Chapter 1:
Nine Months Ago:
Trunks was now twenty-one with shoulder length violet hair, blue eyes and plenty of muscles. He also just moved out on his own a few months ago and is doing great…surprising both of his parents.
He was currently single, much to his mother's happiness. Three months before Trunks moved out he was dating this girl that Vegeta and Bulma…especially Bulma refers to as a trashy slut with no class.
That's the main reason Trunks wanted he to move out in the first place; he really loved this girl… That was until he caught her sleeping with Goten after he got back from his year of studying over in the UK.
Chi-Chi couldn't be any prouder of her son; one had given her a granddaughter and the other just finished college at Oxford University.
That was the only reason Trunks eventually forgave Goten; because he didn't know and she had gotten him drunk.
But anyways, Trunks still went through with buying his house on his own without his parents' help. And he did that because he knows how his parents are when it comes to controlling things.
Had they helped him buy his house, there would've been a butt-load of rules that what would've been the point of moving out in the first place.
It wasn't an overly large place like where had grown up, but it was home; he had also graduated a two-year college about a year ago…
Anyways…
Trunks was out listening to his music on his new device that he was able to finally save up for when he heard something that caught his attention…in a negative way.
He had heard what he thought sounded like a young girl in trouble; he was hoping he was hearing wrong. He was hoping the girl wasn't being raped; but he was sure with what he heard next.
"Ahhh! Ple-please s-s-stop! I-I-I do-don't want this! I promise to be a good girl! Ple-please! I-I-I won't try to run away anymore and I-I-I won't tell anyone! Please stop!" The young girl screamed, scared.
"Ok…where is that coming from? They're not close whoever or wherever they are. If they were close by you would think someone would be helping her…I would hope anyways…" Trunks said as he listened closely.
"Hey buddy, what are you doing?" Goten asked slapping Trunks on the back when he seen him just standing there.
Goten was now nineteen and had short spiky hair instead of long spiky hair like his dad or how he used to have it. He is now, much to her father's dismay, dating Bulla.
"Shut up and listen. Someone's in trouble." Trunks said seriously as he stood there listening.
"This way!" Trunks exclaimed as he took off south towards the woods where humans normally don't go because they think it's cursed or something.
Goten was close behind him.
When they got there they were incredibly shocked, disgusted and angered by the scene that was unfolding before them.
A young girl, who was certainly not human, was being tortured and by the looks of it was about to be raped by human men who were a lot bigger than her; she was half their size…if that.
They wanted to help the girl, but they needed to figure out why they were doing this. Why were they torturing her so?
"Please…" The girl begged, pleading with the men weakly.
"Why would we spare you?" One of the men asked ripping her dress apart.
"You're not human; you're kind shouldn't be here. Why should we spare you?" Another man asked pulling her bra down to reveal her breasts.
"What did you say you were again? Half Nekodian and half Saiyan? I don't know what a Nekodian is, but I do know Saiyans…we have a few of them here; we also have half breeds as well…but those are half human. I can't believe a human would sink so low as to half any type of relations with a filthy dirty alien. Saiyans are bad enough, but those human/Saiyan half breeds are even worse… Aren't you're race supposed to be strong; you were really easy to get. Well, let's get started; just relax and enjoy. Because after the three of us are done with you, you will cease to exist. So…have you ever had sex before? Oh, so you're a virgin then. That's great; I'll start." The biggest man of the three, assumed to be the boss or whatever asked looking at her.
"Ok, I've seen and heard enough…you?" Trunks asked angrily. Something inside him snapped; and Goten saw it.
"Same; let's go!" Goten exclaimed before they took off towards the men.
"Get away from her!" Trunks yelled immediately punching the one man in the face.
"What the…who the hell are you?" The boss guy asked holding his face as Goten and Trunks knocked the other two guys out.
"We're two of the half human half Saiyans you were just talking about." Goten said flexing his fingers.
"What do you want? Hey, back off; she's ours!" The man exclaimed, but quickly piped down and backed up into a tree when he seen the look on Trunks's face.
"So, you just kidnapped her from her family?" Trunks asked seething.
"What? No; I bought her from some guy in the space merchant business. He goes out and collects rare and hard to find objects; this time he brought back the girl!" The man exclaimed scared; afraid they were going to kill him.
