Goten has been having mysterious disturbing dreams for a long period of time, and he is worried that something is wrong with him. While this is happening a mysterious woman appears carrying news of an impending enemy unlike any that the Z-warriors have ever seen. Who is this girl, and what does she have to do with Goten's dreams?

Chika – Near, to be close to

Takara – Treasure, precious object

Kiyoshi – Quiet

Leiko – Arrogant

Kane – Tribute, warrior, the eastern sky, beautiful

Intro

Frowning softly, she ran her slender fingers over the still water, watching as the sleek surface of the water rippled quietly. She could sense the peace on Earth, and could see as the warriors carried out about their normal lives. She hated to disturb them.

"Chika, why is it that this always happens? Just when a moment of peace returns, someone shows up to disturb them"

"They're the defenders of Earth, Takara. It's supposed to be that way…and this enemy is not to be take lightly"

Takara closed her eyes sadly, her thoughts wandering to their upcoming enemy. The strongest one yet…and probably the strongest they would ever fight. Would they make it….or would Leiko win again?

"Have faith, Takara. We've helped them defeat all their past enemies. We can beat this one" Chika wanted to be sure of ever word she was saying, but she had her doubts too.

"I hope they can come through once more" she said, turning away from the waters. She looked into the sky, hoping for a sign.

Goten shot up from his bed, his breath coming out in short gasps. He threw the covers off of his body, and tried to calm his breathing. Again with these dreams…

"Leiko? Takara? Who were these people?" He shook his head softly in confusion. Every night for the past week, he had been having the same dream. Could it be a premonition of some sort, or was there something wrong with him?

He swung his feet over the edge of his bed, and tried to shake the tension from his muscles. It didn't seem to work.

You're loosing it, Goten. You're absolutely loosing it

Goten had thought of telling his father about his strange dreams earlier that week, but whenever he faced Goku, he would start to feel hesitant about it. He knew his father wouldn't laugh at him, but he still found it strange to tell his father about it.

Goten looked at the alarm clock beside him. 6:00 AM.

He sighed once more, stood up, and stretched, still not quite feeling normal. There was something different this morning … or maybe it was just him. As he looked in the mirror, Goten tried the best smile he could, considering he hadn't gotten nearly enough sleep for an entire week. He slowly ran one hand through his unruly jet-black hair.

Even to his eyes, his smile looked amazingly fake.

He shook his head slightly. You're loosing it, Goten. You're absolutely loosing it

Chapter 1

Takara could remember how hard it had been the last time she had seen the warriors. How long ago was it? Years it had to be. Fighting Buu had been a hard battle, but they had won. It was a pity she had to wipe their memories of ever meeting her in the end. If anyone of them had remembered her, her job in other world would have been jeopardized … and King Yemma would certainly deal with her. Needless to say, she made sure to wipe the memory of every single person who laid eyes on her.

Now that there was a new enemy, she would have to help the Z-fighters to defeat it, and she was very worried. This enemy was unlike any other enemy they had ever fought … and they would have to start training as soon as possible, for she could see that their numerous years of peace had made some of them neglect their training ... but that would be taken care of as soon as she explained everything to them … … at least everything they needed to know.

Now, where was Chika?

"I'm right here", said a voice from behind her. Used to her friend's presence, she only smiled. She used to be startled whenever her Chika appeared suddenly behind her, but over the centuries, she had gotten used to it.

"We have to inform King Yemma that we're leaving today. He's expecting us" She got up from beside the still water; the fountain of youth.

"I already informed him. He wants us to leave us as soon as possible. Kiyoshi is supposed to be coming with us, but only to keep watch, and make sure everything goes as planned"

Takara's eyes lit up as soon as she heard his name. She hadn't seen him in a long time, and she had found her thoughts wandering to him frequently.

"Where is he?" She asked.

"He's waiting for you at King Yemma's. He's looking forward to this, too" Chika put a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm sure he is" Takara replied softly.

Chi-Chi had been watching Goten carefully, and she was sure that even Goku had his suspicions about his son. Goten seemed tired these days and was easily angered. She was very worried about him, and she knew that there was something he wasn't telling them.

She looked at him through the corner of her eyes, and watched as he poked absent-mindedly at his food. That was certainly not like him. Goten usually would have devoured that food in a matter of seconds, but he was loosing his appetite. All she could do now was hope that he would talk to her about whatever it was that was bothering him.

"Goten, honey. Don't you want your food?" she asked softly.

"I … I already ate before I got here, so I'm not hungry"

He was lying. Even if he did eat before he got there, he would have still devoured her food.

"Okay…" she said. There was a long silence between them, and Goten pushed his plate away from him.

"I'm gonna go now. I have some stuff to do at the house" he said, still not looking at her.

"Okay. I'll see you later, then. Take care" she said sadly. He really wasn't going to tell her. She would have to talk to Trunks. He would certainly get something out of him.

Dende looked out over the land from the top of the lookout. He closed his eyes, trying to feel for any sign of an enemy hidden among them. Nothing … but then what was this feeling he was having?

He could bet right now that Takara knew about this, and was going to be here soon. He had not seen her in a long time, so he was looking forward to see it again. Too bad it was under such horrible a circumstance. He had missed her greatly.

"Hello, Dende. I've missed you greatly" said a soft voice from behind him.

Dende turned around surprised at her timing.

"Takara, I knew you'd be here. My thoughts were just on you. How have you been?"

"I've been fine, but I was troubled about what was happening here on Earth; we have another battle on our hands, and I'm afraid this battle will be the most difficult we will ever face" she said, looking at the Namekian.

"How do you know this?" He asked troubled by what he was hearing. He shouldn't have been surprised. Every enemy they fought seemed to be even stronger than the last.

"Leiko has returned, and she's coming back to seek vengeance, Dende"

Dende looked at her in silence. It couldn't be Leiko. Hadn't she been defeated? How could she come back?

Takara broke the silence. "I don't know how, but she's coming back, and she's looking for her brother"
