Goku's Daughter(Saiyan Saga)

Chapter 12: Cut his Tail

      "Why'd you do that?" Gohan yelled at her. "Why'd you come back alone?" Gohan squeezed her with all his strength "we're family now, we fight together." Gohan ground his teeth together, he was so angry at her.

"Sor...ry..." V struggled to sit upright with Gohan clinging onto her.

"Hey, that wasn't very smart." Krillin joined the two on the ground, while Vegeta growled and yelled at them for disappearing.

"You had time to move." Krillin sighed. V looked at the ground "he tricked me."

"V." Goku fell to his knee when he landed, shaking himself off he ran to the others "V, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." V grumbled "but I was stupid."

"No, V, showing someone mercy is never stupid." Goku pulled her into his arms "I am so proud of you." He grabbed Gohan and pulled them both tightly to his chest "I'm proud of both of you, you're so brave and kind." He let them go "but you guys have to go now, let daddy, take care of this."

"No, you're hurt, you need our help to beat him." V said firmly. Goku looked his child in the eye, a child that seemed as if she was always meant to be his, the energy pulsed around V as she stared at him with these big determined eyes. Shifting his gaze to Gohan Goku saw an almost mirrored expression.

"We can help you, daddy." Gohan said still squeezing V. Goku briefly wondered when they both grew up so fast. Just a year ago, Gohan was a scared little boy who hid behind his father's pant leg and now he was ready to fight side by side with him. And V, V was this tiny girl who was forced into an adult like role with none of the maturity to handle it and none of the desire to learn.

"I'm so proud of both you." Goku pulled them into a hug "but if you guys stay and fight, you have to listen to me." Goku pulled away enough to fix them with a stern look "everything I say when I say it, understand?"

Gohan gave a sharp nod "right."

V pouted and stared at him with her own stern look "I won't leave you again." She said firmly. Goku nodded his head just like Gohan had before "right then, we win this one together." Goku \ looked to Gohan "and then we go home and we can be a family." Gohan and Goku both turned their eyes on V and smiled "all of us."

Gohan's smile widened "You'll love mommy, she's so nice and she makes the best food."

"Okay." V let a smile creep in, Vegeta and Nappa and Raditz were the one who taught her that showing emotions was weakness and V didn't want their voices in her head anymore, telling her what she should and shouldn't do.

"Not to interrupt the family reunion over here but..." Krillin's eyes were on something beyond them.

"Move!" V grabbed Krillin's wrist with her tail and tackled Gohan and Goku out of the way. The blast exploded, the energy shoved them through the air. Goku winced as he tried to channel some energy but that Kao-ken really took it out of him. Gohan was simply too inexperienced to figure out how to move out of it. V was surprised that despite the strength of the attack Krillin was able to keep in control maybe he's better than I thought? V pondered briefly as she gathered Gohan into her arms and steadied him.

Goku smacked into the ground harder than V would have liked, Krillin tumbled across the ground but got away relatively unscathed and V landed solidly with Gohan restrained in her arms.

"Thanks, V." Gohan smiled back at her and V annoyingly noticed that Gohan was actually a half a head taller than her. She frowned at the height difference.

"What's wrong?" Gohan asked suddenly noticing the look on V's face, was she angry he couldn't save himself?

"You're bigger than me." She let him go and looked him up and down.
