After Trunks had left Tatsuki, he left to go to the house of Master Roshi, where he sensed everyone was gathered at. He had a lot to discuss with them, like how come they never told him about hollows. Maybe they started seeing them recently, or maybe they haven't seen them at all. From what Tatsuki said, not everyone can see them. But if he could see them, he didn't see any reason the others couldn't see them.

Well, he was going to find out.

That was his thought as he started flying over the ocean. It wasn't long after that that he saw the Kame House. Everyone was outside smiling and waving at him. He smiled a little and landed soon after that.

"Hey everyone, how've you been?"

Bulma went up to Trunks and rested a hand on his shoulder, "Things have been going great here. How have things been in the future?"

"Things are improving. We've been able to rebuild a lot of West City."

"That's great. So you don't have some kind of other emergency to warn us of?"

"Not this time, I just came to visit. But I do have some questions for you all."

Krillin asked, "Oh, what kind of questions?"

"Have you guys ever encountered something called a hollow?"

Tien answered with another question, "What are hollows?"

"Well, they seem to be monstrous creatures with white masks, black bodies, and holes in their chests."

"Oh yeah," said Gohan. "We've recently been encountering those strange monsters. So far they haven't been much trouble. Just need an energy blast to its face, and it's gone. But the weird thing is that no one else seems to notice them. Have you come across one?"

"Yeah, just a little while ago. Also, have you guys seen any people dressed in black with swords fighting them?"

Krillin folded his arms, "Now that you mention it, I did see someone like that come by after I defeated one. They seemed confused, looked around, then left."

"Well, I just learned they are called Shinigami." He then proceeded to tell them all that Tatsuki had told him.

Krillin rubbed the back of what was once a bald head, but now sported short black hair, "Wow, that's pretty deep."

Master Roshi looked at Trunks, "How did you learn all this?"

"Earlier today I met a girl that was friends with a Shinigami."

Yamcha smirked and lightly elbowed him, "Oh a girl huh? Was she pretty?"

Trunks blushed a little, "Yeah, she was pretty."

Yamcha laughed, "Maybe you should go for her then."

Trunks blushed a little more, "Why should I do that? I'm from a completely different time than her."

Tatsuki's mind spaced off as the sensei counted the roundhouse kicks her and her classmates kicked repeatedly. She's done it so many times in the past that it was reflex for her so she didn't need to pay attention.

Tatsuki hated waiting. She knew Trunks didn't say exactly when he'd come back to train her, but seriously, what could he be doing that took 3 whole days?

Ichigo had already asked her about him, but he looked skeptical when she told him. Even though he knew she wasn't the type to just believe anything. But when she told him about the transformation that Trunks called a Super Saiyan, he believed her.

He never was a fan of sci-fi either, plus he knew she didn't make up stories like that. And it was way too ludicrous for it not to be the truth.

So Ichigo was placated for now. She didn't tell him about Trunks training her, she wanted to surprise him when she was ready to. She couldn't wait to see his face when she defeated a hollow in front of…. and there she goes with the pride stuff again. She really needed to stop doing that.

She sighed and tried to concentrate on the sensei again. She really did need to pay attention even though she didn't really feel like she had to. Who knows, maybe something different will happen today in the dojo.

Trunks was finally able to return to Tatsuki's town He didn't even know the name of it. All he knew was that that was where she was at, and that he had agreed to train her.

So he quickly flew to the town, found a deserted ally way, and landed. Now he just had to find her again. He must have been rather absent minded earlier because he didn't ask her her address, her number, or any other way to contact her. So that left the old fashioned way, walk around and look. But he also had something over regular humans who have to resort to that plan.

He stepped out of the alley way and raised his awareness so that he could locate her energy.

It took about 2 hours to find her. Despite the fact that this town wasn't as large as the ones he's used to, it was big enough and he didn't know enough about the different locations, or her past times (besides street fighting) to know where she might be.

But he wasn't too surprised to see that when he did find her, she was in a martial arts dojo. But he was surprised to see that she was the only one in the dojo when he arrived. Usually people are only there when there's a class right? It seemed like she really took her fighting seriously.

He smiled a little because she was so involved with her self-training she didn't even notice him there. He took off his golden boots before entering then also removed his indigo Capsule Corp jacket, revealing his black tank top. After that he walked to the edge of the mat and waited for an opening.

As she moved her body for a right jab punch he jumped in and grabbed her hand with his left. He smirked at her astonished expression and balled his right hand into a fist and aimed a punch to her torso, making sure to control his movements and force of his strength to the human level.

Out of reflex she freed her right hand from his grip and blocked his punch, and then grinned with the challenge.

So started their sparring match. He quickly could tell that by human standards, she really was very good and she probably would go far in the Martial Arts Tournament that Goku and the others talked about. He had yet to experience the tournament because of the Androids and they haven't started it up again yet in the future.

