A Grand Secret

Chapter 8

It was early morning at the Omni palace. Akila was ready to go to Earth. Zeno was still asleep and Daishinkan was busy with cleaning the palace. Akila teleported outside. It has been a week since she woke up, a week since she started training and working at the Omni palace. Her new home.

She transformed into a human form. She had dark brown hair and beautiful tanned, soft skin. The only problem was that her eyes were still violet. She remembered the 2nd energy she felt. It felt familiar. It felt like the person's energy she learned to love like a sibling. "I really hope it's not you." She whispered to herself, walking to her father's location. "Father. I'm going now. I'll contact you later." She said to the violet eyed male. He was busy plucking the dead plants and leaves from the garden. "Okay. Good luck and don't get caught." He said, looking up from his cleaning. "I won't. I hope Zeno won't cause you too much trouble." Akila smiled and Daishinkan smiled at his daughter. Akila teleported away. Leaving the elder Angel alone.

//ON EARTH//

Akila made a quick detour to Kunugigaoka Junior High. She walked up to a strawberry blond boy. He was sitting alone in his class, 3A. He was reading a book. He looked up from his book to meet her violet eyes. Violet clashed with violet. "What do you want? My answer is no." He said thinking it's another girl that wants to confess to him. Before he knew it, his head made contact with his desk. "You always were full of yourself." Akila said in a dark voice that made the poor strawberry blond scard. "You owe me a favour." She said, taking the chair of the desk infront of him. She sat infront of the 3rd year boy. He raised his brow confusingly while rubbing his sore head. "I don't own anyone favours." He stated. "Oh really... so you don't remember the person that saved your stupid ass." Akila said with her eyes narrowd at him, trying not to punch the annoying shit.

The strawberry blond's eyes widened as he remember her. "Akila?" He asked, shocked. "Yes. You owe me for going out of my way to save your snooping ass." She said, remembering the memory. "Look I'm not going into the story of how I'm alive but I need you to go along with a false story." Akila cut him off before he could speak. He nodded his head. "I'm going to pretend to be a family member on your mother's side since our eye color is the same. I don't want Whis finding out to soon that I'm back." The tall female explained shortly. Her ponytail fell over her shoulder and her bangs hang halfway in her violet eyes. "But why me? Rio is your cousin." He pointed out the obvious. "I know but since you owe me a favour. Why not." Akila smiled evilly. The male shook his head. "By the way. By what name do you go by now?" Akila asked him lazily. "Gakushu Asano." Asano said. Akila nodded her head. "Splended. I go by Zara Seagreen here on earth and I'll be in West City. If anyone ask. I'm your aunt. Got it!" Akila said, standing up from her seat and glared down at the boy. "Fine." Asano replied. "Have you even seen your mom lately?" Akila asked her hand on the doorknob of the class. "Nope. She's off planet. Haven't seen her in ages." Asano said, picking up his book again. "Sucks to be you. I bet you haven't even seen your real father either." Akila commented after sliding the door open. "Anyways I should get going. See ya Gakushu." The brunette said and then strong wind was felt. The female was gone. Asano returned to his book. He remembered when he was younger and snooped around in the 15th universe. It was embarrassing to be caught by the destroyer and his guid. Now that he thought about it. The Akila back then then and now are two different people. He shrugged it off as nothing. He'll play along.

//AT CAPSULE CORP//

"Hi. I'm the new cook, Zara Seagreen." The brunette woman smiled at the lady at reception. Zara looked around the lobby. Capsule Corp is huge. "Oh. I wasn't expecting you to be here this soon." A blue haired female, Bulma, said as she walked to the desk, placing a stack of papers on them. Zara a.k.a Akila was tempted to fill them out, used to doing that at the Omni palace. She focused her violet eyes on Bulma. "Follow me." Bulma said as she walked down the corridor. Zara followed after her. The brunette glanced around, memorising every corner. She wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into someone. "My greatest apologies. I didn't look where I was going. Please forgive me." The woman said, bowing 90°. The person's ki spiked, this person was pissed. Zara shot up and looked the person in their eyes. She was met with pissed off black orbs. The person's hair stood up and was the same black colour as his eyes. She remembered doing research about him. His name is Vegeta. Prince of the saiyan race. His companion is Goku or known as Kakarot. They both have earthling wives and half earthling sons.

