Here it is! What can I say, I had a spark of inspiration! The beginning of the Because I Said Yes *REWRITTEN/RENAMED.*

Trunks has become an manipulative over-powerful tyrant that makes Freeza look like a girl scout and Goten blames himself. Can Goten find a way to fix what has already been done or will his love for Trunks allow him to live with it just to have Trunks at his side? Yaoi, Goten’s POV, a lot of sexual situations.

The Prologue: One mistake after another

By Slytherinette Gotenegie@yahoo.com

Disclaimer: Nope, not mine but if Dragonballs were real, they would be!

Warnings: Very NC-17 Yaoi, OOC Goten, Goten abuse, Angst galore, Kami’s name in vain, and to top it off NONE OF IT’S REAL!!! Oh, yea, And a REALLY psycho/evil/tyrant Trunks (but then again, he got that from his Dad! Just Kidding!)

Trunks was missing.

It wasn’t anything new, he had a tendency to run off when something was going on that he didn’t know how to deal with, and this was no different than any other time. He had a lot of pressure on him and it was his way of getting it off momentarily. It was only a temporary fix to a permanent problem but at the time it seemed better then alternative of saying something smart then getting his ass kicked by his dad.

As usual, I got the news from Bulma when she called my house asking if I knew where he was. Of course I knew, he was the same place he always went, and it only took a quick scan of his ki to show anyone that he wanted to remain unfound.

Of course I wasn’t stupid enough to tell her that.

"I'm sorry, Bulma," I lied, "I don't know, but don't worry, when he wants to be found he'll go home," or come here, I mentally added, cause he always did. I know, or at least I thought I knew Trunks like the back of my hand, and it was always the same thing every time.

"Yeah, I know but I'm still worried. He left right after he spared with Vegeta this morning and hasn't come home since. He missed lunch and dinner! Oh well," She sighed, "Trunks is like his father, if he doesn't want to be found, he won't be."

After we hung up with each other, I decided, for lack of anything else to do, that I would go and check on him. I realize now, looking back on it, that there was no point in doing this. Like I said, he would come to me, and that was the most logical decision to follow, that was how I had always done it before. He would go and 'hide' from the world but he always came back to me to talk about what was wrong. Trunks needed his space and I knew that. Vegeta was hell to live with, Bulma pushed him too hard so he could be ready to become CC's president when she was ready to retire, and he always felt like he lived in the shadow of someone he would never be (Mirai Trunks.)

One time, a few years ago, I asked him what he thought about when he ran off. He just shrugged.

"I don't know. Everything.. nothing..."

I laughed. "How can you not know when you think about everything and nothing at the same time."

He looked at me and smiled his 'don't worry about it' smile, "I think about the dumbest things, that's all. I go there to get things off my mind."

"If it's so important that you have to get it off your mind, I don't think it would be too dumb."

"Yeah, well, sometimes I look back at what I have almost done when I was there and I can't help but wonder what frame of mind I was in."

"Like what," I asked.

"Like... I don't know... a couple of times I wanted to blow up the moon but I'm glad I didn't.. I don't need Dente against me too...."

"I'll never be against you," I had said with all the enthusiasm a 13-year-old could come up with.

He had just smiled sadly. "You may not always feel that way, Chibi."

I asked him what he meant by that and he never answered me. I didn’t understand. Trunks and I would always be best of friends no matter what!

As I said before, I knew where he was. It was this oasis in the South Desert that we found when we were still kids. When I got there it was a little past nightfall and the stars were just starting to shine as bright as they could through the distance and vastness of space. He was sitting with his back up against an acacia tree and his head bowed. He knew I was there, I had made no attempt to disguise my ki or to be quiet when I landed, but he didn't acknowledge my presence. There was a long moment of silence before I opened my mouth to ask him what was up, but before I could get it out, he spoke first.

"Ya know, Goten, you really shouldn't have came."

I blinked confused. "Bulma-san called," I said, "she was worried about you and I came to check on you."

"You never have before." He said, his voice hard and his face cold as if he was accusing me of something.

I shrugged, unsure as to what to say. "Well, I don’t really have a reason."

He chuckled as he stood up, eyes the color of the sky met mine like they had a million and one times before but this was different. There was something in the air that sizzled and told me to watch my step. But this was Trunks. He would never hurt me. I could easily read the anger the he had about what ever made him come here but there was a thought full look concerning me and my presence.

