PLEASE READ THIS:
 
Is this chapter moving to fast? (Too slow…too mushy? Too many
semi-sexual scenes?) Does this story make sense, because it has a
plot…somewhere, it really does!? Please tell me if I should slow
this down, and for anyone is wondering, the girl's (Bra's) feelings

CHAPTER THREE:LET THE RAIN FALL DOWN
 
 
 
 
 
Bra dodged kick after kick, but even after nearly an hour of constant
observation she could still find no available weakness in her opponent.
She quickly brushed the loose strands of aqua hair from her face, her
damned pony-tail was coming apart and there wasn't a thing she could
do about it!
 
 
Needing a quick breather she shot upwards in the sky towards the sun,
but much to her dismay her attacker followed, intent on finishing what
they had started. Bra knew that her father was disappointed with her
lack of focus; know doubt that she would probably be spending a lot
of time the Gravity Room for the next few days. It wasn't her fault; it
was just that her heart wasn't in it right now; in fact it was most likely
back in her lab where she had last left it.
 
 
Doing a quick spin in the air, she let loose a rapid fire of punches, left
hooks, and kicks. She managed to land all but a few hits, but the man
in front of her wasn't fazed in the least. He was too strong; her father
had known that before he had even paired the two of them together.
 
 
He knew her every move, memorized every spin and flip, and every mistake.
His skills had improved and now it was time to show off by beating royalty,
the asshole. Bra repeated the steps in her mind as though it was some sort of
a special chant:
 
 
Hook, right, left; Right jab, twist; Block, block, jab; twist and jab; kick,
 
dodge, kick;
 
 
“Oomph!” Was the only sound that came out of her mouth when she
was knocked backwards by a well-placed round-house kick in the stomach.
 
 
“Is that the best you've got kid?” The dark-haired man taunted with a smile.
 
 
Bra remained silent and instead flew as fast as she could away from the
expectant crowd of spectators. This man knew every move she was
going to make before she even made it, and now it was time for a serious
change of scenery. She and her friends had spent much of their time
growing up and playing in forests like these, and she had won nearly
every game of Hide-and-Seek that they had played.
 
 
`He may be good up in the sky where things are clear, but let's see how
long he lasts on land…'
 
 
This was actually fun kind of fun now that she thought about it. She kept
going, partially afraid to look behind her for fear of what, or who she
might see.
 
 
Her senses were on full alert when she heard the sound of footsteps and
the snapping of twigs behind her. Her once semi-bright smile became
grim as she jumped over a large, protruding tree root, barely missing
twisting her ankle. She was running away like a coward, like a little girl
who was too afraid to stand up for herself. All she needed to do
was clear her head and re-group, and then, and only then would
she be able to face her attacker.
 
 
Fifteen minutes passed by, and by then she was almost sure the
pounding of boots were no longer behind her.
 
 
(Deep Breath)
 
 
Goten had been way more aggressive than usual when they had been
sparring, especially over the period of the passed few weeks. Heck, he'd
been more aggressive than usual period, and she'd been the only one
who noticed any change in his behavior. Now they were playing a freakish
game of “Cat and Mouse”, which wasn't fun in the least. She jumped a
stream with relative ease, barely glancing at her own disheveled reflection.
 
 
Bra had never once run away from anything in her life. When her best
friends had believed that there were monsters in their closets and that the
Boogey Man resided under their beds; it had been she who had calmly
shown them that they didn't exist, nor would they be gobbled up by
them if they were bad like their parents had claimed.
 
 
A bitter chuckle passed her lips as she thought of the predicament she
was in now, and how she had run away like a…like a… a girl. Well there
wasn't going to be anymore running now, she was going to stand up to
Goten Son, and if he happened to beat the *shit* out of her then well…
she'd cross that bridge when it broke.
 
 
Sighing, she laid her wild aqua hair against a rock wall, needing to slow
down her breathing before she began to hyperventilate or something worse.
She allowed her full body to rest against the rock, and closed her eyes as she
began to work on regaining her lost confidence.
 
 
:: TEN MINUTES LATER ::
 
 
Bra's eyes shot open at the sound a twig snapping, putting her head on
the swivel. She calmed slightly when she couldn't feel any person's Ki
around her. Everything had gone eerily quiet though, the bees were no
longer buzzing, and the birds that had once filled the sky now seemed
scarce, as though they had known that something was coming,
something powerful. The once blue sky was now rumbling
threateningly overhead, seemingly shouting to all that a summer
storm was fast approaching…
 
 
 
 
:: BACK AT THE BRIEFS' SUMMER HOUSE: TRAINING FACILITY ::
 
 
 
 
Serena danced around anxiously as she waited for her friend and her
opponent to return from their session. It was going to be her turn next
and she just wanted to get it over with so that she could go inside and
lock herself in her room. She tried to tell herself that she wasn't hiding
like a coward, but that she was simply avoiding him, nothing more.
 