Vegeta's hands were clenched. He was angry. Zara stepped back, pretending to act weaker. She stood in her fighting stance. Ready to fight him if she has to. He and Goku are both being trained by her brother so their not weak. She observed his posture. 'He's as stiff as a twig.' Zara though. She'll go in for the neck chop. Fast and effective but the obvious choice. "Vegeta!" Bulma warned, standing behind the prince. "What?" He asked annoyed. "Your not going to chase away another new employee!" She yelled at him. He rolled his eyes at her. "She is to blame for bumping into me!" Vegeta fired back. Zara sweat dropped. This is definitely one of the weirdest couples she ever saw. "Woman. Let me test her strength. She even know how to get into a fighting position!" Vegeta decided. 'So mutch for acting human.' Zara though, angry at herself. 'Maybe if I use 0,01% of my strength. It may be enough to put on a decent fight. 4% is equal to the saiyan's strongest form. I'll be able to dodged him with ultra instinct. I think I'll be fine.' Zara though to herself. Thinking out a plan. "I'll fight him." Zara said, stopping the two from continuing their argument. "W-what?" Bulma asked. Her blue eyes were filled with disbelief. Vegeta smirked. "Let's go to the back." Vegeta declared, already walking off to the back yard. Bulma let out a sigh of stress. Zara placed her hand on the poor woman. "Don't worry. I'll be fine. It will only be a quik sparring match." Zara smiled reassuringly at her. Bulma smiled nervously. Bulma though that her new cook didn't know that Vegeta is a saiyan. Well, none of them knew that Zara is Akila, the 2nd Grand Minister and Whis' older sister. Well, not Yet.

When they made it outside, they were met with a tall blue haired boy and an identical shorter boy. Their energy felt too alike to be brothers. That's when Zara remember the 12th universe. 'Time travel.' She thought. 'Of course it makes sense but... why does it involves his energy?' Zara asked herself. "We fight. Right here. Right now." Vegeta said, standing still with his arms crossed. The violet eyed brunette nodded her head. She stood in her previously taken fighting stance. She have to make sure to have some flaws. Vegeta took his stance too. It seems like we drew attention. The two boys, Lord Beerus, Whis, the one named Goku and three kids that were about the same age as the the boy called Trunks, came to watch. Trunks is Bulma and Vegeta's son. Zara almost blushed seeing her brother. He's so mutch taller now and mature. Akila wanted to cry and hug her brother but she has to keep her cover. Whis is one of her favourite siblings. She would spend as much time as she could with him, Vados and Sour when they were younger. Akila missed those times. The times where she didn't have to lie and act like a different person.

She focused on Vegeta again after catching Whis' lavender eyes. Vegeta charged at her. No surprise. She dodged it easily. Zara continued to dodge Vegeta. The more she did, the more he fought blindly out of anger. Since even if Akila is pretending to be a human and is using her second name as a cover name, she's still bounded to the rules. Fighting is fully against the rules, unless it's to train someone. Zara danced around the saiyan. She appeared behind him and raised her hand to chop his neck but he turned around and caught her hand. She wasn't surprised. It's an obvious move. Zara kicked the saiyan in the gut. Then she she striked her hand down on his neck. She successfully defeated the saiyan without revealing her true power. Zara's victory was short lived when Vegeta stood up, pissed. His energy shot higher. He will transform into a super saiyan anytime soon. She smirked to herself. It's in her blood to tease her opponents.

Zara turned to face him again. A golden aura surrounded Vegeta. His hair turned blond and his eyes were a teal colour now. She took a deep breath. Her full attention was on the fight now. Her eyes flickered silver and violet. Her eyes tinted a light silver. Vegeta charged at her again at a faster speed. He was aiming for her stomach. She dodged by stepping to her right. Vegeta's other fist went to her face but she tilted her face to her right. The others that were watching were stunned that a human could keep up with a super saiyan. What surprised Bulma the most was that her new employee didn't react in fear because of Vegeta's transformation. Zara narrowd her eyes. She mustn't lose herself to the fight. She'll have to take hits at some point or else they might get suspicious. Her eyes flickered to Whis'. His eyes were narrowed with suspicion. His eyes widened when his eyes caught hers. Zara immediately diverted her eyes. She hoped he didn't notice her ultra instinct state.

