A Sayians Bond

Chapter 20: Leaving

Some time later, Zephyra had become a welcome, loving and loved part of everyone's life. She could give Vegeta a good run for his money while training and had grown comfortable with her new life. Her and Vegeta had become very close, running off to have sex every chance they got. Goku had become like a best friend to her and taught her to obtain Super Sayian 2.

"Vegeta?" Zephyra began as she landed next to Vegeta on the top of a very large hill side, surrounded by trees.

He turned his eyes to her. "What?"

She sighed deep. "It's time."

"What in God's name are you talking about?" He asked. His arms firmly crossed over his chest.

"I'm leaving Earth."

He turned his eyes back to the scenary. "May I ask why?"

"I believe I'm strong enough now to avenge my family."

"And?"

"Do you care?"

"Should I?"

"I'm going to miss you." He didn't say anything. He just stood there, his still eyes stayed their gaze on the trees in silence. She looked up at him. It was almost as if he didn't care. His blank face told her enough as he gazed at the surrounding scenery. Sadness began to fill her eyes. "Vegeta..."

"What?" She said nothing. He finally turned his eyes to her. "Do you want my permission or something? Why are you lingering like that?"

"Forget it..." With that, she turned and left, heading back home.

"So did you tell my dad yet?" Trunks asked Zephyra as they sat at the edge of a small lake.

Zephyra held a bag of popcorn in her hand as she sat beside Trunks. "Yeah." In the water ducks swam peacefully. "I don't think he cares whether or not I leave." She scooped up a handful of popcorn and tossed it in the water for the ducks.

"What makes you think that?" He looked over to the water and watched the ducks gobble down the food Zephyra tossed them.

"Just his reaction. He seemed kind of 'yeah, whatever' about it." She rested her elbows on her knees and looked into the water, tossing another handful of popcorn to the ducks.

"Well, I care, if it helps."

"Thanks, Trunks. At least somebody does."

"You're coming back, right?"

"Of course. I love it on Earth, you guys are my family. Plus, it's not like I have anywhere else to go. Everything I know now is here." She looked over to his blue eyes and smiled. "Unless I'm wrong about being strong enough to defeat them and they kill me." She smiled as she leaned back, stretching out her legs and propping herself up on her elbows. She turned her eyes back to the feeding ducks.

Trunks chuckled as he leaned back as well, propping himself up on one elbow, facing her. "I wouldn't worry about that."

"How come?" She turned her own blue eyes back to Trunks' once more.

"Because you're so strong now. Hardly anyone would stand a chance against the great Zephyra."

She laughed as she blushed a bit. She rarely received a compliment. "The great Zephyra, huh?" She looked back at the calm water. "What great self-glorification."

"Well, it's true. I know it doesn't seem like it compared to my father, but you are very strong."

She smiled as she turned her eyes back to Trunks. "You think so?"

"Absolutely. But you're not just a great warrior. There's so much more to you."

She chuckled and turned her eyes back to the ducks. "Yeah, sure." She didn't even try to hide her sarcasm. "You don't have to lie to make me feel better about your father being an ass."

"I mean it. You're strong and beautiful, kind and sweet." Zephyra threw her head back in laughter. "I'm serious." He brought a hand up and placed two fingers under her jaw, pulling her eyes to his. "You're breathtaking... Absolutely astonishing."

Zephyras cheeks turned bright pink as her eyes gently fluttered shut. Slowly, cautiously, Trunks moved his head forward and gently touched his lips to hers. Her lips were soft and silky against his. The two fingers he used to bring her eyes to his moved until his hand gently cupped her delicate jaw. The feel of her full lips against his made him feel alive. He'd yearned for this for a long time now.

Zephyra froze in shock at the introduction of Trunks' lips. She didn't know what to do, how to respond to the young sayians sudden show of affection. She was frozen stiff for what seemed to be an eternity.

His gentle kiss was nothing like his fathers. Vegeta had a powerful kiss that forced his young lover to succumb to his desire. A kiss that showed all of his sexual hunger, power and intensity. Trunks' kiss was tender and showed his adoration for Zephyra very clearly.

"I can't," she whispered gently as she slowly pulled her lips from his.

He sighed, lowering his head and running his fingers through his hair. "Because I'm not a full sayian?"

"It's not that anymore." She stood up and stood at the edge of the lake, facing away from him. "I've come to realize that just because you and the others aren't full Sayians, it doesn't mean you aren't as good."

He stood up as well and walked until he stood next to her. "Because you have a thing for my dad then?"

"What makes you think I have a thing for your dad?" She turned her eyes from the water and looked at him.

"It's pretty obvious. The way you look at him, the way your mood changes when you're around him or talk about him. I think everyone notices you have a crush on him." He watched her lips turn into a smile. "Yeah, that's gotta be it."

Zephyra tossed the rest of her popcorn to the ducks and turned to leave. Trunks watched her walk away from him for a moment before speaking up. "Is that it?"

She turned to face him briefly. She softly shook her head with a smile, moving her eyes down as she turned away from him one more. "Don't worry about it."

Trunks walked to her and wrapped his hand gently around her bicep. She turned to face him. Her pretty blue eyes glanced into his as she waited for him to speak. He let go of her arm and dropped his hand to his side with a sigh.

"He wont love you." He spoke gently.

"And you will?" She smiled at him as she brought a hand up a tucked a strand of his soft lavender hair behind his ear before bringing her hand to rest on his shoulder in a consolatory manner. "I'm sorry, Trunks."

She took a step towards him and laid her lips gently against his cheek. Trunks lightly closed his eyes at the feel of her soft kiss against his cheek. He lifted his arms and wrapped them around her flawless body, pulling her close. She returned his embrace, knowing she could offer little comfort for his failed attempt to be with her, and nestled her body against his.

Her body felt warm and smelled sweet. Her silky soft hair reeked of Coconut shampoo as a light breeze blew her long brown hair into his face. She turned her head to the side facing away from his and rested it against his shoulder as he turned his head towards hers and nestled his face into her neck. He held her adoringly as long as she would let him.

After Zephyra left, Trunks stood by the lake and watched the ducks finish off Zephyras popcorn. His head turned to the side when his father landed beside him and stared at the ducks. He crossed his arms over his chest before he decided to speak.

"What's up, Dad?" Trunks asked as he turned his eyes back to the water.

"Have you lost your senses?" he piratically growled.

"What?" He looked back at Vegeta.

"It would be wise to keep away from her."

"I'm tired of this. Why can't I be with her?"

He held back the urge to scream at his son, "Because she's mine! Now stay away!" Instead he settled for, "Because she doesn't need you trying to distract her while she has to train. If she does leave, the last thing she needs is to have her mind elsewhere. She'd be killed."

"I understand."

"Good."
