Chapter Two :
FOUR MONTHS LATER...
After four months of recoperating,Sala finally began her training once more. Her weapon was a rusty worn down sword. She still wasn't used to handelling a sword ; After her unborn child died, she gave up her training. They never did find Silver, just another dark red pool of blood. That day haunted her. Nightmares occured periodically. Especially when under stress. An emptiness settled in her heart. Sala never believed in love.
"Sala, are you hungry? I just made your favorite, my famous soup with a side of bread." Doctor Brody spoke cheerfully, breaking her silence. Watching her he smiled and tried to be happy. He couldn't get his mind off of her, not since the first day they met. He knew deep down he was in love with her.
Placing the sword by her side she turned to face the handsome young doctor. His jet black hair covered his eyes. Long legs stretched as he walked over to her side. "No. I think I might train a little longer." Turning back to the contraption in front of her she began to slash her sword even harder. Ripping through the air and cutting anything in her way. Powerful, and strong she thought. I need to be stronger.
Once she felt the man had left she quickly set aside her sword and sat down to eat. The soup felt good when it settled in her stomach, she didn't feel so weak. She hated the thought of being weak. It disturbed her more than anything else. Past memories made her sick, but weakness in herself and others, she hated it. Maybe it was the hunger, or need for rest once in awhile. Sometimes she wished she didn't need food or rest.
Reaching for the bread she cut her arm across the sharp blade. She pulled her arm back at once. Starrign down at the cut, the wound started to dissappear right in front of her eyes. Once the wound closed, there was only a trace of blood. She narrowed her eyes and yelled for Dr.Brody at once.

Raine relaxed, sipping her freashly brewed tea. The door slid open. In walked Jubei. He had a depressed look on his face. Raine got out of her chair and leaned against the counter. Greeting him warmly " Hey Jubei. " Slowly he walked over to her. "Okay. " She spoke flusterd. Prancing toward the table she tried to clean up her mess when she felt something touch her. Turning around, there was Jubei. "Okay, what's with you? Your acting completely strange."He placed his finger on her lips.
"Sh." Cupping her face he pulled her closer to him. Their noses were touching. Leaning in he kissed her. Both closed their eyes. They were in silence, letting go of her he pulled away.
"Oh," Raine burst into laughter before speaking " What was that?"
Jubei seemed shocked at his actions and turned away. Looking down he tried to walk away, however Raine stopped him. "No wait." Grapping him she pulled him around. Moving closer to him she leaned in and kissed him again. Slipping her tongue in his mouth, she blushed not knowing what he would do. They started to kiss more intense now. Jubei moved one hand on her lower back.

x "Hey Masaro all this about us being these chosen people. Well it's kind of making sense. I mean, well I have this great sense for great bargins. And I swear I can read minds!" Lily spoke with more fascination with herself then Masaro was. Lily was sharpening several small daggers. "I mean seriously I don't know why they insist that we learn to use weapons. I mean, if we are chosen, like won't it come as, like instincts?".
Masaro looked up from the staff she had just finished polishing. " Why don't you test it out? I mean if it really is instincts, then there should be no problem. Right?" Masaro spoke with a hint of mocking, she looked sheppishly at her friend.
"Now, I don't think you should make fun of it. I'm serious, I mean do you think what they're still saying is true ? I think it's weird that they call us dragons. I mean they said that there are different species er...types of powers the dragons had right. And that one of them was the powerfulest.Do you think that we could, you know be these desendents of this earth? "
"It seems a little far fetched for me, but hey who cares, I mean I'm just here for the guys. I mean I've noticed a few of them glance my way more then once." She wiggled her eye brows, and forced a cocky grin on her face.
"Oh please, get over yourself. They only stare at you because of your low cut shirts, and your very tight, and very short shorts, and skirts. They probably think that you like, get around." She winked at her friend.
Masaro's face hardened. She turned into a stone, a very violent stone. Grabbing one of the small silver daggers, which Lily had just finished sharpening, and through it at her. The piece of metal zipped through the air and past Lily's angelic face, landing on the wall beside her. Lily dropped the gray rag in her hand, and starred at her friend. Masaro smiled, " You know I think you are right, that felt good." She got up from the hard chair she was sitting on and pranced toward the door. It took her a few seconds to pull it open the thick wooden door.
Lily still in shocked screamed as loud as she could, "It's instincts!"
Masaro laughed aloud as she wlaked out. She didn't see where she where she was going and bumped right into Duo. He was carryinf a pile of dishes, which he threw in the air once he began to fall. Smashing and shattering noises were all that could be heard. Hitting the floor, along with the dishes, they starred in shock at the mess around them.
"Oh shit." Duo spoke first. " Heero is going to kill us."
"No he won't, I'll just say it was an accident, or I'll blame you!" Getting up she help pull Duo to his feet. Turning away from him she trotted away toward the long narrow hall.
"Wait a minute, Masaro, you get back here and help me out!"
"No. Sorry but I have other plans." Turning away she walked down the passage. " I got to go and work on my instincts." She snorted.
Puzzled Duo whispered "Instincts?" He turned back to the mess and shook his head in annoyance, and started cleaning the mess.

