Hikari's POV
"Aw, come on Hikari! You keep beating me!" Trunks whine
I couldn't help but laugh ruffled his lavender hair
"Sorry kiddo, I guess I'm just lucky to win." I chuckled when he pout glaring at me playfully
"You keep winning Kari! You said you never played this before. You have to be lying to play War."
Trunks wanted to play a card game so I let him pick cause I never played any card games, so he picked 'War' and some reason I keep winning and it makes Trunks frustrated to no end and it was kind of cute.
"I don't wanna play anymore." he whines out falling back on my bed making me chuckle
"Very well." I said while picking up all the cards all over the bed and put the deck of cards on my night stand. Bulma was nice enough to let me stay with them as long as I want even making the room I woke up in my room, she bought me clothes and womanly stuff as will "What do you want to do Trunks?"
"Hmm." while thinking staring up at the ceiling, he sat up grinning "Why not I show you how to fly? I think Dad or Goten's dad can help too! There here today, mom always does party BBQ's to bring all our friend's together and remember good old times, as my mom would tell me."
I tilt my head in thought then smiling "Sure! I would love to learn how to fly! When I was your age I always dreamed of flying like a bird..." I said softly while walking outside my room with Trunks beside me who has his hands behind his head smiling wide.
"Don't worry with my dad and Goku you'll learn how to fly and even use your ki too, they are really strong especially my dad!"
We walk outside in the back to see Bulma and her friend's all talking and such, Trunks walk over to his dad which is Vageta then he ran over to Goku asking him the same thing and he ran over to me with a huge happy grin of his.
"So, what did they say?" I ask nervously
"Will dad said he's going to be busy with his own training but Goku said he'll be happy to help you learn how to fly even Gohan and Goten will help, and of course me too." he said all proudly.
"Thank you Trunks, your being super kind to me. It makes me feel...at home." I told him
"Good. Oh yeah, I'm going to go visit Tapion again tonight." he whispered leaning over since I bend down to his eye level
I nodded "Okay, I wish I could visit him but I think he'll understand." he nodded and sneak away
I was at the table full of food trying to figure out which one to eat first
"You should try this."
"Huh?" I turn my head to the side to see Goku grinning ear to ear with a skillet of stuff on it "Oh, thank you Goku." I smiled brightly took the skillet of food and took a bite out of the top part "Oh wow! This is actually really yummy!" I munch on that happily not noticing Goku was laughing and smiling.
"I see you like my food Hikari."
I blink swallowed the food in my mouth to see Bulma smiling hands on her hips all proudly
"Yeah, your food is really amazing Bulma! I never tasted such wonderful food like this in...years." I told her truthfully
"Oh my, then eat all you want hun." Bulma told me smiling walking away to talk to her husband
"Do you want to start today?"
I look at Goku confuse for a minute until it clicked "Oh! About teaching me how to fly duh! I would love to learn today. Is after the party okay?"
"Sure." he grin and walk over to Gohan and Videl
I met Bulma's other friend's like Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong...Bulma has so many friend's that's for sure. After introducing myself I wanted to learn how to fly now so I ask Goku is he could train me to fly now which he was happy too so I got excited and hugged him, when I realized what I did I squeaked and step back hands clasp against my stomach looking down shyly.
Goku just chuckled ruffled my hair "Come on Hikari, there's allot we have to do." he smiled brightly
I nodded punch my fist into the air "Yeah!" I brought my hand back down embarrassed Goku laugh
We were a bet far from Bulma's house, first thing Goku made me do is sit down cross my legs close my eyes and try to find my ki but no matter what I did I couldn't find my ki! I almost wanted to give up but Goku told me I could do it I just have to have faith in myself and dig deeper. It was night time and Trunks was out visiting Tapion as always while I sat on the floor doing the same thing as Goku told me to keep trying to find my ki then he could teach me how to fly. I was snap out of trying to find my ki when there was a knock on my door, I got up opening my door silently cause Bulma was sleeping still to see Trunks I let him in and close the door.
"What's up Trunks? Did you and Tapion have fun?"
"Yeah, but that old man Hoi tried to steal his Ocarina calling him a monster but I didn't believe him so I toss Tapion his Ocarina."
"What?! This Hoi prick was trying to kill Tapion and steal his Ocarina? If I met the jerk I'll give him a good kick in the sun don't shine." I spoke eyes narrowed in deadly slits fist clinch.
"Don't worry, Hoi wont try to do that again cause I brought him home with me." He said proudly grinning
"R-really? Tapion is here?" happiness soared through my body but mostly through my heart it was skipping a beat and butterfly's fluttering around my stomach.
"Yep, mom is talking to him right now though. If you want to talk to him he said he'll come to your room afterwards, he wanted to see how you were since the last time he saw you." Trunks informed me while he put his hands behind his head "I don't understand why he's so worried about you, you have me, mom and my dad to watch over you but he was stubborn to see you."
He gave me the knowing look making my face turn cherry red covering my red cheeks but it was futile, he was teasing me saying I like Tapion, which is true but he's a kid for pete sake's! He shouldn't know about love at his age...but he's smart for his age too...damn. We end up playing Go Fish and he was daring me to confess to Tapion and even go right up to him and kiss him on the lips! I was so red at the end of him telling me the dare I almost wanted to pass out. Trunks actually won at Go Fish when there was a knock at my door.
