disclaimers: I own it all!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Wanna see *shows documentation*

Goten: Its not real

AK: WHAT?!

Goten: *grabs paper and tears it up* Thank Kami she doesn't own it.

Ak: Your just scared that I'd have yummy, lemony scenes with you and Trunks. @_@

ENEMIES OR LOVERS?

All Goten could do was stare as Trunks and Merian made their way into Capsule Corporation. Tears coursed down his cheeks like twin waterfalls, his entire body was trembling. It took seveal minutes for reality to surface and it hit Goten with a vengence. He burst out into a fresh flood of tears, sobbing pitifully. All incoherent thought fled from his mind. The heart broken young man didn't hear the door open, didn't feel arms holding him tight, Saiyan senses did not pick up anything. He was floating in an abyss of self-pain.

Pan bit her lip as she cradled her uncle's prone form. "Uncle?!" Pan glanced at Nyobe. "What do we do? He's not registering my words. What have I done? If only I hadn't sent him here."

"Its not your fault Miss Pan. You didn't know." Nyobe sighed, getting in the driver's seat. "We had better leave before security sees us. Lucky for us we took the bus..."

Pan held her uncle, smoothing the dampened strands of hair sticking to Goten's cheeks. "Oh Uncle...." Pan glared at the dome shaped building. How could Trunks hurt Goten like that?! She knew Trunks loved Goten. It didn't make sense. "Nyobe...do you think Uncle will ever forgive Trunks for decieving him?"

"...Aah, Miss Pan, you shouldn't worry your mind with your uncle's problems. Your getting yourself sick by the anxiety." Nyobe smiled tenderly at the young Son. "Miss Pan, if you want to do anything for Master Goten, take care of yourself." Nyobe put a lock of ebony hair behind Goten's ear, the sleeping man sighed contently. 'I hope this doesn't affect you too badly...'

Trunks buried his head in his hands, stress getting to him. Mainly, the whole deal with Merian. The girl wasn't all that bad, she was incredibly kind and wasn't too bad of a looker. In fact, she was like the female equivalent of Goten. Trunks sighed. Goten... He feared the worse when Goten learned of the engagement. If it had been Goten getting married, then he would probably react rather irrationally. Trunks only hoped that Goten had a smarter head on his shoulders. Trunks raised his moisty eyes, staring out of the window. He ~wanted~ Goten to be in his life. He wanted Goten to be the one he saw every morning. He yearned to just kiss the other boy, making all their problems evaporate but Trunks knew he was only fantasizing. Goten could never be his. Both of their parents would hunt them down and seperate them for life.

Trunks rummaged through his desk's drawer, finding a picture of himself and Goten that had been shot the night of the party by his friends. Of course, neither of his friends knew that it was in fact the Son heir he was all over. Trunks chuckled, eyes sparkling with love. The two were mere inches from locking lips. Neither knew the photo had been taken until Sano present him with it. It was then Trunks knew he had to see Goten again. Their chance meeting in Kado Park further more caused Trunks to believe they were fated to be together forever..until that woman told Goten the truth and Trunks in turn had learned the truth.

"Why?" Trunks whispered, fingers darting over the figure in the angel costume. A tear dropped, splashing. The door opened, revealing Merian. The young Chinese woman smiled at Trunks warmly. "Merian?"

"Trunks....run away to him. Take him and never let go."

Trunks lips parted in shock. "M..Merian?"

Merian sat beside Trunks, her kind sable eyes full of understanding. She pulled a locket from her neck, opening the little heart. A picture of Merian and a young Chinese boy with quick, handsome features were holding hands. "Thats my love, Wufei. I was taken from him to be your wife. Our love was not accepted by my family. You see Trunks, Wufei is a warrior of our people and the union between my family and his is unacceptible. Like, with your love, our families hate each others. I have made my decision Trunks. Come midnight, I'm leaving for home where I'll meet Wufei and we'll go to another country and start over. Trunks, you must decided what you want. Do you love him?" Trunks went to open his mouth when Merian silenced him with a finger to his lips. "Dont answer that yet. Allow your heart to tell you. Goodbye Trunks and good luck. I hope we meet again on better terms." Merian kissed Trunks forehead softly, like a sister, and left the room.

Trunks glanced at the picture again. 'Allow my heart to tell me?' Trunks sighed, listening with undisguised purity. His heart thumped painfully loud against his chest, the irregular heartbeat came when he thought of Goten. A tingling sensation in the pits of his body, his soul he determined, ripped through. 'Is my heart telling me, I love Goten?' As if in response, it skipped a beat. Trunks nodded to himself and grabbed the keys from his desk.

Goten, after a long time of convincing Pan and Nyobe he would be fine alone, sat by himself in his dark bedroom. The lights were out, not having the gall to turn them on and be met with reality. He fondled a knife, his mind filled with pain that was causing him to react blatantly. Carelessly, he skimmed the blade across his left wrist. The pain didn't hurt, in fact, it felt good like an aphrodisiac of pleasure. He cut deeper, moaning. (masochist, ne?) Tepid blood flowed from the wound, already pooling around his body. Goten moved to his right wrist. Just as he went to slash it, the door to his bedroom was kicked down. The surprise startled Goten so much that he cut down. All he remembered before blacking out, was arms holding him and the soft whispers of an apology.
