"Dragonball AS: SCU Saga"

Chapter 60- "The Day After"

By- Tiny

Bikini awoke the next day, or rather afternoon, still entangled with the brown-haired Saiya-jin male next to her. Goshin was still snoring, rather loudly at that, and the Saiya-jin female thought it was absolutely adorable. Giving the Goku look alike a small peck on the cheek, Bikini got out of the bed and slid on the nearest thing she could find, which was Goshin's t-shirt. The shirt was extremely large on her slim figure, but it did the job as she strolled into the bathroom.

Closing the door behind her, Bikini tossed Goshin's shirt onto the floor and turned the hot water on in the shower. Steam rolled out of the shower stall as the scalding hot water fell down to the tiles, practically begging Bikini to step inside and wash off. Not one to avoid such a temptation, Bikini stepped in, closing the stall behind her, and started to wash off.

"I'd better get this over with and head for home," the lavender-haired woman cooed, still pleased from the evening, "Dad'll be suspicious other..."

Stopping mid-sentence Bikini happened to rub her hand over the base of her neck, feeling a small, yet slightly pronounced mark. Looking down where her fingers were, the Saiya-jin female's eyes lit up in fear as she could clearly make out a red bite mark.

"Oh no," Bikini whimpered, "I think that that'll be noticed quite easily..."

Back in the bedroom, Goshin was beginning to wake up and Bikini quickly turned off the shower, running out into the bedroom without bothering to cover up. As the door to the bathroom fell to the floor, Goshin caught a glimpse of a very red, very naked Bikini glaring at him. The Saiya-jin males face turned bright red with embarrassment, but that didn't last as a powerful fist slammed into his face, knocking him to the floor.

"What the hell was that for!?!" Goshin growled, "I didn't do anything to you!"

"Oh really? Then what is this for, jackass!?!" Bikini snapped back, pointing to the mark on her neck, "Care to explain that one to me?"

"What can I say?" Goshin grinned stupidly, "I got a little carried away!"

"Oh, that's a comfort!" Bikini grumbled, "Now my Dad is gonna kill me, not to mention you!"

"No he won't," Goshin smirked, standing up, "It would destroy you if he killed me, just as it would destroy me if he killed you."

"Why do you say that?" Bikini grumbled, "You clearly don't know my Dad very well Goshin. He's got a temper that rivals Grandpa's...."

"That may be true, but I think this might stop him," Goshin sighed, pointing a small red mark on his own neck.

"Wait a second, I marked you!?!" Bikini gulped, "But that means....we...."

"Exactly what I've been trying to tell you!" Goshin grinned, "You and me are mated now, so Trunks wouldn't dare even touch me or you."

Bikini was clearly shocked beyond words as the two Saiya-jin just stood there and stared at each other, the realization hitting the Saiya-jin female like a ton of bricks. Tears began to flow out of the lavender-haired woman's eyes as she drew herself up into the fetal position on the floor. Goshin felt his insides twist around watching the Saiya-jin female bawl her eyes out, so he instinctively drew Bikini close to him and stroked her hair.

"Hey, don't cry now," Goshin tried to comfort Bikini, "Everything's gonna be alright, you'll see."

"But what if I end up pregnant or something?" Bikini sniffled, "What are we gonna do then Goshin? Dad'll be sure to forget the fact we're mated if that should happen."

"We'll see about that," Goshin grumbled, "He's not going to do a damn thing to me, you, or the babies..."

"What do you mean 'babies'?" Bikini perked up, "Do you know something I don't?"

"I just meant if you were to get pregnant, then he would do nothing!" Goshin gulped, sweat pouring from his forehead, "Really, that's all!"

"You had better hope so Goshin," Bikini grumbled, "I don't think Dad or Mom are ready to be grandparent's yet...."

In an apartment several miles from Goshin and Bikini, Lee was finally beginning to wake up from the previous nights attack. His vision was incredibly blurry as the son of Chautzu tried to stand up, falling back on his butt before he managed to get there. His throat hurt where whoever attacked him had put that black collar, not to mention the fact that he was feeling incredibly drained as he finally got on his feet.

"They must've put a damper on my power," Lee groaned, powering up slightly, "That's the only explanation for why I feel so weak right now."

