Authors Note: Hey here's another chapter. I broke my arm in 2 places last week so unfortunately I won't be able to type much until I get this cast off. I managed to type another chapter though. I'll type as much as I can but with only 1 arm I'm not going to be able to do much and that means it might be awhile before I post another chapter. Hope you enjoy this chapter. REVIEW!

Chapter Sixteen: The Return of the Saiyans

After a long flight Kumori arrived at Kazefern Cliff; tired and out of breath. He looked around for Yamako and noticed her standing motionless against the cliff wall and it appeared as though she was asleep.

"Bout time you showed up." Yamako stated as her position didn't change.

Kumori jumped slightly. "Geez! I thought you were asleep!"

Yamako opened her eyes and smirked at him.

"Anyways…sorry I took so long. I didn't mean to keep your 'Highness' waiting." Kumori stated sarcastically, mocking the fact that she constantly reminded everyone that she was the Saiyan princess.

Yamako glared at him and Kumori smiled sheepishly. He gulped slightly as the intensity of Yamako's glare increased. It was now at the point where it would make even Vegeta squirm.

Note to self. …Remember not to piss off Vegeta's granddaughter. Especially when she's like 10 times more powerful than you. Kumori thought hesitantly.

Yamako rolled her eyes and pushed herself off the wall. She unfolded her arms and removed the backpack from her back.

"Let's just get this over with so I can go home and start training again. Hopefully Grandpa Vegeta or Grandpa Gohan will be up for a spar." Yamako groaned as she began removing her 4 Dragon Balls from her bag.

Kumori sighed and rolled his eyes but followed Yamako's lead. He began removing the Dragon Balls 1 by 1 from his bag. Once he had removed all 3 Dragon Balls from his bag he placed the empty case in his bag so he could give it to Piccolo before placing the bag on his back and stepping away. Yamako stepped forward and put her hands out over the Dragon Balls as they glowed brightly. Yamako smirked and Kumori looked on in awe, wondering if this would actually work.

"Eternal Dragon by your name I summon you forth! SHENRON!" Yamako cried loudly as the Dragon Balls glowed even brighter.

The sky began to go black and fierce lightning flashed from unseen storm clouds as the wind whipped Yamako and Kumori's hair about wildly. Soon the glowing form of the Dragon shot out from the Dragon Balls. It soared high into the air and the glow slowly died away to reveal the mystical Dragon towering above them. Kumori gaped at the Dragon. He knew what the old Dragon looked like and he was shocked to see that Yamako's Dragon looked slightly different. It had the same basic shape but its skin was a bright golden color. He assumed that was from the fact that Yamako was a Super Saiyan and not a Namekian. Shenron looked down at them and his eyes glowed bright red for a moment before they dimmed slightly.

"Wow! You did it Yamako! Alright!" Kumori cheered.

Yamako shrugged her shoulders slightly. "Naturally. You're talking to the Princess of all Saiyans here."

Kumori sighed and rolled his eyes. Sometimes Yamako was a little too much like Vegeta for her own good.

"Choose your words carefully and I will grant any 2 wishes you desire." Shenron seemed to roar.

"Shenron I wish for you to restore Satan City, the Lookout, and Korin's Tower to the way they were before Youkai arrived on Earth!"

"So be it…" Shenron growled as his eyes glowed bright red.

Instantly the city, the Lookout, and Korin's Tower were returned to normal and Shenron's eyes dimmed once again. He looked down at Yamako expectantly and Yamako simply stared up at him smirking.

"It has been done. Now what is your second wish?"

"I wish for all those killed by Youkai and his men to be restored to life and for my grandfathers Goku and Vegeta to be brought back to life here before me."

For a moment Shenron didn't do anything and Kumori looked at him hopefully. This was it. The old Dragon Balls were unable to bring back people who had already died before and these Dragon Balls were created from the same model. Their powers were supposed to be linked like the 2 other Dragons' powers had been. If that were the case then everyone who had died before, especially Goku and Vegeta, would not be able to be brought back. However, Yamako had assured him telepathically that her Dragon Balls would be able to accomplish this. As well as being able to be used more often. Once every 8 months verses once every year. Kumori held his breath and waited anxiously for Shenron's response.

"Your wish…" Shenron began hesitantly. "…shall be granted."

Yamako smirked smugly while Kumori smiled excitedly. Yamako turned towards Kumori with an arrogant expression plastered on her face. Kumori sighed slightly. He'd never hear the end of this 1.

As if she needed another ego boost. I almost wish Shenron couldn't bring Goku and Vegeta back. At least then her pride would be at a manageable level. Kumori thought dejectedly.

