Boy Meets Girls
Chapter 6: Weekend At The Beach
Part Two
------------------------------
"Could someone pass me the suntan oil please?" said a voice behind
them, it was Trunks who just got changed and stepped out of the house.
The five girls turned to see him. What they saw was quite a delight for
the female eye; Trunks was wearing nothing more than a blue with green
swimsuit while holding a towel in hand and with the other hand in his
pocket. Each one of his muscles were shown out without him even having
the need to stretch (or pose for that matter), his chest, thorax,
shoulders, arms and even legs were very developed without making him
look out of proportion for a guy his age. His body even showed muscles
the Senshi didn't knew that existed. He was a fine example of manhood
(if you want to put it that way).
(And to think that every caracter in the DBZ series is built like this
or even better. If Goku would've shown up in a swimsuit, the Senshi
would've died from a heart attack.)
All of the girls looked at him, Makoto knew that Trunks was well built,
especially after all the times she grabbed his arm by dishonorable
ways, but he always wore a jacket and therefore she never saw his arms,
she certainly didn't expect something like this. One picture says more
than a hundred arm holds.
Rei lifted her sun glasses to have a better look scene, this guy's body
could really compensate for all the goof ups he pulled out with
Mako-chan.
Ami's book fell from her hands the moment she saw him. He was
anatomically perfect the way she saw him, she made an attempt to close
her eyes while repeating in her head [think pure thought, think pure
thoughts, think pure thoughts, think pure thoughts, think...].
Usagi and Minako had both the same reaction, they were both making
goofy smiles while their eyes examined Trunks from head to toes.
Trunks... noticed that no one was passing him the suntan oil, all the
girls were looking at him. He started examining himself to see if there
was something wrong, it's not as if he forgot to put his swimsuit on.
The five girls snapped out of their daydream trying to regain
composure, Ami took the initiative and handed him the bottle.
"Thanks." he said, he began to pour the stuff on the palm of his hand
and rubbing it against his chest.
No need to say that by doing so it didn't help much the Senshi to
ignore him, they were really making a big effort to contain themselves
from blushing (with no great success though).
"Could someone please put some oil on my back?" he asked
Everyone was now even more nervous, Makoto was the first to answer,
there's no way she could stand a scene of one of her friends rubbing
oil on the guy she liked, she took the bottle and began nervously to
caress his back with her oiled up hand. Trunks noticed that all of the
girls' faces were deep red and they were still staring at him.
"You girls should use some sun block." he told them "Your faces are
very red, if you don't take care you'll end up having sunburns."
All the girls finally noticed that they were indeed blushing and tried
to
regain composure once again, although Makoto couldn't while her hands
were traveling along Trunks' back
Moments later, once all the Senshi became more used to the idea of
having Trunks around in a swimsuit, a volley-ball match was started.
On one side, were Usagi, Trunks and Rei. On the other, Minako, Makoto
and Ami. The match began. Minako and Makoto were quite good at this
sport, Minako was good at the defense but even better at making passes.
Makoto took advantage of her height and spiked the ball easily. Ami
wasn't very good at this sport but she managed by passing the ball to
her team mates who could obviously do better than her. On the other
side of the court it was a different story. Trunks was good at this
sport no doubt about it, but Usagi was VERY sloppy, she missed half of
the passes he made her, the other half when she actually TOUCHED the
ball she send it off court. Rei spent most of the time insulting Usagi
than hitting the ball which wasn't much of a help either. Trunks had to
do mostly everything and on top of all that he had to deal with the
constant conflict between the two of his teammates. Since volley ball
is a sport that requires team work, the outcome was obvious, Minako,
Makoto and Amy won the match.
Once that disastrous match was over, all of them headed inside the
water to play with the waves and stuff like that. Trunks didn't
reminded the last time he had so much fun. As the day went on, they
made sand castles played frizbee and other sort of beach sports/games.
A few hours later, everyone was exhausted except Trunks. He was like a
little boy who just wanted to play more and more. Unfortunately,
everyone was too tiered to do anything more beyond sitting down.
Makoto was less tiered than the rest when suddenly she had an idea.
"Trunks-kun." she said "How about if we go rafting?"
"Sure, that sounds great!" he responded "I'll go get the raft!"
Moments later, Trunks and Makoto were in the ocean on a rubber raft.
