Chapter 6:

Max walked in to the house looking for Destiny. He didn't see her putting up a fight when Vegeta was kissing her and he wanted to know what the hell was going on.

When Max walked in to her room he found no one, so he went to Laura's room. Again, no one was there. He looked all over the house, until he decided to ask Bulma.

He found her in her lab working on the computer. "Hey Bulma, have you seen Destiny or Laura."

Bulma turned to him, wondering if she should tell him where they went. "I don't know they said they had to get out of the house for a while. They said they would be back latter and to tell you not to worry."

Max slammed his fist in to the wall making a hole. "God damnit! I'm going out, I need a drink. Tell them when they get home I want Destiny to wait up for me. I want to talk to her. Ok?" He said in an angry voice, before slamming the door, not even waiting for an answer.

Bulma looked a the door he just slammed and back at the computer. :: I think I did the right thing from what Destiny told me, he has been getting way obsessed with her. I'm glad I didn't tell him where they went, like Destiny asked....... Now what was I doing.::

*************************

Chi Chi looked at the two girls sitting at the table. They had just showed up looking for a place to hide out for a few hours and talk. Chi Chi had been real happy they chose to come to her house; she didn't get to hang out with any other girl since she was younger.

"So Max got all pissed off cuz Vegeta kissed you. I thought you two broke up?" Chi Chi said as she sat down their drinks.

"We did, but that's not what gets me. He kissed me, kissed me. Not one of the little kisses, but like on of those 'god I want you kiss'. You know. I thought he hated me. What do I do? I acted all stunned, he probably thought I was stupid." Destiny said as she slammed her head on the table.

Laura looked at Chi Chi and shook her head. "I don't think he thinks you stupid, D. He like you ..... a lot. Besides you said you kissed him back so I bet he knows you like him too."

Destiny looked up at Laura. "Oh my god I kissed him. I let him get close to me. I mean really close."

Laura smiled, knowing exactly what she meant.

Chi Chi looked at the girl like she was crazy. "Umm .... what do you mean."

Laura looked at Chi Chi and smiled. " Destiny doesn't let any guy get to close to her. She gets real scared. She freaks out completely like she is suffocating or some thing, but she didn't freak out with Vegeta. You get it she is completely calm around him. He makes her feel safe."

Chi Chi realized what she was talking about and looked at Destiny. "You were..."

Destiny frowned and laid her head down. " Yeah I was."

"Oh I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it. Its done and I can't change it but I still hurt."

Laura stood up and hugged Destiny from behind. "But think about it, Vegeta makes you feel safe. You should get with him. Oh I bet that's why Max was pissed."

"Yeah I know." Destiny said smiling.

Just then Goku, Piccolo and Gohan walked through the door.

Gohan put on a big smile then ran over to hug Destiny and Laura. "Hey. I haven't seen you guys for a while."

Laura smiled at Gohan. "Sorry kid. We been real busy but we are going to start to come around more often ok?"

"Great."

Goku walked over to Chi Chi gave her a kiss and sat at the table opposite of the two girls. "So what have you two been up to......oh hey how are you and Max?"

Destiny imedently slammed her head back on the table. While Laura came up behind her and started to rub her back saying soothing words.

Goku looked at the girl for a while. "Was it some thing I said?"

"Goku, Piccolo, Gohan come into the living room real fast would you." Chi Chi said as she grabbed Goku.

They fallowed her and she told them what happed. When they came back out they stared at Destiny with opened mouths.

Destiny looked at them and slammed her fists on the table. " What! So he kissed me, so what?!"

Goku sat down and looked at her and smiled. "I think its great. Vegeta is really learning how to care."

"Thanks Goku, but I still don't know what to do about Max." Destiny said in a voice of worry.

"I'm sure every thing will work out just fine."

"I hope so."

Laura rolled her eyes. "Ok. No more talk about Max. Vegeta like Destiny and that's that, Max does not have any thing to do with it, ok. So subject changed. So Piccolo how is train with Goku? I mean what is it like to fight a super sayain?"

