Part IV Obstacle

"Hi Goten Kun!" Bra almost skidded down the stairs; she spent half the day choosing her outfit, and the other half getting ready. Goten opened his eyes wide a little and then gave her one of those big gorgeous smiles of his.

"Wow Bra-chan you look awesome, if I didn't know better I'd think we were going on a date."

"We are silly! Besides I don't want to embarrass you by dressing like a little girl." She threw her arms around his neck and gave him a long kiss on the cheek. Goten turned red and she smirked in satisfaction.

"C'mon let's go we still have to get Pan." Goten said taking both Bra's arms and pulling her away.

"Pan can't go with us,"

"Why not?" Goten raised a brow suspiciously.

"She got grounded." Bra almost sang.

"I talked to her this morning, she didn't say anything about being grounded," Goten added pulling his cell out, "Let me call to make sure." He dialed and turned his back to her so he could talk. Bra didn't care, she planned this perfectly, the day of the dinner party she purposely took Pan home late. She knew Gohan-san so well it was not even funny. Of course he grounded Pan. After he and Videl left, Pan begged them to let her stay longer saying Bra would take her home, she had alright…two hours later than Gohan-san said she should be back. So it would be the two of them just the way she had intended from the start.

"Fine, so I'll see you later." Goten was saying into the sleek phone, "Ok Bye." He ended the call and put his phone in his pocket, then turned to her and gave her a big smile. "I guess is just you and me Bra-chan" She smiled wide as well and walked the distance between them pushing him to the door, if they were lucky they could leave before papa or Trunks saw them.

"If you dare lay one filthy finger on my child I will kill you very painfully." Vegeta's voice came from somewhere in the room, they turned looking for the Ouji; he was leaning against a doorframe some ten feet away.

"Vegeta-san" Goten said nervously, he was clearly shaken by the words, Bra pursed her lips frustrated, it was always the same, no matter who it was papa always scared the hell out of everybody…but not this time she will not let anything ruin her long awaited date with Goten.

"Papa Goten will take good care of me, won't you Goten-kun?" She asked holding his arm.

"Of course… I mean, I'll take care of her as I do to Pan." Goten managed to say.

"Shut up, just bring her home at a decent hour." Then the Saiyan prince walked past Goten brushing his shoulder purposely as he passed. Goten swallowed audibly and smiled tightly at the being he feared the most. He'd grown up listening the horror stories Trunks told of his father, and the saddest part was that Trunks was actually proud of the cruelties the Saiyan Ouji committed before they were even born, Vegeta-san was Trunks idol with a capital I.

"Let's go Goten-kun!" Bra pulled his arm and they made their way out of the Capsule Corp compound.

"So…what movie do you want to see?" Goten smiled going back to his old self.

"I don't care, you pick." Bra tightened her arm around his and smiled dreamily

"How about "Underworld"?" Bra made a little frown.

"No seriously, I heard is a really good movie, about vampires and werewolves, its got romance and all."

"About we don't go to the movies and go to the beach instead?" Bra pulled her shirt down at the shoulder to show Goten her bikini strap; Goten just kept on hearing Vegeta's menacing voice in his head…if you dare… He knew it had been a bad idea to mess up with Bra to begin with, but at the time he had wanted to make Trunks jealous…hmph as if he could! He was lucky if Trunks wasn't somewhere having fun and laughing his ass off at him for being such a looser.

"Well…I don't have my bathing suit with me, we do that next time ok?" Next time?! He'll be damned if he ever went out with this little girl again.

"Hey" The deep familiar voice of Trunks Briefs startled the both of them, Bra seemed annoyed and Goten just wanted to leave already, the last thing he had wanted was to meet up with Trunks.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Bra in an annoyed tone.

"I live here last I knew," Trunks answered sarcastically. "Don't you say hi chibi?"

"Hey" Goten answered looking the other way; he still was upset with Trunks for treating him like shit. He thought it over long and hard in the past few days and decided not to talk to the lavender haired proud demi Saiyan until he apologized.

"So where you guys going, to the movies?" Trunks asked in his slide little tone, the one he used to talk to everyone he thought beneath him.

"No we're going to the beach, and if your highness let us through we can be on our way." Bra answered trying to push past her brother with no success.

"Wait a minute… why in such a rush? I'm going to the beach too, I'll come with so that niece of yours won't feel left out, ne chibi?" Trunks' smirk got the better of Goten, it was always like this… Trunks knows it all, have all the answers, all the smooth lines, and he, like a moron always had to do what the older, richer and breathtakingly beautiful bastard told him to.