"Goten…take them to the police. Explain to them what we just learned; I'll take care of the girl…" Trunks said and then trailed off when he seen the girl running away.
"Hey wait!" Trunks yelled chasing after her.
"I just want to help you!" Trunks yelled again after a few minutes of running.
After half an hour or so Trunks finally not only lost sight of the girl, but also her scent.
Before leaving Trunks decided to search the area; there were a lot of places she could be hiding…
But in the end he gave up because her scent was nowhere near where he was; and there was no way that she was small enough to get into to tubes.
Several Hours Later: One of Bulma's Parties:
Trunks was sitting at a table in his parent's backyard thinking when Goten came up to him.
He really didn't want to be there at that moment; he wanted to be home, but his mother forced him to come.
"Were you able to catch up to her?" Goten asked getting everyone's attentions.
"No…" Trunks sighed.
"Who? What's going on?" Bulma asked curious.
"Some girl we saved from being raped earlier. Some guys were torturing her and were about to rape her when we interrupted them." Trunks said dully.
"Oh my god; is she ok?" Bulma, Videl and Chi-Chi asked right away.
"I don't know…she ran away from me when I tried to make sure she was ok and all that. I chased her until I lost sight of her and her scent…" Trunks explained saying it a certain way that got Vegeta's attention.
Bulma now had short blue hair that was slightly dulling in color with age and blue eyes.
Vegeta had cut his long spiky hair short with a bit of gray in it due to age and of course his black eyes.
But before Vegeta could say anything however, Bulla and one of her best friends showed up.
"Hey everyone!" Bulla said happily.
"Trunks!" Bulla's friend called happily.
"Hi Tandy…" Trunks said as he tried to avoid her.
Bulla was now sixteen with long blue hair and blue eyes just like her mother; she and Goten were now dating.
Tandy was another reason he didn't want to be there that night…
Tandy is a sweet girl and all, but Trunks has no interest in her. In all reality, Trunks doesn't think she has any real interest in him; she just wants to fuck him and be done.
Oh, and Tandy is half human and Saiyan as well…and she's Goku's niece. Apparently, Raditz and Goku have a sister; she's the middle child. Anyways, that being said Tandy's mother is a Saiyan while her father is human.
Tandy is sixteen with long dark green hair, black eyes and is a bit taller than the average girl. And again, she's a sweet girl; she just comes on a little too strong at times.
"Hey Tandy, where are your parents?" Bulma asked looking at the girl.
"They said they'd be here fifteen minutes or so; daddy had to go pick up mom from work." Tandy said with a smile as she tried to hang onto Trunks.
"Tandy…Trunks has no interest in you. I'm not trying to be mean or rude or anything…but he's just not that interested." Vegeta said as calmly as he could.
"Vegeta!" "Daddy!" Bulma and Bulla exclaimed at the same time.
"Tandy is a sweet girl…" Bulma started, but was interrupted.
"If the two of them would just get together Tandy and I could be sisters!" Bulla cried out.
"He's not interested…nor did they connect. They're not soul mates or whatever like you and him…" Vegeta said as a dark, ominous aura surrounded when he spoke about Bulla and Goten being mates.
"Goten, he's your best friend; you can get Trunks to date Tandy, can't you?" Bulla asked hanging on Goten's arm, giving him the look while Tandy stood there pleading with him.
Goten stood there, not knowing what to do.
"That's enough! Tandy, I like you; you're a sweet girl and all…but my dad's right; I don't have any feelings towards you and I don't want to just have sex with you and be done. All I want to do is go home and figure out where that girl went; and make sure she's ok! I also want to find out why I even care so much!" Trunks exclaimed shocking everyone there.
"Oh that reminds me. What is a Nekodian?" Goten asked getting Vegeta's and Tandy's mom's attentions when she arrived.
"Nekodian? I haven't heard that term for a long time." Collie said as she stood with her husband, Graver.
"Where did you hear that?" Vegeta asked right away.
"Those men who were planning on raping the girl called her half Nekodian and half Saiyan…" Trunks said plainly.
