Frieza

Rei was laying on her stomach, hurting bad. If she had known things would be this hard, she would have taken memory loss. However, letting Usagi down, hurt her more than the injuries she was substaining from Bardock or Eclipse. Haruka was having a hard time to, as each blow she tried to aim at Eclipse was blocked and countered. The only credit you could give her, was the fact she didn't give up.

Prince Vegeta had come in and watched them train and admired the determination that Mars continued to display. There were cuts on her lips, arms and face, but she always stood back up and got ready for another round. The final blow came when Bardock made a fake for her stomach, but faded behind her and hit her on the back of the neck, knocking her completely out. "How much work does she need?"

"A lot. From my point of view, she would be lucky to make it past round one, let alone the whole tournament. She shouldn't do this and let everyone else handle it."

"That's not an option. If she ever wishes to reclaim her birth right, she must make it past round two and I will make sure that she does."

"Your highness, are you sure you don't want us to handle this?" Bardock asked.

"I'm positive, but I would like to know where Usagi is? I see Rei, Hotaru, who's still standing, and Haruka, who's barely conscious."

"I'm not sure. She went for a walk, but I thought she would be back by now."

"Send her to me when you see her." Vegeta picked up Rei and walked out of the training room. She was out of the regeration tank within an hour and looked at Vegeta in confusion.

"Why am I not with the others still?"

"Do you have a problem with me training you? Or do you wish to fail during the Arena? Rena said you only had to make it past round two, but at the rate you're going, you won't even make it a second into one."

"Thank you for the vote of confidence. I have more training to do, if you're done joking around." Vegeta's tail grabbed Rei's leg and tripped her. "What are you doing?"

Vegeta laughed as he picked her up off the ground and drug her with his tail until she got the idea that she wasn't going anywhere but with him to train. "No more arguments. I am you trainer for the next three months and if you don't like it, you can quit." He let her go and turned around to face her, his arms crossed and an expression made of steel.

Rei didn't know what to say. She could tell by looking at him, that he would be a lot harder on her than Bardock or Eclipse could ever be. "I'm not quitting. I don't care if I die in the process, but to quit now is the same as saying I'm a failure to the Sailor Senshi and I have never given up."

She backed up as he advanced, a blank expression on his face. "That's not exactly true, now is it? You gave up once and if Usagi had not jumped the cliff to save you, you wouldn't be standing here discussing the issue. I'm not going to have a coward training under me or any other Saiya-jin."

Anger surfaced in Rei for the first time in several years as she stepped into a fighting stance. "I may not have done the right things, but don't you ever call me a coward again. You should talk, because you tried to do the same thing."

"I'm not answering questions, I'm asking them?" Vegeta shouted.

"Well, then you can have the same questions back, because I'm not answering unless you do." Rei tried swinging a kick at him, but he ducked and grabbed her other leg and dropped her down on her back.

"You seem to be in this postion a lot." His hand remained on her leg, while his body pressed forward pinning her securely. "Can you get out of it though?" Rei tried, but the more she struggled the harder he pressed on her leg, making her uncomfortable. Her hair was splaid behind her, and he thought of a black raven. "You need to learn how to block better?" His hand moved up her thigh, to her stomach and stopped. His eyes focused on her mouth and a strange feeling swept over Vegeta that he thought he had forgotten.

"What are you doing?" Rei asked him.

"I figured that was obvious. You left your guard down, and I took advantage of it."

"Then why haven't you picked yourself back up?"

"I told you why. Throw me off."

Rei felt every muscle in his body as it pressed down on her. "You know I'm not strong enough to do that yet. Alright, I agree to train under you, but you're going to have to teach me what you want to know, not beat me to death and expect me to learn from it."

"Why not? That's how I learned from Frieza and his men."

"You're not Frieza."

Vegeta wanted to do more than pin her down, but he pulled himself up and yanked her along with him. "We'll continue tomorrow and you better pay attention to what I show you, because I won't repeat myself."

Rei allowed herself to breathe as Vegeta walked away and she sank on a nearby chair. "He's confusing. I never know what his intentions are."

*In the Present*

Ami grunted as Gohan managed to spin her around and kick her in the ribs. Bra was lying on her back, still recovering from the last sparring session and wondered when lunch time was. Ami held her side, panting as she watched her trainer come up to her slowly. Closing her eyes, she waited for the blow to come, but a tail wrapped around her arm and helped her back up. "Better, but you still leave yourself open after I punch and you block it. You need to come up with another attack after you block, because the enemy never stops at just a single attack."

