CHAPTER 6

Trunks opened his eyes, slowly focusing in on his surroundings. It was the guest room in the Capsule Corporation. One thing he didn't recognize, though, was a beautiful woman sitting in the corner on her chair. She got up when she saw him looking at him. "I see you are awake. You are requested downstairs."

Trunks looked dumbfounded. This woman was so beautiful that he couldn't focus on the words that seemed to spill from her lips. All he could think of was her. Her beautiful, long, dark hair. Her dark eyes, that complemented her hair. Her curves that seemed to make her even more beautiful. She looked over at him, "What, do you need some help?"

Trunks blushed and shook his head no. He put his feet over the edge of the bed and tried to stand up. He would've fallen over if the woman hadn't caught him. She held him up and his light blush turned dark. "Don't worry," she assured him, "You're not the only one that has trouble."

He got the hang of walking by the time they got to the elevator, and could, just barely, walk on his own. She still helped him, even though he protested. She pushed the button while balancing him, and he was surprised she was so strong. She hummed along with the elevator music. Trunks felt uncomfortable around her. He didn't know why, but she made him feel nervous. He kept stealing glances at her when she wasn't looking, turning away whenever she looked over at him. "Are you okay, Trunks-kun?"

Trunks nodded. "Yeah, but how did you know my name?"

The woman smiled. "The guard told me."

He nodded and looked down. She smiled. "My name is Katoria, but you can call me Kat."

Trunks blushed and nodded. She smiled and then turned her attention to the opened doors. When the doors opened, they were on the first floor, and in the lobby was Goku, Goten, ChiChi, Piccolo, and Vegeta. Trunks waved over at Goten. "Come on Goten-kun, let's get something to eat."

Goten nodded, and Goku got up. "Goku-san, that's okay, we'll make some food." Trunks told Goku.

Kat's stomach growled and Trunks turned around laughing. "I'm hungry, too. Do you think you could fix me up something?"

Trunks nodded, a smile plastered on his face. Goten was already at the elevator, so Kat left to sit down with the men. When Trunks hit the second floor button, the doors closed. Trunks let out a breath of air. Goten laughed. "I guess you noticed Kat-san."

Trunks nodded, blushing a deep red. "Say, why was she in my room?"

Goten shrugged. "She just decided to watch you instead of Vegeta-san."

Trunks was surprised she picked him. But, between him and Vegeta, no wonder she picked him. He couldn't keep her off of his mind, and Goten seemed occupied with her too. "How long did she watch me?"

Goten shivered. "That's the weird part. She's like Piccolo-san. She watched you three days strait with no food, water, or sleep."

Trunks was amazed anyone could do that. "What'd she do that whole time?"

Goten shrugged. "Piccolo-san said she watched you and read."

Trunks was shocked that she didn't sleep for three days. She should've at least rested at night, or got a snack. "Trunks-kun, guess who visited you?" Goten teased.

Trunks looked at Goten. "Who?"

"Tayhei-san!"

"You're kidding. Doesn't she hate me?"

"Well, I guess not. She stayed with you when Kat-san was reading. Someone was constantly watching you."

Trunks gulped. Tayhei? Like him? Why would she even care if he died? She was always so mean to him. So what in the world was she doing watching over him? Trunks shook his head. "I really don't understand women."

Goten laughed, "Me either, Trunks-kun. Me either."

The bell dinged and they walked out of the elevator and down the hallway. The kitchen was at the end of the hallway, and cook was already making food. Trunks laughed and waved to Maria. "Hey, what are you making?"

Maria smiled. "I'm making curry. I hope you and your friends are hungry. Could you get Tayhei-san for me? She's downstairs in your mother's lab."

Trunks nodded. "Come on Goten-kun, let's go get her."

Goten winked. "You go get her. I'll stay here and....help Maria-san."

Maria and Trunks laughed.

"Yeah right," Trunks said, "More like you'll help her clear out the fridge."

"Hey," Goten yelled, "Helping is helping. Now, go get her."

Trunks nodded and went over to the elevator. The doors closed after he hit the button that said B1. The way down he wondered how Tayhei could like him. He thought she was not interested in him, and he found himself wondering what she would do when she saw him. He hoped that he could just get back to the room Kat was in without incident. He just couldn't stop thinking of her. She was so gorgeous. There seemed to be something else about her. Intelligence, probably.

He walked out of the elevator when the doors opened and put in the password to open the door five feet in front of the elevator. It opened and he saw Tayhei, wearing white, as usual. She was mixing chemicals, but dropped what she was doing when she saw Trunks. "TRUNKS-KUN! You're okay."

She ran over to him and threw her arms around him. He pushed her back. "Whoa, take it easy. I'm still recovering."

He was feeling perfectly fine, but he didn't like the way Tayhei was displaying so much emotion. Girls made him so uneasy.

"So," Tayhei started.

Trunks cut her off. "Come on, we've got to go upstairs. Foods ready."

Tayhei rolled her eyes at him and gave him a disgusted look. She shoved past him and went into the elevator. Trunks ran in just before the door closed and let out a breath of air. He didn't want to wait to see Kat. She seemed to be the only thing on his mind, and Tayhei could tell he was thinking of her.

