Goku has a Sister!?
27
She smirked, watching the warrior slam into the ring. He shot back up, only to smash the tiles again as Kenya yelled, a burst of yellow energy shooting around her, knocking the man back. Her tail slashed behind her, her arms coming up as she crossed them, her body relaxed as she crossed her ankles, floating in the air. The other warriors gathered around the arena, watching this powerful woman that showed up out of nowhere. There wasn't an empty seat to be found, as the remaining warriors gathered in the entrances, finding no seats to sit in. Everyone was silent as they watched this final match. The woman was up against their fiercest fighter, the only other person to having beaten him was a man, years ago, one that this woman looked oddly similar to. The audience gasped as a whole as the man shot up a second time, punching the woman in the gut. They watched as she flew back, stopping mere inches from the ground. She slowly lifted up, a small smile on her face as she shot up into the air, her body scrunching together for a moment, before she jerked taunt, letting out a yell as her hair lengthened. They watched as her opponent swallowed.
Kenya glared at the warrior, her eyes hard as she brought her fists up to her sides. The blond man backed away, keeping his fighting stance as he watched the saiyan woman warily. She let out a low chuckle, watching as the man's eyes widened. She launched herself at him.
"Hey Kenya!"
The woman stopped abruptly, looking over, her golden eyes piercing as she looked at the Kai. The audience watched in silence as King Kai approached the ring. He looked up at Goku's sister, smirking. The man she was sparring with looked down at him, then up at the woman. He didn't want to be caught off guard, in case this was a trick. Everyone listened as the blue, rotund man spoke.
"Are you ready to go home?"
Within a blink of an eye, her hair shortened back to its original length, her body lost some muscle mass as she powered back down. Her eyes lit up, the golden pupils softening. A smile lit up her face. Kenya grinned from ear to ear down at King Kai, before slowly moving towards her sparring partner. The man watched her warily.
"Hey, good fight! You win! I'm going home!"
With that loud statement, Kenya lowered to the ground, running over to the short man. She didn't notice the interest on the men's faces as she smiled, jumping up and down a little at the thought of seeing her family and friends again. At seeing Vegeta again. The arena was quiet as everyone watched this fighter, this woman, leave, not looking back. Not caring that she lost the fight. Her opponent watched, wide eyed, as she ran happily from the arena, the round man following close behind. He smiled a little, looking around.
"I won!"
A deafening noise filled the air as everyone booed.
They all watched as the dragon's eyes glowed for a moment, his white teeth gleaming in the blackened sky, before his voice boomed around them.
"IT IS DONE."
Shenron glowed, its body encased in a golden light for a second before the dragon got sucked back into the seven balls laying a few feet from the warriors. There was a person standing a ways from them, their golden hair gleaming in the light as the sun's rays appeared. They could feel the power emanating from the warrior, the tale behind the person swishing lazily as the fighters watched the person look around. The warrior turned.
"Kenya!"
Goku ran up to her, lifting her in the air and whirling around. The woman's laughter echoed around the lookout, as Kenya threw her arms around her brothers neck. "It's so great to see you!" she exclaimed, kissing his cheek. Goku squeezed her in a hug again, before setting her on her feet. She grinned up at everyone, hugging Gohan and punching Yamcha lightly in the arm, everyone laughing as he squeaked in pain. Bulma threw her arms around the woman, yelling in her ear that it was great to see her. Chi-Chi was next, scolding her loudly for being gone so long, before crushing the woman to her chest. Kenya chuckled, looking around, her eyes bright with happiness. She looked around again, as if searching for something. Goku leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"He's over there," he said softly, gesturing with his chin.
Kenya looked, a grin splitting her face as she caught sight of the man standing away from the group, arms crossed as he watched them gather around her. Their eyes met. Kenya ran, leaving the group standing there talking to themselves, as she launched herself at the warrior, flinging her arms around his neck. They heard him grunt, his arms crushing Kenya to him as he buried his face in her neck. The fighters smiled, some smirked, while others looked away to give the couple their privacy. The two were oblivious as they continued to hold each other.
