A/N: Hey everyone! I have enjoyed the feedback :)

I really appreciate all of it! Here is the update, and I hope you enjoy it!

(Sorry it took so long, I have been SUPER busy this summer!)

West City High, Chapter Six | Fire

"Ohh my god, dude, Goten, I have something to tell you!" Trunks damn near skipped to his best friend who was sitting himself at their usual lunch table. Goten slammed is palms down on the table and raised a fist dramatically into the air.

"And I have something-" he then pointed at Trunks, his elbow locked. "-to tell you!" Goten remained frozen in his stance.

Trunks set down his tray and sat down. "Okay, you go first." Trunks laughed at his best friends antics.

"Okay, last night, I really had to use the bathroom. Turns out I needed to take the browns to the super bowl, right? So, anyways, I went to wipe my ass, and I happened to look down into the toilet before I put the paper in there, and my log was totally gone. It was like I had never shit at all!" Goten looked at Trunks with pure bafflement on his face.

"Holy shit, Goten!" Trunks erupted in a fit of laughter while Goten slowly began to feel stupid.

"What are you laughing at Trunks! This is serious! What if I am going crazy and only imagined that I shit but I really didn't?" Goten remained serious.

Trunks was too busy shaking his head while he was laughing as he waved his hands in front of him.

"Goten, you have now experienced a Ghost Shit." Trunks said after he finally caught his breath.

"What? A Ghost Shit?" Goten's posture straightened in confusion. His eyes grew wide as he blinked a few times in thought.

"So, I didn't poop then?"

HAHAHAHA Trunks was once again rolling.

"Of course you did, if you felt it. It just went back into the pipes rather than floating around." Trunks explained before adding, "And you probably need more fiber in your diet."

"So my whole universe-shattering experience turned out to be a nutrition lesson." Goten sat down before he too was giggling.

"So, anyway, what was it that you needed to tell me, Trunks?" Goten suddenly remembered.

"Oh, yeah! Guess who has a new girlfriend?" Trunks beamed at him.

"Bra?" Goten guessed jokingly.

"My sister isn't a lesbian.. I don't think." Trunks chuckled as he wondered where she, Pan, and Marron were.

"Me, dude. Kehki is my girlfriend now. You know she came over, right? Well we decided we liked each other and wanna try it out." Trunks put it shortly,

"Well, if you're happy Trunks. I told my dad about her and who she says she is but even he was somewhat skeptical, and you know how trusting my dad is of anything people say." Goten shrugged and smiled.

"I believe her, Goten. Besides, she is pure sweetness, I don' think she could be mean if she tried." Trunks began to look for her in the lunchroom. Finally he spotted her carrying a sack lunch she prepared for herself. He motioned for her to come over and she nodded in response.

"Hello there!" she giggled as she sat next to her lavender haired boyfriend.

"Well, long time no see! You look very cute today." Trunks gushed over her while Goten exaggeratedly rolled his eyes. Trunks gave Kehki a small kiss on the cheek.

"Get a room!" Pan smacked Trunks on the shoulder with the school news paper.

"Holy! Where did you come from?" Trunks fell over, startled while Goten, Bra, and Marron laughed at him. Kehki sweatdropped with embarrassment.

"You guys were totally making out!" Pan said as she took a seat next to her Uncle Goten. Bra and Marron stepped over to the other side of the table so that they were closer to the group.

"We were not, Pan!" Trunks argued just as he turned to say something to his sister, her outfit blocked all words that he was about to say.

"What in the Peacock are you wearing?" Trunks' eyes were wide as he chuckled a bit. Suddenly everyone's eyes were upon Bra to observe her new outfit.

"Me and Marron picked it out yesterday after school!" Bra began to model it off as if in front of five cameras. Her hair was teased and ratted in the front with clips and jewels clipped into the mess of blue hair while the back of it was crimped and tied into a pony tail at the side. Three Peacock feathers were tucked into the ponytail.

As for her garments, she had blue-green peep toe high heel boots that stopped at her ankles, a tube skirt comprised entirely of sheer fabric and peacock feathers that were strategically placed to cover all provocative areas, and on one hand she wore a white lacy glove that extended to her elbow and had the fingers cut off. Her white and teal sunglasses took up most of her face.

