A/N: In my version of this DBGT never existed, so don't give me any bad reviews about that, please. I (and one other person) own Kinu, Gogeta(as in Bra and Goten's daughter), Lilly, Princess Lei, and Kotaishi, but sadly none of the other characters are mine. Sorry the pic never came up. It must be an uploading error, but don't worry I'll find some way for u to see them. Okies, thnx! O and by the way, the reson I didn't pair Trunks and Marron or Marron and Goten up is because I HATE MARRON! It's ok though t/m, g/m, u/m fans I don't hate u. I just think that Marron and Uub make a better couple. O and t/m, g/m r soooooooo NOT kawaii together! And thnx to all the people who reviewed. By the way this chappie r a little bouncy, so please try not 2 get confused. And be forewarned there is some mushy romantic junk in there









~Chapter 4: Gotenks~

"Look there's the cabin just like Gogeta had said!" a dumbfounded Lilly and anxious Kinu stood looking at a small log house in the middle of the forest. Princess Lei stood silently watching the two Earthlings amaze themselves at a sight they never knew was there before.

"C'mon Lilly lets go see him," Kinu said anxiously.

Lilly nodded in agreement, and they both walked up towards the house. Kinu knocked on the door while Lilly stood beside her and Princess Lei secretly watched.

The door opened to reveal a man in his early twenties with raven back hair and a red bandanna. He looked a lot like Trunks with a few edited features.

"Can I help you?" he said.

"Uhh . . . yeah I'm looking for a guy named Gotenks. You seen him around anywhere?" Kinu said nonchalantly.

"Why?"

"Are you him?"

"Why?"

"I'm his sister. . . Kinu."

Kotaishi sat across from a startled Gogeta, her mouth open and her eyes as wide as saucers. He was truly sorry. He'd probably gone too fast for her that she was trying to catch up with what had happened in the past 2 minutes.

"K-Ko-Kotaishi wha-" he cut her off.

"Gogeta, I'msorryIdidn'tmeantoit'sjustthatI-I-. . ." "Hunh. . . what?"

"Never mind. I'll tell you later ok." He placed his hand on her cheek sympathetically.

She smiled as she placed her hand on his, "Ok."

Gotenks stared at Kinu. "My little sister. . . I can't believe it's you. . . I can barely remember you. . . Oh yeah, come on in we have a lot to talk about."

At the sight of Gotenks, Princess Lei's ki shot up. Kinu turned around sensing the immense ki; Gotenks looked past behind some brushes. He moved Kinu out of the way and started walking to where Princess Lei was hiding. He pushed the bushes away only to gaze upon the most beautiful face he'd ever seen. Princess Lei looked up to see him with her black soulless eyes.

"Who are you?" he asked.

Kinu and Lilly ran over to see who Gotenks was staring at. "That's Princess Lei! She came here in a spaceship, and she's our friend!" Lilly chirped.

"Why did you follow us?" Kinu asked.

"Why do you humans ask so many questions?" Princess Lei responded flatly.

Kinu, Lilly and Gotenks fell silent upon hearing this. There was a deafening lull. Finally Gotenks decided to break the silence. "Well if you are a friend of my sister's, let's all go inside, shall we?"

Kinu turned to Gotenks, smiled, and nodded. They all walked inside Gotenks's small cabin.

"Make yourselves at home," Gotenks chimed. Kinu and Lilly sat down at a small table on the left side of the cabin next to a fireplace where a tiny fire kept the whole house warmed, while Princess Lei stood looking and examining the house. It was small, but cozy none-the-less, Kinu had figured. There was an upstairs to the cabin which served as a bedroom, a bathroom, and two guest bedrooms that were only big enough to fit a bed, an end table, and some luggage.

Gotenks sat down at the table. "So . . . where do we start?"

Gogeta wasn't sure how she felt for Kotaishi. He was strong, good-looking, nice, and a great fighter, but he was from another planet and, wait so was she; still. . . Gogeta and Kotaishi had decided they wouldn't tell anyone about what had happened between them two earlier. Meanwhile Kotaishi was pondering his thoughts about Gogeta also. *Should I tell her . . . but what if she doesn't feel the same way about me? Then how could I ever tell her about whom I really am and what I had really come to do. I could never do that. It would break her in half. I couldn't bear to see her that way. If she only felt the same way about me-* His thoughts were interrupted by Gogeta.

"I think we should go back to the party," she said.

He smiled, "Ok."

They stood and flew back to the party as sunset approached the horizon. They landed on the balcony. Gogeta turned to face the sunset; Kotaishi did so also. She leaned against the rail.

"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked him.

"Yeah. And to think what they sent me here to do. There are so many wonderful things I had never imagined about this place," he turned his head to face her, "You being one, and the best one at that."

