Ch 29
Buried in paperwork, Trunks sighed as he went through the stack as fast as he could. Every time he looked up, the stack didn't look any smaller. Before he could let out another sigh, a knock came to his door and in walked his secretary.
"Excuse me Mr. Briefs but I couldn't stop him from-
Trunks looked up to see an annoyed Daw standing next to his secretary. "It's all right. I'll handle this thank you," he said as his secretary nodded and closed the door. Trunks stood up and walked towards him. "What are you doing just barging into my office?"
"I was suppose to meet your mother here, but I couldn't find her. I thought you might know where she is."
"She's about to open the door," he said as Bulma walked right in.
"Sorry sweetie I had plans to show Daw here around Capsule Corp. I had something I needed to attend to so come on Daw I'll show you around."
Trunks had a bad feeling about Daw, but he wasn't sure if it was just his distrust of most people or something to worry about, so he went back to work.
"Well Bulma this place is truly impressive. You're a very smart, beautiful, and accomplished woman."
"I can't take all the credit. My father started this place. I'm honored that I got the chance to follow in his footsteps." As she turned around to face Daw, she was startled to find herself trapped by his body against a wall. "Da-Daw, what are you-?"
"It's been a long, long time since I've been with a female, and you my dear are perfect."
"N-no! I'm mated. You can't-
He smirked. "I don't care," he said as he hand found its way moving up her leg. He could feel her struggle, which spurred him on even more.
"Daw, please don't do this! L-let go of me!" she screamed.
Meanwhile at the Briefs home Vegeta finished training in the gravity room. He had worked hard today and felt it was deserved with a big meal. When he spots Goten walking his way, he curses but manages to calm down.
"If you're looking for Bulma or Trunks, they're not here."
"Um," he rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "I was actually looking for you Vegeta."
"What for?"
"Well I wanted to know how you and Bulma have survived all these years of being mated."
"It wasn't easy. There were times when she didn't feel like she wanted to be mated anymore. Our verbal fights were pretty bad. At the end of the day we knew we didn't mean the horrible things we said to each other. She believed in us after everything we've been though. She still does. Every mating experience is different Goten."
"There's no doubt in my mind that I want to be with Trunks forever. I just wanted you to know after all the drama I've been going through that I'm here for your son. I promise to take care of him the way he's always taken care of me no matter what happens."
Vegeta smiled. "I have faith in you Goten. You've always been there for my son. There's no need to tell me so. I've all ready known."
"Thanks Vegeta," he said as he smiled before he saw the look in the Prince's eyes. "What's up?"
"Bulma's in danger," said Vegeta as he flew at top speed with Goten trying to catch up.
Trunks was walking down the hall, trying to get his mind off the stacks of papers on his desk when he sensed his mother in distress nearby. Rushing to the door, he heard his mother scream so he removed the door from its hinges and saw Daw feeling his mother up. "Hey, get away from my mother!" he yelled as he flew at Daw in a rage and punched him and his body flew across the room. Turning back, he saw his mother fall to the floor. "Mom!"
"I-I'm ok. you came just in time Trunks," she said as he helped her up. She gasped. "Trunks, watch out!"
Trunks saw Daw coming and kicked him hard in the gut, and he fell to the ground. "What the HELL do you think you're doing?"
"Couldn't resist," Daw smirked as he stood up as Vegeta and Goten rushed in.
"What's going on here?" demanded Vegeta as he looked at Daw's cocky expression and then look to his mate, who looked disheveled with fear in her eyes.
"He tried to force himself on mom," said Trunks as he powered, "and now I'm going to make him wish he was in hell."
"Take care of your mother Trunks I'm going to take care of him. Now get her out of here now."
"But father I-
"NOW TRUNKS!" Vegeta yelled as Trunks led his mother out of the room and to his office. "Goten, I need a favor."
"Right," Goten nodded as Vegeta flew towards Daw and knocked him out.
Goten took Vegeta and Daw's unconscious body to a deserted area. Looking away, Goten knew Vegeta had reduced Daw to dust and when he turned around, he saw nothing but anger in his eyes.
"Vegeta."
"Lets go Goten."
They appeared in Trunks' office to see Trunks holding his mom. Sensing his father and mate, he looked to them and stood up, letting Vegeta sit beside his wife and hold her. Trunks led Goten out of the office and walked out of the building with Goten right behind him.
Walking around the city, the silence made Goten feel uneasy, especially since Trunks was holding his hand so tight. "Trunks, it wasn't your fault."
"I had a feeling he was bad news. I shouldn't have let her go with him alone. What the hell was I thinking?"
"You were thinking that you wanted to trust him."
"It was foolish of me Goten. Now my mother is upset and I can't do anything about it."
"Vegeta will take care of her Trunks. You can be there for her to Trunks."
"Dad killed him, didn't he?"
"Yeah your dad asked me to take him faraway to take care of him."
"Good now he can never hurt anyone else but it just makes me wonder if he's done this before."
"I'm sure Bardock might now," Goten said as he realized something, "if he knew Daw was dangerous, then my family could have been hurt."
Trunks sighed. "I have to get back to work," he said as they ended up back at Capsule Corp.
"Are you sure Trunks? Maybe we should go to your house so you can be with your family. I'll even stay the night if you want."
Trunks grabbed him and kissed him roughly on the mouth. They broke for air, and Trunks smiled. "I love you chibi."
"Ye-yeah," said a dazed Goten. "I love you to."
