My Sword and Your Katana

Chapter 9: Black

Author's Note:
So in this chapter, there will be a lot of random time skips. These are just things that I change in the plot of the actual anime. I'm just adding a little more on to support my own plot. It somewhat seems sloppy. But that basically describes my life! :P I'm sorry if you don't like it! But anyways, enjoy! c:

Tsubaki placed Bulma onto her bed and Trunks onto the couch. Then, she quickly flew out of the house to the tree from which she had been watching the two a few days ago (lol).

A couple of minutes later, Bulma and Trunks woke up.

'What was I doing?' Bulma thought while getting up from her bed. She walked out of her room and saw Trunks sleeping on the couch. She briskly shook him awake. "Trunks? Why are you sleeping on the couch? You have a bed, you know."

"Huh?" Trunks looked around to see that he was on the couch with a blanket and a pillow. "I have no idea. I don't even remember taking the spare blanket and pillow out."

"Well. Whatever. Are you hungry? I feel really full for some reason." Bulma touched her bloated stomach.

"Same... Did we have a feast yesterday night? I don't remember eating so much to be this full now."

"No... I remember just making some rice and meat yesterday.. Oh well! Can't worry about that now! Remember!? You are going back to the past to make sure everything went well with the androids! Let's get packing!"

"Okay Mother..." 'For some reason, I feel empty on the inside... What is this?' Trunks thought. He put his right hand over his heart. 'Is this... heartbreak'?

"Trunks? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Don't worry. I'm just thinking about what is happening with them."

"It's okay, Trunks. They'll be fine. Especially with you there!" Bulma gave her son an assuring smile. "Here! These should all the supplies," she said as she handed him some capsules.

"Thanks Mom!" Trunks yelled as he ran off to the time machine outside.

"Good luck Trunks!! You better come back to me! I love you!"

"I love you too!"

And then Bulma watched her son disappear. However, out of the corner of her eye, she could have sworn that she saw a black smudge for a millisecond.

'Damn it Bulma! I have to make sure that I don't pass out this time!' Tsubaki said as she followed the time machine to save Trunks from wormholes.

Trunks's P.O.V.

'This is hell. No. I would rather be in hell than here. I can't believe that I agreed to train with Father. He's just on his own anyway. He doesn't even need anyone to train with him. But I can't give up. I need to be able to protect the others. Please. Someone give me the strength to keep going on!'

I fell to the floor as I felt a burning sensation throughout my entire body. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" I screamed as pain rippled through my bones. I wanted to give up on everything. Before I could black out, I saw a white light. I ran to it, trying to grasp the object under it. Before I could reach it, I saw what it was. It was a girl with black eyes and long, black hair. I couldn't recognize her but she had a large and radiant smile on her face.

You are the reason that I smile.

I felt something easing the pain away as I approached the girl. Nostalgia hit me in the face as I almost was hit with memories of a forgotten past. My fingers were inches away from her hair before she simply disappeared before my eyes. I almost started sobbing as pain rushed into my body once again.

'Who was she? And why do I feel so empty on the inside again?'

------------------------Time Skip To After Trunks Gets Out of the Hyperbolic Chamber------------------------

"Trunks!!!" Bulma yelled as she ran to him. "Wow, look at your hair!" she said as she gently pulled a lock.

'Hehe. I never knew Trunks could pull off the long hair look!' Tsubaki commented to herself.

------------------------Time Skip To Trunks's Death------------------------
No one's P.O.V.

Vegeta charged at Cell and volleyed a number of ki blasts.

'I'm sorry Trunks. I couldn't save you from Cell this time, it was simply destiny. But at least you got to hear about the story of your father defending you in a fight...' Tsubaki sulked while watching Trunks lying on the ground in pain.

Trunks's P.O.V.

Before I felt my life ebb away, I had another vision. It was almost as if the pain in my chest had faded away.

It was the same girl. She had a red flower in her hair. A rose? No. A camellia flower.  She turned around to face me. Instead of her soft black eyes, I was greeted by sharp red eyes. Even with those eyes, she looked so gentle. She was holding a glowing katana. It seemed almost out of place. How could such an innocent girl be wielding such a dangerous katana? Before I could ask or say anything, she gave me another one of those smiles. It was the type of smile that could melt even the coldest hearts and fill the emptiest souls.

"Who are you?" I asked. She stopped smiling. I gulped nervously. She dropped her katana, piercing the ground by her feet.

Everything turned dark. I couldn't see anything.

I faintly heard something before I simply felt myself ebbing away once again:

"Black."
