Evil Comes Once Again By: Amber(yea, my name) REWRITE

********** Chapter Two **********

"Where in the world did you come up with that topic? Why are you bringing this up now, especially to me when there are other people that would want to talk about this?" asked Trunks while his mind began to spin trying to get the answers out.

Her eyes looked down at the ground while the words seemed to come to her lips.

"You'd understand more then the rest. Goten, he has his own little world he likes to stay in along with ignore all forms of conversations I make. Dad, well you know what he's like. Tein and Cousu, they just train and watch porn with Roshi. Yamcha, he likes training and Roshi's mags. Krillian, just like Goten and in his own little world. Gohan, he has things to do, places to go, people to meet, books to read. And Vegeta, well, lets not go there."

Silence seemed to swirl around them while Trunks though deeply on the subject.

"I've never thought about it really. Being normal would mean giving up everything that I have now and probably not ever getting to know anyone else I do now. I wouldn't be faced with thinking topics from you, have a chance to train, I never would have knew my father, I wouldn't be a prince of a nonexsistent planet, and I'd be completely clueless about what's going on with the urge to go help even though there would be nothing a normal human could do."

"Yeah..."

**************************************************************************** ****** 3 of the worst yet most wonderful years of a girls life spent searching for a stupid person to save the world **************************************************************************** ******

Goten sprawled the shades open only for Makoto to pull the blankets over her head and quickly scruntch into a ball. He just chuckled knowing that something was going on but didn't want to say anything. Trunks had a just got off his job while Makoto on the other hand fallen asleep right after getting home from college. She had went to a party with Goten with the excuse she watned to continue searching for the girl and that she could be anywhere, even at a college party.

She woke-up cranky since she drinked a lot while Goten was on the other side of the room. All day her tormented her as revenge for underage drinking but never told ChiChi. Quickly he ripped the covers off to see her block the sunlight. Makoto didn't even get undress from her school uniform but jsut crawled in bed, shoes and all.

"Lover boy's here."

She just rolled off and mumbled something like "ok" or "sure whatever". He left and joined Trunks in the living on the couch awaiting for her to exit her room. Silence was between them which was odd since they always found something to talk about but Goten guessed it was that time when silence was needed before they bore each other. Makoto walked out with a yawn in some quickly pulled on jeans, flip flops, and one of her green t- shirts representing one her bands.

"Have fun you two," grinned Goten as he saw them to the door.

Makoto rolled her eyes and followed Trunks to the car. Goten grinned as the left but yet wondered why Trunks was in a sour mood with his gestures...Makoto just let the wind blow through her hair and put her sun glasses since she felt a headache coming on. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw his incomplete business suite of just an untucked blue shirt and tank pants.

"Bad day?" Trunks didn't answer. Her hand touched his arm, getting his attention while his hand covered hers. "Bad day at the office?"

"It's nothing."

"Liar."

He went silence again and Makoto noticed they were driving toward nature instead of the city where no one could bother them. Perhaps it was to vent some type of anger but she knew she would find out later. Trunks parked the car and got out only for Makoto to follow him with a sigh of frustration yet concern. She watched him go over a hill where he stopped at the embankment and sat on a rock. Makoto wrapped her arms around him from behind halfly to keep her standing.

"College?"

"Boring. Office?"

"Fired."

"Fired?!"

Quickly Makoto jumped around and sat before him while her arms brought him forward into a hug. She wrapped her arms around his neck while her fingers went through his hair. Being this close to him brought a large smile. Before she drempt of something like this happening but for it to become real just changed everything. Over the three years, they had got to know each other a lot with pillow talk, just plain having fun, staying up late watching movies, and just plainly talking while walking down the main street and moving into small shops.

"Don't worry. I'll find another job. They just wanted someone without a degree so they didn't have to pay as much. Tomorrow I'm going job hunting. Lets just hope I'm sucessful."

"Bulma will always have a job for you in the family corporation. Plus, you already know everything about it and will be running it some day. Why not see how things run and try to make improvements on products and marketing ads?"

"Yea, I might."

Trunks laid on his back while Makoto rested on her hands, closing her eyes and trying to sleep leaning up. Trunks looked at her figure, seeing how peaceful she was around him Should I tell her, thought Trunks and sat- up. His hand moved the hair away from her face where his hand managed to rest only to see her eyes slowly peer up. He flet like she could tell what was going to happen by her hand running through his hair.

"I love you."

A smile moved over her lips while his forehead touched hers gently. She ran her fingers along the back of his neck recieving a smile back.

"I love you more."

Trunks breathed out a laugh only for her giggled while his lips met hers. She silenced herself and let herself be taken over knowing this wasn't a dream. It was something she wanted for a long time. To feel him hold her, protect her, be there for her, and most of all be hers, only hers. The sound of a whistle made her eyes suddenly pop open but Trunks seemed to grip her more. Finally he slowly moved away and turned to the intruder.

"You're lucky you're my best friend and I know that you won't hurt her or else I would have kicked your ass. Make-out later and follow me to the buffet. Dad rented the place out to have a little party before dinner since he was hungry and the rest of the guys agreed," said Goten. Trunks nodded.

