The Shattered Family

Chapter 1: Peace, but then disaster

The cry of Hikari rudely awoke two certain senshi in the middle of their peaceful slumber.

"I'll take care of this." Rei moaned as she got up.

"No it's my turn." Trunks said pulling on his sleep shorts. Rei pulled a robe on and followed her husband to their daughter's room. Hikari was screaming and crying again for the 6th night in a row. Rei and Trunks were unaware of a silhouette in the mirror disappearing when the light was flickered on. Hikari saw her parents and started to yelp and motion towards the mirror on her wall.

"Sweety you don't need changed or anything so what's wrong?" Rei asked while poking her daughter lovingly in the cheek while Hikari rested in her father's arms. Hikari kept moaning and motioning to the mirror.

"Well let's take you to bed with us. If you'll stop crying." Trunks said while heading towards his and Rei's large room. Hikari was laid between her mother and father as they held her in a small family cuddle. She sighed satisfied. Her nightmares kept flashing in her mind but stopped when she fell asleep in the protection of her parents.

In the mirror not far from the large bed Nephrenia's silhouette came into it view. She was watching the family sleep peacefully and then laughed. She was to get her revenge soon.

"Oh yes Rei Hino you and your friend Bulma will pay for my ugly face." Nephrenia said in a whisper while she rested her hand against her severely scarred face and over the scar tissue near the base of her skull where Rei bashed her a few times with her staff.

She hated Rei greatly and would love to kill her but her strength was limited since she had to heal herself after the great deal of injuries she was given because of the senshi of Mars. Soon though, On a night Rei still hated every month she would attack and break the heart of the Martian Queen.

The next morning Rei awoke early and saw that Hikari was clinging to her and Trunks' arms. She smiled at her daughter and was about to get out of bed when Hikari's tail wrapped around her arm. An instant 'You better take me with you' in Hikari's lil' language as she stared at her mother. Rei quietly picked up the baby and let her cling onto her hip. Rei started to make breakfast for herself, Hikari and her sleepy head husband.

After Hikari was brought to bed that night Rei had a bad vision and had a migraine. She would consult the flames later but the chore of making breakfast was at hand. A few cartons of eggs were gone in a matter of seconds.

"Knowing your father he wants quite a few eggs this morning so I made a lot for him." Rei said to Hikari. Hikari knew her father's eating habits.

'He's a piggy.' Hikari said in telepathy.

How fast the child was learning her mother's abilities shocked Trunks, Vegeta, and Goku. When Rei set the table she felt strong-arms wrap around her and looked behind her to see Trunks there with a smile. He took Hikari into his arms and kissed his daughter on the lips. (It's called fatherly love you bakas!!)

"So what are we to do today?" Rei asked while moving some long strands of raven hair from her face.

"First off." Trunks said kissing his wife passionately on the lips.

"We are going to take Hikari out in her stroller to the park. And have my mom and Chi-Chi watch her and we can have time to ourselves." Trunks finished.

"Sounds good to me." Rei said while sitting down and taking Hikari's bottle out of the warmer. Trunks handed Hikari to Rei and watched her feed their child. Rei was perfect for a mother. She was nurturing and loving. She also was a good wife. Faithful, and passionate. Hikari happily suckled on her bottle while hearing her parents making plans for the day.

She couldn't wait to play with her aunt and Goten-chan. She loved to play with energy blasts and combust small piles of leaves. The bottle was gone in a matter of minutes. Rei burped her and changed her into an outfit in which Chi-Chi bought for her.

Trunks looked at Hikari to see how cute she looked in the outfit that Chi-Chi got her. He knew that soon there would be another child.

'Hopefully I have a son. Knowing Rei she'd kill me if I tried to train Hikari.' Trunks thought. Rei came in front of him.

"Oh shit." Trunks muttered. "Why don't you ask about training instead of mope about it. I'd let you train Hikari just start when she's a bit older. She's not even 2 weeks old yet." Rei said sweetly to her mate.

Trunks mentally punched himself. He should of thought about asking for Rei could clearly read his mind. Rei went to change into some clean clothes and with Trunks who was already changed, went to the park to find Chi-Chi and Bulma there with their babies.