He left her standing there to pick Bra up from the ground. "I didn't say you can rest. We still have a few hours of fighting left, and we won't stop until I'm ready to eat."

"Awww, Gohan... You've never pushed me this hard before. Why now?"

"Because the enemy won't care if you're young or old. You're related to Vegeta and the enemy has something against him and my family. Now get back up, because we don't have the time to be goofing off."

Ami wanted to say something about that, but kept her mouth shut. "Let's do it again and this time block and counter."

Trunks was fighting with Pan as Minako was sleeping off her last sparring session with him. She hated doing all this training, but being the leader of the four senshi, did not give her the option to say no. Trunks was finding that Pan was a fast learner and getting harder to outsmart. "Not bad Pan but," Trunks dropped and spun his foot in a sweep to knock her down, "you don't ever look at your feet."

"Can we do it again?" Pan started attacking him again and he could only laugh at the amount of energy she had to give. Like her father, Pan hated giving up and loved to give all her effort. With a surprise move, she rolled past Trunks and grabbed his tail from behind. "I did it! You left your tail to where I could get it!"

Trunks growled at the pain shooting through his tail, but tried to ignore it. "Great job Pan, but let go."

"What do I get if I do?"

"A bigger lunch."

"Yeah! Can I see Bra today? I miss her."

"Not yet. We have to wait until her training is done, but knowing her, Gohan is probably still trying to get her to quit being lazy. Father always did spoil her to much."

"He likes her because she's not a boy and she gives him kisses everyday."

The idea of his father getting a bunch of kisses was too much for Trunks and he bowled over laughing. "That, I wish I could have gotten a picture of. Father would never allow us to see that."

"Why are you laughing at Geta?" Pan asked putting her hands on her hips. "He makes us cookies all the time and tells us bed time stories about his home planet before it got hit by a big rock."

Trunks quit laughing and looked at the eight-year-old. "Is that what he told you two?"

"Yes."

'Why didn't father tell you two the truth?'

Minako moaned and sat back up rubbing her head. "What hit me?"

"I did, when you jumped up into my kick instead of ducking. How many times do I have to tell you Minako? You duck when I kick, and jump when I sweep."

"That's too much for me to remember."

Trunks hit his forehead and sighed. "Honestly, I wonder how you ever made it into high school let alone college. Your attention span is horrible."

"I have enough attention to know you're a jerk. I'll train myself." Minako started to storm off, when Trunks grabbed both her arms and pulled her close to him.

"I may be a jerk, but I at least know what this enemy is capable of. I've fought enemies where they've destroyed this planet and killed everyone that we cared about most. Granted with a few things we know about, they came back to life, but it hurt none the less. What would you feel if you didn't put everything you had into this training and everyone you are responsible for dies? Trust me, you don't want that on your conscious."

"You think I don't know that. We're fighters, but we have never learned how to fight to the caliber you and the other ones like you have. We use magic and you use martial arts and some light shows."

"They're not light shows Minako and you could do the same thing if you concentrated hard enough and focused on the task at hand."

"Are you being nice? I haven't heard you talk this much since I came in here with you."

"Call it encouragment if you like. I'm not allowing you to walk off, so get back into a fighting stance and try that exercise again." This time, when Trunks kicked at her head she ducked and then jumped when he dropped back down to sweep and to his surprise she did a move of her own and kicked him in the face when he was coming back up. It barely phased him, but he was surprised she got the combination right and countered with a move of her own. "Do it again. And this time I'm not going so easy on you." Minako nodded and they went at it again.

Goten was training Makoto and the little girl named Usagi. It was funny that she was named after her mother and told them to call her Rini instead so that they wouldn't get them confused. The two picked up lessons fast, mainly because of their Saiya-jin blood and found himself hard pressed as Makoto kept pushing the edge. She never played offensive and this was her major weakness. He would let her attack him all out for hours if necessary and begin striking back when she was too tired to continue. After about a month, she started figuring this out and started to conserve her energy more and wait for her opponent to make his moves.

Rini had a photographic memory and didn't need to be told more than once how to do something. What suprised Goten, was she already knew a lot of the basics and her powers would burst forth when she was pressed into a corner. He had never seen anything like it and one day a pink tail appeared and this confused him. In his entire life, he had never seen a tail of that color, but Trunks had a purple one, while his sister had a blue one. One day when he was trying to throw a blast at her, she jumped over it, sommer saulted and landed on the top of his head laughing. "You missed me, Goten." He would try and grab her, but she would slide off his back and run into the mist playing hide and seek. If it was one thing she was good at it was hiding. She learned this from the dark moon.