Kenya tightened her arms around Vegeta, swallowing as strong arms tightened around her. She could feel his breath on her neck, choking down a sob as her body realized it was home. Kenya felt him move his head the tiniest bit, his breath on her ear. "Don't ever leave me again," he said, his voice almost nonexistent. A hand clenched in her hair as she closed her eyes, threading her fingers through his hair as they stayed like that, not even noticing when everyone left, until the only warrior standing there was Goku. Her brother studied them, softly smiling before he too, finally flew away.
They landed outside her balcony, the sun setting, lighting up the sky with a rainbow of orange, pink, and yellow. Kenya turned to go into her room. Vegeta grabbed her, gently pulling her towards him. She smiled up at him, gazing at him with a bemused expression. The prince looked down at her, studying her. He slowly wrapped an arm around her, cupping her neck. Neither said anything. She laid her hand over his, feeling the rough skin under hers. Vegeta let a breath out, slowly. He tightened his hold on her, putting two fingers to his forehead. Kenya grinned, and they were in their previous hotel room.
"Bulma again?" Kenya softly whispered teasingly, gazing at Vegeta curiously as he stayed silent. She watched a muscle tick in his jaw, a moment later his throat worked as he swallowed. Vegeta grabbed her hand, walking towards the bed. He sat down, tugging her down beside him. His eyes roamed her face, looking into her clear golden eyes before scooting back, his body hitting the headboard. Vegeta still didn't speak, just reached forward and dragged her onto his lap. She straddled him, wrapping her arms around his neck. Kenya softly smiled at him, waiting for him to say something. Anything. Puzzlement crossed her features as the prince remained silent. "Vegeta?"
"Shhhh"
She saw him take a deep breath, his arms tightening around her for a moment before he rolled, Kenya landing on her back on the bed, Vegeta leaning over her. She rested a hand on his forearm, still curious as to his odd behavior. He laied beside her, dragging her against him, his breath hot against her neck. She tried to turn, but he tightened his hold around her waist, pulling her more firmly against him. She waited for him to say anything to her. Nothing.
"Vegeta, wha-"
She cut off as his lips touched her neck. She closed her eyes, a sigh escaping. She tried to turn again. He wouldn't let her. Vegeta buried his face in her neck, her golden hair fanning out behind her. Kenya sighed his name, squeezing his arm lightly. She felt him shake slightly, before going still, a ragged breath passing his lips. She wiggled against him. He didn't respond. She rubbed his arm, wiggling against him again.
"No."
His voice made her pause, confusion entering her mind. She opened her mouth, but closed it again. She wasn't sure what was going on with him, worried about the way he was acting. She felt the rumble in his chest as he spoke.
"I just want to hold you," he whispered against her ear, burying his head into her neck again. Kenya closed her eyes, smiling a little as she let him have his way. They both soon fell asleep, still as close to each other as two people could be. Neither turned on a light, holding each other in the dark room as the night lengthened.
She woke up in her room. Kenya lay there for a minute, softly staring at the wall, before she realized Vegeta wasn't with her. She sighed, closing her eyes. She turned, opening them again. Vegeta sat in a chair by the bed, watching her. Black eyes met gold. They studied one another, before Kenya softly smiled, rolling onto her stomach and propping herself on her elbows. Her hair whipped to one side of her head as she propped herself up, quirking an eyebrow at the prince sitting in front of her. She chuckled a little as he continued to study her.
"What's wrong with you, Vegeta?" Kenya asked softly, resting her chin on her fists. She let her feet kick in the air behind her, her tail swaying slightly. She watched Vegeta look at it, before returning his gaze back to her. She quirked a brow.
"How come you're still in your super saiyan form?" he finally asked, his voice gruff.
Kenya pursed her lips, raising her eyes to the right towards the ceiling, her brows furrowing as she thought about it. After a moment, she shrugged, returning her gaze back to Vegeta, seeming not worried about it.
He studied her for a few more minutes, before slowly standing, holding his hand out.
"Come on," he said softly. "Let's go eat."
He watched Kenya grin as she bounded off the bed, happily grabbing his hand and waiting as he stared at her. She seems so happy! Is she not at all affected by what happened!? She reminds me of Kakkarot, with his sunny disposition, not worrying about anything, seeming to never having anything weighing him down. That's not my Kenya. That's not the woman I fell in love with! What happened to the little spitfire I bound myself to!?
