is so easy. He’s straight out of a british
sitcom (reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket, excuse me, “Bouquet”.) We haven’t seen
the last of Darkness Girl, either.

Kit-kit: thank you, you’re too kind ^^

Ulforce Diizoid:
thank you for reading; it gets better, I hope.

In this chapter: Shiso and class=SpellE>Videl hatch a plan to get Mirai’s
attention.

Chapter 10: Saiyans Gone Wild

***

     class=SpellE>Videl checked the address on her notepad and walked up to
the pod house. This one was painted in blue and orange wavy stripes and purple
dots, along with the popular motif of furry yellow comets. The latter
apparently represented Kakarott’s highest
transformation; people were using it as a good luck charm, of all things. She
rapped on the door.

     A young class=SpellE>Saiyan woman opened it. “What do you – hey, you’re Prince class=SpellE>Gohan’s mate, aren’t you? Uh, Video?”

     class=GramE>“Videl. And you’re class=SpellE>Shiso, right?”

     class=GramE>“Yeah. Uh, come in. What can I do for you? class=GramE>Unless you want me to stay away from Mirai,
that is.”

      class=GramE>“Quite the opposite.” Videl looked
around the pod; Shiso lived by herself, and
housekeeping style was always worth considering in a potential in-law. She
liked what she saw. Neither a pigsty nor obsessively clean, the floor was navigable,
and the pile of dishes was in the dishrack, not the
sink. “Actually, I was going to invite you for some training.”

      “And what kind
of training does a Royal Mate offer the Prince’s suitor?”

     class=SpellE>Videl pulled the plastic case from her bag and plunked it
on the table. “This. It’s Mirai’s favorite game in
the whole wide world.”

     “Is it class=GramE>now.” Shiso tilted her head. “Why
are you helping me?”

     “I like you. If
you’ve managed to get as far with Mirai as you have,
that’s good enough for me. You’re one of us already. We just need to convince style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>him of that.”

     “Okay … my game
system’s in the loft. Let me grab some snacks.” They climbed up, class=GramE>then Videl set up the game and
walked Shiso through the first few rounds. Soon she
was pounding buttons like a veteran. “So you really think I have a chance with
him?”

     class=GramE>“Better than a chance. I’m amazed he even gives you the time
of day. He’s usually not so open with people.”

     “He said
something about a rough childhood.” Shiso’s avatar
did a spin kick that launched Videl’s character off
the side of the screen.

     “You don’t know
the half of it. Let’s change characters; I’ll play Kinomi,
that’s his favorite.”

     class=GramE>“Right.” They played a while longer as Shiso
got the feel of the game. Videl had to admit she had
quick fingers and a quick mind to go with them. Drop kick, spin kick, uppercut,
jump attack – “Crap, how’d you do that? That’s the
kind of stunt Mirai would pull on the dance floor!”

      “class=SpellE>Mirai likes to dance?” Shiso hit
a key and her avatar punched Videl’s avatar on the
chin, sending it backwards onto its rear.

      class=GramE>“All the time.” Videl tapped a
dozen keys in sequence and her character responded with a double roundhouse
kick to the gut. “He’s out two or three times a week.”

      “I have an
idea.”

     class=SpellE>Mirai pulled on his leather jacket as he walked down the
stairs, heading out for another evening at the nightclubs. This time he had on
deep purple jeans, a darker shade of his fur color, and a silver shirt
patterned with dragons. To accent his tail, he’d hung a silver medallion around
its base. Many of his family members were out and about tonight; class=SpellE>Bulma was out at a corporate benefit dinner, and the class=SpellE>chibies were at baseball at the local shapeshifting
children’s club. Accomplished outfielders, apparently.
He also felt his (Saiyan) grandfather approaching the
house on foot, but when he opened the door, he had to stop and stare. Vegeta-class=SpellE>jii was wearing: two-toned shoes, knee socks, baggy plaid
pants, a mustard-colored polo shirt, his cape and a green plastic visor.

     “What the fuck?”

     The ex-king drew
himself straight. “Dr. Briefs has introduced me to a most interesting game of
skill. I have determined that this is the proper attire for the activity.”

