8 Years & 5 Months Later: May:
Lily had been part of the family for a little over eight years now and she was now a beautiful twelve year old girl.
She's still a little slow, but she's in school and hasn't been held back or anything…granted she's in special education class; but so are her friends.
Along with being a little slow, she's still very kind with a big heart.
Trunks, Vegeta, Goku and all the others were preparing to fight Raditz and his army or whatever as Lily is now twelve and that's when Future Trunks warned they were coming.
For Trunks and family, Lily is no longer their only concern; Trunks is now with Koi and they have Knickers who is three and then there are the twins, Rose and Violet who are four months old.
Bulla has her son Cosmos who is four and her new son Khaki who is seven months old.
Lily is very helpful with Knickers, Rose and Violet; she's been helping as much as she can since they were born. And boy, do Trunks and Koi love her help; they always tell her they don't know what they'd do if she weren't there.
Trunks met Koi when Lily was seven years and four months old; however, he didn't introduce the two until Lily was seven and a half…two months later.
Once they did meet, Lily and Koi clicked right away.
When Lily was eight and a half Trunks marked and mated Koi and they were married just before Knickers was born when Lily was nine.
Lily was also nine when she asked Koi if she could start calling her mom…to which Koi started crying with tears of happiness and hugged Lily tightly saying "of course."
Oh, and Trunks and Lily moved out of his parents when Lily was eight…which she has a very hard time with.
They figured out when Lily was about five that she has a hard time dealing with change; the only change she accepted right away was Koi and her younger siblings.
Trunks loved all of his children equally, but Lily held a special place in his heart. And he's truly happy because now he has a full happy family…with possibly more kids to come; they don't know yet.
Bulla and Goten only want one or two more kids.
Bulma wants them to have many more kids; she loves being a grandma.
Vegeta…he just wants what makes his kids happy…he would say that his fighting grandchildren who would beat Goku's; but two of his grandchildren are also Goku's.
Goku has many grandchildren now as well and is happy to say he's somewhat related to Vegeta now.
Anyways…
Right now Lily was out in a field of flowers, picking them for family members and friends; she was told it was safe because Vegeta knew Raditz well enough.
Wrong. He knew the old Raditz; he doesn't know the new, reincarnated Raditz.
Lily was picking flowers when she got a really bad feeling.
"I should get home…" Lily said to herself as she stood up with her flowers.
However, when she turned around there was a man she didn't recognize standing there; he had long, spiky black hair that reached his ankle, black eyes, an ape tale and he was dressed in armor. It was Raditz…but she didn't know that.
"Where are you going little girl?" Raditz asked stepping towards her.
"Umm…I've got to get home." Lily said as calmly as she could; she was trying to show him that she wasn't scared…which was failing miserably.
"Hey dad, is this the girl?" A much older boy in his early twenties with long black hair and black eyes and was dressed the same as the other guy asked looking at Raditz.
"Yes Choy, this is Lily Briefs, granddaughter to Vegeta. She's also the daughter or that Daisy…the last original Nekodian…who is now dead. So this girl is half Nekodian and half Saiyan. She can give us all the power we need to beat Vegeta and his group." Raditz said happily, laughing maniacally along with his son, Choy.
While they were laughing, Lily started running away. She made it to the end of the field when Raditz came and chopped her on the back of her neck, knocking her out cold.
"I know you girls are there; let Vegeta know that I have his granddaughter." Raditz said taking Lily away; Choy following them.
With Paisley & Sammy:
"So where are we going?" Paisley asked looking at Sammy.
"We're going to meet Lily in the flower fields." Sammy said calmly.
"Lily's been going there a lot lately." Paisley said confused.
"Yes; she said she's been having dreams calling her there." Sammy said.
"There she is!" Paisley said excitedly.
"Wait! There's someone there with her." Sammy said holding her back.
"Who is that?" Paisley asked confused.
"I don't know…but Lily looks scared. Now she's running; they're bad men." Sammy said as she tried to encourage Lily to run faster.
"Oh no Lily!" Paisley and Sammy exclaimed as quietly as they could when Raditz hit, knocking her out.
"I know you girls are there; let Vegeta know that I have his granddaughter." Raditz said taking Lily away; Choy following them.
