Chapter 7;

Noriko and Vegeta where in their respective fighting stances. Vegeta had gone Super Saiyajin; "Well Noriko what do you think?" Vegeta smirked at her. Noriko also went Super Saiyajin. "Not bad Vegeta, not bad at all." Vegeta was angrier now than he had ever been. Not only had she disappeared for 20 years, she could go Super Saiyajin? No! That he could not tolerate.

As they proceeded to launch at one another, Goku went Super Saiyajin himself and jumped in between the two cousins. "STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" "You are family, you two should not be fighting."Noriko stopped in mid flight, but Vegeta went past Goku and left hooked Noriko right in the Jaw. She flew back a mighty distance. But just as suddenly as she flew she was behind Vegeta and kicked him to the ground. Vegeta got back up and took his stance again and powered up. Goku would not have it and blocked Vegeta's view.

"Kakarott, get out of my way or so help me, you will die too." "No Vegeta. Enough already. Here what she has to say first, and if you don't like it I will move." Vegeta and Noriko both powered down. "All right Noriko, we will do it Kakarott's way, but be warned I still plan on killing you." "I'm afraid I can't let you do that Vegeta." Vegeta turned around to see Takeshi powered to Super Saiyajin as well, and behind him a boy that looked to be Trunks' age did the same. "I cannot allow you to kill my wife and the mother of my child." "CHILD?"

The Z fighters looked on in amazement. Shinji stepped out from behind his father, and everyone's mouth dropped. He was the spitting image of Takeshi. Black hair, strong jaw line, and muscular build, everything except his eyes. His eyes where as blue as his mother's. "Yes it is true. I married Takeshi Daichi and bore him a son; Shinji Daichi." Noriko smiled at her family. "So what does that mean for us?"Everyone turned around, to see that Gohan had spoke. Noriko's eyes filled with tears. He was no longer a small boy, but a man. He was taller, and his hair was shorter but looked exactly like Goku.

"Oh Gohan. Look at you. You're taller than me now." Noriko could help but giggle a bit, and Gohan smiled. She hadn't changed. Her face was older, but she still had the same spirit. Gohan could tell. Noriko went over to Gohan and hugged him. "Do you hate me Gohan?" She stepped back and looked into his eyes. "No Aunt Nori, I could never hate you." He hugged his aunt again. She let the tears fall from her checks. "Ok, ok, ok so you have your hugs and tears like a bunch of weaklings, now I demand you tell me what happened cousin."Vegeta was boiling mad, he wanted answers and wanted them now.

Noriko then proceeded to tell them how she was related to Vegeta, how she came to know Goku, the Z fighters, and saved Gohan's life. How she was banished and how she had tried to reach them all but failed. How she became married and how she had her son. So far everything had added up. Except one thing. Goku spoke up on this. "Well that explains a lot Noriko, but how in Kami's name did you ever get back? I mean we are all so glad to see you, but 20 years? What's different now?" "I renounced my title and my duties. As long as I do not bare the title of princess to the Dragon Keepers, they cannot keep me banished." "But what about your powers?" Gohan asked. Every one shook their heads in response. Noriko was powerful and they would need her help. But she just laughed.

"I trained myself and with some of the most talented warriors in the Galaxy. They can't take away my powers, just my titles. Which at this point I know longer care, though I wish I would have thought of it sooner." Everything was explained, and Vegeta though still mad, could not believe the sacrifice his cousin had made. "So Noriko, what now?" Vegeta had crossed his arms and wanted an answer. "I know Kouki Shuu is back and is after you Vegeta. I will not stand by any longer and watch your demise. I could not help you before, but I beg you forgiveness, and to please let me help you now. Plus the Iwao monster that tried to hurt Gohan years before is back. I believe Kouki has enlisted his services to take away your children Vegeta, if not the others as well."

Vegeta wanted to forgive his cousin, but his pride would not let him. "I cannot forgive what you have done cousin; but it seems that the other Z Fighters believe we need help. I do not need it, but they do. So help them."With that Vegeta flew off towards home. Noriko was crushed. She missed Vegeta so much, but she knew his heart would be the hardest to get through. Goku could tell she was upset and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry. Give him time, he will come around." Noriko wanted to believe Goku, but at that moment she didn't. "Come on Noriko, I bet everyone will be excited to see you again." Goku smiled and headed for the direction of Capsule Corp. Noriko and her family followed. She hoped that what she was doing was the right thing.

Yup Chapter 7! So everyone is caught up with one another and pretty sure, Goku and Noriko will explain the rest to the Z fighters back at Capsule Corp in the next chapter. Vegeta is pretty pissed, but can you blame him….o and we may have a run in with Iwao next chapter….read on and review!