Vegeta continued to look down at her, studying her. Kenya watched him, another smile appearing on her face. The prince seemed to snap out of his musings, studying her for another second before turning, keeping a hold on her hand as they made their way down to breakfast.
They all noticed as the prince kept looking at Kenya. But not the way they figured he would. These glances were filled with confusion and puzzlement, sometimes his eyes would widen and he would blink at her for a moment, before looking away. No one said anything though, they understood why he was acting like that. They noticed it too. This Kenya was not the same one that died a year ago. This one was different, more carefree. More...happy! They all watched, sneaking glances at her as she beamed at them, throwing her head back when she thought something was funny, even putting her arms around Bulma and Chi-Chi, stating they should have a girls' night! Everyone looked at each other in confusion, the fighters studying Goku's sister as she smiled, her eyes lighting up before she left the room for a moment. They all watched her, turning their heads and looking at Vegeta, then Goku. Both men were obviously confused too.
"What's going on with her?" Piccolo asked, his eyes narrowing on the door that Kenya passed through a few moments ago.
No one said anything. They didn't know. Goku slowly stood up as they heard her coming back, the door opening as she stepped through. She noticed everyone staring at her. She smiled.
"Hey guys!"
"Alright! That's it!" Bulma said loudly. She sat her cup down with a bang, striding up to Goku's sister, putting her hands on her hips as she stopped in front of her. They watched Kenya watch her, amusement in her eyes. "What's going on with you!?" Bulma demanded, narrowing her eyes.
Everyone watched as Kenya gently smiled. She blinked at the blue haired woman, raising a brow. "What are you talking about?" she asked softly.
"Now see," Bulma said loudly, "The Kenya we knew wouldn't say that! She would have told us to mind our own damn business, demanded for us to stop staring at her, and would have told us off with a smirk on her face," she finished, her voice raising slightly at the end.
They watched as the woman in front of Bulma softly chuckled, crossing her arms and pressing her lips together for a moment. "Okay, hows this!?" she murmured, and before everyone's eyes, her face hardened.
"Mind your own fucking business, stop gaping at me like a bunch of idiots, and go sit your ass down and leave me alone!"
Everyone gaped at her as she continued to glare at Bulma, her golden eyes snapping. Bulma took a step back, swallowing. The hard look fell off Kenya's face as she snorted with laughter.
"You should have seen the look on your faces!" Kenya cracked up, bursting out laughing as they all stared at her.
She suddenly threw an arm around the blue haired woman, smiling. "I love you Bulma, you know that!" They listened to her crack up a second time, before walking outside to the patio.
The fighters saw Vegeta move. They all glanced at him as he slowly stood. His face had a perplexed look on it. He stared at the door Kenya disappeared thru, before turning and walking out of the room. He didn't say anything. Goku soon followed him.
It was quiet as they watched Kenya out on the patio, her head resting on her hands as she laied them on the table. She seemed to be studying the sky, her face clear of any emotion. Her golden hair fluttered in the breeze, her tail flicking behind her. Everyone soon convened to where Goku and Vegeta disappeared to, as perplexed as the prince. They headed for the stairs. The group could hear Vegeta shouting before they got halfway up.
"That's not her, Kakkarot! Goddammit, that's not my mate!"
They heard Goku mumble something, then a crash.
"Of course it's not good! How can it be good when THAT'S NOT HER!"
The group looked at one another, then at Vegeta's bedroom door. They all jumped as something crashed against the door. Silence rendered the air as they waited to hear what the men were saying.
"I don't know what's wrong with her Vegeta," Goku stated, seeming to be right on the other side of the wall. A beat of silence reached their ears before he spoke again. "Do you think," Goku paused, seeming to hesitate. "It might be for the best?"
Gohan and Yamcha widened their eyes, glancing at one another. They knew the prince would not be happy with that statement. The others stared at the door. A roar pierced the air. Bulma and Chi-Chi screamed.
"HOW THE HELL IS IT FOR THE BEST KAKKAROT!? TELL ME! BECAUSE I DON'T SEE NO FUCKING SILVER LINING IN THIS!"
