Chapter 6, Second Encounter
8:31 a.m. August 1st
A/N: I am going to cut this story shorter than I planned it to be… I apologize to my three fans… I wanted to start a Fruits Basket fan fiction and I already started to plan another DBZ fic. That one is a humor…Its hard to stretch a story if you are running out of ideas! Well, on with the story then!
Yes! Good, keep it up and you'll become the best warrior princess we've ever had!
A rocky ledge collapsed as Storm broke her concentration.
"Master," Strom quietly asked, "I know this seems like a stupid question but, princess of what exactly?"
'Master' sighed, the princess of the empire your parents ruled over and their parents before them, obviously not in this dimension but…
"Were they good leaders? My parents, I mean."
Storm sensed the hesitation in Master's voice as she sought the words to say.
I guess I must put this off no longer. It's time you knew the truth.
She paused,
Your parents were swayed by the evil that tried to sway you… Both Taissa and I spoke to them to try and convince them to be evil or good. Yet… I failed. The other gods sent an assassin to eliminate the line. I wished them to spare you but they refused. Against orders I rescued you, believing I could break the generational sin.
"Master?"
Yes, Storm
"Are you and Taissa goddesses?"
Yes, she and I are the goddesses of evil and good. Our purpose is to guide the rulers of your dimension.
"Am I to kill the assassin?"
Yes, he was trained for the sole purpose of exterminating your family. Now, on with the next lesson…
Storm nodded and began to step towards a waterfall. Her face twisted in concentration, she uttered a cry and thrust her hands upward, using her telekinesis to suspend the water. With a twitch, the thunderous element poured down as it had before.
Master sighed patiently
Funnel your anger and frustration energy into your palms and envision your own hands stopping the waterfall.
Storm clenched her fists at her sides and tried again. Screaming, she threw the water into the air and struggled to keep it at bay.
Yes! Yes! This is great, master excitedly exclaimed. Now allow your anger to drizzle off your hands, letting the waterfall back gently.
Storm obeyed, breathing a sigh of relief, the days training finally complete.
10:28 pm
The night fell soundlessly, emitting a strange aura. A figure appeared in the shadows, materializing a distance away from where Storm was meditating.
"Hello, flower."
"I sensed you Rako; you really should try cloaking your energy level next time."
He hid his surprise, "You- you've trained."
Storm smirked in spite of herself, "You came here to kill me?"
"Yes."
"Well… Come and get me!" Storm rose up and changed into her Spirit form. Having the advantage of surprise, she attacked with her paw. The hologram of Rako flickered as her paw passed through it.
He smirked, "You need to train still, duck." with that he disappeared.
"Damn it!" Storm howled
If you can defeat Vegeta in the gravity room, you have trained enough.
"I don't want to go back there!"
Not to act like a mother but, you really shouldn't be afraid of love. I do believe that Trunks truly does care for you…
Storm sighed, "Do I have a choice?"
No.
She rose up on her haunches and took off into the air.
Do you love him?
She hesitated for a moment, "…yes…"
Good.
The house slowly come into view, Trunks' light being the only on. Taking a lower swoop, Storm cloaked her energy level and saw that his window was open. He was looking out at the crescent moon, staring off into the mysterious twilight. She flew below the window and slowly rose up, to surprise him.
His eyes widened.
"S-Storm?" she put a paw on the windowsill, changing back into her human form. He pulled her into his room.
"Where did you go? I didn't sense your power level, did something happen? Are you alright-" he began rapidly but was silenced by Storm's hand over his mouth.
"I was training. I need to measure my strength by sparing with your father," She said curtly, uncloaking herself, "I…" She hesitated, looking into his eyes. They were close now, almost touching. She did not move or avert her gaze, although her mind swam with painful memories. "I…missed you…."
"I missed you too…" he leaned closer, intending to kiss her. Her stomach wrenched as she turned away.
"I…" Trunks faltered, watching Storm jumping out of his two-story window, landing agley on the ground.
Shit! I screwed up…again! He thought.
Storm was standing under a tree, facing the mountains when Trunks approached her.
No, she thought I can't run from love forever…
He stood behind her, about to apologize. She turned around and did something that would change her life forever. Turning to face him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and (A/N: Starting here, I had some help from my "bersht frien'" Jaime with the rest of the chapter… Sorry for the interruption.) Turning to face him, she wrapped her arms around his neck ad gingerly touched his cheek. Trunks stood awestruck for a moment, not expecting Storm's sudden gesture. Quickly gaining his composure, he rested his hands lightly on her hips. The two stood for what seemed like hours, simply looking into each others eyes. Throwing caution into the wind and abandoning the side of her that doubted the action, Storm leaned toward Trunks and ever so lightly touched he lips to his. As she opened up more to him, Trunks become more daring, deepening the kiss. Storm finally broke and gazed into his deep blue eyes. Trunks leaned toward Storm again, this time, wrapping her in a warm embrace.
She'd never felt so loved.
A/N: sorry again that I stuck that note in the middle of the chapter. I just couldn't write a romance scene that fit Storm… I thought it was excellent, bravo, Jaime! A pity she isn't on She only isn't on here because they don't have a music section… She's obsessed with Green Day so she puts her fic.s on I honestly could've sworn they had a music section! Oh well. I know she's reading this now so "Hi Jaime! Thanks for reading!" and thanks to Thomas Drovin and Nekosune reviewing!
