Hi again. Here is the other chapter. I warn you this one is more of a romantic one. Fights will begin soon. :-). Well, enough said. Let's go on with story.
I don't own DBZ
Chapter Two
"Me." She states seriously. Jobedd is about to say something but Tony signals him not to interfere.
"My life in exchange for the Z fighters, my friends and my world. You tell him that I can create a whole new world for him to rule, myself included." She adds. Jeize and Nappa nods and leave. Jobedd walks to her, his face full of concern.
"What are you doing, Kasaan?" He asks.
"I know what I am doing Jobedd, I will not stand that my world, my friends and . . ." Jobey saw hurt in her eyes, ". . . the person I love be destroyed, not if I can do something about it."
She starts walking away and Gohan's soft voice stops her, "Yamie-san?"
"Gohan, you can call me whatever you want." She smiles softly.
"You know you are the closest thing to a mother I had. I am worried about you, I know you might think my father doesn't care for you. But, please, don't let appearances fool you. He loves you deeply and so do I, Irya-mama" He finishes. Yamie walks to him and gives him a hug. Jobedd takes advantage and grabbing Tony tries out his powers, teleporting back to the house.
Back at Zabick's spaceship, he is punishing Freeza for his mistake.
"Fool! I told you not to cause a commotion. Now, not only the brat has fuse with Gohan, but that filthy saijan is here as well." He throws a blast at him, "Now he can claim her in the real world as well. And if that happens, Freeza, I will have your head. No get out of my sight. Both of you."He says angrily. Freeza and Cell bow and disappears.
Jeize and Nappa arrive and informed him of Yamie's request. Zabick smirks, knowing that this only meant that Yamie doesn't understand what is happening and that she doesn't have a clue that along with Gokou, and the other earthling; she could stop him. Now with Thomas in his hands, his approach toward her will be easily.
Jenny and Sonya greet Yamie at the door, Jenny asks, "What's up, girl?"
Yamara could see the surprise in her friends' eyes, "Do I look THAT different?"
"Yes and no. It's just so new to us. But make no mistake, girl. You look fine with capital "F", I assure you." Says Jenny causing Yamie to smile, "You got us worried, girl, all of us, dissappearing like that. Are you ok?"
Yamie turns around hiding her face from her friends.
"You don't have to hide from us, we know you better than that; remember?" says Jenny. "And I know it's not like me to say that but he was really worried about you."
"Who?" Asks Yamie softly.
"Son Gokou" Answers Sonya. Yamie makes a face and Jenny says, "Oh come on, don't make that face. You should give him a chance, you know, he really looked worried for you."
"I don't know . . . it just seems as . . ." Starts Yamie only to be interrupted by Jenny.
"Do not make any decisions now, just let time tell. We'll see ya later" Says Jenovy while leaving with Sonya. Vegeta has been watching them, he is intrigued by the blond human girl. His attention goes back to the one that, for some reason, has Kaly's ki.
"You don't have to be so far, Vegeta-sama. What would you like to ask of me?" Asks Yamie softly.
"I should've known you would sense me . . ." He didn't know how to call her. Yamie turns and looks at him with loving eyes, those gray eyes that haunt him so long after she disappeared. " How can you be? You are so different here."
"I don't have all the answers... Veggie-chan. I don't understand myself what is going on. Don't feel sad, my prince." Yamie touches his face softly, "It's unbelievable that under that tough appearance hides such a gentle heart."
"Watch it, onna. I don't appreciate..."Yamie puts a finger on his lips silencing him.
"I know, I know. You are Vegeta, mighty prince of all saijans. I remember. I see that one of my friends picked up your interest. She is not easy, and will be quite a challenge."She says softly.
Vegeta smirks, "Arigato, Ka. . . Yamie. I have missed you." With that he leaves.
Yamie feels strange, but she knows what she must do. She calls Dende to ask him a few things.
"Dende, there is something that I don't understand. How come I was the cause of this mess?" She says sadly.
Dende smiles softly and says, "Iee, Yamie, your desire to be with the one that complements you did it along with his desire. You were both longing for each other. You see, for you, Irya and Gokou was something you come up with; while in our world it actually happened."
"You said I could do anything except control his actions and prevent death, can I transfer, let's say Korri's powers to one of the girls?"She asks seriously.
