~Ginkoneko Hikari~ by Saiyan Moon Goddess
~Chapter 6: Reflections and Opinions~


Ginkoneko woke up groaning. Her hand went to her forehead, her head was
pounding and she was covered in cold sweat.

"What was that? Was that real?", she said.

She knew there was only one way to answer her question. She took her
necklace and turned the moon and star over. The name Ryoko was written
on it.

"I never knew this name was there. Maybe it belonged to someone else
before."

Ginkoneko closed her eyes and fell asleep again after she noticed that
the sky was still dark. Another dream took place.

*DREAM*

Ginkoneko was in front of the same destroyed house. The little girl,
still covered in blood, was sitting in front of it, hugging her legs and
her head on her knees, crying. Ginkoneko approached her and kneeled
beside her.

"Why are you crying?", Ginkoneko asked.

"I lost my life, my family, and friends. I'm alone.", the girl replied,
not looking at her.

"You have no one?"

"Everyone is dead, including me, my mother is the only one alive. She
can't die. My soul was seperated from the others, then you came, you
forgot about me and lived a happy life, unlike mine."

"Forgot you? But you're me, aren't you? How can I forget you?",
Ginkoneko said.

"You are me, but you're living a different reality, a happy and perfect
one. Forgeting me is the best thing you did.", the golden eyed girl
looked at Ginkoneko. "I know you're curious about what reality I live,
but don't try to find out, because my reality could make you cry endless
tears. Forget about me, don't come back to this place. I won't let you.
That monster will get you if you stay."

"Who is that monster?"

"I can't say his name, I won't say it. At least every time he comes here
to torment me, mama comes back and drives him away. He likes to play
with your subconsciousness, but you never notice, because he torments
me, the one that remembers him. He'll come back to your world someday,
and mama will come back too, that's when you'll remember me. It'll be
okay for you to remember. And you'll learn your real name, the one mama
and myself were always proud of.", she gave a sad smile. "I'll stay here
and wait for mama to come back, I'll help her fight that monster and
show her she's not alone. I'll make her proud, I'm strong like my mama."

"I still don't undestand.", Ginkoneko said.

"Don't worry, you'll understand......someday."

*END DREAM*

Ginkoneko woke up at the sound of a clock ringing.

"Uhhhhh, what a dream."

She stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom.



Ginkoneko flew to school with Trunks, Bra, and Goten, who came to get
her after breakfast. On the way there, they flew in a low speed so
Ginkoneko could tell them what happened the night before. She told them
about the street gang, how Silver Light saved her, she tried to describe
the feeling she felt around her, and she told them the dreams she had,
about the blue haired woman and the little girl, then she showed them
the name written on her necklace.

"And that's what happened. I have no idea of what it means.", Ginkoneko
said.

"This is weird, this is very weird.", said Bra.

"I agree with her.", Goten said.

"Koneko-chan, if your necklace has a name written on it, do you think my
medal has a name too?", Trunks asked.

"I don't know. Why?"

"Well, I still remember the drawing you made of that lady holding our
necklaces together."

"You know Trunks, now that you mentioned my drawings, Silver Light, the
woman I met, has a resemblance with the lady I always draw."

"You mean to tell us that Silver Light is the woman you've imagined
since childhood?", Bra said.

"I'm not sure."

"But you said they have a resemblance. What are the differences?", Goten
said.

"She's not wearing the same weird clothes and doesn't have that symbol
on her forehead. She looks human.", Ginkoneko said.

"What kind of 'human' kills four men effortlessly?"

"Are you saying that I'm not human, Goten? I killed two men like they
were rag dolls, and a shark like it was made out of paper."

"You're right, that's not human.", Bra said. "That's more like....."

"Saiyan.", Trunks said.

Ginkoneko chuckled. "What? Are you saying that I'm a long lost saiyan or
something?"

"You might be, you just need more training."

"Oh great, I'll turn Super Saiyan someday. I wonder how I'll look with
golden hair and aqua green eyes."

"Okay guys, enough about that.", Bra said. "What about this Silver Light
person?"

"She said that I've be surprised if I knew what other secrets our
universe has. When I looked at her eyes I heard a voice saying something
like: 'Earth was a beautiful place, now it's planet waiting to be put
out of its misery'."

"What does that mean? Earth has always been beautiful.", Goten said.

"Maybe it's saying that humans are destroying Earth, like with
contamination and all that.", Bra said. "But those problems can be
solved."

"Maybe Earth will be destroyed in the future."

"Again?", Trunks said. "Earth was already destroyed once by Majin Buu."

"What about that monster you talked about, the girl, and the other
woman?", Goten said.

"The little girl said she was me, but that I forgot about her, and that
forgeting her was the best thing I did.", Ginkoneko said.

"I think that's easier to understand", Bra said. "I think that little
girl is a hidden memory that wants to be forgoten because of something
bad."

"But what's so bad that she doesn't want me to see? Besides, she said
she was from another reality."

"You think she's from another dimension?"

