Chapter 7
Hiding
By
Bulma
O-Ren was a mess. She had been working all night after Trunks was sent to the Tomb. She had heard of Vegeta and Bulma's names before but from where? She tried hard to remember all night long what the link between Trunks and the two prisoners. She needed inside and outside resources. O-Ren heard a knock at the door and threw it open. A servant bowed and handed her a file. She dismissed him quickly and tore the file open. She began to read the contents inside and as she read the file, the more her smile grew more and more in satisfaction. She knew everything now, it was clear as day. She knew what to do and how to get the two from the past in her grasp. As she hurried down the hallway, a voice called out behind her. "Empress, one of them is here! He is waiting for you in the throne room!" a servant called out to O-Ren. She smiled brightly at this.
The servant came and bowed before her. "Very well, escort me there servant." she ordered. "Very well, Empress." He held out his arm and lead her to the throne room. Upon arriving at the throne room. Vegeta was pacing the room impatiently. O-Ren came from the side and gracefully took her seat on her throne. She looked down at the agitated Prince and smiled amused. Vegeta stopped and glared at her through slitted eyes of anger.
"O-Ren?" he gruffly asked. She nodded. "Welcome to my Throne Room Prince Vegeta of all Saiyans." Vegeta got in his fighting stance. "Vile creature! What did you do to the Boy!" O-Ren raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What Boy?" "Don't play dumb with me bitch! The one's whom name is Trunks. What did you do to him! The stupid Woman is in tears and I don't want to hear her bitching anymore than she has to! So what the fuck did you do to him!" Vegeta spat at her in utter fury.
O-Ren narrowed her eyes. "If you are a Prince, then act like one. Vulgar behavior and obscenities is not allowed in my presence. I have a reputation and you will do well not to offend me. Address me properly by Empress O-Ren, do you understand?" she warned him. Vegeta snorted in disgust. "You are just as foolish as the baka Woman! Do you honestly think I'll listen to a damn word you say?" Vegeta stuck his nose up in the air at her threat to him.
O-Ren nodded to her guards. They came up to him and brought him to his knees. Vegeta tried to struggle, but they overpowered him. O-Ren pulled a stick from her hip and descended the steps to the kneeling Prince. "Do not tempt me Great Prince of all Saiyans. I do not like getting my hands filthy, but I will if you continue to disobey me." She pressed a button on the end of the stick. A giant electrical whip appeared from the other end of it and she smiled cruelly. "You know, I used this on my Hybrid Slave last night. He never cries, but I bet you will." Vegeta glared up at her. "Take him to the cells to cool off." She returned the whip to her hip in satisfaction.
-Trunks And Family!-
Bulma listened to every word Sanshi explained to her. Trunks was kidnapped at a young age by O-Ren. Venux, his mate or wife, Bulma found out was given to him as a pleasure slave. He never used her or did anything to her Mother. In the end, they both fell in love and Sanshi was the result. Trunks is O-Ren's slave and the whole reason O-Ren and Shendowx thrived and owned the whole universe. O-Ren had power over Trunks and he could never go against her.
"And so we have to listen to what O-Ren says or she will hurt me and Mom." Sanshi got done explaining. Bulma looked at her hands in her lap in silence. This poor man, a lave to an abusive god complex tyrant. He was much like Vegeta. It made her want to cry. "May I see him?" Bulma softly asked. "Sure. He's awake and comfortable now. In fact, he sent me out here to talk to you." Venux entered the living room as she heard the question.
Sanshi and Bulma looked up and Bulma stood to go see Trunks. Venux told her it was the door at the end of the hall. Bulma found herself standing in front of it. So much was going through her mind at this point. She had so many questions to ask, yet he just went through hell. Perhaps this wasn't' the best time to confront him and just as she was about to turn her tail and run, the door suddenly opened.
Bulma jumped back in surprise. Trunks laid against the pillows, bandaged up, and his hand in the air glowing a soft hue of blue. "Bulma, you came. Please come in?" he asked smiling from in the bed. Bulma timidly nodded and went inside his room. With a wave of his hand, Trunks softly closed the door. "How can you do that?" Bulma asked. She went and took a seat on the edge of his bed, since he patted the spot next to him. "I have been all over this universe. Different planets, different cultures around here. You can learn a lot." he smiled sincerely.
