The phone rang loudly in the silent bedroom. A soft groan followed shortly afterwards and the lumpy bed moved around, a hand flying out from underneath the covers to grasp the dark blue receiver. Just as quickly, the hand and phone disappeared under the blankets.

 

"WHAT?" snapped the voice.

 

"Buruma?"

 

"Hey, Chi. What's up?" she asked, slightly more amiable.

 

"Are you still in bed?"

 

"Yes," she groaned. "I'm exhausted."

 

A low chuckle interrupted the conversation. Buruma swatted at the Saiyajin's stomach under the covers. "Knock it off, Vejiita!"

 

"Buruma?"

 

"Nothing, Chi. What's going on?"

 

"Well, you were suppose to be here a couple hours ago..."

 

"Oh, shit!" Buruma cursed, falling out of the bed, taking the sheets with her. That left a naked and very amused Saiyajin no Ouji on her bed, smirking down at her. She glared at him and stalked towards the bathroom. "I'll be there in an half-hour," she said. "I'm sorry, Chi!"

 

"It's okay. Vejiita must have kept you up all night," the other woman teased weakly.

 

Buruma blushed, again causing her mate to chuckle. "Um, sort of, Chi. Anyway, enough about my sex life. I'll get dressed quickly and be on my way, okay?"

 

The younger woman laughed. "Sure. Goku said that he talked to Vejiita last night, postponing their... match until today. He's instructed Piccolo - can you believe it? - to train us today."

 

Vejiita growled. "No."

 

Buruma sighed. "Vejiita says no, Chi. He's eavesdropping again. He doesn't want another... male to train me."

 

"Why not?"

 

"Said something about it not being right. A Saiyajin thing, I think. Anyway, since Son-kun insisted that I should, I'm sure Vejiita will be coming with me to argue with him about it."

 

"Of course I am," came the reply from the bedroom.

 

"Oh. Well, see you in a few," the younger woman said.

 

"Hey, Chi?"

 

"Yeah?"

 

"Are you okay? About your father I mean?"

 

The other woman sighed. "I'm okay. Goku said that he'd probably be kept alive for now and not to worry. He'll save him and I have every confidence in Goku to defeat this new enemy."

 

Vejiita snorted from behind the blue-haired female. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "I will defeat this female. Then I will find a way to permanently kill that idiot as well."

 

Buruma rolled her eyes, rummaging through her drawers. "Chi. Going to go now."

 

"Okay, bye!"

 

"Bye!" She clicked off the cordless phone and set in on the dresser. She pulled out a pair of biker shorts, a lot like Vejiita's choice of training clothes, which were black, and threw on a white tank top. She brushed out her hair quickly, pulling it into a long ponytail and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Vejiita had left the room moments earlier and returned silently sneaking up behind his mate. He wrapped an arm around her possessively, causing her to jump a bit in surprise.

 

She pushed him away gently and sat on the bed to put on her shoes. When she was finished, she grabbed her capsules and glanced at her mate, a funny look on her face. "Vejiita?"

 

"Hn?" he asked as he watched her.

 

"We match."

 

"Huh?" He glanced at her clothes and glowered. He happened to be wearing exactly the same things she was, in the same colors. "Onna, I always train in these!"

 

"I know... I guess I just didn't think about it while I was dressing. I'm sorry."

 

He smirked and leaned in to nip her nose. "Stupid."

 

"We are so going to get made fun of."

 

He glared at her. "It is your fault."

 

She smiled. "I know, but you'll get just as much shit about it as I will." She winked at him. "It'll do you good. Am I driving?"

 

He shook his head and wrapped his arm around his mate, walking towards the balcony. Throwing open the doors, he levitated slowly into the air and moved Buruma more comfortably against him before taking off.

 

"I can fly..."

 

He smirked. "I know."

 

"Then why..."

 

"I am faster."

 

She rolled her eyes. "I think you just want to cop a feel."

 

He looked at her, his smirk widening. "Whatever gave you that idea?"

 

"Your hand on my ass."

 

"Onna?"

 

"What?"

 

"Shut up!"

Vejiita landed lightly outside the Son household and set his mate down gently. He glanced at her curiously as they walked towards the front door.

 

She winked at him again and knocked on the door. After a few moments, Chichi answered it, and she smiled in greeting. Of course, the smile turned into a startled blink then moved more towards a gape. She then burst out laughing. "You two match!"

