Sorry that it took me so long to post up this chapter, but my parents forced me to clean up my room and it was really in a mess. *g* I hope you forgive me!
And thank you for your reviews!

The last time in "The Lost Warrior":
"By the way… why did you bet with Yamcha?"
"Because I want to let him pay for his stubbornness. And what is better than letting him invite a couple of Saiyans to dinner."
"You're evil. That's what you are."
"I know," Jenny smirked, "but I think that at least Goku and Goten are happy about that."
"I'm sure they are… but let's now try to sleep. Goodnight honey."
"Goodnight my purple-haired Saiyan."
"Lavender!"
"Whatever… I love ya!"
"Love ya, too."

Chapter 22: "Tenkaichi Budokai: Day Four"
Trunks woke up by a harsh ringing sound. 'Damn alarm clock!' With his eyes still closed he reached over to the bedside table where the clock should be and managed to push some other things to the ground until he found the clock. Annoyed by the constant ringing he just smashed it with his hand. 'Shit!' Trunks thought as he opened his eyes and saw the mess he produced.
"What was that for noise?" Jenny, who had been woken up by Trunks searching for the clock, asked sleepily. That was as she looked at the floor and at the smashed alarm clock. "Trunks! What have you done?" she shouted.
"Uhm… I've stopped the ringing?"
"I see that! But how could you destroy my alarm clock? How can I now prevent myself from sleeping…" Trunks quickly leaned forward and tried to shut her up with a kiss, but Jenny stood up and let him fall on the bed. "…in?" she continued her question. Trunks went after her and pulled her back on the bed.
"I will," he whispered in her ear.
"Good. But you know that I'll make you pay for that some time." With that, Jenny got up again.
"Where are you going?"
"It's about time to get ready."
"Yeah, right…" he climbed out of the bed and put on his clothes.
"Will you have breakfast with us downstairs?" Jenny shook her head.
"Not today…" Trunks walked over to her and put his arms around her waist.
"And till when will you keep the secret?"
"That depends on if Yamcha finds out today who, or better, what I am. But I'm sure, when doesn't find out today, he will definitely tomorrow."
"Why are you so sure about it? What are you planning?"
"You'll see!" With that Jenny kissed him and walked to the bathroom. "See you there!" she waved him.
"See ya!"
Trunks managed to get back to his and Goten's room unnoticed and after he took a shower, he met the others downstairs in the restaurant. After Jenny had changed, she locked her room and left her key at the reception desk. This time the woman warned her, that there had been some reporters again, and that they were now waiting in front of the hotel for her. Jenny thanked her and walked to her "loophole", the hotel bathroom. From there she used the instantaneous movement to get to the place where the Budokai was being held. She bought something to eat and then walked over to the stadium. She was the first one there of the fighters and so she decided to use the time to relax until the others arrived.
Slowly the fighters arrived and about half an hour later it was the turn of Jenny's friends to appear. Yamcha saw her sitting alone in the corner and walked over to her. "Good morning!" he greeted Jenny.
"Morning. I hope you still do remember the bet we made yesterday."
"Sure do I. I just want to give you the last chance to cancel it or give up."
"Why do you want me to give up? You know exactly that your next opponent then could kill you with his little finger."
Yamcha was stunned. "How do you know that Vegeta could do that?" he asked.
Jenny just shrugged. "Call it womanly intuition. And I won't give up. Never."
"Okay, I just hope that you know what you're getting into." With that he left.
'Okay, now you've really pissed me off, you arrogant bastard. Be glad that things like senzu beans exist, otherwise you would spend several month in hospital. I hope you know when you have to give up, because I won't show any mercy.'
A few minutes later an elderly man told the two fighters to go to the ring, because their fight would start soon. They waited till the referee finished his greeting and called the two into the ring. Directly after the referee announced the start of the fight, Jenny disappeared. 'Shit, she's fast.' At this moment he felt a sharp pain in his back and stumbled forward. He tried to remain his composure, but as he managed to stand straight, Jenny hit him with her knee in the stomach. Yamcha gasped and fell on his knees.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! That is incredible… The Lost Warrior sent Yamcha with two hits on his knees!" the referee shouted.
"Wow, I did never believe that she's that fast and strong. Yamcha really has to be careful," Mutenroshi admitted.
"But her fight against Krillin was about equal, so how could she bring Yamcha on his knees that quickly? Is he that weak?" Puar asked.
"No, she just didn't go full out against Krillin, and I have this feeling that she's still holding back."
