ENJOY
CHAP 4
Trunks sat in the room that Caballi gave him. He had asked to stay away from Roxis and Goten and she allowed him a room in which was located above the large ballroom where the party was held. He stared at the ceiling frowning. He pulled out a picture of himself, Bra, Vegeta and Bulma. Trunks looked at the image of his father and sighed.
"I'm here to make him proud of me not play around with women, who want a one time good time." Trunks repeated to himself aloud several times. Caballi walked into the room and Trunks quickly hid the picture. Caballi smiled knowingly and then spoke.
"You doing okay? Roxis and Goten are done stairs asking about you, I made something for you to eat, why don't you come down?" Caballi asked and Trunks looked at her and sighed. He sat up and rubbed his face. Caballi sighed and walked over to his bed and sat down. "Why on Earth are you so down? I heard you rocked the house and even danced with Yunalia. You should be on top of the world!" Caballi smiled but Trunks just sighed.
He looked at Caballi and sighed before speaking. "Can I tell you something and can you promise not to start acting differently towards me?" Trunks asked and Caballi just nodded. Trunks felt he could trust her, she seemed so much like the grandmother-figure that he had always wanted. He pulled out his family photo and showed her the picture, before Trunks could speak Caballi spoke.
"Prince Vegeta… you're his kid aren't you?" Caballi asked and Trunks nodded. Caballi nodded, "Let me guess, you want to make him proud because he doesn't want to respect half-breed children?"
"No… it's not like that. My dad doesn't care that we're half-breeds he loves me and my sister just the same… or at least he used to." Trunks sighed, Caballi then motioned for him to continue, "Me and Goten are from a planet called Earth. Anyway, my dad always wanted me to be a warrior like him. I just blew off training and then we began to drift apart. I got too used to playing around with women and throwing around the money I had. He and I don't even talk much, he even said that I was just going to mess around with women… I guess in a way he's right… but I want to show him that I can live in a role, that I can follow Saiyan rules, you know… I just want him to recognize me as more than some wanna-be playboy, I want him to see me as his son." Trunks sighed wistfully as Caballi hugged him.
"Trunks, it is highly commendable that you want to make your father proud and I'm proud that the true ruler of our race can love his children no matter the percentage of Saiyan blood in them. Trunks I'm sure you're gonna make him proud just don't let yourself get caught moping around." Caballi smiled widely. Trunks grinned back to the large knowledgeable woman and hugged her.
"Thanks" Trunks whispered to her and Caballi recovered from her shock of him hugging her and hugged him back.
"Don't ever mention it, if you're father can't accept what a wonder young man you are, I'll always have a place here for you." Caballi smiled. Trunks nodded and shook his head to clear it before going down to eat and meet up with Goten and Roxis.
Once downstairs in a makeshift living/dining room, Trunks ate while Roxis and Goten were drilling him about what happened after he went away with Cora. Trunks simply ate his food while ignoring them. The last thing he wanted either of them to know was that he had kissed Yuna. "Give us something Trunks, come on, please. Did she take you back to the table with Yuna or what?" Roxis asked and Trunks decided to give them this small amount of information.
"Yeah, she did and before you ask, Yuna did ask me to come to the party again, but I refused, end of story." Trunks said as he stood up and placed the plate near Caballi's sink. Roxis sighed in disbelief and finally just gave up.
"Alright, tell me what is so important to do today that you had to blow Yunalia off?" Roxis asked as Trunks shrugged.
"Train, get stronger, meditate, focus my energy, raise my power level somehow." Trunks said and Roxis's jaw dropped.
"You could wake up at any time to train. You…"
"Roxis relax, Yuna is hot but just because she's attractive doesn't mean I should spend all my time on her." Trunks sighed. Caballi was downstairs in the other room listening and when the trio came in Trunks and Roxis were going back and forth.
"Okay so she isn't worth spending every waking moment with?" Roxis asked Trunks thought for a moment.
