Uncle and Father

Homura followed his young nephew into the house. The young boy put some cookies on his uncle's plate. He also got some milk and poured that into a cup. He handed them to Homura. " Thank you."

Zanth looked up at his uncle. " So why are you here? I haven't seen you.."

" People are after me nephew... they want to chain me up again..."

" Why?" The little boy asked innocently.

Homura looked around. " I was once evil and I hurt a lot of people." He said.

Zanth nodded. " You did it because you hurt too uncle Mura." He said. Homura looked at the boy in shock, with both the nickname and his words.

" Yes you're right." Homura agreed.

Zanth smiled and ate a cookie. " You wanna meet auntie Keke?" He looked over his shoulder. " She's really nice." He said.

Homura looked doubtfully in the direction of his gaze. 'Would the girl recognize me?' He wondered.

Zanth shook his head and laughed. " No silly, she's never seen you before, she won't hurt you with the chains." He said in reassurance.

Homura smiled back at his young nephew. " I am glad of that at least... but uh... how is she your aunt? Your mom didn't get married to Keiko did she?" Homura asked. ' Could she have really done something like that? Well it would make sense the way she acted.'

" They love each other lots and auntie Keke said I could call her that because of uncle Keiko and mommy. They have something in their minds, but I don't know what it is, but it's kinda like what me an' mommy have." He laughed.

" So now I have a new daddy since I never had an old one." He smiled happily.

Homura bowed his head. Sadness over came him. " I'm sorry you didn't have your father here for you Zanth! I wasn't able to protect him when he went to war with me and the others. But I'm glad for your mother… Keiko is a nice guy… Alright I'll meet Keke."

Zanth bounced happily and took Homura's hand in his own. " She's really nice, you'll like her." He said again. Homura allowed his nephew to pull him into another room and he stiffened as he spied the girl in the kitchen.

" Auntie Keke, look who came to visit!" Zanth said excitedly to alert her attention.

Keke turned away from the stove, brandishing another pan of cookies. She smiled brightly. " It's nice to meet you." She bowed politely. Homura winced. Keke looked exactly as her mother did all those years ago and he felt guilty about killing her parents and leaving the girl alone with her siblings.

" It's nice to meet you too." He nodded.

Keke remained cheerful and busied about the kitchen. " So how do you know Jal and Zanth?" She asked curiously.

" He's my uncle!" Zanth replied as he stole another cookie.

Keke looked up in surprise. " Oh really?" She looked pointedly at his tail. " I take it from his father's side." She smiled.

Homura nodded and frowned. 'This girl seems to hold no hate towards Saiyans.'

Zanth giggled. " That's because she has a boyfriend who's like me." He said.

Keke's mental powers were not as strong so she did not hear Homura's thoughts. " What?" She asked in confusion.

Zanth stuffed a cookie in his mouth. " I was telling Uncle about Kadin." He informed her through crumbs.

Homura felt something clamp onto his arm. He looked down. ' No… those are the start to the chain! Man this sucks… I don't want to be treated like a prisoner anymore… but I guess that is my destiny to play….I shall never be free.' He knew it would only be moments before the chain was complete.

' at least I got to see my nephew…. At least once…'

Zanth also saw the chain. " Uncle, what's wrong with your arm?" He asked.

Homura smiled gently at the child. " Some mean people don't want me to be free, they want to chain me up forever." He said.

Zanth frowned. " Who wants to hurt you, I won't let them touch you." He growled protectively while holding onto his newly found cookie. Zanth's eyes flashed angrily. " They're not going to take my uncle Mura from me." He hugged Homura's waist possessively. Homura frowned as he saw the familiar glint in Zanth's eyes, it was the look he had always had when he killed. Keke watched mutely until a sharp knock at the front door alerted her attention to the front of the house. Zanth turned to her. " It's Kadin." He said.

