LOOPHOLE CHAPTER 4!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own ANY Dragonball/Z/GT character or characters! I also do not own any plotlines, settings, or anything else like that! Akira Toriyama owns ALL of that stuff!
Claimer: I DO, however, own KIMI BRIEFS/SON, MATTHEW WALSH, AND ANY OTHER OC'S I COME UP WITH! I WILL SUE YOUR ASS IF YOU TAKE THEM!
DON'T READ THIS: I'VE HAD MANY QUESTIONS FROM REVEIWERS ABOUT KIMI'S CHOICES WHEN SHE CAME BACK TO EARTH. I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT SHE WAS EIGHT WHEN SHE CAME BACK, SO HER CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS WEREN'T THAT GREAT. AND WHEN GOKU DIES, SHE THINKS THAT WANDERING BACK HOME, AND TELLING CHI-CHI THAT SHE'S BEEN THERE 8 YEARS WOULDN'T BE THE BEST IDEA. OH, AND IN my STORY, GOKU STAYS DEAD FOR THREE YEARS, NOT SEVEN!
on with the story!
3RD PERSON POV...
Everyone watched as Gohan put up a fight to keep the paramedics away from Kimi.
"Son, she might still be alive! We can keep her in good health!" The paramedic said, trying to persuade Gohan to hand over Kimi.
"No! I know she's alive! She has a damn pulse!" he yelled.
"Give Kimi to me!" A light, but demanding voice said. Everyone turned their heads toward the door, where, in the flesh and expensive clothing, stood Bulma Briefs.
Everyone stopped. They stared in awe at the richest woman in the world. After a minute, Bulma repeated "Give her to me. There's a med-flight jetcopter outside to take her to the hospital." She said.
Gohan started to walk toward her. "Bulma, how did you get here so quick?" He asked.
"I took my prototype jetcopter, now come with me Gohan, we have to get Kimi to the hospital." She said, briskly walking out the door. Gohan followed closely behind, holding Kimi close.
AT THE HOSPITAL...
Gohan, Goku and Chi-Chi paced around the waiting room. "I can't beleive it! She's been here EIGHT years! She didn't want to come home?!" Goku spazzed.
"She didn't want to come home because she thought she would be forced to fight." Gohan stated.
"My baby! I just got her back, and now I'm gonna lose her again!" Chi-Chi wailed.
Vegeta entered the waiting room. "The woman says that the girl will be fine." He said in a monotone voice.
"KIMI!" The small family shouted happily, running full speed to Kimi's hospital room.
IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM...
Kimi groaned as she began to stir. "Ugh" she said, rubbing her head, trying to ease her headache.
"Hey there Kimi." Goku said lightly.
Kimi blinked. "Dad?" she asked.
"Yep. It's me. Your mom's here too." He said in the same gentle tone.
"KIMI! YOU'RE BACK!" Chi-Chi shouted, wrapping her long lost daughter in a hug.
Kimi hugged her mom back. She might have made the choice to stay secluded herself, but the thought that she missed her family often passed her mind. She sometimes wanted to come home, the notion of her family forcing her to fight dismissed as silly. Except she always stopped herself before she could even get out of Capsule Corps.
After a few minutes, Kimi was gasping as her lungs cried for air. "M-Mom, I... Need... Air..."
Chi-Chi released her. "Sorry, I just missed you so much!" She said.
Kimi replied "I missed you too, mom! I missed all of you."
Suddenly, a little orange blur raced into the room, tackling Kimi onto the hospital bed. "Who are you? Huh?" The little chibi asked, eyeing her confusedly.
"I'm Kimi. Who are you?" She asked the adorable little kid.
"Big brother, who's the lady?" Goten asked Gohan.
"Goten, that's Kimi. She's your big sister." Gohan answered.
"What?" He said. "I don't got a big sister!"
"You've seen me before, Goten! Remember the lady who would play with you and Trunks when you were at his house?" I asked him.