After lunch, Makoto and Rini both came up with a plan to outsmart Goten. When Goten hit Makoto in the arm, she knelt down and started to cry at the top of her lungs, making Goten feel like the worse person in the world and tried to look at her arm. At the last minute, she yelled for Rini to make her move and Goten was hit in the head by a foot, while Makoto tackled him to the ground and sat on his waist.

"Al right!" Rini shouted.

"Now what?" Makoto asked.

"No more mister nice guy with you girls," Goten shouted rolling over and pinning both of them down with each arm. "Nice tactics, but you don't shout al right when you have them down. You finish them off."

"We could have done that, but we didn't want to kill you."

"Give me a break! You couldn't hurt me if you wanted to. I'm hungry!" He let off of them and they shook their heads and prayed that they ate before they attacked the enemy or they would all be doomed.

Ryoga thought that fighting with these weirdos would be a waist of his time, but five minutes with Piccolo had his blood burning for more and he started putting more effort into trying to beat the Namek. In all his travels of being lost, he had never been able to defeat Ranma in battle. Just once, he would love to be able to defeat the idiot and say he was the strongest of the two. Unlike the other trainers, Piccolo held nothing back against his pupils and often knocked them all out, but the half Saiya-jin. This one surprised him, because he often got back up after each beating and attacked like he was fresh. Something about the time guardian's blood was healing him at a much faster rate than normal.

Endymion wasn't allowed to fight with his sword, taken by the time guardian the first day. Michuru would often try and help him back up and he would look at her greatfully. "Get back up both of you!" Two ki blasts came rushing at them, making them dodge or spend another day recovering. They knew better than to stop and count their blessings and the three of them attacked Piccolo trying to beat him.

He split into three forms, taking on all three of them. "Not good," Endymion shouted. When a blast was about to hit him, someone threw themself on top of him and took it full blast. "What?" He turned around and saw Michuru unconscious and badly burnt. "Oh god. He gently laid her on her stomach and left her back exposed so it didn't touch the ground. Taking his hands, he placed them over her, and used his natural healing abilities and started to fix the burns on her. "Come on Michuru."

When she opened her eyes, she saw the worried ones of Mamoru and smiled warmly at him. "Thank you. You know, despite how you hurt kitten, you're still a nice guy."

"I never meant to hurt her. Can you go on?"

"Sure. Watch your back next time?"

"Let me take it next time. Haruka wouldn't be happy if you killed yourself for me."

*In the Past*

Usagi woke up nearly screaming as she witnessed a nightmare she didn't think was possible. Loneliness was all around her, with no family around to hug, no one to claim her as her own. The more she dreamed, the more she realized it wasn't her she saw, but a small little boy. Years would pass, when he found out the only family he had was from a race of killers that tried to destroy everything that he cared about. 'What is going on with me?' She got out of bed, but felt dizzy and cold. Ignoring it, she took a shower and tried to shake the disturbing thoughts from her mind. 'I hope I'm not going crazy.' Walking to a mirror, she noticed that the mark was fading fast and you couldn't see it by first glancing at her. Not taking any chances, she picked up the armor that covered her neck and put it back on. "I wish they had sweaters. I'm so cold."

Walking out of her room, she met Eclipse and the other women in the waiting room joining all their rooms together. "What happened yesterday, Usagi?" Hotaru asked. "We kept expecting you to show up, but you never did."

"I slept all night. I didn't mean too." More things were running through her mind, of a little boy, a young man and then one with a family. 'Why won't she like me?'

Eclipse noticed something odd about Usagi, that the other girls didn't recognize. "Are you alright Usagi?"

"I'm fine. A little dizzy and very cold, but I think with a little exercise I'll be fine." Haruka came up behind her and felt her forehead and gasped.

"She's burning up. Maybe you should go back to bed."

"I said no."

"Your brother wants to see you, Usagi."

As if on cue, Prince Vegeta walked into the room, with a very tired Rei behind him. "Where have you been Usagi? I waited all day yesterday and today to see you."

"Sorry. I'm around now, so what do you want." That wasn't the kind of response he was expecting from her. His whole body went rigid as he took one look at her.

"Is there something we should know, Usagi?"

"Like what?"

"Did Kakarot do anything to you?"

"Well he kissed me, but we stopped that and went our separate ways."

"That's not all he did. Why the long neck armor?"