Minako, Rei, Usagi and Ami went inside the house to get something to
eat. Trunks was joyfully rowing while Makoto sat in front of him, she
was preparing her next move.
[I finally got him alone with me,] she thought [it's time to make my
move. I saw this once in that 'Oh! My goddess' anime Usagi lent me.
This time I'll get him.]
She took a fast look around, there was no one to disturb them, her
friends weren't here and there wasn't a single boat from where they
stood. It was just him, her and the ocean. She only had to do this
right.
"Trunks-kun..." she said
"Yes?"
"Could I take your place and row?" she began "It looks like fun."
"Sure, go ahead."
Makoto slowly got up and moved towards him, then she pretended to
twiddle, it was pretty easy, the waves helped her cause. Trunks saw
that she was about to fall into the water and quickly got up and tried
to reach her. Step one was completed, Makoto let him grab her hand and
then launched herself towards him, fortunately the current helped once
again. Trunks received her against his chest, he fell on his back with
Makoto on top of him, his head hitting the border of the rubber raft,
no damage was done.
"Are you okay?" he asked her
"Yes..." she answered with her enhanced-female-seducing-voice
Trunks' brain immediately switched on informing him of the compromising
pose he was in.
"Oh my God! She's all over him!" Usagi said while holding a pair of
binoculars in front of her eyes.
"Usagi... you really shouldn't be peeping on them." Ami told her
"Are they kissing?" Rei asked Usagi "Let me see!"
"Hey I want to see too!" Minako spoke, then she turned towards Ami
"Ami, does your aunt have another pair of binoculars in here?"
"Come on hand them over!" Rei declared while fighting with Usagi for
the lenses
Minako was searching frenetically for another pair, Usagi and Rei were
shareing the same binoculars, they had one eye on each different side,
Ami stood there with a hand over her face.
Meanwhile, back at the raft:
Trunks laid there speechless, he was well aware of the current
situation, he noticed that his hands were accidentally holding Makoto's
waist while hers were over his chest and shoulder. Both of their legs
were crossed with one another. Trunks didn't know what to do or what to
say. He looked at Makoto, she was far from unattractive and had quite
an adorable face (not to mention figure). He could fell her soft oiled
up skin pressing against his, he was paralyzed with fear for the first
time, he suddenly began to hear Usagi's voice in his head.
"Do you find her attractive?..... She could make a really great
girlfriend, right?....... So, do you like her?....... Most people think
both of you make a cute couple..."
Makoto looked him deep into the eyes, for the first time ever she saw
him blush, it was nice to see him lay there completely defenseless way
too nervous and showing the timid guy he was under that cold appearance
he always gave, she had him all to herself. Time seam to stop for her,
she wished they could stay like this forever while gently being rocked
by the current. Her hand that held his shoulder slowly moved towards
his neck. This only helped to enhance Trunks' nervousness.
"Trunks-kun..." she said
"Er... y... y... yes?" he answered
Makoto's face came closer to his. Usagi, Rei and Minako (who found a
telescope) were watching the entire event as well, they were blushing
and drooling, this was better than the movies.
Suddenly, Trunks' face took a serious expression. He quickly turned his
head towards his left side with a concerned look in his eyes, then he
grabbed Makoto tightly into his arms.
"Take cover!!" he shouted as he jumped into the water with Makoto in
his arms.
Just as they hit the water, a huge shark-like creature came out next to
the raft and caught it between its fangs, the raft burst into rubber
parts. If they had stayed there another second they would've been that
thing's lunch.
"What on Earth was that??" Makoto asked still not sure of what happened
"What on Earth was THAT??" Usagi asked as she saw her friends almost
got killed by the creature.
"Oh no!" Minako spoke "It must be another monster. We've got to help
them!"
The four girls took out there transforming artifacts and so began the
5 minutes multi-colored transformation scenes.
"Are you okay Mako-chan??" Trunks asked her while they were both
floating
"I think so." she responded "We have to get out of here fast."
Just after she said that, the creature jumped out of the water and
launched itself against both of its victims. Makoto and Trunks could
clearly see it now. It had the body of a shark but had a pair of arms
and legs as well, its eyes were replaced by a pair of robotic lenses
which focused from time to time. If it wasn't for those sharp fangs it
had, it would look very laughable.
"Look out!" Trunks shouted as he submerged Makoto into the water by
pressing on the top of her head.
