Chapter Six:
A Haunting Dream
Bra woke early in the morning in her bed as the clock flashed 2:30 am. Her head fell back against the pillow as she stared at the ceiling above.. Earlier that night briefly interred her mind as she finally told her parents everything, but most of all she remembered Juunana-gou face. She had never seen him look that way. She thought he was incapable of that kind of feeling. Although she thought it was ironic how she wanted him to be like that, yet something told her he would never be. Than when she got what she wanted she wasn't so sure if that's what she wanted.
"Great, I can't get to sleep and I only have three hours till I have to get up and go to school. Oh no, did Juu-kun go out last night after he walked out with my mom." Bra said to herself raising her head a little bit as she sat halfway up.
"No, he couldn't have. He can't possibly get into the main computer system and do what he has to do all at the same time. I wordier though what he told Kaasama, and Tousama. No wait a minute, Tousama was in here with me. I remember going to sleep in his arms." Bra said smiling to herself thinking of how gentle and sweet he was to her. It was the first time he has ever hugged her back and told her he was proud of her. Most of all she remembered when he told her he loved her.
"Well I guess I can go a head and get up, nobody should be up." Bra said getting out of her bed and walking down stairs.
"Why's the kitchen light on, it can't be a burglar. Or could it be?" Bra said to herself. She quietly tiptoed over to the kitchen and peeked her head into there. What she saw was something she didn't care to see. It was Trunks and Pan..on the couner..
"A..hum..." Bra said loudly clearing her throughout. Neither seemed to have heard her as they where caught up in what they where doing. "Excuse ME..." Bra said walking in there now tapping on her brothers back..
"Ahh..Bra what are you doing..Trying to give me a heart attack." Trunks growled at his sister. "No, but you did when I thought you where a burglar. Than when I came in here, I thought I was going to loss my stomach.."
"Sorry Bra.." Pan said peeping her head above Trunks shoulder. "You know you two should get a room..Pan, does Gohan know where you are.."
"Yes, he knows I am here. Your kaasama called Trunks place when me and him where over there getting...well anyway she called about Juunana-gou and told us to get over. So I called my Tousama and told him that I was staying over. So Trunks went a head and stayed too, I couldn't get to sleep and came in here. He was eating, so I thought I would join him." Pan said now finishing fumbling with her shirt to get in back on straight and un wrapping her legs from around Trunks waist. Trunks moved as she jumped of the counter now and stood in front of Bra.
"Although I could ask you the same question, why are you up so early." Pan asked cocking one of her eyes at Bra.
"Well I couldn't sleep, and besides it looks like he find him something to eat alright." Bra said propping her hands on her waist and while cocking both her eyes at Pan and Trunks who blushed with embarrassment.
"Well that's not the point, you have allot of explaining to do about you and Juunana-gou.." Pan said plopping back on the courner.
"What do you mean, Kaasama did tell you everything didn't she." Bra said. "Not about your love life with him, so spill it. And don't think you want pay for not telling me earlier when we train after school today." Pan said crossing her arms.
"Fine, I'll tell you. I didn't earlier because I thought you kill me or hate me. And our friendship means allot to me." Bra said pulling out a chair under the kitchen table.
"True I would be mad at you, but I would never hate you or stop being your friend over something like that." Pan said looking seriously at Bra as she jumped off the counter and sat at the table with Bra now.
"Well it all started the night he kissed me....Bra said and started to explain all what happened from that night until what was going on now. Trunks after the first sentence was bored but wouldn't leave no thanks to Pan. So he just sat there until he fell asleep on the table as the two girls gossiped over there love life. Some which made Trunks blush, but than sick to his stomach after what his sister said.
Soon it was six in the morning and Bra and Pan where now getting up and ready for school.
"Trunks get up, come on sleepy head.." Pan said sweetly at him as she hugged him from the back and kissed the side of his face.
