Hello, sorry it took so long. Thank you for the wonderful reviews.


When they had reached Gohan and Kairu's house, Trunks and Gohan watched as Kairu went in.

"Bye Trunks, bye Gohan." She said convincingly, walking in the house quietly. Trunks and Gohan left after saying goodbye to her as well.

"Kairu, is that you?" she heard Chi Chi's voice from a different room.

"Yeah, it's me, Mom." She responded, taking off her shoes. Chi Chi walked into the room where Kairu was.

"Where is Gohan?"

"I don't know, he left."

"Gohan." She said sadly. "I wish he wouldn't leave." Her eyes strayed to a picture in a frame of herself, Goku, and Gohan as a child.

"It's OK, mom. He can take care of himself. He's so much like dad…or at least I think he is." Chi Chi smiled for a moment.

"Well…Kairu?"

"Yes mom?"

"Next time you see him, I'm sure you will before I do, tell him to be careful. And that I always love him."

"Yes ma'am!" Kairu saluted her. Chi Chi gave her a hug. But inside, Chi Chi was wondering. When should I tell her? I wonder how she will react. I guess I'll know when the time is correct.

LATER THAT DAY

Kairu slipped out of the house. She ran a bit, and then took off. It was getting dark, and she hoped Trunks and Gohan were still out. She had no idea how to find them. Her training was not as complete as Gohan's.

In reality, she could only fly and fight a bit. She wasn't too horribly good at anything. In fact, she stunk at fighting.

Soon, she gave up. She flew back home and hoped Chi Chi hadn't missed her. She snuck in the back door.

"KAIRU, WHERE WERE YOU?" Chi Chi asked. She looked frustrated.

"Just outside."

"Kairu, you need to stop doing that! I can't stand it when you do that! I don't want to lose you!"

"I just wanted to find Gohan!"

"I don't want you going out by yourself again!"

"Relax mom. She'll be fine." said Gohan.

"Eh, Gohan, when did you get here?" Kairu asked, looking to where he was standing.

"Just now. Why?"

"Oh GOHAN!" Chi Chi cried, and she hugged him.

"Hi mom. How are you today?"

"Oh Gohan, I'm fine. What about you?"

"I'm doing great. Got anything to eat?" Kairu rolled her eyes.

Just like her father?

THE NEXT DAY

"AAAAAAAAA!" Trunks yelled. Kairu watched from a bit away, sitting in the air. She didn't want to be seen. However, Gohan knew perfectly well she was there. He just didn't mention it for Trunks and Kairu's sakes. It would inhibit Trunks' ability to transform. I'm sure of it. And she just wants to be a secret.

"Hey, not bad. I didn't know he was this far along." Gohan said to himself from his position sitting crossed-legged on the floor.

"AAA, NOOOOOOO!" Trunks said. Kairu gasped. He was almost there! Maybe she would become a Super Saiyan one day.

But she didn't know she never could.

Trunks' anger faded, and he fell to his knees.

"That's OK, Trunks. You did well." Gohan said, getting up.

"But I didn't do it!"

"I didn't expect you to. You still have some training left to do."

"Great."

"OK, then. Let's get some of that training started, if you're that impatient."

"Yeah!" Trunks smiled at Gohan. They trained for a while as Kairu looked on. She was mentally training herself. Maybe it would help?

Soon they were flying at one another. Trunks punched and Gohan blocked. They neared the edge of a cliff that led to water nearby. Trunks was doing pretty good until Gohan quickly moved behind him and kicked him in the face, and sent Trunks flying into the water.

"Uhg," he coughed. "Gohan, help me!"

"OK! Make circles with your arms and kick real hard!"

"Agh, you bum!" Trunks cried.

"No! Gohan, help him!" Kairu said to herself. When it was obvious that he wasn't, Kairu flew forward quickly.

"Kairu, leave him." Gohan said without turning to see her coming.

"But Gohan!"

"Just let him do it himself." He said calmly as Trunks nearly drowned. "That's it, big circles! Now you're getting it!" Kairu stood behind her brother and waited. Trunks swam to the shore and Kairu flew down to help him out. As soon as he was on land, he began coughing.

"Why didn't you help me?"

"I'm sorry, Gohan wouldn't let me." Gohan came over with a towel and offered it to him.

"First…you almost let me drown…and then you hand me a towel?"

"Yup." Gohan said, smiling. Trunks took it and dried himself off.

"Whatever." Kairu said. "Sorry Trunks."


Um, so there you go. I'll try to update sooner...