Homura frowned, the boy he had control over was here? 'Why?' He wondered. " He's Keke's boyfriend remember?" Zanth replied. " I hope he doesn't tell your secret." Homura nodded, his powers were still weakened though his strength was slowly returning.

Kadin walked into the room. " Homura! You bastard..."

Homura hit him across the face. " Don't bad talk in front of the boy."

" Oh so your protective of people now are we! This is the same man who used people to kill others... I think Ukyo has all rights to lock you up for good..."

Keke's eyes widened at the identity of the man before her and she moved behind Kadin. Zanth growled next to his uncle. " Don't talk to my uncle Mura like that!" He yelled. He angrily threw a cookie at Kadin's head and his eyes glowed with power.

Kadin groaned in pain and clutched his head. " You little brat." He spat angrily.

Homura looked at his nephew.. " Don't... don't hurt him. It will only get you into the same boat as me... I know your mother would never forgive me if you got imprisoned like me." Homura turns to Kadin. " Don't make me hurt you." He said in a cold voice.

Kadin turned toward Keke and she hugged him protectively to her chest. Zanth's eyes lost their madness for the moment and he bowed his head. " I'm sorry uncle Mura." He said softly. He glared at Kadin. " But he was being mean!" He stuck out his tongue out at Kadin.

" I deserved it... after what I did to him... he deserves to be mean to me." Homura looked down at his arms. The chain's size was increasing. ' damn...'

Zanth began to cry as he looked at his uncle. " I don't want you to leave me!" He sobbed.

Homura gently patted his head. " It's for the best little one." He said gently.

Another knock came from the door and Zanth stiffened. A growl escaped his clenched teeth and he glared at Keke. " Don't let them in." He said angrily.

" Who?" Keke frowned, moving to answer the door.

" They want to take my uncle away from me!" Zanth yelled.

Keke's eyes widened. " You mean my sister's here? She's safe?" She asked excitedly as she ran to the door.

Keke opened the door. " Ukyo! You're alive."

" Never mind about me… where's Homura! I know he's here…"

" In the kitchen…"

Ukyo smiled. She walked into the kitchen and she spotted Homura. "Time to go Homura… you can't escape now!"

Homura nodded mutely but Zanth growled at Ukyo. " He's not going anywhere." He said angrily.

Ukyo looked down at the small boy. " Who are you?" She asked.

Jal pushed past her angrily. " He's my son." She said. She went to Zanth and kneeled beside the small boy. " Honey, Homura has to go with them now." She said sadly.

Zanth stiffened. " No, they want to hurt him!" He cried and angrily pointed toward Ukyo and Keiko. He glared at the prince. " I hate you, stay away from my mommy and uncle!"

Keiko looked hurt and held out a hand toward the three but felt a sharp pain in his mind. He winced and clutched at his head. " What?" He murmured.

Jal saw this and turned to Zanth in surprise. " Zanth, no you mustn't!" She tried to push her son from Keiko's gaze.

Homura embraced the boy. " Zanth... do you want to end up like me? I don't think so... You are what I should have been... don't go down the wrong road because you want to protect me... The chain may now be complete... but that doesn't mean I can't stay with you... I'd just have to be treated much differently... So what do you want kiddo?"

Zanth sighed and bowed his head, breaking his connection with Keiko. " I just don't want you to leave me." He whispered. " I miss daddy and you remind me of him so much."

Homura patted his head. "How do you remember your father, you were too young when he died."

Zanth looked up at his uncle. " Mommy told me about him." He said happily.

" You want me to stay here with you squirt?" Homura asked. He knew he was like his brother but he never thought anyone would look up to him.

Zanth nodded happily. " Hai." He smiled.

Homura looked towards Ukyo. " Is that alright with you?" He demanded somewhat angrily.

Ukyo glared at him. " I still don't trust you and I think you should rot in the dungeons." She said.

