Chapter four

Section Three

'A Snap Shot In The Family Album'

It had been a month after the fight with the androids. Kacoshi sat in her bed and looked over her shoulder to see her love laying there his flame like black hair ruffled by sleep. She smiled softly at him. He had finally opened up to her last night. She could still fell his caresses on her still bare skin. She pulled back a long strand of hair from her bangs and leaned over him.

"Vegeta..." she said tenderly. His eyes slowly opened to look at her then a soft smirk crossed his face. He kissed her roughly pulling her to him. She smiled as she rested atop of him. "Morning" she smiled brightly.

"Good morning Kacoshi..." he said slowly. She then pushed her self from him.

"I'll go make breakfast" her voice was soft and loving. She still did no know what she had done to have some one like him as her lover but she was glad. As she stood up and walked over to the dresser, her lithe body unclothed. Vegeta watched her. He looked over her voluptuous figure it wasn't until his eye traveled down to the small of her back that he saw it. A small scar at the base of her tailbone. He frowned lightly. Could it be? He to had the same type of scar where his tail had been cut off?

"Kacoshi come here," he growled lightly. She turned to look at him from over her shoulder.

"What?" she asked. She then walked towards him.

"That scar where did you get it" he brushed his finger over it when she got close enough. She blinked several times then looked at him.

"That I've had it for as long as I can remember" she frowned. "Is there a problem?" she asked. Vegeta shook his head.

"No woman there isn't..." his voice was a low growl. Kacoshi blinked.

Kacoshi sat in the living room of her and Vegeta's new home. She watched two one year olds it had been almost two years. She couldn't believe it a clam smiled was on her face. She had two beautiful boys. She laughed to herself as one of the children stood up his black hair fell into cobalt blue eyes. He pulled a toy from his twin brother who pouted.

"Give back!" the other twin demanded as he grabbed the toy back causing the first to fall he started to cry and ran to her.

"Its ok Trunks" Kacoshi said calmly and picked up another toy from the floor and gave it to him. "How about you play with this one" she asked he sniffed slightly then grabbed it and smiled. He went back and sat down. She watched them wondering when Vegeta would stop training. She had been slightly annoyed by it when they had first started living together but now she just quietly waited. He always made time for her and their sons. Her other son looked at her and stood up offering her his toy. He had two-toned black and blue hair the tips where dark aqua blue. She shook her head softly.

"You keep it Kinsei" she smiled. Kinsei sat down on the ground and pushed the truck he had offered his mother. She smiled as she watched him.

"The brats look like you" a deep voice said behind her she turned to smile softly at Vegeta he was only in a plush towel his black eyes looking down at her.

"Finished training?" she asked he nodded and then kisses her on the forehead. He had become so much more tender with her lately. She didn't know why but didn't care she loved him. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and looked at there two sons. She had made him proud with them. Kinsei looked up at him and smiled while the other trunks merely continued what he was doing. His tiny hands manipulating a tinker toy.

"Why don't we take them to the park Vegeta?" Kacoshi asked looking up at him. Vegeta frowned.

"What ever woman," he muttered. She smiled brightly

"Maybe we will see Bulma with her son and I know on a day like today Koiko will have her daughter with her there," she said brightly. Unlike the briefs and the sons, Kacoshi made sure she kept in contact with all of the people who she had met that fateful day almost two years ago.

---

Koiko sat with her one-year-old daughter on her lap talking to Bulma. She wondered if she would see Kacoshi any time soon. She hoped so the woman was always a positive presence even if her husband left a bad taste in her mouth.

"I still can believe it Koiko. You and sixteen where always arguing next thing I know your pregnant with her. Not that she isn't the most adorable thing in the world," Bulma laughed. The little girl giggled faintly her pink hair had blond highlights running through it.

"Kin!" she said squirming from her mothers hold. Clutching at the air in the direction of the boisterous, one and a half year old child Kindin. Koiko shrugged and let the girl down she walked towards him. She didn't wear a dress like most little girls her age instead; her mother had her in a white top with pink shorts. Koiko herself was in her usually odd attire of the Sayain spandex and white t-shirt.

"I never thought you would stay with that cousin of mine." Koiko smirked at Bulma.

