Denkaku | Fanfic Realm: To Kaasan: With Love

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball and the song A Song for Mama is by Boyz II Men from the Soul Food soundtrack.

Note: My first real song fic and just in time for Mother's Day! I was listening to it yesterday and it just inspired me because I think it fits perfectly. The lyrics are italicized and anything between < > is a flashback.

To Kaasan: With Love

You taught me everything
And everything you’ve given me
I always keep it inside
You’re the driving force in my life, yeah

Trunks and Bra were whispering about something in the living room and when Bulma entered the promptly went silent.

"What are you kids up to?" she asked suspiciously.

"Nothing Kaasan," they said in unison, all the while giving her their best innocent looks.

Bulma sighed and watched them as they left the room. She wondered what she would do today. There was nothing good on television and all she ever did was watch it, cook, clean, and the like. She really felt unappreciated.

There isn’t anything
Or anyone that I can be
And it just wouldn’t feel right
If I didn’t have you by my side

Vegeta walked into the room with a hand behind his back. Bulma gave him a funny look until she saw that his hand held a beautiful bouquet of red roses.

"Oh Vegeta! They're wonderful!" She took them from him.

He smiled and leaned forward to whisper in her ear, "Thank you for being a good mother to our children."

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down you were always there to comfort me

Goku was off training Ubuu again, like he always was nowadays. Her children were all grown up and didn't need her anymore. It was times like these that made her feel lonely and the house feel empty. She heard a soft knock on the door and moved to answer it.

"Goku!"

"Happy Mothers Day ChiChi. I'm sorry I'm such a terrible husband to you."

"Oh Goku," ChiChi laughed and hugged him with all of her might. Even after all these years he still surprised her.

And no one else can be what you have been to me
You’ll always be, you will always will be the girl
In my life for all time

"Kaasan, I made this for you." Pan handed her mother a card. "I also bought you some of your favorite perfume!"

"You did?" Videl was shocked. That perfume cost a lot of money.

"Iie. We both did." Gohan gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you Kaasan," Pan hugged her.

Videl choked back tears. He family could be the best sometimes.

Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin’ you is like food to my soul

"Hi Mama."

Juuhachi-gou looked up from the grocery list that she was writing. "Oh hi Marron."

"How are you doing today?"

"Fine."

"You know what? I can go shopping for you if you want." she took the now finished list from her hand.

"Would you? That's great. Arigatou." Juuhachi-gou stood and hugged her.

You’re always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from wrong
Yes you did

Trunks led Bulma to the doors of a french restaurant. Bra and Vegeta was not too far behind. "All right, you can open you eyes now."

She did and she gasped. They had rented a private room and it was decorated very nicely. A large banner hung on the wall that said, "We love you Bulma! You're the #1 Mom!"

"This is wonderful! Thank you!" she hugged each one in turn.

"That's not all." Vegeta snapped his fingers and a violinist appeared. He began to play her favorite song.

"Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near..." Bulma sang softly along with him.

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin’ me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on

ChiChi and Goku returned home from the movies to a darkened house, softly lit by candles. ChiChi was curious, but Goku just smiled. He knew who had planned this.

"Happy Mothers Day Kaasan." Goten stepped from the shadows and embraced her.

"Did you cook all of this?" There was chicken curry with rolls, mashed potatoes, and green beans.

"Yes and I didn't even burn the house down!" They all laugh. "Gohan sends his love."

ChiChi looked to the two chairs seated at the table.

"Oh no! I won't be joining you. I thought that you and Tousan needed some time alone. Besides, I ate earlier."

There were so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything

Bulma gives her mother a box of her favorite candy, chocolate cherries.. As she hugs her, she remembers how she was afraid to tell anybody about what happened between her and Vegeta all those years ago.

<It's alright Bulma. I knew all along. Just remember, I will always love you no matter what you decide.>

Bulma smiles and says to her mother softly. "Thank you for everything."

And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You’ll always be
You will always be the girl in my life

"I also want to tell you that Trunks and I are getting married!" Juuhachi-gou hugged her daughter as does Krillin.

"That's fantastic! Trunks is perfect for you."

"My little girl's growing up so fast!" Krillin wipes away an imaginary tear.

"I would like it if you helped me to plan the wedding and pick my dress Kaasan. I would mean a lot to me. Will you do it?"

"Of course! I would love to!"