Yamako sneered at him out of the corner of her eye but decided to deal with him later. She'd much rather pay attention to seeing the reactions on Goku and Vegeta's faces when they reappeared. Shenron's eyes began to glow and soon Goku and Vegeta's forms began to materialize in front of her. She smirked as the 2 fully materialized in front of her with shocked expressions on their faces. Shenron bid farewell and disappeared, causing the Dragon Balls to scatter across the globe once again. Goku and Vegeta looked around in complete confusion for a few minutes before focusing on Yamako. The 2 noted Yamako's increased ki, which contained a strange ki signature they couldn't quite place, and the cocky smirk on her face. That smirk usually meant trouble.

"Yamako…how'd we get wished back?" Goku asked frantically.

"Long story." Yamako stated as she rolled her eyes for emphasis before taking a few steps forward.

Kumori followed close behind for a moment then passed her when she stopped. He smiled at Goku and then noticed Vegeta giving his granddaughter an expectant glare. Noticing the look Yamako gave a small simple smile.

"I'll explain later but right now I think Grandpa Gohan and the others will be anxious to see you 2."

Goku and Vegeta's faces brightened at that idea. On top of that the 2 were eager to discover the mystery behind Gohan's location these past 2½ years. They had hundreds of questions swarming in their minds but right now were more interested in seeing their families once again. Glancing at each other briefly Vegeta and Goku moved slightly closer to each other before Goku placed his hand on Vegeta's shoulder and placed 2 fingers on his forehead. He then motioned for Kumori to latch on. Kumori calmly walked over and placed his hand on Goku's shoulder and waited for Yamako to walk over. Yamako mentally growled. She'd much rather teleport using her technique. That wouldn't require being in close proximity to anyone but she didn't want to reveal her secret to her grandfathers so she grudgingly walked over and allowed Kumori to place his other hand on her shoulder. Goku concentrated on Gohan's ki, astonished to sense the same peculiar ki present in his ki as was present in Yamako's ki, and soon disappeared, reappearing at Capsule Corp. a few seconds later.

SCENE CHANGE

Gohan and the other Z-Fighters continued to watch the sky from Capsule Corp. They had seen all the signs of the Dragon being summoned and were searching for any proof to confirm their suspicions. Even Piccolo was present (having found Korin, Mr. Popo, and Dende safe and sound and then returned them to what remained of the Lookout) as he had come over to spend more time catching up with Gohan and besides he was just as curious to know about the strange occurrences of the day and the secrets behind Yamako's words. The girls were inside preparing dinner and the children were busy playing with their toys in the Living Room. Suddenly the entire group sensed 2 kis, accompanied by Yamako and Kumori's, beginning to appear right in front of them. The kis were familiar and soon Goku, Vegeta, Yamako, and Kumori appeared before them. They all gasped and their jaws dropped in astonishment at the sight before them. Goku let go of Vegeta's shoulder and the Saiyan prince moved a few steps away. Kumori let go of both Goku and Yamako and stepped back in order to allow the others to greet the 2 purebloods and give Yamako her precious space. Yamako walked away from the group and waited for the stampede to occur. She knew how overly dramatic some of her family members could be. She looked at the shocked faces of all the Z-Fighters and then to Vegeta, a little surprised to see him have a genuinely happy, though somewhat distressed, look on his face. Although she knew that Vegeta wasn't as emotionless or cruel as he sometimes appeared to be he rarely showed that part of himself to anyone besides Bulma and occasionally his daughter and granddaughters. She rolled her eyes. Vegeta really was starting to get soft. She glanced back to the others wondering how long they were going to just stare at the 2 of them. Just as she predicted once the reality set in the whole entire gang charged over and started hugging Goku (they knew better than to try and hug Vegeta). Gohan, Goten, and Pan were the first ones to latch onto Goku and the others soon followed, with the exception of Piccolo. Yamako rolled her eyes. Her family could act so weak sometimes.

"Hiya guys! I'm glad to see you all too." Goku laughed.

The others simply laughed as tears of joy streamed down Gohan, Goten, and Pan's faces. Just then the door opened and Chichi stood there with an astonished look on her face. Videl, Bulma, and Bra were there a second later. Bulma's eyes widened when she saw Vegeta standing there staring at her with a small smile on his face. Bra and Videl both gasped when they saw Vegeta and Goku standing there. They were snapped out of their shock when Chichi and Bulma sprang forward.

"GOKU!"

"VEGETA!"

