Warnings and Disclaimers: I told you there would be a test in this chapter! Don't look at me as if you didn't know! Put your books away. Okay first question *looks down at paper*: Who owns DBZ?

*Crickets*

Good job! Next question: What warnings are there?

*Drip, drip, drip*

Good job. *Looks at paper* well, looks like there was only two questions. Everyone gets an A!

The lack of betaing can be noticed BIG TIME in this one!

I have this color thing going on. Anyone catch it? Goten notices them and they all represent something that's not normally represented with them (with most of them anyways.)

BLUE and all other forms of it is obviously associated with love. His "love" for Trunks and his love for "Home" even Acedona has blue skin. He is always saying he loves Trunks' eyes.

PURPLE/LAVENDER/VIOLET ETC. goes with friendship. Acedona has purple hair and Goten says he loves Trunks' hair. Later on he says he can't see Trunks' hair for the darkness (Black).

BLACK is for covering, hiding and lies. Remember, their comforter is black, as is most everything else in his room. In the beginning Goten wears black, he is covering how he feels about Yuuchik. It even "covers" the fact that Trunks was planning to run off with Goten in the first chapter (The "Distance and vastness of space.") It also works with pain like when Acedona confuses Black and Blue. I also put it about the Mariana Trench (Water blue and It's the darkest/deepest place on earth.) Acedona's Black eyes go with something you'll have to guess on your own.

RED/PINK goes with sex/lust. Remember red sheets and red Strawberries, Trunks' kissable pink lips? It can also work with blood but blood is kind of lusty in my universe. The lust for sex, the lust to kill or hurt.

YELLOW/GOLD is for change. The Stars that were shining through the vastness of space in the prelude were yellow.

ORANGE is for wishfulness. The Dragonballs are orange. The people on Yuuchik are as well (Goten's wish to go home) and even that conversation about Trunks hating Orange (He hates that Goten wish to go home) and wanting him to wear blue (to stop wishing to go home and just "love" him and what he's given him)

SILVER/GRAY is new. Goten and Trunks' "Wedding" bands that were made after they first ran off go with their New Relationship.

WHITE is for hope. There really isn't to much white yet. Goten just doesn't have any hope.

GREEN is childishness but I haven't emphasized this yet.

CLEAR is obviousness and shows that nothing is being hiden or put back.

Some colors I say just don't really go with this. Some colors I have there just because it fits.

There was a bunch of other stuff, but I don't feel like naming it all off.

Because I Said Yes

Chapter 6: What I Want

By Slytherinette

I may have said this before but I really hate waking up but this time I feel 10xs more groggier than ever! My forehead feels tight and my body feels overly relaxed. I feel Trunks' familiar lips press against my neck as he mumbles something but I'm still not coherent enough to understand him.

I moan slightly and burry my face into his arm, his hard muscle and soft skin muffling the sound.

"I'm so sorry, tenchi," I hear him whisper as he places a ghost of a kiss on my ear.

I frown and wrinkle my brow. "For what," I manage to ask, slipping my eyes open just a crack.

He looks at me, shock evident on his face. "You don't remember?"

I shake my head and move to sit up but quickly regret it as the room starts to spin. I close my eyes half hoping to fall back asleep. "What happened," I ask sleepily.

I hear him sigh deeply, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I was so caught up in.... I just forgot and let some of my power slip. Oh, Goten, I'm so sorry."

I open my eyes again just as he kisses my forehead. I rack my brain, trying to come up with something or whatever had happened but all I could remember was kissing Trunks.

I look into Trunks' eyes, concern and relief painted in the turquoise. I smile slightly. I really love his eyes.

"Oh, well," I say, trying to sit up again, ignoring the spinning this time.

He blinks at me. He thinks I should ask him exactly what happened to make him slip but some how I don't think he wants me to.

"I'm fine so it doesn't matter." I lean over and kiss him gently on the cheek then let my lips drift over to his. "You wouldn't ever hurt me on purpose," and he wouldn't. Every time he slips up and lets a "little" to much of his power show and every bruise I get is just an accident. He really doesn't mean to hurt me, it's just that he has so much power it gets hard to control. Especially when I do something that makes him mad. That just makes it even harder for him.

He looks at me, an emotion I can't recognize in his eyes, as he strokes my cheek.

"Chibi, I...."

I smile at him and cut off his words with a kiss. "Don't worry about it, I'm fine now." I'm not sure how I know but I just know that this is something he needs me to do. I don't particularly like the sad look that's in his eyes and I want to do what ever I need to make it go away.