"What are we going to do?" Paisley asked freaking out.
"We're going to get Vegeta and the others know." Sammy said seriously.
"But that's what he wants." Paisley said worried.
"Wake up and smell the roses! What choice do we have? We certainly can't do anything; we need the others. Neither you nor I or Clover and Sapphire can control our powers yet. We need to get Vegeta and the others or we might never see Lily again!" Sammy exclaimed smacking some sense into Paisley.
"You're right; let's go." Paisley said as they started running to Bulma's and Vegeta's.
They ran two miles all the way to Lily's grandparent's house and started frantically knocking; Trunks answered the door.
"Oh hey girls; Lily's not here right now." Trunks said calmly.
"We know! The man took her at the field of flowers!" The girls yelled at the same time, clearly upset.
"What? What man?" Trunks asked right away.
"The man; he had long, spiky black hair that reached his ankles and black eyes!" Paisley said out of breath.
"And an ape tale…and an older son." Sammy said also out of breath.
"Raditz?" Vegeta asked shocked.
"I thought you said he would warn you first!" Bulma exclaimed pissed off while Trunks stood there shocked.
"Did they say where he was taking her?" Vegeta asked looking at the girls.
"No…he just said to tell you that he took your granddaughter." The girls said at the same time, still out of breath.
"Girls, come inside; get some water." Bulma said inviting the girls in before glaring daggers at her husband.
"Get my granddaughter back…" Bulma growled at Vegeta.
Several Hours Later:
With Lily:
"Wake up!" Raditz yelled at an unconscious Lily, who was tied up and gagged.
"Mmmm…" Lily cried scared, trying to back away; her hands were tied behind her back and her legs were tied together.
"Now that I have your attention…STOP CRYING!" Raditz yelled pissed off; he only scared Lily more.
"Do you want me to try?" Choy asked looking at his father.
"No. Now, I'm going to remove your gag; and when I do you're not going to scream are you?" Raditz asked looking at Lily; she shook her head no.
"Good." Raditz said removing the gag.
He waited a few minutes after; all Lily did was cry.
"Good girl… Now, here's what I want from you; you're going to give me what want. I want you to release all your powers to destroy your family…because well; we're your new family." Raditz said seriously.
"Are you crazy?" Lily asked softly.
"I've been told that, yes." Raditz answered honestly.
"I'm not going to help you; I'm on the side of good." Lily said through bravely through tears…that was until both Raditz and Choy started yelling at her.
"You will do as I say!" Raditz yelled.
"N-no…" Lily stuttered out, tears just rushing down her cheeks.
"Gahh…you're useless. But you'll come around. You'll get hungry and thirsty." Raditz said eerily calm as he tied Lily, arms up to a pole and re-gagged her
"When you're ready to cooperate, then I'll untie and feed you. Haruto; get your ass in here!" Raditz yelled pissed off while Lily closed her eyes and cried.
"Yes, what is it?" A boy, about fifteen with greenish-blue colored hair and yellow eyes asked walking in; he looked annoyed.
"Watch the girl." Raditz said seriously.
"You can manage that, can't you little brother?" Choy asked, mocking Haruto.
"Yes, I can do that." Haruto said looking directly at Choy.
"Good. Well, I'm going to get something to eat and then head to bed; Choy get some food and rest as well.
"Good lord…kidnapping?" Haruto asked looking at Lily after his dad and brother were out of the room.
"Hey." Haruto said walking over to Lily, kneeling next to her; she did nothing but silently cry, sniffling here and there.
"What are these?" Haruto asked gently pulling two dog tag like necklaces from around her neck.
The first one read:
My name is Lily Briefs
I am twelve years old
I have Autism & ADD
I sometimes get lost
I live at _
My phone number is 382-****
My parents are Trunks & Koi Briefs
The Second one read:
My name is Lily Briefs
I am twelve years old
I have Autism & ADD
I sometimes get lost
My grandparents are Vegeta & Bulma Briefs
They live at _
Their phone number is 328-****
"Oh, so you're the girl they want. But, I guess I knew that already. So, you're half Saiyan and half Nekodian? Open your eyes." Haruto said looking at Lily, who kept her eyes tightly closed.
