"The Saiyajin's Secret"


~*She walks along the shore of the lake, the wind tousling her silken blonde hair, one hand already at the rightside of her face, in a vain attempt to keep the hair out of her piercing ice blue eyes. Her feet are barefooted as she crosses over the dark wet sand, and she wears nothing but a red and orange bikini and a thin white sweat-jacket overtop it. She doesn't really seem to be waiting for anyone, or have any destination in mind, she's just aimlessly strolling along the shores. The moonlight is wan and reflects deathly on her pale skin. Except for visuale, she is ''invisble'', as she has no detetable aura, or ki for that matter. However, she makes no effort to hide or mask her presence.*~

~*She doesn't wear any readable expression on her face as to what she might be thinking, but its obvious her thoughts are invert and not extrovert as she doesn't pay attention to the icy cold lake water washing over her feet or to the frigid ar which is only shelthered by the thin jacket-sweater over her bikini. She sort of weaves in and out of the tide, still on the shore, but not really caring where her legs lead her. She can always get back no matter where she goes. She pauses, a moment, looking at the sand beneath her toes, then up at the cresant moon, and ahead into the black night. She closes her eyes a moment, lettng the wind chill her ivory skin and sighs, not that she needs air, but its a habit she picked up. Eventually, she begins walking again.*~

~*She keeps walking, along the shore, and crosses her arms about her waist, almost a sign of nsecurty, though it isn't really. Just another of her rotten habits. She tosses her head, her right hand unable to keep the hair from the wind blowing it into her eyes again. She shrugs her shoulders, and tosses her head again. She stops then, and uncrosses her arms and tucks her har under her ear again, showng no sign of frusteraton, though t might would seem evident*~

~*She pauses a moment, in her actions while she's stopped walking a short moment, and listens. The crashing lake water waves, the chirps of insects and birds. And . . . something else. She tunes her ear, tryng to dicpher it, but it's too muffled and too blurred with the rest of the night sound to dentiy. She blows her bangs out of her face with a breath of unneeded air, and starts to walk again*~

~*She pauses again, as if sensing something this time. She looks over her right shoulder, back across the desolte beach. Her ice blue eyes scan the beach a moment longer, then she drops her arms, and udjuts the whte sweat-jacket over her bikini. She narrows her eyes, then turns slowly, and proceeds walking again, eyes on the glstening sand beneth her feet*~

Trunks: *Sudenly there is a jacket over your shoulders and he is walking beside you* "... you'll get cold..." *looks down trying to look annoyed*

#18: ~*Freezes as the jacket it placed over her shoulders, and his voice facelessly comes to her. He had concealed his ki so she hadn't sensed his approach. She wriggles her shoulders, and the jacket fell off. Icly, without looking at him, just looking ahead, she growls*~ "Jinzouningen feel neither warmth nor cold. You're attempt is futile at best."

Trunks: *Picks up the jacket and looks at it looking more annoyed* "Thats right... sometimes I forgot your a cold blooded machine." *Frowns* "You look human... sometimes...." *takes the jacket and throws it over his shoulder*

#18: "How could you forget something like that, Saiyajin?" ~*She questions, her arms slipping about her waist, crossing as they do. She still hasn't resumed walking, her back still to him*~ "I am half-human . . . which would account for my . . . apperance." ~*She drops into silence*~

Trunks: *Frowns at being called Saiyajin* "I HAVE A NAME YOU KNOW!!!" *Calms down* "I'm not numbered like you androids! And you not only look human you act human... its only when I talk to you that I remember... what you really are." *looks up into the stars*

#18: ~*She glances at him from the corner of her eye, seeing him glancing at the stars*~ "Very well then . . . TRUNKS." ~*She spits, then looks forward*~ "I do not act human, and my NAME is Juuhachi-Gou." ~*She narrows her eyes at nothing*~ "Did you have a purpose for coming, or was it sheerly to annoy me?"

Trunks: *Frowns again* "Fine... I don't stay where I'm not wanted!" *walks away further ahead of you and sits down in the sand and looks out at nothing*

#18: ~*She stands where she is, watching him go sit in the sand. She runs her fingers through her hair*~ "That's awfully contraditory, Saiy- . . ." ~*Pauses, then just lets it drop. She glances out at the shimmering lake in the wan moonlight, and remains where she stands, arms crossed, looking out*~

Trunks: *Looks out over the water then turns head slightly looking at you but trying to not look as if staring, looks at you and remembers killing you and finding no joy in it, wispers* "...I just don't understand..."

