Maiden of Destiny Chapter 7
Trunks turned around the corner and ran into Bulma. He easily fell back. Bulma gasped and got to her feet running over to her son. "Are you al-WOW!" she said feeling sick. "You smell like.like.alcohol! Young man!" Bulma scolded. Trunks pushed her away. Bulma was shocked but regained composure. "I'm fine. I only had one bottle of beer." Trunks said. "That's funny. Three are missing!" came Vegeta's voice from downstairs. "Trunks, dear, are you alright?" Bulma asked. "I'm fine." Trunks stated pushing past her. "Lei-Fang is with Gero." Bulma said. Trunks stopped for a moment. "She dug her own grave!" Trunks said starting to walk again. "Trunks you have a duty to Lei-Fang and if not her than the world! Who knows what Gero will do to her!" Bulma said. A knock came at the door. Bulma felt torn between two tasks but Trunks shut his door. Bulma sighed and went down to see whom it was. "Hello." Came a voice. Bulma hid her disappointment. "Hello, hold on Trunks is upstairs, Naomi." Bulma said. "Trunks! Naomi's here to see you!" she yelled. She glanced back at Naomi who was wearing a pink tube top and short jean shorts. Trunks came down the stairs and put on his jacket. "Don't stay out too long." Bulma said and he closed the door.
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer I know and
Maybe there is nothing that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do
Lei-Fang turned as she heard a sound. She saw a woman standing at the door. The woman had a sorrowful atmosphere. Her hair was curly very curly and black. It was in a bun and the woman wore a white angelic gown upon her pale creamy skin.
So, I cry and I pray and I beg
Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
Love me, love me, pretend that you love me
Lead me, lead me, just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me, love me, say that you love me
"Hello, I am your brother's wife." The woman said softly. Lei-Fang was shocked. "I'm Saura, it's nice to meet you Lei- Fang." Saura introduced. "Seems like you are about to live my life." Saura said beginning to walk. Lei-Fang felt on edge. The way Saura walked was weak like an old woman's but she looked about Tien and Yamcha's age. "You can confide in me but I won't force you to. You can't trust anybody here so be careful." Saura warned. Suddenly the woman fell forward and Lei-Fang rushed forward catching her. "A-Are you alright, misses." Lei-Fang asked. Saura gave a nod. She stood up but her breath was rapid. Lei-Fang helped her over the couch.
Lead me, lead me, just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you
Lately, I had desperately ponder
Spent my nights awake and I wondered
What I could have done in another way to make you stay
Reason will not teach a solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care as long as you don't go
Trunks seemed to enjoy the park. Though it didn't erase his problem he was a good at pretending he didn't even have one. "So how's your family?" Naomi asked. "Good." Came Trunks quick reply. 'Phase two in tearing them apart.' Naomi thought in disgust and boredom. Oh, the things she did for money and power.
So, I cry and I pray and I beg
Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
Love me, love me, pretend that you love me
Lead me, lead me, just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me, love me, say that you love me
Trunks pulled away from making out with Naomi for about one minute. Not that he didn't enjoy but something felt wrong. "What's wrong?" Naomi asked innocently. "Nothing." Trunks breathed and bent down to kiss her again. Naomi got an idea and pulled away from his lips. "Say, I work at this mansion and they're having a party. Do you and your family wanna come? But it's a costume party so you have to wear a disguise!" Naomi said and giggled.
Lead me, lead me, just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you
Anything but you
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
I know that you need me
I can't care about anything, but you.
"Sounds good to me. I'll have to check with my parents though." Trunks said. "By the way, what's the party for?" asked Trunks. She grinned. "The owner of the mansion has a sister who's getting married." Naomi explained (the song is called Love Fool from Romeo and Juliet. It's pretty good).
Bulma got out of the van panting. "You, know when Naomi said me and my family she didn't mean EVERYONE!" Trunks said getting out panting as well. Suddenly a bunch of fireworks went of into the air. Choatzu was dressed looking liking a clown (not that doesn't look like one. And I'm not bashing him!). Tien's costume was a night in shining armor. Vegeta dressed in his proud Saiyan outfit. Bulma gave in saying she guess it could be considered a costume. Bulma was dressed as a queen while Trunks was dressed as a punk. Naomi was clinging to his arm wearing a Devil outfit. Yamcha was dressed as a king (this has nothing to do with pairing him and Bulma together) and Krillin as his jester. Roshi dressed as a turtle while Oolong didn't need a costume people thought he was dressed a pig. They all began to enter the party.
