Kitane looks over to Riaya who is standing calmly with her arms folded across her chest. The information doesn't seem to have affected her one bit. Riaya drops her arms at her side and walks forward to where they are standing. Kitane's mind is working overtime to try to grasp this new bit of information. "He doesn't look Saiyajin at all . how can this be?" Questions keep pouring into her head, as she tries to organize her thoughts.

Vejita's ki has not diminished, and he notices the sudden drop in his challenger's ki. He is about to take advantage of the situation when a voice interrupts him.

"So, you are Vejita-sama." Riaya stares at him with a mix of admiration and fear. She has only heard stories about him. She looks away before she can reveal too much in the expression on her face. She swallows her feelings and presents the usual diplomatic demeanor before she continues.

'What the .? Nobody has called me that since Vejita-sei was destroyed. Who are these two?

Vejita stands with his arms folded across his chest and looks at the girl in front of him. The expression on his face is something akin to frustration, mixed with curisoity. It's as if he is trying to look undaunted by this turn of events, but his face expresses just enough of what's going on under that glare.

"Who are you?" His voice is stern and demanding. The others from the party gather around him straining to get a look at the two unknown visitors.

Kitane has sheathed her sword and now stands to her companions right, slightly behind her. Although she has seceeded to Vejita, albeight involuntarily, she keeps her senses alert and glares at him.

Riaya answers him with a calm comanding voice. "I am Riaya and this it Kitane. We have been looking for you, Vejita-sama."

Goten and Trunks trade confused looks, while the others in the group just stare.

Vejita hmphs, "Yeah, well you've found me. What do you want?"

Riaya and Kitane take a few steps toward Vejita, while Kitane continues to glare at him. "We came a great distance to . help you ." Riaya says with a calm voice, showing no emotion.

At this, Vejita smiles wickely and begins to laugh. "you? Help me? I am the Prince of the Saiyajin, I don't need help from the likes of you!"

The derogatory tone emphasized on the last word of his sentence makes Kitane's ki increase and she clenches her fist at her side. She looks directly at Vejita with a cold evil glare. 'Riaya and I should just leave him to his fate and let him see whose help he needs.'

Chi-Chi and Bulma look to each other and with knowing glances decide to dosomething before another fight erupts.

"Why don't we go inside and you can tell us more about why you're here, ne?" Bulma says as she points to the house. Chi-Chi yells at Goten, Gohan, and Goku who are trying to sneak off without helping her clean up.

Bulma puts her hand on Riaya's shoulder and looks over at Kitane, "You both must be exhasted. Come on inside and we'll get you cleaned up."

Bulma leads Riaya towards the house and Kitane steps forward to follow but is stopped by a single gloved hand.

"We will finish our fight!" Vejita coldly stares at her, and Kitane nods in agreement. "So we shall." With that she heads in the direction of Riaya and the green haired woman. Vejita wathces them leave.

Trunks approaches his father carefully, brushing off his clothes and putting his sword away. "What was that all about?"

Vejita shakes his head. "I don't know, but if you EVER interfere in my fight again, you'll get more that a little dirt on your clothes!!" With that, Vejita turns and walks toward the house.

Trunks is left standing in the yard, with only his thoughts for company. "Why does he have to be such a baka yarro! And who are those two girls? How do they know Otousan?"

Goten runs up and slaps him on the back. "Well, are you coming or not?"

"Hn? . Oh, yeah, let's go."

The two boys begin to run towards the house.
