Chapter 8: Solving the Mystery
"What the hell is going on in there?" Pan asked Trunks, barely over a whisper so that they wouldn't blow their cover. Goten's howls of pain had subsided and Trunks felt very uneasy about that.
"I don't know, but we better hurry." Trunks said distractedly. 'Where is Marron?' Pan nodded and followed Trunks' silhouette through the maze of trees and shrubs.
When they got to the clearing, the two went around to different sides of the building. On Trunks' signal (a bird noise) the two ran at the cabin and burst through the doors on either side of the building. Sazuki looked up, stunned. She quickly regained her composure.
"And what do I owe to this visit?" Sazuki asked calmly. Trunks looked around. His blood began to boil; Goten's unconscious and bloodied figure was lying next to Marron who sat like a small child on time out, rocking back and forth.
He charged at Sazuki only to run into Pan, who had had the same intentions. They crashed into each other and the blow knocked the wind out of both of them. They fell to the floor, ashamed and embarrassed. But most of all, mad. They both jumped to their feet and ran after her again. She was prepared for them this time.
When they were near enough, Sazuki grabbed them both by the arm, paralyzing them like she had done Goten. She began to laugh uncontrollably.
"My, my. You two are very strong." She hissed into their ears. They tried to struggle, but couldn't. They'd wait for their next opening. Sazuki snapped her fingers and two wooden chairs popped up out of nowhere and she sat them down into them. She snapped her fingers again and they were bound with ropes to the chairs. They weren't ordinary ropes however; they looked like wisps of black cloud almost. Like they could've from the depths of hell.
"What do you want?" Trunks asked calmly. Instead of answering, Sazuki took a large whiff of Trunks. "What the hell are you doing?" Trunks asked, much less calm than his first question.
"Yes, it is you. I've been waiting for you." Sazuki sneered and then went on sniffing Trunks all over. "I couldn't mistake that scent." She said to herself.
"What are you talking about?" Trunks asked, almost afraid of the answer. Sazuki sat down on Trunks' lap and put her arms around his neck. Trunks heard Pan gasp in jealousy and anger. He couldn't look over at her to reassure her because of Sazuki's iron grip.
"Well, haven't you ever wondered how your father died, Trunksie wunksie?" Sazuki asked giving him a small nip on the neck. "Surely you don't think it was because of natural causes or old age?" Sazuki stated rather than asked.
"What's it to you?" Trunks asked with the most venom he could summon to add to his voice.
"Oh, nothing. Actually, everything, really." Sazuki said pulling herself closer to Trunks. Trunks winced but couldn't resist against her.
"You're confusing me." Trunks croaked.
"Right now, it seems I have no physical strength to speak of, right?" Sazuki asked. Trunks nodded, going along with her. "Well, when your friend tried to resist me, my power seemed to sky rocket." Trunks nodded again.
In the corner, Goten was coming back to consciousness. When he heard Sazuki speaking, he decided to not let that fact be known.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Trunks asked. Sazuki giggled slightly.
"I have the power to summon any kind of strength I want, whenever I want it. All thanks to your daddy." Sazuki sneered and then forced Trunks to look her in the eye.
"You're lying." Trunks demanded. She threw her head up and laughed. When she was done she brought it back down slowly, and then out of nowhere, she kissed him. Trunks tried his best to break away, but couldn't. When she broke away, she said something that made Trunks' blood boil.
"That's for your daddy." Sazuki whispered. With an icy finger, she traced his jaw line.
"Pan…." Trunks whispered.
"I know." She whispered back. Silent tears were running down her face and splattering to the floor. She was lost.