"You know what, I say she's definitely worth it," Trunks spoke but before Roxis could speak he continued, "if you're looking for a mate, I'm not going to waste my time on someone who sees me as a half of anything. If she relates me to being a half-breed first or second then I'm not the one for her and vice versa so why waste my time?" Trunks asked and Caballi grinned.
"Spoken as a true son of a prince." Caballi smiled. Goten looked at her then to Trunks and he explained.
"I told her about my family, but not everything, I just don't have it in me to retell so much. I need some time alone, if that's not too much to ask." Trunks stated before leaving the house.
Trunks flew through out the city and then flew beyond the limits at full speed. In the distance he could see what was the makings of a very large and highly technological city. "This must be Vegeta City." Trunks commented aloud to himself as he blasted across the sky. He touched down within the city limits and walked around. Trunks stood amazed at all the high-tech buildings, stands and other things he could see. Trunks wandered through the crowded streets in wonder at all that was to see and do in the city.
"To think that there are only five or six thousand Saiyans on this whole planet, over half have to be here right now." Trunks grinned to himself as he looked at all the stores and products Saiyan peddlers sold.
Trunks received several looks from many of the store owners and he realized it was do to his hair and the fact they new he was a half-breed. Trunks ignored them for the most part but when he started seeing those who passed him start whispering and looking at him, he began to get a little self-conscious. Trunks continued to back away from the crowded part until he was in a less packed area of the streets. He shook his head at the crazed looks many have given him and turned to be on his way to see more of the city.
Trunks continued walking through the streets of Vegeta City until he saw what he believed was the castle where the king and Nel lived. Trunks looked at the building in the distance and sighed. "I guess I should get going." Trunks grinned and turned around.
Before Trunks could react a fist connected with his stomach and then a foot slammed into his face throwing him into the air. Before Trunks could regain his composure he was attacked from behind and thrown into the streets below. He hit the ground hard and struggled to his feet. The sudden attacks hurt like hell since he hadn't expected it and had drained him a lot. Trunks stood to his feet and instantly a large Saiyan restrained him while another began to pummel his stomach constantly.
Trunks yelled out in pain and before another hit could land the Saiyan attacking him was kicked off to the side and the other dropped Trunks in shock. Trunks fell to his knees and coughed up some blood and held his stomach. Trunks lifted his head a little to see brown knee high boots standing in front of him.
"Karro what the hell is wrong with you, he wasn't doing anything!!" Trunks could hear the voice of a woman but couldn't make out who it was due to the pain in his stomach. He fought off his pain knowing that if his father saw him he'd be ashamed. Trunks looked up and saw that Yuna was defending him against two Saiyans; one named Karro and the other most likely a lackey.
"Oh, actually he did, we saw that mongrel kissing you last night and I'm sure if Tomats knew you were carrying on with this filth of society he would have finished him off." Karro growled. Yuna growled and exploded to the second level of Super Saiyan. Trunks knew she was strong but didn't think her power level was almost higher than his.
"If you ever think of touching him again you'll answer to me." Yuna growled and Karro and his friend ran off. Trunks frowned a little, his pride was hurt. If Vegeta had discovered a woman had to stand up for him, he'd never if get Vegeta's respect.
Yuna powered down and turned to Trunks smiling, shyly. "You alright?" She asked smirking, "I can't believe they would attack a half-breed like that." Yuna said in disbelief. Trunks shrugged and looked off to the side still angry with her for interfering. Yuna could tell his pride was hurt but she hadn't expected a half-breed who was easily out classed to ever get angry with her for saving his life.
"I just saved your life and this is my thanks?" Yuna asked slightly annoyed now. Trunks turned to her and sighed.
"I'm sorry, thank you, it's just, my father would be so disgraced that I had to be saved by a woman." Trunks said bluntly. Yuna quirked a brow and sighed.
