~Ginkoneko Hikari~ by Saiyan Moon Goddess
~Chapter 2: The Drawings of the Fallen Tenshi~
It was lunch time at school. Three weeks had passed since Ginkoneko's
arrival. Now Trunks, Bra, and Goten were her best friends. She was
enjoying school, thought she didn't like to study that much.
Ginkoneko was happily drinking from an ice cream shake that Trunks bought
her. (Yes, in this cafeteria they have ice cream shakes, I love that.)
Trunks was sitting beside her, and Bra and Goten were sitting in front
of them, talking. Trunks was staring at Ginkoneko.
"And she told me the guy likes me, but I told her: The most popular
girl in school is already taken.", Bra said to Goten and they started
laughing.
Ginkoneko looked at Trunks.
"What's wrong Trunks?", she asked.
"Huh? Nothing is wrong. Why?", he said.
"Well, you have been staring at me since we arrived at school this
morning. It's something the matter?"
'Actually, I've been staring at you since I first met you.', he thought,
then said, "No, but if you feel uncomfortable by my staring, then I'll
stop."
"No, I don't feel bad about it. I just felt a little strange that's
all.", Ginkoneko replied smiling.
Trunks returned the smile.
Goten and Bra were looking at them and whispering to each other.
"Hey Goten-chan, is it me, or are those two falling in love?", Bra whispered.
"No doubt, they're falling in love."
"Hw long until they become a couple?"
"Not too long I think."
They stayed silent for a while, Trunks and Ginkoneko staring at each other,
and Bra and Goten staring at them while eating.
After a few minutes, Koneko broke the silence.
"Hey Trunks, I wanted to tell you something. But it has to be in
private."
Ginkoneko glanced at Bra and Goten.
Bra and Goten looked at each other, then back at Ginkoneko and grinned.
"Sure.", Bra said as she and Goten stood up.
"We'll just leave you two love birds all alone."
Bra and Goten walked away.
Ginkoneko looked at Trunks.
"What did you want to ask me?", Trunks asked.
"Well, my mom is very histerical lately, because you and I are friends.
She thinks we're something......more. My mother doesn't trust men."
"Why not?"
"It's a personal reason. I can't tell you."
"You don't trust me?", Trunks said feeling a little angry. One of his
best friends didn't trust him, thought he felt guilty for asking
such a thing.
Ginkoneko looked at the floor with a sad expression. Trunks
quickly regreted asking that.
"Oh no. Koneko gomen nasai. I shouldn't have ask you that, it's not
my business. Please forgive me."
Ginkoneko looked back at him smiling sweetly.
"It's okay Trunks, maybe someday I'll tell you. I thought that maybe
my mother would feel much better if you came home with me today to
meet her."
"That's a good idea. I always wanted to fly you home anyway, ever
since we met."
"And I could get used to fly around the city. It's fun."
"Then I'll stay at your house tonight, if you want me to."
"Of course I want you to. I don't think my mother will mind. She's
overprotective with me, but she loves me very much and wants me
to be happy."
Just then, the bell rang. Lunch time was over.
Ginkoneko and Trunks stood up from the table.
"What class do we have now?", Koneko asked.
"History.", Trunks replied.
"Great, my worst subject.", Ginkoneko grumbled.
They went to their classroom.
A FEW HOURS LATER......
Ginkoneko, Trunks, Bra, and Goten were leaving the school.
"Hey Bra, please tell mom and dad I won't be coming home tonight.
I'm staying at Koneko's house."
"Okay.", Bra said winking at Koneko.
Ginkoneko blushed lightly and looked the other way.
"See you tomorrow Trunks!"
Bra and Goten flew away.
"Well, let's go.", Trunks said.
Trunks lifted Ginkoneko up and took off into the air.
Ginkoneko wrapped her arms around Trunks' neck tightly as he flew faster.
Thanks to the directions Ginkoneko gave him, Trunks landed in front of her
house in a few minutes. He set Ginkoneko on her feet.