"Well…that's not even possible. Any and all Nekodians were wiped out years ago by some guy named Dr. Kota and his group of their kind. He thought if he wiped them out including their princess that they would gain ultimate power. Instead they all died off about five years ago…I think. The Nekodians, by the way were a race of humanoid cat people aliens, who normally stayed hidden and away from any type of conflict; they were a peaceful race. That being said they weren't a very strong race either. The only reason other races sought them out was because they were immortal…or looked as they stopped aging in their late teens or early twenties. They not only were immortal, but could give others immortality. The only way they could die is if they were killed." Collie explained calmly.
"Well…that's not exactly true. My younger brother, Tarble said that a Saiyan warrior had gone to look for the Nekodians and actually ended up finding them. He met with and fell in love with their princess and she with him. That was about…twenty five years ago. They could've mated and procreated. Nekodians like Saiyans also connect with other beings. I'm kind of surprised that guy was able to find them…" Vegeta said sighing.
"Why do you say that?" Trunks and Bulma asked as more friends came by.
"Hello everyone!" A short, young looking girl with shoulder length peach colored hair and red eyes said happily.
"Hi Peaches." Everyone responded.
"I hope you all don't mind, but I brought my older brother; his name is Berry." Peaches said happily introducing her older brother, Berry.
Berry had short peach colored hair and red eyes as well.
Peaches and Berry were an alien species that looked human who were from the planet Venus. Their kind is very loving; they also know about love…seeing as they are from the planet of love which used to be overseen by Aphrodite.
Peaches by the way was only fifteen and her brother was nineteen.
"No it's perfectly fine; the more, the merrier. Besides, I made a little too much food this time!" Bulma said excitedly.
'You always make too much food…even for Goku, Vegeta, Collie and them. You make enough to feed like three armies or something…' Everyone thought to themselves with sweat drops.
"Wow…" Both Berry and Tandy said locking eyes.
"Looks like we have a new connection!" Peaches said happily.
"So what are your plans after all this?" Tandy asked mesmerized.
"Not much. Why do you ask? What are your plans?" Berry asked just as mesmerized.
"She has to do her school work and then get ready for bed…without a guy. Thank you very much." Both Collie and Graver said standing behind their daughter.
"Mom! Dad!" Tandy cried embarrassed.
"Hey, where's Leriac?" Bulma asked looking at Peaches.
Leriac was another Saiyan that came around a few years ago; he's actually a sweet guy. He and Peaches connected and became official mates a few months ago. They live together…along with Berry; so…they haven't had sex yet.
Leriac, like normal full Saiyans has black hair and eyes. But he normally kept his hair flat; it's now short. And did he do that might you ask? He's discovered hair spray and hair gel. It is however, a pain in the ass to try to keep managed, so just last night he allowed Peaches to cut it.
Also, Trunks and Leriac are really good friends along with Goten.
"He couldn't get out of work; he said he'll be here later." Peaches said with a smile.
"Hey boy." Vegeta said as Trunks walked over to a tree, Bulma right behind them.
"What?" Trunks asked somewhat annoyed.
"Tell me everything you remember about this girl." Vegeta said demanding an answer.
"What?" Trunks asked confused.
"What did she look and smell like?" Vegeta asked getting Collie's attention.
"Well…she had long, dark brownish-orange hair tied up in messy pigtails, brown, orange, black and white cat ears, no tail of any sort and I think her eyes were green…but I didn't get that too good of a look at them. She smelt of…I don't know…a mixture of things; dirt, tears, blood and fear…a lot of fear." Trunks explained.
"Look past the dirt, tears, blood and fear. Think; if she weren't in that situation, what did she smell like?" Vegeta asked again.
"I can't; she smells like she hasn't been able to bathe in weeks. But, if anything, I got a light hint of mixed berries and roses." Trunks said causing Vegeta to snap is fingers.
"I knew it." Vegeta said right away.
"Knew what?" Bulma, Trunks and Collie asked confused.
"The girl you saw and saved…the reason you feel like you have to find her to make sure she's ok is because she's your future mate. Even if it was just a mere second, you connected in some way." Vegeta explained to a very shocked Trunks…and an equally shocked Bulma.
"My baby boy has a mate?" Bulma asked becoming all teary eyed.