"Strange. I was just thinking that I wished you were here."

A silly smile slipped on my face. "Good. So what’s up?"

He sighed heavily, his eyes dropping to the sand and grass at our feet. "I have something I have to tell you, something about me that will change things between us forever."

My smile faded into a serious frown as his eyes slowly looked back to mine. What in Kami’s name could he tell me that would be so profound that we couldn’t get over?

"I love you, Goten."

I cocked my head to the side as if I could figure him out by looking at him in a different angle. "I love you, too." I said innocently, like one would tell their best friend.

He shook his head and walked up to me, placing his hands on either side of my face, the tips of his fingers burying into my hair. It was something he‘d done a million times before. "No, Goten." He said, desperation filtering into his voice, "I LOVE you."

Now we I know I'm a little slow on the up-take sometimes and Trunks was never one to wait on me to figure things out. I just looked at him as if the biggest secret of his life was that his favorite food was Jell-O.

I was only 15 and I wasn't completely aware that my best friend was confessing his undying love to me. I can only imagine what was going on in his head. He just told the biggest secret he had to the person who could crush his life and they didn't even get it.

He sighed harshly and obviously tried to not roll his eyes.

He kissed me... on the lips... hard.

That was when the realization hit me like Vegeta's Big Bang Attack.

Trunks was in love with me.

Trunks. In love. With me.

I repeated it over and over in my head knowing what the words meant but only being able to blink cluelessly. At that time I was unaware of how they would affect my life.

Boy, do I know now.

But while I repeated my shocking conclusion in my head, my body was betraying me. By the time I was alerted to my body's reaction and my need for oxygen, I had gone to far. My arms were wrapped around his neck as I kissed back passionately. His arms wrapped around my waist, a lazy hand gently caressing the tail scar at the base of my spine.

I was never known for my ability to stop something I enjoyed and I was REALLY enjoying this. My mind was so lost in a haze from lack of air and over indulgence of the senses that I couldn't do anything but respond... and I did a lot of it.

When Trunks finally pulled back we were both speechless and gasping for breath.

I was 15 at the time and by no means inexperience... well.. I thought wasn't... but you see, I'd never kissed Trunks before.

I looked into his clear blue eyes slightly uncertain.

"Do.." he paused, "do you..." but he didn't need to finish.

My mind was going a million miles an hour. I didn't. Not like he loved me anyways, at least I didn't think I did but I had never in my life thought of Trunks like THAT. He was my life long friend. He had been there for as long as I could remember. I thought he was my brother until I was 3. What would happen if I said no? Would he get embarrassed and go on acting like it never happened? Could I act like it never happened? Or.. would he say he was sorry and run off, never acting the same way again.. or worse, would I never see him again? What if he went off and left me? I couldn't handle that!! He meant so much to me and I didn't want to lose him. My life was based on the fact that he was in it! That was when I realized; I would lose him if I said no. One way or another he would never be the same Trunks - MY Trunks.

That was when I made a mistake I would make all over again. I lied.

"Yes," I said weakly. I don't know how I said the word or how my mind formed it but that was my answer.

I watched in fascination as something like relief formed in his eyes. He took my face in his hands and opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.

My heart dropped as I watched him try to find the words to say. "I love you so much. I've loved you forever.. I..."

Oh god, what had I done.

He kissed me again, differently. It was like he was trying to prove something to me and I did the only thing that I could do.. I kissed back.

‘Maybe being with Trunks like this wouldn’t be so bad,’ I thought as the kiss deepened but I don‘t remember what I was thinking after that, if I was thinking at all. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t, though, because as the kiss went on and on and on, he took of our clothing and laid me down. I wasn't exactly fighting him; I was helping him. I can remember so well how gentle he was and wonderful and a million other words I don‘t think are even in any language I know. He took his time.. his slow torturous time. I may not have loved him like he loved me at the time but there is only one way to describe what we did that night. We made love. I was enchanted with running my fingers through his hair, the way he said my name, and the way his name sounded so good coming from my lips. I can remember loving the way out bodies molded together with each an every movement and the way his eyes looked at me with total adoration.

Afterwards, I laid in his arms for what seemed like forever. My mind still hadn’t comprehended that me and Trunks were officially more then friends so it almost seemed more like we were just friends with benefits.. very good benefits.

