Chapter Four: Long forgoten secrets; newfound friends


Rai-en had flown through the vast city simply observing the people down below. So this was "Earth", it was so much different and yet at the same time similar to back home. It was busy and loud, teeming with all sorts of people doing who knows what. There were so many buildings and moving vehicles. As she looked around more she admired the lush plant life and the wild animals. So beautiful this place was so far...she hoped it was all like this she wouldn't mind being here after all. That was a mystery yet to be solved; why exactly had her father insisted they come here? He was so secretive and kept to himself alot that is when she wasn't in his company at least. Well whatever his motives she assumed it had nothing to do with her and that it was just something he needed to get out of the way.
She stopped flying and began to decend to the ground now, walking casually amongst the rest of the world. "I could get used to this..." she thought out loud. Just as voices could be heard right around the corner, she took to the air again but this time sat atop a low building watching curiously. The Zteens: Bra, Pan, Marron, Trunks and Uub, came strolling down the sidewalk together, chatting noisily and were headed for the mall. Rai-en observed the way they were dressed, and listened to their conversation eagerly. The majority of them looked about her age and seemed friendly enough. Yet it was something else about them that intrigued her; each and every one of them had an exceptionaly high powere reading and thier ki's were right up there with them. She compared them to those of the other city people and knew that they were set apart from the rest. Well with that in mind she had to meet them now.
She jumped down from the roof of that building and landed on her feet right in front of the group, stopping them dead in thier tracks. Goten and Trunks, jumpingot conclusions immediately stepped out in front of the rest of the group and asserted themselves.
"Who or what are you and what do you want?!" They glared menacingly at her assuming she posed a threat to them as usual.
Rai-en backed up a few steps and put up her gaurd, not knowing if they were a danger to her or not. Yet she still made the effort to be friendly. Their power may have been higher than possibly her own but they didn't seem to be the type to fight just anyone they met.
She began small conversation; "Gomen-nasai, I didnt mean to startle you I was watching you from the roof and thought perhaps I could just meet you. Im new to town...in fact i'm new to this whole place and wanted to find someone who wouldn't run away screaming in fear." she gave a small smile hoping that they would come around.
It figures that Bra would be the one to give in and be friendly, it came from her mother more than anything seeing Vegeta would have been forceful by now. She put on her sweetest smile and introduced herself to the strange yet seemingly harmless and polite girl.
She pushed her way tot he front of the group, but shoving Trunks and Goten aside. "Don't mind them we're just used to viewing strange visitors as possible threats...but then most of them never tried to make friends with us before. The name's Bra..." She turned to face the other teens now, "and they're all friends." She pointed to trunks and Goten, who now had expressions of both confsion and disbelief for what she was doing. "Those two are, my brother Trunks, and his good friend Goten." Next she pointed to random people introducing them as well.
Rai's gaze was still fixed on Goten for some reason. She studied his features and his whole self carefully, yet somewhat longlingly. He was rather attractive, in a cute, innocent but probably deadly type of way. She snapped out of her little trance when Trunks killed the mood. He had been quietly observing her and noticed the fact she was not only wearing a similar type of armor as his father with the exception of the fact it was less for battle then it was for appearence seeing how it bore the royal family symbol on it. This and one other thing confirmed who or rather what she was, her tail and the armor proved she wasn't human but rather a saiyan.
"You're a saiyan! There's no way!" He pointed this out to the rest and Bra only got that much more excited. But Rai-en was shocked to know they had knowledge of her people. "HUH! How do you know?!"
Their moment of introductions was cut short by a few shrill cries as a crowd began to form gasping and bewilderd by the strange girl's presence. "We'll explain later...right now let's find you something a little less suspicious." Seeing this and thinking quickly, Bra grabbed her by the arm as her and the rest, ducked for cover in the nearest clothing shop. ****
Vegeta and Bulma brought Veruco back to Capsule Corp. with them, hoping to settle some of the confusion. Vegeta stood at the front of the living room with Bulma at his side. Veruco faced his brother as he began to tell a rather long story.
