Under the Cherry Blossom Tree- Chapter 3- Final Destination

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault but I want her so much
Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame

Bra carried a crying Marron down the dark road. If a cop pulled them over for curfiew Bra was to the point of killing. She didn't care anymore. They'd shamed her, beat her, disowned her..but that wasn't what mattered. She looked at the crying blonde in her arms. They shamed Marron, they beat Marron and they abandoned their love for their daughters because they loved each other. That was what mattered, that they'd hurt her lover. Not just her lover, her love.

Bra gently set Marron down on a street corner and washed her tears away. She gently massaged the bruises her father left on her, and kissed away her shaking. She soothed her only companion and promised how everything was going to turn out.

"Bra...what do we do now?" Marron asked looking at the cold sidewalk under them. Bra was stunned, she didn't know what to say, but she knew she had to answer.

"We do whatever. We do whatever it takes to be together. I love you, and I know we can make it." Marron sighed, happy or depressed, Bra couldn't tell, but she felt it was a sigh of contentment at her words when Marron rested her head on Bra's shoulder. She tenderly wrapped her arms around Marron, kissing her forhead until a black car pulled up.

The window rolled down and a man stuck his head out, "How much?"

Bra glared, the adrenaline making her shake, Marron knew the shit was going to hit the fan. She jumped up and tried to calm Bra down, but Bra walked up to the car, dragging Marron behind her.

"What?" Bra asked coldly, reaching in the window and grabbing the passenger by his neck. She violently pulled him from the vehicle and beat the shit out of him. A punch to his jaw, a kick to his groin. She dropped him to the floor and spit on him.

"Don't you DARE dis my friend like that!" Bra spat as she noticed he was knocked out, "oops..."

She went through his pockets, taking his wallet she counted 200 dollars. She looked at Marron, things couldn't get much worse. They hastily grabbed the money and jumped in the car, speeding away.

"Bra...that was bad!" Marron scolded. Bra wasn't listening, she was trying to figure out how to survive. Her saiyajin instincts kicked in and brought on many possibilites. Many illegal possibilites. She frowned and her human intelligence shown through. She needed to take care of Marron. She knew Marron would follow her faithfully wherever she went, and that was the problem. It wasn't being with Marron, it was she wasn't sure how to take care of Marron. She'd kill herself if she saw Marron living on the streets, shamed and dirty. She sighed. What options did she have..?

When they stop and stare - don't worry me
Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head

Gohan answered his door. Bra was standing infront of him holding Marron in her arms.

"Gohan...please..I need your help. Can Marron stay here until I return?" She asked, begged.

Gohan looked at her skeptically, "How long..?"

Bra sighed, "I don't know really...weeks maybe..but I promise I'll be back..I just need her to be safe while I'm gone. Come on, Gohan...don't you know how it feels? Don't you recall Mr. Satan shunning you and Videl?"

Gohan felt beat, he knew it was different, but he also knew it was the same thing. "Fine.."

Gohan led Bra to a guest room, where she carefully layed Marron on the bed. She turned, "Thank you, Gohan, I owe you one.." He grunted, "No shit, squirt.." But then smiled warmly.

Bra was walking out the door when Gohan spoke again.

"Did she fall asleep or did something happen to knock her out?" He questioned, still not quite sure about the situation. Bra froze, "uh...yeah..."
Bra gripped the steering wheel as tears fell down her face. It was so hard to leave Marron there, especially in the very begining of their wonderful lives together. Especially when she knew what Marron was going to have to face alone. She looked down for a moment, then back up at the road choking on a sob. She knew she had to, but she'd be back for Marron. As soon as she could take care of Marron she'd be back for her love. She just hoped Marron understood...and waited for her.
Marron woke up. Where was she. A soft warm bed, she jumped up. Where was Bra? She frantically ran through the house, finally realizing where she was as she walked into a kitchen.

"Good Morning, Marron..." Pan kept her eyes on the floor.

