FOUR

***True Feelings***

The water was cold, but inviting, Goten and Trunks laughed as they splashed around in the water happily like two adorable chibi's should.

Gohan looked over at Lee's direction she was lying on the grass, her legs exposed to the sun, he remembered Bulma and his mother used to do that. Goten who swam off giggling splashed him. "Pay attention Gohan." Goten laughed.

"Dad says you like her." Trunks remarked. "But she doesn't do much apart from that training does she?" he looked up at Gohan.

"She does too." Goten protested. "You should have seen her this morning she was awesome! And Her mom's cool too she got violet hair. It was neat."

Gohan scooped his hand through the water and he looked over to where Lee was lying and he got a mischievous look across his face and he looked at the two boys they grinned suddenly and the three of them sent a small yet effective saiyan caused wave to the shore.

*SPLASH*

They laughed as she jumped up and looked at them. "Oh ha ha very funny you three kids."

"So I'm a kid am I?" Gohan asked smirking at her.

"Any bet it was your idea."

"Me?" Gohan faked mock innocence. "Never."

She smirked. "Fine I'll show you, a water fight you want a water fight you'll get never miss with a wicca with water in her rising sign."

Gohan watched as she pulled the shirt that had covered the top part of her legs off to reveal her standing there in her underwear.

"Lee!" Gohan exclaimed remembering Goten and Trunks' presence in the water.

She sauntered up to him in the water and he stayed completely still till she was face to face with him, she then smirked moving in so close he thought she was going to kiss him when she leapt on him and dunked him under the water.

She laughed and swam off to the side and Gohan resurfaced, the chibi's were giggling too.

The four of them unaware a certain green namek in a long white cape was watching them carefully and seriously.

~*~*~*~

Gohan and I sat quietly on the banks I was waiting the old fashioned way to dry. In the sun. Gohan had used his ki to dry himself off, not that I couldn't do that, it's just I was typically stubborn to do things my own way.

The two chibis were off somewhere chasing er catching fish… but we could still hear their laughter. Trunks was typically louder though, it was to be expected he was the one with all the 'great' ideas.

Back home I was the one who had all the great ideas as kids, the wild imagination, the combination of games like tag, hide and go seek and freeze. Just thinking about it I could still see my cousin crouched hiding behind the tire of the car, it was sad to think that someone who I had played those sort of what seemed to me to be really cool games, would end up pregnant with her own kid before she was even twenty. But then again she was part of the adoptive family on my father's side. Man their family was something that was just so typical of my father to be involved with.

"Your awfully quiet." Gohan remarked after a long pause of silence between us.

I looked at him. "Yea guess I am." It was a brief reply.

"Something bothering you?"

I looked at him, he was good at sensing something else on my mind, and it was so deep that even I hadn't really felt or remembered it until the silence between us.

"My father." I replied and looked out across the water in front of is glistening in the son.

"Oh." Gohan sounded worried. "Is he really that bad?"

"I don't know since this whole saiyan thing… man." I stood up and just looked out at the waterfall flowing in to the grove in front of us. "This time last year all I was worried about was finishing college. Getting my second degree and possibly getting some really cute and rich guy on the side. I didn't even know. How could I not know, I had always wondered why I was so much stronger than everyone else, why I was so violent as a child, why all these things I didn't understand and then its' like BOOM sorry Lee you're mother married an alien who's a part time psychopath with a messed up family." I was ranting. Really ranting, I was also upset. "All this time. A frickin lie… now I feel empty like there's some strange hole inside of me." I let out a defeated sigh. "I can't believe I'm a saiyan, daughter of an elite, oh-lala… pshhh." I ripped the necklace off angrily and went to throw it away, when Gohan's hand wrapped round mine to prevent me.

"You're upset I know how that is. But it's okay, keep this. You might need it. Besides it's probably the only piece of evidence Vegeta-sei ever existed."

I looked at him. "So level headed aren't you? Man I'm like this big wreck. So much hatred and anger, it's swarming inside me I can feel it and I know I can't hold it in there forever, but I'm scared if I open up it'll all come rushing out and no one will be safe."

"Then you and me are going to do some serious training tomorrow. I want you to prepare yourself to let everything out, you can't hurt me."

I swallowed and looked at Gohan. "You heard my father, he knows I'm stronger than you."

The sound of the water running from the waterfall attracted my attention suddenly and I felt a dread inside of me suddenly and looked over in that direction. I could feel it. There was a massive tear.

"Lee?" Gohan looked at me.

"I hear something." I remarked and held a hand up to silence him, I knew his saiyan hearing was trying to hear, but my senses were beyond that.

