Trunks sat at his desk in his room going over what his father had said moments ago. But as hard as he tried nothing could convince him that Kei was who his father said she was. Vegeta had no reason to lie, nor would he, but Trunks still couldn't fathom that the girl he was starting to fall in love with was a danger to the Earth. Kei was a very sweet person behind that tough mask she puts on; she could never hurt someone intentionally.

Flashback

Vegeta waited as everyone one of the Z Fighters arrived, excluding Goten who was still studying with the tutor his mom got him. Everyone was anxious but seemed to know what happened, all except Trunks. Trunks ran up to his father and immediately noticed his hand.

"What happened?" Trunks asked, he was furious that the unknown power showed up, but even more so at his father for challenging it. Vegeta scoffed at Trunks and looked at his singed hand.

"I challenged her and got a glimpse of her power. She was able to do a minor blast that did this." Vegeta said through clinched teeth as he showed his hand to everyone. "She definitely has the power to be a threat."

"Wait! It's a she!" Trunks exclaimed; he couldn't believe it. There was only one woman he knew of that had power like them, but she wasn't nearly as strong as them. Videl, Gohans wife, was a great fighter and with Gohans help she was able to use her ki. But Videl couldn't be the person they were talking about, not only would she never think such a thing, she was also very pregnant with Gohans first child. The rest of the Z Fighters looked at Trunks almost sorrowfully, and then Gohan stepped up to give Trunks the news.

"Trunks, we didn't tell you earlier but the person with that power we sensed is Kei. She is the one who fought your father moments ago and showed him how much power she could possess." Gohan said, Trunks shook his head and clinched his fists.

"No your wrong, Kei wouldn't attack the Earth. She is not a threat!" Trunks shouted, images of Kei flashed through his head and her smiling face was in each. She can't be that kind of person, not after what I saw her do for that little boy. Trunks looked at everyone but no one seemed to be convinced.

"I didn't say she was a threat! But she can be dangerous. You would've known about her power if you weren't blinded by her looks and charms." Vegeta scolded.

"What are you going to do to her?" Trunks asked harshly.

"We don't need to watch her anymore but, we will need to keep tabs on her if she shows her powers again." Gohan said; that's when Trunks' temper sky-rocketed.

"You've been following her!" Trunks shouted, he looked at everyone for some sign that it was not true. But once his eyes landed on Goku, he knew they had, Goku nodded once and came up to Trunks. Goku put his hand on Trunks' shoulder and gave him a mournful smile.

"We followed her to be positive that she was the one we felt that day. Trunks, Kei does seem like a good person, but even the good ones can be lying." Goku said, Trunks moved away from them and glared daggers at everyone.

"You're all wrong, Kei is not going to go against what is right! I'll prove it to you; she is not a bad person!" Trunks shouted and immediately flew back to Capsule Corp. The rest of the Z Fighters watched as Trunks took off and some silently prayed that Trunks was right.

End of Flashback

Trunks looked resolutely at his window which faced the city. He then turned his attention to his sociology book, his only physical connection to Kei. I am going to prove to them that she is no danger to anyone! Powers or not, she is the woman I love and I will not let them condemn her before they truly now her! With his declaration he set about getting things ready for the next time he would see Kei, he needed to gain her trust more than ever now and he was set on getting it.

Back in the city Kei entered her apartment through her bedroom window and locked it after her. With a sigh she threw down her school bag and abruptly sat on the floor. That was so stupid of me! I shouldn't have fought him, sparring or not. By now he has probably told Trunks and I will now have to deal with him at school. I know he and Goten has powers, but I am sure they didn't know that I knew. I'm in so much trouble! Kei pondered her options for a while; she needed a way out in case things got bad. But she didn't want to leave her home here and quitting school wasn't an option. Maybe I should transfer to another school and change my name? She mentally shook her head, no matter what solution she came up with she knew they could find her and for some strange reason leaving Trunks was not a comfortable feeling. Kei pulled her knees up to her chest and laid her forehead on her knees, with a sigh she decided to be absent at school the following day to weigh more of her options. As her exhaustion crept into her mind sleep overtook her. Her last coherent thought was that no matter what she would protect herself at all costs.

She awoke in her bed after a peaceful nights sleep and when she opened her eyes to meet the day; the shadows loomed over her and grabbed her. They had large, strong hands that were impossible to break. Kei fought and struggled to gain her freedom and then everything went black. This time instead of the un-intelligible screams, she heard herself screaming 'I wont!' over and over again.

Kei woke up with a jolt, hitting her head against the wall she sleep against. She rubbed the sore spot and groaned, the dreamswere becoming more and more disturbing. With a glance at the clock, she saw there was another hour till sun rise and she decided to chance more sleep. Kei crawled into bed and closed her eyes, but sleep never came. She stayed awake, listened to her alarm clock go off, and then annoyingly turned it off. As she cleaned herself up and went to her closet picked out a pleated, flannel, short skirt and a white spaghetti strap shirt. The shirt clung to her curves, accented her breasts and the skirt showed almost all of her well toned legs. Kei didn't grab her bag; she went up to the roof and leaned against the railing that prevented people from falling off the roof. She watched people as they went about their day as she decided to not go to school today. Perhaps her being absent will help things cool down before she has to face Trunks and Goten.

Trunks was disappointed that Kei wasn't in school but he was sure it was for a good reason. He waited for the day to end so he could go to her house and see how she was doing. I'm not letting her slip away so easily, not ever. Trunks went about the day, even collecting Kei's homework from her teachers, with help from Lee. Finally the day was over and he could go to Kei's house with an excuse.
