Chapter 10: What's wrong Rin?

"Here you guys go! It's all done!" Bulma said as she moved aside, to let the three children see what she had made.

"Wow! It's so beautiful Aunt Bulma!" Chiyo said as she stared with wonder at the waterfall and the small area around her in the forest that her aunt had cleared for her, Goten and Trunks.

"Perfect! Just what we need! A place-"Trunks started.

"-to hide when Uncle Vegeta get's mad and-" Goten continued smiling.

"-to play around in when we're bored!" Trunks finished.

"This will be so aweso-"Goten and Trunks started to say but..

"Guys! Is that all you think about!" Chiyo said interrupting them. "Aunt Bulma said it was a place that we could use to relax!"

"Who needs to relax when we could have fun causing trouble…uhh, I mean playing games" Trunks quickly corrected himself, seeing that his mother was still there.

"Now, don't get into too much trouble, okay guys. I still have some work left to do in the lab, so I'll leave you lot here for now. Remember to come back before dinner 'kay!" Bulma said, before turning around and leaving, back the way she came.

"So, what do we do now?" Chiyo asked curiously, but curiosity turned to apprehension as soon as she saw the look on Goten's and Trunks' faces.

"Well…"


"Another memory huh?" Rin sighed, slowly opening her eyes and turning to stare at her clock. "Seven thirty." She read out loud. "Might as well get up" She thought, as she got up and started getting ready for another day at school.


"Hey Rin!" Trunks smiled as he saw her come in to the classroom. Rin, hearing his voice, looked up and smiled slightly walking towards him and sitting down in the seat beside him. She heard Goten come from behind her and walk towards the seat on Trunks other side. The teacher walked in after him and the class started.

'Well, at least now I know why I've always been interested in martial arts…and why I made friends with Goten and Trunks so easily,' Rin thought sadly. She still hadn't thought of a way to tell Trunks and Goten about her, even though it had been two weeks since she had regained her memories. She hadn't even told Daimon about herself as she was still unsure on what to do.

'How do I get them to believe me…what if they think I'm lying to them…No! I've got to stop thinking like this. They'll know it's me…and I have to tell them soon…it's as father used to tell me, the longer you put things off, the worse off you are…although he was talking about his bills that one time…' Rin's thoughts trailed off and looking up, she saw Trunks and Goten intently writing down notes.

Trunks looked up feeling someone watching him, and seeing Rin, he smiled slightly. Rin seeing the smile, blushed and looked down. 'Stop thinking about the kiss! We were so young then, and it meant nothing to you and him. He probably doesn't even remember it!...Uh, why do you even care Rin!,…no Chiyo…I'm Rin…no, I'm Chiyo…Rin…Chiyo… Rin…Chiyo…Rin…Chiyo…Rin…Chiyo…'

Without realising it, Rin started shaking her head and Trunks, feeling the movement, looked up to see a distressed look on Rin's face.

"Argh! My name is Rin!" Rin shouted out loud, looking up…and suddenly stopped. Her eyes widened. 'I said that out loud didn't I?' She thought to herself as her peers looked up at her curiously.

"Is there something wrong, Miss Masen?"

"Uhh…no, I…uh…"Rin didn't know what to say, and her eyes started to water.

Realising something was wrong, Trunks stood up, "Sorry, that was my fault sir. Rin's not feeling well you see, and I was provoking her. May I please take her to the nurse?" Trunks said as he grabbed Rin's hand, forcing her to stand up as well.

"Very well, but understand this, I will not allow another disruption in my class, so do not return if you feel you won't be able to concentrate!"

"Thank you sir. Come on Rin."

"Huh, what…Trunks wait a minute!" Rin shouted out confused as Trunks dragged her out of the classroom, down the corridor and stairway, and…

"This way Rin," Trunks said, leading Rin to the parking lot.

"Wait! What? Where are we going? I thought you said you were taking me to the nurse." Rin replied with a very confused look on her face.

"Don't think I haven't noticed. Goten and I would have to be absolute idiots not to know that something's wrong with you!" Trunks said as he unlocked his car.

"What do you mean?" Rin replied, a shocked look on her face. 'Does he know? How did he find out?" She thought worriedly.

"Come on, get in Rin." Trunks said, from his position in the driver's seat.

"Trunks, answer me! Where are we going?" Rin demanded, but got into the passengers seat nevertheless. It was useless arguing against Trunks as she had learned three weeks ago. 'Before the incident,' she thought wistfully.

"It's a surprise." Trunks replied with a smirk, before starting the car, and driving out of the parking lot.

15 Minutes Later

"Come on Rin! The place is just through these bushes." Trunks stated, a few steps ahead of Rin, leading the way through the small forest.

"Wow. I never knew the Capsule Corp grounds had a place like this." Rin said surprised, although with not as much surprise as there would have been two weeks ago, Trunks noted.

'This looks familiar…but where...and when…have I …?' Rin thought, as she followed Trunks.

"And here we are!" Trunks smiled, as he moved aside a tree branch to allow Rin to walk past him to the small clearing, then walking in after her.

Rin looked around in shock. She was standing in a small clearing facing a miniature waterfall…'artificial waterfall…I remember now…' she thought.

Seeing Rin staring at the waterfall, Trunks felt he should say something about it. "The waterfall is actually-"

"Artificial." Rin interrupted him, whispering quietly, but, Trunks heard nevertheless.

"Aunt Bulma cleared out this area and made the waterfall for us when we were three." Rin continued absentmindedly. "A place to relax she had told us but we used to come here all the time when we got bored or were in trouble and wanted to hide from Uncle Vegeta." She finished, staring sadly at the waterfall. Too late did she realise her mistake.

"What did you say?" Trunks asked, completely shocked.

Rin's eyes widened in shock as well. "Nothing! It was nothing! You probably heard wrong!" Rin blurted out quickly, looking around frantically as if searching for a hole in which she could escape or hide.

"No. I know what I heard. Why did you say that?…How do you know that?" Trunks growled out, taking a step towards Rin who looked like hell had frozen over.

Seeing Trunks stepping towards her, she subconsciously took a step back, and unable to think of a way to deal with the situation she was in, she turned around and ran.

"Need to get away. Need to get away!" Rin thought, running wildly. She came out of the clearing, and found herself in front of Capsule Corp, and without thinking, she ran inside, up the stairs, and to where she remembered Trunks room used to be. Arriving outside the room, she ran inside, and slammed the door shut behind her, leaning heavily against the door.

In her haste and worry she had forgotten one very important fact: They were Saiyans. And Trunks trained. A lot. There was no possible way she could out run him.


Trunks just stood there though. He was frozen in shock. 'She can't be!' he thought, but he became unsure the more he remembered the things that had happened. 'No one knew about this place apart from Goten, Mother and I…and Chiyo. Goten wouldn't tell anyone, and neither would mother for that matter…so that only leaves…Chiyo.' Sighing, he tried to reason with himself. 'She can't be Chiyo. If she was, she would have told us! What reason does she have not to…but, come to think of it, she has the same hair and eye colour as Goten…but it could just be a coincidence … … I have to go find her. And then, if she is who I think she is…well…' Trunks thought to himself before running out of the clearing, and back towards capsule corp.
