Forbidden

Chapter Three

Pan awoke in the arms of a naked Vegeta to find herself equally naked, she smiled and snuggled closer to her prince. She examined all the scars on his body, tracing them with her finger, imprinting every one of them in her mind. Her poor prince had been alone all his life and gone through so much. She kissed his shoulder and closed her eyes and listened to the steady beat of his heart. She had never thought she would get to be with her prince, or that her prince would ever return her feelings.

He had watched as she traced the scars on his chest and stomach, he studied the look in her eyes as she did this and in them found love. He watched as she kissed his shoulder and closed her eyes once again, he too closed his eyes and just listened to the rain beat down on the roof of the cabin. It was still raining although it was already morning, that night was one he would remember forever. It was the night he finally let his pride go and loved this woman in his arms with all he ever had, he opened his eyes and looked down at her once more. Why had she chosen him? She had so much to choose from yet here she was, by his side, in his arms.

The door to the cabin flew open and Gohan walked in, "is Pan..." he stopped as he saw his little girl naked in the arms of Vegeta. His temper flew and he stomped over to them and ripped Pan from Vegeta, throwing her to the floor he took hold of Vegeta's arm and threw him out of the bed. "What do you think you're doing with my daughter?" yelled the angery Gohan.

Vegeta wasn't given a chance to say anything as he was punched in the face and sent flying through the wall of his cabin out into the rain. He stood and wiped the blood from his mouth only to be kicked and sent flying once more, he stood once again and faced the enraged Gohan. As the half saiyan flew at him he disappeared a second before Gohan's punch hit him and punched him in the back sending him into the mud.

Gohan got up and turned super saiyan, Vegeta followed suit but wasn't prepared for what happened next. Gohan blurred out of sight and then reappeared, a ki ball in his hand he sent it right at Vegeta's face. Distracted by the blast Gohan took that moment to power up a kamehameha blast and sent it at the prince.

"VEGETA!" screamed Pan as Vegeta was sent to the cabin, crashing into it and wrecking the whole thing. Her father landed beside her and took her by the arm. He then flew off, dragging her behind him. She cried and held the sheet to her body as her father dragged her back home.

As they got home she was thrown into her room, she sat on the floor crying as her father slammed the door shut. She sat on the floor crying for hours until she finally fell asleep wrapped in Vegeta's sheet.

When she finally awoke it was morning, she stood up and let the sheet fall to the floor, walked over to her bathroom and turned on the shower. She then stepped into the hot water and let it run down her body, she cried there in the shower as well. She knew that was it and she would never see her prince ever again, she would be sent away and come home only on special occasions. She stood under that scalding hot water for over an hour and when she was ready she stepped out and wrapped a towel around her body.

Stepping out of the bathroom into her room, she found her mother sitting on her bed with a tear stained face. She glared at her and walked passed her and to her dresser and pulled out her clothes and walked back into her bathroom to change. She slid on the jeans and her favorite Linkin Park t-shirt, she waited in the bathroom for as long as she could and then stepped out, her mother still sitting on the bed.

"Pan..." her mother started but she didn't let her finish. "Leave me alone and just send me off to what ever place you think is safe! It's not like I care!" she yelled as she stepped towards her window, she opened it and flew out, her mother calling out after her.

She knew if she flew to Vegeta that would just get him in trouble so she just flew to the mountain on which both her and Vegeta used for thinking. As she appoached it her heart fell, she had hoped to find Vegeta at this same spot, it had happened many times, this was where he shared most of his secrets with her. She landed and walked over to the ledge and sat down looking over the surroundings.

A tear slid down her cheek and she wipped it away with the back of her hand. This would probably be her last day here in a while, she would soon be sent off to another place. She knew her father would send her to Krillen and 18, probably in the hopes that their daughter Marron would straighten her out and get her to act more proper towards parents.

By the time she got home her mother had already packed her bags and was loading them into the car, her father angrily took the bags from her mother and threw them in the car. He caught sight of Pan and she was immediately motioned to get into the car. She did as she was told... more like motioned to do and got into the car and sat there waiting for her father to get in and take her to the airport to send her off.

The drive to the airport was a long and silent one, it seemed to take forever. She wondered if Vegeta was okay and if she would ever see him again. She didn't want to leave him the way she did, but she was given no choice, she left, and he would be alone in this world once again.

The car came to a stop and her father got out and opened the trunk and got out the bags. Sitting in the car for a minute more Pan looked at the picture of her on her father's shoulders as a child hanging from the rear view mirror, a tear slid down her cheek and she stepped out and followed her dad into the airport. Walking up to the desk he gave the lady the destination and she typed it up and handed him a ticket, he handed her the bags then turned and gave her the ticket and walked right by her and out the door, without so much as a goodbye.

She walked over to a bench and sat down, she was determined not to let her tears fall but against her will they fell. They streamed down her cheeks, she didn't care anymore, who cared if anyone saw her cry. She put her head in her hands and let the pain consume her. But as she sat there someone pulled her onto their lap, she looked up to see Vegeta, she gasped and wrapped her arms around him and held him close.

"I'm leaving, dad's sending me to Krillen's..." she sobbed into his shoulder. He held her closer and let the people stare at them, they weren't staring because they saw a older guy holding a younger girl, they stared in sympathy at two young people being split. Yes, despite his age he still looked to be around twenty-five or thirthy and she, as a saiyan female, matured faster to look around the age of twenty, she would stay that way now of course but it didn't seem wrong to anyone in the airport.

"You'll be back someday, you'll be grown up and you don't have to listen to your father's words anymore. But until then my saiyan princess... I will wait for you." Her heart skipped a beat and she looked up into his eyes, she was his princess... she was his mate. Her hand reached up to her neck and covered the bite mark he had given her. She then looked at his neck where she had bit him.

The speakers announced her flight and she kissed him fully on the lips, they kissed for as long as they could before she finally had to pull away and leave before she was left. She looked back at him and disappeared behind a door and onto the plane which was heading to New York City.
