totally sure." Then I looked over at Rori and Saphire and they were laughing their asses off.
"Hey Rie, do you remember when you tripped at the 8th grade dance? And don't forget that it was in front of the guy that you liked." Rori asked. Then she started to giggle.
"YES! And that was the most embarrassing moment ever and I totally blushed. And he just looked at me and laughed. But then after words when a slow song came on he asked me if I wanted to dance with him and then when we were dancing he asked me if I was okay. I told him that I was fine and that I didn't need any sympathy. But after the dance he asked me out and we dated for about a year and a half which was until I moved." I went over and leaned on the bar near the table.
"Yah, that night was so much fun and he didn't care weather you smoked and drank or not." Saphire mentioned.
"SAPHIRE! Why did you say that? You know that I don't want any one to really know about my past and why I shut every one out." I snapped at her.
"Oh, sorry it kinda slipped out and they probably don't care cause that is in the past now and you don't do it any more. So why would they care?" Saphire came back and bit off my head.
"Well, you know it's my past and if I don't want any one to know about then they shouldn't know about it." I told her.
"Why don't you guys just drop it. Saphire just said the wrong thing and she probably didn't mean to say that much stuff as she did. DID YOU?" Rori said then looked at Saphire.
"No, not at all." Saphire said as her eyes got really big and as she clenched her teeth.
"Hey I have an idea, lets start training. You know we have to get started now or we won't get started till tomorrow." Shin said leaning against the wall.
"Fine. So is going to train us. I mean you're not going to train all 3 of us. Are you?" Rori said with a smirk.
"No. You all will have different trainers. Okay, lets see here. Saphire, Goku will train you, Rori, Gohan will train you, and Riley, I will be training you." Shin explained.
"WHAT? NO!" Me and Gohan yelled at the same time.
"I thought I was going to be training Riley." Gohan said as he tried not to hit Shin.
"Well, you're not so get over it. Don't worry, I won't take her from you, cause I have no intention of dating her. Plus she isn't y type." Shin said as he looked at me. I just glared at him.
"Well, I don't wanna date you either. You are to proper for me and frankly you're to stuck up and you are a really hard ass." I told him as I walked over to Goahn and wrapped my arms around him.
"And another reason I'm training her is because she's going to be the most powerful one of all of them. Even when the fourth arrives." Shin was really starting to get on my nerves and I wanted to hit him really hard.
Rori's View
I thought that Riley was going to jump on Shin, but before she could do any thing Gohan grabbed her and shook his head 'no'.
"Fine. Let's start training, since you won't get off of our asses." I said as I went and sat on the edge of the table.
"Fine." Shin said as he went out side.
Riley's View
Shin waited out side for me to get ready, then we went to our training spot. I was so nervous about training I couldn't get my mind off of what it would be like if I was training with Rori and Saphire.
"You need to learn to fly before we spar." Shin said as we arrived at our training spot.
"Uh, Shin where I come from people don't fly unless they are in a plane." I told him as I placed my hands on my hips.
"Well, you're not a normal person. Now are you." He said as he examined the plain that we stood on.
"No, I guess not. Well, how am I going to learn to fly when I've never done it before?" I asked as I sat my self on the ground.
"Um… I don't know how to explain it. Pretty much, if you just concentrate and build up your energy, so you really have to focus on what you want your goal to be. And right now that goal is flying." He was really starting to bore me.
"Okay! Let me try." I said as I stood up and tried to find my power.
I closed my eyes and focused on flying. I could feel my self power up. Not like a saiyan power up, but like a flying power up. I opened my eyes and I could see sparkly things floating around me, then I fell.
"Try again!" Shin demanded.
I got up and tried again. Not because he told me to, it was because I had to prove to my self that I was not a failure. That's what I would always call my self if I would fail some thing. No matter if it was a test in school, or a simple e-mail. But I still fell again and again and again. It pissed my off so bad that I wanted to scream my head off but couldn't cause I had to live up to my expectations.
After falling about a half of million times Shin said, "We should quit. I'll take you back to the Capsule Corp. and we'll keep training tomorrow."
"Okay, my ass hurts. Is that normal, or is it just because I just fell down a lot?" I asked him as I rubbed my butt.
"Well, if you stopped complaining maybe it would stop HURTING." He said as he rolled his eyes.
"You really need to lighten up. You're way to closed on your feelings." I said as I stopped and put on my hands on my hips.
He stopped and turned and looked at me. "You're telling me to lighten up. What about you? Why don't you lighten up? I've read your thoughts, and all I get is hateful thoughts about me and how you wanna kill me. So tell me about that."
"Okay I will. The ONLY reason why I have those thoughts of you is because I don't want you to know what I really think of you."
"And what do you think about me?" I didn't want to tell him that I liked him so I lied.
"You wanna know…" He nodded. "Okay. I think that you are the biggest joke that ever happened, IN MY LIFE!"
"Well, you're the biggest pain in the ass that I have met and I wish that I hadn't have ever met you."
"Oh really. Then, why do I always catch you looking at me?"
"I don't look at…"
"Oh, my bad. Staring at me."
"I just try to figure you out. You are a real mystery to me and I always like a challenge. And you ARE a challenge."
"Well, then why did you decide to train me?"
"Cause you will the most powerful and if Vegeta were to train you, you would probably wouldn't get to use your powers the right way."
"Well, then lets test out my powers." I went up to him and pushed him.
He pushed me back only I fell on the ground. I got up and tried to punch him, but he caught my hand. And pushed it away. Then I pushed him again, and he must have been off balance cause he fell backwards. And he took me with him. We rolled down the hill and I landed on top.
"Well, isn't this weird? And if you wanted to be on top you could of just asked." Shin said as he rolled me over and sat on top of me.
