Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or the characters that Akira Toriyama (brilliant man) created. I only own Starlight and my story plot. Please don't take Starlight, my story plots, or any made up characters without my permission. Also I'm sorry if it seems that I butt in too much, it's just that since I've been making up most of it, it begins to get kinda confusing...

Background info: Starlight's WHOLE biography is in my user lookup (just click on my name "TwitchySeaHorse"). But...for those of you TOO lazy to do that (like me)...Starlight has dark blue hair and dark purple eyes. She was put up for adoption by her human mother (Sunset) because she couldn't take care of her. Starlight's father is a ruthless full-blooded Saiyan who did the whole "try to take over the world" routine when Goku was about 17 and got his butt kicked. Then he fell onto Sunset's balcony and....well let's just say, nine months later Starlight was born. Then she was adopted by a lady named Valerie who abused her (physically and mentally) until she was 11 and adopted by Goku and Chichi. Ummm, what else am I forgetting.... (This would be a LOT easier if you would read the biography thingy in my userlookup....)Oh...due to a severe beating she received when she was younger, Starlight can see into the future BOTH at random and at will. Uhhh....Oh yeah...AGES are an important factor in here... Starlight is 15, Gohan is 14, and Future Trunks is 16. Trunks is 16 because he and Starlight are dating and in the TV series he's supposed to be like 24 and in my perspective...that's just gross.... Also, this takes place about one year after Goku's death, and about two-three months after the birth of Goten...Also, Future Trunks is VISITING from the future...Well, I'm not going to say anymore so you can just read the story and ENJOY....

Hatred

Chapter 1: Heartless Notions

Gohan affectionately held a picture of Goku in his hands. He missed his father terribly. Starlight knocked on his bedroom door.
"Come in." He said, hastily putting the picture under his pillow. Starlight opened the door and poked her head in.
"Umm Gohan, I need to go to the store for mom, and she's taking a nap. She needs you to watch Goten." She said revealing the baby Goten in her arms. He opened his eyes sleepily and squealed. Starlight smiled and kissed the baby's soft forehead. Gohan stood up and took Goten out of her arms.
"When will you be back?" He asked. Starlight looked at her watch.
"I should be back in about an hour, she doesn't need that much. Just baby food." She said. Gohan nodded.
"All right, bye." He said. Starlight waved and walked out of his room, closing the door behind her. She walked past the living room on her way out of the house. Chichi was lying on the couch.
"Starlight honey," She said. Starlight stopped and walked over to her mom. "Come right back once you're done okay? It might rain." She said. Starlight nodded and walked out of the house. It was cloudy outside, like it WAS about to rain. Starlight smelt rain in the air, and hoped that she could make it to the market and back before the rain reached her house. She sighed and jumped into the air, taking flight.
It didn't take Starlight long to get to the market from her house, especially when she flew. She got there within ten minutes. She opened the door and was greeted by a messy market. Starlight was puzzled, seeing as though not too many people lived in the mountains, and this was a market where the people were exceptionatly nice. Starlight began investigating. Everything was knocked over. There was a sign of some kind of struggle behind the counter.
"Hello?" She asked aloud. She bent over the counter, looking for anyone. Something bright and red caught her view. It was blood; not a lot, but it was blood. She began to grow afraid of what might have happened to the people who owned the store.
