Chapter 1

"Capsule Corporation." Yukiko smoothed her fingers over the letters on the cover of the book. She heard a knock on her bedroom door and quickly hid it under her pillow. "Come in" she called out while sitting up on the edge of her bed.

"Yuki-Chan, can I speak with you for a moment?"

"Yes, of course Sister Izumi."

Izumi sat her plump body next to Yukiko and grabbed hold of her hand. She smiled sadly at the young girl she had come to love as her own. "Yuki, I received a call today from the head of the church council. I was informed that you are to leave the orphanage within two weeks. I tried to convince them to let you stay a bit longer, but they refused as we need the space for another little one, and they have not received any funding for you since you turned eighteen. We simply can't afford to keep supporting you, as you are old enough to find a job now.

Yukiko knitted her brows. "I don't understand Sister? I was left on the doorstep and they took me in, no problem. Why do I have to leave for someone else to come?"

Izumi sighed at the young girl's naivety. It was partly her fault for always sheltering her from the outside world. "Yuki-Chan, eighteen years ago we never had so many orphans. A lot has changed since then and the government has become very strict about how many kids they will aide, unfortunately they stop all funds the day you turn eighteen. You are a young adult now, old enough to find your own way. "

"I will leave as soon as possible then; I don't want to cause any trouble for you Sister." Yuki replied as tears streamed down her cheeks, her body shaking with fear of the unknown.

Izumi embraced her tightly. "Oh child, if it were up to me I would let you stay here no matter how old you are."

"I know Sister and its ok. I have to find my wings sometime, who knows I might even find my parents along the way."

"Now you listen here young lady!" Izumi held Yuki's face in her hands. "We've talked about this; do not get your hopes up again. I don't want you going around staring at pictures of people with eyes or something like yours hoping they're your parents. Whoever left you here did not want to be found."

Yukiko nodded sadly. "I will do as you ask sister."

Izumi studied the young girl sceptically but said no more on the matter. "Good girl! I'll leave you to think things over while I send one of the kids up with this week's job section in the paper."

Yukiko lunged forward onto her bed as soon as the door clicked shut, pulling out the book from under her pillow. She had found the book in the common area this morning. Someone from West City came to adopt one of the babies and must've left it behind. She had snuck it up to her room to have a closer look. The young girl knew very little about the surrounding cities. Sister Izumi was very strict about the outside world and only taught her the school curriculum. It was Yukiko's own doing really, always daydreaming about who her parents could be, or wondering what they were doing or if they were still alive. It was Izumi's way to ensure that she never got her hopes up or too sad and depressed like the last time.

Yukiko opened the book to the first page. It was an introduction about Dr Briefs, founder of the company. She flipped the pages until she came to some photographs in the middle of the book. I'll read it later, photo's first. I love looking at pictures! She studied each image carefully reading the descriptions underneath. Bulma Briefs and her husband Vegeta. "Wow! She's as genius, look at all these inventions" she scanned the rest of the photo's showing Bulma fixing or making something, and so on. "I bet I could still show her a thing or two though!"

Yuki flipped the page again. The title on the top read 'Trunks Briefs Era'. Her eyes roamed over the page skipping the brief description of the most successful President of Capsule Corp, until she saw him. "Oh. My. Kami! No Yukiko! Don't do this to yourself again. Just because he has the same hair and eye colour, does not mean he's your father. Look, it says right there that he never married and dedicated his whole life to the success of Capsule Corp." She sighed knowing it was wishful thinking, but what's a girl to do when you're desperate to find your roots. Besides why would a rich family throw away a child, right? "Pure coincidence is all it is. I'm sure there are many other people out there with lavender hair, but I need to know!"

"Yuki-Chan" a little girl came rushing into the room with the newspaper in her hand.

"Thank you, Mai" She took the paper from the little girl, but her mind was already made up. She knew where she wanted to go; even if it turned out to be fruitless she had to know!

"Are you sure Yukiko? West City is a long way from here. You could just as easily find a job in Satan City."

"I found this advertisement while looking for a job, see." She pointed to it. It was by chance that she decided to look through the paper anyway while thinking of a way to convince Sister Izumi to let her go to West City, when she saw it! "Capsule Corporation is testing high school graduates who are interested in business and science. All I need to do is write the test and interview with one of the Executives if successful. I could get a full bursary plus an apprenticeship at one of the leading companies in the world!

"Yuki-Chan…"

"Please Sister Izumi, it's as if fate has brought me to this very moment. Everything happens for a reason, right? That's what you always tell me."

Izumi sighed, she couldn't say no to her now and she looked so desperate. If this was an easy way out for Yukiko, then who was she to deny her? What else was the poor girl going to do? "When is the test?"

"Monday, but I have to register by Friday…That's two days away."

"Okay, I'll take a few days off and we can stay with my sister while we're in West City. I'm sure she'll let you stay if you manage to get in, at least until you're able to find your own place."

"Thank You!" Yukiko hugged her closely. Everything happens for a reason…

###

Monday came around sooner than she thought. Spending the weekend in West City was like a dream, she had already fallen in love with the place. Last Friday when she came to register, everyone who was there gawked at her. Some were even stunned speechless, but she decided to ignore it and focus on the task at hand.

