I didn't have time to read over the chapter before I sent it so I apologize for any mistakes. Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ and stuff.

Chapter 22 Searching

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Tekego tried to follow the familiar ki as it went into another room. He quickly ran down the halls fast enough for the teachers to not have noticed the student pass by; he finally reached the room and looked in a window. He found Sakura pull out a case, and she opened it to reveal a silver-looking instrument. To a person who knew band instruments, they would have thought she pulled out a trumpet although it did have a slide. (Note: I am into music... so I know all about the instruments orchestra stringed instruments and band instruments too... So... Yeah... Just to let you know on how I know a bit about the instruments that you might have never heard of before... But I don't play the Soprano Trombone.) She put the metal horn together and looked up at the window. She noticed Tekego watching her. She walked up to the door and opened it for him.

"Wanna come in? The teacher won't mind; he knows we won't destroy anything here..." The teen nodded as he walked in to look at the small trombone.

"What is that?" he asked touching the shiny instrument.

"My horn. This is what is sounds like!" She sucked in a lot of air before blowing into it.

"So... how was class?" asked Goten to Trunks who was still gobbling down his food.

"Um... interesting..." he replied with a sweat drop. He still hadn't told Goten he was taking a cooking class. He just hoped his grandfather wouldn't blab or he would be done for.

"We were in the Home Economics room; we found Sakura making some pies and helped her out a bit since we had nothing else to do..." lied the prince hoping that they would buy it.

"Oh..."

"But I think grandfather has gotten over his fear of ovens!" exclaimed Trunks as he patted his grandfather on the back.

The king glared at his grandson, "No touchie..."

Since all of the saiyans had very sensitive hearing they heard someone or something heading to the cafeteria at lightning speed. They all stopped eating and turned to see who would come in.

"IT'S GONNA EAT ME!!!!!!"

All saiyans and some of the students turned to Frieza who charged in the room with the roach not far behind. Frieza coward behind the saiyans; he discovered them sitting at a table on the other side of the room.

"Sir?" asked Trunks as he glanced at the lizard that hid behind them.

"SHHH! Keep THAT THING away from ME!" he pleaded shutting his eyes closed. They all turned to the roach that made most of the girls scream when they saw it fly by. But it stopped in the middle of the floor when it couldn't find the one it was chasing before.

"This is pathetic Frieza; here your are, being a COWARD to a bug that shouldn't be harmful! It's pitiful to see you become fearful instead of being the feared!" stated Bardock as he smirked to the 'teacher'.

"But that thing almost RUINED my face with this acid it spit out!"

King Vegeta choked on his food at Frieza's comment; the lizard glared at the king.

The saiyans noticed the roach looking at them; then it raised their wings. "Crap..." muttered Goten as he slowly got up from his seat.

Frieza looked at Goten becoming panicked, "What do you mean by 'Crap'?! Are you saying that the THING was after YOU too also?!" Frieza burst out in laughter; "I should have known!"

"It's not like it would DIE or anything! We tried every method possible!" snapped Trunks as he glared at Frieza. The villain snorted; they all looked at the roach as it headed to them. Every one of the saiyans gasped as they watched it come closer. They all ran out of the lunchroom in opposite directions.

%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%

Tekego blinked. "That was long..." he stated as Sakura put her brass horn down. A sweat drop fell from the back of her head.

"Of course it's slow! It goes at LEAST twenty times faster than that! The last time I played it at full speed I blacked out before I could even finish it; found myself in the nurses office," she simply stated as she put the instrument back in it's case.

He shook his head; they both noticed people running down the halls after a few sends went by.

"The hell?" Sakura asked as she walked up to the window.

"I bet a fight is going on outside; I know how much the students here like to watch them," Tekego explained as he sat back in a blue chair.

"True..." She walked back into the room and sat on a stool. "So... you're new to the school?" she asked.

"Yes. I don't think I will stay for much longer."

"How's that?" she asked.

"We'll move to a different town. We have been doing this for the past twelve years."

"TWELVE?! Whoa... How there MUST be some reason behind that explanation!" she exclaimed as she leaned in to hear him more clear.

He snorted, "It's none of your business. I have told you too much!" he turned away from her about to head to the door.

She blinked, "What's the reason? Have you been looking for a suitable place to live?" Tekego kept walking to the door. "Is someone after your family?" He started to twist the handle to leave the room. "Are you searching for someone? A family member?" she asked him still at her seat. Tekego froze; Sakura jumped off of the seat and went over to him. "Who is it that's lost?"

He stood as still as a soldier; not a sound he had made. "Who is it?"

He turned around with a bright blue ki blast ready in his hand. "One move closer and I kill you."

She looked up at him, "Why?"

"Why what?" he glared at her. She was really pushing his buttons.

"Why are you acting so stubborn?! It's so annoying! Maybe if you would just TELL me what's going on, I MIGHT be able to help you OUT." Her face softened up, "Please." She took another step closer to him.

He glared as he released the ball of energy. She gasped as she tried to capture it in her hands. She did succeed and crushed it in her hands trying to not let the raw energy stray to hurt an innocent.

"It takes more than that to kill me," she bragged turning her back to him, "And I don't have the time to be talking to the likes of you IF you're going to continue acting like that." Tekego was still standing there shocked beyond belief. He stared at her causing Sakura to fidget under his gazing eyes.

"Well, if you MUST know," he opened up the door to a now empty hallway, "My family is looking for our sister. She should be in a grade lower than the one we're in right now as I have figured out. That about the age group she's in."

"And her name is..."

"Jueru, I believe that's what it is..."

"It's saiyan..." she mumbled. He nodded, "Yes. We want her back since my mother had taken her to some foreign planet to keep her away from her saiyan heritage. It's such a disgrace to the saiyan race! I'm surprised that father hasn't killed her yet."

"What? But that's against the law! She shouldn't be killed for what she felt was right to do!" exclaimed the female saiyan as her face turned red with anger.

"You know nothing of the saiyan culture."

"I know some! I can speak the language; I was taught it at a young age... But I've also been taught by the King and other saiyans that have lived there!"

He snorted, "A saiyan wannabe."

He was really ticking Sakura off at this moment. She then let out a breath trying to relive some frustration, "I'm not going to argue anymore... This is pointless." She walked out of the room but paused as she looked back at Tekego. He too was exiting the room; she gave a weak smile.

"I'll see you later when the band performs," she waved and ran off to her next class.

He stood there and looked up to the ceiling, "Thank you. For my search has ended." He looked back at Sakura as she disappeared from sight. "It's a shame she's become very soft."
