Ah! I thank you for your reviews ^^ Sorry I was so long, I just got back from vacationing in California (Anaheim, of course!). I am such a tourist. Actually I was born there so I can never be a tourist, but still. It's been 9 years since I've visited ( bad me!) and my favorite aunt (my Aunt Jackie) spoiled me so bad! Tee hee, I got money, clothes, and boots (Oooo! Shopping was fun! I didn't know they had so many types of stores....some were scary for this Nebraskan though....like

a magnet shop! AAAAAA). Anyway, tell me about your best vacation ;) Yes, my life is this sad, and no, I won't read it, but other people can! Oooo, I would LOVE to hear any embarrassing stories you might have though....Muahahahaha!

Disclaimer: um

Real Disclaimer: do you even read this? Oh, you do? Oh, then I guess I don't own DBZ....(;_; Happy?)

CHAPTER 10

Trunks rammed into Goten before Goten could protest. Kat and Bulma were staring open mouthed as Trunks started to punch Goten. Kat snapped to her senses. "TRUNKS-CHAN! STOP IT NOW!" she screeched.

Trunks paid her no heed and began to punch Goten over and over, not caring if Goten was trying to reason with him. A sharp blow to his back made him whirl around and punch Katoria, knocking her against a log, winded. He was shocked, but didn't have time to respond. Goten punched Trunks right in the stomach and shoved Trunks off of him. As soon as Goten was free he ran over to Kat, who was shaking her head, looking a bit dazed.

Trunks' rage boiled. The two timer, he thought, he'll make Goten pay. He caught Goten off guard and punched him in the back as hard as he could. Goten cried out in pain. Trunks' smirk was wiped off of his face when Goten turned around and punched him in the face. Trunks frowned, and powered up to Super Saiyan. Goten, sensing Trunks was serious, also powered up.

Kat was crying, but the two didn't even bother looking down at her. Kat stood up, shakily, before they could do anything, and walked in between them. "WHAT IS GOING ON? What is WRONG TRUNKS-CHAN???"

Her eyes narrowed to slits. "How could you even think of fighting now?"

Trunks spit at her feet, "Because you cheated on me with him."

Kat's eyes mirrored Goten's confusion, but her face remained calm. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Trunks shoved her out of the way, tired of talking. Goten eagerly awaited the fight, ready to settle a score or two with Trunks. Kat slapped Trunks and he backhanded her. She flew into a tree, hit her head on it and fell to the ground. Goten, furious he would even touch Kat, sent a punch Trunks way. It hit him in the stomach, slamming him through three trees. He quickly followed him and looked around for him, finding only broken trees.

Goten was hit from behind, flinging him into the ground. He hit the ground with jarring force and Trunks smirked with satisfaction. He flew down and looked into the crater, not finding Goten, instantly turned around, blocking Goten's punch. They flew high into the air, fighting so hard and fast that they were both perspiring only five minutes into the fight.

Goten, tired of toying with Trunks flared into SS1. Trunks mirrored his move and they both came at each other. Before they could lay a hand on each other, they were both thrown back. They fell to the ground and looked up into the sky. It was GOKU! Goku looked down on both of the boys. "What do you think you're doing?"

Trunks glared at Goten, but answered Goku. "That two timer over there made out with my girlfriend. Then, when my Otoosan stood up for me, I just protected her."

Goku frowned and turned to Goten. "Son?"

Goten gave Trunks a glare that made Goku flinch. "He came out of nowhere and beat up on Kat-san."

Goku sighed. "Then I suppose you two were to busy to find out what happened to her."

Trunks and Goten gasped and looked over to Kat's crumpled up body. Bulma was sitting over her, crying. They both raced over, forgetting the fight, momentarily. The back of Kat was covered with blood. Trunks realized that he had done this to her. When he slammed her into the tree, she must've hit it with jarring force.

Trunks cried out and took off. Goten had a surprised look plastered on his face and Goku watched Trunks leave. All Bulma seemed to do was rock back and forth, holding Kat close to her. None of them notice Ashita walk behind them.

