<o0@0o>
"FINE! SEE IF I CARE!!!!" Artemis yelled furiously. She turned on her heels and stormed away from her 'mother'. Vegeta went to grab her arm and stop her from leaving, but he wasn't quite quick enough for his lithe little daughter and she slammed the heavy oak door in his face.
Vegeta stood and gawked at the door Artemis had just strode out of before regaining his composure and storming out of the opposite door in a manner eerily like that of his 14 year old daughter's.
...I feel like I wanna smack somebody
Turn around and bitch slap somebody (bitch)
But I ain't goin' out bro (no, no, no)
I ain't givin' into it (no, no, no)
Anxieties bash my mind in
Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
But I ain't fallin' down bro (no, no, no)
I won't lose control bro (no, no, no)...
Artemis flung a leg over the sleek, black motorbike, slammed her foot on the exhaust and sighed before starting off in the direction of the local pub.
She hated arguing, especially with Vegeta. One of the reasons for that was that she simply didn't know how he was going to react when she next saw him. Sometimes he was cool about, sometimes he was apologetic and sometimes he was angrier than he was when she stormed off in the first place. It freaked her out, not being able to read his reaction.
God, she needed a punch up, something to calm her down. She needed to hurt something and the best place to do that was a bar.
... Shackle and chained
My soul feels stained
I can't explain got an ich on my brain
Lately my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
My bloods boiling its beatin' out propaine
My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane
In the rain and I'm might just hydroplane...
Vegeta slumped down on the wet ground once he was outside, rain pounding on his bent head and shoulders. How did everything go so haywire. He couldn't remember what had changed his little Artemis like this. He could remember a time when she was little when half of her waking life was spent in his arms and the other half with her arms wrapped tightly around his waist.
But now every time they talked they ended up yelling and screaming at each other. Sometimes he seemed to lose all rational thought and would raise a hand to hit her. He shuddered, he hated times like that. He'd only ever hit her once and had felt so bad afterwards that he had despised himself for at least a week and a half. That had been when she got her first tattoo. She really did make his blood boil, and sometimes he just felt like he was losing control.
He was slipping back, fighting a losing battle where he did not know the outcome.
... I don't fear none of my enemies...
Artemis sent another young man smashing through the wall of the bar, at least in a case like this she knew the outcome. In a fight she couldn't help but win.
... And I don't fear bullets from oozies...
Another man, this one older than the last, pulled out a gun. Artemis sent out a blast of magic from the palm of her hand, disposing of him quickly. Guns are weak.
... I've been dealing with something thats worse than these...
Vegeta knew his daughter would be in a bar somewhere, kicking the hell out of some unfortunate guys, all of which were probably wasted and reckoned that they had a shot at beating the young princess. He laughed to himself at the thought. He had never taught Artemis to fight like he had her brothers, she was rash and had an amazingly short temper, he knew that she could be a danger to herself and others if she was trained, and he didn't want his family getting harmed, the teenage demi could still kick some serious butt if she was in a mood.
He wasn't worried about her getting hurt though, he knew she wouldn't. Not in a battle anyway. Somethings are more dangerous than combat, and Vegeta was sure that his daughter had been dealing with at least one of these, just as he had been.
... That'll make you fall to your knees and thats the
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety...
Artemis walked, contentedly from the ruined bar. ::That's the third bar fight i've been in in two days.:: she mused to her self. The innocent thought brought back a-not-so-innocent reality. She had to go home sometime. No! No she could not go home yet. She could not stand going through that pain again, besides her pride wouldn't allow her to face him, not until she was well and thoroughly wasted leastways.
Yet again she began to make her way towards the house of her alcoholic best friend, Lyn, she was sure to have booze. Pity she didn't smoke, Artemis could really do with a cigarette right now.
God she wished she knew how her 'mother' would react.
... The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety...
Vegeta felt like he was going crazy waiting for his daughter to return from which ever pub she was wreaking destruction on this evening. He felt like he was being ripped in two, the sane part trying to make the mad half cool down. That was the worst thing about their arguments. He never knew which half of is subconscious would win the inner fight. That put a lot of suspense on his daughters return. More and more often nowadays the mad half seemed to win and that hurt them both a lot.
... My head keeps running away my brother
The only thing making me stay my brother
But I won't give into it bro (no, no, no)
Gotta get myself back now...
Artemis sat cross legged on her best friends bed, Lyn uncorked two more bottles of booze. The 14 year old princess took hers and downed the entire bottle in one breath.
"Sheesh, Artemis. That was quick. Do you want another bottle?"
"Yah." she answered drowsily, her head spinning from the sudden intake of alcohol. Lyn passed her another bottle silently. They both knew that the situation with Artemis and Vegeta was getting worse.
"Art, why do you drink so much, you know that your mum only gets more cross if you come home wasted?"
"It makes my senses runaway." Artemis answered, her words beginning to slur very slightly. It's the only way I can go home. I know that this way his anger and his happiness won't hurt me as much."
"You shouldn't give in like this Art chan, you need to get yourself back on your feet babe."
"I know!" She exclaimed, her tone slick with disgust and self-loathing. "I hate giving into this, but it's the only way." she sighed wearily. "It's the only way."
... God, I can't let my mind be
Tell my enemy is my own
Gots to find my inner wealth
Gots to hold up my thoughts
I can't get caught (no, no, no)
I can't give into it now (no, no, no)...
Vegeta gasped as he sought out his daughters ki, only to find it more blurred and weaker than it had been in a long time. ::God!:: He yelled at himself ::get under control Vegeta:: he instructed himself knowing that if she came home like this then that would be enough to tip his fury and insanity over the edge. ::get under control:: he demanded of himself, viciously battling the enemy in his mind, the enemy in all his thoughts, the enemy that was part of himself. Determined to overthrow it
... Emotions are trapped set on lock
Got my brain stuck goin through the motions
Only I know what's up
I'm filled up with pain...
Artemis rose into the air supported by shaky wings. Lyn had let her put her motorbike in her garage as she was too drunk to drive it safely home.
The alcohol had succeeded in numbing her senses and emotions so that all she knew anymore was that in the condition she was in then when she got home there was going to pain.
... Tryin' to gain my sanity
Everywhere I turn its a dead end infront of me
With nowhere to go gotta shake this anxiety...
Vegeta felt his sanity losing as his daughters wasted ki came ever closer, every sanctuary in his mind had become overrun with anger, he had no where to run, no where left to hide.
... Got me feelin' strange paranoia took over me
And its weighin' me down
And I can't run any longer, yo
Knees to the ground...
Artemis dropped from the air as a sudden rush of paranoia made her wings fail. She landed on the ground and her legs instantly buckled causing her to fall to her knees in the wet mud. Pushing herself back up on her feet, she wiped the rain from her eyes and decided with a sigh to walk the last stretch home.
... I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something thats worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and thats the
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety...
Vegeta pushed himself to his feet as he felt his daughter approach him. He decided to go inside the tample, he didn't want to explode at her in the pouring down of rain, and anyway, it would give him more time to try and sort himself out. With his mind still in battle with itself he prayed one last time that he could put the fear of his waring mind aside and hopefully shake the anxiety.

Artemis prayed that her mothers mood would be good this time. For the last couple of weeks she'd had no such. Hurt filled her to the brim but curiosity pushed her forwards towards the temple determined to put her mind at rest.
... The sane and the insane rivalry...
The temple came into Artemis' view.
... Paranoia's brought me to my knees...
Vegeta watched as the doorknob slowly began to turn.
... Lord please please please...
"Please Lord..." they each whispered to themselves.
... Take away my anxiety...
The door opened.
