Chapter 6
Saiyan Naming

Bulla awoke in her brothers arms. She felt comforted by her brother. She knew that she was safe from harm, when he was with her.

She gently wiggled out of his arms and walked into the bathroom. She stared at the image in the mirror. It was someone other than her. She looked like hated the world. In reality she only hated the cancer that had killed her parents. Her father would still be alive if her mother was living. So why did Bulma have to diagnosed with it? Bulla quickly looked away from the image in the mirror.

"Hey." Trunks whispered as he entered the bathroom.

"Hey." Bulla answered in return. Trunks then walked behind her and looked at himself in the mirror. "You look like shit as well." Bulla said.

"Shut up." he said playfully. They both smiled.

"Momma's Boy." she shot back teasingly.

"You know it." They laughed aloud.

"Trunks, do you ever wish that you could be with someone that you can't be with?" his laugh faded away.

"What do you mean?" he asked with concern. She stayed silent. "Bulla?" he asked again. Still silence. He tried a different approach. "Bura." he whispered. He saw the glow in her eyes. It worked. She turned around and stared into her brother's cobalt eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Thank you." she whispered into his ear. She was confused as to what made him speak her Saiyan name,. She was mostly confused because she heard someone say it in her dream. Who it was, she didn't know.

She also felt ... happy, when Trunks said it. Or rather, her family. Goten had accidentally said her Saiyan name once. She had the intention of killing him. But her father got to him first. Goten was in the hospital, and in pain, for a month. Which is the longest a Saiyan has ever been in any type of healing facility ... ever.

Trunks hugged his sister snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. They stayed in their embrace for some time until Bulla looked back into her brother's eyes. They searched in each other's deep aqua eyes. Not staring, searching; for something unknown.

Trunks leaned his lips down to hers and captured her in a fiery, passionate kiss. She kissed him back with the same emotion. Both of them knew that this was wrong, but neither of them attempted to release each other. He moved his hands down to her rear and lifted her up off the ground. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her back to the bed.

She broke their kiss when she felt who Ki was coming up the stairs. He understood the look on her face. "Goten." they said in unison.

She let her brother go and dashed back into the bathroom as Goten opened the door.

"Hey man, is your sister here?" he asked the agitated, purple haired, half Saiyan.

"Go away Goten!" Bulla's muffled shout came to the men's ears.

"That's a good idea." Trunks said with more anger than he intended.

"Hey man, what's wrong? You mad at someone?" 'You ignorant bastard' Trunks thought. He was so infuriated with Goten, and he didn't know why. He also didn't know that is eyes had flashed to a brighter blue ... the beginning of Super Saiyan. "Yo Trunks. You better calm down 'for you do somethin' stupid, man." Goten said, but it was too late. Trunks' hair had already turned to the golden color of Super Saiyan 2. Goten staggered backwards out of the doorway as Trunks stepped forward.

"He's scared shitless." Bulla said as she stood in the entrance of the bathroom. "I should tell him a lie, besides I need some coffee."

"Tell him that I've been really protective since dad died." He said as he changed back to his normal state. She began to walk to the door when Trunks grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. She knew what he wanted, and she gave him the kiss he was looking for.

Before Trunks let his sister go he told her to hurry. She turned and walked down the stairs. She met Goten in the kitchen. He was raiding the refrigerator, as usual.

"Ahem!" she coughed. He closed the door and turned to her. "Sorry about Trunks, he's been like this since dad died. He's just really protective now. Just like daddy."

"Ya but he wasn't like this at the funeral yesterday."

"Goten, just don't cross him, " she paused, "Okay?"

"Fine." he had to change the subject. "I came over because I was wondering if you would like to come over today. Do you want to?"

"No."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No."

"Okay, " he rubbed the back of his neck. "Don't kill me but, what's the origin of your Saiyan name?" That was it. He took it too far.

"Denji." Trunks said behind her. He was still in his boxers. Slowly, he walked up to Bulla and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Bulla, are you alright?" She relaxed her body somewhat and let out a breath.

"I'm fine. I'm gonna take a shower." with that she went to her brother's bathroom.

"Uh, I'm gonna go now." Goten said nervously.

"Good." Trunks shot in return.