"Ahh mom…come on; I don't even know this girl!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Maybe so, but you've at least connected with her…" Vegeta started.
"Ok…but what about her? Doesn't she get a choice in all this; in who she wants to be with?" Trunks asked annoyed.
"Relax…if she hasn't connected with you yet, she will eventually. One only connects with the one they're meant to be with. What that means is you and whoever that girl is are meant to be. She'll realize it eventually. And, I'm sure you'll see her again; it's fate." Vegeta said calmly until he seen black smoke coming out of the grill.
"Ahh! Women the meat!" Vegeta yelled freaking out.
"Oh right…I almost forgot about that." Bulma said walking over to the grill while Vegeta stood next to Trunks having a heart attack or something.
The meat by the way wasn't burnt; something had fallen through the grate and into the bottom.
That night everyone had a great time, talking and laughing. Even Trunks had lightened up, relaxed and had a good time.
One Month Later:
It had been a month since Trunks had seen, heard or smelt that girl. He even went to that same area over and over again just to see if he could pick up on something.
Today was no different than any of the others…other then he decided to go into the forest a little more.
And boy was he glad that he did.
"Hey!" Trunks exclaimed when he seen that same girl from a few weeks ago wearing the exact same thing she was wearing then…kind of. It was the same fabric, but instead of it being a dress it was now a skirt and shirt.
As soon as he called out to her, the girl took off again.
And just like before everything about her disappeared.
"Ok…there is no way her scent could disappear that fast; she's here; and she's hiding. But there's only one place she could…but I don't see how she can squeeze through such tiny space to get into the tubes." Trunks said to himself.
He thought about looking; but decided on backing off for the day.
This went on for another two weeks, him finding and following her; he eventually figured out how she was getting into the tubes. She wasn't going on top of tem to get in…or even on the sides; there was an opening on the bottom, just big enough for a person to get in.
"Ok…I know you're in there. And I know how you're getting in there. I could easily get in there to talk to you…but I'm going to stay up here. Now, you may not want to talk to me, but I want to talk to you." Trunks said peering into one of the cracks to kind of see her.
After a few minutes he just sat there sighing.
"Ok…well I've got to go, but I'll be back…" Trunks said looking at his communication device to see his mom was calling him; she wanted to talk to him.
At Bulma's & Vegeta's:
"There you are! I've been calling you for about forty-five minutes now! Where on earth were you?!" Bulma asked frustrated as she and Vegeta stood at the kitchen counter.
"I was out in the "cursed" area with all the tubes." Trunks said not even bothering to try to lie or avoid his mother's questions.
"Why were you there of all places?" Bulma asked freaked out.
"That's where that girl is!" Trunks snapped back without meaning to.
"Mom, I'm sorry…" Trunks started.
"Its fine…she's actually the reason I wanted to talk to you. You still don't know her name…so it's safe to say she's still not talking. But what is she doing there of all places?" Bulma asked looking at Trunks.
"She's afraid of people…and that's a safe place for her to hide as humans don't really go there; she's living in the tubes. There's a spot on the bottom big enough for people to get in. What do you want to talk about?" Trunks asked looking at his parents.
"Wait…you know where she is and how to get to where she is? Why don't you just go there and get her out?" Vegeta asked becoming annoyed.
"I'm trying to gain her trust…" Trunks sighed in frustration.
"That's what I wanted to discuss with you. She's part Nekodian correct?" Bulma asked looking at her son and husband.
"Yeah…" Trunks said not knowing what his mother was planning.
"And that makes her part cat correct?" Bulma asked again.
"Yes women; Nekodians are cat people. What are you getting at?" Vegeta asked becoming annoyed at whatever it is his wife was doing.
"She's scared and obviously new to earth…well newish. She's like a feral cat…scared, lonely, probably hungry. She doesn't know who she can trust. She wants to trust you, but she's scared. So, why don't you show her that she can trust you just a little faster then what you're currently doing?" Bulma asked looking directly at Trunks, who was now giving her just as confused face as Vegeta was.
"Get a rescue cat or kitten from a shelter and show it love and compassion. But take it to where the girl is and do it there so she can see that if you can get a cat or kitten to trust you; she can trust you as well." Bulma said happily.
"Thanks mom." Trunks said as he went to hug his mother.