"I don't wanna.."Trunks replied turning his face from Pan so he could sleep some more."Trunks get you sorry good for nothing butt up NOW.." Pan yelled at the last part. Trunks darted up at the sound of that. "What...what.." he said turning to only face Pan who smirked at him.
Bulma walked down stairs with Vegeta to only witness the whole thing. Bulma smiled at Pan as she walked in."Well I'm glad to see you two are now, or should I say Trunks." Pan could only smile at her, "Was he always this bad at getting up?" Pan asked.
"Well if I had to wake up to someone who looked like you, I would sleep in as late as I could" Vegeta said in smirking voice as he stooped in front of Pan. "Good morning to you to pin head." Pan said knowing the normal routine between her and Vegeta when they talked..
"Pan.." Trunks tried to intervene with them two, they could go at it for hours on end with smart remarks. He knew they didn't hate each other, but still he wasn't in the mood to hear it.
"Trunks, shut up..I can't believe you let him call me ungly.." Pan said now turning to Trunks.
Vegeta could only laugh at how much power she had over him, and how he would coward to her sometimes." Brat, why are you lessening to her. She's not more powerful than you, and I know I've train you better." Vegeta said still laughing out loud now.
"Vegeta, is that so..." Bulma said placing her hands on her hips. "Woman, what are you talking about." Vegeta snapped back. Bulma could only start yelling at him...the same things she always did, "My name is Bulma , not woman...and on and on they went...well she went.
By that time Trunks and Pan could only smirk at each other, thinking how much they just looked them. With that, they left the room and walked out into the living room."Well I'm going to go get dressed now for school real quick and maybe me and Bra will visit you at lunch if we can." Pan said now walking up stairs.
"I could help you get dress, you know." Trunks yelled with a grin forming on his face."Yeah, undressed and maybe dressed a couple of hours later.." Pan said shaking her head as she walked into Bra's room.
*****************************
Pan and Bra walked down the halls as some people where still talking about Bra and Juunana's kissing episode...Pan couldn't take it anymore."That's it, EVERYONE....lisson to me..." Pan yelled in the middle of the hallway. And as far as everyone was concerned, when Pan called for everyone's attention, you paid attention. Unless you want to end up in the hospital with the rest of her list as it grew through out the year.
"I'm tired of everyone talking about Bra and Juu-kun's kissing thing, it's over and that's that..I hear one more person talk about it or look at her like she just crooked or something, I'll be letting you meet my fist..YOU GOT THAT!" Pan yelled.Everyone heard her and the talking stopped and the people stop stairing.
"Thanks Pan, but you didn't have to..It really didn't bother me. I actually liked being known for something other than being the good girl like everyone thinks I am. " Bra said still walking with Pan.
"Well trust me, I know what your all about.." Pan said winking at her before walking off in to her classsroom.
Bra could only sigh, that was Pan for you..You either take for who she is, or you just stay out of her way. "Wordier though how she and niisan ever got together." Bra said smiling at the thought as she walked into her class room.
****************************
Later that day during lunch Pan called Trunks office at C.C. and asked if he was in but wasn't. "Hm, that's odd. I told him me and Bra would eat lunch with him." Pan said frowning as she hung the pay phone up.
Pan walked over to Bra who waited underneath a shady tree in the courtyard.
"Hey Bra, well Trunks not there so I guess it's just us two and table at the pizza place." Pan said now with her stomach growling. "Looks like you stomach seconds that.." Bra said smiling.
"So was he here today, Juu-kun?" Pan asked as they walked through the court yard. "Yeah, but he didn't even look at me once. So I didn't bother to even say something. I don't know, he's so unpredictable. Maybe that's why I like him, he's like a puzzle that I can't solve. Always one piece away from finishing it. I never did care for a regular boring guy, than I again look at what I grew up around. I like adventure, and he gives that to me.." Bra said smiling at herself just thinking about him.
"You really do care for him, don't you.." Pan asked as she stopped in the middle of the courtyard where benches where all placed out with people eating and tables as well."Yeah I do, but I don't why or even how much. I don't even know what I really feel for him, but I don't want to lose it, whatever it is." Bra said sighing as she looked down at the ground.
