Odango shakes her head as she turns toward the readers: Hope you like this one minna. There's a surprise in here for everyone. Especially MarsmoonStar! Arigato! Enjoy!

Chapter 15

Inside a dark lair, seven figures stood or sat in a circle watching an eighth figure as it paced around frustrated.

"How in kuso could she just turn on me like that?! Saturn was the second strongest senshi next to Moon!! How did this happen?!?!"

"Mamoru calm down."

The figure stopped pacing long enough to glare at the blue haired senshi.

"Easy for you to say Mercury. Your girlfriend isn't running around with some boy who her brother claims as the Earth no Ouji!" Mamoru shouted. Mercury narrowed her eyes and kept quiet.

"Their fighting style is way different than ours" Jupiter spoke trying to change the subject.

"Hai that's true" Mamoru said once again pacing.

"Which means we need to practice harder if we want to get to their levels" Mars said.

"I agree" Uranus spoke up. Neptune sat on her lap calmly looking into her mirror.

"Then it's settled. All six of you train. Now. Pluto, lets go" Mamoru said walking away toward a bedroom.

"As you wish ouji" Pluto said with a tired voice. She looked at the senshi who gave her a sympathetic look before following his royal-pain-in-the-ass into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

Jupiter jumped up and slammed her fist into the wall. "Why can't we do it now?! It won't take that long and we can be very quiet?!"

"Get a hold of yourself Makoto! You know we have to keep on as planned or it will never work" Venus said.

"She's right. We need to get stronger if we want to beat them" Uranus said.

"So lets start training then! I hate waiting" Jupiter grumbled as she walked towards their small gym. A muffled cry came from the bedroom door she passed causing her to clench her fist. 'Domo arigato Pluto. You don't know how much we really appreciate you for this.' With that thought and a new reason to get stronger, she hurried to the gym with the other senshi following her. (Pyro: Aww Puu! *sniff*)

Usagi sighed for the tenth time that night. Hotaru had healed her and Gohan after waking up three hours later. But Vegeta had caught sight of the 'mark' on her neck and stated to yell at them both in Saiyan and Japanese. Not only him but Artemis and Chichi as well. Goku just grinned at them while Luna and Bulma smiled. She had to admit that her brother could be funny when he acted like their father. The other seven guys that came with Gohan, Vegeta and Goku stood in the back, watching with some amusement. Usagi felt Gohan pull her tighter to him and snuggled deeper into his embrace. They had transformed back into their school clothes when Hotaru healed them and were now sitting on the couch getting an ear full!

:It's scary how our parents act alike ne kiobito?:

:Hai demo...:

:Nani?:

:We were suppose to go on a date tonight!:

Gohan mentally laughed at the whining voice of his girlfriend. He saw her grinning at him and laughed out loud causing everyone to look at him.

"What are you laughing at brat?! I should kill you for doing that to my imotou!" Vegeta said.

"Awe! Lighten up niichan! It's only a hickey." Hotaru giggled as Usagi and Gohan turned red.

"I don't care if it was a mosquito bite! He shouldn't of did that!"

"Are you guys almost done?" Gohan asked getting frustrated.

"NAZE?!" Vegeta, Chichi and Artemis shouted. Goku, Hotaru and Luna held back their laughter. (Pyro: WHY?!)

"Because we have a date and we're an hour late for it" Usagi said also frustrated.

"Date?! What date?!" This outburst caused everyone to burst out laughing.

"The one that I asked her out on yesterday by the tree" Gohan said sighing.

"What tree?" Vegeta asked suspiciously at this new information.

'Oops!' Gohan thought as Usagi visibly paled.

"The one your sister and my son were making out on yesterday like there was no tomorrow!" Chichi said triumphantly when she saw Usagi trying to hide from a fuming Vegeta.

"NANI?!" Vegeta said jumping up.

"NIICHAN!!!" Usagi shouted trying to hide beneath Gohan. She chanced a peek at her brother only to yelp and jump over the couch when he suddenly began to chase her.

