I am Kera, a Saiyan Warrior Princess

Chapter 81

Kera:

Kera yawned and stretched. She turned to the side to doze a little more in Piccolo's arms, but found that he had already got up. She sighed, struggled out of bed, got dressed and left the bedroom to look for her family.

She found Reyak, Menka, Gine and Piccolo outside the door at their favourite spot above the waterfall. Piccolo showed the children how to create several energy balls, place them in certain places in the air and finally let them explode. Kera grinned. He had used this technique against 17 back then and she still found it impressive.

Reyak practiced doggedly while Menka juggled some energy balls and Gine happily pattered on one of them.

Kera flew up to them. "Good morning!" she called, landing next to Piccolo. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Good morning," Piccolo greeted her, leaning down to press a kiss to her cheek. "I wanted to let you catch up on sleep."

Gratefully, she smiled at her mate. She had indeed been tired. Two days ago she had come back from her journey from space and had just been glad for her bed. It was only the next day that she had been able to tell Piccolo what she had experienced with Kakarrot and Vegeta and had drifted back into a deep sleep after only a few hours of being awake.

During her journey she had slept very little. She and her brothers had used the time to train. For weeks, they had only interrupted training to eat and sleep, barely even talking, until Kera got fed up with the atmosphere and enforced that they also spend some of their waking time talking, cooking and maybe reading a book once in a while.

Vegeta and Kakarrot had only grumbled at the suggestion, but it had led to an improvement in their mood. She could proudly report that the two men were now able to cook rice and noodles and patch small holes in their clothes.

They had landed on several planets, searching for traces of Saiyans. Thanks to their time in space a few years ago, they at least had a clue to follow up on this time and they did indeed find a tribe that shared that a Saiyan was with them regularly. However, they had not known when he would return and they had given the inhabitants a message for him.

After that, they had had to return to Earth as their supplies had run low. Kera very much hoped that this Saiyan, whoever it was, would get back to them.

"Very good, Reyak. Now resume power."

Irritated, Reyak looked at his father. "Why?"

"If you have released energy, you must be able to take it back when in need."

Hesitantly, Reyak nodded and tried to pick up the orbs floating around him again, but he pulled them towards him too quickly and one of the orbs exploded just in front of his hand, setting off a chain reaction. Kera still managed to throw herself in front of Gine. She squinted her eyes, expecting the explosions, but they failed to materialise.

Slowly she opened her eyes and saw Menka, who had raised her hands and was staring intently at a spot in front of Reyak.

"Well done!" Piccolo praised her. Smiling, Menka lowered her hands, releasing the protective shield she had created around her family.

"That was a powerful shield." Kera was pleased that Menka had made such great progress in the last few months.

"Menka and Reyak are a perfect match." Pride spoke from Piccolo's eyes. Then he looked up at the sun. "We have to go."

Questioningly, Kera looked up at him. "Where to?"

"To Hercule's hotel opening. We're all invited."

"Oh, yes." He had told her about it when she had come back from space. He reached out to help her up. With Gine in her arms, she straightened up. "Do we still have to change?"
