Chapter 4: The Voice In The Night
(Ryoko's POV)
"Ryoko .. Ryoko.. can you hear me?" A soft voice called to me. I opened one and saw what seemed to be Onyx colored eyes looking back at me, worried.
"Where am I? What happened? And why do I feel as if I've been hit by a ton of bricks?"
"You were fighting Trunks dear, again, and the two of you got hurt badly. You've been out of it for at least a day, mumbling about some guy named Tenchi. Are you sure your alright?"
Tenchi! How could I let that slip out! And here I thought I had already gotten over that bastard. Okay, maybe he was a wonderful bastard who didn't mean to break my heart, but a bastard nonetheless. I slowly began to sit up only to have Chi Chi gently push me back onto the bed.
"No way am I letting you out of bed! You're probably still hurt. Those boys! Always playing rough! You stay here and I'll get you something to eat, your probably starving!" She slowly got up from some chair that seemed to be mysteriously placed by the bed and, grabbing what seemed to be a bowl of water, slipped out the door quietly, leaving it ajar a little.
I sighed, and despite Chi Chi's warnings, I sat up with my back against the wall and exhaled softly. This never would have happened if I had the gems! I thought miserably. THE GEMS! I had completely forgotten! I tugged on my earring and pulled off one of my fake gems. If this doesn't help me, nothing will! I placed it into the palm of my hand, and balled my hand into a fist around it. I smiled as I noticed it disappear and reappear at the base of my wrist.
I began to crawl out of bed, already feeling myself being healed. The first thing I noticed was the strange PJ's I was in. Last time I checked, I didn't own a giant jersey. Oh well, probably pitied me and gave me one of Gohan's shirts. I tip toed out of the room and teleported out side making sure no one saw me. No need for me to go around having to explain my ability to teleport everywhere.
I reappeared outside the small home and the first thing I noticed was the cool, crisp fall air around me. I hugged myself, as if trying to keep out the cold. I looked up and down and found a nice big rock where I sat and enjoyed this beautiful fresh air that seemed to be the only thing that could heal me. Sigh, all I need now is someone to stare at these beautiful surroundings with and a cup of hot chocolate.
As I kicked my feet, I noticed someone approaching me from the side of the house, a coat in his arms. It was Trunks. As he got closer I noticed the bandages on his face and the one that was around his head. "What are you doing out here? You want to die out here in the cold and make me get in trouble for it, don't you?" He smirked as he handed her a jacket.
"So it seems you look as bad as I do from our fight."
"Yeah, yeah. But at least I woke up earlier. You sure your alright?"
"My! I've never seen you so worried before! What happened to the old Trunks? But maybe I shouldn't ask, I like this Trunks better." I winked at him causing to blush deeply.
"Oh hush! Come on; let's go back to the house, before Chi Chi has an even bigger fit" The two of us walked back silently towards the house; I don't know what came over me but I was the first to speak the words.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have fought with you." I blinked. It was almost worth it seeing the reaction of Trunk's face. He smiled at me.
"Yeah, I guess I'm sorry to."
"I guess I like to argue a lot and that sometimes leads to a big mess." I giggled. What the- I NEVER giggle! NEVER!
"Me too. Let's try not to fight again, the next time we might give Chi Chi a heart attack."
"Well maybe not completely stop, remember I like to argue with you." We smiled at each other. I could get used to this. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the portal to a little more than a year to open.
~**~**~**~***~
Somewhere in a dark palace, in the middle of nothingness, a young girl sat at a giant chair over looking several portals to other worlds. She snarled as she witnessed the encounter of Trunks and Ryoko. She turned to her servant who waited faithfully by the side of the desk.
"Tell me, Yoshi, who is that girl and how does she have the ability to travel between time."
"Records show that she has some type of portal device."
"Interesting. I MUST have it! To think, I could finally be rid of this nothingness and complete my plans. Stupid Goddesses! What right did they have stopping me before and trapping me in this abyss of darkness and nothingness?"
"Ma'am like you said, they had NO RIGHT!"
"Yes, yes! Continue to flatter me Yoshi. Nearly 100,000 years is a long time to be in this hole. I need my ego to grow."