"Hello?" She asked again, only louder. She heard a muffled scream coming from the back of the store. Without even thinking she ran to the sound and came across the little old lady who owned the store. Her name was Mrs. Peterson. She was tied up so tightly that the rope was cutting into her arms and neck. Starlight went right to work, breaking the ropes apart. Then she took the piece of tape off of Mrs. Peterson's mouth and let her talk.
"Wh-where are the children?" She asked, getting a panicked look on her face. Starlight's hands began to tremble slightly.
"Children?" She asked. Mrs. Peterson tried to stand up but fell down.
"My twelve grandchildren were visiting the store when...HE came..." She said. Starlight looked the elderly woman in the eye.
"Who? Who did this to you?" She asked. Then there was a loud scream coming from the smoke house out back. Mrs. Peterson put a troubled hand on Starlight's arm.
"Quick! Save the children!" She yelled. Starlight didn't have to be told twice, when it came to kids she never hesitated. She ran to the smoke house and swung open the door. She was horrified at what she saw. Ten little children tied up together with tape over their mouths were in the center of the smokehouse. One little blond girl was lying across from them; she was cut in half, with blood spilling out from everywhere. Starlight closed her eyes in disgust. Without a second thought she untied the remaining children. She heard a chopping noise.
"Get behind me kids." She said, guiding them behind her. She looked towards the far left corner and saw a tall man in the shadows, cutting something with a butcher knife. Starlight swallowed her fear.
"Who are you?" She yelled. "Show yourself!" She demanded. The man stopped what he was doing and put his knife down. He turned around, showing her his glowing red eyes. Starlight gulped. He walked into the glimmer of light shining down from a crack in the roof. He was about seven feet tall with green spiky hair and a smile on his lips. He was wearing a long black trench coat, baggy blue jeans, and a white t-shirt, stained with blood.
"My name is Zenota. I am a Taborian from Taboria." He smiled walking over to her and lifting her chin with his hand. She slapped it away. She was trying to figure out what he had been doing in the corner. She got frustrated and shot a hole in the roof above the corner. Light reflected off of the blood from a mangled little boy's body. His eyes were wide open, and his body was in shreds. Starlight bit her lower lip and looked at the floor. Zenota smirked.
"Oh, so you can do that too?" He said, pointing his palm at the defenseless children on the behind her. He created a black energy beam in his hands. The kids screamed and began crying. Starlight shook her head violently. "You don't believe me?" He asked, getting ready to shoot at them. Starlight bit her lip so hard she drew blood.
"NO! You've proven what you can do! What is it you want?" She yelled. Zenota smiled, and the energy beam disappeared.
"I have come here in search of a bride." He said. Starlight's eye twitched.
"What do you mean?" She snapped.
"I mean that in order for me to claim the throne of Taboria I need a queen." He said looking her over. "Are you Starlight?" He questioned. Starlight looked at him with terror in her eyes.
"How did you know my name?" She asked. Zenota laughed with excitement.
"Great! I found you! I have been observing you from highly advanced satellites on my planet for the last six years. I have known your every thought, move, and whisper. I know what you dream of at night, and I know what you write down in your journals. Everything." He said. Starlight was scared. This guy was a freak. "And you are my bride to be." He said.

