------------------Tears of Life----------------

----------------Chapter 3: Sunrise-------------

Gohan walked up to Capsule Corp. He was doing an errand

for his mom. Dropping off Bulma's romance novels. He walked to the

front door and rang the bell. Very soon Bulma opened the door with a

big smile.

"Gohan! It's nice to see you!" Bulma let him in cheerfully.

"Hi Bulma, my mom wanted me to drop these off."Gohan

gave Bulma the bag with the novels in it. "I almost got caught with them

at school. Videl is so nosey." Gohan laughed.

"How is she anyway?"

"Oh she's fine."

"That's good,..... Oh I have some GREAT news"Bulma smiled.

"Really? What is it."

"Mirai Trunks is here."

"What?! Wow!! He's training with Vegeta isn't he."

"Actually, no he's not,.... He's resting"

"Ah, I see. So I guess I can't see him then."

"Oh you can see him if you want to."

"Really?"

"Yeah come on."

Gohan followed Bulma up the stairs and to the temeporary

infirmary. "Is he hurt?" asked Gohan worriedly.

"No not really. He's just a little sick."

"Oh"

Bulma opened the door and Gohan looked in. Sure enough

there was Trunks. He was leaning up against the headboard reading a

book. Trunks looked up from his book at the sound of the door opening

and he smiled when he saw Gohan.

"Gohan!"Trunks smiled a big happy smile.

"Well I have things I need to do, thanks Gohan for dropping

off my books, see you guys later." Bulma left the room and closed the

door.

"Long time no see, Trunks. How are you?" Gohan asked as he

sat down on a chair beside the bed.

"A little unstable but fine none the less. How about you?"

"I'm great. I've got so much to tell you, 7 years since I seen

you last."

"Yeah, You've grown quite a bit since I last saw you. Your

what 18 now?"

"Yeah I am. How old are you now?"

"25"

"25 huh? Wow. well I should fill you in about everything that

has happened since you were last here." Gohan began to explain about

how he came up with the Great Sayaman, and his problems with girls

then about the tournament and Buu. Trunks laughed at some of Gohan's

story. He was enjoying him self. "So Trunks why are you here anyway?"

asked Gohan after he finished his story.

"Well, I left because there was just nothing left for me, and

I know this is what my mother would want."

"Why? What happened?"

"Everyone on earth was killed by a strange new disease. It

was probably released because of the android's destrution."

"Oh, so your mom is,....."

"Yeah, she's gone,..."Trunks voice got very quite.

Gohan reached over and put his hand on Trunks shoulder.

"It's been rough for you hasn't it?"

"Yeah,...."

"Hey everything will be ok now. Your in good company"

"Yeah I know" Trunks smiled and looked at Gohan.

"When do you think you'll get out of this bed"

"I really don't know, soon I hope"

"I hope so to I could use a sparring partner at my own level"

"Yeah I know the feeling"

"I bet"

A Week Later

Trunks steped out of Capsule corp. He felt GREAT! A few

home cooked meals and some bed rest did the trick. He was feeling

better then ever. Gohan came over often to keep him company. And he

enjoyed it. He loved being around Gohan. He was so happy and carefree.

Trunks found out that Vegeta was softer then when he left 7 years ago.

Though Vegeta still avoided him, of course that's to be expected. Trunks

was stuck in bed and Vegeta's main hobby was training. But Trunks was

happy. Happier then he's ever been. His memories of his time line were

just nightmares from the past. Trunks saw the little him run out of the

gravity room, followed by his friend. They spotted him and ran up to him

"Hey! Your up! Lazy ass is up!" Chibi Trunks hopped up and

down. Trunks cocked an eyebrow.

"Trunks don't say bad words. That was really mean" whinned

his friend.

"Oh shut up Goten"

"No! So he's a big you?" Goten pointed at Trunks.

"Yeah, He's the future me!"

"He's cooler then you!"

"Nobody's cooler then me Goten"

"He is!"

Trunks looked at the two bickering friends. He sighed and

turned to walk away.

"TRUNKS!"

"Yeah?" asked both Trunks at the same time. Goten giggled.

Vegeta walked up to the three. "Trunks"

"What do you want dad?" Chibi Trunks looked up at Vegeta.

"No not you the other one"

"Me?" Trunks pointed a finger at himself.

"Yes you"

"I think we should call Trunks, Chibi for now" Goten gave a

big clasic son smile"

"That's a good idea" Trunks smiled.

"I'm not chibi" pouted Chibi.

