Chapter Six
Haruka
let out a sigh while he followed everything Setsuna said about the
future changing in this time due to their appearance.
"The
timeline is changing because of us being here. We need to leave so
nothing happens to this deminsion that isn't suppose to. I'll inform
Serenity that we are returning without the girl due to extreme
measures," said Setsuna. Michiru nodded and looked back at
Haruka.
"It's okay Haruka. I know that you don't like
failing missions but we have to leave. Is there something you would
like to do before you leave?" asked Michiru. Haruka shrugged.
"What is there to do? We obviously can't take the girl or else everything would change too much and you know how Setsuna is with change in a timeline. Our only choice is to pack-up and leave without another word. Just disappear." Michiru agreed and looked at Setsuna as she walked back in with a scowl over her features.
"We
are to stay and bring the girl back with us since Serenity wants to
make sure that our deminsion is safe and the we can fix the problems
in this deminsion. We need to do double the work so we can get out of
here as soon as possible with the girl. Lets get to work."
Michiru followed Setsuna but stopped at the doorway to look at Haruka
whom motioned for her to continue.
"I'll be there in a
minute." He moved to his feet only for there to be a knock at
the door. He walked over and opened it to see the man that had
dropped by when they first arrived, Piccolo. He opened the door and
let him enter. "Setsuna?"
Piccolo nodded and followed Haruka into the lab. Setsuna looked up and nodded at Piccolo who pulled out a picture from his pocket and handed it to her.
"This is the girl. I want you to take her away and never let her come back. It would be the best for this world before anything else happens," said Piccolo. Setsuna looked at it and smiled, knowing she had seen this girl before a very long time again.
"Show me where she is."

Akiko let out sigh as she looked at the ring Bulma made her wear on her left ring finger. It was a diamond cut in a heart shape and intertwined with gold making sure the stone didn't fall out. Goten was lounging on the couch flipping through the channels while Trunks was gone with Vegeta somewhere and Goten assured her it was nothing bad. A smile moved over her lips as she looked up, searching for something. Quickly, she moved outside and looked at the blue sky.
"Akiko?" Goten followed her eyes to see two fireballs enter into the atmosphere and quickly started toward earth. The high power level serged through Goten's senses as he quickly pulled Akiko back inside but he stopped when he felt her pull back. "I'm taking you to Trunks."
"I have to go to them, they need me Goten," she said with pleading eyes. He touched her forehead only for her to remove his hand and look back out the window.
"Who need you?" asked Goten curiously and turned his head when Trunks walked in trailing Vegeta.
"I don't know but I can just feel it Goten," she replied. Vegeta growled when the names were mentioned along with sensing the power level off toward the east. Quickly he stormed over and grabbed her arm.
"How do you know that they're here? I bet you know who that are and you brought them here since I know you're not from Earth! Tell me the truth damn it!" yelled Vegeta. Her eyes seemed to go blank as she looked at him cusiously.
"They know my past," she whispered in a voice that wasn't her. Vegeta kept a grib on her arm as she looked at the two young men.
"I'll meet you there." He then disappeared with Akiko only for Trunks and Goten to follow the example. When they arrived, Goku was already there with Gohan standing by his side. They looked at the two holes in the earth while the smoke billowed into the sky. One capsul opened where a figure exited with an evil laugh. Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan held a stance at the man with light green skin landing on the ground. His golden eyes looked around at the blue sky while he took in a deep breath making the bells lighting ring on his ears.
His
long dark green hair was pulled back in a thick braid ending at his
wist. Akiko winced in pain at the tightening of the grip on her arm
but it didn't stop her from looking. He was tall with broad
shoulders, muscular body adorned with a white saiyon armor top
woutling his abs and pectorlas. Blue speedo bottoms showed the skin
of his legs until it met with thigh high dark blue boots with brown
boot bottoms.
"Zarbon," growled Vegeta clutching
his free fist tightly. The man looked at him from the sound of his
name and grinned. But it quickly disappeared as he looked at Akiko
with wide eyes making him growl.
"Get your hands off my daughter," he yelled suddenly making the viens in his neck look like they were going to pop out. Akiko looked at his golden eyes as something seemed to click.
*~FLASHBACK~*
The girl sat on the shore while she looked down at her reflection in the water. A snapping of twigs made her turn around to see the same man from her last meeting only for a smile to move over her lips making his loins heat-up. He leaned against the tree while she walked toward him with what seemed like a bounce in her step. His hand touched her cheek gently while looking at the glowing face in the moon.
"I thought I would never see a saiyon again," she said softly leaning on the tree in front of him while he smoothed out her hair. He smiled as he seemed to move closer, drawn to her in a sort of way where he took her lips after long awaited time. Once they were his, he never wanted to let them go while he deepened the kiss, pushing her back against the tree. His lips moved down her chin and slender neck until he reached the nape.