"You will be able to do that when you come to terms with yourself and accept who you really are. Meanwhile, I would suggest you try to control your powers."He replies calmly. Yamie nods letting the information sink into her. They spend the afternoon together chatting lightly. Before dinner, Tony arrives from scouting with Piccolo and sees them.
"Hello, Koi" Says Tony softly. Dende looks at him seriously and asks, "Why do you call her that?"
Yamie giggles at Dende's reaction. She along with Tony explains to Dende why they call each other koi and itoushi; letting him know that it was a game between them.
"I apologize for my rudeness, it's been a while since I last saw her and I tend to be overprotective with her." Says Dende shyly.
"That's OK. I am the same way, we all are. She is a very special friend to all of us." Replies Tony . They continue chatting.
Outside, Jobey scares Sonya.
"Don't do that, silly." She says, "You look so different, Jobedd"
"Does it bother you? Does it change what you feel toward me?" He asks softly.
"No. I love you. There is nothing in this world that could change that." She answers lovingly, "I can't deny I am a bit scared."
"You have nothing to worry. I love you, Koishii; and I won't let anything happen to you." He answers softly hugging her. Sonya notices Gokou coming toward them and pulls away gently.
"Gokou is coming, I'll see you later, love." She whispers while leaving. Jobedd senses Gokou behind him and smiles, he knows this moment would come.
"You look different here, son." He says softly, "I was so worried about you."
Jobedd smiles at Gokou, "That is not why you are here now, father? What is bothering you?"
"You know me too well." Says Gokou, "And yes, you are right. That is not why I am here. You see..."
"Dad, Yamie is very sensitive, and she has gone through a lot. What you see is what Irya really is. Just talk to her." Says Jobedd softly.
"I don't know what to say to her. She is so mad at me, I can feel her anger and confusion." Replies Gokou, looking away, "Besides, she has completely block me out. I sense that there is something bothering her. She only opens up to the guy, I suppose, is your brother."
Putting his hand on his shoulder Jobedd replies,"That never stopped you before. Why now? Come on, don't tell me you are gonna let a simple misunderstanding separate you and give that advantage to Zabick. You know that you can't protect her like that."
"You are right, son. Arigato. I'll talk to her tonight." With that Gokou flies away. Sonya approaches Jobedd and whispers, "Is he alright?"
Jobedd nods, "They will be fine as soon as they talk."
"You think Yamie will listen or give him the chance?" She asks knowingly.
"Hai. I know kaasan. She may be stubborn, but she always give everybody a chance. We just have to wait and see what happens." Answers Jobedd. They kiss lovingly only to be disturbed by Jenovy's shouts. They smiled at the sight of Jenovy and Vegeta. Vegeta has been annoying Jenovy, only to be given a taste of his own medicine.
"I believe Vegeta likes Jenny." States Jobedd amused.
"Yes, I believe so too. And I think it's mutual." Replies Sonya smiling.
Gokou has maintain his distance from Yamie, but watches her constantly. The bond between them is very strong and he could sense her sadness. They all have dinner and later on they go to rest. Just as Yamie is walking out of the kitchen, Piccolo greets her.
"Hello, my princess. I've missed you." He says softly.
"Nail . . . Piccolo-sensei." She smiles and hugs him. Piccolo learned to be affectionate with Irya. And even though Yamie's physical appearance is different, he can sense Irya's aura in her.
"I can sense you are troubled, may I be of assitance, Hime-chan?" Piccolo inquires.
"Iee, my friend. I will go out for a while, and meditate." She answers, Piccolo nods respectfully and leaves her. Yamie watches him go into the room he shares with Dende, her problems come back as soon as Piccolo is out of sight. She is still thinking about her two friends and transferring two of her characters into them. She is worried by their safety. She decides to fly away to a nearby clearing. She needs to be alone. Alone? She isn't so sure anymore.
She raises her ki, and starts to concentrate. She could feel the energy and power flowing through her. She powers down and sighs frustrated. The night is cold and she hugs herself trying to keep her heat, a pair of loving eyes are watching her. Looking at the stars her powers kick in and she senses Gokou.
"Haven't anybody told you that spying is a bad habit?" She asks him, seeing that he doesn't answer she continues, "Come on out, I know you've been watching me."
