Chapter: Friend with benefit's?; I am not a tool.

She started with a small whimper as she shifted slightly. As she opened her eyes, she groaned from the pressure on her lower abdomen. It was hard trying to ignore it last time but the pain was starting to get intolerable. But sadly, there was nothing she's able to do at the meantime.

Through the small crack's in the Curtain's, she could see the skies was slowly lighting up as the Sun was still making it's way into it's rightful place in the sky.

Looking down, she was slightly surprised to see a mess of black hair sprawled out on top of her. She would of thought he would either have rolled over to be at her side, or taken her home, but no. Here he was still in the same place ever since last night.

Reaching up, she gently stroked his hair as her other hand lightly scratched under his chin. The corner's of her mouth curled up in a light smile when he let out a small groan.

"Morning," She said softly, brushing some hair out of his face.

Natsume inhaled deeply before grumbling out a, "Morning,"

Pan glazed up at the ceiling and let out a small sigh escape. "You've must be really tired if you let me stay here the night." She said. But deep down, she knew the real reason why he let her remain there. She knew he wouldn't want to be left alone after last night. It was surprising, yet not. Knowing his type and all. Normally guy's wouldn't want to be around girl's after admitting something (In different word's) like that, they'll think it's a sign of weakness, but she was glad he did. It wasn't a sign of weakness, it would be weak if he just kept in it.

It made her feel special, more important than any other knowing that he's willing to let her in, even though he's being cautious. She couldn't blame him though. He's been hurt in the past, up until now, but she honestly believe she could actually help him in a way other's couldn't.

"Get up and start getting ready,"

He let out another groan as he buried his head in her chest, muttering how early it was.

At that, she could feel the heat raiding through her shirt. She could feel her face heating up as well, knowing full well they was now a rosey pink color.

"Technically it's past 8, and school start's at 9.." She trailed off. When he didn't move, she tugged at his hair lightly. "Come on, I don't wanna go either but I have to,"

"Then stay put," He muttered, snuggling closer to her chest.

"As much as I want to lay here so you can snuggle with my chest," She joked. "I can't."

"Why not?" She almost laughed when his voice turned into a whine.

"Because," She let out a small sigh. "Today I want you to meet my Parent's. I mean Actually met them.. And the twin's, so your going to pick them up during lunch."

He lifted his head up, and stared at her with a slight frown on his face. "Why can't you?"

"Because I got some business to settle with your Cousin." Pan couldn't help but shake her head lightly, breaking eye contact with him to stare at the white ceiling. "God, I can't get use to saying that."

"Don't do anything drastic, Pan."

"Worried about your Cousin?" She teased, poking his cheek.

"No, I'm worried about you. Where ever she is, Trunks is likely to be so I don't want you to be around her for long."

"..Fine, But I hope you know I can take care of myself."

He laid his head back down on her chest, and she wrapped her arm's around his neck. "I don't doubt that, but he is a guy, Pan."

She remained silent as she broke eye contact with him. Guy or not, she could still defend for herself. May'be not Well against him since he Did train more than her, but that didn't matter to her. One day, it'll be the other way around...

"I just hope thing's go right this time.." She sighed. "I'm tired of thing's getting in my way."

"Thank you,"

She locked her eye's with the top of his head in confusion. "For what?"

"For Yesterday..and all the other time's..You stayed by my side..." Even though he muttered those few word's, she still heard every word and it made her smile. She could tell there was more he was trying to say as he buried his head back into her chest and sighed, but the rest of the word's wasn't needed.. As long as he was trying to say it was enough.

She placed a hand on the back of his head and glanced back up at the ceiling. Even though it was a start, he was doing good opening up to her. "Your Welcome," She said softly.

He turned his head to the side, lightly glaring at the wall. "If it wasn't for you, I've would of never met 18.."

"Your Welcome." She repeated.

He leaned up and pressed his lip's on the corner of her mouth, but doing so, she flinched violently under him. He carefully moved to her side and by the new look in his eye's, clearly meant he was pissed.

Seeing his glaze, she sat up and looked down at herself to see a crimson stain on the white shirt. She bit her bottom lip lightly. She didn't know it was this bad..

"What is this?" He questioned, meeting her eye's.

Pan's mouth parted slightly, looking for the right word's to say.

"...Right.. This happened yesterday when Trunks held me captive.. He was making Mariko confess about you pushing her off the building." Pan explained. "Which remind's me, you never fully explained yourself for doing so..Which bring's me back to what Mariko said. She said something about you being mad at her Father..." Pan trailed off. She raised an eyebrow at his expressionless face. "Natsume..."

"It's not Important," He exclaimed, jumping over her.

She glared at his back before trying to follow his movement's but flinched as her hand came to tend to her wound. "If it wasn't so Important, why'd you drop her? You claim she somehow ruined your life, but if she said that her Father is behind all of it, why take it out on her?"

"You won't understand it. Just forget whatever she told you."

Pan slowly rose to her feet and took a step closer to him. "I can't forget if her life is in danger. I made a promise to her that you'll stay away from her, and I'll make sure of that until you stop making her life a living hell."

Natsume suddenly turned around, startling her. He opened his mouth to speak, but it what ever he was about to say, died down. He could feel his hand twitching slightly from the anger that was quickly building up. He knew shouldn't get too worked up when she was still clueless to the whole ordeal. He sighed deeply, he gave her his back once more. "..I'm going to take a shower..." And with that, He walked to his indoor bathroom and slammed the door behind him.

Pan flinched slightly, and glared at the door. "You can't keep it a secret for long, Natsume! I will find out!" She yelled.

"Go ahead and try, you'll just be putting her life at risk!" He called back.

Pan crossed her arm's across her chest as The shower could be heard faintly. She sighed lowly, shaking her head lightly. It seem's as if their problem's would just continue to get much worst. as the problem's seem's to just pile on to the one their dealing with It was bad enough that the group has splitted up, and Bra betraying her..She at least Want Mariko and Natsume to work thing's out since It's seem's that their only two who she could actually trust at the moment, and she didn't need them to get any worse than what they already are.

Slowly making her way toward's the window, she carefully opened it wide. Her eye's falling shut as She breathed in the fresh air. The smell of the the grass as the wind gently kissed her face.

It really didn't feel good having your own best friend do you wrong. But the real question was, Why? Why would she secretly try to hurt her? Did she do Something to get her pissed off at? Was she upset because of the little fight's her and Trunks have? If that was the case, she should know well enough that it's never her to start the problem's between them.

But then again, that wouldn't really make much sense since she didn't bring it up to her whatsoever, so that's out of the question... Could it be that she's still upset about letting Goten know about her little plan of driving him away?

Possibly...

Whether she liked it or not, The plan was going to fail anyway's. Goten may not be the brightest one in the group, was too smart for that.

Pan took noticed that when she first told Bra that the plan slipped, she didn't freak out like she had thought she would.. She didn't know why, But what she did know was that her best friend was out to get her for some strange reason.. She'll just have to corner her during school break and confront her there...

Opening her eye's once more, she slowly levitated off the floor before looking back of her and at the bathroom door.

But right after she tries to fix Natsume's and Mariko's problem..

Turning back, she blasting off into the sky.

