Chapter 2: Goten?



"Why are you doing this to me Goten," now trying to get her hands free of the rope, " haven't I always been there for you?" Goten just continued stripping her of her clothes until he finally got down to her lingerie. He paused then untied her hands and with that she slaps him hard across the face: he didn't even flinch. In return of this move he knocks her out by pushing a pressure point behind her neck, then deciding not to risk her fighting back during their mating, he puts energy cuffs on both her wrists and ankles against the bed posts.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK went the front door. " Goten, Marron, you there?" asked Trunks. ' Great, more trouble,' thought Goten, but he decided that instead of Trunks busting through the door and causing him greater trouble, he goes to the door. " Hey Trunks, aren't you supposed to be with your future wife," asked Goten trying to act cool. " Ya, I was until I felt Marron's ki go wack and I thought I might come over to see if she was okay," Trunks replied trying to see he could get a glimpse of Marron.

" Well she's just fine," replied Goten getting slightly edgy about Trunks suspicions. " Well you wouldn't mind if I could see her do you?" asked Trunks getting more anxious to see if she was okay. " Actually she asleep," he replied a little too fast," and you know how she gets if someone wakes her up." He laughed shortly. " Ya." Trunks said still trying to see if he could see Marron, " well if she wakes up tell her I came by." With this said Goten relaxed and just simply but still cautious said, "sure no problem, bye." With this he closed the door right on Trunks' face. ' Ya, bye' Trunks thought still standing in front of the door expecting Marron to come running and open it and tell him that she's fine.

"Uhhh," Marron moaned as she woke up her head throbbing, " what happe...? But stopped when everything came flooding back. She left with Goten after hearing her only true love announcing his engagement to her best friend....Pan. Tears came to her eyes as she thought of this. Then when they got to his house, Goten started to kiss her but when she pushed him away......... " I'm glad to see you're awake," said Goten as he watched her salty tears run down her face from the doorway to his room. She tried to get up but soon found out that the energy cuffs on her restrained her from being able to move.. She was so scared she couldn't say anything. " Oh I forgot," said Goten with an evil look on his," Trunks stopped by to check on you, to bad you just missed him."

Marron gasped as she heard this. " Just so you don't try to get any one else's attention, " Goten said as he put a ki controller on her neck," I thought that this would help to keep the trouble down to the minimum."

Fresh tears ran down her face. "Now don't you go anywhere, " He said to her as he ran a finger down her stomach making her gag," well like you can." And with that he left humming "All My Life," this really creeped her out. "Trunks," she said out loud ' he wouldn't leave he thought she was in trouble, " TRUNKS!!!!!!!!" She screamed his name as loud as he could. Trunks came out of his daze about Marron's ki still standing at the front door and busted it down after hearing her scream his name. Goten heard and then saw this from the kitchen as Trunks ran to his room where he knew any second would find her. " Oh well," Goten said to himself, " I'll just try again later." After that he flew to Chi Chi's house hoping know one would ask him any questions.

Back at Goten's house............

"Oh Shit," Trunks said first pausing when he saw her then rushing over to release her. " Trunks Goten's gone insane first he tries to kiss me but when I refused he slammed me against the wall and I.... She threw her arms around him when he freed her from her restraints. "Are you okay?" Trunks asked trying to remain calm though he knew it was useless, "Did he.......did he hurt you?" She shook her head on his shoulder as her response. " I-I don't know w-what would have happened I-if you hadn't of still been.....," she replied but stopping short to release fresh tears from her wet eyes. "It's going to be okay," he told her," let's get you home, do think you're ready?" She nodded. " Here," he said as he let go of her and grabbing then giving her back her clothes. She put them on in the bathroom and then ran into his arms again once done. " What will we tell what happened," she asked still embraced in his arms. " Only what you want to tell them," Trunks said to her. " Nothing," she answered," I just want to go home."

Afterwards.....



As they flew into the starry night, Marron in Trunks arms, she started to think about how things would be with her best friend Pan and her secret love Trunks together while she was alone. She brushed it off when they landed at her house. When they got walked in Trunks couldn't help but ask," Hey Mar...um.why did you leave in the first place?" She stopped abruptly in her tracks then, after a long pause whispered, " I think you should leave."

