Chapter 4
No Cost Too Great
" Trunks....Trunks....wake up...."
Trunks awoke to see Kitana's face staring into his. He blinked and his eyes widened as he yelled loudly and sat up so sudden his head hit the back of his bed. He rubbed his swollen head and winced at her.
" Can I ask why you woke me up? "
" Where were you yesterday? "
He looked at her with a slight frown. Why would she concern herself with something she didn't need to know? He blinked and shook his head.
" None of your-"
"..business. I know. But I was you know...worried. I thought you were kidnapped or something. I was just worried. I just wanted to know where you were. "
" I was just out. Catching some fresh air that's all. No big deal. "
He smiled as the open windows blew a breeze through her long, brown and blue locks. She smiled back and bounced on the edge of his bed. He looked at her startled and shook his head.
" Hey guess what? I'm going out to look for survivers. Wanna come? "
" I guess. Nothing else to do right? Count me in. "
" Good. It would be lonely all by myself. I appreciate your company. Be ready in an hour. Breakfast is on the table. "
" Ok Thanks. "
Kitana jumped up and she walked out of the room. Trunks got out quickly and put on his usually attire, gray slacks, black wife beater, and a cut-off jean jacket with Capsule Corp. logo. His cheerful mood faded as he walked into the kitchen to see burnt everything on the table for breakfast. Burnt waffles, burnt toast, burnt eggs, you name it.
" Eh...mother..."
" Yes Trunks? Sit down and enjoy food. "
" Tch...fine..."
Trunks sat down with a frown as he looked at his food. Suddenly the phone rang and Bulma ran to it. Kitana stepped into the kitchen wearing cargo shorts and a blue tank-top. She sat down at the table and pushed her brown locks out of her face. She looked at the food on her plate and her smile faded quickly.
" Only the best for us.." Trunks whispered to her.
" Of course. Why don't I whip us up something..."
She lifted from her seat and took over the kitchen by storm. Eggs piled on plates, several pieces of toast on another, and waffles and pancakes on another staked high. She sat them down on the kitchen table and quickly disposed of the burnt food. She chuckled as Trunks's eyes sparkled with hunger as he looked at the food.
" Dig in."
" Gladly. "
He dove into the food quicker then you can say Shiva three times fast. Food decreased as she and he ate to delight. Trunks was amazed that she could devour as much food as he could. They were content and then were only eating small portions now. Bulma skidded in and looked at the table. She opened her mouth to say something and then shut it.
" I didn't know you liked my cooking so much Trunks. And my food didn't look that good...oh well. No bicker. Well on the phone was a city about 15 miles from here. There's a couple of survivors, and they tried to call anyone, and reached us. Why don't you two go check it out. If anyone's in critical condition, bring them here. K son? "
" Got you mom. We're fine here. "
He nodded at Kitana and they lifted from their seats and sprang out the door. Trunks jumped into the air, and bursted off. Kitana stayed on the ground. As soon as Trunks figured out that Kitana wasn't following. He sped back and landed on the ground.
" I'm sorry I forgot you couldn't fly. Want me to carry you? "
Kitana layed a finger to her chin. Let's see...she thought. Should I let him carry me or fly by myself? I'll let him carry me. Hee hee. She looked at him deeply.
" Could you carry me..? ''
He blushed bright scarlet. He blinked and looked at her.
" Yea..I can. Just.." He suddenly was very interested with his feet.
" Just...?"
"...Hop into my arms."
Ooh I like the sound of that...she thought. She walked over to him. He was blushing crazy. She stood in front of him. He placed his arms under her thighs and back. He lifted into the air and was surprised that she didn't squirm.
He sped up into the direction of the city. Kitana crossed her arms and looked up into the sky. It had very few clouds in it. Although, Kitana could detect some rain on the way. A big storm at that. She shook her head and Trunks looked at her.
" What's that matter? "
" Oh nothing. I just thought it was going to rain. "
Trunks looked into the sky and looked comfused. The sky looked sunny to him. How could she think it would rain? He thought to himself.