She doesn't know what was in stored for her, involving the gang, but she could only hope for the best.

~~~~~~~~n.n

Pan's P.O.V.

I easily slid my window open and carefully climbed through it. I was a bit surprised to find my room vacant. 'They must be taking this giving me a break seriously,'

With a hand gently placed on my lower stomach, I made my way toward's my closet. Pulling open the door's, I grabbed a freshly new uniform before making my way to the bathroom.

With my ruin shirt now discarded on the floor, I looked at myself in the mirror. The cut wasn't deep, but why did it keep bleeding as if it was? It looked as if it was just Now reacting, but it's the aftermath. Getting rid of the rest of my clothes, I hopped into the shower, letting the warm water flow down on my naked form.

I moved back slightly and took a seat on the floor of the shower's, my arm's lightly wrapping around my knee's as I rest my chin on them. To be honest, I was just tired.. Tired of all the drama that's been going on lately. The whole Me and Marron thing been already done. All tie's cut! She had some nerve's taking My phone and going a pond herself to look through it. I mean, what the hell was going on through that thick skull of her's? Could it be that Trunks spoil's her too much? That what she want's, she get's, and when she doesn't, she make's a big deal about it? She claim's she "Want's," to reunite with me, but because she couldn't have her way, she turn thing's upside down. Selfish much? Did she know how many people she's hurting because of her stupidity? Me for sure, her own Boyfriend who's I believe's is getting even more worked up about me with the stuff she's informing him with. Natsume: her own cousin, because Trunks won't leave him alone, him being forced to stay away from me, even though he refuses 'Stubborn bastard.'

I couldn't help but laugh at that. But back on topic, he's getting hurt with all the fight's Trunks' is trying to pick with him just to be near me. It's shocking to see him standing by my side through all of this. You'd would think he wanted nothing to do with me (Him being the typical "Bad Boy,") wanting nothing to do with the typical "Nerd,"

Surprisingly, I don't find myself being a nerd, but I had Bra call me that a few time's back. I kind of doubt that because she's the daughter of the smartest Scientist known to man, and she call's Me a nerd. Funny.

Anyway's, Bra: Because me and her aren't on speaking term's since she was apart of setted me up. Like seriously, I thought we was close, closer than sister's.. She was my best female friend.. How could she do this to me? I'm truly hurt that she did this to me. She was one of the person's that I could rely on. It wasn't like I ever did her wrong to the point where she had to set her up like that, before. And it wasn't as if she was the type to hold any grudge.

Goten..Well I haven't done anything to harm Goten in anyway, 'That I know of..' but he Is still apart of this as he Is being hurt by no other than my so called friend. It's as if everyone that was expected, is turning on their partner's. Why?

Trunks was like my Partner-In-Crime. We shared secret's, shared the good and bad time's together, we comforted the other when either of us was in pain, both physically and mentally. But now it's all gone.. Vanished completely. Trunks being jealous of my new relationship. Now, if it was any of his Other friend's, he wouldn't give a damn about their feeling's, but why when it's between Natsume and I? He want's to act so reckless and not care about his action's, or who he hurt's.. It doesn't matter as long as he just to get his way, right? Talk about an asshole.. He was also another person I could rely on.

And I needed to put a stop to whatever's going on between me and Natsume, meaning the whole touching situation. It wasn't like I like like him or anything. He Definitely didn't see me in that way, so..Why are we doing it? Was it because we was in, " The Moment..?" Moment? I don't even know what, "The Moment," truly mean's! What ever happened to the innocent, Bookworm who never get's in trouble? I've changed..But was it for the better or for the worst, was the question.

And Mariko, I know everything must be hard on her part..but then again, may'be not as she knew Natsume for a while, so I truly believed she knew he has Power's..just like us... But I still need to explain to her of what I am. All thanked to Trunks and showing off..The secret's out.. Like, I knew it was going to come out one way or another, but why in that way? Why did her life had to be in danger for her to see what we are? And speaking of Mariko's life being in danger, I really need to have a serious talk to Natsume.

Wow...Time really fly's when your just sitting and thinking.. Eh, it didn't really matter at this time... I'm in pain, I could move as slow as I want. I reached for the bar of soap and scrubbed my body with it's substance.

I couldn't help but realize my life had a lot of drama in it, more drama then I'm use to. And that wasn't good. I was going to have to change some thing's about that.

The shower wasn't long like how I love's it but I was kind of glad it wasn't as the pain was getting unbearable. Drying myself with the towel before getting dressed.

After heading out of the bathroom, I went to my Parent's room to find them still asleep. Being quiet as I could muster, I went over to kiss my Mother lightly before doing the same to my Father before taking my leave.

Levitating a few inches off the ground, seeing as I didn't have enough time to eat at home, I just grabbed an apple before getting my back pack and heading out.

I flew incredibly slow on my way. Like I said earlier..I'm in pain..what can they do? Expel me? It didn't hurt to take a breather in the sky once in a while, did it? The warm gentle breeze hitting my face made me close eye's and sighed deeply. If only I felt like this everyday... I rolled over a few time's settling with my back facing the ground's. A Sudden of an image suddenly pooped into my mind. A beautiful Meadow.. So peaceful, Isolated, and familiar...

I suddenly had the urge to go there now.

I slowly started to descent closer to the ground, about to change course when a figure suddenly appeared right under me. I wrapped my arm's around his neck as I placed my head on his back. "We should head over to the Meadow.." My voice was lazy, the same thing I was feeling.

"Hn,"

I could easily sense he was still a little upset about this Morning.. Even though I said I should put an end to what we do..I couldn't help but do it once more. I pressed my mouth against the back side of his neck, before laughing lightly as I heard him grunting in response. "Oh lighten up, Natsume."

"I'm not mad."

"I can tell your lying," I said knowingly. How dumb does he think I am? But still, he ignored my comment and continued to fly as at very slow pace. "You know, It wouldn't be too bad letting you fly me to school everyday," I joked.

"Hn."

I grasped his hair and put it in a low pony tail, so his hair wouldn't slap me in her face repeatedly.

"So your going to confront Marron.."

I nodded. "Yep. And also I'm not talking to Bra because she also helped Trunks by lying to me about not knowing where my phone is."

"But why would you even show other people your password?"

"For Emergencies." I said like it was obvious.

"Emergencies?"

"Yes. Say if, A Villain was holding me captive because I video-taped him doing something and tried to send it, but couldn't because he was trying to get it, but I locked it in time, and hid it away somewhere. And Bra would find it and know what happened and know what exactly what I saw."

I could feel him smiling, causing me to laugh. "Okay, that's a stupid example. How would she know where you hid your phone, and if that's the case, why stand there when there's a Villian?"

"You get the idea." I said, waving him off. "And it's not like I told everybody, just the important people in my life."

"You have yet to tell me."

"Well I don't have it at the moment." I shooked her head lightly. "I can't believe I forgot to get it yesterday,"

"Show's how irresponsible you are with your thing's."

"Oh what do you know?"

"More than you,"

I stuck her tongue out at him even though he couldn't see it, and wrapped my arm's tighter around him. "You know, I'm doing more work than you do when it come's to the twin's."

"How so?"

"Well I found out where's the actual location of the foster care so we don't have to meet them at the Mall unplanned, and also found out that they sneak out doing who know's what."

"They sneak out?" I questioned. "But Ayume is too much of an Angel to do that."

"Probably Yui taught her a few thing's." Natsume suggested.

At the mention of her name, I rested her chin on top of his head. "I really want to meet her." I pouted.

"You will. I'm picking them up today, remember. Yuumi said I could take them out, just to not let them stay out too long."

"Yuumi?"

"She's the Granddaughter of the guy who own's the foster care." Answered Natsume.

I nodded lightly. I stared at the cloud's that flew by them as my mind pictured up the twin's. "But serious, Natsume..When are you going to tell me what's going on?" I heard him sigh loudly.

"We've been through this already. It's none of your concern, Pan."

"It is when it come's to my friend's. I promised Mariko that you wouldn't come any where near her if your intention's are to harm her."

"Pan you don't even know her that well."

"I know enough. She's being harassed by you," I stated. "Come on, I would like to at least fix one of the many problem's that's going on." I frowned when I seen the school coming into view. "Hey! I thought we was heading toward's the Meadow."

"I never said that," Natsume pointed out. "And beside's, were leaving during lunch, mind's well stay in the morning."

I was slightly taken back by this. Natsume actually Wanted to stay in school? "What ever happened to the boy who would of given any chance to skip school?"

"Nothing..It's just that I've been a bad influence on you and I need to change that.."

Once again, I was taken back.. I didn't think he was a bad influence on me. I mean, sure, I slowly became a cutter of school, I've became, (Dare I say it..) A Somewhat, "Bad Girl," by being alone with just a guy, kissing him more than once and having two kid's with him.

Cough. Even though their not Really our kid's, but that's not so bad as were actually trying to help them out.

"Plus it was you who got me up. I really wouldn't mind staying in bed today." He added.

I couldn't help but give him a straight face at that comment. Back on topic: I wouldn't trade spending my time with Natsume it for anything in the world. "I don't care.." I spoke softly. "You slowly changed me.."

"Which wasn't a good Idea.." Natsume started.

"But it was.. I'm actually happy.. You was the only one, beside's Mariko, who remained at my side through a lot. You know, I expected Bra to be also but it seem's like that was just a joke, and that actually hurt's. It's like I almost lost most of my respect's for her, but I gain some for you as we grew closer." Great, here I am spilling all the pent up emotion's I was feeling to him. "Well aren't you going to say something?"

It was a few second's before he spoke up. "..I'm actually touched you said that, but still Pan. You don't need to change or do thing's you've never did or not suppose to do just be to next to me..I'm already here and I'm not going anywhere, alright?"

I had to hid my face as I felt my eye's watering.

Once we landed on the vacant roof, he pulled me into a tight embrace, and I can't believe I'm saying this but..I felt more safe in his arm's than Trunks'...

"Stop crying," He muttered into my hair. I felt him lean down and he whispered something that had me throwing my head back and laughing hard. He pulled me closer to his body. Now that had my laughter dying down, I still held on a smile as I stared at him. He dipped his head to whisper something in my ear. I could feel my face heating up greatly. I would Never In my Life do something like that!

"Shut up!" I laughed. He surprised me when he suddenly pressed his mouth onto mine's. At first, I took a step back, but he followed me, holding me closer to his being. Soon, My eye's slowly fell shut as I leaned into him, and I sighed lightly. My heart was still racing inside by chest. Tilting my head to the left, our lip's only moved against each other once before we was interrupted by the door opening.

I was the first to pull apart and looked to see who the intruder was. I could only changed my expression from shocked to worried as I seen it was Goten. He looked between both of us.

"Pan, I don't want you anywhere near Trunks, got it?"

I furrowed my eyebrow's in confusion. "..O-okay..I wasn't planning on it anyway's.."

Goten nodded my way before finally acknowledging Natsume's Present's and turned to walk away. But before he disappeared be hind the door, he turned back. "Next time, Don't be out in the open if you don't want problem's from you know who. Specially if he's wandering around the school pissed." And with that, he let the heavy metal door slam shut behind him, leaving the two friend' once again alone.

I blinked twice.. So he's not going to say anything about the kiss? I'm pretty sure he seen enough to know what were doing but..He's Goten. The same crazy Uncle who get's on my nerve's, overly protective, and caring. He would of never let any guy try to hit on my, or any of the sort.

I guess he's already warmed up to Natsume...

"Well that was..weird..." I stated.

"How so?"

"Well..If you was someone else..He would of flipped out..But he didn't.."

"Funny, So would I if I was him."

I looked up at him only to feel his lip's on mine's once again. I closed my eye's, only to open them second's later, the smacking sound ringing loud in my ear's.

I finally let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding, and quickly turned away. I already knew my face was beat red by now. Why did I had the sudden urge to bring him closer again and just repeat the whole process again?

"Relax, there's more where those came from," He exclaimed, stealing another peck from me. "But do bad you'll have to wait on the real one's." He then turned around and headed for the door.

I could feel my anger rising up. "Stupid Jerk!" I yelled, running after him.

~~~~~~~~n.n

Just as the class started to fill in, Pan climbed back into her seat and took out her note book. Putting a hand to her face, she started drawing in the margin of her notebook, her mind wandering to earlier conversation.

"Hey Natsume?"

"Hm?"

Darn. How the hell was I suppose to ask him this? ..May'be it would of been wise to actually use more time to think about this more carefully. Well it's too late now...

"Um..I was just wondering..What are we?"

He turned to me with that look he always display. "Meaning?"

I really should drop this.. "I Mean Us! What is this?!" I exclaimed, moving my hand's between us.

He seemed to finally understand what I meant as I seen that stupid smirk slowly appearing his face as he turned his attention to his bookbag, taking out his material's.

"..You want a label our relationship?"

"Yes.."

He shrugged his shoulder's lightly. "Well what do you want to label us as?" He questioned, turning to me.

