"talking" 'thoughts'

My Life, My Story, My Future

Raine, who is four years old, sat on the ground. She had just watched some guy kill her father and she didn't understand any of it. Raine's father, Nappa, was with Vegeta when they came to Earth. His father's aim was to destroy Earth and she was with them. Her mother had died right after she was born.

Even though Vegeta was arrogant and selfish, he did truly care about the little girl. When Nappa died, Vegeta took the responsibility of taking care of her. Vegeta and Raine went everywhere together. When Vegeta had to go to Namek, he took her along. But he also had to hide her because Frieza had his eye on Raine. Needless to say, Vegeta didn't like that. So one day he decided to take her with him to look for the dragon balls.

"Veggie where we going?" Raine quietly asked.

"Don't say a word until I tell you to." Vegeta growled. He didn't want to be mean to her, but he needed her to know that this was important.

She looked at him and whispered, "Ok."

Raine really couldn't pronounce Vegeta's name, but he didn't care. He knew that she would get it. Raine was the only one who ever saw the nice, caring side of Vegeta.

He had located one of the dragon balls, but it was with a blue haired woman. Vegeta landed and the woman started to fear what might happen to her. Well, that was until Raine decided to talk to her.

"Hi." Raine said as Vegeta set her on the ground.

"Hi." The blue haired woman was frightened, but she couldn't help but smile at the little girl, she seem so innocent. "What's your name?"

"Raine."

"That's a pretty name. Mine is Bulma."

"Raine stop talking to her!" Vegeta barked.

"Veggie?" Raine whined. "Is she mommy?"

Vegeta sighed. This was beginning to be one of those days where he wished that Raine wouldn't say anything. "No!"

Bulma had been shocked by what Raine had said. "Excuse me. What does she mean by 'mommy'?"

"Raine why don't you go sit over there," Vegeta pointed to patch of grass, "and try not to listen."

"Ok." Raine happily said before she gave him a little hug and ran off to where Vegeta had told her. As soon as she got there, she sat down and then fell asleep.

Vegeta decided to tell Bulma and then take the dragon ball. "I suspect that you're from Earth and that you know Kakorot's son."

"Yeah, I am." Bulma was confused. "Why?"

Vegeta looked over to see that Raine had gone to sleep. He looked at Bulma and said, "Well he is the one that killed her father. That was two years ago. Her mother died after she was born."

"So..."

"She thinks that her mommy is you." Vegeta silently cursed the Human race. It didn't take a genius to figure out what he was trying to say.

"Ok," Bulma said. It took a few moments before Vegeta's words sunk in. "Oh! I see."

Vegeta shook his head. He thought for a moment if he should hand Raine over to this girl. So Frieza would never be able to find her. So that was what he decided on. It was his job to keep Raine safe. "Listen I need you to take Raine."

"What!" Once again Bulma was confused, but she knew that there had to be a reason. "Why?"

"Frieza wants her!" Vegeta barked. He looked at Raine and said, "I can't let Frieza do that. You don't..."

Raine woke up just after Vegeta had turned to look at her. She wasn't sure what they were talking about, but it looked serious to her.

Bulma sighed. She couldn't imagine taking in the little girl, but she also couldn't allow herself to just leave the girl. "She is going to miss you."

Vegeta took off a necklace that he had. It signified that he was the Prince of all Saiyans. "Give this to her." He said as he handed Bulma the necklace. "Raine knew that at some point I was going to leave her with someone."

Bulma nodded as she took the necklace. "Ok."

Just then, Raine ran over and hooked herself on his leg. She was crying. "No, don't go! I wanna stay with you!"

Bulma was touched and sadden at the same time by the way Raine had reacted. It showed Bulma that this saiyan man in front of her just might care about the little girl and vice versa. She quickly handed the necklace back to Vegeta.

Vegeta sighed and took back his necklace before prying Raine off of his leg. Once that was done, he bent down to her height and placed the necklace on her neck. "Here. You can keep this." He hated having to do this, but he knew that this was the only way to protect her. "This way I'll always be with you."

"But…" Raine started to cry.

Vegeta wanted to promise that he would be back, but he knew that was a promise that he may not be able to keep. "Don't worry. I'll be back." After he said that, he gave her a hug and took off.

