Dimension Cross

The Sickness Caught On

Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or Sailor Moon, but I wish I did!

Author's Note: I'm sorry it took so long!!! The reason is because SanShinigami has been bothering me so much! Oh and I will probably be ending this story in the next chapter.

"Aw looks like little Trunks has a cold," Rini said.

Trunks sneezed again. "Be quiet. It's your fault that I'm sick."

Hotaru let out a little squeak. "Gohan come here!"

Hotaru grabbed his arm before he could say anything. "What's wrong Hotaru?"

She brought him to another room. "This could be another plan! I know my other ones didn't work but this one just has to work."

"Are you sure?" Gohan looked back at Trunks and Rini. 'Great another plan,' Gohan thought. "We've tried everything we could. What are we supposed to do? Just leave them alone on the island and Rini can take care of Trunks and by some miracle they will like each other." Gohan immediately closed his mouth with his hands.

Hotaru nodded. "Come on Gohan this will work. I just know it."

"Whatever you say Hotaru." Gohan shrugged and followed Hotaru back to the living room.

"Something wrong guys?" Rini asked.

"Um... yeah. We called Gohan's mom to say hi and she said that Gohan needed to do something for about 3 days. She also said it was ok for me to go with him."

"What!? You're gonna leave me with him!"

"You're gonna leave me with her! She's gonna make me more sick."

"Shut up." Rini threw a pillow at Trunks' head.

"Come one guys. It's not that bad," said Gohan.

"Yes it is!" Trunks and Rini said together.

"Oh look at the time. Time for us to go Gohan!" Hotaru grabbed Gohan's hand rushed through the door.

Rini and Trunks just stood there thinking about what just happened for a second.

Both of them then looked at each other but turned away and walked in separate directions.

Outside the window Gohan and Hotaru watched them.

Hotaru moved down from the windowsill. "This will work perfectly."

"But where are we gonna stay for three days? Should we really stay at my mom's house?" Gohan wondered.

"Could we really? I would really like to see your mom."

"I don't think you should. She gets sorta... well just don't get on her bad side."

"Yay! Come on then. It's almost dark so we better get there fast," Hotaru excitedly said.

"Ok. Let's go." Gohan picked Hotaru up and flew to his house.

Rini sat on the floor gazing at the TV screen. 'I wonder what that purple-haired-freak is doing. It's too quiet,' Rini thought. Unexpectedly, Rini heard a scream and crashing noises from the kitchen. She quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.

Trunks was leaning on the counter with papers, books, cups, everything on the floor. He was rubbing his hand on his forehead.

"Trunks are you ok!?" Rini tried her best to pick him up so she had to slowly lay him on the floor. "Trunks?"

Trunks looked up at Rini with tired eyes. "I'm fine. I can get up on my own. I don't need your help."

Rini ignored what he said and placed her hand on his forehead. "Trunks, you're burning up. You better get to bed. Come on." Rini lifted Trunks' arm and tried to get him to stand.

When Trunks was up he pushed Rini away. "I told you I don't need help."

"Look don't act all tough. You're sick and you need rest!"

"Fine! I'll go rest!" Trunks rested his hand on the wall for support as he slowly walked to the hallway.

"Humph." Rini stood in the hallways just to see whether Trunks could do it or not.

'She thinks I can't withstand a little headache. I know I can do this.' Trunks' vision began to get blurred and unsteady. He still kept going and looked up at the 12-step stair he has to climb up.

Rini slowly followed behind Trunks just in case. 'I don't know why I even bother.'

Trunks walked up the stairs at a normal pace trying his best to hide the pain in his head. When he got at the top his eyesight seemed even worse. As he walked, he steps was uneasy.

Rini walked closer to him. "Trunks, you need my help. Just ask and I will help you. Don't act so proud and arrogant."

Trunks still kept walking. "When I need your help I... will... tell.......you."

"Trunks? Trunks!"

He fell against the wall and slowly slid down to the floor and he passed out.

"Ugh. My head." Trunks struggled to sit up. His eyes slowly got back into focus. "Rini?"

She was quietly sleeping on the floor against the wall with her head bowed down. Her arms were folded in front of her chest and her legs crossed over each other.

Trunks slightly smiled. "Rini." He worked his way off the bed and walked in front of Rini.

Rini lifted her head and let it hang over her shoulder. She gave a little sigh and let her arms drop beside her.

Trunks slowly bend down beside her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Time to wake up Rini." He shook her roughly until she woke up.

"Hey, hey! I'm a wake! Stop!" Rini quickly stood up.

"I'm hungry."

"What do you want me to do?" Rini spat.

"Cook."

"You're expecting me to cook for you? Remember the cookies?" Rini reminded Trunks.

Trunks scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, but come on. Maybe a sandwich or soup. Please, my head really hurts."

Rini crossed her arms. "Fine, but you have to be downstairs. I'm not gonna walk up and down the stairs."

"Yes, your highness." Trunks quickly stood up straight and his head already ached.

"Since I'm really nice I'll try to bring you downstairs." Rini held up Trunks while trying to get him down the stairs.

Trunks turned his head towards Rini. "Thanks Cone-head."

"Yeah, yeah." Rini tried her best to hide the blush she had.

Rini carefully put Trunks on the couch. "There. You stay here, be quiet, and don't bother me.

"What?! Me?! Arg fine." Trunks crossed his arms and sinked into the couch.

"You're so hard-headed," Rini said walking away.

Trunks grabbed the remote and turned the television on. "I heard that. I'm not hard-headed, I just get mad easily," Trunks muttered.

A few minutes later Rini came back with a tray and soup.

"Here." Rini laid it on the table beside Trunks and sat on the chair across from him.

Trunks took the bowl and in one gulp ate all of it. "Thanks." He then turned his attention back to the television.

'Hm.. How'd he do that?' Rini watched the TV as well.

Hours passed by the sky grew darker. Rini was already falling asleep. A sound of something dropping immediately shook up Rini.

"What was that?!" Rini looked around and saw that Trunks had fallen asleep and dropped the remote. Rini sighed and went to pick it up.

"Rini."

"Hn?" Rini looked closely at Trunks. She softly poked at his shoulder. "Trunks?"

"Cone-head."

Rini bopped Trunks on the head with the remote and huffed. "Eer... can't stand him!" Trunks sat back down on her seat.

Trunks winced a bit but still was asleep.

"Mom! Hotaru's here!" Gohan entered the house with Hotaru behind him.

Chi-chi walked out of the kitchen in her apron. "Why hello Gohan, Hotaru. I'll get your father." Chi-chi walked into a room and yelled for Goku. "GOKU!! GOHAN AND HOTARU IS HERE!!!"

"My ears..." Hotaru rubbed her ears.

"You'll get used to it."

T_T I'm actually disappointed how I wrote Trunks' attitude. I hope it was ok. It wasn't the best but I tried to get this finished. *sigh* I still wish I put more effort in this.