He looked like he was remembering something. "Yeah! Trunks said you were a maid!"
"He what now?" I asked. "I am not a maid. I never will be." I said.
Suddenly, Trunks stuck his head inside the room. "Hehe, sorry about that. I just wanted to protect your secret Kimi, honest!"
I laughed. "It's alright Trunks. Just don't tell anyone else that I'm a maid, ok?" I told him.
"Ok!" He said. "C'mon Goten! Let's go play with the toys in the waiting room!"
Goten shrieked with joy. "Yay! Toys! Let's go!" He then jumped off of me, and followed Trunks out of the room.
I laughed, watching him run off. "Aw, now that's cute." I said. I noticed a weird feeling coming from the finger that I wore my ring on. I looked down. It was gone. "Where's my ring?" I asked.
Gohan answered "The doctor took it off of you. He gave it to Bulma."
"Well, go get it from Bulma." I said. "Not having it on makes my finger feel weird."
The doctor chose that moment to walk into the room. "I reviewed the technology of the ring with Mrs. Briefs, and I think it would mess with the operations of some of the machines on the ICU floor, so no ring for you." He said.
"Did she tell you why I wear the ring?" I asked suspiciously.
"She said something about, suppressing a power level?" He said. He was obviously confused.
"Oh, right. See, 'power levels' come from tracking chips that are in your head, and a nazi can track you down unless you have technology to block the signal. That's what I use the ring for." I said.
He looked baffled. "What? Nazis? OH NO! THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING FOR SURE!" He screamed, running in circles around the hospital room.
"He's finally lost it." I said. I got out of bed, and grabbed his arms. "Looney bird, listen up! There's a place in here called the 'Psyciatric Ward', and you're going to spend some time there, okay?" I said.
"Ok." he said.
"Someone come get this loon, please!" I shouted into the hallway.
A short, plump nurse came into the room with a straight jacket. I helped her get it on him, and he was taken out the door.
"NAZIS!" He screamed, trying in vein to escape the nurse.
"Nice work, Kimi." Bulma said sarcastically, entering the room. "That poor doctor is going to have nightmares for months!"
"Who's scared of a dead race of people?" I asked. "Is Adolf Hitler going to come back from the dead?" I asked sarcastically.
"No. Maybe some decendants of him are alive?"
"Then shoot them."
"Why?"
"They might be evil!"
"What if they're not?"
"Shoot them anyway! Their kids could be evil!"
"What if their kids aren't either?"
"Just shoot them!"
"Ladies stop!" Sharpener yelled, walking into the room with Erasa and Videl.
"What in the HELL are you doing here, Sharpener?!" I yell.
Erasa said "I made him come with Videl and me so he can say sorry about what happened at lunch. We brought flowers!" She squealed.
"Ah-Ah-ACHOO!" I sneeze. I have allergies. Pollen messes with them.
"Sorry! I didn't know that you had allergies!" Erasa said, handing me a box of tissues.
I took a few from the box and blew my nose. "It's okay! You didn't know!"
I then realized that Videl hadn't said anything. Like she didn't want to be here. "You ok, Videl?" I ask.
"Wha? Oh! Yeah, I'm fine!" she said, like she was in her own little world.
It was easy to see that she was thinking about something. "What are ya' thinking about?" I ask, hopeful to get an answer.
"What? Oh, nothing really. Just that essay..." She drifted off, clearly lying.
"Essay? I have every class with you, Videl. I would've known if we had an essay." Gohan said, eyeing Videl with curiosity.
'She clearly doesn't want to tell us what she's thinking about.' Gohan thought. 'But what could be that important?'
"Well, um... It's for extra credit!" she lied.
"Seriously?" I asked. "An extra credit essay on the FIRST day of school? That is a load of bull crap."
"Well, you wouldn't know! You weren't here half of the day!" She said, a smirk etched on her face.
"I was. There was NO extra credit essay. I was the last out of every class, and I never heard you speaking to a teacher about it." Gohan said, his own smirk showing proudly.
