Chapter nine
Goku came back to the inn with Launch, he was very angry at her action earlier, when he arrived to his room, he threw her inside.
“I can't believe that you actually love Raditz, for god sake, Launch; he killed Tian! You vowed to kill Tian's murdered, but instead of that, you loved him?!” said Goku angrily. Launch said nothing; she looked down and started to cry.
“What's going on here? Why are you shouting Goku?” said Chichi.
“Did Yamcha and Piccolo arrive yet?” asked Goku. Chichi nodded and went to get them. After a few minutes they came to Goku's room.
“What's going on?” said Yamcha
“Did you know what happened to Bulma, Yamcha - sama?” said Goku and Yamcha nodded.
“I was about to kill Vegeta and Raditz, but failed because of her!” Goku pointed at Launch, all of Yamcha, Piccolo and Chichi looked at her confused
“Do you, Yamcha - sama, believe she's in love with Raditz, Tian's murderer?!” said Goku
“WHAT!!?” shouted Piccolo, “you love that bastard! How?!” added Piccolo.
Launch said nothing and kept looking down, suddenly; Yamcha grabbed launch's arms and pushed her to the wall.
“So, you are the one who betrayed us, you told them all the information they need to get us. That's why they knew what was going on the whole time” hissed Yamcha. Launch opened her eyes; she couldn't believe what she heard just now, now they are calling her a traitor.
“NOOOO! I didn't, I said nothing, I don't know what are you talking about Yamcha - sama, I met Raditz three days before, I ~” Launch was cut off by a slap on her face and fell down.
“You just met him three days ago and loved him! You must forget about him, or otherwise, you'll be sorry!” said Yamcha angrily and ordered Goku to lock her in. Goku nodded and did that.
“Goku, do you think Vegeta will survive?” asked Yamcha
“Yes, but only if they have the magical herbs and rest for two days, otherwise, its useless.” Answered Goku. Yamcha smirked and said “then, I think we will take a surprise visit to Oujis, since they are staying here at this town.” And Goku nodded.
“When shall we begin the surprise attack, Yamcha - sama?” asked Piccolo
“Two hours after midnight.” Said Yamcha and they smirked.
Mean time
“We can't travel tomorrow, otherwise, Vegeta would not make it! He needs rest, or his cuts will re-open again.” Said Raditz
“I know that Raditz, but also, we cant stay here, after the Briefs knew that we are staying here!” said Tomma. Juuhachigou was listening to them, then she looked towards Vegeta, who was still unconscious.
“I have a feeling that they will come tonight, we have to do something!” said Raditz.
“There's one thing we can do, but we'll reach the capital late.” Suggested Bardock. They all looked at him and waited to hear his suggestion.
“We can go back to Koren Mountain in the east and find a Sensu beans!” said Bardock.
“You are suggesting to go back near to Ouji Hidden Mountain, for beans?!” said Juuhachigou.
“It's magical beans, and besides, if anyone injured takes it, he will be healed in no time!” said Bardock, “I used to take it every time I got wounded when I fought bears.” Added Bardock.
“Ok then, lets do it. It's better than staying here and waiting for the Briefs!” said Raditz. They all agreed to go immediately and prepared to go back to Koren Mountain.

Anahita and Zarbon went to search for Dabura in the east where he stays.
“Zarbon, what do you think Dabura will ask as a favor to give us the information that we need?” asked Anahita.
“I don't know, but it's a good idea that we brought gold with us.” Answered Zarbon.
“I don't know Zarbon, but I have feelings that he will ask for something else.” Said Anahita.
“We'll know that when we arrive there!” said Zarbon.
Anahita took Nobunaga book from Zarbon and paged it again, she closed the torch from it and tried to read one page “S Som ~ k kul m ma maka~n ~”
“What are you doing, Anahita?” asked Zarbon.
“I'm trying to read this book!” answered Anahita.
“No, don't do it, this book is dangerous, don't read something you don't understand! Maybe something terrible would happen! I heard this book has a curse!” said Zarbon.
“Oh come on Zarbon, do you actually believe that! its just a book, what harm can come from reading one page?!” said Anahita carelessly, and continued reading,
“S Som k kul m ma makaaan, a ~ aay sh shaay yel yelmiss, ye yem yemmoott!” suddenly; a smoke started to appear and went around Anahita then inside her from her mouth. Zarbon fell in horror and watched Anahita, after few seconds; Anahita gasped for air.
“Are you alright? I told you not to read the book!” said Zarbon angrily.
“I'm alright, I think!” said Anahita while checking on herself.
“Lets keep going! I hope nothing bad happened to you.” said Zarbon. Anahita nodded and they continued.