I raced in to the water with Gohan calling out after me.

"LEE!"

I heard him dive in to the water after me I swam fast and hard towards the waterfall stopping underneath it and looking at the water running down the waterfall I realised I'd fallen in to a scrying trance seeing what the water had to show me, there was a sound with the images I saw and I watched the images like a vision, just without the pain.

"Hi..." The black haired man looked at me and smiled as I bent down to pick up the magazine's I'd dropped when running in to him, he knelt down and helped me and smiled at me. He seemed a cheery type I looked up in to his eyes they seemed so familiar, he looked at me then handed me the magazine's he'd collected from the ground.

"Do I know you?" I looked at him. "Your eyes they're familiar..."

"I'm Goten." He smiled and I nearly fell over.

"Goten! Son Goten!" I cried out. I looked at him his hair spiked up and out almost everywhere, it was long too. He flashed the Son grin at me getting rid of any doubt I had, if any at that stage. "Megami help me. I've been gone to long..."

"Oooh wait... were you Gohan's first girlfriend the one that left after Evil Majin Buu was killed?" He asked smiled.

My left eye twitched. "I wasn't his girlfriend!" My arms flailed about wildly as Goten jumped back.

"Okay okay... sorry." He helped me up and I sniffed upset. "He's married isn't he?" I asked sorrow in my voice.

"Yeah." Goten looked at me he seemed to have sympathy in his gaze. "Are you staying anywhere?" He asked.

"An apartment down the road." I pointed.

"I'll walk you there." He smiled.

"You don't need to." I collected my magazines and put them in the bag. I felt a strong blush across my cheek as I looked at him.

His cellphone attached to his belt began to ring and he pulled it up and looked at the call id. "Heh it's Gohan won't he be surprised."

"No Goten please don't..." I begged, but it was too late.

"Hey Gohan guess what I'm with Leona! I found her walking down the street and you thought she'd left this world." Goten blinked. "Gohan...?"

"I did leave this world." I reminded Goten. "It was to prevent my father form trying to rule the world since Majin Buu was defeated."

Goten looked at me. "Oh so you did leave... Gohan wants to know when you got back?"

"Today. Baba brought me back, it's going to need my help again." I sighed and looked at Goten. "Look I've got to go."

"No wait!" Goten turned round. "I'll call you back Gohan... I'm gunna walk her home."

"Goten you don't have to."

I stopped when I heard that voice and I looked over my shoulder to see Trunks standing there.

Grown up.

"Too late." Goten had hung up the phone.

I sighed and rubbed my temples. "Are you still twenty-three?" Goten asked.

"Goten that's a stupid question it's been twenty years since we last saw her, she'd have to be forty-three about now." Trunks remarked.

"Actually I'm twenty-four. No time has passed in my world. Well probably about six months but that's about it."

"Wait so we're older than you now?" Trunks blinked and looked at Goten.

"Alright! Trunks that is cool!"

"Can I please go home now? I'm tired I've had a long trip."

"Sure! We'll both walk you."

My tail flicked about and then wrapped around my waist as I saw them staring at it. The last saiyan female and in their age group too, I didn't need to think what was going through their heads.

"Ah... Leona." I was brought out of the vision and I felt a slight dizziness and turned round to see Gohan staring at me his expression worried. "Are you okay?" He asked and touched my forehead. "You were off in a world of your own there."

I just blinked and then for a quick second after that everything spun round me fast, I didn't understand but I felt the cause had to do with this world.

"Gohan... I'm not feeling quite right." I held the side of my head.

"Do you feel sick?" He asked.

"No. This world it's doing something to me. I'm not used to it." I felt a swaying sensation and looked up suddenly as Piccolo landed in front of us.

"Mister Piccolo!" Goten's eye grew all starry as he raced up to Piccolo.

"Your power you're not use to suppressing it obviously." He stated as if it was a known thing. "An ability to go super saiyan three with no prior true training as a saiyan, I'm surprised this hasn't come across sooner."

"Piccolo?" Gohan looked confused.

"Take her back to your place to rest and then I suggest for a few days the two of you train seriously." He looked completely serious as he spoke to us. "She was sent her to help defend the world, we can't have the world's strongest fighter passing out before the fight."

"I'm not going to pass out!" I protested then for a moment everything spun round again and I grabbed on to Gohan for balance. Gohan blushed crimson across his face.

"Goten leave me with the fish why don't you?!" Trunks shouted as he dragged the large fish flapping through the waters up to where we were.