"What's going on?" Goten looked up and gasped. Ashi smiled. "I guess you noticed I'm Kat's twin."

Goten gulped and nodded. He couldn't believe that they were twins. She seemed so much more pretty than Kat. She was so curvy and her hair fell gently around her face. Her eyebrow raised and he blushed and looked away. She smiled and shook her head.

Goten soon forgot his new love at the sight of Kat's bloody body. They had to get her help and fast, or else... Goku seemed to read his mind and was soon instant transporting to go to Dende. Ashita walked over to Goten and gave him a warm smile. "So, who are you?"

Goten gulped and Ashi laughed. She pulled him up, and he was surprised to find she was strong. Stronger than Kat. He raised an eyebrow and she raised her's in reply. "So, are we going to stand here all day, raising our eyebrow's, or are you gonna get us outta here?"

Goten looked at her confused. "What are you talking about, why don't we just fly outta here?"

Ashi sighed and rolled her eyes. "Well...let's see. The guards are right there and they're coming up the vent."

Goten looked shocked. "NANI!?!?!"
Ashi sighed and headed off into the forest. Goten stumbled after her. "Wait up! Wanna play eye spy!!!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dende was shocked to see Goku there. Gohan ran over to Goku, but stopped when he saw what Bulma was carrying. "Otoosan?" Gohan questioned.

Goku grimaced. "What are you doing here, Gohan-chan?"

Gohan shrugged his shoulders. "I just came here to visit Dende-san. Who's that?"

Goku sighed. "Dende-san, can we heal her now, then we can talk. Maybe eat, too. I'm kinda hungry."

Gohan rolled his eyes and Dende rushed over to the girl. He looked up to Goku. "How many times do you plan on bringing her here?"

Bulma raised an eyebrow. "She's been here before?"

Goku nodded. "She stood up to Vegeta-san."
Bulma's face darkened. "Vegeta-san hurt her? WHAT DID HE THINK HE WAS DOING?!?!"

Everyone tuned out the rest of Bulma's ranting and ravings. They all knew Vegeta's head was going to be on a platter before the day was out. When the blood stopped flowing from her back, everyone let out a sigh of relief, even Gohan. When her eyes opened Goku slapped Dende on the back.

"Good job, Dende-san."

Kat stood up shakily, with the help of Bulma, and looked around. A pained look came to her face. "Where's Trunks-chan?"

Gohan raised an eyebrow and Dende shook his head. "I think it's best to leave him alone for now."

Goku smiled. "Good, then we can eat!"

Bulma shook her head. "Come on Kat-san, let's sit and eat here. I don't think Goku-san wants to wait to get home."

Goku jumped in front of them, giddy as a little school boy, and ran into the room with the food. Gohan smiled and followed his father, sitting between Goku (who was already into the fruit bowl) and Bulma. Kat sat opposite of him and told him her story as they waited for food. Goku started to bang on the table, so Kat had to wait until the food came.

Popo finally brought out the food, and Goku dug into his food and was asking for seconds before Katoria could take two bites. In the process of eating, she told Gohan about everything that had happened. Gohan, feeling sorry for her, offered her to come over.

"Besides," he said, "I'm sure Pan-chan would love to meet you. She's dying to have a new babysitter."

Kat raised an eyebrow. "What happened to the last one?"

Gohan laughed and explained.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trunks was sitting at Gohan's front door. He needed to talk to a friend, someone he trusted. He tried not to make a sound, but Videl must've heard him. She answered the front door. She smiled warmly at him. "Come on in, Trunks-kono. Gohan-chan just went to visit Dende-san, he should be back in awhile."

Trunks slowly came to his feet and walked in after Videl motioned him in. Immediately, Pan tackled him. She giggled as he shoved her off. Not knowing he was in a dark mood, she tried a tackle from behind. He just sat down on the couch. She squealed and told him to 'get his big butt' off of her. He picked her up by the arm and set her down. "Why don't you go play with Markie-chan?"