Lei-Fang looked over at her fiancé she was dancing with. Ken was everything Nolan said he was and more. A jerk and she could already tell he was gonna be having twenty affairs behind her back. The only thing he was interested in thus far was her body. Lei-Fang looked over for help from Saura who dressed as a fairy queen. Lei-Fang in her angel outfit looked innocent and beautiful. Her hair was in her usual braided in a loop that came out a ways like a ponytail at the end of the loop. Her angel wings framed her body. Her fiancé was dressed as a mafia person. Lei-Fang put on her mask since she was supposed to be wearing one like everyone else. But it was too tight! Her fiancé was about to pull her into the dance again when the music ended and she walked away. She couldn't tell who anyone was with all these dumb masks! She could end up dancing with Nolan for alls he knew! Another set of fireworks was launched into the air but Lei-Fang kept walking and looking up in awe at the fireworks. Suddenly she bumped into someone.
Trunks felt his body collide with another but he didn't fall back. He reached forward and caught the person before they hit the ground. He looked down to see a girl dressed as an angel. Her mask was white with silver glitter on it compared to his plain purple mask. Lei-Fang felt a pair of muscular arms catch her. She looked up seeing a man dressed as a punk. The mask didn't go with the outfit but everyone was wearing a mask so she guessed it didn't matter. Another dance started and Lei- Fang could sense a warm smile behind his mask. He placed her hand on his shoulder and his own on her hip. His other hand clasped her own and she felt a spark on her fingers. Soon a waltz began. The song ended and yet another set of fireworks went up. Trunks bent down and kissed Lei-Fang's hand tenderly, which made her blush, as he was a complete stranger! Ken led lei-Fang up the staircase. He removed his mask and then removed her's as they stood at the top. He turned to the crowd and smiled. "Everyone, I would like to thank you all for coming. As you know it is a joyous occasion since Dr. Gero's innocence was proved and the safe return of his sister, Lei-Fang, has resulted in our soon to be happy marriage." Ken announced. Lei-Fang bit her lip. Trunks on the other hand was in shock. The very woman he danced with was Lei-Fang. And she was the woman being married in honor of the celebration! Trunks felt his knees weaken. "Don't they look so cute!" exclaimed Naomi smiling. Trunks covered his mouth and felt his knees fall beneath him until he was helped up by Tien and Yamcha who helped Trunks make his way into the men's room. Trunks ran over to the sink and began to vomit. He fell to the ground with vomit dripping from his mouth. Tien got some paper towels and wiped the vomit away. "I think it's time we go home." Yamcha said and Trunks gave a weak nod.
Bulma paced up and down Chichi's room. Chichi seemed nervous. "Bulma why did you come over to OUR house?" Chichi asked. "Because I found out why Lei-Fang left. I've hacked in to Gero Corps. Files and got some dirt on Gero. They blackmailed her into coming! We need to devise a plan to get her out of there!" Bulma said. "And how do 'we' plan to do that?" Chichi asked. "Well, I sorta got some employees at the mansion filed." Bulma said sheepishly. "You did what? How? And what are those people gonna do now?!" Chichi exclaimed. "Cool it1 It's for their own good. They are out of danger from Gero and it helps us in the long run. As for how, it's my secret! Now we are all going to try and get jobs there." Bulma explained. "Hey Chichi what's for breakfast1 I'm hungry!" came a voice from the doorway. The figure yawned. Bulma went pale and fainted. Chichi ran up to her. "Bulma! Are you okay?! Wake up! Bulma!" she shouted. Bulma stirred. "Chichi I had the weirdest dream. Goku was alive." Bulma said groggily. "It wasn't a dream!" Goku laughed. Bulma fainted again.
Tien fell asleep on his bed. ."Where's Saura, Tien?" asked Choatzu after the tournament ended. Tien looked down. "I haven't seen her yet." Tien said fearing the worst."Who is she?" "Why that's Misses Saura. She's a beauty and very kind. It's a shame though; she's married to the wrong guy. He beats her and sleeps with other women behind her back. Lord only knows why she puts up with it! She's not blind! But it could be the money. He is very rich." .Tien shot up from his bed panting.
"HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN ALIVE?!" Bulma yelled pointing to Goku. Goku started to count his fingers. "Two-No! Three weeks." Goku said counting. Bulma fell over. "How do you do it!" she shouted annoyed. "Look, Goku has free time here for a while to help out. Instead of being so mad maybe you should be happy!" Chichi said. Bulma sighed. "I guess you're right. But I can't believe you kept this from all of this all this time!" Bulma exasperated. "Look, I need your help. I can't get Trunks to help unless he's away from Naomi. It's like he knows she's not his type or whatever but he doesn't care. It seems like his escape. He hurt Lei- Fang badly and she's running away from him which makes the pain for him come back double." Bulma said with concern. "Trunks will have to find out the truth on his own. He judged her too harshly so he needs to have faith in her and trust her for once. And earn her trust back." Chichi said.
"Okay, so you've been alive for how long?" "Three weeks." "And you didn't tell us why?" "Well it was supposed to be top-secret for your safety." "Oh." "How dare you Kakarott!" "Don't start!" So *nervously* how about we go onto other subjects?" Yamcha asked. "Okay, here's chart." Bulma said laying it down on the table.
Bulma- lab assistant
Vegeta- bodyguard
Goku- bodyguard
Trunks- servant
Tien-servant
Chichi- chef
Yamcha- security
Roshi-butler
Choatzu- assistant chef
Krillin- servant
"What about me?" "Gohan, you're too young!" "I am stuck with Kakarott!" Wow! Really that's great, Vegeta!" "Why am I a butler?! "Why am I not on the chart?!" "We can have you as the stuffed pig if you prefer!" Bulma retorted. "Okay, so we have to go through interviews but if we make it past that everything should go more smoothly." Bulma instructed.
Lei-Fang felt hot tears on her face. This was what she was going to go through for the rest of her life! Another giggle came from the room beside her.her fiancé's room. She put her pillow over her head tightly and cried herself to sleep. She was better than him. She would prove it! She was strong! She wasn't going to sink down to his level! Ignoring may actually help her escape from having to sleep with him herself. She would have more time to help people with the power she would soon have at her hand. The wedding was in five days.
Everyone made it into their respectful jobs except for Roshi and Choatzu. But those were minor roles and Bulma was thankful. Yamcha was assigned to front gate security. He was told there would be some days of the week where he would work in the mansion with other guards in a camera room. Chichi was chef, one three chefs actually. Tien and Trunks had yet to receive who they'd be serving. Vegeta and Goku were guarding Mrs. Gero and were notified in the future they'd be guarding Ken's wife/Fiancé, Lei-Fang. Bulma made it into being a lab assistant easily but it would have been too suspicious to enter as Bulma whom Dr. Gero already knew. So she assumed another identity but she was on the lower part of the power chain. She was helping with small things and would need to make her way to the top. "Tien and Krillin you will be serving Mrs. Gero. Trunks you will serve Ken's fiancé." A man instructed. The two nodded. "I will have two other servant show you the way things are done. Please follow them." The man ordered gesturing to two nearby servants. The boys once again nodded and did as they were told. 'I wonder what Naomi does around here as her job.' Trunks thought looking around.
Tien entered the room. It was gloomy in there. The walls were painted with light colors of flowers with yellow and purple petals. It smelt of bellflowers in the room. Tien heard a soft sweet humming sound. He saw a woman rocking herself in her chair. She looked very pale and weak. Tien looked at her in deep thought. He must have seen her somewhere before. Her dark curly hair framed her angelic face. Her white pale gown made her look like a ghost but a graceful one who death nor illness could not mar her beauty. The woman turned and smiled to them. "Hello you must be-!" she gasped. "T-Tien?!" she croaked. Tien looked confused. "Do I know you?" he asked. She looked like she had seen a ghost. Slowly she bowed her head to over her shamed eyes. "N-No." she managed to choke out. "But you said my name!" Tien argued. 'How could this happen?! How did Tien end up here?!' her screamed. "Well?" Tien asked angrily. "How do you know me?!" he asked again. "You are dismissed." She whispered. "We are not finished!" "Hold your tongue, servant! If I say it is the end of the discussion then it is! Now remember your place!" she scorned. Tien looked about to angrily protest but Krillin grabbed his arm. "It's time to go, Tien." He said. Tien composed himself and nodded. He threw her a glance before leaving the room. When the door shut, Saura immediately fell to her knees in tears.