"But compared to him you are" Said Goten pointing to Trunks.

"Oh shut up all of you. I don't have time for this. Trunks

come!"

"Yes Father" Trunks followed Vegeta leaving the two kids to

argue. They quickly came to the gravity room. Trunks mentally kicked

himself. 'Figures' Vegeta opened the room and motioned Trunks to go

in first and followed closing the door on the way in. Trunks watched

Vegeta turned on the machine. Trunks felt the gravity increase. It

became to much for him and he ended up on his knees.

"What did you do after you left? Sit around your house doing

noting?"

"I trained,....But not with gravity,.... Mother refused to make

me a,... Gravity room,.... She was worried I'd turn out like you,....."

Trunks manged to huff.

"Worried you'd turn out like me?"

"Anti socal as hell and doing nothing but training,...."

"Hmmm is that all? Anyway get up boy. I'll turn it down

weakling,..." Vegeta walked over to the monitor and pressed a few

buttens "There its at 100 now,..." Vegeta grummbled.

"Trunks got up and began to try getting used to the high

gravity. He streached his muscles that weren't used to being moved.

then he threw a couple of punches and kicks at and invisble opponent.

Vegeta just stood and watched him. When Trunks was done he walked

closer.

"You done now?"

"Yeah" Trunks had a look of dread on his face.

"Good" Vegeta droped into a fighting stance. "You make the

first move"

Trunks sighed and droped into his fighting stance to

prepare himself. He tried to calm himself a little. 'I'm gonna get my ass

kicked.' Trunks toke a deep breath then charged at Vegeta. He tried to

land a punch on Vegeta's jaw, but he moved and punched Trunks in the

side of his face momentarily stunning him giving Vegeta enough time

to give Trunks a good kick in the stomach. Trunks steped back. He

recovered from the kick and he tried punching Vegeta but he blocked

and countered it with a punch land on Trunks' jaw. Vegeta punched

Trunks again, in the chest. Trunks stagered backwards. He wiped the

blood off of his chin that was coming from a broken lip.

"Go super saiyan if you need to Trunks. It will make our

fight more interesting." Vegeta mocked Trunks.

"Well I have a problem there, Father"

"A problem?' Vegeta cocked an eyebrow "Well maybe then

I'll just beat you until your forced to go super saiyan!" Vegeta charged

at Trunks

"Father I CAN,...." Trunks couldn't finish because of a fist

conecting with his chest, knocking the wind out of him. Another fist

conected with his upper arm as Trunks tried to move. Vegeta swung

his leg around kicking Trunks in his side. The force of the kick sent

Trunks flying into a wall. Trunks landed on the ground in a crumpled

heap. His ribs were now broken.

"Get up and defend your self boy" Vegeta roughly grabbed

Trunks by his hair and yanked him up. He punched Trunks in the

stomach. Trunks stagered back against the wall. He moved his head to

the side as Vegeta punched at him again. Vegeta missed, leaving a dent

in the wall beside Trunks' head. Vegeta punched Trunks in his left

shoulder with his other hand. Trunks moved his hand up to his shoulder.

Vegeta pulled Trunks away from the wall and pushed him to the center

of the room.

"GO SUPER SAIYAN BOY!" Vegeta yelled at Trunks.

"I can't" wispered Trunks.

"WHAT?!" Vegeta "WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF RUBISH IS

THAT?" Vegeta was enraged.

"I'm sorry Father" said Trunks quietly. He moved his hand

to his shatered ribs. "I'm sorry"

"DON'T YOU EVER LIE TO ME BOY!" Vegeta stormed over to

Trunks, who's head was bowed in shame

"I'm not lying Father. I can't go super saiyan. I'm too weak"

"WHAT?!" Vegeta picked Trunks up by the collar of his

shirt "NO SON OF MINE CAN BE THAT WEAK! YOU WILL FIGHT ME AND GO

SUPER SAIYAN!" Vegeta tossed Trunks against a wall. He landed on the

ground hard and spat out a bit of blood. Vegeta landed on Trunks' back

making him cry out in pain. Vegeta pulled him up by his hair again and

punched Trunks in the face, braking his nose. "GO SUPER SAIYAN BOY!"

"I,.... I ca,...can't" Trunks managed to say.

Vegeta aimed a ki blast at Trunks. It hit his body so hard,

Trunks felt as though he was ran over by a train. He was sent flying

across the room again. He hit a wall, but this time he didn't land on the

ground. Vegeta caught him in midair and the chucked him at the ground.

