Hi, tis me the talkative tofu again. Anyways I'm back with a new story, sorry if it's been a while, I've been at my university's summer school (It's not a bad thing, it gets my asking grades knocked down for when I apply in a years time.) I suppose I'm in a bit of an angsty mood, so be prepared for sudden deaths! But don't flame me about them, it's all part of the plot and I will not be changing it and that's final! But lots of nice good reviews are always welcome (they make me feel warm and fuzzy inside and it makes my ego go through the roof ^_^) Anyway, I don't own dragonball z and I never will, If I did there would be no women at all leaving all the sajains single (What a thought ^_~). Now I've rambled on too much so on with the story.
River of tears
The rain fell from the drab grey sky, the odd clatter of thunder and lightening ripping through the air. Perfect weather for the funeral she thought as she slowly walked before the 3 gravestones of her family in the cold. The rain had ceased to stop that day as she had silently endured the whole funeral. The short drive to the church, the sympathetic guests gestures of sorrow to her, the drive to place the bodies in the ground. What did everyone else know about her pain, her losses? Her family were all dead for Kami's sake! She let another tear fall down her cheek along with the tears that had fallen that day, like the poring rain which crashed down on the large black umbrella she held. She didn't understand why Dende had taken them all away from her, she was angry at him for doing so but also hurt. Another clatter of lightening lit up the dark sky in a bright flash, highlighting the red roses she had placed at their graves. She had stood there in the cold, looking down at their graves for a few hours now. The guests had all left after paying their respects, half of them she'd never met before in her life. The only one's who she knew there were the Z warriors and she didn't want to see them of all people. They reminded her too much of her dead family, of happy times when they were full of life.
Unbeknown to her not all of the guests had left, one dark haired sajain still waited behind her. Like he had all through the funeral. Watching her, wanting to comfort her genuinely not like the sympathetic gestures of those who didn't know her. He'd noticed her silence, he could see her pain through her eyes. True he was hurt himself, he'd lost his best friend. But she had lost the 3 people on earth that she loved the most. He could see the difference in her attitude because of her loss, her once happy smile had faded since she found them. He closed his eyes momentarily as he recalled the horrific event. She had found their bodies of all people. He only thanked Dende that she wasn't one of the bodies, she had only been with her family a minute beforehand.
He sighed as he stepped forward to be at her side. She never looked at him once, never acknowledged his presence when he was there. Slowly he lifted his hand towards her face, caressing her cheek with his thumb to dry her tears. Only then did her gaze meet his, and for a second he thought he could provide her the comfort she needed. She only scowled at him after a second before she turned away from him to walk back to her car. But before she could escape he grabbed her wrist, preventing her from getting away. He forced her around to face him, placing his spare hand around her waist "Bra, why are you running away from me?" Bra looked back into the dark eyes of the man who held her "Goten get off me!" He slowly let her go but not before asking softly again, pleading to her through his eyes to answer him "Bra, why?" Bra scowled at him again. He really disliked that look on her face
"Get away from me Goten! I never want to see you or the other warriors ever again! All I ever wanted was a normal life and all I got was this, my family dead!" Bra turned her back on Goten and walked over to her car but before she entered the sleek black car Goten heard her whisper softly "You remind me too much…"
Bra drove off hastily, leaving him in the rain looking after her "All I want to do is help you Bra, ease your pain. Maybe you could help ease my pain too." He sighed and looked back at the graves of Vegeta, Bulma and his best friend Trunks. His eyes fell upon Vegeta's grave and he stood up a little taller "I promise you I'll look after her, I wont let anything harm her." And with that he burst off into the air, following the young woman lost in the world.
Well did ya guess it was Bra and Goten? Knowing me this will turn into a romance. And I guess you're all wondering what happened to her family, well wait and see. I'll tell ya all the facts in chapter two.
Until then review and tell me what ya all think. Bye!