"Vegeta!! Iie!!!" Usagi shouted as she dodged him by ducking under the kitchen table.

"Get back here Sere!!! I'm not finished with you yet!!!" Vegeta shouted also ducking under the table.

Gohan was about to get up to help Usagi when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up into the laughing eyes of Luna.

"Don't worry Gohan. They did this all the time" Luna told him.

"He won't hurt her will he?" Gohan asked.

"Iie! Not on his life. He loves his sister too much to ever hurt her. He's just gonna torture her that's all" Luna said with a smile.

Before Gohan could ask what she meant, laughing could be heard coming from the kitchen as well as uncontrollable giggling. Everyone went to see what it was and they too started to laugh at the sight.

Vegeta had Usagi pinned on the floor with her hands above her head and was tickling her mercifully.

"Ve.. *giggling* niichan!! Let.. hee hee.. me..haha GO!!"

"Never! Not after what I found out you and the brat did!"

Usagi kept on laughing. She noticed the others were watching them and looked at Hotaru. "Hota-chan!! HAHAHA!! Help!!"

Hotaru giggled as she tackled Vegeta off of Usagi. She started to tickle him and everyone minus Luna and Artemis stood stun as they heard the Saiyan Prince laugh. Usagi soon joined in tickling her brother as the three laughed uncontrollably.

Bulma laughed at the sight. Now she knew how to get her husband to laugh. A movement from outside caught her attention through the window. Curious she went to the front door and went outside to see what it was. And boy was she ever shocked. (Odango: Wonder what it is?)

The tickling fest continued until everyone minus Chichi felt a very powerful yet very familiar ki.

"Who is that neechan?" Hotaru asked Usagi.

"Don't know. Do you kaasan?" Usagi said.

"I don't. But everyone else seems to" Luna said looking around at everyone who had hints of recompilation and smiles on their faces.

"Masaka" Vegeta's voice broke through. He looked happy even with his scowl.

"Nani? Who is it niichan?" Usagi asked.

"It's..." he never got to finish because Bulma's screech of happiness was heard throughout the whole house.

"TRUNKS!!!!!!" (Odango and Pyro: Yeah!!!)

Everyone quickly left the house to go see for themselves. Usagi looked puzzled. Gohan chuckled as he helped her and Hotaru up.

"What did she mean Trunks? He's with Goten in my room playing games" Usagi said as Gohan looked at her.

Gohan chuckled again as he kissed her nose. "Not this Trunks. Mirai Trunks" Gohan said smiling. When Usagi and Hotaru still had their blank looks, he laughed. Come on! I'll introduce you." With that Gohan left the two stunned girls to follow him.

Usagi and Hotaru shrugged when they looked at each other. Usagi suddenly had an idea.

"Hota?"

"Nani neechan?"

"Wanna ride?" Usagi asked with a grin. Hotaru laughed as she jumped on Usagi's back. The two girls laughed as they made their way outside with the others. When they got outside they saw Bulma hugging a man who looked a lot like the Trunks in her room only slightly older. 'Looks like early twenties' Usagi mused silently and Hotaru slid down to stand next to her. She did not fail to notice the tears that were streaming down his and Bulma's face or the way he was hugging Bulma so tightly, like she would disappear. Vegeta stood with the two and placed a hand on the young mans shoulder. He was talking in a hushed voice but thanks to saiyan hearing, Usagi heard every single word. (Odango: OOC time for Veggie minna)

"Gomen ne musuko. Demo don't worry son. You can stay here for as long as you want. We're your family now." The boy seemed startled and was even more so when Vegeta joined the hug. The boy seemed to cry more as he hugged him back.