"Koiko…Bulma we're back with snacks" a voice said as sixteen came striding into view he was in a black t-shirt with blue jeans. Behind him, Raditz was carrying a bag he was in his leather flight jacket. He smiled vibrantly. They got to the woman hastily Raditz handed the bag to Bulma.

"Oh great did you get soda?" she asked searching through the bag. Raditz smirked and pulled one from the bag dangling it in front of her face.

"Looking for this" he said. She grabbed it from him happily.

"You know just what I like love!" she opened it. Koiko smirked and stood up wrapping her arms around her husband. Sixteen smiled softly and looked over his shoulder at her. He then frowned slightly.

"Where is Posha?" he asked. Koiko nodded in the girl's direction. She was casing Kindin happily. He smiled as he watched her she had long hair for her age not uncommon though for a half Sayain it fell to her mid-back. The boy Kindin to had long hair it was at his shoulders but every one there knew it would grow out longer. Kindin laughed as he chased her around a poll his mobility more developed. He was the oldest of the children.

"She's cute isn't she Ayhan?" Koiko asked him. He smiled brightly and nodded.

"Oh so you finally took back your name from Dr. Gero?" Bulma raised and eyebrow.

"Ya…It's funny to be called that again." He laughed running a hand through his blond hair. " I never thought after all that happened I would use it again. But Koiko pointed out sixteen was a rather odd name to go by" he smiled lightly.

"How is your sister doing?" Bulma was curious about the other android. Krillen had taken her to Roshi's island after the fight and it had been a whole month before anyone realized she was there. The blond haired android it seems had fallen in loved with Krillen of all people. Ayhan smiled.

"Oh, she's fine...She finally forgave me for betraying her... and I got to talk to her for a while. She really loves Krillen I think he's the first one I have ever seen make her blush." He laughed heartily. as he did a woman strode towards them with her twins in her arms each where cling to her shoulders. she smiled as she saw them.

"I was hoping to see you guys here" Kacoshi said brightly as Vegeta walked after her. he was frowning slightly and was as usually in his sayain armor. Kacoshi sat down her two sons climbing down her.

"Mom!" Kinsei pointed over to where Kindin and Posha where playing in the sand. Kacoshi smiled softly.

"Go ahead" she said.

"Hey Kacoshi how are you fairing" Bulma asked as Vegeta sat down behind his wife on the other side of the table.

"I'm fine... there a bit of a handful" she smiled sheepishly as she looked over at her sons. all four children where playing in the sand there faces sandy. Posha seemed to be leading the group her long pink hair fell into the sand as she sat there.

"I can bet twins...Do they run in your family Kacoshi" Koiko asked. Kacoshi shrugged.

"I don't know I was adopted..." the woman frowned slightly.

"Oh..."Koiko muttered.

"That reminds me!" Bluma said changing the subject. "There holding a tournament this in a few weeks I thought you might want to know Koiko...Seeing as you and your husband do martial arts"

"Hey that sounds like fun" Ayhan smirked. Koiko nodded

"I'm entering and so is my brother" Radtiz said smirking

"I'm in!" Koiko laughed. "both of us are in" she looked at Ayhan with a coy smile.

"...you can count me in to if Kakkarot's coming" Vegeta's voice was eager. Kacoshi looked over her shoulder at him. and frowned.

"I have an idea! why don't you enter Kacoshi!" Koiko laughed poking her friend. Kacoshi shook her head lightly.

"...I don't know..." Kacoshi frowned at her. "I don't like fighting" Vegeta looked at her it was the one thing that bugged him about her. He wondered how a half saiyan could hate fighting as much as she seemed to, and yet he had to wonder if she actually hated it as much as she said. He watched her carefully. She was looking down at her hands slightly and clasping them together.

"On come on KC I know you can fight." She smiled brightly.

"Koiko...I don't want to..." She frowned.

"Kacoshi its not like normal fighting no one will get hurt" Bulma said she her self was curious how well Kacoshi could fight.

"Maybe..." she said then stood up walking over to the kids she sat down next to her sons. She smiled at them then played with them in that sand.

Goku sparred with Gohan. the boy had grown quite a bit in the short time and under his father's training he had become a much better fighter.

"Gohan!" both stopped mid-charge when the heard Chi-Chi's voice.

"What mom!" Gohan's young voice chimed out.

