Chapter 9




Makoto flushed the toilet rising from her knees back onto her feet. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw her tired green eyes staring at herself. She turned out the bathroom light and headed back towards her bed, crawling into the king sized bed by Minako and Rei she closed her eyes, holding her abdomen, her stomach was slightly bigger like inflated but not too noticeable yet. She imagined the little miracle she would produce within a matter of months. What would her friends think when they found out? What would Trunks say? What would Vegeta think? Was it a little boy or girl? What would she name it? Thoughts hit her suddenly, she
forced them away and fought to let the dark luring veil of sleep overtake her...

Rei eyed Makoto strangely.

"Mako? Are you okay?" asked Rei watching Makoto eat while sitting akwardly on their picnic sheet.

"Ya. Fine. Why wouldn't I be??" asked Makoto her voice almost a squeal.

Rei's eyebrow rose, and she muttered, "Alright." Rei opened her mouth to say something but then shut it hearing footsteps. Trunks walked past her and kissed Makoto on the forehead before sitting next to her. She smiled shyly. Trunks whispered a soft something in Mako's ear and then she gave a huge grin and cuddled up to him. Rei ignored them pretending to look at the scenery around them. She had that strange feeling of being watched come over her and her eyes fell to Makoto but Mako's were closed along with Trunks. She turned to see Goten approaching slowly Minako and Gohan in tow. A grin came across her face as she stood and jogged to Goten's open arms. As they hugged she noticed for the first time Minako and Gohan kissing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Where is he?!" he demanded letting his eyes fall onto his trembling servant. "Pitiful creature!" he scowled.

"S..S..Sir, he is at a forest with Her." replied the man as he shivered and looked upon his Lord.

"Take me to them, I will kill him if it is the last thing I do on this stupid planet!" he declared rising from his throne and stepping down the few stairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Minako I must speak with you." whispered Makoto. Minako sighed dropping Gohan's warm hand and walking off into the trees with Makoto.

"Goten. Gohan, Vegeta needs you." called Bulma from down a grassy hill.

"Coming!" yelled Goten as he sighed gave Rei a soft kiss before departing with Gohan trailing slowly after. Rei's eyes followed Goten down the hill, then as he disappeared from sight her eyes fell on the last person there. Trunks.

"Well.." started Rei uncomfortable.

"So.." muttered Trunks letting his eyes meet hers.

"I..umm..."

"Yea?"

Rei sighed frusterated. This was getting them no where! She looked away slowly letting her eyes fall on the path in the trees that Makoto had disappeared down with Minako. What was wrong with her anyways? She was acting so wierd. She didn't have cancer or some awful disease did she?! A sound of heavy footsteps grabbed her attention before her was a man, a handsome man with an evil grin on his face. He had short brown curls, a scar down his cheek, and dark luring blue eyes. His body was muscled, and he wore a black suit, tight bodied. Trunks stood abruptly. "C-can I h-help you??" he studdered. The man looked at Rei with a smirk. She glared. How dare him look at her like that?! Stupid Pig! He stepped towards Trunks. TRUNKS! Mako would kill her if she didn't help him, what had Trunks done to this man? He seemed very very mad. A power ball began to form on his hands, and he aimed it at Trunks extending his hands toward him, Trunks looked shocked.

The ball shot towards him and he dogded yelling, 'Dude What's Your Problem!' Rei decided if anytime now was the time to jump in and help him. She hated Trunks but she knew her best friend was in love with him, and that was reason enough to help him.

She leaped into action starting with yelling 'Mars Crystal Power,MakeUp!' She transformed and rushed forward her eyes locking with this strange man's. His smirk widened seeing her.

"I could use you on my team, you know." he mumbled under his breath before charging Trunks.

"Never." she whispered lunging toward the man. A fight began. Trunks fighting the man, and slowly being weakened, Rei taking cheap hits on the man as he tried to fight her off, and continued his attack on Trunks.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!" yelled Rei as she began to think of an attack to torture this particular man with. Trunks looked at her like she was mad. His eyes pleading her to hurry.

She closed her eyes and yelled, "Mars Flame Sniper!" The man's eyes widened.

