Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Lost ❯ Xenia who? ( Chapter 16 )
Chapter 16………
"…Xenia, you could say was much like Goku……"
"She was naïve and childish?"
Chichi frowned at me, "At times she could be, and it was appropriate considering she was a CHILD, but……"
"But what?"
Chichi gazed off out the window, her neck seemingly in an uncomfortable position considering the window was on the ceiling. "…but she could be serious and act as if she was already fourteen or sixteen. She understood a lot, more than Goten and even Trunks did."
"She was smart?"
"Oh yes….and very gifted with art. Before the World Martial Arts Tournament she had been working on a portrait of Goku…..she had stolen a picture of him," Chichi chuckled. "It was a rare photo, he was wearing one of his few outfits, and its not often that he doesn't wear his gi, so I guess she found it intriguing. I saw it when she had finished drawing the portraiture, and there was quite a likeness. She was only seven, yet her talents with art were astounding….." Chichi trailed off, and smiled at the fond memories of her daughter.
I shifted ever so slightly, figuring this was going to be a LONG conversation, "Why was she doing a portrait of Goku?"
Chichi grimaced, "Goku had `credit' you could say for saving the Earth so many times, so they allowed him come back for one day. It was her first time, as well as Goten's, to meet him. She had wanted to give him a present. She was always fascinated with Goku. She even added an intriguing appendage to her portraiture of him, because of Gohan?"
"Why?"
"A couple of days before the tournament, Goten and Xenia were becoming quite inquisitive and decided to continuously badger Gohan with questions about their father, not that he minded…..they had just finished sparing when, according to Gohan, Goten asked what Goku was like. Gohan had simply stated that their father was like an angel, the children not knowing what one was asked him about it and concocted up a interesting depiction of him..."
FLASHBACK
"Gohan?"
I looked over at Goten as he addressed Gohan.
"Ya?"
"What is our father like?"
"Oh, ya that's right. You two never met him."
We shook our heads and waited impatiently for Gohan to answer. Gohan looked up into the sky for a moment and smiled. THAT LOOK appeared on his face again, that far-off searching gaze that would sometimes last for hours. As if he were searching for something he already knew, but couldn't relate to us.
"He's an….. an angel."
"An angel?"
I cocked my head to the side in confusion, "What's a angel?"
"I don't know, " said Gohan, "All that I know is that you feel happy when they're around."
A picture came to mind of a man with majestic wings that sprouted from his back. He had a golden halo that hovered over his spiky hair, making him appear even more noble than in his pictures.
I smiled, "I hope he has wings…"
END OF FLASHBACK
The image passed through my mind without my consent, somehow I was in this….memory. Those boys Gohan and Goten were in it as well…..Goku's offspring……
"….Xenia always had this idea that Goku had-"
"…wings," I interrupted unconsciously, still reeling over the sudden images that had admitted themselves into my mind. Chichi looked over at me curiously, "How did you know that. Did you guys monitor our conversation between each other as well?"
I clutched my head in my hands, trying to make the images more clear, there was more to this….I just couldn't…..I couldn't see it all. There seemed to be a barrier between me and those hazy illustrations, that seemed so familiar.
"Xenia?"
I looked up at Chichi slightly confused with what was going on, "What?"
"I asked, how do you know Xenia thought Goku would have wings."
"It just sounds so familiar to me," I said as I clutched my head with my right hand as I leaned on my elbow. "I don't understand why, but I knew that….I had…." I growled in frustration as a dull pain began to reside in my head, "…..I had said that to Gohan, I saw it in my mind…."
FLASHBACK
I watched Gohan as he began to retaliate against Goten and let his fist go flying at his face. It hit Goten straight in the jaw and he went flying into the ground; his hair returning to its jet black color. I ran over to him and helped him up.
"You ok?"
"Ya, I'm fine," said Goten placing his hand behind his head, Son style.
Gohan went over to us, "Is Goten all right?"
"Ya, he's fine…just some scratches here and there."
"I think we should cool it for today, alright?"
"Sure, I already trained with Vegeta earlier," I said indifferently
"Vegeta?!"
"Ya, I know….Is she crazy or what?" said Goten
I frowned and smacked him on the head.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"For being such a baka!"
"I am not a baka!"
"Are too!!"
"Are not!!"
"Are!!"
"Not!!"
"QUIT IT!"
We stared in dis-believement at Gohan; he never raises his voice.
"Dang Gohan….."
"Sorry, but do you two have to fight so much?"
"Hey its not like we hate each other, we're just playing."
"Ya, Gohan. Lighten up…."
Gohan shrugged his shoulders in defeat and fell back onto the grass …….
END OF FLASHBACK
"Goten and Gohan were sparing, while I watched from the ground…..Gohan punched Goten and he went plummeting to the ground and detransformed……I ran over to him to make sure he was ok, and Gohan was….worried……."
I could sense Chichi slowly crawling over to me, and I gazed up at her. She had a shocked expression on her face. The pain in my head grew, and I clutched onto it tighter….
"…..I got mad with Goten and started arguing with him…Gohan got……irritated and told us to stop….."
Chichi stared at the girl in amazement. How had she known all this? They hadn't of gone that in depth with the information regarding them, did they?

Kavar leaned back in his chair, as he slowly drank some cholkue. (A/N: REALLY STRONG coffee)
He had been up all night working on a new project, and right when he decided to retire for the night, Xenia's units go berserk. He hoped that would never happen again, he never planned on how hard it would be to reset them and clear away any memories that had arisen. Suddenly, an alarm went off, and he fell out of his chair, spilling the searing cholkue all over him.
"DAMMIT!!" He cursed as he flung the cup at the wall in anger. He picked up his chair and sat back down. The computer was flashing…..
"OH SHIT!!" yelled Kavar as he got up and took off to room 256…….
<Multiple breaches in units 56, 98, and 70. Patient becoming unstable.>(A/N: <> Writing on computer….)

The pain was becoming more and more intense, "AHHHH!" I cried out in agony, "MAKE IT STOP!!" It felt like my head would explode any second from now. Chichi looked intently at Xenia's face, even though Xenia had threatened to kill her and her family she felt her heart being wrenched at the site of the girl being in so much pain, but it all seemed…oddly familiar…..Chichi racked her brain, and then it dawned on her. This made her remember when her Xenia had been sick that day and died. Oddly enough their faces looked alike, and the pain…….it seemed to be the same. Suddenly, the door swung open, right as Chichi was about to reached out to her. Four men herded themselves inside and ran over to Xenia; picking her up roughly they carried her out of the cell. Chichi didn't even flinch as the door was slammed shut so hard that the shingles slightly cracked. The men had been in a hurry and didn't even try to conceal their strength. But why were they so worried, Xenia hadn't of notified them of her condition….at least Chichi didn't think so……But she couldn't help but have her thought stray to a impossible postulation that burrowed itself deep into her mind…..She looked so much like her……and she described those events claiming she was her Xenia……..it just didn't make sense..…..

Xenia's memories are coming back, but what are these men going to do to her?
