Chapter Three

‘Air! I need air! Where’s the air?! I need air!’ Sansai heard glass breaking, and felt a warm substance flow down her wrist and arm. Sansai opened her eyes slowly, and found that she was in a crystal sarcophagus of some sort. Her knuckles and hand was bleeding, and she immediately began to heal herself.

Sansai sat up quickly scratching her arms with remaining sharp glass. She then stood up and she found out that she was still in her blue pajamas. Sansai looked around fearfully, and realized that she was in Bulma’s laboratory. Sansai calmed down a bit, Videl and Gohan must have freaked over her having nightmares again and Bulma probably put her in a safeguard sarcophagus. Sansai jumped down off the table that held the crystal sarcophagus, then Sansai walked into a hallway and opened the first doorway she found.

It was Bulma’s bedroom and Sansai found her closet. She then picked out simple clothes, a yellow shirt with white bubble words reading Capsule Corp., and a pair of light blue jeans. Sansai then walked out of the room and went down the hallway to find the living room where Trunks and Bra was lying on the floor in front of the television.

"Look Trunks. It’s the news about that robbery Sansai and Pan stopped." Bra pointed to the picture where Sansai was standing over Pan’s fallen body and another picture where her Ki blast was forming in her right hand.

"Can’t believe Pan was shot though. I never thought that a gun could almost destroy a saiyan." Trunks replied. Sansai held back her tears of joy, but as she was going to say something she quickly drew back into the shadows. A girl about the same age as her walked in with three glasses of lemonade. She had wavy brown hair and bright green eyes, she was stern looking, and Sansai could tell that she was a martial artist.

"Thanks." Bra took a glass from her and sipped it hungrily. Trunks took a glass from the plate without saying anything and continued to watch the television.

"Who’s that nutcase?" she asked as she sat next to Trunks, indicating Sansai assailing the robbers.

"For your information, Takeshi, that is my girlfriend and you better keep your mouth shut before I blow your—" Bra clamped her hand over his mouth.

"That’s my Trunks." Sansai whispered silently to herself, smirking.

"Well, she’s surely a brave one." Takeshi rested her hand in the middle of his back, and Trunks didn’t even bother removing it. Sansai fumed, and controlled her sensation on blasting the three of them. Bra glared at Takeshi.

"Trunks…" Takeshi began. "Will you come with me to the kitchen and help me with…uh…a heavy package?" Takeshi rubbed her hand down his spine.

"Sure why not? I’ll have to do it eventually." Trunks sighed and rolled his eyes as he got up, and he followed Takeshi into the kitchen.

"I’ll show them!" Sansai stepped out of the shadows, and Bra gasped with amazement and she leapt to her feet before Sansai could go any further, she blocked her way to the kitchen.

"Don’t go in there, Sansai. Trunks is not with Takeshi if that’s what you’re thinking." Bra said firmly.

"Oh, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Get out of my way Bra." Sansai looked sternly in Bra’s eyes, and Bra found traces of sadness locked deep in Sansai’s blue eyes.

"I know you’re hurt, I know that you’re angry, I know that you want to kill Takeshi but you can’t!" Bra hurriedly pushed Sansai onto the couch.

"I am not hurt I just want to teach them a lesson."

"Yeah, teach them a lesson on something they don’t need to learn! Trunks is not with her, she loves him but he loves you." Bra sat next to Sansai.

"Then why? Why did he even go in there?" Sansai let depression enter her voice, and then she stood up and peeked into the kitchen. There was Takeshi forcing Trunks to try and kiss her, and then Trunks backed up. But Takeshi kept persisting on going out with her since Sansai kept blacking out, having nightmares, and getting sick. Then Trunks brushed away a strand on her cheek a little too affectionately, and before Sansai saw what he did next she replied, "I can’t take this." Sansai told Bra, as tears found their lifelong paths down her cheeks, and she blasted through the ceiling with such a power that it threw Bra into a nearby wall. Trunks ran out of the kitchen and saw the ceiling and Bra slammed against the wall.

"What happened? That was Sansai wasn’t it?"

"YES THAT WAS SANSAI YOU IDIOT! SHE LEFT CRYING BECAUSE YOU WERE IN THERE MESSING AROUND WITH TAKESHI! WHO WOULDN’T TEAR OUT OF THE HOUSE LIKE THAT?" Bra screeched and rubbed her left arm.

"I’m going after her, it was me who started this and it is I who will end this." Trunks powered up and sped out of the remaining hole in the ceiling.


Trunks followed Sansai’s remaining trail, and he sped up more so that he could actually keep up with her. She wasn’t even super saiyan and yet she still is faster then ever! Sansai landed in a clearing by a small creek, and she knelt down next to it. Trunks hid behind an oak tree a few feet from her, and he watched her as she wept.

Sansai wept as she played the image over and over in her mind, vowing to destroy Trunks the minute she sees him. Suddenly she stopped crying as she felt the odd sensation of the wickedness of Lord Shinja. ‘How could he be here?’ She asked in bewilderment. Sansai looked around but could find nobody there, and then she looked at her reflection and her heart flipped of fear. It was Lord Shinja standing right next to her!

"What do you want?" She asked him. Sansai stood and furiously wiped away the tears.

"I’ve come to see how you are doing. I saw how Trunks and Takeshi was in the kitchen. You know he never really loved you." Lord Shinja shook his head pathetically.

