Chapter 7

Let's play a game!!!!!

"Kan!Kan!KAN!"Pan called from the other side of the lawn as Makane walked to school,"MAKANE VEGETA BREIFS!"

Makane halted at the name 'Vegeta',her hair flaring in front of her she whipped around to be faced with a rather annoyed Pan,hands on hips and a very big scowl,"Couldn't you hear me!?"

Makane 's brows furrowed together in confusion and apology,"I'm sorry Pan,"Pan seemed pleased at hearing her first name,"I was just lost in thought,please accept my apology?"

Pan nodded,"Well sure of course!"she smiled,not thinking to ask what was wrong,not that Makane would have told her.

Makane held her books in front of her,"Thanks." she breathed.

"I was just coming to say thanks,I mean,now me and Trunks-and Goten and Bra,we wouldn't have managed-" Pan began to stutter.

Makane smiled,her warm eyes shone,"It's okay Pan,it was no problem."

Pan beemed,"Your great Kan!"she chimed and walked off.

The dark-haired Brief blew a strand of hair out of her face,which at the moment was up in a ponytail.

"Great....yeah...juuuust great." she sighed.

"Yo Breif!"

Makane jumped slightly,and turned to the giggleing attacker,"Geez Breif!I thought you could sense that stuff!" it was the closest to an apology she'd get and Kan let it slip,a smile spread across her face,"I'm just tired Nibico." she pushed the seafoam green haired girl playfully,her ruby eyes opened and observed her,"You know Makan,you look,like crap."

She eyed her friend,"That was brutally honest." she admitted,"And yeah,I probobly do,next to the all-time green haired goddess." she teased.

Nibico giggled,"What cha doin' after school?" she asked eyeing a basketball game the senior boys were playing and waved back to a few that took a break to wave to them.

Kan waved back too and shook her head,"Nothing that I know off,but mom might call before the day is over."

Nibico frowned then smiled,"Well hey!If you ever get a day off,I get first dibs!"

Makane nodded,her ponytail swaying,"Yeah,okay." she agreed.

The school bell rang.

"Breif....."the teacher called in attencance.

"Here." Makane awnsered quickly."Son...."

"Here!" Pan said quickly,it was P.E. and Makane shared the class with all grades so Pan was there.

"Zorinak..."

"Here!" Nibico shouted happily

"Okay,"the coach shut her book,"Today we're doing gymnastics."

Makane eyed Pan,"It will test your flexibilty and strength."

Pan smirked,strength was her departement in the class,but flexibility was Makane's.

Makane had never been really strong,amonst the Z fighters anyways,she never got to spar for instance,she was considered to delicate.

Heh,I'm just the cibling meant to take over the company even though that's Trunks' job.she told herself.

There was no way Trunks could train and take over the company.

"Brief!"the coach shouted,"Come on over here and show the newbies how it's done!" she ordered.

Pan had just finished showing them (by breaking the machine) how hard her grip was.

Makane quickly walked over,she was by far one of the smallest in the class,and she saw some ninth graders start whispering,her sayain ears picked it up,"She's so small,you really think she can do it?"

"I dunno,but hey,she's pretty cute eh?" Kan blushed,the girls were stareing at her some measuring her up and some with curiousity.

"Yeah coach?" Kan asked when she halted in front of the teacher.

"I want you to do a hand balancing technique,"she winked,"Just a small one-at first."

Makane smiled,"Sure coach." she nodded her dark head and mounted onto the poles,first holding her legs paralelle to the ground then she hoisted her whole body so it was veritcal,a handstand.

"Excellent posture,very straight,very centered,you see?" the coach asked some ninth graders and pointed some things out,"It's okay to wobble a bit,even pros do." she smiled,the ninth graders seemed scared,Makane quickly shifted her legs into a split position and grabbed her closest one with her arm bending over completely backwards.

"Now class,Breif here is-as you can see-very good at this,i don't even expect you to hold your lower half the first few days,so don't be to intemedated." she encouraged them as Kan continued to balance on one hand and slowly,gracefully she turned her body in a very slow flip,her legs needle striaght carving an elegant circle in the air and bending her elbow to bring her body lower to rest her abdomen on the pole.

The class was awed,little did they know that Kan did this almost everyday,along with alot of other things in the G.R,she usually slipped in earlier in the morning than her dad,she was used to little sleep.

On normal earth gravity her balance was beyond perfect.

She lifted her head back to see Pan smirking,her arms crossed,sure Pan was strong,and impressive,but she was something to watch.

Makane gave Pan her own smirk,they both knew what each other were capable of.

'You have to keep a low profile in school okay?' her mom had told her,Makane found most of the Z offspring obligded.

Deciding she'd done enough showing off,Makane gracefully dismounted,her darkhair falling behind her shoulders.

"Bravo!" the coach clapped as did the rest of the class.

Makane blushed,the entire class had stopped to watch her.

Unlike her father,she did have a sense of humility,even amongst humans.

"Once again Brief pulls of a brilliant spectacular gym class." Nibico imitated the voice of an announcer and giggled,"Did you see the faces of the newbies?"

Makane blushed,"Yeah,they did look surprised didn't they." she agreed as she twisted her combo on her lock and opened her locker and shoved her books in and grabbed her back pack.

"So you free tonight?" Nibico asked from next to her,fixing her hair in the mirror despite the fact that it was time to go home.

The dark haired Breif shrugged and took out her cell phone,checking the text messages first.

One was from Marron,Krillin and 18's daughter,she wanted to know if Makane wanted to go to a party that weekend.