"That could be interesting," Goku said, "Wanna get nearer?" Vegeta nodded and they flew to the place from where they already had watched the first fight. Piccolo was already there and watched the fight.
As Yamcha got up again, Jenny was standing in front of him, waiting impatiently. "So, ready?" she asked.
"Yes, I am."
"Good." Jenny got in a defensive stance, waiting for Yamcha to attack. He didn't wait long and rushed towards her, but she blocked his attacks easily and punched him in his face, sending him backwards. "I knew it," she said coldly.
"Knew what?"
"You're afraid of hitting a girl. That means you are a coward!" Jenny knew that this would hurt his ego.
"I'm not a coward!" he shouted and attacked her.
'I knew he held back,' she thought as she blocked his attacks. This time it wasn't as easy as before, but she didn't break out in sweat. She let him hit on her for a while until she kicked him in his side and sent him to the ground again. "Was that all you can do?" Jenny asked, hovering now above him. Yamcha wiped the blood from his mouth.
"You haven't seen everything yet." He put his hands on one side of his body. "Ka Me Ha Me… HA!" He shot the blue blast direktly at Jenny, who blocked it with her arms. After the glaring light was gone, Jenny was flying about 20 feet above the ring, her clothes slightly torn.
"So, you want to play it this was. Then it's my turn now!" Jenny shouted. She did the same as Yamcha and put her hands at her side.
"I can't believe it. She prepares a Kamehameha," Muten Roshi said, staring at the girl.
At this moment Jenny began to shout. "Ka Me…" They saw a small sphere forming between her hands.
"Hey, I won't do that if I were you. This attack is dangerous," Yamcha told her. This made Jenny even angrier.
"Ha Me…" The sphere got bigger and bigger.
"She has to stop. When she shoots the blast now, the ring will be completely destroyed."
"What?!" the others shouted at Mutenroshi.
"Hey, come on! You aren't serious, are you?" Yamcha is slowly getting nervous.
"She can't stop it anymore. She already put to much energy in the attack," Goten said worried as he watched the scene.
"But our dads don't seem to be worried about it. Look at them," Trunks said.
Goku and Vegeta really were calm, just Piccolo was a bit worried. "She will definitely destroy the ring with that attack."
"Nah, don't worry about it Piccolo. I'm sure she has got a plan."
"How do you want to know Goku?"
"Just watch."
Everyone was staring at the scene in and above the ring. 'Ok, I hope this works and I won't kill him with it,' Jenny thought and suddenly vanished. The spectators were speechless, especially as she reappeared not even a second later right behind Yamcha. Yamcha blinked and the followed the gazes of the spectators and turn around, just to look Jenny directly in her eyes. "HA!" she shouted and sent the blue blast to Yamcha. In the last second before the blast hit him, he managed to throw his arms up and raised his ki as high as possible to avoid bad damage and blocked the attack.
After the dust cleared, Yamcha's clothes were torn apart and he had several injuries. 'What was that? How was she able to get down that fast?' He was breathing heavily and had a hard time to stand straight. His vision was blurry as he tried to focus on his opponent.
"Was that…? That was…."
"My dad's Instantaneous Movement," Goten continued Trunks' sentence.
"But when and how did she learn it?" Trunks asked disbelieving.
"So, you taught her Shunkan Idou," Piccolo stated. Goku and Vegeta nodded. "How long did she need to learn it?"
"Two hours," Goku said with pride in his voice.
"What? But it took you one year to learn it! How could she do it within two hours?"
"She's interested in it. I've noticed during our training that she's got a photographic memory for things she's interested in and that she learns them almost instantly," Vegeta explained.
'I can't believe it. A girl. A girl kicks my ass and I can't do anything to prevent it.' Yamcha fell on his knees and looked up, seeing his opponent standing right in front of him in a proud stance. Suddenly Yamcha began to laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Jenny asked him confused.
"It's just, that reminds me of a fight I had a long time ago. I've underestimated my opponent and acted like an arrogant ass, and so he kicked it, exactly like you did. I didn't want to see that he was stronger and better than me, because of his looks. And you just taught me the same lesson, he did."
"I hope so," Jenny said.
"Yeah, and there's just one more thing for me to say. I give up."
"What?" she asked stunned. She didn't await him to give up. She thought he would fight till she beat him unconscious.
"I give up, because I don't want to spend my time in a hospital. You're definitely stronger and better. Congratulations." He got up again and limped towards Jenny, holding his hand out.
"I know I've been an arrogant jerk and I hope you forgive me," Jenny nodded and took his hand.