"You will be mine, and only mine," he whispered and bit down, feeling her fingers grip his shoulders tightly while the breath left her. He moved back and took her lips once again but then pulled back shortly with a smile.
"I will come for you before the night is through. Wait for me here," he whispered only for her to agree with a smile.
"I will wait as long as you bid me to," she answered only for him to disappeare. She looked into the trees to see Piccolo appear with the leading male from the last clan if land angels. He showed no emotion as he landed next to her. His large black wings disappeared as his glowing red eyes were replaced by bright blue ones. His black hair was a little messed but what mattered now was them becoming mates to save their kind. She moved forward and looked at him with kind eyes only to watch a smile moved over his lips.
He moved in to claim her as his only to grab her roughly and smell her while he fingers moved to the back of her neck, feeling the fresh bite mark. Quickly he pushed her away and glared up at Piccolo, eyes going red.
"She has already been taken by a saiyon! What kind of trick is this? Whom is the pig that dare take her when she was to be mine? Now our entire clans shall perrish since she is the last living female land angel!" Piccolo growled as he looked in the direct of the palace.
"Is there a way to claim her as yours?" asked Piccolo.
"I must kill the one who took her," hissed the man. Piccolo growled.
"That cannot be done for you will be the one killed in a battle again a saiyon, espeically the prince of saiyons," replied Piccolo. The man nodded.
"Then a declaration of war shall be upon all saiyons," he growled. Piccolo nodded as the man let his large black wings grow out as his eyes changed back to red and flew off. He then disapperared with the palace in mind.
*~End~*
Akiko started putting things together in her head and looked toward Trunks with the memory fresh in her head. Then, she realized something else. The man that had cast her down looked exactly like the man she just saw in her vision. He was the one that had cast her to earth and wanted her to be his but something seemed to be stopping them two from being together. Even though she was suppose to be his, Trunks had ruined and destroyed her race of people through lust. Vegeta looked at her with a glare.
"Are you going to answer my question woman or are you deaf?" yelled Vegeta. She turned away from Trunks' gaze and looked at him clueless while she pulled her arm back. Akiko looked back at Trunks only for her hand to move over her lips as she walked toward him. She pulled the ring Bulma gave her off and held it out to him.
"Find yourself someone you want instead of being forced," said Akiko. Vegeta glared at her and walked over.
"You're marrying my son whether you like it or not! Both of you are mates for life!" She looked at Trunks only for him to take the ring she still had extended and then brought back to her side. Vegeta lookde like he was going to explode at the way things happened to fall. "All you are is a disgrace to all saiyons!"
"He has the right to make his own choices since he is an adult of nineteen. It isn't fair if you get to choose your wife and he doesn't because of events that occurred over a thousand years ago. Things in the past should be left alone and forgotten," answered Akiko. Vegeta looked at her with a scowl.
"Over a thousand years ago? What the hell happened a thousand years ago? Speak woman!" Piccolo appeared next to her with a hand on her shoulder.
"Everything will be explained at Bulma's house," replied Piccolo. He turned to Zarbon and nodded in agreement as the next capsul opened. A man flew up with short blonde hair curved around with his bangs over his right eye while his golden eyes looked at everyone. His skin was a medium blue and a bit muscular covered in a saiyon uniform of purple, white gloves, and boots, green armor, and one shoulder covered by a brown protector.
"Celza, my son," announced Zarbon as he floated to the ground next to his father with a smirk over his face.
"What's going on here?" he asked with his french accent. Piccolo looked at Trunks.
"Lead them to your house with Goten and Akiko since she is part of their family." Trunks nodded while Piccolo disappeared along with the other fighters leaving them in an odd situation. Goten looked at Trunks whom was looking back at Akiko to see her uncomfortably shift.
"What made you change your mind?" asked Trunks. Akiko went to speak but was cut off before she even started.
"You don't remember, do you?" asked Zarbon
only for Trunks to ignore him. "It was because of you my
daughter never got to be with her people. As you might know, she is a
land angel, part of a race that doesn't exsist anymore. The reason
they don't exsist is because you stumbled upon her in the forest
where Piccolo was raising her and getting her ready to be married to
the leader of the last clan of male land angels. Her mother died
after her making her the last living female. She was needed to save
the race except you claimed her as your own. The leader of the male
clan brought war on all saiyons and quickly attacked your home.
"He placed a curse on our family that Celza and I would live forever, even in death, until he saw it fit to kill us. As for Akiko, he wanted to keep her alive and apart from us. He cast her up into the clouds surrounding earth where she would watch the people and even your future self only to never be with anyone. Her job was to make sure that no one took over her cloud but when darkness came she would give herself to him. But, as you can see, a mistake was made where she was thrown onto earth and met-up with you once again.