Lord Beerus was starting to get suspicious too. Zara purposely slowed down. Vegeta's fist made contact with her cheek. Her face turned to the direction he hit her and she flew a few yards away from him. She held her cheek, panting. Of course it was all an act. The puch barely hurts. Bulma and the other saiyan stepped closer to Zara. "I-I'm fine." She waved them off, still out of breath. She ketp her gaze on the ground the entire time. She soon recovered her breath and straightened her posture. "That was a good fight. The most exiting I had in years." Zara lied. She knows who's a real exiting opponent. "Wow. Your really strong. Who taught you to fight?" The saiyan, Goku asked. Zara smiled at him. "My father and his close friend. They used to be fighters," Zara explained, "Oh... my name is Zara Seagreen. I'll be the new cook." The Angel in disguise introduced herself. "Nice to meet ya." Goku smiled, giving the female a hug. Zara looked away from the saiyan, she wasn't in the mood for hugs. "Goku, let the poor woman recover!" Bulma yelled at him. "No, no. It's fine." Zara reassured the blue haired woman.

"So. Your the new cook?" Lord Beerus asked, standing infront of the slightly taller woman. "That's correct." Zara answered, gazing down at him with her violet eyes. Whis found her sudden appearance suspicious. 'Violet eyes?' The attendant asked himself. "Why don't you go and make us something?" Lord Beerus asked/ordered her. Zara hid her anger and frustration. She was irritated by a mere destroyer ordering her around. She smiled sweetly at the destroyer. "Right away." She bowed and walked inside.

Zara found her way to the kitchen and was tempted to poison Beerus but one; she would kill Shin too and two; normal poison wouldn't work. The brunette settled on baked potatoes with baked chicken with some sweet carrots. For dessert, she decided to make Milk tart.

After everyone ate, Zara washed the dishes. Lord Beerus was satisfied by her cooking. As she washed the dishes, she got a call. She glanced around to make sure she's alone and no one can hear her. "Akila. Hello?" She answered the device that looked like a phone. "Yes." She said over the phone. "Continue." Akila told the caller. "WHAT!?" Akila yelled over the phone. In her fit if anger, she dropped the plates, shattering on the ground. "Where are you now." She asked in a dangerously low tone. The caller was terrified of her icy tone. "Zara!" Bulma, Vegeta, Goku, Lord Beerus and Whis came running in after hearing the plates shatter. Their eyes widened at the sight.

In the kitchen, infront of the moon lit window. Stood a brown haired woman with white, twinkling glass surrounding her. Her violet eyes were dark and cold. They shone in the moonlight. She had a phone to her ear. Her other hand was clenched and she looked pissed. "I'm not repeating myself. Tell me where you are now!" She hissed. A muffled voice was heard over the phone. Whis thought Zara looked familiar and her cold eyes made it easier. The woman ended the call. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes. "I apologize for this mess. I'll clean it up after I sorted out some issues." Zara said, her eyes narrowd at the word, issues. She walked out of the kitchen.

As soon as the female was, she dashed for the front door. When the cold air from outside hit her, she shot up in the air by the speed of mach 20. As she flew, her speed increased. Her eyes were narrowd. Her emotions were getting in the way. She soon saw the person that called her. Akila landed on the ground. The person and his teammate covered their faces with their arms to avoid the strong winds created by the pissd female. "Where are they, Karasuma?" Akila asked the black haired male, wearing his usual black suit. The male from the ministry of defence had his arms crossed. "They're held inside." He pointed to the door to a underground place. Akila noticed the yellow octopus of an teacher. "Greetings Koro-sensei." She greeted him with a closed eyes smile. Koro-sensei shivered, her smile reminded him of the principal of Kunugigaoka Junior High, principal Gakuho Asano. "Let's head inside." Akila said, holding her palm out to the metal door. A blue light formed in her palm. She shot the ki blast at the door, creating an explosion.

"Koro-sensei. I want you to go on ahead. Sto– I mean Karasuma and I will follow behind." Akila ordered the stressed octopus. Without waste, he ran off. "It's him, isn't it?" The violet eyes woman asked the black haired male. He nodded his head. "I'm afraid so. By the way, you almost spit out my real name back there." Karasuma informed her, he glared at her at the last part. Akila returned his glare. "We should go. I'm not sure if Lord Beerus and Whis followed me." She said in a monotone voice. Akila already stepped inside. Karasuma followed her. "He's going to pay for kidnapping my cousin!" Akila threatened. Karasuma decided to say nothing. They both know who is behind this kidnapping.