"That's actually a good idea." Vegeta said standing there dumbfounded.
"Wait, where are you going?" Bulma asked looking at her son.
"To a pound…" Trunks said looking at her as if it were obvious.
"Trunks…the pounds are all closed now; it's after eight at night." Bulma said looking at her son.
"Fine…then I'm going home…and I'll go out tomorrow." Trunks said about to leave.
"Tomorrows Sunday; pounds aren't open on Sundays…" Bulma said calmly causing Trunks to go red in the face in annoyance.
"Hey what's going on? Still no luck with your mystery girl?" Bulla asked walking into the conversation.
"Why would you bring it up now of all times then if I can't even go get a cat tomorrow?" Trunks asked becoming very annoyed and angry.
"Relax and wait here…" Bulma said as she went to her room.
She came back a few minutes later with a basket.
"I already went out and got you some; I found two sisters who were from a hoarder who wasn't caring for them. According to the vet they are five months old and are the only surviving kittens. A few other cats survived; but seeing as they were friendly and social were already adopted out. They were abused, neglected and starved. These two are a bit skittish, so work on them at home first; but then you can take them out to meet your future mate. The guy who was telling me about these two said that they are both girls because one is a torbie and the other is a tabico." Bulma said handing Trunks the basket with two sleeping kittens.
"What's a torbie and a tabico?" Bulla asked confused.
"That's what I asked as well. He said that a torbie is a tortoiseshell and tabby mix while a tabico is a calico mixed with a tabby. They're both yours to keep." Bulma explained while looking at Trunks.
"What's the catch?" Trunks asked seriously.
"What do you mean?" Bulma asked confused.
"There's always a catch; that's why I didn't ask for help in buying my house." Trunks said seriously.
"All I want from this is to meet her once you're able to get her." Bulma said simply looking at Trunks.
"Ok… Fine; I can do all that… I'll see you all later…" Trunks said sighing as he hugged his mom, dad and Bulla before leaving.
Two Weeks Later:
So for two weeks straight Trunks worked on getting the two kittens who he named Snickers and S'mores to trust him.
After about two weeks he finally got their trust and it was time to get the girl…
"Hello in there… I know you're in there; I can hear you. I just wanted you to meet some friends of mine. This is Snickers and S'mores; they are my kittens." Trunks said showing her the kittens.
After a few minutes the girl peeked through the cracks to look.
'Well…she defiantly has green eyes…' Trunks thought to himself.
"See, just like these two, I'm not going to hurt you. If you want to see and play with them, we'll be down there in the grass." Trunks said hoping she would come out soon.
It took about an hour and a half, but the girl came out and stood several feet away from him.
"There you are. Don't worry; I'll stay here." Trunks said calmly and kindly as he sat in the grass.
The kittens however, ran right to the girl; he watched as the three played and had a good time.
This went on for about three months before she came up to and would sit with him.
Then another three months before he could touch her (her arms and head). He had found that she loves her ears being scratched.
Trunks was being as calm and as patient with the girl as he could unlike his parents…for some weird reason.
Well, his mom he understood; he was her baby boy as she puts it after all. She felt she needed to approve of any girl he may be with…which annoyed the crap out of Trunks. However, with this girl, she could tell he was really in love with; she started making her a plate for lunch and dinner. They were on paper plates and they were normally leftovers, or sandwiches; but she was thinking about the girl…and she was worried about her being out there in that place…and alone nonetheless.
His dad on the other hand…he couldn't figure out; but he was decent about it.
With Trunks…he had no problem waiting; he was just bothered by the fact that she still wasn't talking. He knows she can talk; he heard her screaming for help that first day. But…he wasn't going to push her.
"So…I'll see you again tomorrow?" Trunks asked looking at her as it got dark while they both stood up; her to go to her tube where she was living and him and his kittens to his home.
Snickers and S'mores were now eleven and a half months old.
Trunks was really starting to worry about the girl now because it was starting to become colder out…in just a few weeks to a month it would start snowing.
She just smiled softly at him as she went to go to her tube…
"Are you warm enough up there?!" Trunks asked right away, not thinking.
The girl turned to look at him, with a little fear in her eyes, but she smiled.