"GET BACK IN HERE AND DO YOURE SCHOOL WORK" He cringed slightly and walked towards the house. Goku smiled at him.

"Don't worry we'll pick it up tomorrow Gohan" he said laughing. As the two entered the house Chi-chi leveled Goku with a glare. a young child was stilling on a high chair playing with some cereal. he babbled happily with a few words in-between. Goku laugh and walked over to him. The child looked just like him.

"Hey Goten!" he smiled ruffling the boys hair.

"DA!!" the child laughed. Chi-chi continued to glare at him

"What do you think your doing taking time out of his school work to train! well Goku?" she said. Goku turned to her laughing slightly.

"Aww come on Chi-Chi he has to train for the tournaments coming up..." he said. she rolled her eyes slightly.

"Those stupid tournaments I don't even know why I'm allowing him to go hes to young to be out fighting" her hands moved wildly as she motioned in Gohan's direction. Goku laughed slightly as he watched his wife scratching the back of his head.

"Mom...I want to fight..." Gohan said softly. Chi-Chi looked at him.

"I will not have my son trapsing about and getting himself killed...I have enough problem with you father" she leveled a nasty glare at Goku, who sighed.

"Chi-Chi its only a tournament. You can't get hurt in a tournament" Goku said placing a hand on his wife's shoulder trying to calm her.

"Fine..." She glared over her shoulder then stormed out of the room.

---

"Woman you never did tell me why you hate fighting" Vegeta said. Kacoshi was laying on top of him on the couch her head resting on his chest. she looked up at him with a soft frown it was the same frown she wore when ever someone asked her that question.

"...It's not that important is all" she said slightly. vegeta glared at her then shifted to a sitting position Kacoshi eeped slightly as she slid to the other end of the couch. she looked at him with her blue eyes the only thing Vegeta had never been able to resist."I'm sorry vegeta..." She sat up her hands in her lap. Vegeta frowned.

"What ever woman" he said exsasperated and stood up "I'm going to train.." he muttered then disappeared into the gravity room Kacoshi had jury-rigged from Bulma's designs. Kacoshi sighed to herself as she sat on the couch alone. the twins where asleep. she should go take a nap, she hadn't had much time for sleep lately. she stood up and walked to the bed room. when she flung herself onto the bed she found herself more tired then she had thought. she fell asleep quickly.

---

A figure stalked through a burned city its long tail lashing back and forth. from a corner of a destroyed building a gold eyed woman watched she took a deep breath as she saw the man. he turned to look at her there was something familiar in his face. he was tall with black eyes and long spiked red hair. he turned and saw the woman a smirk played at the corners of his mouth. she withdrew into the ruins.

"Don't you see this is what is destined to happen" she heard a deep voice say. "I will destroy all of you...starting with Goku" she shivered as she listened to the voice. then slowly footsteps started to chase her she sped up keeping walls between her and her persuer. she heard his even steps behind her and she felt the dread fill her heart. he couldn't catch her she wouldn't allow it. his steps grew louder and she moved swifter. this wasn't going to happen. suddenly the being appeared before her.

"Boo!..." he said she let out a yip of surprise. she gaped at him he looked so familiar his long hair spiked in a fashion she had seen before. "Why do you run from me little lamb" he grabbed her arm. She pulled it from him her golden eyes wide. she turned and ran.

"Its not so easy to run away from destiny" the voice carried to her as if it had been whispered in her ear. she then saw him again sitting on a broken and collapsing wall. he smirked at her. then he jumped down. slowly an energy blast formed in his hand and the world went black for her.

---

Kacoshi woke from her nap panting. Who had that man been she couldn't hold the image long enough to analyze it. He had been tall, but something had been so fermilure to her. She heard his last words in her head. Clearly as if he had spoken them to her now. She shuddered and sat up in the bed then looked over at her clock. She had only been asleep an hour. When she stood up she felt weaker then normal. A frown crossed her face as she walked out of the room thinking to herself. She decided to check on trunks and Kinsei. when she walked into the room the two where still fast asleep. she smiled down at them. Kinsei had his arms wrapped protectively around Trunks. it was cute. she walked from the room careful not to wake them. she then walked to the living room Vegeta wasn't there. Kacoshi figured he must still be training. She felt lost now with out anyone to be around.
