Yokoso, which means Welcome! I hope you all had an awesome Thanks Giving. Here's, as promised, chapter 9!
Disclaimer: Nothing of DBZ is mine!
The unexpected visitor came in. Pan sunk to her knees. Trunks watched her fall, but he kept glaring at the man. It had to be him. "Why are you here?" he demanded. Trunks looked at Pan for permission to speak. She nodded. "I'm a friend of your daughter's." The man eyed Trunks up and down. He walked closer making Trunks take a step back. "State your name." he asked for. "My name is Son Gohan." Trunks got wide eyed and so did Pan. She stood up slowly and walked up to her father.
"What do you mean, Son?" Gohan sighed and had them all go sit down at Pan's living room chairs. "Panny, I" Pan held a hand in front of him. "I told you to never call me that." She warned. Trunks gulped. "I'm sorry. Pan I think you should know why I never spent any time with you." Trunks was worried. He knew Pan wouldn't hear him out. Pan looked at the ground as if seeking for an answer.
"Speak." Gohan looked like he was getting irritated by his daughter. Trunks nudged Pan and gave her a look that said show some respect. Pan nodded and waited for her father to speak. "I couldn't tell you this when you were younger, and because of me, you took the same path as your father. You ran away, and nothing stopped you. I tried looking everywhere for you." Pan got tears in her eyes, but didn't shed them.
"I knew you would end up somewhere where you can fight, so I thought you were at the tournament. I was right. You can fight pretty well." She smiled, but was confused that he found her. Trunks just kept hearing this. "Ummm if I may sir, but by any chance, are you part Saiyan." Pan gave Trunks a death glare. He winced at her deadly look, but kept his eyes on Gohan. Gohan sighed deeply. "Yes, I am half Saiyan. Pan, you are Saiyan." She didn't want to believe it. "How? Why didn't you tell me?"
Gohan rubbed his eyes. "I couldn't. I left my home with your mother as soon as I found out she was pregnant." Trunks tried to figure out the cause of his actions. *Why leave power?* Pan frowned. "So you didn't want me to be air? Is that it?" she yelled. Gohan stayed silent. "What woman is eligible to be queen of anything here?" Pan shut her eyes and let the tears flow. She tightened her fist.
"You ruined my whole life just because you didn't want me to rule? You didn't have to let me. You could've gotten mother pregnant again but with a son!" Gohan shook his head. "I didn't leave just because of that." Pan stood up, making the chair behind her fall. "So, does that mean I'm air for the throne, or is Goten still the future king?" Gohan sighed frustrated. "My brother is still for air, but if I present myself then you will." Pan cried.
"Well you better not! Goten deserves that position more than I." Both men looked at her. "That's right; I don't want to be queen. I've seen how it is. If you hadn't left, I would have been like Vegeta's stuck up princess!" Trunks looked at her offended. "I'm sorry Trunks, but your sister is a pain." He chuckled.
Pan breathed. "Pan, I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry for what I did. I left for my own selfish reasons." She stopped him. "Tell me what those reasons were." Trunks tried to calm her down. He grabbed her arms and sat her down. She crossed her arms. "Pan, please I beg of you. Don't get upset when I tell you that your mother" She yelled. "What about her?!"
"She forbid me to see you if I were to become king." Trunks was surprised, more than Pan. "What?" Gohan nodded. "She didn't want to rule something that has been changed and fought over for. She wanted to live a normal life."
"What normal life? We were always starving! You always beat her up especially in front of me! I was only 6 years old when you punched me in the face! That is no life!" she said coldly. Gohan felt the pain hit him. "You were wrong to take advantage of both of us. you never spent time with your own daughter, so don't say that you left your royal life to be with me! You are the worst man alive!"
Pan stormed out of the house. She left the two half Saiyans alone thinking of what she had said. As soon as the door slammed, Trunks spoke. "Sir, I'm really sorry"
"No, Prince Trunks, this is my fault. I can't be the man I am to tell her." Trunks heard him out. "When her mother, Videl, got pregnant, I was furious. I didn't want a child especially at the age of 17." Trunks sat quietly.
"My father was proud, but I didn't want to be king with a child already. It was unbearable to me, so I had to leave."
"Why though? Why couldn't you leave Videl, or leave yourself?" Gohan sighed. "I don't know what got over me. I had already mated with Videl, so I couldn't leave her, but Pan was the reason why I hated my life."
Trunks stared at him with no concern. *Why does he hate her so much?* he asked himself. "This doesn't make sense. You left, even though you were still with them?" he nodded. "I didn't want to rule and be a father at the same time. I asked my brother if he wanted to be king, and he was so happy already that I couldn't tell him I was air. I just left and allowed him to be king."
Silence entered the room. The wind blew through the open windows. "Do you blame Pan?" he asked. Gohan looked up. "What?" Trunks stood up and clenched his fists. "Do. You. Blame. Pan?" Gohan stood as well and scowled. "It's her fault I'm in debt with thousands of people! I need money to survive. That's the whole reason I joined that stupid tournament. There was a prize and I had to get it."