     “Well, yeah, but
…” Mirai looked him up and down. “You still look like
a dork.”

     “And you look
like a man-harlot. Can you not attract females some other way?”

     “At least I can
attract girls. Good luck with that, gramps.” He stepped around the old man and
out, leaving him snarling on the doorstep.

     He ran into class=SpellE>Gohan on the way to the club. He was flying with his red class=SpellE>trenchcoat fluttering in his wake. “Where’s class=SpellE>Videl?”

     “She said she was
bringing a girlfriend. This might be her last night out before the baby’s born.
She has the cutest maternity Lolita outfit though.”

   style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  “That’s a new style for her. And why didn’t
you make that coat your Great Saiyaman costume?”

     “It wasn’t
compatible with the capsule system, curse the luck.” They landed about a block
from the rest of the club and walked the rest of the way; though it was early,
there was already a fair crowd. The staff had held their usual table
overlooking the dance floor. “Looks like there are perks to
being revealed as royalty. Are you going to move to Vegetasei?”

      “I go where our
dads go.” The club was rather dark tonight; he could barely make out people’s
outlines. “And I’ll probably build a club there. Are you going to grow your
tail back?”

     “I went in for
the treatment, but nothing’s happened yet.” They continued to make small talk;
about half an hour later, Mirai sensed class=SpellE>Videl’s ki, but he couldn’t see
her. Nor could he see who she’d brought with her, although the class=SpellE>ki was vaguely familiar. The music slowly faded and a new
song began.

style='mso-spacerun:yes'>     remembering me

     discover and see

     all over the world

     she’s known as a girl

Suddenly spotlights stabbed down on the dance floor,
revealing two figures: Videl and … class=SpellE>Shiso! The Saiyan girl swayed
gently, her tail swinging in time with the music.

style='mso-spacerun:yes'>     to those who are free

     the mind shall be key

     forgotten as the past

     cause history will last

     class=SpellE>Mirai’s mouth fell open and he leaned across the table. class=SpellE>Shiso was clad in a gold halter top, black vinyl shorts
with gold studs, and knee-high gold boots. A hand skimmed her side from breast
to thigh, pointing out how much skin she was showing. After that she trailed
her other hand slowly though her hair as she threw her head back. class=SpellE>Mirai’s eyes went straight to the line of her throat. style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Damn, if she were in grabbing distance, I’d
give her a hickey the size of a coaster …

     class=SpellE>Videl was wearing a silver confection of lace and satin, a
layered skirt that went over her stomach and a top with puffed bows on each
sleeve. She and Shiso swirled around each other in
unison, displaying every angle to their audience. Trailing fingers – tracing a
subtle neckline, the curve of a breast – highlighted each exquisite feature in
turn. Proudly, blatantly showing off their bodies, but they
seemed oblivious to anything but the music.

     class=GramE>Holy crap. class=SpellE>Mirai was about to fall out of his chair. class=SpellE>Shiso was hot most of the time, but this – he had to have
her. She was drop-dead, drool on the table, fight your
rivals in the street sexy. He had mocked that behavior in others, but … other
eyes in the club were on her, and as soon as he noticed, his tail puffed out
like a bottle brush and his lips drew into a snarl.

     class=SpellE>Mirai heard a soft tearing sound. He glanced aside and saw
that a tail had just sprouted from Gohan’s backside.
The other Demi was staring at his mate, growling
softly; Mirai could just guess what would happen as
soon as those two were alone. The music ended and darkness covered the dance
floor again. He lost sight of the girls, only to have them reappear right
beside the table. Gohan already had his arms around class=SpellE>Videl. “I am going to fuck you so hard Pan will wonder what
the earthquake was.”

     class=SpellE>Videl giggled and grabbed his tail. “Ooh. Is this for me?”

    “class=SpellE>Hrrrrr … let’s go somewhere so you can style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>unwrap it.”

    “There’s a hotel
right next door, you know.”

    Meanwhile, class=SpellE>Mirai had pounced on Shiso and
was licking up and down the side of her neck. “Are you out of your mind?” she
asked.

    “Yeah.
Completely.”

    “Good. Let’s go
check out this hotel.”
