Disclaimer: I don't think I've put one in yet so, DiScLaImEr!! hehe or is it dIsClAiMeR ehe what looks better? hehe, oh well. I don' own either of these wondeful animes, but If I did, Trunks would walk around in boxers all day and Sailor Moon would have more gore. hehe, my thoughts. Sailor Moon has no gore at all. (Least not Dubbed)

The Real Me... Not What You Want Me To Be.

Chapter 4: Secerts Revealed

The young man reproached the lake, he stood there a moment then the Lady of the Lake rose. "I told you-"

The boy raised up his hand, calling her full attention. "My Lady, I have brought you a young man, almost worthy of you."

She raised her thin aqua eye brow. "You think any man is worthy of me?" she laughed. "Foolish boy, but let's see this 'man'." 17 nodded and gestured a man over...

-----

Renald and Goten had been walking through the forest for some time. Goten found it odd, but it seemed to him that Renald was avoiding the roads. 'Funny,' he thought. 'The roads are the one thing he would want to take.'

Renald moved on, silently. He stopped. "Goten, what are you carring with you?"

Goten was taken by surprise. "Well, I've got my families orders, kind of." he said, shifting the sack on his back. "Once we get into this next town, I'll get rid of this and go to the next town and just get what they need."

He nodded and kept moving.

"Where are you going?" Goten asked, trying to start a conversation.

He turned around and looked at Goten, "I'm going to, well I'm trying to find some hunters."

"Why, they kill your dog or something?" He asked, then spit.

Renald shivered. "No, I wanted...I don't know. Everything, Why am I telling you?!" He turned around yelling.

Goten stepped back. "Sorry, let's keep moving." he started to walk again. Renald groaned and moved ahead.

-----------

"Serena, please calm down!"

"Puppy, puppy, puppy!" She screamed happily as they passed by a large guard dog. "Can I pet the puppy, mommy?"

"I'm not your mommy Serena," She looked down. "I'm your aunt." Serena looked up at her.

"Don't cry, auntie. Please,"

Trista smiled faintly. "I'm sorry Serena, let's keep moving." She picked up the small blonde girl.

Now was the time to restore her. The witch woman would fix her right, I hope.

Trista looked down the road and saw two boys walking up to her, the one in the front smiled and the boy behind him was panting. The first boy ran up to her. "Excuse me," he asked, politely. The second boy ran up to him.

"Renald, what's the hurry?"

Trista looked hard at the boy's large red eyes. The boy's Large Red Eyes. The boy's Red Eyes. "ChibiUsa?" she asked absentmindedly. She shook her head. "I'm sorry."

Renald smiled. "It's all right. Uh, I wanted to ask if you knew what... town this was."

Goten opened his mouth. "But-" Renald stopped him.

Trista stared at the boy, 'Strange.' "Brickwinson, may I ask your names?"

"I'm Renald," Renald said shakily. "And this is Goten."

Goten stared at Renald questionably. "Renald, I thought." But Renald cut him off again.

"Who are you, and this cute little girl?"

Serena smiled and clapped her hands. Trista set her down. "I'm Trista, this is Serena. I'm sorry, I would invite you to stay the night, seeing as you have no where to go. But we're leaving town to visit a woman."

They both nodded. "Well, have a nice, trip?" Asked Renald. Goten raised an eye brow. "Bye."

Trista smiled and walked away, taking Serena's hand in hers. "Come on, Good- bye."

"Darn," Renald stated after Trista and Serena disappeared. He walked around a moment or two muttering to himself then walked over to Goten. "Come on, let's keep moving."

'If Goten wasn't here, I could have told Trista.... oh well, to late now. Hope you have a nice trip Trista...'

They continued walking down another path.

-------------------

Monkey Chick: Kite Kite! I realized just now NONE of the characters are Saiyjin or a Sailor. Okay? Good. Ja ne! Sorry, for this note but I know... you love the way my voice sounds... when I type hehe.

-------------------

Renald and Goten walked up to a old abandoned church. Renald smiled. "Perfect, Goten, we're staying here for the night. Okay?"

Goten looked at him then nodded. They walked into the old church. Renald sighed then moved up to the second pew and sat down, staring at the small box in the center, on an alter. A cross above it. Renald had an aura of sadness around him. Goten frowned and stared at him. 'What's wrong with him?'