 

Vejiita glowered and gave Buruma an irritated look. She gave him her best apologetic one but it didn't even feel very convincing to her and she started to giggle. "I'm sorry, 'Jiita. I didn't mean to!"

 

He snorted.

 

"Really!"

 

Chichi controlled herself long enough to motion them into the house before she erupted into giggles again. "Goku! Come look at this!" she screamed up the stairs.

 

Vejiita crossed his arms over his chest in irritation. He glowered at his mate again and she joined her friend in her giggles. A few seconds later, Goku walked down the stairs, looking around curiously. When he spotted the couple, he blinked. Twice. He took in their outfits and a grin appeared on his face. "You two match!"

 

Vejiita growled.

 

"Piccolo! Gohan! You guys have got to come see this!" Goku hollered.

 

Both the Namek and the young demi-Saiyajin appeared moments later. They looked questioningly at Goku, who pointed at the newly mated pair. Vejiita glowered at the room, while Buruma did her best to stifle her giggles, unsuccessfully.

 

"You two match!" Gohan exclaimed in shock and Piccolo blinked as he realized that they did indeed match. Gohan giggled right along with his parents and Buruma, and Piccolo's only reaction was a slight lift of his lips, but his amusement wasn't missed.

 

"Enough!" Vejiita snarled angrily. His ki had risen with his anger, but that didn't stop his rival from giggling at him. It just made it worse. Vejiita threw a glare at his mate.

 

She held up her hands. "I'm sorry! I said it was an accident. I forgot you'd probably be wearing the same thing too. It's all my fault," she told the others.

 

"I think it's so cute!" Goku exclaimed and his wife nodded enthusiastically at that statement.

 

"Me, too!" Gohan piped up.

 

Vejiita growled loudly. "Enough. Kakarotto, I still owe you."

 

"Yeah, let's go!" Goku agreed excitedly.

 

"I don't want the Namek to train the Onna."

 

The other Saiyajin blinked. "Why not?"

 

"I don't want another male training her. She can train with your loud female, but not with another male."

 

Piccolo gave him a look. "In case you didn't know, I'm asexual."

 

Vejiita was actually at a loss for words for a moment as he thought about this, then glowered again. "No, I didn't know. But you are male. You sound like a male, look like a male, and act like a male."

 

Chichi giggled. "Stop being so... possessive, Vejiita!"

 

Vejiita moved his glare from the Namek to the human mate of his rival. "I am not being possessive. It is just not right to have another male train your mate!"

 

Goku cocked his head. "Then who trained the Saiyajin females? Did they just wait until they were mated to learn to fight?"

 

Vejiita chuckled. "Of course not. A Saiyajin female was trained by her mother until she was mated. Then the mate would take up training her, if she needed it."

 

"Oh." He paused. "Why?"

 

Vejiita rolled his eyes. "For one, training with a female is... exciting. Especially to us, Kakarotto."

 

Goku suddenly grinned. "You know, I think I understand that one."

 

The Saiyajin no Ouji grimaced. "I don't see how with your mate," he said arrogantly.

 

"Well, you and I will go spar, Piccolo can take some time with Gohan, and Chichi and Buruma can spar," Goku put in quickly before his wife decided to blow up at the smaller warrior.

 

"Fine."

 

Goku smiled. "Buruma, can I talk to you for a moment?"

 

The blue-haired woman blinked and nodded. "Sure, Son-kun."

 

He motioned her into the kitchen with him, and she followed. Although Vejiita didn't say anything or give an outward reaction, Buruma felt he was... bothered by it. She shrugged mentally and looked curiously at her best friend.

 

"I want to apologize again for yesterday, Buruma. You were right. I had no right to do that, especially using you like that. I had no right to use you against him; I thought about that last night. He's kind of... emotionally stunted and using the one person he cares for against him is just cruel."

 

Buruma smiled warmly at her friend's guilty face. He felt horrible about it and Buruma couldn't find it in her heart to stay mad at the gentle warrior. "Apology accepted, Son-kun. I'm okay. And it did get Vejiita to ascend, just as he always wanted."

 

Goku smiled widely in relief. "Thanks, Buruma. I expect he'll want to go all out today during our sparring match. You and Chichi had best be prepared for some injured husbands. He's angry with me for doing that. Not because of what I did to him, but what I did to you."

 

"We're not exactly married, Son-kun." She smiled and glanced towards the direction of the living room. "I guess he really does care," she murmured.