"Yamcha gives up! The winner is The Lost Warrior!" the referee announced and the spectators cheered.
As they were about to leave the ring, Jenny noticed how badly she had hurt Yamcha. "I'm sorry I did this to you. Shall I help you?"
"Yeah, thank you, but don't worry, as soon as I get to the gym, I will be alright again," he answered and put his arms around her shoulder so that she could support him. "Okay, and when will I get to know your friends, who I shall invite for dinner?" he asked as they were walking to the gym.
"You will meet them tomorrow. And by the way, my boyfriend is under them," Jenny added.
"Really? Oh sorry… I didn't know."
"You don't need to be sorry, you couldn't know."
"I guess you still don't want to tell me your name, do you?"
"I will tell you tomorrow, after my fight with Vegeta."
"Do you think you'll win against him?"
Jenny shook her head. "I'm sure I'll lose. He's so much stronger and a better fighter than me."
"But now tell me one last thing. How did you manage to get so fast behind me during your last attack?"
"That's my secret."
"Wow, that was a great fight," Krillin greeted them as they got there.
"Yeah, I just hoped that it would have been great for me. Does anyone of you have got a senzu for me?"
"Sure." Goten reached into his pocket and gave him one.
"Thanx."
The next two fights were nothing special, because Vegeta and Goku beat their opponents totally effortless. Then the referee announced the last fight for the day. "Ladies and Gentlemen! In the last fight for this day, two friends will fight against each other. Trunks Briefs and Goten Son! The two already fought in the youth division 12 years ago. The last time Trunks won, but we will see who'll win this time! Now I ask the two to enter the ring!" Trunks and Goten nodded to each other and then walked to the middle of the ring.
"Hey Goku. Can you see well from the place from where you and Vegeta have watched the other fights?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah, sure. Why do you ask?"
"This fight promises to become very interesting and I want to see as much of it as possible."
"Good, follow me. Vegeta? Are you coming too?" The prince nodded and followed them.
"Where are they going?" Yamcha asked Krillin.
"They want to watch the fight from somewhere else, but I decided to stay watch it from here." Krillin wanted to let them alone so that they could talk freely and stayed because of Yamcha, so that he wouldn't be alone or come along.
Piccolo was still there from the last interesting fight. "Hey Piccolo!" Jenny greeted him. The Namek simply nodded and turned his gaze back to the fight, which was about to start.
"Are you ready Trunks?"
"As always!" With that the two boys rushed forwards to each other and exchanged a series of punches and kicks in a speed, so that normal humans could just see a blur, floating over the ring. After they broke apart, they smirked at each other. "So Goten, what do you think? Was that enough for a little warm up?"
"Yeah, that was enough. And now no holding back." With that both turned Super Saiyajin and attacked again. This time it was nearly impossible for the spectators to see anything.
'Wow, this is the first time I see Trunks as Super Saiyan. I must say, he's hot.' Jenny smiled as she watched the fight. 'I just wished that Shana could enjoy the looks of Goten, but they are moving too fast for her to see anything.'
'Jenny's lucky. She can watch the fight. And what do I see? Not even a blur. Why must they be so damn fast? But on the other hand, I don't think that Jenny ever saw Trunks as Super Saiyan before and I already had the pleasure of admiring Super Saiyan Goten.'
The fight between Trunks and Goten was about equal all the time. That was until Trunks could hit Goten on his back and send him to the ground. Trunks also took the chance to fly down and waited until his friend got up. Both of them had several bruises and they were breathing hard. "Are you okay, Goten?"
"Sure I am, and you?" Trunks nodded and then shot a ki-blast to his friend, who blocked it.
It was going on like this for some time. One sent another to the ground, they shot ki-blasts and exchanged kicks and punches. That was until both had big problems to stand straight.
"The last attack will decide who'll win," Jenny stated. The others agreed with her and they looked tensed down to the ring to see, what happened. 'Trunks, I hope you'll do the right thing.'
"It looks like both fighters are out of breath and I think that we will soon get to know who will be the winner of this incredible fight!"
Trunks and Goten stared at each other, each waiting for the other to do something. Trunks powered down from Super Saiyajin. This way he saved the strength he normally would need to remain Super Saiyajin for his last attack. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to concentrate his energy. "Hey Trunks, what's up? Do you give up?" Goten asked. As Trunks didn't answer the black haired boy ran towards Trunks and swung his fist back. At the exact moment as Goten tried to hit him, Trunks opened his eyes, dodged the fist, turned around and kicked Goten with the all of his strength left in his friends back, sending him out of the ring.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Goten is out of the ring! The 4th participant of the semifinal is Trunks! He will fight against Goten's father Goku!" The spectators cheered and applauded.
