I take another drag on my cigarette. The suns glare hurting my eyes as I sit beneath the tree. It isn't much cover. I gently touch my swollen cheek and eye. Anger fills me once again. I care that grandpa left, but you don't see me taking it out on my family. He hits me. When he feels like it, or when he thinks I need it. I bet he even beats mom. She is human! Does he even understand that?! Her body is fragile! I can feel Vegeta behind me. I can smell the stench of sweat on him. He must have just come out of the Gravity room. He taps me on the shoulder so I turn around to face him. Then he steals my cigarette. "What the hell Vegeta?!"

"It isn't becoming of a warrior," He looks over my wounds. "What happened to your eye?" I could see the concern in his eyes. Vegeta was like a father to me, but he couldn't know what was happening.

"I was sparring with Goten and I didn't have a sensu." I watch him keeping my face emotionless. To my great displeasure he kept pestering me.

"Don't lie to me, Onna. I can see through them. Just tell me. If it has anything to do with your boyfriend, I won't kill him. You have my word."

"You wouldn't understand, Vegeta. I'll handle it by myself."

"You have been act strangely since Kakarot left. So obviously you can't handle it. So tell me. I will help you." Before I could say anything my cell phone rings. All I hear is a woman crying on the other line.

"Mom? Mom?! Are you okay?!" There is no answer making me worry. "I'll be home in a second!" Hanging up the phone I look at Vegeta. "I'll call you later, after I see what's going on." I take off toward home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10 minutes later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Running into the house slamming the door behind me. I hear sobs coming from the living room and run toward it. As I enter the doorway I see my mother lying naked on the floor. She was curled up in a ball. Sobbing like there was no tomorrow. Her small body was covered in bruises and bled from bite marks and scratches. I grabbed the blanket of the couch and wrapping it around her as I picked her up. "It'll be ok. We're going to Bulma's" I shut up as I hear footsteps.

"Aww...how cute, a bitch reunion. So where has my own little Panny been hmm?" I clutched Mom closer to me. Then a blow to the back of my head sent my body flying. I dropped my mother in a heap as a flew in to sofa toppling it. She crawled under a coffee table sobbing. "Where the fuck were you?!"

"I was at Capsule Corp."

"So you are fucking Trunks or is it Vegeta?!" the back of his hand connects with my face. Falling on my backside I turn to try to get away to no avail. A steel toe boot comes and sends me into the wall. I lay there holding my mouth as blood flowed and bubbled up my throat. I hear him stalk his way back toward me and he grabs by my tail lifting my body up by it. "So, Whore, which was it Vegeta or Trunks?" Spiting blood onto his pant leg as the answer. He tightened his grip causing the world to darken for a moment. "You need to understand you are MINE and I will kill you before you taint your self with the likes of them!" He roared at her raising his fist. He was about to pound me into the next dimension when a familiar ki was coming in his direction. I feel him moving through the house hanging there immobile. A door opens and I start to swing, he's throwing me down the basement stairs. The door slams as I tumble to the bottom if the stairs a click means he's locked it. Darkness flooded my vision.

Gohan turned back toward the living room, anger still rolling off him in waves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~30 minutes later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I knew my ribs and my left arm were broken. I let my eyes adjust to the dark looking for the regen tank. I see it in the far corner and crawl toward it. After about 5 minutes I finally reach it. Opening the doors and getting it hurt so much. I put the mask on as I shut the door. The healing waters surrounds me, and soon darkness accompanies it.