"Well there was no way you were ever going to beat one of them let alone two. They're both able to reach Super Saiyan 2 and I doubt your half-breed abilities can stand up to that." Yuna grinned. Trunks felt anger towards the phrase 'half-breed'. He was just as strong as she was and it ticked him off she just writes him off as if he's nothing. Trunks was about to storm off but Yuna spoke, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be putting your manhood down like that." Yuna calmed him and Trunks nodded and sighed deeply. He was still in pain but he'd manage.
"Thanks Yuna for… saving me, I'll see you around." Trunks turned to leave but Yuna stopped him.
"I'll be honest with you Trunks just as I was last night, I will never mate with a… half-breed" Yuna spoke and Trunks turned around highly offended and Yuna held her hands up to tell him to let her continue, "I can never be yours and the same holds true the other way around, at least can't we be friends at least?" Yuna asked and extended her hand. Trunks looked at it.
"If you can't mate with a half-breed why can you be friends with one?" Trunks asked with spite in his voice as he turned to leave. Yuna frowned and grabbed his arm and pulled him around to face her.
"Because right now, there isn't a person not even the king whose strong enough to tell me I can't at least be your friend." Yuna said seriously and Trunks sighed before shaking his head.
"I just don't know Yuna." Trunks sighed and she huffed.
"So you're in love with me already? I caught your heart just like that?" Yuna asked and Trunks gasped and stuttered for a moment before catching himself.
"Look, you know how Roxis left the planet trying to find 'Prince Vegeta'?" Trunks asked and Yuna laughed and nodded, "What's so funny?"
"Nel sent him on a wild goose chase everyone knows that Prince Vegeta died with his father while fighting Frieza." Trunks stared at her shocked for a moment before continuing anyway.
"Well he found me and my friend while in space and on my planet I had every woman I wanted. My father never liked the fact that I abandoned training to go play around with women and so I came here to make him proud of me, I want to show him that I can live as a Saiyan… like he used to. I don't want to get side-tracked following you when there would be nothing but heartbreak in it for me." Trunks said seriously. Yuna wanted to speak but couldn't find the right reply to those words after hearing his story. Trunks turned to leave but Yuna stopped him again.
"Well then you know how I feel. Every male on this planet grovel at my feet, even Roxis who's bold enough to hit on Nel. You danced with me, refused me and you even kissed me because you wanted to, no male on this planet would even think of doing any of those things and I doubt any of them would be able to do the first two without fainting." Yuna sighed and Trunks spoke,
"So you want to hang out with me why? So I can amuse you?" Trunks asked.
"No, it's not like that, I can never mate with a half-breed…"
"Why?"
"Because I just wouldn't!" Yuna growled. Trunks frowned and finally sighed. He blasted into the sky and flew away. Yuna growled and blasted back to the castle quite enraged. Trunks flew to the other side of Vegeta city before landing and calming himself. He couldn't believe how pathetic she sounded.
Trunks allowed his temper to flare and his power level to spike. Some of the peddlers in the area were shocked that the half-breed was so powerful. Trunks reigned his anger back in and lowered his energy level quite a bit. He breathed out and in deeply before turning to head back into the city to look around but was met by Karro and his lackey.
"You two again?" Trunks asked now fully enraged again. Karro looked to his friend and grinned.
"Paros let's teach this fool a lesson," Karro grinned and transformed to a Super Saiyan along with Paros, "Never touch an Elite's woman!" The two rushed forward and this time Trunks was prepared and vanished. "What the where is he?" Karro asked and Trunks appeared in front of him and kneed him in his stomach and then kicked him through a building. Paros flew forward and Trunks flipped over him and slammed his heel into the other elite's back. Paros hit the ground with amazing force and struggled to free himself from the pavement below. Trunks flew into the sky to distance himself from the town in hopes that the battle wouldn't do too much damage. Karro and Paros blasted into the sky after Trunks and as they neared Trunks smirked and roared into his Super Saiyan mode.
