Two suns and moons passed by slowly for the young Saiyan. She seemed lost in her own world over this time, but still kept up to her usual duties.

On one sparkling morning, Kira was sitting next to Honu when her father approached her.

"You ok Kira?" asked Raditz.

"Huh?" mumbled Kira after what looked like she was daydreaming. "Oh yeah, I'm fine."

Raditz sighed as his scouter began to beep repeatedly. He pressed the button over his ear as an image of a bald Saiyan appeared in the green lens.

"What's up Nappa?" Raditz asked looking into the lens.

"Big news Raditz!" Nappa exclaimed. "In Quadrant 4 there's a report of a band of Saiyans inhabiting one of the planets!"

Raditz jumped up from the boulder he was sitting on. "What?! Are you serious? How many are there?"

"At least 50 of them. There are females too, so the race will be prospering!"

"YES!!" Raditz exclaimed with joy.

"Raditz we need you back at the base in a few days. You and I are gonna check it out. Got it?"

"Yes sir!" Raditz said. "Raditz, over and out."

Raditz shouted and hollered into the air. "WOOOO HOOOO! Do you know what this means Kira? The race lives on! We will prepare to leave in a few days!"

"What?" Kira asked confusedly. "I have to leave?

Raditz sighed deeply and looked into Kira's piercing green eyes.

"Kira, you and I both know that this was a temporary home for you. We were going to leave soon anyway. You must return to space with me and the other survivors to find a new home. It is time you hung around others like yourself."

Kira bowed her head towards the ground. She then looked up to her father, and back towards Pride Rock, the only home she ever knew.

"Father, I know now the responsibility and strength that every Saiyan possesses in the depths of his heart. But I belong here in the Savanna...it's my destiny. I need to protect my family, as they protected me as an infant. You as well know the burden of my responsibilities here."

Raditz looked at his daughter, a great smile spread across his face. "I'm glad to see how committed you are to protecting your family, and willing to uphold the responsibilities that you have here. I'm very proud of you."

Kira smiled and hugged her father. "Please come and visit."

"As often as I can," said Raditz with commitment.

That night, Raditz stood outside his pod, and kissed his daughter goodbye. He noticed tears running down her soft cheeks, so he wiped them away with one of his great fingers.

"There is no need to cry my daughter," he said comfortingly. "No matter where in the universe I may be, my spirit will always live in here."

He picked up her trembling hand and placed it on her chest. Right over her beating heart. She hugged him one last time, and Raditz stepped into his pod once again.

The Lion clan watched the great ball of fire sly into the air, and Kira looked at it with an enormous smile on her face, until it was farther than the stars.

Later on, as Kira sat at the foot of Pride rock, she heard Honu approach behind her.

"You Ok?" he asked.

"Yeah, I was just thinking."

" 'Bout what?"

"If I chose the right life, if I've chosen the right future. If this truly is my destiny."

" It's always hard to choose the future huh?"

"Yeah, no kidding." Kira chuckled.

"Kira, let me tell you something that someone once told me. God made the sun, God made the rain. But one can never be both. You have one life to live. Choose it well."

Kira smiled at Honu, and they looked into the stars with diamond eyes. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