"How are you getting away with wearing these clothes, Bra?" Trunks rested his forehead on two fingers.

"I don't know, but I am sure glad she is!" Goten pumped his eyebrows up and down as he grinned at the Peacock princess who was blushing and sweatdropping like crazy.

"She gets away with it because she is just bad ass like that." Marron chimed in.

"Oh yeah?" Pan challenged. "I bet I could come to school wearing the same shit and no one would say anything to me either!"

"Yes they would!" Bra counter challenged.

"Wanna bet?" Pan raised her fist as lightening bolts seemed to fly away from her in every direction.

"You are so on, you backwoods redneck!" Bra huffed as she folded her arms in such a way that you knew she got it from her father.

"Woah there, Pan, you don't need to dress like Bra! Are you out of your mind!" Goten began to scold his niece while Trunks stood up quietly and motioned for Kehki to do the same.

"What are you implying, Goten? What is so wrong with the way I dress! Weren't you just complementing me on my clothes!" Bra turned her fury onto Goten.

"Let's just get out of here for a little while. Sound good?" Trunks smiled nervously at Kehki who just nodded, still in shock from hearing the current argument taking place in front of her. As the distance between the couple and the arguing group of friends grew, Trunks let out an enormous sigh.

"That was all very strange." Kehki looked over her shoulder only to see Bra and Pan now standing on the table, continuing to shout at one another.

"I know. I'm sorry, Kehki. That happens a lot but I have never seen it carry on that far! I think I get my mild temper from my grandparents, but Bra, she definitely takes after mom and dad." Trunks grinned as they sat down on a bench underneath a great weeping willow.

"Oh, don't worry about it Trunks. I think your friends are great, but I'd much rather be getting to know you since you are my boyfriend after all. What is something interesting about you?" She squinted her eyes a bit and smiled curiously.

Trunks sighed in thought. "Huh? Interesting? Well, you may not believe this, but I am super strong." Trunks swiftly threw his jacket aside and began to flex exaggeratedly. "Excuse me ma'am, but do you have any band-aids?"

"Band-aids?" Kehki questioned confusedly.

"Yeah, because I'm so cut.." Trunks winked as they both began to laugh.

"OH I can see that! Just look at all of those rippling pectorals!"

"But seriously, I'm really super strong. It runs in the family I guess you could say. Watch this." Trunks walked the small distance to Kehki's Audi and lifted it with one arm. Even though Kehki already knew of his super strength, she acted as surprised as ever.

"Man, Trunks! That is incredible!"

"So, there is my interesting bit, what about you? Have anything interesting about you?" Trunks set her car back down in its parking space and jogged back to his girlfriend.

Oh, if you only knew… she thought as she received a small peck on the cheek.

"I have this ability to shape shift ice." Kehki admitted truthfully.

"Wow, really? I have never heard of that before, and I have seen a lot of strange things in my time." He tilted his head in wonder, trying to imagine her making great ice sculptures. "Show me sometime?"

"I'll show you right now." She smiled and scooted closer to him. "Spit into my hand." She held her hand out palm up to him as Trunk's face turned from adoration to damn near disgust at her request.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not going to spit into your hand! That's totally disgusting!" Trunks objected as he jerked his body away from her hand.

"Trust me, just do it!" Kehki demanded playfully.

"Are you sure?" Trunks asked nervously. She nodded in response and he looked into the palm of her hand. With a here-goes-nothing sigh, Trunks spit right into her hand, but before it reached her palm, it froze it mid air. The tiny block of ice began to grow larger as Kehki pushed it forward for her to manipulate it into a tiny Trunks sculpture.

"Wow! That's amazing! I had no idea you could do that! At our next Capsule Corp party, you are totally doing the ice sculpture for the punch bowl." Trunks made a grab for the sculpture but as his skin touched the icy doll, it melted instantly.

"I guess you're just too hot and sexy to touch my ice." Kehki winked as she began giggling feverously.

"Hey, I guess you're right!" Trunks always knew he looked good. Trunks leaned in and hugged Kehki around the shoulder.

