A Night of Entertainment
Part 2
Serena hopped the bar quickly and darted towards the exit of the bar that the bartenders used that was closest to her friend. As she was making her way quickly over to her friend she heard her brother's voice come into her mind from their link she made and never closed.
'Serena don't do anything rash to upset him. I'm coming over.' She heard Gohan say to her.
'It's not me you have to be worried about being rash. It's Sean.' She shot back to him. Just as she finishing her conversation with Gohan, Serena had made it to the end of the bar where she could see the two in plain view and there was nothing stopping her from walking up to them. She made her way up to the couple who were unaware of her approach. As she grew closer she could hear their conversation over the music.
"I told you to leave Sean…there is a restraining order against you." Said Alicia in a scared tone which Serena was able to pick up easily thanks to her good hearing ability.
"Well, that isn't happening, sweetheart. You are coming home with me. No more games. Let's go." He ordered her in an angered tone as he grabbed her forearm harshly.
"Hey! I don't think it's very polite to push people around. Especially when one who has stated she does not want to be around you." Serena said in a firm tone as she walked up to the couple to stand a little in front of Alicia. Serena stood there with a frown on her face her while she stood confidant in front of this bully.
"Well, if it isn't Serena Son. Go home before you cause any trouble." Sean gruffly said to her as she tried to take Alicia with him. Serena stepped further in front of Alicia so she could not go anywhere as he pulled her.
"I'm not the one trying to cause any trouble, Sean. Alicia said she doesn't want to go home with you, so she doesn't have too. So leave her alone and I'll make sure she gets home safely tonight." Serena said in a stern voice leaving no room for argument.
"Like hell she is going with you. She is with me. Now move out of the way before I have to hurt you." He demanded in an angered tone. Sean's usual light skin was starting to turn a shade of red in anger on his face. Alicia noticing that things would start to escalate so she tried to object.
"Serena, please do as he said. I don't want you to get hurt." Alicia pleaded to her friend who looked frighten. Serena turned her body slightly to look back her friend who was behind her with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry about me." She told her, winking at her friend, at the same time. Serena turned her attention back to Sean quickly her smile vanishing just as quickly as it had come.
"No, Sean, you are not going to intimate me to get what you want. She doesn't want to go with you so end of story." Serena shot back to him before turning slightly again to Alicia, Serena, grabbed her right hand that was free.
"Come on Alicia. Let's go back to my table and finish listening to the band." Serena said to her friend coolly ignoring Sean. Serena having dropped her guard for a split second to get her friend to follow her which Serena did not realize that Sean noticed. Having dropped her guard, gave Sean saw the open opportunity he needed to grab her, which Serena did not see coming until it was too late to do anything about it. Sean launched himself towards Serena and grabbed her, with his hand that had been holding Alicia's arm, by the throat and slammed her against the wall. Alicia screamed in horror at what Sean was doing to her friend. As Serena was slammed against the wall unexpectedly, the air in her lungs was suddenly pushed out, and her head hit the wall hard. She tried to breathe in more air but was having a hard time breathing, since Sean's gripped had a good hold on her throat, making it hard for her to breath. As she struggled to get Sean's arm off her throat so she could breath she started to feel even dizzier making it even harder for her to fight back. While Sean had her up against the wall holding her throat he brought his face close to her so that she could see him and hear him plainly.
"I'm going to teach you how a woman should respect a male authority and it starts with obeying his command." He told her angrily. He then closed his gripped even more around her neck making it almost impossible to breath at all now for the young blond.
'Gohan…help…please….' She called out weakly to her brother.
Gohan heard the plea from his sister and knew she was in trouble. He was having difficulty getting through the crowd with there being so many people at the club. So to make it easier and wasting no more time, Gohan pushed his ki up slightly enough for him to move faster and be able to more easily push people aside to get to his sister. Within a few more seconds he made it passed the crowed and was now closer to the corner where he could see the three with no problem. What he saw angered him greatly. He saw Serena up against the wall being chocked by Sean who was struggling to get free. Gohan raced his way over to Sean and grabbed him by the shoulder roughly pulling him back which such forced that Sean had to let go of Serena.
*Back at the Table*
Amy could tell something was wrong. There were only a few reasons why Gohan got serious so quickly and she knew it had to be something bad. She started to scan the area with her eyes to try and find out what was going on.
