Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the fight got under way, Dee had a seat beside Buula and she whispered, "I heard that comment about the playing in the trash, and the only one here that would likely use it is Kogaku. Oh, and don't forget this...if I hear more comments like that, I will treat some of you like trash. Be more careful about what you say around here, Buula, okay?"

Vegeta was gaining power as he too was listening to the words in the stands. Harder and harder he hit, and soon, within an hour, Kakarot was down and out.

"All right!" Dee exclaimed, "Now, I believe its time to get to work. First of all, we are going to have to help Iori with the elevator by creating the floors that the elevator is supposed to stop at. Joe Higashi, you are soon going to have elevator access to your suite. So, I hope you don't mind, but we are going to start there."

Yumi didn't like what she was hearing, so she said, "I'm sorry, Lance, but I am sure that Empress Dee would have you banished for saying such a thing to me. Look, whatever Corey's up to, it is surely nothing for what the rest of us can do. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to complete."

The young Yagami half-ling headed down to Joe's apartment suite and was immediately disgusted with how messy it was. "Did I just enter an apartment suite or a disaster zone? This is absolutely revolting!" Yumi thought, but was soon once again tapped on the shoulder.

This time, Yumi wasted nothing to land an open-palm strike to Vegeta's face. Vegeta smirked, "I'm happy to see you too, Yumi," he said, "Dee has requested of me to tell you to be sure to be on guard. With the rest of us working on this, she feels that you are the best security guard we've got."

Yumi was stunned to hear this! How could Dee feel that she was better than the saiyan standing before her? Did she know what was on the way? Could Dee already be aware that her own youngest child was on the way to make an attack on the mansion? And for that matter, what could Yumi do about it?

Terry then whispered to Yumi, "Protect my home as if it were your own."

Yumi could only gape, but then nodded. She was not about to let the other Bogards down. She was beginning to see that she was right about what she said to Lance. Just because one of them was truly evil, not all of them were. Like every family, there has to be one bad seed.

It was then that Corrigan, Jonathan, and a rather frightened Luke got there. Luke was usually a bold type of Pokemon unafraid of danger, but what Luke sensed was nothing but disaster.

However fearful that Luke was, he was not about to betray what Corrigan had in mind. "Step aside, Yumi," Corrigan said, "I don't want to hurt you, but I will if you won't let me pass."

Yumi growled then asked sincerely, "Why, Corrigan. why are you doing this?"

"What mom is doing is wrong! She is trying to make her lounge a monopoly, can't you see that?"

Yumi replied, "You're the one whose wrong, Corey! What your mom is doing is trying to restore the balance! I don't like having to stand out here while the grown ups all have their fun cleaning a place worse than a junk yard, but I was told that I had to protect this place at all costs even if it means losing my baby!"

Iori who was in the kitchen over heard this. It was Iori's job to protect the kitchen and Yumi didn't know that he was one of the "grown ups" who didn't get to have the fun. He was also on a break from working on the elevator in the lounge. As far as his work went, he just had to wait for the next stage. He at first thought about doing nothing after all, Yumi didn't exactly lie to him when she said she was going to see Sasuke for training. But he did have to wonder whose baby she was carrying.

Jonathan then smirked, "Hmm...so, Yumi is pregnant...this can work to our advantage Corey if I knew whose baby she is carrying."

Yumi didn't say another word, but activated her sharingan eyes in hopes that either Sasuke or Itachi would sense that she was in danger.

(Yay! You responded how I wanted! Now things will get really interesting)

Iori had heard what he had needed to hear and so did Jonathan. Jonathan attacked first by grabbing Sasuke's sword, but Iori countered that move with a flame attack.

Itachi was the next to step in by grabbing Yumi and Lance by the waist and saying, "Yumi, time to relieve you of this duty. I am not about to watch someone dear to my brother die needlessly. That man, the older one beside Corey is a man that this whole galaxy had feared for a long long time and for a long long time we didn't have anyone who could kill him. But, if you remained where you were, Jonathan was going to abuse you and not only were you going to lose the baby, but your life as well. The last time that man attacked, Dee had to use her parasitic powers in order to protect Terry's mother!"

Jonathan growled, "Darn, and here I thought I was going to be able to really shake things up."

Then he smirked, "Then again...who said my fun couldn't be with another man?"

Jonathan tried to proceed with his rape plan, but Sasuke was quick with his sword and castrated the older man. Sasuke declared, "You are not going to harm my brother or I in that sense, Jonathan! Now I am going to ask you nicely to leave and never return. As for Corrigan...Itachi, bring him to Dee. I will see to it that Jonathan leaves in one way or another."

Corrigan tried to run, but that plan failed for Iori had him in chains quicker than the blink of an eye. "Once we speak with Dee, Corrigan, you and I are going to have a longer session with why this was a very bad move. There is a reason I was assigned being the Dark Arts teacher at Southtown finishing school, and though you are not of age to be in that school yet, you are about to learn why most students there hate me."

Terry and Dee could not believe their ears, but when they saw the look in their son's eyes, they nodded and Itachi went back to the work he was doing before he was so rudely interrupted.

Terry asked Corrigan, "Why would you resort to going to your grandfather to get revenge on us? I mean, don't you know what he would have done to you once he did what you had asked? That man was exiled for a reason regardless of his relation to us."

"Of course I know, father! But it was a risk I was willing to take! I am loyal to the Orochi Lounge, not this one! And with the fact that mom and you stole all of the customers to the point where its gonna be closed for a while, you have no idea how bored I am gonna get over there! That lounge is not just my job, father, its my life! Seeing the customers happy with the service I provide them brings me a smile. And it helps me move on to the next day! That anger, that hatred for what you two did was so great that I was going to put my own life at risk just to see the two of you fall! Do what you must to me, but please understand my point of view."

Yumi was still in the fighting arena, just sitting on one of the benches, seemingly lost in thought. She was thinking how she continuously finds herself in situations such as this one. She also wondered what the deal with Corrigan was. Did the squirt really miss her or was this more of the same old thing?

She turned her head the moment Sasuke and Itachi entered the arena. She saw that Itachi was looking rather upset about this whole ordeal whereas Sasuke was just plain concerned for her safety.

"Is there anything wrong, Itachi?" Yumi asked.

"Not really," Itachi replied, "Just wondering what my brother's motives were for doing it."

Yumi sighed as she glanced at her feet for a moment then focused her gaze upon Itachi. Then she said to him, "It was my understanding that at the time, I was told to give a message not to see Dee for 9 months. This message, of course, was not the actual plan that Terry wanted and what had been agreed upon with Daddy, Sasuke got the proper part of the message though, and he had a problem because he needed someone to have sex with and under normal circumstances, he goes to Dee for that kind of pleasure. I was only more than happy to help him in that respect as it meant keeping the balance. But, I also told Sasuke to use protection. He did use the protection as he promised. It was this galaxy that thought otherwise. So.... if you were thinking Sasuke getting me pregnant was selfish, then you are only half right. He put the galaxy first before his own personal desires."