"This is your house? It looks nice."
"Arigato. My mom probably hasn't come home yet, she works in the
city all day."
"What does she do?"
"She's a teacher in the university. Come on, I'll make something to
eat."
Ginkoneko and Trunks went into the house.
Ginkoneko went into the kitchen and set her backpack on the floor. She
washed her hands, she took out some food from the refrigerator and
started cooking dinner.
"My mom is a great cook, she taugh me everything she knows. Wait until
you try what I'm going to do."
"I can't wait.", Trunks said smiling.
While Ginkoneko was cooking, they heard the front door opening. A woman
with short pink hair and purple eyes entered the house.
"Koneko-chan? Are you home?", she called.
"I'm here mom.", came Ginkoneko's voice from the kitchen.
The woman went inside the kitchen, and saw her daughter with a lavender
haired young man. She gasped and stayed frozen.
Ginkoneko then remembered about her mom not trusting men. She approached
her.
"Trunks, I like you to meet my mother Haiku. Mom, this is my friend
Trunks, the one I talked to you about."
Ginkoneko's mother, Haiku, eyed Trunks suspiciously. Then she started
sorrounding Trunks looking at him up and down, and she stared at him
right in the eyes.
"Alright young man, start explaining. Who are your parents?"
"Vegeta and Bulma Briefs.", Trunks replied nervously.
"Bulma Briefs? The owner of CC?"
Trunks nodded.
"You're not planning on doing something to my little Koneko-chan and then
dump her off are you?!"
Trunks and Ginkoneko's faces turned scarlet. Ginkoneko looked the other way
and continued cutting vegetables.
"Oh mom.", Ginkoneko muttered.
"If you're my little girl's boyfriend you better not be playing with
her, or you'll live to regret it!", Haiku continued, "I've heard of
rich men who like to play with young girls!"
"But Haiku-san, I would never....I mean....we're not-"
"I'm not finished! You better make my Koneko happy, or you'll be
messing with me! Have I made myself clear?!"
Trunks gulped. He didn't dare to say something back, this woman
scared him. He only nodded.
When Trunks agreed, Haiku suddenly smiled cheerfully and stepped
away from him.
"That's good to hear. Then you can stay here any day at any time
Trunks-kun. Nice meeting you."
Haiku shook hands with Trunks and left the kitchen. Trunks stood there
with a confused expression.
"What was that all about? She reminds me of Goten's mother."
"I told you she was histerical.", Ginkoneko said while boiling some water.
"She looks angry, then she becomes cheerful. It's strange, isn't it?"
"You've said it."
DINNER TIME:
"Wow Koneko, it's delicious.", Trunks commented.
"Arigato."
"Of course it's delicious. I taugh her after all.", Haiku said proudly.
Ginkoneko stared at Trunks while she ate, she couldn't stop thinking
about him.
'Oh Trunks-kun, it's been only a week and I can't stop looking at you.
I bet that every girl in school wants to have an oportunity like this,
to have Trunks in their house. He's so handsome and such a good person
too.', Ginkoneko thought to herself. 'I really do want him to be my
boyfriend, but I'm afraid to ask. Trunks-kun, what do you think
about me?'
THAT NIGHT.....
Ginkoneko showed Trunks her room. It was decorated in moons and stars
and white kittens. There were drawings on the walls, and
all of them had Ginkoneko's signature on it. Trunks approached the walls
and noticed that there was a woman in every drawing, it wasn't
Ginkoneko's mother, that's for sure, but she looked familiar, somehow.
'I feel like I've seen this woman before, but where? I don't remember.
I'll ask Koneko about it.', Trunks thought and turned to Koneko
Before Trunks could about the woman in the drawings, Ginkoneko turned
to him smiling.
"Do you like my drawings? I made them all."
Trunks looked at the drawings again and smiled.
"Yeah, they're beautiful. They look like they were made by a profesional.
Are you sure it was you?"
Ginkoneko let out a short laugh.
"Of course it was me silly. I started drawing when I was a kid."