"Amy, do you know what is going on?" Abby asked her friend in a worried tone.
"No, I don't have the slightest idea. But I have a really bad feeling about it." Amy replied back. She kept looking in the direction that Gohan took off towards but with so many people moving around it was making it hard for her to find him or Serena even with her training as a senshi.
"Do any of you see Gohan or Serena?" Amy asked looking at her friends at school holding a panicky look to them. They all seemed to be looking around themselves for their two friends who had disappeared and had no luck.
"It's too crowded right now since the band just stopped playing to take a break." Nate said. Amy turn to Trunks who she noticed look very uneasy at the moment too. Trunks looked at her with concern in his eyes but held back by staying calm.
"Trunks, can you locate them." She asked hoping he would understand her hint. Trunks look at the young woman before her for a moment and realized what she was asking him without saying it in front of their friends. Trunks nodded his head before getting a serious look on his face and focus his attention to the direction of where Gohan had headed to only a few minute before. Amy just waited hoping Trunks would be able to locate them. She looked over to her friends who seem to be confused with what she had asked Trunks. But she just ignored it for the time being and kept scanning the area herself until she found either Gohan or Serena, or Trunks had found them.
Trunks kept looking in the direction Gohan had went towards but instead started too focused for Gohan's ki level. He noticed it had spiked slightly but not enough to seem to alarming. But now he focused for it in the building to get an idea of where he was at. It took him a minute but he found Gohan's ki and Serena's ki right next to one another.
"Found them, Amy. Over there in the right hand corner by the bar." He said to her. Everyone turn their attention towards the corner but could not see anything because there were so many bodies in that direction.
"I don't see anything Trunks. Are you sure?" Jonathan asked.
"Positive. Both Serena and Gohan are there." He stated in a serious tone. Just then there was a gap that came of people who were moving around and the group could finally see through. What they saw shocked all of them. There was Serena up against the wall by some guy, struggling to get free, and Gohan charging his way towards Serena and the guy.
"Serena in trouble!" said a surprised Amy.
"What is that guy doing to her?" asked a disbelief Josh.
"I've got to help her." Trunks said who then raced off without a second thought towards Serena and Gohan. Amy followed Trunks worrying for her friend's safety. Realizing that seriousness of the situation the other friends followed Trunks and Amy to help their friend.
*Back with Serena, Alicia, Sean and Gohan*
While Gohan pulled Sean back roughly had had the guy spin around at the same time. As Sean spun around he heard someone yell.
"Leave my sister alone!" Sean turned around in time to see Gohan followed by Gohan's fist coming at him. Sean who was surprised by the inference of someone else didn't have enough time to react to the fist that was coming his way. The punch hit him in the face and the force of punch sent Sean flying into the corner of the wall. He hit the wall with a sickening thud and then fell to the ground unconscious not too far away from Serena. Gohan watched as Sean did not get back up. He decided the fight was over although he was still angry with the guy for touching Serena. Instead he made his way over to Serena to make sure she was alright.
Serena was on the ground dazed a little and coughing while she breathed in air to fill her lungs. He knelt down by his sister who had her head against the wall with her eyes closed and coughed while trying to breath. She could feel a burning sensation in her throat from out tight the brute had held her throat and her head was throbbing from the hit it took up against the wall.
"You okay, Serena?" Gohan asked her with a worried tone in his voice. Although he knew his sister was strong and could defend herself and she had been through a lot worse things he still couldn't help himself but to worry for her safety. She opened her eyes to face him with an apologetic look written all her face.
"I'm fine. He didn't do any damage. I just wish I had seen that coming in time to stop him." She replied back to him.
"The important thing is you are safe and he didn't get what he wanted." He said to her.
"You're not upset with me?" She asked him with a somewhat surprised tone to her face. Gohan chuckled at his sister with a smile on his face all seriousness no longer lingering from the previous moments.
"No, I can't be because if I were in your shoes I would have done the same thing." Serena smile at her brother happy that he came to her rescue. Nothing more was needed to be said by the two siblings. Gohan held out his hand to his sister so he could help her up. She took his hand and helped her up from her spot on the ground. Once she was standing again she looked over and saw Alicia who was crying.
"Serena you're alright! I was so scared about what he was going to do to you." She cried to her friend, as she hugged her friend tightly in relief, now that Serena had been saved. Serena returned the hug and tried to reassure her friend that everything was alright.