"I see you met Katoria-san."

Trunks nodded and looked back up. The doors opened and he walked out, seeing Kat sitting on the couch. There was a spot open beside her, and Trunks stumbled over to sit by her. She smiled when he sat down.

"You okay?"

Trunks blushed. "Yeah."

Kat smiled. "Good."

Tayhei shot Kat a look, but she completely ignored it. Vegeta growled. "So...continue."

Kat nodded. "Right. Well, after Brolly-san, my father left, I was abducted by the Gurglon, Veter-san. Veter-san was the one that must've beaten all of you. So, he was about to execute me, but I made a bet that I could be of better use than all of his foot soldiers. I was only eight, though. It didn't seem to bother him, and after a year, I proved myself worthy. I had made a healing serum. It allowed the injuries to be healed when it was poured on.

"Most of the victims they sent me, I saved. Especially if I thought they had a chance. But then, there were the men I had to kill in front of Veter-san to prove I could torture. I can't believe what I did to those people...they begged me for mercy and all I did was test out new serums and tools on them. I killed them. All of them."

There were tears in her eyes, but she continued. "After that, I knew if I wanted to save the people, I would have to make the guards scared. I wasn't sorry when I had to torture the guard. He knocked over one of my test tubes, so I made an example of him. I gutted him, letting the wolves have his body when I was done. That got them scared."

Vegeta seemed to enjoy her torture story. He was bored at first, when she talked of the way she had to sacrifice the innocent, but listened with curiosity when she enjoyed torturing the guards. Everyone else, on the other hand, looked at her differently. She seemed to surprise even Trunks, who kept his eyes glued to her the whole time, just like Goten. Tayhei gave her a disgusted look and almost lost control when Trunks put an arm around Kat's shoulder. Kat said she was okay, but Tayhei would make sure she wasn't.

"Then the guards left me alone," she continued, "they were too scared to do anything. I just proved I was more ruthless to Veter-san. He even sent me guards that 'misbehaved'. So, I tortured, but didn't kill them. I guess Veter-san wanted them to be stronger. I just can't believe I did all of that torturing."

Goku nodded and gulped. Vegeta was smiling.

"Girl."

Kat shot him a dirty look. "It's Kat."

"Kat-san...what exactly did you do?"

Kat looked at Vegeta disgustedly. Then, she smiled cruelly, and gave Vegeta a shiver. "Exactly what I'm going to do to you."

"Watch your tongue, woman."

"You better watch your back, baka."

Vegeta smirked and but couldn't keep his cool. When he left, she could hear him take off, and then turned back to Goku and smiled. This time, it was warm and open, and no one (not even Tayhei) could believe how easily she could change moods. "Well, I'm starved, let's eat."

Goku laughed. "I agree with that!"

She picked up the curry sitting in front of Trunks and handed it to him. Tayhei and Trunks turned red. Tayhei went over and picked up the tray sitting in front of Kat and started to eat. Kat shrugged and leaned over to pick up the other plate. Both Trunks and Goten gulped, and Tayhei stormed off. Kat looked down to the elevator and gave Tayhei a confused look.

Tayhei gave her an elaborate hand flourish before the door closed. Kat shrugged it off, but Trunks was angered that Tayhei would do that. Kat looked over at Trunks. "Do you have a laboratory I could use?"

Trunks nodded. "Yeah, it's in the first basement. But, I wouldn't go down there right now, Tayhei's down there."

"I know, I just want to know where it is." She said, finishing off her curry and smiled at Trunks. "Thank you. Well, I think I'll go to bed. I'll have to answer your questions later. I'm very tired."

Goku and Goten nodded, not looking up from their second helping of food. Trunks finished his helping. "I'll escort you to your room."

The smile Kat gave him melted his heart. "Thank you so much."

"Uh, no problem." Trunks blushed and ran a hand through his hair.

She went over to the elevator and waited for him to enter before she pushed the third floor button. She smiled over at Trunks and brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face. Trunks stomach leapt into his throat when she smiled. She was the most beautiful creature Trunks had ever seen. She was so gorgeous. The door binged and Kat tripped as she walked out of the elevator. Trunks caught her and then helped her up. Kat blushed, making her look so beautiful. The way her pale complexion lit up when she blushed. Trunks laughed.

"Are you okay?"

She blushed even deeper and nodded. Trunks couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of her as he led her down the hallway. She was so gorgeous and graceful, he couldn't believe that she tripped. It made him want to laugh, but he held back the laugh. After all, he didn't want to hurt her feelings.

He turned into the fifth door, which was right across from his room. The bedroom was colored lilac and the curtains were a dark purple. The bed was queen size, and he knew that when her face showed relief that she loved it. She threw herself onto the bed and instantly fell asleep. Trunks chuckled, noticing how much she was like Goku. Sweet, innocent, and fell asleep easily.

He walked over to the bed and put her under the covers. Then he bent down and kissed her.

"Sleep well, Kat."

He went out the door, closing it softly behind him. He knew he wouldn't forget being with Kat at all. He would memorize every moment in her presence. What he did miss, though, was the smile Kat wore when he was gone.
