Chapter ????

Mirai lay in the hospital bed. One at a time people came in to visit him. Primogen Vegeta and Mary had both left at the same time after talking to him about stuff, what was that stuff, he had no idea! It was Vegeta's turn to visit. He sat next to Mirai and just stared at him.

"You know," he said with a slight smile, "this is the second time I have been in this room visiting you."

"I don't remember," he said cocking an eyebrow.

"Because you where dead. You were rushed here right after in hopes of saving you, sadly that didn't happen." Vegeta went silent, lost in his thoughts, he remembered that day rather well. The group had all stood in the waiting room hoping that the doctor would come back with good news. Good news, however, was not really normal news. Any kind of news brought to the group of warriors was almost always bad news. Vegeta was not really liking the topic they started off with and decided that now would be a good time to change the subject before it went any further. "So, your mortal now, hows it feel to be alive again?"

"It sucks," responded Mirai with a smile on his face. The smile almost shook Vegeta, there was something there almost psychotic about it. He shook his head, it was the morphine doing it to him, at least he hoped it was. He did not expect his smile to be the same smile of a mad man that it was before. It was innocent and evil at the same time, knowing but on a different level, a level that didn't really exist in the world outside of his own.

"Not happy being mortal again," asked Vegeta trying not to show his sudden fear in the familiar smile.

"No," he said sadly, his smile slowly falling to a deep frown, "I can feel it."

"Feel what," asked Vegeta suddenly intrigued.

"I'm dying," he whispered, "every passing moment, every heart beat, it's taking me one step closer."

"How do you feel that your dying? You mean your dying right now!"

"Calm down," said Mirai, "that is not what I meant. We are all dying, from the moment we are born to that final breath we die. It's just you never notice the feeling when you are alive because of just that, you are alive and well. But when you have been undead, your body already dead, nothing is there. No heart beat, not blood of your own, no bodily functions working, you are just a dead cell with a soul intact. But when you get all of that back, it suddenly hits you like a brick. Your heart beat, your breath, being awake, being asleep, all of it is you dying."

"So you are saying that as we sit here you feel yourself dying." This was beginning to worry Vegeta, maybe his mind was truly lost from him forever.

"Every damned moment that passes is one step closer to death," said Mirai sinisterly. Vegeta nodded his head.

"Welp," he said standing up, "good jive, get well soon kiddo!" With that he rushed for the door. Mirai just shook his head with a smile on his face, he really was a nice guy once you broke down that barrier, didn't know what he freaked out about, but he was a nice guy. He giggled to himself at the thought, yea right, Vegeta's an asshole!

………………………

"Okay, someone elses turn," said Vegeta sitting as far away from everyone as possible.

"What happened," asked Bulma getting ready for her turn.

"Just, go talk to him, don't bring up how he is feeling though, it's just….no nevermind, just don't ask him." Bulma was suddenly unsure, if someone freaked Vegeta how something was very wrong.

……………………..

Mirai looked up and smiled at his mother. "Hey," he said in an airy voice, "whats crackin mama!"

"Um, hi,' said Bulma, not really use to him saying comments like that. "So what's up?"

"My dick probably. I dunno but I'm pretty fucked up on this shit. It's awesome!"

"Um…yea…you feelin okay honey?" Oh shit, she thought, Vegeta told me not to mention it.

"I'm dying," said Mirai with a big smile on his face.

"Really," she said nervously, "is that what you and Vegeta where just talking about?" Mirai opened his mouth to answer but closed it again. He seemed in deep thought.

"Did Vegeta come to visit me?"

"Yea, so did Primogen Vegeta."

"Oh, I don't remember. They really are nice people, well they aren't nice, but it was awful thoughtful of them to visit me in the hospital. Has anyone else visited me?"

"Not that I know of," she said, feeling her heart begin to break, this wasn't normal, he was drugged yes but this was just weird.

"Well, at least you have come to visit me, that was really nice of you." He seemed to be sincere about it but it seemed his hissed the word nice in an almost venomous way. She inched away a bit.

"So you should be able to leave here in a couple days, looking forward to going home at last?"

"Oh, well, I guess, yes, but I'm going to miss all of you."

"Yea, we are going to miss you to," she said with a smile.

"No you wont," said Mirai chuckling a bit, "I know you wont. I read that letter Chichi sent you. What did you write back?"

"Oh, that, well you shouldn't worry about it, it's not your fault."

"Oh, no, it is. I know it is. I did it on purpose."

"Oh really," she said, "then why did you act the way you did?"

"Because at the time I didn't realize I did it on purpose."

"Wow! Look at the time. Trunks, I need to get to work but I will come back and visit you tomorrow," she said. Trunks's smile brightened more.

"Okay," he said excited but very exausted, "I'm sure I'm looking forward to it."

"Yea, me to," she said leaving.

………………………………….

Bulma exited the room and slowly sat in the chair next to Vegeta who seemed concentrated on the floor. She took a slow deep breath and stared at a chair across from her. The others exchanged looks of fear. None of them wanted to go in that room but at the same time, curiosity was getting the better of them, and as we all know, it doesn't matter how scared you are eventually your curiosity will take over.

King stood next.

…………………………

"King," said Trunks happily, "guess what! I had visitors while I was in the hospital."

"Trunks, your still in the hospital," said King scratching the back of his head.

"Really! Wow, when did I get in here?"

"Nevermind, look just wanted to tell you to get well soon and all that."

"Man I have an IV in my arm. It looks like it hurts but I can't feel it."

"Yea, morphine will do that to you. Your mom looked a little disturbed, what is wrong with her?"