There she was again. The mysterious woman, with her face hidden in darkness. She stood infront of him, and besdie her a replica. The other woman's face was hidden as well. She had a long white dress on, delicate pearl white hands held a slim silver sword. A shiny white dress covered her body. The other woman beside her was in black, black material which clung to every curve of the woman's body. Her tight black suit hugged to her muscles which seemed they were about to rip out of there clothing. He could see her eyes. They were pure black, icy and brozen, full of hate and death. He couldn't help but fall deep into there stare. All of a sudden he felt like he was falling, down, down, faster and faster. His heart began racing. Then it happened.
Everything stop and he jumped out of his bed. Dilandau woke with a band of sweat on his body. His heart was racing, his throat, dry, and aching for water. Slowly the weary young man got out of bed and headed for the liquor cabinet. Throwing open the doors open he searched for the hardest alcohol he could find. Giving up, he grabbed some random bottle and poured it down his throat. The liquid burned all the way down. He drank the alcohol until there not even a single drop left. Throwing the glass bottle into the midst of the darkness he sighed.
Barely making it to the bed he fell over onto the satin sheets and fell back into a deep sleep....

x Lilac concentrated on the levitating sword in front of her. She focused her eyes on the slim piece of metal. It shoock fiercly as she lost her concentration. Distant memories she had thought she forgotten popped into her mind so suddenly. Her heart ached once again, she had hoped the pain would end soon. If the anguish didn't stop, she would stop it herself...
Childrens crying. She could hear it in the distance. Suddenly her younger brother's face appeared in front of her. Lilac couldn't hear him talking, instead she only heard sobbing. Looking below her, there sat River crying. He had a scrap on his knee. She tried to bend down to help him. As she touched his bleeding knees she noticed somethign on his head. There was a large bullet hole in his head. He faced her, tears puoring down his cheeks. "Why, sister, why'd you let him kill me?" She looked down to see a gun in her hand. Dropping it she fell to the floor.
Opening her eyes she felt tears spring to her eyes. Jumping up, she went running as fast as she could without stopping. She ran as fast as she could the the lake. It was the only place she could seek solitutde, the only place she could be alone. Her heart ached, she felt sick.

Faint footsteps could be heard outside the door. The knob began to jiggle. Jubei noticed it first and jumped off of the floor. Raine looked at the door. Jumping up as fast as she could, she straightened out herself in a hurry. The door opened, there stood Vegita. He looked at the two and grunted. Walking calmy over to the sink, he pulled a glass out of the tiny cupboard, and poured himself some water. Then drinking it he walked out of the room. Peeking his head around the corner he spoke evily " By the way Jubei your zipper is still down." Closing the door behind him, leaving both Raine and Jubie in complete silence. They could hear as he laughed aloud. Jubie calmly did up his zipper and left. Raine covered her mouth and tried not to laugh. Her cheeks flushed a bright red. She continued to wonder about Jubie's true intentions, as he walked out of the room.
Her head ached with tension. Giggling to herself she tried to follow Vegita. Once she was out the door, she straightened her skirt and went to Vegita's room. Her cheeks had stopped turning a deep pink, and her face wasn't as hot. She hoped he was training, that way maybe he would give her a challenge. Maybe she could use up the last of her energy. Knocking softly she opened the door. " Hello? Anyone here?" When she got no answer she peeked her head in and looked around.
The room was dark. There was candles lit everywhere. A scent hit her nose and relaxed her soul. A shadow sat in the middle of the room. The figure didn't seem to have Vegitas body structure so she tried to call out. "Vegita?"
The figure stood and opened their eyes. Their eyes were crystal blue, and they seemed to look into her soul, and mind. She couldn't look away. There she stood paralyzed, and mezmorized. The man was shorter then her, yet he had large spiky blonde hair. He sure did have Vegita's features, she thought suddenly. Suddenly the man grew impatient, like Vegita would and spoke in a familiar voice.
"What do you want know, little one? Can't you see I have more important things I'm doing?"
"Who, who are you?"
"Fool. who do you think I am? I'm in my super saiygn form. Idiot. " He spat the words at her.
"Super saiygn?"
"What do you want?" He demanded.
" I just wanted to see, if you wanted a challenge?" She stuttered. "But I can see you are really busy, so I, I'm just going to go now."
The unfamilar man glared at her for disturbing his thoughts. He turned around and sat down on the hard floor beneathe him. Raine not knowing what to do next, retraced her steps and left the room. Super Saiygn she thought. Little one? Flustered she headed for her room.
The place they were staying now was more exotic. There were plants and trees of every sort which hid them from the ouside world. Smells and scents of wild flowers and fruits filled the place. The wooden frame of the small building, omly hiding the true wall beneathe it. A solid wall of rock. On the inside of the house, white walls, wood floors and in some cases a worn out brown rug. There were only two floors. A basement where they trained occasionally. The main floor was where they ate and slept.
Raine walked to her room and walked in. She had trained all night until she got so tired she fell to the floor, and lay fast asleep. She had barely slept, when Jubei woke her this morning to train. The scent of rain greeted her as she awoke.
Walking into her room she clumsily waddled to her bed. Her head began to throb even more extreme now. She couldn't think straight. The world around her started to twist and swirl around her. Falling to the floor, missing her bed she blacked out. The darkness swallowed her.

