Bubun: Kyuu

Trunks was tired of waiting and thinking things over. He wanted midnight to come so he could talk to Hitomi. For once in his life he actually wanted to talk to her, to see her. He wanted to get rid of these stupid accusations and get back to his real life… if that was possible.

It was Wednesday, that much he knew, the full moon would be there in two days. So what did that mean? That she was half gone? What did the full moon matter?

"Tell me about your past Trunks," Hitomi asked, but not in this life, in a past life. In a daydream…

The two were lying down on a hill, looking up at stars and the full moon. It must have been November because it was getting colder.

"Heh, what part about it?" Trunks asked. He'd lived a long life for a nineteen-year-old.

"What happened to your mother?" She asked, she didn't want to pry, but she felt like they were at a point where they could share anything with each other. She had told him about her past… changing just enough to make it seem possible

"She died when I was five from a heroin overdose… then my dad came to take care of me," he said it with almost no emotion in his voice.

"You didn't live with your dad?" She asked a bit surprised.

"Nope," he turned to look at her. "I had never met him in my life before."

She brushed the hair away from his face. "I'm sorry to hear that… ne Trunks?"

"Yeah?" He didn't mind the questions, he actually trusted Hitomi, and he knew she would never tell another soul. He knew she would never betray him.

"Why'd you grow your hair out long?"

Trunks' face became dark and solemn suddenly.

"Well I…" he clenched his fist.

Yeah why? Hitomi said it was because of that incident. What incident?

"I just forgot to start cutting it I guess… this thing happened to me and I sorta zoned out for two years. When I came too, I guess you could say, my hair was long and I guess I just liked it like that."

Damn, give more details.

Hitomi didn't ask any more questions, she just held his hand. She had powers inside her that hadn't completely awakened yet, but she knew something very bad had happened to him. He must have been fourteen. She wouldn't ask what, she'd wait until he told her.

Goten sat in his brother's car. Gohan had decided he would drive him and Videl over to the Capsule Corps. Why? Because Bulma had asked them all to come over. The night was cold in February, so seeing Goten had been at his brother's house, he was now getting a ride there.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Videl asked him.

Goten shrugged. "When he was in the Hospital… fuck. What is everyone getting all worried for anyway?"

Gohan shot him a side-glance. "Well, Bulma's mostly worried because of… what happened."

"You all think he's suicidal don't you?" Goten asked, but not exactly in Trunks defense.

"He's probably the most likely out of any of us…" Videl mumbled to herself.

"Look Goten, I know you're worried and-"

"You know I'm worried huh?" Goten shot back cutting of Gohan. "You don't know shit. Trunks has been the biggest asshole to me in the past week, maybe he just wants time to himself. Maybe we should just let him."

"What happened?" Gohan asked.

"What?"

"Well, did you two get in a fight?"

"I guess you could say that…" Goten said looking out the window. "He said something… and well… I don't know if he meant it or not."

Gohan thought it best not to pry, they were at Capsule Corps now, he'd ask Goten latter. If only he knew that there might not be a latter…

The three got out of the car and into the building. In one of the board rooms, Juuhachigou, Krilin, Yamcha, Bulma, Vegeta, Goku and Juunanagou were already there sitting at the table talking.

"Hey Gohan," Bulma greeted distressed but trying to be a good hostess. "Videl, Goten."

They all nodded for their greetings and sat down at the table.

"Ok, I know I may sound crazy calling you all here so close to midnight. But I'm really worried about Trunks. He lowered his ki so he could be alone so I was wondering if you could all help me find him."

"You know we'd be happy to help," Krilin said reassuringly.

"Thanks," Bulma said sighing.

The plan was simple. Trunks was somewhere in North America, he wouldn't fly unless he wanted to raise his ki. So they simply had to spread out from where Vegeta had lost his ki. They'd find Trunks in no time.

*

So… it really was Vegeta?

Trunks hid his smile; she was finally listening to him.

"Yes… I'm not too sure why exactly. Maybe it's just because he's crazy…"

I want revenge Trunks… that's all my life is dedicated to now. My power works a bit differently from my Kaasan because of my Otousan. But when the full moon comes… I can get our revenge.

"How does your power work then?" Trunks asked, curiosity taking over.

My power is at it's highest when it's a half moon. Both sides at its fullest. But on the full moon, it's all the mind power in control.

"What do you intend to do?" Trunks asked almost fearing the answer; he had a thought as to where this might be going. If it did, he was fucked and maybe so was everyone else.

I am connected to you, that's why I can go into your dreams.

She looked up at him with hopeful eyes.

But through this connection, I can reach out and get my revenge physically…

"Phy-physically?"

Possession is our only choice.

Goten was in Manako's store looking at a katana. It was very nice. It had a handle, which was carved to resemble a dragon with garnet stones in its eyes. It looked very familiar in a very freaky sense of déja vu. Not to mention that Miss Yumemiru wouldn't stop glaring at him.