"I'm cold. And he did nip me a bit hard, but not hard enough to mark me."

"It doesn't matter how hard he nipped. Did he draw blood?"

"Yes, but what has that got to do with anything? I don't think he meant to, because he was as stunned as I was when that happened. One minute we're fighting with each other, and the next he's kissing me and I let him. I don't understand all the questions. My head hurts and I'm going to get something to eat." They let her walk out of the room, leaving everyone but Eclipse wondering why Vegeta was giving her the third degree.

"Vegeta, you're going to have to keep an eye on her. She doesn't know what's going on and it's going to make her go crazy. Wait until she asks what's going on, but let her know that she has someone to turn to when the time comes."

"Your majesty, what is happening to kitten?"

"There's a partial bond between Kakarot and Usagi now. It's only one sided or she wouldn't be feeling like she does right now. Excuse me, I'm going to kill someone."

"Wait, Vegeta! If you harm Kakarot now, you might as well hurt Usagi yourself. He won't know he did this and if you tell him, it would only encourage him to seek her out and finish the bond. It's apparent she didn't bite him back or there would be no way you would have seen her this morning. The same goes for the rest of you. Do not mention a word of this bond to Kakarot. Usagi needs to figure it out on her own, but there's no way we can undo it. I just hope for their sake, that Kakarot can pass every trial in order to have her, or she's going to suffer for it."

Vegeta growled in irritation. Mostly at himself. He had underestimated Kakarot's Saiya-jin instinct and it made things more difficult. He walked after Usagi, thinking of a way to hurt Kakarot without hurting his sister. He couldn't think of any except keep her away from him until after the Arena. He found her sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, rubbing some sleep out of her eyes and shaking like a leaf. "Mind if I sit down." She must have been deep in thought for her to jump as high as she did.

"Hi Geta. I don't mind."

"I thought you were hungry."

"I thought so too, but I'm not now. Can we train now?"

"Yes. Rei won't be training for a couple of hours, so that leaves us plenty of time."

After three hours of sparring, the two of them sat down for a break and talked some more. "You obviously don't need training in the basics. How long did it take you to surpass your teachers?"

"Not long at all. At first it was hard, because I couldn't do a push-up or sit-up. Everyday I would come in and I would be able to do twice as much as the day before. I worked on a ranch and that helped with building my strength up as well. I thought it was because I was exercising, but it couldn't explain the times when I would start lifting over 300lbs after only a month of martial arts training and working on the farm. After a year, I had to find other styles to combine with the one I was already taking, because it didn't phase me any longer."

"That was your saiya-jin blood running through your veins. The more you train, the stronger you become. Another thing that you should keep in mind, is each time you get hurt or have a near death expierence you become even more powerful. How do you think Kakarot and myself have become so strong? We've both died twice, and come close to it several times."

"You're fighting me at a low level, aren't you?"

"Yes. Any stronger and I could seriously hurt you. Maybe in about another month I can start training with you at a Super Saiya-jin level, but not until I've sparred with you every day. You can't miss out at all Rena if you want to be able to fight Kakarot. He's set on mating with you, and I can't change his mind, nor do I have the power to beat him."

"I can't believe you admitted that."

"Rena, if you dare tell anyone what I just said, I'll change my mind about fighting with you at full power."

"Don't worry Geta. Everyone already knows that you're a nice guy."

"I'll show you a nice guy." Vegeta pounced Usagi and started tickling her without mercy making her scream and thrash trying to get away from him. "Take it back, or I'm not going to stop."

"Alright! You're not a nice guy, you're a great guy!"

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Vegeta tickled her for several minutes before he decided she had had enough. When he helped her up, an alarm sounded that made both their tails bristle and to break out in a run towards the throne room. "Rena, remember he is to know nothing about us coming from the future. If he found out he would destroy us by killing our past selves."

"I'll remember. Do you think the others will be there?"

"If I know Kakarot, yes. I don't know about my mother right, because she wasn't alive when Frieza came last time and my father was at the point of not caring about anything. That might have been why he gave into his demands so easily and by the time he wanted to do anything, he couldn't because we were in to deep."

"Pluto is going to be angry with us for changing history."

"I don't really care. Maybe it will turn out better for everyone if we defeat Frieza now instead of fourty-years after the destruction of my homeworld. I've made another decision as well. I want to be around when Kakarot is born, because I think his tests were wrong. There's no way a third class saiya-jin could have been as powerful as he has become."

"How would you be able to tell?"

