Author's Note: Hey everyone! Sorry it has taken me a while to update once again, but it's about the time for my dance concert to interfere with my normal routines, so bear with me. Yeah…and I'm going to California for a week on the 15th, so don't get all angry or anything b/c I won't be updating in there (although I will try to before I leave). Other than that, just enjoy the story and I'll see ya at the end! Oh yah, and big thanks to Aerith!

For the most part, the rest of the meal was eaten in silence, with the occasional small talk between Goten and Trunks and the occasional glances that Pan was giving Uub.

Trunks was becoming slightly intolerant with Marron; she was acting like a child, not like a rebel leader. Sitting at the table, he decided that he would complete the bond tonight, before things could get worse.

And they would. Not with Marron, but in general. Then she would know everything.

Once he noticed that everyone was done eating, he stood, signaling that dinner was over.

Bra walked over to Marron and was about to escort her out of the room when Trunks interrupted her. "Marron is moving in with me tonight, Bra. Besides, it is safer if I escort her from now on."

Bra gave her brother a knowing look and nodded.

Marron looked at Trunks with slightly narrowed eyes and a look of suspicion. There was more behind his eyes that he was not telling. Something important.

"Bra, you and Pan go straight to your chambers. I'll send someone to check on you in about a half an hour. Goten, I want you to take Uub to his chamber."

The group nodded except for Marron and the room slowly emptied out.

Trunks offered his arm and Marron reluctantly took it. They began walking towards his room and Marron decided to break the silence.

"What's going on, Trunks?" They stopped at his door and she put her hand on his chest, blocking him entry to his own room. "Tell me." Her voice was strong and unwavering, but her eyes betrayed her.

Trunks put his hand on her cheek and lightly caressed her skin. She was so beautiful, even when she was frightened. "There`s nothing going on. We're just beefing up the security… nothing major."

He leaned in to kiss her but she shied away. "You would tell me, wouldn't you?"

Trunks closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against hers. "Yes, Marron. I would tell you." He opened his eyes and was met with her piercing gaze.

Once again, he moved in to kiss her and was met with her lush lips.  He reached for the door handle, and they backed into his room holding on to each other as if they lost the other, they would fall off the face of the earth.

Outside of the room, Uub glared as Marron allowed herself to be led away to a life of prostitution. She was worth so much more.

Goten clapped his hand on Uub`s back and couldn't help but smile. "Don't bother, buddy. She's all his."

Uub allowed himself to be led down the hall. "Yeah, well… she was mine first."

Trunks gently pulled Marron on top of him and gently kissed her neck where the four puncture marks were beginning to fade. "I want you to do something…" He said just above a whisper.

She looked down at him and saw a burning desire in his cornflower eyes. Without knowing it, she nodded and kissed him gently.

All of her iron will dissolved when she was with him.

"I want you to bite me, just like I bit you. I want to know the pain that I caused you. That's the only way I can show I'm sorry."

She opened her mouth to reply, but he put his finger to her lips. Her eyes darted down to his finger and took his hand in hers before kissing the tip of his finger.

"Ok." She pulled off his shirt and allowed him to do the same to her.

Trunks sat up slightly and kissed her. She would be his and his alone. He guided her mouth to his neck where she needed to bite him to complete the bond.

She gently kissed the spot before sinking her teeth into his tender flesh.

The pain was excruciating due to the dullness of her teeth. Trunks pulled Marron`s body against his and balled his fists. "Don't stop… not yet…" He panted in between breaths as she dug her teeth deeper into him.

Marron`s jaw started to ache from the grip she had on his neck and released somewhat. She kissed his neck and instinctively licked at the blood that was gently pulsing out.

A whiteness flooded Trunks` vision as the bond began to complete itself. Marron pulled back and closed her eyes as the same sensation came over her.

His hand found her head and he gently ran his fingers through her hair. Marron`s head rested on his chest and she slowly drifted off to sleep, unaware of the new senses that she had acquired.

~*~*~

Trunks awoke the next morning to find Marron gone. He yawned and stretched before standing and pulling a shirt on. He didn't like the idea of her out and around alone, but now he could find her right away if he needed to.

He stretched and walked out into the corridor in the direction of the entertainment hall. Goten, Pan, Bra, Levi, and Khaki were all in there, so Marron was probably too. Unfortunately, Uub might be as well.

He opened the door and smirked at the scene before him: Bra and Pan were having an in-depth conversation with Uub and Goten and Marron were on the floor with the kids.

Marron looked more incredible than ever; she was smiling for the first time in a long time and she had a long white nightgown on that showed just enough to make Trunks want to see more.

He walked up to her and pulled her to face him. She smiled lightly. I don't understand… I know more now…why?

Trunks kissed her gently, letting his guard down in front of his peers. We completed the bond last night. That's why you've been miserable since I bit you.

Everybody in the room was watching the prince and his mate from the corner of their eyes. Goten smirked before leaning over to Uub. "They completed the bond last night… they're talking to each other right now." He whispered so as to not piss off Trunks.

Uub raised an eyebrow. That was ridiculous; telepathic stuff wasn't real. But still…

Marron wasn't acting like herself; something was up and he had every intention of finding out what it was, even if it put himself and Marron in danger.