"Did you take drawing lessons?"
"A few. I have a lot of talent, so I don't think I need them."
"Koneko, may I ask you something?"
"Go ahead."
"Who is that lady that appears in all the drawings?"
"To be honest, I don't know myself."
"Huh?"
"I don't remember. I probably imagined her when I was little. I love
the drawings I made, so I continued making drawings of her. I imagined
her as a tenshi, sometimes as a fallen tenshi, and othertimes I imagined
her with me, she was wearing strange clothes, but that's the way
I imagined her."
Ginkoneko approached the drawings and touched one of them with her right
hand.
"I feel like I've met her before, and she doesn't even exist. But
sometimes I feel like.....I feel like this drawings would come alive
any second now. It's like she's watching me everytime."
"You know Koneko, I feel like I've met her too, but I don't remember."
Trunks looked at the drawings one by one. In each drawing, the woman
had a different appearance, different poses, different symbols
around her, different clothes, and different expressions.
In the first drawing, the woman was wearing a beautiful white kimono
with twenty angel wings on her back, her hands were touching her chest,
her eyes were closed, but the expression on her face was very sad.
She looked like a young adult.
"How old is she?", Trunks asked Koneko.
"I'm not sure. I think she's in her young thirties.", Ginkoneko replied.
Ginkoneko was right, the woman did look like she was in her young thirties.
Trunks looked at the next drawing. In this one, the woman was wearing
strange royal and heavy looking clothes, her arms were wide open in front
of her, as if she was welcoming someone or saying "I'm waiting for you".
She was smiling warmly, and her lips were red. She also had a strange
symbol on her forehead.
"You know what Koneko? This lady looks a lot like you.", Trunks commented.
"I know, mom says that a lot of times, but look a little closer, don't you
notice the difference?"
"Well, apart that she is older, her clothes are different, her hair is
a little different. What else?"
"Her eyes.", Ginkoneko replied.
Trunks looked at the drawing again, the woman's eyes were......silver.
"Silver eyes? She still looks beautiful thought. And what does the symbol
on her forehead means?"
"I don't know. She always has it."
Trunks looked at the next drawing. This one had the woman wearing the
same clothes as the last one, she was looking at the sphere that was
floating between her hands with a serious and emotionless expression.
The floating sphere was planet Earth, and it looked like the size of a
basketball because the woman was bigger than it. It looked so small
in her hands, so insignificant. The woman's face didn't show any
emotion; no fear, no hate or love, no sadness, no nothing.
In the drawing next to that one the woman was still wearing the same
clothes, her hands were in front of her, and each one had a symbol
floating above them. Floating above her right hand was a moon with a
star attached to it, both were silver. Floating above her left hand
was a gold medal with a strange symbol. Trunks recognized it and gasped
in shock.
"Koneko."
"Yes?", Ginkoneko said looking up from her drawing book.
"Where did you saw this symbol?", Trunks pointed to the symbol on the drawing.
"Nowhere, It just popped into my head out of nowhere and I drew it, the
moon on my necklace was with it."
"But,......that symbol......"
"What's wrong?"
Trunks turned to face her and approached her.
"Look."
He pulled out something from under his shirt. It was a silver chain tied
around his neck with a gold medal with a strange symbol on it. Ginkoneko
gasped.
"It's the same medal on my drawing. Who gave it to you?", she said.
"I don't remember. I've had it since I was little. I forgot to show
it to you, I didn't know you had seen it."
"In the drawing the lady is holding your gold medal and my silver moon
together.", Ginkoneko added in shock.
"Maybe it has a special meaning."
"Yes, but what?"
Both look at the drawing with shocked and confused looks. Ginkoneko decided
to push the thought away.
"We can find out later. Come one Trunks, I want to show you something."
Ginkoneko pulled Trunks to the window.
"Where are we going?"
"Let's go the roof of the house. Would you mind taking me there?", Ginkoneko
replied grabbing her drawing book, her pencil, and her eraser.
