AN: So here's the deal with this story- I seriously wasn't going to start another long one. I figured, I'd work on my sis's idea that she wanted me to do and finish a few one shots and post them. But then Shanchan just HAS to give me this EXTREMELY good idea and it was one of those ideas that you really want to do but don't know how to make it work.. And spent a LOT of time trying to figure it out ^^; And this is the solution- an extremely weird, twisted story that I'm having an extremely fun time writing ^^;

"Come on Trunks!" Goten tugged on his friend's arm.
Trunks frowned at the younger boy, pulling at his beige messenger bag, "Goten- you know how my mom is with school- she's going to get pissed again. Can't you show me this on the weekend?"
"No," Goten shook his head profusely. "Come ON Trunks! It'll only take a few minutes. I just want you to see it- I know it'll be worth it! It's even better then the time where you found that snake hole!"
Trunks sighed, unable to refuse Goten's excited face. That and the prospect of see something cooler then that giant snake. "Fine. But only for a minute Goten."
"Yay!" Goten grinned, and Trunks couldn't help but shake his head in amusement at his antics. "Come on! It's this way!"
Trunks allowed the younger boy to pull him up a rather rocky hill to a small hole. But stopped, not about to move any closer. "Goten- I can't fit through that hole! I'm too big."
"Nuh-uh!" Goten shook his head, tugging the boys arm now insistently. "Come on Trunks- if I can fit you can."
"Goten- you're skinnier then me," Trunks growled and Goten blinked up at the older boy. "Fine..I'll try."
Goten's face lit up, and he grinned happily. "It's so cool!"
"What?" Trunks looked at his friend in confusion, but the other boy was already scampering through the hole. Shaking his head, he dropped his bag and attempted to follow the other boy, cursing the fact that he had forgotten how much nimbler Goten was.
Grunting with effort, Trunks tried to pull himself along the small tunnel, trying not to think of how ridiculous he must look. It only took a few minutes until the space began to widen, and then only a few more until he could stand up fully. The tunnel opened to a small chamber, and Trunks joined the other boy, who was peering intently at a wall.
"What did you want to show me?" Trunks asked, peering around, but not really able to see anything out of place. It was just..a well cavern- rocks, rocks, and more rocks. Not much else. Of course this whole setting was incredibly cool- he could think of a few things they could make out of this place- definitely was a good find. But he couldn't figure out what Goten had been talking about before- the snake was ten times better.
"It's not here anymore," Goten said softly. Did Trunks detect FEAR in the younger boys voice? Strange. Very strange. The other boy went over to touch the wall cautiously before turning back to Trunks, "There was a symbol here before!"
"A symbol?" Trunks repeated, wondering if his friend was suffering from home schooling more then he initially thought. "Goten- it couldn't have just moved. You must have been mistaken."
"No!" He shook his head vehemently, and whined. "There was definitely something on this wall Trunks! And now it's gone! I wanted to see if you knew what it was, but now you won't be able to see it.."
"Goten-kun," Trunks placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Did Chi Chi- san make you study today?"
He shook his head, pouting.
"When's the last time you had food?" Trunks asked, searching for any possible explanation for why this young boy could be hallucinating. There were many. "Goten-kun.."
"I wasn't hallucinating Trunks!" Goten shrugged his concerned friend off and swirled towards another tunnel that Trunks hadn't seen before. "It must've been further on..I could have sworn it was in this chamber though."
"Goten," Trunks said warningly. "I really have to go- Mom's going to be pissed as it is."
"It's not that far Trunks," Goten whined at his friend. "You can blame it on me- say I got in trouble with a Dinosaur or something."
"Goten-kun?" Trunks asked questioningly. Blame it on a Dinosaur? What kind of garbage is that?! Of course his mother wouldn't believe that! And not only that but Goten knew perfectly well that he could more then handle any dangers this world possessed ten times over! "Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm sorry Trunks- just one more chamber over, PLEASE?" Goten said, and Trunks was unable to resist the look on his face.
"Fine, but then I really have to go home," Trunks frowned.
Goten smirked, "Follow me then..Trunks-chan."
Something about both that tone and look alerted Trunks that something odd was definitely underfoot, but he shrugged it off and somehow managed to follow the younger boy into the slightly smaller hole. He didn't know how much more of this he could take.
"Goten- it's really dark up there, are you sure we'll be able to see?" Trunks asked, knowing that he was being extremely stupid. If they needed light they'd just transform into Super Saiyans. Then they'd have more light then they could ever possibly need.
