Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Truthfully Yours ❯ Staring at the sun ( Chapter 19 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z/GT. Any other characters mentioned below are mine.

A/N: Yup! It's me again. I'd like to thank those few who review and those who even look at my story. Doesn't mean that I don't want the reader to not review, I do. I just wish that if people like it they would keep coming back to see it and read it and maybe one day review and tell me what they think.

To Tomoyo-chan1, I will finish the Goku and Vegeta get together in between the next two chapters <I hope> so be patient with me. I also have to finish the plot, so bear with me.

Ch. 19

Sakura sat in front of the fire contemplating her choices. It had been two very hard months but with the joining of Trunks and Goten and other saiyans coming along the way. A lot had happened since the last time she had sat in an open field on any planet trying to stay out of trouble. She rarely needed to make time to be alone because the fact was that she was always alone. Now that was an obvious none existent possibility. Something had definitely gone wrong with the time continuum because now she had a brat tagging her along. She didn't know how it really happened, but after making some sort of peace with Bren and ending back on earth with no exact memory as to why was a four year old genius with long spiky hair looking like hers once did and calling her mom for a while.

She remembered briefly then with a groan that in order for her to have a daughter she had to go to bed with a man who loved her and who she loved in return. And that's where Gohan comes into the scene. Due to references not researched enough, she remembered when Gohan had made it very clear to her that he and his wife were thru a long time ago. She didn't really seem to understand why did he need to defend himself to her, but he did so anyway. It was night, when his supposed to be wife came to see her. She seemed to be looking a little distraught and Sakura at first thought that she was going to plea her to stay away from Gohan but what Videl did next was not something she really knew how to handle. Videl let out an exasperated sigh and sat down next to Sakura and went on talking saying that she didn't mean to do that, but it shocked her so much that Gohan had lied. It turned out that he hadn't really meant to lie. But she understood and said to Sakura that she just hoped she would treat him right. Then she left her alone to think.

Another being had called her at that exact moment and she had left not really expecting anything to come from meeting Gohan. She met up with Yoi to find that many of the other planets in the galaxy understood the need to pledge allegiance to the Saiyan Throne or face their doom. Which ever that was.

"Looking good saiyan." - said Yoi prince warrior of a planet called Hoi.

"Yoi." - she answered. Then: "What do you want me for?"

"Asking for a favor."

"What kind of a favor?" - she sneered at him and all the warrior prince did was chuckle.

"Not that saiyan. I want to see your king."

"Oh." - she paused and began to think.

"Is it possible saiyan?" - he queried when she continued to be silent.

"I'll see what I can do. But Vegeta-sei hasn't been reborn yet, why do you want to see the King?"

"To see if my people could survive the renewal of Vegeta-sei."

"How do you know they are even alive?" "Yoi?" - she queried him.

"That saiyans are being reborn and that they suddenly disappear into thin air? We saw a couple of them waking up from their tombs with renewed strength and were wondering if some demon was going to kill us all using them as their puppets."

"<Smirk> what did they said when asked what was going on?"

"They looked at us and said they weren't going to kill anyone. Just that they were going to go to Earth and that they needed a ship to take them to." "It was bizarre, they didn't fight us and they didn't say anything after that. So, we gave them a ship and they left us alone. From the look on your face, I'd say they haven't arrived yet to Earth."

"Hn. It doesn't matter; none of the other planets need to fear them anyway. They have been ordered by their gods not to damage anyone until the fight is over."

"So, I was right. The fight is between the great Kai's and your gods." - he gave a low whistle and then they broke apart. She said nothing to him and just looked up to stare at the red sun in the warrior princes' planet.

<<Baby life is like a ride on the freeway>> Staring at the Sun by Offspring.

"Is something bothering you Sakura? We've been friends for awhile, I think you can trust me with whatever is bothering you."

She looked back at her only friend, a warrior prince that had been alive since she had saved his ancestor from dying thus saving him in the end and not one of the gods that were his acknowledge it. Which was why she hated all types of gods. Including those she served herself although she had never really seen them.

"Nothing is wrong with me, Yoi. I'll see what I can do to get you an audit with him." - with that she disappeared. It was later that she would find herself caught in the awaiting arms of Son Gohan.

Krillin made his grand entrance into Capsule Corporation by smashing right into Turles who he confused for his best friend of all times.

"Goku! Marron wasn't lying when she said you were back!" - then he hugged Turles who just looked down at him in utter and complete disgust.

"Let go of me ningen!" - said Turles as he pried himself off Krillin's hands who didn't really have a strong grip on him.

Krillin stumbled back into the awaiting arms of someone he never expected to meet up close and personal: Radditz. He yelped in response and stood on guard easily for someone who was in his late seventies.

"Uncle? There is really no need to kill unsuspecting humans, so please refrain from doing so until the brat is born, ok?" - with that he moved to hug his uncle and as they hugged the blond android known as Krillin's wife came into the room.

"Bulma is around here somewhere, you wait here while I go to find her." - she left him to sit on the couch while the two saiyans in front of him looked back at him finding his reserve funny.

The blue haired female came back to meet Krillin and found her eyes attaching themselves not to her oldest friend but to the male that looked a lot like her secret crush: Son Goku. She talked to Krillin instead and found him well, but she hesitated telling him the truth about the reason behind the reason as to why their friend was back.

"So, where is he?"

"You mean Goku? Ah… well, I'm not really sure, but if you come back I'm sure that-" - Krillin shook his head.

"I'm not going anywhere until I see Goku. I haven't seen him for ten years, I think it's fair that I see him now. I'll wait however much I have to see him, `cause I'm sure you know that I'm not getting any younger Bulma."

