Chapter 7

Contemplating

Goten left Capsule Cooperation with a very confused mind. Trunks was never this protective, well Vegeta and Bulma were never dead together. So he thought that Trunks just needed some time to himself. But what about Bulla ... Bura. Kami, he loved her. She was so sweet and beautiful. But she's changed since her parents have passed on. He figured he'd talk to his mom about it. He launched into the air and arrived at his house ten minutes later.

"Mom!" he shouted as he entered the small house.

"She's in the garden." Pan said as she sauntered passed him. "Oh, is Bulla feeling any better?"

"I don't know, but Trunks is acting psycho."

"What?!"

"He's acting worse than Vegeta did."

"What do you mean, worse?"

"I mean that Trunks is being really, really protective."

"Hmm, I wonder why? Do you think that it's because Vegeta's gone?"

"Probably. But he almost killed me for even wanting to talk to Bulla."

"Whoa, that's not normal." Just then Gohan entered the room. Pan ran to hug her father. "Daddy!" He hugged her back and then kissed his daughter on the forehead. "I'm gonna go outside."

"Ok." her father said as she ran out the door. "So what's up Goten? You seem down." Gohan asked. Goten told his brother what had happened.

"That's odd." Gohan mused.

"What's odd?"

"Trunks is acting as if someone is threatening his mate." Goten rolled his eyes.

"Not the Saiyan mate bull." Gohan looked at Goten.

"Do you have a mate?"

"No."

"Then you have no idea on what I'm talking about, do you?"

"No." Goten paused, "But why would Trunks act that way about Bulla?"

"I'm guessing that he's just trying to protect her. He's never had to protect her from everything. That was Vegeta's job. So I'm thinking that you should stay away from him for a few days."

"But-"

"Trust me, you wouldn't want to tick him off at the moment."

"That's what Bulla said."

Trunks walked up the stairs to his room to change for work. He slipped out of his boxers. He didn't notice Bulla come out of the shower and tiptoe up behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist. He turned around to find himself hugging a very wet, very naked woman. She glided her arms up around his neck.

"Do you have to go to work today?"

"What is my reason for staying here?" he asked seductively. She upturned her lips to a devious grin.