Looking around the room as his vision cleared, Lee's eyes came to rest upon a purple t-shirt and a pair of black pants resting at the foot of his bed. Tears began to well up in the human's eyes as he touched the fabric, thoughts of the previous night coming to him suddenly, and he broke down uncontrollably right there on the floor.

"I'm so sorry Shell," Lee bawled, "But mark my words, this is not going to stand! The bastard that did this is going to die!"

Grabbing the letter the attacker had left behind off his bed and throwing on some clothes real quick, Lee jumped out his still open window and darted towards the one place he could find answers: The Lookout. He wasn't exactly pleased with the idea of facing Piccolo and trying to explain things to him, but this was something he had to do if he wanted to find out where Shell was. The consequences be damned....

In a cave about twenty miles from any sort of civilization, a shrill, female voice could be heard echoing through the valley. The source of this voice was none other than the missing Nameksei-jin warrior Shell, who continued to struggle against her bonds inside the cave with all she could muster.

"You're wasting your time," Shell's kidnapper sighed, "Those are ki draining chains; the more you struggle, the more power they take from you. So just cut it out!"

"Let me go, you crazy...person!" Shell growled, "If my father learns that you've got me locked up down here, then he'll rip you a new one!"

"I am not really concerned with your father, my dear," the dark figure chuckled, "I have this entire area covered by a sensory blockade, meaning he couldn't find you even if he wanted to."

"Clearly you don't know my father!" Shell spat, "Even if he doesn't find me, then the others will and that'll be all she wrote for you!"

"I highly doubt that the monkeys will be able to find you either," the figure laughed, echoing around them, "They don't have the intelligence to pull it off. Well, maybe Gohan would...."

"Who the hell are you anyway?" Shell snarled in frustration, "How do you know so much about us?"

"A very good question, Nameksei-jin," the figure smirked, "I guess I can tell you, since you won't be around for too terribly much longer. Just long enough for me to carry out my plans..."

Shell watched with confusion as her captor pulled a metallic mask off of their face, throwing it down on a lab table nearby with a clang. After that, the person pulled off their gloves and boots, tossing them into a corner nearby the chained up Nameksei-jin. Finally, the person dropped their cloak to the floor with a thud, causing Shell's eyes to widen with shock as she gazed into her attackers face.

The person before Shell was a grown woman, no older than her mid-thirties, dressed in a black, long sleeve shirt and a pair of tight leather pants. The woman's clothing, Shell assumed, must've been how she was able to remain unseen while she stalked the young fighters. A relatively beautiful face, save the jagged scar that went down the right side, concealed within it two blood red eyes that glared daggers at the Nameksei-jin woman in chains, purple bangs falling into the woman's face as her lips twisted in a smirk.

"Your a woman!?!" Shell gasped, "Then why did you kidnap me?"

"To get the males to come here after you, their protective nature on overdrive," the woman chuckled, "You see, I have a bit of a score to settle with the Saiya-jin and you Nameksei-jin filth, one that goes back quite a long ways!"

"But I've never even met you!" Shell pleaded, "Why do you want me?"

"Because it will eventually draw out your father and it is he that I want to see the blood of on my hands!" the woman grinned, "Him, as well as the Saiya-jin Goku and Vegeta."

"You're insane, did you know that?" Shell laughed, "Nobody on this planet can defeat Goku or Vegeta and there are very few who can beat my father!"

"Perhaps, but that will all change here soon," the woman smirked, putting her cloak back on, "I, Reiza, will have my revenge on the monkeys and that overgrown houseplant before I'm done!"

Shell looked as though she would open her mouth in protest, but never got the chance as Reiza walked out of sight, carrying her boots and gloves along with her. All the Nameksei-jin woman could do was sulk in the loneliness, crying her eyes out over how helpless she, the daughter of Piccolo, had become. All of her thoughts were on her friends, particularly Lee, and the small hope that they would find her.

"They have to save me, they just have to!" Shell assured herself, "Who knows what this psycho will do to me if they don't?"

NEXT TIME: Bikini and Goshin go back to school only to find out that Pandora and Alisa, Boxer and Medon's lady loves, are missing and that the two Saiya-jin have some kind of collar on their throats. To make matters worse, nobody can sense the missing women's energy levels thanks to Reiza's sensory blockers! How will everyone take the news of these heinous kidnappings? More importantly, how will Piccolo and Trunks react to their daughter's choice in men? Find out in the next installment of Dragonball AS!!!!!
