Author's notes: Reading your reviews I was soo suprized so many people reviewed! Anyway some of you have been asking for a Vegeta/Mako or Trunks/Mako fic. I've been thinking about it for a while and have decided to leave it up to you guys unless anyone has a different person they want Mako to get hooked up with.

Learning to Trust

By angel of darkness a.k.a. *angel!*

Chapter 1

Mako slowly stepped off the ship and onto Earth. [so this is what it's like] she remarked looking around at her strange surroundings. [Soon she thought, soon it'll be all finished.]

*~*

Meanwhile on Earth at Master Roshi's house, two of Master Roshi's old pupils and their families and friends and rivals and... well you get the idea.

"Just a little farter...10...5...GOAL!!" the anouncer shouted.

"You owe me $10." one of them stated looking over at his friend.

"The games not over." Yamacha stated smoothly.

"There's three minutes left. You're team is down. They have no chance of getting back."

"Are you calling my team losers?"

"Nope. I know they are losers." he laughed softly taunting. His friend only grabbed the popcorn.

"Who threw the popcorn in my face!" he demanded spitting in out of his mouth.

"Why did you change the channel?!" demanded the shorter of Master's Roshi's pupils, as the screen changed from men covered in padding to women covered in practically nothing.

"Yeah it's the game before super bowl!" Goku complained grabing some more potato chips and stuffing them into him mouth.

"You both listen right now mind your elders." Master Roshi snapped holding the remote close to his chest. "If you wanted to watch football watch it on your own t.v. set.

"You're the who invited us over in the first place." Yamacha complained.

"I for one agree with Kakorot and his little friends. It's quite amusing watching weaklings try to beat each other up." Vegeta smurked.

"I did not invite you over, Krillen and 18 did."

18 looked over from the table once she heard her name. "What are you looking at?" Chi chi asked her friend. "Oh MY GOD!!!!" she screamed looking at the screen. "You want to corupt my son!" she quickly covered Goten's eyes.

"Chi Chi calm down." Goku reasoned with her.

"You want me to calm down while you are corupting my sons!"

"It's all Master Roshi's fault. We were watching the game and he changed the channel." Goku explained.

"Is that true?" she asked Gohan.

"Yep." He nodded his head.

"Master Roshi you change the channel right now or else you will have to deal with me."

"Fine." Master Roshi muttered. "I don't see the problem though, Goku used to watch this stuff all the time."

"Goku is that true?"

"Oh course it's not!"

*~*

Trunks laid down on the grass and stared up at the clouds. He couldn't see what the big deal was having everyone over to watch television. Trunks didn't hate the television, he just found it a waste of time and found no enjoyment in 'watching weaklings try to beat each other up.' Trunks could have found better things to do.

Trunks sighed and closed his eyes.

"You know where Kakorot is?" he heard a voice over him. He quickly opened his eyes to find a woman in a female version of sayain armor above him.

"Why do you want to know?" Trunks questioned yawning.

"I don't have time for this Prince. You tell me where he is or else." She gabbed him neck and pulled him up, Trunks winced slightly in pain.

"How do you know who I am?" he asked after glaring at her.

"Listen, I'll be one asking the questions here, not you. You answer my questions and I might answer yours."

"God. Why are you in such a bad mood?"

"Because some jackass of a sayian isn't answering my questions, is that good enough for you?" she stated sarcasticly. "Now where is Kakorot?" she asked again annoyed.

"Why do you want him?"

"Do I have to beat it out of you, because if I do Prince I will."

"Just who are you lady, to come here and demand stuff from me?"

"My name is Makoto. I'm Radtiz's daughter. Is that good enough for you?"

"Who the hell is Radtiz?" Trunks asked confused.

"You obviously have no idea of who you are dealing with here. Some prince, this planet has made you forget who you are, in order to know ones self you need to know your past."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Everything. You in order to know who you are you need to know all about your race." With that she started to tighten her grasp.

"Fine. He's over at Master Roshi's." opon receiving an answer she dropped him.

"That's good enough." She said starting to fly away.

"How the hell do you know where it is?" he asked amazed.

"Like I said earlier, you need you know about your past. If that's it, I'm leaving."

Trunks had no option but to follow her.

*~*

Upon reaching the island, they landed and Makoto walked up to the door opening it and receiving confused glances from everyone inside.

"You can't just open the door without knocking." Trunks interjected.

"I'll do what prince, you need to wise up and stay out of my way." She glared at him. "You must be Kakorot." She looked over at Goku.

"Yep that's me. But just what do you want and who are you?"

"I want answers and I want them from you."

"Answers to what?"

"Are you gonna be rude and just stand there coming in univited like this?" Chi Chi interjected.

"Offending you is one of the least of my worries right now. But if it makes you feel better Idiot over here brought me here."

"I did no such thing. You are the one who forced me to bring you here." Trunks stated crossing his arms.

"I only forced you into telling my where Kakorot is, you came on your own free will. My name is Makoto the daughter of Radtiz. But I do come in peace, I just want to talk to Kakorot here."

"Fine. I'll talk to you. Have a seat."

"I want to talk to you alone. May I suggest going outside?" Goku got up and followed her.

*~*

"Just what me to answer." Goku asked leaning against the house.

"How can you live here?" she asked. "With these weaklings, how do you manage it?"

"I'm not sure at what you are getting at." He confessed.

"My father wasn't satisfied with living with my mom and me and left us. How can you manage to stay with your family?"

"Your father and I are two different people. We don't have the same views on things. Now may I ask how you know all about my family."

"That's simple, I've been watching you all for a while, like I was telling idiot earlier you need to know your race to know who you are."

"Idiot?" he raised his eyebrows. "You mean Trunks?"

"Yes. He's particularly annoying. I had the treaten him the bring me here."

"I would find that a good thing."

"What I'm getting at is that he doesn't have much loyalty to you if he's willing to trust a complete stranger."

"There you and me have different views. You should learn to trust people."

"When you trust people you only get hurt, it's better to be alone."

*~*

"You are a complete disgrace, bringing her here."

"But she said that she comes in peace." Trunks explained.

"That has nothing to do with it. She could be just lieing to you to get here to kill Kakorot."

"I agree with Trunks." Goten interjected. "Plus it's to late to change anything now."

"Weakling. You can only untimatly trust yourself. Goten seems to have lurred you in a different direction." [she seems like a good prospect.]

"Trunks did she say anything to you while you where coming here?" Krillen asked.

"She only kept repeating that I need to know my past to know who I am."

"Smart girl her father's trained her well." Vegeta remarked. "Unlike you Trunks who trusts anyone."

"Vegeta I've had it up to here with your remarks."

"Why do you yell at him if he tells the truth? You can only ultimatly trust yourself." Makoto remarked coming back in. "It's getting late. I'm leaving."

"Why don't you stay with us?" Bulma asked. "We would be glad to have you."

"I refuse to stay with Idiot boy."

"Makoto, go with them and I'll finish talking to you in the morning." Goku stated.

"if you say so."

*~*

"What exactly did she say to you?" Yamacha asked after they left.

"She asked me how I could stay on earth and not have any desire to destroy it."

"She's a bad kid. Gohan, Goten I want you staying away from her." Chi Chi stated.

"She's not bad she's just confused. Let her sleep and we'll see how it goes tomorrow." Goku explained.

*angel!*- remember to vote on what couple you want. I tried to make it seem even between the two of them.
