Chapter 2

~~~~
~~~~

Slowly, she opened her eyes. Then quickly shut them again. Ouch.
The light. It hurt. Everything hurt. Her entire body. She had
been numb to the pain at first, having just turned Super Saiyan had
given her a burst of energy that she had been unstoppable...now it
hurt....hurt so much.

And Trunks? Where was Trunks? He should've been able to find
her by now...She slowly looked around. "Trunks?" She whispered
in pain...but he wasn't there. Where was he!! Where was her
brother!?!?! She couldn't even feel his ki anywhere!

Tears suddenly filled her eyes. Alone...She felt so alone now...She
had been too late, hadn't she? Was he dead? Had she been too
late to help him? A sob formed on her lips and she couldn't stop
it...

"Shh...it's okay...your safe..." A familiar voice whispered. "You had
quite an accident...shh..." Warm arms held her....

Mother...? MOTHER!! She sobbed into her mothers arms. Soon,
she quieted down and looked up at her mother...younger. Her
mother was much younger...She had done it! She was back in time!!
That was the only explaination!!

"I did it!" Usagi whispered, suddenly a little happier. "I actually
did it! It worked, mother, it really worked!!" She gushed out.
"Where's Trunks? Is he here or with father! Please, tell me! Have
the Androids arrived yet! Is Goku alive still! Did the virus kill
him!?! Did the cure work! Please! Is Gohan safe! Please, you have
to tell me mother!"

Bulma was (as you might expect) a little...um..confused? "Um...miss?
Could you please slow down...what are you talking about? I'm not
your mother...who's Trunks? And how do you know Goku and
Gohan? And what do you mean by Androids?"

Usagi looked at her in shock. "You mean...he hasn't arrived yet?
But...he left before me...Trunks *should* be here...I should be able
to feel him..." She whispered, then gasped, looking straight into
Bulma's eyes. "What is the date!?"

"Um....July 19..." (AN: okay..so I'm makin' a date up...and just pic
ANY date for DBZ to take place...cuz I *really* don't know what
year the show is SUPPOSED to take place in..shrugs so just pic a
year lol)

Usagi blinked in surprise..."And...the time...please! Tell me the
time!!"

"6:09 pm..." Bulma said, still confused...

"40 hours..." She whispered...."40 hours til he'll be here...."

"Who?"

"Vegeta...my father..." Usagi smiled slightly. But then she thought
for a moment..."I'm too early. It messed up....I really screwed up
this time...Trunks won't be here for years..."

Usagi sighed....

"Um...I'm Bulma, would you mind telling me about yourself?" Bulma
asked nervously.

Usagi realized that she was still there. "Oh! I'm so sorry! My
name is Usagi...and um...well...I can't tell you anything else..."

"Then can you tell me what you were doing in a time machine with
Capsole Corp."

Usagi looked down. Shit...I should've known she'd notice
that......"Well...um...That's because I'm from the future...um....I'm
your daughter from the future...and I've come back in time to stop
some terrible things from happening, but I was injured before I
left, and I couldn't check to see if I had the date right...and now
I've gone back in time too far...My brother, Trunks, also left
before me, and he should be here in about three years..."

"What happens?" Bulma asked, her mind racing....she had a
daughter! A daughter and son!!

"In about 5 years, two androids will appear, created by Dr. Gero.
They will kill all of the Earth's protectors, except for Gohan,
Trunks, and myself...Goku will die from a virus that Trunks has the
cure for...The Androids...they are ruthless...They will plague the
world, killing everything they find...destroying everything they
find...they play a game...a killing game that they enjoy more than
anything in the world. Just before I left, Gohan dies...and I made
Trunks leave so he could use a time machine to save us...and I was
forced to fight the Androids myself...I destroyed them, barely...and
somehow made it to the last time machine, trying to follow Trunks
so I could help him...but I messed up and now I'm in this time..."
She sighed, smiling slightly. "I guess I get to meet my father,
though...that will be nice...to finally meet the Prince of Saiyans..."

"Um...who exactly is your father?" Bulma asked...praying that it
wasn't someone she hated....

"Oh! He is Vegeta, Prince of Saiyans...he should be arriving at
Earth in about 40 hours....You were preparing for his and Nappa's
arrival, weren't you?" She asked, trying to think about what her
mother had once told her...

"You mean...those two aliens...one of them...is...your father!?!" Of
course, Bulma did the only logical thing to do in this situation....she
fainted....