Lei-Fang sat on her couch/windowsill thing (I don't know what they're called). She heard a knock at the door. "You may enter." She shouted not turning to the door. She continued to gaze up at the stars. She turned her gaze down at her white gaudy gown with shoulder straps. Such luxury disgusted her. Depressed she brought her hand up to look at. On her hand was a silver ring with a diamond. She felt a presence behind her. There was a warm and soft breathe on her neck. It felt like it was being drawn to her but the breath held a pain; a pain that made her flesh burn. She turned and screamed but a hand cut her off halfway. She squirmed under Trunks grip on her but was helpless. Trunks' look was desperate. He gaze turned to her cheek and her eyes followed. Trunks slowly pushed forward and kissed it. He made a trail down her neck and took his hand away from her mouth. Lei-Fang felt scared and confused. He brought his lips up and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck blissfully until her sense returned and she roughly pushed him away. Trunks looked utterly rejected and like a child. For once, she was scared. She felt his vulnerability and hurt. "We can't do this." She choked. "Why not?" he asked shaking his head constantly with fear and pushed forward kissing her again. She didn't resist for a long time until a knock at the door came. She brutally pushed away. "W-Who is it?!" she shouted but not angrily. "It is dinner milady. Your fiancé waits to escort you near the stairs." yelled a maid. "Thank you!" Lei-Fang yelled. She stood up and began to walk away until Trunks rushed forward grabbing her arm. "You can't just walk out like this!" he said. Lei-Fang turned around so he could see the tears in her eyes. She bent forward and kissed him. Trunks welcomed the kiss and deepened it. Lei-Fang slowly pulled away after a while. "I will not betray my fiancé." She stated on the verge of tears. "Betray?! How many women has he already taken to bed?! Did you lose count?!" Trunks retorted. Lei-Fang closed her eyes trying to block his voice as tears made their way down her cheeks. 'Three!" Trunks answered for her. "I don't have to sit here and take this!" Lei-Fang said turning to leave but once again, Trunks whirled her around to face him. "Why did you kiss me then Lei-Fang?! If you didn't care for me!" Trunks argued smirking but Lei-Fang smiled sadly. "A kiss doesn't have to mean anything. It is merely a moment of passion." Lei-Fang replied. "Not if you kissed me like that! It felt right for me! I know you felt the same! How could the kiss be only a moment of passion?!" Trunks demanded angrily but Lei-Fang smiled. It was not a sad smile but one full of irony. "It means nothing to me like our 'first' kiss meant nothing to you." She replied. "I lied! It meant everything to me!" Trunks argued. "Please Trunks. I know how much you love the Earth and protect it profoundly. But you will not toy with my heart and romance me just to get me away from this place. I am staying here! I knew where I was going when I left! I know Trunks, perhaps you do not remember, but I cannot return home. Remember? I left and you said I could never come back!" Lei-Fang said calmly. Trunks looked shocked and felt his heart caught in his throat. He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his cheek. "I won't EVER give up on you." He whispered. Lei-Fang swallowed hard. "Sad.how pathetic you are right now." She whispered. She was desperate for any way to push him away. Trunks was hit hard by her cruel words but only tightened his grip on her hands. Lei-Fang was cornered against her door. Trunks again bent forward and began to kiss her face and neck. Lei-Fang was holding up her last defense. Her hands clasped the doorknob behind her. Trunks cupped her cheek. "Stay with me." he said. Lei-Fang looked up and said yet another cruel thing. "How is Naomi?" she asked softly smiling evilly. Trunks again was caught off guard and looked desperate. He had completely for got Naomi. He had not even formally dumped her yet and here he was trying to romance Lei-Fang. Lei-Fang smiled. "Goodnight.friend." She whispered which Trunks expression told her that he was heartbroken but ignoring his pain Lei-Fang quickly slipped out the door. She began her walk to the staircase occasionally tripping and choking back her tears the whole way.
