"Morning Daddy!" a blue haired young lady greeted from the breakfast table. Immediately Vegeta began to melt, "Morning B-chan." Then he quickly left while he still had some dignity left. Vegeta retreated to the gravity room, he didn't know how Bra did it or when but some how she made him go soft. 'Scratch that it was the woman and her stupid human ways that did it.' Vegeta walked over to the control panal and turned it on. 'Good thing they're not alive to see how soft I've become.' Feeling the gravity begin to pull down on him he shoved all previous thoughts away and began his training..
"Bra, where's your Father?" Bulma asked her daughter.
"The GR where else." Bulma nodded and headed off that way to find her husband.
"Vegeta are you in here? Vegeta?" Bulma called out pushing the gravity room door open. Bulma saw Vegeta meditating in the top left hand corner of the room, however there was something different about him but she couldn't put her finger on it. Bulma tip-toed across the floor till she was just behind him, she slide her hands over his eyes and breathed into his ear, "Guess who."
The right side of Vegeta's mouth pulled up ever so slightly. He always found his mate's games to be rather annoying but he always liked the out come of them. "My sister." Bulma moved around to sit in her husband's lap. She grabed his face and brought it down to hers. Vegeta gladly complied. "Hmm, I don't remember my sister kissing me like that."
Bulma smacked Vegeta's arm, "You don't have a sister." Vegeta only smirked at this remark. Bulma looked at Vegeta up and down, noticing his silver eyes she frowned, "Why are you transformed?"
Vegeta looked at his mate, his thoughts centering on other things they could be doing besides talking. Bulma knew what he was thinking but chose to ignore it. Vegeta realizing that Bulma was ignoring him he sighed, "I'm not sure, I just felt the need to meditate in this form."
"But every time you do the same thing happens, you have blackouts or you suddenly go into a trance and you can't control your strength!" Bulma pointed out.
"I'll deal with it." Bulma glared up at Vegeta then got up without another word. "Woman, I didn't get what I want." Vegeta growled.
"Well you should have thought of that before you transformed. So now you're just going to wait until you have complete control again." With that said she closed the door behind her.
Vegeta growled and his eyes momentarily lit up, then he detransformed and slunked. However he didn't get to pout for long for he was suddenly attacked from behind. "What the…Who dares to attack me from behind!" Vegeta jumped out from underneath his attacker and twisted into a fighting stance. Vegeta wasn't sure what to expect but seeing a man no older than him on the floor laughing was not it. Grabbing the strange man by the throat he lifted him off the ground. "Okay buddy what are you doing here."
The man laughed all the harder which in return caused Vegeta to tighten his grip. "Hey now is this any way to treat your fellow Saiyin-jin?"
Vegeta dropped the man out of shock. "What are you talking about?" Vegeta demanded. The man was his height and strangely enough had the same basic facial structure as him, except for the mischievous look he supported. His hair was rather short with bangs that gave a boyish look to him, but the widow's peak was still visible behind his bands. He wore a loose fitting dark blue tunic, baggy black pants, and a brown belt. Vegeta did a double take on the belt. The stranger noticed this and unwound his 'belt' and waved at Vegeta with it.
"I'm Tru." He held out his hand palm upward.
Vegeta looked at his hand skeptically before covering it with his own. "Vegeta."
Tru's eyebrows shot up with this, "Vegeta, right." Before Vegeta could say anything in remark to Tru's statement he found himself being pushed out the door.
"Hey, just what do you think you're doing?"
"Well, Vegeta." Tru emphasized his name, "you have to meet everyone else!"
"There's more?" Vegeta asked baffled.
Tru never answered for his attention was on a different matter, like why this guy didn't have a tail, "hey, where's your tail?"
Vegeta looked at him for a moment as though he was studying him. "It was cut off." He stated simply.
Tru's tail wrapped itself tighter around his waist. "Ouch." By now they were out the door, and he was leading Vegeta to the woods.
"How do I know you don't actually want to kill me?" Vegeta knew that if that was his intention he wouldn't admit it but Vegeta still played along, he could handle whatever came out of the woods.
"For as long as you've known me, do you really think I'd lead you into a trap?" Tru asked looking hurt by such an accusation. Vegeta was about to retort that he didn't know him but he noticed a tall figure step out from the trees.
"Tru, is that a trick question?" The figure asked in Saiyin-go. When the light revealed the stranger's appearance Vegeta was tacken back. It was like looking at a taller version of himself. The man wore a black short tunic, wide gray pants, and a silver looking breast plate with Vegeta-sei's crest in the middle.
Five others followed the stranger's lead, three girls and two more guys appeared from the trees. Tru stepped up beside Vegeta and smiled. "Hey I found him! This is Vegeta." still putting the emphases on his name. Vegeta growled deciding he didn't like this Tru character.
"Vegeta is it?" A woman walked towards him. Judging by the aurora she gave off one could say that she was of high standing and very confident. She was dressed in a sheer tunic that ended mid-thigh. A red ribbon with thread entwined together to form a rope like object cress-crossed around her midsection. She wore, what could be taken for as black slacks. Her hair was fine like a human and was tied on top of her head with a group of braids spilling out. She held her palm out expectantly.
"It is. Do you have a problem with it as well?" Vegeta turned his head to glare at Tru.
"No, I'm Laguel." She smiled warmly at Vegeta who covered her hand with his own. When Vegeta removed his hand she continued on. "I'm the oldest. And these are the rest of my siblings. The one that looks like you is Veg. He's the second oldest." Vegeta got the impression that this is a sore subject between the two. "The one by the bush is Shani." Shani smiled at him and did a small wave. Her hair was spiky like a Saiyin-jin's hair should be. It was shoulder length and the front was pulled back. She had a widows peak like everyone else in the group. She wore a sheer loose shirt, baggy pants with tall boots.
"The one next to her is Shlara." Shlara smirked slightly. She had a tom-boy feel to her. Her hair was plled up on either side of her head. Smaller spikes stuck out from the base of the tie while the longer ones reached down to her thigh. Her pants and boots were like her sister's beside her. But her shirt was different, it hugged her chest and showed of her stomach. The collar over laped and was pined to one side. She wore fingerless gloves to finish it off.
"The big guy at the end is Xanth." The man just stared at Vegeta. Xanth was defiantly tall, he had to be at least 6'5", much taller that his 5'6" stance. His hair was short and spiked up. He wore no shirt but had loose gi like pants, however the brown material seemed heavier.
"The one between Veg and Xanth is Orn." Orn nodded at Vegeta. He wasn't to much taller than Vegeta, he was probably the same height as Kakarotto. His hair ended a little past his shoulders and was tied back. He wors a high neck gray fitted shirt with wide black pants similar to Veg's.
"You've met Tru," Tru smiled at Vegeta. "and the last of us would be Liao." Vegeta looked at her strangely he only counted seven people, where was the eighth? Noticing that Laguel was looking in his direction Vegeta turned to find no one. Vegeta's confused look caused Tru to start snickering, which quickly became a full fledge laugh from everyone except Xanth who just smiled.
"What the heck is so funny?" Vegeta demanded. He didn't know what he missed buy it had to be something that made him look like an idiot. He looked to Xanth the only one not laughing for help.
"You are Liao." A rich baritone emerged from the giant.
"No, I'm Vegeta Saiyin-no-ouji." The prince declared.
This declaration caused everyone to stop. A worried expression crossed Laguel's face, "Wow, Frieza sure did a number on you."
