Prelude
Blue Hair is Not Rare?

"What was that sound!" a voice called.

"I don't know, it sounded like a scream and a splash," another answered, seemingly bored.

"We should go check it out," the first said.

"Do what you want onna," was grumbled from the second. There was a frustrated sigh from the woman before she headed towards the pond in the middle of a secluded field near the white-washed house.

"Oh my God! VEGETA GET OVER HERE!" the woman yelled and her husband was at her side in a second.

Chapter 4 (Part 1)
Blue Hair is Not Rare?

"Put her on the couch, I'll get towels!" the tall woman with sky blue hair said and quickly went to go get something to sop up the extremely wet Botan who was unconscious.

While his wife went to get what was needed, the saiyan looked over the blue haired deity with mild interest. She looked remarkably like his wife, granted, how many people had blue hair? It was an oddity and he pondered over it just until his wife came bustling back in with towels.

"How did she get out there?" she muttered, her genius couldn't place it. Their house really wasn't exactly in a neighborhood, plus Vegeta would have at least sensed someone if they were coming, even if it was about five miles away.

"Argh…." Botan muttered in her half-asleep state. "Penny, I'm going to rip you to shrapnel," she muttered and then magenta eyes opened slowly. "Where am- HOLY CRAP!" she screamed and shot off the couch with speed known only to the frightened. She backed up all the way to the wall, not knowing where to go. "Where am I? Who are you? What are you- Why am I wet! Oh, wait," she stopped freaking and thought for a moment. "Falling……Into water…. Surprised…. Drowning," she muttered under her breath.

'This onna talks almost as much as Bulma," Vegeta thought.

"Oh, you must've saved me!" Botan's attitude totally changed into that of thankfulness. "Thank you very much," she said and bowed to them. She took that time to survey her outfit.

The deity wore shorts again, but these were red. She wore a red tank top covered by a white short-sleeved cover that tied at the front. Dark green boots with black laces were laced up to just below her knees. Her hair was in the same pony-tail. ((AN- I love do Botan's outfits))

"Um, no problem," Bulma broke the silence with a cheerful smile. "But, uh, how did you get out there?" she asked. Botan seemed to turn a bit pale.

"I-I Uh, walked…?" she seemed very unsure of the answer. She then noticed her hair was still dripping. She snatched her scrunchy and ripped it out of her hair. "I, um, would it be too much to ask if I could use your bathroom?" the deity asked.

"Oh sure!" Bulma said as she realized the girl was still drenched. She gave her two towels and directed her to the bathroom. "Do you have other clothes?" she asked.

'I got it covered. You bag is outside the door,' Penny chimed in after a long absence.

'Where have you been!' Botan mentally screamed at the pendant. If Penny could wince she would have.

'I got water-logged!' Penny said in her defense.

"I have a bag, I believe it's outside," she said, trying not to sound suspicious. Bulma blinked and went to look outside the door. There sat a duffle bag. She brought it in and gave it to the girl.

Botan thanked her and closed the door. Bulma knew the bag wasn't there before. Maybe Vegeta had brought it. She shrugged it off and waited for the girl to finish.

The ferry girl pulled out a new outfit and dried, putting it on. It was much like her other one, just blue jean shorts and dark red tank top with a white cover. She stepped out of the bathroom and was thankful that she was dry.

"Thank you very much, that helped a lot," Botan said, tying her hair in a braid. She had noticed Bulma's blue hair and wondered if she had ever gotten the same comments about it being real or not.

"No problem, but I have to ask, what were you doing out here? This place really isn't visited by people," Bulma said, scrutinizing the girl.

'Partly because of Vegeta,' she mentally added.

"I got lost," Botan said, thinking up a story quickly.

"Got lost?" Vegeta asked, from his position, leaning against the wall. He seemed to be giving a very skeptical look.

'Where have I seen that look before?' Botan asked herself and then it clicked. She covered her mouth with her hand and tried not to giggle, but it didn't last before she burst out laughing and clutched her stomach in hysteria. Meanwhile, the two hosts were baffled as to why she was nearly falling over with laughter.

"Onna, why is she laughing?" Vegeta interjected. This only stared at Botan again.

'Oh man, if Hiei was here!' she mentally yelled and tried to control herself.

"I-I'm sorry, it's just that, you (giggle) act almost exactly (snort) and almost look like a (chuckle) friend of mine back home," Botan managed out. The death glare the saiyan sent the girl almost set her off again.

"How is that funny?" Vegeta asked crossly.

"Vegeta, calm down," Bulma told him sternly. He growled and turned and left through the front door. Botan calmed instantly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset him," the deity said apologetically.

"Don't worry, he's always moody when he is laughed at or doesn't get his way," the older blue-haired woman said and waved it away.