“Tell me Zarbon, do you know why the Briefs and the Oujis hate each other? I mean, I'm from Briefs swastika valley, but I don't know what the reason for all the haters between the two clans is!” said Anahita.
“Yes, I know the reason for their hate, or I think what was the main reason.” Said Zarbon calmly.
“Then what was it?” said Anahita eagerly.
Zarbon was about to tell Anahita the story behind the hate between the two clans but stopped and pointed at a cabin. “I'll tell you some other time, we arrived at Dabura's place!” said Zarbon. Anahita nodded and went with Zarbon to the cabin to meet Dabura. `Soon, I'll avenge you Noora, so you can rest in peace sister!' thought Anahita.
They knocked on the door and waited for a reply, “Whose there?” asked Dabura from inside.
“We are two passengers seeking for information, and we believe that you can help us!” said Anahita, Dabura opened the door and looked at Anahita and Zarbon.
“What information do you need to know?” asked Dabura.
“I'm looking for someone, I want to know where I can find him!” said Anahita.
“I'm afraid that will cost you something!” said Dabura.
“I'll give you what you want, now can you help me?” said Anahita. Dabura nodded and smirked, then let them in.
“Let me guess, you're looking for someone dear to you, right?” said Dabura. Anahita said nothing and sat next to him.
“Ok, tell me, what's his name? And give me something that belongs to him.” Said Dabura.
Anahita told him the name and took out a shirt that belongs to Bardock from her bag and gave it to Dabura, he took the shirt from her and put it beside him. He drew a circle and put five candles. He put the shirt in a bowl and burned it while mumbling a spell. After the shirt burned and turned into ash, he took it and threw it into the middle of the circle, then the ashes gathered together and pointed to a place in the map. “I know where he is now! But first you have to give me my reward!” said Dabura.
“You want gold, I have it, just tell us where he is” said Zarbon.
“Gold, hehehehe, yes why not! But I want something else!” said Dabura and looked at Anahita from head to toes. “I want to see you naked then I want to taste you! It has been very long time since I tasted a woman!” added Dabura while licking his lips. Anahita opened her eyes and stepped back. Zarbon held her, “How dare you ask for such a thing!” said Zarbon angrily. Anahita closed her eyes `with that price, I can find Bardock and avenge my sister, but I will loose my self respect, will, I already lost everything, there is nothing that I will regret!' thought Anahita. “Ok, I'll give you that!” said Anahita. Zarbon stared at Anahita disbelieved.
“You don't have to do this Anahita, we'll find another way!” said Zarbon while holding her shoulders; Anahita looked away “No! I'll do it and that's final!” said Anahita and pushed Zarbon away and went towards Dabura.
She stood in front of him sadly and took her clothes off; Dabura smirked and advanced her, Zarbon looked away sadly.
“Wow! Look at this, I want to taste you girl, come here!” said Dabura and grabbed her, suddenly; he pushed her away!
“There is a spell inside you! Anyone touches you dies!” said Dabura panicky.
“What do you mean, wizard?” asked Zarbon. Dabura observed Nobunaga book in Anahita's bag and pointed at it.
“Did she used that book?” asked Dabura. Anahita looked at the book and nodded. “ I read only one line, but I couldn't understand a word. Why?” said Anahita.
“Damn you, you have a deadly poison inside you, anyone who touches you will die, you'll be unharmed for three days, and the effects will show after that. You have to find the antidote before the three days finish, or you will die slowly, this is your curse for reading that spell!” explained Dabura.
Anahita and Zarbon gasped. “I told you, it's dangerous to read that book, now look what have you done to yourself!” said Zarbon angrily. Anahita closed her eyes and looked at Dabura.
“What is the antidote?” asked Anahita.
“Its not known until now!” answered Dabura.
“Ok, tell me where can I find Bardock? Or I'll simply kiss you!” smirked Anahita.
“No, get away from me! He is near to Koren Mountain; you can find him at dawn. Please leave me alone!” said Dabura panicky. Anahita nodded and got dressed. “Lets go Zarbon, we don't have time to waste!” said Anahita.
“What about you, Anahita! We have to search for an antidote, otherwise you'll die!” said Zarbon.
“Zarbon, I have time, don't worry, first we have to find Bardock. Now lets go!” said Anahita and they went towards Koren Mountain.

“Oboro is telling me that the Briefs are running towards the inn in full speed!” said Tomma.
“After they realize we're not there, they may come after us. We have to protect Vegeta!” shouted Bardock. Vegeta, who was still unconscious, was laying in a wagon, Juuhachigou and Bardock sat next to him. Tomma sat next to Raditz who was driving the wagon and leading the horses.
Goku, Yamcha and Piccolo arrived at the inn; they searched for the Oujis but find no one! “They must have gotten away! But where?” wondered Piccolo.