Trunks took a senzu bean out of his pocket and swallowed it. He then jumped out of the ring and walked over to Goten, who was lying on the ground, almost unconscious. The boy took another bean and put it in Goten's mouth. Goten quickly recovered and Trunks helped him up. "Hey buddy, you're alright again?"
"Yeah! That really was a good fight. But I guess this time I won't get three of your toys (See Manga Vol. 37, Ch. 3 or DBZ episode 212 I guess.)," Goten told his friend grinning.
"I don't think so," Trunks answered.
"So Kakarotto, it looks like you've got to fight my son in the semifinals."
"Yeah, and you my daughter." Piccolo noticed how Jenny glared at Goku as he said that.
'From what I've seen of her until now, I guess that she has accepted being a Saiyajin and Goten's sister, but it doesn't seem like she sees Goku as her father…'
"I think we should go back to the others," Goku interrupted Piccolo in his thoughts. They all agreed and flew down to the others, except of Piccolo, who left.
Trunks and Goten already arrived there and were congratulated and told them how great the fight was. They didn't notice that Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Jenny were there, until Vegeta tapped him on the shoulder. "You've done well son," he whispered, almost unnoticeable to the others, but Jenny, who stood directly behind Vegeta heard this and smiled. After it was Goku's turn, Jenny walked forwards and shook Trunks' hand.
"Congratulations! That was really a good fight," she complimented him. It was hard for her not to fling her arms around his neck, but as long as the others don't find out on their own who she is, she wouldn't do anything what could tell them until the fight against Vegeta.
"I think we should now go back to the hotel… What do you think?" Krillin asked the others and they agreed. He then turned to Jenny. "Wanna come with us?"
"No thanks, but there's still something I have to do."
"Okay, see ya tomorrow!"
"See ya!"
After they left, Jenny concentrated to find Piccolo's ki. As she found it, she put two fingers on her forehead and disappeared, just to reappear direct in front of the meditating Namek in a desert. "I knew you would come here before your fight with Vegeta."
Jenny nodded. "I wanted to ask you if we could spar tonight. I need a bit training before my big fight and I think that I can trust you and that you won't tell anyone about what I will show you."
"Okay, but don't you think that the others will notice your ki?"
"Don't worry about that." Jenny winked and threw a capsule to the ground and the gravity room appeared.
"What is that?"
"That's a gravity room Bulma invented. When you're in there, the outer world will just be able to sense your normal ki-seize. We could spar in there. Okay?" The Namek nodded and they went inside.
"Good, now show me your full power!" he commanded. Jenny obeyed and with a scream she turned Super Saiyajin. "I'm sure the others don't know that you can do that, right?"
The girl nodded. "Vegeta once told me that a true warrior never show his true power to his opponents until the right time comes."
"That's true… Are you ready to spar?" Jenny got in a fighting stance as did Piccolo and they attacked each other. They were sparring for about an hour until Jenny was just halfway conscious, but she stood up again. "Let's stop. You've proved to me that you are really strong, but I hope you know that Vegeta is still much stronger than you and that he won't let you win."
Jenny looked him directly in his eyes. "I know."
"And you will fight him, even though you know that?"
"Yes."
Piccolo nodded and tossed her an senzu. "You should go now." With that he left the room and Jenny followed him shortly after she ate the bean.
"Where is she? She should be here already…" Trunks walked nervously through his room.
"Hey, don't worry man. I'm sure she will be back in no time," Goten tried to calm him down. At this moment they both could feel her ki in her room. "Told ya she will be back," Goten said grinning. Trunks quickly looked out of their room and looked around, making sure that no one could see where he was going. Then he walked to her door and knocked.
"Come in! The door is open!" she shouted and Trunks entered. She had just finished changing into her pajamas and it seemed like she took a shower just a few minutes ago, because her hair was still wet.
"Hi!" He walked towards her and kissed her.
"Hi."
"Uhm… How long have you already been here…?"
"About half an hour. Sorry, but I knew you would come over immediately and I wanted to take a shower, that's why I hid my ki."
"Nah, it's okay. But where have you been?"
"Somewhere… I don't know… I needed some time to think." She kissed him. "And right now I don't want to do anything else than go to bed. Wanna join me?" Jenny asked grinning as she jumped into the bed.
"Sure." Trunks smiled and followed her and soon the two of them were fast asleep in the arms of each other.

And by the way, I would be glad if you tell me if you liked this chapter.