Usagi smiled at the scene. From the shocked faces of everyone minus her parents, Usagi seem to acknowledge that a term of respect had passed between the two finally. She felt Hotaru lean into her right side and put her arm around the young girl. Luna and Artemis stood just to the side of them, both wrapped in the other's arms. She looked over to see that Goku had wrapped his arms around Chichi who smiled wrapping her arms around his waist. 'How lovey dovey.' Usagi jumped slightly when she felt an arm go around her waist. She looked up into the smiling face of Gohan.

:So that's my nephew from the future huh?:

:Hai:

:Not bad:

:Nani?!:

Usagi smirked. :Jealous?:

:Iie:

:Awe! You're no fun:

:Why would I be jealous? I've already marked you as Vegeta yelled:

Usagi held in her laugh as an 'ahem' ended their conversation as the three turned to look at everyone.

"Guys, Mirai's gonna be staying with us from now on. His Okaasan passed away so he decided to come back." When no one said anything but give sympathetic looks his way, Bulma growled. "Well welcome my son damn it or I'll have Usagi and Gohan beat you to a pulp!" All at once everyone began to say his or her hellos and welcome backs.

Usagi laughed. 'I think I'm liking Bulma-chan more and more. Great job niichan!' She snuggled into Gohan's embarrass as he held her tighter. She closed her eyes in relaxation but opened them when she felt her brother's ki coming toward her. She saw that he was walking with the young man. Usagi shrank back slightly.

Gohan felt Usagi's withdraw and smiled. 'Shy' he thought. He held her tighter to him and when he felt her look up at him, he smiled down at her reassuringly. He turned slightly still smiling as he clasped his free hand with the man that Vegeta brought over with them.

"Hey Trunks! Long time no see buddy! Gomen ne about your Okaasan" Gohan said apologetically.

"Arigato. It's good to see the gang again bud. Hey! Who are these two lovely ladies?" Trunks asked.

While Usagi and Hotaru both blushed, Usagi felt Gohan hold her even closer to him and mentally growl. Luna and Artemis walked over to the group with curiosity in their eyes. 'Figures. Curiosity killed the cat' Usagi thought with a silent giggle.

"Musuko, I want you to meet Luna and Artemis Tsukino. They raised me on my planet before they left for a mission" Vegeta introduced. Trunks shook hands with Artemis and bowed to Luna. "This here is Hotaru" Vegeta said rumpling the small girls hair as she giggled. "And this is Usagi." Trunks bowed with a smile. "Watch it brat. She's taken. Besides, I think it would be a bad idea even if you did get together."

"Why is that tousan?"

"Well I don't think dating your basan is proper plus, Gohan would beat you into the earth and then some." When Trunks eyes got bigger Vegeta and Usagi laughed.

"Couldn't you have broken it a little easier on him niichan?" Usagi giggled. When she tried to look her nephew over, she felt Gohan tighten his hold.

:Koi?:

:Hai?:

:Let go:

:Iie:

Usagi sighed. "Why do you have to be so difficult" she asked as she looked up at Gohan. Before he could retort, Usagi threw her left arm around his neck and pulled his head down as she kissed him senseless. Feeling her brother's ki rise she smirked into the kiss. She broke it off and left Gohan, who looked dazed and had his dad's goofy grin on his face, to examine the man standing next to her brother.

Walking around him, she put a finger on her lips as she studied him. "Hmmm? Tall. Strong. Handsome. Definitely your kid niichan. Demo.... lavender hair? How'd you and Bulma-chan pull that off?" Usagi said looking at her brother quizzically. He just shrugged while Trunks blushed. "He does look kawaii I must say. Nice butt too." Usagi felt a ki immediately rise and giggled. She turned away from a blushing Trunks to a frowning Gohan with a smile on her lips. "Demo he can't be as sexy as you Go-chan." With that Usagi grabbed the blushing Gohan's hand and walked away from the group, winking at Hotaru who laughed as they walked to the front of the house.

"Saa. That was strange" Trunks sweat dropped. The others nodded.

"Well you can't blame them Mirai-kun. They were suppose to go on a date demo.. niichan, papa and Chichi decided to yell at them" Hotaru said crossing her arms and glaring at Vegeta.

