Coming Home: Ch. 2

**************************************

~~~~~~~~~Recap~~~~~~~~

"Rini!" everyone turned to see Trunks looking for Rini.

"Right here dad!" Rini called out. Trunks looked towards Rini, not seeing the figure behind her. He ran up.

"There you are, I've been waiting for a while now! Why didn't you come to the…" he faded off as he noticed the figure behind his daughter.

"Serena…." He gasped.

"Hello Trunks…long time no see."

********************************************************

"Serena…is it really you?" Trunks asked quietly, not quite believing she was really here in front of him.

"Hai." And with that answer from Serena, Trunks promptly fainted. Serena, Rini and the others quickly gathered around him. Serena knelt down, and felt a pulse on his neck. She gaved a sigh of relief. This was certainly not how she expected him to react to her.

"Mommy….is daddy going to be ok?" Rini asked.

"Hai, he's just shocked." Serena replied, giving Rini a dazzling smile. This captured the attention of a certain Mr. Darien Shields. AN:…well…every story needs a villain right?

"Come on Rini, lets bring him to the car and bring him over my place." Serena said. Rini nodded. Surprising everyone watching, Serena lifted Trunks up with ease. Of course, they didn't know she was using magic to do this. As she headed towards her car AN: Trunks put his car back in its capsule before he left to look for Rini. Rini stopped her.

"Wait! Can Melissa come over too?" Rini pleaded, giving Serena a look Serena knew all too well. She herself, had used that look numerous times. Rini's eyes became twice its normal size, and unshed tears seemed to make the eyes glimmer. She pouted.

"Alright!" Serena agreed, then looked at Rini again. "And you forgot to let your bottom lip quiver Rini. And then you're suppose to make your eyes even bigger." Serena informed Rini, winking at her. Rini merely grinned, ran and dragged Melissa to the car with Serena following, smiling.

****************************

"Well…she seems to be gaining back the spark already!" Mina commented.

"Hai…but there is still predicaments…such as Trunks." Ami reminded.

"Hai.."

****************************

"Ugh…"Trunks shut his eyes at the bright light.

"So you're awake." His head shot towards the direction of the voice. He let at a gasp. It wasn't a dream…she was really here….she was real….and here!

"Serena…"

"Its been quite a while Trunks….now, you should lie down, you hit your head a bit hard." Serena said. As he opened his mouth to object, she cut him off.

"Uh uh Trunks, you're not going to get out of bed until I say you can! And don't be so stubborn! Rini is fine so you can't use her for an excuse. As a matter of fact, she's over with Melissa right now." Serena interrupted. He groaned. How could he face her after how he treated her before? She acted as if nothing was wrong…but he couldn't act! She was back, after two years. She must hate him now, no she was incapable of hating…keyword is was…is she still incapable of hating? He heard her sigh. 'Does she really hate me so? That the very thought of having to put up with me for a bit more upsets her so?' he thought. He let out another groan.

Meanwhile, Serena took his groan differently. 'Does he really hate me so much? Of course he does…you failed him as a wife remember?' she thought to herself. She sighed. How she missed the days before he ignored her.

****************************

"Wow Rini! Your mom's home is so nice!" Melissa gushed.

"I know!" Rini grinned. Both resumed watching television and talking in-between.

"Hm…I better go check on my dad." Rini got off the couch and headed upstairs, towards the room her father was in. When she got there, her father had gone to sleep. Her mother was stroking her father's cheek, tears running down her cheeks. Rini's presence was unknown to her mother.

"Even after I left, you wouldn't find the one most worthy of your love. Why love? I told you you could in the letter. I still love you…even after all the times you ignored me. You granted my wish love…and you took care and loved Rini. It was so nice to see her eyes light up when you first began to pay attention to her. My heart swelled with happiness, to see that light in her eyes and know that it was your doing. Her eyes still lights up when you take her out and spend time with her. She loves you so. I wonder though. Have you ever let her know, love? Did you ever tell her why I left? Oh, I miss you two so much these two years I've been gone. My heart ached everyday love, and I wished, I wished that things were different." Serena was saying sadly, brushing Trunks's hair out of his face. He had quite a nasty hit, and though usually cement wouldn't knock him unconscious, seeing her had shocked him.

Meanwhile, Rini was listening at the door. She was confused. What letter? Why had her mother left and why didn't her father let her know? Why would her mother wish things were different? She was about to announce her presence when her mother began again.

