Chapter 11. COMMITMENTS

One week later.

Bra had told Kenzao about her heritage, he didn't complained, he was happy to stay alive. She told him about the test her father had put him in, to know if he was worthy. He didn't like it but understood, Bra was, after all, a princess, a real princess of a race almost extinct.

She wasn't interested in fights or develop her sayan skills. They decided to announce their engagement. The next two weeks they had a really hard time fixing the preparatives, Bra had to do about 15 lists about guests, food, drinks, table clothing, garments, decoration, music, dresses and accessories for her, stylist, etc.

She never went to visit Pan again, she called her to invite her, even when she knew she wouldn't go, she was working and studying hard, just like her brother Trunks used to.

Umiko didn't like the idea of Goten carrying Bra for so long, even when they were kind of friends, even when Bra was almost engaged, she couldn't help but feel jealousy. Goten always seem to have a good commentary about her and she couldn't deny Bra was a beautiful girl.

Pan's Life.

17 ago 799. Her third year in College! She would finished this year and in one more year she could get back to Japan. Bra's engagement party was going to start in about two hours. She was hurt, what happened to all her friends, they didn't show any interest unless they needed to talk about their problems. Why would she leave her work when they couldn't even try to visit her? That's why she had asked Bra to come and talk to her.

Well Goten was still in contact. But Trunks and Bra... that was it, the moment Trunks moved out of C.C. the moment he had forgotten about their calls... the moment Bra had a serious boyfriend she forgot about her too... she didn't even want to see them. She took a glance at the clock, she had to hurry, her classes were going to start in a few minutes. She headed to Jap's Dojo.

Pete (her boss) introduced her to the new student. Max Adams, she will be teaching him, they shook hands and she began explaining to him the kind of clothes and practice requested to study Martial Arts. He was gorgeous, black short hair with and exact replica of Trunks hair style, deep blue eyes with thick and long lashes, thick and arch brows, small nose and those beautiful cerulean eyes... Fuck!! Even in her work "he" was present. Max had been looking at her from toes to head and smiling briefly at her while she explained all the Dojo's stuff.

Trunks Life.

When Trunks came home, he felt a strange people's Ki inside of his house. At first he thought it could be perpetrators, but there was a lot of people inside, he could tell for the quantity of weak's Kis all over the place. He sensed Hiyori's Ki but she wasn't stressed. She had heard him and hurry up to open the door.

-Hiyori opened the door and kissed him softly on the lips "Surprise!! We have a party!"

-Trunks breathed in deeply "This has to be a joke"

-"No honey, I told you I had planned a surprise for you" she brought her finger to his lips caressing his mouth

-Trunks grabbed her hand with his and stood there looking at her "What? You call this a surprise? What for?" He asked confused.

-Hiyori raised her voice and stepped away from him "I can't believe you forgot! This is our second month anniversary living together"

-"WHAT?" His mouth hanging slightly open and a look of confusion in his face

-Hiyori eyed him with anger "Didn't you like it?"

-Trunks sighed trying to hold back his anger and bad mood. "You know I hate social life honey... I'm tired"

-"But this is a special party"

-Trunks blew his bangs out of his face getting impatient "I don't want these people around here"

-"What? Aren't you happy with me?"

-"Of course I'm happy" he said approaching. "It's just that I'm tired and I'm sick of all those social events, I don't need one at home." He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Just make up something, o.k.?"

-"Of course not! We have a status, I can't dismiss my guests, I would appeared in newspaper's first edition by tomorrow morning!" She said stubbornly

-Trunks tried to talk to her but she was not it the mood to talk, he stood in front of her thinking what to say "Look honey"

-Hiyori threw her hands into the air "No! You should be worried about that too! We are rich and famous! The Press would bite our a..."

-Trunks cut her off growling "The press don't need to know"

-Hiyori chuckled with sarcasm, her voice raising with anger "What? I invited the Press Trunks!"

-Trunks raised his brow in confusion and asked her "What? Why did you do that?"

-"I told you it was a surprise"

-Trunks shouted raising his Ki and sending shivers down her spine "You know I don't like this stuff, dismiss them!"

-Hiyori shrugged and stepped closer to him crossing her arms and looking at him in a very childish way "NO!"

