Vegeta and Kurumi walked into the living room where Bulma sat on the couch next to Trunks and Gohan. "Who's the girl, Vegeta?" Bulma asked and smiled. "This is an old friend, Kurumi." Vegeta answered in the regular stern voice.
"I think it is okay to tell them. But who is that?" Kurumi asked and pointed toward Gohan. Vegeta turned toward Gohan and looked at Bulma, "What is he doing here?"
"I ask again... Who is he? I can't tell Bulma and Trunks unless he will not interfer!" Kurumi yelled and turned to Vegeta. "Who is that person?"
"He is Kakarotto's son, Gohan. He shouldn't have anything to do with you." Vegeta answered. Kurumi nodded slowly, thinking about the result of telling the group. "Trunks. You were going to leave to go back to the future, right?" Kurumi asked. Trunks nodded.
"Mind if you post pone your trip?" Kurumi smiled and turned to Gohan, "Can you fight? I mean really fight and not be some weakling who thinks they have to 'help' each bad guy like your father was?"
"What do you know about my father?" Gohan yelled at Kurumi. "I know plently, little boy. Are you going to help Vegeta and I or go home and cry?" Kurumi hissed back.
"Mind telling us, what is going on?" Bulma spoke up and the girl turned to her. "Gladly," Kurumi answered in a mock sweet tone, "We are going to fight a monster like nothing before. We have to kill him. You know, like gone forever. To save your future."

Bulma, Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan, and Kurumi stood outside. "You have a week to train. It isn't enough but we need to kill Ikkado. And I need a place to stay," Kurumi stated, a small grin on her face.
"You could have stayed with us in Trunk's room but he is staying and he will need that room." Bulma said and gave Gohan a soft nudge from behind.
"I bet my mom wouldn't mind if you stayed with us. My dad is gone and she might like the extra company and another girl around the house." Gohan suggested wearily as Kurumi nodded.
"Great idea, Gohan!" Bulma smiled and turned to Kurumi. "A week, right?"
"Right. I am going to train. Let's go, Gohan." Kurumi said and flew up into the sky. Gohan followed after her as the others went inside.

Gohan and Kurumi landed right outside his house as Chichi ran out of the door, "Where in the world were you, Gohan? Tell me where you are going or..." Chichi stopped as she turned to Kurumi. "And who is this, Gohan!? Don't tell me you are bringing girls home instead of wild animals!"
"Nice to meet you, ma'am. My name is Kurumi and I am related to Vegeta. I needed a place to stay and he," Kurumi interrupted and pointed to Gohan, "volunteered to let me stay with you. He said you might like the extra company."
"He did, did he?" Chichi put her hands on her hips and turned to Gohan, "Young man, what is going on and why is she here? The whole story."
Gohan gulped and looked at Kurumi, who nodded, and he begun, "I have bad news and good news. Good news, we might live. Bad news is that we have to go fight another monster in a week."
"NO!" Chichi yelled. "You just defeated that thing called Cell and I will not lose you to another monster made by some psychopath."
"Miss! If we do not defeat this 'thing', we will all die. Every single alien out there including your pathetic son. Everyone. After it kills the aliens, it will go for the humans. People will cry out in terror and panic as he comes toward them. You will have to listen to each cry because you rejected your son's wish to kill the monster.
"He will kill everyone in sight. An underground city will be built for the few hundred remaining survivors such as myself. We will slowly starve to death... very slowly because you did not let your son kill this monster. If anyone tries to go above to get supplies, they die. And the monster knows we are down there and he can get down there but he laughs at our pain and suffering. Now, ma'am, answer me this. Will you still object from your son going to everyone's lives?"
Chichi stared at the young girl in disbelief and then answered, "Fine." Kurumi bowed and a sly smile spread across her face, "Thank you."

Gohan sat on his bed as Kurumi walked over to the window. The night air was chilly as Kurumi opened the window and stared at the sky. "I haven't seen the stars in so long. I used to lay on the wet grass at night and just stare at the sky and stars before him."
Gohan looked up and stared at Kurumi from behind. The gently breeze blew the light purple strands away from her face. "What is it like?" Gohan asked.
"Terrible. I lived in the Underground with Bulma, Bra, and Marroon. Don't tell them about Bra. She is Vegeta's and Bulma's daughter, my aunt. I share my room with my best friend, Maigo. She is a regular human unlike me and her family was killed. Because of me."
"What did you do, Kurumi?"
"I was two and something and this guy kidnapped me. Everyone wanted power. They 'needed' power as they said to everyone. As I was saying, this guy kidnapped me for my power. For some reason, I turned to a Super Saiyajin and accidently killed his family. He had made Ikkado to steal our powers.
"I ran away from him and he released Ikkado to kill all the 'mutts'. You and me are considered mutts. Anyone with more than one race is a mutt. He kill every single mutt except me.
"He wanted me to suffer. He made me come to that spot where my father was lying on the ground. Dead. I was the one who found him!" Kurumi bowed her head and Gohan could tell she was crying but she went on with the tale.
"I hated my father and Marroon after that. She promised that he would kill Ikkado but he died! He died three pathetic minutes into the battle! He was a weakling. Four years after that I went to save Vegeta but I froze and Ikkado killed him. We hid in the Underground and.." Kurumi sniffled and turned to Gohan, "And we live in fear. My mother said not to come back and to stay here."
"Kurumi, we will defeat Ikkado. I promise." Gohan whispered as he walked up behind Kurumi and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Don't make promises." Kurumi whispered as she turned around, only inches from Gohan's face. The two eleven year olds blushed and Gohan quickly stepped back.
"Don't get too close because everyone who does dies." Kurumi hissed. Gohan shrugged, "That will be the risk I will take."
"I'm going outside to train. G'night." Kurumi said and jumped backwards out of his window.