*’But,’* I thought, *‘I could fall in love with him. I could love him as much as he loves me and more.’*

The notion was so profound in my mind and heart it flooded my system and my mind like liquid fire causing my heart to but with a passion I hadn’t even known was there. That I believe now - no, I know if the thought had never came to me everything would have turned out different.

I already did. I always had. The emotion had live in me for all my life and I was just now putting a words to it.

Pure love.

I closed my eyes, my mind becoming calm and the sound of his beautiful heart beat echoed in my head. I stayed there for a long moment before Trunks broke the silence.

"Let’s run away," he said suddenly.

I raised up, blinking at him. "Why?"

He just shook his head. "I hate my life. Everything up until this point has sucked. Everything has had no point other then to please someone else."

I was so surprised by this sudden confession that I couldn’t respond. Since when had he felt that way. Sure his life wasn’t easy to live but this?

He sat up and looked at me. "If we go back to.. that, I’m so scared you will just get shuffled around in it and I..." he looked away unable to finish.

"And you won’t love me anymore?" I said, my voice sounding weak. I was so damn naive, even then.

"I don’t want you to get lost in it." He looked back at me, his eyes pleading. "Please? Just for a little while. We can come back in a few months, just let us.." he moved his hand back and forth "get to know this more." There was a light in his eyes, one I should have noticed. He always gets that same look when he was trying to trick me into something he knew I would say no to.

I should have recognized it. Maybe if I had none of this would have happened.

"But we know everything about each other already." Or at least I thought we did.

"Yeah, but I'm talking about this." He put his hand on my face. "I want to ... so we can get used to this."

"But how? The others could find us if they tried..."

"We can leave earth. We can go somewhere else..."

"But my dad could find us no matter where we..."

"The Dragonballs. We can just wish to hid our ki from who ever we want. Please, Goten... Chibi." he kissed me, "just for a little while," he kissed me again.

Unable to think while he kissed, me I didn’t respond. He was like a drug, something you know you shouldn’t have but you just can’t resist.

In a way, he still is and always will be.

"I need you, Chibi. Please, for me."

I pulled back slightly to look at him and proceeded to make the biggest mistake of my life.

"Yes." I agreed but not whole heartedly. If this would help him - help us then I was willing to do whatever it took. He was right, he usually was.

He smirked at me. A look that proved that no one could possibly be his father but Vegeta.

"Stay here. I’ll go get the radar."

Finding the Dragonballs had been ominously harder then normal. The first one had been literally in the darkest place on earth, the Mariana Trench. It had been under more than 36,000 feet water. The next in a volcano.

"Kilauea is the most active volcano in the world," he informed me as we hovered around its edge after getting the Dragonball. "He turned to me and smirked as he tossed me something. "Merry Christmas." I looked down at what he had given me. It was an uncut diamond the size of my fist.

The third ball we found was by far the worst one. It had wound up in a coffin with a decayed body. The fourth, found at about 3 am, was in the grand Adelphi Theater. The HAUNTED Adelphi Theater. I didn’t see a ghost but still..... !! The fifth one was in a hidden chamber in a pyramid.... With a dead body of a man who’s scull was crushed. The sixth one was found at 3:30 pm in a New York subway. The final one was found in the stomach of a dinosaur that decided that I was to be it’s next meal. I’m not even going to tell you what we did to get that one. All I’ll say is that we had to wait a long time for it to - er - pass.

Well, at least I got a diamond out of the deal.

All in all it took a whole day to find them all. (That included the 6 hours that we waited to get the last one.)

Shenlong was, to say the least, grumpy and imposing as always.

"You have 3 wishes. What is your first wish?"

Me and Trunks exchanged a look. "Three? But we though that there was only two?"

Shenlong growled impatiently. "The last man that made a wish only wanted a long-lasting pair of shoes. He gave his second wish to the person who next awoke me. Now tell me what your first wish is. I grow impatient and wish to get back to my sleep."

I raised my eyebrow. Interesting, not all that bad of a thought though.

"Well..?" Trunks glanced at me then back to the dragon. "How to phrase this...." He turned back to the dragon. "I wish that we could hide our kis from anyone we wanted to.... but each other," he added quickly glancing at me.

That was my next clue, a foreshadowing if you will, but I shrugged it off, easily trusting Trunks with my life.

His eyes glowed red. "Your wish has been granted," he voice boomed, "what is your second?"