“Maybe they went to the capital!” said Goku.
“No, nobody is allowed to go before morning!” said Yamcha. He went towards the window and looked through it to see a wheel-print on the ground. “Look! They went to the east!” said Yamcha while pointing at the signs.
“Piccolo, go after them, but don't over do it if you find them. If you have no choice but to fight, then use your special technique and get back to catch us, understood?!” ordered Yamcha and Piccolo nodded.
“Goku! Tell the women to get ready, we'll move in the morning.” Said Yamcha, Goku nodded and went.
`Damn; who's always warning them? Its not Launch, she has been locked in her room from sunset; then who? Think Yamcha, you can get him!' thought Yamcha and then opened his eyes widely. “Its that bird, the owl! That damn bird was there from the beginning! How could I forget about that? Tomma has the power to communicate with animals, Anahita told me that before!” thought Yamcha loud and got angry and went back to his inn.
At dawn, the Oujis arrived to Koren Mountain; Vegeta woke up and looked at them. “What's going on? Where am I?” said Vegeta weakly and tried to rise but was stopped by Juuhachigou.
“Please Vegeta - sama! You have to lay down!” said Juuhachigou. Vegeta did that.
“We are at Koren Mountain Vegeta - sama, to get sensu beans for you.” Said Bardock. “Stay with him, all of you! I'll go and search for the bean myself!” said Bardock.
“Sure, but be careful!” said Tomma.
“I'll be, don't worry!” said Bardock and went to search for the beans.
Piccolo arrived to Koren Mountain, he searched for the Oujis and heard voices, he hid behind a tree and looked towards the source of the voice to find Bardock. He smirked ` I know that Yamcha ordered me to not do anything, but this is an opportunity, hehehe, I'll find the perfect time for my attack!' thought Piccolo and waited behind the tree.
“There! I found it! Ok Vegeta, you are safe now!” thought Bardock loudly. But then he felt that someone is watching him from behind, he put his hands around his sword and prepared to draw it out.
“I know you are there hiding behind a tree, come out and face me!” shouted Bardock. Piccolo opened his eyes and then smirked. He got out from where he was and faced Bardock.
“So, you managed to follow us after all!” said Bardock and drew out his sword.
“Hahahahah! I wonder how you can fight me in darkness!” said Piccolo.
“I can see you buddy! Its not that dark!” said Bardock with smirk.
“We'll see about it!” said Piccolo “darkness to your eyes” mumbled Piccolo and threw his spell to Bardock who lost his sense to see! Bardock stayed still, and held his sword really hard.
“Don't worry, you will see tomorrow, this is temporary! But I'll make sure that you'll not see tomorrow, haaaaaaaaa!” Piccolo attacked Bardock who blocked the attack very easily. He attacked Piccolo and injured him in his arms. `What! How he could do that? How did he know I was standing there? He can't see me! Can he?' thought Piccolo and got angry, he pulled out his spikes and threw them to Bardock, he dodged them except for one. Then in a blink of an eye he attacked Piccolo and cut through him making Piccolo fall down.
“Damn; you got me! Tell me how can you see me? I blinded you with my spell!” said dying Piccolo.
“I practice a lot, and read a lot also, you can say I put a light in my dark ways!” said Bardock sarcastically while pulling out the spike from his arm.
“heheheh, you may have beaten me, but you'll die tomorrow, that spike, its poisoned, it doesn't have an antidote, you'll die very slowly, hehehe” said Piccolo, Bardock got angry and put his sword in Piccolo's throat. Bardock took the beans and was just about to go but stopped, `it cant be! What's she doing her?!' thought Bardock. Anahita saw Bardock and stopped in her place, she held her chest and tears poured down her face. “Bardock!” whispered Anahita. Zarbon saw them and smiled. `So, this is Bardock! Oh girl! I hope you two can make it up!' thought Zarbon.
“What do you want? I thought I told you before that I don't want to see you again!” said Bardock.
“I know, but I want to take my revenge and I thought you can help me!” said Anahita hurt.
“Look mister Bardock! We just want you to read a book! It's actually your book, we took it from your library, I know ~” Zarbon was cut by Bardock while he was talking to him.
“~ and you are her new lover? Oh yeah I forgot, she is a whore after all!” said Bardock sarcastically.
Zarbon got angry and said “Shame on you! I'm like a father to her! She was forced to do that, she sacrificed her ~” he was cut by Anahita.
“Its ok Zarbon, you don't have to explain that to him.” Said Anahita sadly.
“No Anahita, he has to know the truth! Look Bardock! Yamcha was black mailing her, she sacrificed her dignity just to save her sister, her sister was poisoned, and Yamcha had the antidote, he told her to work for him and to be his whore, in return he will save her sister. But he didn't, and that's why we seek for revenge, and you are our hope to get that!” explained Zarbon.
