"You do remember." She only smirked.
"But..I..you...here...Ahhh!!" Vegeta yelled in frustration. Only Akira could aggravate him so.
"Yes, it's me. I'm alive, was sent away. Lived on several planets for years...yada, yada, yada." She in her sarcastic tone, quieted him down.
"Wait a minute!" Bulma spoke up. "What's going on here?!?"
"It is none of you concern woman." Vegeta snapped.
"My Prince, that is no way to treat your hostess." Akira mockingly spoke. A smile crawled across lips.
"Right." He mumbled an apology. "We were part of the same court on Vegeta-sei. She was the daughter of a noble family. She was my sparring partner." He explained without looking in the eyes of Bulma, Goku or Gohan. Bulma knew that the stuck up saiyan was hiding something.
"Anything else Vegeta?" She asked
"No." He stated "May we go somewhere more private to discuss somethings?"
"My prince, I would prefer to stay here. I know what you are going to ask me. It would please me if Goku and Gohan remained, the woman may stay. I care not either way."
"Very well." He straighten himself. "What is your business on Earth?"
"If you had been a nomad for years living on one planet after the other with no one like you, no family, wouldn't you want to find your brother and your betrothed?" Vegeta's eyes glared at Akira. She was going to tell the others.
"Betrothed? What that?" Goku asked.
"I was arranged to be someone's mate when I reached a certain age." Akira spoke softly barely audible for Bulma's ears to hear, but all the saiyans heard every word. "I've found him and my brother." She held her head low. As if those words brought shame to her.
"Brother? Betrothed? Which one is which?!?" Bulma yelled
"Goku is my brother and my betrothed is..." She paused taking in a quick breath. It had been years since she spoke of Vegeta as her betrothed.
"Me, I am." Vegeta spoke up.
Akira looked at Vegeta then was nearly tackled by Goku's hug. "I have a sister!! This is great!" Goku yelled at he spun the struggling woman around in a circle.
"Put me down Goku. Do not make me destroy my only brother." He scream filled Goku's ears. Slowly he put her down. She smiles to him slightly. It was a genuine smile. Goku smiled back.
"So...your my aunt huh?" Gohan asked sheepishly rubbing a hand through his hair.
Akira walks to Gohan and bends down. "Yes, I guess I am."
"It's too bad really." he blushed. "Now I feel kinda silly, think my aunt is hot." Goku burst out laughing followed by the other except Vegeta. Akira chuckled.
"It's ok." Akira smiled, patting him on the head she stood up and faced Vegeta again. "Where does that leave us?"
"I don't know. I thought you were dead. With Bardock."
"No, I was going to go with father. I was afraid I would see you. That we would be forced to fight. But father sent me to another planet and told me not to leave. Since the day you joined Freiza, I feared I would have to kill you. I have made a mistake coming here. I'm leaving." She turned and began to step out of the door.
"Wait Akira!" Goku ran after her. Followed by Gohan. "You can't leave. You have to meet ChiChi and the others. Please." He begged with almost a puppy dog face.
"Yeah, please. I've never had an aunt before. We could spar?" Gohan's eyes also implored Akira.
Her eyes moved from Goku and Gohan to Vegeta. He stood there, just staring. It wasn't a cold stare, like it had been before. This time it was warm and in a way he was pleading to her. "I will stay only for a few days. Then I will leave."
"YAHOO!!!" Goku laughed and grabbed Akira for the second bear-hug spinning her.
"GOKU DOWN NOW!!" He set her down still laughing and still excited. "This is great! You can stay with us and ..."
"But dad where is she gona sleep. We don't have room at our house." His son's interruption was right. There wasn't any room for Akira in Goku's small house.
"I ..could let...her ...stay here...maybe?" Bulma said hesitantly. This woman intimidated her in a way she couldn't put her finger on.
"That's a great idea Bulma!! Thanks." Goku cheerfully hugged Bulma. "But first I want her to meet ChiChi."
"I thank you for your hospitality, but it will be unnecessary." Akira spoke sternly. "I don't think my presence is that welcome." Acknowledging Vegeta's rigid gaze.
"Of course not. " Bulma said cheerfully. "Veggie-head just isn't used to having a woman around, who can kick his ass." She laughed.
"Shut your mouth. You worthless baka!" He yelled at Bulma. "I'd like to see her try." A smile stretched across his face.
"OH, you be quite you big monkey!!" Bulma yelled back at Vegeta. "Don't mind him. You are staying at my house. There is plenty of room."
"Come on Akira." Goku tugged at his sisters hand. "I want ChiChi to meet my sister. Hey, sister.. I like saying that. I have a sister. Hahahaha." Goku laughed, jumping up and down.
"I will agree to go if you let my hand go and stop jumping around."
"Oh, sorry." He let her hand go. "Come on." He took off to his house.
"Hurry up Akira." Gohan called out as he flew after his father.
"Be sure to come back when your done at Goku's, your room will be ready then."
"Thanks." Akira extended her hand to Bulma, who gladly excepted it. Akira took flight. She glanced behind her, to see Vegeta staring up at her. His stern glaze softened some. She smirked and flew faster to catch her brother and nephew.
"But..I..you...here...Ahhh!!" Vegeta yelled in frustration. Only Akira could aggravate him so.
"Yes, it's me. I'm alive, was sent away. Lived on several planets for years...yada, yada, yada." She in her sarcastic tone, quieted him down.
