Shaking his head, Juunana sat up. He couldn't believe he fainted. What the hell brought that on..? Juunana thought. He looked up to see Juuhachi a little ways away in the kitchen, hunched over Okashi. Juunana raised an eyebrow as Juuhachi let out a frustrated growl and turned around.
She grumbled. "Oh, you're awake. Good, take your damn child and change her." Juunana looked shocked.
"How do you propose I do that?"
"I don't know. Figure it out, lover boy. Your child."
With that, Juuhachi stomped out of the kitchen, leaving Okashi on the table. Juunana calmly walked into the kitchen to be greeted with a strong stench that was hard to breathe through, let alone ignore. Juunana hacked and coughed, before regaining his composure. He'd have to tackle this head on.
Gohan had somehow managed to not eat for the past two days. Fortunately for him, Bulma cooked. Unfortunately for Bulma, she had to cook a lot. Gohan sat at the table with a waistband on for balance, shoving food into his mouth at an alarming rate.
Trunks looked at Gohan in a mute awe. Slowly sliding the fork out of his mouth, Trunks swallowed while watching food attach itself to Gohan's round cheeks and full lips. Bulma noted Trunks' unwavering stare and detached attention to his food.
"Trunks!" Bulma said, tapping her foot. Trunks looked away from Gohan quickly, and looked at Bulma instead. "Eat, stop picking with your food." She added, pointing a spoon at his bowl. Trunks swallowed his mouthful and began to eat at a normal speed (for him) and didn't glance at Gohan again that evening.
Juunana sighed. He was covered in baby shit. But atleast Okashi was clean. She giggled and rolled around on the table. Rolling off she hit the floor with a loud thud. Okashi sat there a minute, wondering what happened. Then she broke into a loud laughter, and Juunana wondered.
Is that the Saiyajin in her? Or is that the android?
Inside of Okashi's mind, something different was going on.
Ouch! That hurt! Why didn't he catch me, that person with the black hair! The blonde haired lady said I was his 'child'. Must be like daddy or something. That's what that other blue haired lady had said. This is all so confusing!
"Okay, you. You stay right there and don't move an inch! I need to clean up before Juuhachi has one of her damn fits.." Juunana said to Okashi, moving towards the sink in the back of the kitchen. He wouldn't be able to watch her, so he hoped for the best.
Juunana picked up the soap and washed his hands, arms and face. This stuff reeked of everything Okashi had ate. Juunana washed three times for good measure. As he turned the water off, he heard Juuhachi screaming obscenities. He turned around to see Okashi holding tightly onto Juuhachi's hair, while she ran around the room screaming.
Juunana stared for a minute before breaking into a fit of laughter. "That's so unlike you, Juuhachi!" He said, pointing to Okashi.
"I DON'T CARE! MAKE HER LET GO OF MY HAIR!!" Juuhachi screamed, trying to tug the child off without damaging her limited hair. Okashi gripped on tighter, squealing.
This is fun! The blonde haired lady must be playing with me too! She's running around, letting me hang on!
Juunana had seen enough, Juuhachi was about to go crazy with Okashi attached to her hair. Juunana walked over and tugged on Okashi, bringing the child off easily. Well, easy for him, painful for Juuhachi. Okashi came away with two small clumps of hair in her hand. Juuhachi felt the sore spots on her head before blowing up.
"She.. SHE RIPPED OUT MY FUCKING HAIR! JUUNANA!" Juuhachi yelled, seething. Juunana looked at Okashi, before turning her over and smacking her on the rump. "I told you to stay put!"
Okashi's lip trembled, and Juunana saw what was the second biggest mistake of his life. Okashi wailed and kicked Juunana. She saw her papa do it to the purple haired kid. It hurt.
"Now look what you've done, Juunana!"
"It wasn't my fault!"
"Yes it was! You should've been watching her! Maybe then I wouldn't have to fucking staple my hair back in!"
"Staple..?"
"Yes."
Juunana burst out laughing again. Juuhachi huffed and smacked Juunana before walking off.