I quickly turned to face the front of the room. I could feel my ear's burning up and I hated that effect he had on me.. Great. Why did I have to come up with the Label? I don't even know what to call us! Arg! What was that name.. "..Friend's..with Benefit's..?"

Natsume chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "Do you even know what that mean's?"

"Uh..Not exactly.."

"Okay, let me ask you this: Are you attracted to me?"

Well damn..

"..Uh.."

"Sexually attracted, I mean." He corrected.

Like that made thing's much better..

I could feel him smirking at my uneasiness. "Mmmm..I uhh..Never really thought about it..thought about you that way.." I said truthfully. I never really thought about anybody that way.. Trunks doesn't count because I only imagined kissing him. Nothing else. And I could tell you it's nothing like I pictured it. During the Full moon, He was too rough..too scary..too everything I didn't want.

And speak of the asshole..

I watched as he poked his head in, glazing around the room. I noticed how he skipped my glaze and went on to the next. Honestly, where did all this took a sharp left?

'The same day Natsume walked into your life..' My mind said. Right..The same guy who was a complete jerk to me in the beginning, but soon became my new best friend. Who would of thought he would take Trunks' spot, and who also would of thought Trunks would actually to something about it? I didn't know I was that important to him. He really took thing's to different measure's just to separate us.

My mind couldn't get fully wrapped around both of us kissing. Like I said, he was totally different from what I've imagined, but why does he keep doing it? He's in love with Marron, not me. Could it possibly be that he's having mixed feeling about me? Nahh, I totally doubt that. I hate to say it but, she was better than her in the look's department. I don't think it still the aftermath of the full moon effect because Goten seem's to be fine.

To be honest, If I had to choose..I would choose Natsume over Trunks any day now.

Realizing that I was spacing out, I blushed lightly. "Sorry,"

He turned to see my eye's was locked with the Lavender haired teen. "And what in the world got that pretty little head to be thinking of that cruel bastard is early in the morning?"

"I-I wasn't thinking of him!" Okay that was a obvious lie.

"Can I suggest something to get your head to think about something else Beside's him?"

I had a good feeling I knew what he was talking about. "Sure."

He leaned forward and I met him half way and once I met his lip's, I felt as if I had melted right on the spot. There was always this feeling in my stomach that I only get from him. It was different from Trunks affection's on me..And I think I liked this one better...

I know why he was doing this: To get Trunks jealous.. and I knew it was probably working since I could feel his eye's on me, but I didn't care like I normally would do. It's good to get a taste of his own medicine.

"We really need to practice your skill's..How about you come over to my house after school?"

I couldn't tell if he was being serious or not but I could fell myself nodding my head lightly. Wait..was he saying I was a bad kisser?

Once two student's followed Trunks out of the room, I turned my attention back to Natsume. "Are you saying that I'm a bad kisser?"

"No..But it wouldn't hurt to learn new trick's, am I right?" He smirked.

"I guess.." I couldn't help but wonder what he mean's by that? "So?"

"So what?"

"What is friend's with benefit's?"

There's that smirk I hate again. "Friend's with benefit's is like an arrangement for two people who are friend's that is physically attracted toward's each other. They both share the same..desire and they share a sexual relationship. You don't actually like that person, meaning you don't hold no type of feeling's for that person. It's not serious as a real relationship would be."

"So it's a fake relationship?"

"More or less."

"..I'm not following."

"Okay, say if we was friend's with benefit's. We as friend's, could do more than regular friend's.. Kissing, hugging-"

"But we do that.."

"Having sex," He added. "We would be able to do that, but the thing is..We wouldn't hold any feeling's for each other like couple's.."

I frowned. "So we would be basically using each other for our own person sexual need's?"

"Yes. And also you could leave that Party and go to the next. The whole point of that being is that your free to do that since were only friend's with benefit's."

"And that's the benefit's part?"

Natsume nodded.

"..Well we are Definitely Not friend's with benefit's." I said as a matter of fact.

"Then what are we?"

"Why do I have to pick?"

"Your the one who want's to label us." He said. "In all honesty, I'm perfectly fine with just calling us Really good friend's," He smirked.

I frowned lightly as I crossed my arm's. "Then fine. Were Really good friend's."

"Good. Because I actually have more respect for you than to use you.." He turned my head toward's him and pressed his mouth to mine's. I let my eye's fall shut as I leaned a little into him. The kiss ended second's later when I heard a familiar voice calling my name..

"P-pan?"

I quickly away and turned to look up at Mariko who looked at me with shocked eye's. "Sorry," I muttered.

"I'm not." Natsume muttered. He sighed, moving back into his space bubble, and opened up his notebook.

I could only glare lightly at him before turning toward's Mariko. "Good Morning, Mariko.. Is something wrong?"

She turned back toward's me and flashed me a small smile. "N-Nothing's wrong!"

"Since when did Bookworm's and Bad boy's go together?" Came a voice.

We all looked behind us to see one of our classmate's smiling down at us.

I took a glance over toward's Natsume before blushing slightly. I looked back up at her and started to shake my head. "Where not together."

She cocked her head to the side. "It's not official yet?"

"No. I-I mean it.." I sighed before castng the teen beside me a pleading glance.

I could see the edge of his lip's curling into what I knew was a smirk. He turned to the girl and looked at her with a small gleam in his eye. "Were just Really good friend's.."

She squealed in delight. "That is so hot!"

I looked at her as if she had grown two head's.

"What he mean's is that-"

"What ever happened to you and Trunks? I don't see you two hanging around each other anymore." She glanced up at the door where he was leaning against the door frame, waiting for two of their fellow classmate's: A boy and A girl to follow him. I guess only for a simple meeting...

"Friend's come, and go. There's nothing I could do about that."

"Well I wish you the best of luck, Pan." And with that, she took her leave.

Her thought's was interrupted when Ms. Akemi walked in the class. She quickly scanned the room until her eye's locked on the two in the back. "Pan, Natsume, please head over to the Principle's office.."

Pan and Natsume sat up slightly, looking a little perplexed. "For what?"

"Doesn't say." She exclaimed, showing the small note. "What could you two possibly do this early in the morning?" Ms. Akemi questioned.

Shaking her head lightly, Pan stood up. She had a hunch it had something to do with Trunks... It always did...

"So..What do you think this is about?" Natsume questioned, yawning.

Pan turned around and gave him a look. "How could you not be worried in the slightest? We are being sent to the Principle's office!" She hissed lowly. Crossing her arm's, she glanced down at the floor. "To be honest, I sorta believe this is just another one of Trunks' game's to keep you away."

"If that was the case, He could have finished me off easily yesterday."

She snapped her head toward's him and frowned. "Don't say that."

"What?"

"Don't say he could have finished you off so easily! Your stronger than him, so stop giving yourself little credit when you did most of the damage." She began walking faster, leaving him to stare at her.

Once they've reached the office, they went right inside.

Mr. Hayato looked up from the small packet in his hand and eyed the two teen's. "Sit."

The two slowly complied and waited until he spoke up again.

Tossing the small packet down after a few moment's, he folded his hand's in front of his mouth as his eye's pierced at the two. "Why when I look on your attendance, it show's that you two have been skipping your last two classes for the past few week's?"

Pan couldn't help but sweat drop. "Uh.."

Mr. Hayato switched his glaze onto the teen girl. "Son, you clearly stated that you will keep this one under control, but it seem's like he's dragging you down..Dramatically if I do say so myself. Your grade average was one of the top."

"He's not dragging me down. Sure, I missed a few classwork and stuff, but My grade is still pretty high. And..it's just that He's been having family problem's and I've been helping through everything." Pan explained.

"What kind of family Problem's?"

"I don't think it's any of your busin-." Natsusme began, but was rudely cut off when Pan slapped a hand over his mouth. She began chuckling nervously.

"What he mean's, Sir, is that he doesn't feel comfortable talking about it.."

"Hmmm," Hayato rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Fair enough, but I will have to make an appointment with Both of your Parent's to notify them of your action's."

"I-I don't think that's necessary-"

"And during those meeting's," He continued on. "I will then decide to either let you go, or to let you stay" He said, glancing toward's Natsume.

"But Sir-"

"That is all. You may go."

Sighing, she dropped her head in defeat and let the teen boy drag her out of the office.

Pan sighed loudly as her back hit the cold locker door's. "I can't believe this..Because of you, my grade's are probably below a 50!"

Natsume raised an eyebrow at her. "How is that my fault exactly? If you didn't want to skip, you could of just said No, Pan."

"My family is going to kill me!" Pan cried, ignoring the teen in front of her.

Natsume shrugged. "Then we'll just stop. Simple."

"He's still want's to see our Parent's!"

Natsume shooked his head. "Not going to happen,"

"And why not?"

"He's not meeting my Dad," He then began walking away from the teen.

Pan ran up and grabbed his arm to halt him. "Natsume, slow down. What is wrong with you? If it's such a big deal then just have your older brother to come instead. He is over 18, right?"

"..."

"Well just think about it..Someone has to show up." Pan said, walking ahead of him. "And let's just hope he doesn't kick either of us out.."

"It wouldn't be too bad if we did."

Pan turned around, a small smile on her face. "..I guess your right but still..I love this school. And no one is going to drive me away from what I love."

"What else do you love?"

"Not you," Pan laughed.

"Bet you I can change your mind in less than half an hour,"

Pan turned around and gave off a small smirk, watching as he drew closer to her. "I would love to make that bet, but I have class to get too," And with that, she quickly turned around and entered the room.

Making their way to their seat's in the back, Pan opened her book and started to copy the note's on the board. "Copy the note's," She ordered softly.

She was surprised when he only sighed and didn't complain and did as he was told.

"You know, I feel like seeing you in the new Maid's outfit I got you,"

Pan couldn't help but shake her head at him. "You have to be the most perverted guy I know!"

Natsume chuckled deeply. "I'm not perverted..Just curious of the female body, and I want to learn more about your's."

Her face turned a bright pink. "If I could, I would send you flying across the room."

"You like it when I talk like this, admit it."

"Trust me, I don't."