"I dunno, it was strange, she seemed just fine yesterday. Today she is kind of dragging."

"Right," said King.

"When you find out could you let me know, I worry about her, I don't think she is all there." He had a big grin on his face that sent shivers down his spine. It this was Trunks on drugs, King preferred him to suffer, at least then he might act a little normal.

"You know what I want for my birthday," said Trunks quietly.

"No," said King.

"I want a cake with a vanilla bottom, a strawberry ice cream filling, and a chocolate top with white icing."

"Well I will let your mom know," he said wanting to go to the door before things started getting creepy.

"Have you ever been in a hospital bed before, it is dreadfully uncomfortable!"

"I'm…sorry about that."

"You don't look sorry," said Mirai busting out with a wicked laughter. King flinched, what was he talking about?

"Well I will leave you to rest."

"No wait, I want to go see a musical!"

"When your better," said King rushing for the door. This was getting really weird.

"Don't leave," shouted Trunks happily, "I'm dying man and I might die before you get back!"

"Don't worry, I wont let that happen, we will see each other again before you die I promise."

"Okay, don't break that promise or I will make your life a living nightmare," said Trunks happily waving goodbye.

…………………………………

King trudged off to the victim corner of the room. Sitting on his sons other side he focused on his hands. He was to scared to look at the others, he knew that his fear was a reflective image of their own.

…………………………………

One by one the group went in nervous and came out silently sitting with the rest of the victims. Soon all that was left was Gismo, Cell, Matin, Nikkei, Jezebel, and May. They all got up and walked through the door at the same time.

"Hey guys," said Trunks airily again, "I have had so few visiters."

"Yea, that's a real bummer homie," said Gismo, "Hey, can we ask a favor. Mind if we get a bit of that?"

"Sure," said Trunks holding his wrist out, "there is plenty to go around." One by on the last of his friends took the needle sticking it in their arms taking in a bit of morphine. The room was happy to say the least.

"Man, you know you driving people loony here," said Cell.

"I am," asked Trunks curiously trying to stick the needle back in himself but missing more times then a sober person would be comfortable.

"Oh yea," laughed Gismo, "you said something to them that freaked them out."

"When did I have visitors today?"

"You okay there buddy," asked Nikkei, "you acting a little extreme for someone on morphine."

"I'm okay, I guess," he said, "I'm dying on the inside."

"Oh no," said May, "is it my fault?"

"No," he said, "I did it, I asked for mortality back."

"Yea, I think I remember that," said Matin, "then again I don't remember what I had for breakfast."

"I remember that a long time ago I asked for a cake, the perfect cake, you know I never got that cake."

"What kind of cake was it," asked Gismo.

"I don't remember, but it was the perfect cake. The perfect cake for a perfect birthday."

"Did you have clowns," asked Cell, "clowns at birthdays are awesome."

"No," he said sadly, "clowns kinda remind me of the Joker."

"Man you want help with that," asked Gismo watching him continually poke himself.

"I got this," he said. He continued to poke at his arm. He was bleeding profusely now. "So like I was saying I'm dying and I don't want to die alone."

"When where we talking about that," asked Nikkei.

"I'm dying. I told you I'm dying. I told you several times."

"No you didn't," said Matin shaking his head.

"Yes I did," argued Trunks now getting mad but to high to do anything about it.

"Okay, you're right, you told us," said May.

"No," continued Cell, "you said you where dying inside, you didn't say you where actually dying!"

"Yes I am," shouted Trunks, "I'm living to death!"

"Okay," urged May, "you are right Trunks."

"No he isn't," snapped Cell lazily.

"Yes I am," said Trunks. He threw the IV to the floor giving up on putting it back. Who cares someone will probably put it in for him anyway.

……………………………………

Everyone looked up at the door, they had been in that room for over an hour. Finally Cell and the teens came piling out.

"What where you talking about,' asked Yamcha.

"I don't remember," said May.

"You don't remember," asked Primogen raising an eyebrow.

"Nope," responded Cell.

………………………………..

It was late at night and Mirai suddenly woke up with a surge of pain he had never experienced. He pushed the nurse button and attempted at talking but he hurt so bad he couldn't. When he did not respond to the nurse some of his friends came bustling in.

Mary looked down at the floor, his IV was on the floor. She walked over and picked it up, she couldn't put it back in his arm, she wasn't a nurse, she didn't know what to do.

"Put it back in," said Jezebel.

"It has been on the floor for god knows how long! We can't just put it back in."

"But if we call a nurse Primogen will hear about it and he will want to know how it got out of his arm in the first place. We are NOT going to tell him that we all took some of that morphine!"

"Well we need to do something," urged May, "we can't just leave him in pain like that!"

"No, we can't," agreed Mary. She pulled out a joint and sat next to Trunks. The others sat around him and they took hits off the joint and blew the smoke in poor Trunks's face. They didn't know what to do but this seemed to be a good idea. He would go numb after a while and hopefully a nurse will see that the IV isn't in his arm anymore and think that he just pulled it out. After finishing it everyone was feeling a little numb. Trunks was still feeling a bit of pain but at least it wasn't as bad. He slowly drifted to sleep as his friends talked together quietly.

"How do we explain the bloody wrist with all those wholes in it," asked Jezebel.

"God, I don't know, Vegeta is going to kill us when he finds out," said Nikkei.

"That is if he finds out," said May slyly.

"If," asked the others. She smiled at them.

"We where not hear. Vegeta is going to be angry that we were not hear to see it but at least he will believe that we were sober the whole time."

"Yea," said Mary, "I like that idea. But we can't just keep this quiet."

"Oh yes we can," said May.