Keiko pushed past her and stood before Homura. " You can stay with them if you promise not to hurt anyone anymore." He said

Homura looked at Keiko. " I swear on my brother's grave... that I shall not hurt anyone... and if I ever do... I shall forever rot in the dungeons... These chains prevent me from doing damage..." Homura turns to Zanth. " I'm going to stay with you ok... but remember things will not be all to normal."

Zanth looked curiously. " But why not uncle Mura?" He wondered innocently.

Homura shook his head. " I will be forever chained and I won't be able to use my powers as you do."He said gently.

" What if you have to defend yourself Uncle Mura? What then... you would have to use your powers then wouldn't you... so wouldn't it be putting you at risk?"

" That's why I have you to protect me." He smiled. " Will you be strong for me and protect me?" He asked the small boy.

Zanth smiled proudly. " Of course!" He said immediately.

" Thanks kiddo." Homura said.

Ukyo sighed from her side of the room. " Can we stop with the mushy stuff? We're not going to release you so just get used it."

Keke gasped. " Ukyo!" She protested.

Ukyo pouted. " I don't care, I still don't like him because of what he did to us!" She said angrily.

" Hey! I'm not so happy being chained up either you know. My powers aren't as good as they should be... But as you said I'm stuck as i am..." cough, blood comes from his mouth. Homura trembled in pain. " But I might not have much time left."

" Homura!" Jal cried. She moved to his side and supported him up from his coughing. " We'll get you help right now!" She said hurriedly.

Homura leaned into her weakly. " It's too late, I'm too far gone." He said tiredly.

" No! I helped Keiko, I can help you too!" She said.

" I'm the one who made this virus... I spent years trying to prevent its course in my veins... don't concern yourself with me. I don't have that much time left, I rather live them out."

Zanth looked up at his uncle. " I can help you uncle Mura." He said innocently.

Homura looked at him curiously. " If your mother can't then how do you expect to help me?" He asked gently, not wanting to get the boy's hopes up.

Zanth smiled and held out his hand toward his uncle. " Just relax." He said softly. He touched Homura's forehead and closed his eyes. His power swirled around his hand and moved toward his uncle. Homura watched mutely as did everyone else.

" That's it Zanth, just like we practiced." Jal said happily.

Homura felt his strength rejuvenating. But he wasn't out of the woods. Homura smiled back at the boy. "Thank you... You saved me for the moment." But Homura's chains were another story. They started to glow and send huge amounts of energy thought them causing Homura to scream in agony.

" Uncle!" Zanth cried.

Jal turned angrily toward Ukyo. " What is the meaning of this?" She demanded.

Ukyo held up her hands. " Why do you assume it's me?" She asked angrily.

" Your the only one i know who can make Homura's chains do that... stop it... let him go." Jal said.

Ukyo tried to stop it. " Its not me! I can't stop it." Homura's pain kept increasing and his screams became more painful

" Please stop the pain." Homura groaned. Zanth tried to help him, he was giving him all of his healing energy, only staying ahead of the pain by a few breaths.

" Mommy." Zanth whined. " It hurts." He sobbed as he shared Homura's pain.

" It can't be him could it... but no... he wouldn't... he couldn't... he's dead..." Jal said. The pain was so immense. Homura couldn't stand the pain. " It might guy be my husband."

Keiko gasped. " What?" His eyes widened.

Trunks perked up too. " I thought he was dead." He put in.

Jal covered her mouth. " Is he alive?" She whispered.

Homura groaned in pain. " He's taking his revenge on me." He chuckled through his agony. " Because I have hurt so many."

Jal turned to him. " Why didn't I know he was alive!" She demanded.

Zanth looked worriedly up to his mother, pale skin covered in sweat. " Daddy's alive?" He asked softly

Homura looked toward Zanth. " He wants me dead..." Once again the pain increased. " I don't think he's alive though..."

" Then why?" Zanth sniffed. " Why would my daddy do this to you?" He asked.

Homura bowed his head. " I let him die." He said softly.

Jal cried out softly. " You were supposed to protect him!" She accused.