-"NO? He asked her in shock grabbing her shoulders

-Hiyori stood and pushed him away "No, this is my house honey and I'd never dismiss a guest"

-Trunks was at a loss of words. ("Did she just told me this was her house?") something about the way she was looking at him told him this was not a joke or a challenge, this was her real self and folding his arms on his chest he told her furiously "How can you take advantage of the place we are living in? You were the one who wanted me to live here, I didn't thought you'd be worry about to whom belong this house!"

-Hiyori realized what she had just said and regretted it almost immediately but it was too late to change the meaning of her words, she just raised a hand and put in his shoulder playing with his jacket "And I don't but"

-Trunks cut her off, grabbing her hand he pushed it away releasing her grip on his jacket "You just said it!"

-Hiyori stepped closer to him trying to wrap her arms around him "Just when it's linked to decisions"

-"Decisions has to be discussed Hiyori" He said stepping back

-"well... we can't dismiss our guests, you know that even your mother would agree with me"

-Trunks open his eyes widely and asked her "Even-my-mother?" What do you mean?"

-Hiyori turned around trying to change the subject "Umh... nothing"

-Trunks grabbed her arm pulling her close "Look I'm not in the mood for this... let's just go somewhere else, o.k.?"

-"No! Look at me... I bought this beautiful dress and shoes, I went to the beauty saloon, all this work just for nothing?" She said pointing at her strapless sequined minidress.

-Trunks bent down and kissed her lips "I thought you wanted to look pretty for me" He trailed off looking at the way the dress hugged her figure tightly and staring at the open back of her dress

-Hiyori stepped closer to him, brushing her lips on his neck and tracing her finger along his jaw "yes but, you know... I have an image to keep"

-Trunks muttered "so?" his impatience taking over him, he wanted to go to somewhere else and enjoyed her company.

-Hiyori smiled softly "I ordered a special banquet"

Hiyori dragged him inside, he slapped himself mentally feeling she had played with him to have her way. Trunks frowned and stepped into the house, the photographers immediately surrounded him and took some pictures, he excused himself after the dinner and walked upstairs.

He rolled up the sleeves of his patterned silk shirt and climbed on the bed laying on his back. He was really mad with her... he didn't want to wait for her and went to sleep, he frowned and cursed under his breath after a while... the music was loud and the place was really noisy... he could tolerate the sound if he were in a club, but definitely not when he had to sleep, tomorrow would be a terrible day... a lot of meeting and paper work to finished, besides the presentation of a new project. He decided to go to C.C.

When he arrived his father was in the kitchen, he could sense him. He didn't need an argument with him right now and went to sleep.

Next day when he came home he had a fight with Hiyori because he had left, but they worked it out. This had been his first fight since they were living together. Unfortunately their fights and misunderstood kept going on, harder each time and more often.

She hadn't stopped her social life, the press had beginning to speculate about her being alone in the parties. He had been avoiding his father, but every time they were together Vegeta smirked and give him any kind of sarcastic greetings and comments since "How's the married life going?, How's your mate? Happily ever after? To: I can see how good you are" or Oh, even your power level has increased.

He remembered one of those days, one week after the fight with Hiyori.

Flashback

-Vegeta handed him a drink and told him "Boy, how come you didn't tell me you were interested in fights? I could have offered myself if you needed some practice"

-Trunks gulped his drink and said annoyed "I don't want to talk about that"

-Vegeta finished his sip and threw the can headed to the G.R. saying suspiciously "it seems to me that you are more interested in fights than in that stupid feeling called love"

-Trunks folded his arms over his chest and told him "do you want to train

-Vegeta looked up confused "Do you?"

-Trunks nodded his head and said "I think I need to release all this energy"

-"You mean all the negative energy

-Trunks look at him, his Ki rising "How about tonight?"

-Vegeta laughed sarcastically "Avoiding marital obligations brat?"

Trunks was really angry, but he couldn't lie to his father and he said to himself his father had told him what was going to happen if he moved out, so he nodded his head in silent agreement and walked out headed to the G.R.

Vegeta paced in the G.R. until Trunks entered and smirked "It was about time you realized" he trailed off knowing his son would understand.

