Chapter 6

“Little boy, are you one hundred percent sure that was what she was handing off to the fake mini Scout?” Ko asked calmly as if what was being said didn’t matter to her.

Trunks glared at her. “I am not a little boy!”

Ko looked amused. “You are a child compared to me. You are your father’s child…and I am supposed to be the same age as him. In my Sailor form I am centuries older than you. Compared to me Trunks, you are a child and you always will be one.”

Trunks didn’t like where this was going. He didn’t like that she thought of him as a child. He knew he liked her, but it didn’t help that she saw and treated him like a child. It was just another barrier between them. It was just his luck, countless barriers between him and the one he wanted.

“I have ran for my life for years. I have fought countless battles. I have been in more than my share of life and death battles. I have died. I don’t think that makes me a child. Look at your name, it itself means child.” Trunks retorted.

Ko smirked, it almost made Trunks flinch. It looked just like his dad’s before he killed you.

“My full name is Konton; do you know what that means? Chaos. I was born from the most powerful Light and Dark Rulers in my Galaxy. I lived more than twenty years as a full blooded Saiyan in their prime. I was there when Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza. I watched it happened. I had Saiyans and others alike fearing my name. I destroyed entire planets with just my power alone. That is just my life in your Galaxy.”

Ko turned away from him and walked toward the lake. She always loved Water, but she had always loved the rain much more. The rain always washed away the blood that covered her body. She knelt down and took off her shoes. When they were off she started walking into the water. She closed her eyes, the Water felt so good, especially to the body that almost had an attack. It cooled her inflamed body down a few degrees.

“I was always hidden from my people. I never knew who I was until everyone and everything was destroyed. I was used from the moment I could walk, the moment I could use my powers. The humans had the gall to demand my use. They never knew who I was though. They just thought I was a Sailor Scout that shouldn’t exist. They never knew how right they were. They never knew my true birth, but neither did I.” she let out a bitter laugh.

“I live with the fact I could have saved so many people. I could have stopped the destruction of Planet Vegeta, but I just watched it. It was the same with the Silver Millennium. My mother didn’t want me to be tempted so she made up so ridiculous excuse to send me away. I watched everything I had ever known go up in smoke. It hurt that I actually helped my enemies destroy my home—if it could ever be called that.”

She turned around and faced Trunks. “But the past is the past, and one cannot live in it.” she rolled her eyes. “I could, but that is a different story. The past is over with, you can’t change it.”

Trunks gave her a bemused look. “Are we going to assume that we can’t go back in time?”

Ko would have thrown something at him if she had it…but she did have something. Ko got a mysterious evil grin on her face, which made Trunks back up in response.

She lowered herself into the Water, but she was in the shallow end, so she had to back up first. Once she was waist deep in the Water she raised her right hand and pointed toward Trunks. In the same instant her hand was raised Water shot out at him.

Trunks, who was not prepared for the sudden Water attack she sent at him, couldn’t dodge. So he got soaked.

“That wasn’t fair! No using your powers!” The purple haired Saiyan growled at her.

The blonde Saiyan grinned. “All natural baby.” She raised her arms and pointed to herself.

Ko turned around and walked deeper into the water. She totally missed the blush that was taking over his face.

When she stopped she was chest deep in Water. She then sighed contently. It had been so long since she had just relaxed. She just stood there, not moving for minutes.

After five minutes of staring at her, Trunks took of his orange boots. After getting fused with his younger and future self, he had opted for wearing his future clothes. He debated for a brief second whether to take his pants off or not, but decided in the end to leave them on. They were already wet.

The purple haired teen slowly walked into the Water after her.

The blonde teen felt the movement of Water. She knew he was coming in after her, but she realized she didn’t care. It made her wonder why.

She was tired of standing still anyway. So the blonde woman tilted the upper half of her body down, and the bottom half up. She was now floating on her back with her eyes still closed.

It didn’t take long for Trunks to come in after her. It didn’t take him long to reach her either. He just watched her float as if she was dead. Silence ensued between them for what seemed like forever, but was really only half an hour.

That was when Vegeta’s son couldn’t take the silence anymore.

“What are you thinking about?” he asked carefully.

“Nothing until you said something.” She chuckled. “What were you thinking about?”

Trunks hesitated for a moment, “You.”

Ko wasn’t surprised. “I did tell everyone to get to know who they were paired with, did I not?”

“You did.” Trunks replied. “So are we going to listen to you?”

Ko opened her left eye to look at him. “I don’t care. Do what you want.” After she spoke she closed her eye again.

Trunks didn’t know whether to be insulted or glad. He ended up shrugging it off.

“What’s your favorite color?” he asked.

The floating blonde woman thought for a second. “Do you want truth or lies?”

The purple haired teen gave her an odd look. “Truth of course.”

Ko had expected this. This boy was something. He was too innocent.

“Dark colors, for they describe me most. Dark pink, dark blue, dark purple, black…” she hesitated for a second, “Dark red, the color of blood.”

Trunks kind of expected that. Her life wasn’t all flowers and happiness after all. He liked the purple though.

“Yours, little one?” Ko asked as she let out a breath.

Trunks ignored her last two words. “Blue mostly I think, though I have to say I like purple.”

