**************************************************************************** ****** Chapter 2 Escape

Three weeks of this passed by and poor Damiana still couldn't fight Traega or Denim off, mostly because she couldn't train with them around. One day, Gohan, hidden by his usual 'Saiyaman' outfit, and Videl flew towards Gohan's place for dinner, which Gohan had asked Videl to come to. "Gohan, you don't have to wear all that anymore. Everyone figured out who you were at the Tenkaichi Budokai Tournament. You did, after all, go out to help...Hey! Why did you do that? You blew your cover to help..." Videl must have hit an idea of why Gohan had helped her because she got really quiet and blushed, but not as bad as Gohan was. Just then, a ki blast shot right between them. They both looked at each other then at where the blast had come from. It was an abandoned house..or a supposedly abandoned house. Videl looked back at Gohan, who nodded and headed downward to the house, followed closely by Videl.. They landed in front of the door and peered through the screen. Empty. Gohan opened the door and they walked in. From the back room, they heard an ear-piercing howl. The room it had come from was Damiana's,but of course they didn't know that. They quickly ran to where they had heard the scream. Traega heard them enter and jumped. He looked at them for a minute, pure shock in his eyes. "Uhhh...Denim..." "Bug off Traega..You'll have your turn...soon..." Denim groaned. "Let me go! Sto-- Ah!!!" Damiana's sobs continued even after Denim had gotten up. "Well, what do we have here?" Denim looked at Gohan, then at Videl, a grin rising to his lips. "Traega, we get rid of Mr. Saiyaman and you get your own gal." Traega smirked and started towards Videl. "Hell no, you creep!"With that,Videl punched Traega, sending him back into a box and he passed out. Gohan quickly covered Damiana in a sheet and asked her what she'd be needing. "That armor and b-bag..." She passed out, but Gohan had heard her and grabbed the bag and armor, then knocked Denim out with one hit. "Videl, take these. . I'll get her...We gotta get her outta here, she's really hurt." Gohan handed Videl the armor and bag then walked over and picked Damiana, carefully, off the bed. Then he noticed it. It curled around his around the arm that held her legs up. He froze. It was Damiana's tail. Gohan had nearly dropped her because of shock, but steading himself, hurried out the door and the house, before Denim or Traega woke up. He took off into the air after Videl. After several minutes, Traega woke up and groaned. "They took our girl!" Traega ran outside but, obviously, Gohan and Videl were gone already, with Damiana. **************************************************************************** ******

Damiana blinked a few times before opening her eyes completely. One eye was bruised badly, but the other was alright, except for her scar. She could feel pain all over her lower half. Then she realized someone was there in the room with her. "Gohan!!! She's awake!! She's woke up!!" shouted the small boy that obviously had been watching her. He turned to her. "Your pretty! My name's Goten! My brother saved you! But..." Goten stopped, looked around then finished, "..You can't date him, 'cause him and Videl may start dating!" "Goten! Shush, would you?!" Said the older demi-saiyan, standing in the doorway. "Hello, I'm Gohan. You've already met my knuckle-head brother." Gohan joked. "Hey!" Gohan chuckled softly. "Uh, are you hungry or anything?" Damiana shook her head, still not sure what to say, or even think of the two odd beings in front of her. "Goten, Why don't you go see if mom is back from shopping with Bulma?"

"But I--"

