Chapter 7

Promised Love

Part 1

Trunks was running around the Capsule Corp. He was already 5 years old. 5 years has past, but his father never came back.
"Kaachan, what does touchan look like?" he asked.
"Well... here." She got a picture of him out of her pocket. "Tsugoi!!!!! He looks like me!" he said. (a.n.: Trunks is still a kid. He's not good in speaking some words.)
"Of course! But I don't know where your dad is." "Where could he be?"
"Shiru dame desu." "I want to chee my daddy!!!"
"I want to too. Hey it's getting late. You should be off to bed now." "Wakata! Oyachumi Nachai!" he ran off.
"Vegita-chan... you promised you'd come back. Doko ni?" she looked out her window. After a few minutes, she left and went to Trunks and Jim's room. She
opened the door and saw Trunks fast asleep. Jim was still studying. She went over to him and kissed his forehead. "Oyasumi." She left and went to her room.
Bulma changed to her pj's. She went to her balcony. Remembering 6 years ago what had happened there in that same balcony she was leaning on, she fell on
her knees. "Doko ni Vegita-chan??!!!!!!!!!!" she shouted.

Meanwhile... in the middle of nowhere...
"Tousan, we should better go home." Mirai Trunks suggested. "Not until we finish our training."
"But what about kaachan?"
"She can wait can she?!"
"Don't you think that we were gone long enough?" he asked.
"..." "I thought so. Kaachan's probably worried! Ikimashou!" he flew off ahead.
"Bulma-chan..." he shook his head and left. He caught up to Trunks. "Where the hell are you going?!"
"Capsule Corp!" he went faster. "Kuso! When will you ever learn?!" a few minutes later, they arrived in Capsule Corp. A lot of memories went in to Vegita's mind.
From the first kiss, first embrace, first anniversary... "It's been a long time."
"Hai. Let's go in." "Matte! We can't go in there easily! There's a security system in there!"
"Then how can we go in?" "I know! Follow me!" he levitated up and flew to Bulma's room. Trunks followed. When they reached their destination, they were
shocked to see Bulma in the balcony sleeping. "Foolish woman. Of all the places, why the heck would she sleep here?" He landed next to her and picked her
up. She placed her in the bed. She suddenly woke up. "AAAHHH!!!! Burglars!!" she shouted. It was dark and blurry for her to see who they are. "Burglars? You
kidding?" she recognized that voice. "Tousan... you startled her." She recognized that voice too.
"Vegita-chan? Trun?" "Finally you figured. Ogenki desu ka, Bulma-chan?" He walked closer. Her eyes were filled with tears.
"VEGITA-CHAN!!!!!" she crawled out of her bed and went to him. She hugged him tight. "I thought that you would never come back."
"Of course I would. I can never leave you." "Hey don't forget me!"
"Trunks-kun! You're safe!" She also went to him and hugged him. "Did you take care of your dad?"
"Hai!" "Yeah right!" Vegita chuckled.
"Trunks-kun you can go to Chibi-Trunks if you like!" "Arigatou."
"He's sleeping in Jim's room." "Great! I'll go there already." He left the room.
"Vegita-chan..." "I promised, didn't I?" "What promise?"
"That I won't leave you. We'll be together forever Bulma-chan..."

In the corridor...
Trunks knocked at Jim's room. "Dare ne?" someone asked.
"Mirai-Trunks!" he heard the guy run fast to the door. They guy opened the door. "Trunks-oneechan!"
"Hey Jim! How you've grown!" "Come in!" he did as he was told.
"Cool room!" "Thanks. Trunks and I decorated this room."
"Which reminds me," he put his hands inside his pocket, "Where's Trunks?" "Over there." He pointed.
"Arigatou." He walked towards Trunks' bed. He sat on the edge of the bed. "How old is he?"
"5." "Oh." He shook Trunks. He woke up.
"Hmmmmm..." his eyes were half open. "Dare ne Jim-oneechan?"
"He's your future self." "Wakata... NANDA??!!" he sat down.
"Konban wa Trunks." Mirai-Trunks said. "K-K-konban wa..." he got scared.
"Hahaha... don't worry Trunks. He won't bite." Jim and Trunks chuckled. "Wa-wakata. Gomen nachai." He bowed his head.
"That's quite alright. Oh and which reminds me, I've got a surprise for you... no actually... 2 surprises." Mirai Trunks said.
"Nanda kore wa?" Chibi Trunks asked. "If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore. The surprise will come any minute..."
"Kaachan chaid that you fought Cell." "We did. Do you want to hear the story?"
"Hai!!!!!!!!!!" Chibi Trunks replied. "Well, do you like to hear the story too Jim?"
"Sure! I'd love to hear stories of your adventure!" "Great! You know, it was hard to beat Cell. I tried one time, because tousan was badly hurt by him."
"Honto? Do you think that I can beat him?" C. Trunks asked. "Haha... well depends. If you are willing to train hard then you can probably defeat a foe 2 times
stronger than him." "Chugoi!!!!!!" C. Trunks laughed.
"So what happened was..."

In Vegita and Bulma' room...
"Vegita-chan, why did you come back just now?" she asked. "Well... let's just say that I trained your brat from the future."
"I see then. Did you think about me?" she asked, shyly this time."...Hai." his face was bright red.
"And by the way... Trunks will celebrate his 6th birthday this coming weekend." "Well, what do you suppose that I'd do?"
"I don't know, how about buying him a gift in... THE MALL?" she teased. "The mall? That's a forbidden territory to me Bulma-chan." He managed to give out a
grin. "Come on. It's just for one day."
"Oh alright. Why do you always win in our arguments?" he said sarcastically. "Funny Vegita-chan. Oh and do you want to see Trunks now?"
"Whatever." "Come!" she dragged him out of the bedroom. He, on the other hand, didn't resist one bit. He wanted to know if his son was strong. Bulma knocked
at the door. "Jim-kun! Trunks-kun!!"
"Coming!" she heard someone running from inside. Jim opened the door. "Konban wa. Hey... that's..."
"What's up Jim?" Vegita asked. "ONEECHAN!!!" he hugged him tight. (a.n.: remember... brotherly love?)
"Great to see you again." "You too."
"You've grown tall Jim." "Yeah. I'm studying martial arts now!"
"Honto? Who's training you?" "Well, Trunks-kun and I are trained by Gohan-kun."
"That's nice. But it's probably better if you train with me." "So desu kedo."
"Doko ni Trunks?" "Hora."
"Doko?" "HORA!!" he didn't notice that Mirai Trunks was playing with him. Bulma pointed to where he is. Mirai Trunks saw him and guided Chibi Trunks. C. Trunks
was stunned. His eyes were watery, and mucus from his nose started to drop.
"Touchan... TOUCHAN!!!"