"I don't know Trunks. She could be. She looked so sad, saying that
everyone was dead, including herself, and her mother was alive."

"That makes sense, Koneko.", Goten said. "You told us that your whole
family is dead and you mother was the only one left."

"Yes, but I am NOT dead. And it's not the whole family, mother still has
a brother left, he lives in Europe and has a family, he visits us on
holidays if he's not busy with his job as a soldier."

"Your uncle is a soldier in Europe?", Trunks said.

"Yes, he's the sargent of the military, but forget about that. I just
remembered something. When I went to the beach with Trunks, I heard
something that night and went to investigate. From the edge of the cliff
we were on, I saw a woman staring at the sky from the beach, she was
humming. I couldn't see who it was because she was far away, and she was
wearing a large cape, I could only see her bright hair."

"Maybe that was Silver Light.", joked Goten. "Since she's the most
suspicious character you've mentioned.", he chuckled.

"Wait, there's more. I didn't remember anything the next day, now it
came to me. Someone tried to kill me.", Ginkoneko stated.

"So that's why I found you unconscious. Who tried to kill you?", Trunks
said.

"I don't know, I just heard a voice laughing at me. It said that 'she'
brought me back, then a hurricane wind knocked me off the edge of the
cliff, and someone saved me. I don't know who it was. When I woke up I
was with Trunks."

"I don't know what to say about that.", Bra said. "Is there something
else you haven't mentioned?"

"Oh yes, the woman with the blue hair. I have no idea of who she is
either. I've never seen her before. She said the name on my necklace
would answer a question I would ask in the future."

Trunks then remembered he wanted to see if his necklace had a name too,
but decided to leave it when he heard a bell ringing.

"Hey, we reached the school. We better land and discuss this later.",
Bra said.

The four teenagers landed in front of the Orange Star High School.


During Math class, Ginkoneko was in deep thought. She thought about all
the weird things that have happened to her since she met Trunks and tied
the events together. How was she going to solve this mystery?

'Maybe if I wait for more weird things to happen, it'll give me more
clues. Yes, that's it.'

LUNCH TIME:

Ginkoneko, Trunks, Bra, and Goten ate lunch together, Ginkoneko and
Trunks sitting next to each other and Bra and Goten sitting across them.

"And that's what I'm going to do. I'll wait for another strange event.
That will give us more clues, then we can solve this problem.",
Ginkoneko said.

"That's a good idea Koneko.", said Goten.

"Most of the weird events have happened during a date between you and
Trunks, so you can go on another date and wait for something strange.",
Bra said.

"You're right.", Trunks said, he looked at Ginkoneko. "Where can we go
next?"

Ginkoneko was in deep thought.

"I heard the funfair is in the city this month!", said Goten. "You can
take her there."

"That's great, I love funfairs!", Ginkoneko said.

"Goten and I are going to a disco saturday night. You can take her to
the funfair, then we reunite there, at the disco.", Bra said.

"Yes, that's exactly what we'll do.", Trunks said, looking at Ginkoneko
and placing his arm around her shoulders. "I'll be at your house at 7:00
pm, okay?"

"Okay."

After discusing their plan, the four friends continued eating lunch.


That weekend, on Saturday night, Goten and Bra went to the discotheque
while Trunks and Ginkoneko went to the funfair.

The funfair was full of rides, music, lights, and people. Ginkoneko
smiled excited and clutched Trunks' arm happily.

"Trunks, this is first time I've come to a funfair in years! This is
going to be fun!", she exclaimed.

Trunks smiled back at her. "Where do you want to go first?"

"Let's go there!"

Ginkoneko pointed to a giant wheel there was a sign next to it and it
said: "Wheel O' Star". The wheel looked like a giant star. Ginkoneko
pulled Trunks to the ride, and got on board. As the wheel spun, they
ascended like an elevator, and they could see the whole place from
there."

"Wow, look Trunks! The view of the city is beautiful! So many lights,
like the stars in the sky!", Ginkoneko said.

"Hey, be careful Koneko, don't get to close to the edge. You could
fall.", Trunks said.

"Don't worry, I can fly if I fall."

Still worried about his girlfriend, Trunks pulled her away from the
corner of their seat, and closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her
and Ginkoneko kissed him on the cheek. He blushed and Ginkoneko
chuckled.

When the ride was over and they got off, Trunks chose the next ride, it
was a giant roller coaster called: "Explosion". Ginkoneko eyed the
roller coaster with awe.

"It must've taken them months to make this thing.", Ginkoneko said.

"I agree. Let's go!"

Ginkoneko and Trunks ran to the "Explosion", and after a few minutes
waiting in line, they went in.

The "Explosion" was the most spectacular ride of all. They rode a big
black wagon decorated with different explosion type designs. It went so
fast, they felt like they were going at many kilometers per hour, the
wind hitting their faces. They screamed and laughed hard, very excited,
having the time of their lives. The wagon entered a dark tunnel along
the railway. Inside they heard explosion sounds and saw ilusions of
fireworks of different colors. It was beautiful.

