A/N – Well once again I'm tired and boredish but I'm here to write another chappie *swoons over the last chappie* This chappie is made from frustration and my constant homicidal thoughts for authors who claim Shasta is a plagiariser .

A Deadly Silence

Written By: KrayZM & Shasta : Weirdos With No Purpose In Life

Chapter Three : Becoming Oneself

"Okay , this is a good start " Bulma said to herself as she watched the girl scribble menacingly on the pad of paper :

Where am I and who are you ?

Vegeta , in a very impatient mood snapped something at her in saiyan which caused her to look sharply in his direction . Kayla wrinkled her brow in an unreadable expression and threw him a nasty look . She began scribbling again on the notepad .

" Vegeta , what did you ask her ? " Bulma questioned her husband in confusion .

" She was wearing saiyan armour when she arrived , I asked her if she was on a mission to attack earth "

The notepad then read :

If I were here to attack earth , why the hell would have arrived half dead ??

" She has a good point , when I found her in the capsule she looked like she'd been out for awhile , I doubt she'd have lasted this long without attention from Bulma " Goten perked up as he eyed the young girl who nodded in appreciation . Vegeta growled but stayed otherwise silent .

" Why have you come to earth then ? " Bulma insisted . Kayla froze for a moment , as if unsure of whether or not to answer . She took a deep breath and once again the pen came to paper :

I was being chased She paused , her hand shaking as she took a deep breath and wrote :

Hunted to be more accurate

Thoughts , memories , emotions cut through Kayla's mind as she remembered her home planet Gaia .

Shastania … where are you ?? .. she questioned her mind but she received no answers .

" Hunted by what ? " Came Vegeta's words which sliced through her thoughts like a hot knife through butter . Clearing her mind , she faced the saiyan prince . She shuddered as she wrote the following lines ….

I come from a world that was corrupted by fear , us saiyans who had escaped frieza's initial rule lived on our own land and own terms , though we had no protection from the constant armies aiming their attacks children such as myself were raised from birth to be warriors . Not to long ago , my home planet Gaia was attacked by a demon of incredible power and strength . He was named Kazimo Tair . Once he landed on Gaia , he stole the voices of all its inhabitants , making it futile to know his happenings and within a few days had hunted down and killed almost all of our population . As far as I know , only myself and my sister managed to escape Gaia alive .

The paused for another moment before scrawling :

Have you found my sister ?

Bulma , Vegeta , Goten and Trunks all peered at the tale she had foretold so simply .

" I didn't see any other capsules near her's , I don't think her sister has landed " Goten muttered . Kayla's face fell slightly but she kept her composure .

My dear sister … please kami …. Be ok … her thoughts screamed .

" So what do we do now ? " Trunks asked , after being silent this whole time listening intently and summing up the situation .

" Well its not like we can exactly take her back to the forest , well let her stay here " Bulma exclaimed . Kayla raised an eyebrow , stood up and headed towards the door . She wobbled slightly out of balance and leaned against Bulma's desk for support .

" I don't think you should be standing up right now , you're still very weak " Goten said as he hurried over and picked her up .

" Bulma , which room ? " he asked . Bulma instructed him to a room on the third floor and he took off still holding her softly . As he started to mount the stairs , Kayla squirmed in his arms and tried to free herself .

" I'm not letting go of you , you need more rest " he simply instructed . She pursed her lips and frowned but stopped her squirming . It was true , she did need rest . Her body still hadn't finished rejuvenating but she didn't like the fact that this saiyan was overpowering her . She hated to admit it but at this very moment … she felt weak and vulnerable . She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply .

Shastania , please just give me a sign … a sign that you're ok .….. that you're alive even

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep in the depths of space , drifting through a course of darkness the young red headed saiyan groaned inwardly . Her destination was clear, now she just had to get there .

I'm coming my sister , just hold on She told herself , hoping her sister could still hear her hopes, her prayers , her cries … and her anguish . Shastania would not abandon her sister . She was coming …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back on earth , Goten laid the motionless body of Kayla onto the bed and pulled the covers over her . He stood there watching her for a moment . He could actually see her face now . All the blood and scratches had disapparated in the healing tank . Her cream skin rested in a soothed like manor as the sleeping warrioress stretched in her sleep . He pulled the covers up over her and headed for the door , all the while pondering on the new facts the day had brung . The saiyan closed the door behind him and headed back to the infirmary .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later That Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vegeta stood alone on his room balcony deeply emersed in thought . So there were other saiyans out there ? His emphasis on were . What if Kayla and her sister were the last ones ? He sighed and stared up at the stars . Those same stars he used to stare at as a child . Though as a child it was not for a purpose of relaxation of reprimand from life . As a child stars were his chart , his list , his planner for the future . His father and tutors would point out the name of the star and explain 'Its will be your duty to once own that star , to rid life of it and to use it for your own means and qualms ' . His memories of childhood reflected his current self and for some reason he was disgusted by it . He had been raised to destroy , to kill . He was a warrior .

WARRIOR !?! nani !

Kayla was a warrior too . She had been raised to kill … so why was she different ?

'Because she was raised to defend her people , not enslave them' his mind screamed at him and he knew it was true .

" She was raised to defend " he told himself as he stepped inside his bedroom and closed the balcony doors behind him …