"Well, it kinda is now. And if you wanted to be on top why didn't YOU JUST ASK?"
"You know I would of if you weren't going out with Gohan." Then I kicked him off.
"What? You like me! Oh my God, Oh my God, OH MY GOD!"
"Yah. Is that a crime? And personally I think he's hiding things from you and I personally think you should dump him."
"Why? So I could date you. Or what?"
"No. Cause I think you could do a lot better than him."
"Really? Like who?"
"I don't know. I guess who ever is your type."
It was getting later and later by the minute. After me and Shin's conversation I found my self walking up the stairs to my bed room. I decided to stop by Gohan's room to tell him good night and I herd him talking to some one, so I decided to listen in.
"I don't know Videl. It just doesn't seem right. And yes, I still love you." Gohan said.
"Then, why don't you just dump her and get back together with me?" Videl asked. I couldn't believe that I was hearing this and I was starting to hurt.
"I can't do that Videl. You know that. Plus I love Riley. And she knows that." Gohan said.
"But your dad and mom are getting back together and same for Vegeta and Bluma, so, why can't we?" Videl said.
"I just can't do that but, I guess since I AM still in love with you, I will try to get back together with you." Gohan said. I couldn't believe what he just said. Tears started to run down my face. And as I started to go down the hall to my room I saw Shin.
He saw the tears run down my face and he came up to me and try to comfort me. He tried to put his arms around me but I pushed him away. And ran to my room and slammed the door. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked as I dried my tears trying not to sound up set just incase it was Gohan.
"Its me, Shin. I want to talk to you." He said as I walked over to the door and opened it.
"Are you sure you want to talk to me? I'm a wreck." I said as I leaned against the door.
"Yeah. You need some one to talk to and I thought maybe I could be the one you spill your guts to." He said.
I saw Gohan come out of his room and he smiled at me. Then I got an idea. I looked at Gohan then at Shin. I moved closer to Shin and I hugged him. As I was hugging him I looked at Gohan and I said to my self, 'It's over.' And he must have herd it cause he got a sad look on his face. I guess my powers were increasing.
"Okay. Come in." I told Shin. And I invited him in. And before I closed the door I looked back at Gohan and he just looked at me back and then went down stairs.
"So, what was that for?" Shin asked as I closed the door.
"Cause you tried to hug me and I just pushed you away and I didn't want to seem like a bitch. Plus, I kinda needed one." I told him as I sat down on the bed.
"Well, you're not a not a bitch, as you put it. And you looked like you were ready to kill some thing or some one." Shin said as he came over and sat down next to me.
"Thanks. But I take 'bitch' as a compliment. I know it might sound a little weird, but I do." I turned and looked at him.
"You do? Well, I guess you have your own opinions and if you think that calling you a 'bitch' then I guess I'll call you one if I get mad at you."
"Okay by me. Call me what ever you want. Besides hoe, whore, or slut cause I can't stand it when some one calls me that cause they have no idea what I'm like. They judge me before they know me."
"Okay I won't, I'll be nicer than I have been. I at least owe you that much."
"Yah ya do!" We didn't say any thing to one another for a few seconds until I looked at him.
Then he said, "I like you Riley. I really do."
"What! Uh… no you don't." I told him as I stood up and backed up, away from him.
"Yes I do! I have never been so open to some one, until I met you. I really do like you, Riley, and I want to be with you." He stood up and walked towards me. I backed up until I hit the wall. He came up to me and he put his hands on the wall by my neck.
"We shouldn't, we can't." I told him as I tried to get away but failed. He grabbed my arms and kept me up against the wall.
"Why? Why can't we? Don't you like me?"
"Yes, no, yes, I don't know. I mean you're the Supreme Kai. You can't love. Remember?"
"I don't care. I love and I'll break the rules to be with you."
"But…" I didn't get to finish cause he kissed me. And I really don't know what took over me but I wrapped my arms around him and I pulled him close to me. We moved over to my bed and he was on top of me. I still wasn't sure why I wanted to do this and I was really cautious about what to do cause I was still a virgin. He must have known cause he was careful. It hurt, but felt good at the same time. And then I really, REALLY liked it.
The next morning I woke up and rolled over to find nothing, no Shin. I got up and took a shower and got dressed. But when I went to get a shirt out of my dresser and I found a note and a blue/heart shaped necklace laying on top of it. The heart had a green glow in the middle of it.
I opened the note and I read it. It said, 'You can trust me. I'll love you for ever. I'll never hurt you and I'll be there for you when you need me the most. Like I have said before, "I love you." Love always and for ever. Shin.'
I looked at the note one last time and put it in my drawer. And I put on the necklace on. Then I went down stairs. To find Saphire, Rori, Trunks, Goten, and Shin sitting around the table.
"It's time to start training. And we need to work extra hard today. We are running behind." Shin said. He was acting like nothing had happened between us last night.
"Okay." I said as I walked out side.
"What is her problem?" Saphire asked.
"I don't know." Goten said. "Maybe she needs to get laid."
"Don't say that!" Shin said. "She has a good heart don't clown around about that."
"Fine." Goten said.
"Are you ready?" Shin asked me as he arrived at the plain that we trained on.
"Yah. Sure." I told him as I crossed my arms.
"Goten is right, there is some thing wrong with you. What is it?" Shin asked as I stood there waiting for him to figure it out.
"Why are you asking me that! You should know. You caused it." I told him.
"What do you mean?" He asked me. He was getting real cocking with me.
"What I mean is, I am really pissed at you cause you're acting like nothing happened between us last night."
"I didn't tell any one cause I keep my private life to my self. And I think if I don't want any one to know then I think that they shouldn't know."
"I guess that makes sense. I'm sorry."
"It's alright. You didn't know." He smiled and he hugged me.
Then we started to train.
