Kaoru…the Saiyan??

Chapter 2: WHAT THE…?!

Everyone had seated themselves inside the training hall, since it was the only place big enough to accommodate everybody. The blue haired woman knelt next to Kaoru who had been carried inside by Goku. She felt her forehead and drew her hand back sharply.

"She's burning up! Chi-chi, do you still have the capsule for the regeneration tank?"

A woman with her hair pulled back into a bun and wearing Chinese clothing looked inside her bag. "It's right here. Everyone stand back!" She took out a small tube, tapped the top of it and tossed it into a corner of the room. There was a flash of smoke and then in the corner was a strange clear box with wires inside and a control panel.

"Goku, I need you to put Kaoru inside."

"Understood, Bulma."

Kenshin watched the scene with violet eyes that were tinged with amber. So far he knew that the one who saved Kaoru and knocked her out was named Goku. The blue-headed woman was Bulma and the woman with the Chinese style clothing was Chi-chi. He started to protest when they put Kaoru into the box.

"What the hell are you doing with her?!" Battousai was back in full force. The entire Kenshin-gumi looked at Kenshin in amazement. The low, soft voice and amber eyes still caused them to cringe, even though they knew he wouldn't harm them.

Goku walked over to Kenshin. "Look, she's very sick right now. In our world, this is top notch medical treatment. It should only take 20 minutes for her to be all right. Let us get her well and then all will be explained."

Kenshin didn't look too convinced, but he let them continue with Kaoru. A mask was placed over Kaoru's mouth and nose and then the box filled with liquid. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath for the unbelievably long 20 minutes. Bubbles began to rise from the mask and Bulma jumped up and turned it off. The liquid drained from the tube and Goku lifted Kaoru out. "Are you all right, Kaoru?"

Kaoru stared up at him in confusion. "I feel fine, but last thing I remember is having an awful headache and then passing out. I shouldn't feel fine after something like that."

Goku gave her a reassuring smile. "It's okay. We'll explain everything. But, I need to warn you. This will be hard for you to hear, Kaoru. After today, your life will never be the same. I didn't want to get you involved, but Nakago gave me no choice. You may not believe me, but everything I tell you, will be the truth. Do you want me to continue?"

Kaoru nodded her head slowly. What could he possibly say to me that will be hard to hear? My parents are gone; they have no connection to Kenshin or any of my friends. I can't imagine what it is they plan on saying. But, I feel I can trust them. "Sir, I don't know who you are, but something in me is telling me to trust all of you."

Goku smiled again. "Good. Everyone get comfortable. This will take a while."

Kaoru started to walk to Kenshin, but stopped. "Um, I seem to be drenched. Let me change first."

Kenshin turned back into the rurouni since Kaoru was unharmed and blushed. "Kaoru-dono?"

"Yes, Kenshin?"

"I was washing all of your kimonos today except for the one you are wearing. And you can't put on your training clothes because I was washing them as well."

Kaoru sighed. "Well, I can't walk around in wet clothes."

Bulma smiled widely at Kaoru. "Come on! I have plenty of clothes with me. You can wear one of my outfits!"

Kaoru smiled at her. "Thank you so much!" She led Bulma into her room and everyone sat quietly for a few minutes.

"WHAT ARE THESE?! I CANT' WEAR ANY OF THIS! IT'S INAPPROPRIATE!"

"Kaoru, please calm down! In our world, these are perfectly acceptable. Here, this is the least revealing outfit I have!"

After a few more minutes of silence Kaoru's bedroom door slid open and she walked back into the dojo. Curious about the earlier outburst, everyone turned to see what Kaoru had on. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a pink button up blouse. Kenshin blushed heavily when he looked at her. As did Saitoh, Aoshi, Sanosuke and Yahiko. Who knew Kaoru was so curvy? Kenshin mentally smacked himself in the head. No hentai thoughts about Kaoru-dono! Behave Himura!

Kaoru blushed when she saw everyone looking at her and knelt next to Kenshin. "So, let's get going. Who are all of you? Why are you here? Where did you come from? Who was that guy, Nakago? What does he want from you? What does he want from me? What is my connection to all this?"

Goku blinked twice. "Well, let's all introduce ourselves first. Like I said, this will take a while to explain everything. The hardest part is going to be explaining your connection, Kaoru. My name is Goku." He was the one who had saved Kaoru earlier from Nakago. He had three spikes on one side of his head and two on the other. He was wearing a blue undershirt and his gi and pants were orange with a strange symbol on the back of the gi. Sitting next to him was the woman with the Chinese clothing.

"My name is Chi-chi. I'm Goku's wife." She motioned to a teenager and a younger boy sitting next to her. The teenager had very short hair that stood straight up and was wearing an outfit identical to Goku's. "This is our son Gohan." Then she pointed to the younger boy who was about 8 or 9 years old who looked like a miniature version of Goku. "This is our other son, Goten."

Next to Goten was a man with black hair that stood straight up and came to a point. He had a deep widow's peak and a constant scowl on his face. He was wearing a blue spandex outfit and had silver armor on his torso. "I'm Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans." He had been looking Kaoru over critically and she was quite aware of it, but for some reason it didn't really bother her.

