A/N: In my version of this DBGT never existed, so don't give me any bad
reviews about that, please. I (and one other person) own Kinu, Gogeta (as
in Bra and Goten's daughter), Lilly, Princess Lei, and Kotaishi, but sadly
none of the other characters are mine . . .
I'm gonna try to put Lilly in here a little more, since I didn't do that
last chappie.
~Things Take A Turn for the Worst~
I knew him. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew who he was, but my memory was fuzzy. Could he be? Perhaps. . .
I fiddled with the gold heart locket on my purple choker. I felt the small engravings on it. He was . . . so . . . familiar, somehow, lingering in the back of my mind. Well, whoever he was, he was still a stranger, and there have already been two. You can never be too careful if more of them keep showing up.
:::::::::::::::: Irakino's POV ::::::::::::::
I kept my eyes fixed on Princess Lei. Her eyes were wide and full of surprise and fear. Without thinking I looked to my right and my eyes fell upon a girl who looked similar to the princess. I remembered her, but who was she? The memory was lost somewhere back in the void of my past. She looked so familiar. Her dark, ocean blue eyes, porcelain skin, and lavender hair that fell over her soft face to her pink glossed lips. What was I thinking? I kept trying to keep my mind fixed on my mission, a mission so delicate, if I let just one word slip, it would all fall apart.

I felt crummy. Nothing was as it was supposed to be. I hated the world, everyone. Well, almost everyone.
I looked up to see the stars, beautiful, like jewels glowing melodiously in the black void of darkness around them. I could hear the sentimental roar of the waves crashing elegantly on the shore further below the cliff that I was sitting on. I felt the soft ocean breeze as it lifted my hair from my shoulders.
Why did things have to be this way? I asked myself.
I leaned back against something hard. My black hair fell softly onto my shoulders. I looked slightly to my right, only to see Kotaishi looking down at me. I avoided meeting his gaze and quickly looked back to the open sea.
I hated everything, including him, especially him. How could he expect me to do that? It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. It was immoral. All my dreams have come crashing down.
Without thinking I accidentally let a tear escape my eye. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: ~:~:~:~:~:~
I was in my usual cheery mood today. Today was a very special day. Today Trunksies (Jr. obviously) was taking me out on a date!!!
I brushed my soft blonde hair. I stared at the mirror. I was in the most beautiful dress I had. It was a spaghetti strap pink dress, not too long, not too short. Or was it not short enough, I couldn't decide.
I heard the doorbell ring and I ran as fast as I could in my pink high heels, to the door. I found out that my momma, Marron, had answered it and had offered Trunksie to come inside. He looked so cute in his tuxedo. I managed to convince him to wear one.
"Hiiiiiiiii, Trunksieeeeee!!!" I yelled.
:::::::::::::::: Trunks Jr. ::::::::::::::
My eyes widened and I gasped with fear. It was Lilly. She was ready. I was expecting her to take longer. Why was fate so mean to me? She did look nice in her little pink dress. I would've preferred a more casual style, but she insisted on wearing nice clothes and going to a restaurant that you paid ¥1900 for a sandwich that you can get somewhere else for ¥200. Reluctantly, I agreed.
Her soft, blond hair fell a little over her bangs.
"Uhh . . . hey, Lilly," I stammered.
Hesitantly I presented my arm for her to take it. She hooked her arm around mine. I swallowed hard. This was the part I dreaded most . . . the date.

