Falling Away From Me- By:chibikid
Everything is red. The walls are doused in blood and fire: the blood from my friends and maybe my family.
I hope not. I can't live without my family. I need to find mom and dad.
The floor around me is on fire, so much so that I can barley move without hurting myself. But I don't care about burning myself; My goal is finding my family.
The heat is unbearable, and yet, I still keep searching for them: Hoping that they're still alive, and quietly sobbing to myself. But I knew their fate.
I slowly walk into the cockpit of the now crashing ship.
"Oh Kami, no" I say with my gaze fixed upon my desecrated father.
His pale figure glows brightly as the fire creeps slowly towards him. His now lifeless eyes are stained red as blood seeps from the wound a chunk of metal caused. It has embedded itself into his skull killing him instantly.
"Dad" I cry into my hands, as the reality of my fathers death settles
inside me.
I know he's dead. I know it. Not because of the piece of metal jutting out of his head; Not because of the blood surrounding his body. It's because of the smell around him. It's death. He reeks of it, just as the ship does.
I turn around, slowly acknowledging his death, and I begin to search for my mother.
Hoping..
No. Hope has betrayed me. Wishing, rather, that her fate isn't as gruesome, or that she's still alive.
"Ianzu, Wake up. Ianzu." I hear a scared voice say, pulling me from the hellish dream.
"Hey babe" I said sleepily. "what's wrong? You look like you saw a ghost or something."
"You had another nightmare, huh kid" He asked me, trying to calm down.
It's sweet really. How much he cares for me. With both of his dad's egos. I mean Goten is nice, but T.K. inherited Trunks' bad side, and yet, somehow is still as sweet as can be.
"Yeah" I said, still caught up in my thoughts. I put my head on his chest to listen to his heart beat. It always calmed me down after I had a nightmare.
"I'm gonna talk to dad in the morning about your dreams, kiddo. That's final. I care too much to let you go through the pain"
Wait, did he just say pain?
"I know I'd have nightmares too if I saw my fathers die" He was
continuing.
"How did you know what it feels like." I interrupted. "I mean how do you know that I'm in pain every time I have a nightmare"
I remember telling him that I had nightmares and what they were about, but I never told him that every time I had one it hurt.
"Kid, let me tell you something." He said calmly. "Every night you have a bad dream, or can't sleep because of the pain"
Hold on, I never told him that.
"I feel it." I know I looked confused by now.
"It's because of our bond, babe. Once Saiyans mark
their mate they're bound for life." He said stroking the scar on my right shoulder, where he marked me, "and can tell if they're in pain or suffering from loss."
"Oh okay, I understand now." I said realizing, the truth in what he said.
"This time you talk to your father, be nice." I told him. "I love you,
and I want you to at least live long enough to get me pregnant."
As soon as the last word came out of my mouth he blushed.
"And besides" I smirked. "the last time you got mouthy with
him, well you remember don't you"
"Yes I do." he said rubbing his jaw. "All too well."
Last time T.K. got mouthy with his father, well, let's just say Trunks was sleeping on the couch and T.K. was in the hospital for a week due to several broken bones and a dislocated jaw.
"Hey, I've got an idea." I perked up. "How about talking to Goten, or Grampa Geta.
I'm sure they can help." I said looking up at my koi.
"Humph, I can't believe your gonna take the pleasure of pestering my father away from me." He said pushing some hair out of his eyes.
I tilted my head to the side and looked at T.K. like I was confused.
"Babe, you look like a confused puppy." he said.
"Yep, and I'm your confused puppy." I said, then laid my head back on his chest.
" And you always will be." He said, pulling my head up to level his, and
kissing me.
I love the way he loves me. He knows the right way to kiss me, and the right way to hold me.
He broke the kiss to say "love ya kiddo, now lets get some sleep."
"Love you too babe, night" I said resting my head on the uppermost part of his chest.
