Chapter 5

~~~~
~~~~

Trunks turned towards the Zfighters. They had just watched
him beat Frieza and his father. He looked at them closely...
There was Krillin, Tien, ChowSu, Yamcha, Bulma...his mother...
Vegeta...his father...They were staring at him in confusion.

Bulma was staring at him as if in recognition...of something...
Vegeta had the same look...His face angry...cold...arrogant...
Vegeta and Usagi looked so much alike when they were angry...
and when they smiled...and smirked...as they often did...Trunks
sighed.

"Hello..." He said to them...

~~~~

Usagi closed her eyes for a moment...Should she be doing this?
Should she have gone with her father instead of staying on Earth?
She wasn't sure...But something told her that she should do this...

Vegeta was injured...badly. He was unconscious at the moment,
and if she wasn't there, she..well...she wasn't sure if he'd get the
right treatment. She had heard something from Gohan once
about how Saiyans could be put in machines that heal them
quickly. She had never seen one..they had all be destroyed long
before she was born...but they had them...whereever they were
going.

She smiled to herself. The next few weeks would be full of
unknowns. She had been told of how Vegeta left...and how he
returned to Namek after the battle with Goku...but still...she had
no clue what happened between those two events...so with a
sigh and a long deep breath, she waited for the moment they
landed......at wherever they were going...

Slowly...she fell asleep...

She woke up a few hours later...to find the door to her space
ship being opened up by strange creatures wearing clothes
similar to Vegeta's. They had some equipment which they used
to scan her with...

"She's Saiyan..." One whispered in awe, stepping away from
her as she stepped out of the ship.

She looked at them curiously, then at Vegeta's space ship...
He wasn't there..."Where did you take, Vegeta?" She
whispered at them coldly, intimidation always worked
wonders when you needed something done...or answered.

"He...he..h-h-he..is...um...w-we took him to...t-to be...h-healed..."
One whispered, scared of her...She raised an eyebrow...

"Take me to him..."

They nodded, and quickly led her to him.....

(AN: Ya know...I noticed that I forgot to tell you what she
was wearing...well...to put it bluntly, think about what Trunks
wore, then what Gohan wore (you know...like Piccolo) and mix
them...make them more form fitting...and ya got what SHE wore...
only...no cape...lol...and no jacket thingy...lol...now! On with the
fic!!!)

She stayed with Vegeta for awhile...watching him carefully...
Making sure they didn't do anything to hurt him while he was
injured...

However...slowly, they began making wise-cracks about him and
Earth...and she felt a spike in Vegeta's power...he was awake...and
much stronger...She smirked slightly as the machine cracked...and
suddenly, they all were blasted by his energy. The "doctors"
were dead in seconds. When he got out, she was the only one
still standing.

"YOU!!!" He glared..."What are *you* doing here, brat!?!"

She shrugged. "I thought you might like the company...maybe not...
but I felt like the company, so I followed you here..."

"Brat! If I wasn't in such a hurry, I'd kill you right now!"

She shrugged again. "Sooo...ready to go to Namek, Vegeta?" She
smiled at him, making him slightly uneasy.

How did she know that's where I was going to go...? He thought
angrily.

She looked at him again. "I think we should hurry if we want to get the
Dragon Balls. Freiza is already on his way there...in fact, he should
be there soon, so I think that this conversation can wait, don't you?"

He glared at her, then took off towards the space pods...She smiled
and followed....

Vegeta looked at the boy in front of him...he reminded him of
someone....but who?

Maybe.......

Usagi! Yes....this boy reminded him of that BRAT
Usagi...the look on his face was so much like Usagi's that he
could have sworn they were related. And he also held the
look in his eyes...the look that told all. That told of his
past...his future...of the Saiyan power within him.

But Usagi was dead...how could this boy be related to her...
He still remembered her...Usagi...the brat that refused to
give up. She had somehow found a small place in his heart...and...
And everyone elses. He remembered Bulma's reaction to
Usagi's death. It was a reaction only a mother could have...
but he still didn't understand...that girl...she had been very
powerful...more powerful than he could imagine....yet had
died....against Freiza no less....

They had tried the Dragon Balls...but it refused to save her...for
some reason, it refused to tell why...they all assumed she had
already been revived by it...they just weren't sure...

Either way...she was dead....but now...she had once again
bothered him. Why couldn't he forget her? And why did
this *boy* with the lavender hair...make him think of Usagi....?

Vegeta's eyes narrowed...and if this boy was like Usagi...
Would he be just as annoying? He hoped not. There had
been times he wanted to kill the blonde brat...and times he
had wanted to protect her....

"So, *boy*, who are you and why are you here?" Vegeta
growled...
