A hidden warrior: Generation One

Trunks was making breakfast when the girl got out of the shower with only a towel on her head and a towel around her body, he could see the curves that her sweatshirt and jeans thourgholy hid. He could have just stood there for all time, looking at her if it was his choice, he told her where to find some cloths when she asked if she could barrow them, after she had gone into dress, he finished a breakfast consisting of four plates of French toast, two plates of pancakes, a large plate of sausage, some eggrolls and a pitcher of orange juice, and he wasn't even close to done. When the black haired girl came out, she was wearing a black tank and some black sweats, all rolled up to make them smaller, the shirt was pulled tight across her chest and waste by knots in the back and at the shoulders, once again Trunks felt himself redden.

Caryn was starving when she got out of the shower, the food was a very welcome site, she sat down at the table and waited politely for the pail haired youth to sit down across from her, when he did, they both started to shovel food into there mouths. Caryn had always been able to eat way more than anyone else in her family except for her father her mother always told her, Caryn had a different father than her sister and brother, that's where she supposes she got her green eyes. As Caryn and the pale haired youth slowed their eating, Caryn asked the youth a question that she was surprised she hadn't asked earlier, "Whats your name anyway?" once again that sense of familiarity sprung up insider her, "Trunks, and yours is?" this answer made Caryn choke on the piece of sausage she had been chewing, when she finally cleared her wind pipe she asked in a breathless voice, "Your kidding right?" The youth gave her a strange look then said, "No, why do you think I'm kidding." Caryn ignored the sharpness of his voice, "Is your mothers name Bulma?" Caryn braced herself for the answer saying over and over again in her head, Its just a cartoon, It's just a cartoon," Trunks eyes lit up, "yes, my mother is Bulma, do you know her? Do you know where she is?" Caryn started taking deep even breaths, trying to control her heart beat, which was beating against her chest so hard she swear it was going to crack a rib, finally, her vision started blacking out, she felt herself falling, then she blacked out.

Trunks saw the girl black out, he caught her before she could fall and hit the floor, he gently laid her down on the couch and tried to wake her up. He wondered why she blacked out after he said his mother was Bulma. He was partially confused and partially worried about it. As the girl woke up and looked at him he asked her what her name was, "Caryn, Caryn Lee" she answered dazedly.

"You can't be Trunks, he's just a character on a cartoon show, he's not real," Caryn said this more to herself than to Trunks, "What are you talking about? How did you know my mother was Bulma." Trunks asked looking very confused and a little wary. "You are not Trunks, Trunks is a fictional character, he's not real!" Caryn yelled at him in panic. He yelled right back, "Of course I'm real, how can I prove to you that I am Trunks Brief?" Caryn took a deep breath to calm herself, she finally figured it out, he was probably one of those phsyco fans who made himself believe he was Trunks, she grinned at him, "If you really are the real Trunks, fly?" She told him that, unsure of what the answer would be, the fake Trunks looked at her confusedly, "Ok" with that, he stood up and levitated a couple of inches off the ground, causing the carpet flatten as if being blown by a fan.
Caryn was speechless; she just sat there, eyes popping, and jaw hanging. Trunks grinned at her reaction, then remembered what she had said about him not being real. "Now do you believe that I'm the real trunks?" Trunks asked her seriously, she nodded, then a mischievous glow came to her eyes, a slow grin spread across her face. "I bet you're wondering how I knew your mom was named Bulma, huh?" she asked slyly, "Yah, that is on my top ten questions to ask you as soon as you stop passing out at everything that shocks you" trunks replied with a wide grin. "Hey, don't make fun of me, if you knew what I know, you'd be shocked too," Caryn laughed whiled punching him in the arm, she was surprised at how hard it was, for one instant their eyes locked, her bright green ones transfixed on his ice blue ones, as they came closer, Caryn was now close enough to feel his breath on her cheek. There lips met, the kiss was light and sweet, Trunks wrapped his hands around her waist gently and brought her against his chest, the kiss deepened, Caryn wrapped her arms around Trunks neck, it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Trunks hands started moving on their own accord, he ran his hands through her silky ebony hair as their kiss deepened, so did their passion, Trunks laid Caryn on the bed while exploring her perfect body with his hands and first kissing her cheek then nibbling on her ear lobe, she moaned quietly while exploring his exquisite body, memorizing it. Trunks was kissing her neck and moving down her shoulder when the phone rang loudly.

Trunks reluctantly stopped kissing her and stood up and got the phone, it was a telemarketer, he turned around after hanging up rudely on the salesman to see Caryn gathering up her things and putting on her shoes. Trunks went an grabbed one of his smaller jackets that he had bought with his weekly salary. He gently put it on her, tugging it strait. She smiled at him weekly, her eyes full of longing, just as he knew his were. "Don't go and try to get yourself killed again, I don't know if I'll be around to scare him off next time." He said with a loving smile. "I don't go out looking for trouble, trouble comes to me" Caryn said with a wry smile. Trunks gave her one last long passionate kiss before she walked out the door and down the street to the bus stop. After she was out of]

Sight, he leaned against the door, sighing heavily, before going to take a cold shower.