Trunks turned around the corner and ran into Bulma. He easily fell back. Bulma gasped and got to her feet running over to her son. "Are you al-WOW!" she said feeling sick. "You smell like.like.alcohol! Young man!" Bulma scolded. Trunks pushed her away. Bulma was shocked but regained composure. "I'm fine. I only had one bottle of beer." Trunks said. "That's funny. Three are missing!" came Vegeta's voice from downstairs. "Trunks, dear, are you alright?" Bulma asked. "I'm fine." Trunks stated pushing past her. "Lei-Fang is with Gero." Bulma said. Trunks stopped for a moment. "She dug her own grave!" Trunks said starting to walk again. "Trunks you have a duty to Lei-Fang and if not her than the world! Who knows what Gero will do to her!" Bulma said. A knock came at the door. Bulma felt torn between two tasks but Trunks shut his door. Bulma sighed and went down to see whom it was. "Hello." Came a voice. Bulma hid her disappointment. "Hello, hold on Trunks is upstairs, Naomi." Bulma said. "Trunks! Naomi's here to see you!" she yelled. She glanced back at Naomi who was wearing a pink tube top and short jean shorts. Trunks came down the stairs and put on his jacket. "Don't stay out too long." Bulma said and he closed the door.
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer I know and
Maybe there is nothing that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother

Lei-Fang turned as she heard a sound. She saw a woman standing at the door. The woman had a sorrowful atmosphere. Her hair was curly very curly and black. It was in a bun and the woman wore a white angelic gown upon her pale creamy skin.
So, I cry and I pray and I beg
Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
Love me, love me, pretend that you love me
Lead me, lead me, just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me, love me, say that you love me
"Hello, I am your brother's wife." The woman said softly. Lei-Fang was shocked. "I'm Saura, it's nice to meet you Lei- Fang." Saura introduced. "Seems like you are about to live my life." Saura said beginning to walk. Lei-Fang felt on edge. The way Saura walked was weak like an old woman's but she looked about Tien and Yamcha's age. "You can confide in me but I won't force you to. You can't trust anybody here so be careful." Saura warned. Suddenly the woman fell forward and Lei-Fang rushed forward catching her. "A-Are you alright, misses." Lei-Fang asked. Saura gave a nod.

Trunks pulled away from making out with Naomi for about one minute. Not that he didn't enjoy but something felt wrong. "What's wrong?" Naomi asked innocently. "Nothing."

Yamcha was dressed as a king (this has nothing to do with pairing him and Bulma together) and Krillin as his jester. Roshi dressed as a turtle while Oolong didn't need a costume people thought he was dressed a pig. They all began to enter the party.
Lei-Fang looked over at her fiancé she was dancing with. Ken was everything Nolan said he was and more. A jerk and she could already tell he was gonna be having twenty affairs behind her back. The only thing he was interested in thus far was her body. Lei-Fang looked over for help from Saura who dressed as a fairy queen. Lei-Fang in her angel outfit looked innocent and beautiful.

Yamcha said and Trunks gave a weak nod.
Bulma paced up and down Chichi's room. Chichi seemed nervous. "Bulma why did you come over to OUR house?" Chichi asked. "Because I found out why Lei-Fang left. I've hacked in to Gero Corps. Files and got some dirt on Gero. They blackmailed her into coming! We need to devise a plan to get her out of there!" Bulma said. "And how do 'we' plan to do that?" Chichi asked. "Well, I sorta got some employees at the mansion filed." Bulma said sheepishly. "You did what? How? And what are those people gonna do now?!" Chichi exclaimed. "Cool it1 It's for their own good.

"Hey Chichi what's for breakfast1 I'm hungry!" came a voice from the doorway. The figure yawned. Bulma went pale and fainted. Chichi ran up to her. "Bulma! Are you okay?! Wake up! Bulma!" she shouted. Bulma stirred. "Chichi I had the weirdest dream. Goku was alive." Bulma said groggily. "It wasn't a dream!" Goku laughed. Bulma fainted again.
