Chapter 7 ~ Bloodshed
Yaten gasped, his hand on his chest.
"Yaten, what's wrong?" Taiki walked over to him.
"A star's fading . . . and a very powerful one at that."
"Is it Seiya?"
Yaten shook his head.
"Who could it be then?"
"Remember about the special power I felt about a couple of minutes ago?"
Taiki nodded.
"It's that one . . ."
"Are you sure of that?"
Yaten gave no answer.
"We have to hurry Ami, I'm scared one of them got shot."
"I'm going full speed!" Ami ran behind Minako, which was now transformed into Sailor Venus.
BAM!
Ami gasped and stopped on her tracks.
Minako's eyes widened, "There's another one!" the Goddess of Love yelled.
"Let's get to it Venus!" Ami sped up and passed Venus.
"Right!"
Minako followed.
"Minako-chan . . . Ami-chan . . . I wonder how they are doing . . . "
Usagi's eyes then widened, a vivid image of the lavender headed warrior appearing in her thoughts.
" . . . . Trunks . . . "
Usagi frowned and got up.
"I have to go help, the girls can't go alone!"
She pulled out her Eternal Brooch.
"Especially when they are in danger."
Usagi flicked her hand up into the air.
"Moon Eternal . . . MAKE-UP!"
"Bulla, hold on for me please, don't die!"
Trunks cried slightly.
"I swear, if they killed you . . ."
Trunks gasped as he stopped in his tracks, the 2 black haired warriors behind him doing the same.
"B-B-Blood . . ."
Goku and Gohan's eyes widened.
Trunks followed the trail of blood.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Goku looked at Gohan.
Trunks kept following the tracks of blood, tears sliding down and off his cheeks, "Bulla . . . "
The more he walked, the more blood there was, like if they were being dragged somewhere . . . or if the victim was dragging itself towards help.
Trunks stopped as soon as he saw a body, his tears grouping up.
"Bulla . . . ?"
No answer.
"Bulla?!"
No answer again.
Trunks got onto his knees, turning the body around.
Goku and Gohan stood behind him.
Trunks' eyes widened as his eyes set on Seiya's face.
"Is this . . . ?"
"Trunks?"
Trunks looked up, a yellow figure appearing before him.
Trunks gasped and ran towards it, "Bulla?"
There she stood, the badly injured Bulla with her super saiyan hair sticking up.
"Y-You're ok!"
"I am . . . but I failed at protecting the one I love . . . "
"Love?"
Bulla nodded.
"He looks awfully older to be your other orange."
"But I am too."
"W-Well, the good thing is that you're ok."
"Yeah." Goku smiled.
"Let's go home, you can explain everything there."
"Alrighty."
"Your mission failed."
"I'm sorry master, I'll be sure to kill that saiyan girl soon."
"Do you swear upon your own life?"
"Yes . . . Yes I do!"
"Hm . . . "
"What is it Yaten?"
Yaten's eyes widened, "No . . . !"
"What is it?"
"S-Seiya!" he yelled.
"Yaten, calm down, what's wrong?"
"Seiya!"
"Yaten tell me!"
"He's GONE! He's DEAD!"
"You fell in love with him like that?"
"Yes . . . we really loved each other . . . he told me before he died."
The words echoed in Bulla's head, "Madam Bulla . . . all this time . . . I have loved you . . . I'm sorry . . . for leaving to early . . ."
Bulla cried.
"Shh, it's ok, he's in a better place."
Bulla looked up at Trunks.
He got up, "Bulla . . . I wanted to give you something."
"Hm? What?"
Trunks pulled out a napkin from a drawer, something inside it as he handed it to Bulla.
"It's yours now, take good care of it."
Bulla's eyes widened as she opened up the napkin, "T-This is . . . !"
