Maiden of Destiny Chapter 6
Trunks continued to looks at three pictures in his time machine. One was of him by the time machine. Another was of his mother Bulma back in the future. The last was of Gohan training. Trunks smiled at it all. 'But Gohan died.' Trunks reminded. His thoughts went back to four nights ago when he kissed Lei-Fang. He never acted like that. He lost control and forgot what she was. She was android. He pushed it out of his mind, suddenly the feelings of hurt and regret filled his mind. The same feelings he had the day Lei-Fang got lost in the cave. He now couldn't decide how he felt about her knowing she was android. She was one of.them. The same people that killed half of the world when he was thirteen. The same people that took away his father, friends, and Gohan away. What if she was right? What if she was only programmed to act like this? Maybe she would turn evil and they wouldn't want to kill her then she would get away with murder! He felt as if he was betraying something.or someone. Like the people who died! He was supposed to protect them! How could he fall for an enemy! She would toy with him and throw him away! Besides that, she was a Gero. She was his younger sister! You could hardly tell. Besides, he must have been very old when she was born. His thoughts went back to the night his parents were gone and she was asleep on his chest. She seemed so human when she slept. Still that feeling of resentment toward her because of what she was, was returning. But he had to keep an eye on her. Gero wanted her for some reason, and Nolan must have some ties to wanting her also.
Lei-Fang just read a book quietly. Well actually, she wasn't reading the book. Inside Sakura stole a couple pages from the lab about herself and her family. How she got it Sakura said not to ask. She was scared because her brother was back and he wanted her badly. Now she had her memory. He had been abusive towards her, and she never had friends like she had now back then. However, she couldn't let Bulma and everyone know that she had her memory. Especially because she shouldn't have been in the lab. She looked at the paper. She could trust Trunks to keep her secret. Everything was there for her to know. Her family had been rich and important scientist much like Bulma and the Capsule Corp. Her mother died giving birth, and her father had been in charge of their company for a while. Her brother then took over, invented machines, and sponsored the Red Ribbon Army with its creations and money. Her father had a warranty with a lot of money for each of them. So killing her father added to Gero's fortune. How her brother changed so fast she couldn't comprehend. She remembered some nice memories like going to the carnival with them. Still how did she end up in the future where Trunks lived?
A man sits in a chair working in a lab. (Gee, who do you think this is, certainly not Bulma?) "Dr. Gero?" a voice asks. "What is it I'm busy!" Gero yells. "Naomi is free from the institution and wants to talk to you as you have requested," the man answers. Gero sighs. "Fine let her in." he orders. After a few minutes, a woman with dark blue frizzy hair enters. She has glasses and is dressed like a businesswoman. "They let me out under your care. They say you pleaded I was desperate under the interrogation and am not insane?" Naomi asks annoyed. "Those words are true. The question I have for you is, are you still so loyal as you once claimed. Your lucky they thought you were insane, they could have known everything." Gero scolds. She walks up behind the chair and puts her arms around his neck seductively. "It doesn't matter. I thought you were dead and the plan had failed. 18 and 17 obviously were failure to continue our plan. In a way, I was desperate but you're here and as long as that is then I am loyal. Besides on the way here I got you a couple presents." She said kissing him. He smiled. "Dragon balls?" he asked. "Only for you." She replied. He grinned. "By the way that android number 18 is aware of what's happening. She'll most likely being sticking close to the girl." She whispered deviously. "Does your wife, Saura, know you're alive?" she asked. "But of course. I had to reclaim my company from her. Only through marriage once again. She is quite pathetic." He said. "Yes, but she's not blind. She must let you do these things behind her back without interfering for a reason." Naomi said. "I keep her under wraps." Gero said picking up a shot filled with a yellow liquid. "Are those what I think they are?" Naomi asked smiling. "Indeed. Celestial Dragon scales. I am testing them on a human." Gero said. "Saura!" Naomi smiled. "Bit I see that my wife is weak. She is useful but her life is fading away quickly. I also need another test subject. Not a human.or animal." Gero explained. Naomi smiled. "I see.consider it done." Naomi whispered smirking.
Lei-Fang sat in the car looking out the window beside Trunks. Bulma was driving while Vegeta sat in the passenger seat with his arms crossed. "Why must I come along for such an insignificant event in my life?" Vegeta complained. "We need to get some nice looking cloths for the party Vegeta!" Bulma yelled. "It is not a party it is a ball, where you have tea and Waltz! It is prissy! I am not a ballerina or a doll. I hate tea!" Vegeta snorted. Bulma made an annoyed sound. Trunks blushed as his parents kept arguing. He looked over at Lei-Fang. She looked so peaceful as if she was oblivious to his parent fighting. She just stared out as if in deep thought. He again started debating about what she was and how he felt about her in his mind.
