Saiyan's Daughter: Chapter 1 : A Normal Life

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z.

Rayne is the daughter of Goku and Chichi, and has always lived with the fact that her family is different from all the other families, until she meets him. He's name is Trunks and he's just like her, but can their fathers give up their feud long enough for them to be together?

Rayne's POV


"I just don't understand it! Why do I have to be so different from everybody else? I just want to be normal!" I yelled at my father.

"You just can't Rayne, it's not that you can't have a normal life, you just have to be careful about some things that you do."

It was always be careful. Be careful not to use your full strength. Don't tell the other kids what you can do. It's never, how does it make you feel being different?

"But daddy, I can't have a normal life if I'm worrying all the time. Why can't I just be a normal teenager, and get to hang out with my friends?"

"I said no. Now go to your room." I slammed my fists on the wooden table, leaving two large dents. As I stormed up to my room I heard mom ask, "Why don't you help her learn to control it?"

I shook my head and closed the door to my bedroom. Dad was always like this, he tells me how special I am and then doesn't let me use it. I barely know what it means to be a saiyan, all because he won't tell me.

Normal POV
"Goku, just teach her to control her strength. I know you can do it, you taught Gohan."

"But Gohan is different, he could handle it, Rayne can't." Sitting back down at the table he continued his dinner. Chichi narrowed her eyes at him.

"What makes you think she can't handle it? Cause she's a girl?" She tapped her foot in frustration. "That's it isn't it? She's a girl and you think she's weak."

"Yes, its because she's a girl and I don't want her to get hurt. She's to precious to me." He stood and wrapped his arms tightly around his wife.

He smiled wickedly as he nudged her toward the stairs.

"Again tonight? I don't know if I have the energy." Chichi giggled playfully as she lengthened her strides toward the steps.

"Oh, you have the energy alright, trust me." He laughed as he beat her to the door.


School was boring as usual, nothing her mother hadn't already beaten into her head when she was just a small child. All day she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her, although, everytime she turned around, no one was looking at her. At lunch she sat down with her friends and during the chatter of their latest juicy gossip she felt a sudden peak of energy some where near.

"Rayne, what are you doing?" Her close friend Mitshume asked her. Looking down Rayne noticed that she was in her fighting stance where her chair had once been.

"Oh nothing just testing my reflexes." She blushed as she sat down quickly. Luckily, not many people were paying her any attention.

"Good, because guess who just walked into the room?!?" Mitshume squealed with delight. Without even looking the whole group knew that her crush had appeared. He was a senior, and just happened to be Rayne's brother, Goten.

"Rayne you've got to introduce me to him. Please, I'd love you forever." She begged and pouted.

"I'll introduce you one of these days just not right now." The choice for when was taken from her as her big brother strolled over to them.

"Rayne, can I talk to you for a minute?" His friends sat down at the table and kept the other girls busy as the two siblings walked to a corner. "Was that you that I felt earlier? Because if it was, Dad's going to get mad that you used your energy in public."

"It wasn't me. But I felt it too. Who do you think it could be?" He shook his head.

"Best thing to do is go straight home and tell Dad."

"Why can't you do it?"

"Cause I have plans tonight." He tapped her under the chin and walked back to his friends laughing at his grand joke...the jerk.


The sky was gray and cloudy, the air smelled of rain with the faintest hint of lightening. There would be a bad storm later on tonight, but for the moment, Rayne was content to lay on the cool grass at the foot of the mountain.

"I bet they're wondering why I'm not home yet." She sat up quickly and narrowed her eyes. "If they wanted me to come straight home they had another thing coming."Just thinking about what stupid Goten said at lunch pissed her off. She jumped to her feet and began running up the hill to burn off her anger and frustration. He made her so mad she could spit, sometimes. She ran for the longest time and by the time she stopped it was dark and the rain was starting to come down hard.

Rayne looked up into the dark clouds and cursed. "Damn it. This is all Goten's fault he just had to be an ass. If he hadn't of said that I would have gone straight home." She heard thunder off in the distance. "I've got to find a place to hide." She slowed her pace and began looking for anything to make a shelter out of. As she continued up the mountain, the rain began pouring harder down on her shoulders. The distant echo of thunder was getting closer, and the sizzle of electricity snapped in the air, just waiting to strike down on the soggy earth.

Thirty minutes later, after trudging through the forest and all the mud, she spied a group of small buildings tucked into the arch of the mountain side. She began running toward the buildings as the lightening started hitting trees and the wet earth around her. Suddenly, a bolt struck less than 2 feet away from her on the ground. With a scream of pain, Rayne fell to the ground in a painful unconscious mass. Steam rose off her body as she lay twitching on the wet grass.
