If You're Not There

Author's note: I'm changing the ages of the characters... Thinking about it a bit I decided that writing stuff about 14 year-olds to be sexually promiscuous would only support the growing sexual activity in the younger half of teenagers... I decided that it was stupid for 14 year olds to be sexually enticing in my story, so I'm making them all older... 16 for the girlies and 17 for the guys. Why that age? Not that I want to be judgmental or anything like that, but surveys have stated that those are the ages most common for teens to loose their innocence... I'm not saying that it's right or anything it's just more fitting to the storyline.

Dear Beloved Prince, Hope you can get over your enraged self soon and accept this note as a rain check for our sparring match. I was needed elsewhere and therefore was unable to attend our much-anticipated rumble. I've taken Marron with me, not as a hostage but as an escort, so that you can see that I do plan on coming back to return her to Goten. -Wink, wink- Be a good little Prince and stay home with your future Queen candidates. -Tenoko Habuki



The prince sighed as he read the letter, irritated to the point where he lost his appetite for food and simply stood, ignoring his stomach's loud protest as he walked into the lower deck where his room was located. He just plopped down on his overly large plush bed, a sudden wave of sleep overcoming him as he thought in response to the red head's letter.
'Damn you Tenoko, you're the first thing on my mind and the last as well.' was the last thing he thought before he let sleep claim him as her temporary captive.

"Auto pilot on, just take us to mom Ten-o-oki." Tenoko said as she yawned out loud, tired from the lack of sleep since she had been piloting Ten-o-oki since about after mid night. Marron had long ago gone down stairs to the living quarters to get some sleep, and right about now it appealed to Tenoko to join her, so that's exactly what she did.
Pulling off her clothing and putting on a panty and sleeping spaghetti shirt set that was adorned with tons of strawberries, she got under the covers beside her new found friend and slowly fell asleep, hopping that she wouldn't have another nightmare.

"How weird." Goten said to himself right after Trunks had quite suddenly decided to go to his room in the under quarters of the spacecraft instead of eating. Usually it was impossible to tear a hungry Saiyijin away from a meal; whatever Tenoko had written must have upset the lavender haired prince to the point where he simply wished to sleep his problem away-- or something like that.
"Well I did wake him up early, maybe he didn't sleep well or something..." Goten said, continuing to talk to himself as he mused upon the Prince's strange behavior as he put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, putting away the bothered prince's portion of the food in the fridge so that he could eat it when he woke up.
'I guess it wouldn't hurt if I caught up on some z's too... it's been a while since I've over slept...' Goten thought as he hummed Vegeta-sei's national anthem, unbeknownst to him that at that very moment a particular blond was dreaming of him.

((I won't get too detailed with the dreams here... trust me, I could go all out but then I'd have to make the rating higher than 'R'. And I don't
want to do that...))

"Mmmmmm... It feels so good, doesn't it Tenoko?" Marron asked, moaning as the hot mineral water of the natural hot spring they were in gently caressed her naked body, the vaporous steam making Tenoko's rather distanced form foggy to her line of sight.
"Tenoko?" Marron asked when she didn't hear anything from the girl, whose form was nothing but a dark silhouette that was a consequence of the dim candle lighting as well as the vapor from the near boiling hot spring. Curious as to why Tenoko wasn't speaking to her she walked over to her, the water being deep enough to cover her from the waist down when she stood.

"Ahh..." the sound was defiantly not feminine enough to be Tenoko's voice that's for sure. Marron got closer to the figure, ripples in the water growing into little waves as she neared the person. Bringing her hand to her mouth to keep herself from making any noise of surprise, she was shocked and paralyzed at what she saw.
Kami must have been in a real good mood today to grace her with the sight of the object of her obsession indulging himself in self-induced pleasure. His eyes were closed tightly and his face was beautifully contorted in concentration and arousal as he stroked himself, little sounds coming from him with every down stroke given.
Marron's breath hitched in her throat, becoming much more rapid and labored as she silently watched. A bright blush tinted her cheeks as her thoughts wondered to what was covered underneath the water's line, the curiosity as to what males looked like almost making her want to surprise him enough for him to jump up so that she could steal a glimpse.
Growling deeply Goten speeded up the pace of right hand, his unoccupied hand making little circles around his nipple before pinching it and rolling it with his thumb and pointer finger, making him gasp and mewl at his own ministrations.
"Uhh... Marron... aah...." Goten said desperately between intakes of breath, his corded neck muscles as well as the rest of his god like form flexing and relaxing, signaling his near release.
'He's thinking about me?' Shivering in desire Marron felt a sudden warmth pool in her lower abdomen, a knot of carnal need forming there. 'Kami that's so...' Marron didn't even have the brains to think of a word to describe the way it affected her she was so enticed by the idea of Goten thinking of her in such a way.
Her body, acting on it's own accord walked strait up to the male who was still unaware of her presence. He continued his assault upon his hard length, only fueling Marron's desire for the male even more when she peered through the crystal clear water to see if she could make his entire self out.

