Chapter 8 - Hitokiri

Vejiita was in an unfamiliar place. He had walked there for no apperant reason. He was sitting behind a shelf in a storage room, possibly in a store, but he wasn't sure. Vejiita saw another man enter, and leave through the front door. Vejiita walked out through the back, walked behind two more buildings quickly while drawing the sword at his belt, and walked out in front of the man.

"Toshimichi Okubo. Failed to kill you... one time. Succeeded... one time."

"What?!" Okubo stared upon this boy that said he would kill him. He'd had only one assasination attempt, and Hitokiri Battosai had saved him. But this boy was saying he had also tried, and was going to try again! "What the hell is going on?!" He thought in his head. Vejiita looked up.

"N-No!" Okubo studdered out. He began to run as fast as his legs would take him, but to no avail. Vejiita ran faster and caught up with him.

"Gatotsu stance one!"

Blood splattered on the walls of the stores which were nearby.

Vejiita was in the alleyway of Silph Co, using a device hooked up to his ear to listen in on the eleventh floor.

"The girl was getting on my nerves, and everyone's. But she was weak. Very weak." Vejiita listened to Giovanni and the rest talk of him this way. How dare they! Perhaps they would know what he felt inside of him turned upon them. But not yet. He flew to the ground and walked away.

LATER...

"Please, I beg of you, don't! I will give you everything! Power! Glory! Fame! Anything you ask, just let me live!"

"You were the one who was laughing when Giovanni spoke of my death."

"What?! You are alive! You are not dead!"

"You lie. My soul is alive though my body is not."

"Body- what- you... you mean the part american girl we just killed. She was a threat to all, and we put her down! For the sake of the country."

Vejiita slammed him into a wall, holding him there with his right arm up against his neck. "For the sake of saving your own asses, yes. For the sake of the country, no. You bathe in all those things you offered me. But that is not what I want."

"A-anything! Just name your price!"

Vejiita held the sword up to the man's neck. "Give me... my body back."

The man's head fell to the floor with a soft thud. Vejiita took a rag from his pocket and cleaned the sword.

"Giovanni. The time has come."

Chapter 9 - The Meeting

"Hahahahaha..." Giovanni softly laughed. "Do you know how many times I've heard that?"

"This will be the last." He teleported behind Giovanni. "I promise that, murderer."

Giovanni gasped and looked at Vejiita, before Vejiita pulled him to a wall and pinned him there. He had only gotten a fleeting glimpse of his eyes, but it was enough. "You... you... hahahahaha..." Vejiita plunged the sword at Giovanni's heart, but stopped. His watch was beeping. It was time. Vejiita sighed.

"I'm sorry... but I will have to cut this short." He teleported away. He was in a building, one of Team Rocket's buildings. Grey Wolf's body lay there. He walked over to her right side, and seeing a needle inside her wrist, took it out, knowing it'd be harder when in a body weakened so much. He fell over. Grey Wolf sat up.

"For lending me your body... thank you. But I more prefer mine." She smiled at him. Grey Wolf got up, picked Vejiita up, and started for the exit.

"Hey! You're-" Grey Wolf blasted the guards quickly, continuing to walk and paying little attention to them. She flew to Saito's house, where she knew he'd be.

"I'm alive, you know." Saito spun around. Grey Wolf had teleported in.

"Grey Wolf! You're alive- What the hell happened to him?" Vejiita's mouth had started to leak blood.

"Oh... my soul needed somewhere to go, so I improvised... when I saw him turn super saiyan, I knew he'd be the most suited. Besides, no girls I knew were around, and I don't steal strangers' bodies. It was a near-death illusion. I sent the needle into my hand. The guy stopped quickly because he thought I was already dead."

"So that wasn't you turning super saiyan?! Jesus, more surprizes everyday..."

"Yeah... he seems to really care about me... enough to go from half to full super saiyan..." Grey Wolf said, with a tone of regret in her voice.

"What?" Saito said, sensing the regret.

"I... I care about someone else. But I see him like this... It gets me thinking."

"Oh? Who would this 'someone else' be?"

"No one of your concern, father, that's who."

"Oh well. Like I care. Kids these days..."

"I'm a teenager! ThirTEEN!!! TEENAGER I TELL YOU!!! Arrrgh..."

"A little kid more like it." Grey Wolf picked up a bottle cap on the ground and through it at Saito's head. It hit him, and he caught it.

"A girl Sanosuke, I swear..."

"WHAT?! Grr. Fine, leave me to take care of Vejiita!"

"Ok, if you say so..." Saito closed the door to his room.

"#&$..."

Chapter 10 - A Friend Returns

"It's all planned out. We go in, slay Giovanni, go out." Saito said. "Himura, you lead in, Vejiita, block his escape."

"Yessir!" Grey Wolf and Vejiita said in unison. Grey Wolf teleported to the hallway leading into Giovanni's room, Vejiita waiting outside the window should he try that method of escape. Saito gave the signal, and they both broke in. A flurry of bullets and swords met them. "Shit!" Grey Wolf yelled. "They knew we were coming!"

"No, they just happened to have all these people with their guns and swords here. REALLY GREY WOLF???" Vejiita yelled. A cry brought them both back to their senses.

"Saito!" The thought flashed quickly in their heads, just as quickly they teleported down, into a bush. Saito was pinned against a wall, but did not seem injured. A man with a cape, a sword and a hood was shushing him.

"Listen, they know about the ambush. I have people working inside Team Rocket, spies." The man let Saito go.

"Crap! I already sent Grey Wolf and Vejiita! Now what?!" Saito whispered.

"Now we appear, unharmed. Who the hell are you?" Vejiita said as he and Grey Wolf walked out. She froze.

"The ki signature... it's unmistakable... Ghost?" Grey Wolf whispered in awe.

The man removed his hood. "The one and only."

"You-you-you're dead!" Grey Wolf yelled, while Vejiita pondered. Who was this guy? He remembered the dream she'd had while they were still on the saiyan planet a few years ago. Was this the one she had been reffering to?

"Yeah, and you are too."

"True." Grey Wolf laughed, but quickly stopped. "Why didn't you come back?"

"I would've if I could. But if I had shown up with you, not only would I have put you both in danger, but also I'd have exposed my location."

"Oh... ok." She walked up to him and hugged him. Vejiita finally figured it out. But it was strange. If that was her brother, Kenshin had him when he was three or so! Vejiita walked up carefully to the only person able to pin Saito against a wall as far as he knew.

"Umm... Mr... person... sir... are you Grey Wolf's brother? Just a guess."

"Technically, no."

"Ohh. Ok. Then what?"

"I'm her cousin. But I consider her a sister." He grabbed her around the neck and started ruffling her hair. "Isn't that right?"

"Ack! Nonononono!!! DAME!!! DAME!!! CEISE!!! DESIST!!! ARRRGH!!! DAME!!! DAAAAAAAMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Dang it." She said, trying to pull her brother off. If Vejiita opened his mouth to ask Ghost's age and real name, which he doubted was Ghost, he didn't doubt that blood would be coming from his mouth from his extreme attempt at holding back his laughter by biting his tongue.

"So, how old are you, boy?" Ghost asked. "I'm 25 right now."

"I'm 13 right now... and it's Vejiita, if you don't mind."

"Right... wait! You... you're the prince of saiyans?! Damn, I feel sorry for you, Grey Wolf! Hahaha!"

"Grr!" Vejiita did what sounded exactly like a growl If I've ever heard one(which I have).

"I know, right, Ghost? Heh, I'm just kidding."

"Thank you, Grey Wolf!"

"I don't even have to marry him!"