"Wha…what!!?" Paros yelled appalled and angered, giving Trunks the element of surprise when he elbowed both men in the back sending them back into the pavement below. Trunks knew he was making a scene but at the moment he couldn't care. The ignorance many of the Saiyans showed infuriated him. Trunks growled deeper within his throat and allowed himself to power up while in Super Saiyan form. Paros and Karro stared up in shock before blasting towards Trunks angered and confused. "How can you be a Super Saiyan!!" he roared angered. Trunks shrugged and waited. Paros and Karro both elevated their power levels and ascended Super Saiyan. The two now grinned dangerously at Trunks as Super Saiyans at level two.
Almost instantly Yuna, Nel, Rikku and Cora were at the scene. They had been comforting Yuna calming her down but the moment they felt three Super Saiyans in the distance they left the palace. Yuna stared at Karro and Paros not really recognizing Trunks.
"I see you two are causing more trouble." Yuna growled and started to raise her power level. Trunks turned to her and frowned.
"No thanks I wouldn't want you to have to start saving half-breeds." Trunks growled. Yuna and Rikku were shocked but not as shocked as the others were that a half-breed was a Super Saiyan. Trunks turned back to the two before him ignoring his new audience.
"You're gonna be begging for her to save you in a moment! I guess you're too stupid to feel energy signals, but we'll show you how strong we are!" Karro growled and both blasted forward.
"Stop now!!!" Yuna shouted and the two stopped. She floated in front of Trunks who looked even more pissed than before. "Trunks you're out of your league stop this." Yuna sighed in a soft voice trying not to be too loud. Trunks, on the other hand, growled and erupted into Super Saiyan 2 pushing Yuna away from him. His power level rose well beyond both Karro and Paros. Trunks's eyes turned white as his anger powered him up even more. He rushed towards Paros and kneed him in the face so hard and fast that the Elite fell unconscious and dropped from the sky like a rock. Karro stared in shock and somewhat fear and Trunks turned on him almost instantly.
Trunks spun around preparing a spin kick that would knock Karro's head from his shoulders and as Trunks was about to attack Yuna now in her level two form appeared and tried to block the kick but was thrown off to the side by the power of Trunks's attack. Karro panicked and blasted away. Trunks looked off to where Yuna had finally regained her composure and then blasted off towards Karro refusing to allow the man to escape.
As Trunks closed in on Karro something struck him from behind. He flew forward but stopped quickly before hitting the ground and turned at the extremely high power level above him. Yuna was flying above him at level three. Trunks gasped and flew up to her not in shock of her level but that she would interrupt.
"Get out of my way!" Trunks growled as Yuna powered up even more. Trunks ignored her and began to go after Karro but again Yuna blasted in front of him.
"Enough, you've done enough." Yuna said in a dead serious tone. Trunks growled and pushed his power to it's limits and roared.
"How dare you!!" Trunks shouted and attacked Yuna. She blocked his kick and tried to knock him out but Trunks proved much faster than she thought. He punched her in her stomach and then through Yuna down into the city below. "Stay out of it!" Trunks shouted and pushed his power level even higher. He truly had no clue to where this power came from but didn't care.
Trunks blasted after Karro and caught him just before he got to the palace and slammed him into the ground. Trunks stood above the frightened Elite who shivered and began to plead for his life. "Look at how you grovel at the feet of a 'Half-breed'!" Trunks growled out and lifted Karro from the ground. "I'll set you as an example!" Trunks growled and instantly Yuna kicked him away from Karro.
She was pissed and furious! "Trunks I said stop or else!!" Yuna roared meaning everything she was saying. Trunks recovered faster than she expected and kneed her in the stomach. Yuna growled and took the pain and grabbed his knee and threw it to the side leaving his stomach open to a flurry of attacks. Yuna pummeled his stomach in seconds and delivered a powerful kick to Trunks's face. He flew into the air and regained control so fast that he himself couldn't believe it himself. He blasted back in front of Yuna so fast that neither he nor she realized it and just stared at each other.