 

Goku put his hand on her arm, causing her to look at him curiously. "He cares more than even he realizes, Buruma. He may never say it, but he cares about you."

 

Buruma hugged her friend. "Thank you."

 

"Any time," the large Saiyajin said, returning the hug.

 

Pulling away, Buruma looked up at her friend, a small frown on her face. "Do you really mean it? I mean about you and Vejiita going all out today? And the injured part."

 

Goku nodded. "Definitely."

 

"Then I'm taking Chichi and we'll train at Capsule Corporation, because we have more medical equipment there. You can teleport yourselves there after your sparring."

 

"Sounds good. Be careful, though."

 

Rolling her eyes, she turned to return to the living room. "I'm an adult, Son-kun."

 

"I know, but... Galan is still around."

 

She sighed. "Okay, okay. I'll be careful."

 

"Thanks." They both headed back into the living room to rejoin the group. Goku looked at his wife. "Buruma said that she wants to train at Capsule Corporation today with you, so Vejiita and I will just meet you there after the match."

 

Chichi frowned and looked at her husband searchingly before turning her dark eyes to her blue-haired friend. "Okay, I guess..."

 

Vejiita growled lightly, but didn't argue. He padded up behind Buruma as Piccolo and Gohan left. He didn't touch her, not in front of the others. She figured it was a stretch for him to be affectionate at all, let alone public displays of it. She knew he was relieved that she let him have that, and didn't try to initiate contact either. "Onna."

 

"Yeah?" she answered, turning to look at him.

 

"Careful. Galan-"

 

"I know. Son-kun already told me to be careful. I will."

 

He growled something under his breath before he smirked suddenly. "Although, with how much you've improved you could probably beat the weakling."

 

She smiled proudly. "Thanks."

 

He grunted and glanced at his rival who was giving his wife a suffering look as she nagged at him. "Thank Kami I mated you and not her."

 

Buruma nearly gaped in surprise. He just gave her a compliment, twice! He just told her he preferred her to Chichi, which was good because the other woman was married, but still! She gave him a quick grin. "Yeah, I don't yell at you because of training and the education of our son. I just yell at you."

 

He smirked. "Definitely." His smirk faded and he glanced at his rival and his mate quickly before he leaned down and kissed her soundly, but swiftly. "Careful," he said quietly before pulling away. "Make sure dinner is ready when I get home."

 

"Gah! Vejiita, you insensitive bastard!" she screeched.

 

The other two occupants turned to look at the couple. Vejiita just smirked.

 

"I'm training, too!"

 

He shook his head in amusement. "Then order pizza, stupid Onna," he stated, walking towards his rival. "Kakarotto. Now."

 

Goku nodded and kissed his wife's cheek quickly before grabbing Vejiita's shoulder, which irritated the smaller warrior. He put two fingers to his forehead and they both disappeared a moment later.

 

Buruma glanced at Chichi and shrugged. "Car or fly?"

 

Chichi sighed. "Fly. Maybe work on that for the first part. You and I aren't that fast yet."

 

Buruma rolled her eyes. "I know. Vejiita was kind enough to point that out. Let's go."

Buruma and Chichi were flat on their backs on the lawn at Capsule Corporation hours later. Both were panting softly, a thin layer of sweat covering their skin. Each of them was beginning to sport some nasty bruises on their arms and legs. Chichi had a nasty gash on her head and Buruma's exposed stomach was purple.

 

Buruma groaned. "I need to call for pizza..."

 

Chichi copied her groan. "I'd do it for you... but I can't move."

 

"Me either."

 

A long silence followed, broken only by the heavy breathing of the two females on the grass. A small snap startled the females and both sat up to look behind them. Buruma rose to her feet hastily, if a bit stiffly. Chichi followed suit a moment later. "What do you want?" Buruma asked calmly.

 

The one called Galan smiled. "I apologize for interrupting you."

 

Buruma shrugged and looked pointedly at the two males beside him. "Who are they, Galan?"

 

The shortest man smiled, his red eyes gleaming at the two exhausted females. His bright crimson hair flowing wildly around his face, falling just passed his shoulders. His ears were slightly pointed and when he smiled at her like that, Buruma could definitely see a set of fangs. He bowed mockingly before he spoke. "I am Cherry."

 

The largest one, who appeared to be a giant to the two short females, smirked at them. His skin was the color of lime, as were his cat-like eyes. His hair was white and was held back in a tight tail. He also bowed before introducing himself. "I'm Kiwi."

