Chapter 4: Yamucha, the Bandit!

Still rushing through the water, Bulma checked the map at Goku and Oolong's request for where the next Dragon Ball is. She said it was around Frypan Mountain. Oolong started to freak out. He told us that a super scary Gyuu-Maou lives. I twitched at demon and started to have a headache.

Oolong then transformed into a fish and dived into the water. Goku was about to go in until Bulma pulled out a fishing rod and took off her panties as bait.

He took it. I don't know why he would take it but we got him back. Goku threaten to eat him if he ran away. Cutlet did sound good. Bulma did give Oolong candy. But from what I smelled of it, it wasn't candy. I waited until Oolong swallowed.

"Don't worry Goku. Just be thankful that you didn't eat the candy."

"What do you mean?"

"It wasn't candy, and I'll leave it at that."

Then the boat stopped. It was out of gas. Oolong can't turn into gas, but an oar can do. Goku got us to the shore quickly.

I jumped onto shore to catch the rope. Bulma's aim was horrible. I had to dive into the water. When I came out, my gi was uncomfortably tight when I tied the boat to a tree. I felt like I was being watched.

I ignored it and looked around. I turned to Bulma when she started to freak out because she doesn't have her capsule case. Goku suggested they walk. She accused him of having Kintoun. Then he suggested that Oolong change into a bike.

Bulma turned sweet, asking for Oolong, but he wasn't here. Then she started to squeal.

She yelled into the distance about what kind of candy it was, PP candy. I watched on, amused by their antics. But it is a problem when Bulma can't even ride Oolong when he is a bike. Then further explanation, he can only hold onto his changed form for 5 minutes, so we walked.

He also got smacked by Bulma for turning into a pair of panties.

We soon came to the dessert. Bulma and Oolong were huffing and puffing while Goku and I were ahead, not out of breath. Goku and I turned to them a few feet ahead.

"You guys are slow. I even went out of my way to walk with you."

I huffed in agreement. Bulma made a comment about being a city girl. I snorted.

"That was a poor excuse Bulma. It doesn't matter where you come from as long as you can do the task."

We stopped when the sun was close setting. Bulma asked for a hotel or an inn. As if there would be any around here. Bulma started to bawl and slowly crawled backwards into shade of a rock. They were hungry. I turned the way we came.

"I'm going back to hunt. I'll be back in a few hours with food."

I went back to the forest we left.

By the time I came back, I have a small dinosaur and a few birds. The sun just set a while ago. I got back to our spot to see a two story camper. I knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Goku.

"Yay, you have food!"

"Yeah, I hope you guys will like it!" *smile*

Oolong and Bulma came out to see what I caught. They stuttered and paled when they saw the dinosaur but calmed down when they saw the birds. I knew they wouldn't eat the dinosaur, hence the birds.

I borrowed a knife from Oolong's kitchen to gut and clean the meat. I had Goku drag the unwanted parts to another place. I took the meat to cook in the kitchen.

When food was done, it looked like a feast.

"Well, dig in!"

We ate. I got compliments from Oolong and Bulma when they, wearily, took the first bit of the bird. They devoured the rest soon enough. I told them since it was just me and Goku, not long ago; I cooked for us with herbs and spices I found. I didn't know how I knew which is herb, spice, piousness plant, ordinary plant or not, it just came to me in whispers that sounded familiar, yet a stranger.

When mealtime was done, I was exhausted. They told me of their encounter of this 'Yamucha' guy. I'm going to give him a piece of my mind for hurting Goku when he is hungry.

Bulma invited me to take a shower with her. I felt tired, tense, and sweaty so, yeah, I agreed. I was too tired to notice the Yamucha guy come back and take a glance at us in our birthday suites.

Bulma noticed first and looked out the window over my shoulder. She was behind me facing the shower head. I faced the window, but was too preoccupied with washing my hair.

We dried off. I got into my freshly scrubbed tube top and shorts. Bulma only got a towel on her body and her hair. My gi wasn't washed yet along with Bulma's clothes.

Bulma couldn't fit Oolong's pajamas so she had to go to bed as is. We all drank juice, but as soon as my lips touched the rim of the cup I smelt it, sleep powder. I pretended to drink it. I followed Bulma upstairs to the bed.

