I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.
This is a re-written version of the original version I wrote in the summer of 2002, it sucked royal ass, so I'm re-writing it! Enjoy!

GT-Trunks laid the girl onto the couch carefully. She was still out of it. Trunks was still confused about when he touched her, he was slightly zapped. He figured he might have been charged by his clothing, but he doubted it. There was something about this girl, that seemed oddly familiar. He knew that he'd never met anyone in his entire life who looked like her, but the sensation didn't change.
He plucked a blanket up from the back of the couch and laid it over her body. After watching her breath in and out slowly, Trunks finally turned and went out of the house, heading back for the field.
*********************
Chichiri placed his hand over her forehead, checking for fever. There was none, so he shrugged and went off to the kitchen to get some food.
"Ohayoo Gozaimasu." The monk said cheerfully while entering the kitchen. Chiriko, Mirai and Tasuki sat peacefully, eating a variety of food. Always the early birds, but Chichiri was guessing Tasuki just felt like being up early.
"Y'know, we still got lots a Fireworks left. How 'bout we use them t'day?"
"No thanks." Chichiri said strictly, taking a seat. "Today is a day of rest. I think all of us would agree, no da."
Chiriko and Mirai nodded. Tasuki began to grumble under his breath.
"Yeah... well you can 'no da' this."
"Tasuki-kun, you keep that finger where it belongs and you won't have a staff embedded in your cranium." Chichiri said, a frown on his face. His frown slipped into a sly grin as he continued. "No-da"
Tasuki growled before forcefully pushing another spoonful of cereal into his mouth. Keeren walked into the room, decked out in her black Saiya-jin armor, GT-Trunks trailing behind. Keeren stretched her arms over her head as she snatched a piece of toast from Mirai's plate.
"Ja ne everyone! We're going out to train!" Keeren waved, stepping out of the kitchen, shoving the bread into her mouth. Trunks waved as well, making sure to ignore the glare Mirai was giving Keeren.
*********************
Teri rolled to the side, her arm reaching out for her companion. When finding him not there, she opened her eyes. She was alone in the bed. That wasn't all too odd, the elven prince usually always awakened before her. Besides, Teri had stayed up late with her sister sharing Screwdrivers and Jello Shots.
The Saiya-elf sat up with ease, happy for once she didn't have a hangover, unlike some of the nights she had in college. Few bits of sunlight filtered in through her window, as was today a cloudy day. She sat in the bed for long moments, the sheets tied up around her legs. Her mind began to go back to the events of the night before.
Such a weird girl, walking around in such a garb. Then again, Teri'd done the same a few times herself. What amazed her completely was the shockingly blue hair. She could just tell it wasn't dyed, from how fine and silky it looked. From the countless times Melissa had died her hair as a teen reminded her that dyed hair was thick and full.
Breathing deep, Teri felt a sudden rush of adrenaline as she realized how early in the day was. Plenty of time to spend with Legolas and to do her daily reading. Cheerfully, she hopped out of bed.
*********************
"HAA!" Keeren shouted, throwing a fist at GT's face. She wasn't surprised he had sidestepped it, but every bit counted! Trunks upper-cut the woman with such ease he barely made a strain. Keeren stopped herself before she hit a tree behind her and glared at her lover.
"Why aren't you giving me your all??" She inquired, half pouting.
"Because if I do, I'd kill you until you died from it!" Trunks laughed. Keeren rolled her eyes at the Saiya-jin's horrible humor. After shrugging, she started the spar up once again.
*********************
Legolas stood in front of the short book case with a scowl. Such thin books. He lifted one from the shelf and flipped through the pages. No less that 600 to each. He scoffed and nearly tossed it back. Not a one was long enough for him to enjoy fully. Back in Middle Earth he'd read books of 2000 pages or more, in elvish no doubt. Then again, that was his heritage language. Twas a cinch to read for him.
The elven prince sighed, turning from the book case. He supposed he could just use the remote Teri had given him and pick up some reading material from home, but it seemed impolite to just leave without notice this early in the day.
"Having a conflict?" A young voice asked.
Legolas turned and faced the young Chiriko, no more than sixteen years of age. Legolas thanked the many gods he wasn't at that age anymore. He got in more trouble than his younger brother did. But when he looked at Chiriko, he saw that the boy was at the peak of his life, so young and yet so mature.
"Just a little" The prince replied. Chiriko smiled at his prediction.
"If you're looking for a good read, I have plenty of books that might interest you. I have subjects in a wide range and in more than three languages." Chiriko bragged unknowingly.
Legolas smiled and nodded. Chiriko beamed back and began to lead him to his own library of his bedroom.
Just then, the girl stirred. Legolas stopped and watched her, she sat up.
"She's awakening." Chiriko said. The girl raised a hand to her head and she mumbled something under her breath, so diverse, even Legolas couldn't understand.
"Are you all right?" Legolas inquired, kneeling before the girl. She looked up and grinned at him. Her eyes were shockingly pale blue.
"I'm fine." She said, a clack in her voice that sounded like a sharp giggle.
*********************
"Oh? She's awakened na no da." Chichiri observed, leaning back in his seat from the kitchen so he could peer out the walkway. Melissa got up and looked over the monk to see. Chichiri was smiling, but when something singed his chi, it formed into a frown.