Trunks allowed himself to fall to the ground. When he hit, everything

went black.

----------------------------------------------

Trunks slowly opened his eyes but quickly closed them.

He quickly recognized the infirmary ceiling lights. Trunks the noticed

he couldn't move. Which scared him. His eyes shot open and he tryed to

look around. That's when he felt something brush against his cheek.

"Hey Trunks don't worry I'm right here. Everything is

going to be alright. You can't talk because of a breathing apparatus."

Bulma voice reached Trunks' ears clearly.

'Ah so that's what's on my face' Trunks tryed to face

Bulma but failed miserably.

"You must be wondering why you can't move. Vegeta

broke your neck, so a docter had a neck brace put on. The docters

decided to keep you here because they don't have any room in the

hospital and they thought you'd be more comfortable here. Gohan just

heard. He's coming over right away. He sounded really worried.' Bluma

rubbed Trunks' cheek. "Get some rest Trunks, your going to need it."

Trunks responded by closing his eyes. He eventually fell

asleep.

----------------------------------------------

Gohan flew as fast as he could after he heard what

happened. How could Vegeta do that to his own son? 'Oh Trunks please

be alright. You can't die on me. Not after you finally came back.'

Gohan landed in front of Capsule Corp. He quickly ran to the door and

rang the doorbell. Bulma opened the door.

"Gohan. Hello, you know where he is,..." Bulma seemed

depressed.

"Yeah. How's he doing?"

"He woke up just a little while ago,...." Bulma let Gohan

in.

"That's good. I'm going to go up now."

"Alright" Bulma hurried off. Probably to get more things

for Trunks. Gohan walked up to the stairs and down the hall to the all

too familar room. Gohan opened the door. He was surprised to see

Vegeta standing against the door frame carefully watching over Trunks.

"Vegeta!"

"Gohan,...." Vegeta didn't even turn his gase from

Trunks. "I fucked up, but don't be mistaken. I care for the boy, Trunks,

my son. I didn't mean to,..... I don't know what came over me" Vegeta

cursed himself.

"I'm sure there's a reason for your attack. Trunks,..."

Gohan walked up to the bed and sat in the chair "Trunks,...." Gohan

softly grabbed Trunks' hand and rubbed it with his thumb. With his

other hand he softly rubbed Trunks cheek with the back of his fingers.

Gohan softly rested his head on Trunks' pillow. "Don't worry Trunks. It's

me Gohan, I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you."

------------------------------------

A month later.

"Hey Trunks. How are you today?" Gohan walked into

Trunks' room with a bundle of fresh blankets.

"Gohan! I'm ook" Trunks voice was raspy and his

speach was slured from ill-use. Trunks slowly sat up. He was smiling.

Gohan set the blanckets down on a chair. He smiled

a small, sad, yet happy smile. Bulma sort of hired Gohan to look after

Trunks, since he stoped going to school to see him anyway. Trunks

enjoyed the company. Gohan was now trying to get Trunks to talk as

much posible now, since Trunks wasn't used to it.

"Trunks how about we go for a walk today? You could

use the fresh air." Gohan walked up to Trunks and removed the covers.

"Yeah,.... That sounds good" Trunks smiled. He

wiggled his toes. He watched Gohan disapear into another room and

come out with a wheel chair. Gohan picked up Trunks. Trunks wrapped

his arms around Gohan's neck. Gohan lifted him out of the bed and put

him in the wheelchair. Gohan quickly change Trunks bed sheets and then

helped him get dressed, talking to him about little things as he was

doing it. Gohan maneuvered Trunks' wheelchair out the room, and to the

near by elevator. As soon as they were on the main floor Gohan wheeled

Trunks out the door and down the sidewalk. They went a park in the city.

Trunks always loved coming to the park. He liked to look at the flowers

and feed the ducks in the river. Gohan knelt down and picked a flower

for Trunks. Trunks toke the flower and smelt it. He smiled softly.

"I like it Gohan. And I like you" Trunks smiled happily

at his own coment.

"I like you too Trunks." Gohan smiled. He patted

Trunks' knee. "I like you alot"

"I,.." Trunks sighed "I love you, Gohan" Trunks looked

seriously, yet happily at Gohan.

"Trunks,... I love you too" Gohan reached over to

Trunks and gave him a big hug. Trunks kissed him softly of the cheek.

"You know what Trunks?" asked Gohan as he pulled

away.

"No what?" Trunks smiled at Gohan.

"I feel alot better now that is off my chest."

"Me too"