Homura winced against the pain. " I was called by my lord, King Vegeta wanted me by his side!" He shook his head. " When I returned to where we were stationed everything was gone, bodies filled my vision." He hit his fist against the floor. " He tried to warn me, he asked me to stay with him but I didn't listen! Its only reasonable he wants me dead. but this isn't like him... he'd never torture me to death..."

" Then who?" Trunks asked. "Who would want you dead so badly?"

Everyone looked around the room and Keiko frowned. " Where did Keke and Kadin go?" He asked.

Jal's eyes widened. " You don't think that Kadin?" She turned to Zanth. " Where is he?" She asked him.

Zanth closed his eyes. " He has Keke, they're on the roof." He said, inclining his head toward the ceiling. He growled. " The power is coming from them, the evil energy." He whispered.

Homura could feel his arms being broken. He tried to break free from the chains grasp on him but it only made it worse, a huge shock went through his body. He fell to the floor. " MAKE IT STOP!" He shouted.

" Damn him." Trunks growled. He ran outside and looked up, raising his energy and flying toward the roof. "You're going to be in a lot of trouble if you're the one behind this." He landed on the roof and looked around. " Keke!" He called.

" Trunks!" She appeared before him suddenly. "You have to help Kadin, he's lost it and he's hurting Homura!" She sobbed.

Trunks growled. " Show me to him."

Kadin was on the other side of the roof. Kadin's energy kept increasing. " So nice to have a visit from you Trunks... like what i'm doing?"

" Kadin this is wrong, no matter what Homura did to you!" He said angrily.

Kadin laughed. " Do you have any idea what he has done to me?" He spat. " He made my life a living hell! Why wouldn't I want to kill him!" He roared.

" Kadin... of course you want him dead... but you better not... Homura is suffering enough as it is... its plain cruel to hurt him as badly as you are. So stop it... let him go."

" Why?" Kadin asked, eyes pleading. " Why can't I end it all?" He whispered. " He took Ukyo from you and forced you to torture her." He smiled at Trunks' shocked expression. " Don't remember?" Kadin chuckled. " You don't usually remember anything after he has controlled you." He said softly. " Believe me I know."

" Please just release him... those Chains are their for a reason... let him be till his natural death..."

Kadin looked like he was about to argue but Keke appeared in his line of vision. " Please Kadin, for Zanth. The boy needs his uncle." She asked softly.

Kadin sighed and lowered his head, waving his hand in the air and reigning in his power. "You'll all regret this in the end." He said glaring at Trunks. "He won't change." Trunks turned away.

" Thank you Kadin." He said, taking Keke and leaving the boy on the roof alone.

Homura laid on the floor unconscious. No one could sense his life force... but his heart was still beating. Homura was so pale you could have sworn he was a ghost.

Trunks walked in with Keke. " Is he alright now?" He looked at the weak figure on the ground.

Jal nodded. " He will be in time, was it Kadin after all?" She asked angrily.

Keke nodded sadly. " He has been so out of character lately. I can't believe he has done all these horrible things." She sighed. " I wish we could just go back to normal."

Then something strange happened. Homura stood up, he looked down at his arms. He growled at himself. " What's going on! Why is this happening! Why have I been imprisoned!"

" You've been sentenced, and this is your fate." She raised an eyebrow.

" You were accepting it a few moments ago." She pointed out.

Homura growled and turned to her sharply. " What is the meaning of this?" He demanded. " I'm not some common criminal! I have done nothing wrong do deserve such a sentence! Jal-san what's going on!" Homura asked.

" Homura, don't you remember what you've done?" She asked softly. "You kidnapped Ukyo, isn't that enough of a crime besides torturing her?" She said.

" Jal... are you feeling alright honey... you just called me Homura... but that's my brother's name.." He touches her forehead. He didn't realize it but he touched her diamond.

Jal winced in pain and screamed. " No!"She tried to knock his hand away. Her nails scrabbled at his arm and pushed it roughly away, panting.

