One Way Out: Book I

by roxyfire57

It was all that bad bad man, Frieza's fault. Vegeta didn't deserve to go to hell. Trunks goes to the past to change his father's, to make sure that Frieza never made him evil. But he is dragged deeper into Vegeta's dark past of death and deception, and the demi saiyan realized-once you are sucked into the real world, there is only one way out. A Trunks & Chibi Vegeta fic.

10. Chapter 8: Missing

Chapter 8: Missing

In which Bulma and Vegeta find out their son has disappeared

"Trunks!"

Bulma continued to bang on her son's bedroom door, frustrated that the child had not woken. It was past 11!

"Get out here, young man, before I get your father to break down this door," she warned. There was no reply.

At this, Bulma started to worry-Trunks was a heavy sleeper, but he usually managed to get up before 9, and there was no way he'd willingly miss breakfast.

The saiyan prince materialized behind his wife, a sweat-soaked towel wrung around his neck. "Woman?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow-he'd detected her anxiety and rushed to her side immediately, relieved she was fine yet confused to her plight.

"Trunks is not waking up," she whimpered, and tears sprang up in her eyes. "I can't get the door open, and no one's answering."

Vegeta pushed her behind him and grabbed the door handle, yanking it off it's hinges. Normally Bulma would have been yelling at his 'uncivilized, reckless behavior', but today she rushed past him-into Trunks empty bedroom.

Bulma froze, and jumped slightly when Vegeta placed a large warm hand on her back.

"Where is he?"

The saiyan said nothing and concentrated, trying but failing to get a hold of his son's ki. He panicked slightly, "he must be hiding his ki... that's why I can't sense him..."

"What?!" The blue-haired scientist gasped. "Look for him!"
