Chapter 21:Couples
Trunks woke up but kept his eyes closed, thinking about
what happened last night was just a dream. That was until he felt the light
touch of feathers on his shoulder. Opening his eyes revealed Onaka sound asleep
next to him. Reaching over he touched her hair gently. He wasn't sure what
happened the night before, but he respected her wishes. She stirred slightly
under his touch.
Stretching she looks at him, "Hey Trunks." She says in a groggy voice.
He brushed a piece of hair out of her face, "Hey Onaka. How'd you sleep?"
Before they had gone to bed the night before, Onaka had put back on her shirt
then collapsed on to the bed.
"I slept okay. I'm still kind of tired though." She put one arm over him and nestled her head in his chest. He put his arm over her holding her close. Soon she was asleep again.
When
she woke up again she found herself alone in the bed. She glanced at the clock
and it was almost noon. Deciding she'd better get up she dressed and crept over
to the door. Just as she was about to open it Trunks' voice came over the intercom.
Jumping she looked at it and scowled.
Going over to it she sighed, "Hey Trunks." She says tiredly.
"Oh good. You're up. You want to go
do something?"
"Yeah, I guess. I have to take
a shower and get dressed first though."
Quietly he asked, "Do you want some company?"
She stared at the intercom in shock, Did he really just ask me that? she thought. "Umm…"
"You know I was just joking,"
he said with a nervous laugh.
"Um, yeah. I'm going to go take a shower now." She said nervously. Turning off the intercom quickly she headed towards the door. Not even bothering to look down the hallway she went to her room and took a hot shower.
Once
dressed she went downstairs and found Trunks watching TV. Deciding she wasn't
hungry she sat next to him.
"So, what did you have in mind
to do today?"
"Nothing really. I just wanted to
get out of the house and thought that maybe you'd want to also."
Nodding she smiled, "That sounds like a good plan."
Smiling back at her he shut off the TV and got up. Once outside Onaka stretched
her wings and looked around, "Where to?"
He shrugged, "No idea."
"Then why'd you suggest we go
flying?" she asked crossing her arms.
"I thought you'd have an idea."
She rolled her eyes, "Great…" she thought for awhile, "How about we go bug
Rin."
Remembering
the last time he saw Rin he went red in the face. Seeing his reaction she
remembered the day before also, "Okay, maybe not. Where would you like to go?"
Looking up at the sky, "I don't know. Lets go fly around and see where we end
up."
"Sounds good to me." Opening
her wings she took off in to the air. Following her he smiled, "After you."
Trunks looked around and headed towards the country. Following him she pulled up to him and gave herself an extra boost of power to send herself past him. So, she wants to race? he thought. He powered up and easily caught up with her. She turned her face and grinned at him, angling her wings for less wind resistance she took off again. Shaking his head he went after her again.
When
Onaka was little her parents brought her to a beautiful valley. Now that she
thought about it, she figured that's where she was probably found. Deciding to
go find the valley she went in the general direction and saw it. Feeling
Trunks' ki catching up to her, she landed in the valley. There were flowers all
over the ground. In the meadow there was one tree surrounded by tulips. Seeing
it she fell to her knees.
Landing behind her Trunks walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
Onaka looked at the ground, "This is where I was found, "She whispered, her eyes filling with tears, "Trunks, what if they never come for me?" he went down onto his knees, "I'll be here for you. Please Onaka, stop crying. I'll always be here for you." He whispered rubbing her back gently. Turning her face she cried into his chest. He continued rubbing her back until she stopped. He lifted her face so she'd look at him. He kissed away her tears and finally her lips.
Onaka looked at him, "I think…I think I'm in love with you Trunks. Not like a crush, but really in love."
He looked into her eyes, "I love you also Onaka. I'd do anything for you. Remember that."
She gently kissed his lips, never wanting him out of her life and wishing that nothing would change between them.
She broke the kiss with a small laugh.
"Remember when Rin and Goten spent the night and I told you we'd have fun this summer?"
"Yeah."
"Well this is the most fun I've had all my life."
Trunks held her in his arms, "Me too, me too."
Onaka gave him a quick hug and stood up. Looking down at him she smiled, "Let's go somewhere."
He stood up confused by her sudden mood change, "Where do you want to go?"
She thought for a little while, "Let's go to Rin's house. I want to tell her about us."
He smiled weakly, "All right, if you want." He remembered how she'd laughed at him.
She gave him a quick kiss, "Thanks." She took off into the air. When they got to Rin's house Onaka landed first and knocked on the door. Rin opened it a little and looked at them.
Onaka put a hand on the door, "Hey, let us in."
She looked around nervously, "Um, right now isn't such a good time. So yeah…bye."
Onaka put her foot in the door before it closed, "What's wrong, Rin? What—"her voice trailed off as she heard someone talking. Trying to remember the voice she lifted an eyebrow, "Is that Goten?"
Rin turned red, "Um…yeah."
"Well let us in then. C'mon it's hot out here!"
Rin's head slipped back into the house. There was some mumbling, and then the door opened.
Onaka and Trunks walked in. Goten stood next to Rin nervously.
"So…what's going on?" asked Onaka suspiciously.
"Nothing. What makes you ask a question like that?" Asked Rin with a nervous laugh.
Onaka rolled her eyes, "Give it up. Spill it"
Becoming defensive Rin glared at her, "What do you care? What's going on with you and Trunks huh?"
It was Onaka's turn to turn red, "Well, um, you see…" She stuttered.
Rin just crossed her arms and watched Onaka with a raised eyebrow waiting for an explanation.
Getting upset Onaka looked her in the eye, "Trunks and I are going out." She said defiantly.
Rin uncrossed her arms and nodded, "Yeah…well…Goten and I are going out also." She grabbed Goten by the arm pulling him up. Goten looked around confused.
"Lucky you." Onaka said sarcastically. "You got a real catch there." Goten looked hurt, "Hey!"
Onaka and Rin ignored him. Rin retaliated, "Don't make fun of my guy! At least my guy…"
Onaka stared at her, "Your guy what? Has the I.Q. of a rock!"
Goten looked at her really hurt, "Onaka?" he asked in a sad voice.
She glared at him then saw his face and softened, "Sorry Goten. No offense."
Smiling, "All right" he answered.
She turned back to Rin, "So how long have you two been going out?"
"For a couple of days," she answered testily. "How about you two?"
"Since we got out of the chamber."
Rin smiled, "Cool. C'mon lets go to the living room."
She and Onaka headed into the living room leaving Trunks and Goten in the front hall.
Trunks turned to Goten, "Do you understand what just happened?" Goten just shook his head.
"Oh well. I guess we should go into the living room." With that Trunks and Goten went in.
So yeah, there's only on more chapter left!! Hopefully it won't take me as long to update. Please RR.