End of flashback

October 799. 2 months later, she had convinced him to go to a club to celebrate their forth month together. Things had been really good but in the way back home...

-Hiyori said stroking his hair "I'm so happy! We have a beautiful life!"

-Trunks grabbed her hand and kissed it "Yeah... I can't believe we waited so long to live together"

-Hiyori nodded and told him "Well... It was you who wanted to wait"

-"Yes you are right... I'm sorry for that" he said trailing kisses in her hand and smiling

-Hiyori laughed " Don't worry... I suppose it wasn't all your fault, your family and friends didn't help us that much"

-"Why do you say it?"

-"Oh Trunks I know they didn't like me... I'm a lady and they are always so worried about those stupid fights"

-Trunks froze at her words, but after a second he thought she was just joking and dismissed his previous thought returning his eyes to the road "Hey... My mom is a lady too and she likes fights"

-Hiyori said distractedly "Well... she is a famous genius and very very rich that's why she is so eccentric"

-Trunks chuckled "Yeah"

-"But I really don't understand how she manages to live with your father, I have read articles about your family and in all of them they write about him being a really aggressive man and... antisocial"

-"That's true... but my mom loves him and besides he is an honorable man and the best fighter"

-"Arrgh... I don't know what's so great to be a fighter" she raised an eye brow in sarcasm

-Trunks hide his shock and answered her "I'm a fighter too"

-Hiyori laughed amused "Hah hah hah No honey, you are a businessman, you have skills fighting, but I hope you stop liking those eccentricities... you have brains you can't be a fighter"

-Trunks stared at her in shock "Seriously I'm a fighter and I like to fight, brains and fights can coexist you know, my father is pretty smart too"

-Hiyori had to raise her hands to cover her mouth, she couldn't control her laughs "God no! How can you say that? Fighters are like wild animals, of course you are the exception"

-Trunks was getting angry for her lasts comments."What's so odd to be a fighter? Everyone of my family and friends fights... People seems to be pretty enthusiastic about watching our fights in every tournament"

-"Oh sweetheart... that's because you are the sponsors... besides they tell you that because you are rich and handsome and it's kind of... funny to watch you fighting. The press is always fine with this because they always get a first plane with information about your family."

-Trunks cleared his throat, he was feeling a knot of anger stuck in his throat "That's what you think?"

-Hiyori was not really surprised at his reaction, she knew he would react this way, but sooner or later he had to know what she wanted from him and what he was not supposed to do and that including fights "Yes, it's the true"

-The steering wheel almost broke under his grip, he didn't turned around and asked her lowly "and that's how you feel about it too?"

-"Yes, honey, I'm sorry, but I have to be honest, don't you think? Like I told you... just because your family and friends fights it doesn't mean you have to fight, you have me"

-Trunks stopped the car pushing the brakes and parking in one of the streets he held the steering wheel and turned to look at her "I know but" he trailed off, it would be better if he let her spit out all the bottle up things she was thinking and feeling about it.

-Hiyori didn't notice the car was parked "that's why you would have to start thinking about changing your small circle of friends because they are not good for you, they drain your energy about important things as social gatherings"

-Trunks was now very angry and disappointed, he was not planning to drive to the apartment until certain things were clarified "They are not good for me? Small circle?"

-"Yeah, you have a really small circle of friends... you have to enlarge that circle with important people with style and social status"

-Trunks replied arrogantly "I won't change or enlarge my circle of friends! They are worthy and some of them are famous too, to your concern!"

-Hiyori inquired mockingly "who? The granddaughter of Mr. Satan? Or the Son of that famous fighter? Come on"

-Trunks stared at her in shock"..."

-Hiyori reach out for his hands but he rejected her "I have to recognize that Mr. Satan is famous and rich and popular, high class, but his granddaughter is tomboyish... she never dress up as she would having her status, she is a fighter too and besides... she is a kid"

-Trunks glared at her and replied "She is not a kid and I don't like you to talk about her that way. She is my friend too"

-Hiyori grabbed his hands forcefully and held them close to her chest "You have to think in our future... what are you going to do the day we have a child ehh? You surely won't raise him as a fighter"

-Trunks look at her completely shocked but his pride was hurt and his Ki raised again, grabbing her hands he placed them on her lap and crossed his arms to reply "Well, that day if he likes to fight he will do it and I will allow him to, in fact I will teach him because he has to learn how to protect himself and his family."

