Part 2
Yaten and Taiki supported Seiya's weight as they slowly made their way through
the abandoned streets. So much had happened in such a short time, the arrival
of the Starlights, which were later discovered to be the Three Lights, and then
Galaxia attacked and killed her Senshi,
stealing their star seeds in the process. So many bad memories plagued Usagi's
mind as they headed for safety. Most of the people had left Tokyo and now the city was completely empty, the streets
abandoned, the stores locked up tightly.
"How much further Usagi?" Yaten asked as she shifted her position so
Seiya's arm was around her waist.
"Just a few more blocks." she said as she led the stranger as well as
the three Senshi. She looked over her
shoulder to find his eyes trained on her. She felt herself blush slightly and
saw his gaze shift away, pink lightly filling his cheeks. He turned his eyes to
the ground and followed the blond girl. She couldn't help but notice the way he
was dressed, wearing a black tank top and baggy pants. He wore a jacket with a
strange logo on it that looked like two C's. She couldn't help but notice how
his muscles bulged from his chest, being covered by the skin-tight tank top.
His lavender hair fell into his eyes but he made no move to push it back. His blue
eyes were filled with something... it looked like loneliness... it looked like
he had been left alone and closed himself off from the rest of the world,
created his own world that he could recede into if he ever felt scared.
"Where are we going anyway?" Trunks asked a moment later, not turning
his gaze to Usagi. His voice was soft and there was a gruffness to it... like
he was trying to hide a gentle inner-self by acting cold and distant.
"Don't worry, we're almost there," Usagi said reassuringly, smiling
weakly at the stranger, "Are you from the city?" Usagi asked
casually.
"Iie..." he said, but
didn't elaborate on it.
"Where are you from then? Sailor Galaxia seemed to know you." Usagi
said as they continued to walk, quickening her pace when a cold chill ran down
her spine.
"It's not important..." Trunks said simply, brushing a strand of
lavender hair from his eyes, "and she seemed to only know me by
reputation." he added.
"We're here." Usagi said as they walked up the steps of a temple.
Usagi pushed the door open and noticed that it was empty. Her eyes were rimmed
with tears and her eyes clouded over. She could hear voices in her head.
"You're late again odango atama!"
A raven-haired girl scolded, standing with her hands on her hips.
"Don't call me that!" Usagi shouted, her eyes narrowing on the
priestess, "It's not MY fault the teacher didn't accept me work..." she
pouted. She had another detention that particular day and it had made her late
to her meeting.
"You turned in an English paper during math..." Makoto said, a
sweatdrop appearing on her forehead.
"It's not fair... you're always so mean to me!" Usagi cried, breaking
into full-blown wails.
"Usagi?" A voice questioned as the memories began to fade.
"Huh? Gomen, what did you say
Yaten?" she asked, her cloudy eyes slowly clearing.
"I said Seiya is sleeping now, he's going to be all right." Yaten
repeated, turning away from the girl, de-transforming as she did so. Trunks's
eyes widened in shock as the leather-clad woman that had once stood before him
was now a well-dressed young man.
"N... nani?" he asked, his
eyes bulging. He heard a silvery giggle to his left and turned to see the
golden blond tresses that framed the petite, pale face of a certain princess.
"Gomen, I guess you SHOULD be surprised ne?" Usagi
asked, giggling again to herself. "I was at first, demo, that's just the way it is. It's their disguise, just like I
have mine... and I assume you have yours?" she asked, remembering the boy
with golden blond that had stood before her fifteen minutes before. His eyes
went to the ground and his cheeks took on a faint pink color.
"Yeah... I guess so..." he said quietly. Usagi frowned and took his
hand, leading him into the temple.
"This will be your room if you'd like." Usagi said as she pushed open
the door to the room that had once belonged to Yuuichirou. Trunks nodded his
head and sat down on the bed, looking out the window at the deserted city.
Usagi turned and left, gently closing the door behind her. Trunks reached for
his sword, laying it across his lap. He stared at his reflection in the shiny
blade for a moment before letting his mind wander. Where exactly was he
anyway... no where... when... What year was it? A soft sigh escaped him as he
tried to figure a few things out... he was in the past demo, how far? He sat there for about fifteen minutes,
contemplating on what he should do. Should he tell Usagi where he was from?
Could he trust her? His thoughts swirled around him, suffocating him of the
precious oxygen he needed for his survival. He was lost in a swirling vortex of
doubt, anger, and confusion.
He felt someone shaking him lightly, trying to awaken him. He hadn't even known
that he had fallen asleep.
"Gomen to wake you up
Trunks-san... I was just wondering if you were hungry." Usagi said, seeing
the signs of sleep still on his face. His eyes were drooping and his breathing
was deep. She saw him rub his eyes and look up at her, looking completely
normal.
"A little, I guess," Trunks said, smiling slightly, which looked almost
like a smirk.
"Fighting kinda takes a lot out of you." he heard Usagi giggle and
stood up.
"This way!" she said, running from the room. She ran down the
hallways, unaware of Trunks floating right by her side. "No fair! You can
fly!" she protested, a fake pout on her lips as she stopped running.
****
Taiki and Yaten sat across the table from Trunks and Usagi, watching in shock
as Trunks rivaled Usagi in speed.
"How can they possibly eat that much?" Yaten asked, a sweatdrop
appearing on his forehead. Taiki shook his head, a sweatdrop on his forehead as
well. Usagi reached across the table, filling her plate up for the fifth time.
'I guess I don't have to worry
about embarrassing myself when I eat around Usagi.' Trunks thought to himself
as he continued to eat. The trait of the Saiyajin... the one thing that could
never be filled... the thirst that could never be quenched... the Saiyajin
appetite...