Zanth looked worriedly at his mother. " Mommy?" He asked softly.

Homura turned to the little boy. " Who are you?" He asked softly.

Zanth seemed surprised. " It's me Zanth uncle Mura, don't you remember me?" He asked curiously.

" Zanth?" The whisper was pained.

Zanth's eyes widened as he sensed the energy surrounding his uncle.

" You're not uncle Mura." He said in surprise. " Um guys, I think there's something wrong with the old guy." He said carefully. Keke nodded beside him.

" Homura, what game are you playing at?" Ukyo demanded.

" Princess Ukyo..." Homura breathed out. " I already told you people... I'm not Homura! That is my brother's name!" Homura turns to Jal. " c'mon hun... why are you doing this to me... why did you sentence me... have i done something wrong to you or what? Its not funny this time... let me go.."

Jal stared at Homura, eyes wide. " Aden? Is that really you in there?" She whispered.

Zanth turned to his mother. " Mommy, is that daddy?" He asked curiously.

Keiko gasped. " What!" He said in surprise.

" Of course its me! c'mon hun... let me go... and tell me what's wrong with you..."

" Y-you died Aden." She shook her head as tears came to her eyes. " In the war… love." She said. Keiko gained a hurt expression as he watched the two interact.

Zanth perked up. "You're in uncle Mura's body right now." He informed.

Aden frowned. " My brother?" He shook his head in shock. " I haven't seen him since..." His eyes widened. " The war."Aden looked down at his brother's hands. " Maybe your right and this is my brother's body..." He shook his head. " So big bro got sentenced uh... i always knew it. Alright.. so tell me what i missed?"

" Um..." Everyone felt uncomfortable speaking to this person in Homura's body. " Well you obviously died in the war as everyone has said and up until now Homura has been a bastard, killing innocent people in the name of King Vegeta."

Kadin said as he strolled in. " These ones right here barely escaped the dungeons a few hours ago." He said pointing to the others.

Aden turned to Jal. " Since when do you know the royal family?"He asked curiously.

Jal flushed and Keiko stepped forward slowly. " Since I have made her mine." He said softly.

Aden's eyes widened in hurt surprise and he looked to his wife. " Is that true?" He asked.

Jal nodded slightly. "You were gone for so long Aden, you were dead!" She tried to explain herself. " Zanth needed a father." She whispered

" I'm the boys father and you try to find him so other father... you knew I had a brother... why didn't you find him and ask him? Were you afraid of him because of his chains? look at me now... i'm stuck in my brother's body... and i find out my wife is going out with another man!"

Keiko growled angrily. " Don't speak to her that way!" He snapped. "Your brother was evil up until now and we thought him dead like you." He said. Jal nodded beside him and

Zanth looked curiously from his position on the floor, somehow attaining a cookie and munching on it happily. "Mommy, why is daddy being mean?" He asked as he nibbled on his treat.

" Maybe its your uncle Mura's influence... or I suspect he is jealous... he doesn't want another man to have me."

" What did you aspect Jal.. you are my wife! I see... you just don't want to be with your true husband!" Aden tried to break the chains that were holding him. " Damn these chains! Jal, i don't deserve this! What happened to our love?"

Jal wiped away her tears. " I love you Aden, I always did. But what we had died when you left." She said softly. " This is wrong, you're not supposed to be here." She turned to the others. " We need to find a way to bring back Homura." She said, trying not to look at Aden.

Zanth's ears perked up at those words. " Uncle Mura?" He asked happily.

" Jal honey! Don't... don't shove me way... I wanna stay with you Jal... i don't wanna go back... Please... don't force me to go."

" Aden, your life ended a long time ago. You shouldn't be here as much as I want to be with you, it's time for you to go back." She cried. She shook her head and ran to Keiko's outstretched arms, she didn't want to make this decision, it hurt too much.

" Homura's disappointed in you Jal.. Please... I don't want to go back... let me stay!"