"Hey, look it's the chick who thinks she so tough and her lesbian lover.." a tall muscular black hair boy said as he stalked towards her..
"You know what, why don't you shove it Joe.." Pan snapped back. Joe was always want to get with her from the first day of school. Sure he was cute and popular, but rude and heartless. Always picked on other people and plus she had Trunks.
"Well, why don't you tell where and when" he said now facing Pan. "Your a sick perverted little boy Joe. Plus I already have a man" Pan said now getting really mad at him.
"Oh so your not a lesbian after all, well I guess that means you want mind if I do this."Joe said grabbing Pan and kissing her on her lips.
Just at that time Trunks walked into the courtyard to surprise Pan and Bra by bringing them lunch to them. He could only drop the pizza boxes and fly toward Joe and grab him the neck and through him across the field as he crashed into some tables.
Trunks looked back at Pan who was pist off to the max's, but he held her back in his arms. He knew she would get into major trouble of he let her go.Plus that boy should have got the picture he thought still holding Pan.
"Pan stop it, I'm not going to let you go..You've got to cam down..Ok?" Trunks said looking at her.
"Fine." Pan mumbled under her breath as Trunks let her go finally. One of Joe's friends came over there. "What do you think your doing man, that's Joe's' chick.." than boy said.
"Harry, go suck a fat one..She's not anybody's man's. She goes with my brother and if I where you I wouldn't pist him off." Bra said walking in front of him and slapping him across the face hard as she could. Harry's face turned sideways as the impact hit against his face."Why you little.." Harry said but found Trunks towering over him. "You where saying.." Trunks growled at him.
Everyone else around started to clap at the scene, everyone knew they deserved it. Plus it was about time someone did something.
"Wow Bra, your just turning into a bad girl worse and worse as the days go by.." Pan said smiling at her friend."Well I've learned from the best." she said."was that our lunch Trunks.."
"Oh man, I dropped when I came in here and saw Joe kissing Pan." Trunks said looking back at the smutched pizza boxes."oh well, so much for surprising you guys, guess we could still go out after all." Trunks said.
"Yeah that sound fine with me, plus I've finished my exams today and can leave if I want for the rest of the day. What about you Pan?" Bra asked.
"Yeah, sure whatever. Last one was right before lunch." she said looking down."Pan you ok?" Trunks asked lifting her head to his. "Yeah I'm fine.." she said still not looking him in the eyes. Trunks just shrugged his shoulders as he took her hand in his and walked off with Bra.
****************************
"Why you guys are home earlier today, why are you at school? And why aren't you at work?" Bulma asked eyeing her two children and one who was pretty much hers as well.
"Well me and Pan finished are exams today before lunch and could go home today earlier. They told us also Wed. is are last day which is tomorrow. And rehearsal is Friday morning for graduation that night." Bra said.
"Oh, ok sweetie well you and Pan are free to go, but you mister better have a good reason not to be at work, you are the vice president you know." Bulma said eyeing her son harshly.
"An let the boy have some fun, he's not in love with it like you are woman." Vegeta said coming in from working out.
"Vegeta, will you stay out of this and what do you know about running a buisness.And yes I enjoy my work but I'm not in love with it like you are with fighting." she snapped back pointing her fingure at him. Trunks took this time to sneak out side where he found Pan standing in the middle of the arena that his mom just built to train in.
"So you going to just stand there are work out?" Trunks joked at her, but Pan didn't say anything.
"Pan is there something wrong?" Trunks asked trowing his jacket off and shirt to only wear his under tank top and jeans. He never did like wearing dress pants and everything. "Hello, earth to Pan.." Trunks said tapping her shoulder from the back. She didn't say anything only stiffen up.
