Chapter 6:

Trunk and Goten exchanged looks. Marron just smiled.

"Who are you?" asked Trunks again. Marron smirked.

"My name is Marron!" answered the blonde. Goten frowned.

"Are you really going to tell people he's...um...well...gay..."

"I'm NOT gay, GOTEN!" yelled Trunks. Marron laughed at Trunks' sudden burst of anger. Trunks glared at her and Goten just smiled.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Trunks. Marron tried to get serious, but she couldn't help laughing.

"The thing is...I must find a guy to marry in 8 days, if I don't then..." Marron became dangerously serious, "I'll go back. I don't wanna go back!"

"What do you mean you'll have to go back?" asked Goten. Marron looked around.

"It's not safe to talk here. I know somewhere we can go and I'll explain EVERYTHING there." said Marron.

(Nisono Valley)

(Read carefully so you don't get lost I'm going to change the writing format.)

3 years ago, I had been in love with this a guy, named, Nibanito Shinto. We were deeply in love with each other; nothing could tear us apart. Nothing! Or so I thought.

***FLASHBACK***

We had finally decided to get married. But, the day before our marriage, he grew sick. Deathly sick. There was nothing the doctors could do for him. All he could do is pray...that he didn't suffer too much. I couldn't bare the thought of losing him. So, I ran to Muju Hills. I dropped to my knees and cried. There was nothing I could do...

Marron put her hands in her face and cried.

`Why? Why are you leaving me? Why are you dying lie this?' she cried in her head. Marron felt a cold hand touch her shoulder. She slowly looked up from her hands to see and black haired, tan man standing in front of her. His eyes were icy blue and his face was emotionless. He looked her in the eyes as he helped her to her feet.

"Who are you?" asked Marron weakly.

He said he was here to help me. He told me that he knew a way to keep Shinto alive...

Marron looked at the ground.

`Should I believe him? I want to help Shinto, but even the doctors said he couldn't be saved. But I want Shinto to live. I guess I have no choose, but to trust him.'

"You made the right decision." He said. Marron looked at him.

"How did you..."

He told me there was no time to explain. He told me to follow him, so I did. I was so eager to help Shinto, that I didn't notice I was putting myself in danger. He took me to Nisono Valley, the valley of the tears. Then he explained...

"You want you fiancé to live don't you?" he asked.

"Yes." Marron said softly. He smirked.

"Good. Let me introduce myself. I'm Masuto Tai. In order for me to save your fiancé you must do something BIG for me." He explained.

"What is it? I'll do ANYTHING!" said Marron.

"Anything?"

"Anything!" she cried.

"That's just what I wanted to here!" said Tai softly. Marron looked at him slowly.

"Marron, in order..."
"How did you know my name?"

"That's not important. As I was saying, in order for me to keep your boyfriend alive. I'll need your ki...and your soul!" said Tai.

"WHAT?!" cried Marron. Tai smiled.

"You said you'd do anything to keep him alive. The only way to keep him alive is by using ALL of my powers and yours. Your love and soul will help keep him alive. He'll be alive as long as you are." said Tai.

"But, won't that mean you'll own me?" asked Marron.

"No and yes. As long as you're alive you are your own person. But once you die...your mine!" said Tai.

"But..."

"Don't you care about Shinto? He's slow and painfully dying. Help him, Marron. All you have to do is give me your ki and soul." Said Tai. Marron looked at the ground.

"I love him. Take everything you'll need..."

"THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HERE!" yelled Tai. He laughed and pulled out a long knife. Marron looked at the knife in horror.

"I..."

"Don't worry, Marron. I won't kill you, but it might hurt a bit." laughed Tai. The valley ground began to shake and spill. A tall black wall rose from the ground. Marron turned and looked at it. Blood stained it in many different places. The clouds rolled across the night sky. Thunder burst from them and lighting glowed on them. Rain began pouring form the clouds onto Tai and Marron.

"So, Marron. What's it gon'na be? Are you still up for it?" asked Tai. Marron turned to face him. She nodded slowly.

