Haunting Dreams

Trunks sat next to Lareesa as she lay ontop of the table. He was starting to succome to fatigue. It had been nearly 2hrs since the girl had been brought into C.C.

"Damn you little one, what are you going through?" Trunks asked in a frustrated tone, yet his facial features were soft and gentle.

He carefully ran his side palm along her face, brushing away the hazelnut strands of hair. He then knelt closer to her and took her hand in his, as a way to some how reassure her.

Closing his eyes, Trunks mumbled a simple phrase, "I'm here for you."

Shortly after, a beeping sound interrupted Trunks' thoughts and jerked him from his trance. It wasn't the *normal* beeping sound, it was quickened and higher pitched.

"Shit..." Trunks mumbled. He looked down at the teenager. Her eyebrows winced as her body began to jerk slightly.

"It'll be alright..." he said petting her head, "What is making you do this?" he questioned.

***dReAm SeQuAnCe***

Lareesa felt as though she was watching herself from outside her body. She saw herself lying in the abandoned car wreck, looking as if she was out cold. Her eyes strayed to someone who was laughing.

"Awww poor dear." An emotionless voice stated.

Lareesa tried to turn around and see who the voice belonged to, it was some how familiar. Despite her trying, Lareesa couldn't bring herself to turn her head, it was as if something was stopping her from doing so.

"DAMNIT!" Lareesa screamed.

It was then Lareesa saw herself move from inside the car. She warily walked toward herself. She watched as she saw everything that had happened exactly the way it did on that trecherous day. Lareesa was reliving her horrid past. She carefully walked over to the car and put her hand onto the handle, it went right through. Lareesa drew back in fear. She watched her *past* self find out about her mother's position in the car, but before that she saw the glass that was sticking out of her arm. It was then she saw something that she hadn't seen before.

A warm glow surrounded her entire past's self's body. She watched as the purplish mist fixitated itself in one particular spot. That spot was her upper right arm. Lareesa watched as the scar formed and lit up with intensity. She remembered the warm tingly feeling that had occured, but had completely forgotten about it at the time.

"Lareesa...." An eerie yet familiar voice called in an angelic tone.

Lareesa whipped her head around to see her mother's figure floating inches from the ground.

"Mommy?" She questioned.

"Find out the truth..." The figure whispered before fading into the background.

"MOOOOOMMY!" Lareesa screamed as she lunged forward. Hitting someone with her hand she was somehow pushed back down.

Blinking wildly she noticed she was staring into two baby-blue eyes. She looked down to her chest where Trunks' hand lay. Lareesa hung her head in shame. She tried to get up but found herself constricted by the wires and tubing which were attached to her body. She began to rip the mechanical appliances off of her body violently. Struggling under Trunks' heavy grip she broke free after some time. Trunks stood their wide eyed at the girl's tremendous strength, even though he hadn't used his full potential in keeping the girl at bay, he still found it rather surprising just the same that she was able to break free.

"Get off of me and leave me alone." Lareesa said in an angered voice. Her words however betrayed her emotions, for she was crying and still sitting near Trunks on the table; refusing to move.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Oh so many things..." Lareesa replied.

"Like what?" Trunks asked becoming intrigued.

At that exact moment Lareesa felt her arm begin to tingle, she looked at the scar which was emitting a light from it.

"Like that!" Lareesa screamed in anguish. She covered her eyes and began to sob silently, Trunks watched her intently unsure of what to do. He finally decided to put his arm around her shoulder and it just so happened that he touched her right one.....

"Why....its warm...." He trailed off.

"Go on say it I'm a freak, I've been getting it ever since the accident..." Lareesa immediately covered her mouth. Trunks looked at her quizzically."I am such a baka! Why can't I keep my mouth shut?! DAMNIT" she cursed. Lareesa went to get up and walk out of the room when she was stopped by Trunks.

"You're not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on." Trunks commented sternly.

