Hi I'm back and not the least bit late. I'd like everyone that liked the story so far. (You know who you are and please give yourself a hand of applause.) I really appreciate it. And I'd like to apologize for the spelling errors and grammars in the first chapter with it being my first story and all.So let's go onward with our story and the next chapter ;)

Chapter two

Rukia woke in cold sweat after a nightmare she couldn't recall, she found herself in an unfamiliar room when the previous day's events came back her.

"Oh right. I died." She mumbled to herself a little sad as she recalled the things she didn't get to do or see or...say.

Taking a few calming breathes the former shinigami got out of bed and headed to the bathroom taking the clothes she wore yesterday with her.

Rukia stared at herself in the mirror, her hair clinging to her forehead due to the sweat and for a moment she thought her eyes turned red but the flash was gone just as fast as it came.

With a sigh she stripped herself of her nightclothes and climbed into the shower letting the cold water run down her back soothing her nerves as she tried to remember the dream that was having her on edge.

"You the reason we're here!" a voice loudly whispered near her ear causing the petite girl to turn around.

"What?" she asked her voice barely above a whisper. She stepped out of the shower grapping a towel and wrapped it around her.The walls of the bathroom seemed like it was about to close in on her as if to crush her.

"You left after everything I have done for you!"

A headache started to pound her head as she look for the source of the voices.

"You're weak no wonder why you died!"

"Stop it!" She yelled as she clenched her head and covering her ears trying to block out the voices that didn't stop as she silencely begged for them to.

The room started to sway and spin, the walls drawing close to her when it all stopped, the voice quieted down and the room stop swaying.

Rukia let out a sign as she turned around to look in the mirror again when she nearly jumped out of her skin. Her reflection was the same yet different. Her hair was blond and spiked yet still long, her eyes was teal with a ring of violet around it and a golden aura surrounded her.

Rukia closed her eyes for a while taking a few breathes and when she opened her eyes again she had clamp a hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming. Instead of the blond her Akali was there with a wide and creepy smile on her face. Akali bursted in a fit of hysterical laughter.

"You should have seen your face!" Akali said after her laughter died down."Oh and you're wondering want you just saw am I right or am I right?" Rukia scowled at the childish woman in the mirror.

"You know you shouldn't scare a person like that. What if I had a heart attack or something?" Rukia asked picking up the towel that fell off and covered her naked.

"Well you didn't." Akali stated studying her fingernails. "You have questions"

"Yes.What was that!?" Rukia asked her voice squeaky as she pointed at Akali.

"Remember what I told you yesterday?"

"Um...To ask you anything or every-"

"No!" Akali snapped than let out a sign as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "Your newly found strength is not the only newly found power and there's more where that came from?"

"Oh...Yeah right I remember now." Rukia said nodding her head.

"Well...that's what I meant and what you saw in the mirror is a level you have to fillful with the new power you have."

"Okey. So what now?" Rukia said not knowing what to do.

"Well for one you should put on some clothes." Akali said with a chuckle as Rukia turned beet red. She quickly put on her clothes throwing a scowl over her shoulder at her guide who was no laughing loudly at her yet away from her.

"You could have told me." Rukia said after she was fully dressed.

"Well I could but I just didn't want ti because I really wanted to see your face." Akali replied.Rukia's stomach growled reminding her she should still have breakfast."It's seems like I'm keeping you up.I think you should go and have breakfast."

With that said Akali disappeared and Rukia found herself staring at herself.

"Woah. Did I really change that much?" She whispered to herself as she softly touched her face.

With a sigh she turned away from the mirror and headed out the door.The bedroom door swang open and a purple blur knocked her over settling on her stomach.

"Morning Rukia!" Trunks yelled into her face with a cute goofy smile.

"Morning Trunks. Did you sleep well?" Rukia asked the boy with a soft smile on her face.

"I slept great.Mom and Dad asked me to come fetch you for breakfast." The boy said seriously causing Rukia to inwardly giggle at how cute he looked.

"All right than lead the way." she said with a hint of playful seriousness in her voice she than gave a mocking salute and one Trunks returned with his goofy smile back on his face.