"Sure."
Trunks grabbed Ginkoneko by the waist and floated through the open window,
he levitated until he reached the roof and landed. He let go of Ginkoneko
and she sat on the roof.
Ginkoneko opened her drawing book in a blank page and prepared to make a
new drawing.
"What are you going to draw now Koneko?", Trunks asked curiously.
"It's a surprise. So just sit over there.", Ginkoneko pointed at a spot
away from her.
"Alright."
Trunks on the spot away from Ginkoneko and glanced at the moon. He extended
one leg in front of him and moved the other leg close to him, he rested
one arm on his knee and placed the other behind his back supporting his
body on the hard ceiling. He kept staring at the moon.
Ginkoneko was staring at him and drawing.
'That's a perfect pose. I didn't have to tell him anything.', she thought
excited as she continued to draw him.
She finished her work quickly, just as Trunks glanced at her.
"I finished!", she declared.
"What did you draw?", Trunks asked smiling.
"Take a look."
Trunks approached Ginkoneko and tooked the drawing book. He examined the
drawing. It was him sitting on the roof and staring at the night sky.
"Do you like it?", Koneko asked hopefully.
"I love it."
Ginkoneko was so happy that almost unconsciously she jumped on him and gave
him a bear hug.
Trunks was taken by surprise, especially when he noticed that her grip
was suddenly getting stronger and stronger. She was actually strangling him!!
'Oh Kami! Since when did she become so strong?', Trunks thought as his
face started getting red, he was running out of air.
He quickly brought his arms to hers and gently unwrapped her arms from
his neck with some difficulty.
Ginkoneko finally realized what she was doing and let go of him. The saiyan
youth rubbed his sore neck.
"Oh Trunks, gomen nasai. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just couldn't
resist hugging you.", the silver haired girl bowed her head apologizing.
"It's okay Koneko-chan. You don't have to apologize."
Ginkoneko looked up when she heard the word 'chan'.
"What did you call me?"
'I can't believe it. I called her Koneko-chan without thinking.', Trunks
thought.
"I called you......Koneko-chan."
"Oh Trunks-chan! I thought you would never call me that!", she said
almost crying and smiling.
Trunks smiled and looked at the rest of the drawings on her book. There
were more drawings of the strange lady.
In the first drawing the woman was sitting on a bed, wearing her royal
and heavy looking clothes, the same symbol on her forehead. Her blue
eyes were staring at the small bundle she was holding in her arms, wrapped
in a pink blanket. She was inside a dark room and the moonlight was the
only thing iluminating it.
Trunks passed to the next page. In the second drawing the woman was
wearing a strange suit that covered all her body, except part of her face,
her eyes were tightly closed and there were tears streaming down her
cheeks, her mouth was wide open, showing that she was screaming; the
symbol on her forehead was glowing and her arms were extended to her
sides as her body was sorrounded by a bright aura.
Trunks was confused, she looked like she was screaming her loss to the
world. What kind of loss?
He passed to the third page and the drawing had the woman sitting on the
branch of a tree with a man beside her. They were drawn from behind,
only their backs were shown. The man had an arm around the woman's
shoulders, they were very close. Both of them were staring at the night
sky in front of them as the woman was resting her head on the man's
shoulder. The picture looked quite romantic.
"Koneko-chan, who is that man she's with?"
"Gomen Trunks-chan, because I can't answer your questions. I've been
drawing the first things that come to my mind, and almost every time
I imagine that lady. Look at the last picture on the book."
Trunks turned the page. The last drawing was of the woman with a little
girl beside her, they were holding hands. The woman was wearing her royal
clothes, and the little girl was a mirror image of her, in physical
appearance, only that the girl had different eyes. Both were smiling
at each other and the little girl looked excited. The woman was looking
at her with loving eyes.
"Who's the little girl?", Trunks asked.
"That's me.", Ginkoneko replied.
"Really?"