 
Glancing over to a the large oak tree that had made its home in the middle
of the training grounds, she saw him laughing with his best friend, Gohan.
Her cheeks flushed red with a mixture of anger and embarrassment when
she realized that Trunks was probably telling his best friend about the
bathroom scene which had occurred only a week ago and about their
most recent encounter nearly two nights before. Since then she had been
avoiding him like the plague and she had begun bunking with Videl,
who actually seemed happy to have a roommate.
 
 
When Serena had asked her why, her smile had faltered, though only for
the briefest of seconds, before she had simply shrugged her shoulders
and said that it made her feel a little safer was all, even though they
both new that she could kick almost anybody's ass except for…
 
 
A clicking sound could be heard coming from her brain as its wheels began
to turn. Her mouth turned upwards in a sort of half smile, now she knew why
Videl had so eagerly accepted her offer companionship; she was *ahem*
concerned about Gohan, or was at least being very cautious.
 
 
Her smile turned into a frown when she located her raven-haired pal who
was standing next to her boyfriend and looking slightly uncomfortable,
even nervous. Serena's big blue orbs widened suspiciously when she saw the
girl jump as the man next to her wrapped a tanned and muscled arm around
her waist and then give her what looked to be an affectionate squeeze, but
Serena knew better, and so did Videl.
 
 
Gathering up her courage, she began to make her way toward the group of
three, determined to get her friend away from the boys and back to where she
was safe. She wouldn't blush if he brought up anything about there last few
encounters, nor would she avert her eyes for any reason. She would stand
firm and, if it came down to it, she would physically drag her friend away
from them, it wasn't like she would be unwilling anyway…
 
 
On second thought…Serena spun on her heel and jogged into the house,
perhaps the direct approach wasn't always best. She had another idea, a
better one that would involve a lot less bloodshed.
 
 
:: Videl's Point of View ::
 
 
I blushed when I felt myself jump as Gohan slipped his arm around my waist
and began looking around for a friend, any friend. I spotted Serena staring
aimlessly into space, it was obvious that she was thinking deeply about
something.
 
 
The passed couple of days had been…interesting to say the least now that
her blonde friend was bunking with her, for whatever reasons she might have.
But since the “move”, both had slept quite a bit easier at night.
 
 
`Though I'm sure our reasons aren't so different.' I mused to myself.
 
 
`Sure wish I could join her…'
 
 
“Ready to go next Angel?”
 
 
I shook my head, trying my best to clear my cluttered mind before speaking.
 
 
“Was that a yes or a no sweetheart?”
 
 
“Neither, because I'm not going next, Serena over there already volunteered
to go second. Sorry to burst your bubble. `Please! Like I was even the least bit
sorry!'
 
 
“Would you let me go now? Your making me really hot.” `Oh Kami! I cannot
believe I just said that! And now they're laughing at me, what jerks!'
 
 
I winced as his grip on my waist grew tighter.
 
 
“Careful Videl,” Gohan said, his tone filled with warning. “Don't forget to
block your thoughts if you don't want me to hear them.”
 
 
“Then stop listening you ass! Kami, have you heard of invasion of privacy
Gohan? I want you to end this link thingy right now because I can't deal
with this crap anymore. I seriously want you out of mind for good, no more
reading my thoughts or anything else…what is so hard about understanding
that? Are you really that dense you pig? Back off!” At that moment, I shoved
him backwards…and to my surprise, he actually moved!
 
 
I watched silently as his face grew hard and his eyes grew dark, and could feel
my insides turn to ice when he growled menacingly. Now there were three of
them since Tray decided to join the fun. Oh well…heads were going to roll in
a moment.
 
 
Dropping down into a fighting stance, I put one hand out in front of me to
attack and one up to guard my face. The odds obviously weren't in my favor,
but were they ever?
 
