... And Broken Bonds
Mana shivered as Gashi's hands as they rubbed across her back. `I give up...' She thought again, closing her eyes even tighter. `Trunks...' Mana shook her head, breaking their kiss. Gashi looked at her with surprise, "What's wrong me love?" He asked. "You're not still thinking about that jerk, Trunks, are you?"
Mana looked down at her feet, causing Gashi to frown. "Hey, Listen!" He said, grabbing her chin, "He's never gonna love you back. I'm the only one for you, the only one who'll take you as you look, no matter what." He said glancing at her tail and twitching from disgust.
Mana watched this and felt rage building up in her. She frowned and back up, raising a hand, "You jerk!" She whispered, bringing her hand down on his face.
Gashi backed up and placed a hand on his cheek were she had slapped him. Confused he looked up to see a very red and very angry Mana. "Honey?"
Mana's parents stood, sensing something was to happen. "Mana! How dare you? He's the only one who'll dare to love you! Don't give that up for anything!" Runi exclaimed, watching as her daughter dropped her hand and made it into a fist by her side. "Mana?"
Mana stared at her 'husband' with hatred, completely ignoring her `mother's' words. "Trunks may not love me anymore," She whispered, lowering her head. "And I may be yours now,"
Gashi watched as a tear fell from her face and land on the smooth, blue floor.
"But..." Mana raised her head and screamed, Her aura grew and soon, it turned a radiant yellow, Her hair shot out and grew until it reached her feet. Her hair flickered from Black to yellow for a little until it settled a bright yellow, her eyes turning a deep purple.
Gashi, Tokimo and Runi stared at Mana in amazement as she transformed. "What!?" They all shouted at once.
"Never insult my race!" She growled, her energy flaring.
Gashi took a step back and shook his head in amazement. "Mana, Mana Mana." He managed to say calmly. It took a lot for him to walk up to Mana but he did it. "You're such a fool."
Runi and Tokimo nodded in agreement and they all took a step back, their aura's glowing as well. But instead of turning into super sayjins, they began turning into beasts.
Tokimo let out a roar as fur replace his skin and his normal teeth were forgotten and fangs were grown. He stood on his new haunches to roar again.
Runi growled and stared at her daughter menacingly.
It was Mana's turn to be surprised as she watched her father turn into a bear and her mother into a wolf. She was even more surprised to see what Gashi had turned into though. Unlike her mother and father, Gashi hadn't turned into an animal. Instead he turned into a...Super sayjin. His aura was far greater then hers and his smirk far better then hers. His brown hair was tossed up in regular sayjin fashion as he stood there, arms crossed.
"N-Nani? But ho-"
Gashi shook his heads again in a flash, he Mana in yet another forced kiss. This time however, he was not the one who ended it.
Gashi let out a large grown as he was punched across the room.
Mana watched his hit the wall and slid down then turned to see the attacker. "Trunks?" She whispered, her heart skipping a beat as she watched him turn his head to see her. His hair was also up and blonde, his eyes a cold blue. His clothes were now torn though as if he had been in a fight and she couldn't help but notice the dried blood coming from his nose and mouth.
As he watched her look him over, Trunks smiled and lowered his fist, "That jerk he said, looking back at the fallen Gashi, "How dare he lay a hand on my mate?"
Mana smiled and run up to Trunks, embracing him in a tight hug. "Trunks..." Their aura's played with each other as they united for a minute. "Thank you..." She whispered in his ear as she withdrew from the hug.
"No prob-" Trunks was cut off as he felt a claw scrap his floating leg and a mouth of teeth jerk his other. Trunks groaned at the sudden and unanticipated pain and turned around to find a very angry bear and wolf. "Nani? How'd they?"
Mana shook her head, "I don't know, they just, trans- ahhh!" Mana screamed as the was grabbed from behind.
Trunks turned to see Gashi holding Mana close, his head next to her ear.
"He can't save you now Mana! And whether you like it or not, your mine!" He whispered harshly while biting on her ear gently.
Mana growled and punched Gashi in the stomach with her elbow. "Rule number 1!" She shouted, turning to face her opponent, "I'm not yours!" She yelled, racing toward the bent Gashi. She then out stretched a hand and shot a powerful ki blast at him, knocking him into the wall, literally. "Rule number two, I'll never be yours!" She said, walking up to the near-unconscious Gashi. "And rule number three," She sneered, a ki blast forming in her left and right hands, she then kneeled down and placed each hand on a side of his head and spit in his face, "I'll always love Trunks." She claimed, releasing her ki balls.
Gashi screamed in agony as he felt the ki ripping at his head, tearing away the very fabric on his being. "Noooooo!" He howled.
Mana watched him cry out and smirked before falling down on all fours, groaning.
"Mana!" Trunks shouted, making a move towards her. He didn't get two far though as the bear wolf stopped him by biting into him again. Trunks winced in pain and lowered himself to the ground. In a swift move, Trunks stooped down and used a roundhouse kick to throw the wolf to the opposite wall where the beat then deformed. A handy punch quickly knocked out the bear and in no time, Trunks was racing to Mana's helpless body. "Mana?"
