Ch. 9

Gohan met his father half way through the hall that led to the living room where everyone had been sitting waiting for both Vegeta and him to show up so they could eat. He could've sworn that he had sensed Sakura, but it had been a faint raise of ki and he couldn't be very sure if it were true or not.

Goten had filled him in with the fact that their father had been back and Pan had been more than ready to hang herself from him in order to avoid Bra. He honestly didn't know if she actually knew she was doing that or if she did it subconsciously. He knew that his daughter felt nothing more than friendship for the princes' daughter. Yet she had agreed to be her `girlfriend' for reasons he could not fathom and though he worried for her, he knew she could take care of herself.

He was wondering if his instincts had been wrong, the alluring scent of Sakura marking him from the moment he set foot inside Capsule Corporation. Goten had seen to make a call to Videl's job so she would come over. She was after all his brother's wife. He and Videl really had given up. She couldn't understand him and he couldn't help his feelings. He hadn't fallen in love with her in the first place and he sometimes felt suffocated by their marriage. He had promised he would always be by her side and though sometimes duty called first, he had kept his promise so far. She had begun to meet with her old male friends and even though they hadn't really gotten a divorce, that was the last thing either wanted to do because of elections and she needed her career just like he needed his. So they helped each other out. But no one really knew that they planned on divorcing some day hopefully soon.

They were all chatting and eating in comfortable companionship when Bulma said something that pierced Gohan's heart hard.

"Where is Sakura by the way?" - everyone else was oblivious to Gohan's pain.

"How the hell should I know woman?"

"I wasn't asking you Vegeta. Do you know where she went Goku?"

"No. She left me in the gravity room about two hours ago, but she didn't tell me where she was off to."

"Do you have any idea where she might be?" - Bulma asked silently hoping that she would turn up at the last minute so she would get something to eat.

"I'll go fetch her Bulma-san." - Pan said quickly leaving the table before anyone could say otherwise.

Pan kind of knew where she was. It was instinct that had her looking for her in the Briefs' backyard.

"Sakura are you there?"

"<Grunt> What time is it?"

"We are eating dinner, do you want to come back with me to get something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry Pan. I just need some time alone if you don't mind."

"Ok. Are we going to spar tonight?"

"Uh-huh. I'll come and fetch you on my own. Go back to your family." - Pan couldn't see Sakura's face even in the dark but she nodded knowing somehow that she could see hers.

She left Sakura alone and returned to the kitchen where everyone was waiting. She sat down and began to eat again.

"Well?" - Bulma asked patiently.

"She said she wasn't hungry. Said she wanted some time alone." - Bulma sighed and Vegeta looked at Pan curiously.

"Sakura wanted sometime alone?" - he asked with wonder coating his tone of voice that made everyone stop eating again.

"That's what she said."

"Excuse me, I'll go see what's wrong with the wench." - Vegeta startled the whole table even Videl who had been there an hour before.

Goku rose too and followed Vegeta knowing that this was a good time to approach him about the `sex' deal. Bulma sighed again and wondered if the female was really not hungry or if she had been hurt by Vegeta's rude comments.

"Vegeta wait up." - he knew Vegeta would put up a distance between each other, but he didn't know that it would turn to this.

Sakura had been having a dream. Usually she didn't indulge on resting or eating, but tonight she had felt tired. It had been after all a very long day. In the dream she saw her father and her mother worrying deeply over there child who had several headaches. Some of them more terrifying to them than to her. The picture shifted to a long forgotten memory of her cradling the first Vegeta ever. The future she saw in him and the future of Vegeta-sei. She woke up startled as she felt the start of another dream, one that could bring everything down including the human race that Kakarott had sworn to protect.

The famine and the wars, the deserted areas and people dying made its way to her mind. It petrified her and it made her scream out her anguish in one silent cry as she stood up and did what they had told her hundreds of years ago that she would not be able to reach. She had turned into a super saiyan.

This was how Vegeta and Goku found her, a bright red light in the darkness of the Briefs' backyard. Vegeta not knowing what was going on shouted at her to stop, but Goku who had known a bit more of her past than anyone else, rushed to her side to hug her. She only calmed down when she opened her eyes and saw Gohan in front of her trying to calm her down as well as his father.

Sakura touched Gohan's cheek with the tip of her tail that sent an electrifying shock of energy towards him. He shuddered in response and sighed in relief as she floated back to a dreamless sleep as she drifted back to unconsciousness slumping into Kakarott's arms dejectedly.
