Oh, hey. I have so much to tell you guys, but I don't want to bore you to death. Now you know what my life is like. This story is going along great so far. I'd like to thank Hope and steph for updating. Now, here's the next chapter.

Discoveries

Karisu flipped out of the tree.

"I'm late! What am I gonna do?" She glanced over at Kanryou. She'd now been in school for two months, and Videl, and even Gohan, were on her back, everyday, wanting to know where she was going everyday during lunch. If only they knew, Karisu thought, about raising a son. She was still running around when Kanryou woke up.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. I'm just a little late."

"Oh. Here's a picture I drew for you!" Karisu stopped rushing around and picked up her young son. She looked at the picture he gripped in his small hand. It was their tree, and Kanryou was sitting in it, and Karisu was standing beneath.

"Thank you. I love it. I'll carry it around all day. You love it out here, huh? You're not sad about not living in a house?"

"Nuh-uh. It's so nice, and I'll survive!" He climbed back into the tree and drifted off, his tail waving back and forth unconsciously.

I know you will. Karisu put the picture into her backpack and headed off to Orange Star High.

She arrived just as the bell rang.

"How nice of you to grace us with your presence, Miss Chen. I'll advise you be on time next time."

"Hai." She ran up to her seat. The day passed uneventfully, until lunch came.

At 12:45, Karisu was pacing down the hall, desperate to get food to Kanryou. Then she stopped cold. Something didn't feel right. Just as she was turning around, a strong hand gripped her shoulder and threw her into the lockers, denting the metal. She glared at the man before her.

"What do you want?" Karisu spat.

"Where is he?" The man asked in a menacing tone.

"Who?"

"Don't play dumb with me!" At that moment, Gohan and Videl came running up.

"Hey! Let her go!" Gohan demanded. The man turned to Gohan, smirked, the directed his attention back on Karisu.

"New boyfriend? You were well known for them."

"No, he isn't. He's my boyfriend." Videl stepped up. He scoffed and gave Karisu a message.

"He says you have until midnight October 31st." And flew away from the school. Karisu pushed herself off the lockers, rubbing her shoulder. It was purple and swollen.

"Who was that?" Gohan asked.

"An old friend." Then it hit her. If he was here, he wasn't alone.

"I have to go. Excuse me." She pushed past Gohan and Videl and ran out of the building.

"Hey! Gohan, we need to follow her!" The pair ran out after Karisu. After running a few blocks, with Gohan and Videl in pursuit, Karisu took to the air.

" She knows how to fly!" Gohan yelled in shock then followed example after the younger girl. They landed in the 442 Mountain area a little bit later.

"Kanryou! Where are you?" No answer. "Oh please don't let him have taken him. "Kanryou, please answer!" She searched around as Videl and Gohan landed.

"Who's Kanryou? Karisu, we need answers!" Gohan demanded.

"I can't find him. Please, help." Karisu begged. Gohan and Videl were shocked. Was this the girl who cared less about anything? The emotionless void? A disheveled head poked out of the branches.

"Mommy? Why are you yelling? I'm right here." Karisu flew up and plucked him out of the tree.

"Oh, you're here. Thank Kami. Are you okay? Nobody was here, right?"

"No. I was sleepin'." Kanryou yawned.

"Wait a sec. You do have a son! Why did you lie?" Videl demanded, furious.

"I'm not going to answer that. There's no possible way you could understand." Karisu snapped. Videl looked taken aback.

" I'm 17, and have a son who's 1/4 saiyan. I have to feed him, protect him from crazed fathers, AND make sure I get to school. I didn't need the judgment. I've been down that road too many times as it is." She went on, cradling the toddler. She took a moment, then went on.

"I'm sorry. I'm just a little upset right now." Gohan and Videl just nodded. Then Gohan spoke first.

"Karisu, who was that, back at school?" Karisu sat Kanryou down, and he scampered back up the tree. He locked his gaze on the three teens.

"That guy was his uncle, my brother in law." Videl studied the young boy, really taking in the details. He was only two but was a genius. He had a mulatto skin tone, like his mother, and shocking green eyes.

" His father was a stranger at the time. We met when I had a near fatal bout with starvation. I thought he was a decent guy, until I found out I was pregnant. He kept talking about taking our child and corrupting him. I said no, and fought with everything I had. I ran, and spent the next few months trying to find a home, but no one would take me in when I had a tail."

"Wait, you have a tail!?" Gohan asked in awe.

"Had. Lost it a couple months ago." Then Videl noticed her arm.

"Karisu, you arm. It's dislocated." Karisu looked at her swollen shoulder.

"It's okay. What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger." Gohan scoffed.

"Vegeta always says that."

"Vegeta? Who's that?" Karisu wondered.

"Wow. A saiyan who doesn't know Vegeta."

"Okay. We know you're a saiyan, but what are you exactly?" Videl asked.

"What?"

"Are you half, full, what?"

"I'm half saiyan, half demon."

"Oh. Well, you can always stay at Capsule Corp." Gohan offered.

"No thanks. We're happy here." Karisu replied, and fetched Kanryou from the tree.

"Where do you want to eat tonight?" She asked the toddler.

"Can you cook tonight?" Kanryou asked with big bright eyes. The teen sighed.

"Sure. Anything you want."

"Yay! Okay, I want rice, wontons, wonton soup, pot stickers, rice balls..." He went on. Karisu turned to Gohan and Videl.

"You want to stay?" Gohan was drooling, listening to the boy's requests, so Videl just said yes for the both of them.

"Okay, I'll be back soon! Be good Kanryou."

"I'll help. Gohan, watch him, okay?" Videl said.

"Sure." The teen and the toddler started a game of tag. Videl caught up with Kanryou a moment later.

"Where are we going?"

"A little store in West City. I know somewhere there who knows how much we eat." After flying for about half an hour, they landed outside a little store/cottage titled "Out of this World Eats." Videl cocked an eyebrow, but Karisu just laughed.

"I know. Corny name, but oh well." They stepped inside.

That took, entirely too long to type. Oh well, I did it for you guys. Please review, anything at all, even flames. See ya.

P.S.- Oh yeah. A tip, if you want to download manga, make sure you have TONS of time to do it. I've been on since yesterday, and still have a long way to go.