It felt like a covering was over me, like no one could see me - but Trunks. I looked at him. He seamed to be feeling the same thing. Then he looked at me.

"You can have this one; I’ll take the next wish." He was playing me like a fine tuned violin. I should have recognized the signs - I should have known. He wanted me to go ahead and waste that wish so I couldn’t reverse his wish with the last wish.

"Oh," I bit my lip trying to think up a good wish. "I can’t really think of anything."

"Wow, Chib, I figured you’d just wish for a refrigerator that never goes empty."

I frowned at him, "I’m not that childish!" I protest, "This is a wish that can’t be taken for granted. What if earth gets attacked and we have to wish someone back?"

Trunks raised an eyebrow at me. "But the Dragonballs will be ready in a year. They can just wish them back then," he said in that everything-will-be-okay-just-do-what-I-say tone.

"Yeah, but what if someone attacks like tomorrow and both Vegeta and Dad get killed..."

He shrugged in his I-don't-care manner, a hint of annoyance flashed across his face. "Won’t matter to us; We won’t even be on earth."

I was about to ask his what that meant but Shenlong interrupted me.

"Give me your second wish, Now!"

I jumped, "Okay, okay! I want to save my wish for later." Shenlong gave me a loud, low growl and i corrected myself. "I wish for me to wish my wish later."

"Fine, but I will only save one wish for you and you only so you must tell me your third wish now!"

I looked at Trunks. "Your turn," I said.

A strange look crossed his face. His lip curled upwards and his eyes twinkled with something dangerous. He looked more like Vegeta then my Trunks.

My Trunks. How I miss my Trunks.

"My wish is..." He paused to think of the right words, "I want to be the most powerful being in all the universe times 100!" My jaw draped.

"What!!!" I yelled, but he continued.

"I want to be stronger than my father, Kakarotto, Gohan, I want to be so strong that there is no possible way for anyone to ever defeat me... especially my father!"

When I think back to that moment things cross my mind like "I could have stopped him, said something... knocked him out or anything!" I know I probably couldn’t have but I still blame myself.

And it IS my fault.

"Trunks.. why?"

He did nothing but look at the dragon.

"Your wish has been done. Farewell, and until your other wish is to be made..." And than the dragon was gone, seconds later followed by the dragonballs.

I blinked twice. "Nothing changed." I said stupidly and slightly hopeful.

He looked back to me and smirked. "Oh yes it did."

Suddenly I felt his ki rise, and rise, and rise, higher, and higher, and higher. Oh, Kami! I could feel the power oozing around me.. Trunks’ power. It was.. and still is... utterly unbelievable and that wasn’t (and isn’t) even the half of it. He was like an endless pit of strength and energy and.. Kami! It felt like I was smothering in his energy and it made me feel like an ant. I always thought when Dad turned Super Saiyajin 3 that his power was imposable - or even Buu at his highest power... but this - he was - I still can’t find the words.

The closest word I have found since then is a Majisteajin word. Ikrabilaet. It means something along the lines of "more power then all the universes and Gods combined." That’s what they call Trunks now on Planet Majistea. They call me the Deskrabilaet. It means, "God of the Ikrabilaet." How wrong that word is. God’s have power over those that follow them. I have no power of Trunks. If anything, I'm the one following him.

Trunks flexed his hands, feeling his power pulsing through his veins. I closed my eyes, to the sight and everything around me but it was still imposable to block out Trunks’ power. It was in the very air I was breathing.. it WAS the air. I tried to take a step back but I tripped and fell on my ass. I didn’t really notice; I was too busy trying to keep existing while being trapped in Trunks’ Ki.

I heard him move towards me each step shook me to my very soul. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He stood over me, intimidating and menacing. I felt like crying - like curling into a ball and just crying myself to death. When he held out his hand I flinched.

"Let’s go Chibi."

I glanced at his hand and then to his face. His eyes were softer then normal, and I could just detect something that hadn’t been there before.

Insanity? No. Obsession, but with what, I don’t know.

I let out a breath I didn’t even know I had as I obediently took it.

I remember looking at earth as we left its atmosphere and thinking about how blue it was. I never realized until then that it was the same blue as Trunks’ eyes.

"Mine, Goten. You’re mine... forever," I heard Trunks declare in my ear. I turned away from earth to face him.

If only I realized at the time that I would never see earth again.