Noticing that he was about to reach up to give the same treatment he did to his other nipple, Marron took charge of the situation and before he noticed what was going on she had placed an open mouthed kiss on the tight little bud, doing so repetitiously while grabbing the male's wrist that was hidden underwater. It had since stilled it's actions as Goten snapped opened his eyes to see just what was going on.
Shocked, yes, but not enough to push the girl away since she bombarded him with new sensations as she slowly kissed her way up the length of his chest and neck, finally claiming his lips with her own.
It was a slow and cautious kiss at first, after all it was her first time kissing a boy, so she experimentally took his bottom lip between her own lips and alternated between his top and bottom ones.
Smiling slightly at her careful actions Goten took the lead, ignoring his desperate need for release, as he turned Marron so that she was against the bolder he was just recently leaning on.
"You're so beautiful." Goten whispered, unable to find his voice when he adoringly gazed at her body, fully exposed to his hungry eyes, which made Marron bashfully nervous as he inspected her. She turned her head away; her face stained with a bright blush by the way Goten seemed to want to memorize everything about her body.
Goten didn't let the act go unnoticed and snapped out of his silent awe of the girl before him and gently brought her chin in his hand, turning her head so that she would look at him.
Goten swore that he would drown in her breathtaking sapphire eyes, the way they were incredibly dilated in desire and want, and yet held uncertainty, unknowing that she felt the same way when she looked into the ebony windows of his soul.
He gave her a reassuring smile and kissed her on her forehead lovingly, guessing that she was nervous that he would think that she wasn't exactly what he was dreaming about she would look like sky clad...
He couldn't be more right.
"You're the most sexiest female ever born, Marron." He said with a playful smile, as he took her into his embrace, his need now poking Marron's abdomen as he rained kisses on her face, once again taking her lips between his own, only this time it wasn't a slow loving kiss but rather a passionate one.
Gently nibbling on her bottom lip he got the desired affect when she gasped, taking advantage by slipping his velvety tongue in to intertwine with her own. They stayed that way for a while, their tongues dancing with each other before they needed to break for breath.
Goten was the first to recover from the heated kiss they shared, and so while Marron's head was still spinning he gently took the tailed girl's ear lobe in his mouth and nibbled on it. After deeming her ear lobe a wonderfully pink color he then placed open-mouthed kisses down her neck, stopping to make little circles with his tongue when he reached her pulse point.
"Oh Go-ten." Marron moaned, her fingers weaving themselves into his spikes of unruly raven colored hair as she arched her back, the contact of skin on skin enough to drive them both into downward spirals of pure bliss.



Both their chest's rose and fell rapidly as Tenoko and Trunks squared off, determination clearly set in their unique fighting stances as they mentally faced off, circling each other cautiously incase the other would lash out unexpectedly. As if someone had signaled them to begin the sparring match, they launched towards one another simultaneously at astonishing speeds, punches, and kicks met with blocking fore arms.
'Tenoko is so fast, we are evenly matched... well, not for long anyway.' Trunks thought, smirking widely as he thought of astonishing and overpowering the red-headed tailed Juraian princess with his Super Saiyijin transformation.
Tenoko smirked back, only her smirk was for a different reason entirely, one that promised something, although Trunks couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Drawing in a deep breath Trunks concentrated on transforming while Tenoko pulled her hair in a high pony tail during the brief break from exchanging blows. She wiped away some of the beads of sweat that had already begun to fall from her hairline and down the sides of her face, plastering strands of her crimson red hair to her forehead.
The sight of her was one that he wouldn't forget soon enough as the golden flames of his Super Saiyijin form consumed him entirely, his once lavender neck length hair standing on end as it's color turned into bright blond.