"Yeah, sometimes I imagine that lady with me. Everytime I see her I have
a strange feeling inside of me. Sometimes I can't explain it. It's like
love, happiness, and sadness at the same time."
"You dream about her?"
"Sometimes, yes, or maybe I just imagine her, but only for a short time."
Ginkoneko and Trunks stayed silent for a few minutes, just staring at the
sky, until Ginkoneko broke the silence.
"Hey Trunks, it's getting pretty late, we should go to sleep. We have
school tomorrow."
"Yeah, you're right. Let's go."
After Ginkoneko grabbed her things, Trunks lifted her up in his arms and
descended to her room.
Once inside, Ginkoneko searched through her closet until she found a sleeping
bag. She was about to place it beside her bed until she saw something
on the floor."
"Oh, I almost forgot.", she said.
Ginkoneko put the sleeping bag on her bed and left the room. Trunks looked
curiously at the floor and saw a puddle of water beside the bed. Did the
roof had a hole in it or something?
Ginkoneko returned to the room carrying a mop. She saw Trunks staring at the
puddle.
"Oh don't worry Trunks, there is always a water puddle near my bed every
morning. I forgot to clean this one up."
"Does it rain frequently around here?", Trunks asked.
"Yes, but that's not even rain water. Touch it."
Trunks was confused, but he did as Koneko told him, he approached the
water puddle and touched it. It felt warm.
"It feels too warm to be rain water."
Ginkoneko nodded. Trunks brought his hand to his face and tasted the water.
"It tastes salty.", he said.
"Yeah, I know."
Ginkoneko cleaned up the puddle with the mop, then she set the mop on a
corner of the room and placed the sleeping bag beside her bed.
"I hope this sleeping bag is cosy enough."
"I'm sure it is."
Ginkoneko went inside her bathroom to change her clothes while Trunks changed
outside. When she came out she was wearing long and cosy light blue
pijamas with kittens on them. Trunks was already laying on the sleeping
bag, arms behind his head and staring at the ceiling. Ginkoneko lay down
under the covers of her bed and looked down at Trunks.
"Oyasumi nasai Trunks-chan."
"Oyasumi nasai Koneko-chan."
After a few minutes both of them fell asleep.
Just then a bright light appeared on the window and entered the room. The
white light tooked figure and stopped glowing. The figure approached the
two sleeping teenagers and sat in a chair beside them quietly. It stared
at them and smiled.

sometimes I feel like.....I feel like this drawings would come alive
any second now. It's like she's watching me everytime."
"You know Koneko, I feel like I've met her too, but I don't remember."
Trunks looked at the drawings one by one. In each drawing, the woman
had a different appearance, different poses, different symbols
around her, different clothes, and different expressions.
In the first drawing, the woman was wearing a beautiful white kimono
with twenty angel wings on her back, her hands were touching her chest,
her eyes were closed, but the expression on her face was very sad.
She looked like a young adult.
"How old is she?", Trunks asked Koneko.
"I'm not sure. I think she's in her young thirties.", Ginkoneko replied.
Ginkoneko was right, the woman did look like she was in her young thirties.
Trunks looked at the next drawing. In this one, the woman was wearing
strange royal and heavy looking clothes, her arms were wide open in front
of her, as if she was welcoming someone or saying "I'm waiting for you".
She was smiling warmly, and her lips were red. She also had a strange
symbol on her forehead.
"You know what Koneko? This lady looks a lot like you.", Trunks commented.
"I know, mom says that a lot of times, but look a little closer, don't you
notice the difference?"
"Well, apart that she is older, her clothes are different, her hair is
a little different. What else?"
"Her eyes.", Ginkoneko replied.
Trunks looked at the drawing again, the woman's eyes were......silver.
"Silver eyes? She still looks beautiful thought. And what does the symbol
on her forehead means?"
"I don't know. She always has it."
Trunks looked at the next drawing. This one had the woman wearing the
same clothes as the last one, she was looking at the sphere that was
floating between her hands with a serious and emotionless expression.