"Hoonto? For what?" Trunks asked interested.

"Just because Gohan gave my sister a hickey" Hotaru said with a slight smirk.

"Gohan? Gave your sister a hickey?" When Hotaru nodded, he laughed. "I take it that Usagi is the reason he's still mad?"

"Hai" was the young girls answer. Trunks nodded. He looked over at his friend to see him hugging Usagi. They seemed to sway a bit. Almost like they were...

"Awe look! Our love birds are dancing" Bulma voice said startling the teens. They sighed but made no more to stop. It also seemed like Usagi was banging her head against Gohan's chest.

"Well we were suppose to go out demo we decided not to" Usagi said a bit annoyed and saddened.

"Be nice Usagi" Artemis warned. Usagi pouted but mumbled a 'gomen' after Gohan kissed her.

"I'm surprised you two got through a whole day without making out" Bulma blurted out, successfully making the teens blush.

Gohan just shook his head. :Well I don't think tonight has been a total waste ne?:

Usagi nodded her head in agreement. :Demo I wish we could have gone out:

:Maybe we still can:

"Huh?" Usagi looked into Gohan's black eyes.

"You just need to change and freshen up ne?" Usagi nodded. "We can still go. It's only gonna be.." He looked at his watch. "Eight. What do you say?"

Usagi thought for a minute. 'I guess that would do demo... I need to change a few things.' "Hai. That'll do demo, give me an hour." When Gohan rose an eyebrow, she kissed him. "Onegai? Just one hour." Her eyes got watery and larger.

Gohan inwardly sighed. 'Damn.' He sighed and nodded. Usagi smiled and kissed him again. "An hour Usa. No more. No less. Got it?" He was answered by a mind-blowing kiss.

Usagi walked away from the stunned Gohan to a smirking Hotaru. "Imouto, I need help getting ready for my date. Can you help me oneagi?" she asked with the puppy eyes plead.

"Hai. Demo, get in the shower now and I'll be up in a minute with some ideas on outfits ne?" Usagi nodded and left to go take her shower. Hotaru turned to Gohan and smiled. "Saa ouji. Where are you taking my neechan tonight?"

Gohan looked a bit surprised. 'Did she just call me ouji?' "Saa.... a little place where all my friends go. Kind like a hang out."

Hotaru nodded. "Dancing and clubbing ne?" Gohan nodded with more surprise in his eyes. "So light and dark basically?"

Gohan frowned as he thought. "Hai, now that you mention it. Naze?"

Hotaru smiled. She looked Gohan up and down. She rose an eyebrow at him. "Can I trust you to get dressed on your own?" When Gohan blushed frowning, Hotaru laughed. She turned her head and spotted Goku walking over to them. "Goku-sama! Your son needs to go home and change A.S.A.P!"

"Naze Hotaru? Onegai, call me Goku. I'm not royalty" Goku said looking down at the tiny girl.

Hotaru was about to say more but decided against it. 'They're not ready yet.' "As you wish demo you and he need to get going."

"Naze?"

Hotaru sighed. "Your son and his girlfriend are going on their date! He needs to change and I need to help my neechan!" Turning to Gohan she threaten, "I expect you back in an hour got it?" Gohan nodded a bit unnerved by this fourteen year old. Hotaru smiled. "Good. Now get going!!!"

"I am! I am! Sheesh!" Gohan said walking over to his dad.

Goku shook his head smiling. Turning slightly he called to his wife, "Chi, we'll be back in an hour okay? Ja!" And with the help of Shuken Idou, the two Son's were gone.

"Where are they going?" Chichi asked no one in particular.

Vegeta snorted. "He's getting ready to take his woman out." This caused more of a commotion than expected and Hotaru was glad to have escaped.

Odango: Well there it is minna.

Pyro: Don't forget to review or you won't get the next chapter!

Odango and Pyro: JA!
