Crickets chirped in the cool silence that hung around Tentei's home as he walked towards it, tired and eager for bed. He stepped through a puddle that remained from the days rain, splashing water over his already dirty pants. The wind blew from his side, blowing his long hair across his face and into his eyes. The boy sighed and flicked his head to clear the obstruction from his eyes and noticed bright starlight shining down over the trees in the distance.

He stopped and stared up at the ray of light shining down through the dark and cloudy sky as wind pushed at his hair again. Tentei turned his back to it and continued to gaze up, then blinked and started towards his house again. He still had to make supper before bed and his eyes were already growing heavy and his head was starting to nod.

As he approached the back door he craned his neck and peered into his house and noticed his mother's light was off, she was asleep. The door creaked slightly as it was opened and he stepped inside, looking around in the dark at his kitchen. Tentei crept over to his cupboard and grabbed an instant noodle package, he didn't have enough energy to make a real meal. He put it in a bowl and cooked it as quickly as he could, consuming the hot noodles without making a sound. Once he was finished he set the bowl in the sink and washed his face before turning towards the hall and walking slowly to his bedroom. He flopped down on his bed and rolled over to the window, looking outside at the sky again. He sighed once more and got dressed for bed, turning away from the view of the night. As Tentei sat down on the edge of his bed the wind blew hard, revealing a bright moon that shined into his room.

The ray of shimmering moonlight glowed onto something directly behind Tentei and caught his eye. He turned his head quickly, too quickly, and cracked his neck loudly and painfully in his surprise. The object in his blind spot was not forgotten however and Tentei gasped in shock as a hairy tail entered his line of sight.

"Whoa!", he almost shouted, completely forgetting about his sleeping mother as he unconsciously tried to step away from his own tail. Tentei's ownership of the tail soon became clear to him when he grabbed at it sharply and felt a powerful stab of pain.

"Damnit!", he actually yelled this time and stomped down on his bedroom floor. Regret crept over him a second later as the sound of someone moving in the house reached his ears. Tentei stepped over and sat carefully on the bed, avoiding making contact with his tail for fear of more pain. He looked himself over, his eyes settling on the tail which sat quite motionless on his bed. The floor creaked just outside Tentei's bedroom and he looked up just in time to see his own mother, Viranka, entering the room, her shiny black hair trailing behind her. She was wearing a very fuzzy white robe with the belt tied around her waist and she clearly was not happy with being awake.

"Tentei, honey, what is all the noise about? Are you alright in here?", Viranka asked, her voice ever calm and loving, her large round black eyes directed at her son. She stood still and crossed her arms as she let out a yawn, giving clear indication she intended on going back to bed as soon as possible. Tentei glanced down at himself and took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a second as he stood up from his bed, completely unsure of what would happen next.

Tentei stood up slowly, unable to find the words to say what he was trying to reveal to his mother. What could he say, oh yeah, he had a tail and where did that come from all of a sudden? No, the young man knew what he had to do and he was doing it. Tentei reached his feet and ended up standing there for a moment, obviously awkward and not sure what to do next. He looked down at himself, namely his newfound tail, and suddenly what he was trying to say became easy to see.

Shock played across Viranka's face and she took a sharp breath upon noticing the cause of this late night scene. Her son's tail had grown back!? Memories of her late lover, Tentei's father, shot through her mind and regret as well as guilt stabbed at her heart. She realized she had never even explained her son's situation to him and felt new guilt make her stomach heavy. Now the one piece of evidence of her only child's alien heritage had just grown back unannounced and she had no idea what to say. The lie of omission she had made to Tentei, simply telling him his father had died before he could remember ran through Viranka's head, she had to tell the truth.

Tougarashi's words reverberated through her mind over and over again, spoken under the stress of knowing his family was coming to an end. "I'm a Saiyan Viranka, a race of ruthless warriors who work as professional fighters and planet conquerors. I couldn't even handle living among them, I was never good enough, I had to steal and sneak just to get by. I'm so much happier here with you, I love you, and now we have a son together." The Saiyan man's eyes had pleaded with her quite hard and she had simply told him to get out. As soon as the words had left her mouth she had regretted them, regretted them all the way up to this very moment, perhaps now more than ever.

Viranka and her son Tentei both stood in his room, his tail the cause of this awkward silence they were both participating in. It held for a moment then was broken by Tentei sighing, confusion still evident on his face. In the background the bright light shining in through the window was obstructed by clouds, though no one noticed it at the moment. The silence returned for a second, then was ended again, this time by Viranka clearing her throat to speak, her long black hair fluttering slightly in the breeze.

"I'm so sorry Tentei. I've let you down.", she said in the most disappointed voice her son had ever heard her use. She looked into his eyes for a moment then down at the floor, shame creeping into her expression.

"Sorry for what, mom?", Tentei asked, more lost now than before. As he contemplated the mystery of this tail it moved, flicking slightly back and forth. Viranka winced and tears filled up her beautiful eyes, obscuring them as they fell to the ground.

"Honey, you are a Saiyan.", she said, struggling for the right words. "You're father was not from this planet, but when we met he didn't tell me that, and I didn't know until right before he died.", she added and paused for a second. Then Viranka realized that wasn't even completely correct, "Well, actually honey I found out when you were born. You see, you were born with that tail." At these words new shock was plain as day on Tentei's face and he leaned in to hear more. "I cut it off when you were a baby." A new thought entered Viranka's head at that second, the actual reason the tail had been cut off. How was she going to explain that one to Tentei, she wondered.

"What!?", Tentei's voice was loud again. "Why did you cut it off before, why did you never tell me about my dad, why?", the questions bounced around the room like they bounced around inside of Tentei's head, unanswered and taunting him. At the same time the clouds outside moved again in the wind and the bright moonlight came flooding back into the room.

Viranka's facial expression was strained and she looked more downtrodden than ever. "Tentei, honey, the reason I did those things were to protect you and make you normal. I only ever wanted the best for you."

"Well you lied." Tentei said coldly and Viranka was forcefully reminded of the same situation when she was the one being cold. She noticed the horrible, choking guilt and wondered if Tougarashi had felt the same thing. Then she remembered what he had done, forgotten in the heat of the moment, and she wondered if she was headed down the same path. No, Viranka almost said aloud, I will be here for my child even if he rejects me. So much regret filled her that she finally understood the allure of the end. Quiet comfort and release from the damage she had done on Earth was calling her. Viranka closed her eyes and the way ahead was suddenly clear to her. She would not kill herself, though now she understood at least part of why Tougarashi had done it.

"No, Tentei.", she said calmly to her son. "You do not understand my situation at all, and so you shouldn't lay down judgment so quickly. I did what I was sure I had to do to give you a happy life, and haven't we had one so far?" she gestured with her hands to the house around them.

Tentei took in his mother's words for a second and thought hard about them. "You're right mom", he said after considering what she had said, "You have given me a great home and a happy childhood, and I have no reason to be angry at you." He looked his saddened mother in the eyes, then turned and walked towards the window.

"No!." Viranka said sharply to Tentei as he reached the window and stood in the moonlight looking out at the night and the moon. "No! Don't look at it Tentei!" she yelled to him.

Tentei turned his head away from the intoxicating shine of the moon and looked at his mother. His eyes were blank, no pupils and he had a fierce, animal like look on his face. He let out a deep growl as his eyes suddenly glowed a burning dark red.
