So,... F.Trunks: Ninjy doesn't own me or dbz. Ninjablue: On with the story! ------------------Tears of Life------------------ --------------Chapter 4:Day Begins--------------- Bulma was very proud of Gohan and Trunks. Gohan was doing a great job taking care of Trunks, and Trunks was doing his best to get back up on his feet. There was of course the occasional problem, but they always managed to get past it. She watched as Trunks toke his first steps out of the wheel chair. He had help from Gohan but it was still very heart warming to see. Vegeta was hiding in a corner watching his son make that incredible movement, signaling he was recovering. Bulma saw Vegeta smile. She was mildly surprised, but very happy about that simple feature that spread across his face. Trunks Looked at Bulma and smiled. Bulma noticed when he looked over at Vegeta it wasn't a smile on his face, but a look of fear. That made Bulma a little worried. If Trunks was scared of Vegeta,... His chance of fully recovering would slim. "Come on Trunks, one foot in front of the other." Gohan encouraged Trunks. "You can do it." The door bell rang clearly through the room. "I'll get it" said Bulma getting up and leaving the room. The group waited for her to return. Soon enough Bulma came back up. "Gohan it's for you." "Me? Who is it?" Gohan helped Trunks back into his chair. "Videl." "Oh no,...." Gohan turned to Trunks "I'll be right back ok" "Alright Gohan." Trunks nodded at Gohan. Gohan gave Trunks a pat and the headed down stairs. When he got down there, she was waiting. "GOHAN-SAN!" Videl yelled at him. Gohan flinched. "Videl,.... Uhhh what are you doing here?" Gohan walked up to Videl. "I want answers Gohan! Where have you been and why haven't you been coming to school? Everyone is worried." Videl stared Gohan down. "I've been here Videl. I thought my mom phoned the school saying I was no longer atending." "Why Gohan?" "A good friend of mine suffered from a very serous injury. I volunteered to talk care of him and help him recover." "How serous?" "A broken neck along with other broken bones and serous cuts." "Oh wow! What happened?" Videl covered her mouth. "He was beaten brutally." "He's alright isn't he?" "He just toke his frist step towards full recovery" Gohan smiled softly. "Could I see him?" Videl gave Gohan a puppy dog face. "Yeah I supose. I don't know if he'll be happy about it though. Come on" Gohan motioned Videl to follow him. They came to the room where Trunks was. Vegeta was still watching over him. Trunks looks very nervous. "Hey Trunks what's the matter?" "Gohan,..." Trunks looked nervously at Vegeta then back to Gohan. Gohan knelt down and toke Trunks hands and rubbed them. "Trunks,... Love,... Vegeta isn't going to hurt you again. He feels horrible for what he did the frist time.It's all right. He just wants to protect you. Prevent anything else from happening to you." "No, he'll hurt me again. Keep him away." Trunks was freaked. "Gohan it's obvious he's scared. He dosen't want anything to do with that man over there. And what do you mean bye love?" Videl stared intensely at Gohan. "I,.. Uhhh,... Oh,.... Listen Videl I love Trunks, I loved him since I first layed my eyes on him. you must understand that. And as for Vegeta, he is Trunks father. And he just made a mistake he's trying to fix,...." "His father! Gohan if he actually allowed himself to get that carried away, I wouldn't call it a mistake I call it abuse! How could anyone allow that to happen?" Videl crossed her arms and looked angry. "And I thought you liked me!" "Videl,... I like you as a friend nothing more. You should really keep out of things you don't understand." Gohan turned his attention back to Trunks. "Things I don't understand? I understand perfectly that your hiding something from me, again!" Videl stomped her foot. "Yeah but that's because it information you don't need to know, got it." Gohan stared at Trunks "Hey it's all right." "Stop fighting,...." Trunks looked deeply upset. "Fighting isn't any good." "I know Trunks, I know Trunks. I'll try not to fight with other people around you anymore ok." "Ok." "Videl, before you say another word lets go out into the hall and finish this there. Trunks is getting upset." Gohan stood up and looked at Videl. Trunks watched them go outside the room. 'Oh great I'm left with him again.' Trunks stared nevously at Vegeta. He noticed that Vegeta abandoned his casual pose against the wall and began to walk towards him. 'Oh no!' Trunks began to panic. 'He's going to hurt me again. No, no no. Gohan please come,....Gohan." Vegeta walked up to Trunks "Don't worry Trunks, my son. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." He knelt in front of Trunks. "Please try and trust me Trunks. I relise how much I hurt you. and I'm sorry. Please forgive me." Vegeta moved his hand up to Trunks' cheek. He touched him as softly as he could manage. "See I'm not going to hurt you." "No, please go away and leave me alone,...." Trunks pulled away from Vegeta's touch. Vegeta nodded, stood up and walked out of the room. As he opened the door Videl and Gohan were screaming at each other. Trunks winced as he heard Gohan "JUST GO HOME!" Gohan then walked into the room. He put his hand to his forehead and paced a bit. He stoped walking and looked at Trunks. "Trunks I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry you had to hear that" Gohan walked over to Trunks. He sat down on the floor. He placed his hands on Trunks' lap. A few tears rolled down Gohan's cheeks. Trunks placed his hand on top of Gohan's head. It seemed to calm him down. Gohan rested his head on Trunks' lap. "Why does everything have to fall apart Trunks?" Gohan began absentmindedly rubbing Trunks' leg. Trunks rubbed the top of Gohan's head. "I don't know Gohan,... Life's so unfair" Trunks continued to rub Gohan's head. He like feeling his soft black hair. They sat in silence. They were comfortable in each other's company. They were at complete peace together. Nothing else matter for the time being. They both smiled but didn't move. They didn't want to. ------------------------------------ Ninjablue: Well it's a little short but good,...
