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...