Piccolo stared at her for a minuet then looked at Goku. "Um..... its..... ok...."

"Ooookay. Um......Gohan how is home schooling going?" Laura asked trying to get a conversation going.

"Its ok, I guess I just wish I could understand it better so I could train more."

"Well hey, I use to help kids with homework. I could help you out when you, your dad, and Piccolo are taking a brake from training and then you will have time to have a little fun."

Gohan turned to his mother. "OH mom can we do that. I will be able to train and do my work then I can go have some fun. Can I?"

"I think that is a great idea. You don't mind that you have to watch Goku and Piccolo fight all day do you?" Chi Chi asked hopeful that maybe Laura could make him study a bit better.

"Oh I don't mined I would love to help. I don't really have anything to do with my time. I will be fun."

"Great, Gohan why don't you go show Laura what you are working on right now. Ok?"

"Ok mom."

As Laura and Gohan left the room Destiny turned to Piccolo. "Ok what's up? You were totally tong tied."

Piccolo just stood there not wanting to look at her.

Goku turned to Destiny and smiled. "He has a crush on her."

Piccolo turned to Goku giving him one of those stairs. "Thank you Goku for telling her know she can go tell Laura." He said sarcastically.

"Oh Piccolo I'm not going to tell her. You will."

"What, like hell I will."

"Look its not like she is going to laugh. She will be flattered, she likes you too you know."

"Huh?"

"She hides it but I know what she thinks and feels. Trust me."

Just then Laura and Gohan walked back in.

"God Chi Chi, Gohan is pretty smart for his age. I think I'll come by at eight tomorrow. Ok?" She said looking at Goku.

"Great." Goku said from his set.

The rest of the day they sat at the table talking about what has been happening since the last time they saw each other.

Piccolo finally got the nerve and asked Laura to go out side with him for a sec. Laura looked at him for a second and then went with him.

She fallowed him a few feet away from the house until he stopped. Laura looked at him for a while confused; he would not turn around to face her. "Um... is some thing wrong. You bring me out here and then you don't even say anything."

"Laura don't say anything till I'm done talking ok?"

"...... ok...."

Piccolo sighed. He didn't even know what to say. " I know I'm not a human or anything, but I do feel. Laura I like you. A lot. I wasn't going to tell you but Destiny talked me into it. I just needed to tell you. These feeling are all new to me and I don't know what to do. Do you understand."

Piccolo waited not getting a reply. He closed his eyes wishing that every thing would just disappear. He could just see Laura laughing behind him. He really felt like an idiot.

"You like me?" She asked barely a whisper, but for Piccolo it was easy to make out.

"Yes I do. I'm sorry, but I just had to tell you. It was driving me crazy and I don't know what to do." Piccolo said making fists and closing his eyes wishing that he never opened his mouth in the first place. :: Make a mental note to kill Goku for opening his mouth.::

Laura quietly walked up to stand in front of Piccolo. She looked up at him seeing his eyes shut. "I'll show you what to do." She said as she reached up and rapped her hands around his neck, and started to kiss him.

Piccolo's eyes flew opened but closed after he realized what was happening. He rapped his arms around her and pulled back from the kiss. "Does this mean you like me too?"

Laura looked at him and smiled. "Yeah, you know I never thought I would end up with a tall green guy." She said as she laughed.

****************************

Two hours latter Laura and Destiny thought it was best to get home. It was getting late and they didn't feel like going home during the night.

Chapter 7:

It was around eleven p.m. when the girls got back home. Laura went to bed seeing that she would have to get up early tomorrow, and Destiny thought it was best to got to sleep too.

Destiny walk in to her room and to her bathroom, she put on her long silk night shirt she sleeps in and was about to go to bed when some one knocked on her door.

She looked at the door for a moment and then answered. "Who is it?"

"Its Bulma."

