TITLE: Wind Flower
AUTHOR: Echo the Nymph
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Dragon Ball Z.
NOTES: The main character's name means 'Windflower'. The Greek form of it is Anemone, but I may eventually find it in Japanese. Now, as to what this story is, I've just worked Anemone into the real storyline of the Frieza saga. Enjoy.
Prologue
A scream resounded through the house, causing the doctors attending the woman to flinch. "Sirena, you've got to push, or that baby is going to blast its way out." one of them told her. He got a patented glare of death from the saiya-jin female. He gulped in fear, knowing that she could easily kill him even when most of her energies were devoted to giving birth.
Another ear shattering scream came from Sirena and then the cries of a healthy newborn filled the room. "It's a girl." the doctor who had caught the child told them.
As the woman rested, her little girl was cleaned off. A soft gasp came from one of them. "Now what?" Apollo inquired gruffly, as he was getting tired of their antics. His arms uncrossed as he approached them.
"N-nothing. My scouter just blipped, that's all." he replied. They left fairly quickly. The warrior approached his mate and looked at his offspring resting in her arms.
"She's defiantly different from any other newborn I've seen." he muttered, awed by her appearence and what he felt within her.
"Apollo, she's our daughter. I think she looks like a little fairy. Anemone fits her, don't you think so?"
He grunted in agreement. His daughter was very special, and deserved a unique name. The two adults looked up in surprise when someone in the doorway cleared their throat. "Your majesty." Apollo greeted.
King Vegeta nodded in reply. "The attack is coming soon. All of the infants must be sent away for their own safety. First of all, I need to know your daughter's name."
"Vegeta-sama, her name is Anemone." Sirena replied as she handed her baby over to her brother. He looked down at his little charge as he walked out of the house. She cooed up at him, in spite of his cold features. Did she know that he was her uncle, or that her cousin had been taken by the very tyrant that had forbidden her birth? He shook his head, forcing those thoughts away as he prepared to send her to safety.
"Zern!" he called. "Take this infant and have her fitted with tags. She is to be sent to Namek."
"Yes, Sire." Zern replied as he lifted Anemone from the King's arms. Her startled cry nearly made her uncle halt, yet he continued on his way. Nothing but a child could help preserve their race. She was taken to a place with many other babies and given her tags. One of the guards took her and carried her to a small pod.
After she was strapped in, the spacecraft took off. A split second later, Frieza launched his planet-killing blast. The saiya-jin baby instantly started crying, as the light and shock wave from the explosion had been seen. It was almost as though she knew something terrible had happened. When her tears petered out, Namek was looming into view. A world that was mostly blue, with the dots of green islands within its sea.
The pod crashed into the land, causing the usual huge crater. But it shook the house of the Eldest Namek, letting him know something out of the ordinary had happened. "Nail, could you go see what that was?" he inquired.
The young Namek-jin warrior walked out to the crater. The part in which the small babe was in was the only undamaged part. He cautiously approached her, not knowing what to expect. Nail lifted her up in his arms and was surprised when she cooed at him. Somehow, she knew he wouldn't hurt her. Can't leave you out here. The sparkling chain about the girl's neck caught his eye. What's this? Your name is Anemone? Well then, come with me, little one.
"What was it?" Guru inquired.
"It was a space pod, Guru and this baby was in it. She is called Anemone." Confusion laced his voice; as he didn't understand why a baby would be sent away from her parents.
