Disclaimer: I don't own any of the DBZ characters, as much as I may wish. They belong to a big company that I don't own...yet! ^_^ Oh, yeah, Mana's my character so, stay away from her!

Evil intentions and divine interventions

Mana groaned and rubbed her head as she sat up. "Ugh, What happened?" Mana moaned, looking around. Nothing. The walls were bare except for a small window on her right. There was absolutely nothing in the room except her. "Where am I?" She whispered, standing up. After receiving no answer, Mana walked to the window and looked out. "Wow!" She whispered, gazing at the clouds just beyond her ironclad window, "We're flying?"

"Hai, Isn't it great?"

Mana spun around to face the voice. The man in front of her wore a dark black uniform and a bright white helmet. The contrast almost blinded Mana's sensitive eyes. "Who are you?"

The man laughed and walked up to her, and grabbed her chin lightly, "Your suitor of course!" He said, using his other hand to remove his helmet. Mana gasped at his passionate blue eyes and pale, blonde hair, and jerked her face away from him, "Gashi?" She asked, confused. "But... How'd you-"

"Your parents have resources." He replied, shaking his head. Again, he stepped up to her and again Mana backed up. "What's wrong?"

Mana took one last step back before her back was against the cool, concrete wall. "Why are you here?" She hissed, glaring into his eyes while her tail wrapped around her waist protectively.

Before it could do so, Gashi grabbed it gently and used it to pull her closer to him, "What? You didn't miss me?"

Mana pushed off of his chest and resumed her past position, against the wall, "No!" Mana looked down at her feet and sighed, "... That life is behind me now..." She whispered.

Gashi let out a deep chuckle, making Mana look at him, "What?" She asked, clenching her fists.

"You've changed!" He claimed joyfully, rubbing her tail with his thumb. Mana almost sighed at the feeling but restrained it. "My, My..." He looked into her eyes and smirked, "Why so quick to give up your life?"

"I'm not giving up my life!" Mana growled, tugging her tail free, "I've got a new one now," She gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes, "And you're not in it!"

Gashi's eyebrows shot up, and they stood in an awkward silence for a while before, "Really?" Gashi muttered, closing his eyes. "Mana, I'm sorry to tell you this but," Gashi opened his eyes and pinned Mana to the wall, a hand on each side of her surprised face. "You're my," Gashi smirked and moved his head closer to hers.

Mana could smell his peppermint breath and cringed.

"Mate." He finished, pressing his lips against hers. Mana's head hit the wall as she attempted to deflect the kiss. Her hand was caught by his and he pressed down harder, making her almost gag as he managed to stick his tongue in her mouth. Mana began struggling even harder but Gashi used his second hand to pin down her shoulder. A couple of minutes later, Gashi broke the kiss, leaving Mana panting and him breathing heavily, "Here, or anywhere else." He said huskily, looking into her disgusted eyes. He smile showed off his fangs and his eyes gleamed as he moved towards her again. Mana began struggling again as his face reached her neck. He began licking her neck until it was softer then before, making Mana shiver.

"W-What are you going to do?" She breathed, trying to look at his through the corner of her eye.

"What I should've done a long time ago." He replied, kissing her neck before sinking his teeth into her succulent flesh.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Trunks winced, as Videl, Chi-Chi and Bulma continued to yell at him. He'd told them what had happened and needless to say, they weren't pleased. Goku, Goten and even Vegeta had to struggle to keep Gohan away from him. "She's my sister, Damn you!" He repeated over and over.

"I can't believe you Trunks! I-"

"Woman!" Vegeta shouted, stopping her and the other two females from speaking, "The boy is sorry. Do you honestly think he'd want something to happen to his mate?"

This comment made the mothers shout even louder and for Gohan to start trying to kill him. Goku gave Vegeta a quizitive look, "Mate?"

Vegeta smirked and backed away from Gohan, arms crossed, "Yeah, Mate, like your and my violent one over there." He said, signaling towards the enraged girls.

"Whoa man!" Goten cried, turning to Trunks, "You like my sister?"