Goku mumbled something, the group slowly backing away as they felt Vegeta's anger intensify.
"What?" Vegeta shouted, "What did you just say!?"
Chi-Chi and Bulma shook their heads. "Don't do it Goku! Don't do it!"
"How come you don't want her to be happy?"
They scrambled to the stairs as Goku spoke, gulping as silence filled the hallway. The door shattered a moment later as Goku was flung through it. He flew over the railing, wood and splinters going everywhere. They all watched him stop himself, glaring into the hole his body made in the doorway. Vegeta stepped out, his eyes snapping. They watched the two saiyans glare at each other, a little afraid that they were going to kill one another.
"What's going on?"
They all looked down. Kenya stood among the shattered pieces of wood, gazing in curiosity from Goku to Vegeta. A small smile appeared on her lips. The group at the stairs looked to Vegeta, noticing he was studying Kenya intently, his hands clenched at his sides.
"You're not my mate," he stated, glaring down at the female saiyan.
Gasps emitted from the group, as they looked down at Kenya. She raised a brow, a bemused expression on her face. She tilted her head a little before speaking.
"Why do you say that?" she asked, seeming unaffected by the statement.
They looked back at Vegeta. He curled his lip. "Your attitude!" he snapped, his incisors flashing.
Kenya blinked, a few brows raising as her face remained emotionless. "Didn't know you wanted me to be miserable."
Their eyes widened, looking back at Vegeta. His eyes were wide as well, staring at the woman on the landing below, before a snarl ripped from his throat.
Goku landed beside his sister, laying a hand on her shoulder. She blinked at Vegeta, before turning. A smile appeared on her face at the sight of her brother. Her face seemed open, unconcerned about the angry prince above her. Goku sent her a small smile, looking at her in confusion. He hesitated a moment before speaking.
"Kenya," he paused, glancing up at Vegeta before looking back at his sisters' open expression. "What's going on with you?"
Her brows furrowed gently. "What do you mean?" she asked softly, a small smile on her face.
"That's what I mean," he stated, watching as his sister looked at him in slight confusion.
"What?"
"Why are you so...happy? Not that I don't want you to be, it's just..." he paused again, studying his sisters' face. "You weren't like this before." he finished softly.
They all waited for Kenya to speak as she studied her brother. "Before what?" she asked, unconsciously rubbing her hands together. Everyone noticed the nervous gesture.
"You don't remember?" Goku asked softly, not taking his eyes off her face.
Her hands seemed to rub faster, her gaze never leaving her brothers. They all watched her hands as they seemed to rub harder together, her knuckles turning white.
"I don't know what your talking about," Kenya stated, her voice cracking a little. The group watched as her fingers curled, her hands slowly balling into fists at her sides. The muscles in her arms started jumping. They swallowed, their eyes widening.
Vegeta stepped forward. "Kakkarot," he warned, but the man ignored him as he laied a hand on Kenya's shoulder, narrowing his eyes on her face.
"Sis," he paused. "You died, remember?"
It was silent for a moment, before the woman in front of Goku growled, her hair lifting as static raced down it. A tear trailed down her face as rage emitted from her. Her head flew back as she screamed, a boom echoing as her power engulfed her. Goku got knocked back, slamming through the wall behind him. He disappeared. The group at the top of the stairs got knocked back as well, the men catching the women as they flew through the walls, landing outside the house. They set Bulma and Chi-Chi down, before racing back through the hole on the side of the house. Vegeta hadn't moved from his spot at the railing. They saw his feet slid back for a moment before he gritted his teeth, and he stopped. Kenya continued to scream, her voice echoing on itself as she powered up even more. She suddenly stopped, her head snapping forward as she opened her eyes. They glowed for a few minutes, before her hair lengthened. The fighter's eyes widened. Another burst of power swirled around her as she started screaming.
"YOU COULDN'T LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE, COULD YOU BROTHER!? YOU JUST HAD TO KEEP PUSHING," she started slowly walking forward, towards the hole Goku made. "AND PUSHING. YOU WEREN'T SATISFIED WITH ME BEING HAPPY! WERE YOU!? I FINALLY CAME TO TERMS WITH EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE!" They watched her throw her head back, the muscles in her throat working as she screamed to the top of her lungs. "AND YOU HAD TO FUCK... IT...UP!"
