Chapter 5- Your blood in Mine

Disclaimer: I own nothing…you can't sue me so Hah! I do own all of the DBZ movies on DVD though….does that count?

The ride back to Capsule Corp was a quiet one. Vegeta had been so flustered by her threat to go on a date with his son that he was dumbstruck. `Why do I even care? If the onna wants the brat, let her have him.' He sighed softly and glanced at her. `Who am I trying to fool? I do care.'

Athena watched the scenery roll by them as they drove home. Reaching over, she turned on the radio. She flipped through the stations until she finally found a song she liked. As the words started, Athena began to harmonize with them perfectly in a clear soprano voice. "You fell away, what more can I say/ the feelings evolved, I won't let it out/ I can't replace your screaming face/ feeling the sickness inside…"

Vegeta sat in awe. `The onna must be good at everything. If she's half that good at being a warrior, training will be fun…'

She looked over at him and almost laughed. Athena wondered if he knew about his slack jawed expression. "…Why won't you die? / your blood in mine/ we'll be fine/ then your body will be mine…"

Her singing stopped as they pulled into the driveway. Turning off the ignition, Vegeta kicked himself for getting home so soon and got out of the car. Athena reached into the backseat, grabbed her bags, and got out, walking towards the front door.

Vegeta sped up his pace to catch up with her. As she opened the door, he took the bags and carried them inside. She gave him a grateful smirk and set Baka down.

Trunks walked into the living room silently and smiled as he saw Athena. "Oh good, you're back. I was wondering…would you like to go on a date with me tonight?"

She looked at Vegeta and noticed that his left eye was twitching. Not returning her gaze to the younger Saiyan, she answered. "Trunks, as much as I would like to, I already have plans. Your father and I arranged to train together." Athena caught Vegeta out of the corner of her eye, smirking in triumph.

"Of course Athena, perhaps another time." Trunks kissed her hand and left before anything else could be said. She watched him as he strolled away and shook her head.

"The brat needs to find a girl."

She looked to the source of the voice and raised an eyebrow. `Why does he seem so…uncaring about the whole thing?" Rolling her eyes, she turned her back to him. "Whatever Vegeta, do what you need to do and get ready to get your ass kicked. I'll meet you in the backyard in twenty minutes." With that, she walked upstairs to get ready.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vegeta meandered up the stairs after he got things put away. `Stupid onna…it's her dog and I'm putting his toys away.' As he walked by her room, he heard that voice again, this time singing a harder song. It was one that Trunks seemed rather fond of. `That's…poem I think.'

He walked closer and noticed her door was cracked. Pushing it open a bit, he looked inside and smirked at what he saw. There was Athena, dressed in a training suit much like his, though more feminine, dancing around singing as she pleated her hair. He strained to hear her melodic voice and met his goal. "Overbearing panic attacks entrenching my veins/ in an hour I'll be ok I pray this pain will go away permanently someday/ I've seen more than I should have to I've seen this on my own…"

He shook his head as he walked away with a smirk still plastered on his face. He walked into his own room to get ready. `She's sexy when she does that…'

~~~~~~~~

As promised, when he walked out of the back door about 20 minutes later, there stood Athena stretching. Her long red hair shined in the sunlight as she got ready. She noticed Vegeta and smirked. Without saying a word, she dropped into a fighting stance.

"What do you say onna, no ki blasts? I think it would only be fair…to you that is."

Her smirk became even more sinister as he spoke. "You talk big Vegeta…but can you back it up?" Immediately, she sent a small ki blast from her right index finger at his foot. Vegeta, of course, dodged it with ease.

A slight growl escaped his lips as he ran towards her to engage her in battle. They started exchanging punches and kicks for what seemed like forever before Athena finally landed a good punch to his chest, sending him flying backwards. He sent a ki attack her way and she dodged it. Again they engaged each other but this time, Vegeta bashed Athena in the jaw. She was sent to the ground.

Getting up slowly, her temper started to rise, as did her ki. With a growl, her hair turned golden and her eyes, blue. Vegeta smirked. "So, you are a super Saiyan…no matter, you're still no match for me." He quickly transformed and they began to battle again.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Goku looked up from his meal. Chichi looked at him as she started to get worried. "What is it Goku? Please tell me that nothing's wrong…"

He shrugged and went back to his lunch before replying. "Vegeta's power level rose substantially and there's another high level…female…I'm guessing that it's Athena. If not, we'll find out soon enough... My gods Chi, this food is great."

~~~~~~~~~

Athena went flying backwards with a grunt of irritation. `I know I'm by no means the strongest Saiyan…but I should be doing better than this.' Flinging herself back to her feet, she ran quickly towards Vegeta, only to skid to a halt as he powered up a ki ball in his hand.

She watched him, ready to defend herself before he smirked. "Still want to go on a date with my worthless son?" She shrieked in annoyance and threw a powerful blast at him. He batted it away as if it were a mosquito and let his own attack leave the sanctity of his hand. Not expecting it, it hit her square in the chest, knocking her to the ground. Her hair slowly turned back into its normal blaze red color as she lost consciousness.

He grumbled slightly and sighed. "For a female, you did well onna. I'm surprised you lasted this long." He leisurely walked over to her and picked her up. Tossing her over his shoulder gently, he took her into the house. He stopped in the kitchen to grab a sensu bean and continued on his way to her bedroom. Pitching her on the bed unceremoniously to wake her up, he watched as her emerald eyes fluttered open.

A soft "Ouch" escaped her lips before handed her the sensu bean. Looking at him, confused, he sighed. "Open your mouth put it in and chew it." She did as she was told. Almost immediately she started to feel better.

She sat up in her bed and swatted him as hard as she could. As he started to growl, she returned the gesture. "You had no right to hit me with that, you knew I wasn't ready-" To shut her up, he quickly pressed his lips to hers. What he didn't expect…was to like it.
