The sun shone over the forest, lighting the clearing in a haze of gold. Tree tops shone gold and the forest sparkled as dew sparkled like diamonds on the grass, leaves and bark. In a house, in a clearing, the sun moved its beams to the house. A small ray shone through the slit in the curtain, and onto a small face with long, deep black hair. Her fringe stood up in spikes and two bangs curled together in the front. Curled up in her blankets, she slowly fluttered her eyes open. They were ink black, like her tousan's; a dark universe without stars. She lay for a few moments before a smile crept upon her face. She had had that dream again, the dream where she finally met her kaasan. She couldn't see his face, and because he was a male, he should've been her tousan. But even though this was bigger and more masculine than her feminine figured tousan, he was gentle just like a kaasan. He was he kaasan! Even though it didn't make much sense, she was just happy to dream of her perfect kaasan…even if it was male.
Then, her mind switched back to reality. Silently, she climbed out of her double four poster bed, pulled off her PJ's and put on her gi. It was a navy short sleeve spandex suit covered by an orange dress. She wore weighted armour, such as the chest armour and the heavy, gold tipped white boots. She also wore a navy wristband on left arm and a glove over her right hand. The wristband was part of a gi she had when she was just a baby, and she cherished it, even though she didn't know why.
Silently, she stole down the stairs, making sure to not wake her tousan. Peering first into the kitchen then the living room, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"*Phew*! Good thing tousan isn't around!" she tiptoed towards the front door. "Even though he'd know where I was going, he'd probably say something like…"
"Where do you think you're going, Gojita?" came a very familiar voice. She stopped dead in her tracks and whisked around.
"V-V-Vegeta!!" she yelped. Vegeta was looking down at the tiny saiyan sternly, brows furrowed together.
"You're not going out to the Gravity Room without me, are you?" he asked, eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"Umm…er…Hehehehe…" she gave a nervous laugh as she promptly turned red with guilt. "W-what gave you that idea, V-Vegeta?"
"Gohh-jeee-taahh…" he said low. She knew better than to press her luck. Sighing, she looked down at the floor.
"*Sigh*…hai." If it were his son, he might've started yelling at him. But he had learnt from experience that that didn't always work. His face softened as he bent down on one knee until he was eye level with Gojita.
"*Sigh*. Gojita. Why do you do things like this? Why?" he asked softly. He had read in a book that looking disappointedly at your children makes them feel more about what they've done.
"I'm sorry." She said, fiddling guiltily with her fingers. "I just wanted to do some training on my own…"
"You wanted to set the Gravity to my level, didn't you?"
"… … …Hai." He sighed again, then gave a little smile.
'Typical. She's so stubborn, she just doesn't listen when I tell her not to do something!' Picking her up, he walked outside to the Gravity Room. "Gojita, I have explained to you many times before that you aren't strong enough to handle what I can. Your body's too fragile."
"Iie chigiamasu!" she scowled up at him and crossed her arms. He gave a little chuckle at the kawaii chibi in his arms.
"Hai so desu." He said. "But you are most certainly stronger than any other chibi your age. I don't think any of them would survive in training under three times Earth's gravity." She nodded her head in agreement.
"Hai…but I'm still not fragile!" she pouted. "I'm not!!" He chuckled again as he put her down on the red tiled floor.
"I know, and you most definitely are stronger and ahead of any chibi I knew on Vegeta-sei. But you still have a long way to go before you complete your training." She was silent for a while.
"Tousan?"
"Hmm?"
"D-do you think that if I keep training like I am now…will I…will I be as strong as you soon?" He grinned. She was very persistent.
"I'm afraid not as soon as you'd like," he answered truthfully. "But by the time you hit your teens, you'll be as strong as I am now!"
"But tousan," she persisted. "I've hit Super Saiyan level one! Why must I still learn all these katas and moves?!" He grinned when he remembered the first time she turned Super Saiyan. He was very proud and impressed.
It was on her third birthday and he took her out to the mountains to show her the levels of Super Saiyan. She was fascinated and wanted to know if she could do so as well. He told her she could, and she tried, but failed miserably. Vegeta was going to show her when he saw a dragonball. Because Gojita was in low spirits, he thought giving her a dragonball might cheer her up [1]. But when he tried to retrieve the dragonball, a huge boulder came rolling down the side of the mountain. When he looked up, it seemed a little late to do anything! He couldn't charge up quick enough and he wouldn't be able to dodge out the way! Then, there was a blinding yellow light and the boulder split into thousands of tiny pieces. He looked up and saw Gojita hovering in front of him with gold hair and emerald green eyes. That was the first time she had gone Super Saiyan.
"A warrior is not only determined by their strength, but by their experience. If you know more attacks than your enemy, you will have the upperhand as you will have more than one chance of taking them down." He answered simply. It wasn't like she hadn't heard this all before, she often asked her dad why, and he always told her that. "And you know it also pushes up your other levels." She nodded as he tied up her hair with her dragonball bobbles. He had found four of them while they trained in different areas and glued them to sliver discs and laced elastic through. After he put up her hair into little balls and tied them [2], he went over to the gravity machine and put it up to ten times Earth's normal gravity.