Vegeta jumped over the railing, landing on the floor below as he studied Kenya. He started walking towards her. She jerked her head towards him.
"LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE VEGETA! REMEMBER? I'M NOT YOUR GOD DAMN MATE! LEAVE ME ALONE! LEAVE ME ALONE!
LEAVE ME ALOOOOONNNNEEE!" Kenya threw her head back and screamed again, before rushing towards Goku as he appeared. They both crashed through the kitchen wall, going straight through to the brick, landing hard on the ground outside with a huge bang. Everyone rushed after them, listening as a fight started before they made it outside. Goku and Kenya were going at each other fiercely, both snarling and growling loudly as the sound of flesh being pounded reached everyone's ears. The women raced around the house, stopping short at the sight of the siblings' fighting.
"Get them out of here!" Vegeta shouted at Yamcha and Tien, pointing to the women. They had just enough time to catch a glimpse of Kenya's face before they were each flown safely out of there. The women looked at each other, shivering a little at the contorted rage on the young woman's face.
The men watched, grim faced, as brother and sister continued to fight, neither holding back. A body suddenly slammed the ground, the sounds of fists pounding into flesh reached them as the dust cleared. Kenya was floating inches above Goku, fiercely ramming her fists into his stomach and chest, relentless as she seemed not to give him time to breathe. The fighters felt Goku's energy increase as he became enraged. He yelled, knocking Kenya away from him as he powered up, his hair shooting passed his waist. His sister seemed unfazed as she glared at him, letting out a yell and following him. Their eyes widened. Goku's did as well. Apparently she hadn't been sitting on her ass in the afterlife. She disappeared, appearing behind Goku and slamming a foot in his back. He went flying, turning and stopping himself with a shout. His sister was right there seconds later, slamming her fist into his jaw, following him back, kicking him in the stomach and slamming a palm into his chest. He grabbed her wrist, yanking her forward as he planted a fist into her stomach, smacking her back with an elbow. She went flying down, landing on her feet with a bang, only to disappear again. She appeared in front of Goku, her hand inches from his face as she blasted. Goku went yelling back, lifting his arms and throwing the blast into space. She was right there, throwing a punch at his face. He grabbed her fist, tightening his hold as she snarled, bringing a leg forward to kick him. He blocked it, backhanding her across the face, watching as she fell to the ground, smacking the earth. The dirt cracked under her, but she shot back up again, throwing punches and kicks at her brother ruthlessly. They could see the rage in her eyes, the irises almost encompassing the pupils, turning her eyes almost completely black. Her hair lifted with her rage, static clinging down the mass of hair as there seemed to be no end to her brutality. She pushed her brother back as her speed seemed to increase, the fury coming off her was burning. He got a punch in, Kenya's body went flying through the air, smashing into one of the buildings on the property. It exploded within seconds, the woman flying out and racing towards her brother. Her hair lifted in suspension for a moment, before another burst of energy engulfed her, her power increasing again. Goku watched, powering up as well. The ground started coming apart as their powers continued to rise, the earth cracking, lightening suddenly streaked the sky. With a scream, Kenya flung her head back, her form glowing for a moment before slowly dissipating. Goku followed suit, yelling, head thrown back as his own power surrounded him.
"They're gonna tear the fucking planet apart!" Vegeta shouted, watching the siblings.
They all started backing up as the ground started giving away, the surrounding buildings slowly crumbling as power touched them. Both fighters stopped screaming at the same time, their powers meeting for a second before a sonic boom shifted the air, a massive crater appearing under them. The siblings rushed each other at the same time, both flying back as they connected, meeting again and again. A boom sounded every time, making the fighters on the ground wince as they tried to follow the fight. The two were going too fast. They glanced at Vegeta, noticing his face was grim, his hands balled into fists at his sides. He seemed to be watching Kenya.
There was sudden silence.
