Ch 4
Coming down the steps of the business building after a long day of classes at West City University, Trunks sighed. He knew he would just go home and get his homework done tonight. Hopefully his mother didn't have any Capsule Corporation business to go over with him. 'What a depressing way to spend the rest of my day?'
Making his way to the parking lot, he spotted his car, opened it, and threw his stuff in the backseat. Before he could go into his car, he sensed the same presence he sensed at the market. Closing the car door, he walked towards it to find the raven-haired boy going into the school. Curious, Trunks followed the boy inside. He spotted him in the main office and went right in.
"Excuse me," Goten said to the woman behind the desk, "I was wondering if you knew where I could find Trunks Briefs?"
"Why are you look for me?"
Goten turned around to see the guy he saw at the market. His piercing blue eyes were very striking to the him, and he looked sharp in his black suit and blue tie. His lavender hair looked so soft. He wondered what it would be like to run his hands through it. 'Wait! What? I do not want to—
"Who are you?" demanded Trunks.
"I—uh can we talk in private?"
"Fine," said Trunks as Goten followed him to his car. "Talk."
"My name is Son Goten. Your master was my brother. I heard about his death from the people who took me in, Baba and Master Roshi. I never got to know him because my mother gave me up to a foster family when I was born. I think with my father's death and the Androids she felt like she couldn't take care of me, at least that's what my foster parents told me. I'm told my brother was a good man, a good saiyan."
"I knew you felt familiar. I can't believe it. You mean your brother didn't even know about you?"
"I was told she hid her pregnancy from him, and I think Gohan didn't come over much because of the Androids. I was given away the moment I was born."
Trunks could sense the sadness in the boy's heart. He had been through a lot. That much Trunks could tell. His own life had been bliss until the Androids and now he was just trying to find his place in the world again.
"Baba told me you defeated the Androids. You must be really strong. I don't think I'm nearly as strong as you."
"I had to be. I had no other choice. Anyway I can tell you what you want to know about your brother. I can also train you, if you want," said Trunks as Goten smiled. Trunks felt something.