Trunks didn't like this and turned her around to face him, "Pan, what's the matter?" he said softly to hear as he stroked her face. "I let him kiss me. I could only frezz when he did. It felt so wrong inside, like I was being ripped up. I wanted to cry and when I went to strike him there you where." Pan said looking at him with a long face. "Why did it feel like that? Why do I feel like I did something wrong?" Pan asked Trunks. Trunks couldn't believe how much it really did bother her.
"Pan, you know I love you and don't hold it against it you. It even makes me feel better that you felt that way, it lets me know just how much are love has grown. Where bonded and nothing can change that." Trunks said taking her into his arms.
******************************
Bra watched from her window, she heard and saw everything. She envied Pan and Trunks relationship. It was something she now wanted for some reason.The adventure, romance, flaming passion, laughter, and happiness they had she wanted so much..Even the fights and play fights they got into on a regular bases.
Bra finally turned from her window so much was going through her mind right now, she was now out of school, in a mission, and involved with someone who she knew nothing about. She was in a way was getting everything she wanted, yet all at once. "So this is what it's like to be grown, well in my family for that matter." Bra said plopping on her bed. Her mind slowly wordier back to Juunana-gou and why he acted today like he did, yet why she even cared for him.With that Bra feel asleep making up for all the sleep she missed that night before.
Later that day around five Bra woke up to the sounds of walking into her room. "Who's there?" she called out but no one answered. "Please tell me who's there.." Bra said now pulling the covers up to her neck. Finally the figured showed it self, it was a little girl..She looked like Juu-kun with bright blue eyes like hers.
"Who are you little girl" Bra asked softly at her than she saw Juu-kun bandana
"So beautiful you are...just like papa said you where. You have to be strong, let your love for him guide you. You will be put through test that only your love for each other can get you though. Now take rest and train for the feature depends on you" she said fading into the background.
"NO, wait..please don't leave..tell me who you are and what this means." Bra said reaching out her arms to her but found nothing but darkness. "Are future depends on it..." the voice said fading into the background as Bra finally woke up with chills running down her face and chest.
"What was that, I have to see Juunana-gou now.." Bra said getting up and flying out her window.
"BRA.....WHERE ARE YOU GOING ?" Bulma yelled from the ground seeing her musume fly off as she dropped her gardening hose and stood there.
"SORRY KAASAMA, I'LL BE BACK LATER..." Bra yelled back now peaking up speed and flying off to Juu-kuns place as she searched for his ki..
Finaly Bra reached his place after and hour of flying and landed softly at his apartment window. She walked between the curtains that blow beside her from the wind. There he was, staring at her. Leaning up against the wall, arms crossed, eyes slanted down with his hair hanging for forwarded freely..
"I've been waiting for you.." was all he said as Bra walk in and looked around. He's bedroom was hung and open. With a bed in the middle covered with silk sheets the laid sloppily all around it with pillowed tossed here and there at the head of the bed. It could easily feet at lest five people. There was one dresser across the room that more than likely had his close in. One drawer was cracked open with a shirt hanging halfway out. The curtains brushed the bottom of her legs as they wind blew. They where silk and felt good against the back of her calves. They draped the floor as the large open window staid open. The room was somewhat dark as the only light coming in was from out side. And it was about six, so the sun was starting to set.
"Than I take it you had the same dream." Bra asked softly as she looked to the ground. She could hear his foot steppes coming closer to her as she stood still. Finally she saw his boots.
"The little girl, that is the one I had. She said someone was coming back from the future to are time and try to keep up apart so we want stop the Red Flag Organization. And you, was yours different." he asked.
Bra finally looked up, "Yes it was, she said that I needed to trust in your love for me and that we would be put throughout test that will test our love for each other. Though, I don't see how that can be true when you don't even care for me, do you?" Bra asked.
"I never said I didn't care for you, all I know is that I can't make you as a happy as you deserve to be." Juunana-gou said.
Bra's eyes watered with tears, she couldn't believe what he just said. The only thing she cared for was the fact that he said he cared for her. She didn't care about the rest long as she could be his..