Another was from Bra telling her about the party at Marron's.

After flicking through the others from various friends Makane checked her voicemail which was empty and put the phone away.

Nibico raised a brow,"Now that you've checked yer schedual..." she said in a teasing tone.

Makane hit her friend playfully,being extremely careful to be soft about it.

"Yeah um free,and besides we have that English project to get done."

The green haired girl rolled her eyes,"Will you relax for a few seconds,the world won't end ya know." she teased,"We can hang out for a while after school,head to my place,do a bit on the project than decide what to do from there."

"Allrighty sounds good." Makane smiled and relaxed,it would be fun,she rarely got to spend time with Nibico,or any other of her friends for that matter.

"Hey guys!Wow Makane not gone yet!?Somebody get the camera!" a curly orange haired girl called out from down the hall,accompanied by a purple haired,blonde and a red haired girl.

The four were soon gathered around the locker,"Hey guys!" Kan greeted them cheerfully,"Yeah Nibico managed to catch me."

Nibico stuck out her tongue,"Yeah and I had to book you last year."

There were giggles,"Well Nibi,yer gonna have to share!Who's up for some basketball!?Tai asked me if we'd like to play this afternoon after school and I told him he was going down." the purple haired girl smiled and waited for there responses.

"I'm game." Makane piped up.She knew Tai and his friends,Tai was Sumi's brother,the orange haired girl,he was in his senior year.

The purple haired girl ,Kari, had blue eyes,she to had a brother,Tori,in senior year with Tai.

The red head and blond were twins,save for thier hair,Makane was thankful for it,even she wouldn't be able to have told them apart if not for it.

The blonde was Sakura the redhead was Kayori.

After changing out of the school uniform the girls raced each other out to the basketball court.

Makane slowed down to let Sumi take the lead.

The boys watched,cheered and whooped as they raced,Kane pulled back to let Sumi win in the end.

"That was deliberate!" a brown haired boy with spiky bangs accused playfully and bounced the basketball in his hand a few times.

"Yeah re-match!" A blue haired boy piped up and snatched the ball away,"I like watching chicks run."

"Tori!" Kari shouted and slapped her brother along side the head,causing him to drop the ball only to have it picked up by a very handsome red head.

"Is he giving you trouble Kari?" the red head asked and humbly offered her the ball.

Kari blushed immideiatly and took the ball thankfully,"Um,no it's okay.."

The red head winked at her,"If he ever does you come to Rai." he smiled and jabbed a thumb to his chest.

Kari blushed further.

"Here we go again." Makane sighed and watched as much to her surprise,the brown haired boy came up behind Kari and slapped the ball out of her hand.

"Ah!Hey Sumi your brother just stole the ball!" she whined,turning to flash her green eyes at the brown haired assailer.

"Taichi you bakka!" Sumi launched after the tall lean senior and attempted to get the ball.

Soon they were all in on the chase,Tai was laughing,holding the ball up out of reach or dribbling it out of the way to quickly for the girls.

"No fair!I'm not a basketball pro!" Sakura whined as she reached for it and Tai pivited out of her way.

Nibico was laughing and cried out when the ball swooped over her head to be caught by Tori who then passed it to Rai who passed it to Tai only to have it intersected by Makane.

"Whoa!She came outta no where!" Tai cried out in shock as she demi-sayainn appeared in front of him with the ball safely in her grasp.

Makane grinned slyly and threw the ball to Nibico who sank it in the net.

"It was about time Breif!" her green headed friend called from the net.

"Okay enough with that." Tai said defeated,he looked around at the girls,"How about boys against girls?"he asked casually.

"NO WAY!" came the chorus of awnsers in unison.

Tai smiled and spread his hands,"Awww come on..." he chided.

Makane smiled and pulled her hair up into a ponytail,"We can take 'em." she said slapping the ball out of Tai's hands and dribbling it over to the center.

Tai eyed the boys only to be greeted with smiles.

"Trunks!Truuuuunks!" Bra called from her apartement in the Breif household.

Trunks was there in a millesecond,"What?" he asked in a tired tone.

"Have you seen my shoes?" Bra asked lifting up the blue comforter and looking under the bed.

For a moment Trunks had trouble telling comforter from his sister's hair.

"How should I know where your shoes are?Try that city block closet of your's." he said rubbing his temple,he had just talked to Bulma about some buisness for the company and was not in the best of moods.

"They were my favourite!" Bra cried and ran over to her drawers and started throwing clothes out.

Trunks quickly caught them and folded them in one swift motion then laid them on the bed,using his sayain speed for help,which he needed as his sister seemed to have a bottomless pit of clothes.

"Bra they're all your favourites!"

"Yeah but these were my very favourites."

He groaned,"When does Kan get home?"

Bra shrugged and went back to looking under the bed,"For someone with blue hair,you sure do act blond."(NO OFFENCE)

She looked up at him and blinked,"Kan isn't coming home tonight,she's sleeping over at Nibico's house." Bra awnsered,"Now help me find my shoes!"

It was 2 in the morning at Nibico's house,her house was on one end of the town,the very edge and a big plain spread as far as the eye could see,flowing to meet with the star-speckled sky casting a glow on it.

The wind rustled her long dark hair.She sighed.She was to used to early hours,little or no sleep.

She stood there in nothing but her pj's,that's when it hit her.

That power.That strange power.Then it came back to her,that man....

She levetated over the ground for a moment without moving then slowly,like a hand had picked her up,she floated into the air,unsure of whether to go or not.

In the end,curiousity won over and she took off towards the nothingness of the plain ahead of her.