Trunks recovered first and slammed his fist into her face sending her flying backwards. Yuna flipped onto her feet and rushed towards him determined to put an end to this no matter what. Trunks was far too strong to allow to go on rampaging through Vegeta City. Yuna ducked under his attack and then kicked him in the stomach and then phased behind him and slammed her fists into his back continuously.
Trunks shouted out in pain and when Yuna sent her final and strongest punch Trunks anticipated the attack and phased behind her causing her to lose balance for a moment allowing Trunks to grab her long hair that was taller than her due to the level three formation and through her into the ground. Trunks lifted his hands above him and created a massive ball of energy.
Yuna hit the ground and jumped out of the ground instantly and stared in shock at the huge ball of energy. "No way…" Yuna gasped forgetting everything but the size of the attack above. Trunks's fury had increased for some reason and soon his power level began to rise along with the power of his attack.
"Heh… ha…ha, ha…. Ha… ha, ha, ha, hah, ha, ha!" Trunks laughed insanely. Trunks prepared to throw the attack as his laughter increased.
"Trunks no!!!" Trunks froze at the voice which he knew as Goku's. Trunks stopped almost instantly and turned around to see Goku right behind him. Trunks allowed the attack to dissipate.
"Goku?" Trunks whispered in shock. His vision blurred and he shook his head and when he looked back to Goku, he saw Goten. Trunks shook his head and returned to normal. "Goten?" Trunks asked as his vision blurred and he passed out. Goten caught him before he hit the ground and shook Trunks a few times.
"Trunks!" Goten yelled but received no reaction. Yuna flew up to the two and frowned.
"He's going to have to answer for what he's done… causing such a scene is not acceptable." Yuna growled and Goten frowned.
"I'm taking him somewhere to get help." Goten growled and teleported away. Yuna was stunned at Goten's instant disappearance. She frowned and thought to herself. She looked for Karro and found him while Paros was brought over by Cora and Rikku. "Whatever you two think you saw here earlier never happened." Yuna warned and then looked her friends. "The same goes for you three as well." Yuna warned as her power level dropped.
"I'll make sure Tomats knows that you're protecting that half-breed!" Paros shouted and Yuna flashed a fierce scowl at him.
"He would have killed you! If you two say anything I'll make sure to let him finish what he started." Yuna growled. Rikku gulped and went to Yuna's side immediately. Yuna calmed down and flashed one more scowl at the two before jumping into the air. "If anyone asks I created the energy attack." Yuna stated and flew away.
In Caballi's home Trunks now laid unconscious on the bed. Goten explained that Trunks had just had too much stress on him and it was only a matter of time before he cracked.
Trunks now dreamed as his body tried to recover from the stress such increases in power brought on.
Trunks was once again in the field of flowers staring at the back of a woman. Upon further inspection he discovered she was a Saiyan. Trunks walked closer and then the woman turned.
"Yuna?" Trunks asked and she smiled and went to him. Trunks stood amazed as she hugged him close. "What are you doing?" Trunks asked shocked. Yuna kissed his lips and smiled once she leaned away.
"I love you Trunks, I do, I don't care about what or who you are… do you love me?" Yuna asked in a worried tone. Trunks nodded and hugged her close.
"I love you so much." Trunks grinned and kissed her again. Yuna jumped into his arms and deepened the kiss. She pulled back with a smirk and jumped from his waist and turned around.
"Make me yours." Yuna whispered but Trunks heard her. He kissed her neck and spun her around. "I want to be with you forever, do you want that?"
"Yes!" Trunks grinned as Yuna laughed lightly from his eagerness.
"Promise to make me yours" She grinned Trunks looked confused and before he could speak Yuna spoke again. "Promise me that you'll be there for me." Yuna said seriously with such vulnerability.
"What? I don't understand" Trunks whispered and before she could answer a beam of power wiped Yuna's body out. Trunks screamed in shock and pain as the attack hit him. Trunks flew backwards and hit his back against the ground. "Yuna!!" Trunks roared as a dark figure rushed towards him.
