Haunting Mists
The Second Part
by Black Beyond
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, people! I'm back with Hauntings Part 2, and the story gets stranger. (If that's possible.) Lena meets Vegeta, and Vegeta gets some weird ideas about the lovely saiya-jin vampire. But I'm giving away information here, a bad thing. So I'll shut up, save you form the torture of listening to me, and let you read the story.
A little note to Acyla: Actually, threatening readers DOES work. At least, it seems to for me. And I'm not going to pretend to be crazy-- because I'm insane. Yeah. I can't pretend to be something I already am. And I know all about Ash the Wanderer... I think I can proudly add myself to his list of "People Who Hate Me". And as for my ego-- all you people make it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for me to have one. So I have to pretend in that area. Hehe, stop taking everything so seriously! And I know you'll probably flame me for this, but I'm really depressed and stuff so I can't care less. But I hope you'll understand what I'm trying to say here-- no, I'm not like that, i apologize if I gave you that impression. I tend to babble.
And now, for those I haven't scared off.... here's the second part! It's kind of short... but... *sweatdrop*...

She came to, and realized she was being carried through the air. Someone was carrying her.
"And you just found her? No ship, no nothing?" It was a deeper voice than before.
"Yeah! And she looked confused for a minute. Like she didn't know anything. But then she seemed to realize something, and her ki just dropped, and she fainted." Goten was speaking.
"She said her name was Selena. She knew Goten and I were hybrids. Right off. First sentence that wasn't an order."
"She sounds like Vegeta all right!" The man holding her laughed.
"Bulma's not gonna be happy."
"She's the only one with a tail. I bet she's the only saiya-jin female alive. I wonder where she's been all this time." Trunks wondered.
"She doesn't look like a saiya-jin, that could be why. No one would suspect her if she kept her tail hidden."
"D'you think we should take off her tail?" Goten asked. "She could cause some damage if she transformed."
"There's no way in hell you're cutting off my damn tail. I'll kill you all first." She grumbled. "I like my tail where it is, thank you." She clutched man holding her. She could feel the blood running through his viens...
I'm not a vampire, but the urge for blood is just as strong. I'm gonna have to get used to this.
She opened one eye to see they were thousands of feet in the air. "ACK!" She screamed, and hugged him even harder. "We're so high up! Seesh! What the hell do you think you're doing, if you drop me you could kill me this isn't funny!"
Trunks began to laugh. "Oh, she's dad alright." he mumbled.
"Sorry, but this is the fastest way to travel. Could you loosen up a little? You're choking me." She looked up to see a very handsome man with a very blue face.
"Oh!" She loosened her grip-- a little. She looked over to see Goten and Trunks flying beside them, and wrapped her tail around her waist all the tighter. "My tail isn't going anywhere." She said to Goten, growling at him. Goten gulped at her furious glare.
"I just meant, you know, if you transformed.... you could flatten the city... and we don't want to flatten the city..."
"If I was going to flatten the city, I wouldn't waste my time transforming to do it." She replied curtly. "So back off, Buster."
"I'm Goku, and this is my son, Goten."
"We've met." Lena continued to glare at Goten, muttering under her breath about how she was gonna kill him.
"Where are you from?" Goku asked her.
Oh, that's an easy question to answer! "Long story." She said softly. "To put it short, I didn't know I was a saiya-jin until a few hours ago. I've been living on Earth as a human. I thought I was a vampire-- but it seems I'm a full-blood saiya-jin, and a half-blood vampire." She explained.
Why do I feel so attached to this tail? She looked down to see the soft brown fur tail around her waist. It's like it's been there my whole life and I've never noticed it. But I'll kill Cutie over there before anyone takes it off.
"V-v-vampire?" Lena smiled at Goku and Goten. "Half-blood. I don't feel the instincts of the vampire as much as I do the saiya-jin. But I do love the taste of blood." Trunks nodded.
"All saiya-jin do. Dad is crazy about raw meat." He shuddered at the idea. Lena watched as a large compound came into view, and the three guys touched down.
As soon as she was close enough, Lena jumped down out of Goku's arms.
"I hate heights." She muttered, landing on her feet with a cat-like grace. "I really hate heights."
"We noticed." Goku's face began to turn it's normal color.
"You should have known better than to pick up a strange girl. You're lucky I only half-strangled you instead of killing you." She informed them. "I may only be sixteen, but I can kick ass."
