Broken Pieces
Chapter One
A figure stood on the edge of a cliff alone, proud, and powerful. There wasn't another soul for miles. She preferred it that way.
Ava let her gaze look over her forest domain and smiled. She had found her place in this alien world, Vegeta could stick his metal territory where the sun didn't shine, and she would keep her untamed home, thank you very much.
Ava twisted her lips ruefully at her brother's antics. She had just returned from her annual visit. First he tricks me into breaking tradition now he tries to discretely get Bulma to try to either convince me to stay or find a suitable mate for me!
She removed a small keepsake from her boot and couldn't help the small smile as she ran her hand over it softly. The object was half in inch thick square that was no bigger then the palm of her hand. There was one button, when pushed it would activate the small screen, and show her a short home movie of her brother's family. It was a funny one, showing a disgruntled Vegeta being followed by her five-year-old nephew who was pestering him with questions with Bulma laughing in the background. In fact it was a perfectly delightful gift and she would have rather bit off her tongue than accept it. Trunks was the one that gave it to her prompted by one of his parents no doubt! Damn them...
Ava replaced the small device without activating it. I will find my own damn mate! Ava thought angrily as she started picking her way to a cave that she called home. I will get my own family without anyone's help!
Ava paused inside the entrance of the cave, her tail waving softly behind her, and sighed. She had searched the world for four years looking for a suitable mate and had come up with empty hands. The few males that were strong enough were weak in nature and the ones strong in nature were weak in body. Bulma had been a rare find indeed and to think that he had stumbled upon her by accident. Ava shook her head as she got settled down for the night getting comfortable on her pile of furs accumulated over the years. Oh well, I lived inside my head for twenty years without going insane. I can surely spend the rest of my life in solitude if I have to. She smiled sleepily. With occasional visits to my strong nephew to make sure that Bulma doesn't make him too weak.

Ava awoke with the sun as she did every morning. She stretched and yawned showing her slightly sharp teeth. She started her usual routine to keep herself in shape and toned. She made sure to be at least ten miles from her hideout when she started her ki exercises.
The first time she had moved out here she had started exercising above her cave and had almost been ambushed by the few powerful humans and a Namek, they had been unused to her ki signature. Luckily no one spotted her retreat but it had been a close thing. Ever since then they would stop by sometimes to 'visit'.
Ava frowned as she spotted the scarred male, again. He was a regular. She continued manipulating her ki balls and then let them crash into each other, effectively canceling each other out. Ava turned on her heel, crossed her arms, and glared at HIM.
"What do you want?" She nearly spit at him.
He smiled and took in her stance. "You really are a female Vegeta."
"Compliments will get you nowhere," she lifted a shoulder.
He laughed, "It wasn't meant to be, babe."
Ava looked at him quizzically. "I do not know what you hope to gain by calling me an infant."
"You know, Ava," Yamcha grinned as she tried to kill him with her eyes. "That's what I love about you, your innocent naiveté."
"This is what I hate about you, human," Ava threw out her chin, "Your disability to comprehend the words: Leave me alone."
"Come on, Ava," Yamcha pleaded, "No woman wants to be left alone."
Ava stuck her nose in the air and caught an interesting scent. She smiled and sauntered over to him making sure to swing her hips. She ignored his smile of triumph as she leaned into him to whisper in his ear.
"Maybe you should go back to the girl you just left that smells of flowers and hope," Ava punched him in his gut. "She is the one who craves your company not I."
Ava chopped him in the neck making sure not to kill him but hard enough to knock him unconscious. She sighed wearily as she picked up his lifeless form and flew him to the nearest city a couple hundred miles away. I really hopes he doesn't come next week. Ava thought as she dropped him without ceremony in the street. He had come every week without fail, and she was on her last nerve.
She shook off such thoughts as her stomach told her it was hungry. She lifted her nose to the air again and caught the scent of a deer. She smiled as she started to track the hapless animal that was going to become her meal for the day. Her instincts soared as the fire in her blood rose to the challenge. She would take this animal down without powers to make the fight all the more interesting.
There! Ava spotted the animal at the watering hole. She began to stalk it silently and was able to creep up behind it within touching distance.
BOOM!
Ava and the deer jumped as one but Ava was faster than the deer and jumped on it's head causing the animal to go head over hooves. She quickly snapped it's neck and turned to the stupid hunter that had ruined her hunt.
"So the wild woman of the wood, is real," the hunter mocked faint amusement tinting his voice as he put his gun back in his holster. "Though they never said she had a tail."
Ava studied the man who heard her rumors and wasn't afraid. The humans were ridiculously superstitious, a few brief glimpses, and a few small ki balls later made the humans think that the forest was haunted and stay away until now.
He wasn't tall but taller than her with smooth white skin, he had shiny black hair that hung around his face like a girl, the odd thing was his cold blue eyes. He had a long brown trench coat that hid most of his figure but gave the illusion of slimness and power.
"Most never live long enough to see it," Ava sneered at him and was put off when he laughed softly.
"So what are you going to do wild woman, kill me, sounds like fun," a small smile graced his features.
"Do you have a death wish?" Ava lifted a brow.
"Maybe, or maybe it's the fact that I don't think you could really beat me in a fight," he answered stoically.
Ava glared at him and smirked at his almost arrogant manner. "You want to fight then bring it on."
"Whoa," he took a step back and looked at her closely, "You look like someone I know or fought or something."
"I doubt it," Ava lifted her nose slightly, "I think you just realized who you're tangling with."
"Hmmm, who do you look like?" He tilted his head to the side slightly.
Ava growled irritably. "This is my forest and I expect you to leave it."
"It's on the tip of my tongue," He tilted his head to the other side.
Ava glared at him and picked up her kill making him raise an eyebrow at her strength. She shot a quick ki ball at his feet making him shield himself from the dirt. She shook off her feeling of apprehension as she took off with her kill, silently, she just didn't feel like killing anybody today that's all. She wasn't afraid of that hunter, no way. . . just unnerved.
The hunter looked up when the dirt cleared and saw that the wild woman had disappeared. Odd, she didn't make a sound. He smiled slightly as he briefly considered calling his female counterpart and then decided against it. It would be more fun if he found out for himself. The tail is a bit weird, though, probably has a interesting story behind it. The hunter smiled to himself, yes, this had been a interesting day.
