"Cell, why don't you just give up? You're never going to find 18." Cell said stubbornly, "Shut up, you don't know what your saying Apple-Blossom." Kiwi inwardly groaned at being called 'Apple-blossom'. "Cell, if you don't give up now, Trunks and the others will come and kill you. I can feel their chi heading this way. They wont allow you to take 18."

"Yes they will." Kiwi frowned and snapped, "Oh really? And why would they do something like that?" his arm tightened around her waist and he said evilly, "I have you." Kiwi rolled her eyes, "They're not that stupid. You think Vegeta cares about me? He's only worried about his power and reputation. You know, other than you Vegeta is the only other guy so full of himself it's disgusting."

"Apple-blossom, I believe you do not understand the gravity of the situation. I am Cell; therefore I am ten times stronger than your little Trunks and his friends. Therefore when they come to save you I shall kill them. I'll start with Trunks first. First I'll tear his long purple hair out, and then I'll rip off an arm and a leg. Then… Bwahahahahahahahaha!" Kiwi felt a tear fall from her eye.

Seeing it Cell said mockingly, "Crying are we? I'll tell you what, I wont kill you're little friends if…" he allowed his voice to trail off and Kiwi said grudgingly, "if what?" he smiled evilly, allowing his lips to look like oversized hotdogs. (Sorry all you hotdog fans!) "If…you join me freely. If you consent to being my little miss…" his voice trailed off when he felt Kiwi's chi rise dangerously.

She stared up at him suspiciously, "If I join you…you wont kill Trunks? He'll be fine?" Cell rolled his eyes disgustedly, "how on earth could you love such a man? He is nothing compared to me." Kiwi, who was now sitting stiffly next to Cell, froze. L-love? Did she love Trunks? Was that why she was so concerned about him? Why she found him so appealing?

Kiwi shook her head slightly. No, that couldn't be it. She said softly, "I ask once more…if I join you…you must swear that you will not harm one hair one his head." Cell could barely contain his smile. "I knew you'd see things my way. Now Apple-blossom, this may hurt a little." Before apple…er…Kiwi could or say anything Cell hit her hard across the back of the neck effectively knocking her out.

Black, black, black. Blackness swirled all around the young woman as she struggled to breathe. A hand reached out and touched her nose. It was easy to breathe now. Slightly frightened she said, 'Is that you?' relief flooded over Kiwi when the familiar male voice said, 'No. It's the boogeyman.' Kiwi felt the frown cross her features. 'We have no time to joke around. Trunks and the other's are in trouble.'

'Trunks and the other's or just Trunks." Kiwi blushed deeply and snapped, "You know what I mean! Why is it that you guys are always trying to decipher my feelings for him?' he raised an eyebrow, 'Oh really? How do you know we're not just telling you the simple truth? Think about the time you were about to kiss him. Or about the time that one girl what was her name…? Ah yes, Diana started to stalk him? How did you feel then?' Kiwi felt woozy. She loved Trunks. The realization of it, the simplicity of the idea made her laugh. Still giggling she said, 'Are you trying to tell me that I'm in love with him? That I want to be with him always? That I want to hold him as if there were no tomorrow? That if something was to happen to him I'd be sad. That if he were to die…I'd die with him?'

By the time she finished she was talking more to herself than to him. He reached out and touched her cheek softly. He said in a very sad voice, 'yes dearest.'

Kiwi felt herself being roughly thrown to the ground. Opening her eyes she felt someone grabbing her and yanking her up. It was Trunks, in his super saiyan form. His aqua eyes held a look of rage she had never seen before. Turning to see what he was looking at she realized with shock and anger Cell was now absorbing 18. Vegeta stood near by, looking every inch the saiyan prince. Krillen looked as if he had had the whole world in his hands and then it had been torn away from him.

Cell finished his evil deed and then once more burst into the bright light. When it faded Cell looked straight at Kiwi and beckoned for her to come. The small woman felt helpless when Trunks tightened his arms around her. No, she would not stay. She would go with Cell. She would go with him and let Trunks live. "I'm sorry Trunks." Kiwi yanked herself away from the young man and slowly walked forward to the android.

Cell had a large smirk on his now handsome face. "I knew you'd make the right choice Apple-blossom. Now come, we have business to attend to. Vegeta, we need not fight now. In ten days time we'll have our chance." He grabbed Kiwi roughly around the waist and took off before Trunks could say or do anything.

YEA-YAWN! Finally I have finished this treacherous chapter. I cannae believe that Kiwi actually left Trunks willingly. But I guess she really likes him! Any ways I'm sorry the chapter's so short but I must leave and get some beauty sleep.

Oh! I almost for got! The quiz I gave last time was wrong! No one was right! Ha! A spider monkey is a giant beetle! Ha! Bet you people weren't expecting that. Winks G'night

Alright I was just joking. I spider monkey is really a monkey. You guys really didn't believe me did you!
