1 - Wild Cherry
I sighed as I knocked at the door to the Capsule Corp main laboratory and smiled happily as I saw Dr. Briefs, my father's best friend and my employer.
"Ah, Kozakura, konnichiwa! I'm glad you could make it!" he cried as he rushed up to hug me and I felt a dark blush spread over my cheeks.
"It's good to see you to, Briefs-san," I said as I hugged the small doctor who was like a second tousan to me.
"It's good to see you, Imooto," Bulma said as she exited (calling me by her nickname for me *it means Little Sister*) with several robots behind her carrying things out of the house. "Well I'm sorry I can't stay longer but I'm going with Yamcha now. A little trip to try and get him to propose." She winked and I smiled as I shook my head.
"Good luck, I hope you catch him, Oneesan," I said as I flung my duffle bag over my shoulder and smiled at Bulma, her aqua hair blowing back towards me, I thanked Kami that horrible perm was gone.
"By the way, I love what you've done with your hair she said as she indicated my hair and I smiled slightly. My hair was the same shade as the blossoms of a cherry tree but last year I dyed half of my hair a lavender color and it was still in my bangs while the rest of my hair was pink. I had let the lavender hair stay short while growing out the rest of my hair and putting it in a simple ponytail.
"Arigato, no one really likes it back home," I said as I wrapped the hair around my fingers.
"No, arigato gozaimas for taking care of everything while I'm gone," Bulma said as she climbed into the car and I waved at Yamcha. "Sayonara, Papa! Ja ne, Kozakura and good luck!" With that Bulma was gone and I scrunched up my nose in puzzlement.
"What'd she mean by good luck?" I asked as I followed Dr. Briefs into the house.
"Oh she means with Vegeta," he said as he smiled as he led me towards the spare bedrooms.
"Okay, who's Vegeta?" I asked as he opened a door and let me into the room. He looked at me in shock.
"Didn't Bulma tell you?" he asked and I shook my head as I dropped my bag on the bed.
"Tell me what?" I asked as I took out my clothes and started putting them away. Dr. Briefs sighed as he shook his head.
"Bulma was suppose to tell you we have a young man staying with us that is rather?powerful. He is training in a gravity room I created and Bulma maintained. She was suppose to tell you that you're to take over all her chores," he said and I nodded.
"Oh, yeah, she told me all about taking care of all the things she was suppose to do. She told me that was why you were transferring me here for the next two months" I said as I finished unpacking and tossed my duffle bag under the bed. Dr. Briefs chuckled as he shook his head.
"Bulma didn't leave you a list of her chores or tell you what she was suppose to do did she?" he asked and I shook my head and he chuckled. "Well, I guess she thought you wouldn't come if you knew. Anyway, you're in charge of fixing the gravity room when it breaks, making any upgrades Vegeta requests, and fixing him all his meals. On occasion he'll ask you to do his laundry. A word to the wise, just do it." With that Dr. Briefs was gone and I realized that Bulma had transferred me here during her vacation with her boyfriend to be the servant of some guy I didn't even know about.
"That subeta! This is oushikuso! Well, I feel like a really big baka right now. Arigato, Bulma," I sighed as I got up and headed to the lab to see if there was anything there I could mess with. Thankfully, there was a broken-down hover car and I quickly began checking it out.