The floating sphere was planet Earth, and it looked like the size of a
basketball because the woman was bigger than it. It looked so small
in her hands, so insignificant. The woman's face didn't show any
emotion; no fear, no hate or love, no sadness, no nothing.
In the drawing next to that one the woman was still wearing the same
clothes, her hands were in front of her, and each one had a symbol
floating above them. Floating above her right hand was a moon with a
star attached to it, both were silver. Floating above her left hand
was a gold medal with a strange symbol. Trunks recognized it and gasped
in shock.
"Koneko."
"Yes?", Ginkoneko said looking up from her drawing book.
"Where did you saw this symbol?", Trunks pointed to the symbol on the drawing.
"Nowhere, It just popped into my head out of nowhere and I drew it, the
moon on my necklace was with it."
"But,......that symbol......"
"What's wrong?"
Trunks turned to face her and approached her.
"Look."
He pulled out something from under his shirt. It was a silver chain tied
around his neck with a gold medal with a strange symbol on it. Ginkoneko
gasped.
"It's the same medal on my drawing. Who gave it to you?", she said.
"I don't remember. I've had it since I was little. I forgot to show
it to you, I didn't know you had seen it."
"In the drawing the lady is holding your gold medal and my silver moon
together.", Ginkoneko added in shock.
"Maybe it has a special meaning."
"Yes, but what?"
Both look at the drawing with shocked and confused looks. Ginkoneko decided
to push the thought away.
"We can find out later. Come one Trunks, I want to show you something."
Ginkoneko pulled Trunks to the window.
"Where are we going?"
"Let's go the roof of the house. Would you mind taking me there?", Ginkoneko
replied grabbing her drawing book, her pencil, and her eraser.
"Sure."
Trunks grabbed Ginkoneko by the waist and floated through the open window,
he levitated until he reached the roof and landed. He let go of Ginkoneko
and she sat on the roof.
Ginkoneko opened her drawing book in a blank page and prepared to make a
new drawing.
"What are you going to draw now Koneko?", Trunks asked curiously.
"It's a surprise. So just sit over there.", Ginkoneko pointed at a spot
away from her.
"Alright."
Trunks on the spot away from Ginkoneko and glanced at the moon. He extended
one leg in front of him and moved the other leg close to him, he rested
one arm on his knee and placed the other behind his back supporting his
body on the hard ceiling. He kept staring at the moon.
Ginkoneko was staring at him and drawing.
'That's a perfect pose. I didn't have to tell him anything.', she thought
excited as she continued to draw him.
She finished her work quickly, just as Trunks glanced at her.
"I finished!", she declared.
"What did you draw?", Trunks asked smiling.
"Take a look."
Trunks approached Ginkoneko and tooked the drawing book. He examined the
drawing. It was him sitting on the roof and staring at the night sky.
"Do you like it?", Koneko asked hopefully.
"I love it."
Ginkoneko was so happy that almost unconsciously she jumped on him and gave
him a bear hug.
Trunks was taken by surprise, especially when he noticed that her grip
was suddenly getting stronger and stronger. She was actually strangling him!!
'Oh Kami! Since when did she become so strong?', Trunks thought as his
face started getting red, he was running out of air.
He quickly brought his arms to hers and gently unwrapped her arms from
his neck with some difficulty.
Ginkoneko finally realized what she was doing and let go of him. The saiyan
youth rubbed his sore neck.
"Oh Trunks, gomen nasai. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just couldn't
resist hugging you.", the silver haired girl bowed her head apologizing.
"It's okay Koneko-chan. You don't have to apologize."
Ginkoneko looked up when she heard the word 'chan'.
"What did you call me?"
'I can't believe it. I called her Koneko-chan without thinking.', Trunks
thought.
"I called you......Koneko-chan."
"Oh Trunks-chan! I thought you would never call me that!", she said
almost crying and smiling.
Trunks smiled and looked at the rest of the drawings on her book. There
were more drawings of the strange lady.