"Another demon girl!" he yelped as an arrow of fire came for him hitting him square in the chest. He charged her. She cringed. Trunks charged for him yelling 'Rei GO!' She ignored him. Preparing her fire bird attack took alot of energy. She had to do a simple one and weaken him before weakening herself. She felt the impact of someone hitting her. A voice far off screamed her name. Followed by various voices. Mako? Minako? Was that Goten? Gohan? Vegeta? Goku? Who in the world was calling her?! Then she felt it the sharp piercing pain in her abdomen, the pain so unbearable she'd never felt such a horrible pain before. She shrieked a blood-curdling scream grabbing her stomach. Pain so much pain. Her tear filled eyes opened to take in the scene before her at the side of the fight was Makoto fighting to get to them and Minako holding her tightly yelling 'Mako! No the baby!' Her eyes moved onto another area. Bulma and Chi-Chi were as pale as a sheet. Vegeta held onto Bulma his knuckles white from gripping her so hard, Goku her "daddy" was mumbling to Chi-Chi as he tried to reach them but Chi-Chi saying something about 'believing in Rei' hit him over the
head with her frying pan telling him to leave well enough alone. Gohan restrained Goten. Goten her precious Goten. Chi-Chi hearing Rei's scream watching her hold her stomach shoved Goku toward the fight demanding
"Why didn't you go into the fight sooner, you idiot! She could have been hurt badly or may be!" Goku seemed dazed rubbing his head, then she saw a shadow coming over her a hand flying toward her.

She yelled with all that was in her, "FIRE SOUL BIRD!!" as the bird of fire appeared she fell as she hit the
ground the pain in her stomach, the weakness overtook her body, her soul.

"NO!" yelled Goten punching Gohan hard and running for her. The man fell backwards stunned by her attack.
Trunks began yelling weakly, "KAMAYA!" Goten towered over her body seeing her writhing in complete pain. He reached for her aslmost afraid to touch her afraid of hurting her more than she already was. He grabbed her slowly, gently. Goku met him his arms outstreched where Goten reluctantly handed his baby to his father and turned to help his best friend. His dad disappeared into the house with Bulma behind him. Mako felt torn in two. Her best friend needed her and so did the love of her life.

"Trunks I'm sorry, she needs me." she whispered walking towards the house, then began to jog.

"Set her here." instructed Bulma as Goku gently lay Rei into a soft bed. She groaned in pain grabbing her stomach a tear sliding down her cheek. Bulma watched her with sympathy.

"Bulma what is wrong with me please tell me, I hurt so bad." mumbled Rei grabbing her forehead as she winced. "My-my stomach." she whispered. Mako watched from the doorway a tear cascaded down her face.

"Rei, darling, calm down, I will give you some meds for the pain, I believe the news I will tell you should have Goten present." said Bulma smiling softly and hugging Rei as she searched through a medical bag. Rei moaned, filling the silent room with her groans and moans. Goku held her hand. Rei opened her watery eyes and peered at him as a sting took over her, and a shot was pulled from her.

"Funny, it's called a pain killer but it brings only more pain." whispered Rei drifting off into sleep.The boys came into the room slowly with Chi-Chi and Minako, who was in her sailor fuku.

"How are you Trunks?" whispered Mako.

"I'm okay sweety, is Rei okay?" he asked softly hugging Mako to him.

"I don't know. Bulma still in there with her." replied Mako snuggling her head into his chest and holding him tightly. Bulma stepped from the room her face weary. Goku looked like he wasn't there as he stepped toward Chi-Chi.

"Everyone, Bulma has something to tell you." mumbled Goku. All eyes fell on Bulma. Goten's eyes pleaded for a report on Rei.

"Goten, dear, Chi-Chi, Rei is going to be very depressed when she wakes up. She won't be okay for awhile, not only is she bruised, she had a miscarraige from a punch in the stomach. Chi-Chi I'm very sorry, that would have been your grandchild, and Goten, I'm can't express how sorry I am. Everyone, Rei will need your help to recover and she may not like it at all. Prepare for the worst." said Bulma as tears sprouted.

"No I need to see her!" yelled Goten running for the room. Vegeta grabbed his hand.

"You can't let her think it out first. She's probably just figuring out what happened. She needs time to get out the crying."
