The Only Exception - Goku Black X Reader X Zamasu

Chapter Eleven - So What Now?

Back in the present timeline, Bulma was currently working on the time machine with the help of the Pilaf gang. "So when do you think older me and the others can rescue (Y/n)" younger Trunks asked his mother.

"I don't know sweetie. I'm still trying to dissect the notes future me left behind" Bulma replied.

"Okay." Younger Trunks got ready to leave. "I hope she's doing okay over there."

"If what Trunks told us is true, (Y/n) will be okay" Bulma flipped another page in the thick blue notebook. "But I'm still worried about her."

Younger Trunks looked at his mom one more time and left the room. He didn't know what he wanted to do and ended up just roaming around capsule corp. "I wonder what older me is up to?" Trunks thought as he turned a corner. He stopped when he saw his older self heading towards the direction of the room that their mom was working on the time machine in. Thinking about if he wanted to talk to his older self, he missed his opportunity as his older self was already gone from his sight. "I guess I'll go play with Goten then."

"Mother." Older Trunks walked into the room and younger Mai dropped the object she was carrying on the ground.

"Come on Mai, Bulma needs that" Shu said as he picked up the object and took it over to Bulma.

"I'm sorry" Mai apologized. She was too focused on staring at future Trunks.

"Do you need something Trunks?" Bulma asked as she put the notebook down.

"Not really. I just wanted to know how's the time machine coming along?"

"Well at this rate, it might take me a month to fully crack these notes in order to get this time machine up and running" she started. "I also need to find material in order to repair and make fuel."

"A month?"

"I'm afraid so." Bulma let out a sigh. "That's the only quickest way for me to fix it since originally it was going to take longer."

Trunks was hoping for his mother to say it would take a week or so but he could understand why it's going to take a long time. "Black needs to be stopped but I'm worried about this timeline's (Y/n) being over there."

"You're not the only one" Bulma said.

"Didn't you say she would be somewhat okay because of the relationship her future self and this Black had?" Pilaf asked as he overheard the whole conversation.

"I did, but that's not guaranteed" Trunks replied.

"Well I still think that it was love that Black felt for future (Y/n) so I don't think he would harm our (Y/n)." Mai had now joined the conversation as well.

"Black is a heartless monster!" Trunks's outburst startled everyone in the room. He calmed down and apologized. "I'm sorry but I seriously doubt Black loved the (Y/n) of my time."

"You may think that son but didn't he stop the killings once (Y/n) came into contact with him?" Bulma asked.

"He did."

"Well wouldn't you think that someone would stop doing what they were doing because of the person they hold dear told them to stop?"

"Not everything is love and fairy-tales women" a voice said. Everyone turned to see Vegeta standing in the doorway. It seemed he was standing there for awhile now. "From what I saw and what Trunks told us, Black was probably toying with the (Y/n) in Trunks's time."

"But Vegeta" Bulma started but Vegeta shut her down.

"Shouldn't you be working on that stupid time machine?" Vegeta reminded Bulma as he left the room.

"I still think he loved her" Mai said underneath her breath as she went back to helping Bulma.

"Ah, I see you have return to where you belong (Y/n)" Zamasu said with his arms opened. I walked past him and straight into the only bedroom with a lock. I closed the door behind me, locked it, and sat on the bed. I then reached over and grabbed a pillow, screaming into it. Zamasu slightly tilted his head as he heard the muffled scream. "I would only assume you have done something to her in order for her to react like that?" Zamasu watched his counterpart sit on the couch that was in the living room. He saw that he had a small hit/scratch mark on his left cheek. "It also seems that she manage to hit you."

"It wasn't just a hit. There were a couple of kicks and punches here and there" Black smirked.

"Do I want to know what you did to her?"

"I just simply gave her a kiss."

"You kissed her?"

"Yes. And for a moment I felt something like I did when we used to kiss our (Y/n)."

"Hmm." Zamasu put his thumb and index finger on his chin, thinking to himself. Perhaps he should kiss me as well to see what Black was talking about. "I might have to try for myself later."

"If you do, catch her off guard" Black told him. "She has the most interesting expression." Black laughed to himself as he remembered the face I gave him after he kissed me. "She even told me that she hated me." Zamasu considered Black's advice and proceeded to go ahead and kiss me. He could just walk into the bedroom and kiss me right now but he wanted to wait. He wanted it to be when I would least expect it.

"Maybe with this (Y/n), we might be able to understand what makes her different from other mortals" Zamasu thought as he got ready to prepare some tea for himself and Black.

Inside the room, I had somewhat calm down. I was still heated from that kiss Black gave me and it made me want to hit him even more. "Who does he think he is kissing me like that?" I asked myself. "I may be (Y/n), but I'm not this timeline's (Y/n). And I definitely don't want to play nice with those two." I got up and paced around the room. "But at this point, I might have to."

A day or two has passed since I was brought here. I still had high hopes of Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks showing up but realize that it might take sometime. The time machine Trunks brought with him was destroyed by Black so who knows how long it will take Bulma to build another one. It might take a few months, hell it might even take a year!

"I need to be prepared for the worst case of not leaving this place anytime soon." I stopped pacing and sat back on the bed. "If that's the case, I need to stay on my guard and assert my dominance over those two!" I lowered my voice. "Well it's two against one and they're stronger than me, so I don't see myself asserting dominance" I sighed. I laid back onto the bed. "I can still be on my guard though." I closed my eyes. "I have to or Black might try to kiss me again. Hell, Zamasu might try to do the same thing."