Trunks walked around blindly. He didn't care his parents were arguing again. Everything was boring. "Can I help you?" a voice said from behind. A pretty young lady, well she looked young with dark blue frizzy hair, asked smiling (gee this ones hard). She was dressed in an employee uniform. He smiled. "Ah no thank you I'm not looking for anything." He replied. She smiled. She pretended to suddenly trip as she walked away. Trunks quickly caught. She got up and dusted herself. "Oh my thank you." She said in a naïve way. She pretended to walk away again but was limping. "You gonna be okay?" Trunks asked. "I think so, could you help me over to that bench?" she asked innocently. Trunks nodded. They sat down and began to talk about her work and other things. Before they knew it, they lost track of time or at least Trunks did (I couldn't resist do a love triangle, after all I am only female).
Lei-Fang looked for Trunks. He usually took her away from the fights but this time he left without a word. She had just come from the restroom. It had been a while but for the second time she threw up some, more blood. She looked around an electronic store, but no sign. "Lei-Fang?" a voice asked. Lei-Fang spun around. It was Nolan again! Something was different he wasn't dressed weirdly and his eyes looked gentle. Lei-Fang looked for an escape. "Don't go please!" he pleaded. Lei-Fang was shocked. He was being nice. "Why not? Aren't you gonna kill me if I stay?" Lei-Fang asked. In his mind, he hadn't expected the question but made a fast recovery. "I was under Gero's control, but now I am free. I came to apologize and hopefully find a friend that could understand me." He explained. "Really, you were under control of him?" she asked suspiciously. "Come on I have no other friends besides I have no proof to give you to make you believe me. I have come to warn you. Your brother is back. He has been to relaxed in trying tog et you and thinks it's time to harden up.by kidnapping you!" He said. Lei-Fang being naive was suckered in without realizing it. She gave a sigh. "What is it you want?" she asked tired. He grinned. "Meet me at the Center of Square Park tomorrow at noon. Than we can.hang out." He offered. "I better ask Trunks first." She said nervously. "Do you need him to rule all your life?" he asked sarcastically. "No but-" she was cut off by his look. "Just decide for yourself for a change." He tempted. "Besides, he's busy." Nolan said gesturing to Trunks who was sitting on bench talking with another girl and blushing! Nolan then left Lei-Fang just stared in confusion, jealousy, and pain.
Trunks sighed tired. "I'd better go." Trunks said stretching. "I guess so. By the way I didn't catch your name." She reminded. "Oh yeah sorry about that. It's Trunks. Yours?" he asked. "Naomi, it's a pleasure." She said smiling. "Say we should hang out again. You busy tomorrow?" she asked. "Nope." He replied after a moment of hesitation. "I get off of work at three. Wanna meet here again?" she asked. "Uh sure." He agreed. She got up and gave him a peck on the cheek and left. He blushed and stared after her in a daze. "R-ready to.go?" a voice said from behind him. He turned and saw Lei-Fang. Uh oh! He turned to ignore the hurt look in her eyes. He knew he just broke her heart. "Y-ya." He said and they went to look for Bulma and Vegeta.
Lei-Fang had been avoiding the question all day, but finally got her courage and went to Trunks room. "Can I come in?" she asked nervously. Trunks felt uncomfortable. "Sure." He said scared. He didn't know what to say to her. He felt like he had led her on. Got her hopes too high. Now he was with someone else. 'They' as in him and Lei-Fang never had been official right? "Trunks about a week ago." Lei-Fang started. Trunks took a gulp and was prepared, well actually he wasn't. Lei-Fang took a deep breath and said "That kiss didn't mean anything did it?" she asked. Trunks didn't know how to answer. "Guess not." He replied shocking them both. "What? You didn't think it did, did you?" he asked. 'Did I just say that?' he thought in disbelief. The answer had shocked them both again. Lei-Fang held back her tears. Trunks didn't know what to say, he had said enough already. "A- alright." She said and left. Trunks just stared out. He had broken her there was no way he could take it back. He had misled her and judged her. If anything, he didn't deserve her.