Destiny could hear the sleep in her voice, and went to open the door. "Hey what are you still doing up?"

"Waiting for you. Max told me to tell you to stay up and wait for him. Said he wanted to talk to you." Bulma said leaning on the doorframe.

"Where did he go?"

"He said he needed a drink."

Destiny sighed. "He probably went to look for a bar. If he gets drunk I wont be able to control him."

"What do you mean?" Bulma asked, as she started to wake up all the way.

" He gets so drunk he doesn't know what he is doing........Did you tell him where me and Laura went?"

"Nope. Didn't tell him a thing but he was madder than hell when he left." Bulma posed for a moment. "Are you going to be ok if he comes in drunk? Cuz if not, I can stay up with you."

Destiny smile, she was glad that Bulma cared that much. "I'll be fine. You go to bed, you look tired. I'll talk to you in the morning. I'm sure there is a lot to do in the lab so go to sleep and get some rest."

"Yeah, ok. Good night." Bulma said as she walked down the hall and in to her room.

When Bulma was in her room Destiny decided to go down stairs to get a cup a coffee, she didn't know how long Max would be out, and didn't want to leave him alone in the house drunk. No telling what he would brake.

She guessed every one was asleep so didn't put on a robe and her shirt went down to her knees and had long sleeves so is didn't show any thing but her legs.

However she was wrong. When she reached the bottom of the stares she saw Vegeta sitting on the couch drinking some thing.

Destiny stopped and studied him for a while. He looked like he just came in from training. :: Bulma must have fixed the gravity room when I was gone. Damnit, that's why he is up late. How to get to the kitchen with out him seeing me? I so don't want to face him after what happened earlier. Hmm....:: Destiny walked to the kitchen praying that he didn't notice.

Vegeta took another drank from his cup and smiled. He knew the Destiny was there and when she went in to the kitchen. He knew she was confused as to what happen so he thought he would wait for a while. Sitting all the way back he relaxed waiting for Max to show up he knew that Max was going to talk to her so he thought he would wait up too.

In the kitchen Destiny sat by the table drinking the coffee she made for herself. She was on her second cup when Max opened the door stumbling in. He turned and closed the door behind him. As he turned back around he pulled the half full beer the was in his hand up to his mouth for a long drank.

Destiny looked at him for a minuet and sighed. It was going to be a long night. He was wasted.

Max finally realized she was there and smiled. "Hey babe. Where you been? You look great." He said like he was the happiest person in the world.

"Max you drunk." Destiny stated.

He looked at her for a minuet and then laughed. "Yah. I guess I am. Now wait just a minuet. I was going to talk to you about some thing." He said trying to think of what is was.

"Max I think you should get to bed. We can talk about it in the morning ok." Destiny said as she put her cup in the sink and went to help Max to his room.

Max looked at her when she grabbed his arm and smiled. "You know you look beautiful." He said as he put his hand through her hair.

Destiny pulled his hand away and looked at him. "Max..... you need to go to bed."

"Ok, but why don't you come with me?" He said as he stared to kiss her neck, but was pushed back by her.

"Max your drunk and I ..." She was cut off.

"I know, you sorry."

"For what?" She asked confused.

"For what happened between you and Vegeta. Don't worry you don't have to be sorry, Vegeta did it. I wont let he come near my girl ever again." He said as he tried to kiss her again.

Destiny took a step back. "Max I am not your girl. Now go to bed." She said as she went to turn off the light by the back door.

Max looked at her angry. He walked up behind her before she reached the light switch.

The next thing Destiny knew, Max grabbed her and turned her around pushing her up against the door. "Max! What are you doing? Let me go." She said looking at him.

Max looked at her. "Every time. Every time, Destiny. Why?"

"What are you talking about? Let me go."

"Every time I try and get close to you. You just push me away."

Destiny realized what he was saying. "Max, I'm sorry ok. I don't..... please.... Just let me go. Your drunk you don't know what your doing."

