*_*=Song lyrics
The song in this chapter is mine. It is called Believe.
Trunks is a little delirious in this chapter, but don't worry he'll get better.
Ch. 20:Trunks meets Jeri
'Its dark and warm. Did I make it? Or was it all a dream?' The lavender haired youth thought as he began to regain consciousness.
He heard the sound of a guitar playing next to him. He was fully awake now, but didn't open his eyes. He wanted to hear the song. Besides, he thought it was his kassan.
The female sang,
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Oh sheltered hearts
Oh summer day
How can I love you
If you stay away
Oh whispered words
I believe in myself
I believe in my dreams
Things come by only once in every life
Oh Milky Way
So far away
If I could only touch you
Then things would be okay
Oh summer's eve
Oh field of dreams
How did a love like ours
Ever come out this way
I believe in miracles
I believe that times change
But for us things
Will always be the same
Oh treasured love
Oh drowning eyes
Can't you just believe
That we'll be okay
Love can whisper many words
It can be a thousand things
But forever more
It will always be
Two lovers hearts
So far away
Just believe in yourself
And you'll be okay

She softly played the ending on her guitar as the male youth listened intently.
Gathering his strength he said, "Kassan?"
Soft chuckling filled the room.
"No, silly. I'm not your kassan. Open your eyes."
He did and realized he had made it to the past. This was his mother's room. The woman in the room with him looked as young as he did, maybe younger. She had long auburn hair pulled into a low held braid, emerald green eyes, fair skin, and a nice figure. She was wearing a sleeveless black shirt that said star on it in silver glitter, black hip hugger pants, and black boots. Her flat stomach was shown as well. Around her neck was a silver pendent with an ivory dragon on it. She was beautiful, but he didn't know her. His mother had never mentioned this girl. So who was she?
'Maybe she's an angel. Ack! Snap out of it! You're here to deliver the medicine to Goku not gawk at pretty girls.'
He sat up and noticed that the female had a guitar in her arms with the strap across her shoulder. She had been the one singing. He started blushing. He couldn't help it. He had never been in the presence of such a pretty girl before. Then she stood up and sat next to him on the bed.
"How are you feeling?"
He drew his knees up to himself as the last few day's events came crashing down on him.
Swallowing his anguish he said, "I'm fine."
She put her small hand on his bare shoulder and said, "You don't look fine. Is something troubling you?"(AN: His shoulder is bare because he's not wearing his jacket and his shirt is sleeveless.)
He clenched his fists at his sides and tried to keep from crying. He wanted to be left alone to sort out his emotions, but this female wouldn't leave.
He wrapped himself and said, "L-leave me alone. Please, I-I don't want you to be in here."
He felt her shift as she removed her guitar and set it in its case. His ki flared around him in warning. He was nearing a breakdown, but he was trying to prevent it until his companion left. His eyes flashed the blue/green of super saiyan and his ki flared again.
He said, "Go away!"
The female was flung at the wall. Mere inches from impact she stopped herself with a well-placed ki burst. The lavender haired boy was too upset to notice her show of power.
The lavender haired youth broke down. He couldn't stand it anymore. His entire world had crumbled around him. His mother was dead. His friends were dead. There was no one left for him to protect.
Suddenly he was pulled into a warm embrace. A mother's embrace. He felt her rub his back and shoulders as he tried to control the pitiful, keening sobs that racked his body. He was a strong person both physically and emotionally, but without his mother as his lifeline he lost all hope, all reason to keep going.
Even though he knew it would sound lame he said, "I...want...my...kassan..."
The female shifted so that he was looking into her face and said, "Shh... Stay here. I'll go get your kassan."
Then she stood up and left the room.
A thousand alarms went off in his head.
'She knows who I am! I have to get out of here! I...'
His thoughts trailed off as he caught sight of his kassan's past self.
His voice cracked as he said, "Y-you're alive, but I saw you die. I..."
He couldn't take this. He bolted out the door as fast as he could. His eyes darted around, frantically. He was scared out of his mind. He wanted, needed to get out. Then he caught sight of the female from earlier. All of his previous thoughts went to the wind as he started towards her. All he cared about was her comforting presence. He didn't know why, but she made him feel safe like his mom used to before she died. He noticed faintly that she had changed into a sky blue sundress before he dropped to his knees in front of her, grabbed a firm hold of the fabric on the front of the dress, and buried his face into her stomach.
He was shaking violently as he tried to sort everything out. He felt the female lightly put her arms on his shoulders.
She said, "My name is Jeri. What's yours?"
Then to her frazzled mate she telepathically said,: Everything's all right, Vegeta. He's just delirious with fever.:
: That better be the case. Nobody, but me lays hands on you. He's too close to you for my comfort, Jeri.:
: I know, but he's scared and all alone here. I'm a mother, Vegeta, and he's acting like a lost child. I'm going to help him rather you like it or not. Besides, he saved our daughter.:
: Humph. Fine, have it your way, woman.:
She knew who he was and why he was there already, but she had to keep the facade that she didn't up so he wouldn't freak out. He looked up at her and rubbed his red eyes in embarrassment. He slowly stood up revealing to Jeri that he was nothing more than a lost teenager. He was about 6ft6" or so and he appeared to be under fed. He was healthy, but unless he found someone to take care of him until he could take care of himself, he wouldn't be much longer.
She led the confused youth back to his room and made him sit down. Then the entire room shook. (AN: 0_0 What the fuck was that?
He blushed then said, "Gomen, Jeri-chan, but I haven't eaten in a few days.:
Jeri laughed and said, "That was your stomach?"
"Hai."
"It's all right....er...."
"Trunks. My name is Trunks." He supplied.
'He must figure I don't have anything to do with the Special Forces if he's not hiding his identity. I hope he keeps his mouth shut in front of the others. Especially Vegeta and Bulma.' She thought as she pulled out a capsule.
Tossing it to the ground she said, "Here, help yourself."
When the smoke cleared it revealed a buffet table stocked high with various types of food.
Before Jeri could blink Trunks was already shoveling food into his mouth. She started laughing at how much Trunks looked like her mate when he did that.
Whe was finished he plopped back down on the bed and said, "Are you a member of the Z-forces, pry chance?"
Jeri walked over to the chair and sat down. She knew he was watching her every move.
She said, "Hai, I am."
"What is today's date?"
'He knows something's off.'
"March 3."
He sat up.
"What year?"
She told him the year.
"Damn. Damn. Damn."
He was in the past, but not when he needed to be. Freeza and Cold have already come, but everyone is alive and well. The androids should have been destroying things by now, but there was no sigh of them. They seemed to be in peace times, but how could it be? He looked around for his jacket and put it back on.
He thought, 'So she's with the Special Forces. Don't know how she is since I can barely since her power level. I don't know why I told her my name, but for some reason I want her to know. Things here are very wrong. She shouldn't be here. I have to figure out what she knows then I gotta find Goku and give him the medicine.'
He was brought out of his thoughts when Jeri said, "Man! You're broodier than Vegeta! And that's saying something cause he broods allot."
He looked up at her and smiled faintly. He had a feeling he'd end up protecting Jeri in the near future. He knew she had become his lifeline in this world, the only comforting presence he had. He then silently prayed to Kami for her continued safety.