"The food came while you were asleep. It's probably still hot."

I know it's childish but my eyes light up like a Christmas tree. "That sounds great! Food." My smile grows twice it's size when I glance over to table. I grab his hand and try to pull him with me as I stand up. He scoots over the edge of the bed but doesn't go any further.

"Come on, lets eat," I say, stretching like a cat.

He shakes his head. "I'm not really hungry."

I frown pull his hand again. "So what. Your eating. I hate eating by myself."

He looks at me sternly but I know he is going to give in.

I smile brightly when he stands up.

"What would I do with out you, Chibi."

I shrug nonchalantly as I turn to pull him to the table. "Oh, I don't know. Starve to death, wander around aimlessly, lost and confused, and heaven knows there'd go the universe." I didn't mean to say the last part of that but I don't really feel like reacting.

Trunks' chuckles, a strange deep sound that causes a shiver to go up and down my spine as his lips find their way to the back of my neck.

#You have no idea, Chibi.#

I freeze and look at him, confusion plain on my face. "What?"

Trunks rolls his eyes, smiling, as he leans over and captures my ear with his teeth.

"I said that you have no idea, Chibi."

I smile slightly, not really sure what he's talking about. "Oh," I say in a sigh as his tongue connects with the skin just below my ear. I groan slightly and expose more of my neck to his ministrations. I could so easily forget about the table full of food for me to eat in favor of Trunks eating me but..

"I"m REALLY hungry."

He pauses but only for a moment before continues a path to my jaw.

I take a step back but hit a wall. "Please, stop." I ask, or rather beg, but I don't sound too convinced that I want him to stop. Actually I don't.

"Make me," he says playfully before his lips reach mine.

Oh, blast him to hell. He knows I can't say no to him when he kisses me.

Nope, and never could but lets not go there.

---

I sigh, a smile playing on my lips, as I lick ketchup off my fingers. Suggestively, of course, because Trunks has one eye open watching me intently.

After our little romp against the wall, and on the floor, we decided to move it to the bed - we brought the food with us.

Trunks let his eye slide closed.

"Now, I KNOW I didn't wear you out!" I point a piece of shrimp (and I think I already told you so you already know that the word "shrimp" is used loosely) at him. "Just wait till I'm done eating."

Trunks chuckles and opens his eyes right before he grabs my wrist. "Oh, really," he pulls my hand to his lips to claim the shrimp as his, "and why should I wait?" He licks the inside of my palm. "And how in the hell can you eat shrimp with ketchup?" He makes a strange face and lets go of my hand.

I narrow my eyes defensively. No one, not even Trunks, insults my ketchup. "Well, it's better than that nasty horse crap you eat."

"It's horseradish and I happen to like it."

I scrunch up my face. "It's nasty." I pop a piece of shrimp, lathered in ketchup, in my mouth.

An amused laugh escapes him and I look over just in time to see him reach over and kiss my exposed shoulder. "Whatever you say."

I smile at him. "Exactly. I always have had better taste than you. After all, I wasn't the one who ate the worm."

The smile drops from his face and I flinch. Bad, Goten. That was a very D.E. (During Earth) memory and you KNOW he hates thinking about anything like that. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!! I refrain from beating my head with the plate so I lean over and place it on the bedside table using the distraction to think of something, anything, to say to change the subject.

Damn it, I just get so comfortable with him sometimes I forget.

"So, anyways," I say, not originally having anything to finish the sentence off with so I just say the first thing that come to my mind.

Which is probably not the best of subjects to pick.

"What do we need that stuff we get from the Majistea-jin for anyways?"

"Zainafad?"

I nod.

He looks at me curiously. "We use it to power the ship. It's sort of like gas, except a lot more concentrated and heavier. A drop of it could power a car for a year. It takes about that much to power this thing for 5 minuets."

"Oh." I think about that for a minuet before something strikes me. "So, if we pick a planet we won't need the ship, right?"

"Not as much, no."

I bite my lip, "So we won't need as much Zenefad, right?"

"Zainafad," he corrects me, "and yes." He continues to watch me, like he's trying to figure something out. "Why do you want to know."

Well, I hadn't really thought it all the way through but...

"If we don't use as much Zae..." I pause, knowing It won't come out right if I say it, "of that stuff, than we won't need to rely on Majistea as much." I sit up my mind working faster than I could keep up. I guess fish really is a brain food. "So, when we pick a planet then we could lay the heat off them and they could get their economy fixed." I looked at him, wide eyed at my own ingenious streak.

