Okay as I'm going to be away from a computer until Monday lynx will be posting this chapter

And to reward him I'm letting him do the disclaimer so if it's unusual blame him also I've told him to make nice comments to whoever reviewed so he'd better and the other reason I'm not posting this is that ff.net was closed as a memorial for 9/11 which makes life interesting for us poor aussie's as we have to remember it twice once on our 9/11 and once on yours

Disclaimer: Heh heh, I was thinking of leaving all this blank and posting as was with all of Jay's 'lead-ins' in place, but I wouldn't be that cruel.

Nightwing: Wanna bet? What you've got planned in 'The Journeyman Trilogy' sure ain't no cakewalk.

Lynx: Quiet you, what have I said about giving out spoilers?

Nightwing: Slag.

Anyway, despite everything, Jay still doesn't own DBZ, but since I'm making him so nervous by grinning knowingly, then I'm not gonna let on if I do or not. (Monday I think I'll start chanting "I know something you don't know")

Oh yeah, Jay wanted me to give thanks to everyone who's reviewed the other chapters, I haven't been checking the reviews of late so I'm just gonna acknowledge all of you. I'll try and see if I can convince the management to stop calling Veggy 'uncle' all the time (perhaps 'unca' or 'unkie-poo??' would be more to your liking)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, here it is.

Repentance Chapter 8 : It's all kakarrot's fault

Videl was starting to worry about her new uncle. Vegeta had been stangely pensive after agreeing to teach her about the customs of saiyan-jins and their royalty. After he'd managed to smuggle her into capsule corp without anyone knowing and then into the ante -room bulma had added onto his GR, so he could relax after a hard day of training, he had just stared at the far side of the room for the past 30 minutes. It was almost like he was glaring at it, daring it to make a mistake.

"Umm vegeta"

"That's it IT'S ALL KAKKAROT'S FAULT"

Well that wasn't the response she was quite expecting

"Umm what's kakkarot's fault"

"EVERYTHING"

"Why what's he done this time"

"It's not what he's done this time it what he's did"

"What he's did"

"Yes the bugger's passed his curse on to me, damn him DIE YOU HEAR ME KAKKAROT DIE"

"His curse"

"Yes the curse of the kakkarot, it is a terrible thing"

"Oookay so what is this curse of the kakkarot"

"The ability of one's previously unknown kin to suddenly appear and make demands on one to totally change one's position in life"

"Riight i'm following you so far, so when did this happen to kakkarot"

"When his older brother radditz first appeared"

"What did radditz want"

"He wanted kakkarot to become a saiyan-jin, to live up to his heritage and purge everything in sight, kakkarot naturally disagreed they fought and evantually radditz and kakkarot were killed"

"So what happened then"

"Well a few years after that his cousin (a\n it is his cousin right?) Turles turned up and wanted a similar thing except he had of a different way of persuasion he planted this bloody tree that sucked all the life out of earth or at least it would have but bloody kakkarot stopped him again so another relative dead"

"So why do you think that this curse has been passed on to you then no one is trying to make you kill anyone"

"You still don't get it girl do you I was a blood thirsty warrior I killed for pleasure unlike kakkarot who probably has nightmares over killing an ant, fighting was what I was trained for

And that bastard frieza removed any trace of mercy that I once had and now I find that my younger sister is probably still alive somewhere and that her daughter is going out with kakkarot's eldest brat and that everyone expects me to become so sort of nice guy all af a sudden and unlike that lucky bastard kakkarot there is not going to be a good fight at the end where I can happily blast some poor bastard to a million pieces it's not fair I tell you it's not fair"

"There there vegeta at least your not related to kakkarot that would really be a kick below the tail by the universe"

"Oh they'll get me there yet don't you realize that when you and gohan finally mate i'll then be his uncle in-law and that kakkarot will be your father in-law mind you that's not the worst thing it's that you'll be related to that fry pan wielding devil woman otherwise known as kakkarot's harpy"

"Oh yeh sorry about that"

"Don't apologise about it girl it's not your fault your bonding with gohan or that his family's so wierd"

"Weird and yours isn't"

"Good come back but my mate doesn't try to kill every passing moving object with a cast iron frying pan"

"Hmm yeh good point

"So uncle that thing in the next room's called a gravity chamber isn't it why don't you teach me a bit about our heritage while I train in it for a bit that way we kill two birds with one stone"

"Great idea videl your becoming more saiyan-jin than you realise"

"Thanks uncle"

Yes I know I said i'd write a long one but writer's block has set in and the weekend is going to be needed for thinking about the next chapter it WILL be a long one even if I personally have to stay up all Monday night typing it anyway until then r&r

And now the last word from lynx.

Heh heh, writers block. Now if you'd only let me write something.

Banshee: you idiot. You've just edited this whole fic and it didn't cross your mind to add anything?

Lynx: oh yeah. Well I can't be bothered modifying it now. And less of the 'idiot' from you or I'll feed you to Unicron.

Banshee: gulp.

PLZ R&R if you get the chance. Jay said that I could put in a note asking people to review my stuff if I wanted. So if you want to check my stuff out (anyone?? Please??) my author ID number thingy is 196039.
