Descendants, Earth's New Hope
Disclaimer:: I do not own any of the Dragonball/z/gt characters. . .Just so you know. Well actually I only put this here because I have to.
Kara sat up and opened her eyes. She looked around the dark environment and could tell that she was somewhere she had never been before. ~How the hell did I get here? Last thing I remember. . .Oh no. . .I lost~ She tossed aside the blanket that was covering her and she got up off the couch. Her eyes had adjusted enough so that she could make out shapes, so she started walking around with her hands out in front of her, looking for some sort of lamp or switch. She noticed a feint light from one direction so she followed it and found herself stepping onto a tile floor. She looked towards the light and saw a figure standing in front of it. She took another step forward and let out a small whimper when she stubbed her toe on something. The figure turned around, "Who's there?" The voice was familiar and belonged to a man.
Kara panicked and tried to get away but before she could do anything, the person had grabbed her and put his hand over her mouth. "Hey, hey calm down. You're going to wake everybody up."
She put the side her foot on the backside of his heels and pulled her leg towards herself, causing him to fall back. But as soon as he hit the floor he kicked her feet from under her and she fell over as well. He got to his knees, grabbed her, and pinned her to the floor, "Calm down. I don't want to hurt you."
"Bastard!!!" She struggled to break free from his grasp but stopped when the room suddenly got bright.
"Vegeta, man what the hell are you doing?" Goku rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked down at the two. "Or. . .Do I need to leave you two alone?"
Kara's eyes widened, "What?! No! Get the fuck off of me!!!"
Vegeta let go of her and stood up, "It's not what it seems, I was trying to keep her quiet." He shut the refrigerator door and sighed.
Goku gave him a weird look, "Keep her quiet?"
"Er, uh. . .That's not what I meant. I was trying to relax her. .er, calm her down." He looked at Goku who seemed to be trying to hide laughter, "Dammit Goku, get your mind out of the gutter!"
"Excuse me! Have you forgotten I'm here!?" Kara put her hands on her hips, "Will some one please tell me what the hell is going on!?"
"I will." Pan slowly walked into the kitchen, her cane tapping against the tile floor. "Understand dear, we were only trying to help. They clerk at the tournament, told me that you had come alone so we thought we should take you with us and wait until you regained consciousness."
Kara looked at the little old women then glanced at Vegeta, "Ok, so why the hell did he attack me?"
Vegeta looked away, for some reason he couldn't let himself look back at those piercing, ice blue eyes. "I didn't want you to wake everyone else up."
"Whatever, I'm outta here."
"Wait. Goku go get my bag." Goku nodded and walked out. "You came in second place, we got your money for you before we left. Your parents will be proud."
"Yeah. . .sure."
Goku walked back in with a bag and handed it to Kara. She opened it up and smiled. "Well it's been a blast but I'm afraid I must go."
Goku and Vegeta watched as she left. When they heard the door shut Pan looked up at the boys, "Get dressed then, it's cold outside."
Goku and Vegeta looked at each other and grinned then they quickly ran out of the room and went upstairs. Pan went into the living room and sat down on the couch. Only seconds later, the boys came running down the stairs pulling on their jackets.
"Bye Grandmother!"
"Be back soon!"
And with that they were gone.
"I don't see her anywhere."
"Maybe we didn't get out here fast enough." Goku crossed his arms and sighed. "Well, lets just keep looking."
"Wait, I saw something, come on."
Vegeta took off in a certain direction and Goku followed him.
"You're right, that's her. . .Why is she going that way? There's nothing there except a bunch of run down buildings."
"Maybe she's lost."
They crouched down behind some shrubbery and watched as she walked into one of the apartment buildings.
"She can't possibly live in this dump. . .Can she?"
"Let's go check it out."
They ran up to the building that she had gone in and looked in one of the windows.
"Hey, this one's unlocked." Vegeta pushed the window up.
"Are you crazy? We can't go in there." Goku hissed, trying to keep his voice down.
"Don't you want to know why she's here? Just be careful and don't let her see you." He crawled through the window, "Come on," he whispered.
Goku sighed and went in as well, "We're going to get in trouble."
"Just keep your mouth shut." They looked around at the dimly lit room. There were some blankets rolled out on the floor on one side and a small lamp on the other.
"There's no way she won't see us."
"Stop being such a baby. . .We can go hide in that closet."
"This is stupid Veg-"
Vegeta put his hand over Goku's mouth and pulled him into the closet, "Shhh." He let go of him and peered through the small openings of the closet door.
Kara walked into the room in nothing but her undergarments and an open robe draped over her. She sat down on the blankets and a small black kitten walked in from another room and rubbed up against her. She picked it up and started petting it, "Hey there. I'm sorry I didn't leave any food for you today."
