Under the Cherry Blossom Tree- Chapter 2- Conflicts

Marron looked over her shoulder in tears. She rested her hands on her cold bedroom window staring at her bedroom door.

All the things she said
All the things she said....

It was unkind. Her own mother, so unkind. Juuhachi-gou, skeptical of the way Marron and Bra acted around each other forbid Marron from seeing Bra for a week. She wanted to keep them apart so they weren't tempted to experiment. If only she knew. The girls had been together for months and were falling more in love each day. Marron no longer came over seeking Trunks, nor did she ask for him anymore. Nor did she care. Goten was suddenly dropped from Bra's care as well, and everyone was a little curious, but no one except 18 said anything outloud.

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough....

Marron thought back to her mother and her's fight. She shoved the window open and without another thought, other than love, she jumped out. Running through the night, running through life, running for love. She had to find Bra. She needed to be held, she needed to be reassured that they were okay and what they were doing was right.
Bra stirred in her sleep. Marron...marron was running. Bra shot up in bed, She could feel Marrons ki from across town and it was severly high. Marron's ki was energized, what was she doing? She noticed it grow from faint to strong, she was getting closer. She was looking for her. Bra jumped out of bed and ran for her window, just as she started out she heard a voice.

"Where are you going?" Trunks frowned from her doorway.

"I...want some fresh air..." She pulled her leg back in the window. "I was just opening my window.."

"And jumping out? I felt it too, don't play stupid with me. Look if your little friend is going to run around town at night she can do it alone. I want you to stay away from her for awhile...I think she's a bad influence on you..." Trunks muttered quietly, yet sternly.

"Trunks..." Bra was confused, "How is she a bad influence on me? Look at me and her, I'm the bad influence on her!" She tried to keep her voice and ki in check so her father wouldn't wake.

"Bra...you know what I'm talking about.." He glared at her sternly. "Marron isn't asking about me anymore...now all she asks about is you...I want you to stay away from her for awhile to fade any feelings she might have for you."

Bra was astonished. What was Trunks saying. How could he say that? She looked down. This wasn't working, no one knowing.. They had to tell. It would be easier on them and their 4 month relationship to bring it out in public. It was this moment Bra realized that a closet relationship was destined to fail. Her family didn't even know about it and they were determined to stop it.
Bra knew she couldn't leave for Marron. Trunks would watch her ki. Her brother was severely homophobic, she knew that.

'I wish you understood how i feel about her...' she thought as she went back to bed. 'Marron..I'm sorry...I tried...'
Marron made it half way to Bra's house before a cop saw her and arrested her for curfiew. He took her home and she was sentanced to doing community service, no big deal, would be easy for her. But what made Bra
feel bad was if she would have met her halfway they could have left public view and she would never have to lift her finger.

"Marron, I'm sorry, I felt you, but just as I was leaving Trunks caught me..." Bra worked up the courage to tell Marron her idea.
"I'm sorry...the reason I was going was my mother wants to ban me from you. She thinks we're too friendly, if you know what I mean, and that you're going to be sexually, a bad influence on me..." Marron sighed, almost cried.
"...Do you regret me?" Bra asked quietly into the reciever of her black phone.
A pause.
"No. I don't regret you, and I don't regret us. I love you...I regret my family for not understanding.." Marron choice her words carefully, not wanting to offend her younger friend.
"Listen..I've got an idea," Bra's smile was returned, reassured that her love wasn't ready to leave her.

Bra told Marron how Trunks accused the same thing, and that she wanted to bring their relationship out in the open. Marron was hesitant, but put her faith in Bra.

"Maybe it'll wake them up and make them realize this kind of shit happens sometimes..."

"Bra.."

"Yes?"

"I love you.."

Bra smiled, but it quickly faded as Trunks walked in and questioned who was on the line.

"It's Marron.." She said almost sheepishly. Her heart fell inside her as Trunks glared at her. He didn't even know yet and he was hating her for it. Her eyes leaked uncontrollably. Marron comforted her as best as possible, but what words could she offer to mend her lovers heart?
Vegeta walked into the living room. He gasped, "What are all you fools doing in my house?!" as he stared down on Goku and Gohan chatting with Goten at their side, Pan gawking over Trunks, his lovely wife trying to keep things in order, Chi Chi reading a book, and 18 and Krillen sitting on the couch chatting.

"We don't know..." Bulma said, shrugging. "We all got the same secret letter to meet here..."

Vegeta huffed, "I must have missed it..."

Bra walked down the hall and through the kitchen towards the living room when she froze. Her sudden stop caused Marron to run into her. "What?"

"Papa's here..." her eyes got wide.

"I thought we wanted everyone here?" Marron questioned with an affection grip on Bra's hand.

"I did..but..I'm so scared of his reaction..."

Marron put her lips on Bra's. The soft kisses, no tounge, no making out, no fondling...holding hands and that slow kiss brought love to wake. Bra found her courage, and both wearing identical blue jeans and baby blue t-shirts walked into the living room.

Trunks looked up at the two, immediatly uncomfortable with the situation.

Goten tilted his head to the side, "You guys are wearing the same clothes..."

Bra smiled as she looked at her bare feet, "We thought it'd make it easy if we showed some similarity between us..."

Everyone watched them closely. The girls sat there, both frozen with fear. Bra's upfront saiyajin instincts and bravery took a hold of her. She stepped forward and cleared her throat.

"Well...we wanted you all here. We wanted to talk to you. We as in...me and Marron." Marron stepped forward as Bra spoke, and slipped her fingers into Bra's. Everyone noticed this and began to sweat.

"Marron..and I..." Bra stuttered, nervous, "Marron and I are in love. We love you all as well, and wanted to tell you.."

Vegeta stood first. Instantly he attacked Marron. He was always so proud of his daughter until this moment, and he blamed the blond girl. His knuckles colided with her jaw, and instant bruising, followed by blood. Bra gasped. Her hair flared up gold and Vegeta hit the ground...ten feet away. Bra stood infront of Marron as Marron cried, holding her sore face. Vegeta lunged again, deaf to everyone elses cries. They couldn't here what the rest of their family and friends were saying, they were in a fight of family, of pride. They're eyes locked, everyone speaking but they only heard each other.

"Move...I'm going to give her what she deserves.."

"I can't let you hurt her. I love her, Papa, I thought you'd understand..."

"I do...I understand that she needs to die!" With that Vegeta lunged at Marron again. Bra fought him off, getting between the two, but she wasn't enough. Vegeta landed another hit on Marrons upper left arm.
Marron screamed in pain, and Bra screamed in rage. She landed a kick right in her fathers groin, and then her hands interlaced, she slammed them into his face. She came down from SSJ and looked at her mother, Vegeta down for at least 10 minutes.

"Mom..."

Bulma stared at her, still in disbelief, "Bra....you weren't supposed to turn out like this...you were supposed to be my baby girl and marry Goten..."

Goten choked on his food, "I'm staying out of this.."

Bra tried to hug her mom, but Bulma pushed her down. "Bra! This is silly! You're not like this, you're straight! Stop this, end whatever she made you think you felt or else get out of my sight forever!"

Bra sighed. This was useless. She looked at Android 18 and Krillen, both glaring at her. There was no friends here. She stood up, and picked up Marron, who was still crying in pain, and walked out the front door.