"Shall we get back to the matter of hand? We need for them to come here so we can steal the machine. The only way they can get here is if they pass through a series of other dimensions. Then when it's about a dimension away, we can lead them here with a signal, and then we can steal it and be out of here."
"Excellent!"
"But, we must wait a weeks time before they can start moving. There seems to be a little default with the machine." The young child thought for a while before she turned to look up at her servant.
"Send out the spirit of time to that dimension! Get her to speed up the process and start that girl to being lead to here!"
"But Ma'am, she's smarter than that. She knows how it works and will become suspicious of how it got to teleport her somewhere else so fast!" The girl thought of this for a while as well, before she turned to her servant grinning.
"There are two young boys in that house who we can use! Get the spirit to lure one of them to the machine. I don't care HOW she does it, just do it!" The man next to her bowed. Then left to dispatch the spirit.
"Soon. Soon, I shall break free of this pathetic darkness, and then, I will conquer all of these realms, AND take revenge upon those who tried to stop me!" She laughed evilly before she began to cough and order her other servants to get some water for her.
~**~**~***~***~
(Trunk's POV)
I lay on the blanket of Goten's room thinking, what in the world's happening to me? One minute I was arguing with Ryoko, the next smiling and laughing with her as if we were old friends. That girl, there's something definitely different about her.
Goten walked into the room, closing the door behind him. He mumbled a good night before crawling under his covers and going to sleep. I did the same not thinking anymore of this situation.
Help me! Someone, please help me! I'm so afraid! Help me! Please find me..
I sat up angrily ready to scream. "If that person doesn't shut up, I'm going to go find them and MAKE them shut up!" I mumbled to myself as I tried to lie back down on the comforter when the voice moaned again. This was starting to get old. I sat up once again only to notice Goten trying to quietly slip out of the room. He noticed me looking at him and smiled weakly.
"That stupid voice is keeping me up. I'm going to go find out who's moaning and make them regret it."
"Yeah, I guess I'll go with you, that way I'll give them a piece of my mind to!" The two of us set up slowly tiptoeing down the hall, only to stop at the room Ryoko was sleeping in, her light snores coming to our ears as we stood out side the door.
Please, you must help me! This witch keeps me locked away in this room in her bag, you must free me!!!
"Stupid voice we heard you the first time." We opened the door slowly and peaked in. Ryoko was knocked out on the bed and probably wasn't waking up anytime soon. We saw a small light coming from her bag, and seeing as I had already gotten beaten up by Ryoko previously, I pushed Goten forward to retrieve whatever that thing was trapped in.
Goten went through the bag slowly, emerging with what seemed to be the size of a large watch. It was glowing.
Press the button on top! That way, I will be freed!
I went a little closer towards Goten as he did as the thing asked and began to press the button. Just then Ryoko shot up out of bed and crawled over to us. Fire was in her eyes.
"What the hell do you think your doing? Give me that before the two of you break it!"
"There's something in here that's keeping us awake and we are not going to sleep until it shuts up! And the only way to do that is to press the button on this thing."
"What's keeping you awake? Whatever you do just don't -"
To late. Goten had pressed the button while Ryoko was fighting to get it back. Ryoko looked horrified. "OH MY GODS!" She snatched the device from Goten's hands just as a giant purple was opened and a voice was laughing, that same voice that had been moaning.
HA-Ha! Suckers!
The hole began to spin, and then turn into a whirlpool, which tried to suck in Ryoko. Goten grabbed onto her waist and tried to pull her out, but in turn, he too was starting to be pulled in. I grabbed onto Goten's waist pulling with as much force as possible.
Only, we failed. One by one we were all dragged screaming into the whirlpool.
The only thing I could hear behind us was Chi Chi and Gohan screaming at us to come back. While ahead of us I could swear I heard someone scream out. "Sailor Moon!"

Sorry I'm so late in updating the fic. I've been brainwashing with this other idea. Seems to have taken away my ability to think with this one! ^^() Oh, I would also like to say that I need some beta readers for my fics. I think it will help; we wouldn't want anything too sappy now would we?
If you would like to be my beta reader, be prepared for sap, angst, romance, and anything my little brain can think up at the moment! ^-^ Email me if you are interested. My address is in my FF.Net profile. Bye for now, and don't forget to review please!
