Opening her eyes she shuddered, she was in a regeneration tank, again. 'I will not freak.' She thought to herself while tapping on the glass window before her. The Sayain on the other side moved quickly and she was soon out of the cause of her paranoia. Looking to her savoir, she grinned. "Hi Radditz." He looked at her, truly, for the first time and she fell to the floor, he had been holding her. "Thanks." She growled pulling her tired form off the freezing floor. "Mind getting me something to wear." Her last of sentence had not been a request and she was soon being given new clothes. Examining herself she felt the tenderness of new skin, she had taken some nasty burns from the o-zone.
"You…you look…just like." She looked up alertly at Radditz while he tried to stutter a sentence out. Did he recognize her? "My mother." She raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Well brother." She called reveling in his obvious shock. "I would hope so." Before the longhaired Sayain could speak, she found herself in the familiar death hug of Goku.
"You're ok! I was so worried and then they put you in that water thing and I knew you wouldn't like it cause." She cut him off with her hand and sent him a meaningful look. For all that, he wasn't bright Goku did know when she was trying to tell him to shut up.
"We'll speak later, I would like to see the others alive and that means you have to get there so the wishes can be made." She whispered just loud enough for him to hear. "Why don't you leave big sister Azkutzy alone and go bother Radditz." She jerked a finger in the direction of her twin and saw Goku's eyes harden. "He's ok, really." She added genuinely trying not to have her brother kill her other brother. Moving to her twin, she held him to her face. "Keep your mouth shut, I'll explain later." She knew what he was thinking. How could Kakkarrot be alive after he had seen him die? She was about to exit the hospital room in search of Baradock but was blocked. By Kanzia.
"You're alive!"
"So I've been told." She spoke dryly. "Was there ever a doubt?"
"Yes." Bulma raised a brow and followed the other woman to what smelled like the mess hall. "Didn't they tell you? I was fine for the most part, unconscious but alive. You on the other hand had inhaled the atmosphere and looked like a ki burnt meal." Bulma winced at the thought; maybe it wasn't so bad she had been knocked out after all. "That and both our clothes had burned away leaving us, well the guard got a good peep show. Luckily, it was a female posting that night." Bulma nodded in agreement, the thought of her body being on display brought back more memories than she wished to recall. "My brother wants to meet you, not to thank you." Kanzia had a wry expression and she looked amused. "No, no not to thank you, well not outright, but this is his way of rewarding you for saving his baby sister."
"I'm sure you had nothing to do with it."
"Oh no, never would I tell him what I think of him." The look of innocence was lost on Kanzia by the devils gleam in her eyes. Bulma had been ready for a meal with a presence of a too proud but still protective brother when she entered the private dining room, but nearly choked on her heart when she met gazes with none other than Vegeta. "Now, now no bowing he's not worth it, really." Kanzia said taking her shock for respect. Soon Bulma found herself seated in the chair in front of the one who had claimed her.
'I still have to get him back for that too.' She thought doing her best not to glare at him, she was still angry at that bit of information. Dirt underhanded way top go about it.'
For some reason, he found the fourth class an interest. She didn't stutter, even though it was quite apparent that she hadn't expected the one she had saved to be the princess. She seemed to not be put off by her new surroundings, though the records clearly stated she had been thought dead since her first mission. But she didn't speak of where she had been all the years and it seemed she had no intention of doing so. In fact, she didn't speak much at all. (Ya I know Bulma quiet. : STOP LAUGHING: But remember she's trying to keep a low profile.) Though he had to admit, she had been inventive of their escape of the crumbling ship. Not one part of it had been found, all of it having burned in the atmosphere. But something about her kept nagging at his mind, when she was distracted he looked her over. She was beautiful; as Sayain standards went but he couldn't help but prefer a certain spitfire female he had bonded to. 'Then why am I so interested in this woman?!' (Could be they're the same person?? No? Ok.) As soon as the meal was over she made a graceful retreat, an excuse about needing to speak with her father.
"I think you're attracted to her." Removing his gaze from where he had last seen the woman he looked to his sister."
"Don't count on it. What did they do to you? Your mind seems to have gone soft." He received a glare from his sibling and smirked.
"Fine deny it but don't come bawling to me when she runs off with a mate and you're all jealous."
"Quiet Kanzia, my state of company is of none of your concern." At that, his sister seemed to calm down.
"I heard that you grew attached to someone." He grunted while eating some more of the food on the table. "So it's true. Was it also true that she was a slave?" Glaring at his sister, he knew she wouldn't leave 'till he quenched her thirsty curiosity.
"She was stronger than you. Not bad sparing partner if I didn't raise my ki too high. Couldn't cook to save her life and has more intelligence than all the science wing combined."
"You didn't…?"
"I did." He admitted watching in amusement as her eyes widened. The only reason he told her any of this was because he could trust her to keep silent about it.
"Where is she I want to meet her."
"She left some time ago."
"Didn't you go after her?" Turning to his sister, he spoke.
"Would you have returned to someone if they held you captive, if its in her she will return."
She could hear the hope that he was holding onto. This was not her overly arrogant brother, but rather a man waiting for the girl to return. Nice change of events. 'Whoever you are girl, don't keep him waiting forever.'
OOC I KNOW and I'm sorry but it can't be helped. Well Next Chapter its family time for the Son/Briefs/Baradock family what you all think? ANY way review and stuff I LOVE reading them. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm think veggie should figure out who Azkutzy is soon?