Lei-Fang just took a shower, and got dressed. She began to walk downstairs but stopped when she heard Bulma. "But why date some girl you don't know?" Bulma asked her son. Not that she didn't want him to be happy or anything, it's just that Lei-Fang was like a daughter to her. "Look mom I really like this girl." Trunks reassured her. "Alright, so what are you gonna do till two o' clock?" Bulma asked. "I thought I might talk to Lei-Fang, work things out, I think I hurt her feelings." Trunks answered. 'Gee I wonder why.' Bulma thought sarcastically. Lei-Fang was sneaking down the stairs and Trunks looked and saw her. "Hey can we talk?" he asked gently. Bulma left to give them privacy. "I'm in a hurry." Lei-Fang said and began to walk away but Trunks grabbed her arm. "Sakura can wait." Trunks told her sternly. "It's not Sakura now let go." Lei-Fang ordered. "Who is it then, she's the only one you hang around. Are you going somewhere with Krillin?" Trunks asked. "No." "Yamcha?" "No." My dad?" "No." "Piccolo?" "No." "Gohan?" "No." "Tien or Roshi?" "No and double no." Lei-Fang answered coldly each time. "Then who?" he asked. "None of your business." She answered. "I think it is, Gero is after you. Do I know him?" Trunks asked sternly. "No, and it doesn't matter." Lei-Fang replied. "I don't know if it's a good idea you go with a complete stranger, remember Gero is out there." Trunks said. Lei-Fang pulled from his grasp. "One you don't rule my life! Two, look who's talking aren't you dating a stranger today?" "That's different?" he yelled. "How so?" she snapped back. "Besides you wouldn't worry too much about Gero if you weren't afraid he'd use me first." Lei- Fang yelled. "What are you talking about?" he asked concerned. "I am not an idiot as hard as it may be to believe. I am just another puppet although for you its easier cause all you hafta to do is lead me on and you can get me to do your dirty work!" she said sobbing. "Lei-Fang I was not and am not trying to use you?" he said. "Then why don't you start telling the truth?" she asked. "What are you talking about?" he asked again. "You and Bulma have kept a lot from me. Told me not to go to the lab so I wouldn't find out what I was or who I used to be." Lei-Fang yelled. "You were in the lab? We told you to stay away from there!" he yelled. "Ya well I'm gonna hang out with someone who understands me and doesn't lie to me!" she screamed and slammed the door.
Lei-Fang cried a little on the way to the park. But she when she got there she saw Nolan. "You look sad and disturbed." He stated. "Its nothing I just don't feel well that's all." She said sitting by him. "Had a fight with that guy did you?" he asked. She looked shocked. "How'd you know?" she asked. "I have my ways besides, only a girl with her heart broken would look like that." He said. He picked a flower from the ground and handed it to her. She looked at it confused. "Well I have an offer for you, that might get you away from him for a while." He said. "What is it?" she asked quietly. "Your android like me, and yet you're confused about yourself. You don't belong with these people. They are human they can't understand you. Trunks certainly is hurting you too. Come back with me to your brother's mansion. I'll help your confusion and we understand each other because you're living with your own kind. And don't worry I'm not gonna try anything." He assured her. "M-my brother's mansion!" she exclaimed. "Are you insane!" she practically screamed. "No, listen." He said grabbing her hand as she turned to run. "There is someone there who can help you. We have only a favor to ask of you and no one gets hurt!" Nolan whispered. "Who will get hurt if I don't go?" Lei-Fang asked. "Every innocent and oblivious person in the mansion. As well as people in the cities.' Nolan said. "If I go what happens?" Li-Fang asked calmly. "You'll be used as a test subject for a little while and then you will be put in an arranged marry. Yes, the guys a jerk and womanizer but with you as his wife you'll have a lot of resources and power at your hands.. like helping people. Especially those in need of you!" Nolan persuaded. Though this didn't comfort Lei-Fang too much she couldn't risk even one person's life.