Gohan turned to Goten and then looked at Trunks. "Take that back home okay guys. I'll bring Lee."

"I can fly." I looked at him.

Gohan's blush had gone and he had a Goku-serious expression. "Sure that's why you're still holding on to me for balance."

I felt it was my turn to suddenly blush and I let go.

"Baba obviously didn't think about the effects of long term crossing worlds." Piccolo pointed out.

I looked down thinking to myself. 'The visions before arriving here they weren't telling me much except the possible what-ifs. If I had arrived during the beginning of the Trunks saga. I had seemed fine there. I didn't understand why I wasn't fine here.'

~*~*~*~

I lay on the couch Gohan sat on the floor by me, I felt all goose bumpy like when he was near and watched as he placed another blanket over me.

"Just a dizzy spell Gohan nothing more, not a cold. I'll be right as rain soon enough."

"We can't be too sure ya know."

"I miss my cat." I sighed.

Gohan sweatdropped. "Cat?"

"Yeah she was the sweetest thing, so cute."

"Ooooh Gohan do you think I could take her to see Toby someday?" Goten asked jumping up and down excitedly.

"I don't think a baby Pterodactyl is the same thing as taking some one round to see kittens."

"No it's okay Gohan. I always wanted to see a dinosaur. They're extinct where I come from."

"Really?" Gohan blinked. "I grew up round them here."

"Like Iccarus. He was the coolest of the coolest!" Goten pumped his chibi fist in the air.

Trunks looked at the two and rolled his eyes I smiled at him. "I'm a city kid myself personally. I grew up in the city with great transport systems and even better clubs."

"So why don't you stay in the city with us then?" Trunks questioned.

"Under the same roof as Vegeta?!" I laughed. "Are you kidding?! I'm barely a morning person imagine if he tried to like get me up in the middle of the night for training or something? I so would loose my sanity."

"Vegeta's not like that Lee." Gohan smiled.

"Uh-huh. Yeah he is. He only goes soft on me when Goten spends the night. I get to sleep an entire night, which is pretty cool. I'm glad he's letting me stay here."

Chi-chi walked in and she placed some logs by the fire. "Stove's gone dead. We have to do this the old fashioned way."

"Why don't you let me mom?" Goten asked.

"No I don't want anything burnt." She waved a finger at him. She then look at him and Trunks. "By the way Bulma gave me a camping capsule so I will let you boys camp outside the house since we don't have any spare rooms. Lee in her condition will sleep in Goten's bed, so Gohan can keep an eye on her."

"Hokay! Can me and trunks cook camping style pllllllllease?!" Goten bounced about excitedly.

"Alright but watch over it carefully." Chi-chi placed some wood in to the fireplace. "Gohan can you start the fire while I go get the food?"

"Sure thing." He smiled cheerfully and I watched Chi-chi leave. Gohan fired up the wood with a small ki blast and he smiled at me noticing me watching him.

"I still can't get over how cool that is." I smiled.

"Huh?" Gohan looked at me baffled and I sat up slightly.

"Where I come from that thing isn't seen... much. In fact never. Unless you count cartoons."

"Wait before coming here you had no idea how to even use your ki yet now you can go level three?" Gohan raised an eyebrow.

I nodded. "Yeah, your dad's a great teacher."

Gohan smiled. "Indeed he is."

"So what's dad like?" Goten looked at Gohan starry eyed and then at me.

I sweatdropped remembering the way Goku had been training me it was like he enjoyed the battles.

"He enjoys a good fight. I was put through many of them until he was convinced I could push him back equally as he'd been pushing me."

"Was he that hard on you?" Gohan looked at me shocked.

"It was fairly serious Gohan, the earth is going to be at stake shortly. I'm going to enter in to the world martial arts tournament that's where it starts. Perhaps if I could defeat the head, then nothing bad can come of it. But that all depends on how well I can save this realm. I know I'm going to be up against someone strong, physically and mentally." I must have turned extremely serious.

"Really?! Wow like the end of the world?" Trunks asked.

I nodded. "like boom and it explodes and no one is left alive. Yeah that bad."

"Cooooooool!" Trunks and Goten remarked in unison both their eyes starry with excitement.

I looked at Gohan. "They maybe half breed saiyan kids. But they are defiantly saiyans...." I shook my head.

Chi-chi re-entered with the food to cook.

~*~*~*~

As I sat on Goten's futon I held the cup of chamomile tea and took a sip. I looked up seeing Gohan leaning up against the window frame looking out.

The silence was enough to make me just a bit edgy.

"That waterfall today you saw something in it." Gohan remarked.

