Saiyajin Siblings: The Demon Within - Chapter 1
Author's Note: I don't own DB/Z.



Life has a way of bringing twists and turns with each second that passes. How fate knows what route to take in life is beyond me. I used to think that being alone was a curse and that being different was fates way of laughing at me. I know different now.

Through the years, I have met people that have become close to me as if they were of my own flesh and blood. Everyday I am thankful that I started my search for answers that would lay hidden in the mystical dragon balls. If I had not of started that journey, I would have never met Goku, which would have been a tragedy.

With his gentle and inquisitive nature, he helped me learn more about myself than I would have ever learned on my own. Along with finding out that I was not the only one that had a tail, I found that my parents are not my true parents as well. It explains so much, however, it leaves so many questions that I fear will not be answered. This makes me wonder why I was abandoned and why my adopted parents hid that important fact from me.

Perhaps they do not know, but I wish I knew. I find it extremely coincidental that Goku has the same heritage. His parents abandoned him as well, leaving him with his grandfather that passed away. Poor kid was alone when I ran into him and, to me at least, he wanted some companionship from someone. As time goes on our friendship grows to be inseparable. As long as we have that neither one of us will be alone.

During our journey together, we came across another female that had a tail. Chichi was her name if I recall correctly, and from what Goku told me, she knew she was adopted as well since her adopted father's wife passed away before she was born. Sadly, she cannot recall her parents either. You could almost say it is my mission now to find our birthright. I will find out our past and fight this memory lapse.

I wished that she had agreed to come with us on our journey, yet she requested to stay behind with her father. Loyalty perhaps? That is the only explanation that I can come up with now. When we left, I think Goku was a bit sad. It seemed as if he had found a kindred spirit with the bright-eyed little girl. Oh well, fate might bring them together again. Maybe by that time, I will have found the answers we so desperately seek.

I sit here and watch as Goku fights in the martial arts tournament. I am proud of him. Through all the training, sparring, and unwelcome advances of Master Roshi, it seems to have paid off for both of us. For that I am eternally grateful to the old pervert. It seems behind those sunglasses hides a man that is a true master of wisdom. Seeing through his façade of sexual innuendoes, he helped me understand more about my innate abilities. Albeit, he was a bit stunned at the fact that I was born with the ability of telekinesis and telepathy, yet he still pushed me to use them to my advantage rather than allowing it to hinder me.

As my hands rest on the katana he gave me, I smile. Even though I am weak in strength, I now feel confident in my mental prowess. The only thing I fear now is our transformations; so far, I have been lucky enough to stop Goku and myself from transforming into a sort of beast-like state but one day I might not be able to. I know the elixir that father created for me is only a temporary fix. I think that after I destroyed the house a couple of times, he quickly realized that something had to be done. So far, we have not become immune to the elixir that prevents it, which thankfully for this planet is a good thing. It's just another question added on top of the confusion that surrounds our past.

I sit here watching Goku, and cannot help but to be thankful where fate has led me.I have learned so much about myself within the past few years, but I know there is so much more to learn.