Trunks looked at the house. His date was great with Naomi it could have been better. That is if he hadn't worried about Lei-Fang the whole time. He entered it and he saw his mom sitting on the couch worrying. "Oh Trunks I'm so glad you're here." she said running up and hugging him. "What is it?" he asked concerned. "Its Lei-Fang she's leaving!" Bulma said. "What?! Why? Where's she gonna stay?" he asked. "I don't know." Bulma said exhausted. Trunks went up the stairs to see Lei-Fang. "Lei-Fang?" he asked before entering. Lei-Fang shut her suitcase quickly as if hiding something. "What is it?" she asked angrily. He shut the door behind him. "Why are you leaving?" he asked. "No one can understand me and besides we both are having a rocky time I think its good we both have sometime to think things out." She said tired. "Where will you go?" he asked concerned. "I already have a someone ready to take me in and they are very nice." She said picking up her suitcase and a bag. Trunks followed her out of the house. He walked behind her saying, "Look I know I hurt you but you don't have to-!" "Look no offense Trunks but it's not just our fight and everything. I just need to get away. With someone I trust." She answered cutting him off. He tried to pursue her the whole way to the park. As they walked it turned to dusk. But she wouldn't give in to anything he said. Lei-Fang stopped and set her bags by and bench and set down. Trunks remained standing. "I think your making a mistake. We could work out our fight, I mean you were happy with us." he tried again. "Was I Trunks, or is that just how you wished I felt. It meant nothing just like-!" but she was cut off by a voice. "Sorry I'm late ready to go?" the man asked. Trunks turned and his jaw dropped. It was Nolan standing there! Trunks put the pieces together. He regained composure. "No way you are not going with him you are coming back home! Even if it's by force you know I don't trust him!" he yelled at her. She just looked at him. "Now why on earth are you angry you got your own girlfriend besides she'll be safe me. Lei-Fang and I are adults we can handle things. We aren't going to do anything bad!" Nolan said kissing her hand. Trunks blood over boiled. Of course, she believed this s***. (Well he is mad.) She was naive enough to! But this didn't sucker him in. "Are you insane he's the enemy!" he yelled. "Trunks don't be rude!" Lei-Fang scolded already knowing well that this guy was evil and the enemy. Trunks couldn't believe this! Don't be rude? Hello, this was not some guest. No telling what Nolan would do. He might just sell her to Gero! "But he is the enemy! Hello!" he yelled angrily. "But he's changed he was under Gero's control." Lei-Fang tried to explain desperately feeling guilty for lying to him. There was a silence. She picked up the bags. "You walk out of here now then don't ever come back!" Trunks warned. Lei-Fang looked at him in shock. She may not be able to have his love, but she didn't want to lose his friendship also! But threatening her only made her more determined to prove him wrong. Lei-Fang walked up to Trunks and hugged him giving him a peck on the cheek. "I would never want to lose our friendship, but I wouldn't expect you to understand how I feel." She sobbed. Trunks slid his arm around her face. He opened him mouth to say something but couldn't think of what to say. She pulled from his embrace and left. It began to rain. Trunks just stood there. It was just like the last time his heart was broken and even worse. When '.Gohan died.' He thought. He hadn't been in love with Gohan but they were best friends and were of the same race. No one could understand him, but Gohan.
Lei-Fang looked out the window sadly. She was starting to feel guilty but also hurt by the things he did. (Plays a teenage song about heartbreak, jk.) The rain poured against the window. Lei-Fang just stared out and fell onto her bed. A knock came and she turned her head over to see someone enter. Her eyes widened. "You!" she gasped in disgust. The man smiled. "That's no way to greet your brother!" he said. Lei-Fang looked down at the floor. His voice told her exactly what she needed to understand. This was his domain.not her's. Here she would not find help so easy. Lei-Fang closed her eyes sadly. "Do you want to meet your fiancé?" Gero asked. Lei-Fang looked up 9not hopefully though).
Trunks continued to looks at three pictures in his time machine. One was of him by the time machine. Another was of his mother Bulma back in the future. The last was of Gohan training. Trunks smiled at it all. 'But Gohan died.' Trunks reminded. His thoughts went back to four nights ago when he kissed Lei-Fang. He never acted like that. He lost control and forgot what she was.

Lei-Fang sat in the car looking out the window beside Trunks. Bulma was driving while Vegeta sat in the passenger seat with his arms crossed. "Why must I come along for such an insignificant event in my life?" Vegeta complained. "We need to get some nice looking cloths for the party Vegeta!" Bulma yelled. "It is not a party it is a ball, where you have tea and Waltz! It is prissy! I am not a ballerina or a doll. I hate tea!" Vegeta snorted. Bulma made an annoyed sound.