“You do not get tired of it?” she asked. “Your eyes and your hair are purple. You see it more than once every day. I get tired of gold and black.”

“In the future I never cared about favorite colors or anything like that. I never cared for anything accept staying alive and protecting my mother. With the androids running around destroying everyone’s lives, nothing else really matter. Would you worry about your clothes, what color your hair was like, when you were running for your life?” Trunks asked her.

She didn’t respond for a minute, what was she to say to his question? They both knew the answer. Instead, she asked her own. “Can you float?”

Trunks almost face faulted in the Water, but caught himself. Instead of answering he moved into the position to float just like her.

“What is your real hair color?”

Ko laughed. “It’s sad but I don’t have one, just like you don’t. When I am Sailor Nemesis and Princess Nemesis my hair is black and gold. When I am Princess Serenity it is silver. My human or Saiyan form is blonde; thought when I get mad it goes black.”

Trunks just chuckled. “We saw today, with the Scouts, they had different attacks then ours. Theirs were basically Elemental. What Element is yours?”

The blonde Saiyan thought about it. “I don’t really have one. The Inner Scouts have Elements. Mercury can control all phrases of Water, whether she wants Ice, bubbles, or just plain old Water. Venus uses a mixture of Love and Light. Sailor Moon can use Moonlight, Light and she is a great Healer. Sailor Mars can manipulate Fire, as well as being a psychic. Sailor Jupiter can use different aspects of Nature, but mostly Lightning and Wood.”

Ko stopped for a moment as she thought about her Scouts. “My Scouts are a little different though. Sailor Saturn is one of the most powerful of all the Scouts. Her powers lie in Silence and Destruction. She is the only Scout—besides me—who can wipe out entire Planets. Don’t worry; she will not unless she is forced too. She is a good healer though. Sailor Uranus is one of my Elemental Scouts; she can control Air and Wind. That is my favorite Element. Sailor Neptune can control the Ocean. Sailor Pluto doesn’t necessary, like a few others, have an Element. She can manipulate Time, and has little control over the Underworld.”

“Wow,” was all Trunks could say.

“I know, but Sailors Saturn, Venus, Pluto, Moon, and I do not have Elements. You know like: Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, the four Elements. We have something else. I don’t really have an Element either as a Scout, but I do control the Elements. They love me; they haven chosen me as their Guardian. I don’t know why, but I don’t care either. What’s done is done.”

Trunks turned his head to look at her. “You can control all of the Elements?”

Ko nodded. “No matter what form I am in either. When I was on Planet Vegeta very few had the gifts of the Elements. I think Vegeta had one, but I never found it out what it was. Everyone has a little Wind in them, but it isn’t enough. It only lets them fly.”

“Wow….okay onto the next question. Did you ever get to Super Saiyan?”

Ko blinked. “Super Saiyan, isn’t that a Legend?”

Trunks smirked. “It isn’t, every half blooded and full blooded Saiyan on Earth has gotten to at least Super Saiyan Two. Goku and my father have gotten past at least SS Four or Five I think. I have gotten to Three and stopped.”

“Sugoi,” Ko said. “How old are you?”

“Eighteen.” Trunks replied.

“So young,” she murmured. “How old are the rest of the Z Fighters?”

Trunks pretended he didn’t hear what she first said. “Goten is same age as me. Gohan is twenty one. Adrian and Adam are twenty three. Krillin, Yamucha and my dad are in their middle to late twenty’s, no one really knows though.”

Ko turned her head toward him. “What? Isn’t he supposed to be like forty or fifty?”

Trunks nodded. “But they had to make two other wishes when I got…fused. So Krillin, joking around, thought it would be funny if he and a few others became younger. The Dragon accepted that wish and only chose two others. My mom was so mad. She already didn’t like it that dad and Goku didn’t age because they were Saiyans, but they got younger?” he stopped when he realized he was talking about his mom.

She was dead.

They sat in silence for a while.

“What did you mean, you got fused? Are you not Trunks?”

Trunks chuckled. “You don’t know, do you? When the androids first came my future self appeared in a Time Machine my mother created and I was sent back to save Goku—who was going to die from some illness that didn’t have a cure yet. I thought if he was alive then we would win. But my coming back changed things. Cell came into play. After the big fight I got injured so badly I died. But when they brought back everyone that Cell and the androids killed, I was brought back too. But they waited till my infant self was twelve and fused us together. So I am now like two people, with two sets of memories.”

“But at least you’re the same person with basically the same powers. My two selves—the Scout and the Saiyan—are completely differently. One fights with fists and legs and the other uses her powers. We couldn’t be any more different.” Ko told him.

After that they just sat in silence for a while.

Princess, will you come back to us?

Ko, who was totally into the silence, and wasn’t thinking at all, had let her guard down. She wasn’t expecting one of her Scouts to contact her. So she jumped and stopped floating. She crashed into the Water and got Trunks and herself completely and fully wet.

Trunks stopped floating on his back as well. He stood back up and watched her almost panic.

Do I have a choice?

Her Scout sent her a laugh. No you do not. Come back or I will find you and kick your butt, and then drag you back.

Ko laughed out loud, confusing Trunks. Fine my Golden Sky, I will come back to you all.
