Chapter Text
After the Evil Monday that shall not be named as Kao grumpily called it Cahira and her went home. Cahira was practically fangirling over Goten while tale syn and kaori listened and made affirmative sounds when necessary . Kaori was happy for cahira this project could be good for her ,and she's only heard good things about Goten so she was all for it ,and she is honored to be the "maid of honor" in their "wedding" they were already looking at dresses and rings and themes color schemes etc . It was probably the most girly she's been in a while ,and she was enjoying it. The rest of the week was spent listening to cahira gush about how sweet Goten was (they've advanced from just school conversations to texting kao is convinced at this rate the marriage may be real. It was also spent turning down Trunks' advances and getting everything together to pack . Since according to the project they have to move in with their "spouses" for the remainder of the year for "authenticity" Mr.Dude says but kao is still claiming that he gets some kind of sick twisted happiness out of the pain and misfortune of his students . Like all teachers seem to it was like in the job description or something right after "embarrassing your students to get their attention 101" wherever this teacher handbook was Kao had decided she will find it and she will kill it for the good of the future . Now don’t get her wrong she didn’t mind being married to Trunks he was hot like burning after all with hair her favorite color ,and a body that made you want to thank the gods . Yet he was still a cocky little shit ,and no amount of looks can make up for it . No him or Goten didn’t participate in the teasing or bullying some of his "friends" seemed to take particularly joy in .If they weren't supposed to be blending in kao and cahira would've already been knocking those bullies brains out . Someone should never be picked on for being different or made to feel as less . The girls stand up for the bullied when they can which got them some kind of hero worship . But they can't always be there ,and those kids still have to suffer Goten would speak up if he could but Trunks it was like he was looking for his "friends" approval like it was politics ,and one move against them can make or break him .Kao just couldn't respect him for that he would have to really adjust a lot of things in his attitude and life if he expected her to take him seriously. ( AN: seriously bullying is just wrong if you're being bullied or seeing someone else going through it don't just sit there stand up for them be it for race sexuality religious prefrences whatever bullying is just wrong . Speak up you never know when you can save someone's life by just being there . I got into plenty of fights in schools standing up for those who couldn't do it themselves ,and in the end it was worth it to know I may have made a difference to be thanked and cried on for being there . Making them feel like they matter a good percentage of suicides is caused by bullying not just physical but mental emotional bullying as well silence hurts ! Now back to the story .) Kao would respect him more if he made some kind of difference . If his character was as good as his outside appearance was . But what's done is done after she packed everything she needed in capsules for both her and Tala who was definitely coming she already told trunks they were a package deal .She took a shower put on comfortable clothes a cropped hooded sweatshirt that said "just do it later "and Sweat pants with black vans and her curly hair out to air dry.She decided that she shall not put anymore effort into it. Sine it was 5pm on a Friday ,and she was waiting for trunks to come so she can follow him to his house .She went downstairs to grab a bag of lime tortilla chips ,because they are freaking addictive ,and sat down with Tala in her pup form in her lap .Watching supernatural reruns because Winchester's that’s why don't forget the destiel subtext that she freaking lives for. While she was waiting cahira came down with syn and her stuff grabbed a bottle of citrus green tea for the both of them and they both played the waiting game while watching Dean and Sam kick demon ass ,and argued back and forth good naturedly between what the best otp in the show was kaori was all about that destiel and cahira was a wincest lover . wjile they were talking the door bell rang and cahira went to go get it . Kaori just continued to eat her chips and thank fate for agreeing that destiel was better . She heard the voices of trunks and Goten as soon as they pulled up but she had no time for them interrupting her show they could wait an extra 5 minutes .
Time jump to 2 hours later at the Briefs' household .*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
They had finally made it to Trunks' house and pulled into the driveway . Kaori and Tala hopped out and followed trunks inside to the room they'd be staying in . Right before they opened the door trunks turned around and told her to close her eyes. To which kaori looked at him with a look that said "bitch please " . Then trunks looked so earnest ,and told her he wanted it to be a surprise so he obliged n led her inside the room ,then told her to open her eyes she did ,and gasped .The room was gorgeous she turned to look at trunks who said they'd been working on it all week and asked cahira for help on what would make her more comfortable . Kaori could believe that since the wall depicted their galaxy back home . The room was double leveled with a huge closet and ensuite bathroom that had a separate shower and a huge jacuzzi tub decorated in purple , black and silver ; her favorite and ironically two of the royal colors as well . There was also a big beautiful purple and silver canopy futon that she was immediately in love with that had black sheets as well as a black purple and silver celsetial quilt with all the constellations and zodiacs; with huge fluffy looking black pillows and some purple throw pillows a couple of them saying "pisces" with her star sign . the carpeting was purple shag that your feet could just sink into with a huge area rug that showed the full moon.
