A.N. Wow this chapter is going to be a shocker for my main reviewer. I'm proud of my self for not giving this away. I hope you like it. Read and Review.

Night of Fire and Truth

By the time Trunks reached the fire Belaki was already there.

She was dancing around the fire in the same fluid motions he had seen the day he had met her.

She danced ever closer to the fire. The flames licking up toward her movements as if it was reaching for her, causing her shadow to sweep over the ground almost violently.

It didn't take long until she was so close to the fire that Trunks had to keep himself from running to save her. As she skin was grazed by the fire she stopped dancing and walked straight into the fire. It was as if it had called to her and she could do not but listen to its enchanting song that no other could hear.

Trunks walked forward getting barely within 15 steps of the fire and it was too hot for him to get any closer. All his skin started to burn with the he forcing him back, looking on as Belaki floated inside the flames.

The black fabric that had been shrouding her silk dress underneath was burning away. With it removed by flame she flew from the fire to stand beside Trunks.

"You have grown so much since I last saw you Trunks." She said.

"What?" Trunks whispered completely confused; he hadn't changed at all.

"Your powers have increased immensely or maybe it is because you think everything ten times over with me." She said again confusing Trunks.

"Okay then when did you see me last?" Trunks asked trying to catch on.

"Right now," She answered playfully.

Suddenly the fire lowered itself to a small campfire making the night appear so much darker.

The Belaki stepped forward; within grabbing distance.

Trunks knew this could be a sign, but he made no movement, if anyone was going to make a move it would be her.

She looked straight into his eyes forcing Trunks look into them, to see what she had hidden.

Trunks couldn't believe what he was seeing the eyes had changed from their usual blood red to a light brownish color; one could say an almost innocent honey.

"Do you remember all those questions you couldn't answer Trunks?" She whispered to his heart. "I can answer them for you."

Trunks thought hard before he came up with the perfect question. "Why aren't your ears pointed?" He hoped this would answer more then just the simple truth.

"The ears of all Ki's are pointed unless they're only part Ki."

"Yes I know, but why aren't yours pointed?" Trunks repeated.

"I am not Ki." She answered simply

"What are you then?" Trunks asked delicately, his answer seemed so obvious that he wanted to hit himself for not knowing it.

"I'm a transformer. I learn everything about the species and I can turn into it." She paused. "But... I do have a real form that combines all my strengths into one. Plus I've been told by my master that it is my most beautiful form." She smiled

"Who is your master?" Trunks asked a little shaky. She could be anyone he had talked to, anyone he had told things to. She had said she knew more about him then he knew. He was beginning to sweat in fear.

"My master is Denda, a young Namekian guardian." She answered seeing the recognition in Trunks' face. All he had to do now was put two and two together and get 22.

Once he realized who she was he looked into her eyes and allowed himself to fall into her being. He had longed so much to be with her again that he hadn't even noticed she was standing right in front of him. He felt like such an idiot.

"Hesh..." Trunks started before she leaned into his arms and kissed him. He recognized the kiss it was the one he had given everything up for. When he opened his eyes she was still there and she had changed back into the form Trunks knew as Heshema. He grabbed her and held her tight never wanting to let her go again. She leaned into him glad to feel him against her again.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Trunks asked almost crying realizing he could have had her in his arms for almost half a month now.

"You're not even supposed to know now." She whispered "Bulanvo is looking for a way to kill me and he will stop at nothing to find something or someone to bring me down. If he realized that I am your old girlfriend and lover he would be all over you." Heshema whispered into his ear as gently as she could.

Trunks couldn't hold himself back any longer he pulled her to him kissing her as he had done before. His longing getting the better of him and with his kiss the memories of her came flooding back.

They had only been together truly for a few days but in those days she had bonded to him. He remembered the strength of the feel of her mind as she had taught him; as she had caressed him. It had been her final transformation she had finally become whole and she had spend her last days in that dimension with him. He had shown her love and shattered what remained on Gero's control over her; shattered the polluted innocence and gave way to this princess… she looked into his eyes and saw how badly she had hurt him. He pulled her closer and kissed her so deeply it surprised even him.

She changed into her Ki form and leaded him up to the castle; to the room only 3 people had ever entered.

"I heard Sjocian dropped you as his pupil." She said as they walked up to her sanctuary. It seemed she was trying to cover the awkwardness with small talk. "I am going to be a sacrifice to Bulanvo soon other wise I would take you on myself." She continued to walk but after that they said nothing more. What was there to say? He had found his love again in the place he had gone to forget her, but he was too late. How could he save her now? This monster was losing the war by forfeit but he was taking the only thing that mattered.

In Trunks's mind Bulanvo had won before he could even think otherwise.

A.N. From now on the name game gets a little difficult always remember Heshema is the Belaki. In the Ki world people don't use each others names. It is a power issue to know someones name. Belaki is Heshema's rank thus her 'name'. Just like Trunks will never use his old masters name even though he was told it. This makes it complicated to write with the two names available.