"I'm fine Alicia. It is all over with. There is nothing to fear anymore." She told her friend as she kept comforting her friend in a soothing tone. Gohan just shook his head at the mess Sean had created. He let Serena handle the upset friend and started to look around. He noticed a crowd had formed and were watching the situation which he then noticed Amy, Trunks and the others trying to get through to them. Once they got through the crowd they made their way over to the group as fast as they could.
"Serena!" Amy shouted. Serena hearing her name being called pulled away from Alicia to see Amy, Trunks and their other friends coming their way all concern. Serena turned her attention back to Alicia who had finally calmed down before her friends got over to her.
"Everything is fine. But you are coming home with me for the night just in case, alright." She told her friend a in a calm voice. Alicia nodded her head with a small smile.
"Thank you Serena for being such a good friend." Alicia said meekly to her friend as the last of her tears stopped coming down her face. Serena went to reply but was stopped by someone asking her a question.
"Serena, are you alright?" Amy asked standing next to her friend with a frantic look on her face. Alicia step to the side of Serena to let the people that were with her see her. Serena smile at her friend.
"I'm fine Ames." She said before hugging her friend with a bright smile on her face.
"I'm so glad. You had us all scared including Trunks." Amy said whispering the last part before pulling away. Serena saw Trunks coming up towards her as Amy pulled away to speak to Gohan.
"Are you alright?" Trunks asked her concern laced in his voice as he came up to her his eyes scanning her body for any injuries she might have. Serena smile at him as she came up to him and let Trunks wrap his arms around her slim waist and hold her.
"I'm fine." She told him with a smile on her face. As Trunks look down at her he noticed faint purple marks around her neck from where she must have been grabbed. His left hand went up to the marks and starts to trace them gently. Serena notice his gaze fell from her face and felt his gentle touch around her neck. She noticed as he kept looking at the marks his eyes started to harden and his lips pressed in a firm frown.
"Trunks…." She called his name as she took her hands to touch his face. The simple gesture brought him out of his thinking. He looked at her his eyes returning to a gentler look. "I'm fine, really. There is no reason to get angry or to worry about. I'd rather just forget the whole thing." She told him. Trunks nodded his head in understanding before giving her a small smile.
"I'm sorry. It's just when I saw what he was doing to you, scared me. I care for you deeply and I don't want anything bad to happen to you." He told her honestly causing Serena to smile and her blue eyes hold happiness as he expressed his feelings to her.
"I feel the same way about you Trunks. I'm just glad that you are here." She said before laying her head against his chest. Trunks just tighten his hold around her making her feel warm and protected. Trunks kissed the top of her head lightly and held her.
*Gohan and Amy*
Amy turn her attention to her boyfriend who seem to have an amuse look on his face. When she was close to him Gohan wrapped both his arms around Amy and pulled her so she was close to him.
"I presume you put Sean in the state that he is in at the moment?" Amy asked with a raised eyebrow her eyes holding a curious look to them.
"Yes, I did and with good reason. He was choking my sister." He replied back to her with a frown on his face. Amy smiled her eyes holding understanding in them.
"I understand why you did it, Gohan. I'm just glad you didn't continue beating him up. I am also glad that both of you are alright. You had me worried there for a bit." She told him.
"I know I did and I am sorry. I just had to act fast and didn't have time to explain." He explained to her. Amy nodded her head.
"I know. I believe you. I'm just glad you are all safe." She told him love shining in her eyes for him. Gohan smiled at her before bending down to kiss her. The kissed was simple but gentle at the same time. He pulled away enough to speak to Amy and never took his eyes off her.
"I love you." He told her.
"I love you too." She said back before Gohan suddenly captured her lips in a more demanding kiss but was still gentle. The young couple pulled way suddenly at hearing voices.
"Get a room you two!" came a familiar joking voice. Gohan and Amy turned to see Jonathan and the rest of their friends standing only a few feet away from them. Gohan just smirked at his friend's playfulness while Amy blush a deep red for being caught for kissing Gohan.
"Serena, are you okay?" Abby asked as she came up to her blond friend who was concerned about her. Serena flashed her friend a big bright smile as she stayed in Trunks' arms but look at her.
"I'm all right." She said to them.
"I can't believe he had the nerve to do that. What an ass." Nate replied in a disgusted tone.