She tuned to face him. "Hunh. . . what did you just say?!"

Kotaishi blushed immensely and concocted a cheesy smile to go with it. He couldn't believe what he'd just told her.

"Who are the people who sent you?" she stared at him half curiously and half suspiciously.

"Uhh . . . n-no one. . ." his voice trailed off. Gogeta could tell he was lieing, but she decided to leave the situation alone for the time being. She'd ask him later.

"Ok . . . whatever."

*Whew! That was too close! Never let your heart run away with your mouth again, Kotaishi!* He sighed.

Kinu, Lilly, and Gotenks chatted about the past and caught up in the things in life that they had missed out on, like Kinu's first words which were "Gotenks" and the time Gotenks ran away.

"Why did you tell Gogeta about yourself all of the sudden, Gotenks?" Kinu asked.

"When I was little, Gogeta was my best friend: my sparring partner. I felt like I could tell her everything. I even told her about me running away, but I guess she forgot or something because when she saw me she didn't recognize me."

"Oh, I see."

"Why would one want to 'run away' from one's own family?" Princess Lei asked. She turned around to face him.

"It was sort of a combination of being kicked out and wanting out," Gotenks said calmly.

Kinu stared at Princess Lei with amazement. Princess Lei had never spoken much, but still.

"Hey, I got a great idea why don't we stay the night at your place, Gotenks?!" Lilly said enthusiastically.

"What about Lei?" Kinu asked.

"She can stay too. What do you say to it Gotenks?"

"Uhh . . . ok," Gotenks managed to say before Lilly leapt up from her seat, jumping and clapping her hands. -Just like Marron. - he thought.

"You want to go in?" Gogeta asked Kotaishi.

"Whatever you wish," he replied.

They walked inside. A song was playing and nobody had even noticed they were even gone. The song ended and another song came on, only this time it was a slow song.

"Kotaishi," he looked at her, "dance with me."

"I. . . uhh. . . don't know how," he said.

She tugged at his arm pleadingly, "Please it's my favorite song." The truth was, it wasn't her favorite song she just wanted to talk to him (and even laugh at how he would try dancing).

*Her favorite song! Yes! She will find out how good I am and maybe even sway her feelings about me!* He smiled, took her hand, and led her to the dance floor. She put her arm on his shoulder and grasped the hand that wasn't on her waist with her free hand. They started to dance.

"Kotaishi, what did you come here to do?" she knew she shouldn't have asked. She knew it was wrong, but she had to. She wanted to know.

He stopped and looked at her, his once happy eyes turned cold, "Why do you want to know so badly? Why can't we just share a moment of peace together without having to worry about our pasts or where we came from?! If you like me it wouldn't matter where we came from?! All that matters to me is you and us together! Sometimes I wish I were still stuck back in that war we're having! It would be a lot less painful to endure!" *Oh, great! Just great! You did it again! And you just told her about the war it's not like she has to worry about enough already, Kotaishi!*

A war?! What was he talking about? She decided not to ask instead. Gogeta's eyes stared to water. He'd yelled at her! What did he do that for?! Kotaishi stared into her watering eyes. Tears now poured like streams of endless pain from her beautiful black eyes. *Way to go baka! You made her cry! Aaarrrggg! I can't bear to see her this way!* H enclosed his arms around her in a tight embrace swearing to never let her go. Gogeta buried her face into his chest gratefully accepting the embrace. She now truly understood how he felt for her and how she felt for him.



:*: The next day:*:

Kinu, Lilly, Gotenks, and Princess Lei had found out the other night that there were only two guest bedrooms and three of them. In order to solve the problem Kinu had offered to give up her room and sleep on the couch downstairs only because Lilly thought sleeping on a couch would change her attractive blonde hair different colors, courtesy of Kinu. Lilly was still as gullible as a little child.

Kinu and Lilly had headed off home while Princess Lei decided she wanted to stay with Gotenks only because he said he knew how to take over the world and win wars. Kinu and Lilly promised that they would return the next day.

+At C.C.+ Kinu walked inside the door of her house.

"Hey, Mommy! Daddy! I'm home!" she yelled.

"Where were you, Hon?" Trunks asked.

"At Gotenks's cabin," she replied. Then she suddenly remembered that Gotenks did not want her to mention him to their dad. She quickly shut her mouth.

"Gotenks?" her father asked suspiciously.

All she could do was bite her lip and nod.

"Where did you learn about him?"

"He's not bad, Daddy, really! He's a good brother!"

"I don't want you to ever go near him again! You hear me!"

"But Lei's at his cabin still-"

"I don't want you to ever go near him! Ever! I don't care if he's our last hope to save the universe! Just don't see him ever again!"
