Fade to Black

Author note: Well, I am shocked and horrified. Chapter 3, who would have thought it possible.

But for All the readers concerned for me, (I think the count is one) I've decided I'm not going to dwell, I'll find me a new partner. Like it is said 'there is always more fish in the sea.'

I forgot to tell you guys where the last chapter's song came from. It's 'goodbye to you,' from Michelle Branch.

The song in this chapter is 'unwell' by matchbox 20

To my loving fan, you can't rush creative genius and I think the few reviews I have got have swelled my ego, but that isn't a bad thing. For the Yamcha haters, he didn't seem right to be the jerk. You'll see why I picked Trunks later. Trust me!!

Story type: general I guess…..i still really don't know…but later on, there will be a yaoi. I think I'm going make it a song a chapter.

Disclaim: I don't own DBZ other wise I would be a millionaire. :

Main character: Devi/Devlin. Be warned the character is a Goth

Another dedication: to all that have suffered a heart break, this is mainly for you. Life goes on even if it seems it has crashed round your ears.

Chapter's quote: "We were like dude, then you were like dude, then we were like dude!" from 'finding Nemo'

Wise words from the coffee book: 'a true friend stabs you in the front.'

""-Spoken.

''-Thought.

()- if a character has a lisp, in the bracket will be the translation.

(())-When I want to put in my 2 cents.

~* Chapter Three: Home? *~

Mirai gazed at the slumbering girl, who was using him as her own personal pillow.

Her ebony locks curled about her face and the bandana that was neatly tied around her head had sunk to cover her forehead.

She looked so peaceful asleep, not worrying about what had hurt her in her conscious state.

Well, she was until a whimper escaped her lisps. This was followed by Devi trying to bury her face into the demi Saiyans chest.

At this point, Mirai was stuck for what to do. He could wake her, bring her back to reality, or soothe her in the dream so waking her didn't have to be an option.

'She's happier sleeping. I think I can lull her,' thinking of a song, Mirai cleared his throat and began the only song he knew all the words to.

'All day,

Staring at the ceiling,

Making friend with shadows my wall.

All night, hearing voices,

Telling me,

I should get some sleep,

Cause tomorrow might be good for something.

Hold on,

Feeling like I'm heading for a breakdown,

And I don't know why.

I'm not crazy,

I'm just a little unwell,

I know right now you can't tell,

But stay awhile and baby then you'll see

A different side of me.

I'm not crazy,

I'm just a little impaired,

I know right now you don't care,

But soon enough,

You're going to think of me,

And how I used to be.

Me,

Talking to myself in public,

And dodging glances on the train.

And I know, I know they all been talking about me,

I can hear them whisper,

And that makes me think there must something wrong with me.

Out of all the hours thinking,

Somehow, I've lost my mind.

I'm not crazy,

I'm just a little unwell,

I know right now you can't tell,

But stay awhile and baby then you'll see

A different side of me.

I'm not crazy,

I'm just a little impaired,

I know right now you don't care,

But soon enough,

You're going to think of me,

And how I used to be.

I been talking in my sleep

Where some will come and get me.

And they are taking me away.

I'm not crazy,

I'm just a little unwell,

I know right now you can't tell,

But stay awhile and baby then you'll see

A different side of me.

I'm not crazy,

I'm just a little impaired,

I know right now you don't care,

But soon enough,

You're going to think of me,

And how I used to be.'

His voice dance cross the words as if by magic, dipping, pivoting and floating as if his voice had a will of it's own.

Looking down at the girl, he smiled, noticing that she was back in what he assumed was pleasant dream as a globule of drool fell on to his shirt. ((Ewe, she's drooling….))

Suddenly his sixth sense kicked in and looked up to see his mother staring, rather gob smacked. "Mirai? Was that you?"

"Hi Kassan, um, yes, it was me. She was having a bad dream so I sang. I'm sorry Kassan if I disturbed you…." turning his head in embarrassment, trying to hide his cheeks that were blushing.

"You have a amazing voice" pausing to smile at the scene in front of her "well, I better get back to work. I'm glad you found someone to share your life with"

Mirai nodded "yes, I have to say……" then he realised what Bulma had just said "hang on, no. We are not like that…she was just tired and she had a nightmare….."

"What ever you say Mirai" a smiled graced her lips, the sort of smile that mothers have when they see something no one else has noticed. With that she left Mirai to panic.

He groaned placing a hand to his forehead "Awwe kami."

       ~*deet a couple hours later*~

The demi Saiyan and the girl was sleep peacefully. Mirai's hands located the selves to the lower half of her back and Devi's had curled comfortably around his sides.

But peaceful things never last that long, especially with Saiyan's around.

The human girl groaned and stretched like a cat, slowly flexing every muscle. Slowing opening her pale blues eyes, she observed the boy's little smirk and ruffled lilac hair.

Pausing for a minute, Devi wondered about could be getting the boy happy in his sleep and if she really wanted to stay and see if the end result that would be on the blanket. ((Sorry, couldn't resist))

Carefully, she slipped out of Mirai's grip, pulling the blankets to his chin and silently left the room to go to the kitchen for a drink of water.

The taller Saiyan was there, almost like he was waiting for her to appear. His eyes sparkled as his gazed fell on her, "oh hi Devi. You're staying here. Did Mirai tell you?" a grin had already made itself present on Goku's face.

"No, not really," Grabbing a clean glass off the bench and fulling it with the cool liquid.

"Really? What were you two doing alone then?" he tilted his head, dimly remembering that their ki had been located in the same area for a couple of hours without moving.

"We were sleeping together," Devi said in a matter of fact voice, bringing the glass to her lips and taking a few mouthfuls.

Goku fell anime style. "S-sleeping together? I don't think that was a wise thing to do. I mean you're still rather fragile. What were you thinking?" at this point Goku looked very fish like

"I was tired. I didn't want to sleep alone. His bed was comfy and warm, that's what I was thinking" placing the used glassware on the metallic bench.

"Oooooo, you where 'sleeping' together" wiping sweat from his forehead, the Saiyan sighed.

"Yeah, what were you thinking" said staring in disbelief at the possible connotation of what sleeping and together really meant to the Saiyan.

"Nothing.." an impish grin appeared on his face and his hand rubbed his neck.  "Hey Devi, I'm going to a friend tomorrow and was wondering if you'd like to come. We could stay for lunch" Goku brought up so the other topic would be forgotten.

 "Sure, only if Mirai can come. He has been so nice to me," she smiled as she thought of the demi's friendship and cuddles in a time of need. She wanted to repay the demi Saiyan's kindness for sharing his bed, but this would do for now.

Goku nodded "Okay you tell him to be ready by ten A.M and then we'll go" he patted her arm "the guys name we are meeting tomorrow name is Kaiobit. You'll like him" 

Nodding, Devi skipped off to tell Mirai the news