"Alicia, are you okay?" Emma asked her as she came up to stand next to her.
"Yes, I am fine." She replied back meekly as she stayed close by Serena and Trunks incase Sean woke back up. Serena turned to her friend who was standing just a little bit back from her. She walked over to her leaving Trunks' protective arms to stand next to her. Serena smile at her friend a reassuring smile.
"Alicia, everything is okay. He isn't going to be coming after you for the rest of the night. I promise you." She told her friend in a comforting tone. Alicia looked at her in a shock look.
"How can you say that after what he did to you? He could have killed you if Gohan hadn't shown up." She replied hysterically as the tears started to come down her face again.
"She has a point Serena. I can't believe you aren't upset by what happened." Abby stated to her friend. Serena turned to her friends with a frown on her face.
"It's because I won't let people like Sean intimidate and run my life. By his actions and what he tried to do to me tonight that's what his goal was. To make me be frighten and I won't fall for it. I'm stronger than that." Serena declared to her friends her eyes holding a determined look to them. Trunks was surprised by the outburst Serena made to her friends but he understood where she was coming from. He was amazed by her will to stand up to people like Sean and was glad she did it.
"But he won't leave me alone. He'll keep coming for me. The restraining order didn't stop him. He proved it tonight." Alicia replied back while crying again fearing for the next time Sean would show up and no one would be there to stop him.
"We have to put a stop to this. He can't keep doing this to her." Amy replied back sadly at the girl who was practically crying in Serena's arms. Serena nodded her head in agreement.
"I think I have an idea of how to beat him at his own game." Gohan said with a smirk on his face. Everyone turned to Gohan who looked confused at his comment. Gohan though just ignored the looks he was getting and turned to Trunks.
"What are you up to, Gohan?" Serena asked suspiciously. Gohan pulled some keys out of his pocket and tossed them to his sister who caught them with no problem.
"Take my car so Amy, you and Alicia can get home. I will make sure that he doesn't follow you." He told her. Serena looked at her brother for a moment before nodding her head.
"Fine…just don't do anything stupid." She said not wanting to know what her brother was up to.
'There are just some things I'd rather not know.' She thought to herself. She turned to her friend with a smile on her face.
"Well, Alicia, we should get going. It's late and it has been a long night. Besides we want to be out of her before Sean wakes up." Serena told her friend. Alicia nodded her head but didn't say anything. Serena felt bad for her friend who was doing her best to get out of an abusive relationship but yet Sean wouldn't let her leave. Serena slowly guided Alicia towards the door to leave. Amy followed Serena led by being on Alicia's other side to help comfort her friend. While the three women start to make their way out to the car Gohan walked over to Trunks.
"Are you up for helping me?" Gohan asked his friend. Trunks took a look at Serena's back as she left. The thought of someone hurting her angered him deeply. He felt this overwhelming feeling to go over to the guy that had laid a hand on her and beat the living day out of him. But Gohan had beaten him to it. He looked at his friend with a frown on his face and his eyes holding anger in them instead of their normal calmness.
"Sure, I'd love to help. Especially after what he did to Serena who didn't deserve any of it. " He replied back to him with anger tone to his voice.
*Back at the Apartment*
Serena opened the door to her apartment and then turned back around to her friend that was standing right behind her. She turned around and gave her friend a reassuring smile. She then wrapped her arm around her friend's shoulders and slowly led her into her apartment, closing the door, and making their way into the middle of the living room.
"Don't worry Alicia; Sean has no idea where I live." She told her friend.
"How can you be so sure? He could look up your name?" She said quietly looking around the apartment fear in her voice in eyes.
"Because the apartment is not in my name. A friend made it that way so that I wouldn't have to worry about people bothering me." She told her with a bright smile on her face. Alicia looked at Serena skeptically not completely buying the idea that she was safe.
Seeing the look on her face she understood her friend's concern for their safety and had every right to after the way Sean had treated her.
"You know Bulma Briefs?" Serena asked her friend.
"Well, of course everyone does. She runs Capsule Corp and is one of the youngest billionaires in town." Alicia stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Well, I know Bulma and she is a good friend of my family. She got this apartment for me and she put it in a different name, than my own, so that I didn't have to worry about people bugging me." Serena said.
"What?! You actually know her?" stated a surprise Alicia. Serena nodded her in.
