Heh heh heh!! I'm back an this is going to be my first DBZ fic! I've always wanted to write one ever since I got into writing. Enjoy the first chapter ^_^ . I've been so busy at school and also lazy, that I haven't written much lately.

Disclaimer: The Dragon Ball Z characters do not belong to me (even though I wish I did) but to Akira Toriyama. But the characters you've never in your life heard of, however, are mine ^_^. So you can't sue me!! I kinda wish I owned DBZ though…aw well, you can't have everything! -_-

"Talking"

'Thinking'

(me interrupting)

~The Past~

Part I

"Daddy! Daddy! Don't let them take me!" Katriana cried, as two of Frieza's henchmen, Zarbon and Dodoria, took her away.

"You two leave her alone!" Bardock threatened, "She's just 3! What would Frieze want with a little girl!?"

"That's his business. And it's Lord Frieza to you!" Zarbon sneered in reply. (Don't you just hate formalities!) (Vegeta: I sure don't **snickers**) (Duh! You're a frickin prince, stupid head!) (Vegeta: **growls**) (Err…On with the story!)

"Daddy!" Katriana begged with tears in her eyes.

Bardock prepared himself to attack when Zarbon stopped him.

"Take one more step, Bardock, and your daughter dies!" threatened Zarbon.

"You wouldn't dare!"

"I would! Besides, Lord Frieza said if there was any sign of struggle, I was to kill her," Zarbon said, clearly enjoying himself.

"no!"

"Move one more step and you'll get a dead daughter. Got it?!" said Dodoria, clutching Katriana tightly.

Bardock growled in anger, helpless to save his own daughter. He couldn't fight Dodoria and Zarbon himself, for he knew that they were both stronger than him. Katriana was his only daughter and one of the remaining of his three children. Raditz was working for Frieza, like he was, (and he sure is mean!) (Raditz: I am not!) (Wanna keep arguing or get on with the story?) (Raditz: **sighs** go on) taking over planets for Frieza. Kakarot was sent to Earth as a baby to destroy the people of Earth 4 years ago. A year later, Katriana was born and he made a promise that he would protect her no matter what. So, he had to let her go, for now. (You know, for her safety) Otherwise, Zarbon and Dodoria would kill her.

"I'm sorry Katriana. You're going…to have…to go with them," he said regretting the words as soon as he said them.

"Daddy? Otosan?" she said and stopped struggling, "I don't wanna go. I wanna stay with you."

"I know, honey. But there is no other choice. I'm sorry. I'll come visit you, ok?" he said, softly. "And behave yourself." (Uni: dear Katriana can be trouble **eyes twinkle evilly**)

"Ok," she sniffed. "Promise?"

"Enough talking! Let's go!" Zarbon said and grabbed Katriana's wrist.

"Ow! You're hurting me!" cried Katriana as she was being dragged away.

"Katriana! Katy!" Bardock yelled after her.

"Daddy!" shrieked Katriana and then she was gone.

"Argh! I don't believe this!"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Zarbon pushed Katriana into a room where someone sat, waiting for her. (you know, in that float thingamajig ^_^)

"Hello, my dear," Frieza welcome.

"…Who are you?" asked the little girl.

"I am Lord Frieza," he replied.

"I know you. You're strong. Stronger than my daddy," she said.

"That's right. I am the strongest being in the universe," he said. (**scoffs and snickers**) (All the character in DBZ: Will you let these people read!) (yes'm! **salutes**)

"Cool!" she exclaimed and clapped her hands together, "Can you teach me some of your tricks?"

"Humph…" frowned Frieza, glaring at her, "I will not teach you some of my tricks…!!"

"Why!?" whined Katriana.

"…Because I will teach you everything I know," he finished.

"Yay!!" she cheered. She ran around the room happily, until Zarbon caught her by the collar.

"Your 1st lesson will be to change into something more decent than those horrible clothes you are wearing."

"I like these," she said, looking down at her raggedy clothing. She was wearing a dress and its color had not yet faded away. It was the color black.

"But I do not! Dodoria! Bring this girl proper clothes!" ordered Frieza.

"But…"

"Are you arguing with me, Mr. Dodoria?!"

"Uhh…no."

"Then do it!"

"Yes, my lord." He bowed.

Dodoria left the room and to the lockers room to get Katriana's clothes.

"Mr. Frieza?" Katriana said.

"What!?" he demanded.

"Can my otosan visit me? I miss him already," she said in a cute, innocent voice.

"We will see."

"Okie." She smiled in a way where any evil fiend would turn sick, if they had seen the smile.

"Zarbon, bring Prince Vegeta in," ordered Frieza.

"Yes, m'lord."

Zarbon left, just as Dodoria came back with Katriana's change of clothes. A girl name Hanna, who seemed to be 14 years old, showed Katriana where to change and later they were back in the room where the all-powerful Frieza were waiting for them. Except that this time, a boy who was 6 years old, was with them. And he had an evil smirk to his face also.

"Ah! Katriana! We've been waiting," said Frieza, "I would like you to meet someone."

"Is that him?" asked Katriana, pointing towards the boy.

"Why, yes. This is Prince Vegeta," Frieza introduced, "For your training, at least part of it, you will be following him and you will also be training with him."

"Sir, I still don't know why I have to have a partner, let alone this little girl!" he retorted.

"Hush, Vegeta, I have my reasons and if I wanted you to know my business, I would've told you," said Frieza angrily.

"Yes, sir. Didn't mean to make you angry," apologized the Prince.

"Hmph. Vegeta, you may continue your training, except you have to go with Katriana here," said Frieza.

"Hai. As you wish," Vegeta bowed. (I thought he was royalty?) (Vegeta: I am!) (Then. Why'd you bow?) (Vegeta: I don't want to get blown up!) (**thinks** good point**) (Vegeta: **sighs**) He turned to the three year old and growled, "Come on, brat." He exited the room and she went after him.

"If I may ask, sir," said Zarbon, "Why do you need her?"

"Because there is something special about her," Frieza replied, "She will be the greatest warrior who will serve under my rule!"

Zarbon bowed. "Sugureta, m'lord."

Frieza, Dodoria, and Zarbon laughed evilly in the dim lit room, their laugh echoing throughout the ship.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

'Why would Frieza want me to train this 3rd class, onna?' thought Vegeta angrily.

He was walking towards the training center that was two buildings away. Katriana was behind him, skipping as she followed him, and waving at everyone she saw. The Saiyan Prince already hated the girl for her cheerfulness and knew that he might be stuck with her for the rest of his shimatta life. A few skipping and hello's later, the two saiyans arrived at the training center.

They went inside and Katriana said, "I don't know why Frieza wants you to train me either."

Vegeta turned to her and asked in his usual tone we all know and love, "What are you talking about, onna?"

"You said you didn't know why Frieza wanted you to train a 3rd class saiyan onna, remember?" she said in a kawaii voice.

Vegeta looked at the 3 year old in shock. "You heard me thinking that?"

She nodded furiously. "And I'm not an onna. I'm an onna no ko."

'This girl is smart,' he thought. 'I wonder if Frieza knows about this.'

"Arigato!" she cried, jumping, "Mr. Frieza probably doesn't know!"

"Stop listening to my thoughts!" he shouted.

"Gomen. I can't help it!"

"Vegeta looked at her once more and said, "I'll help you control your power if you promise me that you won't tell anyone about this."

"Ok!"

"Then, let us spar," he said.

"Ok!" Then, she paused and looked at him with a cute face, "What's that?" He groaned and fell over. (anime style!!!)
