Ch.8: Not Such A Bad Girl? Kari's New Home.
The ship set down gently in Capsule Corps.' back yard. They all exited the craft, then Bulma hit a button and it turned back into a small capsule that she pocketed. The Z-warriors all started off in their own directions, exhausted.
"Man, I can't decide if that night lasted forever or if it went by in a flash," Yamcha observed as he watched the sun rising. He stretched casually.
"Tell me about. I'll be glad to get home and see Marron. I hope _she_ had a restful night," Krillin answered, and 18 nodded ascent.
"Come on, we'll feed you guys breakfast, and then we can all get some rest. I think I'll use a sick day and just stay home today," Bulma yawned a bit as she extended the invitation.
"Hey, all right!" they all grinned at the promise of food. They were starving! They started to head in when a high, faint whine reached their ears like the sound of an approaching space craft. They all pivoted around in time to see a small escape pod hit the ground hard a few feet from where they had landed. The shock wave knocked them a little off balance, but they regained their footing quickly.
"No way! It can't be!" Tien snapped as the pod opened.
"I don't believe this!" Goku gritted his teeth and moved in front of Chi-chi. Vegeta got in front of Bulma and they waited. A woman stepped out of the pod, and for a moment they didn't recognize her. Her long, hip- length hair was midnight black, her clothes were tattered, and her eyes were a near-black dark green. It took a few seconds before they realized who they were looking at.
"Kari?!" they all cried, and she dropped her hands onto her hips.
"Of course! Why. . ." she started, and then noticed her hair. "Well, would you look at that? Going Super Saiyan must have burned the chemicals out of my hair. No wonder you didn't seem to know me." The Z- warriors all prepared for battle, raising their kis and dropping into combat stances. Kari looked at them for a moment, and then shook her head and held up her hands. "I'm not here to fight."
"No? Then what are you here for?" Vegeta demanded.
"You destroyed my stronghold and the only ship that could have served as a home for me. My people are scattering as I speak. I've got no where to go - so I decided I'm going to live here, near you guys!" Kari beamed happily. Several of them fell over in shock.
"You've got to be kidding!!" Krillin objected, his eyes wide.
"No, I'm not! Don't worry! I've finally gotten the idea that I can't force you to do what I want. But I still want to know about the Saiyans. Surely you won't object to answering some questions," Kari smiled at them in the most friendly way she could. "Really, I'm not such a bad girl once you get to know me! Trust me, soon, you'll come to love having me around!"
"No way!" Vegeta shook his head.
"I dunno. . .we forgave you for a lot worse, Vegeta. . .and can we really forbid her to live on Earth?" Goku felt a small sweat drop go down the back of his head.
"Yes, we can!" Vegeta snarled through gritted teeth. He didn't want Kari anywhere near him after what she'd put them through! So what if Kakarot was right in that they had forgiven him for doing worse to them?!
"Come on! Please? Pretty please?" Kari bat her eyes at him and swayed her tail in a kitten-like way. "I promise I won't threaten you or your wives anymore! I just want to be around Saiyans!" They all looked at each other uncertainly. Kari decided to take that as a yes. "What passes for currency around here, anyway? I'll need to buy a home."
"Um. . .zeni are our currency. . .I really don't know about this," Bulma said softly.
"Zeni, huh? Hmm, now, what kind of job can I get?" Kari looked at the tall buildings around her, her tail swishing around her. "I should probably keep my tail out of sight, huh?" she chirped, and they all stared at her tail. She was a Super Saiyan, and she had a tail. She could become a golden oozaru! Piccolo snapped forward and lopped her tail off in one quick move. "YOWCH! What the. . .?!" Kari turned and saw her tail lying on the grass. "MY TAIL!!! HOW DARE YOU! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" she shrieked at the Namek as she grabbed him around the throat and lifted him like Vegeta had her guard. Her balance was off by the loss of the body part, but she managed to hold Piccolo steadily.
"Saiyans turn into giant monster-apes under the light of a full moon if they have their tails! Since you can go Super Saiyan, that made you an even bigger risk!" Goku quickly explained. Kari still held Piccolo in a death grip.
"So my balance is shot to Hell because you're paranoid?!" she demanded of the Namek in her grip.
"Pretty much," Piccolo answered with what little air he was getting. She finally dropped him as his cheeks began to look blue. "Well, this is the beginning of a long and violent relationship," he observed as he rubbed his throat.
"Maybe not so long as violent!" Kari muttered angrily as she rubbed her backside. It still hurt. Goku sighed then and did the only thing he could think of.
"Welcome to Earth, Kari Furauu," he said.
The End (Credits roll over background pictures of Kari adjusting to life on Earth,
ending with a shot of her in the middle of the entire Z-gang.) **************************************************************************** ****