"Yes. Now, I would never tell you something if I did not believe it myself. You are safe here. No one can hurt you." She said in a confident tone with a smile on her face while her blue eyes were bright. Alicia took a big deep breath and seemed to relax a little bit before looking at her friend with more trusting eyes.
"I'm sorry Serena. I do trust you. It's just that…" Serena put a finger up to stop her friend speaking and then look at friend into her eyes with a sincerity showing brightly in them.
"Alicia, you have been through a lot. I completely understand that this is not easy for you. But I am here for you and will always be. I am not upset at you for questioning me about your safety. So think nothing of it and let's move on to something that won't have you worrying anymore, shall we?" She said to Alicia ending with a bright smile again. Alicia smile at her friend again before hugging her suddenly which Serena hugged her friend back with no after that.
"Thank you, Serena."
"You're welcome." Serena replied back. As the two girls pulled back from their hug there was a sudden knock at the door that neither expected to hear making the girls jump a bit in surprise.
"Who is at the door?" Alicia asked in a fearful tone her eyes holding dread as she seemed to shrink back a little bit from Serena. Serena looked at the door for a minute before turning back around to her friend.
"It's only going to be Amy since she dropped us off while she went to put Gohan's car in the parking garage." Serena said to her friend. Alicia just looked at Serena her eyes questioning her once again.
"Alicia, trust me, please?" Serena said quietly. Alicia nodded her head and straightens up a bit more although she still could not hold back the dread in her eyes that was showing.
"You're right, I'm sorry." She replied back. Serena smile back at her before turning around and making her way back over to her door. She opened her door to reveal that it was only Amy at the door.
"How is everything, here?" Amy asked Serena. Serena turned her head to look over shoulder to see Alicia had relax a bit more now that she can see it was Amy who was the door.
"We're taking things one step at a time." Serena said back.
"Is there anything I can do?" Amy asked her friend.
"No, I think we're just going to get ready for bed. But thank you for all the help." Serena told her friend.
"Alright, but if you need anything, just let me know." Amy said. Serena smile back at her friend's kindness.
"Of course I will. Good night, Amy." Serena said back to her.
"Good night Serena. Good night Alicia!" Amy said to the two girls.
"Good night, Amy!" Alicia piped up from the living room with a smile on her face. Amy then turned to towards her door to go into her own apartment while Serena shut the door to her own apartment. Serena walked back into the living room and look at her watch on her arm to see the time. The shock registered on her face which did not go unnoticed by Alicia.
"Serena, what is wrong?" Alicia asked in a somewhat panicky voice. Serena look at up at her with a smile on her face.
"I'm just shocked at how late it is. It's two in the morning. We should head to bed." Serena said.
"Is it really that late, already? It doesn't feel like that much time has passed." Alicia said to her friend who seemed to be relaxing a bit more finally.
"Yes, it seems that we have been up for a while. So why don't I go and get you some clean pjs for your and get everything set up. You just sit here on the couch for a moment." Serena told her friend as she pointed to the couch while speaking to her.
"Alright." Alicia replied as she made her self comfortable on the couch. She watched as Serena walked down a hallway and disappear from view. Although she could not see Serena she could hear her moving around quickly in the room.
Finally, starting to relax Alicia turned her attention away from watching the hallway Serena had gone to and started to look around the apartment. She noticed there was a lot different picture that were hanging or standing throughout the apartment. There were many pictures of her friends and family either with her in them or not. Alicia heard footsteps coming towards her again indicating that Serena was returning from the room she had been previously in. The young blond came out changed out of the cloths she was wearing at the club. She was now wearing a pair of gray sweatpants, that were a little long for her so they dragged a bit on the floor, and she had on a light pink long sleeve shirt. Her blond hair was let lose for the night which had fallen so it now lay against her back . In her hands she had a few folded articles of cloths. She came over to Alicia with a smile on her face.
"Here are some cloths for you to change into for the night. I also change the sheets on my bed so it is ready for you to sleep in."
"Thank you, Serena. I appreciate everything you have done for me." Alicia replied to her with a genuinely look in her eyes.
