Give Me A Reason Why

Chapter 1-The Ultimate Question

He watched them playing from a distance. He watched them being happy, full of life and carefree. He and they; complete opposites. The simply question had been racing through his mind for some time now, in fact it had been ever since Cell was destroyed. He had no place, no home to return to. When he had done, he found it completely destroyed by the Androids and the last of his loved ones too had died. Taken over by rage and loss, he sought the ones who had destroyed his world and killed all three. Only then did he return to the only place where his world hadn't been destroyed; the past. Yet even here this was not truly 'His' world, this was 'Their' world. Now there was nothing left for him but the emptiness, the eternal feeling of forever being alone; the lone survivor of the apocalypse. Though his life was not in danger, he could feel death's ever darkening steps drawing closer to his soul, eating him from within. The sensation was unbearable to take. Spiralling downwards, always falling into the void of loneliness. His head pounded with pain and he held it tight, trying desperately to keep himself from exploding.

"Trunks?"

Yet again his name was being called. Why did these people insist on calling to him when he was alone? There was no purpose for him here, yet they were always there.

"Hey Trunks?"

Was it because they really cared? Or was it because they didn't want him to discover the real truth that there was no reason for his existence now?

"Hey Trunks!"

Mirai Trunks looked up and saw Goten and Trunks looking at him with concerned looks.

"Hey Mirai Trunks man, are you okay?" Trunks asked.

"Er what? Oh yeah, I'm fine." Mirai Trunks replied, taking his hands off his head.

"Are you sure?" Goten asked. "You looked like you were in a lot of pain just now."

"Yeah really, I'm fine." Mirai Trunks replied, standing up.

"Oh, well in that case do you wanna join us for lunch?" Trunks asked. "Mum just made us our favourite!"

"Thanks for the offer, but no. I have some things that I need to do." Mirai Trunks replied.

"Like what?" Goten asked with honest curiosity.

"Just some little things. Don't worry, it's nothing that bad although I could be gone for a while."

"Okay then. Come on Trunks, let's go!" Goten said, running towards the capsule corporation building.

Trunks turned to follow, but looked at Mirai Trunks once more. The older teen smiled, but it was a weak smile and Trunks knew it. Goten was very care free and pretty oblivious. However, Trunks was like his father and he was very weary. He wasn't easily fooled and he was suspicious of his future self.

"Are you sure your gonna be okay?" Trunks asked, trying desperately to find out what was going on.

"Yeah, really Trunks I'll be fine. Now go on and grab some food before dad and Goten eat it all." Mirai Trunks replied.

Trunks turned and walked into his house which at the moment was in chaos because Vegeta was chasing Goten around for taking most of the jam filled rolls. Trunks stood on the far side of the room and thought to himself.

"Hey Trunks."

Trunks looked up and saw a now teenage Gohan walking towards him.

"What's up?"

"Nothing much Gohan." Trunks replied. "Just thinking."

"Well then you must be doing a good dose of thinking from the looks of things." Gohan said, laughing slightly.

Gohan then stopped laughing and stared at Trunks and realised that there was more going on that was meeting the eye.

"Hey Trunks, what's wrong?"

"I'm worried. I'm worried about my future self." Trunks replied.

"About Mirai Trunks? Why?" Gohan asked.

"He's acting really weird." Trunks replied. "I know he usually keeps himself to himself, but a few minutes ago it got worse."

"How so?"

"Me and Goten were playing when mum called us for lunch. We turned to Mirai Trunks and he was holding his head and he looked like he was in pain. Goten had to really yell at him to wake him up and then he said he had to go somewhere to do some stuff. It could just be my imagination, but I think he's hiding something."

"Really? Well in that case I'd better go find him and find out what's really going on."

"Please let me come too Gohan." Trunks said. "I want to help."

"Okay then." Gohan replied as he and Trunks walked outside. "Let's go."

This is only part 1! What do you think is going on? Just reply and tell me what think and I'll do more asap! ^_^