Gun shots were heard along with Koro-sensei shrieking and a loud thud. He most probably fell into a trap. Akila shared a glance with Karasuma. He nodded his head. The earth Angel placed his hand on her shoulder. They teleported to where the noise was heard.

They were in a larger room. Iron bars were infront of the two. Behind those bars were the E class students and Koro-sensei. Akila's eyes scanned the group. "Rio!" She called out to the blond. "Akila?" The said blond questioned. Akila sighed in relive. "Thank goodness your alright. Is anyone hurt?" Akila asked. Scanning the rest of the group. A chorus of no's were heard. Akila smiled at them. She calmed down. "Well, well, well. Look who joined the party." A golden eyed male with white-ish hair stepped closer to them. "Reaper." Karasuma narrowd his eyes. "Reaper?" Akila questioned. Akila searched his eyes. Studying the male.

"So your the one who captured my cousin. If Rio have gotten hurt, I would have killed you." Akila said coldly, rising to the air. Her halo appeared behind her head and her eyes glowed a deep purple. The students behind her, in the cage, stepped back in fear. Even the Reaper himself did. Her long white hair floated behind her. At this moment Akila looked like a true goddess to them. "Akila..." Yuma whispered. If Akila heard him, she plainly ignored him. Rio and Karma was the only two that glanced at him. A bitter memory filled Yuma's mind.

"Wow, that's a cool story." Ichigo said, not sure what actually to say. "It must have been hard for you. Losing your brother and Akila." Renji spoke, imagining his struggle. Yuma nodded his head at the red haired male's words. "Few years before she got erased. Akila gave me the mark of the blue halo." Yuma said. Ichigo gave him a confused look. "It's a mark that shows that I belong to her. We are not allowed to have another lover behind each other's back. We're not binded as one like a mate bond but it's a warning to others that we're in a relationship. She has the mark if the star on her neck." Yuma explained. He showed the mark on his neck. His sister gasped. "Yuma, your mark!" She cried out. "It's fading!" She exclaimed as she and the three soul reapers watch as the mark fade as if it never existed at all. "She... she doesn't love me anymore." Yuma said sadly.

Yuma shook his head to forget the memory. He watched Karasuma fight the Reaper. Akila stood on the sideline. A blue/white ki formed in her hand. 'A ki blade.' Rio though as she kept her eyes on her beloved cousin. Rio's eyes darted to the Reaper for a second. He's too distracted by fighting Mr K. Itona, being the technology geek, removed the bomb collars from everyone's neck. Akila cut the cage open with her blade. Yuma watched her. For a minute Yuma caught a glimpse of her neck. 'The mark is gone.' He realized. He saw Rio run to hug Akila. Akila smiled at her dear cousin. She released her cousin and stopped the two males from fighting. "Why are you stopping them?" Karma asked, suspiciously. Rio was next to Akila, glancing at the Reaper. If Karma's eyes aren't playing tricks on him, then he could have swore he saw a glimpse of worry in his classmate's eyes.

"I know who you are, Reaper." Akila said, mocking his name. "Your Franklin Vulpes, you have a brother, Frankenstein. He didn't inherit your father's powers like you therefor he was sent to earth, never to return. He has different powers, powers he received from your mother. That power sent fear into most of your kind. You have a daughter. She inherited her looks from your mother, the same as your brother. She reminds you of your brother, that's why your here on earth too but got sidetracked when you fell inlove with the art of killing." Akila told him, ratting him out. "Wow. I have to admit Akila. You have changed since the last time I saw you. Now answer my question." The male said, a smirk om his face as he looked up into her cold violet eyes. "Would you really kill me, when you know who my daughter is and that I'll never hurt her, will you still kill me then?" He asked. "No." She said, looking to her right, avoiding his cocky smirk. Rio hugged him. "Dad." She whispered. Franklin smiled, embracing his daughter. "Wait. Your the FOX KING!!" The Angels from the class yelled. "The one and only." He smiled.

Akila smiled. She and Franklin stood aside from the class. The class was to busy talking with Irina-sensei or known as professor Bitch. "I thought for a moment there that your bloodlust has blinded you." She told the assassin. "Sorry, can't kill me yet." Franklin smirked. "If I remember correctly, my aunt almost did." Akila said matter-of-factly. Franklin rolled his golden eyes. "Have you seen your brother yet?" Akila asked him. The tall assassin nodded his head. "Yes. He's running a school now, not to mention he's looking after Raizel." Reaper said. "Blood pact?" Akila asked and the male responded with a yes. "Interesting, maybe I'll pay a little visit." Akila said, in though.  "Anyways it was wonderful seeing all of you again but I should get going. Bye." Akila said, she gave one last glance at her cousin and disappeared. Akila appeared close to Capsule Corp again. She disguised herself again and walked calmly back to Capsule Corp.

