Enjoy chapter two and I apologize for the long blank spaces at the end of the chapters, also the length ^_^ Hopefully they'll get longer as the story rolls.

SHATTERED

Chapter 2: DARKNESS

Hurt? Pain? Are those words even close to describing how she felt? She had always loved him, but not ever like this before. Why? Pan always had to take everything away from her. She knew from the moment she saw her face that she would destroy her life, but why hadn't she said anything? Was she too scared? More anger poured from her heart, why, she had never been so angry in her life! She was going to pay for what she did to him, she vowed. "But what can I do?"

*~*~*~*~*

"I hope you like it " Bra said giving him the bag. He grumbled, but she could see his face light up a bit. He opened the bag. "Wow, Final Fantasy X?" he said dryly. Her smile turned to a frown. "You don't like it?" she asked. He sighed. "Bra, why'd you waste your money on that crap?" "What do you mean? That game sold out…it was the last copy…it was expensive," she said sadly. Goten walked in the room. "Hey, so do you like it?" he asked cheerily. "No Goten I don't" he said gritting his teeth. Goten looked at him. "What's wrong with it?" "I have this game already…I paid a lot for it and it was crap," he said. Bra's eyes met Goten's. He saw worry and hurt welling up. "Um, well, we'll change it" he said going over to Trunks and taking the game. "Good, take it and…do what ever, I don't want anything…" he said closing his eyes. "But Trunks-" "but Bra" he said mocking her. He lip quivered and she left the room. "What's wrong with you Trunks?" Goten asked angrily. Trunks was getting pissed. "What's wrong with me?" he said hoarsely. "I'm in a bed. I can't move. How the hell do you think I'm feeling damn it!! I'm not going to be able to walk for months, hell, it might even be years-" "What about the dragon balls?" Goten asked. "The dragon balls? Do you think they'd use those damn things again? Those things caused so much trouble…god…" he said. Goten looked down. "I'll find them," he said. Trunks shook his head. "My mom lost the radar" "well, we'll build a new one" he said. "I don't think she will," he said. "Not even for her own son?" Goten asked. Trunks looked at him with anger and a tint of sadness. "Not even for her own son…"

*~*~*~*~*

"Another Dragon Ball Radar?" Bulma asked. Goten nodded. Bulma sighed. "Look, I hate to break it to ya kid, but, I think those Dragon Balls caused too much trouble… and, well, we, we all made a pact not to use them, it just seems to attract the wrong people, we can't use the dragon balls anymore, we were 'banned'" she said. "Banned?" Goten asked. Bulma nodded. "It's a long story you don't need to hear, so just forget about it…Trunks will heal eventually, we have all the best doctors on him" she said. Goten sighed. "I tried…" he said. "I'm really sorry Goten," she said touching his shoulder. He looked at her then left. Bulma sat down in her seat and sighed. "Oh Trunks…" she said. Tears welled in her eyes and she quickly wiped them away. "Don't fall into darkness…" she said.

Pan walked into the kitchen and was greeted by an awkward silence. She bit her lip and sat down in her seat next to her father's. Chi Chi brought a plate of food and a pair of chopsticks for her. "Thanks Grandma…" she choked out. Gohan flashed her and angry glance. She knew he was still pissed about what had happened in her room. Goten came in through the kitchen door with a look of worry on his face. Chi Chi looked at him. "Hon, are you ok?" she asked. He nodded passing the food straight. "Goten-" "I'm fine mom, I, I just need to think…" he said leaving the room. They exchanged worried glances and continued on with their silent dinner. Pan put her chopsticks down. She lost her appetite. "Uh…can I be excused?" she asked. Gohan didn't even look up. "Go on honey" Videl said looking at her husband. "Thanks mom" she said leaving the table. She went upstairs and went into Goten's room. He was on the roof. "Goten?" she said. He saw her and smiled. "What's wrong?" she asked sitting next to him. He sighed. "It's Trunks" he said. "What? Is he alright?" she asked quickly getting up. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back down. "He's fine, he's just angry," he said looking down. "Angry?" she asked. He nodded. "He hates it, he hates being babied again" Goten said. "What can we do?" Pan asked her uncle, but he didn't reply, he was staring straight ahead as the day became night, and the light, gave in to the darkness…
