Ch 52

Sipping her morning coffee, Bulma sighed in contentment in the kitchen. It was a quite morning that she loved to have to herself. She was the only one up besides her husband who was training in the GR. A knock on the door interrupted her quite morning. She knew it wasn't Vegeta because his knock was more aggressive.

Opening the door, her eyes widened in horror. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed as she saw her son and Goten covered in fresh wounds. "Come inside," she said as she yelled out to her husband. "VEGETA GET IN HERE NOW!" Trunks and Goten covered their ears as they came inside.

"What is it woman? Can't you see I'm—he looked at the state of his son and mate. "I see."

"There has to be another way, and Goten and I are going to find it with or without your help."

"All right Trunks," said Bulma. "I'll call Master Roshi and see if his sister Baba can help. You two should probably get cleaned up. You two look terrible."

"Thanks mom," said Trunks as he and Goten went to get cleaned up.

"Are you sure about this woman?" asked Vegeta as she picked up her phone.

"It's the only thing I can think of on such short notice. Hopefully she can help them," she said as she dialed Master Roshi's number. "Hello, it's Bulma."

"Bulma, everything ok?"

"Uh well it's complicated. Anyway do you know how we can get in contact with Baba?"

"She's at the lookout."

"Can you talk to her and tell her that Trunks and Goten need to speak with her?"

"Of course. I'll call you right back."

"Thank you," said Bulma as Master Roshi put her on hold. It felt like forever when he called back."

"They can meet her at the lookout at noon."

"I really appreciate this Roshi."

"Oh really. How much?"

"Not that much you big perv!" she yelled as she hung up. "Well it's all set."

"I hope for their sake that something good comes out of this," said Vegeta.

"Me to Vegeta," she said as she leaned on him, his arm wrapped around her waist.

Baba looked at the two young man before her, sensing a lot of pain, guilt, and sadness. "So, what is it you ask of me?"

"Well we're bonded in saiyan tradition and with this bond comes a lot unpleasantries. Our sex life has become violent and has hurt our relationship in the process. We were wondering if there was a way to stop this from happening ever again," said Trunks.

"The only way to know for sure is to travel to the Library Of Universal Knowledge," said Baba. "I will gladly take you two there and do my best to help. I just want to warn you that the information you find might not be the most ideal."

"We're willing to take the risk," said Goten.

"Very well," she said as she looked at Trunks. "We'll need a spaceship, pack what you need for a week, and we'll leave at 6AM tomorrow morning. Understood."

"Yes," they both said.

"Thank you Baba," said Goten before him and Trunks took off home.

"Don't thank me yet," Baba said softly as she watched them fly away.

Both demi-saiyans separated to get their affairs in order before the trip tomorrow. Trunks went to his parents to explain the situation while Goten flew to the mountain area to let his brother, Videl, and Pan know what was going on.

"So, you and Trunks are leaving for a week into outer space to fix your relationship?" said Gohan.

"I know it sounds crazy, but I need you trust me on this," said Goten.

"And what happens if you don't find what you're looking for out there?" asked Gohan.

"I don't know, but I know right now Trunks and I need to do this for us."

"Well we wish you a safe journey and the answers you'e looking for," said Videl. "I'll get a temporary baker until you come back."

"Thank you Videl," he smiled.

"You'll be all right uncle Goten," smiled Pan.

"You're the best Pan," he smiled as she hugged him.

"See you in a week," Goten waved as he took off to his home in the city.

Goten was hopeful that this trip is just what he and Trunks needed to find answers, and his doubts slowly faded away into a smile on his face. He felt relief fill him as his body began to relax in his flight home.
