Chapter 2
Okay, I'm back with Chapter 2! Angel is a little bit nervous about meeting her new family. And who wouldn't be if they knew their father was...VEGETA?!
***
Angel grinned wildly as she walked home with her new foster mother. She held her head high and proud, the way any little girl would after defeating an enemy of such monstrous proportions. Angel was proud of herself. She knew with all her heart that she had done the right thing and that now she would be rewarded for it.
(Okay, now we switch into the 1st person. Angel...)
I skipped once and gripped my new mommy's hand. She smiled warmly down at me. I grinned back up.
"How old is my brother?" I asked suddenly.
"He's 8 years old, Angel," she said with a grin.
"Oh. He's my age, then?" I asked, "I like him already, he's cute." My mom chuckled at the remark and we stopped in front of my new house.
"What's my new dad like?" I asked. Bulma stopped short.
"Well, I guess I have a few things to explain about Vegeta," she said slowly, "First off, call him Vegeta, not Dad. He gets a little steamed when Trunks calls him that."
"Why, Mom?" I asked.
"Please, call me Bulma, okay?" she said kindly, "Even Trunks does, okay, sweetie?" I nodded, just happy to be with someone who wouldn't feed me rotten broccoli.
"Bulma!" I heard a loud, roaring voice yell. I was guessing that it was Vegeta. Bulma looked at the angry man in front of her and proved my theory.
"Vegeta, I'm sorry, I'll get you and the kids lunch now," she sighed and raced to the kitchen.
"Kids?" He asked all of the sudden, "I thought we only had one?"
"Not anymore," she grinned at him with a teasing eye, "I adopted a little girl. There she is. Her name is Angel. Be nice, Vegeta." He looked down at me with obsidian eyes, deep black pools that could never be penetrated.
"So you're the new brat," he growled. I gulped and nodded silently.
"Yes, Mr. Vegeta, sir," I said in a shaky voice. He blinked down at me.
Vegeta was not used to this expression on her face. He had seen it before, but not like this. Not in the face of an innocent child.
"What is wrong?" he asked in a more gentle tone.
"My uncle yelled at me like that," I answered fearfully. I was afraid that this man might be like my uncle, even a little bit.
"Don't worry, Angel," Bulma said kindly, "Vegeta is almost nothing like your uncle, okay?" She whispered to Vegeta, "I'll explain later." He nodded and knelt to my eye level.
"Has Trunks told you that I'm a fighter, little one?" he asked. Bulma stopped short. She had never heard Vegeta talk to anyone in that tone before. He actually sounded...kind. Like a human being.
Vegeta was surprised that he had spoken to the small child the way he had. It was the same way that his old friend, Nabo, used to talk to him when he missed his father. He missed his father quite dearly, and Nabo would always comfort him with the same tone of voice he had just used for Angel.
For some reason, he sensed that this child had been through a lot. A lot more than he could imagine.
I looked up into my new father's eyes, the ones that danced happily at memories past. I knew he had gone through a fate like mine, somehow. And somehow, I would make it up to him.
"You're a fighter, Mr. Vegeta?" I asked.
"Yes," he said, "But call me Vegeta."
"Yes, Vegeta," I said calmly, "If you are a fighter, then I want to be one too." His eyes looked down at me in wonder. Then he smiled. I smiled back. He reached down and picked me up.
"Alright, little one," He said, "I will teach you. I promise." I grinned and threw my hands around his neck.
I felt him hesitate for a moment, but then he returned the hug.
Bulma smiled from her perch against the kitchen door. Vegeta had never made a promise to anyone, and she was certain that it was because he had many experiences with promises going unfulfilled. Vegeta would teach their new daughter, she was happy for her husband for finding something to do with the child that they would both be happy with.
She smiled again and then raced to check on the rice.

That's Chapter 2! Wow, Vegeta is actually being nice! I wonder what other cool effects little Angel will have on the cold-hearted Saiyan. Come back for Chapter 3! I probably will upload about 3 chapters of this, it's already done, I just had to find some place to put it. I didn't even know about Fanfiction.net until a guy named Hurricane told me. Please review! Well, see ya!
Angel of the Dragon.