"…Yes…" She said slowly and softly before she was gone.
'She may not be all that strong…but she's certainly fast.' Trunks thought to himself.
"Hmmm?" Trunks asked quickly looking one way; he could've sworn he saw someone after hearing a twig or stick snap.
'Please be safe…one more night…' Trunks thought to himself as he reluctantly went home.
An Hour Later: At his home.
"Well, you're home late tonight." Bulma said scaring the hell out of Trunks.
"How on earth did you get into my house?!" Trunks asked holding his chest.
"You left your door unlocked…" Bulma started.
"What are you talking about? I locked my door; I always lock my door." Trunks said defending himself.
"Well, it was unlocked when we got here…" Bulma said simply.
"Eww!" Bulla exclaimed walking in while placing her hand on the spot where the door normally click shut.
"What are you complaining about now?" Trunks asked annoyed.
"There's something sticky on your door!" Bulla complained as she looked at her hand.
"That's gum…go wash your hands." Bulma said looking at Bulla's hand while taking a paper towel and cleaning it off.
"I didn't think you chewed gum anymore…" Vegeta said looking at Trunks.
"I don't…the last person who chewed gum here was…the cable guy. I had cable installed here today and…that girl! Call the guys and look around for spyware; I'm going to call Piccolo!" Trunks exclaimed as he quickly left his house.
Half an Hour Later:
Trunks was going at full force…Piccolo right behind him.
When they got to where the girl was staying they found that there was a ladder to the entrance of her tube with a man standing there.
"Waahhhh!" They heard a girl…the girl scream in panic and then sounded like her falling over.
"You go find your girl; I'll take care of that guy." Piccolo said calmly before teleporting over to the man on the ladder.
When Trunks had found the girl, her leg was caught in some kind of wire that was being pulled in one direction.
"Hey!" He yelled when he seen the man who was pulling her; it was the "cable" guy.
"Back of you! Skyley belongs to me! I found her alone with no one and brought her here; she should be grateful to me! And then to come to find that she had escaped my men… Naughty, naughty. She needs to be punished! Besides boy, she's not human; you had your little fun with her. But you shouldn't want anything to do with her." The man explained after pulling Skyley towards him again.
"News flash for you…I'm not exactly human myself; I'm half Saiyan…just like her. And I'll prove it to you." Trunks said immediately changing into a Super Saiyan.
This man was human so Trunks didn't need to uber power up.
"Wh-what the hell?" The man asked freaked out; he had really thought Trunks was human. All the Saiyans he had seen had black spiky hair and black eyes. This kid had violet hair and blue eyes.
"Let her go…now!" Trunks exclaimed pulling his sword out.
"Hey, need any help?" Vegeta asked landing next to Trunks.
"Yo-you-you're a Saiyan…" The man said, nearly wetting himself.
"We got the other three…" Piccolo said along with Yamcha and Tien.
"It really wasn't that hard to find you guys; we just followed Vegeta here." Yamcha said calmly.
"Wait…you two…you two are humans aren't you?" The man asked looking at Tien and Yamcha.
"Yeah…and?" Tien and Yamcha asked looking at him.
"How can you be friends with dirty stinking Saiyans and whatever he is?" The man asked becoming angry, pulling Skyley again, this time causing her to smack her head on the rocks.
"They're our friends…we've known them for years…" Yamcha said simply.
"It don't matter what they are…as long as they're not evil and coming to destroy us…I can't really say assholes because Vegeta himself is an ass. But he's still a friend nonetheless." Tien explained.
"And that girl is just as innocent as any human being…" Piccolo said calmly as he held onto one of the three men.
"Bullshit! She's nothing but a filthy good for nothing…non human who needs to be raped and then killed and then dumped somewhere; she don't deserve a proper burial!" The man yelled.
"Ok…I've heard enough. Trunks, get your girl, her things and take her home!" Vegeta exclaimed before knocking the man out and taking him to prison.
"And don't worry; we got everything out of your house. There were several bugs and stuff like that. The cops have been called and everything has been explained." Tien said as he and Yamcha flew away with the other two men.
Trunks just sighed as he put his sword away and calmed down.