He starred at the tiny house hidden in tress and shrubs. He knew what he had to do, but he didn't know where he could find her. The young man who had told him where he could find her was right. Now all he had to do was to find her. Raine. He liked the sound of her. If he could only get the nerve to barge in right now and kidnapp her.
Yamcha stood there in the pouring rain. The droplets of water froze him in place. The wind was cruel, when it blew against his numb skin. Goose bumps rose all along the sides of his muscular arms. His short hair provided less comfort for him. He stood there on a branch of a large tree, soaked, and shivering like crazy. Still he didn't flench, nor did her take his eyes off of her room.
Finally he got the courage to take a step up the branch broke. He fell onto the soft muddy ground. Covering himself from depris he got up and ran for cover in case she heard the comotion. Finding a small bush he curled up into a ball and rubbed his aching butt. "That's going to be a bruise in the morning."
A light flicked on in one of the rooms. Shadows slid passed the windows swiftly. Getting the courage Yamcha got up and ran quietly todars the back. Silently he creeped up to her window.

Once Lilac reached the water hole, she tripped on a large gray stone. Hitting her head on the ground she fell into blackness instantly. Her body lay there on the cold dirty ground. The ground was on a slant, and her body slowly rolled into the refreashing cool water. It paralyzed her. She could breath, and she couldn't open her eyes.
"River." She thought as she sunk deeper and deeper.
Chapter Two :
FOUR MONTHS LATER...
After four months of recoperating,Sala finally began her training once more. Her weapon was a rusty worn down sword. She still wasn't used to handelling a sword ; After her unborn child died, she gave up her training. They never did find Silver, just another dark red pool of blood. That day haunted her. Nightmares occured periodically. Especially when under stress. An emptiness settled in her heart. Sala never believed in love.
"Sala, are you hungry? I just made your favorite, my famous soup with a side of bread." Doctor Brody spoke cheerfully, breaking her silence. Watching her he smiled and tried to be happy. He couldn't get his mind off of her, not since the first day they met. He knew deep down he was in love with her.
Placing the sword by her side she turned to face the handsome young doctor. His jet black hair covered his eyes. Long legs stretched as he walked over to her side. "No. I think I might train a little longer." Turning back to the contraption in front of her she began to slash her sword even harder. Ripping through the air and cutting anything in her way. Powerful, and strong she thought. I need to be stronger.
Once she felt the man had left she quickly set aside her sword and sat down to eat. The soup felt good when it settled in her stomach, she didn't feel so weak. She hated the thought of being weak. It disturbed her more than anything else. Past memories made her sick, but weakness in herself and others, she hated it. Maybe it was the hunger, or need for rest once in awhile. Sometimes she wished she didn't need food or rest.
Reaching for the bread she cut her arm across the sharp blade. She pulled her arm back at once. Starrign down at the cut, the wound started to dissappear right in front of her eyes. Once the wound closed, there was only a trace of blood. She narrowed her eyes and yelled for Dr.Brody at once.

Turning around, there was Jubei. "Okay, what's with you? Your acting completely strange."He placed his finger on her lips.
"Sh." Cupping her face he pulled her closer to him. Their noses were touching. Leaning in he kissed her. Both closed their eyes. They were in silence, letting go of her he pulled away.
"Oh," Raine burst into laughter before speaking " What was that?"
Jubei seemed shocked at his actions and turned away. Looking down he tried to walk away, however Raine stopped him. "No wait." Grapping him she pulled him around. Moving closer to him she leaned in and kissed him again. Slipping her tongue in his mouth, she blushed not knowing what he would do. They started to kiss more intense now. Jubei moved one hand on her lower back.

Smashing and shattering noises were all that could be heard. Hitting the floor, along with the dishes, they starred in shock at the mess around them.

"No he won't, I'll just say it was an accident, or I'll blame you!" Getting up she help pull Duo to his feet. Turning away from him she trotted away toward the long narrow hall.

She continued to wonder about Jubie's true intentions, as he walked out of the room.