"Arrrrrggghhh!!!" Brolly roared as he came upon Trunks who was furious. Trunks dodged Brolly's aggression and kicked the massive Saiyan in the ribs and then blasted a large ball of energy. Brolly took the attack and instantly returned with his own. Trunks dodged and kicked Brolly in his face and then phased behind Brolly and kicked him towards the ground.
"I'll kill you!!!!" Trunks screamed and blasted down to attack Brolly but Brolly moved and punched Trunks in his face nearly breaking every bone. Trunks flew far from Brolly from the powerful punch and hit the ground and skidded a few times. Trunks jumped to his feet ignoring the pain and growing angrier. "Damn you!" Trunks roared and as soon as his power increased he felt Brolly's power level spike way up. Trunks gasped as the legendary Saiyan appeared and began to pound Trunks's face in. Trunks was bleeding freely and Brolly threw him into the air.
"Yuna…" Trunks whispered sadly as Brolly's attack soared towards Trunks. Before it could kill him, Goku appeared and blocked the attack.
"Not yet Trunks." Goku smiled.
Trunks shot up in bed sweating. He rolled out of the bed and looked outside and saw that it was pretty late. He rubbed his face at the strange dream and left his room as if in a trance. Caballi saw Trunks leave his room and went to him.
"Goten told me what happened, he and Roxis are at his place, I told them I'd look over you, Goten said that they couldn't trust taking you back to Roxis's place, Trunks what happened?" Caballi asked as he stared at her and shook his head.
"I…" Trunks started but just shook his head. He remembered all that he did and just couldn't talk about it at the moment. Trunks walked into the kitchen area and sat at the table. Caballi entered right after him and sighed.
"You had just as many problems as Roxis, but you're older." She grinned as Trunks quirked a brow at her. "What I'm saying is that being silent won't help you feel any better about what has happened, I'll tell you what I told Roxis many years ago; I'm here to listen if you'll talk." Caballi stood to leave but Trunks stopped her.
"I've been having these dreams ever since first coming here." Trunks sighed and took a deep breathe. "Before I can start to explain my dreams let me tell you about my life." Trunks then went on to explain the battle against Majin Buu, Baby and Super 17. He told her about Goku and the Super Saiyan 4, but Trunks went into depth when he talked about the Legendary Super Saiyan Brolly.
Throughout his entire story Caballi kept a face of calm resolve and when Trunks finished talking about Brolly he began to explain his dreams. "The first came on my way here. I took a supplement to make me sleep for a month and while I slept I remember dreaming about fighting Brolly and he almost killed me if I didn't wake up when I did. Also I felt really disappointed and sad when I thought about my father after I woke up. Now just a while ago I'm sleeping and Yuna is in this field of flowers waiting for me." Trunks paused and gauged Caballi's reaction, "anyway, Yuna tells me she loves me and I return those feelings. She makes me promise to 'make her mine' or something like that and then she makes me promise to protect her. I couldn't even answer her, Brolly came and destroyed her right before my eyes and no matter how much stronger my rage makes me Brolly simply gets more powerful. Just when Brolly is about to kill me again, Goku appears in my dream and says 'it's not time'. Do you see why I'm so messed up?" Trunks sighed as Caballi grinned.
"Trunks you are to do great things, but remember never to ignore your dreams, for they hold truth. Maybe the words this dream Yuna spoke to you are the feelings the real one wants to express but can't." Caballi sighed and thought for a moment, "Why is it that you always fight the legendary one? Were you afraid of him?" Caballi asked but Trunks shook his head.
"No way, Buu was far worse than Brolly, Brolly couldn't re-grow limps like Buu." Trunks sighed and Caballi grinned.
"Maybe you need to take some time to re-define yourself and the person you want to be." Caballi suggested. Trunks shook his head.
"I want to be with Yuna, to make her mine…" Trunks laughed bitterly at the thought and sighed, "I don't even know what that means, do I just sleep with her or something?" Trunks blurted out and Caballi laughed.