Bulma nodded in agreement. She couldn't speak as she lost her voice in his presence. "Vegeta leave?" Trunks after he got sick of the sudden silence. Bulma nodded yes. "He needed to go think. He usually does that if he is not happy about things…which is all the time for him." Bulma commented. Then again there was that disturbing silence. "Bulma, just because I'm beat up badly doesn't mean I can't answer your questions. If you have something on your mind that you want to ask, then ask. I promise, I'm not cruel." Trunks assured her with one of his smiles.
Bulma looked away from him and let out a small sigh. "Why? Why are you risking your life for us? You have a family and you could be killed if they find us here." Bulma softly spoke. Trunks nodded at this. "True, but they need me. Besides, what's the worst they can do to me that they haven't all ready done to me?" he chuckled. Bulma looked at him and couldn't bring herself to smile. "How can you laugh at this? This is no joking matter. Why are you helping us? What do you get from it?" Trunks reached out and gently touched her hand. He took it in his own and gently rubbed it. They both looked at each other, Identical eyes of azure staring at the other. Bulma felt waves of love, yet sadness wash over her. She felt connected to him somehow.
"Because, we are connected you and I. I can't go into anymore further detail than that. Your life effects my own." he told her. "But how?" Bulma asked. "I can't tell you. It will effect your future. But do not worry about it; I just want you to know you can trust me. I will protect you with my own life if I have to." he told her looking into the depths of her identical eyes. Bulma did not know what how to take what he said, so she did nothing but accept it and trust the young man named Trunks.
She let out a small smile and gently leaned forward to hug him. "Thank you." she whispered in his ears as their arms encircled each other in a hug. And at that moment, something hit Trunks. He could sense his Father and O-Ren in the same room. He could feel his Father's rage. Then he knew it would be a matter of moments before O-Ren sent someone to collect his family. Trunks was too weak at this point to do anything. He quickly pulled from Bulma.
"Bulma, I don't want to alarm you, but we are going to have to leave right now." he gently told her in a calm voice. Bulma could only respond with a puzzled look. "Trunks, what are you talking about?" She didn't get her answer as suddenly the door opened. Sanshi and Venux rushed into the room. "We got the capsules and our things." Venux told him. "Okay Sanshi, remember the drill?" Trunks asked his Daughter. "Dad, I know. We have been over this a bajillion times." Sanshi told him. Trunks held onto Bulma. Sanshi grabbed her Father's other arm and Venux touched her Daughter's shoulder.
Bulma gazed around confusedly. Before she even got to open her mouth, they had disappeared. Bulma closed her eyes tightly and gripped onto Trunks. She felt the world spin and butterflies filled her stomach, such as that of going down a hill or on a roller coaster ride. Suddenly the feeling vanished as she slowly opened her eyes to the surrounding of the cave.
"Wh-what? Where are we!" Bulma cried as she jumped from the bed Trunks rested upon. "Bulma, calm down. It's all right. We are safe." Venux told her as she began to pull out the capsule box. She found the one she wanted and popped it. Once the smoke cleared, it revealed a capsule house. Bulma was numb with shock now. They had capsules! When did this happen! "Wait…what about Vegeta?" Bulma asked. Venux and Sanshi were all ready taking Trunks from the bed and taking themselves into the house.
Bulma followed closely behind them and once again asked the question again. Venux placed Trunks on the couch. "Vegeta is…it's too late for Vegeta right now. We will get him later when he is alone." Trunks told her from where he laid. Bulma felt her heart sink. "What? Is he hurt?" Bulma asked as she went to Trunks's side. He smiled at her. Seeing his Mother worry over his Father gave him much hope.
He rested a hand on her shoulder. "Bulma, do not worry. He is in no danger. Once he is alone, Sanshi or myself will go and retrieve him. Then we will all head into the past." he told her. Bulma gave him a puzzled look. "Trunks, what do you mean?" she asked.
-Meanwhile!-
Vegeta was thrown into a cell and upon O-Ren's orders, they were to search Trunks's quarters and take his family to see O-Ren. They wasted no time busting down the door and barging in. Turning things over and wasting no time turning the whole room upside down to search for O-Ren's orders. No one was, fortunately, to be found and they tore up the room like hell.