I nodded. "Yeah. How'd you know?"

"Trunks told me about you."

"He's just a kid. How could he know anything about me?"

"Mirai Trunks." Gohan corrected.

I froze suddenly. "Impossible. He couldn't."

"Think about it Lee. You're here now. This is the time where they would be killing the innocent. You arrive during this time in that world too."

"No I'm late here." I shook my head. "Really late Gohan. In my visions I was suppose to help you guys kinda with Robo-frieza."

Gohan turned round and looked at me. "Impossibly you could hardly of been old enough..."

I frowned. "Twenty-one thank-you! I could so of helped."

"You're seventeen here and now minus those years and you'd be only just older than me."

"No I would have been twenty-one, I figured this out, my age in this world reflects on the strongest living saiyan at that point of time. Then it would have been Goku, so twenty-one compared to twenty-six not much difference, seventeen and seventeen now... makes perfect sense."

Gohan nodded. "So you have this thing figured out."

"Except on how I'm going to help." I let out a defeated sigh. "It's still a bit away. But it's enough to make me feel ill having to deal with something-one like that."

There was a long silence and I finished my tea I stood up and flicked his radio on. He looked at me as I fiddled round with the stations.

"So do you really have a crush on Yamcha?" Gohan asked. "He's a bit old for you."

I spun round and glared at Gohan a glare that made him gulp. "For your information I'm twenty-three. Twenty-three it's not that much he's um... in his thirties."

"Over twelve years older." Gohan shook his head.

"I've dated older." I protested and crossed my arms.

"Yeah I know I heard about this fourteen year older man."

I nodded as if my point was made. 'I just won't say I never slept with him.' I thought to myself flushing.

"Would you?" I heard Gohan ask.

"Huh?" I looked at him.

"Slept with him?"

I nearly fell over. "How'd you do that?!" I exclaimed pointing at him.

"Do what?" He looked confused.

"I didn't say a thing. Zip, Zero, Nadda! How'd you know what I was thinking?"

"You thought that?" Gohan scratched his head.

I felt suddenly panicked there was only one explanation, but it was impossible, no one had bitten anyone. There was not a chance in hell that we could of... dare I think it... 'bonded.'

"You mean like my parents?" Gohan asked.

"Stop that... You're like completely totally and can I add DEFINITELY freaking me out."

Gohan sat on his futon. "We should ask-."

"No! No Vegeta!" I snapped quickly.

Gohan smiled. "You're getting good at the reading minds in return.

"No not reading, you're getting predictable."

Gohan looked at me. "Really?"

"Yes." I huffed and cross my arms annoyed.

"Okay what am I thinking now?"

I looked at him. "How should I know?"

"I'm predictable remember?"

"Well I don't care anymore."

"Go on focus your mind see if you can hear my thoughts."

"Me read a teenage male's mind? That's just dodge city. Thanks for the offer but no thanks."

"Scared?" He teased.

"No."

"Then?"

"Fine." I huffed.

I took a deep breath and looked at Gohan trying to focus my mind, it would be good mental training. There was a few minutes and I could hear something but it was like a mumbling and I couldn't make it out. The sound was getting to be frustrating, it was like some kind of gerbil or something, not that I knew what a gerbil sounded like. Finally the sound of gerbil mumbling was gone and I could feel something, I was sure it was something I hadn't felt in a while, like prodding of my heart like someone was jabbing it to feel whatever it was.

"You're close." I heard Gohan's voice.

For some reason the feeling was something strong when I was sure I heard Gohan's voice but looking at him I didn't see a movement of his lips and I nearly fell off the bed with the shock. That was the distraction that stopped me from full trying to double check if I dared, cause all I could hear was gerbil mumblings again.

"You heard me didn't you?" Gohan asked.

"I don't think I heard right." I felt myself blushing.

"You heard." He smirked proudly in my direction. I watched as he picked up my teacup and some dishes and walked out to take them downstairs. I could feel he wanted me to follow him and confront him for that. But I couldn't I was too shocked.

'He has feelings for me?' I thought worriedly. 'I'm so messing round with this timeline. Time to open that window and bolt. Piccolo or no Piccolo I'm leaving before this gets out of hand.'

I slid the window open quickly and looked over my shoulder at the empty room and then turned round I jumped out the window and hoovered in the air for the moment and took to the sky fast. Placing two fingers to my forehead I located a ki and instant transmissioned there.

~*~*~*~

Piccolo stepped out of the forest and walked to the door he knocked on it calmly and smiled as Gohan opened it Trunks and Goten running round the lounge in a typical children hyper active moment.