#18: ~*Tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, and looks at him, and then recrosses her arms, looking up at the moon.*~ "Perhaps you're not supposed to understand."

Trunks: "What?" *feels dumb cause you heard him* "what would you know anout understanding? All you know is what you were told to do!" *Frowns* *looks down still feeling dumb*

#18: ~*Laughs darkly*~ "Ha! Is THAT what you think? I fear I've credited you with too much knowledge then! I do as am programmed, for that, I've no choice, when Gero reprogrammed Juunana-Gou and I, we wired us to him, so if we killed him, we'd selfdestruct too. You wouldn't know that though, you selfish little prick." ~*She scoffes, and narrows her eyes at him*~ "All you see is what you don't understand, and what you don't understand scares you.

"Well, I'll tell you what, I didn't want to have to kill you so much, but it was survival of the fitest. Kill or be killed, so I did. And I had fun. Jnzouningen do have remorse, but I wasn't about to have it for some pathetic Saiyajin like you. ~*She shakes her head, turning away*~ You should have stayed on that other world, boy." ~*She mutters*~

Trunks: *Stands and takes his sword and puts it to your head just enough to cut the skin a little* "Lets get something straight... I didn't come here to find you, I thought I left you and the other androids dead in my time. I killed you and that little freak Freeza, I enjoyed killing him, but you were different... you didn't seem..." *shakes his head*

"It doesn't matter. I killed you once and I'll do it again if you force me to, but I'll find no pleasure in it just as I didn't before." *takes sword away and flies into the air and hovers there loking out over the forest and water with his arms crossed*

#18: ~*Seeths, and touches her skin where the sword contacted her, and looks at her fingers. She rubs them together, smearing the blood on them. She looks back up at Trunks again, where he flies above the lake and trees. She clenches her fists, and then just snaps and turns, and stalks on down the beach, away from the Tavern in no particular direction, knowing she needs to let him live to kill Cell for her again*~ "Kuso . . ."

Trunks: *almost as if he knows what your thinking* "Mabey you can kill Cell by yourself! Maby I won't help a mindless, compasionless machine... maby I'll let him absorbe you and then destroy him with the others!" *Frown* "Do you like that?" *Says this loud enough that you can hear*

#18: "Na, are you willing to take the chansu (chance) Trunks!? You know if he absorbs Juunana-Gou and I, he'll be vastly more powerful. You're strong enough to kill me now, but do you really think you could kill Cell after he's absorbed us?" ~*She laughs at him darkly*~ "I wouldn't get too high of expectations, Saiyajin. You might just find your illusions crashing down around you in the real run." ~*She pauses and then cocks her head to the side looking at him, almost wistfully*~ "And . . . I don't think you'll kill me now . . . not that you've seen how I turn out after the Cell Game on that other world . . ." ~*More confidently*~ "No, you won't kill me now. Not again, will you?"

Trunks: *Flies down and lands a foot away* "I'd kill you now if it surved a purpose... but it doesn't. By killing you I could save a lot of good people... but I won't. You want me dead? Then try it." *takes his sword out and hands it to you* "But there's one thing I want before you try and kill me."

#18: ~*She smiles as she reaches out and takes ahold of the hilt of the sword he offers to her, and holds it, the tip in the sand, it almost too big for her to weild. She raises her eyes to look at him*~ "And what would that " one thing" be, Saiyajin?"

Trunks: "This..." *walks over to you close eyes looking at you more warmly and kisses you not just a kiss for nothing but possibly for a hope that past wrongs will never again happen again and also possibly a feeling from the kiss. Breaks off and walks back some and puts his hands is a fighting stance eyes once again cold and narrow* "thats it..."

#18: ~*Stands solidly at the kiss, then narrows her eyes as he breaks and backs up. She touches her lips with her free hand, then drops the hand to grasp the hilt of the sword, and raises the weapon, looking at him*~ "I don't pretend to understand your human antics, Saiyajin, but if that is your idea of fnalizng our ''truce'' need I remind you again, that once we defeat Cell, you're next on my list?"