-Hiyori started to argue again "Oh no... you have to be kidding, I won't let you do that! How can you believe I'd like my son to become a freak?"

-Trunks huffed and folded his arms "A freak?"

-"Listen honey.. I like you to be strong, but sincerely... your training is weird it makes your body rough and I sometimes can feel your strength you look weird, I have been wondering if that is going to disappear"

-"What are you talking about?"

-"you know the golden light in your body, your eyes. You do remember that night, don't you?"

-"Umhh... yes I do" answered Trunks looking at the steering wheel

-"Well I hope that glowing disappear, because it's kind of weird"

-Trunks stammered afraid of her reaction "I... I hadn't show that glow lately, you know it was just two times and I was kind of drunk"

-"That's good, because I was starting to think you had to go to the doctor to run some tests, you know how important is for me your wealth and besides I still wondering why your body glowed that way" Hiyori trailed off wanting to hear an appropriate answer from him.

-"I told you it was sweat, the moonlight, we were drunk and besides I had trained a lot"

-"I hope so because I want healthy kids and you know that. The press will eat us alive and if it shows again maybe something's wrong with you" She stated.

Trunks was hurt. He couldn't believe she wouldn't accepted him if he kept fighting or if his body glowed once in a while a little when they made love.

Trunks P.O.V.

And what if I transform? What is she going to say? I can't keep that from her for so long... sooner or later she would have to know. I can't believe she wouldn't accepted our kids... what is this all about? Maybe she is acting like this because she doesn't know and maybe she would understand if I tell her. whom I'm trying to fool! She wouldn't.

-"Did you hear me?" Hiyori asked putting her hands over his chest

-Trunks placed his hands on her shoulders and looked at her sadly "Oh... sorry... Yes"

-Hiyori pushed him and asked him completely shocked "Yes? How could you get involved with me if you wer..."

-Trunks grabbed her hands before she pulled them away and holding them in his he replied "NO! I meant yes, I've heard you"

-Hiyori stared into his eyes, embarrassed "Oh, Sorry honey"

He parked his car in the front yard, he wasn't in the mood to be romantic... not after she had talk to him that way and not after he had realized she would never accepted him for what he was.

Vegeta didn't want to assist to the party, but Bra started crying and told him that she really loved him and besides she didn't have a better choice... O.K. He wasn't a fighter but he was smart and confident and there wasn't any sayan male remained to choose. Vegeta ended assisting but stood in a corner as usually. They set up a date for the wedding, it would be in December, exactly 3 months after the party. They wouldn't want to wait anymore. Vegeta cursed his luck. He will have not a worthy heir, his blood would be diminished more than it was right now, any of the chosen mates of his son and daughter weren't even fighters, weak and unworthy... at least Kakarott's Brat had chosen strong earthlings, well, at list Gohan.

The next weeks Pan had almost forgotten about their friends whole situation. She had started to teach Max, but he suddenly decided to change his class time, it was now, the last hour attended by Pan, after two weeks he started to drive her home and occasionally they went clubbing after class, they would stopped not even to change, they had started showering at the Dojo's and changing into their party attire there. They were drowning closer each day.

Two moths and a half after the engagement party of Bra, they had started formally dating and became a couple. Pan was enjoying dating Max. He was sweet and gorgeous, he had had a boyfriend before Max, but he had been just scared for two weeks when he noticed her strength, and it all ended when he had started dating another woman and she caught them. Of course she had notice his attitude's change, he was drawing apart and had been avoiding to kiss her or hold her.

The relation ship had ended in bad terms. She had been very angry, this had been her love life story. Every boy that dares to come near to her always left her when they watch her strength. But now all was different, Max wasn't scared, he knew she was stronger than him and a great fighter and he keeps still being kind to her.

The first time Max deepened their kisses she had been a little afraid, she couldn't gave in the kiss because she had been to worry to not control her strength, in fact, every time they had kissed she had been aware of her strength and she had been getting tired of this control. She really liked him, but she had beginning to wonder how much time it will take her to control her strength. She didn't really know how to control in this kind of situations.