Usagi finished her plate full of food and sat back in her seat, patting her
stomach.
"Well, at least I didn't cook it..." she said, blushing slightly.
Trunks didn't really pay attention; he had finished a minute before Usagi and
sat there with his arms crossed over his chest, observing the other three
people in the room.
"Hai, we all know what a good
cook Usagi is..." Yaten said dryly, smirking slightly.
"Hey! Be nice!" Usagi said, pouting slightly. She crossed her arms
over her chest and looked pitifully up at Trunks for help only to see a small
smirk on his face. This made her pout deepen and soon high-pitched wails could
be heard throughout the temple. Trunks fell to the floor, covering his
sensitive ears.
"Stop!" he cried, as pain throbbed in his head. Being a Saiyajin, his
hearing was about ten times as good as a human even though he was only half
Saiyajin. He cringed at the sound of the wail coming from the young girl. How
can she POSSIBLY be able to do that?!?
****
"Seiya..." Usagi's soft voice said as she sat beside his bed.
"Wake up Seiya..." she said again, reaching her hand down to touch
his cheek."Please Seiya..." The tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned
over his pale body. A tear slowly slid down her cheek and fell from her chin,
landing on the white sheets that covered Seiya. She closed her eyes and let
more of the moisture flow, staining her cheeks. She felt a hand reach up and
touch her face and looked down to see Seiya with his hand on her cheek, a
tender look in his eyes.
"Don't cry princess..." he said softly."I'll be all right, I'm just a
little tired..." his eyes slowly closed and his arm went limp. Usagi felt
the tears that were continually flowing down her cheeks but she made no move to
wipe them away. She sat above his bed, cradling his arm against her body.

Trunks was walking back toward the room he was staying in when he heard a soft
noise from a partially opened door. He peeked his head inside and saw an angel
weeping, her soft sobs raking at his heart in ways that he couldn't describe.
She reminded him of himself at one point... before he began to hide within
himself. She was a lost child, having lost all that she held dear... he could
relate with her... the only one that was left for him was his okaasan demo... she wasn't going to be
around forever...
He silently slipped into the room, seeing that she had somehow fallen asleep
and was lying stretched out across the man with black hair that lay on the bed.
He gently picked her up, having one hand under her knees and the other
supporting her back and neck. He made his way toward a room that he had seen
her enter a few hours before and lay her on the soft bed. He pulled the
blankets back and removed her shoes, gently covering her with the blankets. She
was too innocent to have lost so much... too pure to know the evils of the
world... he would protect her and prevent her from being cut off from her
emotions... he had become his father after all...
****
Usagi felt a familiar presence behind her and turned to see a figure shrouded
in mist.
"Okaasan..." Usagi
whispered, feeling the familiar weight of her royal gown.
"Bunny," The former Queen said, smiling at her daughter, "It has
been a while ne?"
"Hai, it has been a while,"
Usagi said, feeling the tears threatening to spill over. "Demo... why have you come to me okaasan?" she asked, knowing that
things were getting worse as she slept.
"I have come to tell you of the young man that has recently entered your
life." Queen Serenity said, turning serious.
"Hai, who is he okaasan?" Usagi asked, knowing that
there was a lot that he hadn't told her.
"He's the last survivor of his race called the Saiyajin. His race was more
powerful than the Lunarians during their peek." Queen Serenity said
calmly.
"Stronger than you?" Usagi asked, feeling shock run slowly through
her veins.
"Hai, they were even stronger
than myself... you must trust him, he will protect you, I promise." Queen
Serenity said smiling at her daughter.
"Demo, I don't understand okaasan..." Usagi started, a
thoughtful expression creasing her brow, "If his race is gone, how can he
still be alive?" Queen Serenity smiled slightly, hugging her daughter
before taking a step backward.
"That's easy... he's from the future..." Queen Serenity said as the
mist swallowed up her body.
"Okaasan! Come back! I have so
much I need to talk to you about!" Usagi cried, running into the mist. She
knew, however, that there was nothing she could do. Queen Serenity was already
gone, back to her place in the sky where she watched over her daughter. Usagi
knew that her friends were up there at her mother's side and she felt the tears
begin to well up as she realized that they were really gone...
Usagi awoke, moisture soaking her cheeks to feel a presence in the room. She
turned her head to the left and saw a figure sitting in an armchair, his head
leaned back and his eyes closed. She wiped her tears from her eyes and stood
up, slowly walking toward Trunks's sleeping form. She noticed the lavender hair
that fell in his eyes and felt that urge to brush it aside again. She gently
brushed his hair aside and was startled when she felt
something clamp around her wrist and spin her around. She could feel something
cold and metal being pressed against the soft flesh of her neck and fought the
urge to cry out in pain as it bit into her skin.
"Trunks?" she questioned, feeling slightly afraid. She felt his
muscles relax as he pulled his sword away, sheathing it quickly.
"Gomen Usagi..." he said,
taking a seat in the armchair once again.
"It's all right; I didn't mean to surprise you..." Usagi said,
blushing brightly. He didn't say anything, just crossed his arms over his chest
and looked at her. She felt her cheeks growing warm once again, knowing that
she was slowly turning the color of a ripe tomato. She tore her eyes away from
his, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. There was something heading toward the
temple... something powerful. Trunks must have felt it too because he jumped up
and jumped in front of Usagi, protecting her.
"I've come for your star-seed..." A voice whispered close to Usagi's
ear. She turned around sharply and stared at the golden senshi. "Do not resist me..." her voice continued....
"Trunks..." Usagi whispered, turning her attention back to the
lavender-haired boy. His eyes were distant and empty. "What's wrong
Trunks?" she asked, her mouth opening as he reached his hands out for her.
"Trunks iie!!" Usagi
shrieked...