"NO! I will NOT marry you!" She yelled.
"Oh so you wont?" He asked. Her eye twitched again and she shook her head slightly. The soft sobs of the children shattered through her thoughts.
"If it's me you want, then why did you do this to them?" She yelled pointing to the children behind her. The kids had faces drenched with tears. Zenota laughed.
"Because I know of the love you have for children. I know that you would do anything to help them." He smirked. "Kind of like your baby brother Goten." A sick and twisted grin crossed his lips. Starlight's eyes widened in fear.
"Leave him alone..." She said through gritted teeth. He smiled and waved his hand.
"Tootles!" He said jumping into the air and disappearing. Starlight growled and went to jump after him when she felt a tug on her shirt. She turned around to see the smallest girl looking at her.
"Wh-what do we do now?" She asked. Starlight bent down on one knee and gave the little girl a hug.
"Your grandmother is in the store. Go stay with her." She instructed. The kids nodded and walked off. Once they were on their way she jumped into the air and flew to her house. She grew frustrated, as the flight home seemed longer than the flight to the store. She felt Gohan's energy rise and then fall. She screamed and boosted her speed. The entire ten-minute flight took her only four minutes when she was angry. She arrived at her house to see that the front door had been blasted through. She heard a blood-curdling scream coming from the direction of Goten's room. She drew in a sharp breath and followed the trail of rubble to her baby brother's bedroom.
"Please..." Chichi sobbed, clutching Goten tightly to her body. Zenota snatched the baby out of her arms and took a knife out of his pocket.
"DROP HIM!" Starlight yelled, bursting into the room. Zenota looked up and smiled.
"Oh Starlight, how good of you to come. I've already rid you of one brother." He said. Starlight froze. It was true, she didn't feel any trace of Gohan anywhere, but he could just be suppressing his energy. "Now, you choose. Either I kill the baby, or you marry me." Starlight didn't think twice.
"I'll marry you." She said. He dropped the baby. Goten immediately began crying as Chichi crawled over to him and cradled him in her arms. An injured Gohan appeared in the doorway.
"No. Starlight, you don't have to marry him. I'll kill him." He glared at Zenota. Zenota walked over to Starlight and placed his arms around her.
"She already said she would marry me. You can't stop that." He said. He placed his mouth on Starlight's and kissed her. A single tear ran down Starlight's cheek as Zenota became more involved in the kiss. Then, suddenly, he stopped and fell to the floor. Starlight looked at him. He quickly stood up and turned around.
"What the hell?" He yelled. There was a small cut on his jacket. His flesh was exposed and oozing blood. Starlight felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. She turned around to face Trunks. Immediately she fell into his arms. He held her close to his body and kissed her on the forehead. Zenota glared at Trunks, as if trying to figure out who he was.
"Trunks is it? The one who Starlight is SO in love with." He said. Trunks let go of Starlight and handed her a bag of Senzu beans. She gave one to Gohan and put the bag in her pocket. Trunks glared at Zenota.
"Who do you think you are?" He asked. Zenota smirked.
"I do believe," He said walking over to Trunks, "That I am her husband to be." He punched Trunks in the stomach. Trunks keeled over in pain. Starlight gasped and ran between Trunks and Zenota. She extended her arms and blocked Trunks.
"STOP! I DONT WANT YOU HURTING ANYBODY ANYMORE!" She yelled with fury. A few tears escaped her eyes. "Zenota, I will go with you to Taboria and marry you, on one condition...You stop hurting the people of this planet." She said. He smirked and went to hold her. He began kissing her neck. Trunks stood up and growled. She looked at him with tears in her eyes. They clouded her vision. She blinked them away.
"Don't worry. Every thing will work out." She whispered. One of Zenota's hands pushed aside her sleeve so he could begin kissing her shoulder, and the other hand moved down Starlight's back. She closed her eyes and stifled a small sob. He stopped and looked up.
"You know what? I'm so glad that you decided to see things my way that I'll let your little friends WATCH." He said, laughing sickly. Trunks and Gohan looked at him with confusion written all over their faces. Zenota laughed. "Follow me to my spaceship. I can take you to my home planet, Taboria and you two can watch us get married."
"She doesn't want to marry you! That's sick." Gohan said, angrily glaring at Zenota. Zenota smiled and walked over to Gohan. Gohan took a few steps back.
"If you think THAT'S sick..." He said. "Then you'll simply detest this." He said hitting Gohan in the back of the neck. Gohan fell to his knees, unconscious. Before Trunks had any time to react, Zenota knocked him out too. Starlight squeezed her eyes shut, letting another tear fall down her face. From a nearby closet Chichi screamed. Zenota stared at the closet door and began walking towards it. Starlight ran in front of him and stopped him in his tracks.
"Stop. Let's go." She said reluctantly. Zenota grinned.
"In a hurry to get married I see." Starlight cringed. Zenota walked over to her and placed his hands on her waist. "I knew you couldn't resist me." He said kissing her. She wasn't frank but she slightly kissed back. She knew that for her plan to work she would have to go along with whatever he wanted. He finished kissing her and walked to the bodies of Trunks and Gohan and picked them up. He slung them over his shoulders and walked out of the house. "This should be fun." He smirked.

Oooh a cliffhanger! Dontcha hate those? Well I do too. Next chapter soon! (Please Review...and maybe I'll put the next chapter up sooner!) A/N: This chapter kinda pissed me off...I'm against killing children and I am SO against molestation that it's not even funny....I SWEAR THAT THIS STORY WILL NOT BECOME A LEMON.....EVER! Also, Zenota is from Taboria...the Taborians are a very violent race who is even stronger than the Saiyans. (Yes...I made them up) So just in case you were wondering...Also, he comes to get Starlight to marry him because he needs a wife to help re-populate the planet (since the population of it is about fifteen) He chooses Starlight because she is the strongest and most stable woman in the North Galaxy. (He's from the far outskirts of the North Galaxy). I put that stuff there because I'm not sure if I'm gonna write it in later or not....(