After about 15 minutes or so, Ginkoneko and Trunks came out of the
"Explosion" laughing like crazy and dizzy from the ride, the hugged each
other, panting.

"That...was some ride,......wasn't it?", Ginkoneko said. "I've never had
so much fun in......my whole life."

"Yeah,....great.", Trunks said.

"Trunks....look over there!"

Both of them spotted a "Tunnel of Love" right next to the "Explosion".
They walked to it after catching their breaths and saw different wagons
floating on a small artificial river. Ginkoneko chose the wagon they
would ride on; a moon with a star shaped wagon, which didn't surprised
Trunks.

The wagon floated inside the tunnel. There they saw the walls decorated
with different artificial flowers of different colors. Further inside
they saw many paintings of romantic scenes, while hearing a beautiful
melody that could be heard everywhere. Ginkoneko and Trunks hardly payed
attention to the paintings, the melody helped them relax as they thought
to themselves.

'A tunnel of love.', thought Ginkoneko. 'I never went into a ride like
this before, because I never had a boyfriend before. Sure, many guys
were after me, and they're still after me, but I never liked any of
them. With Trunks, things are different. I feel something for him, and
that feeling is growing. I want to kiss him! I just don't know if he'll
let me, he's shy sometimes, when it comes to women. And Bulma told me
how mischievious he was when he was little, he still has a big pride,
thought not as big as his father's.'

'Should I kiss her?', Trunks thought. 'I can't just kiss her without her
concern, she could get angry! Would she let me? I want to kiss her! I
feel something for her, and it's growing. I wonder where this feeling
will get me to.'

"Trunks?", Ginkoneko asked.

"Yeah?"

"Can I...um....."

"Uh...kiss me?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I wanted to ask you the same thing.", Trunks smiled, and Ginkoneko
blushed, returning the smile.

Trunks wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer until
their lips touched. Ginkoneko wrapped her arms around his neck and
kissed back, only deeper, and more passionately. When they stopped, they
looked at each other.

"Trunks, I think I'm falling for you very quickly."

"Yeah, I'm falling for you too."

Ginkoneko rested her head on Trunks' chest until the ride ended.


They stayed on the funfair a long time. When they came out, they sat on
the branch of a big tree, staring at the moon in the night sky.
Ginkoneko rested her head on Trunks' shoulder.

"You know Trunks, this kind of reminds me of one of my drawings.
Remember? The one with the woman and the man sitting on the tree
together."

"Yes, I remember.", Trunks said.

"I wish I knew who they are. And I wonder if I'll ever see Silver Light
again. She was so mysterious, but something inside me told me she was a
good person."

They stayed silent for a few minutes, just staring at the moon.
Ginkoneko looked at Trunks in a loving gaze.

"Trunks, I love you.", she said, afraid of his answer.

Trunks smiled and looked at her in the eyes. "I love you too. I've been
waiting a long time to tell you."

"How long has it been since we met?"

"About a month and two weeks.", Trunks replied.

"It hasn't been that long, but time sure flies. Hey, did you ever
checked if your medal had a name written on it?"

"No, I didn't. I forgot."

Trunks pulled his silver chained necklace from under his shirt and
turned the golden medal over. Indeed, there was something written on it.

"There's a name written on it."

"Really? What does it say?"

"It says......Tenchi."

Ginkoneko looked at the medal strangely. "Tenchi? Never heard it before.
I wonder what it means."

"Who knows? We better get going to the discotheque and tell Bra and
Goten that nothing weird happened."

"Wait, there's something I want to do first."

Ginkoneko pulled Trunks to her and kissed him deeply, which he gladly
returned.

After a few minutes of kissing, Ginkoneko and Trunks went to the disco
and found Bra and Goten dancing. The music there was loud enough to keep
the whole street awake. They told them about the name "Tenchi" on
Trunks' necklace, but that nothing happened. So they decided to join the
party.

"Come one Trunks, let's dance!", Ginkoneko said.

She pulled him to the dance floor and they danced. Most of the music
they heard was pop music and a few romantic songs. Again they were
having fun, looking at each other lovingly. In their eyes, as well as
Bra and Goten's eyes, they were perfect for each other. They were happy,
but how long would that happiness last?

To Be Continued..........



Translations: (for those who don't know)
' ' : Always used when someone is thinking
Well, I didn't really use japanese words here, but Ginkoneko is a name I
made up out of the words "gin : silver" + "koneko : kitten" = Ginkoneko:
Silver Kitten.



Saiyan Moon Goddess: "Woah, it's not easy work to write a long chapter with
mystery. I think I'm building up suspense here. Is Ginkoneko going to
live a normal life from now on? Is she really of the hook so easily? I
think...NOT!"

Lady Vegeta4eva: "You're right."




NEXT TIME : Ginkoneko's birthday is near, Trunks is going to ask her
the BIG question, when a tragedy rips things apart. And guess who comes
back for a visit!! This chapter is very exciting!!!