 

Buruma nodded. "I see. What do you want, Galan?"

 

"Well, I told you we were still after you... I can't believe Vejiita wasn't more careful with his... mate."

 

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well, I highly doubt I could have put up with his constant hovering should he have chosen to do that. He didn't. But I fight, too."

 

Galan nodded. "I see that. We were watching."

 

Chichi glared at the men. "Perverts!"

 

Buruma blinked and looked at her friend. "Um... it wasn't like they were watching us shower, Chi."

 

She flushed slightly. "I suppose you're right. But Saiyajin-"

 

"Um, hello? Chichi, we need to focus here!"

 

She grinned. "Sorry," she said, and turned to look at the three men. She then moved in front of her friend, despite the fact that over the past couple of months, Buruma had slightly surpassed the dark-haired woman. "Well, I suppose we have to fight then, hm?"

 

"We don't want you, Chichi. It would be best if you just let us take her. I'd hate to have Son Goku angry at us for killing his mate."

 

Chichi rolled her eyes and crouched in a defensive stance. "Try me."

 

Galan sighed, almost regretfully. "Cherry."

 

The redhead nodded happily and before the two women knew it, he disappeared. Seconds later, he appeared in front of a startled Chichi, backhanding her into the side of the building, her head hitting the wall with a sickening thud. She didn't get up.

 

Buruma growled suddenly. The three men glanced at her in surprise. Her eyes were on the still form of her best friend's wife. But she began to glow. A golden light surrounded her, and she turned her snapping eyes to the one called Cherry. She growled again, ki snapping around her wildly.

Goku blinked as Vejiita fell from the sky, his hair losing its golden color, his eyes fading to black. The larger Saiyajin disappeared and then reappeared below the falling Saiyajin, catching him before he could impact the ground. "Vejiita!"

 

The Saiyajin no Ouji blinked and pulled out of Goku's arms violently. He landed with a soft thud onto the bare earth. He frowned suddenly.

 

"What's wrong? What happened?"

 

Vejiita stood up and cursed. "Fuck!"

 

"What happened?" Goku demanded worriedly.

 

"My ki was drained."

 

"What?"

 

"You heard me!" he snapped. "Damn near my entire power was just drained!"

 

"All of it is gone?"

 

He scowled and attempted to power up. "Damn it! It just keeps getting drained!"

 

"How?"

 

Vejiita looked up into the sky. "I have no idea."

Cherry smirked and disappeared again, but Buruma wasn't where he thought she was when he reappeared, a few feet away from where she had moved. She screamed and a large ki ball appeared in her hands and she threw it at the warrior. The redhead smirked and stood still, waiting for it to hit him. He didn't expect it to even hurt him, as he measured her ki while she was training with Chichi.

 

It hit him straight in the chest and came out the other side, leaving a gaping hole in his chest. His face was set in a surprised expression as he fell back onto the ground, dead before he even hit the lawn.

 

Galan and Kiwi gaped at the human woman who had killed their comrade. Buruma suddenly fell to the ground moments later, unconscious.

Goku watched his fellow warrior worriedly. Vejiita was pacing in front of the larger Saiyajin angrily, his fists clenched. Suddenly, he erupted with a golden light and he was a Super Saiyajin again.

 

Vejiita blinked and scowled.

 

"Your ki just stopped being drained?"

 

Vejiita nodded. He looked towards the setting sun. "Let's get back, Kakarotto."

"There's no way," the green man whispered awed. "Did you feel that?"

 

Galan nodded. "She should not have been able to do that... She's weak compared to Cherry! Her power level was only a thousand at the very highest during her training. Yet, she displayed a ki equal to a Saiyajin, abet a weak Saiyajin! She's human! It's impossible!"

 

"Let's just take her now, while she's out cold."

 

Galan nodded and walked over to the woman, picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder. He glanced at Kiwi. "Aaloka will not be pleased."

 

The green man grimaced. "Let's just get out of here before the Saiyajin returns."

 

Galan nodded, levitating slowly into the air. Kiwi followed his example and soon they disappeared. All that was left was the unconscious Chichi, slumped against the building, and the red-haired warrior with a large crimson puddle beneath him and a gaping hole in his chest.

AN: That was a bit weird for me... But... no worries! You'll find out more next chapter! Especially about Buruma's little... power display.

 

Lovies!!