"So, shall we begin?" he asked. She nodded and then a smirk, eerily like Vegeta's, rose on her lips.
"Okay…but this time, I'm takin' you out!!" she declared determinedly. Vegeta chuckled.
"We'll see about that, my little oujo."
~1 pm~
Piccolo flew over the forest, looking for a good spot to meditate. It had been quite a while since he had been in quiet meditation, as every time Gohan came by with Pan, he found her to be a tad noisy. He didn't mind her being boisterous, but it did get a bit much after a while.
As he flew over the forest, he saw a small house in a clearing.
"Hmph…some human wanting to get close to nature without losing the comfort of civilisation, I presume." He muttered to himself. "Too bad I've lost interest in terrorising humans, or I'd make a quick stop there." He grinned to himself as he flew across to the other end of the forest, where it was deeper and darker. "And where hopefully Gohan and Pan won't be able to find me!"
~The Ouji's Residence~
Gojita sat at the table, doodling away while Vegeta made her lunch. Vegeta glanced up at the chibi saiyan sitting at the table. He found she was a little smaller than the ordinary saiyan child. Saiyan chibi's were a little smaller than ningens, but she was eve smaller than that! Standing next to each him, she'd only reach up to his knee! But that just made her even more kawaii than she already was. Privately, he wondered where she got her cuteness from. At first, he thought it would be his mate's genes, but his mate was kakkoii…not kawaii!
'Hmm…he was always going on about how kawaii I look. Maybe that's where she got it from.' He thought. 'Looks like he was right…I am the dominant one, as she's got most of my features. A little of my attitude, my slim body and my cuteness…as he would say.' He cocked his head to one side as he watched her continue to draw. 'But if she's got most of my stuff…what's left from my mate?' he looked at her very carefully. 'Well…she's got his fringe, and his soft face.' Vegeta smiled when he remembered the soft and innocent look his mate always wore. But he shook it off as he remembered that his mate was no longer with him. Angrily, he turned back to the stove where he was cooking ramen noodles. But his anger faded as he thought about Gojita. If it wasn't for her…he may not have learnt how to look after himself or her. And if it wasn't for her…he may have thought he would never love again…
After he turned back to the stove, Gojita glanced up at her tousan. She admired him a lot! Sure, he was her tousan and therefore he was deserving of her respect, but she felt her respect and admiration reach far beyond that!
'Tousan is such a good cook! I bet that Jamie Oliver guy isn't nearly as good as my tousan [3]! And I bet he can't clean and do laundry and sew! And I bet he can't even fight like tousan!' she smiled as she looked back down at her book. 'Tousan does everything for me! He's the best tousan in the entire universe bet! I just wish tousan had a mate so he'd be happy and he wouldn't have to work so hard. Then I can spend more time with him and maybe his mate!' But she was just happy to be with her father. It was practically needless to say that he was her hero.
After lunch, she went straight to the gravity room. But Vegeta stopped her.
"Nani? What's wrong?" she asked as he picked her up.
"No training. Remember…you must let your food digest or else it's all going to come up!" he explained. Gojita made a face.
"Ugh! Gross!" he chuckled as he placed her on the couch.
"Hmm, and I need you to stay here."
"Nani? Where are you going? It's the weekend!"
"I know, but I want to get the computer my boss promised me." She looked at him, her eyes getting wider as she realised what it meant.
"D-does that mean…?"
"Hai. From Monday, I'll be working at home on the net." Gojita didn't pause for a second after the 'working at home' part as she leapt joyously at him. As small as she was, she still managed to bowl him over! 'How does she do it??!' he wondered as he lay on the floor with her tail wrapped around his waist.
"Yay!!! This means you get to be home with me and you'll be able to train me and teach me how to cook so I can make stuff for you and…"
"Slow down!" he yelped at this sudden flood. "I can't go and get the computer with you clasping to my middle!"
"Oops!" she got up and giggled as she blushed. "Tee hee hee…gomen nasai, tousan!" He stood up.
"Good. Well, I have to go now." He said as he went for the door. "Just remember…"
"Yeah, yeah, I know," she mumbled. "Don't go into the forest and don't go into the training room without you." He smirked at her.
"Heh…seems you disobey those rules so that you now know them off by heart!" she blushed. "But there's another little rule: don't touch or mess on the paper that's sitting on the coffee table. That contains the code for the satellite internet connection."
"Oh…okay! I'll make sure nothing happens to it!" she grinned at him as she saluted him. He grinned back.
"Ja mata ne, Gojita."
"Ja mata ne, Vegeta!"
Ten minutes after Vegeta left, Gojita was very bored. Most of the time, she would either write or draw, but she was too bored to even do that. She lay on the couch, staring at the piece of paper on the coffee table. Groaning, she rolled over on her back.