Max stared down at her and smiled. "I forgive you. Now let me make you feel better." He said as he kissed her.

Destiny tried to pull away but seeing that she was against the door that didn't help. Max kissed her moving down where he started to suck at her neck.

Destiny put her hands to his chest trying to push him off. "Stop it. Max........ stop.... It."

He didn't move one bet so she stomped on his foot.

"Ahh. You bitch." He said as he hit her across the face.

Destiny fell against the door but was pulled back by Max just to be slammed against it again. "Max.... stop it...... please..." She said between tears. ::This can't be happening. Not again. No. God no.:: She thought as she cried.

She was pushed against the door again, Max grabbed her shirt and tore it, reviling her bra. Max push against her and kisser at her neck demandingly. She could feel his hands roam over her body grabbing at her breast and down her leg, and then sliding up to her thighs. As he cupped her ass, Destiny let out a scream, hoping that some one would hear, the house was so big and the walls were so thick, all she could do is hope some one heard her.

**************************

Vegeta was in the living room and had fallen asleep but awoke when he heard a scream. He knew it was Destiny's voice and ran to the kitchen. What he saw when he got there made him snap. Max had Destiny up against the door grabbing and kissing on her roughly. Vegeta let out a deep growl as he grabbed Max from the back and throw him across the kitchen.

Destiny fell to the floor, pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around her, so she could hide her face and cried.

Max got to his feet and turned to see Vegeta. "You. What the hell are you doing here?!?!"

Vegeta heard the cries coming from Destiny, cries the were made be Max. Vegeta let out another growl as Max started to walk up to him.

Max stopped when hearing the growl. "Get out of my way."

Vegeta narrowed his eyes. "You take another step and I'll kill you."

"She belongs to me."

"She doesn't belong to you any more. You fucked up and lost her, and I'll be damned if I let you hurt her again."

Max looked at Vegeta. There was no way he could fight him. Vegeta could easily kill him so he took a step back. "You got her now, but she will be mine. Sooner or later she will be mine, she will be with me, she will belong to me. Until then I'm going to get my stuff and leave." Max looked at Destiny. " One day Destiny I'm going to have you." He said as he went to walk out the front door.

Vegeta turned and looked down at Destiny. Her Shirt was ripped badly. He kneeled down and put a hand on her shoulder.

Destiny tensed up. "No not again....no.... please. I can't take it.... Please." She said between cries, which caused Vegeta to remove his hand.

Vegeta took in a deep breath. "Destiny, its me. I'm not going to hurt you. Max is gone." He could tell she was scared to death, she was shacking uncontrollable.

Destiny looked up and saw Vegeta. "He... he's gone?" She said trying to stop the crying.

Vegeta sighed. "Yes he's gone."

Destiny jumped in to his arms and broke down crying again. "He was going to ...... I . I tried to push him ....off.... b..but I couldn't...Don't let him near me..... please.... Don't let him hurt me..." She said crying in to his chest.

Vegeta held her close moving his hand over her head, soothing her. "I wont.... I promise. Lets see if we can get you to bed." He said, as he picked her up cradling her like a baby. He turned off the light and took her up stairs.

Every one seemed to still be asleep. That didn't surprise him. The walls were thick, so they could have not heard her scream. When he got to her room the light was still on. He walked to her bed and went to lay her down, but she would not let go of him. " Destiny, you have to let go. My room is right across the hall...... I wont let any one hurt you."

Destiny would not let go she was afraid, afraid more than she had ever been in a long time. "Please.... Don't leave me. I need you..... Please. I don't want to be alone."

Vegeta looked at her. She needed him, no one ever needed him. He then laid them both on the bed. When he laid his head down Destiny curled up beside him, barring her head in his chest where she fell asleep.

Vegeta looked at her, and realized just how much he cared about her. He wanted her, to be with her, to protect her, to..... love her. He smiled and fell asleep letting her take over his dreams.