When Lunch finally swung around, everyone rushed to get out. Pan grasped Mariko's hand and practically skipped out of the room, closely followed by Natsume.

Trunks was the last to walk out of the room, and he stared down the hall where she grew further...

~~~~~~~~n.n

She stormed down the hall, before making a right. It's been too long (A few hour's an some minute's to be exact,)

She crossed her arm's over her chest as she waited for the class to exit the room. Right in the middle of the rush, When she spotted the person she was waiting for, she yanked the blonde to the side before making her follow her down the hall.

They quickly entered the bathroom, and Bra shut the door behind them. After making sure they was alone, Bra quickly turned toward's the Blonde and glared at her.

"Why? Why did you show Trunks whatever was on Pan's phone?" Bra questioned.

"I-it not like that at all!" Marron exclaimed, waving her hand's in front of her in defense. "I was in the Library alone, and Trunks came. All I told him was that I was looking for something on her phone, and that I couldn't figure out her password. He un-did the password and right when I pressed play, I didn't think it was going to be her and Natsume making out, but when I seen it, it was already to late. I was going to stop it, but it took it and stormed away with the phone to who know's where!"

"He went to confront Pan, you Moron! They had Another fight, and he beated her up pretty badly. And because of your little, "Slip up," she's not talking to me anymore!"

"Well how did she know you lied?"

"I accidentally told her, but that's not the case though. You showed Trunks and now she think's that you and me sorta Planned this, and set her up!"

"But we would never do that!" Marron argued.

"Well that's what it seem's like!" Bra snapped. She ran a hand threw her hair and sighed loudly. "What the hell am I going to do?!"

"How about apologizing to her?"

"She won't accept them." Bra said.

"Bra, I'm so sorry this happened.." Marron started. "I just wanted to know if she and Natsume was a thing..."

"But why, Marron? Why?! It's none of your business to begin with! Pan finally gave up on Trunks, so you should be happy that she doesn't like your boyfriend and that she found someone else! So what if they was a thing or not. It's none of your concern, and it wasn't any of mine. Just lay off her already..She doesn't want you in her life anymore, she made that clear..."

"But I miss her, Bra.. I don't want her to be mad at me anymore, you too. I need both you you in my life again!"

"Well that doesn't mean you have to butt into her business to be her friend again.."

"There's so much thing's I missed from her life!"

"But your going about it in the wrong way. Your making thing's worst for us!" Bra ran a hand through her hair. "I'll think of something, but in the meantime, stay away from her Please! And stop butting-into her business."

"Okay, Okay, I get it.."

"Good. Now, let's go."

A small smile graced her lip's as she nodded. "Kay!"

~~~~~~~~n.n

The three sat under the huge tree outside. Pan in the middle while Mariko sat on her right and Natsume on her left. She believed it was time to bring up the situation.

"Sooo.." Pan started. "Who want's to start first...?"

"..."

"..."

"Come on, Guys." She turned and faced the two. "This can't go on any longer and we need to fix whatever is going on now."

Both sides still refused to speak as they looked anywhere else but each other. She could feel her eyebrow twitch as her irritation started to rise. "You two look like a weird couple, you know that?"

Mariko snapped her head toward's Pan, her eye's widen. "Please, Pan. Don't say thing's like that!"

Pan cocked her head to the side as she gave a small smile. She glanced toward's Natsume to see him glaring lightly at people who walked by.

Saying thing's that would get him upset wasn't wise but what else could she do? It was better getting a small rise out of him than being Ignored. She couldn't continue to think about the matter any longer as her ear's faintly twitched as she heard laughter not too far away. Pan turned half way around and was taken back by the sight before her.

Mariko, seeing something wrong with her friend, looked in the same direction, but didn't understand what caused Pan to remain focused on the three teen's.

She looked back toward's the Saiyan with worried expression. "Pan?"

Unknowingly to both teen's, Natsume had witnessed the strange site before the two and was watching the small scene from the corner of his eye for a while now.

"What the hell is that?" Pan snapped.

"What's wrong?" Mariko asked.

Pan snapped back around a frown in place. "Do you not see the problem? Look! What The hell is Bra doing with Marron?!"

"..W-well aren't they acquaintance's?"

"That doesn't mean anything!" Turning back around, her hand gripped the grass beneath her, pulling them from the root's as she watched their smile's grew.

Turning his head in her direction, he raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you mad at her?"

"So?! Just because I'm not speaking to her, doesn't mean she has to be friend's with Marron!" She squinted her eye's at the sight of them. "I bet she's doing this out of spite."

"I-I think it's nice their friend's.." Mariko spoke softly.

"But their not suppose to be friend's, me and Bra is! And what the hell is He doing with them?!"

"W-We'll Trunks and Marron are a couple so it's normal for him to be where she is.." Mariko replied.

"Just be glad he isn't over here," Said Natsume, turning his head away from the trio.

"You guy's are missing the Big Picture here! It's alway's been Me and Bra, Not Marron and Bra!" Not realizing the dirt she remained gripping in her fist, she stood to her feet slowly, as the pain in her lower stomach reminded her to be careful.

"Why go over there if you know it won't end well?" Natsume questioned smartly.

"I need to confront my best friend. How dare she do this over a stupid fight."

Mariko also stood up. "Pan, I don't this is a good idea.." She said, reaching to put a hand on her shoulder but Pan started walking before she could.

She heard the boy sigh behind her and watched as Natsume stuffed his hand's deep in his pocket's as he followed the small teen. Mariko stared at the two before giving her own little sigh and started trailing behind the two. All she could do was hope nothing drastic would happened...

Once reaching the table, Pan rested her hand on her hip's. "What's going on here?"

The three looked up to see her angry face. Bra was the first to speak. "Were eating lunch.." She stated slowly.

"Yeah, With Her! And Him!"

Bra put her sandwich down and turned to face her better. "..So what's the Problem?"

"Just because were not speaking to each other, doesn't mean that you can have lunch with her!" Pan exclaimed, pointing toward's the Blond.

"Pan, you need to calm down. First off, I don't understand why your still upset. We didn't set you up! You know me, I wouldn't do such thing to hurt you. And even though you might be mad at Marron, she wouldn't do it either..I mean, Sure, she took your phone to see what you was hiding, but remember, it was Trunks who unlocked it, so all in all, it's all of our fault's. 15 mine, 35 Marron and the 50 Trunks."

"But why would you lie to me? Your best friend!"

Being so worked up, she almost missed the faltering expression she casted. "D-Don't worry about it.."

Pan squinted her eye's at the Bluenette. "What? I believe I have every right to know."

"We'll talk about that later," She lied, waving it off, turning back around. "Anyway's, I got over about you telling Goten what I was planning on doing, so why can't you just forgive and forget?"

Pan placed a hand on her shoulder's, gripping tightly. "May'be because my situation is much bigger than your's." She exclaimed, turning back around roughly.

Bra caught herself before she fell from her seat and glared at the Saiyan. "Well..I can't doing anything. I tried apologizing, you didn't accept it. So tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it."

"Well for one thing: Stop being around her."

Marron looked off to the side. She should have seen this one coming. She knew Bra would choose Pan over her any day. They was Best Friend's after all...

"Can't do that. I'm willing to give Marron another shot." Bra said, turning back to face her fully this time. She crossed her leg over the other one, along with both of her arm's.

Pan gave her a look. "So your replacing me?"

"..No, that's not what I said.. Your still my best friend, but I can feel this relationship between us isn't going to last very Long..."

"Now your doubting our friendship? All friend's fight!"

"I know, and I said I feel."

"But why are you doubting us is what I don't understand. This is like..our first fight!"

Bra shrugged her shoulder's. "I don't know, It just can't be helped.. Just like you..You've been real moody lately...And I think that's the main reason why this group is breaking up."

Pan's mouth dropped. "What?! I've only been moody is because my best friend lied to me, and Secondly, I didn't tear this group apart, He did!" Pan exclaimed, Pointing to Trunks.

"Don't blame him, It was the full moon. Just stop being mad at him for that. It's in the past."

Pan scoffed, as she crossed her arm's over her chest. "Your one to talk.. How's the Goten situation going by the way?" Pan asked sarcastically, tilting her head to the side. "And plus there's other reason's to be mad at him."

"I'm sure there is," Bra replied in the same manor.

"Hello! Do you not see the evidence?!" Pan exclaimed, motioning her whole body. "You can't possibly think I would harm myself, do you?"

"Well I don't know what's going through that head of your's, so I got a lot of option's running through my mind."

"Bullshit and you know it! Why are you defending him anyways?"

"Because you making a big deal out of nothing. What ever Trunks seen, probably was bad and you deserved what you got. Simple as that."

"Why are you being such a bitch for? I didn't deserve this! Your idiotic Brother is just jealous!" Pan suddenly screamed.

"Do you really want to go over this again?" Trunks said finally speaking up.

Pan switched her glaze toward's him and the intensity in her glare increased. Despite his calm feature's, the playful glint in his eye's didn't go unnoticed. Her fist's balled at her side's as her Ki sparked slightly. She was really growing tired of this little game she was forced to play. But it was just a matter of time until it's all over.. And she will be the one who is Victorious in the end.

So lost in her thought's, she didn't even feel Natsume's hand landing on her shoulder, gently pushing her back.

Trunks switched his glaze toward's Natsume and suddenly stood to his feet. Seeing this, Matron looked between the two with a worried look. "Wait a second, Trunks.." Marron started, also getting up.

Pan stepped up again, shrugging off Natsume's hand.

Trunks gently took off Marron's hand, a smirk set on his face as he now had her undivided attention. "Don't worry, Marron. I'll go easy on her."

"No, You won't. Because you won't touch her." Came a voice. They all turned their head's and was shocked to see the expressionless face Goten held as he quickly made his way toward's them. Even if he was masking his emotion's, His body movement said it all by the way he moved. His fist tightening that they appeared to looked even whiter than usual as he took even stride's towards's the five.

Bra slowly rose to her feet as she took a few step's back to be next to her Brother. Not once did he even glance her way, - not that she was complaining, but She couldn't help but wonder what could of gotten him so pissed off about.

