A/N: {Well people, the Dragon Ball chronicles thingy on Toonami has sparked my creativity and set off some inspiration, and so, I'm writing this ficcie! ^.^ This is mainly about my character and then Goku's family, so, I'll stop rambling now. I think I managed to keep the characters rather in character too, I tried to at least. Anyhoo... please R&R!}

The Quiet Child

Prologue

A tiny time capsule lay lodged in the ground outside of Orange city. Why it was there and where it came from was unknown. Inside however, there was a little girl, most likely only about eight years old. She had bobbed black hair and soft blue eyes, and as she climbed out of the little capsule, her tail became noticeable. She rubbed her eyes and blinked a bit, then she spoke, to herself, to the world around her, in a soft voice that seemed lost and afraid.

"Where am I... how did I end up here?" She said before walking swiftly away from the spot, stumbling into Orange city. "Kioshi..." She whispered to herself. "They called me Kioshi, the quiet one..." She said to herself, walking down the street, her hands shoved into the little pockets of her loose blue pants, staring down at the ground. "But this isn't home... why am I here?"

She looked and saw children about her age run past her down the street, none of them were like her, and none of them had tails, or dressed like her. She heard people gasp as she walked by, and walked faster as she heard their whispers.

"Why, that girl has a tail." She heard one woman whisper.

"It must be some sort of birth defect." One person commented.

"Look mommy! That girls a monkey!" One kid yelled pointing at her.

"Don't point dear it isn't polite."

She walked faster and faster, feeling like a sore thumb sticking out in the crowd. She pushed forward, hearing more comments, more whispers about her. She felt it all building up inside her. 'I'm different, so why am I here? There's no one like me. Why? What's going on? I remember people like me. Why are there none here?' She thought, still staring at the ground, now practically running.

A/N: {So that's the prologue, the chapters will be longer so no worries! I hope you like it so far, oh yeh, and this is set about a month after the Majin Buu saga ends, since that's about the best time I thought this could fit in, since nothing really happens between that and then the World Martial Arts Tournament before GT starts, so uhm... yeh, right. R&R people!}