Raine cried and ran after Vegeta until she couldn't run anymore. Her legs gave way and she collapsed on the ground crying.

Bulma had been following her. She couldn't imagine how Raine was feeling. When she reached Raine, Bulma slowly picked her up. "It is ok. I promise that everything will be ok. Everything happens for a reason." She was trying her hardest to calm the little girl down, but it wasn't working to well. Bulma began to walk back to where she had been before. On the way back, Raine had finally cried herself to sleep.

During the time that Raine had been asleep, Bulma had found a space big enough to fit a capsule house in. She figured that at least they would be safe from the enemy.

When Raine woke up, she was laying on a bed in an unfamiliar place. She sat up in the bed and looked around this room. "Where am I?" Raine whispered.

Bulma walked into the room and smiled. "Hi there. I'm glad to you that you are awake." She walked over to the bed. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine." Raine stated. "Where is Veggie? I want Veggie!"

Bulma sighed. She didn't know what to say to her. "Why don't you come out and meet the people that I came here with? They are really nice."

"I guess I could." Raine said as she stood up. "Are they nice?"

"Yes, they are." Bulma grabbed Raine's hand and led her out to the main room. When they got there, Bulma said, "Krillen, Gohan, this is Raine."

"She's a saiyan." One person stated.

"Duh!" Raine stated. She didn't know what he was talking about.

"Who's daughter is she?" A young boy asked.

"Nappa's." Bulma stated. She looked at Raine and said, "The bald one is Krillen," she pointed at him, "and the boy is Gohan."

Gohan waved. "It is nice to meet you."

Krillen just stared at Raine and said, "But she can't be a saiyan. Not with blue eyes."

"I am a saiyan! Veggie says so!" Raine barked.

Gohan was confused. "Veggie? Who is Veggie? He doesn't sound every important."

Raine was shocked that they were being so mean to her. She stared at Gohan before attacking him. She knew that him from somewhere, but she just couldn't place it. She only got in one good punch before Krillen broke them apart. "Veggie is your prince!"

"Raine, stop it!" Bulma shouted. "Go back to the room where you woke up, please." Bulma wanted to talk to them about Raine and she didn't want the little girl to hear any of it.

"Ok." Raine whispered sadly before she walked back into the bedroom and sat on the bed.

Bulma could not believe the temper of that girl. She knew that this was going to be hard. She waited a few moments before saying, "You guys, Vegeta left her here."

Krillen was shocked. "You mean the Vegeta that originally attacked us?"

Bulma nodded. "He isn't that bad of a person if you think about it."

"She could be spying for him." Krillen stated.

"No." Bulma told them what Vegeta had said and they were shocked. Gohan and Krillen started to discuss about Raine.

Gohan looked at Bulma. "You mean to say that Raine was with them when they attacked? That she saw what I had to do?"

Bulma nodded. "It is all possible."

Krillen was shocked. "I didn't realize that was the girl that they had with them. Let alone the fact that she was Nappa's daughter." He paused for a few moments and said, "I think she got the hair and eyes from her mother."

Bulma sighed. She was getting sick and tired of the way he was acting. "Stop Krillen. Do you guys think that you could be nice to her?"

"Yes!" Gohan happily said. He was glad to have someone around his age to talk to.

"I guess I can be." Krillen said only because couldn't help but not trust her. He just hoped that would change with time.

"Good." Bulma was happy with the answers.

Gohan walked into the bedroom that Raine was in and saw that she was crying. He walked over and sat on the bed. "What's wrong Raine?"

"No-nothing." Raine sniffled. She turned from Gohan so that he couldn't see her.

"But there is." He wanted to help. Gohan wanted to be her friend, but there was nothing that he could do.

Two years have passed since she had been left with Bulma. The four of them were going back to Earth. In that year Raine and Gohan had become best friends. They basically did everything together. A few weeks after Raine had been with them, Gohan ended up telling her that he was the one who killed her father. Raine believed him and she was mad at him for awhile but eventually she forgave him.

Raine was so scared and nervous about would happen to their friendship once they were on Earth. She was afraid when the shuttle landed outside of a building called Capsule Corp.

Now Raine had to meet everyone else. The only thing was that she really missed Vegeta. Raine was wrapped up in her thoughts that all she was doing was sitting in one of the chairs. She didn't even realize that Gohan was standing right next to her.