"No more playing around I guess." Tenoko stated out loud, the comment not directed to anyone in particular as she drew in a breath of the stuffy air that had since been tainted in the heat of their sparring. Trunks waited for her to power up before he nailed her with one of his assaults, but it never happened......... she just stood there waiting for him to make the first move instead of bringing her power up another notch.
'Very well, if that's what you want.' The transformed Prince thought as he blasted towards her, his fist meeting her face with an overwhelming force that sent her reeling into the wall behind her.
Her body connected with the solid wall, the momentum of the force behind Trunk's blow making an indent in it as she fell to the ground on all fours, her body shaking in what he guessed was fear.
He couldn't be more wrong, for as Tenoko stood she was laughing hysterically, tears staining the corners of her eyes she was laughing so hard.
Raising a thick golden eyebrow in question of Tenoko's strange behavior she abruptly stopped her laughter and gave him a mischievous smile, her eyes gleaming with something other than amusement.
While he was distracted by her sudden change in mood she took off towards him, giving him less than a second of time to block her onslaught of punches and kicks. She was no match for him though, so with little effort he punched her again, this time his hard blow connected with her well formed abdomen, eliciting a moan from her as she met his turquoise gaze with her jaded green one, her eyes lidded and dilated with something other than pain, her moan taking a tone of pleasure rather than agony.

'Maybe I heard wrong?' He thought as she flew a little away from him, this time powering up so that now they were more or less evenly matched. Before Trunks could follow with his eyes she had phased out and appeared directly in front of him, returning the blow to the abdomen that he had given to her earlier. Bent over from the force of the blow, Trunks tried to get his breath back before standing up strait again, only instead he found his chin in the hands of his sparring partner, Tenoko.
Cupping his chin in her thin and dainty hand, Tenoko, the fiery red haired genetically enhanced Juraian princess brought the Prince into a standing position, forcing him to stop holding his mid section in the process.
Their eyes met, piercing jade green ones against striking clear blue ones. The windows to her soul were dilated greatly, the ebony circle growing and nearly eating up the jaded green area despite the brightness of the room they were in, while his pupils were pin point size, standing out incredibly against his wide sea colored eyes. This was it. He was completely mesmerized in her beautiful gaze; the way the light would play in the pools of her sea green eyes, making them come to life and sparkle just for him. He was trapped within her soulful orbs and all of the emotion they held inside.........
Playfulness
Mischieviousness
Loyalty
Faithfulness
Need
Desire
Love
They were all there, out in the open for him to read, and it made him realize that he too held similar feelings towards her. The realization of such truth made the Prince blink despite his state of stupor, his eyes meeting her perfectly pouty lips once he opened them back up.
He audibly gulped; his eyes alternating between her breathtaking eyes and her begging to be kissed lips as he stayed glued to his spot, her hand still cupping his chin.

