[Note: I dun own DBZ. Dun sue me. This fic is dedicated to my friend Halogatomon. Also...I'm addressing the two people aside from Halogatomon who actually reviewed my fic. To person #1: No...my fic has nothing to do with that song. In fact...I didn't even know that song existed. To person #2: When I was writing that part of my fic...I was watching earlier eps of DBZ from when Miari Trunks first showed up...and Goku told him that he learned a new technique called the instant transmission...and it stuck in my head. Plus...I like that name better. Hope that answers all questions...lol...I'll shut up now.]

When Two Worlds Collide- Chapter 7


Around one or so, Trunks and Kyoto got ready to go shopping. Bulma had lent Kyoto another of her outfits. It consisted of a black tank top and black skirt that came about six inches above her knee. Contrasting with her pale skin and fire red hair, it gave her a sort of goth look. It worked for her.

Kyoto pulled her hair into a tight ponytail and walked into the hall to find Trunks looking out the door.

"I'm ready." she said. When Trunks turned around, his jaw dropped and his heart skipped a beat. Even in such normal clothes, Kyoto looked like a princess.

"Uh...yeah...let's go." Trunks said, opening the door for Kyoto.

As they walked down the street, Trunks noticed that Kyoto turned every head in the street as they passed, the majority of those heads being part of the male population. Kyoto also noticed the attention she was drawing.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" she whispered, drawing closer to Trunks. He smiled down at her.

"Don't worry. They're just admiring your beauty. You're probably the prettiest girl in town." Trunks said as they passed a perfume boutique on the side of the street.

"I wouldn't count on that." a voice called out from the boutique.

Trunks and Kyoto turned around to see a girl with short, bleach blond hair, and piercing blue eyes.

"Hello Claire." Trunks said monotonously. Claire walked from the boutique to him and Kyoto.

"Got a new little girlfriend here Trunks?" she asked, looking Kyoto up and down.

"Why would you care Claire?" Trunks groaned. Claire shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't. All I want to know is if she's a good a fuck as me." Claire said. Trunks shrugged his shoulders.

"I wouldn't know. And even if she was, she'd probably be better than you will ever be." he said.

Claire's face turned red with anger as she glared between Trunks and Kyoto.

"Tell me Trunks...did you have this little whore as a rebound girlfriend while we were going out?" she said.

Trunks felt anger swell up in him. Kyoto looked at the two of them, utterly confused. Trunks took her hand to comfort her.

"For one thing Claire, her name is Kyoto. No, she's not my new girlfriend. Her mother and my father were childhood friends. They came to visit for a while. For another thing, she's not a whore. We wouldn't want anyone taking your day job, now would we?" Trunks said.

Claire's face went even redder. Not being able to think of anything else to say, she turned and stormed off down the street.

"Who was that?" Kyoto asked looking up at Trunks. He shrugged his shoulders.

"She's no one." he replied as they started walking again. "If you see anything you like, tell me ok?"

Kyoto nodded her head. "What type of things do females here wear?" she asked, looking at an extremely goth girl who walked past them.

"Well, that depends on what your style is." Trunks said, "What you wear completely depends on if you like something you see." Trunks turned to see that Kyoto was no longer beside him. He looked back to see her looking in the window of one of the stores. He went back to see her looking at a green and silver pendant in the window.

"You like that?" Trunks asked Kyoto.

"It's beautiful." she said, not taking her eyes off the necklace. Trunks looked at her a moment, imagining the necklace around her slender neck. He smiled at the image he saw. Leaving Kyoto to gaze at the pendant, he went into the jewellery store.

Kyoto stared at the pendant, as if it hypnotized her. Out of nowhere a hand reached in and took the necklace. A wave of sadness fell over her as she watched it disappear. She stood there staring at the place it had been.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Trunks asked as he walked to her carrying a small bag. Kyoto hadn't even noticed he left. She looked sadly at him.

"The necklace is gone." she said. Trunks smiled, reached into the small bag and pulled out a small box. He handed it to Kyoto.

"I got you something." he said. Kyoto looked at him a moment, then opened the box. Her eyes went wide when she saw the green and silver pendant. She looked up at Trunks's grinning face.

"Y...you for it? For me?" she stuttered. Trunks nodded as he took the necklace out of the box and clasped it around Kyoto's neck. His smile widened. She looked the exact same as he had imagined she would with the necklace.

"It suits you." he said, "You look great."

Kyoto blushed and looked down at the ground. "You think so?" she asked. Trunks nodded.

"Yeah...very pretty."

Kyoto looked up at him for a moment. She looked in his eyes. There was something in them. She smiled as he took her hand. They both continued down the street.

Two hours later they had been to six stores and were carrying many bags. Kyoto and Trunks talked and laughed as they walked. The little shopping excursion had brought them closer to one another.

"Knowing mom...she's going to choose a really fancy place to eat. So we're going to have to get a really nice dress for you to wear." Trunks said leading Kyoto to a very expensive dress shop, but Kyoto stopped.

"What did that girl mean?" she asked. Trunks looked back at her. He knew she was talking about Claire.

"What are you walking about?"

"That girl from before. She asked...'Is she a good a fuck as me'. I didn't understand. What did she mean?" Kyoto asked again.

Trunks hesitated a moment, then proceeded to explain it. When he finished, Kyoto solemnly nodded and started walking again. Trunks followed her.

"Kyoto, are you ok? I hope I didn't upset you." he said. Kyoto just shook her head.

"No, it's not like that." she said, "I wasn't expecting such a detailed explanation. And it was very wrong of me to put you in that situation. I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it Kyoto. It's ok."

Kyoto stopped and looked up at Trunks "Are you sure?" she asked, "I don't want to be a burden. The last thing I want is to be a bother."

"No, no, no Kyoto. You're not a burden. Believe me. You're new to this place, and I'm sure that there are going to be things that have to be explained to you. If you have any trouble understanding something, anything, ask me, or any of the others, and we'll help you."

Kyoto smiled at Trunks. He smiled back.

"You sure?" she asked. Trunks nodded his head. He then looked in the store window behind Kyoto. What he saw made his smile widen.

"I think we found your dress." he said, turning Kyoto around.

[Ok...that one was short too...but a little longer than the others. I told you...I suck at the chapters thing. Sorry. I'll try and get chapter 8 up soon. Please review.]
