Chapter Five- From the Future to the Future

            Trunks stared at the place that had been his home for so long. This place was dear to him, but the memories were already beginning to flock at him, and attack. He had to leave.

            True, he had destroyed the androids a long time ago. Seven years in fact. But he wanted to make absolutely sure that he had been born. Trunks also had not wanted to leave his mother alone. His mother had always meant so much. Letting him train, even when she was scared that every night he wouldn't come home. But then she had died.

            He had been devastated. Bulma had been so calm about it, when she had told him. She had told him so simply that she was dying. He had cried for a long time, but she had told him to go back to his love. Trunks had been shocked, and wanted to know how long she had know, but she had just smiled that secret little smile. Then he had sat with her, until her spirit departed.

            The last word she had whispered had been 'Vegeta.'

            And he cried for a long time, but it was true, his mother would be happier. She was with her friends again, and she was with her Saiyan Prince.

            Trunks knew that it was best not to stay here too long. He would get too wrapped up in the memories that he had lived here. So he had packed quickly, and quietly, taking very little, only what he absolutely needed. Then in the dead of night, with the stars twinkling overhead, and the moon bathing him in a milky white light, he headed back to his love.

            "Protect me my angel, and I pray that my love is still true."

            And he left his home.

                                                ***********

            Gohan sat quietly in class trying to ignore the loving gazes that the pigtailed girl sitting next to him was throwing at him. He had no interest in this Videl Satan. None at all. But for some stupid reasons she had gotten the idea, that he liked her. Of course, Gohan was much too shy to admit to her, that he was already in love with someone else. But what he would have told her anyway? That he was in love with someone that he had met when he was eleven, seven years ago? The thought even seemed absurd to him. But he still loved his Saiyan Prince, very much. But he had given up hope that Trunks was returning to him. He prayed every night to the Guardian Angel that Trunks said he had left behind for him, that the purple-haired demi-saiyan would return to him. But he never did. Gohan has been left alone with a broke heart.

            "Gohan, can home with you after school today to train?" Videl asked.

            "I guess so." Gohan answered absent mindly.

            His thoughts were really on that first and only kiss they had shared before Trunks had left. Gohan hadn't known what he was doing. He had been quick and rash. But he had enjoyed it, and all the weird feelings and thoughts had been answered instantly. He loved Trunks. It was so simply really. But then he had been so afraid as he just sat there, hanging onto that  moment in which his love was revealed. What if Trunks didn't return his feelings? But then it had been so obvious, when Trunks had touched him so gently, playing with his hair. He had known that Trunks had loved him all along.

            Gohan sighed as the bell rang, and grabbed his books and headed out of the class, with Videl at his heels. Gohan tried to forget his lost love. But somehow he could never manage it.

                                                            **********

            Chibi Trunks and Chibi Goten raced as the doorbell to Capsule Corp rang. Trunks threw open the door, and his eyes got wide, before he and Goten screamed, and Trunks slammed the door.

            Bulma came towards the door.

            "What's the matter?!" she yelled.

            "One of your clones got loose again and it's at the front door!" Goten screamed.

            Bulma frowned at Goten.

            Suddenly Vegeta was behind her.

            "The brat's back?" he questioned her.

            "What?" Bulma asked, confused between brats and clones.

            "The brat from the future!" Vegeta growled, annoyed.

            "Future Trunks!" Bulma exclaimed, understanding at once.

            Chibi Trunks and Chibi Goten looked at each other and shrugged.

            Bulma threw open the door, and hugged an extremely confused Mirai Trunks.

            "Oh Kami! It's so good to see you again! How are you kid?"

            "I'm fine Bulma." Mirai Trunks said, coming in and grinning. "Who are the two kids that started screaming?" 

            "Oh... Oh! That was Trunks and Goten." Bulma explained.

            "Goten?" Mirai Trunks asked.

            "Goku's second son."

            Chibi Trunks looked up at his mom.

            "Mom, who is he?"

            "Trunks, this is Trunks. But he's from the future." Bulma tried to explain to the eight year old.

            Chibi Trunks and Goten looked at each other and shrugged again, before running off.

            "Hello brat." Vegeta said as a greeting.

            Mirai Trunks grinned, at the recognition.

            "Hello Vegeta."

            Bulma was still talking however.

            "-you can see the others when we go to drop Goten off!"

            "Gohan, too?" Mirai Trunks asked before he could stop himself.

            Bulma nodded and smiled.

            "Gohan too."

Author's Note: Okay, Truth is I cut Chapter Five in half. Busted, huh? It was just too long. I don't like my chapters to be too much longer then other chapters. And with how short Chapter Two was, I just couldn't have a chapter that long! But now I'll be able to add an extra part! ^^ Email or review at vegetaztwin@hotmail.com And don't worry, I already have the next chapter written!
