To the story!!!!!!!!!!!
Somewhere deep in the jungles of the rainforest…
A young man knelt before a figure seated on the throne. The figure stared down at him her silver eyes appearing as though they were staring into his very soul and her long silver hair flowed down her back and reached the floor. The young man raised his eyes and they rested admiringly on the figure's cherub face.
"Everything is almost ready my lady," the man said to her obediently.
The figure merely nodded then left the throne to wander out onto the balcony without saying a word to the man. Sensing that he was dismissed the young man left the room but not without throwing a glance back at the figure before leaving. The figure turned to stare up at the moon, a snake coiling its serpent body around her waist but she barely reacted to it.
"Soon, very soon," she whispered to herself.
Outside the throne room the young man was greeted by a young lady who affectionately took his hand and pressed her sensual lips to the palm. It was obvious they were brother and sister for they shared the same fiery red hair and emerald green eyes, but the way the sister acted towards the brother was something a little more than sisterly.
"Is The Silver Child happy?" the girl asked the man huskily walking a line down his cheek with her fingertips and the young man ignored her, brushing her hand from him like he was batting away an annoying fly.
"I think so, Anya, it is hard to tell with her," the man replied turning his emerald green eyes on his sister and she slinked her arms up around his neck and pulled his head close to hers.
"We don't need her Kroyan, we can take over the world on our own, together," Anya tried to entice her brother in her fantasy, her hot breath on his lips but Kroyan pulled his sisters arms from around his neck.
"No Anya, the Silver Child has brought us everything, more power than we could ever have imagined, and she will bring us peace," Kroyan assured his sister but Anya refused to give up.
"What do we need peace for, we have each other, we were meant to be together," Anya drawled seductively stepping closer to Kroyan who immediately pushed her away from him grimacing.
"Not the way you want Anya," Kroyan told her turning away from his sister and walking away. It wasn't really her fault she was the way she was. They had grown up alone together, with no one to turn to but each other. Their planet had been destroyed and after the attack the only survivors had been Kroyan and Anya. For years it had only been the two of them together, he was the only man Anya had known and she the only woman Kroyan had ever known. But the Silver Child had found them and gave them more power than they could have imagined. Kroyan had moved on, he had discovered other people, other women apart from his sister but Anya – Anya would not give him up.
"You are mine brother, you always have been and you always will be," Anya said watching as her brother walked away from him and she threw a look of triumph at the throne room door before sauntering off in the direction of her brother.
Minako, Goten, Rei and Trunks were wandering down the street the two couples holding hands with their other halves happily talking and chattering about Ami, and Makoto whom both Rei and Minako could not wait to introduce to Goten and Trunks when they spotted Chichi and Goku window shopping some of the clothes in a shop window. Goten narrowed his eyes at his father and seeing his gaze Rei laughed understanding. Minako looked a little confused while Trunks laughed as well.
"What's wrong with him?" Minako asked Rei curiously and Rei stopped laughing and put on a solemn face.
"He is angry at my dad for not defending him against Vegeta," Rei informed Minako who folded her arms across her chest. Sure her father wasn't the best father around but he was her father and she hated to see anyone making fun of him. She caught Trunks' eye and he immediately stopped laughing under her warning gaze and Rei did the same but Goten was already stalking up to his father.
"Oh father dearest, how come you didn't help me out going against Vegeta," Goten asked his father with forced politeness placing a sarcastic smile on his face an Goku turned around to face his son with an innocent face.
"It was time you stood up and became a man," Goku said to his son proudly and Goten nearly screamed his face turning red from the amount of rage inside him.
"That's it? You wanted me to be a man? I thought he was gonna kill me!" Goten finally exploded at his father who remained smiling innocently as Minako came up to take Goten hand to calm him down while Chichi tried to hide her smile behind her hand but Rei and Trunks saw her and couldn't help but start laughing.
"Minako wouldn't allow it would you Minako?" Goku asked his future daughter-in-law who smiled winningly at him.
"Definitely, although it would have been funny…" Minako said cheekily teasing her fiancée and Goten took a deep breath.
"Minako!" he said offended that even Minako thought it was funny and he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Sorry I couldn't resist teasing you," Minako said throwing her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek lovingly. Goku chose that moment to sneak away to follow after Chichi who had wandered further on down the street when he felt someone smack him over the head; hard; causing him to cry out holding his very sore head.