"You're welcome. Now you can take these cloths into my bathroom so you can get changed." Serena told her friend. She handed Alicia the cloths and then had Alicia follow her down the hallway where she had previously gone to, to show her the location of the bathroom. Alicia went into the bathroom, once inside she shut the door, so she could change. While Alicia took her time to change for the night Serena went back into her bedroom to get more blankets for her to sleep with for the night. She went over to her dresser that was to her left in the corner of her bedroom. She went over to it pulled open the bottom drawer. Inside the draw were a few blankets that were folded up neatly there. She grabbed two blankets then shut the draw again. She then walked over to closet that was in her bedroom. She opened the doors and on the shelf there was an extra pillow. She grabbed the pillow that was on the shelf then shut the closet door. The young blond made her way back into the living room with her arms full. Just as she was laying the blankets and pillow on the couch, Alicia came out of the bathroom wearing the cloths that Serena had given her to wear. She had in her left hand the cloths she had been wearing that were folded neatly.
"Don't you feel much more comfortable relaxing in sweats? I know I do after a long day." Serena playfully said with a smile on her face again which cause Alicia to giggle lightly.
"Yes, it does feel good." She said as she began to yawn. Serena laughed lightly at her friend's tiredness finally showing through. "I think I better go to bed before I fall asleep on the floor on you." She finished to her friend.
"I don't think you would get a good night's sleep on the floor but you're more than welcome to try." Serena joked to her friend.
"Maybe another night." She said as Serena made her way over to her friend to show her where her bedroom was at.
"Thank you again for everything, Serena." Alicia told her.
"No problem. Good Night and remember your safe here." Serena told her. Once Alicia was in the room and in bed Serena shut the door so that she did not disturb her while she slept. Serena came back to the living room to look at the clock that was hanging on the wall in front of the couch. It read 2:30. She sighed heavy at how late in the night it had gotten.
"What a day." She mumbled to herself thinking back to the night's events. Not feeling at all a bit tired the young blond decided to head to the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea hoping it may relax her a bit so she could fall asleep. She still felt a bit tense from earlier in the night when Sean had come after her and her head was still throbbing a bit from her head being slammed up against the wall. She went to the kitchen to her stove, grabbed the empty kettle that was sitting on top of it. She then went over to the sink to fill it with water. As she filled it up with water she noticed some dishes that had not been washed yet. Once it was filled she put it back on the stove and turned it on. She then went back over to the sink, to wash the few dishes that were there, while waiting for the water to boil. While Serena was washing the dishes she didn't hear someone coming up behind her.
"Serena." Her name was suddenly called out by a deep familiar voice. The young blond jumped in surprise at hearing her name being called so suddenly. She whipped around to find Trunks standing before her.
"Trunks!" She said his name in a surprise tone. Trunks having watched her reaction back up a few steps not expecting her to react in such a way.
"I'm sorry, Serena. I didn't mean to startle to you. I knocked on your door but you didn't answer." He explained to her with an apologetic look to his face. Serena took a deep breath in relief from being startled.
"No it's alright. I should have been paying more attention." She told him sheepishly. As she turned to her side so she cold shut the water off that had been going from washing the dishes and put the wash cloth down at the same time. She turned back around smiling at him.
"Are you ok?" He asked her concern evident in his voice again which didn't go unnoticed by Serena.
"Yes, I am. You just caught me deep in thought." She said as she walked over to him. "I've have this bad habit to start thinking and not always hear things around me. It used to get me into trouble a lot in school when I was younger. I don't do it as much now but once in a while it does happen." She told him. Just then the kettle began to whistle very loudly in the kitchen. Serena went to the stove to turn it off.
"Would you like some tea?" She asked Trunks who was watching her the entire time.
"Yes, please." He replied back. Serena pulled out two cups from a cabinet to the left of the stove and places them on the counter. She then grabbed two tea bags from a box that was just underneath the same cabinet from where the cups came from into the cups and next poured some water into cups.
While Serena was preparing their drinks Trunks watched her back that was towards him again which was when he notice a bit of red in her blond hair at her head. Trunks walked up behind her and lightly touched the area. Upon feeling something touch an area of her head Serena hissed slightly and stopped what she was doing for a second. Trunks realize immediately that Serena was hurt by her reaction of him touching it.
"Serena, what happened to your head?" He asked with a serious tone to voice. She turned half around and put her hand to the area he had just touch lightly winching at the touch.
"When Sean grabbed me he slammed me up against the wall making my head it the wall pretty good. It hurt like hell at the time. Why?"