"Alright soldier let's move out!" He said making his voice thicker.

"Yessir!" Rukia mimicked him as she marched behind him as he counted one, two, three and one, two, three and again.

She noticed Trunks didn't lead her down stairs but up. Rukia was tempted to ask the boy when the most extra ordinary thing made her stop.

In was a forest in a glass igloo literally. They were atop the canopy and it was beautiful. The glass detailing added to the beauty.

A tuck on her arm brought her out of her daydreaming. She looked down to find an impatient Trunks.

Rukia smiled apologetically at him.He lead her away she after throw one last look at the indoor forest.

Trunks lead her past series of rooms and when they came to the end of a hallway as voices drifted towards them.

"I think she should attend Orange Star High school." a female said.Rukia clearly recognised the voice.Bulma.

"Why not just hire a tutor?" a male said.Vegeta.

Rukia looked down at Trunks whom looked up at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"Let's go but quietly." she said as the two tiptoed towards the only room in the hallway.

"Why a tutor Vegeta?" she heard Bulma asked.

"Why Orange Star high school woman?" Vegeta shot back. The two had made their way to the room as they peeked into the doorway. Vegeta had his back to them and Bulma was standing directly before him.

"Well...for one with all that she been through she should make new friends and also meet new people." Bulma said softly before her voice became louder and more hardened. "It's her choice and we can't keep her here.We're are not Rukia's parents!"

Vegeta flinched a little at the last sentence.He only wished it wasn't that way.The petite raven haired girl had made a big impression on him and now he only wish she'd call him...father.

Rukia saw how Vegeta flinched at the last sentence which caused her to flinch too but not at what was said but how it was said.There was longing in the blue haired woman's voice and Rukia knew Bulma wished it didn't have to be that way. On shaky legs she stood up quietly however not moving away from the doorway.

There was a comfortable silence in the room as both the abults recovered from the words that were spoken and left unspoken.

"Now Vegeta tell me why not Orange Star High school?" Bulma said softly breaking the silence.

"There's boys." Vegeta said with a scowl. Causing Bulma to laugh. Vegeta might have never admitted to anyone and not even to himself but her loved his wife's laughter, it always left a warm feeling in his chest always at the centre where he knew his heart beat.

Spoken like a protective father towards his daughter. Bulma thought with a smile.

Rukia chuckled silently at Vegeta's remark but her easy expression fall as her brow frowned. She never had a father but her Captain Ukitake was the closest to one and she wasn't ready to have someone else take his place even if she died. She quietly calmed herself and slightly turned her head to look at Trunks whom was still "spying" on his parents.

Rukia tapped his shoulder.

"Let's leave them." She whispered into his ear and he nodded leading her away from the room.

"Gohan's there and if we ask him he might look out for her and I can even pull a few strings and she can be in his class." Bulma said hope hinting her voice. Vegeta scoffed than sighed.

"Alright but only if she wants to." He said and Bulma let out a small squeal before throwing her arms around her husband.

Trunks and Rukia were seated at the table in a big empty room that was already led with food by the time Vegeta and Bulma got there. They greeted each other and settled into eating with a comfortable silence.

"Rukia I was wondering would you rather want to go to a high school or be tutored?" Bulma asked.

"Um...I don't know...I'll rather attend a high school." Rukia replied honestly.

"Alright than." Bulma said clapping her hands together. "I'll call Orange star high school's principal for your attendance on Monday."

"No that's okey I don't have to go." Rukia said with a smile.

"Oh why not?" Bulma asked.

"It's just no need for me to go to school." Rukia replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Oh but I think it's for the best and I think you should make some friend and have relationships with bo-"

"I think she gets the point Bulma." Vegeta interrupted with a annoyed grunt.

"-well...my point really was I insist that you go." Bulma said after shotting Vegeta a glare.

"Oh okey if you insist than it's fine." Rukia said.

"And we'll be going shopping before Chi- chi and her sons come." Bulma said mostly to Vegeta." And you'll be going along Vegeta."

Vegeta only grunted in replied at her "leaving-no-arguement" tone.

