A Deadly Silence

Written By KrayZM and Shasta

Chapter 14: Traumatic Consequences

Kayla sat in her room at the Briefs compound , her dark eyes welled with tears but she refused to let them fall. Shastania was gone. Kazimo .. Kazimo had won … he had succeeded in what he had wished to do ever since he had landed on Gaia that faithful day. He had said he'd do this , he'd rid her of anything she dared to care for …

Anyone she dared to love

Shastania was her world and she felt so weak and alone without her by her side. She heard a soft knocking from the door but she ignored it.

"Kayla .." came a soft voice from the door, "Kayla , are you okay ?" he asked and she almost chuckled to herself. It was such a stupid question , surely even Trunks knew that.

"I just … need some time to think Trunks" she muttered and felt sickened by the fear that overwhelmed her as she said this. In her dream Kazimo had killed Goten , ripped him away from her. And he had done it to Shastania now. She had left Vegeta and Bulma downstairs, they were to decide on what to do with Shastania's body. Vegeta was a prince, he would give her burial the proper respect it deserved. She sighed deeply and put the palm of her hand to her flat stomach. This child …. child of evil … a child conceived through a crime worser than death. A crime for which she had cried inwardly on. She wasn't even sure if it was a demon growing inside her … And now she didn't have Shastania to help her get through this. She heard a shuffling at the door, surely Trunks hadn't been dense enough to wait at her door?

Frustrated she flung open the door and store in surprise at Goten, his hand raised as to knock on the door. He looked down at her face for a moment and Kayla quickly turned away.

She couldn't feel for him, not after this, she had ignored Kazimo's warning and she had lost her sister for this callous mistake

"Can I come in?" he asked simply and she didn't have the heart to say no. She stepped aside and he moved into the room silently. She sat down at her desk and faced him as he seated himself at the end of her bed.

"I'm so sorry Kayla" he said , shaking his head warily. She peered at him for a moment.

"Being sorry isn't going to bring Shastania back" she snapped shaking her head. His eyes widened at her outburst but he was silent as he stood up and walked over to Kayla. She stood up, her ever cautious self and his face was an unreadable expression. He reached over and cradled her chin in his hand, her head told her to pull away and her heart begged for her to stay. She turned her head and he simply store at her shoulder as he spoke.

"If there's anyway that I can make it better, anyway that I can somehow help you through this then please tell me, just don't shut me"

She glared at him momentarily , nudged him out of her way and stalked to the other side of the room.

"What if I don't want to let you in Goten!?! huh? What if I want to shut you out!! What if I just want you to get out of my mind and my life!!"

Of everything Goten had expected to hear , this was not on the list.

"Kayla, what did I do to make you so pissed at me?"

She shut her eyes as the tears she had held back trickled down her pale cheeks, she felt so weak and frail and this only added to it all. Kazimo had destroyed it. He had destroyed any chance she and Goten would have had together. She refused to answer and Goten's plea's grew more urgent.

"Kayla , just tell me already!?!"

She shook her head and tugged on her hair.

"Just go Goten , please just get out" she said as she gestured to the door. He glanced over at the door and then back at Kayla in shock.

"Not until you tell me what I've done"

"Goten just go dammit!!"

"Tell me what's wrong!" he stalked over to her and she pushed him away.

"What the hell have I done Kayla!?!" His voice echoed through her mind until she couldn't take it anymore.

"YOU LOVED ME GOTEN!!" she yelled at him. He stood taken back for a second and after recovering from the initial shock store at her confused-like.

"How is that so wrong to you Kayla? How is my caring for you and wanting to be there for you ….. wanting to love you ..….so bloody wrong?"

"Because he'll kill you Goten. That's why he killed Shastania. I had this dream and you were in it and he killed you there too" she shivered and murmured hysterically, " And he said that if I cared for anyone that he'd dispose of them and I can't let that happen to you! I won't let this happen to you!"

Her face became tear stained and she shook dangerously as she wept. Goten stood in shock as Kayla trembled. He reached over and attempted to hold her but she pushed his arms away.

"DON'T TOUCH ME! How can you even look at me after all that's happened?"

Swiftly Goten caught a hold of Kayla's wrists and pulled her to face him, he felt her shiver and the look in her eyes said it all … that look … the look of fear.

"I can look at you because you're beautiful , because I know how strong you are physically, mentally, spiritually, because I know how much you care for others and you're doing this to protect me. I'm not the one who needs to be protected…especially after what Kazimo has done to you"

He let go of one wrist and snaked his hand down to her belly. He felt the soft ki within and closed his eyes. Kayla reached down and put her hand atop of his. He opened his eyes and store into the pools of darkness that were hers.

"As long as Kazimo Tair lives" she began, "then we don't have any chance for a future together. And until I know what this child inside me is, I can't let you get hurt anymore Goten"

"So it ends now?" he asked, his eyes blazing with unspoken fury.

"I wish it didn't have to, you know that. But there's no other options"

Tearfully, she pecked him on the cheek and walked past him, out of the room and soon out of the compound. She left the city and took to the skies, flying nowhere in particular, just as long as there was no-one with her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kazimo Tair smiled and licked his lips. It had worked, he had won. Kayla would no longer 'love' the saiyan monkey for the feeble excuse of his protection. And now yes .. she carried the child which he had created. She was tied to him now , now until eternity. He could still taste her and shivered with glee as he remembered his capture of her. His eyes glinted maliciously.

I must see her …

He grinned and stepped away from his scorched arena….