Sanosuke snickered. "Prince, huh?"

To everyone's surprise, Aoshi spoke up. "What's a Saiyan?"

The woman with blue hair spoke. "That will be explained later. My name is Bulma and I'm Vegeta's wife. This is our son Trunks." She motioned to a boy also about 8 or 9 who had lavender hair and was wearing clothes like his father. Next to him sat someone who looked exactly like him. "This is our son Trunks." The entire Kenshin-gumi blinked twice. "The younger one is from our time. The older one is from another time line in the future."

A deep voice came from one of the walls. "I'm Piccolo." A large green man wearing a purple outfit, white cape and white turban nodded at them in greeting.

Kaoru was the first to speak. "I'm Kamiya Kaoru, but for some reason you all seem to know that already."

"I'm Himura Kenshin. I live here with Kaoru-dono."

"I'm Myojin Yahiko. Kaoru and Kenshin rescued me from some yakuza and now I live here and Kaoru teaches me the Kamiya Kasshin Style of swordsmanship."

"I'm Sagara Sanosuke. I'm a friend of theirs."

"My name is Takani Megumi. I'm a doctor."

"I'm Makimachi Misao! I live in Kyoto and am the okashira of the Oniwabanshuu, a group of ninjas."

"My name is Shinomori Aoshi. I also am from Kyoto and am a member of the ninja clan Misao leads."

"I'm Saitoh Hajime. A policeman here in Tokyo."

Kaoru spoke again, having taken some sort of control over the situation. "Now that we all know each other's names, why don't you tell us why you're here?" She raised an eyebrow at Vegeta who was still looking at her.

Vegeta snickered recognizing the look. It was one he used often. It's definitely her. Not only is the resemblance there, but the ki is there as well. She just hasn't opened up yet to let it out. "I'll start by telling you about the Saiyans. Kakkarot and I are two of the only three full-blooded Saiyans left. Our children are half-Saiyan. Our race was one of strong and proud people. We used to work for an evil tyrant named Frieza. We would rid planets of their inhabitants so he could sell them to other races that needed a new planet. We were growing too strong and Frieza was afraid of what we could be. So, he blew up our planet. Kakkarot was sent off to Earth minutes before the attack and I was on assignment elsewhere."

Yahiko looked at Vegeta. "Who's Kakkarot?"

Goku looked over at the boy. "Oh, that's me! My Saiyan name is Kakkarot. I keep trying to get Vegeta to call me by my Earth name, but he won't!"

Sanosuke spoke up. "This story is nothing but a bunch of shit!"

Kaoru hissed at him. "Shut up, Sano! For some reason, I believe them. I've had some

weird feeling ever since they showed up. I can't explain it, but I know they aren't lying."

Goku continued the story. "If we tell you the entire story, we'll be here for days. So, just the important bits. We went to a planet called Namek, which is where Piccolo is from. That's where Frieza was. We defeated Frieza and went home. Unfortunately, one of Frieza's top henchmen was far off in another part of the galaxy. He was serving Frieza merely so he could get revenge on him later. You see, Frieza had ordered the destruction of his home planet, but he was gone when it happened. His name was Nakago. Nakago is furious that we destroyed Frieza which took away his chance of revenge and also, since Frieza ordered the destruction of his planet…"

Goku trailed off and Kaoru finished. "The Saiyans were the ones who destroyed the inhabitants."

"Exactly." Piccolo was speaking this time. "You're probably curious about the two Trunks'. Well, there were some androids who were wreaking havoc in his world, so he traveled back in time to get help from us and to warn us so we could be ready when they got to us."

Misao spoke up. "This is all so confusing!"

Future Trunks looked at Misao. "Don't worry. We're a confusing bunch. It gets easier once you get used to the idea that nothing is normal with us." Misao gave a giggle and looked at Kaoru who was obviously thinking about something. Her face was set in a scowl and her fists were clenching and unclenching in her lap. Misao looked from Kaoru to Vegeta, Kaoru to Vegeta.

"Oh, my goodness! You two look so much alike!"

The entire Goku group gasped. Vegeta just smirked. "You're catching on."

Kaoru's face didn't change. "I think I know where this is going. And I'm telling you, it's a lie. I've believed everything you've told us up to this point. But, I REFUSE to believe what you're going to say next."

Goku took on a sympathetic look. "Kaoru, you're not human. You're a Saiyan, just like us. Vegeta said we were two of the three still alive. You're the third. It was hard for me to accept the idea, but I knew in my heart it was true. And I'm sure you know it as well."

Kaoru was on the verge of tears. "No. No. NO! My parents were human. My mother died when I was young. My father just a few years ago. They may be gone, but I'm a human! I always have been, always will be!"

Vegeta looked at her in distaste. "So pathetic. My sister, the princess of the Saiyan race, a mere whimpering fool. You can't accept the truth. You want to believe that you're one of these weakling humans."

Kaoru looked at him in surprise. "Your sister? A princess? No, of course not! I'm human!"

Vegeta looked at her again, a softer expression on his face. "Do you have a tail?"

Saitoh looked him over. "Why would she have a tail?"

Gohan offered an explanation. "All full blooded Saiyans have tails. If she has a tail, she's a Saiyan."