"We are actually going by ourselves." Goten found himself saying, he took Bra by the shoulders and push her forward gently. Trunks looked shocked for a second but quickly recovered. Goten gave his best friend one of his own trademark smirks, even if Trunks was shocked for one second, it was well worth it.

"That's right!" Bra said with such pride and confidence it almost made him feel bad to use her to get to her brother.

"A date?" Trunks said after a while "…I see," his tone totally different from before. "Well have fun you two." He added tightly and walked away.

"We will." Goten replied just as tightly and push Bra gently again, they began walking away as well; not noticing the dark stare the lavender eyed one gave them

"Seriously, you do have enough money ne chibi, or you need me to lend you some?" Trunks yelled as Goten reached his car, the black haired demi gritted his teeth but said nothing, he opened the door for Bra, got in and drove away.

Trunks came in the house like a hurricane, he flew past Bulma almost knocking her over in the process, the stunned woman didn't even have time to see the blur her son left behind. He went directly into his room and began throwing and tearing everything in his path.

"Bitch!!" he yelled over and over, "Fucking bastard…bitch, whore!" Finally the room stood in shambles and Trunks leaned against the windowsill panting, but not from exhaustion, anger was more like it. His body felt as if it had too much to consume, rage felt so keen to him right then, he's never felt it in this degree before. Goten was His and no one else's! No spoiled daddy's little girl was going to come and steal him away, not after all these years of wanting, waiting and being confused about his feeling for his so called friend. And the bastard! One little fight and he already was looking to replace him. Kuso! And he looked so good too. Daddy's little princess must sure feel proud to walk around with such a god.

"Goten…" Trunks whispered to himself softly rubbing his temples frustrated. He could still hear those words he took for granted a few days ago… "I'm going to start having sex like normal people, no more free shows for you Trunks-sama..." Did you mean it chibi; will you do that to me…with my own sister? Trunks whispered softly to himself

"Ooh, but two can play this game… chibi." He blurted out through his teeth.

"Are you through?" A voice startled him, he snapped his gaze towards the door to see his father leaning against its frame…kuso…of all people!

"Tossan!" Trunks looked the other way avoiding eye contact, the two most important people in his life saw him falter today…can this day get any worse? "I was just…"

"I don't care what you were doing, but I will not have you scare your mother half to death every time your lap dog strays." Trunks looked at him shocked; did Tossan actually know why he was so upset?

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Like I said, I don't care, but let me tell you something I learned long ago, take it as an advice or threat, makes no difference to me. If you let your sister in and do nothing but rant and whine about it, that dog is not coming back to your lap." Vegeta came in the room and took a look around at the mess, "I tell you! Of all the decent people in this miserable mud ball, both my children had to chose the same moron to drool over, where the hell did I go wrong!?"

"Tossan." Trunks began to protest but was halted by his father's angry gaze.

"Gravity Room, now!" Trunks did not need to be told twice, he was actually glad for the much needed release he was in for.

+++

"So what movie are we going to see, Bra-chan?" Goten asked as he drove aimlessly, he could not take Trunks face off his mind, he was mad, really mad, although he was not sure how he could tell. His best friend never really showed any feelings other than lust, and that was only when they played their games. In that sense Trunks was just like Vegeta-san you never knew what he felt until it was too late.

"My brother's such a jerk." Bra said almost apologetic, "Why do you even hang out with him?" Goten smiled bitterly, he had asked himself the very same question more than once.

"We been friends for a long time, you get used to it, besides something must have been bugging him, he isn't always like this."

"Yes he is, if he doesn't get it his way, he acts like a two year old."

"Don't let it get to you, I don't, let's just have fun." Goten tried to change the subject, he was not about to discuss Trunks with Bra of all people. "So what movie do you want to see?"

"I want to go to the beach, you said that yourself." The girl gave him a mischievous little look with those eyes that looked just like his, but without the fire…Trunks…

"I told you I don't have my suit."

"You told my brother we're going to the beach, so we're going to the beach, I'll buy you a suit." Goten just looked at her, but said nothing. What was with them thinking everything could be fixed by throwing their money around?

"If you want to go that bad, I'll drive by home to get my bathing suit." Goten said tonelessly.

"Yay!"

They came into the house Goten had grown up in. Bra's only been here a handful of times with her mother. It was an old shack and it smelled like food. Goten seemed so out of place here. She smiled at Chichi-san who was looking at her as if she was some evil whore trying to take her baby away. Bra tried her best not to touch anything and soil her clothes.