The smell of a new car filled Rukia's nostrils as she got into the car that waited outside for them, followed by a very hyperactive, energetic and excticed Trunks. Bulma sat shot gun as very upset Vegeta took the passenger seat.

"Mom can we go already!" Trunks wined at his mother.

"First seat belts." Bulma said as she strapped her seatbelt with Vegeta following suit however grumbling under his breath and earning a glare from Bulma.

Trunks and Rukia also strapped their seatbelts. And the car took off into West city. Rukia watched with interest at the new things that Karakura didn't have but West city did. Some of the car and bikes didn't even touch the ground, they flied.

The dress code was also a bit old fashioned. The buildings was also very much different some where curved and dome like while some were like that of skyscrapers.

I not in Karakura or close to it anymore. Rukia thought sadness swelling in her heart yet only for a moment as she watched Trunks hopping up and down in his seat.

Durning the drive Bulma would point out a few buildings and important places. Other business building some rivals and others partners.Rukia learned that in the business Bulma was the wealthiest of the many businesses in West city.

After a long yet interesting drive they arrived at a glass dome building glimmering in the sunlight. The building was three storyings high becoming smaller as it reached the top like three scoops of ice cream one smaller than the one beneath.

By than Trunks was jumping up and down with excitement. Bulma held out her hand towards her son whom took it immediately. Bulma led them eagerly into the mall with Vegeta and Rukia following behind not so eager.

"Why did you came along if you don't want to be here?" Rukia asked Vegeta whom was walking besides her with a scary scowl that chased any customer that came to close away.

"My wife is scary when she's angry." Vegeta admitted slightly embarrassed.

Rukia stared at him for a while than busted out laughing as she held onto her sides. The sound attracted a lot of attention from mostly teen boys. Vegeta stared at the petite girl besides him and his hard expression turned soft with a smile however only for a while when he noticed the boys that were staring at Rukia. When they caught him glaring at him they averted their eyes or scurried away.

"Wow...the mighty Vegeta...is...a-afraid...o-of his w-wife." Rukia said between breathes as she wiped a tear away. "Wow."

"Hey what are you two waiting for!" they heard Bulma yell.

"We'll be right there!" Rukia yelled back at her. Before turning her attention back to Vegeta. "Well she must be really scary if she even scares you."

Rukia shook her head as she watched Vegeta walk without answering and followed behind him still shaking her head.

"I don't like shopping that much either." Rukia confessed when she caught up with the raven haired man.

Surprised at her confession Vegeta rised a brow in question.

"I was a soldier before I died and I was a bit tomboyish back than but I did have my share of dresses too though." She said after catching his question.

Bulma turned around once again to find Vegeta and Rukia in deep discussion with that she smiled and didn't interrupt them she only continued walking heading towards a clothing store. The two behind followed behind smiling slightly.

Bulma went through the teen section with Rukia tacking behind however left Vegeta and Trunks behind.

Rukia looked at the pink dresses and grinced at them, Bulma caught the movement and laughted.

"Don't like pink that much?" She asked the teen that now was walking a wide distance from them. Rukia shook her head pure terror on her face. Bulma laughted again leading her away from the dresses and towards some jeans.

A while later smiling Bulma and a exhausted looking Rukia exited the shop with a load of bags that Bulma dumped on Vegeta. Trunks stepped away from his father not wanting to carry any bags.

"Rukia give Vegeta the bags." Bulma said as she headed towards a shoe shop.

"No that's fine I'll carry these." she said before Bulma bragged her away as she shot Vegeta a "help-me" look and Vegeta just shrugged his shoulders with a smile following the two with a heavy load.

Rukia collapsed into the car with a fast asleep Trunks after four hours of intense shopping however that didn't make her any less grateful for the clothes. The only thing that exhausted the saiyan prince is useless human activities... or so he called them.

Trunks snuggled closer to her as he gripped onto her black vest. Vegeta glared into the review at Rukia and his son, he smiled lightly at the scene before sighing with exhaustion.

The day unfortunately isn't over yet. He thought as he rubbed his temples at the headache that was forming. The only thing that exhausted the saiyan prince was useless human activities... or so he called them.

