Chapter 1:

All my life I have been different. I was stronger than everyone else and I looked different. I came to Earth at the age of seven. I don't remember what happened before then and I don't think I want to know.

After watching the inhabitants for a time, I learned how to change my form to look like them. It wasn't much different from my natural form, I just had to change my skin color from green to peach and I had to hide my tail. I left my green hair alone because many earthlings had their hair dyed that color.

I have stayed in my disguise for eight years. Living among the humans. A kind couple adopted me; their daughter had been my age and had died a few months before they found me in the woods. I have almost forgotten what it was like to be in my natural form. I have accepted my life as one of the humans.

But despite all of this, I still wish I could understand what happened to me before coming to Earth. Every once in a while, I will receive an image of a man, an alien who looks like me somewhat. Then I would see another, a lizard. After that, everything is blank.

Then one day, I had a dream about my life. At the time, I thought it was just my imagination, but I soon found out otherwise.

~I was four years old. My father was Zarbon, a henchman of Frieza. That day I looked out of my room to see a young boy about my age being dragged down the hallway, biting and screaming the whole time. My father pulled me into the room and told me that he wanted to talk to me.

"Zena, please listen to me. I know that you don't know who your mother was. She died giving birth to you. She was a Saiya-jin. Did you see that boy that was dragged down the hall?"

When I nodded my head, he continued.

"That was the prince of the Saiya-jins. I want you to stay away from him. If he ever found out about you, he would want to kill you. Saiya-jins don't approve of crossbreeds. They believe that their blood should always remain pure. If he should ever see your tail, he would know that it is a Saiya-jin tail. If he found out that I was your father, he would hate you even more. From now on, I want you to wear baggy clothes in public, large shirts or skirts that will hide your tail. Do you understand?" I was still confused, but I agreed. "Good. Now go to bed." With that he picked me up and set me in the bed.~

I awoke that night in a cold sweat. `What was that? Who was that?' Little did I know that soon I would find out more than I ever wanted to.

The next night, I had another dream.

~"Please Lord Frieza! I beg of you! Let my daughter stay here!" my father cried out to his master.

"Zarbon, she has distracted you from your work for the last time! I'm sending her away, and that's final!"

It had been three years since I had first seen Vegeta. I was now seven. I didn't really understand what was going on, but I knew that I would be taken from my daddy. Later that same day, Daddy put me into a space pod and told me goodbye.

I awoke to smoke filling my lungs. I coughed as I tried to get to my door, but was blocked by the flames. Suddenly, a bright light filled the room, and I blacked out.~

Author's note:

Dear faithful readers of Aiya's,

Hi, my name is Karete (ca-reet) and I am going to be continuing Aiya's story, `A Lost Love', from now on. Aiya has kindly let me adopt the story and I hope that it doesn't put anyone off reading it.

I will continue with her original idea of making this a Trunks romance piece. As she stated on her original post:

THIS IS NOT A SELF-INSERTION!

And it will never be one. Some original characters, yes, but no-one who resembles either Aiya or myself (except by accident because I have no idea what Aiya looks like). Of course in tribute to the original author maybe Aiya could walk past in the background or something.

I hope that Aiya will keep in touch with me so if the direction I take is not what was originally intended, I can change or work around it.

For those of you reading this in mm.org all of Aiya's other stories are posted on ff.net. `A Lost Love' was inspired by the story Other Worldly Affairs by V. C Wolfwood. The address to that story is:

http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=933245&chapter=1 (sorry Aiya, I stole that from your original Author's note)

Reviews are the most welcome thing on the face of the planet. I need them to give my muses inspiration otherwise they cough, splutter and die or take it out on my brothers (not that I'm complaining mind you).

Shameless advertising: `Another Time' (PG-13) by Karete-chan (ff.net and mm.org)

`Only the Weak' (NC-17) by Karete-chan (mm.org)

I hope you enjoy. Ja ne,

Karete