"Well, class is about to start. We better head back." Trunks and Kehki rose to their feet and turned toward the building when out of nowhere, a massive explosion blasted behind them, the wind nearly blowing them to the ground. For few seconds, the sky was a hellish black and orange. Trunks turned around instantly as he was smacked in the face with a horrible reality.

"That was my house!" Trunks cried as he jumped into the air. "Kehki, stay here!" Trunks ordered.

"I'm going!" Kehki was now floating along side him.

"You fly?"

"It's something dad taught me." Kehki lied.

"Okay, let's go." Trunks and Kehki burst into speed as they made their way to Capsule Corp. As they landed amongst the fire and rubble, the others all touched down beside them.

"Mom! Dad!" Bra shouted out as she threw her expensive sunglasses aside and looked around for any sign of them. Trunks could sense his father's ki was far away from them, and his mother's was difficult to trace in the chaos. Finally he could sense it.

"She's underground! In the lab, I'm certain!" Goten shouted just before Trunks could find the words. Without instruction, Kehki held her hands out toward the fire.

"Stand back for just a moment!" She demanded as she focused her energy. Suddenly the fire began to freeze and die. Frost covered the entire compound in a matter of seconds as the firemen began to look at each other quizzically.

"Go! Find her!" Kehki lowered her hands as Trunks and Goten were instantly digging to find her. Fearful of her being trapped, they did not want to cause any further potential damage.

"Mom! Where are you?"Trunks shouted frantically, sensing his mother's ki fade a little more each moment. Soon, the boys found their way to his mother's lab, where wires and smoke and ash filled the entire area. The only light came from the tiny holes in the ceiling to the outside caused by the explosion. There was no more house to block the sun.

"Mom!" Trunks shouted even louder. Silence rang loudly in their ears just before Goten heard it.

"She's over there!" Trunks pointed to a corner in the room where Trunks could now faintly see a familiar shadow. Powering up to Super Saiyan for added light, he rushed to her side. When he got to the shadow, what he saw made his stomach turn.

"Oh mom, I'll get you out of here!" Trunks and Goten lifted the heavy sheet of metal off of the blue haired heiress and and tossed it aside. Her legs were mangled and if her back wasn't broken, it would be a miracle.

"Son," Bulma coughed a little blood.

"Don't say anything Mom, just let us help you. This might hurt, but I have got to get you out of here before it collapses on us. Just keep breathing." Trunks trying desperately to remain calm for his mother, he gently scooped her up in his arms and with Goten's aid in clearing a path, they flew to the surface.

Reaching the light, a round of applause sounded out as they emerged with Bulma, but it was short lived as they realized the damage she's undertook. Trunks laid his mother out on the stretcher just as Vegeta crashed to the ground travelling at top speed. He sensed something happening to his wife's Ki and immediately put a halt to his training. Upon seeing his wife, nothing but fear and panic filled his senses as he rushed to her side. Doing his best to be as gentle as a warrior could be, he tenderly grabbed onto Bulma's hand and gave it a slight squeeze.

"Bulma, how did this happen?" Vegeta questioned her, but he didn't expect any answers as he looked into the eyes of the only woman to not tame his fire, but burn right along with it.

"Vegeta, I.." Bulma trailed off as she winced in pain.

"Shh. Don't speak, just heal. I am here, and I don't leave you until you are fully recovered. I mean it. Who ever did this to you will pay." Vegeta assumed she was attacked.

"No one did this to me, hun." She coughed up more blood and squeezed tightly to his hand. "It was just an accident." She whispered. Vegeta said nothing. He merely knelt down and kissed her slightly on the forehead.

The sight nearly broke Kehki's heart in half.

What is this feeling I have? Pity? This man is single handedly responsible for the end of my entire civilization. He and his men did things to me that I wish I could never remember, but the scars are scratched too deep into my memory. And yet, here he is at the side of this weak Earth woman as if she is the only shining golden star in his sky. What happened over the years? I mustn't be too soft. I need to show him that his debts are to be paid. NO! He hasn't tears enough for what he's done to me. I will show him NO MERCY!