"Oh, Trunks it's far more complicated than that. You must go through the Saiyan Mating Dance." Trunks stared at Caballi strangely and smirked, she knew he was about to make a joke but Caballi continued, "the 'Dance' as many youngsters call it is only performed when a female goes into periods of heat every three or four months. She begins to release hormones that can affect a male's mind causing him to lust after her, the catch is, the male must defeat the female in battle if he hopes to try and claim her as his. Normally if the male succeeds in defeating the woman, they exchange blood so that they are connected always." Caballi grinned and showed her neck, "Majority of the time the male bites the female's neck and vice versa. The mark shows that the Saiyan is taken. Once a female has lost a 'Dance' her hormonal patterns will only be readable by her mate. So does that explain what your dream girl meant by 'making her yours'?" Caballi asked as Trunks finally understood why so many men crave Yuna.
"She's pretty much unbeatable and everyone wants what they can't have." Trunks grinned and Caballi nodded. Trunks looked at his hand and shook his head. "I can't look at her after what I've done." Trunks sighed.
"Trunks, you and only you can decide when it's the right time to speak to her, but don't wait forever." Caballi warned and went back to her room. Trunks smiled and sat down in a seat. He walked out of the building and opened the space ship capsule. Trunks wrote a few notes to Caballi, Goten and Roxis. He even wrote one to Yuna and prayed that she would receive it in care of Goten. Trunks looked back at the surrounding area before jumping into the ship and made his way back to Earth.
The next day Goten, Roxis and Caballi were reading the letter Trunks designated to them. "Trunks just up and left?" Goten sighed a little down. His best friend abandoned them. Trunks's letter told them that he needed to get away from everything and that he was returning to Earth. He explained that there was a note to Yunalia that he had hoped Goten would deliver. Trunks apologized for what he had done and begged them all for forgiveness. He also wrote that he didn't know when he'd be back.
Goten balled up his letter and frowned. Trunks had left him the gravity room and a few other things. Roxis incinerated his letter and crossed his arms in thought, Caballi smiled to herself and tucked the letter away for a future reference. "He just up and left." Roxis growled. Goten frowned and shook his head.
"Some friend he was." Goten muttered and instantly Caballi reprimanded both of them.
"Trunks may seem like he has everything but inside he envies both of you, Roxis he wished he could be carefree and as lively as you are." She turned to Goten and spoke, "Goten he wished he his father showed him an ounce of the love you fathered showed you in the years he was still around. Trunks was very unhappy and that's why he looked like he was about to crack yesterday, remember what you told me Goten, you said he looked so defeated. Trunks needs this time away. He doesn't need to be in a place that tells him that no matter what he and the woman he loves shall never be together. Yunalia put an impression on Trunks that I doubt any woman has and the fact she'll never truly be with him is tearing him apart, I better not hear another foul thing about Trunks from either of your mouths." Caballi threatened and instantly Goten nodded and smiled.
"You're right, if Trunks needs some time alone, I should respect that. I'm going to deliver his note to Yuna." Goten grinned Caballi knew that Goten's good heart allowed him to easily forgive Trunks, but Roxis was going to take some work. Goten grabbed the folded papers and vanished.
"I know it hurts that people leave but everything is for a reason." Caballi spoke and Roxis just huffed.
"You told me that years ago, remember?" Roxis flew off bitter and Caballi just sighed.
Goten had reappeared in front of the castle gates and quickly made his way into the courtyard. He phased in and out of sight trying to find which room was Yunalia's room. He had to settle on a balcony with the doors open. Goten slipped in and looked around. "This looks like a girl's room, I wonder if it's Yunalia's?" Goten whispered to himself. He shrugged and was about to set the letter down but Rikku burst into the room shocked to see him standing there. "Hey." Goten grinned nervously but Rikku remained calm.
