Chapter Four: Suspicions

They got to the hospital within a few minutes and quickly ran inside only to find Videl, Chichi, Bulma, Krillin, and Android 18 waiting for them in the waiting room.

"Where's Jaz?!" Pan practically shouted as Trunks desperately tried to calm her down before she blasted something.

"She's resting right now. Dr. Homare said that she'll be fine but that she had a few broken ribs and that her arm was broken pretty badly." Krillin replied sadly.

Pan sighed in relief that her daughter would be fine but nearly burst into tears over her other injuries and she instantly fell into Trunks' embrace. Trunks pulled her close as he struggled to hold back his own tears. The others looked at the 2 with sympathy; they all felt the pain that the couple was going through. Just then Yamako walked in with a somewhat worried expression on her face. They all turned and looked at her. Pan desperately tried to form the words to explain things to her, trying to answer her silent demand to know what was going on. However she didn't have to tell her because Yamako read the expressions of everyone in the room and instantly knew what was wrong.

"What happened to my sister?" Yamako asked with an almost expressionless face.

Trunks and Pan weren't at all surprised that Yamako knew that it involved Jasumin. She had always been really good at reading people's expressions. Especially when it came to her family.

"She was attacked by this evil monster named Bakemono. She's alive but she was hurt pretty badly." Videl said softly.

Yamako growled slightly and narrowed her eyes. Had she been a little less like Vegeta she would have been struggling to hold back tears. But all she did was walk over to wall and lean up against it; closing her eyes she crossed her arms over her chest and raised her right foot up onto the wall as she tried to figure things out. Trunks and Pan sighed. They wondered if they would ever break through that emotionless Saiyan exterior of hers.

Yamako knew that they were thinking this but didn't care. She dealt with things in her own way and showing her parents that she actually had emotions wasn't her biggest priority right now. She had always dealt with things in this way. At first it was because she didn't really have a close friend that understood her. Now it was out of force of habit. She had lived her whole life hiding the majority of her emotions and dealing with them on her own, sometimes channeling them into training harder or into studying when she was forced to do so, which was almost never since she never listened to anyone anyway. But most of the time she used it to fuel her powers, both physical and mental. She had discovered when she was 16 that she had psychic abilities. She could sense emotions and speak telepathically to anyone or anything. Soon after she discovered that she could also move things with her mind and later learned she could even read and control people's minds. She spent many long hours learning how to control these new abilities and had finally mastered them a few months ago. But she found that the more emotions she hid the stronger she became and the more control she had over her powers. However, there was a down side to this increase of strength. The more emotions she hid and the stronger she became the more powerful her dreams became; more and more visions filled her dreams. The more experienced she became with her abilities the harder it was to ignore the dreams.

Deciding that the dreams had something to do with her new abilities she decided to channel her emotions into figuring out exactly what they meant. Despite putting all this effort into figuring out her dreams the intensity of them continued to grow and that caused an increasingly greater strain on her mental state. It made her more aggressive and less tolerant than she was growing up, causing her personality to more closely resemble Vegeta's personality; especially over the last year. That was when the effects of her psychic abilities caused her to see the things that made Vegeta the way he was. A month or so after coming back from the other timeline her psychic powers advanced from simple telepathy (sensing emotions) to actually being able to read people's minds. However, she couldn't control this at first and would read the mind of whoever was near her without being able to shut out a single thought. This resulted in her learning everything about Vegeta's past while training with him 1 day. Seeing everything Vegeta experienced caused her to adapt many of his personality traits; much to the dismay of her family. They didn't understand why she suddenly began acting so much like Vegeta and it greatly worried them for several months as they questioned Yamako on the matter and if something had happened to her to cause the change in her personality. Kumori and Piccolo were the only ones to understand the reason behind the change. Eventually everyone seemed to accept the new Yamako and stopped pestering her on it; much to Yamako's relief.

Just then Bra, Camoren, and Kasaiko arrived followed closely by Marron. Bra ran over and hugged her brother and best friend. She told them how sorry she was and that they came as soon as they could. Trunks smiled at his baby sister and told them it was ok. Kasaiko asked her uncle about how Jasumin was and if she could see her. Trunks was just about to answer when Dr. Homare came into the room.

"Your daughter is very lucky. Her injuries are less severe than we originally thought. We managed to realign her ribs without the use of surgery and her arm was only broken in 2 places and not misaligned or pinching any nerves. From the look of her I'd say that her injuries could've been a lot worse."

Trunks and Pan sighed in relief and Yamako mentally smiled. Her sister was tougher than she looked partly because she was born a Super Saiyan just like her and that she had been training since she was 4; although that was nothing compared to Yamako, who had been training since she was 2½ years old. When you go Super Saiyan and blow up half the house with your grandfather's Big Bang Attack when you're 3 months old you have no choice but to learn how to control your power. Yamako had progressed faster than any other Saiyan. By the time she was 3 she was already training at 300 times gravity and was as strong as Goku had been against Freeza.

Yamako saw her parents heading down the hall to her sister's room and began to follow them when she noticed Kumori standing off in the corner. Smiling she walked over to him.

"Hey Kumori." she said lightly, giving him a quick and gentle nudge when no 1 was looking.

"Hey Yamako. Sorry about your sister." he smiled back.

Yamako nodded slightly. Kumori was about the only person she actually showed true unprotected emotion to. She sighed and briefly let a sorrowful expression cross her face. She shook her head and then saw the bag of senzu beans strapped to Kumori's belt. Quickly grabbing them she took a small bean out and giving a smile she handed the bag back to Kumori before she went to find her sister. Kumori smiled back slightly; he had forgotten about the senzu beans and apparently everyone else had too. It was just like Yamako to notice the obvious and come up with a plan. Smirking slightly he followed her down the hall.