"Videl, stop lying and tell us what's on your mind!" I said.
She said "I heard you and Gohan talking this morning and I was wondering what that stuff meant! Seriously, protect the Earth? MY dad does that! And, Kimi, you DIED? That's impossible! You wouldn't be here right now if you were dead! Living with Bulma, Vegeta, and Trunks? You mean BULMA BRIEFS and her family?! No way. At all. You don't know her! You can't! My dad SAVED the Earth and didn't get to meet her! There's no way that someone like YOU would KNOW her, let alone LIVE with her!" Videl screamed.
During the middle of Videl's tyrade, Bulma walked in. "Young lady," She began "I will have you know that Kimi DOES indeed live with my family and myself. She actually is a memeber of my family, so to speak. She is the daughter of my friend, Goku. Yes, she has died before, but technology brought her back. The reason your father never met me is because he is a creep!" Bulma said, her voice raised. "And, by the way, it would be of your best intrest not to say things like, 'There's no way someone like YOU...' to Kimi or Gohan. If you saw what Kimi did to Ms. Angela today, be warned that the same thing, or worse, could happen to you." Bulma finished, arms crossed.
Videl was annoyed. "I'm the schools BEST fighter, I work with the police force, and I'm the daughter of HERCULE SATAN! I could handle her anyday, anytime, anywhere." Videl told Bulma.
I glared at Videl. "Oh please. You USED to be the schools best fighter, I don't care if you work with the police force, and being his daughter isn't all that great so don't walk that title around too much." I said. "Oh, and if you think you could take me on, try. I dare you. You would lose miserably like the little pansy you are!" I yelled.
3RD PERSON POV...
An arguement ensued between Kimi and Videl.
"Guys, STOP!" Erasa yelled. "Arguing won't get you anywhere!"
"If she keeps on it'll get my fist in her face!" Kimi yells.
Videl paused to think of a comeback, but she had already used her best ones.
"Aha! Now, Erasa, please escort Videl out of here, and off of a cliff." she said, the last part sarcastic, but she wouldn't really mind if it happened in reality.
After Videl had been taken out of the room, the questions flew.
"K-Kimi, why did you stay with Bulma and Vegeta?" Goku asked, on the edge of his seat, anxious to know the answer.
FLASHBACK!
Kimi started to fly towards home, her ki suppressed, so her family would be suprised of her return, and not sense her coming.
'Why am I going home?' she thought. 'Oh gosh, where did that thought come from? Ooh yeah, I remember now...'
FLASHBACK IN A FLASHBACK...
Kimi was practicing some more advanced moves. She got tired pretty fast, and walked over into king Kai's small house to get her water bottle.
She overheard king Kai's conversation with King Yenma.
"I don't know, Yenma." King Kai said. "I don't think that Kimi will have as much potential to become the Ultimate warrior as her brother, Gohan."
END OF FLASHBACK WITHIN A FLASHBACK...
'Well, if I apparently don't have as much potential as Gohan, then why am I fighting anyway?' She thought. 'I guess it's because that the Z-Gang will expect me to fight, since I trained with King Kai and all' 'Yeah, they would expect me to fight. To risk my life again. If I said I didn't want to, would they make me?' she wondered. 'No, probably not. Hold on, I don't know them that well. I have a 50/50 chance at best. But I want a 100/100 chance of not being forced to fight. Mom could always be on my side. She didn't want either one of us to fight. But I trained with King Kai. She might think it was best!' She realized. 'That's it! Bulma will let me live with her! And she won't tell anyone that I'm there! I'm saved!' she thought happily, changing her course from home to Capsule Corps., her new home.
END OF FLASHBACK...
"So, that's it." Kimi said.
"Wow." Was all poor Goku could say.
"The dilusional 8 year old mind..." Gohan said, driffting into thought.
"Finish that sentence, and I'll whoop you good." Kimi said.