"Go..." Goten mumbled something that sounded like 'Brothers..' and walked out of the room to the kitchen to wait for their mom, just as Goku started down the hall to somewhere else. "Hi, Dad!" "Hey, Goten...umm..just a minute,ok?" Goten nodded as Goku continued down the hall. "Gomannasai, he is.." "It's okay, he reminds me of my little sister."Damiana let out a soft sigh and looked at her hands, which were folded now in her lap. "I um..don't mean to be rude or anything but...you have a..erm...tail, why is that?" Gohan stuttered, trying to be as polite as possible. He didn't want the girl to be angry with him, nor did he want to offend her. Demi just smiled, "It's alright. My tail is all I have to remind me of my heritage...where I came from." Gohan cocked an eyebrow, obviously interested by what she meant. "Your...heritage?.." Gohan thought for a moment. Goku, Vegeta, Goten, Trunks and he, himself had tails, at one time or another. Saiya-jins. But they were the only ones left...weren't they? Hadn't Freiza destroyed all of the saiya-jins? Gohan rubbed his forehead, thinking too much on one subject seemed to give him headaches anymore. "Uh-huh...My father and mother are ead now, however, my little sister i have no clue as to where she could be. Possibly on this planet, or at least, I'm hoping. Then the ship my sister and I lived on is either long gone from where I remember it or...destroyed...my race...practically extinct all because of one horrible tyrant." Damiana shook her head, her hair falling down around her face. It had almost given her a dark feature. Because her hair was so black and her eyes the same, she just looked evil, to a point. "No other..family..that you know of?" Gohan asked, wondering why she'd only be looking for one person, not two or more, unless she only had just her sister. "I don't know, my father, before he died 4 years ago, told me to also find my uncle..supposedly my grandfather sent him away. But I don't think he is even alive now. No one on this planet has a power of 100 or more, nor have i seen any tails. Unless of course they are hidden. Why am I telling you this. Your nothing but a pitiful creature called 'human'. I've seen how humans are. Evil and good." Demi sighed and shook her head. "I don't think your looking hard enough then."Gohan grinned, knowing exactly how high his power level was, way higher then 100. "Oh? Why's that? You don't have a tail! Nor did that brother of yours!" Demi growled softly, "Unless they are hidden or something! Tell me why you said what you did!" Damiana was angry, and getting more so by the second. 'How dare that foolish human think he is stronger then me, I am a Saiya-jin! he's nothing.' Damiana was now, not leaning back against the pillows, but fully sitting upright. "Well, maybe um...hm..Whats your name, by the way, you never said." "Damiana Jade, Second Class Warrior of the ship Vega." "Hm..ur race..Saiya-jin? nah...maybe a relation to that." At this Damiana jumped, not caring about, or noticing her new outfit. "How do you know?! What in blazes of Vegetasei!! This is madness.."Damiana sat back down on the edge of the bed, closed her eyes and thought for a moment. "Father gave me my uncles name..but I don't remember it. Father said I'd know him on sight even if i did forget his name." Just as damiana had gone through her little fit of excitement, Goku walked past the door, stopped a foot passed it, then back and into the room, "She's awake, I see.." Gohan turned and nodded, Damiana glanced for a second at Goku and then back at gohan, waiting to find out the strangers name. "Dad, this is Damiana..Damiana, thats my dad, his name is--" "Ka.." Damiana started. Goku blinked, "Goku. Only one other person calls me by the name you started, if it's the same name... But I doubt you've met him." Damiana did a double take of Goku and jumped up again, "Great gods! Oh, blazes of Vegetasei..." This had caused Goku to get a bit spooked, mostly because of Damiana's expression, but also because he recognized the name 'Vegetasei' but only because of Vegeta. "What?...did i say something..do something?!" Goku's eyes widened a bit, as he backstepped. "Father said I'd know and I did!!" Damiana fell back, sitting on the edge of the bed, laughing, then, as quickly as she had started laughing, she nearly went into tears. "Oh, poor Uncle..having to be stuck on this pitiful planet when he could have lived with us on the Vega..." Damiana muttered. Goku, now more cunfused then before, just took a chair next to Gohan and blinked. "You mean..Dad is your...Uncle..makes sense i suppose..but..then your dad would have had to have been...no way...but.." Gohan thought outloud then shook his head, clearing it a bit, "Who was your father?" "Radditz..Goku?..That doesn't seem right. Father mentioned K- something...Ka..er..oh, my memory is horrid." Goku's cunfusion disappeared at the name 'Radditz'. His eyes flashed with a bit of light. He blinked, as though trying to remember a very vague memory. "Radditz ...Son of ...Bardock? ...Brother to ...Me!?" He jumped, literally, out of his thoughts and looked at Damiana, eyes as wide as plates, not knowing how or where he had learned or heard that. "How the hell did he know that???" Gohan looked at his dad, then at Damiana. "Every saiya-jin can do that. Remember their heritage...they have to hear one name and they know the rest. A saiya-jin can be nearly killed--" "Or hit on the head--" Gohan added. "--Yeah, and still remember where they came from. I, myself can remember back to my 20th great grandfather. Most saiya-jins can remember further..but..I...wasn't..am not very good at remembering things.." Damiana looked at Goku, "even if they've never met any of their family..As in your case, I'm guessing, Uncle." Goku caught on to a bit of it, Demi figured out that he had so she then stayed quiet unless asked something, which, she was.