"Hey. So I get to watch Hikari again?" Bulma asked. "Of course Bulma." Rei said as Hikari was placed on the ground next to Goten. Goten started to put his arm around his buddy's shoulder and then started to wrestle. Chi-Chi smiled at her youngest son to see how happy he was around Hikari. When Goten first met Hikari he was attached to her side and when it came to coming home he'd cry so loud that the ground around the house started to shake.

Rei and Trunks thanked Bulma and Chi-Chi and then went towards their destination. A nice small restaurant on the edge of West City's seaport. They ate a nice lunch and then headed towards a cathedral, the one where they were married. There was a wedding going on and they watched from the distance.

Not knowing that a woman was watching them from a far. Rei had her arm around Trunks' as they walked through a Cherry Blossom garden in the research department for medical disorders. They never were caught walking through here, which made things more perfect. The petals were falling everywhere. Trunks stopped and brought Rei in front of him.

"You remember when I told you I loved you?" Trunks asked.

"Of course. It was on a day like this. The petals of the Cherry Blossom trees were falling like today. Why what's wrong you thought I would forget such a romantic moment?" Rei asked in a teasing voice. Trunks smirked at Rei and hugged her to him.

"I love you Rei." Trunks said to her huskily while running his fingers through her hair. "I love you Trunks. I never will stop. Even if death crosses my path." Rei said resting a hand against his strong build. The insignias of Earth's royal family and Mars glowed on their foreheads for a moment. For a strange reason Rei was queen already and Trunks was her king and vise versa.

The two just stayed there in peace for a long moment but then they started to walk on so they could pick up Hikari. It was nearly 3 in the afternoon now. It was time for their quality family time now. Bulma checked her watch and saw that it was three.

"Man they're a bit late." Bulma said. Hikari was asleep huddled against Goten and Bra. The three children had tails, which were coiled around each others making them look so cute. Right then Rei and Trunks came.

"So they're napping. I guess we're going to put her to bed when we get home." Rei said while picking Hikari up. (Harushi: Not a smart thing to do Rei.) Hikari opened her eyes and saw her mother but the warmth of her friends was gone and she started to cry.

"Shh. they're alright. See." Rei said showing Hikari that Bra and Goten were fine. Hikari calmed down and allowed her parents to carry her home. This was their time now. Trunks took out a soft pad so the three could play around and have fun. Hikari was being tickled by Trunks as Rei took out a few baby toys that were how could you say Sayian-baby-proof.

Hikari and Rei were playing tag with Trunks and Hikari laughed and squealed with glee when it came to peek-a-boo. Hikari was tiring quickly and started to yawn and fall asleep. Rei and Trunks saw this and noticed it was already 10 at night.

"Well then shall we head to bed?" Trunks asked while Rei was carrying Hikari in her arms.

"Yes. I'm tired too." Rei said yawning. Trunks and Rei went to Hikari's room and put her into her crib.

"Nighty night Hika." Trunks said planting a kiss on his daughter's forehead.

"See you in the morning Ri." Rei said also planting a kiss on her daughter's forehead and forgetting that the window was open. Trunks and Rei went to bed.

It was near one in the morning. The Wind rustled as the 2-week-old baby girl with lavender hair and violet eyes slept in her crib. Rei and Trunks slumbered in the next room as the wind made the curtains rustle.

A shadow appeared and could be seen through the curtains. Hikari moved and sighed lightly as the intruder entered through the window. The intruder felt the baby's smooth cheek and smiled to themself.

"Yes, this is Mars' child. Now I shall have my revenge." The person said and before the intruder knew it two very angry parents were holding their weapon of choice against its neck.

"So, you sensed me after all.... Queen Mars." The intruder said but then blinded the Queen of Mars and King of Mars with the light of an attack. The cry of Hikari was heard as the attack shattered the window and knocked all items that stood on the ground.

After the attack faded Rei and Trunks saw that the intruder was gone... and that their baby was gone as well. Rei ran to the window in a panic. Trunks looked at the overturned crib and saw a small amount of blood on the sheets.

"HIKARI!!!!!" Rei cried when she saw a light of silver shine. Trunks ran to his wife's side and saw the intruder holding their daughter disappear into the night.

"HIKARI!!!!! NO!!!" Rei cried and then collapsed into her husband's arms in tears. Nephrenia had started on her revenge and had kidnapped Rei and Trunks' child.

The cry of Hikari's echoed in the back of the parents' minds. Rei just sobbed in her husband's arms as Trunks had a VERY pissed off look in his eyes.