"What you got there?" Rikku asked ignoring his nervousness. Goten looked at the letter and Rikku spied the name on the front and grinned, "It's for Yunie isn't it?" She asked as Goten cocked a brow and looked at her quizzically. Rikku sighed and walked over closer and snatched the letter from Goten and started to open. Goten grabbed it from her and closed it.
"It's for her eyes only, Trunks told me to give it to her and only her." Goten growled and Rikku sighed.
"Yuna isn't too happy with Trunks after his showing out yesterday." Rikku stated and Goten shrugged.
"Well she's gonna get it because Trunks left the planet and his last wish was that she read this," Goten held the note up and Rikku grabbed at it but Goten kept it out of her reach, "alone. It's for Yunalia not you." Goten deadpanned.
"I'm gonna read it anyway, Yunie is my cousin and I'm positive she'll let me read it." Rikku huffed crossing her arms. As if on cue Yuna walked in surprised to see Goten but somewhat expecting a visit from either him or Trunks today.
"I heard my name being said several times while walking down the hall, I suggest you keep your tone low, you are trespassing." She said to Goten who shrugged and extended the letter to Yuna.
"Trunks left back to our home planet, he wrote this for you, I haven't read it and I didn't let this one read it either." Goten handed the note over to Yuna who stared at it in anger.
"So he just left the planet? He was too much of a coward to confront me?" Yuna asked and Goten became angry she disrespected someone who cared so much for her.
"He was getting sick… Trunks needed time away, yesterday shows that, I almost couldn't recognize him." Goten said looking off to the side. "He's the smartest guy I know and if he feels he is a danger to others and himself then leaving was good for him." Yuna tried to give Goten the note back and shook her head.
"Well I have no use for this, he and I weren't friends… his choice." Yuna said with a hint of spite. Goten refused to take the letter back and answered her.
"Trunks cared about you too much to want to stay as your friend, part of the reason he left. If you don't want to read the letter then fine but as his friend he wanted you to have this and so I got it here." Goten turned and jumped out of the window and vanished instantly. Yuna stared at the note now, while Rikku still seemed amazed by Goten's instant disappearance. Rikku shook out of her amazement and came over to Yuna and tried to take the note from her cousin.
"I'll read it." Rikku grinned but Yuna kept it out of her reach.
"No, it's for me." Yuna said in a low soft voice. She departed from Rikku's room leaving her cousin to stare at her as she left. Yuna rushed to her room and locked her door and began to read the note
Yuna,
I wish I never met you… that way I could never feel the way I do now. I understand what it feels like to want what one can never have. I'll be amazed if you're really reading this seeing as Goten and Roxis will both hate me for saying goodbye to them in a note like I'm saying goodbye to you… in a note. Sorry, anyhow, I know you're probably reading the "half-breed's" letter aloud to all of your friends, but I don't care, I've always played with the hearts of women and now that it's being done to me, I can fully appreciate the strength of those women who survived my cruelty. I don't even know what to say, I bet Princess Nel, your cousin and Cora and her group are rolling with laughs right now. I am a coward like you are all thinking. I ran back to my planet because I'm terrified of being close to you Yuna, because I've never felt this way before… I know I've given you and your friends enough laughs so I'll end by saying, I really want to be your friend and maybe one day I'll be able to bare watching you be with someone else.
Sincerely,
Trunks, the purple haired 'half-breed'
Yuna felt really strange after reading the letter. She placed it in her drawer and paced her room. She felt anger, sadness and there was something else that she couldn't quite name. Yuna paced around her room some more just thinking and thinking. Suddenly tears fell from her eyes as she thought more and more about Trunks. "He's not coming back?" Yuna whispered the truth to herself. At that moment everything seemed to close in on her. She didn't even know if she had any feelings for him but she was panicking because of his absence. Yuna shook the tears from her face and finally after not being able to dry her eyes she just let go. Rikku ran into the room after nearly breaking the door down and comforted her cousin who was crying harder than she had ever seen her cry.
