Author`s Note: Hey guys! Big hugs to all of you who reviewed! Sorry it`s been taking me so long to do all this and whatnot,but I`ve been extremely busy (and I have my ballet skills test this week). Big hugs to my new beta reader for proofing this for me! I love ya Aerith!

Now,on with the chapter!

Trunks reached behind Marron and undid the glowing restraint.

Her eyes darted to her wrists,which had turned a violent shade of red. "What is it you want with me? " She asked, a confident smirk dancing on her lips. "Kill me if you think it will help."

Trunks laughed to himself."Kill you? No... You would be no good to me dead." He paused,letting his eyes roam over her delicate body. She was wearing a black tank top,leather boots of some sort, and tight black pants which clung to the gentle curve of her hips.

She would be perfect.

"I am obviously no good to you alive either." She muttered. "I wish you would be kind enough to kill me."

"Please. If I was to kill you,your pathetic little friends would try to come after me. And that would just bother me... I can`t have a bunch of little humans running around,now can I?" He smirked wickedly.

Marron bared her teeth. He was toying with her.

"Come now. I`ll show you to your temporary quarters." His voice brought her back to reality.

"What do you mean?"

The prince stared into her eyes. "Well,I can`t have you staying here while I`m trying to entertain my guests. Now follow me." He turned and began to walk out of the room.

Marron`s thoughts shifted to her pocket,where her dagger was. If she was quick enough,she could get rid of him now.

"Are you coming or should I bind your hands again?" He was looking at her strangely.

She bit her lip. "I am coming." She mumbled before walking up to him.

He raised an eyebrow before turning and leading her down a long hallway to a large black door with a strange blue sympbol on it. Marron looked at it a moment,not really getting the change to study it before the prince pulled her inside.

Marron looked around,surprised to see a large bed,a chest, and a small window. She had been expecting a cot in a room with bars on the door and window. "How long will I be here for?" She asked,not really expecting an answer.

"Until I can make better accommodations... Give me about one day." He smirked. He looked her up and down once more before he began to leave. "I will send in my sister to dress you. Then I`ll send an escort for you for dinner."

Marron nodded and he closed the door. She heard a soft click and guessed that he had locked her in. 'Can`t have a bunch of little humans running around.' She rolled her eyes.

She had a bad feeling that she already knew what he wanted to keep her around for and shuddered involuntarily.

She would rather be killed. That would be more dignified.

She walked over to the bed and let her body fall limply onto it; since it would not very longer be her own. Marron allowed her thoughts to drift back to the mission. She had failed. Would Uub survive...was he even still alive? Unless she thought of something soon,she guessed she would never know.

Trunks walked into the throne room,bowed and approached his father. "You have a question for me?" The king asked in bored tone.

"Indeed father. You told me to choose a mate soon,and I have."

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "The human girl? She didn`t seem too inclined to be around you when I saw her on the surveillance screen.

The prince rolled his eyes. "She will come around. She is strong,intelligent and has a most enticing figure." Trunks smirked. "May I bring her along to dinner tonight?" He paused. "The one without every other man on board." He scowled thinking about how other saiyjins would try to put their hands on his new female.

Vegeta scowled. He put his hands on his face and began to massage his temples. "I suppose it would do no harm to have her their. But see to it that she is on good behavior." He practically growled.

Trunks nodded and smirked. "Thank you,father."

The king sighed."Now go,you`re dismissed."

His son bowed again before turning and walking out of the room.

The two guards on either side of the door noticed the smirk evident on the prince`s face and exchanged knowing glances.



Trunks walked down a long hallway and stopped at a door with an off white symbol on it. He knocked before walking in,not waiting for an invitation.

A young man with short,spiked black hair smiled at his old friend. "My prince,it is good to see you on such short notice." The young man extended his hand and Trunks took it gratefully.

"My friend. I come here to ask you a favor." Trunks was beaming.

The man nodded,smiling. "And?"

"I am requesting that you and your niece accompany me to dinner tonight."Trunks paused,watching his old friend smile as usual. "And I wondered if you would escort my new mate to dinner,since I have accommodations to maintain." Trunks smirked.

"Ahh." The boy smiled. "I am guessing that you are speaking of the human rebel leader."

Trunks nodded. "Indeed. However,she wants nothing to do with me at the time being."

"No? And I can`t imagine why." The young man said,an amused look across his gentle features.

Trunks playfully punched his friend on the arm. "Well,she is in indigio-beta."

The man nodded and Trunks smiled before turning and leaving the room.

Marron sat on the bed,absentmindedly brushing her hair with her long nails. She held her arm away from her body and looked at her fingers. Her nails were long and thick,making many people think that they were fake. She was just lucky to have strong nails.

Her gaze shot to the door when the familiar click of the lock was heard and the door opened slowly.

A girl about Marron`s age with long aqua hair and bright blue eyes walked in. Like the prince,she looked nothing like the traditional saiyjin.

The stranger smiled and Marron continued to stare at her with an uninterested look on her face.

The girl closed the door behind her and walked over to Marron. "My my,you certainly are as attractive as my brother claims you to be." The princess murmered,smiling.

When Marron didn`t reply,the girl sat down next to Marron. "I know you don`t want to be here,but you sorta got yourself into this mess,you know. "

Marron looked up. "And I would do it again for my race and my friends." She said with a sigh.

The long haired girl smiled. "As most any female would,I would imagine. You are loyal and that is a good quality... in anyone." The girl held out her hand. "My name is Bura..or Bra,whichever you prefer."



Marron looked at the girl`s hand for a long few minutes. "I`m Marron." She said quietly. If she was going to be around for a while,she might as well make friends with someone.

A/N: Well,that`s all for now! Again,sorry it`s taken me so very long to update,but I`ve been absolutely swamped,big hugs to you who reviewed and please every one do it again! Again,big hugs to Amy!