"I'll go tell Mom we've got a visitor." Trunks said, and went into a door, shaking his head.
"Who's Vegeta, anyway?" She asked, pulling off the the hot gloves. "Is he saiya-jin too?" Goku and Goten began to laugh.
"Yeah-- he acts just like you." Goten said. Lena frowned.
"No one acts just like me." She growled.
There was a loud crash that made them all jump. And then a woman screaming obsenities. "VEGETA YOU DUMBASS! YOU BLEW IT UP AGAIN!" A woman with blue hair stomped out of the house and to the building where the explosion had occured. "ARE YOU OKAY?"
"I'm fine, Woman. Don't screech like that, you're gonna break every mirror in the house." A man that looked a little like Goku emerged from the rubble, looking kind of beat-up. Trunks followed the woman and whispered something in her ear while Goku and Goten began to laugh even harder.
Lena narrowed her eyes and looked around impatiently. She wanted to do something, fight, eat, and kill were on the top of her list, but decided to stand there until somethnig interesting happened.
"Oh! I didn't notice you." Bulma said, brightening at the prospect of a visitor. "Hello. Are you a friend of Goten's?" She asked, while Vegeta sulked behind her. Then Vegeta saw her tail. He almost had a heart attack. He began choking.
"Only if wanting to tear out Goten's throat qualifies as a friend. What's with him?" She asked, pointing to Vegeta.
"Vegeta?" Bulma sounded alarmed. She slapped him on the back, and he stopped coughing. "Why do you want to rip Goten's throat out?" Bulma asked curiously, while Vegeta stared at Lena.
"Because the little jerk wanted to cut off my tail. And my tail isn't going anywhere." She turned around to glare at the boy again.
"Hey! I get it already! The tail stays!" Goten put his hands up in surrendar.
"Your tail?"
"She's got a damn tail, Woman!" Vegeta yelled at Bulma. "Didn't you see it? Can't you see it?"
"Yeah." Goku shrugged, while Trunks looked amused. "She's a saiya-jin."
"But that's impossible, Kakorotto!" Vegeta turned to yell at Goku. "Has your brain slipped completely? Vegetasei was destroyed! All the saiya-jin died!"
"Obviously not." Lena rose a few feet in the air, silently marvling at how easy it was. "I'm here, aren't I? And I'm not going to stand here all day while you idiots decide what I am. I'm going to find something to eat." She put on her gloves again as she spoke.
She took off with a streak of ki. The four saiya-jins stared after it, and Bulma walked into the house again, muttering abuot construction workers.
"Is she really?" Vegeta asked.
"She looked it, and she had the tail..."
"I thought all saiya-jin looked the same." Goten said. "Dark hair and eyes. But her hair is light brown and her eyes are gold."
"We can look different." Vegeta said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Most of us look like me. With the exception of Kakorotto." He sniffed. "But all the saiya-jin were killed."
"She said she was born on earth, and became a half-vampire. But she's a full saiya-jin." Goten said.
"And she's very protective of her tail." Trunks added with a smirk.
"That could be an interesting mixture." Vegeta said, grinning. "Blood-sucker meets killer. An interesting mixture indeed."
"I don't think we should leave her alone. She could try to blow up something." Goten said. Trunks nodded.
"Let's go find her." Vegeta said immediatly.
"Goten, go tell your mother I'll be late again." Goku whinced at the thought of Chichi's reply. "And if you're still alive, you can tell her about Lena."

Ackies. This part was kind of short, but... *scratches head*... erm, I'm really sorry about it. Anywho, you know the deal. At least eight reviews, people. Come on. I mean, I don't ask for much. I count flames. (They make me HAPPY! :) But I'm a more or less reasonable psycho. Make me happy and I write. Make me mad and I pout and sulk and don't right.
Shinimegami: God. What are you, an overgrown cat?
Shinie, that's the nicest thing you ever said to me.
Chibi-Setsuna: HEY! You've been writing behind my back AGAIN! *fumes at authoress* I'm the best muse you have and you're taking SHIN'S advise and finished this stupid ficcy when you SHOULD be finishing Indifference! You know, the GOOD anime that has ME in it?
Stuff it Sets. *inserts earplugs to tune out Sets and Shinie fighting again* Minna, meet my muses. *sweatdrop* Yeah, they're always like this....
Sets: DIIIIIIIE!
Shinie: With pleasure.... Muwahahahahahaha!