Bardock smiled kindly and turned, he walked towards Anahita and Zarbon until he was in front of her. She looked at him and cried. Bardock pulled her to him and hugged her.
“You can leave her with me. Go now! It's dangerous to stay here! I promise that I will protect her” Bardock told Zarbon.
“Alright, but I'll leave tomorrow.” Said Zarbon and Bardock agreed.
“What happened to your eyes?” asked Anahita while touching Bardock's face. He held her hand and hugged her. “Don't worry! It will be ok by tomorrow!” said Bardock and tried to kiss her on her lips but she got away!
“No! You can't touch me! If you do, you'll die!” cried Anahita. Bardock was calm, “did you read from Nobunaga book?” asked Bardock, and she nodded.
“Don't worry! We'll find the antidote before it takes the effects. I'll break the curse, I promise you!” Said Bardock while hugging her to comfort her.
“But we don't know the antidote for this poison!” said Zarbon.
“Don't worry, I'll find it, even it costs my life, I'll find it!” said Bardock.
“I trust you!” said Anahita.
“First of all, I have to take these beans to Vegeta. And tomorrow when I'll be able to see, I'll read what you want to know and try to find the antidote, now come lets go, they are waiting for us!” said Bardock and held her hand then went to the others.
“He's late! I think its better to go and look for him!” said Juuhachigou and looked towards Vegeta who was now sweating.
“There he is! But wait a minute, there is someone with him!” said Raditz.
“Hey guys! How's Vegeta? Sorry I've been late, I had some trouble, but its ok now!” said Bardock.
He took out the bean from his pocket and put it in Vegeta's mouth.
“Try to eat it Vegeta - sama!” said Bardock and Vegeta did what he was told.
“What is she doing here Bardock? And who is that man?” said Tomma while pointing to Anahita and Zarbon. She went behind Bardock and held his torso.
“Its not your concern, she's with me!” said Bardock.
“But Bardock! She was a spy for them!” said Raditz.
“That's enough! If Bardock sees that she is not a threat to us, then I trust his judgment!” said Vegeta after he got healed by sensu beans.
“You're healed Vegeta - sama!” said Raditz excitedly.
“Yes, I'm fine. Now we are going to rest until sunrises, then we'll go to the capital!” Said Vegeta and they all nodded and agreed.
In the morning, all of them woke up and got ready to go to the capital. They got into the wagon. Raditz was driving the wagon, and lashed the horses to move.
In the inn at Sampu town
“Piccolo didn't come yet, Yamcha - sama! What should we do?” asked Goku.
“We'll go to the capital now! That idiot didn't listen to me, its obvious that he's dead.” Said Yamcha and got the scroll to cross out Piccolo's name. Goku closed his eyes then went to get the women.
“Chichi, we'll go now! How's Bulma?” asked Goku, he was concerned about his lady.
“She's not talking! But she's fine I think!” said Chichi sadly.
Goku sighed and went to get Launch. He unlocked the door and got inside the room.
“Time to go, Launch!” said Goku. Launch was crying, she looked up at Goku with her tired eyes.
“Is Raditz alive?” asked sobbed Launch.
“You're thinking about him! For god sake Launch, wake up! He's our enemy! Look what happened to Bulma, she loved Vegeta to death, and look what he has done to her! He raped her, he crushed her soul! The Oujis are our enemies, you have to understand that!” said Goku while shaking her.
“Just tell me is he alive?” sobbed Launch.
Goku sighed, “Yes, he is.” Answered Goku and Launch covered her eyes with her hands “thank god!” said Launch and got up to go with Goku.
Bulma was walking quietly, tears formatted in her eyes and poured down to her face. `He didn't betray me! I'm the one who betrayed him, he hates me now! That's why he raped me! He hurt me because he was hurt! I cant forgive you Vegeta for what you did to me!' thought Bulma and cried. Chichi held her and pitied her. All of them went by road towards the capital and the Oujis was a day behind them.
Anahita was holding Bardock's arms; he still cant see because of the spell. She looked towards Zarbon, who will take off in the next town.
“Zarbon! You didn't tell me what was the reason for the hate between Oujis and Briefs?!” said Anahita. All of them looked towards Zarbon and waited for the answer.
“Don't tell me that nobody here knows the reason behind the hate between the two clans!” said wondered Zarbon.
“All we know is that it was something between old Vegeta - sama, and Aclon.” Said Bardock.
“You're right, Bardock! Now let me tell you the story from the beginning.” Said Zarbon.
End of chapter 9. ok what do you think was the reason behind the hate between the two clans? Well you have to wait until the next chapter to know that :p
Please review and tell me what you think! Thanx a lot.
Love you all,
Angel.
