Chapter 12

note- Hmm, I'm not too pleased with this chapter, but it's coming out anyway. It's short, I'm sorry, but it's Spring Break and my head is in the clouds. Usa realizes how her family must feel with her being gone and all... so read. Bah.

It all started out as a normal Saturday. That is until ChiChi brought the news that Trunks had ran away. Goten was amazed, he didn't take the news very lightly and ended up flying off, but ended up not getting very far. That is after Gohan had flown off after him and dragged him (literally) back home. Bulma was in hysterics not only because she hadn't seen her son in two days, but also because her husband didn't really seem to care. Can we really be surprised about that?

Usa sat in her room that day doing some serious thinking. Trunks disappearing really disturbed her. But what plagued her even more was the fact that she herself was just like Trunks. She was away from all her family and friends and they had no idea where she was. Sure, she had thought about it, she wasn't completely oblivious in knowing that her parents were probably going out of their minds trying to find her. But seeing Bulma so upset over the loss of Trunks really hit home for her. She realized that her mother must be going through the same thing. Except her mother had been going through the agony for three months now.

She looked around at the room she was in, it was furnished with a lamp now and ChiChi had bought her pink sheets and a comforter, there was a stuffed rabbit she had received from Gohan laying on the bed and the closet was full of clothes Bulma had dropped off for her. It was as if it was her own room. As if she was part of the family. She walked over to the closet and moved all of the clothes to the side until she found her gown. She pulled it out and sat down on her bed. The white silk flowed easily over her fingers and she traced the pearl beads that lined it. Tears formed in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks and she clung to the material of the dress.

Gohan decided he would lighten the mood of Goten by taking him to get ice cream, but it hadn't turned out exactly how he had hoped it would and instead he had gotten an earful....

"You fucking bastard! I'm not a little kid anymore! Get the fuck out of my room! I don't want any damn ice cream!"

"But.. but..."

"I said get the hell out!" and with that Goten slammed the door of his room and the only thing you could hear was the blaring of Metallica. Gohan turned around to see the face of a highly amused little rabbit.

"Nice." was the only statement she had to offer and she chuckled.

"You're no help." Gohan said coldly, giving Usa an icy glare.

"And you're an ass!" Usa returned the glare and slammed her door closing him and his smart-ass out.

"Come on Usa-chan, I didn't mean to..." she heard him trail off and heard him mutter something about PMSing. She threw open the door and her eyes blazed like the pits of hell.

"Did you say PMSing?! Because I AM NOT PMSing! Why do men always make PMSing an excuse?!" Usa screeched and pointed at Gohan, "You, me, fight, outside, no holding back, NOW." Gohan immediately trotted himself outside with Usa on his heels. If she wanted a fight, she was going to get one.