"Ouch! That was uncalled for!" Goku cried out turning face his son his bottom lip trembling pathetically and Rei and Trunks were set off laughing again.
"Maybe, but then maybe not," Goten said smugly folding his arms across his chest and Goku poked his tongue out at his son who had suddenly grown up so fast.
"I'm telling Chichi on you," Goku finally said running off towards Chichi's back.
"I'm shaking in my boots," Goten called to his father bravely while inside he was really shaking. The last thing he wanted was the face the wrath of Chichi.
"You will be," Goku called back smiling wickedly as he started talking to Chichi looking very forlorn and Goten and Minako shared a glance with Rei and Trunks.
"5…4…3…2…1…" Rei counted down softly and then they heard it.
"Goten!" Chichi yelled turning around fury written all over her face and the four teenagers all looked at each other.
"Run!" Goten cried out and Minako and Goten took each other's hands and started running down the street laughing.
Meanwhile Rei and Trunks continued walking slowly some few metres behind Goku and Chichi, Trunks had his arm wound around Rei's shoulders and Rei had encircled her arm around his waist. They didn't noticed Goku and Chichi turning around to look at them every few moments to check on them as the two teenagers were too wrapped up in talking to each other to notice nosy parents.
"Darling, I don't mean to be pushy but why aren't you announcing our engagement?" Rei asked suddenly stopping and Trunks blanched and looked anywhere but at Rei because he didn't want to see how upset (and angry) she was with him.
"Well actually…you see…it's like this…" Trunks stumbled over his excuse and Rei took a deep breath her anger slowly rising to the surface.
"You haven't asked my dad yet have you?" she asked in a furious voice and Trunks dared to peek at his secret fiancée and he saw her ears turning red. He used to think it was cute when her ears went red when she was fighting with Vegeta but when Trunks was the one causing the red ears he didn't think it was so cute anymore. It was downright frightening.
"No," he squeaked and Rei's eyes widened. She understood Goten's reluctance to ask Vegeta for Minako's hand but she couldn't understand why Trunks would not ask her father.
"Why on Earth not?" Rei demanded trying hard to keep her temper and Trunks winced.
"Because…well…I don't want to face the chance of him saying no," Trunks whined to Rei who poked him hard in the chest.
"I'll give you no! You will march up to him right this instant and ask my dad if you can marry me," Rei told him as Minako and Goten finally returned each carrying an ice cream and ready for entertainment. They watched the couple amused at their antics.
"But Rei," Trunks tried once again to get out of it but Rei was adamant that she wouldn't give in to the puppy dog face Trunks pulled on her.
"Now! March!" she told him pointing a finger in the direction of her parents and drooping his shoulders Trunks gave in.
"Yes ma'am," he said as he slunk towards Goku and Chichi, nervous and very shy. Behind him he heard Goten make the sound of a whip cracking and then his scornful laughter.
"Woman-whipped!" Goten cried out loudly laughing at his own joke but all he was greeted with was matching glares from his sister and fiancée and a rude finger from Trunks.
"Shut up you," Minako commanded and Goten shrunk under her gaze.
"Yes ma'am," he mumbled embarrassed and Minako and Rei gave each other a high five.
"Yeah for being a woman!" Rei cried out happily and Minako yelped her agreement while Goten stood there mumbling about women taking over the entire world.
Trunks was walking slowly towards Goku and Chichi.
"Mr Sons, I would like too…No that's too formal," Trunks practiced then shook his head discarding that approach to the situation and he thought for a few moments then tried another.
"Hey Goku, can I marry your daughter…nope too informal," Trunks said smacking himself on the head and looking down at the ground. He had fought many enemies but this was possibly the hardest thing he had ever had to face.
Then before he knew it Trunks was bumped backwards onto the ground and Goku fell down opposite him.
"Sorry for walking into you," Trunks apologised immediately and Goku laughed good-naturedly as he stood up and helped Trunks to his feet. Trunks opened his mouth ready to ask when Goku covered his mouth quickly.
"The answer is yes, you are welcome to her," Goku said to Trunks removing his hand and Trunks stared at Goku opened mouthed for the longest time and giving Trunks a pat on the back Goku caught up with Chichi and wrapped an arm around her waist possessively.
"What? How did he…Damn, oh well, I guess he isn't as blind as we thought," Trunks said more to himself than to Rei as she came up to stand beside him with Minako and Goten in tow.
