Mackenzie
chapter twenty six
We landed at a deserted ally. I then noticed that he didn't have his sword on his back, nor the sheath.

What happened to your sword? I asked, looking at him as we emerged from the dark ally way and into the street. He looked at me and smiled.

I left it at your house, since I might not be able to go into many stores here if I did wear it he said, looking at his feet, I smiled, I knew why...

Ah..so where do you want to go first? I asked, looking at all the possibilities that was in view at the time.

I don't what is here...so I guess you have to pick He said, watching some people walk by laughing. He smiled and looked at a clothing store. He pointed.

There? Why? You don't wear women's clothes...do you? I asked, staring me. HE looked at me, surprised.

No! Why would I? Its for my mom he said, looking at me funny. I laughed and we started for the store.

Thats what I thought I said, smiling. I'm glad you don't wear women's clothes, because then you would be stealing mine...cause it don't look like you have any with you... I said, pointing at the outfit he had on. He looked at his outfit.

Whats wrong with my outfit? he asked, looking me intently as we entered the store. I laughed.

Nothings wrong with it, you don't to be so protective! I said, looking some of the clothes that was there. What does your mom like?

Well...she likes....um....stuff he said, turning a bit pink. I smiled.

And exactly what is....st-

Mackenzie! Hi! I heard, I turned to look at the owner of the voice, so did Trunks. It wa Devon.

Hey Devon I said, waving at her, she was on the other side of the store. She had to walk through all the clothes brackets. When she finally got here she looked at Trunks and smiled.

she said shyly. He raised an eyebrow.

he said looking at me. I shrugged.

So, what are you doing here? I asked her, she smiled at me and took hold of my hand and dragged me to the other side of the store.

See? Look at that..isnt it cute? she asked, pointing at a white dress with very delicate designs on the stomach. The thin straps wouldn't be very noticeable. I ran a had down it, it was silky.

I said, nodding.

Thats what my mother likes I heard Trunks say from behind me. I turned around and smiled at him.

Then get it for her! I said, crossing my arms and tapping my foot on the ground.

Mackenzie? This dress is really expensive... Devon said quietly. I turned to look at her.

How much? I asked tentatively. She scratched her head.

Its uh....1,000 zeni she said, laughing a bit, I raised an eyebrow.

So...? He can pay for it..right? I asked turning to him. He looked a little surprised but nodded anyway. Devon's eyes widened.

You can? How much money do you have with you? she asked, narrowing an eye at him.

Um...I think I have 4,000 zeni He said, getting a thoughtful look. I saw a slight tugging on his jacket and I raised an eyebrow and tilted my head to the side. Then Trunks turned around really fast and grabbed Juno's arm. What are you doing? He growled.

he said, smiling a little, he was pulled off the ground and was hanging there by his arm, which Trunks had a hold of. Trunks narrowed his eyes at him.

I yelled sternly. What do you think you were doing?! I asked, putting my hands on my hips and glaring at him. Trunks glanced at me and set him down roughly.

He was trying to pick my pocket, thats what Trunks said angrily, crossing his arms, he glared at him.

Juno! I thought you said you weren't going to do that! Devon cried, stepping in front of him. You promised!

I know he said, looking at her. But when he said he had that much money..I couldn't help myself

Only you have control of your actions..so you cant say someone made you because it ain't gonna happen unless they brainwash you I said, I grabbed Trunks' arm and the dress and dragged him to the counter.

Do you want that packaged? asked the guy form behind the counter. I looked at Trunks, he nodded. The man wrapped it and rung it up. 1,000 zeni please Trunks handed him the money, took the package and we left.

Who was that? Trunks asked, staring at the sidewalk. I sighed.

That was Juno..he a guy from school who likes me..but I don't like him I sighed, annoyed. Guys are so stupid....