They looked up, searching for a moment before finding the two way up in the sky. The men's eyes widened. Goku had his hand around Kenya's throat, a blast that they all knew would kill her inches from her face. Kenya didn't move, her tail slapping the air behind her as she glared in outrage at her brother. She suddenly grabbed Goku's arm, thrusting the ball against her. Goku's eyes widened, along with everyone else. A boom rendered the air, Kenya's body encased in the ball of energy for a moment before it faded. She flew towards the ground after Goku let her go, her body making a massive crater as she connected with the ground. The wind and lightening faded, the sky clearing to a bright blue within minutes. No one moved as Goku landed beside the indention in the earth. They saw him pause for a moment, before powering down, slowly walking into the crater. He flew out moments later, Kenya in his arms. Her hair was back to normal, a shiny black that matched her brothers'. He passed them, not saying anything as he disappeared into the house. They all hesitated, before following him as he went to Kenya's room, gently laying her down on the bed. Vegeta stepped forward, studying the woman for a moment before looking at Goku.
"What was that about?" he whispered, watching Goku's face harden.
"Pent up rage," Goku stated, meeting the prince's gaze.
They both looked at his sister, Goku reaching out and smoothing away stray hairs from her face, her chest rising and falling gently. Vegeta stayed beside the bed as everyone filed out, staying just on the other side of the threshold, just in case.
He jerked awake in the chair, looking around in confusion for a moment before remembering he was in Kenya's room. Kenya! Vegeta's gaze went to the bed, his body relaxing when he saw her laying there, in the same position Goku put her in hours before. Her face was still turned towards the wall, her arms at her sides as she continued to breath slowly in and out on her back. Vegeta slowly got up, his eyes never moving from his mate's profile. A sob reached his ears. He listened again, the sound so soft he thought he imagined it. The noise came again. From the bed. Vegeta walked towards Kenya, looking down at her as he reached the side of the mattress. Tears streaked down her face, her eyes staying focused on the wall.
"Where's Goku?"
Vegeta jerked to attention at her whispered question. He studied her for a moment before answering.
"Kakkarot's probably asleep Kenya. It's the middle of the night," he softly explained, listening as the soft sobs abruptly stopped.
"Bring him here."
"Kenya-"
"Bring him here," she repeated, not looking at him. She didn't move, her voice devoid of emotion.
Vegeta studied her, before slowly turning and making his way to the door. Kenya's voice stopped him in the doorway.
"And Vegeta," she said softly. He looked back at her, watching as she slowly turned her head, staring at him for a moment, before speaking again.
"Don't come back."
His eyes widened. He stared at her in surprise, before narrowing his eyes. He went out the door, closing it softly behind him. The prince didn't say anything.
Goku got out of bed as someone knocked on his door. His eyebrows rose at the sight of Vegeta on the other side. The man's face was hard.
"Your sister wants you," the prince stated quietly before turning and leaving. Goku watched his back disappear down the stairs, before quickly dressing and making his way to his sister's room.
He knocked softly, pushing the door open a little and looking in. He watched Kenya slowly look over at him, her face blank. He opened the door wider, slipping through and closing it softly behind him. He stayed there, studying his sister for a few minutes. She stared back, her face and eyes devoid of emotion. Goku slowly walked forward, sitting in the chair recently occupied by the prince, resting his elbows on his knees as he waited for his sister to talk. The silence lengthened as she stared blankly at the ceiling. Goku sighed.
"Kenya?" he said softly. The woman didn't move.
"Look," he started, "I don't know what's-"
"Do you know," she cut him off, her soft voice echoing through the room. "That when I died, I killed someone else too?" she whispered, still staring above her.
Goku studied his sister, confusion appearing on his face. "What are you talking about Kenya?"
The silence was deafening when she didn't say anything. There was a whirring sound outside, and Goku's head jerked towards the balcony. He looked back at his sister quickly, and after she gave no indication that she was getting up, he jumped up, quickly walking to the railing. He looked out.
One of Bulma's space pods was lit up, the door lifted as the light inside shown out. He watched as someone stepped towards it, pausing for a moment. They looked towards him. Goku sucked in a breath as light lit half the prince's face, before he looked away, stepping into the round pod and closing the door. Within minutes he was gone. Goku watched in disbelief as the pod faded out of sight as it blasted towards space, a pinprick of light shining brightly before disappearing. He stood there in shock for awhile, before looking back to his sister laying in the bed. She hadn't moved. Gave no emotion showing that she knew Vegeta had left, just stared at the ceiling. Goku slowly came back into the room, walking back up to his sister.