"What..where...What happened?" She finally managed to get the words out.

Pan shrugged, "Bra came over around 3 am last night and left you here." Pan left with her breakfast to her room, slamming the door and locking it.

Marrons shoulders dropped. Bra left her? There must be a reasonable explination, Bra wouldn't leave her. Even when things were bad. She found Gohan in his study and questioned him.

"Well..she said she needed a place for you to be safe.." he was obviously uncomfortable with the topic.

"Is she comming back!?" Marron asked, begining to cry.

Gohan shrugged.

Marron slowly dragged herself back to the guest room. Bra left her here...She sat on her bed and rested her face in her hands. This wasn't supposed to happen. They were supposed to be together..in everything they did. In everything they were. She slowly crumbled, trying hard not to, but she failed as the sobs and cries fell out.
Bra walked around the forest. There was a city about 10 miles away, and this was where she was determined to keep her treasure. Her prize, her everything. Her Marron. She couldn't find a clearing, so she made one, easily chopping tree's down. She looked at all the wood on the ground. She could do it...she could..she tried to encourage herself but things were so bleak and gray without Marron holding her hand. She quickly got to work, the sooner she was done the sooner her and Marron would be together again. She put her hands together and cracked her knuckles, If Goku could do it, so could she.
Marron walked out of the room. Bra'd been gone for a week. It'd been the worst week of her life, filled with tears, questions and agony. She stepped into the living room and quickly looked down. She turned and walked away, ignoring Trunks and Pan's make out session on the couch. It made her heart ache for Bra even more.

She remembered how her and Bra hadn't gone very far, and it was simply because she was scared. She felt bad, because she could feel Bra's tension, wanting to attack Marron, being so attracted to her, but holding back for her. The most she'd allowed her counterpart to do was kiss on her. She wouldn't even let her hands wonder after the first night, which told her it made her nervous.

"Bra...I love you.." she whispered as she locked herself in her room again.

Pan grumbled. Marron was such a stick in the mud. So boring, so unmovable. Why was she this pissy because Bra ran off. Pan shrugged, trying to talk to Marron again. A rare occasion Marron was out of her room.

"You know, Marron...it's been a month now. If a guy ditched me like that," She put emphasis on 'guy', "I'd say 'fine! Screw you too!' Marron..you need to get out. Stop moping around the house, date people, there's plenty of guys out there. Unless...you prefer women." Pan offered, bitter sweet. Kind but cruel.

Marrons tears fell into her plate of eggs and toast. "Bra didn't ditch me. She's coming back. I just have to wait."

Pan frowned and shook her head, "You don't get it do you? She didn't want a fight over what you guys were, so as soon as you fell asleep she dropped you off here and ran. This isn't a temporary stay..this is where she left you. She's not coming back..and personally I hope she never does. You're better off without her."

Marron stood up, looming over the younger female, "Don't you EVER talk about her like that again!"

Pan huffed, "Geez, Pissy...fine. I won't. But you know it's the truth. She's not coming back." With that Pan turned and left. Marron frowned, she knew Pan was trying to plant the seed of doubt in her mind. The worst part was...she knew Pan succeeded.
Pan smiled, almost evily. "Perfect..wait! Why are you doing that?" she questioned hastily as Marron pulled the dress up to hide her cleavage.

"Because I don't want to show myself to anyone but.." Pan cut her off.

"Don't say that. Don't think of her. Tonights your date..enjoy it! You know you won't if you think of her."

Marron sighed. 'anyone but bra..' she finished in her mind.

There was a honk outside. Marron looked over her shoulder at the window. "You know..most gentlemen come up to the door..."

Pan laughed, "I don't know any gentlemen and I set up your date, so be happy!" with that Pan ushered her out the door and into a car.

