When Trunks got back to his place Bulma and Vegeta were waiting for him in the kitchen, both with their arms crossed over their chests.
"Woman…remind me again why we're doing this…" Vegeta said annoyed as their son came in.
"Because…something happened and he's avoiding questions! Now you tell your son to tell us what's wrong and what happened in town!" Bulma demanded making Vegeta back down and for others to look in through the doorway, wondering what was going on.
"Son…just tell your mother what happened in town." Vegeta mumbled.
"Nothing happened! Here are your groceries; I'm going out back." Trunks said rolling his eyes; this caught Vegeta's eye right away.
"Trunks! You get your ass back here and tell mother what happened in town!" Bulma yelled furious as she went charging after her son and husband.
"Did something happen in town?" Goten asked, looking at Trunks.
"NO!" Trunks yelled.
"Dude, are you sure? You're bleeding." Goten said getting Bulma's attention.
"Relax woman; it's not his blood." Vegeta said simply before looking at his son, "You met a girl today didn't you?" Vegeta asked causing everyone to look at Trunks; Bulma with sparkly eyes.
"Why didn't you bring her with? We wouldn't have done anything to embarrass you!" Bulma said excitedly.
"Sure…you wouldn't…I wouldn't really say I met a girl. It's more like I saved a girl. I was on my way home when I heard a girl crying for help; some guy, who I guess was her boyfriend was beating the crap out of her in an alley. I beat the crap out of him and he said he didn't want her anymore. I went to help her up and she said thank you…and then the strangest thing happened…" Trunks started.
"And what would that be?" Bulma asked inching closer to her son.
"When we locked eyes it felt like our breath was sucked right out of our bodies and her eyes sparkled…and then she called me Tonks…" Trunks started; he was going to continue when Beerus flew at him.
"What did you just say?" Beerus demanded.
"I was just saying how I saved a girl a little bit ago." Trunks started.
"No, not that. What was the last thing you just said?" Beerus demanded grabbing a hold of Trunks arms.
"She called me Tonks?" Trunks asked.
"Are you sure that's what she called you? What's her name?" Beerus kept on demanding.
"Lord Beerus…maybe you should calm down and let the boy speak." Whis suggested.
"Fine…well then, speak boy." Beerus demanded as he took a few steps back.
"I don't know her name; she took off after a pair of cat ears and a tail popped up and she called me Tonks. What's going on; do you know her?" Trunks asked as he felt a fury he'd never felt before.
"It depends…is this the girl?" Whis asked bringing up a picture of a young looking girl with calico cat ears, tail, magenta eyes and wavy, shoulder length deep, dark blue hair with red rose hair clips in. She wore a red and blue school girl skirt with a white top and red overcoat, a small aqua blue looking crystal around her neck along with a light blue fabric chocker, a rose bracelet.
"Yeah, that's her…but her hair is longer and I didn't see that necklace…" Trunk said looking at the picture…not able to look away until Whis pulled it back.
"Hey!" Trunks yelled having an outburst that shocked his mother.
"Trunks, what's going on with you?" Bulma asked shocked.
"I'm sorry mother; I don't know what's gotten into me today." Trunks said apologizing, after sighing.
"He's found his life mate." Both Vegeta and Beerus said at the same time.
"What?" Bulma asked confused.
"They connected; that's why it felt like their breaths were taken away like that. She's his life mate; the one he's supposed to spend the rest of his life with." Vegeta explained.
"Well it helps that they were mates long before. Trunks may just be the reincarnation of Tonks, but he's still him; he's also still Trunks. But who she sees is Tonks and I think it scares her; I think she watched him get killed. To her he's dead and she doesn't know much about reincarnation." Beerus explained.
"What can I do to get her to trust me; to know I'm here to protect her?" Trunks asked.
"She shouldn't need protection! She was equal in strength to me; she was the only one who stood a chance against me and was the best sparring partner I ever had. No offence Whis." Beerus said as mumbled that last part.
"None taken; she was really strong." Whis said simply.