In the first drawing the woman was sitting on a bed, wearing her royal
and heavy looking clothes, the same symbol on her forehead. Her blue
eyes were staring at the small bundle she was holding in her arms, wrapped
in a pink blanket. She was inside a dark room and the moonlight was the
only thing iluminating it.
Trunks passed to the next page. In the second drawing the woman was
wearing a strange suit that covered all her body, except part of her face,
her eyes were tightly closed and there were tears streaming down her
cheeks, her mouth was wide open, showing that she was screaming; the
symbol on her forehead was glowing and her arms were extended to her
sides as her body was sorrounded by a bright aura.
Trunks was confused, she looked like she was screaming her loss to the
world. What kind of loss?
He passed to the third page and the drawing had the woman sitting on the
branch of a tree with a man beside her. They were drawn from behind,
only their backs were shown. The man had an arm around the woman's
shoulders, they were very close. Both of them were staring at the night
sky in front of them as the woman was resting her head on the man's
shoulder. The picture looked quite romantic.
"Koneko-chan, who is that man she's with?"
"Gomen Trunks-chan, because I can't answer your questions. I've been
drawing the first things that come to my mind, and almost every time
I imagine that lady. Look at the last picture on the book."
Trunks turned the page. The last drawing was of the woman with a little
girl beside her, they were holding hands. The woman was wearing her royal
clothes, and the little girl was a mirror image of her, in physical
appearance, only that the girl had different eyes. Both were smiling
at each other and the little girl looked excited. The woman was looking
at her with loving eyes.
"Who's the little girl?", Trunks asked.
"That's me.", Ginkoneko replied.
"Really?"
"Yeah, sometimes I imagine that lady with me. Everytime I see her I have
a strange feeling inside of me. Sometimes I can't explain it. It's like
love, happiness, and sadness at the same time."
"You dream about her?"
"Sometimes, yes, or maybe I just imagine her, but only for a short time."
Ginkoneko and Trunks stayed silent for a few minutes, just staring at the
sky, until Ginkoneko broke the silence.
"Hey Trunks, it's getting pretty late, we should go to sleep. We have
school tomorrow."
"Yeah, you're right. Let's go."
After Ginkoneko grabbed her things, Trunks lifted her up in his arms and
descended to her room.
Once inside, Ginkoneko searched through her closet until she found a sleeping
bag. She was about to place it beside her bed until she saw something
on the floor."
"Oh, I almost forgot.", she said.
Ginkoneko put the sleeping bag on her bed and left the room. Trunks looked
curiously at the floor and saw a puddle of water beside the bed. Did the
roof had a hole in it or something?
Ginkoneko returned to the room carrying a mop. She saw Trunks staring at the
puddle.
"Oh don't worry Trunks, there is always a water puddle near my bed every
morning. I forgot to clean this one up."
"Does it rain frequently around here?", Trunks asked.
"Yes, but that's not even rain water. Touch it."
Trunks was confused, but he did as Koneko told him, he approached the
water puddle and touched it. It felt warm.
"It feels too warm to be rain water."
Ginkoneko nodded. Trunks brought his hand to his face and tasted the water.
"It tastes salty.", he said.
"Yeah, I know."
Ginkoneko cleaned up the puddle with the mop, then she set the mop on a
corner of the room and placed the sleeping bag beside her bed.
"I hope this sleeping bag is cosy enough."
"I'm sure it is."
Ginkoneko went inside her bathroom to change her clothes while Trunks changed
outside. When she came out she was wearing long and cosy light blue
pijamas with kittens on them. Trunks was already laying on the sleeping
bag, arms behind his head and staring at the ceiling. Ginkoneko lay down
under the covers of her bed and looked down at Trunks.
"Oyasumi nasai Trunks-chan."
"Oyasumi nasai Koneko-chan."
After a few minutes both of them fell asleep.
Just then a bright light appeared on the window and entered the room. The
white light tooked figure and stopped glowing. The figure approached the
two sleeping teenagers and sat in a chair beside them quietly. It stared
at them and smiled.
