~ Unconditional Bonds ~

Author's Introduction: Unconditional Bonds was written in the summer of 2001. It was my first piece of 'postable' work and my first contribution to the vast sea of Dragonball Z fanfiction.

Three years later I've picked up the pen, as it were, and have written a sequel to this piece and am currently working on third and final installment. But I feel I should pause and take time to touch base. At the time I wrote this, the concept of a beta was foreign to me as was the notion of 'damage control'. Needless to say, this fic could use some spit and shine. And that's what I've endeavored to do.

I have gone through this with a fine-tooth comb-though I'm sure I've missed some things-and refined some scenes here and there. In other words, this will be basically be the same story but be much more reader friendly. I have also changed some scenes that have just plain annoyed me and have cut the 'fluff factor' in half.

That said, I hope you enjoy this new 'cleaner' version, I know I've enjoyed working on it.