Closing her eyes, Tenoko slowly inched forward, her warm breath tickling the Prince's face as he too closed his eyes, patiently waiting for her perfectly plump lips to connect with his own. The red headed girl's hand moved from holding his chin to cupping the side of his face, her thumb landing at the end of his jaw line where it met his ear lobe while the other four fingers lightly grazed in his golden locks of hair near the nape of his neck. Every nerve ending stood in attention as her warm lips brushed lightly against his own, barely caressing them with touch as if to tease him.
She accomplished her goal, teasing him to the point that the prince took the initiative and pressed his lips more fully into her own, making Tenoko's breathing come sporadically and her heart beat irregularly as his tongue started to join in on the action. He ran the velvety length along the seam of her lips coming together, slightly tickling her to the point where she gasped. He took advantage of the act and slowly plunged his tongue inside her warm mouth, seeking her own wet muscle in order to coax it into dancing with his own.
Tenoko responded accordingly, her tongue meeting his half way as she reveled in the feeling of it against her own. He tasted good, not as sweet as candy, but just as addicting, she noted carefully as she continued to probe into him experimentally. They were like that for what seemed like an eternity until the lavender haired prince grew bold, allowing his hands to grasp Tenoko by the waist and bring her down so that she were now pinned down to the floor, his larger bulkier body above hers.
"Oh Trunks..." Tenoko said breathlessly, her voice just above a whisper as he broke their kiss, his lips moving from her now swollen pink lips to travel down her jaw line and neck, gently sucking her skin, eliciting a moan from her. Meanwhile his hands were genitally playing with the skin around her waist, his thumb making circles every now and then as he moved to suckle her pointed ear.
Tenoko ran her hands along his back, reaching down to the hem of his loose muscle shirt and under it, feeling the Prince's hot skin against her hand as she brought it back up, bringing the shirt along with her hands. Up and over it went, in one fluent motion removing the lavender haired Prince's shirt and tossing it aside. Using the slight pause in their heated moment of passion, the fire goddess took the opportunity to turn the tables and return in full the feelings that Trunks had ignited her every nerve with. Sitting up she locked her lips in his own, leaning forward all the way until it was now the Prince who was pinned between the floor and her body. Unwillingly breaking the kiss, Tenoko mounted the now submissive royal hire to the crown of Vegeta-sei's waist, grinding her hips into him as she leaned down to his ear lobe, licking it with the tip of her tongue to moisten it's headed surface. She then blew on it, making the royal male under her squirm with unrequited desire, accomplishing to cause more friction in an area that was already sensitive from the Prince's earlier ministrations. Taking his ear lobe between her teeth and carefully nibbling it, the unruly haired female ran her fingers over the Prince's chest and abdomen, enjoying the feeling of his feverish hard rippled body against her small hands.
It was all almost too much for the young male to take as he gasped audibly, his body quickly reacting to the fire goddess's talented hands as they touched his skin that was now covered in a thin sheen of sweat. If she kept this up he would have no self-restraint and would take her here and now, whether she wanted it or not.
"Aahh... Ten...oko..." The once mighty crown Prince moaned out loudly, his hands diving into her spiky disheveled fire-engine-red hair and entangling themselves there when she caught him off guard as she took his male nipple into her hot little mouth, playing with it as it hardened in wet warmth of her mouth. Her other hand worked on the other one, rolling it between her index finger and thumb, all the while grinding her already moist female flower into his already fully engorged length.
"Trunks, my prince... I... I ...." Tenoko started to say, breathless beyond the point of being able to speak normally.
"Y-yes?" Trunks managed to press on, his voice overly husky in his drunken state of arousal.
"I... I know that... that I may seem difficult... but deep down...I..." The fire goddess choked out, desire staining her every word as she tried to form full understandable sentences.

Waking up from his uncompleted dream the overly aroused lavender haired male noticed with a groan the rather large tent in his silk sheets. Damn little red haired wench had even managed to infiltrate his dreams, making his body react in a very... interesting way.
Growling loudly Trunks promptly stood, throwing off his covers as he did so and making his way to the bathroom to take a very long, ice cold shower.
"Oh you're awake!" Goten said enthusiastically, his lower form wrapped in a terry cloth towel, a huge grin upon is face, unusually more pronounced that it usually was as if he was REALLY happy about something.
"What's up with you?" Trunks asked curiously, eyeing his overly happy companion with one perfectly shaped lavender eyebrow arched in question.
"Nothing, just had a really good sleep." He said, not including the details of a certain blond sapphire-eyed girl that had taken up his entire dream, deeming it a passionate one. Looking at his friend, Goten noticed that his usually mild mannered Prince was perturbed for some strange reason, a quick glance down was all it took for the raven unruly haired male to know what contributed to his foul mood.
"Heh-heh... sleep well buddy?" Goten teased as Trunks growled in warning, not in the mood at all to do so much as speak about it.
"Shut up." Was all the Prince said before stepping into the bathroom and slamming the door behind him, leaving a smirking Goten on the other side.
"Just remember to clean up after yourself!" Goten shouted after Trunks as he ran and dodged a flying shoe that was launched directly at him from the blue eyed male inside the bathroom, the door swiftly shutting behind him once more as the sound of running water filled the room.

