Hi...I just want to gives my thanks for the reviews, and for the advice, very helpful. Well here is chapter 2...And as always advice is more than welcome(
Chapter 2
Vegeta stood with his back against the large oak tree in the park as he watched Cayden play from afar. He couldn't help but notice some of the looks some of the girls that passed gave him.
He was almost used to the annoying stares girls gave him now, and he had to admitt that sometimes it was flattering, but most of the time it was just annoying. Veg was 18 and had only had one girlfriend, and it was about a year and half ago.
He knew the reason no one could ever really get to him, although he had refused to admitt it to himself for a long time, but eventually accepted it. Refusing himself the right to have the thought cross his mind was the way he was kept sane.
Veg looked on as Cayden fell and scraped his knee. There was a moment of not being sure how to react on Cayden's part, the he made up his mind to cry. Veg just shook his head and laughed as the small black hair boy made his way over to him.
"It hurts." He said pointing to the barely bleeding scrape. Veg bent down pretending to look really concerned.
"Yes I don't think you are going to make, maybe I should just put you out of your memory." He laughed at the looked of horror that crossed the child's face. Then he picked him up and took off into the air.
Back at Capsule Corp.
Zia took the deepest breath she could trying to calm herself again, and she held it for what seemed and eternity, or at least till the other people entered the room.
Bulma came in first, followed by the boy with lavender, whom Zia assumed was her son. She was a very beautiful woman, especially for her age. Zia thought her blue green hair was too cute.
Both sat down across from her and Zia's stomach started to turn as Bulma started to speak, "So, how are you today dear?" Bulma asked pushing the papers infront of her aside.
Zia instantly lost her nervousness, and smiled as the woman grinned at her, "Well it had been going good so far." Zia replied.
Bulma smiled and nodded, "I have reviewed your transcript, resume, and application. I must say miss Turnner, that hands down you are your best candidate for our space department manager. You have the most experience of anyone of the others, and seem to know things even I don't. Therefore I would like to welcome you to Capsule Corporation." She stood to shake Zia's hand.
Zia smiled and stood to return the favor, also shaking Trunks' hand. When she touched Trunks she felt something, kind of like a shock, but nothing like the normal shocks. He must have felt it to because he made eye contact for a moment before letting go.
They went over some basics of the job, and Zia was told she would be able to start Monday. As Zia was headed out the door Bulma stopped her, "There is just one thing we will need from you, and it is not really something I like to do, but the employees feel better if I do. I need a blood sample to check for any blood diseases, and your medical history."
Zia paniced for a moment, but realized that there was no way that she would find out that she was part saiyan, so she gave her a sample.
That Night at Capsule Corp.
Vegeta exited the gravity room for only the second time today. He had only came out once before, and that was to eat. Now he had decided that he didn't want that woman to shut off the power so he would have to wait until she woke the next morning to turn it back on.
Vegeta sat at his place at the diner table, and wondered why no one was eating. Trunks and Bulma were both just sitting there looking at him.
"What is it? Do you now need my approval to eat?" he asked.
Bulma rolled her eyes, "No your highness. We are waiting on Bulla. She is just a little late, but she said she would be here so we are going to wait."
Vegeta let out a heavy sigh of annoyance, but held his tongue.
It was another half hour before Bulla showed up. She ran in and sat down without looking up at her father, she guessed he would have something to say. Bulla had started her graduate college courses in the past two months and had been really busy. Well not totally with classes, but she wasn't about to tell her father that she was dating someone he didn't know about, and not mention skipping trips home for the guy.
Vegeta was silent and everyone turnned to look at him, he was already face first into a pile of food. Bulla relaxed.
Diner passed fairly pleasently, but Bulla noticed that Trunks seemed to have something on his mind, but waited till they were done eating to ask.
"What is going on in that genius brain of yours big brother?" she asked as she took a drink from her glass.
He looked at everyone and then took a breath, "Ok, mom and I hired this girl today and..." Bulla interuped him, "You fell in love, oh it is about time Trunks."
Trunks just shook his head at her, "No, sorry. But when I was checking her blood, you know I was just scanning it through the machine for the basic stuff. The thing is that it wouldn't go through the blood type section. The screen kept reading, 'Unknown type, unknown type.' So I decided to put it through the test for alien blood traces that mom set up. But nothing ever came up that matched."
Bulma made a thinking face, "Ok, but that means she still passed the disease part, so she will be fine. I mean she did know an awful lot about space, I mean things I didn't know it was important to know. It is very well possible she has some alien blood in her. Just give it a while son, and get to know her. Then if you really want to know you can just ask her."