Trunks looked to the ground. "You deceived her! You weren't looking for her. You just wanted to make money, so why did you come here to torture her?" he threatened. Gohan sighed deeply. "I thought she would be alone. I wanted to tell her how much she ruined my life. I found her home and saw how much better she was living. I was going to set this house on fire, and let her burn in hear. I was going to shut that room close, but you were there to stop me."
Trunks grew furious. Gohan saw his eyes barely flashing from blue to green. "Why did you really stop?" Gohan hesitated a bit. "You were there! I couldn't risk the Prince's death on my hands! I was already in debt that I they would just kill me! Killing a simple girl wouldn't do much harm!"
Trunks snapped and punched him in the face. He fell to the ground and watched him take off. Trunks went flying, in search of Pan. He had no right to speak of her that way. No father had that right.
*Pan where are you?* he searched through trees. He looked through hidden caves, but didn't find her. After a few minutes, he realized he was in midair.
*Crap! I forgot I'm in Kakarot!* Trunks quickly flew down and walked between crumbled branches. Pan couldn't have made it too far. He tried to sense her Ki, a trick learned by his father. He couldn't sense her. When Trunks moved about 2 steps more, he was tackled to the ground.
He tried to get up, but someone was holding him in a lock. All of a sudden, that person hit him in a series of places and he was paralyzed. Trunks looked to see the person's face, but he was knocked out.
When he woke up, he was in a bed on his back. Trunks sat up and rubbed his aching head. He looked around and saw nothing but darkness. *How long was I asleep?* before he got up, he noticed someone sleeping next to him. Trunks uncovered the person, and almost fell off the bed.
Pan woke up with a start. Trunks grabbed Pan's arm for balance, but they both fell to the floor. Pan looked up at Trunks and blushed. He stared at her with worry. *I'm in for it now.* Pan didn't react the way he expected. She leaned in, and placed a kiss on his warm lips. Trunks didn't move. He was in shock. After a while, Pan moved back, thinking she did something wrong. Before she moved away 2 inches, Trunks kissed her back.
Pan was in shock now, while Trunks kissed her passionately. She leaned in closer and placed her hands through his soft hair. Trunks moved his hands on her sides, sending chills on her back.
She finally pulled away for air. "Trunks I" He silenced her. "Don't apologize." Pan got off of Trunks and helped him up. He carefully walked up to the window and looked outside. He noticed it was freezing because it was snowing outside. "Where are we?" he asked. Pan sat down on the bed, still blushing from their kiss.
"I think we're out of both kingdoms." Trunks turned to see her. "How did you get us out of Kakarot so fast?" Pan laughed. "You've been asleep for the past 2 days." Trunks nearly fainted. "2 days!?" he asked. Pan nodded. "I knocked you out a bit too hard."
"No kidding." They both laughed. "Why here though?" Pan shrugged. "I was just flying around with a runaway prince on my back and stumbled on a small village." Trunks sat down next to her, adding more to Pan's discomfort. "You could've taken us to Vegeta." Pan blushed harder and stood up. "I'm such an idiot! I completely forgot."
Trunks watched her blame herself. It was amusing to him, but he couldn't help it. "Pan, it's fine. We'll go back once the blizzard takes off." Pan stopped. "What blizzard? It's hardly snowing." Trunks got up and walked over to the window again. "It's the beginning of the storm. Do you want to take the risk now?" Pan sighed in defeat.
Gohan was furious at his so called daughter. When she defeated him at the tournament, he lost all hope at paying his debts. "That ungrateful tramp! She ruined my life!" he yelled as he walked inside his home. "Gohan, are you alright?" Videl asked. "No, your whore of a daughter made me lose the money we needed." Videl became wide eyed. "What did you call her?" Gohan glared at her. "A whore, just like her mother."
Videl teared up in anger. Gohan was never like this even when Pan was home. "You saw Pan? Is she alright?" She asked still enraged by her husband. "She's lucky that she had the prince of Vegeta there, otherwise I would have burned her in her dump of a home." He answered coldly. Videl was surprised, but grateful that her husband didn't harm her. "Where is she now?"
Gohan sat down to eat. "She took off. I was attacked by the prince." He smirked chewing on his meat. "So?" she asked. "That means the Vegetans can be accused of trespassing Kakarot territory, and not only that," he got up and put on his fur coat as he opened the door. Videl waited for him to speak. "This means war has been announced." Gohan slammed the door and flew away. Videl fell to the ground.
The war has already been going on ever since the Saiyans have decided to take over, but now, the war has truly begun.
"Trunks!" she called out. The prince walked up to where the food was being placed. "Where did you get this?" he asked sitting down. Pan growled quietly. "Be grateful I saved your life." Trunks slouched into his chair. "Sorry."
Pan left him alone. She went outside to get some fresh air, but found freezing wind attacking her face. The cold was getting stronger and soon, hail was forming. Pan sighed and walked back inside. She saw Trunks's plate on the chair he was sitting on and rolled her eyes. *That boy needs to learn how to clean.*
She decided to clean after him this one time, but she would have to break his habit soon. Trunks came into the kitchen to find Pan picking up his plate. He mentally slapped himself. "Pan, I'm sorry." Pan smiled. "It's fine. Just don't let it happen again. Got it?" Trunks nodded and walked up to her. Pan froze and watched him come up. He leaned in and placed a kiss on her cold lips.