He sighs heavily and rolls his eyes. "Why are you so insistent on saving that pathetic race? The universe would be much better off without them. Quieter and... just not as loud."

I blink. "Loud?"

"Yes, loud. Their energy can only be described as loud and there's millions of them! Not to mention that a race ran totally by females is doomed anyways."

I frown at him. They are thousands of light years away and he finds their energy annoying? I can't even feel them without serious concentration. And he thinks they are doomed because they have a queen?

"That's not fair to say. There have been millions of races ruled by women that worked better than a lot of the ones ran by men."

"And vice versa," Trunks added giving me a dark look.

"It all depends on the ruler."

Trunks sat up suddenly, "Exactly. And I hate that bitch. What kind of ruler would put their own race in danger by pissing off the most powerful being in the universe, huh?"

I look down at my hands, "Just because you hate her doesn't give you a reason to kill off her whole people."

"Representation, Goten. She represents that whole planet, I hate her, I hate her people. It's not too difficult."

I sigh sadly but don't answer. I lay down and cover myself up with the blanket, curling up into a ball.

I just don't want anyone to get killed.

He lays back down, rolling over on his side to face me. His hand reaches out to stroke my cheek. "Your so soft, Chibi. You never want anyone to get hurt." He kisses my forehead and urges me to uncurl so he can wrap me around him. "So naive, but that's one of the million reasons I adore you so much."

I smile a small smile at him before I kiss his lips. The master of changing the mood, isn't he?

I snuggle my nose in his neck, one of his hands stroking my back precariously close to my tail spot.

Even after everything that's happened I still think this feels nice. He's so comforting and warm. It's strange having the most powerful being in the universe touch you and kiss you like you're a God.

"Oh, my sweet Goten." He kisses my ear softly. "You are a God. You're my God."

Huh? How did he...

"Tell me, Goten. Tell me what you want. Say it and it's yours." he pulls back and looks at me seriously, "Anything you want."

Anything? Some how I doubt if I said most of the things that I wanted he would agree to give it to me.

"I want a lot."

He tilts his face and leans in. At first I think he's going to kiss me but he pauses with our lips less than an inch from each other. "What do you want the most? Say it and it's yours."

Why do I get the feeling this is a trick question. It's instinct that my mind tightens like it use to when I was confronted by an enemy.

He narrows his eyes at me and I want to pull back at the scrutiny in his hard blue eyes but his arms are locked firmly around me. I can't help it when my muscles tense up and

What do I want?

"I want you to be happy," I say truthfully. I do want him to be happy cause an upset Trunks is never a good thing.

A small threatens his face. "Well, looks like we have a conflict of interest. I want to give you what ever you want and you tell me you want me to be happy. Now how are we supposed to settle this?"

"I can think of a few ways," I say in a purr as I pull myself closer to him.

Much to my surprise he frowns and pulls back slightly. I blink at him, shock well set in place.

Did he just reject me?

He chuckles and places a finger on my lips. "I promise, we'll get there, just tell me what you want."

I pout. "I just told you. I want you to be happy."

He raises an eyebrow at me clearly indicating he wants me to elaborate. I shift but only slightly. His hold on me is to tight.

I sigh. How am I supposed to answer that. I will never say I want to go home and he knows it. What does he want from me?

"I want you to be happy and when you are happy so am I."

Trunks leans forward just a little so when he speaks his lips brush mine.

"You have all the power in the universe at your beck and call and you just want to make me happy," he snorts a soft laugh, "Goten, koi," his thumb traces my lips lovingly, "that power is all yours. I can't help you with that."

I frown and resist turning away from his clear blue eyes. "But I don't know how to sometimes." My mind tightens a little more and my eyes start to burn.

"I'm not picky when it comes to you. All I want is you and for you to be happy."

For me to be happy? He means he wants me to be happy with everything that he's given to me..

...and taken away.

"Sometimes you get so upset that you close off your mind and I can't figure out what's wrong," he continues, "like now."

Close off my mind? "I don't under.."

He silences me with a kiss, "Tell me what I can do for you to make you happy."

I honestly don't know how to answer him. Tell him I want to go home? Yeah, so he can destroy it then I won't have a home to go to. Tell him I want him to never hurt another being again?

Tell him that sometimes I just want to fade away?

"Tell me, Goten."

I shake my head then lean in to kiss him hard.

/...you don't want me."/

I do, I do so very much.

/Try and want me as much as I want you. I love you, Daddy, please/

I pull back suddenly, my mind made up.

"I want... I want a baby."
