Usagi's Choice~ Chapter Seven~ Aftermath
Bulma had been rather confused when Gohan had brought back her little boy so early.
Now Gohan was normally a pleasant young man, even tempered and always polite. And everyone who had ever met him would readily agree that he was a sane; though rather dense; person.
Yet when Bulma looked at him she didn't see any of this. The young man she had seen grow up looked furious and utterly confused all at once and she couldn't get a word out of the normally talkative boy.
Except that is, his occasional mumble of "Nii-chan", which each time was promptly followed by an angry snort and then a confused head scratch.
And though Bulma's patience had increased dramatically since meeting and mating with the royal saiyan pain in the ass… prince, it hadn't improved that much. She was able to stand this sequence of events for the better half of ten minutes, at which point she wished that she had Chichi's magical frying pan handy. But since she didn't the next best thing she could think of was to yell in the poor boy's ear.
"Gohan! Snap out of it!"
The handsome teen yelped and glanced up at the irate blue haired genius as he rubbed his now aching head tenderly. "Bulma… you know how good my hearing is. You didn't need to yell…"
Bulma rolled her eyes, resisting the overwhelming urge to glare at her friend. "If you hear so well why haven't you answered me once in the past ten minutes?"
Gohan blinked, managing to look exactly like a confused Goku. "You've been calling me?"
Bulma groaned and rubbed her temples. The kid was so smart, so how was it that he was also incredibly dense? "I have."
"Oh… Well what did you want?"
"Maybe for you to tell me why you've been muttering 'Nii-chan' over and over."
At this his combination of confusion and anger came back. "Androids."
Bulma waited for a moment, then as she saw he was slipping into his own world again asked, "Yes, what about them?"
Gohan glanced up at her and then after much coaxing from the scientist he told what happened at the park.
Which, one can guess, was quite a shock for the blue haired woman. And among many things he heard Bulma mutter one stuck in his mind, mainly because he didn't understand. "She's here.."
A black eyebrow was immediately raised, "You know who the little girl is Bulma?"
The woman, quickly realizing her mistake, shook her head. "No.. I was just thinking aloud." She sighed a bit, "Well there's not much we can do about this until we find out more.." She smiled in a motherly way, something Gohan was still getting used to. "How about you stay for dinner. I know Trunks will love that."

When Seventeen had returned with our blonde bunny he was still grinning. So of course Eighteen thought something was wrong.
"What happened?"
She watched as he put the squirming child down and then both stared as the girl ran outside, looking for more rabbits to play with.
"We ran into Blondie…" His dark grin grew. "It was wonderful. He thought he was coming to the rescue of the little brat and yet she protected me." his pale gaze then drifted to the small child. "She will actually be useful for something.."
And with this new hope in mind they began training the little bunny more fiercely and still all she would do was dodge.
Becoming increasingly annoyed Seventeen decided to approach the little girl about it.
"Why do you refuse to learn?"
"Because fighting is bad."
He grit his teeth at the usual answer. "Demo what if someone attacks you?"
She grinned up at him, "I can dodge!"
Seventeen sighed, he half believe she could. The other half of him found the idea absurd, for in truth it seemed that all the girl was doing was getting lucky.
Whenever they trained her she seemed to have some sort of klutz attack just in time to get away from the blows. And he truly couldn't tell if she was incredibly good, or just that clumsy.
At his lack of response the bunny clearly thought she had won the conversation and was about to skip off when Eighteen appeared.
"You might be able to dodge, demo we want to make sure that no one hurts you."
Usagi blinked, her head tilting in confusion so that her hair barely touched the ground. "Demo you'll always be with me so I don't have to worry. Besides who would attack us?"
"The humans."
Eighteen glanced at Seventeen and raised an eyebrow in question, clearly not understanding what her brother was saying.
"They hate us Usagi and are looking to ride the Earth of us."
The little girls brow furrowed, "Why do they hate us Nii-chan?"
"Because we are different. Humans always fear and hate what they don't understand."
Usagi frowned, "That's not nice."
Seventeen nodded, "Which is why we're teaching you all this. You have to be ready to defend yourself as they won't give up until we're dead."
Slowly the bunny nodded. "Hai, Nii-chan. I'll try so I can protect Nii-chan and Onee-chan."

And she stuck to her word, though she wasn't nearly as strong as they had earlier seen. But she had learned quickly so neither android complained, much.
Usagi on the other hand, whined often. Especially after seeing the response her Nii-chan gave.
~*~
It had been a relatively nice day, except for the constant down pour. And yet Seventeen had forced her to train.
"Nii-chan.. It's cold."
Seventeen grit his teeth in annoyance. "Just don't think about it."
A short nod was his answer and yet just five minutes later it came again. "Nii-chan… It's still cold. Can we go inside now?"
He shook his head and continued to attack the shivering, whining blonde.
"How about now?"
"Iie."
"Nii-chan.."
He groaned a bit, "Iie Usagi."
She pouted deeply and crossed her arms. "Then I'm not playing anymore."
Seventeen's eyes twitched as he glared at her. "First we aren't playing. Second attack."
Usagi shook her head. "Iie."
Seventeen raised his hand, palm out, ready to strike the girl when he heard Eighteen laugh behind him.
"Now, now brother you wouldn't want to hurt our little Usa, would you?" She grinned as his eye twitched again, then; just to anger him further; she held out her hand to the little girl. "Let's go inside and wait for Nii-chan to make dinner."
And of course Usagi instantly latched onto Eighteen's hand, skipping happily in with her sister.
After the two were inside Seventeen cursed loudly and had a small tantrum, which with him consisted of multiple ki blasts being release to destroy what was left of the house next to theirs.

Usagi smiled happily at the memory as she sat eating her ice cream. That had been seven years ago, when she had still been six.
But now things with her two siblings were stranger. They left without her more often and though they always came back with new toys for her she couldn't help but think something was wrong.
So she came up with the brilliant plan of following them. Dangerous, hai. Demo only if she were caught.
When they came in to tell her they were leaving she gave the usual annoyed whine before seeing them off. Then as quietly and discreetly as she could she picked up chase.