Markie was Pan's new best friend. They were both eight and both loved to play with Trunks. Trunks sighed heavily. Videl sat down on the armchair to the left of Trunks. "What's wrong?"

Trunks rubbed his eyes. "I may have killed my girlfriend."

Videl raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. "How's you're Okaasan?"

Trunks almost cried. "She was stolen."

Videl's face paled. Trunks sighed. He knew he was going to have to tell her everything that had happened. Even the parts he didn't like. If he left out one part of the story, she'd be lost. He hated retelling this story. He'd told Tayhei everything that happened. Videl would be so much harder to tell. She was always interrupting. Oh well, he thought, here goes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashi left Goten behind, making him catch up. She had enough of his eye spy. Her way was too hard, his too easy. Better that way, she thought. That means no more stupid games. Just as she thought about how stupid he was, she realized it made him so sweet and innocent. Kind of irresistible. But, she wouldn't let her fantasy get in the way of finding the people who fought Veter. Goten could wait.

She turned to him, wondering if he knew any of the four men. "Do you know who and where the men lived that fought against Veter-san?"

Goten scratched his head. "Who's Veter-san?"

Ashi sighed. "Big, fuzzy, mean...

Goten smiled impishly. "Oh yeah, that was Vegeta-san, Trunks-kono, Goku-san and me."

Ashi doubled over with laughter. "YOU? You fought VETER-SAN?"

She almost cried she was laughing so hard. Goten stuck out his tongue. "Oh yeah, well you were to weak to do it, and now I'm powerful enough to beat him."

That just made Ashi laugh even harder. Tears were streaming down her face as she begged him to stop 'torturing' her. Goten frowned. "I bet you I could beat you in a fight any day."

Ashi stood up, still giggling. "You're on...tough man!"

Goten flared up to SS 2 and blew back Ashi. He smiled haughtily. She stuck out her tongue and ran off into the forest. She called back to him over her shoulder. "Oh yeah, I guess you forgot you can't use ki. The guards are going to come for you now."

Goten heard her laugh devilishly and ran blindly through the forest. Sure enough, behind him he heard shouts, but he just pressed on. Soon, he had caught up to Ashi who was laughing. Goten looked at her. Her eyes shined when she laughed. His eyes shined too, full of tears after running into a tree!

Ashi laughed so hard that she stumbled over a root and fell down five feet away. They were both laughing hysterically at one another, each not noticing that they were in awkward positions. Ashi didn't even notice her broken hand, until she tried to get up. Goten rushed to her side, hearing her cry out, and began to carry her. She went up to kiss him, but didn't want to risk running into a tree. She knew Goten was good at that!

When they finally cleared the forest, almost two hours later. Goten finally set her down. He hadn't even broke a sweat. Even though he had been running for two hours, carrying Ashi, at break neck speed. Ashi loved a man with muscles, and decided that since Goten was part of business, he and she could be together. After all, Ashi missed all the guys she used to date. Even though she'd only been five, she sure had many boyfriends. Kat didn't understand guys, so she always scared them away.

Whenever they broke up with Ashi, they tried Kat, but she would scare them so badly, Ashi knew she'd never have a chance to go out with them ever again. Not that she wanted to, though. There were too many fish in the sea. But this one, this one was different. He was so kind and caring. A real gentleman. She could get use to this kind of treatment. And hey, who knew, it might even evolve into something besides going out.

Well, thought Ashi. I better make a move. I doubt he will. She leaned up and kissed him passionately. He was only surprised for a second. Then, he wrapped his arms around Ashita, kissing her back so hard she almost chocked. She pulled away and started laughing. "Who taught you to kiss?"

Goten looked down. "Actually..."

Ashi looked at him incredulously. "You mean I'm the first girl you ever kissed?" Goten nodded, blushing profusely. She laughed. "Well, here's a tip. Be more gentle, don't choke me to death!"

Goten nodded and blushed. Ashi liked him, so naive and innocent. At least he is handsome. That makes up for the lack of brains. She decided that Goten was ready for another try. She leaned up and kissed him gently.