"When Kakarot is calm, you can barely feel his power level, but give him a reason, his power flucuates to levels that no one can imagine. What if he was masking his power level without realizing it when he was born? According to another Saiya-jin we happened to cross paths with, told me that his son went crazy being around Kakarot for some reason, and if that's true, that will be my test to find out how powerful Kakarot really is."

"Do you always think things out Geta?"

"I had no choice growing up, because if I only looked at the short term of everything, I would have been killed a lot sooner. Frieza was always looking for a reason for me to mess up and I had to be more cunning than him. It wasn't easy with an idiot like Nappa that lost his head over every comment. Raditz was fairly intelligent and I had to admit I liked him over Nappa any time. The only reason he beat Nappa is because the elite soilder didn't think." They made it to the throne room and noticed that everyone was gathered around the throne except for Eclipse. "Where's my mother?"

"She's in the room taking care of the twins. I won't let Frieza find out about them if I can help it. I don't know how he found out about him to begin with, but he won't this time."

Bardock walked in with three people behind him and he looked like he wanted to tear them apart already. "Your majesty, I would like to present Frieza, the one in the center, Zarbon the tall green man on his left and Dodoria, the pink person on the right."

"Welcome to Vegeta-sai."

"The reputation of the strength on this planet has managed to grab my attention. Is it true that you claim to be one of the strongest warriors in the universe?"

"That's true for those we've faced. But, you and I both know that the universe is a big place and has creatures that we have never met."

Usagi and the other women around her despised Frieza after having him walk in the room. Even Beryl seemed like an Angel compared to these three. Frieza had a pink tail and arms, a purple face and hands, with his head forming like a helmet with a red clear circle at the top of it and two horns sticking out the sides.

Frieza didn't expect such an answer, because his reputation had preceded him, and everyone who saw him, usually trembled in fear. Some of these Saiya-jins were afraid as he walked through the halls behind the general, but the group in the throne room remained calmed and focused on him. What had his attention, was a group of women surrounding one in particular, along with two Saiya-jins. The King had two generals on either side of him and the group protecting the blond woman, was surrounding the back side of the king. 'This is a strange group. It may not be easy to persuade them to do what I want.' "Do you mind if I look around?"

"No. Would you like an escort?"

"I can find my way around." Frieza exited the throne room and walked down the hallways putting everything into memory.

"What do you want us to do, your majesty?" Bardock asked.

King Vegeta sat thinking and then thought of something. Looking at Kakarot and his future son, he remembered a special ability they had. "Can you two hide your powers from them?"

"Yes. However, they won't be able to sense our energy without scouters and I didn't see any of those items on them."

"That's because we gave that technology to them. They may have figured it out on their own, but the Saiya-jins gave them a lot of power to do what they wanted throughout the universe."

"I want you two to follow Frieza's every move, but do what you think is necessary. If you say you can handle Frieza then I'm going to trust you on this. I had Bardock scan Frieza of his power level and so far I don't think he can be that big of a threat.

"Don't underestimate Frieza," Kakarot and Vegeta warned. "We've both fought him, and I am the only one that has fought Frieza in his fourth transformation. I'm not going to this time and if we have to interfere, it will be Vegeta to defeat him. It's his right and I have no reason to worry about him anymore." Kakarot and Vegeta walked out and easily kept up with the Ice-jin.

Eclipse didn't think that Frieza would be roaming the halls so she had her two babies in her arms and walking towards the cafeteria when she ran into three people she wasn't expecting. She tensed, but refused to show fear for any reason. 'Why were they walking around with out a Saiyan escort?'

Kakarot and Vegeta were hiding behind a wall and hissed in fear. If Frieza did anything to the children then it would be over for Prince Vegeta and Princess Hotaru of the future. "I have an idea. Play along with me, and I'm sure my mother will catch on with what I'm about to do." They stepped out from behind the wall and walked up to Eclipse who looked at them in relief. "What are you doing out?" Vegeta asked his mother and circling his arm around her waist.

She blinked at Vegeta surprised and confused, but one look at her told her to not go against what he was trying to do. "I was hungry so I went to get some food. I knew you were busy."

"These are your children?" Frieza asked him.

"Yes," Vegeta lied not breaking eye contact with him. Frieza was very good at detecting a lie, and he had to keep perfectly calm in order to pull off what he was attempting.

"They do resemble you. I was going to assume they were the King's children because they smell more like him, but like you as well. That's strange."

"That could be because the King is my younger brother."

Kakarot sweat dropped and couldn't believe how far Vegeta was going to fool Frieza. 'What are you up to Vegeta?'