"You silly boy, that's why I love you," Rei said ruffling his hair affectionately and Minako giggled. Trunks suddenly widened his eyes and looked really embarrassed.
"He already knew didn't he?" Trunks asked in a defeated voice and Rei grinned at him.
"Yup, I told mom this morning and she told dad, you should know nothing is secret between my family," Rei announced happily and Trunks shook his head smiling.
"Yeah I should of," he agreed accepting Goten's sympathetic pat on the back and then Trunks leaned towards Rei who fluttered her eyelashes at him as he added, "and you should know what I'm about to do now then."
"Mmmm…I can guess," Rei said tilting her head to receive the kiss she expected from her fiancée.
"Tag!" Trunks cried out slapping her on the shoulder and running off down the street then he flew up into the air. Minako and Goten caught onto the game and were off following Trunks into the wide blue sky.
"Bad luck old girl," Goten called back to his sister with a wink and Rei fumed flying up into the air after her best friends.
"You are dead!" she screamed mainly at Trunks who was staying that few seconds ahead of Rei.
"Only if you can catch him!" Minako reminded Rei from somewhere behind her and Rei growled in Minako's direction and Minako giggled again.
"No hiding your ki either," Rei declared grumpily and from somewhere above her she heard someone chuckle.
"Aww…sooky," her brother teased her and Rei grinned to herself sneakily then started an incredibly fast whirlwind with her arms splayed out and she moved herself upwards and before Goten could react she slapped him four times with her two hands.
"Tag, tag, tag, tag!" Rei said laughing and Goten howled in pain. Rei left him still howling and closed her eyes to feel trunks ki. Somewhere below her she heard a loud slap and Minako scream at Goten for tagging her so hard and Goten apologising profusely. Rei finally felt Trunks behind her and she stopped in the air to turn and behind her stood Trunks who was smiling. He leaned over to give her the long awaited kiss and Rei accepted it hungrily.
"Oww…I think I have a bruise now," Goten complained flying up beside the two kissing and Minako joined him concerned for her boy but also rubbing her sore arm.
"Thanks for the punch," Minako said to Goten sarcastically ignoring Rei and Trunks who were still kissing.
"I'm sorry I only mean to tap you," Goten apologised again and Minako kissed him quickly on the cheek then turned to her friend and brother and made a gagging sound at the sight of them still locked in the kiss.
"Ugh, get a room guys, seriously," Minako said rolling her eyes and Rei broke the kiss and gave her a death look that Minako took happily. Trunks blushed a little embarrassed then took Rei's hand.
"Let's get back to Earth then," Trunks suggested and after little debate the four sunk back down to Earth where they thought nobody was watching them. Rei and Minako brushed themselves off then turned to face two girls whom they had not seen for a year.
"Rei…" Ami breathed in disbelief staring at her friend.
"Minako…" Makoto whispered doubtfully staring at Minako and Rei as though they were a dream.
"Ami…" Rei gasped her voice filling with pleasure at the sight of her two friends.
"Makoto…" Minako said a little loudly her eyes widening happily.
The four senshi stared at each other for the longest time taking in the differences. Ami had grown her hair a little longer, down to her shoulders like Hotaru's had been while Makoto's hair had grown to where Rei and Minako's used to be. The senshi then all raced into one bear hug all talking happily at the same time, each trying to tell a year's worth of gossip in one breath.
"Sweet, a reunion," Goten said sarcastically not at all minding that Minako was engulfed in the arms of three other women. In fact he was quite enjoying it, and even though he strove to hide it, Trunks was also liking it.
"Shut up," Minako mumbled at him and Goten looked like she had just hit him over the head with Chichi's frying pan.
"Yes ma'am," he said pouting and folding his arms under his chest looking down at the ground. When he looked up the four girls were no longer hugging they were holding hands and had tears steaming down their faces. Confused he looked at Trunks who looked as confused as he was and Trunks shrugged his shoulders.
"Did I miss something?" Goten asked looking from each crying girl to the next
"They're women, don't try to understand them," Trunks advised and after a few moments a red shoe hit his head and an orange shoe hit Goten causing them to cry out in surprise.
"Shut up!" Minako and Rei yelled at them sobbing, trying to be angry but only succeeding in crying harder.
"Yes ma'am's" Goten and Trunks gave in, knowing that they could never win, sitting on the ground obediently crossing their legs and the four senshi stared at them before bursting into laughter despite the tears of joy at being reunited on their faces. They were finally together once more.
