"Uhhhh…my head." Kiwi forced her eyes open and sat up. Big mistake. She fell back down against the bed where she lay; her head felt like someone was smashing it with a sledgehammer. Forcing herself to sit up slowly she took a glance at her surroundings. She was in a room that looked oddly familiar. Standing up shakily it hit her. She was at Capsule Corps! The shock of that fact caused her to lose what little strength she had and she went crashing to the floor.
At that moment the door opened and Trunks walked in, just in time to see Kiwi plunge to the ground. He was at her side instantly, his arm around her waist. Slapping her lightly on the head he growled, "what the hell is your problem? Can't you see you're too weak?" Kiwi rolled her eyes and pushed herself away from him. "Get a grip. Why are we here?" he grabbed her arm and snarled, "I'll tell why were here. You were flirting with the person who is destroying the future. You kissed the enemy. Then you went and tried to kill us when they attacked."
Kiwi snorted. "Well that's not my fault. I'm not the one who blasted the building apart. After 17 kicked me in the shoulder I don't remember anything. Soooo… I kissed him? Too bad I don't remember. 17 is very handsome." Trunks let out a squawk. "What? I should of left you at home. You obviously don't know how to handle the past. I'm leaving. You're beginning to disgust Me." he began walking away but Kiwi grabbed him from behind and wrapped her arms around his waist. Resting her head on his shoulder she said teasingly, "Awwwww! That's so sweet. You were jealous. Give me a hug."
Trunks tried to pry her arms off of him but it was to late. At that moment Bulma burst into the room. "Trunks!" she stopped short and blushed deeply when she saw the two teens. Trunks turned red. "I-it's not what you think. She's, I-I-I…" Kiwi let him go and said, "Hey! Any news?" Bulma nodded. "Yeah, I think we were going to visit Goku. Wanna come?"
Half an hour later Kiwi sat in a plane with people she barely knew. Trunks was on the phone with Bulma. Gohan and his mother were sitting quietly next to each other and Krillen sat in front of her. "So your Kiwi right?" Kiwi blushed lightly and looked up to see the small man watching her. "Yes I am." He nodded. "How do you know Trunks?" she smiled slightly. "I'm Trunks' surrogate sister. The androids killed my parents. Well, it was only 17, really." Krillen frowned and said, "I'm sorry to hear that. 17 is the guy right?"
"Yes. I can't wait to get back to the future. As soon as I do, I'm going to destroy him. He's taken so much away from me already. I hate him." "It must be hard to lose a loved one." Gohan's voice was soft and semi comforting. "Yeah…"
Flashback
"Gohan! Your home." Kiwi threw herself off her bed and onto Gohan. He laughed and closed her bedroom door. "Of course I came back. I can't just leave you." Kiwi sniffed. "Hmmm… I'm always scared when you and Trunks leave to find the androids. What if you two never come back? Then mom and I will be by our selves." Gohan brushed a kiss across her forehead. "Don't worry. Hey its late and your mom wanted you to be in bed already." Kiwi pouted and draped her arms around his neck. "You're leaving so soon?" he laughed. "I'm afraid so. Tomorrow Trunks and I are going to look again." He tossed her on the bed.Turning to look at him she whispered, "I like you a whole lot Gohan. Don't…" her voice trailed off and Gohan sighed. "Don't worry. Then you'll get those wrinkles." She grabbed her pillow and threw it at him. "HEY! I'm only 14. I'm too young and beautiful to wrinkle. Now get out before mom shows up. I'll see you at the usual place later." He threw the pillow back and let the room.
End of flashback"Kiwi!" Kiwi jumped nearly a foot off the ground. "WHA…!" Trunks rolled his eyes. "You did your little spacing out thing. Here look at this." He handed her a picture. She gasped. "Hey! That's the time machine. But it looks so old." Trunks nodded grimly. "Yeah, we're going to meet mom there come on."
Trunks helped Kiwi to her feet and the two teens made their way to the back of the plane. "I'm going to!" Gohan leaped to his feet and ran after them. "Gohan, get back here now! Gohan!" but Chichi was too late. They were already gone.
"Have the androids messed up your world bad?" Gohan, Kiwi thought, was just a little too curious for her liking. As Trunks went on to explain the future Kiwi kept on flying deep in thought. She needed to let go of the past. It was killing her softly like tobacco. If only she had someone to talk to. Mom would be sympathetic but only after she yelled at her for being with Gohan. Trunks would most likely kill this Gohan here, not caring he was just 10 years old. When it came to guys Trunks was oddly protective of her.
She sighed. Life was much too complicated. When she finally got back to the future what would she do? Rebuild her life? What life. The only time she had ever had life was when Gohan was around. When he had been alive she would look forward to his coming home and training with him. He had taught her everything she knew. Trunks being the curmudgeon that he was never wanted to train her.
"Trunks, isn't the time machine nearby Ginger town?" Kiwi felt apprehension hit her quit suddenly. Trunks shrugged. "I think it is. Why?" she had no chance to reply. Gohan yelled out. "Look there it is, oh and there's Bulma. I'll go flag her down." Kiwi touched down softly and nearly collapsed against the ground. Keeping up with two saiyans ate up most of her energy.
Warm arms encircled her waist keeping her from falling over. "Kiwi, I should have carried you." She turned to glare at Trunks and tried to ignore her thumping heart. "Ya think? Come on let's go check this thing out." "Trunks! Honey it's me! Your mother! What's this? I don't get hellos anymore?" Trunks blushed from embarrassment and went to greet Bulma while Kiwi went to the T.M.1 it was old and rusty. Wiping some grime off of it she found what she had been looking for. Hope was written on the side and just below it was a picture of a stick figure woman killing a stick figure man. "Well, this is our machine. See? I remember Trunks writing that and I drew that when he got home." Bulma laughed softly. "Hey look! It's been melted from the inside." Gohan was poking his head into a large hole.
Kiwi shrugged. It really didn't matter to her why the T.M. was here. "Trunks, can I go to the town nearby? I'm hungry." Trunks glared at her. "I knew I shouldn't have brought you. Go on. I'll call you to let you know where we are. You do have your phone right?" Kiwi grinned and said sweetly, "but of course. I'll see you in a little while."
She gave him a quick hug and kiss (on the cheeks folks, on the cheek.) before decapsolizing her air bored and blasting off.
YEAH! Chapter 3 is finally up. Oh and in the last chappie it was Trunks who was jealous. Ha! Bet u people weren't expecting that. Huh, huh, huh! Sorry I'm writing this at 11:23 pm and I'm deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad tired. So I shall leave you to pine for the next chapter.
Oh B.T.Y I'm trying really hard to keep this story with the story line from the manga/ anime, but it's becoming increasingly difficult since I have absolutely none of the episodes or any of the manga. Just some stuff from some old Shonen Jump's. so forgive me if things in the story get kinda…weird. Any tidbits would be helpful. (hint, hint, hint) G'night peeps.