"Wake up Tenoko..." Marron cooed, shaking her friend awake. For the past hour Marron had been up and about, taking a cold shower after the very pleasant dream she had and now just listening to her friend dream. Apparently she was having a rather interesting dream as well by the way she would moan and grind her hips against one of the pillows. The blond pig- tailed haired girl was torn between letting her friend finish her dream and blushing madly at the noises she was making, or waking her up and saving herself from all of the embarrassing things Tenoko was doing in her sleep.
"Oh Trunks, don't stop..." Tenoko whispered, turning over and grabbing Marron into a hug which made the blonde's eyes grow wide in surprise and embarrassment, a bright pink blush staining her cheeks as she was forced to mount her sleeping friend as she was brought upon her. Tenoko's pouty lips were sucking on her cheek now and it made her eyes grow to the size of saucers when her best friends legs wrapped around her waist and held her tightly in place.
"TENOKO!" Marron shouted, trying to get out of the fire-engine-red haired girl's tight compromising embrace.
"Hmm...?" Tenoko hummed in question, her eyes still half lidded as she awoke from her dream, finding a very flustered Marron above her on all fours...not to mention on top of her too.
"Oh my, Marron, I'm so flattered, but I'm strait." Tenoko joked with a smile, letting go of the sapphire-eyed girl that had the most mortified look dancing upon her face. Marron rolled her eyes and giggled a bit at the joke, deciding not to mention to her friend all of the noises and other things she had said in her sleep...
One of those things being the self-admission that she loved Trunks, the prince that every princess in the universe was competing to marry.
"Sleep well?" She asked her still sleepy eyed friend who still lay in bed, stretching much like a feline before she kicked off the covers.
"I guess... I can't say I didn't enjoy it." Tenoko stated with a smirk as she stood, getting a towel and other toiletries in her grasp in order to take a much needed cold shower.
"You were very loud..." Marron stated with a pretty pink blush upon the bridge of her nose as she looked at the ground.
"I do hope you mean my snoring...." Tenoko stated with a chuckle, knowing full well that she had probably waken the blond up with her loud sleep talking.
"...Yes, of course... you're snoring was loud enough to wake up the entire galaxy..." Marron played along as she smiled, banishing the blush from her cheeks.

There it is, I can't believe I got it out a whole ten pages of romance wow!

I want to personally apologize to all of you who have read my writing... I'm sorry I took almost a year to get this to you all... I promise it was not my intention. I was very ill for a very long time, rendering six months of my life on serious medical drugs that altered the way I think and act, and aside from that I was hospitalized for almost a month. I was having violent convulsions that were so bad that the muscles in my legs were out of it, twisting them the wrong way so that my feet were pointed in the wrong direction. I couldn't walk for a little more than a month and I was in an incredible amount of pain. A combination of strong pain medication and other mind altering medications that the doctors prescribed rendered my rational mind useless for a long time, even after I had stopped the medication, their long term effect was strong and my mind wasn't what it used to be. I have only one thing to say though... Thank God for his healing, because he healed me from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet. I could have died... It was only by grace that I was spared and healed from my infirmities... and I have God to thank for that.

I also want to personally thank Amber (Lady Tokimi, Zerox, and ect.) who encouraged me to get this out to you guys... she's a real motivational person, one of the best on line friends one could ever have. Thank you.

I also want to take this time to say thank you to all of you who reviewed... you are all special to me, and I greatly appreciate the support you give me with every single review, good or bad.

I'm working on the next chapter to "When Royalty Fails" and I hope to get it out soon... hopefully before the next semester of college (it starts in the 20's) So look out for it! Oh, and yeah, I am in college now (doing duel credit, so I do my senior year of high school, and my freshman year of college together) - and guess what guys!? I'm an awesome English writer, my professor loves my writing and says that I should do it as a future job That really helps me you know? Knowing that someone that is a Dr. in English would tell me, a lowly high school senior, that her writing is good enough to actually make it in today's competitive market. Yay!

I don't think I'm in any right to ask for any reviews, but, if you would be so kind as to do so, I maybe able to make another chapter of this story... maybe... just maybe. I would love to... and so with proper motivation (as in reviews) I will most likely be able to write up another chappie, just for you faithful readers - -Kinoko Selah Guerra