"Well, there seems to be a bit of blood in that general area from your head being hit. You should let me take a look at it. It should get properly cleaned so it doesn't get infected." He told her. She sighed heavy realizing that she hadn't had time to deal with herself since after the incident with Sean. She had been so wrapped up in helping Alicia she forgot about herself.
"Okay. The first aid kit is in the bathroom. I'll bring our drinks out to the living room if you want to grab the first aid kit for me." She told him. Trunks smile at her.
"Sure." He then proceeded to get the items she had listed to him and a few other things he believed were needed while she finished making their tea. The young couple met in the living room. Trunks was sitting on the couch with the first aid kit on his lap. Serena came over with the two cups in her hand. She gave Trunks his and then sat down next to him holding her cup in both her hands.
"I guess you're here now because you and Gohan finished your mission that involve with Sean." She asked him curiously. Trunks smirk at the comment making him look much like his father at the moment.
"Yes, we finished our mission. Alicia won't have to worry about him coming after her anymore." He told her in a matter of fact tone. Serena just shook her head after taking a sip of her drink.
"Well, I hope you didn't hurt him to much. But I am pleased to hear that he will be leaving her alone." Serena replied softly her eyes holding compassion in them as she thought about Sean and what Gohan and Trunks might have done to him. Trunks took a few sips of his tea before putting it down on the coffee table that was in front of the couch.
"Why don't I take a look at your head now?" Trunks offered with a small smile on his face. Serena turned her back to him to let him take a look at her head. While Trunks began to touch the area of her wound as gentle as he by pulling some of her golden locks out of the way to get a better view of the wound. Serena was amazed at how gentle he was being with his touch. He began by taking a piece of cloth and putting a bit of alcoholic on it.
"Now this is going to hurt a bit. You ready?" He asked her quietly.
"Yes, I'm ready." She told him without a second thought. Trunks then tabbed the wet area of the cloth over the wound as lightly as he could to clean the area of any infection. Serena winced at the first dabbed on her head but then did her best to ignore the pain. Trunks was amaze at Serena being so quiet as he cleaned her wound. He had expected her to make some sort of noise or jump when he started to clean it. Instead she just sat quietly while drinking her tea.
"Your wound isn't too bad. It appears to be just a small cut that opened up. But it will be sore for the next few days." He told her.
"That's alright. I've been through a lot worse." She replied back without thinking about what she had just said. Her eyes widen in shock at her realization of what she had just said to him. Luckily for her, her back was towards him so he didn't see her reaction.
"Really? How? You don't seem the type to fight." He said her. Serena sat there for a moment racking her mind of what to say. She was trying to think of something fast. This was the second time she has said something to almost blow her cover about her abilities to fight. If she wasn't careful then Trunks would find out about her life as Sailor Moon.
'I'm so stupid. I need to watch myself.' She thought to herself. 'I don't know why but when I am with him I feel to just state the truth to him even though I know I shouldn't.
"Well, you see living with my brother and Dad to play with them was sometimes ruff. After all, Dad is full sayian and we were still young, Dad would forget his own strength. You have seen how forgetful he could be at times now. He would forget that he was much stronger than us. But he never did it on purpose though." She told him. Serena felt so bad to lie to Trunks.
"I wouldn't know.." he said quietly. Serena hearing the pain in his voice made her heart sink realizing that this was something else he never got to experience in his past. The young blond turned around quickly on Trunks and looking at him with a frown on her face her blue eyes holding sympathy and sorrow in them.
"Trunks I am so sorry." She said to him. As she looked at him she could see he was trying to hold back the pain from his past resurfacing. He put his arms down and looked at Serena with a small smile on his face.
"Serena I know you were just explaining something that has happened. It's alright." He told her.
"It's not alright. You never got to have a family and do all the family things that families do because…." She started to say to him but was stopped by Trunks with his lips landing on her lips so unexpectedly. His kiss to her was gentle and sweet. He pulled far enough away from her so he was looking into her deep blue eyes.
