| | Wheee, 'tis a story about
Duren! ^w^ Who's Duren exactly? Well...Before Butterfly got together
with Trunks, she actually got together with his brother, Anomen (yeah,
I know, she's a whore xD). In fact, they even got married when they
found out they had a little 'love child'. ^^; But...it didn't really
work out since Butterfly was really in love with Trunks and wanted to
marry him instead. >.> So, obviously they got a divorce. This
little story is talking about the legal custody battle between
them....and how Butterfly lost (most likely it was deemed she was too
'unstable', but then that raises the question of why she's still
allowed to keep Ahzi). Even at this age Duren doesn't really like Ani
and would much prefer to stay with his mother.
I dedicate this little story to senen_goroshi from Gaia, since he's apparently a big Duren fan. xD
Duren sat waiting impatiently in his
uncle's living room, staring intently at the front door as if it would
open at any minute. For a few hours, he had his half-brother, Ahzi,
three years his junior, to keep him company as a play mate, but now the
small four-year-old was snuggled up in his bed. His uncle Trunks,
Ahzi's father, was sitting on the fluffy couch behind him, his bright
blue eyes, the same as the boy's, wandering as he waited also.
Finally, two bright headlights showed through the window as his
mother's car pulled into the driveway, and Duren's young eyes lit up
with excitement. The doorknob slowly turned, the door opened, and
Butterfly walked in, her eyes red and her makeup smeared from crying.
Duren knew then the outcome of the custody battle, and his excitement
turned into utter sadness. It wasn't fair...
"Duren," she said as she kneeled in front of him, "you're going to be
living with your dad from now on. So start packing up your stuff; he'll
be here to get you early in the morning."
The little boy threw his arms around her and began to cry harder than
he ever had before. "I don't want to go with him!" he sobbed. "I want
to stay here, with you and Uncle Trunks and Ahzi....I'll hate it there
with him!"
She placed a pale hand on his head of light blue hair and looked at him
with those piercing emerald eyes of hers. "Don't say that. You don't
know that you'll hate it, and if you go into a situation thinking it'll
be horrible, then it really will be. I know it may not seem like it
now, but this is for the best... Be strong for me, Duren."
He looked at her with the signature blue eyes of his family, tears
still streaming down his face, and sniffled. "Yes, Mother. I'll still
get to see you, won't I? And I can still come over and play with Ahzi?"
Butterfly glanced quickly at her husband and then looked back at the
boy. "You get to come and stay with me once a month, and you can play
with Ahzi then. It won't be so bad." He could tell she didn't really
mean it; they all knew how hard it would be for the boys to be
separated so often. She got up carefully from where she had knelt and
said, "C'mon, 'Little Azure', I'll tell you a story as you get ready
for bed, just like old times."
Duren rubbed away the tears that were on his little face as the
realization struck him that this would be the last story he would ever
hear his mother tell. "Which one?" he asked.
She took his small hands in hers and smiled. "I know! I think I'll tell
you the beautiful story of the lonely angel who found her handsome
prince. That one never gets old."
The end. ^.^
