Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Holding On ❯ 7 ( Chapter 7 )

An) Didn't I promise to get this chapter out tonight? Well, I finally typed it up, so here it is.



---------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
Trunks (GT Trunks) leaned back in his chair watching his blonde friend pace back and forth across the floor. She was cursing, complaining, and describing everything about Mirai Trunks and his behavior. 'She's so blind. She doesn't realize that she's fallen for him. She's fallen deep.'

He was vaguely listening to what she had to say. He didn't have to listen to every word now. She was just venting. 'She must really like him to get so worked up over this' he thought. Wondering how and why she liked Mirai. 'They act like my parents, yelling, and claiming to hate each other when they really just want to be with each other. I wonder if she realizes that she likes him so much? She stares at him from the corner of her eye, blacks out in a day dream in the middle of a conversation, and just has a look in her eye when ever he is mentioned.'

Trunks sighed. It was going to be a long day. He was starting to think that Mirai and Pan liked each other, but he knew that Mirai had a thing for Marron, whether he would admit it or not. 'He acts the same way around Marron that she acts around him. Stealing glances and pretending not to care. Maybe that's why they're at each other's throats. The can't stand the fact that they could feel something for the other. Mirai because of Marrons mother, and Marron because they've only known each other a few days.'

"…Oh he just gets on my nerves…Thanks for letting me vent Trunks. You're a real sweet heart. No wonder Panny likes you so much. I feel better already." She left the office quickly and much more calmly than when she came. She almost pulled the door off the hinges when she first arrived.

"She just spent a full hour venting and all I did was say hello and ask what's wrong. Oh well at least it gave me a break from the budget…wait….what does she mean Panny likes me so much????"

-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

Bulma sat in her lab blinking her eyes. She had heard the whole fight and couldn't help but giggle. ::Yawn:: They had acted ::yawn:: just like she and Vegeta used to. And still do sometimes. ::yawn::

Since Marron had disappeared after the fight Bulma didn't have the cup of coffee she so desperately craved.

'It's understandable that she didn't come. She's probably venting to the other Trunks or something.'

Bulma tried one last time to focus on the work but found that she couldn't. 'I'll just rest my eyes for five minutes, maybe for twen...'

The Genius scientist collapsed on her desk, endlessly typing letters on the computer screen. 'nbnbhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhh.......'

---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

(This is where you will start to think that I, the author, am going crazy. I blame it on sugar cookies, chocolate ice cream, and Dr. Pepper. Excessive amounts of caffeine and sugar can really mess with your head.)

Mirai Trunks stormed out of the kitchen and up to his room. He leaned against the door and sighed. "I can't believe I said that. Kami, what's getting into me?"

"Yeah, what is wrong with you?" asked a similar voice. Mirai looked up to see if anyone was in the room.

"Huh?" He looked around in confusion.

"Over here you idiot. To your right!"

Mirai Trunks swayed his head to the right and gasped. There was a miniature him dressed in white on his shoulder.

"Aah, what the hell? Who are you?"

The white robed mini Trunks bowed politely. "I am your conscience Trunks. Your voice of reason. You know, the guy you've been ignoring for a few days! You can call me Toran."

"And I…"

Mirai Trunks jumped at the sound of another voice on his left shoulder. He reluctantly looked over to see a miniature Trunks dressed in a red cloak.

"I am your voice of reason. Just call me…"

"You can call him a liar." Interrupted Toran. "He is the reason you make bad decisions. He is the reason that you have so many problems."

"Am not, you are the reason he is so screwed up." he accused.
-------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Vegeta left the gravity room for a snack of some sort. After eating 14 large sandwiches he searched for his wife's Ki, expecting to find her busy at work, with no sleep.

Instead he noticed that her Ki was slow and steady. She was asleep. 'Baka. She didn't even fall asleep in her room. Probably just collapsed in her lab.'

Vegeta walked down the hall and looked inside the private lab. He wouldn't go in unless he was sure she was asleep. The lab was off limits to him, and he decided not to break that rule. The baka woman would yell really loud if he went in there.

He spotted a blue mass near her computer and concluded that it must be her head. He walked over and gently picked her up, releasing her nose from pressing the 'h' key.

He carried her upstairs to the room and set her down in the bed. 'You need rest' he thought, 'Sleep well, my little one.'


------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
"No way, you are"

"You are"

"You are"

"Liar"

"I don't lie"

"That's just what you want him to think."

"errrrr" suddenly Toran tackled the red robed mini Trunks. "Die"

"No you die"

…

"Oh great, now I'm having hallucinations. Maybe Dad hit my head too hard when we were training." Mumble Mirai Trunks.

Mirai walked over to the bathroom and splashed his face with cold water. He turned around and groaned. The two figures were still there, and now they were floating in the doorway between the bathroom and his room.

"You're not losing your mind. We're here to help you. Or at least I am. He's here to complicate matters." Toran gave the red figure an evil glare.

"No, I'm here because if you listened to angel boy your whole life you'd be boring, and would never have fun."