"But Mar...," he started.

"JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE OKAY!" she yelled and then pushed him out the door and slammed it in his face. " Mar please let me in," he pleaded. " Just go away...NOW," she chocked in her up coming tears. 'Fine' he rudely thought, and then with a change of heart decided to give her some time and left.

When she finally felt his presence gone, she leaned against the door, sunk to her knees and started to cry: she cried till there was nothing left.

She was so cried so much that she fell asleep leaning against the door, but that soon changed when....

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK... "Mar let me in," said a familiar but far away voice. "Who is it," she said half upset, half asleep, half awake. " It's me Bra," said Trunks sister. " Trunks came back and said that you and Goten had a fight, but from the way he told it I knew something else happened." Long pause." Marron what did happen?"

Click, she opened the door and was face-to-face with her supposed to be soul mate's sister, Bra. " Oh gees Mar hat happened," seeing the swollen, red eyes from her tears. For some reason, Marron felt a wave of Trust as Bra, after seeing her teary face, gave her a big hug. "Come in," Marron said after being long embraced in her friends arms at the doorway.

As they sat down in their newly refurnished living room, Marron started to cry again. " Mar what's the matter?" asked Bra alarmed, " are you okay?" She shook her head in response. " it's..G-Goten.." she said in between sobs, " He tried to......he tried to..." But couldn't finish because of the new sobs washing over her. " It's okay," Bra said," just take a deep breath and try again." With that she calmed herself and slowly but surely started again. " After we left the party," She started, " Goten took me to his house saying that we could watch a movie or something..." And she went through the whole story again even telling her about what happened with Trunks when they got to her house.

At first Bra just sat there. not knowing what to say but then reality came back. " Mar we have to tell your parents," she said sternly. " No, you don't understand," she cried, " they'll always think of me as their child, the one who's a slut and can't stand up for herself."

"How can you think such a thing," Bra asked but also demanded to know. " Oh come on," went Marron, " My mom could never look at me again. I'd be a disgrace to her." " That is so untrue," her friend replied, " besides nothing happened right?"

"Still," she answered, " If it wasn't for Trunks coming to help me, something could've happened."

Bra paused and re examined the story again. Then something occurred to her..

" Why DID you leave the party," she asked almost the same was as her brother.

" You wouldn't understand."

"Dammit, I'm not 5 anymore I'm 15," she barked, " I can understand a lot more than ya'll seem to think

Marron was shocked at her friends' out burst. But soon realized that she was right and then soon enough told her.

" I or I did love with Trunks," she said.

" I know that," Bra answered," I always knew you had a crush on him, but I thought he told you that he loved Pan. Marron flinched at her best friends name.

" No Bra," she said to her still on the couch," I'm IN love with Trunks."

" Oh no," Bra answered in a meek voice, "Oh Mar I'm so sorry."

" It's okay," she said firmly, " I realized as we flew back here that I would never be his and he would never be mine."

" What I don't understand is, why he didn't tell you before he announced in at the 'At First Friends Reunion then Engagement Party'," she told her, " he told me, Goten, and Ubuu two days earlier."

Marron gasped at this. "Did you say two days?"

"Ya," Bra replied, " why do you ask?"

'Is that why Goten almost hit me yesterday?' she thought silently then looked at the clock on the mantle. 'Or should I say day before yesterday' seeing that it was 1:34 a.m.

" Helllllllooooooooooooo," bra said as she waved a hand in front of Marron's face. " Are you okay?"

Marron woke up from dreamland and then told her what happened EXACTLY the same day Trunks told the three besides her of his proposal plans.

" Two days ago," she started, " I guess after Trunks told ya'll about his plans, Goten came up to me and started to act all weird. And after a long pause he told me that he loved me and wanted me to be his mate, and I at first was shocked then told him "you know I love Trunks," But then he just went crazy and started threatening me and then.....

" And then what," Bra asked begging to know.

" He hit me," she answered.

"Then why the hell did you leave with him!" Bra screamed, " He hits you then at the party you leave with him? Are you crazy!!!

" I'm not crazy," she replied angrily, " I was just so upset that Trunks was engaged to her and so I just left with Goten not really thinking about the harm it could do."