"That was fun wasn't it!" Bulma said as she climbed into the car, Vegeta grunted his disagreement. "Oh don't be like that honey. It wasn't that bad. Right Rukia?" Bulma asked as she turned to face the girl and her son. Rukia was fast asleep with Trunks cuddling into her side her vest entwined into his small fists.

Bulma smiled as she tapped Vegeta's shoulder.

"What woma-" he started when Bulma's hand clamped over his mouth as she put a finger on her lips.She pointed at the pair and Vegeta turned around to look and a smile appeared on his harden features. He looked Bulma whom was already looking at him before the two of them turned to the front again. Bulma started the car and drove out from the malls parking lot.

When the car jerked to a stop in front of the Capsule Corps both the passengers in the back seat both sat up wide awake startled. Bulma whom saw it all chuckled into her hand at their cute startled faces before climbing out of the cars with Vegeta following heading to the back towards the boot of the car.

Trunks and Rukia wiped the sleep out of their eyes before getting out of the car however barely out of the car when they both got dumped with bags. Both of them shared a look of disspare before heading into the building.Most of the bags was than placed in Rukia's bedroom.

"Why don't you put on something else and I'll washed that out." Bulma said to Rukia pointing at her clothes before leaving the room.

Rukia searched through the bags of clothes. She found white high ways shorts with two black belts with fake stutted rhino gemstones running the lenth of the belts, a black sleeveless crop top with a small poloneck, a pair of black high ankle combat boots and a black fingerless leather glove. Rukia quickly headed to the bathroom to change.

After getting dressed Rukia looked at herself in the mirror half thinking she'll see another one of herself in the mirror.

Rukia smiled at her reflection.

She liked the whole outfit.The black made her pale skin shine and the white matched her perfectly.

Rukia walked out of the bathroom just when Bulma knocked on the door.

"Rukia may I come in?" Bulma asked her voice muffled by the door.

"Yes." Rukia said quickly not to keep her waiting. Bulma entered the room with a brush and comb in hand.

"Wow." She said staring at Rukia whom sheepishly smiled back."You look amazing!"

"It's nothing." Rukia said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Oh I brought you these." Bulma said holding out the brush and the comb.Rukia took it with a smile and a thank you.

"Um...Would you mind?" Rukia said holding up the brush and the comb as Bulma was about to leave.Bulma tilted her head in confusion." Would you mind combing my hair?" Rukia said again her face flustered.

Bulma smiled at her and with a nod she took the comb and brush. Rukia took a seat in front of a white makeup table and a matching white stool.Bulma placed the the brush and comb on the table and started to losen Rukia's hair from the white cloth.

When she got it lose she placed it next to the brush and picked up the comb. Rukia's raven black hair slipped through her fingers as she combed through the raven locks.

"Your hair's as soft as silk." Bulma commented her and Rukia smiled at Bulma's reflection.

After combing the knots out Bulma started to brush it.The silence that filled the room was comfortable.

"Thank you for all the clothes." Rukia said breaking the silence. Bulma looked at Rukia through the mirror and smiled.

"You're welcome." Bulma replied and Rukia smiled widened. "Oh yeah...that reminds me.We have guests that I'd like you to meet.That's if you want and of you don't that's fine-"

"I'd like to." Rukia said amused at Bulma's stuttering.

"Okey." Bulma said with a sigh of relief.

After a while Bulma of brushing the ravenette's hair Bulma simply styled it by pinning some of her bangs back with a few strays hanging over her left eye however she let her hair fall down lose. When Bulma was done Rukia stared at herself in the mirror. The hair style changed how she looked, she didn't look gruff and boyish but like a teenage girl.

Rukia smiled at the blue haired woman.

"Thank you.I love it." she said and Bulma smiled broadly at her.

"You're welcome.You should wear you hair down more often it fits you." Bulma said."Oh and keep the brush and comb. You'll need it."

Just than the door swang open and Trunks bursted into the room.

"Mom their here!" He yelled pointing to the door.

"Right thank you sweetheart would you mind telling them I'd be there in a moment." Bulma said to Trunks whom nodded and left in a flash.Bulma turned to Rukia whom looked amused after the boy.