Trunks blushed and everyone in the room face-faulted.

When everyone recovered, Goten had calmed down some and was now sitting cross-legged on the floor, arms crossed and a serious look on his face. "We'll never find Mana if we keep yelling at trunks." He sighed and looked around the room at his family and friends, "We've gotta look for her."

Mana frowned as the servant prepared her hair. She was now wearing a short, skimpy dress that left little for the imagination. A deep scar lay on her neck, making her stifle her tears. In a few hours she was to visit her `parents' for dinner then go off with her new mate to live at his house and have, Mana shivered, kids. `I can't believe Gashi is here.' Mana thought sighing. `I thought I had left him forever when Goku and the others picked me up...

*Flashback*

"Fine! But you'll be back Mana! We were destined to be together!" Gashi shouted at Mana's retreating back. Mana had just broken up with him. And for good reasons too. He treated her like trash and wanted nothing more of her but kisses and hugs. She hated him and couldn't imagine what had kept her with him for so long...

*End of flashback*

`Now I know though.' Mana sighed,

*ANOTHER flashback! ^_^*

Mana's mother enters the room, with Mana on the bed crying.

"What's wrong dear?"

"I-I hate Gashi!" She shouted, banging her fist into her bed.

Her mother shook her head and sat next to her. "No you don't!" She whispered, running a hand though her daughters hair, "It's just a lovers spat, you were made to be with him!"

*End of Flashback*

"Bitch." Mana muttered, staring at herself in the mirror. `She only said that to keep me with him.'

"Done madam!" The servant chirped, stepping back to admire her work. Mana's hair was swept up in a bun; the bottom flowed with some spare hair that had been curled. A strand of hair hung on the left side of her face, making her frown. She didn't like looking so nice...

"Come Madam!" another servant called, grabbing her arm and pulling her with him. "We must go, the dinner is about to begin!"

Mana felt her tail tighten around her waist as she was lead down the long corridor to a room with double doors. As Mana stared at the elegant engravings on the door, her heart sank as her situation clicked into place in her mind. Her parents were going to take her back to their world and make her wed Gashi, the man who she despised so mush but loved so much because of the bond. Mana's heart was spit into two as the doors were opened for her. Soon she'd be living her old life again, with her old boyfriend as her husband. She would never get to see Trunks again or her family...

Mana stumbled a bit as the guards behind her pushed her in and closed the door tight. In front of her sat her enemies. The people she once loved. Mana frowned as she felt a tear fall down her delicate face and Vegeta's words came to mind. `Rule two, no crying.' An idea came to mind, making her smile. The rules...

"Her ki's coming from that ship!" Trunks claimed, pointing to the object in question. "I know it."

Gohan, Goten, Goku and Vegeta nodded and suppressed their ki as they flew up to retrieve what was theirs.

"So, you've met your family I presume?" Mana's mother, Rani asked, looking at her tail in distaste.

"Yes."

Her father, Tokino shook his head and frowned, "It looks tacky, like a warrior almost."

"Yes, most unfitting for a wife." Her mother said taking a drink of her wine.

Mana growled and looked at the food.

"You're lucky that Gashi would even consider choosing you now that you're so... ugly and unworthy." Tokino continued, ignoring his former daughters growl.

Gashi smiled and placed a hand on Mana's; "I will always love her, no matter how she looks!" He claimed, glancing at her tail. "No matter what and I'm sure she feels the same!"

Mana gritted her teeth. `Just a little longer!' She thought, `just a little longer and-`

Boom! Crash! Ahhh! Screams and crashes knocked Mana out of her thoughts and onto her feet. "What's happening?" Gashi demanded, staring at the door, as if awaiting something.

Rani frowned and called a startled servant over, "Go see what's wrong." She demanded.

"Yes madam!"

The servant was half way to the door when a shuttering blast blew them away, leaving a room full of dust and 4 very surprised people. Mana coughed, and struggled to make out who caused such a mighty blast. The dust soon settled making Mana gasp, standing in the doorway was no one other then ...