There was about twenty of them in the room, she was sitting anxiously in the back as it was the only space still available when she arrived. Wow there's so many of us for this one position. You can do this Yukiko!

"Hey, I'm Kenji." The guy sitting next to her, whispered.

"Hi, I'm Yukiko." She replied politely.

"Some of the others said Mr Briefs will come and talk to us before we start."

"Really!" she said excitedly. I never thought I'd get to see him so soon!

"Alright, ladies and gentleman…. Before we start the President of Capsule Corp would like to say a few words.

He walked into the room and Yukiko felt her heart thumping in her chest. Oh My Kami, it's him! She was struggling to breathe, he had the exact same shade of hair she did, and although his eyes were a different shape, it was exactly the same colour as hers. He also had a sharp jaw-line, just like her!

"Hey are you related to him or something?" She heard Kenji ask.

She shook her head. "Um, n-no I've never met him before."

"Good Morning and welcome to Capsule Corp…" Trunks greeted while scanning the room, looking at all the eager young faces sitting in front of him. He froze when he saw one particular face in the back of the room. What the fuck! Did my mother have a love child or something? Maybe my father, but most likely my mother… She was staring at him anxiously, a confused expression on her face. He was so stunned he never even thought to check her ki. "Err, excuse me…"he said hastily. "Hiroshi take over will you, I'll come back when they've finished the exam. I completely forgot about a client I'm meeting in about five minutes."

"Y-Yes of course, Mr Briefs."

Trunks walked out calmly, resting his back against the wall next to the door. Wait! He focused on the people inside the room scanning their ki, but found nothing out of the ordinary. My mind must be playing tricks on me…

###

"Mr Briefs, these are the five students who passed the test." Hiroshi Told Trunks three hours later. "This here is Aiko, Michael, Haruka, Kenji and Yukiko.

Their eyes met and Yuki smiled at him shyly as he shook her hand.

That smile reminded him of someone he hadn't seen in a long time, she also had her shape eyes and nose. What are you thinking Trunks, there's no way! "Hiroshi go ahead and interview those three, Kenji and Yukiko come with me."

"Mr Briefs?"

"I'll interview them." Trunks stated pointedly.

"Yes sir…"

###

Yukiko sat nervously outside the President's office, waiting for her turn. She never thought that she would get so close to him so soon. Everything happens for a reason.

"Good luck Yukiko…" Kenji said as he took a seat next to her.

"Thanks…"

"Yukiko, come inside." Trunks instructed.

She walked into his spacious office filled with awards, certificates and photographs.

"Have a seat." Trunks gestured. "It says here that you're from Satan City."

"Y-Yes that's where I live. I don't really know where I'm from." Yuki, that's no way to start and interview! She scolded herself.

Trunks looked up at her curiously. "Well then Yukiko Miyagi; tell me a bit about yourself." It still freaked him out, how much she looked like him.

"I-I'm eighteen years old. I am an orphan and was home schooled all my life…"

"You're an orphan?"

"Yes, Miyagi is not really my last name. It was a given name by Sister Izumi who runs the orphanage, so I could get a birth certificate and so on. I was left on the doorstep of Satan City Orphanage the day after I was born. All I had with me was the clothes I was wearing, the blanket I was wrapped in, a note with my first name, the date and time of my birth, and a chain that Sister Izumi returned to me when I was six years old. I've been wearing it ever since and never take it off.

"I'm sorry Yukiko; you don't have to talk about it if you're not comfortable."

"That's quite alright Mr Briefs" She shrugged. "There isn't much more to tell."

Trunks thought back to the last time he was intimate with 'her'. He told her he had fallen in love with her and she was over the moon. That night they made love to each other, so much passion…it was the night before she left for University. Everything changed after that…

"M-Mr Briefs are you okay?"

"Err I'm sorry, I was thinking about something…So tell me, why did you apply for this particular package?"

To meet you…"I've always had a love for maths and science, from the moment I was able to grasp what it was. I used to spend all my free time making things out of junk found around the orphanage, or fixing broken equipment and electronics. I have hundreds of formulas and inventions." She reached into her backpack pulling out an A4 sized book, passing it to him. "I have no idea if they're any good but..."

"You did all this by yourself?" He asked while flipping through the pages.

"Yes sir it sort of just comes to me, you know. I have many more books like that and some are still up here." She pointed to her head.

Wow, this is amazing! She's so much like my mother…I have to show this to her straight away! "I've seen and heard enough. Yukiko the package will probably go to one of the other four, due to their achievements and extracurricular work in the field during high school and so on."

"Oh I see, t-that's okay…I'll try again next year. Maybe I can try to get into a science program in the meantime to earn merits or something." She replied discouraged.

"You my dear will work directly with me and my mother, who believe it or not still works here. We will send you to University and work out some sort of payment plan. I've never seen such raw talent since, well since my mother. You see I am more of a business man, but I sometimes delve into the scientific aspect of things. I am looking for someone who can take over my mother's role and you might just be the one...Welcome to Capsule Corp Yukiko…"
