Mysterious Fighter Chapter 7

Secret to Tell

Disclaimer: Just for the records, I do not own Dragonball Z or it's characters.
Claimer: I do however, own Emily and anyone else I decide to throw into this chapter that doesn't normally appear in Dragonball Z.

AN1: Hey guy's chapter 7 is up finally. Again, another chapter I lost on my stupid laptop so its not gonna be as good as the original but I tried to get most of the original wording memorised. So on with the story.

Emily stared around at all the anxious faces, ready for her to say what she had to say. How was she going to go about it? She had waited over 16 years for this day to happen. Before she could say anything though, Goten pulled at something around her waist.

"Hey, what's that?" He asked. Emily gasped as her tail unfolded itself from the belt shape she had originally tied it in and hung past her knees.

"Is that what I think it is?" Gohan asked staring between the tail and her. Emily sighed and nodded as she realised there was no going back now.

"Yes, Gohan it's a tail. A saiyan tail to be exact. The reason I have one is because I'm half saiyan. My name is Emily, Emi for short and I came to the tournament looking for someone my father knew. A man named Kakarot." She started.

"Wait a minute, your father knew me?" Goku asked. Emily nodded again.

"Yes, my father is a saiyan named Raditz. He came to earth and met my mother about five years before he went after you. A year later my mother had my twin brother, Adam, and me. Strangely enough, I was the only twin who inherited my father's saiyan genes. Adam is pure human (there is a reason for this that will be explained in a future fic that I'm currently writing - I'm not turning Emily into a Mary-Sue!!!)." She explained.

"So how come he never mentioned that he had a daughter?" Goku asked.

"He probably thought after what he did you'd come after me. I suppose he did do something bad, as he didn't come back. Shortly after he disappeared, my mother was killed and I've been shifted around foster families since." She explained.

"Yeah, he did something bad." Piccolo said darkly.

"I'm sorry about all of this. I just wanted you to know that I existed and I wanted to know that you existed. I don't want to bring up the past again, especially since it was a bad past. I think I'll go now." She said, scooping up her tail and taking off.

Sighing, Goku stared after her, not knowing what to think. He slowly turned back to the others helplessly.

"What do you all think?" He asked.

"Hey, she's your problem Kakarot, not mine." Vegeta said. Bulma glared at him.

"Well, if what she is saying is true, it could work. We had no idea how long Raditz had been on earth for. I still don't know how you guy's didn't sense her." She replied.

"She's not been trained to use her ki in battle, so she's not let it off. She does have a ki, but it's not a particularly powerful one so it doesn't really stand out." Gohan explained.

"Well if it's true then doesn't it mean that I have a cousin?" Goten piped up. Everyone had forgotten that the two chibi boys were with them, Gohan smiled at his little brother.

"Yes Goten, it means she's our cousin. What do you think dad, should we go after her?" Gohan asked, turning back to his father.

"Yeah, I believe her. She wouldn't have a tail if she was lying." Goku replied firmly getting up. Gohan nodded and stood up also.

"Me too, I'll come with you dad." He replied. Nodding, Goku took off in the direction Emily had gone in, Gohan following him.

They searched everywhere and there was no sign of the teen. They were about to give up when Gohan spotted her sitting in front of a fountain, her head buried in her hands. He was about to go up to her but a monk got there first. Frowning, the monk put his hand on her shoulder.

"Are you ok miss?" He asked, she looked up and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Emily replied. Her eyes were red and puffy.

The monk gave her a look as if to say, "I don't believe you" but left her anyway. Gohan seized the chance to go up to her, as she buried her head in her hands again. Gohan sighed as he made his way over to her and sat down next to her.

"Listen, we're not angry with you." He started. She looked up at him.

"I know, but my father did something awful so why should I suddenly come into your lives?" She asked, staring at him now. Gohan frowned, trying to answer it.

"That was your father. You are you. You are totally different from Raditz and therefore we should have no reason to hate you." He told her. Emily sighed, not knowing where to go next. She wasn't sure how she was going to get though this now. Goku took the opportunity to step in as he sat on the other side of the girl.

"Listen Emily, like Gohan said; what your father did had nothing to do with you. So we're not angry. Yes, he did something bad, he tried to convince me to go into space and then he kidnapped Gohan. Piccolo and myself had to destroy him." He said softly, not knowing how the girl was going to take it. To his surprise, she growled.

"He deserved it. He said he was going to come back and train me when he met up with you and told you about us. He said we could train together. It was one big fat lie! He had no plans to train me into fighting! He was going to leave me to be like a human whilst he went conquering planets again. I should have known he'd have done that." She sighed, balling her hands into fists. Goku put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry; it's in the past. Hey how about you come back with us, if you have no plans today. That way, we can get to know you a bit more." He suggested. Emily smiled.

"Sure, that'll be great, I'll have to call my mother but I'm sure it'll be fine." She replied getting up, Gohan smiled.

"We'll stay where we are so you'll know where to go okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'll be back in a moment." She said running off. Goku and Gohan headed back to the others, who were waiting for them expectantly.

"Well? What happened?" Chichi asked straight away.

"We have a niece Chi. She's coming back with us for a bit so we can get to know her. She's just telling her mother now." Goku replied.

"A niece? Oh Goku that's fantastic news!" Chichi cried, pulling her husband into a hug, Goku awkwardly patted her on the back.

"So she was telling the truth Goku." Bulma said.

"Yeah, she's Raditz's daughter alright." He replied.

"Great. Hey! If she wants to, she can come tonight also. If she's gonna start hanging around with us she might as well meet the others." She suggested.

"Thanks Bulma, I'll ask her later on." Goku said as Emily appeared into view.

"My mom said it's ok. I've got my key anyway in case she goes out." She explained as she stopped in front of them all, she was now carrying a small black backpack.

"Excellent! Well we've got to wait for this ceremony first then we can go." Chichi said.

"About time, hey Goten, you want to come back to ours?" Trunks asked, Goten nodded and turned to his parents expectedly.

"Yeah, can I?" He asked, they nodded.

"If it's alright with Bulma and Vegeta." Chichi said. Goten turned to them and as usual Vegeta scowled but Bulma nodded.

"Of course Goten, you know you're always welcome." She said.

Shortly afterwards the awards ceremony started, everyone cheering as Goku and Trunks walked up to collect their prizes. They left later and bordered a large plane.

"You guy's don't live far away do you?" Emily asked staring at it.

"Don't worry, I know a move called instant translocation so I'll take you home when you need to go." Goku replied smiling at her. She nodded then stepped into it and then; before she knew it they were in the air heading towards Mount Poataz.

AN2: Yay, finished finally. Well this is the last full chapter I lost and it's now back and running. Few thank goodness we have a PC in my house; I dunno what I'd do without it. Anyway, thanks for reading and please leave a review.