"He will be after you and this time, he will kill you since you have brought her memories back and since you two are now to be together as mates for eternity, whether you are married or not that is the way of both races and acient laws since you don't have to follow the human ways. For neither of you are human."
"I don't want anyone to die," she whispered. Goten nodded as if to understand and looked in the direction of Capsul Corps knowing they were waiting impatiently.
"Vegeta's going to blow if we don't get there soon," said Goten. Trunks motioned for him to leave only for Goten raise a brow. "Want me to take the guys as well?"
Trunks nodded and Goten started to fly. Zarbon and Celza followed him at a quickly speed. She couldn't look him in the eyes anymore and looked at her hands instead feeling the emptiness on her finger where the ring used to rest.
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?" asked Trunks only for her eyes to still not meet his. He waited for a couple minutes to let her get her thoughts only for her to still stay silent. He lifted her chin up so he could see her face where her eyes finally met his. "Akiko..."
"The first time it played in my head yesterday when we were going to the tuxedo shop and it seemed like a story of someone else as if I was watching this happen until I noticed Piccolo. Then just a while ago the rest of it came into the play and I recongized everything going on. He's still alive Trunks he's out to kill you too. If he can, then that means he can take me as his to help save our race or at least start it back up."
"There is no way to make your race start-up again with only two people unless you want to start having half-half or insest starting which isn't right. If I chose you in the past, there must have been something right about you and now that we've met again, I'm not going to let you go since I'll want you when my past memories return."
"What if he comes to kill you?"
"I'll fight. You don't know what I'm capible of since you've never seen a saiyon fight." She nodded as he picked her up with a smile. Trunks took her hand and placed the ring back in the right spot while her hand moved up and touched his cheek gently while she outlined his smile with her fingers gently. Trunks gently took them and placed them against his lips, kissing the tips gently.
This is right. Everything about us being together is right and I can't believe I was going to let him go just because of memories. But the things my memories never gave me was the feelings between those two, well us two. It could have been love at first site but whatever it was, we wanted each other and I'm glad things turned out the way they did.
His fingers ran over the teeth marks only for a smile to spread over his lips once again along with a chuckle.
"I guess it must be true about saiyons having only one mate since this mark did last over a thousand years." Akiko giggled as Piccolo appeared next to them.
"Are you coming or not?" he asked impatiently. Trunks nodded and then disappeared only for Piccolo to follow. Trunks was about to take a seat when Bulma ran into the living room with a glare.
"Trunks, we need to talk." He followed her into the kitchen knowing what she was going to talk to him about since Vegeta obviously told her about what they decided before they changed their minds. "How could you do this to me Trunks? I thought I was going to have my son married so that I could see my grandchildren before I died and now you're going to let her go? She is perfect for you and of course she would make some beautiful grandchild for me."
"Mother, we're getting married even though some complications may come up," said Trunks with a large smile only for Bulma to hig him.
"This is wonderful! The wedding is on for Thursday so you two can have the weekend to yourself for a nice honeymoon! I already know where you two are going and I know you'll have a wonderful time. I've been there during one of my business investments," she grinned while they both walked out. Trunks looked up to see Piccolo standing in the middle of the room with three people near him.
"These three are from another deminsion and have been searching for Akiko since she is the one that will be able to help save them. Chaos is soon to come to their Earth and it would be best if they took her with them," announced Piccolo while his eyes met Trunks'. Bulma look dumbfounded.
"But the wedding is Friday!"
"I'm afraid we cannot wait that long. I have orders from my queen to bring her as soon as we find. We need to see what powers she hold along with see how she can use them to save our home. Who knows how long it's going to take but once the mission is finished, I assure that we will return her to her rightful deminsion," said Setsuna.
"I'll go with you. There is a way that I can help," said Trunks. Setsuna shook her head no.
"I've seen your powers before and they will surely destroy most of our city. We need tamed, yet powerful powers that will only hit the enemy and now destroy the surrounding. If there was a way that you could come, I would bring you but your timeline is blank now that we have been here. It would be best if we left at this moment," she replied. Michiru bent next to Akiko and extended her hand.
"My name is Michiru 'Kou. I will be sure to get you some clothes that fit in with out deminsion along with make you as comfortable as possible," she said with a smile. Akiko shook her hand only to be pulled to her feet as well.
"Akiko Myu." Zarbon growled.
"This is outragous! I just got to see my daughter and yet you're taking her away? Let her stay for a couple days, get married, and then come back! I'm sure that if you've gone this long without her then you can go a couple days longer."
"They don't have much time left," answered Piccolo. "She will come back."
AN: Wow. It took me six hours to write this chapter in one day. That's because I was singing along to my sterio, playing with the dog, watching some football. Rams won!!!! Yea! Thanks for reading and thank you everyone for the reviews. I'll be sure to write more over the week and get this finished since I've been delaying.