Pan quickly removed herself from him, and sat down. Trunks was worried. "Are you alright?" Pan looked at the ground. "What's wrong? Did you want to wait?" Pan's head shot up as she blushed deeply at him. Trunks winked at her and sat down. Pan started to get bored and was hoping that Trunks would want to have a spar with her.
"Trunks, would you like to spar?" Trunks watched her turn away. He nodded. "Yes I would." Pan smiled and got up along with Trunks. they went outside, but they immediately ran back in. "I forgot about the cold." Pan admitted. Trunks laughed. "We can spar back at home."
"I'm not going to Vegeta." Trunks looked at her concerned. "Why not? it's safer there, than here." She shrugged. "Yeah, but I just found out that I'm part Saiyan. Don't you think the stuck up king would be highly raged with anger?" Trunks ignored the insult and went to the bedroom to lie down. Pan saw him and leaned against the door frame. "What makes you think my father won't accept you?"
"I'm a Kakarot, Trunks. I doubt the king of Vegeta will want a Kakarot as a daughter, let alone the queen." Trunks turned to his side. "You sure?" Pan nodded and sat on the edge of the bed. Trunks sat up and smiled at her. She noticed his eyes staring at her, so she turned her head to look at him. "What?" Trunks didn't respond, but he did get a smirk across his face. Pan found it weird and was about to stand up, but Trunks grabbed her by the arms and tackled her down to the floor.
Each one tried to pin the other down. Pan kept throwing random punches that Trunks dodged while he laughed. Pan finally managed to push Trunks under her. She looked at him with a glare. He smiled innocently at her. "Don't like me on top?" Pan blushed and growled under her throat. Trunks laughed. Pan shut him up by placing her lips on top of his. Trunks kissed back.
Once Pan felt his hands moving up, she broke the kiss. "No" she stated simply. Trunks groaned. "Why not?" Pan got off him. "I don't feel that it is right for us to"
"Mate?" Pan uncrossed her arms and let them fall slowly. Trunks looked at her, waiting for a response. Pan turned around and watched the snow cover up what was left of the opening from the window. "We have to go." Trunks was startled and followed her to the front door. "Why now?"
"We don't have any other choice. We'll die if we get trapped in here. Who knows when the snow will clear?" Trunks walked outside with her. Pan watched the sun beginning to set and sighed. "We'll have to stop at some point to rest for the night." Trunks said. Pan nodded. "Where to?" she looked up at him. "Anywhere, as long as you're there." Pan blushed but stopped him. "Like I said, no. We are not getting into this. You are a prince. The prince to Vegeta and heir to the throne. I will not marry a man outside of Kakarot."
Trunks got hurt all over. He thought Pan was the one, but it seemed that she felt nothing for him. He put it aside and decided to forget it. *Lust wins once again.* he thought. Pan took out a small piece of paper from her coat. "Hey, where did you get these coats?" Pan ignored him and continued to look for the place she needed to find.
"How did you learn to fly?" Pan jumped and dropped the piece of paper. She glared at him. "Why should I tell you?" Trunks crossed his arms. "This again?" Pan rolled her eyes and started walking South. "Where are we going?"
"The map says it's called, 'Paradise' but I doubt it." Trunks kept to himself. "I apologize that we don't have my horse Tsuki. I had to leave her behind."
"It's fine. We can always fly once it gets too cold." Pan nodded and they continued their walk. They stumbled across many fallen trees and found it weird. There was no one around here, but assumed it was a while back. Pan kept following the map she carried, while Trunks was deep in thought.
*She's a Kakarot and I'm here practically taking orders from her. I'm the prince. She may have been a princess before, but she's nothing now.* Pan somehow felt that Trunks was thinking about her. *What's in his mind? If he's planning something, he's going to sleep with no fire to warm him up.*
The sun finally set and the moon appeared. Pan stopped by a nearby cave and stepped inside. She searched for any wild life, but none was found. She placed fur blankets across the floor and sat down. She found it rather comfy enough to sleep on. Trunks looked around and wandered off into the cave. He found nothing but plain darkness. "Trunks!" he heard Pan call out. He walked back and stared at her. "Yeah?" Pan stood up and handed him a fur pelt that was big and warm. Trunks watched her lay on the small piles of fur she had placed.
She looked up at him. "Aren't you going to sleep?" Trunks cocked in eyebrow at her. "There are not enough blankets to satisfy both of us, so we have to share, or does the prince hate sharing?" she mocked. Trunks groaned and lay down next to her. He covered Pan with his blanket. "It's for you."
"I know, but I can't allow you to freeze." Pan accepted the blanket and placed her own on top of Trunks. He looked at her. "Really?" Pan laughed. "I can't allow you to freeze." She stated in a deep mocking voice. Trunks laughed and rubbed her hair, messing it up. "Hey! Watch it!" she moved Trunks's hands off her and turned around. Trunks lay on his back and fell asleep.
Pan waited for Trunks to fall asleep before she did. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that he was hiding something. Pan kept her guard on.
