Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Vampire Project ❯ Chapter 4

The Vampire Project

Disclaimer: Same as first chapter. POV: Trunks     Chief Executive Officer of Capsule Corporation; The title I now bear. This day has come so fast. I sit here at the large desk, where my mother sat when she was running the place. Printed reports are stacked in neat piles on the perimeter of the desk. I reach for the top folder on my far right and view its contents.     It seems the company has been having some problems with the new Ki generator in the new lab that was built on the second sublevel. The machine is based on a model raided from Doctor Gero's recently discovered second underground lab, a few months ago. In fact a lot of his technology was confiscated for study. When the Ki machine is combined with the regeneration tanks, healing rates are significantly increased.     All that work was exhausting. I am ready to go rest after a decent meal. While I was going over those reports and dealing with the staff, 12 hours had passed. Saying goodbye to the present staff, I meander to the family living area. A hot shower and a comfortable bed will do me some good. I'll check on Goten during my lunch break tomorrow. POV: Goten     My head throbs with pain, the sunlight shining in through the east window. I open my eyes further, trying to blink out the fuzziness. There is a dark-hared, tall form next to my bed; my dad or my brother.     As the room comes into focus I am able to perceive Gohan straddling a chair on my left, looking at me, with a worried expression. Moments later he smiles knowing I'm awake. "You have been out for two days, Goten. I am glad you woke up."  He says softly. I just moan in response, unable to speak coherently yet. "Mom is cooking breakfast downstairs do you want some?" I grunt my acknowledgement, and he leaves the room in response. POV: Gohan "Goten is awake. And he's a little hungry." I said to my mom. "That's so wonderful! I was so worried. I'm done here, so help me bring his meal to him." "Sure."     Mom carried a small tray of food to Goten's room, and I followed, pushing a small cart laden with food, that dad had made to help her move things around the house. Mom coddled and fussed over him as usual. It's just the way things are. Goten did give me, mom and dad quite a scare when he stopped breathing for a minute, yesterday.     He is eating at least, but not as much as usual. A while later and he manages to finish most of the food that was brought. POV: Goten     Now that I can think again, the pain and memories come back. I push them to the back of my mind. Why can I not find someone who love me for me, and not just want what's in my pants. Bra was the same as Paris. Once they got the goods they left. "Where's Trunks?" I asked mom. "He's at work. Yesterday was his first day as CEO of Capsule Corp." "Oh."     I could feel Trunks' ki heading toward the house as I finish my water. Looking at the time it's lunch time. I had late breakfast. It wasn't' very long before there was a knock at the door. Gohan answered it. "Hi Goten. How are you feeling? You really had me worried. I brought you an assortment of your favorite jelly filled doughnuts." "Thanks."     Trunks gave me a warm, comforting hug. Mom and my brother went off to do other things while we talked. To my embarrassment, the barriers that held back my tears broke and I found myself sobbing into his chest.
