                                                                          Love is a Weakness! Isn't it?

                                                                        Chapter 9: What have I done?!

            Trunks turned on to his side. 'Dang it! I can't sleep! Oh well might as well go to the gym and pet some of this anger.'  Trunks threw the covers back and dressed in his spandex.

            Trunks reached the door of the gym and was about to open it when he felt someone else's Ki inside. Trunks slowly opened the door, and looked in. He almost fell backwards at the sight in front of him.

Serena was sitting in the middle of the room glowing silver and her hair was blowing loosely around her. The more he watched her the brighter the light got and lightning started to crackle around her. Trunks approached her quietly. He reached out to touch her shoulder, when lightning hit his hand causing him to yelp and pull his hand back.

He heard her sigh and the light, and lightning disappeared.

"What were you doing?" He asked her. She didn't look at him she just stood.

"I was meditating."

"How do you meditate? I've see people do it but I can't." She sighed.

            "You really want to know?" He nodded.

            "Alright. All you have to do is clear you mind of all thoughts, and not think anything. Some people meditate to rest or build their power. I do it when I'm pissed to relax. All I have to do is clear my mind form what's bugging me and I go from there."

            "Well, what's bugging you?" She whipped around and looked up into his eyes.

            "You." Was all she said before she walked to the g-room and shut the door. Trunks sighed as he heard the gravity turn on.

            "What did I do? I can't believe I said those things. If I wasn't so stupid I could have figured out that she was Serena! Damn it! I should have known when she asked me that question in the garden!" The moment replayed itself in his mind.

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

            "Trunks, what would you do if the person you cared for very much or possibly loved wasn't the person you thought they were?" Trunks laughed, and kissed her.

"Oh Rena. What do you mean by that?" She sighed.

"What if, lets use me as an example, I wasn't really the way you know me to be? Say that I was someone you knew just acting differently?" Trunks chuckled.

"Rena. I wouldn't love you any less. You're still the person I fell in love with and no one else. It's not like you're Serena just acting nicer! That would just be...well weird." Rena looked down at the ground.

"Well let's say that I was? Just acting the way I usually do, instead of being such a bitch?"

"Serena's not a bitch. She's just troubled. She was after all, taken from her group of friends and possibly family and forced to train me. I'd say if I'd never have meant you that I'd probably would have fell in love with her."

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

            It was true. He probably would have fell for Serena I she didn't play Rena. He walked to a punching bag and started to beat it. He let his anger out failing to notice himself turn SSJ. His anger continued to build causing his power to build. He couldn't stop.

            Trunks held his head. 'Too much power! Can't take it all!' Trunks let out a scream and fell to his knees. Just as he though he was going to pass out a hand rested on his shoulder. Trunks immediately relaxed and looked into the eyes of Serena before he passed out.

            When Trunks woke her noticed he was still in the gym. Only he was resting on some mats. He could hear the gravity room still. A hand flew to his head and he groaned.

            "Arg. My head." he sat up slowly and shook his head.

            "How did she do that? All she had to do was touch me and I was fine. Weird."  That's when he noticed that the only sound was the slight hum of the GR.

            "That's strange. I can't hear anything going on inside." Suddenly worried that something happened to Serena Trunks jumped up and ran to the GR. He flung the doors open cutting the power to the room. There in the middle of the room lying on the floor was Serena covered in sweat and fast asleep.

            "And I thought she pushed me hard." trunks walked over to her and lifted her up. He felt something fury wrap around his wrist.

            "Hmm. I wonder how I missed this." He felt Serena start to stir and he looked into the now open eyes of Serena. Her eyes winded and she jumped out of his arms. Well she would have if it weren't for Trunks holding her by the waist with her arms pinned to her side.

            "Let me go Trunks." She said coldly. Trunks shook his head.

            "No." She hissed as his grip tightened.

            "Fine. If you wont let me go I'll make you!"  Trunks chuckled, and let her go. She punched him in the stomach but he just caught her fist and kissed her knuckles.

            "Good. Now that we know you're stronger I can leave." She yanked her fist from his and ran out of the room. Trunks stood there shocked. 'She WANTS to leave?!' ~Wouldn't you if she told you everything you told her? I know I would. I don't blame her for wanting to leave. She gave you her love. She wanted to tell you but you had to go and say that it would be weird. Now that was stupid.~ 'Shut up! How was I supposed to know that Rena was Serena!' ~you're the one who said you'd love her no matter who she is. Face it buddy. You messed up BIG time. You lost the girl.~ 'Shut up and leave me the hell alone!!' ~fine I'll shut up, but I won't leave you alone.~ Trunks growled and walked out of the gym.

_____________________________~next morning~______________

            Trunks walked into the throne room to see Serena knelling in front of his parents.

            "Are you sure you want to leave Rena dear?" Bulma asked. He watched as Serena kept her head down and nodded.

            "Are you sure that my brat is stronger?" Vegeta asked not a harshly as he wished to. She nodded again.

            "Yes. I'd say he's the second strongest on Vegetasti. No one is able to pass my power. I have my other half to help with that."

            "What is your other half? I knew you were a half breed but I didn't know what you other side was." Bulma asked.

            "That is my secrete my lady. You will know soon enough." Bulma nodded. She sighed and turned to Vegeta and they started to talk.

            Trunks walked up to his throne and sat down never taking his eyes from the girl in front of them.

            "Alright dear. You may leave. But would you come visit often? I'd really love some girl company once and a while." Bulma said walking up to Serena and lifting her chin up. Serena nodded. Trunks could her his mother gasp but he didn't know why. He watched as they hugged, and his mother walked back. Serena stood and Trunks noticed how the sun glinted off of something on her cheek. At a closer look his could tell that it was a tear.

            Serena bowed and stood straight.

            "I will come a visit my lady." and with that she disappeared in a swirl of butterflies. The only thing left to show that she had been there was a lone tear staining the floor.

            Trunks mouth was open in horror. 'Oh no. What have I done?!' ~I told ya buddy. You lost her.~ Trunks didn't bother to argue. he knew that the little voice was right. He also knew that he needed to find Serena. And he needed to find her soon.
