"Softer side" Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball z . I do own Sapphire.

AN: HI everyone. Here is my 5th chapter. Enjoy Blaze

"Leave me alone..Kakarrott." Vegeta says as he gazes up at the stars.

" Vegeta, I just wanted to say..I'm sorry."

" Sorry for what?"

" For what happened to Sapphire.A look of pain comes over your face when you talk about her or see her. It must be hard for you, so I just came to apologize. I will leave you alone now." Goku starts to turn around to go back inside.

" You came for answers.Didn't you Kakarrott." Vegeta says softly

Goku stops at the doorway and turns back towards Vegeta. " Yes, I did, but after I saw what happened tonight, I figured you had enough people to answer too."There was silence between them, Goku turns to the doorway, but is hesitent to go back inside. He is hoping that Vegeta will change his mind on answering the questions about his sister.

" Sapphire was an excellent fighter." Vegeta starts to say, knowing Goku is still there. Goku smiles with excitement knowing he has broken through to Vegeta's soft side. Goku quickly goes over to a table by Vegeta and sits down. " Thanks Vegeta" Goku says still smiling. " Don't get all soft on me Kakarrott." Vegeta says with an attitude, as he chose to remain standing. He is never one for looking someone in the eye when he is speaking to them.Unless he is arguing.

" She never let anyone get in her way. That got her in a lot of trouble with Frieza. Frieza actually got so pissed one time, he had her tail permanitly removed. Which put her at risk in battle when we went to other planets. As far as her fighting status, she was one of the strongest female fighters on the planet. That is why Frieza decided to keep her along with the rest of us." Vegeta is soon interuppted by Goku.

" Uh , Vegeta I hate to be a pain, this is all interesting, but I thought I was going to get to asks the questions." Goku says as he scratchs the back of his head.

"* Hmph* You are such a pain Kakarrott." Fine, but this is the last thing you can ask for. Got it!"Vegeta shoots an evil glare at Goku.

" Sure.. of course Vegeta." Goku says with a smile. Vegeta just crosses his arms and tries to ignore his goofy smile.

" How did Sapphire and Raditz get along?"

Vegeta sighs before the start of his sentence. He has a feeling this is going to be a long and drawn out process, and he still has Bulma to answer to. " They got along a little when they were younger. But as they got older they drifted apart. Raditz was never easy to get along with. We all had problems with him. He was a middle class fighter with the attitude of a first class sayian. You were a subject that they argued about a lot." Goku looks extremely confused. " Sapphire was very close to your father. She was excited the day you were born. Raditz didn't have much too say on the matter. He knew not to get to close to you, so if you got sent away, it wouldn't matter. Sapphire felt differently about the situation. She knew there was a good chance that it would happen, but she ignored that and started to grow close to you. A few months after your birth , you were sent to Earth. But, she still felt close to you. Raditz did nothing but tell her I told you so, after you were dimissed. That is when the tension started."

" So how did she feel when Raditz came here to find me?"

" She faught him all the way. She always knew you were still alive. Raditz didn't know or care if you were. He said if you were a true sayian, you would have come back.The only reason why he went to Earth was to get you to fight with us against Frieza. By then raditz was to far gone into himself to listen to reason. He left knowing Sapphire was against it. She was angry at him, but soon felt the trip was worth it when she heard your voice for the first time. Her eyes lit up with excitement. Especially when she heard Gohan. But her excitement soon turned to anger and dispair when she heard you didn't remember anything and you both started to fight. When the fight finally ended, she began to cry. I was away on a planet listening to the fight at the time. I was about to return back to base when I heard the Namek talk about the Dragonballs. That is when I came here." Vegeta stops and looks at the ground. It is quiet for few seconds.

" Vegeta" Goku says. Vegeta turns to Goku noticing that his goofy smile has turned to a very serious and stern look. " If you knew Sapphire was against Raditz coming here, and that she cared about me so much. Then why did you come here and attack me?"