Do you want to go eat? He asked, pointing at a civil restaurant(you know, not the fancy ones). I looked at for a while then nodded. He smiled and we went in the restaurant. When we sat down a waiter gave us a menu, and some glasses of water. I've wanted to ask you a question

I asked, looking up from my menu.

I was wondering, where did you get that locket? he asked, pointing at the locket around my neck, I touched a finger to it and smiled.

It was a gift... I said, I almost gave it all away. Stupid baka onna! How stupid am I?Remember who this is, right?

 he asked, staring at the snake necklace, then back me.

Well...I'd rather not say I replied, blushing some. He smiled slightly.

Thats all right, I just wondered because my mother has a collection like that, and she sells them in yen, instead of zeni, and thats one of the more expensive ...also she said thats the one my father liked... he added, looking out the window and sighing. I smiled and patted his hand

It...it was from Vegeta I said, taking my hand back and staring a the table. Trunks head snapped up and he stared at me. Its now or never....

Vegeta? But..why would he give you that? I thought he didn't care about anything!' Trunks stated, staring at me for an answer. I sighed patiently.

I said, then slapped my self mentally, His mouth opened slightly, and made silent words until he found his voice.

H-how do you know my name?! I never told you it! He demanded, glaring at me.

Vegeta and I are....are..I cant say it! I said, hitting my head on the table. I could feel Trunks' eyes burning into my head.

You and my father are what?! Tell me! He demanded, pounding his hand on the table, attracting attention.

He..he's my mate.... I said, quietly. When nothing came, I looked up. Trunks' mouth was open almost to the table and his eyes were staring at me with all the hatred he had.

But-but what about my mother?! What about me? he asked, the last question quieter, than before as it all settled in.

You will never be born...and your mother is with Yamcha I explained. I'm sorry..but it wasn't my fault that I even came he-

Like hell it wasn't your fault! Trunks said, his head snapping up and he yelled at me, he abruptly stood up. Y-you ruined my whole life! and with that he stomped out of the place, I got up and walked out too. I walked most of the way home, never running into anyone.

I am such a baka! I scorned myself, kicking at the dirt beneath my feet. I feel like dirt...shitty dirt I said snarling. But wait...thats insulting the shitty dirt around here I mocked myself. I decided to take a de-tour and walked off into the brush, I came to a spot where you could see the sun set through the autumn trees, reflecting in the small lake, east of where I was. I watched it set and turned to go home. I I better not worry ChiChi, I guess I should go home I walked the rest of the way to my house walked in and sat down on the couch.

Hi honey, where's your friend? she asked, sitting down next to me.

I asked turning to look at her. She smiled.

Yes..that young man that was here she said, still smiling at me. I smiled at her.

I don't know... I replied, looking at the blank t.v screen.

Oh...well dinners going to be ready in a while she said and got up to go finish dinner. I walked up stairs and to try to go to sleep.

After dinner I changed into a nightgown because for some reason I felt warm. It was a light blue silky thing, that went down to my ankles, and it had small thin straps keeping it up. I guess you could say it played over my body. I sighed and sat on my bed and stared the same blank, white wall. I slipped under the covers and flicked off the lamp by my bed. I couldn't sleep. I stayed in bed for about two hours. Finally I got up and climbed out of my window and flew to the same spot I had been earlier. Now the stars shined down on the small body of water. The bronze colored leaves still fell. I sat down by and old ok tree.I tucked my legs up against my chest and wrapped my arms around them. Resting my head on my knees I stared at the lake, and I turned to look around and noticed a small cave. I had to squint to see it though. I got up and traveled to the cave and peered in. I smelt recently burnt cedar. I walked all the way in and the embers in the fire' were still going. So I re-lit it and sat down in the dirt once again. I pushed the dirt around me in circles.

What are you doing in here? I heard. I lifted my head up and peered into icy blue ones.


A/N, oops...heh..sorry? I didn't mean to! I mean I guess that doesn't really tell you anything I guess......well you can always tell me what you think by reviewing...I'll try to make the next chapter a non cliffhanger!