~*She holds the sword, slightly glinting in the pale light, then looks at the blade, where a touch of her blood dries. She flicks her eyes back to him, walks forward and holds the blade to his cheek, so it cuts the flesh as well*~ "I'd advise you to put aside any ''feelings'' you have for me Saiyajin. I'm twice your senior and not interested in ~humans~." ~*She draws the sword away, and takes a step backwards, holding the weapon point down again, and casts her eyes to the lower left, looking at the glsitening white sand*~

Trunks: *Frowns* "I have no feelings for a machine that can't feel, can't love, can't hold compassion!" *Frowns more* "And I don't have any intensions of having anything to do with you once we defeat Cell." *touches your neck where the blood is and then his cheek where his blood is* "Blood for blood... is that all you ever think of, revenge?" *holds hand out for the sword*

#18: ~*Forces herself not to just swing the blade and slice his arm off right there. She hefts the sword up and hands it back to him*~ "No, its not." ~*That's all she says, and then takes a step back, crossing her arms*~

Trunks: *Places the sword easily back in its sheath* "Its not huh?" *Frowns* "I see nothing more from you. Just cold hard vengence and no freedom." *looks at you eyes more wide and compashionet, with just a little bit of sympathy*

#18: "Why should I bear my emotions to someone like ~you~?"

Trunks: *Looks at you* "You see me as just something thats less then you, something that doesn't deserve to live. Mabey I think the same way about your kind too, but maby I've been thinking things over too. I can't comprehend the reason I feel anything for you... I could see all the other androids burn and not feel a thing, but not you.

"And that frightens me, not the face that I feel for you... but the face that I don't know why and that I think you would kill me at the slightest chance... yet I still feel for you. I know nothing will come of this and that ultimately we will fight and one will die. I won't let it be me but I don't want to kill you. Why should you share your emotions with me? Maby because I just shared mine with you... or maby you shouldn't tell me anything. *Frowns* Mabey I don't care." *looks at you coldly again and turns his back to you faceing the other way*

#18: ~*Studies his back a long time, the conture of his shoulder blade, the curve of his spine and the hair cut so neatly about the nape of his thick neck. She tenses in the small of her back, and then reaches out, and gently trails her nimble fingers from behind his right earlobe, down the back of hs neck, and then back up the other side, gently brushng through the hair. She takes a step closer, and though she's shorter than him, its not so much, and she, in a soft voice says*~ "Jinzouningen and humans don't mix, Trunks." ~*She breaths, then steps away, dropping her hands, and clasping the behind her. She adds in an equally soft voice*~ "Perhaps were the circumstances different . . . but . . . have my . . . reasons." ~*Raises her eyes, to see if he turns around*~

Trunks: *Eyes close at the feel of your fingers on my neck and swallows lightly. Hears your words and for some reason knew what you were going to say... only not in such a way. Sighs and turns to face you. Frowns* "For some reason I know this and I'll accept it... I'll be here for you when Cell next comes after you... you have my word." *Sighs and walks into the woods*

#18: ~*Her ''scowl'' returns as she watches him leave, and she touches the nic on her throat, and then raises her eyes to the sky, then back to his retreating form. Softly.*~ "Jya ne, Trunks-san."

Trunks: *Stops and turns looking back at you, eyes not cold just confused and sad in a way, just watches not saying anything*

#18: ~*Looks at him watching her, and the wind blows again, and she tucks one strand of hair behind her ear, and studies him in return, waiting to see what he does*~

Trunks: *Keeps watching then moves closer and takes off his jacket and puts it over your shoulders again and brushes the hair from your eyes* "I don't care what you say... human or android... its cold. You can give me back my jacket when we meet again." *smiles only slightly for a second, not wanting to let you think that he is happy*

#18: ~*Looks up at him, and then down at the jacket and nods*~ "Alright then, if it's what pleases you." ~*She contorts her body slightly, and puts her arms through the warm sleeves, then recrosses them, she doesn't look back up*~

Trunks: "It does..." *Smiles slightly* *turns and walks away toward the lake as the wind blows over his shoulders*

#18: ~*Glances up at him, as he walks back towards the lake. She keeps her head slightly bowed, but her eyes follow him, tracing his path. She glances to the distance, suddenly aware of PICCOLO [who had been watching from afar for some time], and she smirks, knowing the Namekseijin is probablly baffled by this confrontation between herself and Trunks. She looks back to the demi-Saiyajin.*~

Trunks: *He walks back to you again and smiles, brushes his fingers across your cheek lightly and brushes the hair from your eyes and makes his way to the tavern* "Farwell... Juuhachi-Gou..."

#18: ~*Swallows, and then nods, watching him leave*~ "Sayonara."