There was a purple chandelier in the middle of the ceiling with mini planets and star lanterns at different intervals on the ceiling with the wall decorated with twinkling tea lights and different paintings of tala as well as the blown up picture of her family along with Cahira and her dad and mom right behind the bed and across the bed was a huge t.v with the newest game systems and cable. The upstairs had comfortable chairs with some tall purple lamps as well as an area set aside for tala and a desk where she could do her work . All in all she was in awe with the room . She turned ,and looked to trunks and gave him what may have been the first smile ever as she said thank you . He rubbed the back of his head while blushing and said you're welcome and told her dinner would be in an hour ,and she'll get to meet his family . She said ok then he left while she decided what to wear to meet the family ......
An hour later she was ready . She took another shower and split her long hair into two parts which she braided down in fishtail braids all the way down to her hips. She then put on a black camisole and a long tribal style maxi skirt ,and was ready to go . She made sure to call Cahira to thank her and see how she was settling in first and cahira said her and syn were fine but Goten's Mom was a little intense . She laughed with her until she had to go . Following her nose she found her way to the kitchen where there was a little girl around 6 with blue hair and eyes an old man with a cat on his shoulder and the same color hair as trunks a blonde woman whose eyes looked closed for some reason an older woman with short blue hair that smelled like she could be trunks' mother and another man with gravity defying flame like hair his arms crossed and a scowl on his face . AS soon as they registered that she was there the blonde woman ran up to her and grabbed her hand to pull her to the table Kao had to immediately squash the urge to break her arm . The blonde introduced herself as bunny trunks' grandmother the old guy with the immovable cat was trunks senior her husband ,and his grandfather. The little one who was staring at kao was bra his little sister. The last two were bulma and vegeta his mom and dad . Kao said hi as she was introduced and put to sit next to trunks where bunny had a huge spread of delicious food ,and as soon as kao was seated they were told to dig in and boy did they .Kao keeping up with the boys and Bra much to everyone elses' surprise. she just pointedly looked at trunks bra and vegeta's plate with a raised eyebrow and continued eating . 45 minutes later after everyone was fed and they were in the living room the questions began . ( A/N :here I'm gonna do it in list form so it'll be easier )
Bulma wanted to know how old she was to which she promptly answered 17
Bunny wanted to know if she wanted any children the answer was a few . To which bunny looked creepily excited and started mumbling nonsense about great grandchildren .
Dr.Briefs simply wanted to know what she was going to do after high school to which she vaguely answered that it was already planned out for her whether she wanted it or not never confirming what it was .
Vegeta … just wanted to sit there looking angry at his choices in life that lead him to that moment .
Bulma wanted to know how many boyfriends she's had . Which she simply answered none .
At that everyone looked shock then they all asked at once . No first kiss ? No first date? No first intimate male or female you know not picky interaction ? Kaori just shrugged ,and answered no to all of them . And looked at them all with a straight face the whole time then the hard questions came .
Bra . DO you have any brothers and sisters ? Kao got really quiet from the moment until she answered I used to have a brother … cahira is the closest thing to a sister I have . SO Bra being the freaking adorable one that she is simply declared that she'll be kaori's new little sister because having a big sister is so much better than having a stupid older brother anyways she said while looking at Trunks with contempt . Kaori just giggled and said ok .
Bulma asked so will we ever get to meet your parents then ,and kaoris mood immediately went down again . "If you meet my parents …..please let them know I miss them and that I hope they're taking good care of Ryuko wherever they are ,and before you ask I have no other family it is just me Tala syn and cahira she lost her family as well we're both orphans ."
The mood immediately turned somber ,and sad while kaori excused herself to go to her room thinking of all that she had lost . After changing clothes into boyshorts a knee high socks and a huge button up pajama shirt she laid in bed with Tala petting her ,and thinking of her parents and her brother . While she was lost in thought bra knocked on her door ,and when she got confirmation came in her room . "you're sad " bra who had also changed into her pj and was hugging a bunny teddy bear exclaimed . Kao gave her a watery smile ,and said "yeah I am" she said motioning for bra to come lay down with her while tala crawled onto the bluenettes lap. I miss them so much I try to keep myself as busy as I can so that I won't think about it too much ,but sometimes it doesn't work out like that . Me and cahira tala and syn were all from the same place and it's so different from here you know the customs clothes schools acts even food sometimes it's all new to us ,and we have to relearn a whole culture different from the one we grew up in ; our status here is different as well" "where are you from?" Asked Bra curiously kaori looked at her like she was searching for something . "can you keep a secret ?" She asked her sitting up while Tala looked on . " bra nodded seriously " Me Cahira Tala and syn are all fae , we come from the fae realm where I am a princess as well as the leader of the wild hunt you know what that is don't you ?" Bra nodded excitedly of course she did she's been reading the big books since she was 4 she's 6 years old now as well as a briefs which means she's genetically genius . Bra started rattling off questions like what can she do what did she look like without her Glamour her powers etc etc. and kaori answered them all with a smile and just for the night she was no longer thinking of what she lost but what she gained instead .