"I thought I should inform you, Leona has climbed out the window and flown off somewhere."

"She what?" Gohan slapped his forehead. "I wish she didn't know how to fly it'd be easier to catch up to."

"You know mom says the same thing about you." Goten remarked stopping at Gohan's feet and Trunks slammed in to the back of Goten. The two of them by the force of Trunks slamming in to Gohan.

"You two stay here I'm going to go and get her. It's not safe especially not with her father out there." Gohan looked at Piccolo. "Which way did she go?"

"She used instant transmission Gohan but she headed in that direction." Piccolo motioned.

"The city. Figures." Gohan took to the air. Then paused and looked at Goten. "Tell mom I won't be gone too long."

"Okay." Goten replied cheerily.

Gohan took off flashing in to super saiyan to help his speed.

"Wanna stay for dinner mister Piccolo?" Goten asked.

"Nameks don't eat." Piccolo replied.

Trunks looked up at him. "Are all Nameks that green?"

Piccolo let out a cross between a sigh and a groan.

~*~*~*~

Gohan landed just outside the city flashing out of super saiyan he could sense Leona's power level in the middle of the city and he raced in to the city in a flash. He spotted her trying to obviously get out of a conversation with Videl. He watched as Eraser was staring in a shopping window while Sharpener was standing by obviously trying to back Videl up.

He decided to listen in for a while using his saiyan hearing.

"So you're staying with Gohan huh?" Eraser interrupted and looked at Leona.

"Sure." Lee replied. "I kinda don't mind, it's just I'm not used to a household like that. Makes me nervous."

"I know Gohan's hiding something." Videl spoke up. "What is it?"

"What's there to hide?" Lee replied. "We all have our secrets."

"And yours is?" Sharpener moved a bit to close for Gohan's liking and he was tempted to head over there and interrupt them.

Lee flicked her hair over her shoulder and looked directly at Sharpener. "Well might as well let you in on it. I eat my greens."

"That's a secret?" Videl obviously didn't think that was the secret.

"Must be some sort of girl thing." Sharpener remarked. "And perhaps if you were hanging round with popular kids you might have a chance at dating someone else."

"Dating?" Lee blinked. "I'm dating?"

"Yeah Gohan right?" Eraser questioned.

Lee nearly fell over in shock. "No I'm not."

"Denying is the first sign of truth." Sharpener smirked.

"How about I punch your lights out and deny that it ever happened? That'll show you how true I am?" She waved her fist at him.

Gohan couldn't help but smile she had a saiyan spirit according to Vegeta and that's where he saw it. He decided to interrupt and walked over.

"There you are."

He watched Lee cringe, she turned round and looked at him. "You know stalking is illegal." She remarked sharply.

"It's only stalking if we're not in the same household. Dinner's going to be ready shortly."

He watched her shoulder's slump. "You're being mister overprotective Gohan." She grumbled.

"No I'm not." He replied in his own defence. 'It's not safe.' He added in thought and caught her look, she heard him the whole mind thing obviously still freaked her out.

"Gohan quit that" She growled.

"Domestic." Sharpener grinned. "When you break up with Gohan then, you wouldn't mind-"

"Only when you cut your hair, surf boy. Even then you'd have to be next in line to Christian Slater."

"Lee c'mon." Gohan pulled her away and waved to Videl, Eraser and Sharpener. "See you guys."

Gohan pulled Lee round the corner. "What is wrong with you? You have your father out there somewhere and you're climbing out the windows sneaking off."

"If you hadn't of done that reading mind thing then I wouldn't of. What you said- thought it..." She let out a sigh.

Gohan blinked. "You weren't planning on coming back were you? You were actually running away."

"Yeah."

"It's true though." He said softly.

She looked down. "It can't be. I'm not going to be here long enough. Then when I leave..."

He was suddenly over her one arm round her waist and other holding her head up. Her eyes were looking up at him shocked, fear he could feel it, she was scared of showing any feelings to him. The kiss was sudden, and obviously expected, her arms slid round his neck as she pulled him down, he could feel she needed the comfort of someone. He was actually glad it was him rather than her crush on Yamcha.

They pulled out of the kiss reluctantly, her hand sliding down and placed against his chest she was looking at him, worried, shocked, stunned. So many emotions.

Gohan smiled. "I've been wanting to do that."

"You shouldn't of…" She shook her head.

"I know you feel the same way." He pointed out.

"I do and that will make it harder for when I go home Gohan. This isn't my world, I can't stay here, understand that."

"I do, but now, there's nothing wrong with now."