But he could see the frustration starting to show on her face. It's probably because that he could dodge or block each of her attacks. She was probably used to being able to land a hit at least once. But he refused to deceive her into thinking that she could match him, and then find out later that she really couldn't, at least at the level she was now. So he decided to end it quickly with a sweep kick and as she landed on her back he aimed a punch to her face, but stopped it an inch before hitting her.

She laid there panting as she stared at him in shock. He smiled a little as he removed his hand. "You're very good."

"Not as good as I thought I was. I couldn't even touch you. And it doesn't even look like you're tired at all."

He sat down next to her and she just stared at the ceiling, "Well, being part Saiyan gives me certain advantages."

"Like what?"

"Great speed, endurance, and strength."

"How much of each do you have?"

"Compared to a full human, I'm not sure. I've never tried to measure. But I do know I can out match any human you can name."

"Ha, I'd like to see Sado's response to you then."

"Sado?"

"He's like the strongest man I know, and he isn't even out of his teens yet. Plus he's about a foot taller than you, and more muscular."

"Sounds interesting. Well are you done here?

She turned to look at him, "Are you going to start training me?"

"Yes."

She stood up stretching her arms up, "Took your time about it."

He stood up too, "Sorry, had to get some things ready."

"Took three days to do so?"

"Well I had to visit some friends, that's what I was doing in the area to begin with."

"I see. Well just let me lock up and I'll be ready."

"Don't you need to cool down so you don't cramp up?"

"The type of training you're going to give me won't require me to move?"

He smiled softly, "Not yet. Before I can teach you anything else I need to train you to reach into your energy first."

"I can partially do that already, but the way you do it is probably different. In that case, let me do some cool down exercises, and then take a shower, then I'll be ready to go."

"Alright, I'll wait by the door."

"Ok then," She didn't even give him a chance to move before she was stretching.

He walked over to the doorway and watched her as he put his boots and jacket on. It was amazing how flexible she was, not only could she have her hands flat on the ground as she stretched her legs, but she could also do the splits and touch her chest to the ground. He didn't really know of anyone else who could do that.

She quickly finished and then headed to a door in the corner of the room which he assumed were the showers. She turned towards him as she put a hand on the door. "I won't be long."

"Alright, I'll be here waiting." Inwardly he was thinking that he would be here a while, he knew how girls were about their showers. His mother thought herself rushed if she took 45 minutes in the shower.

She smiled slightly as he said that, then slid the door open and stepped into the other room.

She closed the door leading to the showers and sighed. Finally he was here, she was starting to wonder if he really had planned to come back at all.

She had been surprised to say the least when he stepped in on her self-training and challenged her to spar. But she enjoyed it, at least at first. When it became evident that she couldn't even land a punch, she got frustrated. It must have shown on her face because he ended it quickly afterwards. That showed to her more than about anything, that while sometimes he can look intimidating, he really was a nice and considerate guy.

And very good looking too. The last time she saw him she did think him nice to look at, but today he had taken off his jacket, revealing his well-muscled physique. She had never seen a male body like that. Most of the guys she's known, including Ichigo, had very slender figures. Ichigo had filled out, but he was still slender.

This Trunks guy, had not only muscles, but was rather broad too.

She caught herself smiling at the train of thought, and then shook her head exasperated at herself.

She was not an empty headed female to go gaga over some guy. She just wanted him to teach her so that she could get stronger, that's all she wanted.

She turned on the water and to let it heat up, and then took a shower just to rinse off the sweat and changed to her regular clothes with her hair still damp, so it stuck out a little more than usual.

She then picked up her jacket and then stepped outside. She was kinda amused to find Trunks lying out on the floor staring at the ceiling. Apparently he expected her to take longer than she did.

The noise of the closing door must have alerted him to her presence because he turned to her with surprise on his face.

"That was fast."

She smirked, "I told you I wouldn't be long. I'm not a typical girl to take half an hour in the shower. Especially here."

"Half an hour huh? My mother usually takes at the very least 45 minutes, and to her that's rushing it."

45 minutes? What the hell did she do in there for that length of time? Not that she really wanted to find out.

"Whatever, let's go."

He chuckled softly and stood up, "Alright, we need a secluded area, one that is even more deserted than the park we went to last time."

She raised her eyebrow, wondering if he realized what it sounded like he was asking for.

Then he blushed a little and she started laughing.

"Uh, I mean…..

"Nah, it's alright, I know what you mean. It was just kinda funny. Let's head out of town then. There are no empty areas here really."

He still seemed a little embarrassed as he turned his head away and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, sounds good then."

She smiled at his obvious mental state and walked by him outside, and he followed her.

A/N: Ok, I know it's been a long time since I updated, but it really isn't my fault. My comp got some viruses (not major ones thank goodness) and I had to send it in to be repaired. Took about a week T.T

Then I also had a writers block in one area, hopefully the area really isn't noticeable, lol.

Anyways, I hope you like the start of the attractions that they are getting for each other, lol

Please leave a constructive criticism remark, I love hearing from you guys