"That girl... a familiar presence is about." He said strongly, standing up. "And it is one I hoped never to feel again." His hand unconsciously ran over his stomach where he had been impaled only a few months before.
He stepped out into the next room, keeping his eye on the girl the entire time. The girl looked up when he walked in and a thin grin slid across her lips.
*********************
"Maybe next time I won't make you use your all" Keeren laughed half-hearted as she leaned against GT-Trunks's shoulder. Never again would she try to provoke a Super Saiya-jin. Trunks smiled and laughed as he walked towards the house, Keeren's arm slung across his shoulders. Keeren suddenly became tense.
"What is it?" Trunks asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Do you feel that?"
"Feel what?" Trunks sent out his senses, searching for the mystery. When he found the presence of the evil one, he frowned.
"Him" He said, looking towards the house. Keeren pulled herself off Trunks and started going quickly towards the house.
"Yes, him. Lets go.
*********************
The girl stood, her grin widening as Keeren and GT-Trunks came into the room. All eyes were on her. Everybody was here, all except for one. She was on her way.
"Well, it seems that at least most of you are here." She oversaw the group and giggled sharply.
"Who are you?" Mirai growled, sensing the evil presence.
"At least some of you may be smart enough to realize this." The girl said. "I used to be Ryuu-Omoi. The one who killed you, you and almost you." She said, pointing her finger at Chichiri, Keeren and Trunks.
"But... Teri killed you." Legolas said.
"Yes, she did, but while in hell... as you people put it. I had a choice. I could return through the means of possession."
"So you possessed a poor girl and you seek revenge?" Missy asked.
"Yes, through the one I first effected or the second. I chose the second because he was stronger." She grinned towards GT-Trunks. "Since his body wasn't all the fit for what I wanted to do, I chose this girl, who he touched the very night I entered him.
"And now, I don't like the name Ryuu-Omoi, being I don't have the skill to kill one's mind anymore. So I think I'll just take the name of Ryu-Oki then." Ryu-Oki laughed, a clear green aura surrounding her has she lifted herself from the floor. Just then, Teri rushed into the room, and stopped short when the ki of Ryu-Oki was indistinguishable from Ryuu-Omoi's.
"Ah Teri, there you are." Ryu said with a laugh. "I believe I haven't said my thanks for killing me last May." Her grin went to a frown quickly as she pushed her hand forward and Teri was suddenly shot backwards down the hallway.
"Teri!" Legolas shouted to her. Teri, having NO clue on just what happened, raised a thumbs up to him.
"Oh, does the poor prince-y worry about Teri." Ryu said in a childish voice towards Legolas. She used what was left of her previous powers of mind reading to enter the mind of the elf's. She raised an eyebrow with a laugh. "My my my! Does the prince like Teri a little bit too much?"
Legolas turned sharply towards Ryu, a faint blush on his face.
"But do you know if she returns the feelings?" She asked. Legolas's face softened ever so slightly, already unsure on whether Teri loved him the same way he did to her.
"Lets just see." She turned to Teri, who was walking back to the room, disgruntled on her sudden attack. Yet, still unaware on what Ryu had read from Legolas's mind.
"Hmmm... so she does."
Legolas turned to Teri, who was looking around the room for any help on what the hell was going on. The elven prince didn't know whether to trust the sadistic woman or not.
"Well, I wonder if it will hurt if I do this." She glared at Legolas, her hand coming forward at him. Legolas prepared to impede an attack, but when none came, he was confused. Until his vision went blurry and everything went dark.
Teri gasped when Legolas fell to the floor. She went quickly to his side but was once again shot away from him by another invisible blast. Her sister and two friends quickly rushed to her.
"He's not dead." Ryu said simply, glaring at Teri. "Just merely a toy of my own."
Legolas suddenly rose, his eyes a pale blue compared to his normal navy blue. He went to Ryu's side, almost like a robot. Teri began to speak but was interrupted.
"If you want him back, come and find me. I'll be somewhere where it's cold and bright 75% of the year." With that, the two disappeared.
Teri stepped forward, her mouth slight ajar. She went up to the couch, to where Ryu was standing just moments before, unaware of the eyes on her from behind. She suddenly growled deep in her throat as she kicked at the couch. The couch slid on the carpeted floor a few inches. There were tense moments of silence, as everyone watched Teri from behind.
"Someone.... please.... tell me what just happened..." Teri said, her voice quiet, as to hide the stutter in her voice.
Melissa looked to Renee and Keeren before walking forward to her sister. She set her calm hands on her sibling's shoulders before whispering quietly to her. When Melissa came to the part where Ryu had read both Teri and Legolas's minds to see the feelings they had for each other, Teri looked at her sister astonished. She had no idea that Legolas liked her back. A tear slid unhindered down her cheek.
When Melissa was finished, Teri stood silent, her eyes on the floor. Her fists in tight balls and her teeth were clenched so hard she was trembling. Melissa motioned to the others to leave, to give the Saiya-elf a little bit of privacy. Everyone left, except for Keeren and Renee.
Teri let out a breath through her teeth as she sat onto the couch. Melissa sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Renee and Keeren lingered next to and behind the couch.
Teri looked up from the floor to see Chichiri remaining in the doorway of the room. His mask was off and he watched Teri with cool mahogany eyes. After a moment, he bowed his head and left.
