Chapter 4: Coming home

Disclaimer: I don't' own DBZ… If I did that horrible Mai plotline would not exist! I mean who the fuck thought of that crap! She has no business with any Trunks she's like 60 year old.

Future Trunks will now be Mirai

Mirai felt like he could finally breathe again as he exited the time machine. He took the time to look at his surrounding and just enjoy the view. Capsule Corp look better than he remembered, it looked so alive and welcoming. He was suddenly blown away with a warm feeling in his chest. For so long after he found out of his mother's cancer he felt crushed under the weight of it all. Now in the past seeing the life that he helped create here and the loved ones that awaited him he could finally walk without stumbling.

Mirai let his senses spread looking for his mother or father. He needed to see them needed to see that he was not alone that he had a reason to exist. Soon he found what he was looking for and he almost fell to his knees with relief when he felt his mother's Ki. After watching the life slowly leave her, feeling her here shining so brightly was reassuring him that his choice to come had been the right one.

After a few more moments of basking in her energy he felt his father's Ki coming close to his position. He straightened himself upright and adjusted his appearance. He did not want his father to see him this way. It might disappoint the mighty saiyan prince to see his son crying for no apparent reason. His father opened the door to CC and was greeted with the sight of his future son. Mirai could of sworn that his father's eyes not only softened at seeing him, but looked fondly towards him. Looking at him now, he felt such relief like everything was finally going to start being okay.

His father walked closer to him and Mirai noticed that he looked different then when he left the timeline. His father looked older and that was enough for Mirai's eye to widen. Just how far back or should I say how far into the future did I go? I only wanted to get here a couple of years ahead of when I left the timeline. I must of miscalculated and went farther ahead then I realized. Looks like I am at least 10 years into the future.

"Boy, what are you doing here? Did something happen in your timeline? Or is there some other threat that you need to warn us about?" questioned his father looking worried. It was enough to knock the purple haired boy out his thought.

"No father there is no new threat that I need to warn you about. Although something did happen in my time that made me come here. I will explain, but first I need to see mom. I will..I nee…I jus…don…I do…", taking an shaky breath he was overwhelmed with the sudden need to see her and make sure she was ok. Another deep breath to clear his thought helped him ease the tension he was building up. "Im sorry I will explain everything father, but I just need to make sure mom is ok", the half-saiyan finally finished looking at his father with pleading eye.

Vegeta for his part looked more worried and wary now than he did when he first saw him. The prince wanted to demand an explanation now, but the look on his son's face stopped him. His son looked completely gutted then & if seeing the woman eased whatever caused it to be there he would comply.

Vegeta folded his arms narrowed his eyes. Just because he was getting soft in his old age did not mean that he had to let others know of this fact. Especially the son that had finally opened his eyes and heart to everything he could have if he just let go of some of his anger.

"Fine boy, I will take you to see the woman, but you will explain to me what it is you are doing here immediately" demanded the flame haired man.

Mirai for his part was relieved to hear that his father was not going to fight him on this.

"Ofcourse father I would not come here without knowing that I had to explain."

The blue eyed boy walked towards his father with measured steps before looking into his eyes and trying to tell him how he felt.

"Father…. I just.. I wa.. I am happy to see you."

The prince of saiyans eyes narrowed once more only to soften a moment later.

"I am pleased to see you as well brat," before trying to save face by saying, "I want to see how much stronger you have gotten since the last time you were here."

The boy from the future smiled the first real smile he had in months then. Looks like no matter how long it is somethings just never change. What a relief for a moment after realizing how far into the future I have come I thought that maybe I had been forgotten. But I should of known that even though he doesn't' show it he does care about me.

Then together they made their way inside to see his mother.

Now that I am here my future is going to be alright. I wonder what kind of changes have happened since i was last here. Maybe I might find someone who will take this lonely feeling that claws at my gut.

Little does he now that one of those changes is a beautiful boy with onyx eyes that will change his world forever. Because even though he does not exist in his timeline where there is a Trunks there must always be a Goten. His decision to come to the past was the universes way of righting the wrong of Goten not existing and walking next to him all his life as it is meant to be.