The 2 women were in front of their husbands in no time and they launched themselves into their husbands' arms. Chichi wrapped her arms around Goku's waist and cried happily into his chest. Goku soothed her and hugged her tightly in return. Bulma wrapped her arms around Vegeta's neck and was quite surprised when he wrapped his arms around her waist in return. She laughed and cried into his shoulder all at once.

:I love you Bulma. You are everything to me.: Vegeta communicated unexpectedly.

Bulma was a little shocked that he actually told her that so suddenly, for he had only ever told her that once…the night they bonded; but was too happy about his return to show her shock. A grin broke out across her face and her grip tightened slightly but not to the point where it was uncomfortable for Vegeta.

:I know…I've always known… I love you too.:

Bra quickly ran over and hugged Vegeta as well while Videl ran up and hugged Gohan instead. Gohan smiled down at her and watched his parents happily. Trunks and Pan moved closer to each other and hugged while watching the 2 couples greet each other before Pan walked over to hug her parents. It wasn't long before the children ran out and joined the adults in hugging and greeting Goku and Vegeta.

"GRANDPA GOKU!" Jaketsu and Kurige chorused as they latched themselves onto Goku's legs happily.

"GRANDPA GOKU!" Jasumin cried as she leapt into his arms and buried her head in his chest.

"GRANDPA VEGETA!" Kasaiko shouted as she flew into Vegeta's chest.

Vegeta gave a small smile and held his granddaughter in his arm while Bulma and Bra remained latched onto his neck and shoulder. Goku laughed at his grandchildren's behavior and hugged them tightly while Chichi circled her arm around his and leaned against his shoulder. Jasumin snuggled into his chest for a few minutes before lifting her head and looking at Vegeta. Jasumin smiled brightly and began to loosen herself from her great-grandfather's grip.

"GRANDPA VEGETA!" she exclaimed as she leapt from Goku's arms into Vegeta's arms.

Vegeta smiled at her slightly and held her close. Jasumin and Kasaiko both laughed happily into his chest. Yamako watched the scene and then rolled her eyes. Turning towards the building slightly she looked back at Vegeta for a moment.

"I'll be in the Gravity Chamber training Grandpa Vegeta." Yamako said as she walked off towards the compound.

Yamako passed Trunks and he looked at her sternly. She didn't even pretend to notice him but simply kept walking.

"Yamako…" Trunks stated quietly.

"What Dad?" Yamako asked harshly as she turned her head to look at him.

Trunks looked at her for a moment and then turned down his gaze. He sighed regretfully.

"Nothing…"

Yamako continued to look at him for a second more before turning back around and began walking for the building again. The scowl that seemed to always be present on both her and Vegeta's faces never changing the entire time. Trunks watched her go as Pan walked up and joined him. Trunks sighed again.

"She'll never change…"

Pan nodded her head in agreement as she leaned against Trunks' chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Yamako walked into the building and sneered slightly after picking up the slight feeling of disgrace from her parents' minds. They would rather she act like some sniveling weakling than the warrior that was in her blood. She didn't care what her parents or anyone thought. As long as she was a Saiyan princess she would continue to act as such. She pressed a black button on her watch, which changed her clothes into her training outfit (it resembled Vegito's outfit but with a red form-fitting under shirt and sash/belt and the orange bandana tied securely around her head as a red hair-tie held her hair in her traditional low loose pony-tail) and walked out of the building towards the Gravity Chamber. She went inside, sealed the door, and went over to the control panel. For a second she pondered at what level to set the gravity at. She decided to see just how much she could handle with her new powers so she set it to 2000 times the planet's normal gravity. The gravity activated and her body was instantly pulled towards the ground with the intense gravity. Growling she powered up to level 3 and pulled herself upright. She let out a breath once her body had gotten used to the extra strain. Yamako mentally smirked at how well she was able to withstand this kind of gravity. She then noticed how high her ki had gone in order for her to tolerate this gravity and was glad that the Gravity Chamber was shielded. Whoever was inside was shielded from having their kis read and couldn't read anyone else's kis outside. It didn't matter to her though. She was able to sense everyone's brainwave patterns and was able to keep track of them at all times. Almost like detecting their kis but sensing their brainwaves instead. She learned how to do this years ago when she first learned how to read and control minds. It proved very useful when she wanted to hide the fact that she could withstand such a high level of gravity; along with keeping her parents and family members from freaking out about the gravity. Yamako smirked and began punching and kicking at an invisible opponent. At first very slowly then gradually with more speed as her body adjusted.

