Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Butterfly ❯ Discoveries of Doom ( Chapter 13 )

Butterfly

I didn't see Vegeta for the rest of the day. In fact, no one came by except Raditz. Yay for Raditz! He really is the greatest.

He came about eight in the evening and I have to say that it was the highlight of my day.

Picture the scene. There I was, lying idly in my uncomfortable hospital bed, staring at the clock and counting the slow seconds that were snailing by, when a huge commotion was heard outside my room. I was a little freaked by this. I had just been harassed!

Being my curious self I attempted to peer through my window to see what was happening but it hurt me too much so I laid back again.

A few minutes later I heard a whimper and then something hit the floor. It sounded like a body so I was even more worried by now. I pulled my knees up towards me and ignored the extreme pain of moving my sore body that was now coursing through me.

A dark shape loomed in my door window, but the glass was coloured so I couldn't see who it was.

The silver door handle started to move. It screamed in agony of being so speedily moved but complied with the hand forcing it down.

The door began to swing open and I bit my tongue hard to stop myself from screaming (screaming encourages) and subconsciously began to hold my breath.

I was waiting nervously for the intruder to enter and when he did I gasped in surprise.

It was only Raditz.

I broke out in smiles and he came forward to give me a hug. I had to yelp at him to make him let go. He was squeezing a bit too hard on my torso.

"Raditz… Release me… Too tight…" I wheezed in his ear.

He took a few seconds to respond but then released me and muttered his apologies. Suddenly his face broke into smiles. It was kind of a Goku goofy smile except with a little more class.

"It won't be hurting soon."

I gave him a funny look and raised my eyebrow, imitating Vegeta's eyebrow of doom.

What was he on about now?

In the dark recesses of my twisted mind I secretly wondered if he had been smoking dope again.

What was there that could possibly get rid of my injuries so soon?

"I brought you a present. It'll work miracles for you and you'll be right as rain before you know it."

"And it is…?"

He dug his hand into his pocket and felt around for something. I nearly giggled when I had a passing kinky thought but anyway…

When he had obviously found what he was searching for (the look on his face changed from slightly frustrated to slightly pleased look), he held his hand out to me. On it was a small brown bean shaped thing. What was I supposed to do with it?

I look blankly at the bean and then equally vacantly at Raditz.

"You're supposed to eat it."

I nodded.

It wasn't like I hadn't tried taking mysterious substances into my body before so what did I have to lose?

Nothing.

I took the bean thing and put it in my mouth. It tasted absolutely vile. I ignored the flavour and swallowed it.

The most astonishing feeling came over me. It was like someone was knitting me together. I wanted to giggle but I held in that sensation and bit my lip.

Seconds later, I could feel no pain. I flexed my arms and jiggled around a little to test my body for breaks that might still have remained.

Nothing.

I once again glanced to Raditz and gave a questioning look. My curious side begged to be satiated. I had to ask what that was, so I did.

"It's called a Senzu Bean. One of Goku's <Raditz saw the twitch of my mouth and apologised> friends grows them for healing fighting wounds and so such. They really do works. Scary, huh?"

I nodded, but with the realisation that the doctors now had no real reason to keep me here, I beamed in delight.

Throwing my arms round his thick neck I practically cried my thanks to him.

He always knew how much I hated hospitals and now he had saved me from having to stay in one for weeks on end. How I adored him at that moment!

I grabbed my minimal possessions and grabbed my angel's hand to lead him out of the door, commanding him to give me a lift home.

My doctor who was just coming to do his annoyingly regular check-up stopped me at the door.

He gasped when he saw me out of bed and leaving.

"Get back in bed, young lady! You're still not well!"

I laughed in his face.

"Not a chance old man! I'm fully well thanks very much, and will be leaving now."

He gave me a look that read `in your dreams - you're not escaping that easily'.

To prove my point I patted my ribs and showed him that the hole in my hand had disappeared completely, except for a small patch of slightly off-coloured, pinkish skin.

His eyes widened unbelievably and he mad a move as if to grab my hand and analyse how this could possibly have happened. But let's face it. I wasn't going to let him do that!

I spun on my heel and sprinted away from him and out of the hospital, dragging my saviour behind me. I spotted his flash car from a mile away and quick as lightning sprinted over to it. He was there faster than I could see and seconds later we were speeding down the motorway towards my home.

Upon reaching my destination I jumped out and gave Raditz a small kiss on the cheek. I jumped up the steps and let myself into my empty house. The only sound I could hear was the screeching of tyres as Raditz sped off home.

As usual no one was in.

No one had been in.

And no one was probably going to be in for a while.

My parents hadn't even bothered to find out where I had been. I was nearly beyond the point of caring and it didn't bother me in the least.

I fetched myself a beer and sat down to watch TV.

Five minutes into my incredibly boring viewing, the phone rang.

I picked it up and greeted my contactor.

"It's Raditz. I don't know what to do. There's a dead person in my house and I think its Nappa."