Preparatives.

The wedding was going to be in just one week and Bra couldn't wait to walk to the aisle in her beautiful dress. Bulma was paying for the wedding, all the press had been invited. Bulma was simply delighted to be helping her only daughter to made the arrangements. Videl and Milk as always, helping her with some stuff. Milk and Videl were choosing the food for Bra to taste it.

When Bra had read all the food selected she growled lowly trying to make a decision. She had always been so picky but this time she had to think about all the invited people. Bulma had overdone this time, she had announced the wedding to the press and had invited all the directors, and heads of C.C, the main investors and some big clients of all around the world.

She had planned a big fancy wedding, with beautiful and expensive invitations. Vegeta didn't complained, he had thought all of this was ridiculous, but respected the party, Bulma had arranged the proper party to a princess, in fact, Bra was a sayan princess, she deserved the best.

She had a beautiful dress, shoes and accessories. Her fiancee was a little ashamed, he was rich, but not even in a dream he could afford all this money in his wedding. In top of this, the "Prince" had been spiting out all his venom about the wedding. He really hated him, alien or not. He was a fucking bastard ruining all the excitement, but he was going to be his father in law... disgusting. Why on Earth had he chosen an alien bride. When Bra had started complaining about his place, he just had to remind her that he was not going to live at C.C. and she would had to accept it, he was worried about her life style, she used to live as a princess, and even she had a lot of saving in her personal account, he wouldn't allow her to used it for his house.

They had some fights about it until Bra agreed with him.

Pan had chosen a beautiful dress. Max had agreed to go to the wedding, she had to warn her mother, she could help her to keep her father calmed about him. Gohan's first reaction would be to rip him in two, to fly over there and dragged him to Japan to beat the shit out of him and let him live as a present for Vegeta.

Vegeta had noticed his anger and asked him about it. Gohan couldn't help it, he knew Vegeta was an asshole but he had just passed for something similar.

When Vegeta knew what was happening, he felt almost as angry as Gohan, Pan was a great warrior with her sayan blood running through her veins overpowering her earth blood, she deserved better.

All the ice Gohan felt for so many years through Vegeta, melted when the two of them had been talking about all the kinds of torture they could inflict to Pan's and Bra's boyfriends, for Vegeta it was too late, but Pan ...

They had decided to act as normally as they could, just to get to know him. Gohan had asked Piccolo but he always was impartial and he didn't need that right now.

Piccolo had told him to cool down, he knew something but he would never tell him about it if he didn't want to, then was when he thought about Vegeta.

Pan knew her father and knew Vegeta, he had been her Sensei after all, and she was not going to allow them to come nearly to Max. She had been planning to stay as far as she could from those sayans, maybe a short trip. That was it! She would go to the wedding and came back the next day, she hated the sayan possessiveness, she couldn't believe how Bra had dare to do what she did.

Bra had flied to her place and had recruited her to a mind blowing shopping for three days, choosing all kind of honey moon attires, she had ushered into the honeymooner store and she had even convinced her to buy some bold clothes for herself. They glared at each other for a while until Pan sighed in defeat and try those really bold and shameless outfits, but Bra was right after all, maybe she could used them some time. She helped her to chose the proper dress for her wedding.

After a long time talk Bra had finally drifted into a restless sleep, Pan had been tired of all this rush, Bra had been very eager to go shopping and Pan was just tired of try every outfit Bra had suggested, she even grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside of the store before she could answer or protest.

Bra knew something was going on between Gohan and her dad, those continuous sparring and talks and warned Pan. They had made a plan to keep Max safe. They knew that Gohan and Vegeta were not going to make another mistake (as they called it) letting Pan having her way with Max. Bra had given the first step fooling all, and this was a "disadvantage" for Pan.

They arrived to Japan International Airport early and decided to find a hotel room for Max. When he signed in, she left the room and went to her parent's house. This was going to be a hell time when even people like Vegeta and her dad had decided to join forces and efforts.

She didn't say a word about Max. They didn't even knew who he was or if he had flied with her to Japan. They had agreed to meet at the temple.