SCENE CHANGE

Kumori watched as Vegeta and Goku were almost literally attacked by their families and smiled. Yamako had really made her family happy for a change. Normally Yamako was content with her family being in 1 piece and just leaving her alone. Yamako usually just looked out for herself, at least that's the mask she displayed in public. However, this time she couldn't deny that part of the reason she had used the Dragon Balls to bring Goku and Vegeta back was so her family would be happy. She might try to give the excuse that without Vegeta around she wouldn't have a descent-training partner but everyone would know that wasn't the true reason. Kumori then saw Yamako's exit and her confrontation with Trunks and sighed heavily.

Maybe not… Perhaps she really did just bring them back for their fighting abilities. Kumori thought before shaking that thought out of his head quickly.

After a few more minutes and a lot of 'welcome back's from everyone. Gohan finally decided to find out some things that had been plaguing the back of his mind since Yamako and the others appeared there moments ago.

"Kumori how did you and Yamako wish Dad and Vegeta back? The Dragon Balls disappeared. Trust me I know!"

At that moment everyone turned to stare at Kumori expectantly. Kumori gulped and planted a small sheepish grin on his face as he desperately searched his brain for a possible explanation.

Oh man! What now? What in the world am I supposed to tell them? Kumori thought panicking slightly.

:The truth…: Yamako's voice echoed in his brain.

Kumori nearly jumped in surprise. Yamako rarely communicated with him telepathically while he was in front of everyone. In fact the only time she did communicate with him in that manner at all was when she was telling him that she was coming over to train or that she wanted him to get something. Otherwise they communicated face to face. Kumori was also surprised to realize that she was still listening in on his thoughts. She must have suspected Gohan of asking him this sooner or later because normally she only listened to his thoughts when she suspected him of making a comment about her.

:The truth? Are you sure Yamako?:

:Of course I'm sure! Just leave out any parts about my secret got it! Other than that go ahead.: Kumori could practically hear her sneer with that last remark.

:Ok if you say so. And would you quit talking to me like that in front of Gohan and the others! They're going to think we've bonded or something!: Kumori mentally screamed back.

Yamako smirked although Kumori couldn't see. :Relax it's not like you've got bonding marks or anything.:

Kumori considered this and nodded mentally. :I guess you're right. Love you.:

Yamako smiled slightly. :Yeah you too.: Yamako's face then hardened slightly. :Now just focus on keeping my powers a secret. I've worked too hard hiding my powers to let you throw it all away now.:

Kumori would've retaliated but Yamako closed the link between their minds and continued her training. So he simply rolled his eyes and looked back at the others. Gohan stared at him sternly and Vegeta looked like he was about ready to kill someone. Kumori visibly cringed. Having the strongest, and 1 of the second strongest beings in the entire universe pissed at him wasn't exactly what he wanted. Especially when they were the grandfathers of his girlfriend. Kumori sighed and threw Piccolo a look that told him not to say anything. Piccolo nodded discreetly. Obviously Yamako had just been communicating with him telepathically and that she wanted him to keep certain things a secret.

"Alright Kumori spill. I know you know how Yamako did it so don't even try to deny it." Gohan stated as he crossed his arms over his chest threateningly.

Kumori sighed there was no avoiding the subject. He had to tell Gohan and the others now or he'd be dead-meat. He let out a breath and searched for the right words.

"Alright Gohan I'll tell you…but first…Piccolo…" Kumori said turning to look at him.

Piccolo looked at Kumori a little shocked that he needed to address him about something but still listened intently. Kumori took off his backpack and set it on the ground before pulling out the empty case. He carefully carried it over to Piccolo and handed it to him.

"I kinda barrowed this… Sorry, but Yamako needed it to create a new set of Dragon Balls…"

A large murmur spread throughout everyone there and they all glanced at 1 another before turning to look at Kumori confused, even Piccolo was looking for an explanation.

"Yamako wished for the ability using the Dragon Balls from New Namek just before they were destroyed."

Gohan and the others nodded in recognition but were still wondering how she had gotten to New Namek. Kumori however, looked at them regrettably and they knew that he wasn't going to tell them anymore.

"Well now that that's cleared up what do you say we go in and really celebrate beating Youkai and having Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta back?" Bulma purposed excitedly.

Everyone nodded in agreement and began going inside and soon the entire complex was filled with music and fun.

Author's Note: So Goku and Vegeta are back and everyone is happy to see them. Yamako's gentler side of her personality is starting to show through with Kumori. Yamako really does care about him she is just so protective of her emotions and how potentially dangerous they can be. Hopefully Kumori will be able to get Yamako to let down more of her defenses. Find out in the next chapter. Remember to review!
