Hmm. Y'know, I'm considering pairing Kyuu up with either Marron or Bra. What do you think?

Chapter Eleven: Meet The Parents

"You're joking me. Meet her parents?"

"Yeah. If you argue with Videl and she accuses you of wanting to date Pan, then you're gonna end up marrying her."

"What?"

"It's a psychic thing all the over protective mother's develop. ChiChi said Videl was going to marry Gohan, and though she protested like hell at first, look where she and Gohan are now!"

"I don't even know who these people are..."

"Look," Bra groaned, giving him a 'why are you retarded' stare, "Videl and Gohan are Pan's parents. ChiChi is her grandmother on her father's side."

Kyuu blanched, rubbing the back of his head due to the awkward atmosphere. This weird child named named after a certain item of clothing he didn't want to think about (ironically her brother was named after something along the same lines. Would some recurring theme pop up?) was worse than Pan. She bugged him constantly, invading his privacy and demanding he answer VERY personal questions ("Hey! When you think of my name and look at me, just what are you thinking?!" He'd blinked to that, unwilling to voice his thoughts. They weren't dirty, it was just that he didn't want to tell her he considered her parents insane with an unhealthy obsession for certain pieces of clothing. Of course, she somehow took his silence as "I really want you" and labelled him a pervert. He'd been scared by Pan, but actually getting hit by an enraged female saiyan was something he'd like not to remember, but, aching, all of his body plainly told him that "No, you're not going to forget").

"Alright. Why do I have to meet them?" he wondered aloud, fixing her with a confused look.

In response, Bra absolutely beamed. And by that he was serious. She friggin' blinded him with her pearly teeth smile.

"Well..."

Judging from her tone, he knew he was a goner.

Though it was a lose lose situation, it was better to live, so he figured he'd have to oblige. Stupid Saiyan females and their uber mental AND psyhical power.

"Your nephew is salivating on me," Trunks explained, grimacing.

The boy made a gurgling sound and tipped his head back, flashing Trunks a gapless smile. The aforementioned blanched.

"Oh don't worry too much," Kanosaki said absentmindedly. She was far too distracted by the daunting task of wringing their plan and Aiko's earlier meal free of...stuff. "He just wants to eat you."

On cue, the boy began chomping on Trunks' fingers.

"GAAAAAAAAAAH!" The lavender headed boy hopped to his feet, shaking his arm desperately. But that buggering child would just.not.let.go. "I'M BEING EATEN! STOP YOUR NEPHEW! GIVE HIM SOME MILK OR WHATEVER!"

She half shrugged.

"Nah. I'll just retrieve you from his stomach later."

"WHHHHHHHHHHHA?!"

After the logic that "No, Trunks happens to be partly human, not a piece of cloth that you're dealing with at the moment" applied itself to her brain, she took action and removed Aiko from Trunks' hand.

How?

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! THAT HURT AUNT AIKO!"

By walloping him on the head, of course.

"Sorry. He's teething."

"STILL?! ON HUMANS!"

"Well, you're only half, so-"

"That's not the point!"

With a heavy sigh, Trunks fell onto his backside, focusing his eyes on the sky. It was an odd colour...

"Hey, Trunks?"

"Ya?" he replied lazily, taking in the eerily intriguing sights bestowed upon.

"...You're head of Capsule Corporation, right?"

"Yeah..." he muttered distractedly, mind becoming lost as he watched the rolling dark abyss known as the night sky.

A smirk began forming on Kanosaki's lips.

"You need to find your true love, right?"

"Yeah..."

"And Hasuura..."

"Yeah..."

"Is not who you love..."

"Yeah..."

"In fact," Kanosaki was grinning sardonically now, thanking her hypnostic talents, "you're really in love with-!"

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah? Who the hell is-oh..."

Aiko was becoming reacquainted with Trunks' hand.

With a resigned sigh, Kanosaki snapped her fingers, and the odd inky black of the night was swallowed up within moments, swallowed by a vibrant orange.

Obviously, if they wanted to make any progress, they'd have to stop at the sweet shop first.

"Where is Trunks anyway?" Pan queried, glancing around quite nervously.

From behind, Bra giggled.

Pan shot her a look. "Care to share your inside joke?"

"You're really worried Pan," Marron pointed out with humor in her voice.

With pink staining her cheeks slightly, Pan turned away, folding her arms over her chest. She was hoping they hadn't noted the red over her skin. They probably had though. Damned pale skin.

"What? Is it a crime to care nowadays?" she said haughtily.

"Apparently," Kyuu agreed in a similar tone. "It seems blackmail isn't though." His eyes drifted towards Bra, who merely smiled cheerily. Pan and Marron caught this, and however confused it made them, they kept their silence.

"Right...well, me and Bra had better be off!" Marron exclaimed, grabbing the protesting girl's arm. Before Pan or Kyuu could say anything, they were off at inhuman speeds. Pan blinked. If Bra hadn't wanted to go, how in the hell did Marron overpower her and run off so fast?

'I wonder about her sometimes...' Her thought process was cut off by a large hand pressing down on her head. It felt odd to have someone actually touching her hair, as opposed to her bandanna. She scowled at the fact Kyuu's hand practically covered her whole head and then a bit more.

"Are you ready to introduce me?"

"Yeah. But..." Pan's scowl softened into an expectant frown, "you have to tell me what your agenda is. TONIGHT."

"Ok midget," he said happily.

She promptly tossed him into her house.

"Urh...who are you?" Gohan asked anxiously. There as a hint of something else in his voice too, which made Kyuu shiver, accompanied by the slight edge in Pan's father's eyes.

"Gohan, calm down before you start shooting lasers out of your eyes and melt the poor boy," Videl laughed, placing a comforting hand on her husband's shoulder. His features tensed.

"Well, I just don't think it's good for Pan to be bringing home boy's and stuff. It's..."

"Dad," Pan was unsure whether she should be laughing along with her mother or being annoyed. She decided on the latter, "I'll have you know I can take care of myself. Besides," now was when she allowed the former, "it's not like I-"

"I'm just her boyfriend sir," Kyuu bit out, inwardly twitching. "No need to worry."