Caryn hurried to the bus stop, her heart was beating heavily, her breathing was heavy and her face was flushed. When she got on the bus she remembered that she hadn't been home all night, her mom would be frantic, she hurriedly took out her cell phone and called Kimmy, "Hello," Kimmy answered in a cheery voice, "Hey Kimmy, has my mom called you lately?" Caryn asked in an anxious voice, Kimmy replied in a slightly worried voice, "No why do you want to know?" Caryn let out a relieved sigh, "Ok, if she calls tell her I spent the night at your house, and that I'm in the shower, make sure you tell your mom too" Caryn said this because her stop was coming up, "I'll tell you every thing later Ok, bye." Caryn hung up and got off the bus to head towards Kimmy's house.

As Caryn knocked on Kimmy's front door, she was once again set back by the extravagance on the place, it was huge It was a new house that was built about two years ago, it had 10 bedrooms, and a both for every one. It was large and a ash gray, just like all the other huge houses on Kimmy's block. Caryn herd thumps and curses that were Kimmy coming down the stairs that led to the door, the door swung open to reveal a red faced and breathing hard Kimmy. "I'm dying to know where you've been all night, or should I say who were you with all night," Kimmy said with a giggle while leading Caryn up stairs to her upstairs bedroom. The room was decorated in green, and not just any green, bright green, her bed was green, her curtains were green, even her floor was green. Kimmy got the idea after watching the move 'Dr.Doolittle 2'. She thought the green room at the end was sooo cool, so she made her mom le her do all this stuff to her room. Caryn sat down in one of the many green beanbag chairs that were situated around Kimmy's room. Kimmy plomped down on the bed and looked at Caryn anxiously, when Caryn just looked at her Kimmy rolled her eyes in exasperation "sooo, who was it, tell me everything, I've got lots of time." Kimmy said with a rueful grin. Caryn laughed at her and started at the beginning, Kimmy quirked her eyebrow when Caryn told her about the fight between her and Trent. She was really shocked when Caryn told her who had rescued her, Caryn just left out the kiss that had taken place before she left, she also left out that Trunks was a cartoon character that was in the wrong world. Kimmy slightly deflated when she figured out that Caryn hadn't slept with Trunks, "You let a hotty like that walk away unscathed? I can't believe you, so if you don't want him, can I have him?" Kimmy said with a laugh, while ducking the bright green flying object that was thrown at her.

When Caryn got home, her mom gave her the 'You've got to be more responsible' lecture. Kimmy, having memorized it already, twiddled her thumbs and waited patiently for it to end, with a 'go to your room and think about what you've done wrong' thrown at her, Caryn didn't object to her mothers wishes. When Kimmy got to her room, she picked up her stereo and headed to the bathroom, she didn't need a shower, she just needed to relax. As she got dressed she caught the reflection of her back in the mirror, and stared at the small circular scar that was at the base of her back, her mother had always told her she had got it as a baby when she had a birth mark removed, but now Caryn started thinking otherwise, while she turned the shower on as hot as it could go, a million questions ran through her head.

Why do I have green eyes when everybody else in my family has brown?

Who was my father?

Where did I really get that scar?

Questions like these ran through her head a million times over, by the time she got out of the shower, her mother was stomping furiously on the ceiling to make her get out. "Ok, Ok! I'm out already, you can stop your damned stomping!" Caryn yelled at the ceiling. She wrapped her hair in a towel, then herself as well. She walked down the hall to see her sister making out with her dumb ass boyfriend again. She ignored them, and went into her room, she shut the door and locked it, making sure she got no unwanted guests walking in on her dressing, that happened quite often in her house. She sat down on her leopard spotted bed and put her head in her hands, she finally made up her mind to ask her mom, and to make sure she got the whole truth, she was sick of living in a world of lies. After she got dressed, she went up stairs with a determined gleam in her eyes. She found her mother in her usual spot at the kitchen table doing her Wuzzles. Her mother looked up when she walked into the kitchen, smiled at her happily, already forgotten the lecture she had given Caryn earlier, then went back to her Wuzzles. "mom?" Caryn said in a determined voice, "I need to talk to you," her mother looked at her confusedly, "what about sweetie?" her mom asked, her voice full of concern at the look in Caryn's eyes. "I want you to tell me the truth about my dad." Caryn made it as a statement, not a question. "What about him honey?" her mother asked, starting to get suspicious of Caryn's intentions. "I want to know how he died first off." Caryn said in a 'and please don't lie to me' voice. "Well, he died in a fire like I've told you before," Caryn's mother said it in a confused voice, peering at Caryn carefully. "Mom. Please don't lie to me." Caryn said in a pained voice. Her mother sighed heavily, "Well I guess theirs no way to get around it, your father did not die in a fire, to tell the truth, he died in a fight." Caryn's mom slumped her shoulders and closed her eyes. "We're not talking about some bar fight that got out hand, huh" Caryn said wanting to slump her shoulders like her mother was doing now, "No, he died in a serious martial arts fight, and it was a fight he couldn't win either. Now is that all you wanted to know honey?" her mother asked with pain filled eyes that were begging her not to ask more. Caryn looked away from those eyes and asked her next question, "What was my father, and I'm not talking about 'well he was a good man, stuff, I want to know what he was, where was he from?" This question shocked her mother, who was clearly not expecting it. "well he was human of course" her mom said in an unsettled voice, "mom, I know that's not true, what was he?" Caryn said in a stern voice "I told.." "Mom." "He was hu.." "mom!" "He was……" "MOM!" Caryn's mother sighed heavily once again, "Ok, but don't freak out, I know you wont believe me, your father was a Sayin warrior." Her mom said this while slouching even lower in her chair, Caryn startled her strait by saying, " thought so." And walking out the door.