"Ok, wait a second. Aren't you supposed to have wings, a harp and a halo or something? And aren't you supposed to have devil ears and a tail and such?" Trunks asked confused.

Both figures sighed. "This isn't a movie you know. We blame Hollywood for stereotyping peoples inner consciences"

"If you're my conscience then why aren't you in my head or something. Why do you have to show up on my shoulder?"

"Look Trunks, there's no time for questions here. Angel boy and I have actually agreed on something for a change."

Trunks coughed. "Uhm how do I get you to go away?"

"You have to reach a state of clarity, or in other words you have to stop this inner struggle." Toran said, leaning against Trunks neck.

"What goodie good here is trying to say, is that you need to make a decision about Marron."

Trunks leaned against the bathroom counter. "What do you think I should do about Marron?"

Toran sighed. "We can't tell you what to do! We just guide you to know what you truly feel."

Trunks shook his head. "I don't know how I feel. I barely know her."

The red figure sighed. "Then how come you're judging her already?"

"How come the moment you saw her you felt as if you had known her forever?"

"Than why can you feel a bond growing?"
------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------

Pan finally helped her parents finish packing and convinced them to let her go to Capsule corp. to see Bra.

'Well I don't know if I'll see Bra there though. I think I'm going to visit Trunks. Maybe he needs help with the budget.'

She took off in the direction of Capsule Corp and entered Trunks office through the window as usual. Landing right behind his chair. She slipped her hands over his eyes and lowered her Ki.

"Guess who?" she whispered into his ear.

She noticed him shiver, as she was so close to him.

"Uhmmm Bra?" Trunks asked, playing along.

"Nope. Strike one." She whispered.

"Marron?" he tried not to chuckle.

"Strike two."

"Can I have a hint?"

"Hmmm... I'm the only strange person who would actually come up here to help you with your budget report because I want to order Chinese food, and stay up all night talking like we did with last years annual budget report and the report the year before, and I believe one more year before that."

"hmmm. I know Stacy right?" Trunks smirked

"Strike three. You're out. I'm going to have to punish you for that." She still didn't remove her hands from his eyes.

Trunks raised an eyebrow. "Punishment eh? Will I like it?"

Trunks expected her to slap him and call him a pervert but instead she continued to play.

"It depends on if I feel like being a bad girl or not," she purred back.

"Pan?" Trunks turned around surprised, not expecting this type of behavior from her.

"Relax Trunks. I was just kidding. That look on your face was too priceless for me to pass up the opportunity. Need any help this year?" she asked hopefully, light shimmering in her eyes.

"Well, I will need help on the budget, so if you want to pull another all-nighter with me like last year we can sit up with Chinese take out, and papers everywhere."

"It sounds fun. I couldn't ask for more! I'll go get us some Chinese food. Anything else you want?"

Trunks looked to be in serious thought for a moment. "Well...I...could...use a distraction...a break." He kept his cool and slid his arms around her waist before tugging her forwards so he sat in his lap with her legs on either side of his.

"T...Tr...Trunks?" she asked stunned.

'I wonder if Marron was right when she said that Pan liked me...'

He snuggled his face in the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent. "Do you know how great you smell?"

Pan sighed, and then breathed in the scent of his hair. "You smell good too."

At that moment Pan lifted her eyes in time to see the office door open. She tried to get up but Trunks was holding her tight so she burried her head in his neck. Marron, the secretary, and Bulma (who had wokenup 5 minutes after Vegeta put her in bed) started to walk in. They paused at the sight of Pan in Trunks lap and just turned around and left, closing the door behind them.

"That was embarrassing," murmured Pan getting off of Trunks lap.

"What was?" he asked looking around.

"Your mom and Marron walked in the room when I was...um...on your lap. They are going to get the wrong idea."
---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
"No, no no…" Mirai Trunks hit his head against the doorframe. "There is no bond. NO bond. I can't bond to her. Not to the daughter of someone I hate so much. Of someone who killed all that I loved. I can't bond to someone who looks like her mother when her mother tried to kill me. When her mother killed so many.

The two figures shrugged and looked at him sympathetically. Then the red one punched him in the cheek and sent him out of the bathroom and into his room. "Why can't you see clearly? I don't think you realize that you aren't only hurting yourself, but you're hurting her."

"He'll snap out of it soon." Smirked the figure in white, knowing all about the upcoming events. "... Unless we somehow changed everything by showing up. I knew this is a bad idea. What if something bad happens now?"

"Then we pretend it isn't our fault?"

"Sounds like a plan"

With that the two figures disappeared.

An: Ok so it was a little weird. And yes, his hallucinations do play a role in the story, or at least I will make it so they do.

Stay Tuned and REVIEW!!!!!!

Oh and see Scarlet Fire? Mirai's not a meanie; he's just going a little crazy. hehehe, I told you guys I was weird when I wrote these chapters!

Oh and I couldn't resist doing that to Trunks and Pan. HEHE, I wasn't planning anything on them for a while but i didn't want them left out. Sorry there was no G/B in this chapter. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how he is going to teach her. I don't know how to teach someone to fly so coming up with directions is pretty hard.
Well REVIEW!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
