I do not own Dragonball Z. It is owned by Akira Toriyama. I also do not own the song, I Need You Tonight as far as I know it is owned by the Backstreet Boys.
Chapter 9
I Need You Tonight
"Well, I best be off." he said and kissed her on her forehead. She almost cringed however, he knew nothing of her dreams so she wasn't afraid, besides if he tried anything she would immediately go and live with Goten ... even if Goten would hit on her all the damn time. She hated when Goten did that, couldn't the other half Saiyan tell that she wasn't interested in him? At least, not outwardly.
"Have a good day." she said as he left. 'Finally,' she thought, 'I'm home alone.' What was she going to do all day? The phone jarred her from her thoughts. She quickly picked it up.
"Hello, Capsule Cooperation, Housing wing. Bulla Briefs speaking."
"Hey, Bulla (It was her friend and Trunks' girlfriend, Marron.) I was wondering how you were. I mean, are you doing any better?"
"I'm fine. I just need some time to digest what all has happened." 'Especially after last night's dream.' she thought. She continued what she was saying, "Time heals all wounds."
"True, but this kind of wound might not heal so fast, this wound has been open twice. And it's not just you and Trunks who feel depressed, we all do. So if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here."
"Thank you so much Marron. It's good to know that I have a good friend like you around when I need one."
"If I were in your shoes, then I would want to have someone there to talk to."
"You are very insightful."
"Thanks."
"Uh Marron,"
"What?"
"I think my Saiyan ears detect something burning eggs."
"SHIT! I gotta go, sorry."
"That's ok, well bye."
"Bye." Bulla heard the phone click to tell her that her friend had hung up. She laid back on the bed and thought about why she would dream something like what she did. What would make her want to do something like that, with her own brother? Was it a Saiyan thing? Was it a human thing? Was it a one time deal thing? She hoped so.
Bulla decided that she needed to take a long, warm bath ... with candles. That did sound relaxing. But anther phone call stalled her. She groaned when she picked up the phone.
"Hello, Capsule Cooperation, Housing wing. Bulla Briefs speaking."
"It's me, Goten."
"Oh, hey Goten. Um can you hurry, I wanna take a bath."
"Oh, well in that case, I'll just come over." he hinted.
"Goten, your a nerd."
"I guess that it runs in the family." he laughed at the comment. "Anyways," he continued, "I was calling to ask if I could come over, but since your busy, I'll just come over later."
"I'll call you when I'm done."
"That works. Bye Bulla."
"Bye Goten." they both hung up the phone.
Goten laid back down on his bed and let the music that was coming from his radio engulf him:
Open up your heart to me,
And say what's on your mind,
I know that we have been through so much pain,
But I still need you in my life, this time.
And I need you tonight,
And I need you right now,
I know deep within my heart,
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right,
I really need you tonight.
I've figured out,
What to say to you,
So tired of the words,
They come out so wrong,
Oh yes they do,
And I know a time that you were lovesick,
Then what we have was so right, this time.
And I need you tonight,
And I need you right now,
I know deep within my heart,
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right,
I really need you tonight.
All those endless times we've tried,
to make it last forever more,
And baby I know I need you.
I know that deep within my heart,
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right,
I really need you.
I need you tonight,
I need you right now,
I know deep within my heart,
No it doesn't matter if it's wrong or if it's right,
All I know is baby,
I really need you tonight.
"Bura ..." he whispered to himself. "Why can't you see that I love you?"
Bulla immersed herself in the warm water. The dim light from the candles were making her eye lids drop lower over her eyes. The scent of lavender swirled around her. She felt the tension release it's grip from her being. All the stress melted away, and every bit of pain was slowly leaving her body; except the pain of her parents death. It was, and forever would be there. Nothing could change the fact that her parents were gone ... ever.
I guess it's good to know that Bulla and Trunks didn't accually ... do that. Thank you for reading and please review.