Bulma tried to veer him off from trying to see their friend but it was hard and Krillin was being stubborn. Just as he was about to give in, Goku's voice filled in the living room.

"IEE!" - and then everything was a blur.

One minute Bulma, Krillin and his wife 18 see Goku running away naked from a seemingly older version of himself who held a big needle in his hand, the next they see Vegeta naked himself as he stood between father and son as if protecting him from further damage, although no damage had been done as of yet.

Krillin's eyes widened at the scene before him and his face turned a dark hue that stood between green and purple. Bulma stood up between the three saiyans and said to each of them…

"Nobody is going to hurt you Son-kun. Vegeta, what are you doing here? And last, Mr. Bardock? Why are you trying to give Son-kun an injection?!"

Then there was another whirlwind as Lee stood in front of her grandfather Kakarott as if protecting him from further damage. Her hair was long and a spiky mess that resembled Kakarott's hairstyle a lot. Her eyes a fierce hue of dark blue and her height represented that of a six year old but to which she was in fact only a four year old.

"Lee? What did I tell you about doing things on your own?" - said a voice behind them all and time stopped for two minutes.

Krillin saw the tummy in his friend and knowing that his friend never slacked off in his training but also that he never gain weight. Then the kid on the floor. She looked barely more than six years old, but from what he could gather from sensing her ki, she was by far a bit more stronger than what he could sense and that was a lot. Then the other saiyan, he didn't know that there were female saiyans around in the universe, 'cause if there had been, they would have known about it. Unless… Unless Goku hadn't told them about it. And then the family reunion of sorts… Radditz had meant harm to Goku in the past, why was he back on Earth alive and why hadn't Goku killed him. Then the subject of the saiyan prince came up. That was what puzzled him the most. He was actually defending Goku and he wasn't doing it with insults to another, he was just standing there //naked// defending a //naked?!// Goku without qualms or a blush staining his cheeks at the prospect of someone else seeing him doing something as chivalrous as that.

"Before anyone goes off in different directions, I would like to know what the hell is going on right now!" - the request came from - surprisingly - Krillin's wife; 18.

Goku looked on to Krillin and said…

"Hey! I didn't know you were here Krillin! It's been awhile by the way." - he sat down on the floor completely forgetting that he was naked and it startled both Krillin and 18.

"Uh." - that was the only thing he could utter. Vegeta hadn't left his defensive stand and Krillin wondered briefly if he would ever stop looking like that.

"Baka." - the insult surprised both Krillin and 18 seeing as it didn't came from the saiyan Prince.

Goku turned to see Sakura standing next to him and blushed as he remembered why the ground seemed so cold. He stood up and was about to say something when Sakura handed him pants that seemingly came out of nowhere and she grabbed the kid's hand into her left gloved hand. He put them on without a shrug and only then did Vegeta turn to Sakura.

"Onna?" - he growled out warningly and she gave him a saiyan suit to him so he could get dressed but not without releasing a sigh.

Once the saiyan prince had covered himself he stood behind Goku as if protecting him from whatever could threaten him.

"I'll try to explain.." - Sakura was about to continue when her only daughter by the name of Lee jumped into Krillin's lip and kissed him!

"Lee!" - she cried out exasperated and decided that the only way she could keep the android from killing her only offspring was to think fast. But she didn't have to because Marron came in and grabbed her daughter by looking at her.

"Is this yours?" - she queried Sakura whilst her father recovered from something he considered as an experience he never wanted to have again.

18 looked on in amusement as her husband wiped his mouth with his sleeve at the obvious passionate kiss the kid had just given him. But she wasn't jealous or angry, she was just trying to sort her thoughts and the information she had been given by her daughter the night before they came to Capsule Corporation.

"I will beat the fuck out of you brat if you defy me again, understood?" - Lee didn't even blink, but through her parent-child bond, Sakura knew she was trying very hard not to cry.

Satisfied that the brat had listened, she said: "With the type of information you've been given, I'm surprised that you haven't made a run for it."

To which 18 responded: "I was told before hand about this new turn of events by my daughter and even though this was something I didn't expect, I am not shocked by it."

Vegeta snorted in response and his mate just smiled in return. He and Vegeta had gotten to an agreement. Of course, `Kakarott' didn't really ask for the agreement, but seeing as both their sons had joined they needed to get along even if it reached the primary level.

"So you know, huh?" - Bardock said out loud.

"Know that my husband's best friend is saiyan, that he has come back to fulfill the part of his destiny that had not been structured yet? I know more than anyone else in this planet. And I know this just by watching, always watching. Just like Gohan's green guy did. To which all I have to say, is good riddance." - and with that she shut up.

"Nice. I like your mother Marron. We could get to be great friends, but don't worry; I won't try to." - Sakura gave a chuckle and then turned to Bardock: "What do you intend to do with that needle?"

"He still hasn't eaten breakfast so I thought?"

"Thought that he needed a dose of chemicals? I don't think so." - said Sakura again.

"The brat-!" - she shook her head as if saying that it wouldn't do.

"He eats ten times a day, he doesn't need more energy in his body. Besides the brat is not fully grown yet, so I think it'd be best if you don't do anything to upset him."

Bardock groaned out frustrated that when he wanted to exact his orders upon his own brats, but Sakura being the bitch that she was was not letting him do things as he wanted to. Which in the extreme back of his mind, he admitted to himself that maybe it was for the best.

He turned to his right and found his youngest brother Turles grinning madly at him. He glared at him and then hugged him fiercely their tails twining together in a show of deep understanding. Unlike Bardock, Turles had never died and here he was standing in front of him pledging his allegiance to the saiyan king and his own nephew Kakarott. Even if the brat didn't really want to acknowledge the bond.