**************************************************************************** ******

"So then, he kept it all from me until four years ago, when he died, Ladditz'd be 27 now, or she is 27..either way..." She stopped, not really knowing how to finish. She then looked at her listeners. "So you just found out 4 years ago....hmm.....You mentioned, earlier, something else, also..something about..Dad's name? Ka-something..." Gohan turned to Goku, "Maybe it's what Vegeta calls you all the time.."(A/N: when reading this the ka starts like Kakarot, then something, LOL! ~_^ enjoy now.) Damiana's eyes widened, "Veg--No! It's impossible! There is no possible way!" Gohan thought for a moment, then face faultered (A/N: face faulter: when the character falls on their face, like in the anime ~_^ continuing..)

"I suppose you think Vegeta is dead, right?" Damiana nodded, frowning for a moment as though in mourning for the sayia-jin prince. (A/N: aie..mourning...Vegeta?!..bleh.. She thinks he's long dead so...oh well..aww-ish-ness there. Kawaii, ne? ^_^) "Prince Vegeta can't possibly have survived Freiza. Freiza kills any and all pris-- no! They aren't even there long enough to be considered prisoners. Freiza has no mercy! Unless The Great Prince convinced him to let him live...secretly planning to kill Frieza when the time was right..." "Frieza HAD no mercy..He's dead.Vegeta is alive, mostly likely different then what you'd remember but..maybe they aren't even the same person." "Your right.It..It may not be our..Prince..maybe.. The name Vegeta was popular on Vegetasei...but it was mostly in the royal family..so..it's either him or...a son?!..no..not possible..completely not possible." "Oh, Vegeta has a son..if he'd ever say that himself no one knows.." Gohan joked, but was for the most part, serious. "We could see...now actually..Chichi is back..Chichi!!" Goku darted out the door to greet his wife, and the only other person that could get close enough, bravely, to Vegeta, Bulma. **************************************************************************** ******

"What is it, Goku?.." "Did Bulma leave already?" Chichi just nodded, partially confused, "She left a while ago actually.." Goten, who had been jumping around Chichi saying 'Mommy's home!' repeatedly,stopped in front of her and she picked him up, shaking her head at the young boy. "Kuso! Oh well..I'll just call Capsule..." "Why? What's going on?" Chichi didn't know about Demi yet, and Goku was too busy digging for Capsule Corporation's phone number to answer her. Big mistake. "Goku! Tell me whats going on or--" "Just a minute...please... Chichi, i can explain in a minute" Goku stated, cutting her off, as he started dailing and waited for an answer. "Hey...Trunks?..Hi, can I talk to your dad a moment?..ok..yep..uh- huh, Thanks."

"What?" Goku covered the mouth peice and blinked, "Trunks answered, Bulma isn't back yet and Vegeta is traing..Trunks is going to get him. "Mommy! Can I go to Trunks' house!?" Goten chirped. Chichi nodded, and Goten went to grab his newest toy, a little racing car. "I wanna show this to Trunks..although he's got a lot of cooler toys but oh well..I wanna show him neways." With that, Goten ran out the door, Yelled out "NIMBUS!" and was off to Capsule Corp. Meanwhile, Goku had explained everything to Chichi. "I'll go check on Gohan, make sure he isn't mak-- er..I mean, Make sure that this Damiana girl isn't badly hurt or anything, and that she isn't giving Gohan any trouble." (A/N: WHY!??!...--; I dunno...ok, explina for somethin really quick, Chichi has the idea Gohan and Videl are going to 'in the future' sometime get married, and with the idea of a sayia-jin girl there...she's freaked about somethin, Goku didn't tell her that Damiana was his neice yet...Something wicked this way comes... ~_^ ) Chichi headed towards the room where her son and Demi were at, still talking of course. Suddenly, Vegeta's voice rang loudly into Goku's ear,"What do you want, Kakarot!?I'm busy!" "Hey Vegeta. Look, I need you to get over here...you'll be interested to say the least." "I told you, Kakarot!I am busy!..Get away, Brat! What are you rambling about? No, Go ask your mother! Damn brat..." "Please, Vegeta, You can train after you get back to capsule...Just come here and see what I want you to.." Vegeta growled, but consented finally, then both hung up. **************************************************************************** ****** Lyta's Ramblings (missed 'em, didn't ya?)