"Hnn! I don't like it when tousan goes out on the weekend! It's suppose to be the time where we train!" she trashed her arms, legs and tail around as she wailed to no one, "I WANNA TRAIN!!!!" After she finished thrashing, she noticed a bird batting itself against the window. She laughed hysterically as it did so, until it gave one last *thunk* and fell down. She stopped laughing and ran outside. The bird looked all beaten up. Gojita's heart softened as she took the invalid bird inside.
"Aww…the poor thing." She muttered as she looked over the still creature. She gave it a few prods before it gave a chirp. Relieved that the bird was alive, she began to play with her new friend. She watched as it flew around the house, and she ran after yet. "I wish I could fly like that! Hmm…I must remember to ask tousan to show me how to fly!" She called excitedly to her new friend. She was thoroughly enjoying herself, until…
"Hey! Put that down! That's tousan's satellite internet code!" she yelled. "If he loses that…he'll have to go back to work and I'll be alone at home again! I said…PUT THAT DOWN!!!" she screamed. But the bird just took the paper and flew out the open window. "COME BACK HERE!!!" she screamed, even louder than the first time. She opened the door and ran out after it, jumping up and trying to grab it from the bird. "Oooh! Why can't I fly! Fucking bird!!! Come back here with that fucking piece paper!!!" she cursed at the bird. She was in a rage as she stumbled through the grassy clearing, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the bird fly into the forest. She paused, wondering if she should go get the paper or not. "Oooh…tousan told me never to go into the forest! But if I don't get the paper back…everything will go back to as it was! I'll be all alone from nine 'till five everyday of the week! I won't be able to be with Vegeta as much as I'd like!" the second thought was stronger than the first, so she ran on through the forest after the bird.
~In the deepest depth of the Forest~
Piccolo hovered above a cliff, meditating. But he couldn't help but feel something strange was going to happen that day. He stood up and looked around. Growling at himself for acting like that, he turned to his lotus position, thoughts in turmoil. He knew he shouldn't have left his cave because of Gohan and Pan, but it just was that he couldn't stand to see his student all grown up with a child of his own. He wasn't jealous. He didn't feel the need for a family. But he did feel the need to regain what he and Gohan had…friendship. Sure, he'd be a bit bossy with the kid, but Gohan was pretty easy going.
"And here I am, running away from my friend." He said aloud. "Hmm. Well, I guess I should go back now. I doubt they'd still be there, but at least I got my quiet time." He lowered himself down as he prepared to leave, when he felt a ki. It was strong, nearly as strong as Trunks's! But it wasn't Trunks; he could feel it wasn't. Curious, he flew down to where the ki was. It seemed to be darted through the forest, like a bird flying in terror. What was it? He flew over the treetops, looking down to see if he could spot the creature. But this area was deep and dark, so he could barely see through the leaves! But he could hear a voice yelling. What he didn't know, as it was in a different language. Some words were in english, but those were mostly swearwords.
"Chi kafa mino fucking jee, tu gah shoo fuck you up!!!" it screamed one time. "Kisama!!! Bakayaro!!!! Wima vechu or bukkoroshite yaru zo!!!" He flew even lower. He heard a loud and painful *crack*, a groan, a savage growl and then an enrage scream. Then, from out of nowhere, a tiny girl burst from the treetops, clutching a bird in her petit hands.
Piccolo took a look at her and saw that she was really tiny! He reckoned she only came up to three-quarters of his lower leg. Her hair was black and was tied up into balls. She wore an orange dress over navy spandex short sleeve spandex suit with a wristband on her left arm and a glove on her right hand.
Gojita had been running after the bird through the forest, cursing it as it flew higher.
"If you don't give back that fucking piece of paper, I'm gonna so fuck you up!" she had screamed. She had been so busy in following the bird; she failed to notice a thick branch sticking out of a tree at her height. She ran right into it, snapping the branch with a sickening *crack* as she fell back. She lay on the ground and gave a groan. But as soon as she snapped her eyes open, she gave a low and savage growl. 'I…have…had…ENOUGH!!!' she screamed as she powered up and flew through the treetops, and grabbed the bird. She clutched the bird so tight, that after a few minutes, it died of asphyxiation. But she didn't watch where she was going, so she flew into a cliff.
Piccolo watched as the tiny figure kept on flying up and into the cliff. He watched and flinched when she hit the rocks with a sickening *crunch*. After the dust cleared, he saw a hole in the side of the cliff. It looked quite deep. He flew up and took a look inside. It wasn't big enough for him to see where she was, so he just stuck his arm in. After a few minutes of feeling, he found a soft, furry object.
'This must be her hair.' He thought. But when he pulled her out, he got a big surprise!
[1] How sweet! See…Vegeta is a nice guy!
[2] Think Tsukino Usagi style, just bigger balls and no long strands of hair.
[3] No offense to Jamie Oliver or anyone who likes him!