I opened a window and spit out the juice. We went to bed.

Later I woke to footsteps. I sat up as the person came to the top stair. My vision was blurry from sleep, but I knew that it wasn't anyone I knew. I stood but wobbled.

'Damn I think that I drank a little of that juice. I wouldn't be this drowsy.'

I was only 5'6. Probably only an inch shorter from the intruder, and I lost my footing when I slipped on Bulma's towel. I crashed into the intruder. We both fell to the ground. I was on top of him. My eyes were so heavy, my last thought was,

'He was so stiff.'

Normal POV

Yamucha just lay there, stiff as a board with the girl he'd seen in the shower on top of him. He could feel every curve of the girl's body on him. His face was as red as a tomato. He could feel her breath on his neck.

He heard her murmur, "So stiff."

He, involuntary, relaxed. His face returned its color. Just, something, comforting about her was there. It wrapped around him like a blanket. He moved her to place her on the bed. He saw lumps in the sheets next to her …

Kagome's POV

I woke with Bulma the next morning. She complained about her head hurting. I felt fine. When we got down stairs, we saw a tired Oolong and a groggy Goku. I smiled and patted his head.

Apparently, Oolong has been on the lookout for Yamucha all night. Meaning, he didn't get to clean our clothes, not that I mind. It's just Bulma is having a fit about it. Oolong suggested some clothes in the 2nd floor. While she did that, Goku and I devoured a whole month's worth of food. Oolong just looked at us incredibly.

"There goes one month's worth of food."

I looked at him. I may have better manners than Goku, but that doesn't mean I don't eat as much or more. I could eat more, but I'll save that for later.

"Well, you see me and Goku need to eat this much. We burn through it a lot quicker than anyone else can."

"Oh"

"Oolong! You call clothes?!"

And~ in comes Bulma in a Black Sequin Party Bunny Costume. I chocked on my drink and laughed out loud.

"Oh shut it Kagome! Not like you have to wear it."

"Yeah well my clothes aren't clean except what I am wearing and I don't mind as long as I am covered in the right places."

I grinned cheekily until I noticed Goku finished off the rest of the food. I got him in a head lock.

"You brat! You ate the rest of the food!"

"hahahaha then you shouldn't have been so distracted then Kagome!"

I let go and we both laughed while Oolong and Bulma argued. I caught the last bit. I looked at her puzzled as the vehicle moved.

"Hey, uh, Bulma? What's makeup?"

She looked at me in horror. She then dragged me to the bathroom. She braided my hair into a fish net braid and she put some powder on my face along with this 'lip stick'. After that I scrubbed my gi in the tub. Once it was dry I put it on. Bulma asked me to wash her clothes along with mine, but I refused. I told her to do her own work and she stayed in her current attire.

I did feel ridiculous in this 'make up' on so I went to the bathroom to take it off, but I felt Yamucha along with us. I braced for impact.

*BOOOOOM!*

Bulma tumbled and got knocked out. Goku, Oolong, and I got out of the car. I demanded, along with Goku, on what was he thinking. He wanted the Dragon Balls. I kinda figured since he is being persistent. I scowled at him while Goku stuck his tongue out.

"There's no way we're giving them to you!"

Oolong wanted us to give them up. Goku and I refused. I stepped forward.

"I'll take him Goku. You stay back to protect Bulma and Oolong just in case."

Yamucha looked coolly at me and blushed faintly. I raised an eyebrow and got into a good stance for both defense and offence. I hit him with a light glare. I can tell he isn't such a bad person, but I still want to kick his ass for Goku.

But it wasn't going to happen, Goku charged from behind me to attack Yamucha. I huffed in the background of their fight. I was slightly put out that Yamucha would leave a fight because his tooth is chipped or missing. He was good fighter.

Oolong congratulated Goku. I got to work by pulling Bulma out of the ruined vehicle. I carried her piggy back for a while with Oolong pestering me.

A bit later, Yamucha came back and gave us a car. I knew he wasn't such a bad person. I smiled brightly to him and thanked him. Goku agreed with me.

I saw Yamucha blush, said "you're welcome" and drove off. I didn't know what that was about. While I wonder this, Oolong checked the car for possible bombs. We got into the car afterward.