"I see you have not let Rini know her origin yet. You cannot hide it from her forever. She must learn and train. When the time comes, she will have to take my place. Love, why do you insist on hiding her from the truth? Why do you hide her from her people? Why do you hide her from her family? She deserves to know. Still, I will continue your wish that she lives a normal life. It is best I guess. I sense that she is awakening though love. You cannot hide her ancestry from her for much longer." Serena gaved Trunks a light kiss on the lips.

Now Rini was REALLY confused. Her origin? Her ancestry? Take her mother's place? What place? What truth? What people? Family? Her father had told her her grandparents were dead! And her mother would just change the subject! What was going on here? What did her mother mean her father couldn't hide her ancestry much longer? What did her mother mean she was awakening? Confused, Rini began to go down the hall. She then spun around and headed towards the room.

"I heard." Was all Rini had to say to her mother. Her mother gaved her a sad distant smile and merely said, "Ask your father."

As much as Rini pleaded and asked and begged and complained, her mother would not give in. Finally, fustrated, Rini left. She never noticed a crescent moon flaring to life on her forehead and let out a burst of energy that hit the wall. She never noticed as the wall absorbed the energy. She did, however, feel a slight heat on her forehead and feel slightly tired, as if she had lost some energy.

Had she turned around and stayed longer, she would have seen her mother smile. She would have seen as her mother turned to face the sleeping form of her father and say, "As I told you, she is awakening. Her powers that had lied dormant for years are surfacing…and there is nothing love, that you can do now to hide her from her destiny." And with that, Serena waved a hand over Trunks's face awakening him from his slumber.

"Sleep well?" She asked cheerfully. He looked at her strangly.

"What did I miss?"he asked, a bit fearful at what the answer might be. After all, the wall out in the hall WAS glimmering with energy.

"Oh nothing….just that Rini's dormant powers are awakening and the time is coming for her to train and so on." Serena cheerfully replied. Trunks eyes widened.

"WHAT?!??!?!?! When?!?! How?!?!?! Did you tell her?!?!" He inquired.

"Its true, just now, she was angry, and no, I felt it was best that you tell her. You are, after all, the one who wanted to hide her from her ancestry." Serena answered.

"This is not happening…" Trunks sighed. He looked up as he felt Serena's hand on his shoulder.

"Hey…cheer up…it's not the end of the world. And it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's already quite late as it is! She should have begun to hone her powers when they first appeared at age 2 than to have just leave them and let them become dormant! She IS going to take my place when the time comes." Serena said. He sighed.

"Hai…I guess that's true…demo…"

"But nothing! If you don't let her know, what do you think will happen when she turns 18 and receives her birthright during the transformation? And what do you think will happen when suddenly, suiters begin to appear for her at age 14 or 16. And these suiters aren't exactly normal by human standards neither!" Serena pointed out. Trunks sighed in defeat.

"Hai hai….I hate it when you're right" he grumbled. Serena offered him a smile that never quite reached her eyes.

"That's what I'm here for! Friends?" she stuck out her hand, as if to say forget about the past, start on the future.

"Friends.." he said, shaking her hand.

'Though I want more….' Both thought.

************************************

"So she left already?" Trunks asked Serena.

"For the millionth time, HAI!" Serena said, exasperated.

"Gomen nasai Serena, but she's only ten!" Trunks reasoned.

"Hai! And Capsule Corp. her HOME is only a block from here! She's capable of that! She knows the city like the palm of her hand." Serena argued.

"Alright…I'll go now." Trunks said reluntantly. Of course he knew Rini knew her way home…she had walked home before. But it was an excuse to stay with Serena longer…and he WAS worried of Rini a bit…but as Serena said, her powers were awakening now. And if she was even the tiniest bit scared, a blast would have been let off.

"Bai bai Trunks!"Serena waved. He waved back. Serena went to the next room with Melissa in it.

"Come on Melissa, I'll drive you home." And with that, the two left the house also.

***********************************

When Trunks got home, he noticed one thing. It was too silent.

"Rini?" he called out. Getting no answer, he searched for her ki. He found it in the building…in his bedroom? He went to his bedroom. As he turned on the light switch, he found her sitting on his bed. Numerous of his things were thrown around the room…as if she had been searching for something. However, the things he still had that had belonged to Serena had been neatly folded in a pile or neatly placed somewhere.

"Rini…what were you doing?" He asked and it was then that he noticed his daughter's angry tearfilled crimson eyes.

"WHAT'S THIS?!?!?!" She asked him, bringing forth a letter. Comprehensioned dawned to him as her found out what letter it was. He remembered when Rini told him she would have a hard time forgiving the reason her mother left…and the letter that clearly stated WHY Serena left. The letter…she had found the letter…the same letter he had read two years ago. The letter that Serena had written him….the night she had left.