Juunana-gou didn't quite know why she was crying, all these human emotions where to much for him to understand. So he untied his bandanna and wiped her tears away softly as he moved to piece of cloth across her check and over her nose and onto her other check.
With that he slowly moved it down onto her neck and along her color bone. "Silly human emotions.." he said tenderly as he could to her. Bra just fell against him and hugged him. His arms finally wrapped around her waist as he held her tight.
"Juunana-gou, I need you...please don't leave me.." Bra said pulling away but still being held in his arms.
"My little saiya-jin princess..." was all he said as he kissed her tenderly and than more passionately. His kiss deepen on her as she let him carry her to the bed.
Bra finally let herself go as Juunana-gou ravished her body with tender kisses and nips here and there. Juunana-gou made love to her in the sweetest way a man could ever, with tender roughness.
Finally Juunana-gou woke still holding Bra in his arms.."How sweet you are my little saiya-jin princess, how sweet you are." he said kissing her for head. "now I must go, but don't worry I'll come back for you when I finish my mission." he said softly getting out the king side bed. He quietly laid the covers all around her body as she rolled over and grabbed a large pillow thinking it was him as she wrapped herself around it.
"How cute.." Juunana-gou said finding himself jealous of the pillow wishing it was him, but he had to do this. The dream, it had to be done. He didn't tell Bra everything, but thought it was best that way.
As her stood and dressed he reached for his bandanna on the floor and went to tie around his neck but found it of no use. "I will no longer need this to wipe the tears of hers away, for I can no longer have her." he said holding the bandanna up to his small nose. He smelt the fabric as it smelled of her sent all over. His eyes twitched and closed suddenly, he didn't know what his body was doing., but he couldn't stop it. Suddenly as his eyes stinged it was relieved by something most. His eyes opened and felt it run down his check and fall next his mouth. His tongue licked it as he tasted the salt mixed with water.
He turned and looked into his mirror above his dress to see what it was. He slowly touched it as it fell on his figure. "So this is a tear, how beautiful. Like a crystal ball from the ocean floor. What a usually feeling to feel for the first time and last time." he said looking at it and than licking it away to suaver the taste one more time. He looked into the mirror and saw Bra again sleeping like the goddess she was. He smiled and dropped the bandanna on the floor again. He took the disk that Bra got him and left a quick note on for her to read. He took off with great speed and angelically as the wind picked up behind him. Slowly the note fell from his dresser and onto his floor next to the bandanna .And with that he was gone off into the cool midnight air.
Juunana-gou flew swiftly through the air. It would at lest take him an hour to get here. He held the disk Bra got him as the flight would give him time to think how he would time everything sense he was going back to doing it himself.
Chest heaving up and down, breath quickening with every step a foot would take. Her hear t beating against her chest as her legs soured from running endlessly.."Juu-kun...Juu-kun..." echoed through the blackness as the small figure keep going. Finally she came to a stop, there he was. On the edge of a cliff just standing there."Juu-kun, please come back to me...I need you..." was all that was said as she came closer. She reached her hand out and before her eyes he turned into nothing, just a pile of dust that blew away into the wind as it swarmed around her. "Juunana-gou.....NO!!!!!! NO, JUUNANA-GOU..!!!!....." the girl said falling to her knees as she crumbled onto the cliff. Her heart took it's last beat as the cliff gave way and she said nothing as her body fell between the tore rocks of the cliff.
Bra suddenly sprung up out of bed her head and chest covered in sweat..."Don't let this happen....go to him..." a soft voice of a child whispered into the background slowly fading away with every word.
"No, wait please come back..." Bra begged.Than it hit her, she looked to her side to see that what she laying next to was a body pillow and not Juu-kun.."Juunana-gou, please don't die on me..." Bra said with a tear falling down her check as she knew he went off to fight..
