This was written the other day when I was scribbling down a sea of nothingness in an early class at 6:00 in the morning. (Gasp!) It's short, although I can't tell ya' its sweet and cute. Leave a response if you'd like, but try to keep your criticism constructive. Thankies! By the by, I know Goku is the nicest person around, but he's trying to point out something to Trunks with the first sentence, and make him understand something. So, yeah, don't even bother with the 'Goku would never be that mean.' He's not; he's helpin' the kid! lol. Oh, and about the 6:00 o'clock class, are you still wondering why I'm even there ever? Hehe.

"You're too young. What would you possibly know about the consequences of fighting? Of life and death? No, you don't even have a clue."

Trunks flinched inwardly at those words. Unexpectedly hard for them to be said by Goku. Goku, the soft, kind, gentle person praised in this boys time by the people lucky enough to have known him. Goku was all that and so much more Trunks had soon realized when he met the man.

"I don't have a clue? Oh no, Goku Son, I have a clue. My whole like I have seen death. Death for no other reason than to kill. I have lived through your death, Krillin's, Yamcha's, Tien's, Piccolo's, Vegeta's," He flinched. "and Gohan's.

"Every day I see cities turned to dust, houses to ash. I have seen people killed in droves, families killed one-by-one." Trunks swallowed.

"I have seen more death in one day, then you have seen I your entire life. I see more blood drip from one street in one day, then you see in a year." Goku lifted his chin higher and raised a brow, listening intently.

Trunks gripped his hands to fists at his sides.

"I have seen the only family I have left torn apart to pieces, their lives turned upside down, inside out. I—" The young boy shook his head.

"I have begged for death. Pleaded to Dende to let me die. I know death, its consequences, Goku. More than you will ever know."

The wind echoed with his words as it raked through his pale hair, blowing it across his brow. This warrior forced to grow up too soon, to live a life of unimaginable grief and sorrow. This boy who saw the wake of Goku's death.

Well, what'd you think? That whole scene of Trunks talking has always been in the back of my head, so finally I took it to pen. :) Tell me what you think, and thanks for reading!
