Summary: We hear a lil from Bura and Goten

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

She paced about her bedroom, glancing periodically at her alarm clock. Something wasn't right, something was happening and she was the only one who didn't know about it. Her eyes darted outside and her heart felt a certain pang. She'd betrayed a friend, hurt someone who may someday have been her best friend.

She blew her aqua bangs from her view and cracked her knuckles. Why had she done it? Why couldn't she have just been patient like everyone had wanted? Everyone said that they'd break up, except Marron of course, who was a supporter of the two.

She kissed Goten and he'd told Paresu.

*Two days ago...*

"Do you love Paresu?" Goten's eyes grew visibly three times larger. "Excuse me?" Bura shrugged carelessly. "Its a simple question, either you love her or you don't?" Goten nodded, staring in disbelief at what he had thought, a friend. "Yes Bura, I do love her."

Bura's heart wrenched. "How much?" Goten snorted. "What's with the third degree, Bura?" The beauty shrugged, "Nothing, I'm just curious." He eyed her suspiciously. "This wouldn't have to do anything with your and Ubuu's fight, hn?"

Bura glared, "Don't bring him up. It's my problem, not yours." Goten laughed, "Whoa, whoa! Don't yell at me!" Bura's eyes blazed fire. "Well I didn't come over here to talk about him, I wanted to talk to you. Isn't that okay?? I don't want your damn advice, Goten!" Then he made her really mad.

He broke out in laughter.

"You don't know how much you sound like Vegeta, Bura!"

She rose up quickly and gathered her things. She headed to the door and Goten grabbed her petite wrist, drawing her close. "Bura...I didn't mean to piss you off." She continued to glare. "What did I say?" he asked innocently. It was then that Bura saw the innocence in Goku that her mom was always going on about. He looked truly sorry and concerned.

"Nothing."

"Then why are you mad at me?"

Bura thought a moment, debating whether the truth was appropriate for the time or not. "Because I can't have you."

Goten frowned. "Huh?"

"I love you, Son Goten! All my life I have!" With that she kissed his lips, as roughly and passionately as she could, every emotion that she could muster, burst through her lips to his. Goten almost fell into her as he swam in her kiss yet soon Paresu's voice hit his ears, ringing off the answering machine downstairs.

He abruptly pushed her away. "No."

His voice was cold and emotionless, yet by the flustered look in his eyes, she knew it took alot to push away from her. Her own Saiyan instincts were running through her and she didn't know what to do, had he not pushed her away she'd have given herself freely.

"You need to go, Bura." She felt tears well up in her eyes as he glared at her. "Just go." So with his final words, she darted out the door and hadn't spoken to him since.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"Bura! Dinner!" came Trunks voice. She wiped up her running mascara and headed downstairs. She really needed to talk to Marron but the girl wouldn't answer her phone.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

With a sudden jerk she awoke.

Her eyes darted about the room. No one was there, no Videl, weeping on the floor. She felt her forehead, it was very hot and she felt as if she were freezing as a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She looked to the door, wondering if she had the energy to walk to it and call her mother.

She swung her feet from over the bed...the dream of Videl still fresh in her mind. It gave her shivers as she walked slowly to the door, opening it with a shaky hand. She tried to call out but her throat constricted and it shot pain. 'Great, I have the flu.'

She walked downstairs, realizing that she only had fifteen minutes to get ready for school. Her father was already gone, to wherever. Her mother sat at the counter, sipping her tea. "Morning Mom," she croaked. Juuhachigou frowned. "What's wrong, honey?" Marron tapped her throat and Juuhachigou felt her forehead. "Hmm, you've got a fever, that's for sure. I'll call the doctor."

Marron nodded, pouring herself a cup of tea. Breathing in the warm mist, it already relaxed her. "You know the Briefs, except Bura, are all sick too?" smirked her mother. Marron shrugged. "Weird." Juuhachigou shook her head, smiling as she dialed the phone.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

It was true. All of the Briefs boys were about to cry they were felt so bad. It was weird, three Saiyans getting sick, but they were and bad too. In the master bedroom, Vegeta lay asleep while down the hall Trunks lay in Bura's large bed, watching Friends and downstairs in the den, Mirai Trunks lay, reading.

He glanced out the window as the snow fell softly. His heart was yearning, screaming to see her. Yet he knew that if he did, Videl may appear again. As the fax machine that his mother used to write him buzzed his stomach dropped, whatever she were writing him about, it couldn't be good.
