Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Rebirth of Family ❯ The End ( Chapter 14 )

Soon after that fateful day involving his sister, Vegeta decided that it would be best to leave the planet and return home. There was nothing left for him there as he was king of a fake nation. His “people” had all been in on the elaborate scheme. They were all Lord Zennion's minions.

“We'll be home in a day. Stop pestering me Kakarot.” Goku was being his usual self. He hated being cooped up on a spaceship.

 

“But Vegeta! You never told us what happened with that Zennion guy. I didn't see a body, so I only assumed that you…”

 

“There was no body because I didn't kill him you idiot! He got away!” Vegeta snapped and stormed out of the room leaving Goku staring after him in shock.

 

“Bulma, that's not right. That monster got away after what he did to Vegeta and his sister.”

 

“I know Goku, but I'm sure he had his reasons.” Bulma gave Goku a quick hug before she followed after Vegeta.

“Fuck, why do these things always happen to me?” Vegeta was on his bed staring at the tattered picture of Leiko again. Suddenly he was filled with rage as he remembered what she had become. He yelled out as he ripped the picture and threw it across the room. He snapped his head towards the door as it opened slightly.

 

“Vegeta, honey, do you want to talk?” Bulma walked in and sat beside the saiyan.

 

“Why would I want to talk Woman?” Vegeta suddenly felt uncomfortable on the bed and got up. He slowly walked towards the small window and gazed out in an effort to avoid her eyes.

 

Bulma found the torn picture and tried to put it back together. “Vegeta, you just killed your sister and the one responsible for all of this got away. You have lots to talk about.”

 

“Yeah, I killed Leiko, so what? There was no way I could let her live knowing what she had become. And Zennion got away not because I let him. He ran like a coward while I was busy with Leiko. Scum like that is hardly worth my time and energy.” Vegeta still refused to turn around and face Bulma.

 

“So, you're just going to let him get away with what he did? Vegeta, that asshole is still out there; free to do the same to another unsuspecting being. You have the opportunity to go after him.” Bulma left the bed and slowly walked over to Vegeta. “Take advantage of it.”

 

Bulma attempter to wrap her arms around him, but he shied away from her touch. “That is none of my concern. We are going home and forgetting that this ever happened. Now, get out.” Vegeta pointed to the door without turning around. Bulma silently obeyed his wishes as she sadly looked up at him. If Vegeta had have turned around while she was still there, he would have revealed the tears that were beginning to form.

The group arrived home to a welcoming crowd, except for ChiChi, who immediately ran over to Goku and began yelling at him for being gone for so long.

 

“Bulma honey! I'm so glad you're home!” Her mom ran towards her and began showering her with kisses. Vegeta got a disgusted look on his face and decided to escape before he suffered the same fate.

 

“I need food.” Vegeta grunted as he strolled toward the kitchen.

 

Bulma looked after him and remembered what she was supposed to do. “Mom, can you say hi to Trunks and Bra for a minute. I have to take something to my room right away.” She didn't even wait for a response before breaking free from her mother's grasp.

Vegeta walked into the bedroom, thankful that the day was over. There was only so much lovey stuff he could stand and that line had been crossed long ago. He sat on the edge of the bed and went to set his alarm to wake him up for his early morning workout when something caught his eye. The torn picture of his sister had been mended and was now in a frame with a note resting on it. He slowly picked up the note, already knowing who had written it.

 

“Vegeta, I know that you want to forget, but don't do that. You may have not liked what she had become, but she was still your sister. Remember the good times you had as children. Remember her for her strength. Honor her memory. She died in battle, and honorable saiyan death. Don't let her memory fade, Bulma.” He set the note down and picked up the picture. The smiling young girl looked back up at him. Vegeta smiled slightly as he set the picture back down on the night stand where it would now stay. “Thank you Bulma,” he whispered before falling asleep. He would never forget Leiko.