 
My throat went dry as he reached out to grab me. I watched it all in slow
motion as Trunks stood up and leaned on the oak, smirking all the while with
his brother standing next him. Now I was definitely in for it, I thought as my
fist shot forward, ready to deck him one good right in the face…
 
 
 
:: Author's POV ::
 
 
Bra pressed herself even closer to the rock wall in a futile attempt to
shield her body from the freezing drops of rain. This was not how she
had planned to spend her vacation. Goten still hadn't found her yet…
maybe she should just fly home, face her impending shame, and ready
herself to spend forty-eight hours in the Gravity Chamber.
 
 
She stepped away from the comfort of her wall, bracing herself for the
cold drops that soak her clothes in a matter of seconds. Water and
everything like that was great and all, but it was different if you were
out because you wanted to be and not because you were stranded.
 
 
The first few drops of water made Bra shiver as they made contact with
her flushed and heated skin. It was a beautiful summer storm, one of the
best she'd seen in a long time, and there would definitely be plenty of
sunshine and maybe even a rainbow once it was over!
 
 
Reaching back to grasp her messy braid she began to undo the twists
before completely removing her blue ribbon from it, letting her hair
fall limply to her shoulders with a wet smack. The water clung to her
clothes, plastering them to her body and giving her the look of a pale
blue water-nymph.
 
 
`If Goten could see me now, she thought to herself smugly, I bet he'd
forget all about sparring. I think I'd be willing to bet money on that one!'
 
 
“You're right bluebird; if I had been here that would have been the last
thing on my mind. I'm glad we agree on that one. Anything else?” Spoke
a voice from seemingly nowhere.
 
 
The water-nymph jumped clear off the ground, completely forgetting
about the freezing rain, or the breeze that had been steadily growing
stronger over that last few minutes. Hadn't she been rid of him!? Hadn't
he flown right passed her hiding spot and even deeper into the forest!?
Or better yet, hadn't she at least kept her Ki down enough to
where he shouldn't have been able to feel it!?
 
“So many questions, and so little time to answer them,” he drawled out
slowly. Goten licked his lips in anticipation as he took in his girl's
thoroughly drenched form.
 
 
“How—how did you find me!? I mean you flew… right passed me…
and… Oh forget it!” She exclaimed both frustrated and confused at
the same time causing her to stomp her foot in a mini-tantrum.
 
 
Bra could feel herself go warm just by looking at her boyfriend. He
looked so sexy, so rugged. His clothes were ripped and torn in random
places, from various tree branches no doubt. The bandanna which had
been holding back his wildly tousled midnight black mane up until now
was sopping wet, allowing a lock of hair to fall over his eyes, giving
him a boyish look. The training Gi he was wearing hugged his body
tightly, showing off his trimmed six pack…But why in the world wasn't
he freezing!?
 
 
“It's getting cold out and it's pouring on top of it, so can we just call it
a tie or something? How bout' a truce Goten, please? We can finish this
another day when we're both a little less wet.”
 
 
Bra watched with baited breath as Goten looked thoughtful for a moment,
and then he simply shrugged his shoulders.
 
 
“Fine by me, but what do I get in return?
 
 
She raised an eyebrow in confusion. “In return for what; for getting the
both of us warm and dry before we get sick?”
 
 
“In return for calling this match, which I obviously won by the way, a tie,
what do I get?” This rain sure as hell doesn't bother me because you see
Bra, I don't like to tie…with anyone…ever. I for one want to finish this
right here…right now. How about you love? He growled out the last part
deep in his throat. He smirked inwardly when he noted that Bra showed no
outward signs of fear…that was why he wanted her so badly. She pretended
that she didn't want him back, but Goten knew better. If the new moon
wasn't affecting her now, then it would be before the next few days were over.
 
 
“Well I don't---”
 
 
He interrupted her without a care. “Don't you just love a good fight darling?”
 
 
“I mean, there's the chase, and that's always good fun…” He trailed off as he
began to circle her with a predatory gleam in his eyes, like those of a vulture
circling his intended victim.
 
 
“Then there's the capture…” Bra paled considerably, unsure of just where
he was taking his pointless ramblings.
 
 
“And then…there's the kill. Personally, that's my favorite part…what about
you?”
 
 
Her breathing became labored as he backed her up into her wall once more.
“Personally, I really like the part where you stop being such a smart-ass and
step aside.” She huffed as she crossed her arms for effect.
 
 
“Wrong answer Bluebird…” He replied softly before advancing upon her…
fully intent on showing her the correct answer…
 
 
The chase had ended, and the hunter had been namedvictorious…and now
it was time to strike while his prey least expected it…
 
She wouldn't be allowed to escape him this time, he would make sure of it…
 
 
:: BACK AT THE TRAINING GROUNDS ::
 
:: Videl's POV ::
 
 
`Now I was definitely in for it, I thought as my fist shot forward, ready to deck
him one good right in the face…'
 
 
`All of the sudden there was a flash of honey-blonde hair, and then a body, and
then…a FACE!? `Holy Shit!'
 
