Follow the Black Crow: Chapter One; The Trip and The Quick Return
* * * * * *
Artemis and Trunks were sparring early in the morning when I walked in. Goten was sitting off to the side watching in wonder silently as they moved quickly around the room throwing punches at each other barely touching each other. It wasn't that they were bad, but because they were very good. Well I walked in and sat next to Goten, whose eyes were large with wonder. Finally, Artemis fell to the ground. Somewhat gasping for breath, trying to get out from underneath Trunks. Trunks pinned her down. "We're done now. Stop moving and except your defeat."
I watched as they continued this for 5 more minutes. "Trunks, get off of her." I sighed.
Artemis and Trunks looked up at me. "So, uh. Bulma" Artemis smiled. "How long have you been watching."
Raising my eyebrow curisously, I grumble. "Ovbiously not long enough." Trunks got up and helped Artemis up with much seeming regret.
"So what is it Bulma?" Artemis asked me. Trunks nodded and Goten looked at me with his large eyes.
"First of all, I'm wondering WHY you guys are sparring together."
Artemis looked down; her face was hot with anger. Trunks looked up, tying to ignore all eye contact with me. "Alright, and I was also going to say something very important. And it's going to take a lot of preparing."
Artemis moved closer and sat down next to Goten. Trunks remained standing.
"Trunks, you're going to the past."
Artemis looked at me angry. "What?"
"Huh?" Trunks said surprised.
I looked at Goten. He just continued staring at me with his wide buggy eyes.
"I don't want to live here, you both know I was planning this for years. The time machine is finally ready, and you want to come?" I sighed. "We need to get you to the past."
"What would that do? Gohan, tou, okaa, and your husband won't come back to life. Goten won't be normal. Why bother?"
I nodded. "Alter-dimensions, Trunks are you going or not?" Trunks nodded.
Artemis glared at Trunks, and walked out of the room angrily.
* * * * * *
He walked around his room thinking. What was she so upset about now? Not that it mattered, but really. How long would this take? Hopefully not long. There's no way Artemis could handle the androids on her own. He sighed and walked over to his bed and lay down. This wasn't going to be fun. Sure he would see his dad but everyone else. this would be hard. What would he say?
* * * * * *
Artemis watched Bulma play with switches on the time machine. She stared at Bulma. She seemed upset about something. Bulma looked over to her wondering and Artemis stood up, pushed her braid out of her face and left.
Trunks walked in. Bulma looked at him, "Is something bothering Artemis?" He shrugged and slung his sheathed sword over his shoulder and locked it into place.
"Okaa, I'm ready to go." He said smiling nervously.
She smiled hugged him goodbye, and handed him a bottle of pills. "Give these to Goku only. Tell him about the androids. And," She stopped to wipe a tear from her eye. "Remember everything I told you about the past. And come home as soon as you can."
He nodded. "Take care. And help Artemis with the androids if they come. I'll be home soon though." She hugged him and said bye; she showed him how to work the machine and sent him on his way.
Trunks got in and fixed his destination. And waved goodbye to his mother.
As he reached the point in the sky where he could barely see him mother any more, he saw Artemis and Goten walked out. He could make out Artemis' pale face look up, and then she walked away.
There was a flash around him, and they were gone.
* * * * * *
Artemis smiled. "I guess Bulma, but do you really think I could do it alone?"
I nodded. "Of course! It only seems right!" Artemis seemed to brighten, then her face returned to the normal dark expression. "You're the daughter of Goku! The first out of the last full Sayia-Jins to go Super Sayia-Jin!"
She looked down nervously, like normal. "I donno, it would call a bit of attention. Something we really don't need."
Bulma sighed. "Think about it this way, you're 17 years old, and you could turn Super Sayia-Jin. I tihnk you could do it!"
"Trunks can't do it. It wouldn't be smart."
I smiled, "He can, he's just been keeping it to himself."
"Figures," Artemis snorted as she took a bite of her food.
I looked up from my food wondering. "What was that?"
"Nothing!" she began muttering under her breath until Goten gave her a questioning look. "Goten, you wanna come try and train with me?"
I quickly stopped her, telling her that Goten had been busy all day help me type up reports.
* * * * * *
Trunks came home a week after, he didn't say much about it, except that he got to have a quick fight with Goku. But he did ask one thing.
To go back as soon as possible, with the ability to stay longer.

Authors End Note:
You may be wondering why I didn't talk much about Trunks going to the past the first time. Well honestly I don't want this story to be boring. And I know it is boring in this chapter, so I didn't want to drag on the boredom. Next chapter will be longer! I promise, and they'll go to the past once more. And that will be the faze out from the future in Bulma's view. I know it was kinda hard to follow, but now it's going to be in Trunks and Artmeis view, and maybe even Gohan a few times. Well We might even go into Goten as well! It'll be fun! See you then! TA!
