Now father's leaving me

Trunks could feel his father's life force decreasing. The tugging in his heart got greater. Pan could see his pain. " Father…" He said.

Bra looked at her brother… " You mean he's…"

" Yes Bra… it's time."

So Trunks and the others went to see Vegeta. He was on his deathbed. Bra was starting to cry.

" Oh father… I don't want to lose you now."

" You have to be strong my princess. Don't worry Trunks will be here to protect you. Don't worry now." Vegeta said weakly

" Oh father."

" Father… don't worry about the earth. I will give it all to protect it."

" I'm sure you will.. You are strong my son. cough"

Trunks was trying with all his strength to hold back his tears.

" Don't be sad… at least now… I know I will be able to see that clown Kakarot again… and then I'll show you."

Trunks was laughing inside. " I'll miss you father…"

" Ya me too."

" And the rest of us." Gohan said.

" You brats take care."

" We sure will."

" Farewell…" With that Vegeta passed on.

" FATHER!" Cry Bra. She began to cry over her father's body. Pan tried her best to comfort her. But in the end she ended up crying too. You could see it in Trunks' face… the pain he was so unwilling to share openly. But Gohan noticed. In a semi rage Trunks left the room. Gohan followed him.

Trunks didn't go too far. " Damn it!" He said.

" Trunks… you ok?"

Gohan noticed that Trunks was now crying. " Darn it! Why do these thing happen to me… no more importantly why do they happen to Bra."

" Trunks…."

" Tell me Gohan… Why is this happening? Now that father is gone all Bra has left is me and Goten. But that isn't going to help her long I'm afraid… if I can't beat this thing… NO what am I saying… I WILL beat this thing."

" Trunks… you said it yourself… the Saiyan's never believed in medicine. If this disease doesn't have a cure then you will…"

" Die. Yes I know. Darn it! I guess I'm just not strong enough."

" Trunks you got to tell her."

" No Gohan! That's the last thing I want to do! I don't want her to know. She doesn't need to know."

" You're only lying to yourself. Your Saiyan pride is shielding you from the truth. Your sister needs to know… and if you tell her maybe.. just maybe she can help you find a cure for this thing."

" Maybe your right Gohan… but I have a feeling that there is something I'm missing.."

" Missing like what?"

" An event… or the arrival of someone."

Just then another attack hit Trunks. Trunks fell to the floor and he clenched his heart. It was obvious that he was in a lot of pain. Just at that moment the worst thing that could possibly happen in Trunks' eyes did happen. Bra came in!

" OH GOD TRUNKS!"

Hey everyone. There you have it chapter 4. I know this is sad… but don't worry as things go on things will get better.. trust me. Well please review.