"Right. Let me change into something different. I have a pair of clothes in my trunk."

Goten watched him move off the rock and disappear over the hill. He quickly appeared next to Makoto and patted her head.

"I know that look. Love. Ah, I remember that time I was like that too but then I found out she was a woman. Worst thing ever. I'm never trusting Gohan to hook me up. He was getting me back for changing his shampoo to hot pink hair dye. Good times. If anything bad happens, I want to know. Please Mako, I don't want to see my baby sister get hurt even by a friend."

"I understand. You're doing what every brother would do, protect the weak and youngest. Come on and lets gets there before everyone gets mad at us being late."

Goten nodded and followed her up the hill...

*Food Joint

"What took you so long? I'm starving! We were going to eat without you," joked Goku while carrying plates over to his own personal table and sitting down. Vegeta just growled.

"Shut-up and eat Kakorrate!"

Goku of course started digging it without another word with Vegeta and Gohan following. Trunks seated Makoto and proceeded to get their food. Her eyes narrowed for a moment as she turned to see Minako standing next to her.

*You're the only one that can see me Makoto. But, I'm sorry that I must bring bad news once again. I'd rather you know about it now then when the battle comes or else you might think it's too late.* Makoto continued to look forward and smiled at Goten while he sat across from her with Yamcha joining. *They're all going to die. After that, she will come out. Your search has been in vein and I'm sorry that I didn't know this sooner or else I would have told you to stop looking.*

"You're lying!" Trunks looked down at her with his hand still holding their plates. Confusion crossed for a moment while he scruntched his eyes. She ran her fingers through her hair and motioned for him to sit down. "Sorry, I was thinking aloud."

*I'm sorry Mako but there is nothing that I can do. Just go on living life as best as you can until things happen. I must leave you now. Take the best of care.*

Minako disappeared after touching her shoulder gently. Makoto stayed silent for the rest of the night while her hand made sure to stay touching Trunks until he left to get more food.

*Later that night

Things seemed to down slope from there while she watch Trunks training thinking that this would be the last time she would spend with him unless she plead hard enough for him to be brought back to life. But if it failed, she would have to wait an year while he trained with one of the Kais. He seemed to stop looking at her anymore knowing that she wouldn't leave but she didn't want to look anymore but get away from the thought of death coming for him. It hurt too much. Makoto moved to her feet and left the room. She found herself in the forest looking at herself in a pond crying...

Trunks felt the hairs on his neck move straight up and looked at the screen to see her gone. Quickly he disappeared and looked around the house calling her name thinking she might have went to the bathroom for a moment but she was no where.

//Mako, where are you?//

Silence greeted him while he walked around the entire premises until he saw the forest and headed toward it.

//I need to be alone for a while.//

Her voice sounded like she had been crying which made worry quickly wash over him. Before he knew it, he was walking through the forest trying to find her.

//I don't want anything to happen Makoto so please get home, now.//

She nodded to herself and started walking toward Capsule Corps. without another thought. Still she couldn't believe that she would have to watch them die without being able to do anything just because they wouldn't show until everyone was gone. Anger started to rise only to be quickly changed into sadness when she saw Trunks standing at the edge of the forest. He walked up to her and gently touched her face but the tears fell. His arms wrapped around her gently.

"What happened Makoto? I know something is wrong and you're hiding it from me."

She held onto him tighter not wanting to let go. The feeling of safety moved around her body as she took in his muscular smell that never seemed to leave. It blended in with his colonge giving him that right touch no one could match.

"Minako appeared at dinner. None of you are going to walk away alive," she whispered.

Trunks gently rubbed her back while he appeared below the staircase and started to climb.

"I will always come back no matter what happens, like the rest of the fighters."

Her fingers gribbed his shirt tighter while her face move close again his adams apple, feeling it move up and down while he hummed softly.

"I know but I don't want to see you die, I don't want to witness you slaughted just so we can see who the girl is. It's not worth it! I'd rather die then watch everyone I love die without me being able to stop it or save any of you!"

Trunks beckoned her face to look at him where he wiped the tears away with a small smile while his large hand cupped her cheek.

"That's why you're not going."

A smirk moved over her lips.

"We'll see, won't we?"

"Who's going to let you?"

"Ymay ruetay elfsay isay."

He looked at her confused at the strange voice that seemed to take over her. The light came back to her eyes while her nose pressed against his.

"What did you say?" he asked.

"Aren't you going to answer me?" she asked with a sparkle to her smile.

"Answer what?"

"You weren't listening," she pouted only for Trunks to quickly counteract it.

"I was concentration on how beautiful you were that I didn't listen to your beautiful voice."

Makoto giggled while she kissed him quickly on the lips.

"Flattery get you everywhere."

AN: Right now I'm buzzing off a four pack of wine coolers and I feel like I'm going to pass out. This chapter sucked ass after reading it and now I think it's doing a bit better. Probably. Man, I need to go to bed. So later everyone. Choa.
