"Whispers of the Willow"
Hey guys, I know I've been away for a while, but Christmas is over so I have more time, 'cause it's the holidays (no school, yesssssss!) so I'll be updating faster. Anyway, how do you like my new fic so far? I know I have another great fic in progress, but I was afraid that if I didn't start this now, I might lose the idea. Don't worry though, I have both of these fics on my number one priority list. Anyway, tell me what you think! Lovies ^o^.

Chapter 2: Back Stabbers.
Trunks awoke drenched in sweat as usual. His dream was becoming more violent and real to him. He was glad it was the holidays, because he didn't think he could handle a class right now. He began to shiver as he recalled the dream; it had been so real to him. He got out of bed and decided to take a shower to wash the sweat off his body.
Trunks walked up to the bathroom door, which was currently closed.
"Goten, are you in there?" Trunks asked groggily.
"I'll be out in a minute." Goten's muffled voice responded.
Goten emerged from the now steamed bathroom and looked at Trunks, with a stupefied expression.
"You look like a drowned rat, did you have the dream again?" Goten asked his roommate.
"Yeah, and this time I saw more." Trunks said.
"Tell me how it goes again?" Goten asked while drying out his ears to better hear Trunks.
"Again? Honestly Goten, it's like you never remember a word I say." Trunks said irritated at his best friends capability to comprehend anything, that or lack there of it. "Ok, well it starts out in our history classroom. You, me, Bra, Pan, and Marron are all sitting around an enormous table. And then suddenly I'm transported to my father's side the night he died." Trunks paused, trying to recall the rest of the dream.
"Uh huh, and then what?" Goten asked full of excitement as though he was a little boy at story time at the library.
"Why do you sound so excited, it's supposed to be a night mare for me?" Trunks asked as he once again mentally asked himself why he put up with Goten. "Oh well, anyway, instead of my mom being at my dad's side, it's this strange lady. She has this weird seductive voice that kinda calls out to me. All of the sudden she bites my father's arm and begins to laugh. I get so mad at her for biting my father on his deathbed, that I rush at her. Then when I reach her, she bites me too, and that's usually where it stops, but I saw more last night." Trunks said sounding rather confused.
"Well, what did you see? What does the lady look like? Is it someone we know? My mom once told me that dreams are a way for the dead to communicate with us. Maybe your dad is trying to tell you something, maybe how he really died?" Goten exclaimed.
"Wow, Goten. I've never heard you make so much sense." Trunks commented, suddenly realizing why he had Goten as a friend, it was because of his constant optimism that attracted Trunks to Goten. (As a friend, not a lover. Just thought I'd clear that up before Trunks goes on) "Anyway, I don't know what the lady looks like, she's always dressed in this hooded cloak, and the only reason I know it's a lady is because of her voice. The rest of the dream I saw was me getting transported to Planet Vegeta, when my dad was just a little kid. The same weird lady is there and she bites him again, and that's where I woke up." Trunks said looking rather confused.
"Well, I don't know if it means anything, but in case it does, then we should be on the lookout. Well, actually you should, unless I'm in the dream too, oh wait; I am in the dream, at the very beginning. But I don't get hurt, do I?" Goten asked worriedly.
"No, Goten, you don't get hurt in the dream." Trunks said with an exasperated tone. "Don't you think I should be a little more worried than you? I mean she does bight me too. Wait, why would I be worried? It's not like your little theory about the dead talking to us through our dreams is actually true. I'm sure the dream is just my crazy imagination getting the better of me." Trunks said trying to convince himself, rather than Goten.
Trunks had always known that his father hadn't died of natural causes, and he only shared his thoughts and concerns about that with Goten. He and Goten had been friends since they were born, Vegeta had been like a father to Goten and Goku had been like a father to Trunks as well. So Goten had shared a great loss when Vegeta had died too.
There was a knock on the door and Pan came running in.
"Trunks, how could you? I can't believe you did this to me. You are such a back stabber. I thought you loved me." Pan said all in one breath. There was tears rolling down her cheeks as she awaited Trunks' answer.
"What are you talking about?" Trunks asked bewildered.
"Don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about! I saw that e-mail you sent to Marron." Pan said, and when Trunks got an even more confused look on his face, Pan explained. "It said something about how good it had been last night. It said how you wanted her more than me, and how she was so much better in bed than me."
Trunks looked bewildered at Pan as the flow of tears on her soft cheeks increased. Trunks wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know why she was so upset, he didn't remember e-mailing Marron. Trunks mentally slapped himself, of course, this was another silly attempt from Marron to break the two of them up.
"Pan, you know Marron and you know me. You know I would never send such a thing like that. You know how Marron's acted in the past and about her silly crushes on me or Goten, whichever one of us she thinks it would be easier to seduce. After getting the facts straight, now call me a liar, now call me a back stabber." Trunks said calmly.
Trunks could tell that there was a battle raging inside of Pan right now, he could tell that she wanted to believe him, but what if he was lying? Pan came to a conclusion and flung herself into Trunks' arms.
When had she gotten so over protective of Trunks? She had never felt so stupid. She stayed in Trunks' arms until Goten pried them apart saying that the police were at the door.
"What do they want?" Trunks said through Pan's hair.
"They say they're here to arrest you for murder." Goten said looking at Trunks.
