"Saiyamo!" Tomakoto looked around frantically. His fist clenched and he gritted his teeth. "Where is that little brat…?" he grabbed the nearest passer by, frightening the life out of them, and snarled:
"Have you seen a small girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, furry tail?"
"N – No!" the man gasped. "Let me go!"
"Get lost!" Tomakoto released him and he fled off faster than anything. Tomakoto shook his head, and sighed. "Quit it…" he mumbled. He had to calm down! She was a kid, how far could she have gone? He tried to track down her ki to find her.
~~~~~
Saiyamo ran faster than she knew she could. She just had to get away from him! She didn't know what, but there was something about him that felt weird. What was he, anyway?
"Hey – somebody!" she panted. "Somebody hel – OW!" Saiyamo fell to the floor as she ran right into a man.
"Oh, man… YOU'RE saying ow?!" the man groaned, his hands on his trousers.
"Oh…" Saiyamo stood up. "Sorry mister, I was in a hurry."
"Ah… I guess you didn't mean it." He looked at her. "Are you okay? What's the rush?"
"I'm fine." Saiyamo smiled. "I'm just running away from someone."
"Let me guess, your mom or something?"
"No, a man. I don't know who he is."
"Uh… huh." The other said. "Well, I'm Goten anyway."
"My name's Saiyamo." She introduced herself.
"Saiyamo – what are you doing out in the city anyway? Don't you have parents?"
"Well… sure." Saiyamo replied. "My mommy's probably looking for me by now, and I came here to find my daddy." She looked at Goten. "Will you help me find him?"
"Couldn't hurt, I guess." Goten shrugged. "What's his name?"
"Trunks Briefs."
"Uh…"
Goten looked at her.
"… You sure?"
"Yes, my mommy told me so." Saiyamo answered.
"Well, it can't be the Trunks Briefs I'm thinking of, he doesn't have any kids, and you've gotta be about four or something, right?"
"I'm five." Saiyamo told him.
"Well you're definitely not his kid."
"My daddy is a prince." Saiyamo answered. "The prince of saiyans is my grandpa."
"Wait – what did you say?!" Goten's eyes widened.
"My grandpa. His name is Vegeta and he's the prince of saiyans."
Saiyamo told him. "My daddy's only part saiyan, like me. He's called Trunks Briefs and he lives at Capsule Corps, do you know where that is?"
"Uh… y – yeah…" Goten grabbed his hair. "But - - no way! Sorry but you CAN'T be right! Trunks Briefs has NO children! He doesn't even have a girlfriend!"
"My other grandpa is the prince of changelings." Saiyamo went on.
"His name is Frieza."
"FRIEZA?!" Goten jumped back, his eyes wider than ever. "Okay, now I KNOW you're kidding! Frieza's only child is Lavender, and Trunks hated Lav –"
"That's my mommy's name!" Saiyamo chirped. "So if you know her, do you know my daddy too?"
"NO! I – Listen – … Hmm…" Goten looked at her for a moment, and burst out laughing. "Aw, man! That's good!"
"Huh?" Saiyamo cocked her head.
"Wow, you really had me fooled! For a moment there I thought you really were Trunks' daughter!" Goten exclaimed. "Alright, so who set you up? Don't tell me – I bet this WAS Trunks! What is he, trying to freak me out?" he laughed. "Well you can tell your 'daddy' that I'm not falling for it. Go on, scram, kid! Go back to your parents, okay?"
"But I…" Saiyamo's eyes started to glisten. "I can't find them…"
"Huh…?"
"Everybody that knows my parents has been mean to me. Tomakoto wanted to do something bad… and now you're telling me to go away…" tears started to escape Saiyamo's eyes. "I just wanna find my daddy!" she burst into tears.
"Hey – don't do that!" Goten held up his hands. "Listen, I'll take you to Trunks, but I REALLY don't think he's your dad! Him and Lavender – they didn't get along."
"He IS my daddy!" Saiyamo yelled.
"Alright, alright! Just calm down and stop yelling, you're gonna draw people's attention."
"Will you take me to Capsule Corps?"
"… Yeah, okay." Goten sighed. "Come on, follow me…"
Goten, assuming Saiyamo couldn't fly, began to walk off.
"Can we fly?" Saiyamo asked, running to catch up with him.
"Huh?" Goten looked at her. "You can fly?"
"My mommy taught me." Saiyamo replied.
"Well… okay then. Let's do that." Goten was about to take off when a man suddenly came down from nowhere in front of them.
"Found you!" he snarled.
"Tomakoto!" Saiyamo gasped. She hid behind Goten. "Go away, I'm staying with Goten now?"
"Is that so?" Tomakoto asked. "Well, that's fine. I'll just take both of you."
"Who are you?!" Goten demanded.
"I'll tell you later." Tomakoto spat at Goten, and the young saiyan cried out as something hit his neck. "Hey –" he put his hand on his neck. "What did you do…?"
"Get to sleep!" Tomakoto snapped, and struck Goten.
"Hey – …" Goten stumbled a bit. He struggled to stay on his feet before he collapsed completely.
"Goten!" Saiyamo cried. She glared at Tomakoto. "What did you do to him?!"
"Don't worry, he is quite safe." Tomakoto assured her. "Now, come with me."
"No! Let go!" Saiyamo tried to pull away when he grabbed her arm.
"Do you want me to kill Goten now?" Tomakoto asked. "Is that what you want?"
"NO!"
"Then come with me."
"…" Saiyamo looked at Goten, and back at Tomakoto. "Don't hurt us…"
"Alright." Tomakoto smirked, and picked up the unconscious demi-saiyan.