"So…you're name is Skyley huh? It's nice to finally have a name to your face…" Trunks said walking over to her; he tried to place his hand on her face like he would normally do, but she flinched away.
'Oh no…All that work I put in…' Trunks thought to himself.
"Mmmm…" Skyley moaned in pain from not only the wire around her ankle, the injury to her head, but Trunks also seen something stuck in her left hand.
"Skyley, please; let me help you. It's just me; it's Trunks, remember? I'm not going to hurt you; I promise…just like Snickers and S'mores. I have hurt you thus far, have I?" Trunks asked trying to get near her.
Skyley just shook her head no.
"Hey is everything ok over here?" Goten and Goku asked as they came into view…scaring Skyley.
"No, don't move; don't come any closer!" Trunks yelled back, placing his hand up to stop the two.
"Skyley, they're not going to hurt you either. The shorter one with the shorter hair…do you recognize him? He helped save you that first day. The taller guy is his father. Neither of them are going to hurt you. Those look really nasty…I think you need to go to the hospital. Goten…could you go to where the tubes are? There should be a ladder. Follow it up and into the tube it's connected to and get grab her things that are in there…I'm sure she has something in there. Take them to my place or mom's and dad's. Please." Trunks said pleading with Goten.
"Right; can do!" Goten said taking off.
"Goku…can you please…very slowly and quietly, remove that wire from around her leg? And Skyley, please, we're here to help you; we're going to get you help. Ok? You can trust me; you know this." Trunks said going up to Skyley so that he could get a hold of her.
Once that wire was cut she could go crashing down.
Once both guys were in position Skyley froze; but relaxed once that wire was loosened and removed from her leg.
"Ok…let's get you to some help. Please?" Trunks asked looking at the young girl in his arms; he had managed to get his arms under her legs and behind her back.
Skyley didn't say anything, but gave him permission with a small nod.
"Thanks Goku…" Trunks said as he stood up slowly.
"No problem; I'll see you around. Guess I'll go help Goten." Goku said with a smile as they both went their separate ways.
Three Hours Later:
Trunks P.O.V.:
I was in a room waiting for Skyley to get out of surgery.
"Trunks?" I heard my mom asked as she and dad came into the room.
"Hey…what are you doing here? How did you find me?" I asked somewhat shocked, looking at mom and dad.
"Goku and Goten said you'd be here. Bulla, Goten and Piccolo are watching your house; we didn't know what was going on. We didn't want anything more to happen while you were out. But that's just me being paranoid or something. Dr. Bulba is a friend of mine; he told us what room you were in. So…her name is Skyley?" My mom asked looking at me.
"Ahh…I see. Yes, her name is Skyley; but that's all I know at this moment." I said looking at them.
"So…why is she in surgery?" My dad asked seriously looking around.
"The wire that the man had tied around her ankle left pieces of metal in her leg and deep cuts. She had a large splinter, plus a few smaller splinters as well lodged deep in her left hand. The doctor and nurses tried to remove them without surgery…but she wasn't having any of that; she had to be sedated. She smashed her head pretty hard; but she just got a concussion from that. That's why they were afraid to put her under to do surgery…but they said they had no choice in the end." I explained as my mom sat down; that meant she was staying…whether I wanted her to or not…
"Why'd they have to sedate her?" Mom and dad asked at the same time.
"My guess is because she's afraid. Dr. Bulba called me into the room after an hour to see if that would help…but by then two or three of the nurses had sedated her because she wouldn't stop screaming, kicking and throwing her arms around. According to Dr. Bulba…she wouldn't stop screaming for me…which is beyond me because she's never said anything to me…other than a yes when I asked if she'd be warm enough in the tube she was staying in." I explained, sighing here and there.
"That's it…that girl needs to be living somewhere safe." Mom said determined.
"Yes…I know…" I sighed.
"Oh, I washed her blankets, pillows and stuffed bear. Goten said that's all he could find up in the tube. You had asked him to get her things…" Mom said before the doctor came in with Skyley, who looked as if she was starting to wake up.
