Sorry for the delay in the update for this story. I've been busy with the final weeks of school.

Guess what? I still don't own DBZ.

That night I heard something moving around, about midnight according to the clock on my bedside table. I thought that it was just Master Roshi or Oolong getting a midnight snack, but something in the back of my mind made me stretch my senses out to identify this person. I recognized the ki immediately. Marron was downstairs and heading towards the front door. Why would she be going outside? Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. She's sneaking out! That was definitely not okay. I rose from bed to look out the window, seeing if she really was leaving, or just going outside for some unknown reason. She was packing things in her car, definitely leaving.

I let her get in the car and into the air before I put my clothes on. As angry as I was, I still wanted to get to the bottom of this, so I was going to follow her. Then when I found out where she was going, I would appear, kill her and who ever she was with. Well, I wouldn't kill Marron. I couldn't make promises about anyone else. I took off after her, following her from a distance.

She drove for about an hour, pulling in front of an apartment complex. I hid in some trees so she couldn't see me. I took a look around, noticing my surroundings. This place looked real familiar. Then I noticed a red sports car parked in front of the building. It finally rang a bell in my still sleep clouded head. That car belonged to Yamcha. Why would Marron come to see Yamcha in the middle of the night? It just didn't make any sense to me.

I had to find out what was going on, so I swiftly and silently made my way over to the balcony of Yamcha's apartment. I moved to the balcony using the trees instead of just flying, all the while pressing my ki down to undetectable levels. It would not do to have Yamcha sense me, preventing me from finding out what was going on. Hiding in the shadows, I listened in carefully as I crouched by the open balcony door.

What I heard surprised me, they were discussing my, in their opinion, overprotective parenting. Yamcha looked down on my child and then kissed her full on the lips. Cradling her in his arms, he told her "Everything's going to be all right. I'll make you dad see that we are meant for each other."

I rose from my hiding place, and stared at them. Both were wide eyed at my sudden appearance. Shaking with rage, I said in a low, cold voice. "That is where you are wrong."
The next chapters are where my story and Kinomi's "Suspicions" take a huge divergence. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Tell me what you think.