Once beside his Niece, he fixed his eye's on the the boy. "Trunks, what are you doing?"

"Goten, you just in time to watch me and Pan spar a little." The Said teen joked, glazing at her. He could see her fidget in her spot, just itching to strike him.

"Ain't happening." Goten turned toward's Pan, and pointed behind him to the school with his thumb. "Get back inside. Now." He was shocked that Pan didn't fight back when he gave the order, but didn't show it.

Tossing the rich teen one more look, she turned on her heel's and stormed back inside the building, closely followed by her two companion's.

Goten watched her before looking back at his best friend. "And Trunks, stop aggravating her. Don't you think you already did enough damage as it is."

"Goten, Where just having a little fun."

"Well fun's over. Now," His glaze switched between the two female's. "If you two are going to stay away from her, then stay away from her. She doesn't need more shit added to the pile. Same goes for you too, Trunks."

Bra scoffed lightly as she folded her arm's under her chest. "And who are you to be telling us what to do?" She snapped.

Goten raised an eyebrow at the teen. "I'm not in the mood for you attitude or your bullshit, Bra. Just do as your told and there won't be any Problem."

"Goten, I don't think you understand.." Marron started, but Goten cut her off immediately.

"No, I do understand, But apparently you three don't. So let me just tell you right here. Marron, you fucked shit up between you two so just quit and learn to take no for an answer. She doesn't want to be your friend anymore. Your Nothing to her. Never has, and never will be." He ignored the pained look Marron casted as he switched his glaze toward's Bra.

"Bra, I don't know what the hell you did, but from what it look's like, you guy's are no longer friend's either since you can't seem to understand what the hell is going on with her. A true friend would at least try to understand the situation in stead of pinning the whole shit on her. And then you had the nerve's to suddenly bring Marron into this as if she wasn't already in trouble." He then turned his head toward's Trunks, not even bothering to see what her reaction was.

"Trunks, It's obvious that she had a thing for you, but you being too blind, you let her go. She found someone who could actually make her happy, and now your jealous. Your trying so hard to take that one little thing that make's her happy, and for what? You can't possibly be that upset to try to hurt the people you claim to care about. And that said, It's that shit I don't understand. With you wanting her attention every chance you get, it's hard to see your meaning, that is, until a thought came to mind. I could be wrong, I could be right. Who know's, there's a lot of thing's going on inside your head. My Point is, It's either that you like her, or you don't. And I'm only going to say this once..you better not lay another finger on her."

"Goten, I could do anything I want." Trunks laughed. "Just because you "Threatened," me to stay away from her, doesn't mean I will. She's my best friend, she's mine, not his!" The last part came out a little forcefully. His eye's changed from it's playfulness to anger.

Marron turned her head toward's him, not knowing what else to say. But the same couldn't be said about her mind. What the he'll was he talking about Pan was his? May'be it was his Pride saying that. He was just a little over protective when it came to her. Him not being use to boy's following her around like that. That's understandable, But nonetheless, he shouldn't make it sound like that.

Bra glazed down toward's her feet. It was less of a shock to her than Marron as she and Pan had experienced their possessive side, but that still didn't explain why the sudden change of mood. It's was like their action's during the full moon was still present, but taking it's time to fully leave their system. Of course this was a hypothesis, and she really doubt it because her Father had never mentioned it ever lasting this long, so it could be wrong...

Then again, the sign's are right there in front of their face's... She'll just have to ask her Father when she got home because this was going to far.

"Sounding a little too possessive, don't you think?" You could hear the taunt in his voice. "And it's over between you guy's. I mean, What kind of best friend beat's the living shit out of them, especially if there a girl?!"

"She deserved every hit she got. The bitch is stupid!" Trunks snapped.

"Watch how you talk about her, Trunks." Goten warned.

"Or what? You going to hit me or something?" He laughed. He held out his arm's. "Come on. Hit me. I can say anything I want about her. She's Mine."

Goten closed his eye's as he sighed deeply. He could feel his anger slowly rising. "I'm leaving before I do something I'll regret.." He muttered. He turned around and proceeded to head back into the school when Bra spoke up.

"Your only speaking from Pan's point of view. But I'm guessing you haven't even gave it a second thought of Trunks side."

Goten snapped back around, and glared dagger's at her. "I don't need to. I already have enough detail's to prove Trunks is in the wrong."

"Stupid, have you ever even considered how He was feeling when Pan just left him for Natsume?" She snapped.

Goten tilted his head slightly as he walked back up to her, Bra meeting him half way there. "Your calling Me stupid? And this is coming from the girl who claim's she's know's everything about Pan, but decide's to play dumb now. Are you dense? It doesn't Matter why she left him, that didn't give him the right to fucking abuse her!"

"Your right about that, but he was angry, what you'd expect him to do? Take it easy? He is.." She quickly glanced around before lowering her voice. "A Saiyan after all."

"Saiyan or not, it just prove's he has no self-control over his anger, and that he's too dangerous to be around."

"And your not?"

"I'm not. I'm still not over your little Joke of making me feel guilty for nothing, but do you see me abusing you? No!"

"Because you know better than to hit me."

Goten tilted his head to the side as he shoved his hand's deep into his pocket. "I could kill you in an instant, Bra." He reminded her quickly. "Remember, I was the first to teach you everything you know and you've only made little progress. Your life would be done in less than a second."

"Like I would let that happen." Trunks spoke up, stepping up to the Saiyan. The smirk reappeared into the scene's, but that meant nothing as his eyes blazed.

"Come on Guy's, stop fighting." Marron said, watching as a small crowd started to form around them. Knowing Saiyan's, the situation wasn't heading toward's the good side. And it didn't help that she was already Ignored.

Bra pushed Trunks behind her and placed her hand's on her hip's. "I don't need Trunks to defend me, I can fight you on my own."

Goten let out a forced laugh as he stared down at her. "Are we really having this conversation right now? Bra, you can't beat-" His head turned from the impacted from her hand coming down hard on his face. A lot of "Ohh's," and a bit of laughter erupted from the now big crowd.

Marron's hand's quickly came to cover her mouth as she stared in shokced ta her friend. Such a bold move she just made. Sadly, Trunks had a different expression then his girlfriend at the moment. He smirked at the teen, his eye's daring him to strike his sister back. He was itching for a good fight, even thought he really wanted to fight the girl he's been focusing on, or the bastard she's been hanging out with. It was just a matter of time until they cross path's and that day would come. It was in due time, he could feel it...

Surprisingly, Goten let out a small laugh as he wiped his face to see if there was any blood. Good thing there wasn't... "Good one..but just slapping me won't-" His face turned again from her hand once more. The same reaction's from the student's was heard, but more louder.

He slowly turned his head back toward's her again, his lip's perched tightly as his eye's harden, daring her to do that again.

Bra almost coward under his glaze but shooked his glaze off. She wouldn't show him any type of weakness.

"Be lucky I can't hit a girl," Goten started.

"Be lucky? Come on, Goten. Were equally matched.." He raised an eyebrow at her statement. "Okay, almost equally matched.."

"No, Marron is almost you match. Your not even in my league."

"Wanna see about that?" She challenged, taking a step closer.

"I already told you, I'm not hitting y-" Her hand came down on his face harder.

"I'm not hitting you because I'm not like your Brother. But on the other hand-" He yanked her forward and easily threw her on the ground with her arm behind her back. "I'm not afraid to defend myself the proper way. Now do you see how different we are when it come's to fighting." He questioned, using a little strength to hold the teen down.

"Let go of me!"

