This is chapter 2. Enjoy! And please review!

Disclaimer: I used the song "open your eyes" by Staind. I based this chapter around it. Although I did not get permission, and I am asking that no one sue. It just suited the story. I also do not own any of the DBZ characters. ^ _ ^ enjoy!

Origin was the title of the first chapter, not the name of the entire story itself.





Title: Open your eyes Chapter 2: Welcome home



Vegeta walks through the dark alley ways of the road, thinking over his position with the woman that he lives with, not that he has any other option. He then notices the hidden things of human lives.the darker side to what most people avoid and do not know, a voice talks in his mind.

As I walk along these streets

I see a man that walks alone

Distant echo of peoples feet

He has no place to call his own

A shot rings out from a roof over head

A crack head asks for change nearby

An old man lies in an alleyway dead

A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you

Would you take everything for granted like you do?

He scowled to himself, this was not a way to live. Not for anyone, no matter who they were. He walked over to the little girl, his eyes, the usual cold black eyes turned soft as he went to offer her open arms, somewhere that she could feel that she belonged, even if for a short while. She cried, but she no longer cried of grief, not now.

"Who are you?" Young curious eyes studied his and looked to see the response that she was wanting to hear.

"A friend. That is all I am." He stood and went to walk away, he had someplace that he needed to go to.

"Please wait.sir? Please, take me with you. I will not be a problem, I promise you.please."

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale

Swallows his pride for another hit

Overpopulation there's no room in jail

But most of you don't give a shit

That your daughters are porno stars

and Your sons sell death to kids

You're so lost in your little worlds

Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do, if it was you

Would you take everything for granted like you do?

You turn away

As I walk along the streets

Soaking up the cold rain

Underneath the taxi cabs

I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you

Would you take everything for granted like you do?

The little girl followed him to the large building that read Capsule Corp. The dome like building seemed warm and welcoming, especially to a young girl who had never known the word "home," she had never had anything to call that. She wondered what it would be like to have a family and someone that she could call a mother or a father.

"Vegeta? Is that you?" A young woman walked out from the kitchen and threw her arms around his neck. "I had thought that you were never going to come back!" She started sobbing, then she noticed the young girl hiding behind his leg. "Who's this?"

"A young girl that I had seen while walking through the city. I brought her back with me."

"What's her name?"

"I never thought to ask her."

"My name is Amethyst." She bowed her head as she tried to hide her tears. She was afraid that this woman was not going to like her or accept her. She was going to have to go back.

Bulma kneeled down to eye level and opened her arms to offer a hug. "Welcome to my home, Amethyst, you are more then welcome here." The young girl ran into her arms, hugging as tightly as she could. "Come on, you must be hungry." Bulma smiled, and it lit up her face, Vegeta smiled with her.

After eating Bulma showed her the bathroom where Amethyst bathed and then went to her room, where she fell asleep.

"Vegeta? Why did you decide to bring her here?"

"You don't like her?"

"I didn't say that."

"Because.there was something about her.and I thought that she would enjoy it here, and I knew that you would let her stay. Besides, she's special, we'll see soon enough.
