Chapter 6
Miura lay on her bed sobbing. The afternoon had been very hard on her. Every acquaintance she'd run into had been cruel to her because she was orphaned. What was it about fate that led some to paths that were filled with hardships while others lived on Easy Street? Her door opened then softly closed. "Mira, what's wrong?" Trunks gently inquired.
She sat up, avoiding his gaze. "Would you understand? Not having any parents is very hard to live with." the girl whimpered. He looked a little confused. The young warrior had spent times in his life without his father nearby, in fact his father had been dead, but his mother had always been there for him. So had Gohan. In fact, he'd never been as alone as Miura felt right now. There was something about that sorrow that he would not yet know.
No, I'd never understand how she feels. But I will be here for her. Trunks sat down next to her then gently drew her into a hug. Tears continued to flow from her eyes as she fell asleep in his arms. Then he'd laid her down on her bed and covered her up. I can't believe how insensitive some people could be. If Miura couldn't control her abilities then they'd be dead. She is so much more than what appearances can tell. He glanced back at her from the door. Now her appearence was one of peace, yet under that peace the courage of tigers and saiya-jins raged against the injustice of the world.

The sounds of someone chopping wood reached Naru's ears. A slight smirk crept over her features. This was the double of her Juunana. Now, if I can only catch him. If they become one, then this will be over swiftly. But... that boy. And the cat that stopped me. Their power is great.
A low growl caused the jinzouningen to stop. "Miura, I know that's you. Cut it out." The tiger emerged from the shadows, carrying a severely injured boy on her back. "Kamisama! Trunks, what happened?" Juunana cried in horror.
"An unknown jinzouningen. She attacked me, and if Miura hadn't shown up I may have been killed." he managed to get out. The young warrior was gently lifted off of the tiger's back, then the tiger shifted her form to that of a human girl.
Naru's eyes grew wider. That was the girl that her Juunana had seen with Vegeta and Trunks. She had unusual abilities. Apparently she's very concerned about him. Otherwise, her cat-like senses would have alerted her to my presence. Then, she sensed the approach of other warriors. The female jinzouningen turned to the sky, then drew a shocked gasp. Juuhachigou? But how? Wasn't she deactivated?

Vegeta and Goku easily caught up with Juuhachi. "Just were is Juunana's house?" the Prince demanded.
"Right here. By now, I'd say that he knows we are here." she replied. The trio landed then walked into the house. "Where are you?"
"In here." came the muffled reply. They walked into the room, then got surprised by the fact that Trunks was laying on the bed, unconscious.
"What happened to him?" Goku cried.
"An unknown jinzouningen happened to him. He told me that Miura saved him." Juunana explained.
Trunks then cried out in his sleep, startling those with him. "Easy there. You're safe here." Miura whispered. The boy's struggles ceased and he slept on peacefully. That startled his father. It was unusual that one that he'd known for such a short amount of time could calm him out of any of the terrors he knew in his dreams.