A glowing sphere appeared from the palm of Trunks' other hand right
after Makoto disappeared from the surface. Trunks hurled the energy
ball right in front of the creatures' face. It made contact and blew up
sending the attacker spinning back into the water.
Makoto came out to the surface just after that, she didn't see anything
after being pushed into the water but noticed that the monster wasn't
there anymore.
"Wh.. what happened??" she asked confused
"Let's get out of here, it might come back!" he responded [I think it's
still alive, I hope I bought us enough time to get out of here!]
"Right!" Makoto said as they both began to swim towards the shore.
Suddenly, Trunks felt the thing's presence again.
[That's weird.] he thought [It's not attacking. It's just circling
under us. What is it doing?]
Soon, his question was answered, the water began to stir up. In a
couple of seconds they were both trapped into a huge whirlpool. The
creature was still circling with great speed under them, feeding the
whirlpool by it's constant movement, it probably was trying to drown
its victims before eating them. Makoto and Trunks were separated from
each other caught by the crazy current. Trunks held his breath to avoid
from drowning; Makoto wasn't so fortunate, she was very tiered and
couldn't keep her breath as long as Trunks. In a matter of seconds she
fell unconscious from all the water she gulped. Trunks felt
disorientated inside the whirlpool but manage to see that Makoto was
in trouble.
[I've got to get her out of here or she'll drown] he thought
Another sphere began to form from the palm of his hand, Trunks tried to
regain balance and shot the bolt right in the center of the whirlpool
causing an explosion similar to a water geyser. All three were thrown
out in different directions. Trunks was sent right by the shore and
managed to land on his feet. Makoto landed on the ocean which was the
best thing that could happen to her, while being unconscious, if she
had landed on the beach, she would've fallen head first causing a
certain death. Unfortunately, the shark fell into the ocean as well.
That put Makoto in danger. The monster began to swim towards it's
unconscious victim.
"CRESCENT BEAM SHOWER!"
A considerable amount of yellow blasts cut the sharks route towards
Makoto. The four Sailor Senshi appeared next to Trunks.
"My friend is still in there!" he told them "You've got to get that
thing out of the water while I go and get her!"
He wasted no time in heading towards the ocean, the Senshi didn't even
had time to answer him.
"Is he insane??" Rei asked
Sailor Mercury gathered both of her hands creating a foggy blue sphere
between them.
"SHABBON SPRAY FREEZE!" she shouted
The water around the shark began to freeze, in a matter of time it
found itself caught inside a block of ice. The current did most of the
rest and threw the victim by the shore still cought in it's frozen
prison.
"MOON PRINCESS HALATION!"
Sailor Moon stood in front of the monster pointing at him with her
scepter . The blast struck her foe and turned it into moon dust in a
matter of seconds.
Everyone was now looking for Trunks and Makoto who came out of the
water not long after. Trunks held Makoto in his arms, she was still
unconscious and in a bad shape, she wasn't breathing. Ami was the first
to check on Makoto as Trunks laid her over the sand.
"She took a lot of water!" she said "She'll need artificial mouth
breathing or she won't make it!"
Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars looked at each other. Putting
their lips on a girl's mouth was not something they usually though
about, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience either, but if it was for
Mako-chan's sake then...
"What do I have to do??" Trunks asked Sailor Mercury as he put himself
next to Makoto's head
The Senshi looked surprised at him.
"Well... er... you'll have to hold her head back by the neck, press her
nose and blow into her mouth while I apply pressure on her chest."
she responded
Trunks began to do so. Ami applied pressure in Makoto's chest while
the other three Senshi could only watch. After a certain time, Ami
stopped making pressure and put her ear where Makoto's heart was, then
she resumed to make pressure. Trunks kept blowing into her mouth
according to Sailor Mercury's indications. After a while, she started
coughing and spitting out some water, her throat burned and felt dry.
She then regain consciousness, Trunks raised her in a sitting position.
"Are you all right??" he asked still worried
"Yeah... I... I think so..." she spoke with a hoarse
voice
"Thank goodness!" he said while hugging her tightly "I was worried
sick..."
The Senshi gazed upon the couple, Trunks was tenderly holding Makoto
between his arms while they were both seated, it was time to leave, the
four of them didn't have anything else to do here, it was best to leave
them alone.
Trunks heard them leave, he didn't mind. Mako-chan was all right and
that's the only thing in the world that matter to him right now.