"You are right there are a lot of things I have never got to experience in my life that most normal people have such as yourself. But to try and hide that I haven't experience such things isn't going to make it any better. But I'm learning new experiences thanks to you. Your compassion and understanding that you hold for people is a new experience for me. I have never seen anyone such as your self have such a way with helping people. In my world most people didn't help one another. This is something new I am experience by being with you and one of the thousands reasons why I think I am falling for you." He declared to her openly. Serena's blue eyes were filled with happiness at hearing Trunks' confession to her. She heart skipped a beat at hearing such words come from. Not knowing what to say to him she was so at a loss for words so she did the next best thing which was go with her instincts. She closed the gap between her and Trunks quickly and kissed him fully with a bit of force from moving in so fast to close the gap between them but it was still a soft kiss on the lips. Trunks responded to the kiss whole heartily. But their passion they had for one another grew quickly. As the two kept kissing Serena wrapped her around Trunks' neck pulling her self closer to him which Trunks helped by wrapping his arms around her waist to pick her up and put her on his lap. He picked her up while still kissing her and put her down on his lap so she was facing him and her legs were wrapped around his waist now. Serena pulled herself close to him.
Just then Trunks mouth move away from hers and start trailing kisses down her neck. Serena craned her neck to the side to allow him more access moaning softly as he trailed kisses down her neck and collarbone. Once he kissed to where the exposed skin was met with her shirt, he made his way back up the path had just came down, causing Serena to moan softly again, until he reached her lips. He started kissing her lips again wishing accessed to her mouth which she gave to him. Trunks' let his feelings guide him so he started to have his hands roam her back until they came to the bottom of her shirt. His right hand found it slipped underneath her shirt and started roaming around her stomach feel his hand touch her flesh. His hand started going up until it touched her right breast that was covered by her bra. This feeling caused Serena to moan. Trunks enjoyed hearing her moan and seeing this as way to make her keep doing it then slipped his hand under the bra to cup it causing her to moan a bit louder. He squeezed it lightly messaging it which made him aroused himself he realized. Serena feeling Trunks touch her breast with his bare hand felt good she realized. The way he messaged it ached her wanting more. He let go of the right breast and made his way over to the left breast and did the same thing again which caused Serena to moan. Trunks using his hand that was supporting her back pulled her closer to him and then the hand that was on her back went to down to the end of shirt and start to pull up on it.
Realizing where things were leading to Serena pulled away from Trunks. The kissing ceased abruptly and she looked at him with her breathing ragged, her blue eyes filled with passion and excitement but a frown on her face. Seeing the look on her face made him stop and look at her with confusion swirling in his own blue eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked her his own breathing ragged from their passionate moment.
"Trunks, I do feel the same way for you. But I also know where this going and we are not at that stage in our relationship to take things farther just yet." She said to him. It took Trunks a second to realize what Serena meant. But the clarity came very quickly to him.
"I'm sorry Serena. I don't know what came over me. I didn't…" he started to say but Serena giggled with a smile and but her finger to his lips to stop his rambling of an apology from coming out.
"I do. It's called hormones and passion. Plus, there no need for you to apologize when I let things go as far as they did. I'm not upset at where they went. I enjoyed our making out session as much as you did." She replied giggling at him with a smile graced on her lips at cute attempt to apologize to her. Trunks smile at her at hearing her confession to him and pulled her closer to him again.
"I'm glad to hear that. I just want you to be happy and don't want things to go to far until your ready." He told her. Serena hearing this made her smile more at him.
"I am happy with you Trunks, more than you'll ever know." She said with a mischievous look that seems to come into her eye. She took this his hand right hand and put her underneath her shirt and guided it back up to her breast again. She then leaned closer to him so her mouth was up to his ear.
"Just because I don't want things to go any further, for now, doesn't mean we can't enjoy what we were doing before, right?" She whispered huskily to him causing him to shiver at the feeling of her breath up against his ear while his hands cup her breast.
"I don't see why not." He replied back huskily his blue eyes filling with passion once more.
"Then we both agree that we'll just take these new experiences for us both one step at a time." She whispered to him.
"Yes." Was his only reply as his breath became a bit more ragged as she excited him once more.
"Good." Was Serena's only reply as she kisses his ear, and then trailed kisses down his cheek until she reached his mouth. She lingered for a moment not kissing him, her hand leaving underneath her shirt to let him do his own pleasures to her with her breasts. She wrapped her arms back around his neck.
"Now, where were we?" She asked him quietly. Trunks smirked at the young blond before with who seemed to have a hold of him that he never thought would be possible.
"I believe I was kissing you." He told her. Serena smile at him before kissing Trunks passionately again who returned the kiss back with just as much passion.
