A Saiyan Sister: Vegeta's Past Revealed
Me: Hi all! Sorry I haven't updated!
Vegeta: Lemme guess. You had a cold.
Me: I was hanging out with friends! I got DBZ Budokai 3 and I got everyone except Supreme Kai! Including SS4 Veggie-chan! My next door neighbor (who is a boy) tried to get it b4 me and I ended up getting both SS4 Goku AND Vegeta b4 him!
Vegeta: Who cares?
Me: You beat Kakarot… and he admitted that you were the be-est….
Vegeta: Let's go over the whole fight.
Trunks: Kiya doesn't own… looks at list DBZ, DBGT, or DB… or DBZ Budokai 3... Or her neighbor. Do you ever think… she likes her neighbor?
Me: (twitch) WHY YOU! I DO NOT! HIS OLDER SISTER IS MY BEST FRIEND! HE'S 11 DAYS OLDER THAN ME! AND I DON'T-DON'T-DON'T-DON'T LIKE HIM! Now on with the chapter! (chases Trunks)
Chapter 6: Fights, Fairy Tales, and Father
I laid quietly on my bed in my room. Straining my ears for any knock at the door, I only pretended to be indulging in my book. Sadly, my efforts were in vain. I picked up my scouter and cicked a button that revealed the time to be 3:30AM.
It had been 6 hours since Vegeta decided to barge in on my night. It had been so fun up to that point! Except for the creepy teenagers, I had no problem with the restaurant, especially not with the food. On top of all that, there was Yamcha. He had made sure I wouldn't get myself into trouble.
"I can't believe them!" I yelled before I realized what I had done. It was smart of Bulma to have installed sound wave devices in the room that rerouted sound away from the doors. We both knew that Vegeta could hear almost anything that went on here, and he, too, would be straining to hear from me.
But still! Just the fact that they had fought right in the middle of the street like that! I'd think that he'd trust me by now. I'm not his daughter! I'm his sister! How could he not trust me? If I had spent all that time alone in space, you'd think I'd have some respect!
A soft knock on my door sent me scrambling for a book. I picked up some story that had been lying randomly in the room. It was in an Earth language, and I silently hoped that the knocker wouldn't know my lack of intelligence in that category.
"Come in." I growled sharply, just enough to scare whoever was at the door. A pointed hairdo made it's way into the room just before it's owner. Vegeta stood in the doorway wearing the same black outfit that he'd attacked Yamcha in.
"Go away." My brother starting making his way towards me over the books and other various stuff that littered the floor. I rolled over, defying a conversation, yet pouting like the two-year-old I once was, Vegeta pulled up a seat and forced me to roll over, book still in my hand.
He snatched it before I had a chance to react. Quickly scanning the title and first page, my brother shook his head. "You can't read English, Akiyu. I know that. Stop acting and talk to me."
Rolling back over in an obvious attempt to let him know I wanted him to leave, I growled. My tail twitched violently and slapped his hand away. Tears stung my eyes as I tried to hold them in, my pride outruling everything else.
"Do you know the story of Bakan and Nikala?" My brother's voice shook me out of my own little world as he recited the name of a story. A story I'd never heard before.
"Is… is that an Earth story… that you named?" I asked quietly as I turned to face my brother. He nodded and continued.
"Bakan and Nikala were your normal, everyday Earth siblings. They played catch with rubber balls, and chased each other. They rarely argued at all. Then Nikala turned 18. Her brother desperately searched for her, but to no avail.
"When Nikala eventually came home, Bakan was overjoyed. It had been 3 hours since they'd seen each other. That's how close they were. Anyway, when Nikala disappeared again, she was never found. She never returned home after that. Then Bakan found a pretty princess and married her. The end."
"Vegeta… What was the point of that?"
"The ending was something I was used to because Bulla loved happy endings. The point is that I don't want to be the stupid little Earth boy and have you disappear. I just found you again and I don't want to lose you. After that fight… I was afraid you'd left again."
"Oh, Vegeta, grow up!" My rough side took over again as I tried to knock some sense into my brother. "I won't leave you! Am I not allowed to have a life? If you hadn't fought with Yamcha-"
"He could've hurt you!"
"He'd never hurt anyone!"
"He upset Bulma many times!"
"Well… she's not me, is she?"
"No, but that's bad enough!"
"See! You hold the past against someone! Always! Grow up Vegeta! You sound like Father!"
"How do I…" Vegeta looked shocked when I pulled off this accusation. It was true, he was sounding like Father. He was always holding the past against the rulers of other planets. "Father was… I've never…"
"You just did! Just let it go with Yamcha, and let me have a boyfriend! He was nice enough to help me find you! Trunks told me that you guys had lost my ki signature. If he hadn't led me here-"
"We would've found you eventually. I am nothing like father. Good night, Akiyu." I sat on my bed from my standing position. I quickly layed down and fell asleep. Outside my door, my brother whispered something that only he could hear in our native language.
"Oyasuminasai, mai shisuta-chan."