He easily complied and stood up. But he wasn't prepared to get a punch to his face this time. He stumbled back slightly, but caught himself. He looked up to see another fist coming his way. He swiftly ducked out of the way and got down into a fighting stance.

~~~~~~~~n.n

"Stupid Bastard.. He's lucky Goten had interfered." Pan rambled on, throwing the heavy metal door open.

"Would you relax already. Your acting like you'd be the first to kill him." Natsume said. Surprisingly, He held the door opened for Mariko as she struggled to catch up with the two. She silently thank him, a small blush on her face, but he knew it wasn't from exhaustion.

Pan turned around and frowned lightly at him. "Well.. I don't want to kill him.. I Just want to beat him until he can't walk properly, but still. Your not getting to him first."

While the two continued on about who was going to defeat Trunks in battle, Mariko walked toward's the ledge of the building. Placing her small delicate hands on the rail's, she looked out into the busy city. The skies looked grayish, signalling it was to rain later on in thee day. Her attention was drawn away from the skies as she heard lot's of screaming from down below. Looking over the railing, she noticed a huge crowd forming while two people fought. She easily noted who it was.

"Um.. P-Pan.."

The two stopped their arguing, hearing the urgency in her voice. Pan lightly jogged her way toward's the teen girl and looked over at her before looked over the railing, hearing the commotion now.

Her face scrunched up into a small frown as she stared at her Uncle fight. "What the? He tell's me to go but he's down there picking a fight?!" Pan snapped, leaning over the rail.

"W-What should we do?" Mariko asked, looking at Pan.

Taking a few step's back, she balled her fist tightly. Quickly, her energy started rising, and soon enough, the ground started trembling.

Mariko screamed as the roof beneath her feet started cracking, nearly knocking her off her feet. She clung on tightly to the railing. More scream's could be heard from below, as debree started flying in the air. Her eye's widen as she seen Natsume looking as calm as ever. She knew he was capable of doing this but she wasn't aware that he knew Pan could do this as well.

Once she thought it was enough, she dropped her energy back down before running. The ground cracked even more under her weight as she ran toward's her. She grabbing Mariko bridal style and shot up into the air. Pan flew over the scene to see the two had surprisingly been pulled away from each other. She hovered into the air, letting her energy drop and rise a few time's to get Goten's attention before flying off.

Goten who let his anger subside enough to pay attention to the call, quickly shot up in the air after her and Natsume.

As the aftermath started to roll in, A figure clung to the wall as his life depended on it, His glasses sliding half way off his face as he gave off a frightened expression. He couldn't help but watch in horror as he watch the two Saiyan's blasted off into the air.

Goten powered up slightly to catch up with his niece. He closed his eye's in slight annoyance when Pan's head snapped toward's him, and as predicted, "What the hell was that?!" Pan snapped.

"Don't worry about that. Go back to school to make sure everyone's alright." He ordered, glaring lightly at her. "It wasn't wise for you to start an "Earth Quake,""

"Well knowing you guy's, Mainly Trunks, he'd be the first one to use his power's, which we don't need anymore knowing about it."

Goten nodded his head lightly, in understanding. "Smart move," He glanced toward's the figure being held in Pan's arm's and quickly recognized it as Mariko. "Was it wise to bring her along?"

Pan turned to look at him in confusion. "Well I could leave her. The roof was cracking." She explained.

Goten nodded once more before turning to look straight ahead. "But you know where this is leading to, don't you?"

Pan smirked as she nodded her head. "Don't worry, she'll be out of harm's way." She assured him.

Goten nodded his head for the third time and let her lead the way. The way thing's was going, he really didn't need another person getting Injured on the field, specially if they wasn't in the situation. He should just tell them both to turn back now, but knowing Pan, she'll stay no matter what. But then again, this might be good for them as this could determine where they all stood in the group.

"Their catching up," Natsume mentioned, bringing the two to face him. They both felt two very high power level's fastly approaching, and a very small one.

"Follow me," Pan held the Brunette tighter as her Ki flared up slightly. She lead them right back to the forest where she last got her ass kicked.

She quickly landed and broke out into a short jog to catch herself. She gently placed Mariko on her feet and grabbed her hand before turning to see Goten and Natsume land a few second's later.

The two male teen's looked around to see a little damage around them. "Wow, you guy's really did a number on this place," Goten stated, looking around them.

"So this is where were going to fight?" Natsume questioned. Pan almost sweat dropped when she seen the glint in his eye's and knew he was already thinking of way's he could hurt the Lavender Saiyan.

"Yeah,"

"Are you sure there's no body around to get hurt or spot us?" Goten questioned next.

"I didn't see anyone around when we was fighting."

"Guy's Please, there has to be another way instead of fighting." Mariko pleaded. The last thing she wanted to see was her friend's fighting.

"Sorry, Mariko, but there really isn't another way to handle this." Goten said. "If you want, I could take you back." He offered.

"No, I don't want to go back without all of you!" She suddenly yelled. "How about talking about it first!"

"I already tried that. And it lead to this." Goten sighed. "Look, this is probably for the best. If we don't get this over with, it's just going to get even worst. This fight was going to come sooner or later, and look at it this way, it will determine where we wall stand." Goten explained.

"I like how you think, Goten." Pan said, nodding in agreement.

"So.. who's going against who?" Natsume questioned once he spotted the three in the sky.

"I'm going after Bra." Goten stated, also looking up.

"I'm going after Trunks!" Pan quickly said. She looked toward's Natsume to see his emotionless face and glared at him.

"You both can handle him," Goten waved at them.

"No, she'll easily get hurt. It's better if I handle him." Natsume said, taking off his school jacket. Letting Pan's hand go, Mariko stepped toward's him and he tossed it toward's her. She easily caught it and held it tightly to her.

Pan watched this but didn't say anything. They all needed to be focus on what's at hand. Instead, she said, "And you get to have all the fun? I don't think so." She stepped past him and glared at the nearing teen's.

"Its not about having fun, and I don't want you getting hurt..Or in the way."

"Jeez, thanks for showing how much you care," She said sarcastically.

All conversation's died down once the three figure's landed in front of them.

"So, were really doing this.." Pan stated, glaring toward's Bra. But their eye's never locked as she was busy glaring at the male beside her.

Goten chuckled bitterly beside her. "I guess it is," And with that, the two Saiyan's didn't waste any time as they both vanished from their spot's and in a matter of second's, Fist's connecting with one another could be heard just above them.

Pan watched the scene before her, slightly surprised that Bra could keep up with him. But even if that was the case, she knew that Goten was going easy on her. He was strong as Trunks and that being said, he could easily do some serious damage as his energy only rose every so slightly. It scared her knowing that he wasn't fighting to his full extent.

He was toying with her, because as far as she could see it, Bra hasn't even landed a solid hit on him yet. Did she look like that when fighting Trunks? She hoped not.

Pan's body was now turned side way's as she continued to watch the teen's battle it out, along with Mariko. But unlike Pan, Mariko was having a bit of a problem trying to follow the two. One minute, they would be there and then next, they would appear on the other side. It was crazy! She needed to stop this at once!

"Goten, Please!" Mariko yelled. She took two step's toward's the fight but stopped when Pan locked hand's with her's once more, bringing her back to her side. She didn't need her getting lost within the forest and possibly hurt. But being restrained to move forward didn't stop her from following the fight with her eye's as she watched, or tried to, with a worried expression on her face.

Trunks glazed switched over toward's Mariko. She was a small weak little thing. Her structure was small, but she still was taller than Pan by a few inches, and a little more developed, he noticed. Of course he didn't find her attractive that way, but it couldn't be helped. His view was suddenly blocked when Pan stepped in front of her, glaring dagger's at him.

Now the sight of her angered face brought a small smirk to his lip's. He didn't even flinch when Bra zoomed passed them and disappeared within the many tree's around them. Mariko's voice was the only one heard when Pan pulled her and pressed her to her body tightly when Goten came speeding past them.

Seeing the two distracted once more, Trunks thrusted his hand forward, a small energy bouncing off, and gave off a massive explosion. Pan, who was no where near prepared to dodge it, screamed along with Mariko as she shield her with her body as best as she could.

When she opened her eye's, she found herself hanging by her arm in the air. She looked up to see Natsume's being the one to save her. Her eye's widen when she looked around for Mariko. But her question's was answered when she heard crying near and seen her clutching on Natsume's side tightly.

Pan turned her attention toward's Trunks who floated a good distance away from them and smirked at the crying teen. Pan squinted her eye's at him as she levitated beside Natsume. "Give me Mariko." She muttered lowly for only him to hear.

Natsume quickly glanced at her before complying. He carefully passed the crying teen toward's her.

"For some strange reason, I'm getting the feeling that he seem's to be targeting her." Pan glanced toward's the teen over her shoulder. "I was going to make you do rock Paper Scissor with me to determine who goes first but it's obvious you'll go." She leaned over and kissed the side of his face before taking a quick glance toward's the Saiyan and slowly levitating toward's the ground.

Trunks' expression changed as he watched Pan lower both of them down toward's the ground. Was she trying to make him go on a rampage and kill everything in sight? Was something wrong with the head that sat on her shoulder's? He had doubt's in the beginning, but now, he was sure of it. He was really, Really sure of it. "To be honest, I was hoping to fight Pan first, but I guess this way is better. It'll be less interference when I'm done with you."

It wasn't rocket science to figure out what he was talking about. So to avoid that problem, he said, "In that case, Pan could fight you first then,"

Trunks gave a sarcastic laugh. "Didn't you hear what I just said? Either way it won't be good on either of your parts. Your good as dead, while she'll be pity in my hands."

"Then I guess I'll just have to make it sure you won't ever have the privilege to breath again,"

"Such big talk for someone weak as you. Come on, Let's see if you improved." Trunks said, getting down into a fighting stance.

Natsume copied his movement's, putting all his attention on him. Just as Goten had claimed earlier, this would determine where they all stood with one another, and knowing that they definitely didn't mix, he had nothing to lose, so mind's well make sure he stay's down for good. He was quick to charge at the teen, with his arm out stretched, fist balled tightly.

Fist met fist, Knee met knee. This been going on for the pass few minute's and she was getting no where. Once her fist made contact with his once more, she tried hard not to cringe from the pain that shot up her arm as she moved back to do a round-house kick, only for it to be blocked. Angrily, she jumped back, only giving her a few second's to breath as Goten charged after her. She turned on her heel's and flew pasted the tree's. She didn't get it, why wasn't she landing any hit's on him?! This was becoming irritating to the point that she couldn't even think properly. All her mind kept screaming was for her to kill him, but how could she when she couldn't even touch him?

She let out a scream when his knee roughly slammed into the middle of her back, forcing her down. But he didn't stop at that. Gripping her shoulder's, he swung her once, and she went flying. She sent many tree's down, breaking them in half as she went through them.