"Raine come on."

She looked up at Gohan. "Why? The only ones that really want me here are you, Krillen, and Bulma. To everyone else, I'm just the daughter of the enemy."

"It's ok. I know that you aren't just that." He sat in the chair beside her. "You're my best friend. So believe me when I say that everyone is going to love you."

Raine laughed. She never would have expected something like that to come out of Gohan's mouth. "Ok Gohan, if you say so." She stood up and hoped that he was right.

They walked out laughing. Everybody looked at them funny. Then Gohan saw his mom and so he took Raine over with him.

"Hi mom!" Gohan happily said.

"Gohan!" Chi-Chi hugged her son. "How's my baby?" She asked as she pulled away.

Gohan was turning red. Raine thought that it was hilarious. Chi-Chi didn't even notice that Raine was standing there, even though everyone else did.

"Um...Gohan, who is the girl?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Oh," Gohan said, "That is Raine."

Just then it registered with Piccolo, Tien, and Yamcha that she was the girl that they had seen at the battle. The one that they were worried would come back and try to attack them again.

Raine could tell what they were thinking just by looking at them. "I know what you're thinking. But I'm different..."

"How can you be different?! You are them!"

"Yamcha, she was sleeping half the time." She couldn't believe the way that he was acting like this. "Vegeta gave her to me to take care because he didn't want Frieza getting her."

Raine's eyes began to fill with tears. She missed her father and Vegeta too much. She hadn't even been there for an hour and almost everyone hated her. Raine didn't know what to do so she went back in the shuttle and cried.

She could her everyone fighting and it was all because of her. Raine didn't want them to hate her. So she ran out. When she got back outside, she said, "Everybody stop it!! I didn't know or want you hate me! But since you do I'll just leave." Raine started to walk away, but she didn't get very far because Bulma, Gohan, and Krillen had got in front her.

"Don't go." Krillen said. "It took me awhile to get use to you and its going to take them awhile too."

"But Krillen, they hate me."

Gohan sighed, "No, they don't."

Raine looked up with slight hope in her eyes. "Are you sure?"

Bulma nodded. "We're sure."

"And do we really care if they don't like you?" Krillen asked.

"I do." Raine stated. "I don't want everyone to fight because of me."

"It will be fine. They just have to get use to you being around." Bulma said.

"Ok."

Bulma could tell that there was something wrong because Raine had given up too easily and that wasn't like her. Bulma decided to wait until later to find out.

After two hours, everyone went home, except for Yamcha. Bulma's parents were very surprised by the way Raine acted, but nevertheless they were caring for her. Raine went and sat on the swing as Bulma, Bulma's parents, and Yamcha went inside. Even outside, Raine could hear Bulma and Yamcha fighting.

"Bulma, how can you have her around all the time?!" Yamcha barked. "I mean she could be plotting to kill you."

"She wouldn't do that!" Bulma couldn't believe what her boyfriend was saying. "Raine is only six and half. She lost her father because of Gohan and Vegeta. He was scared of what would happen to her. If she wanted to kill me she would have done it along time ago!"

Yamcha turned around and walked off. Raine got off the swing and ran to Bulma. She was scared of him, but she didn't want Bulma to know that.

"Bulma," Raine whispered, "what's going to happen to me?"

"Nothing. You are going to stay here with me."

"Ok. I don't wanna go anywhere else." Raine smiled and gave her a hug.

Bulma and Raine went inside so that Raine could go to bed. But first, she had to pick her room. She went to about four different rooms before she stopped.

"Bulma, can I have this one please?"

"Are you sure? It's pretty big."

"But it's pretty. And it reminds me of home."

"Ok."

It was a big room. It was painted blue and had a tiny bay window with a bench that was connected to the wall; however, the bench was a trunk that was hidden. The bed was a king. There were no sheets or anything so she had to sleep in another room until those could be purchased.

"Bulma, can I sleep in your room?"

"Sure."

Raine smiled. She was glad because she was afraid of being by herself after what had happened with Yamcha earlier. When Raine got to Bulma's room, she climbed onto the bed and immediately fell asleep.

I hope that everyone enjoyed the first chapter of this story. I am currently revising it since this story is almost five years old. Let me know how the first chapter was. Because there are a lot more after this one.
