#And Saiyo fears losing her adoptive family and being given away

☆ anonymous ☆ — *BUST DOWN DOOR* DEEPEST FEARS. FUTURE TRUNKS, GOHAN AND SAIYO, GO!

"...I mean, some of my deepest fears have already come to pass, but I guess the newest one is not being able to protect this timeline or the people I care about here."

Could he? Especially after he failed the last time? He'd be lying if those thoughts hadn't swam through his head over and over, constantly barraged with them day in and day out. Losing his new home? The family and friends he had here? Again? Gods, just the idea cause an icy dread to grip at his heart.

No, he can't lose them all again. Not again. NEVER again.

"I can't...not again...I'll fight as hard as I have to and get as strong as I need to to make sure it NEVER comes to pass. I will NOT fail this time."

"I mean, sounds a little cliché I guess, but not being strong enough to protect my family and friends. Letting them down when they need me the most and disappointing them."

While he could admit that he wasn't a fighter — he never liked fighting, it was his least favorite thing in the world. The pounding of his heart in his ears, the tension in his muscles, the taste and smell of blood, the vibrations of each impact. He hated it. Yet, he knew he had so much potential and so much power he hadn't explored yet...he couldn't waste that by being passive.

Even if he hated it, he wasn't about to ignore when he needed to step in and fight. Not when others needed him. It's why he trained when he could and kept it up. He had to for those he loved.

"I'm...not a fighter, but that doesn't mean I won't step-up when my friends and family need me to. I have to be strong enough to protect them."

"...Mommy and Daddy not wanting me anymore."

It was a thought she had so many times. She absolutely loved and adored her adopted family — she loved her parents so much and her siblings were her best friends in the whole wide world. They were the ONLY family she had ever known after all, so the thought that one day she'd do something to make them give her away or not want her anymore? It frightened her.

As silly as it was, she couldn't help think that sometimes. Would they ever not want her? Was she too much trouble for them? Frown forming and looking upset.

"I...don't want to lose my family ever...not my mommy or daddy or brothers, I don't want to lose them."