Once her back hit the last one, her form fell limp onto the ground. Her arm's shooked as tried to sit up. Already her clothes was tattered. Her hair fell in her face. Looking up, she glared at the figure who took calm step's toward's her. The rage surging through her core and she couldn't stop herself from flying at him.

He quickly leaped into the air and balled his fist's before hurling his body toward's her at top speed. He seen her eye's widen for a brief moment as she barely dodge him. Before he collided with the ground, an energy ball developed from his hand's, breaking his fall. Using it as a small push, he changed direction's and charged at her once more. He roughly head-butted her stomach, sending her off.

The wind was knocked right out of her as they both hurled toward's the earth's surface, a massive dust cloud emerging.

Goten back flipped off her and stood into a stance, waiting for her to peel herself out of ground. The ground then started rumbling as her energy sparked. Even through the massive dirt cloud's, her aura glowed dangerously around her. Bending her knee's, she dashed straight at him.

Seeing this coming, he easily jumped up and kicked her down with a round house to the side.

Bra caught herself by placing a hand on the ground, and flipping back. And once again she charged at him, but this time, her fist's was covered with a bright glow. She threw punches and kick's from left to right, but no matter how faster she was, how harder she attempted, she grew even more frustrated when he blocked them all.

Goten held a serious face, something was becoming all too familiar. Blocking one last punch thrown toward's his face, he grabbed her wrist, and swung her at top speed. Once he was almost charged up, and when they almost completely vanished into the thin air, he released his hold on her and watched as she disappeared into the Forest.

It hasn't even been long and he was already growing weary of this. If she wanted to fight then, he wasn't going to go easy on her this time. He hovered in place and looked in the direction where he had thrown her. He could feel her energy rising madly as a loud, piercing scream erupted from down below. And soon enough, a large amount of greenery was now gone, the only thing standing was a livid Saiyan.

Her hair and skirt floated around her as her energy kept climbing. Goten remained unfazed as this was nothing new to him. The ground shooked violently, much worst than what Pan had caused earlier. There she go again, not thinking rationally, too blinded by rage, just like the day of the funeral.

With a loud cry, she blasted off the ground. Goten powered up slightly before meeting her more than half way. He pulled his fist out, ready to met her punch head-on, when he fazed out, forcing her to punch nothing but the air. She didn't even have time to realize what was taking place when his fist came down on her head. She leaned forward greatly from the impact. Ignoring the sickening sound her skull made, he shifted his body slightly as he shoved his knee in her mid-section, before bringing both his fist down on her back.

Jumping back slightly, he got into a crouching position and threw his arm back, a bright yellow glow flared in the middle of his palm. And in one quick motion, he threw his arm forward, a small light rolling off with ease and he watched it collide his target.

A loud explosion erupted, but his eye's quickly darted out of the growing smoke-debree as he followed the dark figure. Quickly, he focused his energy at the bottom of his feet and blasted off into the air right after her.

Bra was in pretty bad shape. Many scare's, scrape's, cut's, and some trail's of blood decorated her body. Feeling the burst of energy right underneath her, she rarely had enough time to put her arm's up to block her face as he tried to land a solid punch square in her face.

But she was pushed back greatly. Her back slammed harshly into the ground, her form rolling, going father. She soon caught herself as her nail's dug into the ground, trying to slow herself down. When she blinked, his figure was no longer there, and her eye's widen when she felt his present's behind her once again. She didn't even have time as he gripped her ankle's, and twisted her body around, forcing her onto the ground. His body fazed out on top of her, and her eye's widen from surprise. He raised a glowing his above his head. Her breath was caught in her throat and she couldn't help but turn her head as she held her eye's close tightly, letting out a frightening scream. There was no way she was escaping now...

Natsume stumbled back as Trunks landed a solid hit to his jaw. He backed flipped before shooting into the air, with Trunks hot on his trail.

Pan was having slight difficulties trying to follow the teen's as Mariko remained weeping in her arm's. She didn't want to get to close to the fight, knowing something dangerous might occur for the two, but she did want to keep a close eye on them, fearing for Natsume safety.

She watched as Trunks flew higher above him and with a quickly repeating thrusting of his arm's, Many Ki blast's was heading his way.

Natsume put his arm's up in defense, but the same couldn't be said about the two down below. Some slipped passed him, and was heading straight toward's Pan and Mariko.

The light reflected in both teen's wide eye's. She nearly dodge the second blast heading toward's them as Mariko scream caused her to cringe slightly as she ran. She jumped into the air, but that wasn't enough to escape one from hitting her in the back. Letting out a small scream of her own, she nearly dropped the brunette in her arm's as she flew higher out of the danger zone.

Her scream caused the Saiyan to halt his assault on the teen and turned his attention toward's her. She turned quickly, but not fast enough as he seen the back of her shirt nearly disintegrated.

Mariko's body swung slightly as she clutched onto Pan's hand tightly. "Pan!" She cried.

Pan opened one eye and looked down to see Mariko's discomfort, and pulled her up. She wrapped an arm around her waist to secure her, as Mariko wrapped both arm's around her neck. "Please call off the fight, Pan. It isn't worth it!"

"Mariko, you don't understand.." Pan tried, groaning second's after.

"Your right, I don't. All you've been doing is keeping secret's from me and that hurt's."

"Mariko.. I'm Sorry-" Pan stumbled forward slightly, causing Mariko to tightened her grip around her neck.

"Look, your hurt!" Mariko lightly snapped. "This won't solve anything!" She had to stop her lecturing short when Pan flew further away when Trunks shot a powerful energy wave. "Please!"

"Uhhh..Do you see what I'm seeing?" The man rubbed his eye's before looking back up into the sky. "I think my eye's are playing trick's on me, Bud." A tall man exclaimed, eye's wide.

The shorter man shooked his head slowly. "Your eye's are fine. There's actually flying Human's in the sky!"

The taller man took off his hat and wiped the light sweat off his forehead, his eye's squinting to get a better view of the scene. "Well what should we do?"

"What the kid's do nowaday's: Video tape it and put in on the inter-net." The shorter man answered, pulling out his phone. "Is is sure to make us a few buck's, don't ya think?"

Natsume held out his hand's, the tip of his finger's glowed as beam's aimed toward's him. He followed the teen as he tried to dodge them.

He didn't flinch when Trunks fazed out in front of him. His fist quickly lodging into his stomach. With the build up power that hid behind his fist, forced him to double over.

But what had surprised him was when he felt his fist being clutched tightly. He used his knee to push him away before fazing behind him. And with both fist's, he sent him down. Brushing his hair back, he glared at his fallen form.

Trunks caught himself as he landed on his hand's and knee's, but that didn't stop the ground from trembling as the creator formed under his weight. When he looked up, he wasn't prepared as Natsume brought his fist down on his face, forcing him deeper into the ground.

Pan jumped up into the air to get a good view. She heard Mariko gasped loudly as the dust cloud's was quickly forming as his fist repeatedly connected with his face. He didn't let up for after a good minute before jumping into the air. Once again, he used the finger beam's on him.

"Okay, Natsume, that's enough!" Mariko yelled. Her frown only deepened when she realized he wasn't paying her no mind whatsoever. "Natsu-" She blinked as Pan's hand slapped over her mouth.

"Shhh!" Pan hissed. She glared at the spot where the Saiyan remained and wondered what was taking him so long to respond. He couldn't possibly be done already.

Her answer's was soon given when he flew out of the dust cloud. But there was something wrong with that picture. It was as if he was taking his time...

Speeding up time, Natsume flew to him at top speed, jamming his knee into his stomach before fazing out on the side of him. He smirked to himself as he doubled over but didn't stop and slammed his leg into his face, sending him back down. He quickly followed him and successfully grabbed his leg. During the mix of this, he turned his body around and proceeded to slam his elbow into his face just before they both crashed into the ground.

Pan flew in closer to get a better look at the scene. Something didn't add up. Why wasn't Trunks attacking him? It's as if he wasn't even trying to block his attack's! He is bound to get hurt sooner rather than later if he keep's this up. Just What the hell is going on in his mind?

Jumping back into the air to give them some distance. His hair start's floating around him as he thrust's his hand's forward, creating a sphere that contained with Black energy with a gray sphere inside it that turn's black in the center. Red powerful electricity floating around it.

And just as he fire's it, Natsume was thrown back himself. The two girl's was also pushed back a little less violently but continued to in horror as a black streak trailed behind it before colliding with Trunks's laid form causing a huge explosion to occur, forcing them even farther away.

Their scream's was unheard as the explosion was twice as loud. Pan tightened her grip on Mariko and took the damage as they flew through many tree's.

Once they finally came to a stop, Mariko opened her eye's slowly. Her mind felt fuzzy as if she had spun thousand time's nonstop. They probably did after the way they was tossed like that. Shaking the pain away the best she could, she climbed off the girl and turned her. "Pan?" When she got no response, she started to panic. "Pan!"

Pan's eye's flew open to see Mariko staring at her. She tried to sit up but Mariko pushed her back down. "We need to stay far away from them."

"Mariko-"

"No, Pan. Look at you, your hurt again!"

"I've had worse, Mariko." Pan said sitting back up.

Mariko was about to speak again when Natsume landed just a few feet's away. "Are you both okay?"

"Just fine."

"No."

The two teen's looked at each other, more or less annoyed.

"Are you two done now?" Mariko asked, tearing her glaze away from the Saiyan.

"Look's like it. I don't even feel his energy anymore."

Both teen's eye's widen. "You killed him?!"

"That was the plan." He sighed.

"Please tell me your joking!" Mariko cried. She flinched when he gave a piecing stare at her.

"Would you shut up already?" He switched his glaze toward's Pan. "Take her away from here."

"Okay, everyone relax." Pan started, but was cut off when Mariko sat on her knee's, frowning at him.

"No I will not be remove from this place until everyone stop's fighting." She did her best when his glare only intensified. "You said you was done, s-so let's all go and get Goten a- Are you listening to me?"

"No, I'm not." He stated, his fist's glowing. "And I suggest you shut your mouth before you end up like him." He threatened.

Pan could feel the teen slightly trembling beside her and decided to speak up. "Okay, no need for threat's," She said, putting a hand on the girl's arm. She stood to her feet, pulling the teen with her. "Let's all just go and find Goten like Mariko had suggested." Pan said. She lifted Mariko into her arm's once more, before taking flight.

Natsume glared lightly at her back but complied.

Pan stopped for a second before looking around. It was surprisingly quiet. "W-where do you think they are?" Mariko questioned.

Pan only shrugged for her answer. "Hey, Natsume?" She was about to turn around when she was suddenly pushed down by the flick of his wrist's. The two girl's screamed as they was thrown spirally into the ground.

The two looked up in horror as a irregular massive energy blast engulfed Natsume's form.

Pan's eye's widen as she watched his body fall lifelessly. "NATSUME!"

Blasting off the ground, She powered up to get toward's the falling body quicker. She caught his body and slowly levitated toward's the ground. Carefully, she rested his head on her lap and quickly checked for his pulse. It was faint, but still there. She didn't understand this..Just a few minute's ago, he claimed he couldn't feel his energy anymore, yet he was still alive. And more importantly, that blast.. She has never seen such a massive energy wave in her life! How could this be?! He was stronger than him, she was sure of it!

