Chapter 2

Trunks stopped at the bottom of the Shrine, 'This is the place, but I also sense those powerful Ki signatures here as well. I will have to be on guard...'

He started up the stairs, his eyes darting around trying to locate the powerful Ki users. At the top, he saw a group of six people, four girls around his age, one young girl maybe about ten, and one slightly older man maybe a year or two older than Trunks. He glanced around and he determined the Ki signatures were coming from them.

With his guard still high he stepped closer to them, "Usagi, we have to study we have a math test tomorrow." A girl with long black hair told a girl with long blonde hair in two pigtails with buns at the top.

"Excuse me." Trunks said. Everyone in the group turned to face him. His face got a pink tint as he was not use to this focus on him by people he didn't know.

"Can I help you?" The black-haired girl asked him with her arms crossed.

Trunks gave them a smile, "My name is Trunks. Is Usagi here?"

The girl with the pigtails bowed, "That's me. I am so sorry! I forgot you were coming today."

"That's okay..." Trunks told her.

"Who is this?" The girl with blue hair asked.

Usagi turned to her friends, "This is Trunks, he is staying with us for six months."

"What do you mean he's staying with you?" The other blonde girl asked.

Trunks crossed his arms, "My mother wants me to make friends and go to an actual school. Since our mothers are friends she asked if I could stay."

Usagi smiled as she introduced her friends to Trunks. Soon, Trunks was in Rei's room sitting next to Mamoru as the girls started to study for school. Ami looked at Trunks, "You are going to attend school, right?"

"Yes, Juban High School." Trunks told her.

"We go there as well." Minako told him, "You'll know us at least, we are friends now."

Trunks smiled slightly, "We have to be going, Ikuko wants us home for dinner."

Usagi, ChibiUsa, and Trunks walked back home. Once they got home Ikuko had them wash up before dinner. Ikuko had a spread of food, "Since it is Trunks' first night with us, I figured we could have a large dinner." She said as everyone sat down at the table.

"Thank you, Ikuko. You didn't have to do this." Trunks told her. She waved him off as they all began to eat. After dinner, Trunks went to his room not sure what to do, he took off his jacket and draped it over a chair. He decided to read the book his father gave him. Trunks sat on his bed and opened the book, the first Kingdom in the book was on the Namekians. Even though he knew about the Namekians he still read the chapter, in the middle he heard a soft knock on his door.

Trunks marked his place and closed his book, he walked over to the door. When he opened it, ChibiUsa was standing there, "Um, hi...can I help you?"

"You like to be alone huh?" She asked.

Trunks crossed his arms, "Yes, is there something wrong with that? Besides, it is getting late. Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"No. I want you to read me a story, please?" ChibiUsa looked up at him with the same look that his little sister would give him.

"Fine, let's go brat." He gave in, 'She reminds me of Bulla when she wants something...'

They walked down the hallway to her room, she climbed into bed. Trunks found a chair and sat next to her bed. ChibiUsa handed him a book of fairy tales, he opened it to a story. He began the story, he read it to her the way he reads to Bulla. When he got to the end he looked over and saw ChibiUsa was sleeping, he smiled softly. Trunks covered her up, put the book down and left the room. On his way back to his room he ran into Usagi.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"It's fine, are you okay?" He asked. For the first time that day, he looked into Usagi's beautiful blue eyes. In his chest he felt a pull, his heart was beating fast. Trunks didn't wait for an answer from her, he went to his room and shut the door. He grabbed the notes his father gave him, 'What was that feeling? Is it a Saiyan thing?' He flipped through the notes quickly. His eyes scanned each page for an answer. Trunks found the section on mates, 'Trunks, when you find your one, you will know. When I met your mother, I denied how I felt because I was not in the right mindset, I knew she was my one. I looked into her eyes and my heart started to beat faster and I felt a pull in my chest. This, in Saiyan culture, means you have found your one. Saiyans only mate once in their lifetime. Whoever your mate is, it will be hard to be around them at first, because your inner beast will want to mark them and claim them as yours.'

Trunks put the notes down, sitting on his bed he groaned. He needed to clear his head for a while, Trunks listened to make sure everyone in the house was sleeping and snuck out his window. He flew into the sky, letting his mind wander to what his father wrote, 'He said it would be hard to be around her...I am living with her! Damn it! I can't just avoid her...' Trunks landed in a secluded area, he got out the portable gravity chamber and set it up.

He walked in and trained for a couple of hours trying to get his thoughts in order. After he trained for a couple of hours he went back into his room. He slept for about four hours when his alarm went off. Groaning, Trunks got up and got his jacket and headed downstairs to sit at the table. "Good morning, Trunks, are you ready for your first day?" Ikuko asked as she set food on the table and some coffee in front of Trunks.

"Yes, I suppose." Trunks told her as he ate some breakfast. He heard a lot of commotion upstairs, "Is that Usagi and ChibiUsa?"

Ikuko nodded, as Usagi and ChibiUsa came into the room, "We are going to be late!" She exclaimed.

Trunks stood up, "I can drive us, we won't be late." He offered. 'Why in the hell did I offer that?'

Usagi smiled, "Thank you!" After they ate, Trunks along with Usagi and ChibiUsa went outside, Trunks threw a capsule onto the road revealing a car. They got in, and Trunks drove ChibiUsa to school. Once she was out of the car, Trunks headed to Juban High. "Trunks...did I do something last night? You ran away quickly." Usagi asked looking at her hands.

He glanced over at her, "You...You didn't do anything, Usagi. I'm sorry, it is something with me. I can't tell you." Trunks told her. The rest of the ride was quiet, Trunks stopped in front of the school, he and Usagi got out of the car and he returned it to its capsule.

They met up with Ami, Makoto, and Minako, at the gates. The three girls were shocked to see Usagi at school on time. "You are on time, Usagi." Minako told her, "I'm proud of you."

"I am guessing Trunks had something to do with it?" Makoto teased.

Trunks avoided their eyes, they walked into the school, Trunks was behind them. He was lost in his own thoughts and feelings, 'I should contact Dad later today...I need to talk with him about this whole thing with Usagi...' He found his class, which just so happened to be Usagi's and the others as well. 'Fuck...I thought that I could distance myself from her at school.' The teacher came in and saw Trunks standing as the other students filed in.

"You are the new student, right?" She asked.

Trunks bowed to her, "Yes, I am ma'am."

"I want you to sit next to Usagi." She pointed to the empty desk next to her.

'The universe hates me...' Trunks walked to his seat noticing people staring and talking about him.

Usagi smiled at him, "I am so glad you are here, Trunks. We can struggle together."

His cheeks went pink, he just nodded, and looked at the board. 'This is going to be hell...maybe if I just try and take my mind off of it? Damn it, I really need to talk with Dad...'

By the second lesson rolled around, Trunks was already bored. He just started to draw new designs in his book. The teacher was walking around making sure everyone was doing their work. She stopped beside Trunks' desk. "Young man, I know you are new here but that does not give you a free pass from doing work."

Trunks didn't say anything but handed her the assignment completed, "It was easy. I finished it before you even explained it."

She scoffed and looked over it, "H-How did you?"

"How did I know? Because I have learned this stuff already. I am here because I was told to be here. Honestly, I am one of the smartest people on this planet, hell in the universe." Trunks told her with a smirk on his face.