"No offence, but she didn't seem very strong; she couldn't fight her way out from a mere human." Trunk said simply.
"But that's not right; she's my sparring partner!" Beerus exclaimed becoming very upset.
"My lord…maybe she's dwindling." Whis suggested.
"What do you mean?" Beerus asked.
"Maybe with whatever happened to her thousands of years ago; she needed to use a good portion of her energy and power to keep herself safe. Maybe her power is either dormant…or…or she's loosing it." Whis explained.
"She's a princess?" Chi-Chi asked looking at Beerus and Whis.
"Yes…and she's most likely the reason you're all immortal. Do you remember the day you all became immortal?" Beerus asked looking at them.
"No not really." Everyone said at the same time while putting their hands to their chins to think.
"Wait…I remember water!" Goten said making everyone look at him with shocked faces.
"What?" Everyone asked confused.
"You know water; it was dark water with waves in it." Goten said simply.
"You mean like this or this?" Whis asked pulling up a picture of water and a close up picture of the princess's hair.
"The second one." Goten said pointing to the hair.
"That's hair…it belongs to the princess." Whis said simply.
"So…are we the reason her powers are diminishing?" Krillin asked.
"No. Regardless of what happened to most of her powers; her powers of and to give immortality and healing remain. They crystal she wears can bring the dead back to life; but that takes an incredible amount of energy." Whis explained.
"Can I ask a question?" Trunks asked huffing.
"What is it?" Beerus and Whis asked.
"Does she have a name or is it just Princess?" Trunks asked slightly annoyed.
"Her name is Kayko; that's what Tonks and a few select others called her. Most just called her Princess though." Whis explained.
"Yeah and she hated it; she just wanted to be called Kayko." Beerus said rolling on the ground laughing at a memory.
"What's so funny?" Everyone asked confused.
"He's just remembering Princess Kayko in frilly dresses; she hated them, said she looked ridiculous. She preferred to wear skirts, shirts and either leggings or thigh high socks; she was kind of the odd one in her family. But because she was born with that crystal they kept a tight leash on her." Whis explained.
"Well they tried; she always got away and would train and spar with me or Tonks. Oh how her parents hated him." Beerus said still laughing.
"Why?" Everyone, mainly Trunks, Vegeta and Bulma asked confused.
"Because he was Saiyan and he wasn't from a royal or wealthy family; he was just a commoner. But to her it didn't seem to matter and no matter how much her family tried to keep them apart it never seemed to work." Beerus explained now that he was calm.
"Wait…did you say her ears and tail just popped out; they weren't there right away?" Whis asked all of the sudden.
"Yeah, why?" Trunks asked.
"Why does it matter?" Beerus asked.
"She's hiding from something; she's trying to blend in with humans. So with that being said she is growing weaker and weaker as days go by. And that also means that eventually her ears and tail won't be able to stay hidden for long; they'll just stay out like they're supposed to." Whis explained.
"I wonder who she's running from…" Goten, Gohan and Goku all said at the same time.
"Who knows…" Beerus and Whis sighed.
"Leave it to my son to find the perfect girl. Good job Trunks!" Vegeta said smacking him on the back in a congratulatory way.
"Thanks…but I haven't even talked to her. The last time I seen her she took off running." Trunks said slightly annoyed.
"Well at least she still has her spee…" Beerus started, but stopped mid sentence, sensing something; Whis sensed it too.
"What's wrong?" Goku asked immediately.
"We know what she's running from; we have to find her fast!" Beerus exclaimed in an ominous tone of voice as he took off.
"The ones that annihilated her people; they're back and we're pretty sure they're looking for her. They have to be; she was the strongest and she has the crystal they so desperately need. Now come with if you want to find her." Whis explained as he followed Beerus.
Trunks didn't wait for anyone to say anything; he took off without saying a word.
"Let's get going! Someone needs our help!" Vegeta yelled as he took off followed by Goku, Gohan, Goten, Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha and Tien; even Master Roshi followed along…