As Caryn walked down the street, she was aware of everything around her. She was especially aware of Trent silently following her , she just strolled along and acted like she was going to Kimmy's house, when she got there she abruptly broke out into a run, as fast as she could go, she ran down the street at close to 50mph. She took a couple of sharp turns to make sure she lost Trent, then she headed off at a steady pace towards Trunks small apartment. When she was about a mile away from Trunks place, she was walking through a small grove of trees, to make the trip shorter when she heard a crunch of boots behind her, she spun around to meet her attacker, to find nobody there. As she turned around, she practically stepped into the punch that hit her square in the nose, she crashed through the tree that was behind her to land n the ground about ten feet away. She sat there a minute before opening her eyes to see Trent walking toward her with a crazy gleam in his eyes. On instinct, she got up quickly and braced herself for the next attack. He charged at her and hit her hard in the stomach, the breath went out of her, and she fell to her knees gasping for air, Trent hit her in the back of the head, and she flew to the ground. She painfully got up to face him, he had his hand up, palm facing her. She immediately crossed her arms across her chest, braced her feet, and ducked her head behind her arms, when the blast hit her, it was like being strapped to an electric fence, she fought for her life against the pain.

Trunks was watching T.V when he heard two small knocks on his door, after a minute, he heard it again. He walked over and opened it to find Caryn, blood covering her entire body, there were burns and cuts from her head to her toes, the ends of her hair were singed off, Trunks knew immediately that all this damage had been caused by a ki blast, and a pretty powerful one too, it was a wonder she wasn't killed by it. Trunks caught Caryn as she collapsed, in a bloody heap in his arms. Trunks gently washed her and dressed her wounds, he trimmed off her singed hair, it was now just below the tops of her ears.

When Caryn woke up she immediately recognized Trunks apartment. She tried to call his name, but her throat was as dry as paper, and all that came out was a rough croak. After building up some spit, then swallowing it, she was able to whisper Trunks name. He came to her side immediately, when she saw him, she tried to smile, but hurt too much. Trunks eyes were filled with concern, and his voice was thick with it, "Who did this to you Caryn, whoever did this I'll make them pay, I promise." Caryn shook her head at this promise No, I want to beat him myself, let me have my revenge." Caryn's voice was barely a whisper, but underneath was hatred and rage at what had happened. "But, you don't even know how to fight, how are supposed to beat this guy?" Trunks asked confused. "You have to teach me, teach me everything, nomadder how long it takes, please Trunks, please teach me?" Caryn asked, her voice raspy, but a pleading look in her eyes. "But what about your family?" Trunks asked, knowing she had already made up her mind. "I'll leave them a note, telling them I'll be alright." Caryn whispered in a pained voice. Trunks hesitated before answering her question, "Well, I guess, but first you must get well. Trunks flew Caryn home after she had rested for awhile, and she had some of her strength back, then he decided to keep watch over her house, until she was ready to leave.

Caryn stayed home for a week after she was in the fight, she spent most of her time with her friends, and her mother, knowing they would take her leaving the hardest, when she was healthy and not wincing every time she took a step before she went outside one night and beckoned the person that had been watching her family for a week, Trunks glided down from the tree he had been sitting in, he caught her eyes with his and took her hands, "are you sure you want to do this?" Caryn took one last look at her sleeping household, then turned back to Trunks "yes, I left a note for each of my family, telling them that I was all right, and that I would be back when I was done with a certain task, I'm sure my sister and brother will be clueless about what I'm doing, but I think my mom will have a guess what I'm up to though."Caryn ducked her head going on in a lighter voice, "anyway, we better get going, before someone wakes up and sees us." Just at that moment, Trunks looked like he wanted to kiss her, but she turned away before she could get trapped in those beautiful blue eyes. Trunks silently waited for her to climb on his back before shooting off into the night.
