Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Requiem for Vegeta-sei ❯ 14 ( Chapter 14 )

Disclaimer: *stands at attention and salutes* I do not own Dragonball Z, sir!

A/N: Thanks to everyone who's reviewing, especially those who reviewed repeatedly! I really appreciate it! I love getting reviews…maybe that's why they call me the "Review Whore"!

Bulma stood there looking at her husband and his grown daughter. They really were not married but she always thought of them that way. It was kin of hard to obtain a marriage license when someone did not have any records (like a birth certificate) or even has a last name. I guess that would make the girl my step-daughter…this is still very strange…

"Woman, get the brat here some human clothes since she will be staying a while," Vegeta commanded. He then looked at Homini and smirked. "Don't forget to get her those women's under-things you are so fond of wearing."

Homini looked confused; she did not know what he had meant by that comment but she did not get a chance to ask her father about it. He quickly left to room and started towards the Gravity Chamber again. The girl looked at Bulma waiting for a response.

"Well, I see you and Vegeta have made up," the woman said somewhat cheerily.

"If you call beating the hell out of me and insulting my strength by calling me weaker than the son of a Third class making up," the young woman said cynically.

"Trust me, he called you 'brat', so I'd say you're on his good side."

There was a brief moment of silence as each woman was consumed with her own thoughts. Bulma began to take a good look at her new stepdaughter. She was about Vegeta's height, maybe slightly shorter. She had a decent figure, although more muscular than a human woman. She also noted what Vegeta had meant by getting her human under-things - much like her father, it was quite obvious that she wore nothing under her bodysuit.

"So, any specific style of clothing you would like me to get you?"

Homini eyed Bulma closely. She definitely did not like the bright colors and form fitting clothing that the woman wore. She had seen interstellar prostitutes dressed more modestly. "Nothing that looks like what you're wearing. And like I said to Vegeta, I don't need human clothes. I have my armor and that is all I need."
"I don't think you want to wear that sweaty body suit all the time," Bulma said knowing exactly how to get her into normal clothes. "I'll show you to the shower and take you're clothes to be washed. You can wear human clothes until your stuff is washed."

"Fine."

The Saiyan female followed the human woman to the bathroom where Bulma showed her how to work the faucets, where the towels were, and the soap and shampoo. While the girl was busy, the woman took the body suit away and laid out some of her old clothes to wear. The girl was a bit smaller than her but the articles should not be too extra big. The shorts were a bit tight on the woman but only because they had been shrunk in the wash not that Bulma had ever gained any weight. (a/n: riiiiiiight)

When Homini exited the bathroom and entered her new bedroom, she found what Bulma had left her. There was a white article of clothing lying on top of a pair of dark blue shorts. She assumed that one was to put the white thing on underneath the shorts, so she did. The shorts were of a stiffer material than she was used to wearing but they were soft. She noted somewhat pleasantly that Bulma had already cut a hole in the shorts for her tail to go through. She had to wrap her tail back around her waist to keep the shorts from dropping from her waist to rest on her hips.

There was a strange shaped white thing on top of the shirt laid out. She had no clue what it was so she did not put it on. Instead she just slipped on the blue tee shirt with the word "chick" on it. She assumed that it meant something interesting to humans but the meaning escaped her.

She quickly slipped on the socks that wear lying by a pair of Earth shoes. She shoved her feet into the shoes which were slightly too large. She tied them like she had seen some of the others had worn their shoes earlier and headed out of her room. She stopped momentarily to grab her scouter before exiting the room.

She made her way back outside for lack of a better thing to do. Looking at her scouter, she found the power levels that she assumed were Trunks and Goten. Putting the device back into her pocket, she headed in their direction. She walked there slowly, not really wanting to get there as quick as she would have if she were flying. It took her a good twenty minutes to walk through a small forest area and into a clearing. The boys were sparing with each other now. They were moving than she thought possible for half-breeds. They were actually quite good which made her curious as to what their power levels were. Taking out her scouter again, she was shocked to see that they were both working at a higher level than even she could reach.

"This thing must be broken…or maybe there is some gravitational force on this planet screwing up the readings…" she mumbled out loud.

Both boys then became aware of their visitor. Dropping to the ground, they approached the girl. Goten was the first to speak. "Hey, you look like a regular earthling!"

Homini just growled at the comment. Looking like an earthling was not high on her wish list. She did not get the chance to retort though because Trunks decided to cut in.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was laced with anger. "And why do I get the feeling that you will be staying for a while."
"For your information, I am staying on this mudball for a while. And that noisy earthwoman took my gear and gave me this to wear." She narrowed her eyes at the boys. "And as for right now, I am here because I was bored. Now, I'm just curious because my scouter doesn't seem to working."
Goten, still unfazed by her terseness, spoke again, "Why isn't it working?"

"It seems to be giving off the wrong numbers…it is telling me that you both are stronger than me. That can't be right, I'm a full-blooded First Class Elite and you both are half-breeds. And you are the son of a third class at that!"

Trunks smirked evilly at the Noble-born Saiyan. "There's nothing wrong with your scouter. We're both stronger than you. We weren't even powered up the whole way…want to see a demonstration of what real power is?"

Homini looked at him incredulously. "Sure, why not…it could be interesting."
Smirking again, the lavender haired boy looked to his best friend. "Shall we?"

The dark haired youth shrugged, "Why not."
Homini looked down at her scouter as the numbers began to rise quickly. Her eyes got wider and wider as the numbers soared. The device started beeping and then sparks flew from it. She dropped the hand-held machine and looked up at the boys. Their hair started to lift up and flicker gold as their eyes slowly lost their usual colors and turned to aqua. Instantaneously, both boys let out a scream as their hair settled into pure gold. Homini was speechless. She thought she knew what had just happened but her brain just would not let herself believe it.

"I see you are impressed by a couple of Super Saiyans!"

She blinked and just gaped at them for a moment. "That's…that's im…impos…impossible…"

Goten smiled at her in a classic Son grin, " Nope, Dad did it first on Namek and since then, all of us Saiyans on Earth can do it. Vegeta did it next and then Gohan did. Trunks and I have been able to go Super Saiyan since we were little kids."

"That is not true," the girl almost screamed. "There is no way that half-breed and a third class have all that power. I could believe if Vegeta could do it since he is of the Royal line…the untainted Royal line," she finished looking at her half-brother.

"Will you get off your high horse and look at reality for a minute?" The son of Vegeta said raising his voice. "You are really starting to piss me off!"

Trunks did not bother to power down when he turned around and flew off. Goten looked apologetically to the girl before taking off after his friend. Homini was left standing alone with her world yet again turned upside down. Kneeling down, she lifted her broken scouter up to examine it. It was broken beyond her ability to repair, which left her practically blind to the world around her.

"So you're the Royal Pain in the Ass's oldest spawn…" a deep voice boomed behind her.
