Okay, this chapter is short and in 3rd person POV. Short because it seemed right and 3rd person POV because it seemed right. Okay? Good. This chapter may also be a bit confusing, sorry about that, all will become clear later. Oh, and one more thing...I, sadly, don't own DBZ, do you have to rub it in? ::goes off and cries:: ##############################################
He sat up breathing heavily. What was that dream about? He had seen her...her and someone else. He had seen and felt her immense pain and had witnessed her death. What did it all mean? He sighed and laid back down as he realized it was similar to all the other dreams he had been having since her disappearance. It was no different and meant nothing...or so he thought until he felt a ki, no, two ki's suddenly shooting up out of no where. He sat up again. What was that? He got out of bed and pulled on his clothes as quickly as possible, which wasn't very quickly considering his hands were trembling. He stopped for a moment as the ki's suddenly died. He shook his head and resumed with greater speed. His hands were still trembling, however, so he decided to screw it and go in his boxers and t-shirt. Then he opened the window and flew in the direction that he had felt the ki's. He flew as fast as he could while still keeping his ki as low as possible. He watched the ground for anything suspicious. He slowed down and flew lower when he reached the area where the ki's should have been...a big empty field. He cursed silently while looking around as carefully as possible. He spotted a small, insignificant-looking house and decided to see if the owner had seen anything. He landed and knocked on the door. Nothing. He tried again, louder. Still nothing. He finally grew impatient and blew down the door. He rushed in too fast to notice that there was no floor and promptly fell to the rubble about seven feet below where the floor should have been.
"What the heck?" he practically shouted, all thoughts of stealth out the window. He couldn't feel the ki's anymore, she was gone, he had failed and it was all his stupid fault. He let himself collapse on the rubble and sobbed. It was useless, completely useless. He wasn't any help, nothing was. She was gone. He cried harder than he had ever done before. The tears kept coming as he kept thinking about her. Finally he had no more tears in him and he just lay there on the verge of sleep.
Suddenly he realized that he could sense something, a ki, under him. He sat up and started to remove the rocks under him. 'This is way too slow,' he thought and powered up not caring who or what knew he was there. As he was throwing the rocks out of the hole he realized that he was also throwing bones and skulls and...heads? He chose to ignore that. He finally found an arm... then a body attached to that arm...then a shirt on the body...then the head. He stopped for a moment to breath a sigh of relief then quickly continued digging until she was free. He then picked her up gently and flew at top speed. ************************************************************************
Vegeta was awake. He had been awake since the first burst of energy had shown up. He had stayed put, however, because he recognized the other ki and had decided to let him deal with. He sat up as he felt the ki near his house and quickly got dressed...without trembling fingers. He opened the window at the ki's approach and silently motioned the man downstairs. He went down as quickly as possible and took the unconscious girl from him arms. The man grabbed Vegeta's arm and looked him in the eyes.
"If anyone asks, I had no part whatsoever in her finding and bringing home." The man dared to squeeze harder on Vegeta's arm until Vegeta nodded.
"You have my word."