"Why can't you people just leave him alone for a couple of hours?" Manako questioned almost like a plead. Maybe she was just annoyed with Gohan, Videl and Goten being there.

"Trunks has been acting a bit… odd lately and we-"

"He's not going to commit suicide if that's what you're worried about," Manako said matter-o-factly.

"How… how did you know that?" Videl asked with shock clearly written all over her face.

"I know everything you do," she said.

"What does that mean?" Gohan asked.

"Maybe she's telepathic," Goten said a bit on the sarcastic side.

Manako shot a glance to him that could kill.

"What?" Goten asked taking a step back.

What the hell did this girl have against him anyway?

"Look, you guys really are bugging me, it's 2:00 am and I want to get back to sleep. If you want my opinion, Trunks is in R.M.C."

"R.M.C.?" Gohan asked. He'd heard of the place. It was a University there in Kingston. Why the hell would Trunks be there and why would she know that?

"Yeah, him and Hito- Uh… teenagers like going there or something…" Manako then ushered them out of the store before they could ask any more questions.

"What the hell just happened there?" Videl asked.

"What was she about to say?" Gohan asked, the question pretty much directed at himself.

"I say we go there and split up," Goten said already walking away.

"Hey Goten!" Gohan called after him.

"Look, quite like that store owner, I want to get back to sleep, let's just find him and get this over with."

It was November 11th, just a bit before the last daydream Trunks had had. Him and Hitomi were standing on a sidewalk downtown.

"It's for you," she said shyly handing him what she had in her hands. "For your birthday."

Trunks looked down, it was the katana from her store.

"Hitomi… I… uh… wow…" Trunks was speechless. He hadn't expected her to get him a gift for his birthday, let alone an expensive one. His father hadn't even gotten him a gift.

He took the katana and gently took it out of the sheath and stared in awe as the light shone of it.

"You like it?" Hitomi asked worried he might not.

"Like it? Shit… I love it."

Hitomi smiled at this, then they heard it.

"Well… ohayo Trunks-Kun," the boys voice came.

Hitomi and Trunks turned around to see Goten and Marron standing there. Trunks went white as a sheet.

"Nice sword you have there," Goten said walking forward with a cruel grin on his face, he went to touch the katana and Trunks backed away. "Oh what's with the hostility here?"

"Who's your girlfriend Trunks?" Marron asked.

Trunks didn't answer them, couldn't answer them. Just them being there made him want to scream and run off, or better yet, scream and stab them where they stand. There had been a time when they had been friends… but that was a time dead and gone.

Goten…?

Trunks came back to reality. It must have been noon or something. He hadn't slept last night; he had spent it avoiding people. Like he had expected, Bulma had gotten really worried and sent people to find him. Avoiding them was easy enough.

It was weird to be here again. Trunks had never been to this city, and yet it was so familiar. He knew it so damn well.

For a while he had been in R.M.C., he had gone onto this field and recognized it from his daydream yesterday. Then as he walked by the shore he had seem the docs where him and Hitomi had swam.

It was crazy.

The place almost felt like home.

Before he could wander anymore he had caught site of Gohan and Videl flying above. So he had hid and was now walking in a forest type thing. It was close to the military base, he could see islands in the distance with old military outposts on them. Everything was so calm and silent.

Was Hitomi really going to possess him? Would it be like Majin Buu possessing his father? Did he have a say in it… had his father? This was getting out of hand. She wanted to possess him and go after Vegeta.

He knew he didn't stand a chance against Vegeta. But maybe Hitomi did, she did have a power or something. Was it enough?

The biggest question would have to be: Did he want Hitomi or Vegeta to win?

Both weren't exactly on his favourite people list. But Vegeta was his father after all, but then again. Both had attempted or succeeded in killing him before. So he wasn't on any one's side. But it was his body, his mind. He didn't want Hitomi doing this; maybe he could talk her out of it.

He was just so confused…

(Ok, ok. I know this is short, the next chapter will be longer I assure you. Ok, I have some things to say that I forgot to mention before. The 'suicide note' in the last chapter was lyrics for 'Fade To Black' by Metallica *hey, I saw that video last night…* so yeah… ok then. Uhhh, what was I going to say? Oh yeah, took me a week to get this up, well first of all, ff.net is always fucking up and for the past couple days the site wasn't working and well school was getting in the way as well. But here it is now. Yay, bask in the glory. I guess I should also explain something; he's in Kingston Ontario, Canada. They keep saying America or North America because that is the same of the continent and I'm sure other countries don't view Canada as much *sniffles*. Most of the flash backs/day dreams I had thought up seemed to take place there *once upon a time I lived there* and so I just shoved him there. Oh, and Sacred Source and Harmony are actually real stores… very cool stores at that, but also very different stores. The katana with the dragon handle I have seen before and do aspire to buy. Now that I've rambled enough, I'd just like to thank all you lovely people for actually reading this story. Makes me so happy, sorry it took so long for me to post this. And despite school, I will try to get this up in less than a week this time. Sayonara)
