Why is it that I stop at every half point of all the stories that I write?...Okay, seriously. You two have to talk someday!
Arina: Not unless he apologizes!
Cell: You shouldn't be bathing in public!
Y.A.R.: You know very well that the both of you will have to be talking sooner or later!
Arina:...I'm hungry.
Y.A.R.: (anime fall)
Chapter 6-Conscience Talks
Okay, so he lived through the onslaught from the now terrifying girl he dubbed Arina.
The medium, dark-red slap mark was visible on his face and he wasn't too pleased from avoiding all of the violence inflicted upon him.
And the girl that got truly furious at the android was facing away from him, her face officially mad and pouting her lips in full fury mode.
As the day became close to the halfway point, Cell was absolutely twitching in anger throughout his entire body. How dare Arina strike him with such force that it left him with something that his competition will entirely question about! But then again...he did kinda provoke the girl's anger by seeing something that he shouldn't had seen in the first place. Now, those images will never leave his mind and Arina would try to kill him again about that very day.
Arina was still furious over what the android saw; but, it was also kind of her fault for not bringing up the barrier that could have prevented the incident in the first place. The female Sayian needed leverage on the situation in order to establish ground on her mission to get the stubborn (and perverted in her own mind) android to leave with her. It was already the sixth day of the time limit before Cell's tournament started and the two were once again on mutual terms. The girl required control on the situation before things got out of hand, especially since no one but her group knows about Iris.
'Lousy, stinking...out of control woman!' Cell thought angrily. 'Okay, maybe I stepped out of line yesterday, but it was all her fault for even bathing like that in public in the first place! If it wasn't for the fact that she knows Iris or my incompetent curiosity about her origins, I wouldn't have this red hand mark on my face!'
"Well, it's your fault for even prying into someone's business, pervert!" Arina barked.
"You didn't even know what I said!" Cell shouted.
"Did too; I know how to personally read a person's mind." Arina huffed. "Which means your private thoughts are literally open for me to hear!"
"Why you...That's an invasion of privacy!" Cell growled.
"Too bad!" Arina said, folding her arms in arrogance.
Oh, how much he wanted to choke Arina so badly...to even slaughter her body until nothing remains anymore...to caress such gentle skin...
Wait, where did that thought come from? No, it was impossible! There is no way that Cell could be developing feelings for the Sayian girl! He thought a whole lot of inventive ways to kill Arina just to clear his conscience of such feelings; there was absolutely no way that he'll let that sneaky woman read his mind again. But, wait a minute...Cell was made from the DNA of the best fighters around! How could Arina even pinpoint the real mind of the android himself when all of the memories of the warriors encrypted into his structure were scattered around his brain?
Arina wanted to restore the trust she had for the android, but it was considerably hard since the whole bathing incident left no space for apologies. The girl may be clueless when in comes to romance verbally; expressing it was a completely different story. Plus, she was self-conscious about her female image. Arina would murder any guy who dared to cross that line; many survived her wrath, but were mentally scarred for life.
"Look," Cell started, pinching his nose in irritation. "I don't know how the hell you can tell me apart from all the warriors that was encrypted into my body, but what good reason is there for any one of us to even be this mad at each other?"
"So, basically what you're saying is that you want to get back on mutual grounds, huh?" Arina said.
"Whatever." Cell grumbled.
"Okay, but no more peeking at me when I'm bathing!" Arina demanded.
"Put some kind of damn shield up if you don't want anybody seeing you, dammit!" Cell shouted.
"I only forgotten once, alright? It's not that I let everybody see what I look like!" Arina pouted.
'More like you bathed in so many isolated spots that you never noticed your own surroundings!' Cell thought.
"You know that I can still hear your thoughts in my mind." Arina said.
"Get out of my head, dammit! My thoughts are my personal opinions!" Cell said.
"-yawn- I'm sleepy. Is it becoming night already?" Arina yawned.
"Well, it's turning dark right now..." Cell said.
"Okay then...I'm staying here for the night." Arina said. "Goodnight."
"W-Wait a minute!" Cell stuttered. "N-Not on my fighting arena!"
But the female Sayian was already knocked out, and Cell was fighting his mind on whether or not to keep Arina here. It's not like those idiotic humans would try to risk their lives again just to destroy him. Glancing from the corner of his left eye, to see the childish Sayian sleeping in such a serene position made his mind go insane to get away from the girl as fast as possible. Cell left the arena and came back with fur from an unknown animal and placed it on Arina. Sitting near Arina, the android folded his arms in wait of the next day. Just four more days, he thought, and soon his tournament will start the beginning of the end.
'What's happening to me? Me, the most powerful being on this wretched planet! Arina's always getting on my nerves, but then again...she made these past several days a little more...dare I say it, interesting?' Cell thought.
'Really, you think so?' Arina said in his mind.
'Stay out of my head, dammit!' Cell thought angrily.
And throughout the sixth night, Cell sat near the sleeping Arina while focusing on controlling his power to use it at full capacity when facing Goku on the day of the Cell Games.
Finally done after so many weeks of planning! I need so much patience when writing. I've been busy dealing with my other stories, so you might have to wait awhile for the next chapter!
R&R, people!