He broke the moment, "You know, this reminds me of the church I went to with my mom. But it was a long time ago."

Goten sighed and sat down on the pew nearest him. "What happened to her?" he smiled.

Renald smiled and turned around, facing Goten, for maybe the first time since they left. "Everyone says she's dead. I don't believe them. I have to believe she's alive, so she can survive. You know what I mean?"

Goten nodded. "Yah,"

Renald nodded again and smiled hard at Goten. "You're not so bad, after a while. To be honest."

Goten blushed. "Thanks, you maybe a bit demanding, but, you're good."

He nodded, and blush a deep red, like his eyes.

Goten leaned back. "Who did you get the red eyes from? Mom, or dad?"

Renald blushed harder. "Neither, they both have blue eyes."

Goten sighed. "What's your dad like."

Renald turned around and began talking louder, his voice echoing throughout the church. Strangely, his voice was high pitched, not like normal, low.

"My dad? he's a great guy. But he was like me, he didn't want to give up on my mom, but over time, his advisors told him he should give up. He sent out my mother's advisor, and she hasn't come back. he remarried a woman named Rei. She was my mom's good friend. Mine too. But," He stopped. Goten guessed he was, well, crying. After a while, he started again. "When, -sniff- when they married I made a point to pretend to hate her. I guess over time, I really hate her now." He sounded upset. Goten guessed he should change the subject, or just stop talking.

Renald turned around. His eyes puffy from tears being held back. He forced a smiled. "Let's check this place out." His nose was red also. He sniffed then smiled for real. "You tell anyone about this. I swear I will hurt you." Goten nodded.

"Okay," Goten smiled. Renald was hiding something, that Goten should know about. He frowned, but followed as Renald walked up to the front and over to some old wooden steps. Renald quickly tested his weight on the first one. "With all that armor you're wearing, you think you'll make it. Come on take that off, It'll be easier to move around."

Renald looked offended. "You want me to take off the armor?" he yelled. "How do I know you just don't want me to take it t off so you can kill me?"

Goten was taken surprise. "Why would I want to kill you?"

Renald looked at Goten and sighed. "Come on." he said as he moved up the stairs, cautiously. Goten sighed and followed carefully.

Surprising, the stairs were quiet stable. One cracked and fell but Renald quickly jumped to the next. They were on the top level, Renald guessed it was where the pope would pray before going down.

The small torch Renald held in his hands flickered and died. "Great," he said worriedly. He whispered silent words of a pray then opened his eyes. "Goten, I have to be honest."

"Hm?"

"I'm dead scared of the dark."

Goten laughed. "Really, look." he said as he made his way slowly to a window. "The moon's so bright tonight." Renald laughed then walked over to him. "It lights the sky."

"And steals from it's brother. Goten can we PLEASE go down now?"

Goten laughed. "You can't be that scared."

There was a crash from the other side of the room. Renald gripped Goten's shoulder. "Goten, Please..." Goten motioned him to be quite as footsteps made their way over to them. Goten pulled Renald and himself away from the window slowly.

The footsteps made their way to the window and stopped. "Who's there?" Came a rough voice, tired. Renald squeezed his eyes closed tight. Goten's eye's went wide.

--------

The man stepped out of the forest. "Wow your hotter then I thought you would be!" the man said, smiling.

17 held his forehead. "Your Lady, Sir, Mater Roshi." he bowed then walked away. Ami walked over to him, wet and sparkly, smiling.

"You kept your part." she smiled. "Normally they don't." She smiled, and put her lips to his ear, seductively. "What do you want?"

He smiled. "Information on the Serenity, Usagi. Her where abouts."

She smiled and stepped back from him. "Committed. You had a chance to have anything, and you want to know this for some man? A mortal man!" She laughed. "Very well, Usagi was reborn by a young sorceress named Hotaru. She lives on the outskirts of Brickwonson. You want to find her?"

He nodded. "Yes."

She smiled. "You must bring her three pounds of grains. Assorted."

He laughed. "She is not to high in demand is she?"

"No, but she is young. Now move on, so you do not see the horror that will take place soon." He nodded and was off.



The Lady of the Lake smiled. "Come to me, Roshi." The man hooted and ran into the lake next to her. A wave flew over him and pushed him down. He pulled himself up and gagged.