"Okay...that didn't go as planned...well....I didn't really plan it...so I
guess it's okay..." Usagi sighed. She had to figure out a way to
meet her father, and not make him hate her. He was sure
to...especially since she was more powerful than him. He was very
prideful...and if he felt threatened by her, then he could hate her
more than ever....so she had to make him think she was strong...but
not as strong as she really was....Confusing.....Usagi thought sadly.
Now, I wait...

~~~~

...The Day The Saiyans Arrive...

Usagi sighed slightly. This was it...the day she finally would meet
her father. She couldn't wait any long...

She was fully healed, thanx to both her Saiyan blood and the
medical attention Bulma had given her. Her mother had been very
understanding about the situation, and had introduced her to
Krillin...she still remembered the look on Krillin's face when he met
her...

~~Flashback~~

Krillin stood suddenly at the site of the blonde girl beside Bulma...
"Um...hey Bulma! It's good to see you again...um...so, who's the girl?"

"This is Usagi..."

Usagi smiled. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you..." She
whispered...Then suddenly hugged him, the look on his face was
priceless...

Krillin blushed, a confused expression stuck on his face.

Tears were in Usagi's eyes..."I'm...I'm sorry. It's just that...um..."
She sighed and looked at Bulma. "Um....it's just nice to meet you,
Krillin..." She whispered. It wasn't time to tell him yet. She didn't
think she could get through another description of her time...the
future...

Bulma took over the conversation..."Usagi's going to be at the battle
with the two Saiyans. She said she wasn't going to fight, but she
wanted to be there to um...meet the Saiyans."

"What!?! Are you crazy! You're going to let her join us..."

"She can take care of herself..." Bulma shrugged.

Usagi sighed. "Take a look at my power, Krillin. I think I can take
care of myself..."

Krillin gasped slightly. She was stronger than he was!! Stronger than
anyone he had ever met... (AN: And she was still hiding almost all her
power...remember? She can make it goes as low at 5000 when she's
not injured or out of power...and if she's injured/out of power, she
can make it almost non-existant...hence Trunks thinking she was dead...)

"I...I guess you can come along..." Krillin whispered...

Usagi smiled. "Thank you, Krillin..."

~~End Flashback~~

So now she was here...flying along side Krillin...She couldn't wait any
longer to meet her father. And the thought of training with him...but she
couldn't help but wonder what he would think of her? She knew that
if he knew her true power, he would reject her. It didn't matter how
powerful she was...if she was more powerful than him, his arrogance
would take over and he would hate her forever. She wouldn't be able
to bear the thought. So she hid almost all her power...but she was so
excited, that she knew it was fluctuating....

It was probably somewhere between 7500 and 8000...still more than
the other's powers...but not enough to surpass Vegeta's...

Krillin knew, however....She had given Bulma permission to tell him as
much as she wanted...and Bulma had told him everything...from the
Androids to everyone's deaths...and of her love for Gohan...

Suddenly, tears filled her eyes as she thought about his death...she
loved him...she had always loved him...she had never told him either...
He loved her like a sister...like Trunks loved her...and...and...He thought
she had loved him like a brother...but it had always been deeper than
that. And now she would do everything to keep this Gohan safe...to
make sure that he knew that her future self loved him, without telling
him herself...somehow...she had to make him see her future self in that
way...but right now, Gohan was only a boy of 5...maybe 5 1/2 years old.

She sighed softly, taking a deep breath...soon she would meet both
Gohan's younger self...Piccolo...and....her Father...





The end!!!





Actually...it's not! I just felt like freaking all of you out by saying that!
Well..on with Chapter 2!!






When they arrived, Piccolo and Gohan were staring off into the distance.
Two powers were coming their way, and Usagi smiled, an expression that
seemed to contrast with the others.

Finally...I get to meet my father! She thought happily...Her stomache tossed
and turned with butterflies. Would he hate her? Would he like her? What
would he think of her?

Slowly, the two Saiyans appeared in the distance...then landed on the ground
near them...

Nappa immediatly checked for power levels...Pointing at her as the highest...

Vegeta's eyes rested on her, and their eyes locked with each other...

And he knew...there was something about her...that her eyes told everything
that was important...it showed her Saiyan power...her human spirit...her love
of life and peace...and his eyes narrowed...He opened his mouth to speak,
but she beat him to it...

"Hello, Vegeta...it's a pleasure to finally meet the Prince of Saiyans..." She
said coldly. If she acted even a little bit weak, then he would hate her...
consider her unworthy to be a Princess of the Saiyan race...one of the last
remaining descendants...

"Who the hell are you?" He asked, eyes blazing angrily...how did this girl
know who he was? And why did he feel a connection with her.

"Usagi....my name is Usagi..." She whispered, then she smiled/smirked...
(AN: Think about it! She's his daughter! Of course she's going to take
after him in SOME way...ponders...well...kinda? lol) "Don't worry about
me...I'm just here to watch the battle." She said as she sat down
between both sides of the fight, not taking her eyes off Vegeta...

Vegeta looked confused for a moment, then nodded. "Don't get in the way,
and I won't kill you right away, little girl..." He growled at her, turning his
attention towards the Z fighters...but he kept a close watch of her...

He had a feeling that she was important...and powerful...her eyes told all...