Tien fell asleep on his bed. ."Where's Saura, Tien?" asked Choatzu after the tournament ended. Tien looked down. "I haven't seen her yet." Tien said fearing the worst."Who is she?" "Why that's Misses Saura. She's a beauty and very kind. It's a shame though; she's married to the wrong guy. He beats her and sleeps with other women behind her back. Lord only knows why she puts up with it! She's not blind! But it could be the money. He is very rich." .Tien shot up from his bed panting.
"HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN ALIVE?!" Bulma yelled pointing to Goku. Goku started to count his fingers. "Two-No! Three weeks." Goku said counting. Bulma fell over. "How do you do it!" she shouted annoyed. "Look, Goku has free time here for a while to help out. Instead of being so mad maybe you should be happy!" Chichi said. Bulma sighed. "I guess you're right. But I can't believe you kept this from all of this all this time!" Bulma exasperated. "Look, I need your help. I can't get Trunks to help unless he's away from Naomi.

He judged her too harshly so he needs to have faith in her and trust her for once. And earn her trust back." Chichi said.
"Okay, so you've been alive for how long?" "Three weeks." "And you didn't tell us why?" "Well it was supposed to be top-secret for your safety." "Oh." "How dare you Kakarott!" "Don't start!" So *nervously* how about we go onto other subjects?" Yamcha asked. "Okay, here's chart." Bulma said laying it down on the table.
Bulma- lab assistant
Vegeta- bodyguard
Goku- bodyguard
Trunks- servant
Tien-servant
Chichi- chef
Yamcha- security
Roshi-butler
Choatzu- assistant chef
Krillin- servant
"What about me?" "Gohan, you're too young!" "I am stuck with Kakarott!" Wow! Really that's great, Vegeta!" "Why am I a butler?! "Why am I not on the chart?!" "We can have you as the stuffed pig if you prefer!" Bulma retorted. "Okay, so we have to go through interviews but if we make it past that everything should go more smoothly." Bulma instructed.
Lei-Fang felt hot tears on her face. This was what she was going to go through for the rest of her life! Another giggle came from the room beside her.her fiancé's room. She put her pillow over her head tightly and cried herself to sleep. She was better than him. She would prove it! She was strong! She wasn't going to sink down to his level! Ignoring may actually help her escape from having to sleep with him herself. She would have more time to help people with the power she would soon have at her hand. The wedding was in five days.
Everyone made it into their respectful jobs except for Roshi and Choatzu. But those were minor roles and Bulma was thankful. Yamcha was assigned to front gate security. He was told there would be some days of the week where he would work in the mansion with other guards in a camera room. Chichi was chef, one three chefs actually. Tien and Trunks had yet to receive who they'd be serving. Vegeta and Goku were guarding Mrs. Gero and were notified in the future they'd be guarding Ken's wife/Fiancé, Lei-Fang. Bulma made it into being a lab assistant easily but it would have been too suspicious to enter as Bulma whom Dr. Gero already knew. So she assumed another identity but she was on the lower part of the power chain. She was helping with small things and would need to make her way to the top. "Tien and Krillin you will be serving Mrs. Gero. Trunks you will serve Ken's fiancé." A man instructed. The two nodded. "I will have two other servant show you the way things are done. Please follow them." The man ordered gesturing to two nearby servants. The boys once again nodded and did as they were told. 'I wonder what Naomi does around here as her job.' Trunks thought looking around.
Tien entered the room. It was gloomy in there. The walls were painted with light colors of flowers with yellow and purple petals. It smelt of bellflowers in the room. Tien heard a soft sweet humming sound. He saw a woman rocking herself in her chair. She looked very pale and weak. Tien looked at her in deep thought. He must have seen her somewhere before. Her dark curly hair framed her angelic face. Her white pale gown made her look like a ghost but a graceful one who death nor illness could not mar her beauty. The woman turned and smiled to them. "Hello you must be-!" she gasped. "T-Tien?!" she croaked. Tien looked confused. "Do I know you?" he asked. She looked like she had seen a ghost. Slowly she bowed her head to over her shamed eyes. "N-No." she managed to choke out. "But you said my name!" Tien argued. 'How could this happen?! How did Tien end up here?!' her screamed. "Well?" Tien asked angrily. "How do you know me?!" he asked again. "You are dismissed." She whispered. "We are not finished!" "Hold your tongue, servant! If I say it is the end of the discussion then it is! Now remember your place!" she scorned. Tien looked about to angrily protest but Krillin grabbed his arm. "It's time to go, Tien." He said. Tien composed himself and nodded. He threw her a glance before leaving the room. When the door shut, Saura immediately fell to her knees in tears.