She got out of bed and stumbled on the floor finding her pants and sliding them on. Than she saw her bra and fumbled with it while looking around to if she saw her shirt but she didn't. With that, she didn't care anymore she ran over to his dresser . She yanked the shirt that still hanged out halfway from the cracked drawer. She pulled in on as it fitted her loosely and bunched just right above her butt in the back. She looked for her shoes but didn't find them, so with that she walked up to the window to fly but felt something soft under her foot. She bent down to see it was his bandanna and note..She felt something wet on it and held it up to her nose.
"Smell like water and salt mixed in with my sent, but there's no water in here. Yet it has a salty smell to it." Bra said pressing it up to face one more time."A tear,...he actually..." Bra said not be able to find the words instead she could only hold in close to her heart.
"I have to be strong, and quick so please help me Juunana-gou...Believe in me, like you always have.." Bra said silently to herself while closing her eyes. With that she took off into the night. She needed to get her kaasama and tousama to help her first is she was going to save Juunana-gou.
**************************
Juunana-gou still flew through the night letting the cool wind over take him with ever breath he breathed. It felt so cold, yet satisfying. Although something yearned for a warmth to over take the feeling. He closed his and let the dream reply in his mind, the words he didn't tell Bra for who couldn't."Stay away from her, or she will perish into nothing. A power so great will kill to where not even the power of the dragon balls can bring her back. You must stay away from her." the voice said still ringing in his head.
Bra finaly made it to her house running to see her parent in the kitchen calling up people to ask where she was.."Bra, where have you been.." Bulma spatted. "Kaasama, I don't have time for this. Do you still have information that Juunana-gou gave you?" Bra demaned.
"Yes, but where have you been?" "Kaasama, shut up!!!...I don't have time for this, I need the coordinations of the base have to get there before Juunana-gou dies.." Bra said ranging at her mother. Bulma could only stand there in shock, she had never heard Bra take that tone or yell at her like that."Kaasama, I'm sorry..I didn't mean to yell at you, but right now is not the time for your questions." Bra said now looking back at her tousama.
"When the hell did he go?" Vegeta asked knowing this was serious. "He was gone when I woke up, but it couldn't have been that long. His sent was still fresh within the bedroom." Bra said not caring right if her parents just figured out she sleep with him. "Why where you over there?" Bulma yelled back at her musume. "A dream, and his dream..I can't explain everything right now." Bra said feeling her tears wanting to give in."All I know, is something bad is going to happen to him if I don't get to him." she said taking her stand.
"Hold still brat.."Vegeta said pushing two figures at her forehead and reading her thoughts."So, it true...well get suited and go wake up your brother and Gohan's brat up stairs and tell them to get ready.."
Bra ran up stairs with out another word to say. Vegeta turned to look back at his mate. "Bulma, something from the future is coming back to stop Bra and Juunana-gou to get together. Something about them will depend on the earth living or not. It has to be the only reason why he or she is so desperate to come back." Vegeta said taking a serious tone and look at her as he reached out to grab her hand and held them tightly. Bulma knew it was serious, he never used her name unless something like this was about to happen. It that scared her more than anything.
"Well I'm going with you, and I don't want to hear about it. I've been around plenty of battles to know what to do. Plus someone might need medical attention and I'm not going to stand here and do nothing." Bulma said straitening her back
"I knew I didn't take a weak mate, but you will stay in a craft, I don't want you out there and getting yourself killed." Vegeta said with a smirking face now as he smiled at his mate.
"Good, now go get ready and I'll get dressed and set up the hover craft and give y'all the coordinations of where the base is."
Bulma went up stairs to get her lab top and bring out everything Juunana-gou told her.Within a couple of minutes she figured out where it was, "Bulma, you are a genius.." she told her self proudly..
Vegeta now waited down stairs as Bra, Trunks, and Pan came down ready for battle."Here are the coordination, I'll be there in a couple of minutes behind you all." Bulma said running down the stairs. As she told them, Vegeta telaported them all there with only a matter of minutes.
"Well here we go again, and to think everything was getting back to normal." She shrugged her shoulders. "Well better get ready .." she said throwing her capsules out and was dressed in a matter of minutes.