"Always?" Botan asked, surprised.

"Yeah," Bulma answered.

"I thought he was just in a bad mood," Botan commented and looked around.

"Come on, you want some tea or something?" the hostess asked Botan. Botan's face brightened and she nodded happily.


-An Hour Later-

"Always fighting and up for a challenge?" Bulma asked, a grin on her face.

"Yeah, he is always looking for a fight or a place to sleep!" Botan exclaimed.

"You were right! This guy sounds almost exactly like my husband," the inventor said and poured more tea. "We should've gotten together earlier!"

"And he hates when people mention his shortness, even when he knows it's there," Botan laughed and smiled brightly.

"I can understand that part about Vegeta too," Bulma giggled. She then got a sly look. "So, tell me, do you like this Hiei?" Botan almost spat out the tea she was trying to swallow. Her cheeks turned a rosy color and Bulma's grin widened.

"Um, pardon?" the deity asked for clarification.

"Well, the way you talk about him, you two seem very close, almost like Vegeta and me, though, we're married," Bulma mentioned. The shorter blunette was trying to control the coloration of her cheeks and cleaned for face of the tea. This was embarrassing. Was she implying that Botan liked Hiei that way? How could anyone that strong and independent (and not to mention cold) ever find her attractive that way?

'I'll ponder later, but that's a strange concept,' Botan thought and nodded at her decision. At that moment Vegeta walked in.

"You are not from around here at all, correct?" he questioned Botan. She blinked and nodded meekly. "Then how did you fall from the sky?"

"H-how!" she asked very surprised.

"There's no trail towards the pond, the splash came from the center of the pond (I highly doubt you can jump that far), and it doesn't look like you can fly (or well anyways)," he explained as he scowled slightly at her. Botan felt like a child that had done something wrong.

"Vegeta, you are making her sound like a fallen angel," Bulma scoffed and she rolled her eyes at the evil glare she got.

'You don't know how close you are, Bulma,' Botan thought.

"Wait, people can fly here!" Botan asked suddenly.

"Only saiyans, but yes," the wife said as she cleaned up from tea.

"Saiyans?" Botan asked, curiously. They both stared like she had three heads.

"You don't know what they are?" Bulma asked. Botan shook her head innocently, a little confused. Was she supposed to know?

"You really aren't from around here at all," the blue-haired genius said and sat down. "We'll tell you, good thing you're sitting," she mentioned


-Half an Hour later-

Botan sat, very interested, but not surprised in the least. The other two was curious as to why she wasn't surprised.

"That's believable," was all the deity said as the story was finished. They gaped at her and she smiled. "I've dealt with these kinds of things before," she told them.

"Like what?" Bulma asked.

"Um, if we go outside, I can show you," Botan said and gave a nervous laugh. The three moved outside and Botan took about ten steps away from them. With a flick of her wrist her oar appeared and she grasped it tightly. Jumping on lightly she hovered for a few seconds, observing their curious or surprised face before she rose up and executed a few figure-eights and then landed again.

"What are you?" Vegeta asked bluntly when she was steady and on solid ground.

"Death," she answered and laughed at their surprised faces. "Well, I'm technically just a Ferry-girl for the dead souls of the world…. Well, my world," she said and then put a finger to her chin. "Actually, I believe your dimension has a completely different death system than mine," Botan said as if mulling over it. "But, I'm on vacation."

"You are a strange onna," Vegeta said. Botan ignored the comment.

"Unfortunately all I can really do is fly and open specific portals," she mentioned forlornly. Bulma's features brightened.

"Hey, in exchange for telling me how you travel dimensions Vegeta can teach you how to fight!" Bulma exclaimed.

"What!" Botan and Vegeta blurted out at the same time.

"You'd really do that?" Botan said happily.

"No," Vegeta answered swiftly.

"Oh, don't be such a cranky jerk. Teach her how to fight or I'll stop fixing the gravitation machine every time you break it," she threatened dangerously.

'Damn she always knows what to hold over my head!' he thought darkly and proudly at the same time. "Fine, but if she can't keep up, I'm done teaching her," he consented moodily.

"I can only stay up to a week, is that enough time?" Botan asked meekly. Vegeta looked her over.

"That's just more of a challenge and I'll take it on," he said and then walked inside.

Bulma looked to Botan and they both had the same expression, before they burst out laughing.


Authoress: Please don't review and correct me on the DBZ series. I don't watch it much at all, so I'm not that good at explaining where they each live, or what body of water they live near. Botan needed a pond, so I made a pond!

READ AND REVIEW AND SO FAR IT'S HIEI/BOTAN. By probably the fifth dimension I'll take last votes.