*Knock, Knock*
"Huh? Who is that?" I ask myself out loud confuse
"Duh! It's Tapion Kari."
Trunks told me while he jump off my bed opening my door wide open and there he stood all handsome...crap Trunks is right...I really need to tell him my feelings or I'll go crazy in my own mind! Trunks left me and Tapion alone going to bed, I couldn't control my blushing when he walk over to my bed side while I put away the cards in their box.
"I'm glad to see your doing all right."
I smiled shyly at him when he sat down at the edge of my bed near my legs which I pulled back crossing them so he can have more room, I nodded.
"Yeah, I'm thankful for you." I told him making him look at me confuse and shock
"What do you mean by your thankful to me? I did nothing."
I chuckled pulled my knees to my chest wrap my arms around my legs smiling at him "Trunks told me you ask him and Goten to help me. So thank you Tapion, your really are a hero."
I was surprise when his face turn red and he turn his head away probably out of embarrassment, it was really cute seeing him all shy now. I wonder what it feels to kiss him? Gah! There goes those thoughts again! I cough hiding from the fact I thought of kissing him.
"Are you really going to stay here with us? Trunks will be so happy, he thinks of you as a brother figure you know."
"Yeah, Trunks talk me into staying and thanks to his mom she's going to make me a room where I can sleep. He thinks of me as a brother? He reminds me so much about my little brother..."
My smile was turn into a frown when he talk about his little brother, when he told me his story how he and his brother sealed part of the monster called 'Hirudegarn' I was horrified when he might think his little brother might be killed by Hoi, mostly because the bottom half of Hirudegarn showed up attack the town. Poor Tapion, I move my body around so I sat at the edge with him on my bed and not caring if it'll cause me to be embarrass I wrap my arms around his body feeling his body jump slightly, it was tense until his body wasn't tense anymore he even hugged me back! I wanted to squeal in joy but I held it back and enjoy his warm.
"...You know...that day I first met you, I thought you were another annoying human girl-" I huff about to say something but he gave me the look he wasn't finished so I let him go on "-But when you came running back to see if I was okay I was confuse why would you worry about someone like me, when I saw you were injured I grew panic I didn't know what to do that's when Trunks and his friend Goten flew over to visit me I ask them to bring you somewhere to help you."
I blink couple of times look up at Tapion, he look down at me with a emotion in his eyes I couldn't understand what it was.
"Tapion, I'm okay. I just didn't feel the glass pierce my arm, I don't really pay attention to things when I'm in danger or someone else is in danger...I guess it's in my nature to worry about others then myself, hehe." I chuckled softly.
"...Why don't you worry about yourself first before others? Shouldn't your health be more important."
I unwrap my arms from Tapion(sadly I wanted to keep on holding him) stood up hands on my hips
"Listen, I do take care of myself too but I want to help others the best I can. I just hate to see people hurt or sad I can't help it I worry about others it's in my nature as I said before I don't even know if I got it from my mom or dad, who knows really." I shrug it off.
"You don't know where your parents are?"
I nodded sat down on my floor which he followed suit crossing his legs same with me, thankfully i was wearing my PJ's that has pants.
"I was just a baby when I was found on the porch of the Orphanage, the lady who runs the Orphanage tried looking for my parents who put me on her porch but no traces of them but only thing that I had on me as a baby was this." I crawled on my hands and knees to my night stand grab my small music box and went back to my spot in front of Tapion showing him my small music box "I had this, and oddly I can't open it." I told him while he look it over.
"It seems who ever made this made a key, do you not have the key?"
I shook my head "No, I only had that with me. But I hope I can find someone that does of the key, they might be my parents or a clue to where my parents might be." Tapion handed it back to me.
"I hope you find them Hikari, you deserve to find out why they left you at the porch of the Orphanage."
I nodded hugging it against my chest smiling at Tapion
"Yeah...But part of me thinks I don't need to find out cause I have a new family and that's Bulma, and Trunks. I'm happy just being around them it's like they are my family."
I stood up and set my music box on my night stand standing there for a little bet deciding on one thing and one thing only; Should I kiss Tapion and tell him how I feel or tell him how I feel then kiss?
"Hikari, there's something I wish to talk to you about. Trunks told me I should talk to you about it."
I turn around seeing him standing up, oh great did Trunks tell him something? Oh god, don't tell him he told Tapion I might have feelings for him?!
"S-sure." I smiled nervously, oh god my hearts racing so fast. I walk over to my bed sat down on it while Tapion use my desk chair.
"I didn't understand why I felt this way since you showed up that day, but Trunks informed me I should tell you or some other man will sweep you off your feet and I'll be to late."
I stared at him in shock and surprise Omg! I-is he- I was pulled away from my thoughts when a hand grab hold of mine to see Tapion grab my hand staring right into my blue orbs.
"I do not know how to do this," he use his free hand and rub behind his head shyly "I like you Hikari."
...
Me: Aww~ It seems Tapion does like Hikari~ Will Hikari tell him her feelings? Or is something going to interrupt it? Just keep reading~ Hikari's music box is the same one as in the movie 'Anastasia'. Ciao~