"Are you ready?" Bulma asked Rukia.

The petite girl took a deep breath before standing and followed Bulma out.

By the time Bulma and Rukia arrived downstairs Vegeta was talking with a woman and personally Rukia thought she was beautiful. Her raven black was pulled back into a tight and neat bun, her eyes was big and black framed by lashes. She was wearing a yellow sleeveless Chinese dress lined with red, white pants tucked into blue shoes.

Rukia's mouth fell open at the teen boy next to the woman. He seemed about eighteen but his body was seriously muscular and ripped. Rukia's face heated up as she found herself staring at him shamelessly.

Bulma chuckled when she saw Rukia gapped at the boy.

"That's Son Gohan." Bulma said to Rukia.

"How old is he?" Rukia asked her voice barely above a whisper.Bulma chuckled again and Rukia's face turned redder.

"Why? Do you like him?" Bulma teased.

"What no!" Rukia said a little to loud.

Everyone turned to Rukia and Bulma. Rukia gave a sheepish smile however inwardly groan when Bulma bursted out laughing. They were all staring dumbly at the laughing Bulma who was now shedding tears.

"Sorry..." Bulma said as she got her laughter under control. "Well that was a nice laugh.Rukia you're really funny."

"I wasn't trying to be funny." she said bluntly.

"Any how...Everyone this is Rukia." Bulma placed a hand on Rukia's shoulder and gently pushed her into the room. She pushed in front of Gohan so close Rukia had to take several steps back. " Rukia this is Gohan. Gohan, Rukia."

"Nice to meet you Gohan." Rukia said holding her hand out for a hand shake. Bulma rised her blue brows at the girls quick recovery. She must have had a lot of practice.

"Pleasure's all mine. Rukia." Gohan said taking her hand a give it a shake. Rukia shredded at the way Gohan said her name. She like it.

Well it seems out little Rukia is in love. She heard Akali whisper in the back of her mind followed by a soft chuckled. Rukia didn't listen to her guide as Bulma introduced Chi Chi.

" You are just the cutest thing." Chi Chi exclaimed shaking her hand.

"That's what Bulma said." Rukia replied to the raven haired woman whom laughter heartedly at her statement. Rukia simply smiled a the woman.

"Where's Goten?" Bulma asked when a two flashes swept through the room.

"I'm here!" A boy about the age or than Trunks exclaimed. Trunks grabbed his wrist and pulled him in front of Rukia.

"Goten this is Rukia.My new sister!" Trunks said.Gohan looked at the petite girl next to him and rised a black brow. Sister? he thought to himself.

Rukia kneed in front of the spikey raven haired boy and held out a hand with a sweet smile on her pale face.

"Hi. Goten it's nice to meet you." Rukia said and Goten grabbed her hand with the same goofy smile that Trunks weared.

"Nice to meet you too Rukia." he said and Rukia's smiled brightened. "Are you gonna be Gohan's girlfriend?" Goten asked inoccently. Gohan's face turned red and Rukia chuckled nervously as her face heated up too.

Vegeta pulled his lips into a snarl.

"Goten!" Gohan yelled as he nervously scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that." he said to Rukia.

"It's fine." She said. "It's no big deal."

Vegeta watched them as he thought of places to hide the young sayian's body after he'll brutaly killed him.

Bulma and Chi Chi on the other hand liked how the two teens was reacting.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Chi Chi asked Bulma whom rised a blue eye brow at her.

"If what you're thinking is the same as what I'm thinking." Bulma replied with a devilish smirk.

Vegeta watched the two woman and narrowed his black eyes at them.

"Don't even think about it woman." He hissed into Bulma's ear.

"What?" She asked sweetly.

Rukia and Gohan stared at the three abults that started arguing. They looked at each other than turned back at the abults.

"Okey." Gohan said slowly.He tapped Rukia's shoulder." Come on."

He lead her away from the bickering abults that were acting like children.

The three abults stopped when they noticed their audience has walked away side by side in deep discussion. Chi Chi and Bulma grinned at Vegeta as the man's shoulders slumped in defeat.