"So…you're half Nekodian; you like this…particularly right here." Haruto said screeching Lily's ear, closest to her head; she couldn't help it and started lightly purring.
"I'm not going to hurt you; you can open your eyes. If you open your eyes, you'll see you're not the only one of your kind; I'm like you." Haruto tried again.
He waited a few minutes and she finally opened her eyes to look at him.
The first thing she noticed about him was his ears; they were like hers except brown instead of black.
"See? You're just like me? I can say that because I'm older than you by three years." Haruto said calmly.
Then it happened; they looked into each other's eyes and their breaths were taken away after each of their eyes sparkled for each other.
"Hey! What are you doing over there with her?!" Choy asked pushing Haruto out of the way.
"You really are a cute little thing, aren't you?" Choy asked placing his hand on her thigh and squeeze a little.
"Mmmm…" Lily cried out, trying to pull away from him; she was scared. Nothing like this has happened to her since she was three.
"Get away from her!" Haruto yelled pissed off, knocking Choy away from Lily; he had changed into a Super Saiyan…so Choy transformed into a Super Saiyan as well.
"What's going on in here?!" Raditz asked pissed off, bursting into the room.
"You stay away from her!" Haruto yelled again.
"He's acting all crazy like! He attacked me after I decided to toy with the girl a little!" Choy yelled, ready to attack Haruto back.
"NO! No, no, no! Don't attack your brother! I know what's going on here." Raditz said calmly, with a smile.
"What's going on?" Choy asked confused.
"First off…Haruto calm down. Don't worry; nobody's going to touch your mate. Haruto and Lily connected; they are mates…or they will be when the time is right. Choy, you can't touch his girl. Which is good for us. Now, girl; you and Haruto are meant to be…which means you have to do exactly what he says. So you will unleash your powers and destroy your family." Raditz said seriously; Lily just shook her head no.
"Oh yes you will; you have no choice. Haruto, stay here and convince your mate what to do. I'm going to bed. Choy, go to bed and leave them alone. Actually, Choy…you go now." Raditz warned seriously and then said, demanding Choy leave the room first.
After a few minutes Haruto calmed down and transformed back to normal.
"I'm sorry about them…" Haruto said calmly as he sat next to Lily.
"Mmmm…mmmm…" Lily made noises as she tried to speak.
"Oh sorry…here." Haruto said removing her gag.
"What's connecting and mate mean?" Lily asked confused.
"It means we're meant to be…I think you know the term soul mate." Haruto explained calmly.
"How do they know that?" Lily asked upset.
"Something to do with our eyes and breaths being taken away." Haruto explained.
"Where's your mom? Does she agree with all this?" Lily asked looking at Haruto.
"My mom's dead; dad killed her after he raped her to get me." Haruto said darkly.
"I-I'm sorry." Lily said sadly.
"It's not your fault…" Haruto sighed.
"Soo…what's your family like?" Haruto asked calmly.
"I love my family; I miss my family. I have my daddy and my step mom; I have a younger brother and two new younger sisters. I want to go home." Lily explained and then started crying.
"Hmmm…" Haruto sighed as he sat there.
Four Hours Later:
Lily was starting to fall asleep when Haruto cut her restraints and placed her over his shoulder.
"What are you doing? Where are we going?" Lily asked softly, dazed and confused.
"Shhh… Just keep quiet and I'll get you home." Haruto said seriously.
"Thank you Haru…" Lily said before completely falling to sleep.
'That's one way to do it I guess… How can she sleep like this? I get she's part cat; but so am I. And I can't sleep like this…' Haruto thought to himself.
About ten minutes later he nearly dropped Lily, waking her up immediately.
"Ahhh…god damnit!" Haruto exclaimed holding his arm.
"What's going on? Haru, your arm; you're hurt." Lily said concerned when she seen blood flowing freely.
"I'm fine…but you're going to have to run on your own." Haruto grunted.
"I knew you were nothing but a traitor!" Choy yelled shooting off a Gatling Gun; this time he missed as Lily inadvertently created a barrier.
"Come on; we need to get to the pods!" Haruto exclaimed grabbing her arm and dragged her down a hall.
They just barely got to the pods when Choy and Raditz started catching up.