Akila reminded herself that she's Zara now again. She couldn't find Bulma anywhere. She searched for the blue haired scientist. Zara entered the lab. She saw Bulma working on a machine. She stood and watched what the earthling was doing. Then Zara's eyes widened. "A time machine!" She said shocked. Starteling Bulma and Dr Briefs. "Sorry." Zara said, laughing nervously. She have to report this to the Omni place but she can't get herself to. There is still more she needs to find out. "Geez, you almost gave me a heart attack." Bulma said, resting her right hand on her chest, right where her heart would be located. Zara spotted future Bulma's book and scanned the pages. "Oh, this is easy. Mind if I help?" The brunette asked. Bulma nodded her head. "Wow, not only are you good at fighting and cooking but you understand science." Bulma praised. Zara mentally cursed herself. She shouldn't reveal too much of herself. "Where did you go?" Bulma asked her. "My cousin was in trouble and I went to help." Zara said. "Are they okay?" Bulma asked, thinking of worst case scenarios. "Yes. Their perfectly fine." Zara answered with a nod of her head.

"Whis cleaned the mess for you. He could tell you were worried." Bulma said. Zara smiled to herself she knew Whis loves to keep his environment clean. Everything around him should be clean. If you visit Lord Beerus' temple. It's always sparkling clean. "I'll thank him next time I see him." Zara said, as she got the needed tools. Zara had a battle with herself. 'This is wrong. The entire concept of time traveling is wrong. I can't belive I offered my help...' Zara mentally scolded herself. She then sighed. It's no use, she'll just have to sit back and wait. She is confused why she senced his energy. For now she has to play the part as a cook. Unknown to Bulma and her father, Zara's eye twitched. She hates pretending to be someone she's not. She would rather be herself and if people don't like the real her, it's their fault. She's just like their father, that sets her apart from Korn. Korn is a master at disguise. He can pretend to be anything or anyone and gets away with it. A subconscious smile fought its way to her lips. The violet eyed woman thought of her beloved twin. Their so alike, yet so different. She loves het twin and she knows he loves her as well. Their twin relationship is the polar opposite of Lord Beerus and Lord Champa's.

Zara checked up on Korn through their bond. She saw Lord Liquiir, the red furred fox were saying something to Korn. She didn't eavesdrop on what he said but they were on a planet in the 8th universe. The place looks barren and haunted. Zara noted that he's about to destroy the planet. She left her brother's mind and got the tool Bulma asked for. Bulma noticed the smile. "And that smile? thinking of a guy?~" She asked teasingly, wriggling her eyes. Zara was caught off guard with her question and blushed surprisingly red. "N-no. I was thinking about my twin. I haven't seen my other half in a while. I was just thinking back to the times we would cause our father trouble." She said quickly recovering from her blush and stutter. Bulma laughed. "I was just teasing you. I never thought I would meet another person that has a twin." Bulma said, referring to the twin destroyers. "Yes. At first my father despised the idea of twins but he got over it. My twin, he's the best ever. We support each other and is always there for each other. Don't get me wrong, I love my younger siblings but my twin is just special. We even share a special twin bond." Zara smiled.

She heard Korn awww in her head. The woman mentally rolled her eyes at him. "Awww, so sweet." Bulma gushed. "So the two of you can communicate telepathically and all of those other things twins usually can do?" Bulma asked and Zara nodded my head. "Yes." She answered the blue haired woman. The two women continued working on the machine again. Millions of thoughts ran through her head. "What is exactly happening in the future?" Zara asked the blue haired woman scientist and her father. "You see, there is an evil villain that wants to wipe out all mortals. They decided to call him Goku Black..." Bulma started explaining what's happening while fixing the time machine. Dr Briefs also gave some information where he could. Zara listened intensely to every detail, growing shocked when she compared this 'Goku Black' and him, a friend Zara knows all too well. 'How could he?...' Zara asked herself in her thoughts, trailing off. 'Seems like I'll have to pay a little visit soon.' The brunette finalized. Zara focused her violet eyes back on the task infront of her, listening to Bulma talk.