The Next Day
I stormed into the school building. I was not in a good mood. I did NOT want to be messed with. I had a large frown across my face and the furrowed eyebrows to go with it.
Icha started to walk up to me. Without even looking I took hold of her shirt brought her close to me and thrust her out, causing her to crush some lockers. I didn't care if I got into trouble. My life was already messed up anyway. I kept walking towards Kinu.
"Hey, Gogeta. How's it going?" she asked.
"Horrible, dreadful, awful, terrible!" I responded. I didn't even know that I knew so many synonyms.
"Why what's wrong?" She gave me that suspicious look.
"That's what's wrong!" I pointed behind me at Kotaishi.
"What's wrong with him? Did you get into your first relationship fight?" She gave me her stupid ooo-some-interesting-gossip look.
"NO!" I stammered still pointing, "a-and yes."
"C'mon." She took my arm and dragged me to the girls' bathroom.
"Okay. Talk."
I let out a frustrated sigh and rolled my eyes. "Well, it's like this. . ."
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: ~:~:~:~:~:~
I waited as Kinu and Gogeta talked in the bathroom. Kinu didn't even introduce me. I caught a glimpse of Kotaishi looking at me.
Yeah. I knew him. He was the Princess's Protector, or body guard. What was with him and that Gogeta character? She was weird. Oh well.
I just have to stick to the mission.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: ~:~:~:~:~:~
"So . . ." I said.
"SO?! Are you crazy?!" Gogeta shouted.
"Remind me again why this is a big issue," I told her. This wasn't getting through to me. How could she be so mad at something like this?
"Are you stupid?"
"No, you are."
"You're calling me STUPID?!" she shouted. Her eyes were somehow getting bigger than humanly possible.
"Calm down Gogeta," I said putting my hand on her raised shoulders, "Now, just tell me again why this is so important."
She let her shoulders fall. She shook her head and made a semicircle gesture with her left arm as she spoke. "How could he expect so much of me?"
"Just tell him how you feel," I said soothingly.
She sighed. "Alright."
We walked out of the bathroom. Gogeta was breathing hard. She walked over to Kotaishi then turned her head to face me.
"Go ahead. Tell him how you feel," I said.
She turned back to face Kotaishi. She took a deep breath and said, "Kotaishi . . . how am I gonna put this?" She looked up at him and struck him across the face with her left fist. He stumbled back a few feet evidently not expecting that to happen. All I could do was stare in absolute silence.
"That was for asking," she said. "This is for expecting." Again she punched him across the face but with her right fist this time. "And this . . . this is for what you were going to do to our planet!" She hit him one last time in the stomach. Kotaishi landed on the floor with a thud.
Wait. What was all this about what they were going to do to our planet? Had I missed something? He'd told Gogeta something that no one else was supposed to know but him and Lei?
"I never want to see you again!"
"If that is what you want," he said getting up and wincing at the pain she'd inflicted on his stomach.
Jeez he'd do anything for her!
He placed his hand on the left side of her neck.
"Of course that is what I want! And-don't touch me!" she snapped as he knocked his hand away.
He nodded. "But remember, I still care for you." And with that he teleported somewhere else. "IIIII HATE YOU!!!" Gogeta shouted into the now nothingness.
Everyone was staring, but she didn't seem to notice or care for that matter.

(Okay, that's enough of my cheesy stuff. That was just to set the storyline straight for the good stuff. It'll be steady, but it gets better, trust me. That's why I left some special details out; it's for the suspense.)
"Lei? Are you alright?"
"I'm just fine!" she retorted. Then as suddenly as she had started acting weird, she was fine. She held her head and groaned. She looked up at me, a worried expression on her face. "Gotenks?"
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: ~:~:~:~:~:~
Kinu and I knocked on the door of Gotenks's house. It slowly opened creaking as it did so.
"Gotenks?!" Kinu shouted.
We walked inside. The table had been broken in two; and half of it now lay about ten feet from the other half. The couch had been incinerated and almost all the roof was missing, second level and all.
I turned to glance at Kinu. I saw a questioning look on her face that must've matched the look on my face.
"What. . ." she began. There was an awkward silence.
"Do you feel that?" I said quickly. I looked up.
Kinu gasped. She looked at me with large eyes. They were full of fear like she was stunned. Then she looked up. "Gotenks. . ." her voice trailed off.
We both flew to the spot of the draining ki.