He comes out of the shadows slowly, the sight of him iluminated by the moonlight is breathtaking. She turns her eyes away, so he wouldn't see how much she misses him. What they don't know is that Zabick is watching them. He gives intructions to bring their prisoner. They bring Thomas to him and he smirks evilly. Suddenly, Zabick transforms into a shadow and goes into Thomas, poisoning his soul with his presence until Thomas is no more. Zabick smirks in his new body. Things won't be so easy for Son Gokou now.
Gokou and Yamie stay silent dor a while, until Gokou summon the courage to speak.
"Hello, Yamie-san." He asks softly, not knowing what to say. He rubs the back of his head nervously.
"What do you want?" She asks without looking at him. Her coldness hurts him. Gokou doesn't want to loose her again, not without trying to win her back.
"Gomen, for upsetting you. I just came to apologize." He replies softly.
"Apologize?" She asks, Gokou nods respectfully, "You don't have to. Everybody is entitled to his or her own perception."
"But you are misunderstanding again, what I am trying to say." She is about to protest when he says quickly, "Iee, onegai just hear me out. I am really honored to have finally meet you. Tell me, what did you feel the first time you saw me? When you realized it was me in front of you?" Asks the noble Saijan.
"Why should I answer that?" She replies lifting her head proudly, as her disappointment took the better of her. A reaction well-known by Gokou. He smirks knowingly.
"Why shouldn't you?" He says teasingly, "Unless you are afraid to tell me?" She narrows her eyes angrily and turns to look at him. A mistake she realizes a little too late.
"I am not afraid of you." She replies, "How dare you imply something like that?" Gokou takes advantage and steps forward. He is now towering her, their faces really close.
"Then, answer my question, Butterfly." The mention of her pet name breaks down her defenses. She looks away from him, tears filling her eyes.
"It was overwhelming and I fainted." She says softly.
"You fainted. Well, Butterfly, I had an internal fight. You see, I don't know if your feelings for me here are the same. All I know is that my feelings for you are too strong to control. The thought of Cell hurting you made me want to rip him apart limb by limb. But when the transformation took place, all memories of us together rush into my mind, my desire was, IS, to take you in my arms and remind you and myself that you belong to me, and I to you. But I was afraid that you didn't want me. You have your friend here, and so I needed to be alone to think and control my emotions." He sighs as he doesn't see any reaction from her, "Listen, Tenshi. I am really stupid and dumb sometimes, ChiChi used to tell me so, and I probably did something really bad to hurt your feelings this much. You have my heart, my love and my loyalty. Whatever happens I will protect you, no matter what." He finishes. Yamie is crying softly, he is turning to leave when out of nowhere a ki blast hits him fully.
The dark energy makes him scream in pain. "Ah!"
"Gokou!" Screams Yamie. Another Ki blast flies steadily at her. "NOO!" Her ki vaporizes the attack. "I know it's you, Joy Come out where I can see you." Says Yamie. She sends a protective barrier at Gokou, which begins to heal him.
"Very well, princess. You still remember me." Says Joy, "Just a little hello from me and Zabick." With that she vanishes. Yamie scans the area making sure they are alone. She walks to him and asks, "Are you ok?"
Gokou looks at her and nods, thinking that their conversation is over he starts to walk away. "Matte, Gokou." She says softly. "Look, this isn't easy for me either."
Gokou stops, hope rising in his heart. He hears as her steps stop behind him.
"First, don't ever call yourself stupid or dumb in front of me, because you are not. If you do it again, I'll make sure you'll be sorry." Gokou smirks, she continues, " Ku-chan, I never meant to be rude. If you are refering to Tony, he is my friend, like a brother to me. I have someone in this realm, Thomas, but left my heart a long time ago, I don't even know why I haven't left him yet. I was, am scared that you didn't want me, I thought you were disappointed." She encircles her arms around his waist, "Gomen-nasai, I don't want you away."
Gokou turns around and hugs her back. He feels her tears soaking his Gi.
"Don't cry, Butterfly. You are perfect, just the way you are." Gokou lifts her chin and wipes her tears away. She could feel his heartbeat. He kisses her forehead and holds her, a golden aura surrounds them, awakening their telepatic bond. Dende senses this and smiles knowingly.
"All is in place now. Zabick, you will regret your actions." Whispers the young Namekian falling asleep.
TBC.