Yamako entered the room that her sister was resting in and found her mother and father swarming around her like she was a helpless baby. Heck she had never been helpless and it disgusted her slightly seeing her parents treating her like she was a little kid, much the same way they had treated her when she was younger, still did sometimes. Rolling her eyes she leaned against the wall by the door. She watched her family hover over her sister with disgust. Finally she had had enough of their over protectiveness.

"Oh for sanity's sake!" she groaned. "She's not made of glass you know! She is a Super Saiyan after all! Would you stop fussing over her like she's a fragile China doll?!" Yamako growled.

Everyone in the room turned and looked at her with disapproval. Yamako simply rolled her eyes and walked towards her little sister. She gave her great-grandmother Chichi a death glare when she attempted to start lecturing her. When she got to her sister's side she held out the senzu bean.

"Here you go Brat." Yamako stated in a voice that rivaled Vegeta's.

Jasumin smiled. "Thanks Yamako!"

Yamako grunted and nodded slightly before turning around and heading for the door. Not even bothering to glance at anyone she walked out of the room and headed outside. Trunks and Pan watched her go and sighed. Yamako would never change. However their attention soon turned back to Jasumin as she leaped to her feet and began unwrapping the bandages. After very carefully explaining things to the doctors (with Dr. Homare's help) the group left. Goku teleported Chichi, Videl, Marron, Goten, and the boys home where Jaketsu and Kurige immediately got lectured about going to the fight by their parents and grandparents. Camoren and Bra went with Trunks, Pan, Vegeta, and Bulma back to Capsule Corp. so Jasumin and Kasaiko could play. Krillin and Android 18 quickly flew home and Kumori simply went back to his apartment to change before once again heading to work.

SCENE CHANGE

Yamako walked out and looked at the sky. She thought about asking Dende what was going on. Before she had felt this sense of approaching doom but she had waved it off as just being Bakemono. However, now she wasn't so sure. That feeling was still there and from what she had gathered from her father's thoughts Bakemono had called himself "General" which meant that he was probably a lackey for some higher power. She knew that something else was coming but she didn't know what or when and she was hoping that Dende would. Yamako could have contacted him telepathically easily enough but she didn't feel like it. Besides maybe Piccolo would be up for a mental spar. She hadn't had 1 in a good while and she figured that all her abilities should be at their prime. Nodding she went Super Saiyan and rocketed off to the Lookout just as her family came out of the hospital. Her family watched her go but decided not to say anything. Yamako wouldn't have listened anyway and she was technically an adult. There was no point in asking her about where she was going. Shrugging they rocketed off home for relaxation. Yamako reaches the Lookout in a matter of minutes and quickly looks around.

"Dende! Hey where are you?" she shouts.

Soon Dende and Mr. Popo emerge from the building and head towards Yamako. The 2 smile until they see the serious look on Yamako's face, more so than usual. Knowing full well that despite Jasumin getting hurt Yamako wouldn't be this upset over just that. There was something else on the young Saiyan's mind, Dende was sure of it, for he felt something approaching as well.

"Hello Yamako. Good to see you. I'm glad your sister is all right. How are Trunks and Pan taking it?" Dende asked.

Yamako shrugged. "They're doing ok I guess. I think it's the shock more than anything that affected them."

Dende nodded. "Well Yamako what's on your mind? You look distressed."

Yamako mentally growled at Dende saying she was 'distressed'; it was like he was saying she was afraid (a sign of weakness in her mind). But she knew that she was restless and it was the fact that Dende saw through her mask that made her displeased. Sighing she decided to let it slide. After all he was the Guardian of the Earth and he could read minds almost as well as she could, she probably didn't show her uneasiness, he just sensed it from her thoughts; she'd have to find a way to counter that. She didn't want anyone to be able to read her mind without her permission. Crossing her arms over her chest she decided to focus on that later and instead began to explain her thoughts and concerns to the young Guardian and his helper.

SCENE CHANGE

Youkai stomped around his quarters smashing object after object. He was gravely disappointed in Bakemono for failing and it was his intention to eliminate those infernal monkeys himself. The only problem was that he was only 1 being against over a dozen Saiyans. Although he was much stronger than Bakemono he knew that 1 of the most powerful Saiyans had not made it to the fight. He had been studying her closely and was well aware of her potential. He was sure that if aggravated she would prove to be a challenge in his current condition. He also knew that the 2 purebloods hadn't gone to their ultimate form and that if they did he would be no match for them. He decided that in order to ensure that they wouldn't have the time to achieve that level that they would have to be killed first. This required that the other Saiyans be distracted. Youkai decided that he would return to his planet and demand that the best Demonian biological scientists to create 5 supreme synthetic super warriors. They would have the strength of the Super Saiyans and would be the perfect tool in his conquest. Smirking evilly he ordered for the ship to return to Planet Phanzon. The ship did a 180 and blasted off into space at many times the speed of light. It arrived at its home planet after 2 months of travel.

Author's Note: Uh-oh... Youkai's getting ready for a massacre... And Goku and the others have absolutely no idea what's going on with Youkai or his plans. Isn't it amazing that Yamako is the only 1 that senses trouble or realizes that Bakemono was just working for someone even when she wasn't even at the battle? Oh well...I guess the battle with Youkai will happen in the next chapter... Remember to review!
