VIII. Starting All Over Again
--------------------
Previously:
He hated mornings. He hated headaches. He hated bathrooms. He hated lights. He hated the fluorescent lights. The humming sound they make. The hmmmmmmzzzz sound. He couldn't get it out of his head. Hmmmmmmzzzzzzzz.
…
Then she punched him in the gut and watched him double over and fall unconscious. Picking him up by the back of his shirt collar, she sneered, and dragged him off to the island. 'Some super saiyan'
--------------------
He woke with a groan as pain swelled in his lower abdomen. His eyes opened immediately recalling what had happened in the morning, to find the angry eyes of Krillin. Trunks was not-so-obviously confused. When did Krillin come? The saiyan sat up quickly, noting that he was on a couch.
He looked around the small living room and his eyes lands on Juuhachigou, standing in the far corner staring at him coldly. This wasn't his apartment… 'At least I know why Krillins here…'
"What the hell is going on?" he asked bitterly.
Trunks's gaze turned back towards Krillin's, who was standing before him.
Krillin growled and yelled out.
"What's going on??? What's going on!!??" He gestured largely with his hands, bring them out each time he asked.
"What the fuck were you doing last night???…With my DAUGHTER??"
Trunks scowled, narrowing his eyes and in a low voice he questioned thoughtfully, "Marron?"
"Hmf…don't jump to any conclusions, I wasn't with her last night." He crossed his arms and glared at the small man in front of him. 'At least, I don't think I was…'
Krillin, too, crossed his arms across his chest. Anger was seeping through his veins, glowering up at the man in front of him. He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, next, you'll be telling me that you don't remember what you did last night?" Sneering at Trunks, Krillin shot daggers through his eyes (not in a literal sense though).
Trunks just growled.
Juuhachigou, who had remained silent long enough, walked over to the two males. She stood next to her husband.

Marron stretched and yawned as she clambered out of her room. She slept ALL morning. Quickly entering the kitchen, she hoped she wasn't late for work.
She walked briskly, passing the living room; she saw her mother and father out of the corner of her eye.
"Morning, daddy. Morning, mom." She stated so tiredly as she stepped into the kitchen, then, she paused. Did she just see what she think she saw? Slowly, she took a few steps back. She blinked.
"Trunks…"
Marron watched as he tore his glare away from her parents to her. His left shoulder was lightly burned, his clothes were slightly torn. Dark circles surrounded his eyes…
"…What are you doing here?"
Her voice was soft, eyes clouded with question…and something else that was…intelligible.
Krillin was swiftly at her side.
"Marron, honey? Are you feeling okay? Don't worry, I can call your work and tell them you're sick." All his anger and contempt towards Trunks, melted into worry and concern for Marron.
She smiled, "Daddy…I feel fine, nothing a senzu bean couldn't heal…right?"
"Are you sure? You don't want to stay home today and rest?"
"Daddy…I'm fine."
Juuhachigou eyes softened as she looked towards her family.
Trunks 'hmphed' and sneered, "I'd hate to break this tender loving moment, but I'm getting the hell out."
The worry and concern that Krillin had for Marron turned back into the anger he had towards Trunks.
He growled, "I'd advise you to stay away from Marron."
The half-saiyan smirked, and cocked his head to the right.
"What? You're going to stop me?"
Krillin growled.
Trunks scoffed.
"What ever I did last night, must've really pissed you off, no?"
"I'll SHOW YOU PISSED OFF!"
Letting out a cry, Krillin pounced. Trunks stopped the shorter man with one hand. His grin grew and a mock expression of surprise appeared on his face.
"You actually ATTACKED me!" sarcasm dripped through his voice.
"Liste-…" Krillin started, before his wife cut him off.
"And the idiot really doesn't remember anything."
He looked at Juuhachigou.
She turned to look at Trunks, "You really don't."
Trunks frowned. He looked over at Krillin, then at the girl behind him. Marron was staring at her feet, her head shot up when she felt another's eyes on her.
Quietly, he asked, "What did I do?"
Krillin growled again, "What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DOOO? WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU DID! YOU--…" and, again, he was cut off, this time by his daughter.
"Nothing."
Juuhachigou stared at Marron with wide eyes. Krillin's jaw dropped slightly. Trunks studied her face. Stern, 'and… tired?'
Flabbergasted, Krillin looked over at her daughter, "Wh-wha-…wha--? Marron…?"
"Daddy, it was nothing." Marron turned her head to face the saiyan, "It was nothing important."
Trunks looked confused for a second, before his eyes narrowed, and a frown reappeared upon his lips.
Curtly, he let out a, "Fine," then stalked out of the house and flew off the island.
Krillin still stared at Marron with his mouth open.
Juuhachigou got over her surprise and just looked at Marron questionably.
Marron looked at her mother, then at her father, then back to her mother.
"I'm fine!"
