(A/N: This is my first songfic, so bear with me. Personally, I think I got a bit too sappy...) Chapter Four "Let me go!" Bra stood, scrambling off her brother's lap, shrugging off his comforting hugs. "Bra! No... Don't go off alone!" Bra ignored him, running out of the room towards her bedroom. "Please? Don't leave me alone..." Trunks pleaded, but she was gone. "Dende, why did he have to die? Why?" Bra locked her door behind her. Bra threw herself onto the bed, burrowing her face into the soft down pillows. Trunks watched her go, feeling something tear inside. He turned and ran for the Gravity Room. Entering the GR, he spun the dial to 250. "Dende, what did I ever do to you? How can you be so cruel?" Bra's tiny form heaved with sobs, the pillow soaking wet. "You said you'd never leave me!" Trunks and Bra cried in unison. "Dad..." Trunks suddenly dropped to his knees, hands clutching his head. His tears puddled on the floor of the GR. "TOUSAN! YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D BE HERE!" "Daddy..." Bra sobbed into her pillow. "You promised..." Trunks whispered. "You said you'd always be there for us..." "All those nights.... All those nightmares... You made them go away! And now they'll be back to haunt me again..." "Come back... please... Come back to me..." Bra sobbed out. And then in unison, they said: "I need you! ...Come back..." "I'll never see you again..." Trunks cried out, his blue eyes red from crying and sorrow. "Dende?" Bra called, hoping for an answer. "Is this some horrible nightmare? Will I just wake up and this will all be over?" "Damn you Dende... I don't know what you want from us, but did you really have to do this? You could have spared him! He didn't need to die!" Trunks stood, tears streaming down his face, and powered up to Super Saiya-jin. "Whatever. I don't care about this planet anymore." Trunks turned the G up to 350. Training commenced. -~Don't say that. Please tell me you didn't say that.~- "I did." "Don't lie to me, Trunks. I know you didn't mean that." Dende murmured to himself, looking over the edge of the lookout. "I'm sorry, Dende-sama." Bra mumbled, her blue eys filled with tears. "Trunks paused. "this is no good..." He sighed and shut the machine down, powering down with it. He walked off in search of Bra. Someone. Anyone. Bra looked up as she heard a knock on the door. "G' way!" "Bra? Please? Open the door..." "I can't find anyone... Please, Bra? Let me in..." "Please? Bra? I... I need you..." Bra opened the door, and Trunks stepped into the room, the door closing with a swish behind him. Bra walked back to the bed, sitting down on it and hugging her knees to her chest, watching Trunks silently. Trunks bounced onto the bed, forgetting his dignity and seizing Bra with a hug as tears poured down their faces. "I can't believe he's gone... I feel so afraid..." Bra said. "Shhh. It's all right. We still have each other." (A/N: YECH! I'm gettin sappy... Evil... *bonks herself on the head and then continues*) "It's not all right." "It may not be now, but it will be." "How can you be so sure? He promised! He promised..." Bra broke of with a sob. Trunks found himself comforting Bra as if she was the only one who needed it, when he himself needed it as much, if not more. "You think he wanted to die??" "You think he wanted to break that promise?" Bra didn't respond, crying harder than before. "He wanted to live, Bra." Trunks whispered. "I miss him so much..." "I miss him too. We all do." "Will I ever see him again?" "At some point, far from now, yes, we will see him again." But not for a long time now, Bra." "He's really Gone..." Bra whispered, the full realization slowly slapping her in the face. "Isn't he? He won't come back?" Trunks stared at his younger sister, not quite sure what to say. Bra beat her fists against Trunks's heavily muscled chest. (A/N: *drools* Ok... I'm back to the sad bit now. Sorry for breaking the moment...) "Tell me! Talk to me!" "TRUUNKSSS!" He winced. Damn, she's loud. "Hopefully he has some credit with the Kais. We may just see him again. All we can do is hope." "But until then, yes, he's Gone." "No..." Bra whispered. "NOOOO! COME BACK!!" "HE DIDN'T DIE!" Bra wailed. The Z-Gang heard Bra's screams. "Shit." Gohan muttered. "How could we have been so stupid?" And they took off. "HE DIDN'T DIE! TELL ME HE DIDN'T DIE!" "Bra! Please. He's dead. Let it all out, but don't kill my ears in the process..." He tried vainly to give some humor to the situation, to no avail. Bra stopped screaming, hinstead whispering the words, her face buried in her brother's chest. Trunks hugged her, again at loss for words. The Z Gang rushed into Bra's room to find a scene of despair, the result of two sorrowful hearts with no other outlet. Trunks had his forehead restingon bra's her, his shirt soaked. he was crying. Openly. Shamelessly. A few moments later Chi Chi and Marron rushed forward, consoling them as best as they could as Vegeta was let into Otherworld.

Read it and laugh your head off. *nods* The song is Terrible Lie by Nine Inch Nails, CD: Pretty Hate Machine. Awesome CD, btw. Oh, and all that stuff about 'he promised'... well, basically (I should have put this up there, but whatever.) Bra had a nightmare and Trunks went to comfort her, then *gasp*, Vegeta told her it was ok and promised them he'd always be there for them... Sounds so unlike Veggie. But yeah, this is my twisted mind. It's very hard to get used to... And how did I do on the songfic? Horrid? Ok? I know it didn't really add anything to the story... but I have the CD and I just thought the song fit this situation perfectly. Plus I wanted to try a songfic. Personally, I think I got waaaaay to sappy... through my little sister screamed the stuff Bra was when my dog died... *shrug* Well, just let me know what I can do to fix my songfics. Review!!! |
