Chapter 15

"Broly, why did you do that to Dad?" Marikia asked as she sat beside her older brother in the cafeteria.

"Because, he insulted you, he said you were like...that woman", Broly answered.

Marikia's eyes flashed angrily.

"I'm nothing like her!" the young Saiyan snapped.

"That's what I told him", Broly said.

I'm so sick of him acting like he can do and say whatever he wants to us", Marikia sighed exasperatedly.

"I am too", Broly growled, his tail thrashing angrily.

"Broly, don't get yourself worked up", Marikia said, putting a hand on Broly's shoulder before running her hand through her brother's long, raven-black hair that reached past his shoulder blades. "You all ready made Dad lose his left eye".

"I told him not to push me, but he wouldn't listen to me", Broly replied.

"I know, but you have to keep in mind that you're stronger than Dad is", Marikia said, still stroking Broly's hair.

"I know", Broly said, unable to supress a half smile.

Marikia half smiled too.

Without warning, Broly pulled Marikia into a hug.

Not at all surprised, Marikia returned the embrace.

...

The next day, Broly payed a visit to his therapist, Dr. Nozawa.

Dr. Nozawa had long, straight black hair which she always kept in a simple ponytail.

Today, she wore a black skirt with a matching blazer and a pale pink silk blouse.

Broly wasn't really sure of her age, but he thought she looked somewhere between twenty or thirty.

"I hear you've been having some trouble with your anger again", Dr. Nozawa said to Broly after the two were seated, Broly on the dark blue velour couch and Dr. Nozawa on the matching armchair across from the couch.

Broly nodded.

"Yes, I got into a fight with my father two days ago", he said after a few minutes.

"And what happened?" Dr. Nozawa asked, writing something down in her notepad.

"I...caused him to go blind in his left eye", Broly answered sheepishly.

"Broly! I'm surprised at you!" Dr. Nozawa gasped. "Why would you do such a thing?"

"I don't know", Broly said. "I guess I was just mad because my teacher was really rude to my little sister the other day, and Dad started insulting her too...he said she was...like that woman".

"You don't like talking about your mother, do you?" Dr. Nozawa asked. They had run into this problem before.

Broly shook his head.

"You're sister...Marikia's her name, isn't it?" Dr. Nozawa asked.

Broly nodded his head.

"You love Marikia very much, don't you?" Dr. Nozawa questioned.

Broly's mind was instantly flooded with memories.

(Flashback)

Two-year-old Broly looked down at his baby sister, who was fast asleep in her cradle.

Suddenly, the infant opened her eyes and started to whimper.

"It's okay, Marikia", Broly said, putting a hand in the cradle.

Marikia's little hand grabbed it and started sucking on the end of her big brother's finger.

"I'll always protect you, I promise", Broly whispered as little Marikia released his finger and started to fall asleep.

(Flashback changes)

"Here, Marikia, open this one", four-year-old Broly said. "It's from me".

Eagerly, two-year-old Marikia tore open the present and squealed with delight.

"You got me a teddy bear? Thank you, Broly! I love it! Thank you! Thank You!" the little girl cheered, jumping up and down, her arms wrapped around the bear.

Broly smiled. He knew she would love it. No one, not even their father could explain it, but Broly and his sister had a very strong bond. Both were together all the time.

Marikia could get Broly to calm down whenever he was in one of his rages. Broly could always find some way to make Marikia happy. Broly loved when his sister was happy.

(Flashback changes)

Broly and Marikia's father had taken them to the playground at the park. Broly was now six, Marikia was four.

Marikia was playing with some other children, Broly sat on a bench, watching her.

"Don't you want to go play too, Broly?" his father asked him.

Broly shook his head.

A second later, Marikia came running over, crying.

Broly quickly sat his sister down.

"What is it, Marikia?" their father asked.

Marikia wiped her eyes and raised her right knee. Her knee was bleeding.

"What happened?" Broly asked her.

"That...b-bigger b-boy over t-there p-pushed me d-down and said I was in his way", Marikia sobbed.

With a growl of rage, Broly ran over to the playground.

"You hurt my sister!" Broly yelled at a boy who towered over him. The boy was at least ten, four years older than Broly.

"What are you gonna do about it, Shrimp?" the boy sneered.

That did it.

With a scream of rage, Broly tackled the boy and started punching every inch of the boy that he could possibly reach.

Within minutes, the boy was screaming and bleeding from the mouth and nose.

"Apologize to my sister!" Broly snarled.

"I'm sorry!" the boy yelled to Marikia. "I'M SORRY!"

Marikia turned away.

With a snort of disgust, Broly pushed the boy to the ground and walked over to his sister.

(Flashback changes)

"Broly, Broly", the seven-year-old Saiyan boy heard someone say. He turned to see his five-year-old sister standing in the doorway, holding her teddy bear, looking scared.

"What's wrong, Marikia?" Broly asked.

"I had a bad dream, can I sleep in here with you?" Marikia pleaded.

"Sure", Broly answered, picking Marikia up and laying her on the bed before grabbing one blanket and a pillow and laying them on the floor.

"Good night, Broly", Marikia said softly.

"Night, Marikia", Broly replied.

(Flashback ends)

"You love Marikia very much, don't you?" Dr. Nozawa asked.

"Of course I do", Broly said. "She's my sister, I'd do anything to protect her, it's been that way ever since we were little".

"She can get to you when no one else can, can't she?" Dr. Nozawa asked.

"Yeah", Broly answered with a half smile as he looked down at the floor.

"She cares for you just like you care for her, doesn't she?" Dr. Nozawa questioned.

Broly nodded.

"My father doesn't care about her", Broly said.

"He's your father, why would you say that?" Dr. Nozawa asked.

"Because, he said it was her own fault that she got in trouble and then he started saying she was a know-it-all, and I...just lost it", Broly explained.

...

"Well, I think we've made some excellent progress today", Dr. Nozawa said with a smile. "I'll see you next week, Broly".

"Okay", Broly said, before walking through the door.

"So, how'd it go?" Marikia asked.

"Dr. Nozawa said I made a lot of progress", Broly said, obviously pleased with himself.

"Broly, that's wonderful!" Marikia said, throwing her arms around her older brother. Broly responded with such enthusiasm, he lifted his younger sister off of her feet.

"Okay, Broly, you can put me down now", Marikia laughed after a few minutes.

Broly, also laughing, gently sat Marikia down.

"Come on, Broly", Marikia said, linking arms with her brother. "Let's go home".

Broly nodded and the two young Saiyans took to the sky and headed for home, flying side by side.

...

...

Okay, I know this Chapter was just about Broly and his sister, but I promise you'll see some BulmaxVegeta in the next chapter, along with a bit of GokuXChichi. In the next chapter we are gonna get to the part people have been waiting for...

But other than that, how was it? Let me know.