"Good!" he said an evil smirk crossed his lips. A strong wind knocked Marron against the wall. She screamed in pain as the long bladed knife cut into her heart. Marron scream filled the night. The demi-andriod's ki grew extremely high. It rose and rose and rose. Tears ran from Marron eyes and she screamed into the night. The knife's blade remained in her heart. Tai closed his eyes and chanted something softly. He grabbed the knife and chanted some more.

"Your soul is MINE!!!" he yelled. Marron ki rushed from her body into the knife. She felt extremely weak and stopped screaming. Her voice slowly disappeared. He eyes flashed white and her hair did the same.

"YOUR SOUL IS MINE!" yelled Tai again. All of the feeling in Marron body quickly disappeared. All of her senses slowly followed, until there was nothing left. Marron felt lifeless as Tai pulled the knife out of her. She fell to the ground. The grass under her turned a crimson color as her blood rushed over it. Marron felt the soft grass underneath her lifeless body. She could smell the green weeds all around her. She could see the grass and Tai's shoes as her eyesight returned. She could hear the thunder rolling across the black sky. She could sense her fiancé's ki returning rapidly. She could taste the cold, wet grass that had made their way into her mouth, when she fell. Marron rose to her feet and spat the grass out.

"What happened?" she asked as she clutched the hole in her chest. Tai smirked.

"He's ok." Said Tai. Marron smiled.

"Thank you, Tai." Tai walked up to her and moved her hand off of her wound. He placed his hand over it. Marron could feel it closing up, but surprisingly the pain...didn't hurt her.

"Weird." She said.

"Come on let's go check on your fiancé." Said Tai.

We flew back to Shinto's house. He was fine. Shinto and I cancelled the marriage until, later. Tai explained...almost everything...to Shinto. Once again, it was the day before we were about to get married and Shinto really wanted to talk to me. So, we stayed together the whole day. Finally, he was ready to talk...

Shinto and Marron sat down on a bench near a greenish blue lake. The lake sparkled as the sun shown on it. Marron turned to her fiancé and smiled.

"Marron," said Shinto, "we REALLY need to talk."

Marron looked around at their surroundings.

"Let's talk then." She said.

"I know that you gave your soul and all to Tai, for ME. But, I don't wannabe with you anymore. I stopped loving a while ago, but you were so excided about this marriage that I felt sorry for you and couldn't ruin your happiness. I felt sorry for you, so I stayed with you."

Marron smile faded.

"I was hoping that you'd stop loving me, but you feel deeper in love with me. I felt so sorry for you. Then I meet this girl. Her name was Marina," he heartlessly explained, "she was American and she wanted me to live with her in Paris. We had plenty of rendezvous, while you were shopping for a wedding dress."

Marron's eyes slowly filled with tears, but Shinto didn't seem to notice.

"We both decide to learn French, since we both knew Japanese and English. I was going to tell you about her, but I got ill. And then you did that nice stuff for me. So, I couldn't dare tell you. But, we decided we were going to start doing the major planning tomorrow and that just happens to be our wedding day, so I had to tell you."

Shinto noticed the tears in Marron's eyes. The tears started rolling down her checks.

"Oh, I'm sorry Marron. Do you want to still get married? I mean I'll be happy to be married with you, until Marina and I are ready to go to Paris." He said nicely. Marron shot a death glare at him and stood up.

"HOW DARE YOU TALK SO CALMLY! YOU'RE JUST MARRYING ME BECAUSE YOU FEEL SORRY FOR ME? I HATE YOU! I GAVE MY SOUL, MY KI, AND MY LIFE FOR YOU AND ALL YOU DO IS CALMLY TALK ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO PARIS WITH SOME BIMBO? GET AWAY FROM ME!" yelled Marron. Shinto just looked at her. Marron got up and ran.

"Wait Marron. What about the marriage? Are we still getting married?" he asked. He watched her until she disappeared behind a building. He sighed.

I ran as fast as I could. I could believe what just happened. The worst part was he acted like it was nothing. I gave everything up from him and he acts like it's nothing. I wanted to die...so I did.

Marron ran to a slow. And eventually stopped. She looked at where she was. It was the road. She was on the side of the road. She ran across the road. She stopped when she was on the other side. Now, if only she had seen the car, that was swaying out of control and heading straight for her, she could have kept her life.