Runi watched as Trunks ran towards Mana and managed a weak, "No!" She then stood and began limping towards a torch. Her servants had all fled by now, making her curse as she pulled down on it, revealing a secret panel. "I-I won't let them live!" She claimed, pressing a red button. Soon, white and red lights began flashing throughout the ship and a panicked voice rang out, "Self destruction activated, in 10...9"
Trunks cursed at the sudden alarm and scooped Mana up in his arms. With a final cry, Mana black out. Trunks stared at her unconscious body for a while before shaking his head and running towards the nearest door. All the while, a voice still ticked off the time, "6...5..." Trunks raced through the crowded corridor, desperate to find a way out. "3...2..." Trunks looked around one last time before, "Dammit!" He shouted.

Goku watched the ship fear building up in his heart as he watched the ship in front of them blow up. Scraps of metal and clouds of smoke surrounded the four as they strained their abilities to sense Trunks and Mana's ki. No such luck.
Vegeta stared strait ahead, a frown on his face, why couldn't he feel his son's ki?
Gohan began to shake wildly and Goten attempted to calm him down, "Bro.." He muttered, placing a hand on his big brothers shoulder.
"It's not fair." Gohan muttered, his hands balling up into fists at his sides. "If I had known..." He said, lowering his head, "I-I would've told Trunks that I- I..."
Goten looked at his brother with worry, "What?"
"I was ok with him and Mana..."
"You sure about that?"
Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Gotens, eyes all shot up at the dust in front of them. Trunks soon appeared, an unconscious Mana in his arms. "Trunks!" They all shouted.
Trunks smiled and flew up closer to them.
Gohan smiled and nodded, "Hai."
"Whoa! What happened to Mana?" Goten asked, flying up and poking his sister cheek gently. "Huh?" Gotens' brown eyes noticed a scar running across Mana's neck and moved her hair to see it more clearly.
"The Mark..." Trunks muttered, staring at it.
"Mark?" Goten turned around to face his father, "Dad, what's a mark?"
Goku shrugged and turned to Vegeta, "Do you know?" Goten and Gohan also turned to face Vegeta, making the proud sayjin prince blush.
"What? Don't tell me you don't know Kakarot!" He shouted, "How the heck did you mate with that women of yours?"
"...Mate? Me and Chi-Chi got married..."
"Married?" Vegeta shook his head in disbelief, "Kakarot, do you mean to tell me you've been with that women all these years and have never marked her?"
Goku shook his head and looked at Vegeta expectantly.
Vegeta watched this and sighed in defeat. "Very well Kakarot, I will tell you, but we must," Vegeta shoot a look at the boys, "Be alone."
Goku nodded and turned to Trunks and his sons, "Listen, we'll be right back, K?"
Goten nodded while Gohan turned back to Trunks, "Do you know?"
"Of course!" Trunks nodded, blushing, "My father told me a while back..." Trunks glanced over to where his father and Goku stood. Even from where he flew, he could hear cries of, "No Way!" and could clearly see Goku and his fathers blushing faces. He inwardly sighed and shook his head.
"Whoa!" Goten exclaimed, staring at the Mark on Mana's neck, "What's happening?"
Trunks and Gohan snapped their heads to look down at Mana's neck. The scar that lay on her neck had begun to glow and flicker. "It's disappearing..." Trunks whispered.
"What does that mean?" Gohan asked.
"It means that her previous mate is dead." Vegeta claimed, appearing beside the amazed teens and adult.
"Wow!"

It was cold. Mana pulled her blanket around her cold body and shivered. Why was it so cold? Slowly, one of her dark brown eyes opened and scoped her surroundings. What was she doing here? Mana opened her other eye and let out a cry of surprise and she sat up, sweat pouring down her face. Her black hair matted to her face.
Her sudden movements aroused a young man that was sleeping on a chair next her bed. He jumped up in surprise and turned to Mana, a half sleepy half exited look on his face, "What?"
"Trunks?" She whispered, looking at him in surprise, "What're you..."
Trunks smiled and sat down next to her on her bed.
`Whoa!' Mana thought looking him in the eyes. This reminds me of the first day I came here...' She thought, looking around, `'Cept last time I wasn't in my own room...' "You ok?" Trunks's voice pierced through her thoughts, "Y-yeah..." Mana blushed and turned her attention to her fiddling hands. She and Trunks sat in silence before everything in Mana's head clicked and her memory came back... The ship... Her foster parents...Gashi... Mana shivered at the thought of the last one and looked up into Trunks's loving eyes. "What happened?"
Trunks shook his head and smiled warmly, "It's all over." He muttered.
Mana smiled, "Really? You mean, Gashi, my `parents', It's all...over?" She whispered hopefully.
Trunks nodded and slid a hand around her waist, pulling her closer. "Yeah, it's all over," He said, pushing her hair off of her shoulders so he could see her neck, "Even your mark is gone."
Mana frowned and placed a hand on her neck where the mark used to be. As her eyes met his, he could see pain seeping out, "I'm sorry..." She whispered, rubbing her neck, "I... I really didn't love him you know...It was the bond I-"
Trunks shook his head and grabbed her chin, "no excuses," He muttered, brushing his lips against hers. She soon gave in to the kiss and wrapped her arms around him as his other arm finally found it's way around her waist. After a few moments, Mana broke the kiss and looked into his eyes again, breathing heavily, "But I-I-I kissed him... and... enjoyed it..."
Trunks shook his head again, "I don't care. No matter what you do," He said, smiling, "I'll always love you." He claimed, nuzzling her neck with his head. His eye landed on her neck and he moved his head to begin licking it, Making Mana shiver. Once her neck was tender enough, he kissed it and bared his fangs, "Suki da, Mana, Suki Da..." HE whispered, biting into her neck carefully.