Marron looked at her lap. She couldn't believe she was in a car with a strange male when Bra was all she could think of. She wondered where she was...was Bra thinking of her? She banished the thoughts, and heard her voice in her head. ' Think of something else! I know I won't enjoy tonight if I don't...who am I kidding? I won't enjoy this anyway...but atleast now Pan will shut up. Bra...I can't belive you left me here alone.'

The man, named "Derek", took her to a local dance club. She didn't really want to be there,and she didn't really want to be around people.

I keep asking myself, wondering how
I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out
Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me
Nobody else so we can be free

Marron poked at her food. She was hungry, but she didn't want to eat, especially something payed for by this asshole. She looked up at him, disgustingly claiming his food with no manners. She made a face of disgust and thought about how cute Bra looked as she carefully ate her food, and how she freaked out it any of it touched anything besides the inside of her mouth. Even her lips. Bra's lips...She looked down to keep the tears hidden. She missed her so much and still couldn't understand why she left.

Her stomach groaned with hunger. He looked up and asked her why she wasn't eating. She obviously couldn't say she wasn't hungry...
"Because I miss my girlfriend." She said bluntly, trying to scare him off.

"Where is she?" He asked, interested oddly enough to her.

"I don't know..." She frowned.

"Well if you find her you should bring her over some time..I got a video camera, could be fun..." He smirked.

Her jaw dropped. "YOU ASSHOLE!" She got up to leave, and as she turned she hit the ground.

Looking up into a familiar, yet long gone face tears of happiness fled from her eyes. Bra reached her hand down and helped Marron up, hugging her tightly. "You should watch where your going.." She smiled, losing a tear herself and thinking of the first day they found each other as more then friends when Bra knocked into Marron in her room.

Bra looked over Marron at the man sitting, with a sexual grin.

"You found her.." He grinned.

Bra had heard their conversation with her saiyajin hearing, and knew exactly what he was talking about. Bra walked up to him and looked him over, glaring right into his eyes. Marron tugged at her arm, "Please don't..then you'll be just as bad as him..."
Bra blinked, "You look familiar..." She thought back with her almost perfect memory and tried to place his face. Then it hit her, and made her want to hit him. She grinned and backed up, taking Marrons hand she gave him a wink, "Thanks for the car and the money.."

When they stop and stare - don't worry me
Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head

When they walked out the doors of the club Marron started crying again, hugging Bra. Bra wrapped her arms around her, smiling beyond her control, stroking Marrons soft blonde hair.

"Why'd you leave me?! You have no idea the things Pan said!! It hurt so much, God I missed you!" She hugged her tightly, muttering into Bra's shoulder.

"I left because I knew I couldn't take care of you..but now I can..." She carefully picked up Marron, missing the feeling of her in her arms. She stepped off the ground, and carried Marron through the night air. It wasn't that Marron couldn't fly herself, she could, but both prefered the comfort of being in each others arms and feeling secure.

Bra landed in the middle of a forest, holding Marron's eyes shut gently with her hand. She took Marron into the fair sized cabin. It had 1 bedroom, a kitchen, a living room and 2 bathrooms, since she knew how Marron liked to hog the bathroom and have her time and space.

Marron was so happy tears filled her eyes to the brim and spilled. "How'd you do this?"

Bra shrugged while she hugged her back, "It wasn't easy..and that's why it took so long. I had to get a job to pay people to help with the waterlines and electricity, but I built the home with my own two hands..and I carefully bought everything in here with you in mind. I'm sorry I was gone so long, this is where I was. I was creating our world, where we could live forever. Where we could last and live alone. With no body else, so we can be free..I love you Marron."

Marron hugged her tightly and locked her lips onto Bra's for a few moments, then pulling back, she softly said, "I love you too, Bra".

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault but I want her so much
Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame

End(maybe...)

Note: Thnx for reviewing, I was suprised at them. "fan" was very encouraging, though you didn't have to fret. I'd planned to write well more than 1 chapter to this couple. Most likely more than one fic. Thanks to all that commented, especially Brandon B and Fluffcat. Thnx for the support. -_^