The cat made a small mewing sound.
"Don't worry, tomorrow everything's going to change. I didn't get quite as much money as I had hoped, but it's enough to get out of here. I won't have to steal so we can eat."
"Did she just say steal?" Goku pushed Vegeta out of the way so he could see and his jaw dropped. "She's half naked."
"No shit, now shut up or she'll hear you." He pushed him aside and looked through the opening, "Where'd she go?"
Suddenly the door opened, "What the hell are you two doing here?!" Kara grabbed them and pulled them out.
"Dammit Vegeta, I told you she'd find us."
She let go of them and noticed Vegeta looking at her, "Perv." She closed her robe and held it there. "Now give me one good reason why I shouldn't beat the shit out of you!"
Goku rubbed the back of his neck, "There's no way to make this sound right. We followed you here, we wanted to see where you lived. When we saw you come here we were curious."
"What is your problem!? What do you people want from me!? I have nothing, I'm just a nobody so why do you insist on following me?!"
"Kara please understand, we were just hopping to get some answers. My grandmother seems to think that we should know more about you."
"That's it!" Kara looked like she would explode any second from rage. "You two wait here!" She walked into another room and slammed the door shut.
Goku crossed his arms and looked at Vegeta, "I told you we'd get caught."
"Yeah, yeah, shut up." Vegeta wasn't worried about getting in trouble at the moment he was distracted thinking about something else.
Moments later, Kara walked out of the room wearing a tank top and jeans. "Lets go." She pushed them towards the door.
"Go where?"
"We're going to go talk to that old lady so that maybe you guys will piss off and leave me alone." She opened the door and motioned for them to go out and once they did, she followed.
As they were walking Vegeta noticed that Kara was shivering. "It's cold out here. Maybe you should go back and get a jacket."
Kara crossed her arms, trying to stop herself from shivering. ~I left my only jacket back at the arena~ "No, I'm fine."
He took his jacket off and put it over her shoulders.
"I said I'm fine!"
"Just humor me."
She rolled her eyes and put her arms through the sleeves, "Fine."
The sun was coming up now, which made it easier for them to see where they were going. When they arrived at the house, Pan was sitting on the couch in the living room as if she was waiting for them to get back. Kara sat down on a chair that was beside the couch, looking extremely annoyed. Vegeta just stood against a wall with his arms crossed and Goku sat down next to Pan.
"Alright lady. What do I have to do to get you and these two bozos to leave me alone."
"I'm sorry if it seems like we're bothering you child, but I need to ask you some questions."
Kara sighed and leaned back in the chair, "Fine but you have to promise to leave me alone."
Pan nodded. "How old are you? And where are your parents?"
"Seventeen and my parents are dead. . .Can I go now?" She let her eyes wander so she wouldn't have to look at any of them.
"I know this is going to seem like an odd line of questioning, but they all have reason behind them. Do you remember the names of your grandparents."
"Well I met my father's parents when I was little, their names were Hiechi and Marron."
Pans eyes widened ~Marron. . .I guess those blue eyes do kind of give it away~
"I never saw my mother's parents but I think their names were. . .Pan and. . ." She looked as though she was trying very hard to remember.
Pan got to her feet, "Kouichi?"
Kara gave her a strange look. "Yeah that's it. . .How did you know?"
"Are you Liza's child?" Tears started to form in her eyes.
"Yes. . .Did you know her or something?"
"My Liza. . .Had a baby?"
Goku and Vegeta were just looking at them, too confused to say anything.
Pan grabbed Kara and hugged her tightly. Kara blinked a few times and gave Goku a confused look from over Pan's shoulder. "Uh. . .Did I miss something?"
Pan let go of her, "Liza is my daughter," there were tears rolling down her cheeks, "She left home when she was eighteen and I never heard from her again."
"That mean-"
"Yes." Pan put her hand over Kara's cheek, "I have a granddaughter." She looked over her shoulder at Goku, "And you have a cousin."
Goku jumped up, "What?!" ~Way to go idiot, you were having impure thoughts about your own cousin~
Vegeta just stood there looking at them, not sure what to think.
"Why did your mother keep this from me."
Kara sighed, "She died when I was born. . ."
Pan closed her eyes and sighed. "I see." She wiped away her tears, "What of your father?"
"He died when I was thirteen. I had to run away to avoid being put in an orphanage." Her voice was strained now, as if she was trying to keep herself from crying. "I didn't think I had any family left." She leaned forward in the chair and hugged Pan.
Pan reached behind her back and grabbed Goku and pulled him into the hug. Vegeta smiled ~Who would have thought~ He walked back up stairs to the guest room and went back to bed. He didn't really feel comfortable being around while they were having their tender, emotional moment.
