Chapter 8
The Rebirth of an Old Fear

Hiei was the first to wake in the morning. In her sleep Andrea had thrown an arm and a leg across his body. She stirred in her sleep as if in response to the fact that he had woke up. Her blue eyes opened slowly as she remembered where she was. Then she looked over at the alarm clock that she had set for local time last night. Its red numbers read a quarter till six.

"That's the first time I've slept that good in ages," said Andrea as she sat up and stretched her arms toward the ceiling. Hiei did not see a need to reply and stayed silent. Then a light on top of the inter-dimensional transporter caught their attention and they turned their heads to look at it as a letter appeared on it.

Less then a second after it materialized, Andrea picked it up. She could easily recognize the small traces of ki that clung to the letter. She tore it open, desperate to read her brother's response. It was predictably written in the Saiyago.

Andrea

The `onna' says she can build a device to get me there in a months time. She also says that a second device will be needed to send me home. This time the lizard will stay dead. I will not give him the chance to hurt you again.

Another message shall come soon. It shall contain the specs on the device that will be needed and instructions on how to build it. If you send any questions, I'll make sure the `onna' answers them.

Vegeta
Prince of the Saiyans

P.S.
Tell that guy you have a crush on that if I get even the slightest suspicion that he's hurt you he will die a slow and painful death. Nobody but nobody hurts my little sister.

Andrea read the letter twice before translating it aloud so that Hiei would know what it said. Hiei frowned when he heard the postscript, but understood the sentiment. He felt the same way about his little sister.

Then Andrea brought bout her deck and summoned her Dark Magician. The magician knelt in front of her as soon as he appeared and said, "What is it that you wish of me?" The chocolate haired girl told the Magician to tell Yami that she and Hiei were fine and that she would either call them or e-mail them later with more information. The Magician vanished into the Shadow Realm to do Andrea's bidding.

Andrea walked over to the room's dresser. She had just picked out some clothes to wear and begun to put them on when she heard the distinctive sound of a sword being unsheathed. She turned to face Hiei, half-expecting that he had gotten the sword out to clean it or sharpen it. Instead, she saw next to the door with his sword poised to attack anyone who should open the door. She finished putting on the jeans and the black t-shirt that said, in large white letters, "Princess' in Saiyago.

She placed her deck in her pocket and took a position near the door and as she did so Hiei handed Andrea her sheathed sword. It had been attached to a belt that was a lot like the one Hiei used to strap his sword on for use in battle. She put it on without a word. Though she had no actual experience with the weapon, her earlier training would be some compensation.

"What danger do you sense?" asked Andrea.

Hiei looked at her in confusion. "I don't know, but they're powerful whoever they are. So powerful I can't tell you how close they are. I've never sensed anyone so strong," said Hiei, body trembling in fear and confusion.

Andrea walked up behind him and hugged him. "Maybe we can locate the source of the danger together," said Andrea.

Hiei used his Jagan Eye to show Andrea exactly what he sensed. It only took a moment for them to pinpoint exactly where and who the danger was. They even knew where it was going.

It was Freiza. He was still a light-year away as near as they could tell, but he was coming fast. His destination was Earth.

Andrea almost panicked. Almost let the fear that flooded her body at Freiza's nearness control her actions. Instead like she had many times before, she put all her concentration into the here and now.

She pulled Hiei closer to her, trying to distract him from the danger that was coming closer and closer by the second. "Block him out. Nothing can be done at this point unless you can concentrate fully on preparing for his arrival. Get dressed. I'll send another message to Vegeta. Then we'll go from there," said Andrea in a soothing a voice as she could. His reaction was much better then hers had been the first time she had sensed Freiza's power. Freiza had gotten a lot more powerful since then.

She got a tape recorder and a blank tape out of a drawer as Hiei began to get dressed in a sleeveless black shirt, black pants, and two white belts that had attached to them his swords sheathe. Andrea placed the cassette in the recorder and pushed down both the record button and the play button before she began her recording in Saiyago:


"`Geta, things have gone gotten really bad. I sense Freiza. He's about a light-year out and closing a lot faster then I'd like. Then again you know my preference when it comes to that. As far as I can tell we don't even have a full day. I need you big brother, now more then ever. Freiza might blow up this planet without even once setting foot on it. That thought scares me. I don't want my home world to be blown up by that evil S.O.B. especially not with me and those I care about on it. I'll do anything I can with the small amount of skills you managed to teach me to keep this planet safe. Please come soon, `Geta."


Once done she was done recording, she placed the tape on the teleporter and sent it on its way. She turned to face Hiei as he placed a bandana over his Jagan eye. He looked calmer, but still scared. A knock at the door startled them both. Andrea opened the door and let Daniel in. By this time, Hiei's face had become a emotionless mask that hid his fear.

"We have a problem." Said Daniel. "An unknown vessel claiming to be owned by Freiza has entered the solar system. This Freiza person says that unless we turn over `The Monkey Prince's Little Sister' he will destroy this planet. We have two weeks to hand this person over. Do you know what he wants?"

"He wants me," said Andrea in a small voice. "I contacted Vegeta using a small inter-dimensional transporter and he said that they need a month to put together the device that will bring him to this dimension. Apparently the ones we use to communicate can't do living creatures without killing them."

Then suddenly there was a bright light in the corner of the room and even as it faded Hiei drew his sword and Daniel pointed a gun at it. Andrea's was response was quite different she grinned and began hopping up and done in the manner of an excited little girl.
