Chapter 2: Hotaru's mistake

~look at me, you may think you see, who I really am, but you'll never know it....~

Hotaru was feeling really lonely, and she had refused to open up to anyone. From Vegeta's POV this girl was very strange, and yet she was hiding something. Something he wouldn't know for a while......

~everyday, it's as if I play a part~

She walked around like a wind up doll, doing everything she needed, then curling up in her room in Capsule Corp to think. (Vegeta' sPOV) She is acting like she has to do these things, and only this stuff, like she's on stage or something. I want to know what that onna is hiding......

~now I see, if I wear a mask, I can fool the world, but I cannot fool my, heart.....~

(Hotaru POV) 'I know that I am starting to fall in love with Trunks, but how do I tell him that? Will he even under stand? I feel so vulnerable.....'

~who is that girl I see? Staring straight back at me. When will my reflection show who I am inside?~

I am a different person on the outside than on the inside, and I know it, but nobody else does yet. When I look in the mirror, I see two different people. The me on the inside and the me on the outside.....How will I be able to break it to them? That l'm two different people? I know, I'll tell Bulma first......

~I am now in a world where I have to hide my heart, and what l believe in, but somehow, l will show the world, what's inside my heart, and be loved for who l am!~

I have to hide who I am, and l don't like that, but soon, l won't have to hide anymore. l can just be me, but this will take a while... I wish that I had someone like Puu or Michiru or Haruka here with me to help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~who is that girl I see? Staring straight back at me. Why is my reflection someone l don't know? Must I pretend that l'm someone else, for all time, when will my, reflection show, who l am, inside....~

l can't stand being like this, l have to see someone about it soon, ne? l mean, l guess that l could stay in pain, but well, pain is pain, and l don't like it........... I don't know why I am still sitting here like a lump, but it' so hard to break things so easily...

~There's a heart that must be free, to fly. That burns, with the need to know, the reason why! Why must we all conceal, what we think, how we feel, must there be, a secret me, l'm forced, to hide!~

l can't hide like this forever, sooner or later, somebody is going to figure out my very thoughts and feelings, it may be Vegeta, it may be Gohan, it may be Goku, it may even be Turnks....... but what will happen when they do? Why am I always so worried.....

~I won't pretend that l'm, someone else, for all time. When will my reflection show, who I am inside? When will my reflection show, who I am inside?~

I will tell them all, and l'll tell them tomorrow................ l just can't wait until l see what they say..... l hope that they take it well....... l'll tell Bulma-san first, she always seemed the kindest and most caring. She may be able to help me when l tell the others..... The only other person I'll tell about Trunks, though, will be Bulma, and she can tell Trunks...... [a/n: for those of you sick people, I mean mirai Trunks, ok?]
