Disclaimer: We do not own DBZ or Tenchi Muyo.. We do own TJ though!

Today I'm dedicating this story to. hmm.. lets see um myself! I'm in a conceited mood right now! Courtney dedicates it to: me also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~

'He is pretty cute,' thought Ryoko. She quickly pushed the thoughts out of her head and smiled to greet this new stranger.

"Hi I'm Trunks. Nice to meet you."

"Trunks? B, but isn't that Trunks?" Asked Ryoko confused.

Trunks blushed. 'She's pretty cute when she's confused,' he thought. He shook off his strange thought and quickly explained, "Oh I'm from the future. My mom died in my time so I live here now."

"Oh. Well you're much cuter all grown up in that case," Ryoko said flirtatiously then added, "Oh sorry, my names Ryoko. Pleased to meet you."

"Hey Trunks Ryoko's going to be staying here for awhile so how about taking her around?" Asked Bulma smirking at Trunk's crimson cheeks.

"Yes please do. I would like that," Ryoko said not removing her eyes from Trunk's face.

"Okay sure. So what's for dinner?" He asked once again.

"Woman! Get my food now before I blast you then eat you for my supper!!" Yelled Vegeta.

"Oh yes your highness, coming right up!" Bulma said sarcastically.

"Sorry about my father, he gets pretty grouchy when he doesn't eat," Trunks whispered.

"Really?" Ryoko laughed.

"So hey Trunks what's up?" Asked Gohan feeling a little left out.

"Are you alright Ryoko?" Asked Trunks ignoring Gohan.

"Mm, what do you mean?" She asked.

Trunk's pulled out a piece of cloth from his pocket and dabbed it on her head. "You're bleeding and you have a pretty deep cut on your head."

"I, I do?" She asked finally noticing the blood.

'He's so gentle just like.like Tenchi' she thought. Even just the thought of her ex love was enough for her heart to sink in the already deep pit it was in. She pushed Trunk's hand away and followed Bulma and Vegeta into the kitchen.

"Hey Trunks did you hear me?" Asked Gohan.

Trunks sat across from Ryoko at the table. 'Did I say or do something wrong?' he thought.

"Here everyone dig in!" Exclaimed Bulma proud of her cooking.

"It's about time Woman!" Vegeta said already stuffing his face.

"So Goten what do you want to do later?" Asked little Trunks eyeing Ryoko. 'She looks funny,' he thought.

"Why don't you come over and spend the night?" Suggested Goten happily.

"Aren't you hungry Ryoko?" Asked (future) Trunks upon noticing that she wasn't eating a whole lot.

Ryoko shook her head (no).

"Ryoko can I speak to you after dinner?" he asked trying not to blush.

"Ooo Trunks has a girlfriend!" Goten began to chant.

Trunks couldn't help but blush. Everyone looked at him.

'God the future me is such a dork!' thought little Trunks.

"That'd be fine honey. Go spend the night with Goten," Bulma said looking at little Trunks.

"I'll speak to you Trunks," Ryoko said glancing up at him.

"Hey Trunks would you go show Ryoko to her room?" Asked Bulma clearing the table after everyone was finished with dinner.

Trunks shook his head and got up to help her clear the table.

Little Trunks started making fun of the older him. Trunks got so annoyed he threw the boys out of the house and went upstairs into his room.

"Hey Brat you forgot the woman with the spiky hair!" Boomed Vegeta's voice.

Trunks came back, "Here Ryoko I'll show you to you're room."

"Um thanks Trunks," she said following him up the stairs. 'I don't think he likes me very much,' she thought feeling a little shy and lonely at the same time.

Trunks led Ryoko to her room in the back of the house.

"Here's your room so if you need anything I'm right next door," He said gesturing to his room.

"Oh okay, um hey Trunks didn't you have something to say to me?" She asked.

He looked at her as if he were 'drawing a blank' (um my friend wrote that in so if you're like me and don't know what it means its when you aren't sure what to say.or something like that.) "Um yeah I do. I wanted to ask you if I did something wrong. and if I did than I'm sorry," he replied.

"Wrong? Oh no of course not!" She said.

"Okay," he said relived than added, " Goodnight Ryoko." He walked into his room and shut the door.

"Goodnight Trunks," She said quietly and walked into her room.

It was lonely and dark which made her even more depressed than she already was. She wished she could find some excuse to go see Trunks. There was just something about him that she was attracted to despite how much it hurt her to think about ever loving someone else besides Tenchi. But Tenchi was with Ayeka now and she had to get over that, besides Trunks was pretty cute especially when he blushed.

~~

Meanwhile in Trunk's room:

'I hope Ryoko doesn't hate me. After all I did act pretty stupid around her. I blushed too much in front of her. I wonder why.' Trunks thought. His heart leapt every time he thought about Ryoko.

He rolled over on his side and tried to sleep even though the thoughts clouded his mind.

Next Chapter:

Ryoko gets up for a drink of water but instead of getting water she gets a visit from one of the Z characters. What secrets does this guy have? Does Ryoko have the same secrets?

Thanks to: Kawiistina again. I'm really happy someone likes my work for once. I really appreciate the reviews I get, thank you.

And to: MoonFairy. Thanks for reviewing..um I made an 'oops' I guess! You see I already wrote the entire story and it kind of goes the opposite way. It never came across my mind that I could have had her wait. Um I think Ryoko would maybe do anything to get another guy (not that I'm saying anything bad about her its just that maybe she would feel so low about herself if Tenchi didn't choose her she'd get into any relationship without thinking whether it'd be bad for her or not). I will keep what you said in mind however that would take me a while to fit that in to my next chapter if I chose to do that. Thanks again!

I am also writing another story called Eyes For Only You. It is also about Ryoko and.the DBZ character that she falls in love with that if you couldn't guess who it is yet than I'm not giving it away. Except I'm going the opposite way than I am with this story. So if you want to read that keep an eye out for it because I might be posting that soon.
