Title: Never again.
Author: Loreleithe1st
Summary: Trunks' POV on his mother relationship. Songfic.
Rating: T
Pairing(s): Bulma / Yamcha, mentions of Goku / Vegeta
Feedback: desired.
Author's notes: This is my first complete fanfic I am totally prepared for bad reviews, but it was just an idea that came to me. I hope you enjoy the idea more that the actual writing. Please review but try not to be to harsh. I've heard the song a few times, and I thought of the idea of Bulma being beaten by her drunken partner. But I like the Goku and Vegeta pairing, they so belong together (sorry), so the partner became Yamcha because he's as annoying as Chi-Chi is.
Disclaimer: I do not own or will ever own Dragonball Z, it belongs to Akira Toriyama. I will not be making anything from this fic and I have no money so don't sue. If I did own it Vegeta and Goku would be together and Chi-Chi would died giving birth to Goten, 'cos Dragonball isn't right without Goten and Trunks.I also don't own the song 'Never Again' as sung by Nickleback.
He's drunk again it's time to fight
She must of done something wrong tonight
The living-room becomes a boxing-ring
It's time to run when you see him clicking his hands
She's just a woman
Never again
They're fighting again.
Surprisingly enough it's not 'Kāsan and 'Tōsan. It's the scar-faced weakling, as father calls him.'Kāsan started going out with him shortly after she was told about father and Goku-san's relationship. Mother's relationship with father was complex but at the same time simple. To everyone they were together because they loved each other. In reality, they were together for the sex, but they did have feelings for each other, even if father denies it.
I hear her scream from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries at me go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll end up
Dead in his hands
She's just a woman
Never again
Been there before but not like this
Seen it before but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Back to the current situation. The weakling has not long come back from a party and is pissed out of his head. Mother said something that started an argument. This has happened many time before each time is the same, he beats her up, leaves her on the floor and goes to bed. I always go down, after he's asleep, to find her crying curled up on the floor, blood around her. I give her only half a senzu as she never accepts a full one, knowing how important they are. It cures most of the open cuts and breaks leaving the bruises as evidence, that something has gone on. She always begs me not to tell anyone, especially Vegeta, I'm also not allowed to do anything to him, pity.
Just tell the nurse you slipped and fell
it starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room with those hands
Looking just as sweet as he can
Never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen him this mad
She's just a woman
Never again
Never again
Fathers a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard don't hit a lady
Kicking your ass would be a pleasure
There's been a few times that she was still in a bad way after half a bean, and a half bean can fix a broken neck, ask Gohan. I've had to call for medical assistance them few times. I could of taken her, but it looks a bit strange seeing a nine year old kid carrying their mother bridal style into the ER.
I don't know how she can put up with it, it's been happening so often, that if he had Saiyan blood she would have been able to kick his ass easily at half strength.
I would just love to kick his ass, it would be almost therapeutic, the amount of times he has insulted my father, and mother has let him get away unpunished. But the only person to beat seven kinds of shite out of him should be mother. It's a shame he's stronger.
I hope she wises up soon.
He's drunk again it's time to fight
The same old shit just on a different night
She's grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out, how fucking tough is this man
Pulls the trigger fast as she can
Never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have i ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Not again!
This is getting beyond a joke. I will sit this one out for now but the next one I'm kicking his ass from here to my fathers, then he can dish out the pain, as he learnt his torture from the best. Frieza.
Bang
Shit!
That was a gun shot. I'm out of bed in .2 seconds flat and racing downstairs. There in the living-room is my mother on the floor again, cradling a broken arm, bruises already forming on her face and arms. I look to her other hand and see the small handgun, 'Where'd she get that!'
On the floor in front of her is Yamcha, dead. The bullet going straight to his heart. I'm in shock, she really did it. She fought back. It's a shame he died so quickly though it would have been better if he suffered, the way he made my mother suffer.
Soon Goku and my father appear via teleportation. They quickly take in the scene in front of them and ask me what's going on. I tell them about Yamcha's habit of drinking, then coming home and beating mother. Father is fuming and so is Goku-san, father's emotions are making Goku's worse. Goku picks up my mother and Vegeta puts a hand on his shoulder, I run and grab a hold of his gi bottoms and he raises his first two fingers to his forehead and we fazed out.
We reappeared at the hospital and mother's injuries are once again seen to. Goku went back to CC to call the police and explain the corpse in the living-room. I stayed with father, waiting for any info on mother. The injuries being not just physical but mentally as well, she had just killed Yamcha. He may have been an asshole but he was still one of her oldest friends, of course it's going to shake her. I just want her to get better soon.
Half an hour later Goku appeared telling my father of what the police were doing about Yamcha. A few minutes later a doctor came out and told us that mother was fine but they would like to keep an eye on her and monitor her mental state.
-few days later-
Father and the Sons have moved in temporarily while mother recovers, I think Otosan and Goku-san feel guilty for not noticing sooner about Yamcha's beatings. Well, they have been going on for a while. Everyone was amazed to find that it was Yamcha who put Mother in the hospital and not 'tōsan, as 'tōsan's temper is infamous among the Z-fighters. Yamcha's funeral was yesterday, everyone turned up, even 'tōsan. They paid they last respects, even if he didn't deserve it, and left to meet at CC for the wake. Okāsan is coping, that's all I can really say. She shot her friend and partner and has to come to terms with that. But she's not alone she has a lot of friends and family who are there for her and will listen to her problems. She should be fine.
I Hope!