"Okay, here's what happened. Our father, the king, had decided not to tell anyone about his having another son, not even you. For fear of Frieza finding out. He couldn't trust anyone. Only problem was, that somehow that baka Zarbon and two others of his men had found out. With that knowledge they took matters into their own hands. I was only five at the time when they kidnapped me and used me in their own personal training program. Of course once Frieza's plan to destro our home planet was set. They left me for dead, hoping to get rid of me with the rest. Unknowingly to them, a few of us managed to escape before hand, to another planet. Eventually some couldn't survive it so it was just a couple of us left, myself included. ; Just recently there was a new planet created, in the image of the former planet Vejitasei. I have been residing there, but due to the fact I was basically the only saiyan left besides one other, I wasn't exactly popular aming the other residents. The only thing that kept them from making short work of me was that I was by fault the rightful crownprince, since you weren't around not to mention thought to be dead. I left to seek you out after hearing word of you having come to this planet last after never hearing anything more from you."
That was an earful, yet Vegeta didn't budge from his position. Bulma only watched him in deep interest, amazed he could ever be so calm after hearing something like that. She still remained close to his side, now with one hand running smoothly down his back.
That seemed to catch Veruco's interest. "Not to be rude, but what's the deal with the two of you? Is she__" & nbsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; & nbsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; & nbsp; Vegeta cut him off abruptly. "Yes...the onna is with me, baka. You have a lot to learn. Now then, are there any more surprises I should know about?" & nbsp; &n bsp; &nbs p; ; Veruco quickly responded, "Well there is one thing I have failed to mention. I have__" He stopped in mid-sentence as heard the front door shut and three young voices getting closer. &n bsp; Bra 's cheerful voice rang through the hall. "Papa! We're home! Guess what, you won't believe what happened today. Trunks and I__" She stopped, as soon as she saw her father standing there with a guest. Trunks, Bra and a very different looking Rai-en stood there in the living room. Upon seeing Vegeta's expresion and the stranger they grew silent. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nbs p; ; & nbsp; &n bsp; Veruco's expression now was that of extreme confusion. The young blue haired girl and the young man with the short lavender hair had made referance to Vegeta as their father...meaning they were his. Something else that puzzled him was the sight of his own daughter. She was dressed rather human like in a well fitted white top and a knee length no less fitting, black skirt topping it off with black lace-up boots that nearly went to her knees. Her once extremely long dark hair was now a whole length shorter and pulled halfway back. The only thing left he saw that barely represented her true background was the black choker she wore, bearing the royal family crest. She looked almost like the other girls he had seen in the city.
She noticed her father staring at her strangely, besides the fact the he was even here. "Tousan? What are you doing here? Why are you looking at me like that?" & nbsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; Everyone's faces went blank for a moment than reverted back to normal, shifting their attention to each other now. Vegeta and his brother exchanged similar glances, with the same thing on their minds...there was a bit of explaining left to do. ; &n bsp; &nb sp; ; Vegeta started first, pointing to Rai-en. "I take it she's yours . . . and you were talking about me no less then a few minutes ago!" &n bsp; &nbs p; ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nbs p; ; The other saiyan cleared his throat, changing the subject somewhat. "Yes . . . and I see you have a few of your own . . . " he paused turning to face his daughter. "Im sure your confused so let me explain...Rai-en this is my elder brother Vegeta. I had wanted to come here in hopes of finding him, while you are here you'll give him the same respect you show me." &nbs p; ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nbs p; ; At first she blinked several times, a bit shocked to find this out so late...and not to mention the way Trunks and Bra looked at her now, they too were surprised to hear this. She resumed her casual composure and nodded her head towards Vegeta as a sign of respect. & nbsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; He motioned to his son and daughter, "Trunks...Bra...this is Veruco, my...baka brother. Well that's all that has to be said." He resumed his stance, his arms folded over his chest remaining silent now. &nbs p; Bulma sighed, that was over finally. This had proven itself to be quite an interesting day so far and she was sure it was just starting. ******
