Two years after Gohan's death

Kairi was meditating behind her home. It was in the same place it had been, and looked just as it had when Gohan was alive. It had taken a while, but shehad finally managed to fill in the craters left by Goku's rampage in his Great Ape form.

Kairi had been raising Goku, attempting to bring him up to be the boy Gohan would've raised, despite wanting to raise him to be able to kill Frieza. When she wasn't fixing the house or taking care of Goku she was training herself to be the best she could possibly be.

She was still haunted by nightmares of her parents death and the destruction of her planet, but nightmares of Gohan's death were even more common. Most days she simply didn't sleep, because she didn't want to relive Gohan's death. Other rarer times she dreamed about Goku being killed by Frieza. It was those dreams that made her anxious to begin Goku's training, but she refused to start until he turned thirteen.

One of the few things that truly calmed her down besides training, or fighting was cooking, and even though she was taking care of Goku she had grown even colder than she had been before Gohan's death.

Goku should be back with something to eat by now. I hope he hasn't gotten lost. Just as she had gotten up and was about to go looking for him she sensed him coming back up the road towards the house. She could sense someone else with him. I wonder what he's brought back this time. Goku had brought many injured animals to take care of but this was the first time she could actually sense the energy of whatever it was he had with him. Probably some other person. I guess I'll wait next to the house. She went and leaned back against the side of the house to wait for Goku to arrive. It took him about five minutes to get there, and when he did get there she was astounded by the fact that he had a blue-haired girl with him slightly younger than Kairi herself. The girl was wearing a pink skirt that was attached to a short sleeved pink top. She had a purple scarf, was wearing her hair in a braid, and had a big red ribbon at the top of her hair. She had green shoes with white tips and soles, and purple socks. A brown leather glove on her right hand, and a red band on her left wrist. She also had a brown belt with a green pouch over her left hip. The name Bulma was written in big black letters across her chest. So Bulma must be her name. Thought Kairi.

"So this is where you live huh." said the girl. "Yeah, I've been living here with my big sister ever since my grandpa died. Speaking of Sis. I wonder where she's at." replied Goku. "I'm right here Goku." said Kairi coming out of the shadows on the side of the house. "Sis!" cried Goku happily. "You won't believe who I in the woods. "It looks like you found some random blue-haired chick named Bulma." answered Kairi smiling at the overjoyed expression on her brothers face. "Yeah, that and I got some fish for dinner."

"Hey, how'd you know may name? Were you watching us?" asked Bulma suspiciously. Kairi was slightly annoyed by Bulma's question when the answer was on the front of her shirt. "No, I wasn't watching you, and if you don't want people to know your name you shouldn't go around with it printed on the front of your shirt." answered Kairi in the same cold emotionless tone that everybody but Goku got from her since Gohan died. "Well I figured that since your brother didn't guess Bulma was name you wouldn't figure it out either." replied Bulma. Well if you haven't noticed Goku isn't that smart. And I'm not an idiot. But she answered with a "humph"

"Bulma hit me with her car and hit me with little stings." said Goku excitedly. "So let me get this straight." said Kairi mildly impressed at the fact that this girl had nearly killed Goku and he was still excited at finding her. "She hit you with her car, and shot you in an attempt to kill you and you didn't at least beat her up." "Nope I don't think she was actually tryin' to kill me though." said Goku in an attempt to spare Bulma his sisters anger. "You don't think so, huh?" said Kairi with a tinge of anger in her voice. Goku winced realizing his sister was really really mad at Bulma. "I think I should throw her all the was down the mountain for trying to kill my little brother." replied Kairi coldly. "He's right I just panicked I wasn't trying to kill him, okay?" said the girl nervously, unsure whether Kairi was serious about tossing her off the mountain.

"I was just looking for a little ball with stars, and according to my radar it should be in your house." said Bulma. Kairi immediately thought of the orange ball with four stars that Gohan had given her and Goku to remember him by. Well if she doesn't find it it's not my problem. It's also none of her business whether we have a ball like that or not. Goku was already telling her about the ball. "My Grandpa gave us a ball just like that." he said excitedly. "Sweet!" said Bulma excitedly rushing towards the door. Dang it Goku thought Kairi. She then phased out and reappeared in front of the door with her arms crossed stopping Bulma in her tracks. "Why should we let you have our ball anyway?" asked Kairi icily. Bulma backed up slowly being intimidated by Kairi even though Kairi was still smaller than her.

"Because I'm collecting them." replied Bulma cautiously. "Sucks for you." replied Kairi. "Come on Goku, I'd like to have dinner sometime today." "Wait!" said Bulma. Kairi stopped with the door half opened and turned to look at her expectantly. "There balls are called Dragon Balls. And if you get all seven you can have one wish granted by the eternal dragon." said Bulma hoping that would convince Kairi. Does she honestly expect me to believe that I'm not an idiot. Maybe she is telling the truth though. Nah, wish granting orbs don't actually exist she probably just thinks I'm gullible. "I care why, exactly?" asked Kairi lashing her tail, as she lost her patience. "If you can prove it I'll consider letting you have our ball." said Kairi. Bulma produced two more which promptly started to glow and looked at her expectantly. I guess she's could be telling the truth. I mean the ball's are glowing.

She looked at Goku and saw his jaw was dropped nearly to the floor and his eyes were shining. She sighed "What are you going to wish for." "The best boyfriend in the world." said Bulma proudly. "Sis, why does she want a friend that's a boy so badly?" asked Goku looking very confused. Kairi was pretty confused herself. What does she mean by a boyfriend? It sounds like she wants something more than a friend that just so happens to be a boy. Thought Kairi. "Is it really worth all this trouble just to get a friend that's a boy?" Bulma's looked confused. "You're kidding right? How does someone as pretty as you not know what a boyfriend is? Not that you're as beautiful as me of course." replied Bulma. "Look, the only time I left the mountains was twelve years ago. I was gone for ten years but I was only gone for training. I didn't go to any of the cities, or interact with people for long enough to figure out the customs here." replied Kairi. "Well never mind." sighed Bulma.

"Can I have your ball now, please." asked Bulma excitedly, sure she was about to get the ball. "No, Now get off my lawn." said Kairi. "You can come with me and get in a lot of training." said Bulma convincingly. "Can we sis, can we, please?" asked Goku as soon as he heard this, and he also started giving her that stupid look she just couldn't ignore. Dang it Goku! Why'd you have to start with those stupid eyes? "Fine, we can go." she said with with a sigh. Bulma let a relived sigh and Goku said "Thank you, sis!". "We leave tomorrow." said Kairi.

Sorry about the short chapter. I've written several chapters already, so I'll be updating fairly regularly until I'm caught up. I've also made several changes to the last chapter since I uploaded and old document. So if you haven't read the updated version I'd recommend you go and read that.