"Bra-chan!" a childish voice yelped from behind her scaring her half to death, that voice could only belong to one person… she smiled and turned around to be confronted by the one whose name was never forgiven nor forgotten in her own home.

"Kakarotto-san," Bra smiled a little apprehensively. She liked him a lot, but Goten looked so much like this man it was not even funny, it made her feel weird for a second or two. He gave her a big hug, a little too tight for her taste and a kiss on each cheek. He smelled like grass and wind, if wind even had a smell; it was very soothing in fact. If papa saw this, he would be so pissed, she thought amusedly. Unlike Goten's mother, Kakarotto-san was all right by her, in fact there was something inviting about him, soothing, it made her trust him completely…is this what it would feel like to be in Goten's arms? She thought as papa's only "enemy" held her. He let her go and just looked at her for a bit.

"Wow, I cannot believe how much you've grown, the last time I saw you, you were this big." He said putting his hand out a little above his knee to show how little she had been. Chichi-san didn't look too happy and just gave her husband a weird look. "So how is Vegeta?" Kakarotto-san asked neither noticing nor caring about his wife's venomous look.

"He's alright I guess." Bra answered, she felt a little better now; Kakarotto-san had that way of making people feel at ease, "He trains a lot, and fight with kassan and Trunks a lot…same `ol same `ol." She smiled.

"Sounds about right." Kakarotto-san smiled back, "Are you here to pick up Pan, she's not here, I take you to Gohan's if you want?" Kakarotto-san put a hand on her shoulder and brought two fingers to his forehead

"She's here with Goten," Chichi-san added angrily before they could teleport. Kakarotto-san let go of her and fixed his eyes on his wife.

"Goten!?" He looked strangely, and then smiled widely and turned to look at her, "Are you dating Goten… does Vegeta approve?" Bra's cheeks turned red.

"I…we're…" Bra stuttered.

"We're just going to the beach," Goten suddenly came in the room sporting swimming trunks and a tight fitting tank… her face flushed, and the fact that both his parent were in the room did not make matters easier. He looked amazing, his body could only be compared to Michel Angelo's sculptures. If she hadn't been sure before, she was sure now, this man must be hers at all costs.

"By themselves!" Chichi-san said as angry as before.

"Is alright I'll take her home early, besides I promise her and Pan I'd take them out." Goten said calmly ignoring his mother the same way Kakarotto-san ignored her before. "Pan's grounded today, but I promised Bra-chan…so here we are." Goten said as if he were bothered by it, Bra didn't care, as long as they went out, she could win him over…watch out Goten-kun, by the end of this date you'll be crazy about me.

"Ok so we're leaving," chanted Bra grabbing Goten by the arm and pulling him to the door, "Thank you Chichi-san, Kakarotto-san I will tell papa you said hi." And she pulled the younger Son out of the house.

+++

"Is that all you got!?" Vegeta stood over Trunks, the teen lay sprawled on the ground bleeding from various places, "I thought you were angry and I was in for a real fight this time." Vegeta continued disgustedly.

"Tossan…" Trunks began; Vegeta kicked him in the gut, sending him flying to the other end of the room.

"I don't want your excuses, if you're not going to put 150% into training because of that moron, I recommend you go and find out what he's up to." Vegeta turned to the gravity controls and turned them off, setting the gravity back to normal once more. Trunks just lay there for a while, thinking on what his father just said…go and find out… the younger prince smirked, Tossan was always like this, giving him advice in the form of scolding, that was one of the things he loved about the proud Saiyan the most. It made him even happier to know that this time Tossan was on his side and not Bra's. Even if it was because Tossan thought Goten was a moron and didn't deserve to be around his precious little princess.

"Is not what you're thinking," Vegeta snapped as if reading his thoughts, "I hate to admit it, but that… boy, is the only one left who can mate either of you, and I know you been working at it for a while."

"Tossan!" Trunks' cheeks were beet red, since when Tossan knows about his feelings for Goten?

"Stop saying Tossan and turning red like a little girl and get the hell out of here!" Vegeta snapped and took him by the back of his collar throwing him very unceremoniously out of the GR. Trunks smiled widely as he heard the door close behind him, it would be pointless to say thank you, Tossan knew, he always did. He broke into a dead run to his room and called every girl he knew … You think I'm jealous chibi… wait until I'm done with you.

A/N Can we all just get along peoples!? Why can they just admit they have feelings for one another and fuck `till Kingdom Come? I guess we wouldn't have a fic if that was the case ne^^ Anyhow, next chapter Goten and Trunks put their little plans into action…I wonder who will crack first? Mmm… I'm betting for Goten^^
