Outcomes and Promises Part B
(Jeri)
'I've been searching for them since I got here and I still haven't found either of them. Where in Kami's name could they be?' Jeri thought as she tried to sense out her mate and young son.
She knew both of them had advanced to the next round since she had been told by Piccolo that they had. So neither of them would be in the audience should she decide to look. Besides the point Vegeta would have told her by now if he hadn't advanced. He'd be ranting at her. She was about to give up and go sit down when she was pulled up to a hard male body and wrapped in warm arms.
She closed her eyes and let her tense body relax as she said, "You sure know how to get attention when you want it, Vegeta."
The arms around her tightened then released her while a tail wrapped itself around her stomach. Jeri absently ruffled the fur on his tail as she waited for him to say something. She heard his deep-throated purr as it made it's way through his body. She knew how he was. He'd tell her to stop even though he didn't want her to.
After a few minutes he came to his senses and grabbed his mate's hand with his own.
He then leaned forward and whispered, "If you plan on staying to fight you'd best not do that again."
Jeri chuckled at her mate then snuggled closer in his arms. After awhile she sighed and pulled herself away from the saiyan prince. Before she could comment on her mate's words her son knocked her to the ground. She was so intent on her son that she didn't see the infuriated Marai until he roughly yanked her to her feet to face him.
(Vegeta)
Vegeta was furious. He had been enjoying his time with his family when Marai came and forced his mate to her feet. He heard his son call out as he tumbled from his mother's arms, but paid it no mind. The boy would be fine.
It was his mate that he was worried about. Sure she was strong, but this boy, Marai, was much stronger. He about lost it when Jeri cried out in pain, but caught himself at the last possible moment.
'Oh, this boy is going to pay!' He thought as he tried to suppress the urge he had to go super and kill this guy for daring to touch what was his.
He knew his mate could handle it. At least he hoped she could because, as much as he hated to admit it, the boy was stronger than him.
(Jeri)
The demi-saiyan was running out of time. She knew that Trunks had seen the Androids and that now he wanted answers that she didn't have, but did he have to be so violent about it? She was being held up by the collar of her gi shirt while Trunks glared at her. He was pissed off beyond reasoning and she was the one that was receiving the brunt end of it. She knew that he was too angry to realize what he was doing. She also knew that he could kill her if he wanted.
Her green eyes turned to her frazzled mate. He was struggling to not come to her rescue for fear of her safety and their son's. She saw the rage in his eyes and silently prayed to Kami that he kept himself in check. She could only calm him to a certain extent through their bond, but she needed to be calm herself for that and she was certainly not calm.
She could free herself at any time, but Trunks might go ballistic if she did. She was starting to get angry and was kicking her feet trying to dislodge herself from the half saiyan that held her prisoner. The only reason she was angry was because her abrupt change in position had caused her son to go tumbling to the ground. She knew he was strong enough to not have been hurt by the fall, but her maternal instincts caused her to get angry with the man that tried to hurt her baby.
Bringing her hands up she tried to force Trunks' hand from her shirt. It didn't work. She wasn't strong enough in her natural form. He was near going super and she was still not powered up.
Snarling, she locked eyes with the purple haired half saiyan, forced her way into his mind, and telepathically said, *Trunks Briefs! Put me down right now! Don't make me call your mother! You know I will! *
She saw his blue eyes flicker for a second then flash to the blue/green of the super saiyan. She had only succeeded in making him angrier by mentioning his mother.
Things were starting to really get out of hand. It was then that Jeri remembered that she was a super saiyan herself, but she had not yet told her mate that she was. He had seen her touch it a few times when they first met, but he had never seen her actually acheive it. She had mastered it under Piccolo's training, but had decided to save it for a trump card later. She really did not want him to know; yet it seemed that there was no other choice. Pulling on her inner power Jeri slowly began to power up. With a loud yell and a surge of power Jeri blew Trunks away from her.
He hit the wall then stared, surprise breaking through his anger, at the super saiyan before him. He hadn't even known that she was a saiyan, much less a super saiyan. He could feel the remnants of his rage slip away as surprise and embarrassment filled his system.
Jeri floated above the ground, her golden aura pulsing, and glared at Trunks. Her mate's mouth was agape. So was her son's. They were as surprised as Marai was.
After a few minutes her gold hair turned back to auburn, her emotionless blue/green eyes turned back to emerald green, and the golden aura disappeared.
She dropped to the ground then said, "You just had to push me, didn't you! I outta strangle you for this!"
Then her voice lost its edge of fury and she said, "Kami, Marai, you could have hurt Angel, hurt me. What were you thinking?"
Trunks just stared at the woman who had become his surrogate mother. HE didn't speak. He was very ashamed of himself. In his fury at the discovery of the androids he had risked his only family. He knew he'd have to make it up to them somehow.
Vegeta just continued to stare at his mate. Would she ever cease to amaze him? Probably not. She had some explaining to do, and he would make sure she told him everything. Mates weren't supposed to hide things from one another.
That is the end of this chapter.
I hope you all liked it.
I'll update again after the holidays.
Ja and Merry Christmas everyone.