"Awww...look Mirai Trunks is trying to play hero! Well sorry, but I'm not in the mood for twenty questions, or answers." Lareesa said trying to get passed him, her confidence was back evidentally.

"You're not leaving." Trunks stated again.

"Well I hate to burst your bubble mister, but yes I am!" Lareesa said poking him in the chest and emphasizing each word.

Lareesa was finally able to glide passed him and waved good bye.

"Adios!" she said as she was about to exit the room, but Trunks cut her off.

"I'm coming too!" Trunks exclaimed. "We don't need you getting lost again."

Lareesa proceeded to roll her eyes. "Fine fine." she answered.

"Oh and how did you know my name was Trunks?"

"Long story." Lareesa commented.

"Well what's your name?" Trunks asked.

"My name is Lareesa." she commented while walking briskly.

They both walked in the vast complex of C.C. and followed a path outside. Lareesa was walking so that she was ten feet in front of Trunks. He phased out and then phased back in right in front of her. Puting his hand out he stopped her.

"Reason number 215 why Saiya-jins are a pain in my ass." Lareesa mumbled.

"What made you so cold?" Trunks asked, his eyes held concern. His right arm held against her chest to prevent her from moving.

"I told you I wasn't in the mood for twenty questions, now leave me alone. Oh, and a nice position you're in." Lareesa commented.

She looked down at her chest, Trunks' hand was still there. She then looked up to his face and saw he was blushing crimson.

"Don't worry about it, I know you didn't mean it in that way." Lareesa smiled for the first time. 'Crap! don't tell me I'm falling for this guy.' she thought.

Trunks then removed his hand and smiled admirably at her. This was the first hint of kindness she had shown ever since after Piccollo had knocked her out.

"What were you dreaming about before?" Trunks asked.

"How did you know I was dreaming?" Lareesa questioned, her curiousity piqued.

"Well mo--Bulma hooked you up to machine to monitor your brain waves." Trunks answered. He almost called Bulma his mother, well she was in a sense, but now that Chibi Trunks was older he didn't want anything to become confusing. Sighing Trunks tilted his head toward the ground so that his short hair slid as a lilac curtain to cover his eyes. Lareesa was about to place her hand atop his shoulder, but quickly withdrew it after thinking twice.

"Why didn't you stay in your own timeline?" Lareesa asked nonchalantly. Mentally, she began to smack herself after fully realizing what she had just asked.

"Well, after defeating the androids I went ba---" Trunks stopped walking abruptly. "How did you know I came from a different timeline??"

"Ummm....well...." Lareesa stammered. "Let's just leave it as I'm what they call an *intent watcher*."

Trunks looked at her quizzically. "How long did it take you to come up with that one?" he asked, a smirk apparent.

"Ummm....about twenty seconds." she replied smiling.

"Hey not bad." he commented.

Lareesa smiled. Not a smirk, but a real smile. She looked at Trunks and he asked her once more.

"What was that dream about and how do you know who I am?"

"Well," she replied," I know of you becuase in my world you are a cartoon show...funny thing isn't it?"

Trunks placed his arm over her shoulder. "So, that's how you know me?"

"Yea, pretty much." she replied, "And some other stuff, but its not important."

"What about your dream?" Trunks questioned.

"What dream?" Lareesa asked. She didn't really want Trunks to know of her past...and her dream would certainly explain it. She smiled fakely at the prince, playing dum was one of her specialties.

"Come on...that's the oldest trick in the book." Trunks said devilishly, "You have to come up with better reason than that."

"Well, how about I just don't want to discuss it." Lareesa answered smugly.

"Fine." Trunks replied.

"By the way, why didn't you stay in your own timeline?" Lareesa asked again.

"I don't wish to discuss it." Trunks stated solemnly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yea...I am." Trunks replied.

"Well...I'm here for you." Lareesa finished as she ran into the Capsule Corp. building leaving Trunks behind.

He blinked wildly at the statement she had given.

"Weird." He mumbled before running after her.