"We only have time for one pod. You go and go back to your family." Haruto said ready to face the consequences.
However, just before the pod closed and took her back to earth, Lily pulled Haruto into the pod with her; it was going to be a very cramped ride to earth.
"What'd you do?" Haruto asked as the pod was released and sent to earth.
"I wasn't leaving without you; you've done so much for me." Lily said as she healed his arm a little.
"You have healing powers?" Haruto asked looking at his arm.
"Sometimes…" Lily said softly.
"You can't control your powers, can you?" Haruto asked looking at her.
"No…they come and go when they want. My daddy and grandpa try to help me, but nothing seems to work. The only ones I can fully control are making people calmer and talking to animals. I can float, but cannot fly. I can walk through walls, read minds, but don't want to, healing and create barriers. But I can't seem to control any of them…" Lily said sadly.
"It means you're not concentrating hard enough. When you want them to work you have to completely clear your mind. If you have too much…or even just a little on your mind, they won't work." Haruto explained.
"How do you know that?" Lily asked looking at Haruto.
"I have the same problem. Now, go to sleep; it's going to be a few hours before we get there. And when we do get there you're going to need all your energy to get you home." Haruto said seriously.
"Ok…" Lily said as she fell asleep almost right away.
'She is so weird…but she's cute. She doesn't seem very bright…but what do I know? I have no clue what the hell autism or ADD are other than…nope I don't know. Hey wait…why the hell does she keep calling me Haru?' Haruto thought to himself before falling asleep himself.
Several Hours Later:
Haruto and Lily woke up to a giant crash on earth that startled them.
"Is this earth?" Haruto asked when the pod opened.
"Yes…but I don't recognize the area…" Lily said honestly.
"Look, there's a person…give me one of your tags." Haruto said calmly.
Lily gave him one of her tags and he took it to the lady he seen.
"Do you know where this is; my friend over there is very lost." Haruto said looking at the lady.
"Yes, this is the next town over; you'll want to take a bus or train to get there." The lady said politely.
"Ok. Thank you." Haruto said before heading back to Lily.
"What'd she say?" Lily asked confused.
"She said we'll need to take a train or bus to the next town over." Haruto said calmly.
"Oh…ok…" Lily said softly.
"Let's go." Haruto said taking Lily's hand; she for some reason felt really safe when he did that.
"By the way…what the hell is a bus or train?" Haruto asked making Lily giggle a little.
"I'll show you; follow me." Lily said with a smile that for some reason made Haruto melt.
After a two hour on a train Lily knew where she was.
"We'll start at grandmas and grandpas. When something goes wrong, everyone meets there." Lily said leading the way.
With Everybody:
"Where could she possibly be?" Trunks asked pacing around the house.
"I don't know…I just hope she's ok. I remember the last time we met Raditz; he was really strong. Who knows how strong he is now?" Bulma asked worried.
"I can't believe I didn't see this coming." Vegeta said completely down on himself.
"It's not your fault; it's just obvious that he's changed and you don't know him anymore." Bulma said calmly.
"What are we going to do now? She's been missing for two and a half days now…" Koi said upset.
"Mommy, where is big sister Lily?" Knickers asked walking out of his room.
"We're working on that; go back to bed." Koi said softly.
"Ok… Lily! I see Lily! And she has a friend!" Knickers said as he looked out the big window before he was supposed to go to his room.
"What? Oh my Kami!" Trunks exclaimed as he got up and ran to the door.
"Lily!" Trunks called running up to Lily right away and hugging her, Koi, Bulma and Vegeta right behind him.
"Are you ok?" Bulma asked looking at Lily; she looked dirty and beat up.
"I'm ok…but Haru's not…" Lily said pointing to Haruto.
"Haru?" Trunks, Koi, Vegeta and Bulma asked shocked looking to Lily's left.
"It's actually Haruto…" Haruto said calmly.
"He got hurt saving me… The man said that I had to go against all of you. He also said that Haruto and I connected and that we're mates. I don't really understand that. Then his older brother said he was a traitor…" Lily said as she started crying again.
"Ok. It's ok. Come on you two, both of you in the house. We'll look at your wounds." Trunks said ushering Lily and Haruto in the house…
