It Was You

First Encounters

"You're a waste of my time." Vegeta said coldly as he turned his back to the purple-haired boy lying in a heap on the floor. He was near unconsciousness now. His line of vision fading from clear to blurry to blackness. "Must be...h-hard...for...you.... T-t-to lose the only woman you loved." He choked out. Vegeta, who heard, stopped in his tracks and growled fiercely as he turned around and gave the 15 year-old boy a second helpings in beating.

"Dad! Pwease stop Dada!" A three-year-old, blue haired child cried as she ran up to her father. She wrapped her little arms around the arm Vegeta used to punch the boy with. Even though Vegeta could easily throw the child off of him he did as she commanded and stopped.

"Don't ever talk about your mother again. OR next time I won't stop." Vegeta said as he removed the young girl off his arms and stalked out of the room.

Once the girl was sure her father was gone she crawled to her older brother.

"Trwunks...Trwunks pwease wake up." She said as she shook him lightly.

When she saw her brother didn't move she quickly ran into her brother's room and pulled out his emergency kit. He had shown her what to do and how to use it in case something like that happened. Inside everything was properly listed and labeled for her and even spelled the way she thought you spelled it.

She then picked up the brown draw bag marked 'Healing Beans' and raced back to her brother's side. She knelt down beside his head and gently tapped his jaw. "Trwunks if you can hear me pwease...open you mouf." She instructed. When she didn't see him respond she repeated herself and finally after the forth time Trunks opened his mouth to eat the bean.

Once chewed and swallowed Trunks blinked his eyes opened twice as the bean's powers worked its magic on healing his broken bones and his bruises. When he was healed he sat up and was attacked by his sister giving him a bear hug.

"Oh Trwunks you're okay!" She cried. "Yes...but you're squeezing too tight." Trunks barely got out. "Oops...sorry." "Thank you Bra." "What did you do?" She asked looking at him curiously. "Nothing. I only mentioned mom." Trunks said as he wrapped his sister into his arms and she began to sob in his chest.

"Daddy doesn't loves us anymore because mommy is gone!" Bra weep. "Shh...don't cry Bra. Daddy still loves us. It's because mom is gone he is upset. And he just doesn't know how to deal right now okay?" Trunks said as he rocked the young child in his arms.

Night fell that evening as it always has since Bulma left Trunks and Bra. Vegeta off to Kami only knows where and Trunks comforting Bra to sleep. As Trunks tucked his sister into his bed he pulled a piece of flowing blue hair behind her little ear.

'Mother.' He thought in his mind. He quickly pulled back and walked over to his window and stared out into the city below him.

Since his mom passed away from lung cancer his life had went downhill. His relationship with his father got worse, he had to play Bra's older brother and father since his father would have little to do with her (probably because she resembled their mother so much) and all there was in the world to comfort his pains was his best friend Goten who lived in the country, but was currently staying with his brother in town.

As Trunks leaned against his windowpane his sighed and watched as slowly, but surely rain feel from the sky.

Thing were always gloomy in this new town he lived in. His father couldn't take living in Capsule Corp. anymore so he moved out into a loft off closer to the mountains were his friend lived. Since his father abandoned Capsule Corp. They gave the building to the maids and butlers to tend to until he or his sister could take it back.

He sighed again pushing the thoughts of all the bad things that happened to him and his sister in a matter of months.

'With hope tomorrow might be a better day.' Trunks thought as he unfolded his arms, changed into his pj and joined his sister in the land of sleep.

Next Day

Trunks awoke with the sun that morning, yawning as he stretched his muscles. He kicked his feet to the sides of the bed and walked out the room into the hallway going to the bathroom. As he passed the hallway clock and noted it was about six in the morning and he yawned again knowing his sister would be up in about another half-hour.

He quickly jumped in the shower allowing the warm water to relax him a bit and jumped out. He freshened up and went to go get dressed and just as he was pulling out his sister clothes she woke up with a big yawn and Trunks laughed at the site of her ruffled blue her and the cute little drowsy look that was on her face.

By the time eight came Trunks had gotten him and his sister ready for pre-school and high school. Bags packed, lunches made, breakfast ate.

"Alright remember Bra that you can't fly off from your school okay. You have to wait until I come and pick you up all right. The last thing I need to do is explain to your teacher how you gotten home by yourself again." Trunks lectured as he grabbed her hand and lead her to the front door.

Luckily for them Vegeta wasn't home this morning other wise they wouldn't be leaving on time for once. And unharmed for that matter. Just as Trunks and Bra walked out the door and Trunks turned around to lock the door behind him, he looked up at the sounds of men hailing heavy boxes. As he eyed them going by he notice that there was someone lagging behind with a much heavier looking box. They teetered this way and that trying to regain their balance and just when they were about to fall spilling all the box content Trunks used his saiyan speed to help break the person's fall.

"Gomen. I'm sorry to be a bother, but could you help me put this down?" Trunks heard a voice from behind the other side of the box mutter. "That's alright and sure." Trunks help the person put the box down. Once he put the box down he realized that the person was a girl about his age, maybe somewhat younger with jet-black hair that went a little past her shoulders. She had deep black eyes and an average body frame.

"Thank you for helping me. I apologize if I was a burden." "You weren't really." Trunks stated somewhat mesmerized by the girl's appearance. "So what's in the box?" "Oh just a bunch of stuff. I'm moving in here today and I was trying to help those dudes unload so I could jet off to my new work place." "Well welcome to the community. My name is Trunks and I live here." Trunks greeted "I'm Pan.".

Just as Trunks was about to say something else he felt a tug at his pants leg. Trunks looked down and notice it was Bra. "Trunks we gotta go other wise I'll be late again!" She whined. A small smirked tugged at Trunks lips and he looked up at Pan apologetically. "Well I'm sorry, but I have to jet this one up to pre-school. Maybe I'll see you around." Trunks murmured as chuckled lightly and scratched his head exactly the same way his friend's dad did.

Pan chuckled lightly herself. "Well I didn't mean to tie you up like this. And maybe I'll see you around sometime." Pan said as she bent back down to pick up the box and headed on upstairs. As Trunks nodded towards her and headed down the hall as he picked up Bra and her a piggyback ride all the way to her school and flew like a mad man to school.