Ukyo stepped forward. " Aden or whoever you are, you are in Homura's body, you can't stay there as much as I would like it, it's wrong." She ran her hand through her hair tiredly. " How did you end up in his body anyways? One minute Homura's screaming the next you're here." She said.

" Homura was dying... I have been watching him from other world. When he was near death he asked me to come with him back to living world... he knew i couldn't return in the flesh but since were a brothers, not to mention look a likes, i said i can barrow his body... and here i am."

" He willingly gave you his body?" Trunks asked in shock. " That doesn't sound like him." He said.

Kadin nodded. " The Homura I know would never care about others." He said.

" Homura is my brother... I'm the only person he cares for that much that he'd trust me with something like this. And yes... he willingly gave it to me... I wants to help me out... and he thought what best was for me to come into his body."

" Didn't he realize what this would do to us?" Jal asked angrily. " We have our lives now." She sobbed. " We have forgotten the past and given into the future."

Keiko soothingly rubbed her back. " We'll figure this out, I won't make you choose." He reassured.

Aden looks at his wife. " I needed to see you again... I didn't care how i just needed to see you again. maybe i was a fool to think you would just accept me and things would be back to normal... but i see you despise me now, so i'll just rot away to nothing..."

Jal sighed. " I don't hate you, I never did." She looked towards him. "You have to admit this is not normal, dead husbands don't return to the living to see their wives." She said harshly. "I'm confused because I have found another, I had accepted the fact that I would never see you again." She said softly. "And now you're simply back and expect things to go back to normal?"

" Alright i admit... things won't be completely normal... but from what i gather the people die and come back all the time... i simply thought you would love to see the man that livened up your life... i know i would... if i were in your shoes..." The chains raddle on Homura's arms. " Fine... if you want me gone so badly... i'll go..."

Zanth lightly pulled on his arm. " Don't go daddy, you can still stay and be my real daddy even though I have a new daddy now." He said, not understanding the conflict going on.

" Zanth you can only have one daddy..." Aden said.

" But why?" Zanth asked innocently. " I can love both of you." He said sweetly.

" There can only be one woman and one male in a realationship... and the male is the father... and the female is the mother... their for you can't have two."

Zanth sighed sadly. " I guess." He sniffed and looked up to his father. "But I'm going to miss you when you go." He said.

' now my son doesn't want me... uh...' " I guess you are going to get your uncle back..." He said to Zanth. He turned his eyes to Jal. " I was so wrong about you... as you wish... you can have your normalcy! I just wither away into nothingness..."Aden said

Jal frowned. " Why don't you want to go back Aden? Is death so terrible?" She wondered.

Aden chuckled softly. " If only you knew." He shook his head.

" Then help me understand Aden!" Jal cried. " I need to know why you're trying to escape death!"

" Jal... for me there is nothing for me... all I have waiting for me is, a prison cell... and more chains. That's not peace... its torment."

" But why? You did no wrong in life." She said angrily. " Why do you deserve such a fate?"

" I came to see you... King Yama wouldn't let me... and well i attacked him and 'escaped' into Homura's body... So you see... i'm now better of then Homura... no matter where i go... i will be pained up like a beast."

" Then stay." Trunks said bluntly. Everyone turned to him in question and he shrugged. " Well if Homura lets him then why not? It is his body after all and he has say as to who he can share it with."He said.

Keke nodded in agreement. " It's true, you shouldn't worry about what everyone else thinks, if this is what you and Homura want then stay." She said.

Jal nodded. " But maybe it would be better if Homura was the dominant personality." She said softly.

Aden nodded. " As long as i can stay, i don't care... thank you... See you around sometime."

He closed his eyes and the opened them in a shock. " Its great to be back!"

" Homura I take it?" Kadin said dryly.

Homura nodded and simply smiled. Jal glared angrily at him. "Why didn't you tell us what you had planned?" She demanded.

" To be honest... i didn't know Aden wanted to... it was sorta last minute. I'm sorry... if i upset you, but Aden really missed you..." Homura said.

