Hi there! This is a sequel (or prequel ... I don't know) of my other fic "Brothers". If you haven't read the fic "Brothers", I would recommend you to do so (though not necessary). ^-^

Just a hint of background of the fic for those who hasn't read the other fic. After a tragedy in his visit to the past, Trunks (for simplicity, I will refer Mirai Trunks as "Trunks" and Trunks in the present timeline as "Little Trunks") had been granted with eternal life, but without all his memories and he was not allowed to return to his own timeline. Unintentionally, he travelled back to the present timeline and saved Little Trunks in an attack of the aliens. With the unexpected invitation offered by Vegeta, Trunks had decided to stay in this timeline.

This fic is Mirai Trunks centred. What happened after Trunks was being granted with eternal life and before his arrival in the present timeline?

Warning: Vegeta will be a bit OOC. You have been warned. ^-^

Now, let's stop talking and get started!

Chapter 1: Home

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mom! We are home!" Little Trunks shouted at the front door of the Capsule Corporation mansion, with two men following him, "Mom! Where are you? Come on! There is someone you definitely have to meet!"

"Little Trunks, stop yelling, would you?" came Bulma's voice from the other side of the mansion. She walked towards the door, "How many times do I have to tell you that yelling in the house is very annoying? You..." she stopped as she saw a familiar figure behind her son and her arms-crossed husband.

"Trunks?" she asked hesitantly, "Trunks, is that really you?"

Trunks nodded, smiling, "Yes, Bulma-san."

She approached the young man, happiness sparked in her blue eyes, "You are back! You are back!" She hugged him tightly as if he would disappear if she didn't, "Thanks kame! Do you know how sad I was when you died 7 years ago? I thought I have lost my son forever!"

"Hey, mom!" Little Trunks protested, "I am here! Your son is never lost!"

"I know, I know." Bulma laughed as she noticed the tone of jealousy in Little Trunks' statement, "I didn't mean you, my dear. But I couldn't stop feeling losing my son when Trunks was gone." she said as she stroke Little Trunks' hair playfully.

Trunks smiled assuredly, blushing heavily under the bear-hug of his mother, "Don't worry, Bulma-san. I am alright."

Bulma hesitated as she sensed something's not right. She looked into the bright blue eyes of Trunks, "Wait a second, why are you keep calling me 'Bulma-san'? You sounded like you are meeting me for the first time."

"Long story, Bulma." came a deep voice from the door.

"Goku-san," Trunks turned and smiled at the visitor, "I have been expecting you."

"What the hell are you doing here, Kakkaroto?" Vegeta asked, annoyed.

Trunks looked at Vegeta, "Goku-san is usually the one to take me to Kai King in most of the timelines."

Vegeta frowned in confusion, but he said nothing.

Goku, in his angel-form, took no offence of Vegeta's attitude, "Bulma, I am sorry that I need to borrow Trunks for a while. We have some business to be solved with Kai King first."

"O... ok." Bulma released Trunks from her embrace. She winced an eye to Trunks playfully, "Promise me to come back quickly. I will prepare a feast to celebrate your return this evening."

Trunks smiled bitterly, "Bulma-san, let's postpone it for a few days. I am sure we will have the time and mood to do so later." then he turned to follow Goku, who was walking outside of the mansion.

"What does he mean?" Bulma murmured, confused. But she decided to leave it for the moment as there were way too many questions about the return of her son, in particular, why he was acting as if she was a stranger to him.

Goku stood in the middle of the front yard and turned to Trunks, "Hold on to my shoulder and we will go to Kai King with instant transmission."

Trunks nodded obediently and put a hand on Goku's right shoulder.

Suddenly, a hand was put on Goku's left shoulder.

Goku looked at the owner of the other hand, "What is it, Vegeta?"

Vegeta said, "I am going with you. There are too many unknowns about this brat that need to be clear out."

Knowing the saiya prince well, Goku did not object, "Well, you are the one who insists to come along. I am sure you wouldn't want to come."

Vegeta spat in annoyance, "I need no one to tell me what I want!"

Trunks remained in silence, his eyes filled with depression.

Goku pointed his forehead, "Anyway, let's get going. Kai King is waiting."

With a blur, the three disappeared from the yard. Leaving Bulma and Little Trunks staring at the empty front yard, with hundreds of questions flying in their minds.

~On the Kai King planet~

With a flash, Goku, Trunks and Vegeta appeared out of thin air and landed on the planet.

Vegeta looked around, his face showing no emotion, *So, this is the place where the ruler of the world of the dead lives...*

"So, finally you come to our timeline." Kai King approached the three, a warm smile on his face.

"Yes, Kai King sama," Trunks replied, returning a smile, "My apologies for bothering you in this timeline."

Kai King looked at Trunks thoughtfully, "Goku and I have been wondering how long will it take for you to finally come here. We have been receiving reports from Kai Kings of the other timelines on your journey. We always wanted to invite you to come to this timeline as you have been here before. Unfortunately, we can't communicate with you directly. So all we could do was to wait for you to come to this timeline by chance. It's been a hard time for you."

Trunks looked away, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"What is going on?" Vegeta demanded. He had had enough of being ignorance of the situation while everyone else seems to know everything. He was getting frustrated.

"Don't worry, Vegeta, you will know the whole story soon." Kai King's face turned serious, "But we have something to deal with first."

With a wave of his hand, a large silvery spear appeared in Kai King's hand. He handed the spear to Goku, who took it and looked at it with hesitation.

Kai King turned to Trunks, "You know what you will receive when you decided to interfere, right?"

Trunks lowered his head, standing still, "Yes, I know."

"Goku!" Kai King commended.

Goku took a deep breath and pointed the spear at Trunks, hesitation overwhelmed him.

Vegeta was shocked, "What the hell are you doing?"

Kai King commended again, "Goku!!"

Trunks looked up and smiled at Goku, "Don't worry, Goku-san. Just do it. I will be alright in a few days."

Goku sighed. He took another deep breath and charged at Trunks with lightening speed, plummeting the spear right through Trunks at his stomach.