"Ok…she did really well. We monitored her brain activity the entire time to make sure all was good; and all is. She might find it hard to use her left hand and she might be limping for a few days to a week…two at the most. I would like to keep her over night if at all possible. But when she does leave here please make sure she keeps her wounds clean so that they don't become infected. We don't have a lot of information on her, but dental records show that she's only fifteen or sixteen. Oh and we had this one guy…he claims she's royalty…something about the necklace she wears. But as soon as I went to ask him what he was talking about he was gone; he had just disappeared. He either wasn't there and I was imagining things…or he was dead or something because people kept asking if I was ok and who I talking to. So…other then that I know nothing. Press the red button if you need anything." Dr. Bulba said before leaving.
"Mmm? Mmm? Mmmmm?!" Skyley started to freak out against her restraints.
"Skyley, calm down; you're safe. Everything's ok. That? Those are bandages; the doctors removed the pieces of wood from your hand and stitched it up. The doctors helped you. You're strapped down because you were kicking, hitting and screaming; this is not only for their safety, but yours as well." I explained trying to get her to calm down; she then saw my parents.
"These are my mom, Bulma and my dad, Vegeta. They're not going to hurt you; I promise. Would you like your wrists untied?" I explained calmly, looking at her as she looked past me to my parents.
"…Yes…" She said slowly and softly.
"If I untie you, will you promise not to swing your arms?" I asked seriously.
"…Yes…" She said once again slowly and softly.
I had no reason not to trust her as I untied her restraints.
That night we figured out that as long as I was in the room with her, Skyley never once freaked out.
It was when I wasn't in the room and the nurses tried to take care of her.
Right now I was the only one she trusted. And as nice as that was; it was also a bother when all these people were trying to do was to help her.
Granted, they did try to do blood work without asking or telling her; a needle would probably freak anyone who didn't understand out.
The Next Day:
"Are you ready to go home?" Dr. Bulba asked kindly as we sat there waiting.
Skyley nodded her head.
"Well good. Please try to stay safe and out of trouble from now on. A nurse will be in, in just a little bit to remove your IVs and you're free to go." Dr. Bulba said politely before leaving.
"So…do you think she'll go back to her tube?" Mom asked worriedly.
"Skyley?" I asked sitting in a chair next to her bed.
"Hmm?" Skyley asked softly.
"I want you to listen to me, ok? I'm going to say something and I don't want you to argue or try to run away from me; I just want you to agree. Ok?" I said seriously, looking directly at her…directly into her eyes; I had her complete attention…one hundred percent.
"…Yes…" She said just as soft as ever.
"I don't want you living in that tube anymore…none of us do. As crazy as my parents, young sister and friends are…none of them are going to hurt you. I want you to come live with me in my house. No, we don't have to share a room; I have two spare rooms that you can pick from. One: it's safer then that tube and two: it's getting colder out. My house is warm and stays warm all winter. It also stays cool in the spring and summer. Please Skyley; don't argue and just come stay with me." I said pleading with her as I took her hands in mine.
"…Ok…" She said softly, still looking directly into my eyes. I could've sworn I seen a small flash of something run across her eyes…but I don't know. But she sure as hell made my dad.
"Hi sweetie…" My mom started slowly.
"I brought a few of my older clothes from when I was younger…they may be a little big on you. But, they'll do until we can buy you some clothes when you feel better…or up to it…" My mom said pulling out some old pink dress.
Either she didn't trust mom enough yet, or she didn't know what to say, but Skyley lightly bowed her head in thanks as a nurse came in to remove her IVs so she could leave.
That was about a month ago; we were now in November.
We found out at that time she was only fifteen and that her birthday was November 16th.
Mom wants to throw a whole big thing…but that's not a good idea; not with Skyley and how she is. But knowing my mom and how she is…she's going t to do it anyways…
Skyley moved in right away and was staying in one of the spare bedrooms…with Snickers and S'mores; they chose her over me…I guess it's those cat genes or something.
She didn't have much and she was just sleeping on the futon I had used for if Goten or someone spent the night. She really didn't seem to care. I guess after sleeping on a few thin blankets on a hard tube, anything would feel better.
Bulla had bought an entirely new bed set, so she gave Skyley her old stuff…to which again, Skyley didn't seem to care; they were warm and I think that's all that mattered.
She still doesn't talk much…a few words here and there… But we're getting somewhere.
The only people she trusts are me, my parents and Bulla; everyone else…are still a work in progress…