"Kenya-"
"Do you want to know who I killed when I erupted with power, killing myself?"
His sister cut him off, finally looking over at him with an emotionless face. They stared at one another, before Goku pulled the chair forward, sitting beside the bed.
"Dobora, the red demon," he stated, watching as she shook her head. She suddenly grabbed his hand, her grip crushing. Tears filled her eyes as she choked back a sob.
"My baby," she whispered.
Goku sucked in a breath, his eyes widening. He watched as a tortured look entered her eyes, and she erupted with sobs, her body shaking. He grabbed her, pulling her onto his lap. He rested his chin on the top of her head as his arms went around her, listening to her heartbreaking cries. He rocked his sister, pushing her hair out of her face as she clutched his shirt. He continued to rock her as the sky lightened, the beginning rays seeping into the room as her cries slowly died, her body going slack after awhile as she fell asleep. Goku continued to rock her, staring at the wall, deep in thought.
Chi-Chi and Bulma found him, hours later, still holding his sister to him as she slept. He had stopped rocking hours ago, keeping his arms wrapped around the saiyan woman. His wife and friend studied them, noticing Kenya's tear stained face, and the heartbroken look in Goku's eyes. He vaguely looked at them as they silently walked in, before looking forward again, not saying anything. He had an arm wrapped around Kenya's back as she sat sideways in his lap, the other cupping her head. He shook his head, frowning, when they softly asked him if he wanted anything to eat. The two women quickly left, studying the closed door for a moment before slowly walking away, looking at each other.
Her brother was still holding her when she woke up. Her throat was still thick with tears, and she tried to tamp them down. She didn't move, just continued to lean against her brother as another sob shook her. His arms tightened, but didn't say anything. Kenya slowly looked up after awhile, noticing the broken look in her brother's eyes, closing her own in pain. She felt the rumble in his chest as he softly spoke.
"Does Vegeta know?" he whispered, swallowing.
He felt her move her head as she shook it. Goku thought about what he saw last night, deciding to wait until later to tell his sister.
"How," Goku paused, clenching his jaw for a moment. "How did you find out?"
It was silent in the room for several minutes.
He heard her sigh after awhile, the sound of her throat working loud in the room. "I..." her breath hitched, before she sucked in a breath. "I found out right before I came back," she stated softly. Goku waited, feeling her tense for a moment. Her voice was low as she continued.
"King Yemma told me when I came back to the check in station." She paused, licking her lips. "He..." There was silence for a moment. "He didn't know that I didn't know about the baby," she whispered. "He was just letting me know that, of course, the baby went to heaven, and that it would be alright, but what he didn't realize is..." Goku listened as his sister sobbed into her hands, her tears soaking his shirt as her heart broke. "He crushed my world!" she cried out, closing her eyes and going limp in his arms. Goku swallowed, rubbing his sister's back as she broke down.
"Oh God!"
Kenya suddenly straightened, her gaze going around the room.
"What is it Kenya?" he asked softly, watching his sisters' throat work as she surveyed the room again.
"Where's Vegeta!?"
Kenya looked at him as he stayed silent. "Where's Vegeta?" she demanded, her voice a little steadier. Goku looked away for a moment, before looking down at her in regret.
"He's gone."
Kenya's eyes widened. "What do you mean, gone!?" she cried, scrambling off him, standing as her breathing became labored. Goku stood, hesitating before telling her the truth. His voice was gentle as it reached her ears.
"Vegeta took a space pod last night, and left, Kenya."
He watched his sister's eyes widen even more, before she sat, clutching her chest. A sob escaped. "It's all my fault!"
"What-"
"I told him to leave the room and not come back," she cried, cutting him off. "But," she paused, taking a breath. "He must have took it the wrong way! Oh God!"
"I was only talking about last night!"
Goku watched his sister as her breathing became erratic. He hugged her, her body limp in his arms.
"I was only talking about last night," she cried again, her voice muffled against his shoulder. Her hands clenched around his shirt, her body shaking after a few minutes. Goku didn't let go, just hugged her harder as her heart broke for a second time that day.