Jal sighed tiredly. "Yes, so he told us, but I have my life now." She said.

Ukyo looked curiously at Homura as though she wanted to poke him. " So Aden is still in there with you?" She wondered.

" Yep... wanna talk to him?"

" Um, not at the moment." She said frowning.

Trunks watched from her side. "So how does it feel to have another person in your head?" He asked.

" It feels a bit weird, but its also fun... you can spend hours cracking yourself up...uh.. wait a sec..." He told everyone. He closed his eyes for a second. " Aden has a request..."

" Put him through then I guess." Ukyo said. Jal nodded beside Keiko and watched Homura for any signs of change.

Homura closed his eyes and then opened them again. " Hello again... alright, I have one request... can you please release my brother?"

Ukyo choked on her laughter. " Release him, are you serious? After what he did you expect us to just let him go?" She demanded.

" What's wrong with that?"

Trunks scratched his head. " Well I don't think you know exactly what Homura has done." He said slowly. "He kidnapped the planets ruler for one, then proceeded to torture her and her brother. Not to mention he tried to harm her unborn child." He said.

Aden was a bit shocked. " Well he did go over board that time... man... why does he do this to me..." He sighed. " I don't see the harm in releasing him."

" Let him go." Jal said firmly.

" Excuse me?" Ukyo demanded. Jal turned to her.

"Let him go, with Aden sharing a body with him all thoughts of him trying to kill again are dissipated. Aden will make sure he stays sane." She said giving Aden a warm look.

He smiled. " Thank you for holding so much trust in me." He turned to Ukyo. " Will you allow my brother to go free?" He asked softly.

" I don't think I should... I have him exactly where I want him... this way... I can control his actions... I rather be in control then you... his brother... you could be just like em for all I know, but I refuse to release him!"

Keiko sighed and moved forward, brushing his hands across the chains and releasing the prisoner. " Ukyo, you need to relax sometimes." He said turning to his fuming sister. "He has changed from the man he used to be and I trust that Jal knows her husband." He said, though his last words were a bit forced.

" Thank you…." Aden said. He closed his eyes and then opened them again.

" So you let me go…"

Ukyo growled and crossed her arms. " You have my brother to thank for that. " She said peeved.

Homura bowed to Keiko in surprise. " I'm shocked that you out of everyone would choose to release me after all the pain I have caused." He said truthfully.

Keiko smiled and hugged Jal close. " Everyone deserves a second chance. Your brother said something similar I believe." He said.

" What conditions are there?"

"He has agreed to allow you to be the dominant of your body so you of course still have complete control." Trunks said.

Keke nodded. " That's all we have agreed to, so you two can work out the finer details." She chuckled.

" I have one more condition!" Ukyo shouted.

Kadin looked to her lazily. " Yes, let us hear her great words." He said sarcastically.

Ukyo shot him a glare and turned to Homura. " The moment you hurt an innocent person those chains will automatically reattach to your arms and they shall never be able to remove them again."

Homura nodded. " As I am sure my brother told you, I will not harm any." He said. " I would like to keep my freedom." He said dryly.

Ukyo glared at him. " Like that will happen. A criminal stays a criminal! You'll go back to your old ways and I'll be there to chain you again, and I'll enjoy seeing you rot away."

He growled at her. " I bet you would love to see me suffer, Kanjin! And I would love to do the same to you… if you Kanjins hadn't developed that device I would have done so." Homura winced for a minute. " Geez…. What a little brat he is!"

" Who?"

" Aden!"

' Behave yourself brother!'

" Well it seems your brother is keeping you in line…" Ukyo laughed. She felt a strong kick in her. " Ouch."

Trunks looked over at her. " What's wrong?"

" The baby… I think I almost forgot… I have to get it checked up…"

" Well then lets go…"

' I hope the baby isn't hurt.'

To be continued…

Hey everyone. That was a long chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review.

Trunks and goten