Frieza looked at Kakarot and wondered if he was related to the Saiya-jin that led him to the throne room. "You're related to the one named Bardock?"

"Yes. He's my cousin." Kakarot picked up the little prince, while Vegeta took up the princess and they waited for Frieza to make his move. Moving in front of Eclipse, they made sure that she was well protected from any harm, and had no worries about keeping the twins safe.

Frieza wanted to know if the King had children and how strong they were, but seeing as how these two were, he would continue to look. He walked off, with Dodoria and Zarbon glaring at the Saiyans behind them. "They're hiding something Lord Frieza," Zarbon suggested.

"I know, but I can't catch them in the lie because they do smell like him. But, I'm almost certain those children are not his, but the kings."

"Why not make them tell? It would be fun and you would get the answers you want."

"Patience Zarbon. This race is different and I don't want to make a miscalculated move on them. They're bound to be other Saiya-jins out and I would like to get them in my military and on the same planet before I make the move to destroy them all at once. I don't need their kind of power running around the universe to one day rival mine."

"Lord Frieza, as if anyone could rival your power. We've already done a scan check on all the saiyans here and they don't come close to your power."

"Then tell me why those two Saiya-jins stared me in the eyes without flinching. They know something and I'm going to figure it out."

Frieza came back after about three hours of touring the castle, and what he saw made him growl in irritation. The women were sparring and the King would instruct them and occasionally join in to correct what they were doing wrong. Bardock was giving Haruka and Rei a severe workout while the King had taken on Usagi and Hotaru. When they saw who had come back in, they stopped and faced Frieza with little or no fear.

"Was everything to your satisfaction?"

"It was, but I have a few questions. Who does the twins belong too? I saw a woman that had children the resembled you and her."

"They're Geta's, the older brother of King Vegeta," Usagi said before her father could answer. He looked at her wondering why she had said that, but went with it and would ask her about it later.

Frieza was becoming angry, but he still couldn't catch them in the lie. "I have a proposition for you, one that you may want to consider."

"What?"

Frieza still believed that the twins were King Vegeta's but they were going to deny it until they were blue in the face. "From watching you train these four and how you and the general fight, I want your planet to join my military and help me take care of a few bothersome clients."

"We don't need to make an alliance with anyone else right now."

"Anyone else?"

"That's my buisness, but give us a good reason why we should join you."

"Try it would be a very good life insurance policy for the planet. If you refuse, there's no telling what may happen without my protection."

"And what protection could you give us?" came a voice behind Frieza. He turned to see the one named Geta and Kakarot glaring at him with their arms crossed.

"You don't realize the full extent of my power do you monkey?"

Kakarot growled. If it's one thing he hated was being called a monkey. "I know your power and I'm more than capable of handling it."

Zarbon aimed a blast at the two Saiya-jins, but they just stood there and took them without moving. When the smoke cleared, what stood in front of them, was two intact, not even charred, Saiya-jins who turned their attention on him. Vegeta started to laugh and walked towards him with slow deliberate steps. "Would you like to try that again? This time, I'll dodge and counter."

Dodoria and Frieza were a bit surprised to see them take Zarbon's attacks so easily. "Zarbon, I did not give you orders to attack these two." Turning back to the king, "I will be back periodically to see if you change your mind."

When the all clear sign was given, Kakarot and Vegeta breathed a bit easier and King Vegeta looked at Usagi. "Why did you answer Frieza that the children belonged to my son and that he was my older brother?"

Her brother looked at her and she knew that he had a good idea how she figured it out. "I told her, before we got here. We were training when the alarm came." Usagi smiled at him greatfully and knew that she owed him one.

"Good thinking."

Kakarot looked at Vegeta and knew he was lying, but why? He took a closer look at Usagi and noticed she didn't get a lot of sleep last night and that she appeared to be shivering. Her eyes connected with his and he thought he saw compassion in them and understanding. 'Something's changed about her, but what? I'll never understand that woman.' She giggled and had to turn away from him so he wouldn't see her. 'What is she laughing at?' Usagi ended up running out of the throne room, busting out in helpless laughter.

Prince Vegeta would have normally been angry, but the fact that Usagi knew what was wrong with her now, made this whole thing seem funny. She could read his thoughts, emotions and actions without him realizing it. He too started to laugh at the situation making everyone turn to him instead of wondering why Usagi ran out of their laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Kakarot, I think I finally know of way to get even with you." Before he gave away anything else he grabbed Rei and took off to train.