"We'll be able to see just fine Trunks-chan," He called back- did Trunks hear amusement in that voice? What was going on? More importantly- what happened to his Goten-kun?
He gritted his teeth, and decided that he'd better demand an explanation from the boy as soon as he could stand up and ask face to face. But then the slight shifting of rocks alerted him to an even closer danger. "Goten- what was that?"
"What was what?"
"You didn't hear that?" Trunks asked incredulously. "It sounds like the rocks behind us are moving- what if they close off the entrance or something?"
"They won't," Goten easily reassured him, but again Trunks had his ever growing doubts. "You can't turn around in these tunnels anyway."
Trunks blinked, and then realized with a sinking heart that the younger boy was right. Even if he seemed out of character right now, he had actually made sense. This tunnel was too small width as well as height- he'd get stuck mid way at best- the only way to head back now was to go backwards and that was ten times harder then going forwards. Which meant it was easier to just continue to follow Goten and hope for the best.
And if things got too tough he could always blast his way out..the only problem with that being even if he somehow managed to get himself out in time he'd bury Goten here. And who knew how far underground they were now anyway? Even as a Super Saiyan he didn't think he could make it.
"This isn't good," he mused aloud.
"We're almost there," Goten's voice calmed him from up ahead.
"You're acting really weird Goten- are you sure you're alright?" Trunks asked, not able to resist. They were going deeper into down and the shifting of rocks seemed to be getting closer. And..was that water that he was hearing? Definitely not good. Especially since Goten had yet to answer that last question. "Have you explored all of these tunnels Goten-kun? Weren't you afraid?"
"Yes and not at all."
"But you always get scared," Trunks frowned. "You were afraid of my dad's hair once..remember that?"
But instead of the usual fit of bubbly laughter that normally came from Goten after that comment- considering what Trunks had DONE to his father's hair to show the younger boy that there was nothing to be afraid of.. It's not like he KNEW that it'd never grow back- the other boy was silent.
Trunks decided to try one more test until he became extremely frightened, "HOLY SHIT LOOK OUT GOTEN YOUR MOM'S COMING AFTER US!"
"Don't yell," was the only answer that he received. Now Trunks heart was pounding, and he tried desperately not to panic. Attempting to back up slowly, he yelped in surprise when he only managed to kick something extremely hard. "Don't bother. Those rocks you heard- they blocked off your only escape. There's only one way to go Trunks..kun."
"Goten?" Trunks asked. "Why are you doing this? What's going on?"
"I thought you figured it out?" There was callous laughter in his voice. Trunks heard a rustling, and then all of a sudden he felt cold hard hands clasp onto him and pull him towards..whatever it was. He froze, not able to move, and felt himself fall to the cold damp floor. "Get up little boy. Don't be worried- you're going to join your friend now."
Against his better judgment, Trunks slowly stood up, fury boiling beneath his skin, and couldn't help it- he took a step back. What had once looked like Goten had transformed into an extremely ugly serpent-like creature. He was greenish-blue and massive- large scaled flaking off of him, like dried bark on a tree. He had two large human-like arms, that were extremely hairy as well as dirty. Dried blood caked the crusty exterior of his nails, and he shuddered, thinking what this creature had done to his friend.
And as his heart began to beat more slowly in his chest, he grew bold enough to look up and promptly wished he hadn't. He had expected a snake face or some other monster. What he hadn't expected was a smooth faced, blue-eyed young boy's, which smirked at him, bearing razor teeth and a two pronged tongue.
"Who-what are you?" Trunks asked in a horrified awe.
The creature smiled, and then spoke in it's own voice, "I am what your family has created."
"What are you talking about?" Trunks asked, extremely confused.
"It doesn't matter boy," He smiled. "You'll soon know. When the time is right. You'll all know. For now- you shall be content with joining your friend. And no- his blood was not spilled by my hands. Yet."
Trunks trembled in fear as a broad arm reached out and grasped him easily by the skull. He frowned defiantly up into the..things face, "My dad will kill you."
He laughed. "If he can find me. To them you're missing. Gone without a trace. Someday they'll give up searching for you and then I'll be free to do whatever I want."

So what do you think? Should I continue or should I leave my insane idea (well not really techniquely mine ^^;) to myself? Like..most of my insane ideas;;;? *stares* Yup..I'm insane. Just review damn you people!!!!