"What?" he screamed. Another wave flew over him. She smiled and blew on him when he came back up. He screamed the froze. She smiled. "Ami! Watch for others. I have my work to do now!" She touched the frozen man and jumped back underwater.

---

Monkey Chick: I would have made it more gruesome... but sadly, I am NO Princess of the Monkeys. hehe, action storied with no plot! hehe Go MONKEYS!

---

The man lit a torch. Renald clutched Goten and began to shiver. "Who are you boys? well?" he asked. Moving closer to them. The flames lit his face as shadows danced along the walls. The man was bald.

(Were-Monkey Chick: hehe, I'll give you a hint, HE HAS NO NOSE! hehe have you got it yet? No?! You really are stupid!) Goten calmly grabbed Renald's hand off his shoulder and placed it at Renald's side.

"I'm Goten, and this is my friend, Renald." Renald quickly nodded.

"Yah, I'm Goten and this is..." he shook his head. "I'm Renald."

The man growled and placed a torch in Goten's hands, he lit it and walked over to the window again. "What are you boys doing here?"

Renald recovered himself. "We're traveling and were sleeping here the night."

Goten nodded as the man walked up to him. "Stay down there. This is the nuns room." He said pointing to a woman, standing in the corner unnoticed till the moment. "18 come here." The woman stepped forward. "She was coming up here when she heard voices. No one has come to this church ever since the sorceress came here."

Renald made a small, "huh?" and quickly said sorry or bothering them.

"Krillin, it's okay. I'm fine, everyone is."

Krillin sighed then backed off. "Fine. you boys can stay here the night, but be out early and leave no mess."

They nodded. "Stay down there. I'll bring you some food and a lamp."

Renald sighed. "Thank you."

Goten figured it was more for the light that was promised then the food. "Yes."

18 smiled and walked into another room. Krillin led them back down. "Stay here, don't touch anything down here, all right?"

They nodded. They sat down on the first pew together, waiting for 18 to come down with the food. "Nice of them." Renald said absentmindedly. Goten nodded.

"Yah," After a while, 18 came down with a light and some food, wishing them a good night.

Goten smiled, after a small meal. "Renald, I may not be the brightest person, but why don't you take off your hat? Something like your armor?" he laughed when Renald clutched it around the rims.

"Almost..."

"You'd start wondering if you were a girls or something." He laughed, then looked at Renald. "But you are, aren't you?"

Renald smiled and then frowned. Standing up, almost shouted. "What do you mean a girl! Is it wrong for girls to travel or something?"

Goten smiled, "You are a girl." He stood up and pulled off her hat. Her long hair cascaded down to her calves. She sighed. "Oh my, gosh."

"Better then I expected... form a boy." She walked away from him. "You can go on without me." She bowed down before him and handed him her sword. Goten blushed.

"You want me to... kill you?"

She looked up. "That's what they do where I'm from. I want to experience the pain I would have to go through if I really lived there still. I die nobly, it's in my blood."

He looked and the sword. "Then who would believe in your mother." She looked down again.

"No one, no one would have to. NO one remembers her but me. And no one will remember me, but you. Sir." She smirked.

"But I don't want to kill you, I've told you before." he walked up to her. "I'm not going to kill you so you feel like you did something... you told a few lies, big deal. No one got hurt right?"

"We might. You might. I will." Goten lifted her chin.

"What's your real name?"

A faint smile played at her lips. "You can call me Rini."

"Well, nice to meet you Rini. Take off the armor, you have nothing to hide now."

Rini blushed. "And I was just getting used to the name too."

He smiled and carefully helped her out of the breastplate armor. He blushed but continued helping. When she was out of the suit she sat down, feeling like Jell-O without all that support. "Good night, Goten." she said laying down on the hard floor.

"Good night." he said as she slipped into a dreamless sleep. He sighed. She was pretty. Very pretty to be perfectly honest. And he felt it would only be wrong if, well, something didn't happen between them soon. But she seemed so caught up in life, she couldn't love. She couldn't take a friend's love when they tried to help her through the lose of her mother. Was she like that with other people? No -yawn- I need to stop thinking about everything and just forget about it! He told himself. He lay down next to her on the floor. Good night, he thought as he followed her into the wonderful world of forgetfulness.
