Queen Luana: Here we are, back again. It's not much chapters to come anymore, so I'll try to write real quick. Lol. Anyway, once again sorry to those who are disappointed in not having a happy ending. That's just not me! You can check my other two fics The Ring and Hide and Seek. They didn't have happy endings either. So, since the last chapter ended pretty happy, prepare from some major twists here!

Completion

Bulma stared down at her cappuccino and slowly turned her spoon round and round in it. It was now noon and everything was quiet and peaceful inside her house. It truelly seemed the curse had let go of her and now she could live on as if nothing had ever happened. Except for one thing.

Trunks.

Ever since the moment they had found him on the stairs he had been quiet and reserved. Bulma had brought him back to his room and he hadn't come out just once for a sandwich or a glass of water. It was as if her son wasn't there at all. The person sitting in her son's bedroom was someone different.

She blew the steam off her cappucino and sipped it carefully. Vegeta had been awkward all morning has well. He wished not to speak to her and was wandering around the house constantly. Suppose the curse of the deceised Saeki family had truelly left them alone, they had left scars as well. Little scars to Bulma, as not being able to enter dark rooms and all. Bigger ones with her family.

She asumed her son had been frightened so badly he was now afraid to be around anyone, even his own mother. Why had he been sitting there watching in the first place? Deep inside Bulma blamed herself for being a bad mother, for the first time in her life.

Bulma shook the thought away and tried to concentrate on her work again. The papers of a new coffee machine were spread in front of her on her desk but she knew it was close to helpless. She had been staring at them for hours and hadn't made the slightest improvement. She stood up and left the room with a moan.

Electricity was fixed and the houserobots were back at work but Bulma refused to use more energy than necessairy. The last thing she wanted was last night to repeat itself. She still shivered at the memory of Kayako's death. A 360° twisted neck, the power that had been asked to perform it. But well, if you're angry, you can do terrible things. But where had Toshio been at that moment? He had vanished as soon as his mother came plumping down the stairs. Was he upstairs? In bath? Or already dead?

Bulma filled another cup with steamy coffee and then left the kitchen where she nearly bumped into Vegeta.

"Oh, careful!" she said and quickly held her hand underneath the cup, as a few drops spilled from the edge. Vegeta only shrugged and walked on. He had changed too, but not as scary as Trunks had. Bulma went up the stairs and knocked on her son's door.

"Trunks? It's your mum," she said and carefully opened the door. "I made you a cappuccino." Trunks was sitting on the edge of his desk, staring blankly ahead. Bulma walked in and placed the cup next to him. "I figured you might've been thirsty." She then sat down on the other side. "What a night, huh?" she said and waved her legs from one side to another. "I hope you had some sleep this morning."

Trunks only sat there, he hadn't given the cup or his mum a look. The only move coming from him was his chest moving up and down at every breath he took. Bulma sighed deeply and wrapped on arm around his shoulders.

"Look, honey, what you saw last night…" She shook her head trying to find the words and her hear swept from one side to another. "That's over. That won't happen again. She's gone."

"Last night wasn't complete."

Bulma raised an eyebrow at her son's sudden reaction. That and his voice also had a very cold tone.

"It didn't get a chance to be fulfilled," Trunks continued. The words that reached his mouth nearly seemed to roll over his lips, as if someone else was saying them. "But tonight it will, the grudge beared for so many years shall be exposed." Her son nearly frightened her. She never heard him talk like that before, and then knowing what he was talking about. The grudge?

She ran her hand through his lavender hair. "You should get some rest honey. I bet you didn't really get a chance to sleep last night."

"Last night…"

"Yes, let's not talk about it anymore," Bulma said quickly and jumped to her feet. "Get some sleep." She almost ran towards the door but was able to control herself and left in a steady pace. With a soft click the door shut and she hurried back to her study.

Bulma was as happy as could be when she finally finished the coffee machine. After tasting its first cup of espresso Bulma concluded she had done a good job and went to the living room to watch some TV. But not before she had checked on Trunks.

In the hallway upstairs she found Vegeta leaving his son's bedroom, clearly upset. "Something's wrong with that kid," he uttered as he strode pass her. "Terribly wrong." Confused as she was she opened her son's bedroom door and gasped for air.

The entire four walls of his chamber were drawn full of cats, playing cats, happy cats and dead cats. Complete cats or only their smiling heads or disemboweled cats… Standing on his bed, Trunks brought the final touch to a happy running cat.

"Trunks, what are you doing!" Bulma cried and pulled her son away. But just as she placed him on the ground he already lept back onto his bed and continued pressing the thick black pensil onto the wall and drawing bold lines. Bulma was clueless. What in the world had happened to her son last night? Who or what had he become?

She stumbled backwards out of Trunks' bedroom and closed the door. Was the curse really gone? Bulma ran a hand through her ruffled hair. "When are they finally going to leave us alone…"

Queen Luana: I'm gonna stop it here, cause I'm thinking of two different endings… and I just can't figure out which one to pick! Well, until I do, please review! And animeguys4me, I'm going over to a friend in a couple of minutes to watch horror movies all day long (yeey!) and it includes House of Wax and White Noise. So, after The Grudge is finished, I'll start working on those… I hope.