Lei-Fang sat on her couch/windowsill thing (I don't know what they're called). She heard a knock at the door. "You may enter." She shouted not turning to the door. She continued to gaze up at the stars. She turned her gaze down at her white gaudy gown with shoulder straps. Such luxury disgusted her. Depressed she brought her hand up to look at. On her hand was a silver ring with a diamond. She felt a presence behind her. There was a warm and soft breathe on her neck. It felt like it was being drawn to her but the breath held a pain; a pain that made her flesh burn. She turned and screamed but a hand cut her off halfway. She squirmed under Trunks grip on her but was helpless. Trunks' look was desperate. He gaze turned to her cheek and her eyes followed. Trunks slowly pushed forward and kissed it. He made a trail down her neck and took his hand away from her mouth. Lei-Fang felt scared and confused. He brought his lips up and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck blissfully until her sense returned and she roughly pushed him away. Trunks looked utterly rejected and like a child. For once, she was scared. She felt his vulnerability and hurt. "We can't do this." She choked. "Why not?" he asked shaking his head constantly with fear and pushed forward kissing her again. She didn't resist for a long time until a knock at the door came. She brutally pushed away. "W-Who is it?!" she shouted but not angrily. "It is dinner milady. Your fiancé waits to escort you near the stairs." yelled a maid. "Thank you!" Lei-Fang yelled. She stood up and began to walk away until Trunks rushed forward grabbing her arm. "You can't just walk out like this!" he said. Lei-Fang turned around so he could see the tears in her eyes. She bent forward and kissed him. Trunks welcomed the kiss and deepened it. Lei-Fang slowly pulled away after a while. "I will not betray my fiancé." She stated on the verge of tears. "Betray?! How many women has he already taken to bed?! Did you lose count?!" Trunks retorted. Lei-Fang closed her eyes trying to block his voice as tears made their way down her cheeks. 'Three!" Trunks answered for her. "I don't have to sit here and take this!" Lei-Fang said turning to leave but once again, Trunks whirled her around to face him. "Why did you kiss me then Lei-Fang?! If you didn't care for me!" Trunks argued smirking but Lei-Fang smiled sadly. "A kiss doesn't have to mean anything. It is merely a moment of passion." Lei-Fang replied. "Not if you kissed me like that! It felt right for me! I know you felt the same! How could the kiss be only a moment of passion?!" Trunks demanded angrily but Lei-Fang smiled. It was not a sad smile but one full of irony. "It means nothing to me like our 'first' kiss meant nothing to you." She replied. "I lied! It meant everything to me!" Trunks argued. "Please Trunks. I know how much you love the Earth and protect it profoundly. But you will not toy with my heart and romance me just to get me away from this place. I am staying here! I knew where I was going when I left! I know Trunks, perhaps you do not remember, but I cannot return home. Remember? I left and you said I could never come back!" Lei-Fang said calmly. Trunks looked shocked and felt his heart caught in his throat. He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his cheek. "I won't EVER give up on you." He whispered. Lei-Fang swallowed hard. "Sad.how pathetic you are right now." She whispered. She was desperate for any way to push him away. Trunks was hit hard by her cruel words but only tightened his grip on her hands. Lei-Fang was cornered against her door. Trunks again bent forward and began to kiss her face and neck. Lei-Fang was holding up her last defense. Her hands clasped the doorknob behind her. Trunks cupped her cheek. "Stay with me." he said. Lei-Fang looked up and said yet another cruel thing. "How is Naomi?" she asked softly smiling evilly. Trunks again was caught off guard and looked desperate. He had completely for got Naomi. He had not even formally dumped her yet and here he was trying to romance Lei-Fang. Lei-Fang smiled. "Goodnight.friend." She whispered which Trunks expression told her that he was heartbroken but ignoring his pain Lei-Fang quickly slipped out the door. She began her walk to the staircase occasionally tripping and choking back her tears the whole way.