"Well I have an offer for you, that might get you away from him for a while." He said. "What is it?" she asked quietly. "Your android like me, and yet you're confused about yourself. You don't belong with these people. They are human they can't understand you. Trunks certainly is hurting you too. Come back with me to your brother's mansion. I'll help your confusion and we understand each other because you're living with your own kind. And don't worry I'm not gonna try anything." He assured her. "M-my brother's mansion!" she exclaimed. "Are you insane!" she practically screamed. "No, listen." He said grabbing her hand as she turned to run. "There is someone there who can help you. We have only a favor to ask of you and no one gets hurt!" Nolan whispered. "Who will get hurt if I don't go?" Lei-Fang asked. "Every innocent and oblivious person in the mansion. As well as people in the cities.' Nolan said. "If I go what happens?" Li-Fang asked calmly. "You'll be used as a test subject for a little while and then you will be put in an arranged marry. Yes, the guys a jerk and womanizer but with you as his wife you'll have a lot of resources and power at your hands.. like helping people. Especially those in need of you!" Nolan persuaded. Though this didn't comfort Lei-Fang too much she couldn't risk even one person's life.
Trunks looked at the house. His date was great with Naomi it could have been better. That is if he hadn't worried about Lei-Fang the whole time. He entered it and he saw his mom sitting on the couch worrying. "Oh Trunks I'm so glad you're here." she said running up and hugging him. "What is it?" he asked concerned. "Its Lei-Fang she's leaving!" Bulma said. "What?! Why? Where's she gonna stay?" he asked. "I don't know." Bulma said exhausted. Trunks went up the stairs to see Lei-Fang. "Lei-Fang?" he asked before entering. Lei-Fang shut her suitcase quickly as if hiding something. "What is it?" she asked angrily. He shut the door behind him. "Why are you leaving?" he asked. "No one can understand me and besides we both are having a rocky time I think its good we both have sometime to think things out." She said tired. "Where will you go?" he asked concerned. "I already have a someone ready to take me in and they are very nice." She said picking up her suitcase and a bag. Trunks followed her out of the house. He walked behind her saying, "Look I know I hurt you but you don't have to-!" "Look no offense Trunks but it's not just our fight and everything. I just need to get away. With someone I trust." She answered cutting him off. He tried to pursue her the whole way to the park. As they walked it turned to dusk. But she wouldn't give in to anything he said. Lei-Fang stopped and set her bags by and bench and set down. Trunks remained standing. "I think your making a mistake. We could work out our fight, I mean you were happy with us." he tried again. "Was I Trunks, or is that just how you wished I felt. It meant nothing just like-!" but she was cut off by a voice. "Sorry I'm late ready to go?" the man asked. Trunks turned and his jaw dropped. It was Nolan standing there! Trunks put the pieces together. He regained composure. "No way you are not going with him you are coming back home! Even if it's by force you know I don't trust him!" he yelled at her. She just looked at him. "Now why on earth are you angry you got your own girlfriend besides she'll be safe me. Lei-Fang and I are adults we can handle things. We aren't going to do anything bad!" Nolan said kissing her hand. Trunks blood over boiled. Of course, she believed this s***. (Well he is mad.) She was naive enough to! But this didn't sucker him in. "Are you insane he's the enemy!" he yelled. "Trunks don't be rude!" Lei-Fang scolded already knowing well that this guy was evil and the enemy. Trunks couldn't believe this! Don't be rude? Hello, this was not some guest. No telling what Nolan would do. He might just sell her to Gero! "But he is the enemy! Hello!" he yelled angrily. "But he's changed he was under Gero's control." Lei-Fang tried to explain desperately feeling guilty for lying to him. There was a silence. She picked up the bags. "You walk out of here now then don't ever come back!" Trunks warned. Lei-Fang looked at him in shock. She may not be able to have his love, but she didn't want to lose his friendship also! But threatening her only made her more determined to prove him wrong. Lei-Fang walked up to Trunks and hugged him giving him a peck on the cheek. "I would never want to lose our friendship, but I wouldn't expect you to understand how I feel." She sobbed. Trunks slid his arm around her face. He opened him mouth to say something but couldn't think of what to say. She pulled from his embrace and left. It began to rain. Trunks just stood there. It was just like the last time his heart was broken and even worse. When '.Gohan died.' He thought. He hadn't been in love with Gohan but they were best friends and were of the same race. No one could understand him, but Gohan.
Lei-Fang looked out the window sadly. She was starting to feel guilty but also hurt by the things he did. (Plays a teenage song about heartbreak, jk.) The rain poured against the window. Lei-Fang just stared out and fell onto her bed. A knock came and she turned her head over to see someone enter. Her eyes widened. "You!" she gasped in disgust. The man smiled. "That's no way to greet your brother!" he said. Lei-Fang looked down at the floor. His voice told her exactly what she needed to understand. This was his domain.not her's. Here she would not find help so easy. Lei-Fang closed her eyes sadly. "Do you want to meet your fiancé?" Gero asked. Lei-Fang looked up 9not hopefully though).