Makoto felt his arms around her still not sure of what happened or how
did she get here, she only knew that Trunks was holding here and she
really didn't mind that he did. She put her arms around his waist and
leant her head over his chest. They stood like that for a couple of
seconds until they decided to go inside and join their friends.
Minako, Usagi, Ami and Rei acted as if nothing had happened.
Later at night, all of the Senshi were interrogating Makoto again,
awaiting for details while Trunks was taking a shower, this was
strictly girl talk. Makoto managed to find out by her friends what
happened while she was unconscious, although no one actually manage to
see the whole thing or explain how that geyser went off in the middle
of the sea.
"So does it counts as a kiss??" Minako asked her
"I don't know, I wasn't even conscious." she responded
"Did it feel good while he was holding you?" Usagi asked, Makoto only
nodded in response.
"I still can't believe he went back for you even if that thing was
still in there." Ami stated "He really must like you to do that."
"And what about you Rei?" Usagi brought up "Now do you think she has
enough reasons to go after him?"
"Hun?" Rei asked snapping out of a trance "Er... right, I guess I was
wrong about him. You sure have one heck of a guy there Mako-chan..."
The chat went on between the girls, Rei wasn't participating much in
the conversation though, she was lost in thought.
[That energy...] she thought [I felt it today when that monster showed
up. That means that Super Saiya-man was here also... But why didn't he
appear during combat? What is he up to? Is he really on our side?... I
wonder if Trunks saw anything while being there?]
She didn't want to bring that up at this point. After all this wasn't
a good moment to talk about it, Mako-chan almost died today and it
wouldn't be nice getting everyone in a bad mood like the last meeting
about Super Saiya-man.
Meanwhile, Trunks was in the shower. He was cursing himself for almost
letting Makoto die this morning, if Sailor Mercury hadn't shown up
there's no way he could've saved her. Maybe he should've saved Makoto
using the Bukujutsu technique while it was still time, even if that
meant revealing his powers to her. He began to crush the soap in his
hand in a sign of frustration. He was too familiar with this feeling...
guilt. It felt horrible the time he lost his father and friends, and
now, guilt was chasing him even in another world.
And then there was something else, this was the fourth time the Senshi
appeared. But he couldn't help noticing that Sailor Jupiter was rarely
there, just like today. Even though he only saw her once or twice he
felt something familiar about her.
Moments later, once Trunks finished bathing, he walked towards his room
(No! He wasn't naked if that's what you were thinking!). He found
Makoto standing next to his door.
"Mako-chan... What are you doing here?" he asked
"I think I didn't thanked you for saving me today." she responded
"I wasn't the one that saved you." he stated "It was the Sailor
Senshi."
"But you were the one who got me out of the water, weren't you?" she
asked
"If Sailor Mercury hadn't shown up you would be dead by now." he sadly
replied
Makoto looked at him, she knew him quite well since she became friends
with him. He was having another one of his guilty moments.
"Don't tell me you're felling guilty again?" she asked
"Hun?" he was surprised how well she knew him "Guess I can't fool
you."
"Listen," she said "you don't have to feel this way, you know you did
okay, and I'm still alive, so stop felling guilty."
"Kind of a close call the way I see it..." he replied
Makoto put her arms around his neck and gave him a big hug.
"I promise you I won't let myself get killed." she told him while she
held him tightly "Does that makes you feel any better now?"
Trunks didn't answered, he still wasn't convinced about that, and still
felt sad even though she was hugging him, he knew she meant well by
trying to comfort him. His guilt was something hard to get rid of.
Taking him by surprise, Makoto gave him a fast kiss in the lips. Trunks
stood there completely paralyzed. Makoto then let go of him and headed
towards her room.
"You'll be okay." she told him as she entered her room "Sweet
dreams..."
"Er... right... er... Good night..." he said once his brain recovered
from the shock
Makoto's door closed behind her leaving a confused Trunks standing
alone by the hall. He touched his lips with the tip of his finger still
not sure of what just happened; once he noticed he was standing alone
in front of his door he went inside his room and laid over the bed. He
wasn't felling guilty anymore, now he was confused beyond belief.
"What was that all about?" he asked himself while looking at the
ceiling, he still was very confused as how he felt for Makoto and still
couldn't get out of his mind what Usagi told him in the train.
"Makoto Kino..." he said in a low tone of voice as he slowly began to
fall asleep.