 
`I breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Serena before winking at me slyly
and turning around. Apparently she had everything under control…
was that a plate of cookies in her hand!?'
 
 
:: Author's POV ::
 
 
“Why don't you step out of the way Serena, its not like it's any of your
business.” Tray muttered coolly.
 
 
“Oh, okay, and you're in this because?” She fired back just a coolly
before quickly composing herself. She watched triumphantly as he
shrugged in response and looked away. `Ha! Serves him right!'
 
 
“Look, we shouldn't be arguing right now, c'mon guys this is our
summer vacation after all. Whaddya say guys?” She asked as she
looked at Gohan and Tray, completely skipping over Trunks, which
he didn't fail to notice.
 
 
“How about we discuss this over a big plate of…chocolate chip cookies?”
And with that, she whipped the rather large plate from behind her back
and held it out, her eyes shining with hope.
 
 
Trunks saw the opening he had and took it without a second thought,
but not before wiping the bit of drool that was making its way down
his chin. “Back to begging again are we?”
 
 
Serena's fingertips turned white as she gripped the plate tightly.
“Who's begging?” She ground out coldly. “I was simply making a
peace offering; you don't have to eat any of them if you don't
want to. Sheesh!”
 
 
“Well I had you begging plenty a couple days ago, did you forget that
babe?”
 
 
Serena rolled her eyes in annoyance. Did this guy whom she called her
boyfriend even have a heart!?
 
 
“I wasn't begging Trunks…I…justdidn'twantyoutothrowmeinthewater.”
She finished in one breath, blushing all the while. She tried to laugh it
off, hoping that it would make her less embarrassed.
 
 
…It didn't.
 
 
“Sorry, I don't think we all understood you. Care to try again
Serena?” He asked as he eyed his friend and brother who were
shaking with laughter, barely able to contain themselves.
 
 
“You, she growled angrily, understood perfectly! I was trying,
very hard mind you, to be nice and---”
 
 
“So those were the screams I heard!” Tray rasped out between spurts
of laughter. “I thought someone was dying…either that or…”
 
 
“I---We were not! I had clothes on!” Serena yelled, having been
thoroughly embarrassed in front of her “So-Called” friends.”
He knows I'm not that kind of girl anyways…besides, there's
nothing fantastic down “There” to see anyway.” More laughter
could be heard coming from Gohan and Tray and Videl
snickered behind Serena's back.
 
 
“Somehow, I doubt that you have been anywhere near *there* Serena.”
Gohan interjected smugly still slightly miffed about the interruption
between him and Videl.
 
 
“Oh really, Trunks countered back smoothly, and just how would
you know anyway?”
 
 
“Just an educated guess sweetie!”
 
 
“You mean a hypothesis? That doesn't mean you're right babe, you could
still be proven incorrect.”
 
 
“Whatever…” Videl broke in, having decided to take matters into her
own hands. She snatched the plate of fresh desserts from Serena's small
hands and shoved them into the nearest guy's arms, which happened to be
Trunks'. With that, she ran a hand through her tangled, shoulder length
mass of raven locks before tugging at Serena's arm until she began to
walk in step behind her.
 
 
Trunks grasped Serena's elbow before she could make it more than a few
steps away from him. “Anytime you want to *ahem* prove your hypothesis
wrong come find me. Most of my students claim that I am an excellent
teacher, especially when it comes to the subject of Anatomy.” He finished
the last part with wink a quick grin before letting her go.
 
 
“Sorry, but I don't speak asshole Trunks, try again later.” Serena quipped
tartly before tearing across the grounds in order to catch up with Videl just
as it was starting to rain.
 
 
Both Videl and Serena cringed as they were hit with an onslaught of ice-cold
rain drops. It was getting late, where were Goten and Bra and why hadn't
they showed up yet? They surely must have found each other by now.
 
 
“Do you think you think they're still at each beating the stuffing out of
each other?” Serena questioned weakly as she attempted to warm herself
by wrapping her arms around her body.
 
 
“Put it this way, if they're still fighting then that plate of cookies over
there has remained uneaten.”
 
 
Both girls turned their attention back towards the boys, and sure enough,
there wasn't a single crumb in sight…

Only”? And where in the world is Marron Roshi!? Find out next