'Maybe mom, but I could have sworn that it would come up saiyan.' He thought to himself.
House in West City.
Zia kissed Cayden goodbye as Terri walked out the door with him. She always hated the weekends he went with his dad, because she was never really sure if he was safe. Plus Terri never really liked the idea of Zia training him. She didn't think Terri liked her at all, and that he never really did. The fact that Zia had gotten custody of Cayden had made a nad situation worse, well at least for Terri's point of view.
Zia had no idea why he didn't like her, after all she was the one who totally supported his marriage to Nila. Nila had been Zia's half sister on her father's side. She had been a year older than Zia, and so young when she died.
Zia stood from where she had kissed him goodbye and walked into the kitchen to find Veg rumaging through the fridge. "And what exactly are you doin?" she asked putting her hand on her hip. She seen him give a smirk.
"I am baking cookies," she punched him in the arm and he didn't flinch, "Well what does it look like I am doing. Looking for something to eat."
"You ate all the food today apparently." She said sitting on the counter by the sink. He slammed the fridge shut.
"Does it always have to be a battle with you?" he asked starring at her. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "Possibly." Then she jumped down and started to stomp off down the hall.
He yelled as he followed her, "You know you can not kept avoiding this conversation Zia. And you know very well that I will not let you run away from me." He entered her room and seen her at the computer typing something, and he continued ranting about little things, but she never even took notice of him.
When he got quiet and sat in the chair she continued to work, but spoke to him calmly, "What is it that you want to discuss Veg? The fact that you have forbidden me to go look for and fight Pakeria, or the fact that you are a stubborn ass, or is it that the other night you ran my boyfriend off? Please pick one, and I will be gald to give it my all."
He gritted his teeth at the memory of the other night. He had came home and found the human bastard kissing Zia. He knew that it was nothing to be upset over, nor was it major, but for some reason he wanted to kill the guy.
"Look I still don't forgive you, and more to the matter, I do not know why you tried to kill Chris. I will, however, get over it, Veg. So if that is the problem then let it go. I also do not understand why you insist that I not go fight our parents' killer, nor do I know why you are such a jerk. These are just the great mysteries of the universe to me, and I cant even begin to explain them. Can you help me?" She turned to look at him now.
He could see the anger in her eyes, fuming with every thought she had of all the times they had fought. Fighting, and not pyshical, was one of their habits. They generally saved the biggest ones for when Cayden was gone. When they weren't fighting they were ok friends, to the outside at least. Inside both had emotions neither ever let out.
"Zia, Cayden needs you. You can not leave him here and go off and get yourself killed. It would not be fair to him." Veg said.
"Oh please Veg, when did you turn into uncle of the year? And you honestly think I am not capable of beating her? Well I love the faith you have in me. Its always good to know that the people you are closest to have such faith in you, and trust you." She then grabed her jacket and slammed the door as she took off into the air.
He sat in silence, by himself in her room for a long time thinking about different things.
His thoughts were promptly interupped by the sense of a huge powerlevel. It was not to earth yet, but close enough to feel. It was horrible, worse then anything he had felt here on earth. 'Zia!' he quickly flew off in search for her.
Capsule Corp.
Vegeta felt a slight increase in someone's powerlevel as he and Bulma sat outside, but he ignored it. 'Probably one of the others flying.' Then he felt the powerlevel heading for earth. He froze, 'What?'
Bulma had felt his tenseness and was about to ask what was wrong when Trunks and Bulla quickly came running outside. "What is it daddy?" Bulla asked, but Vegeta just shook his head.
Son Residence
Everyone was gathered around the table for Chichi's weekly family diner. They were all eating happily, that is until Gohan, Goten, and Pan droped their forks.
Chichi didn't have to ask what it was, she knew the look, and the reaction to new powerlevels. All three of them were up and on their way to Capsule Corp before ChiChi or Videl could even complain.
Zia flew as she wiped the tears aways from her face. Then she stopped suddenly as she felt the powerlever coming to earth, but there was something else she could feel, something close to her.
She looked aroung, but for some reason she couldn't see anything, her vision was gone. It took all of her strength not to panic, then she felt someone's presence.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Zia Turnner. I must say, I am enjoying watching you try not to panic." The cold raspy voice said. Then Zia felt it come at her, but she was confused when something else came from behind her.
The last thing she heard before she passed out after being hit in the back of the head was some movement and one lound grunt.