"You lie! He does! He just doesn’t know how to show it." Sansai felt a lump in her throat forming.

"See for yourself." Lord Shinja wiped his hand in the air, and a window of some sort appeared with Trunks and Takeshi in it. They were in a park, hand in hand, and they were eating ice cream and laughing. Trunks wiped ice cream off Takeshi’s cheek, and then she kissed him. ‘No! It’s not true! It can’t be true!’

"You’re lying! He would never do that!" but for a very odd reason, she began to slowly believe him.

"Sansai, trust me." Lord Shinja had sympathy in his eyes for the very first time since she had seen him. "Trunks and Takeshi were made for each other, and he hid it from you since the very first time you opened your eyes when you had the typhoid fever."

"How did you know that?" Sansai asked suspiciously.

"I know many things…and I know that Trunks never loved you. Trust me Sansai, you must trust me!" Lord Shinja spoke with harshness, but the words seemed to sink into her mind. ‘Trunks never loved you.’ The words echoed in her mind as she seen the scenes play over and over. ‘Trunks never loved you…Trunks never loved you…Trunks never loved you…TRUNKS NEVER LOVED YOU!’

"NO!" Sansai let her very heart out, letting all the power release inside of her and her pain was greater then anything. Sansai felt in the middle of her heart something disconnect, and her hair blinked furiously of golden yellow, and her eyes blinked repeatedly back to green then blue. And then, like before, something held her back, something that didn’t belong, something that should have never been born. But she ignored it, she ignored everything, she ignored the fact that she was blinded that Lord Shinja had used her pain and depression to try and release the Darkness.

Lord Shinja laughed as Sansai turned into a Super Saiyan, and laughed evilly as her aura went to gold to black then back again. Her eyes went from green to black and then back to green and before her "transformation" were complete; she stopped her energy flow. Lord Shinja stopped laughing abruptly.

"What are you doing? You had all the power in the world and yet you ignored it? You ignored the feeling of ‘power’?" Lord Shinja gaped at her.

"Shinja! You can leave me alone now." Sansai didn’t seem normal, Sansai had a dazed look and her eyes kept going unfocused. Something was controlling her.

"What?!"

"Leave me be Shinja. Even in my second life you came after me and haunted me. I had enough! Your wrath of evilness will be destroyed, and my soul will rest in peace after two hundred years of yearning. The King of the Heavens will punish you, and you will forever rot in Hell!" Sansai’s body trembled as the unknown being controlled her body. Trunks remained hidden, frozen to the spot. It seemed roots were implanted to his feet and they were too strong for him to break free.

"Now I remember you…Tenkou. You almost destroyed me once, and it will never happen again! Your heart and soul may be reincarnated in Sansai’s body, but Sansai has her own mind and she may choose to do whatever she pleases. She’s fighting right now for consciousness and yet you still won’t give in. Keep this up and she will know who she really is, and you will be forced to show your true self once again!" Shinja laughed wickedly.

"My heart and soul is Sansai, my mind is Sansai. Our minds our combined, but I hide the truth from her. I will reveal her true identity in time and I will come forth to destroy you once again." The woman stared at Shinja. "My name is Sansai Idaten Kago Sakaki Kajin. I am the reincarnation of the beautiful, sacred, guardian of heaven, earth, and man whom gives divine protection to all that have faith in me. I protect the weak and the innocent and I destroy the wicked and evil. I end people’s suffering and fear; I am the ultimate guardian of heaven, earth, and man. I am the Queen of the Heavens and you are returning back to the abyss from which you came." Tenkou, the obsessed woman, put her hands in front of her. They glowed an amazingly bright white light and Lord Shinja disappeared screaming and uttering the words of, "Then how come you won’t end Sansai’s suffering?"

The words stung her; she was wondering the same thing herself but the King of the Heavens forbidden it. In time she will tell Sansai about the Sacred Being, in time. The obsessed woman went into hiding until she would be called upon to save the life of Sansai once again.


Sansai collapsed on the grass next to the creek, and she felt something reconnect to her heart, and arms wrapping around her tightly. Something wet touched her cheeks and lips; she licked her lips unintentionally and felt the familiar taste of the saltiness of tears. Sansai cracked her eyelids a fraction of an inch, and her ears became more alert to what the mumbling was all about.

"I love you Sansai…don’t leave me! I was never with Takeshi! She wanted to get with me but I refused! She persisted, but then I refused even more and I made her unconscious before I heard you leaving…I love you Sansai! Don’t leave me…I never left you from the moment I met you. I never went to the park with Takeshi, that was a lie!" It was Trunks, Sansai realized. It was Trunks apologizing to her when she was nearing her very death. But somehow death seemed to give you more energy, and her vision was clearer and so was her hearing. ‘Curious how death can give you so much power’, she thought to herself.

"Sansai don’t leave me!" Trunks wept and trembled with sorrow and grief. Sansai moved her lips and words formed.

"I will never leave you." her eyes opened, and Trunks smiled and cried with pure joy. "I will never leave you." she repeated.

"Sansai…I have to tell you this and it’s from the bottom of my very heart. I will love you always and forever." Trunks pressed his lips upon hers, and Sansai was filled with bliss, and she enjoyed it every passing second for she wasn’t able to feel such delight in a very long time. Trunks broke the kiss to smile at her, but then Sansai blacked out.