Just looking down at his form caused rage to fill her sense's. She slowly raised her head toward's him, her eye's watering slightly. Just how much power was he containing?!

Trunks stared down at her form, cradling the bastard he just finished off. It irked him, watching her worry over him. It wasn't like he was trying to kill him yet, just merely toying with him. He haven't even unleashed most of his power's yet. Who knew he would go down so easily..Oh wait, He did.

He slowly levitated on the ground and crossed his arm's, glaring at the scene. "Quit worrying over the bastard, he isn't dead yet." Trunks snapped.

Pan snapped her head toward's him, tear's now making an appearance. Her body shooked in rage as she tried to place his head gently onto the ground before taking a stand. "You..heartless..Bastard!" She screamed, jumping at him.

Seeing this coming, He easily punched her square in the face, sending her down, but just as she began falling, she outstretched her arm to gripped the front of his shirt and yanked him down, switching place's with her, and forced his face into the dirt.

Her knee's fell on his chest, and she quickly grabbed his wrist's and placed her knee's on his arm's. She raised a fist in the air, and made an attempt to punch him when she suddenly stopped as the wind blew by, forcing her skirt to flow along with the current. She could feel all the blood rushing from toward her face as she already knew his expression. Letting out a hiss in irritation, her fist came down in the ground. Wait, the ground?

She quickly snapped her head up before looking behind her, only to find nothing. She quickly jump into a crouching position, and remained still, her eye's trained on everything moving. She had little time when her head shot up as a energy blast engulfed her whole being.

Trunks jumped into the air and thrusted his arm's repeatedly, sending million's of Ki blast's in her direction.

Pan, who was now on her knee's, frowned when a huge shadow casted over her and slowly raised her head toward's the sky, and the light reflected on her body, and in second's, many mini explosion's erupted as they came in contact with the Earth's surface.

The light lightly reflected on his skin, the wind now turning violent, blowing his bang's wildly in his face. He wouldn't lie, he did enjoy the nice view of her undergarment's, but he would have to say that That was the highlight's of this new battle.

And now that he thought about it, he should punish her for that little stunt she pulled right before his and Natsume's match. And with that thought known, it just occurred to him that he might have went a little easy on the little Bastard. Well he was still alive so he could easily take him out right after he finish with the little troublemaker in front of him.

Fazing out before her fallen body, he bent down to grip her hair and pulled her up. Turning her around toward's him, He kneed her in her already wounded stomach twice before shoving her on thee ground with much force. He straddled her waist, gripping her bang's to the ground.

"Wake up!" He snapped.

When her eye's shot open, the determination was set in her dark eye's. She aimed her fist toward's his face and he easily dodged it, but the same couldn't be said when his came across her face. And just like that, blood spewed from her nose.

Shifting her body underneath him, Her leg came up and wrapped itself around his neck, and easily knocked him back. She quickly sat up and with her leg on his neck, trapping him, she pounded angrily on his face. But so content with what she was doing, didn't even see his foot coming fast, colliding with the side of her head roughly.

She was sent rolling a few feet away. Unlike her, Trunks jumped off the ground with ease, and brushed himself off before turning toward's him.

Her vision was a little tricky as she started seeing two of the same Saiyan, before the figure merged back into one, and repeating the same process all over. She carefully wiped the blood that dripped from her nose on the sleeve of her school uniform. There goes yet another uniform, but she paid no mind to that at the moment as she watched in anger as he acted as if her hit's didn't affect him.

She stood up in time as he charged at her and held her arm's out to clap's with his as she tried to stand her ground, but second by second, she started slidding back. Powering up to her highest, she let out a small scream when she tried to push him back, but just with a small thrust of his energy, she lost her footing and found herself being pinned up against the bark of the tree. Their hand's remained locked with one another's, shaking greatly as they fought for dominance. Closing her eye's tightly, she powered up to her full extent. "Get. Off of me!" She screamed, the wave's on energy blowing their hair's and clothe's around. A small creator forming just under their feet's. But no matter how much she powered up, he didn't move an inch.

"Just give up, you know you can't win against me.." He smirked, shoving her back slightly, causing the tree to crack under the pressure of her back before falling over.

Pan glared at him, and before she knew it, she had him pinned on the floor. She didn't know how, nor did she care. She finally had him and there was nothing he could do. She didn't even struggle to grab both wrist's in both hand's, and she automatically knew he wasn't taking her seriously. She stopped and breathed heavily, trying to catch her breath as she glared at him. It was only second's when his smirk resurfaced and that playful glint she was so sick and use to. "Fight me seriously!" She screamed, throwing rapid punche's at him, only for him to block them all. He turned his head to the side to dodge a powerful one before turning back to look at her.

And In a matter of second's, he had gotten into a sitting up position with her arm's behind her back. With her sitting on his lap, he reached up to her neck. Their chest's brushed up against each other as their glaze grew intense. "You don't want me to fight you seriously because you'll end up just like him, possibly even worse." Trunks muttered.

She didn't say anything as she was waiting for the moment he let her arm's loosen, even slightly. She was going to wipe that stupid smirk right off his face.

Gripping both her wrist's in one hand, his free hand grabbed the back of her neck and forced her head forward. He slammed his mouth over her's, in a dominating, forceful kiss. Her eye's widen before closing tightly, struggling against him. She screamed into the kiss, and that only made him deepen it. He could feel his control slipping when she made that beautiful sound he love's dearly. Her teeth bit down on his bottom lip was what forced his hand to leave her neck and grip her hair, yanking her head back. Their breath mingled harshly with one another, their glare strong. She watched as he lightly sucked the small slit on his lip. "Don't say I didn't warn you,"

His hand hovered over her chest, and in a blink of an eye, she was sent flying.

Trunks slowly rose off the ground and duffed himself off again. He wouldn't do as he said h would, but only use slightly bit more of his power he stored up. If he she wanted a slightly better fight then who was he to argue about that. He get to see what she's truly made of, even though, he already knew her power's, but let's see if she had improved.

The front and back of her left hand came in contact with his face before her right fist slammed itself down in the side of his face. But just before she could land another blow, he grabbed her fist and twisted her arm, forcing her to lean over him. She held in a scream when he tightened his grip and easily rolled them over.

Swinging her extent arm, she managed to knock him off her a few feet away. She quickly rolled over and stumbled after him. But doing so, she couldn't catch herself when she came in front of him. Their nose's nearly touching. But before she could even think about doing something, he forced his body back doing a back flip, but also taking her with him. He ended with his knee in her chest.

Pan's eye's was tightly closed as her mouth opened in a silent scream as blood flown out of it.

Trunks jumped back and stared at the blood that landed on him before looking back at her. He then took noticed that he didn't go as planned as many noticeable crack's laid beneath her as her body formed a small creator around her.

He walked toward's her and stood beside her fallen body. He watched as her face cringed slightly. Her eye's suddenly opened and her arm shot out and let off a powerful Ki blast aiming toward's his face.

His body didn't even flinch when it came in contact with him, but that small fact flew over her head as she crouched down, and with all her might, she swung her body around to throw her leg harshly into his side. He was sent flying within the forest.

When Pan's body dropped, she held her leg as the pain shot straight up. She struggled to sit up, but when she finally did, Her eye's widen when she seen him walking toward's her as if she had never sent him flying.

He grabbed her wrist's and them across her chest, pulling tightly. And his knee repeatedly slammed into her back, and each time, she cried louder. When he finally let up, he blasted into the sky.

He started to move his arm's in a specific pattern before bringing his thumb and index finger together in the shape of a diamond before setting off his attack. "Burning attack!"

She couldn't even move anymore. It was as if she was paralyzed. What was going on with her?! Pan could only watch as the attack hurled it's way toward's her.

After watching the attack go as planned, he waited a few moment's before lowering back toward's the ground.

"Pan!" Mariko screamed. She began thrashing around in Marron's grip, trying to get freed.

"Mariko, stop!" She yelled, holding onto to her tighter. She ignored the claw mark's she was receiving and started lowering toward's the ground. Once Marron placed her on a high but sturdy branch, she examined her arm's.

"I'm sorry, Marron, but how could you possibly let this go on?!" Mariko yelled.

"This isn't my place to speak!" Marron yelled back. "This is their choice, and you just need to accept that! This was coming regardless of what you did." She spoke in a much softer tone.

"But these are your friend's! Your suppose to protect them from harm no matter what and your just standing doing nothing! I'm really disappointed in you," She ignored the look Marron gave her as she carefully started climbing down the tree.

"Where are you going?"

"To try to stop this!"

"Mariko, you know you can't!" She said flying next to her.

She met the Blonde's glaze with a glare. "Just watch me,"

"Trunks, stop!" Mariko screamed, falling down toward's Pan's fallen body. "You claimed she was your best friend but here you are trying to kill her!"

Trunks just answered her when he raised a hand, a blue orb facing them both. Mariko's eye's widen when it easily rolled and/or/ bounced off his hand and headed straight for them/ or/ the/ two.

When she opened her eye's, she found herself in the arm's of Marron. Pan's body in her other arm. "Marron?"

Marron frowned toward's Trunks who just glazed up toward's her. Without another look, she turned on her heel's and blasted away. "Mariko, I need you to find Natsume or Goten."

"What?" She squeaked.

"If you want to help Pan then do as I say!" She got lower and dropped Mariko before flying higher again. Mariko caught herself and tucked and rolled a few time's before landing on her hand's and knee's. She watch as Trunks continued to chase Marron.

Mariko looked around herself to see nothing but greenery. "Now where did he go?"

Marron flew down lower toward's the tree's, moving swiftly in between them. It was good cover as Ki blast's was thrown her way. She would think he wouldn't try to hurt her but she guess she was wrong.

Just how mad did Pan get him? She had to put this to an end if she didn't want to get hurt. "Trunks, stop!" She screamed. She blasted straight up and waited until he emerged from the tree's.

Once he did, he raised his hand once more, his energy rising slowly. Marron frowned at her boyfriend. "Are you really going to shoot me?!" She snapped.

"Then move away from her," He simply stated, the glow from the palm of his hand growing.

She quickly adjusted thee Saiyan in her arm's, and Without him noticing, she started to slowly transfer some of her energy into her. "Trunks, please stop. You've already made a point. She's hurt-"

"Move away from her Marron." His voice rose slightly in irritation.

"Not into stop doing this. Mariko was right, Trunks..Fighting won't solve anything!"

He glared hard at her. "This fight has nothing to do with you, Marron."

Marron met his glaze head-on. "It is when my friend's life are in danger!" She snapped, forcing more energy into the teen.

Pan's eye's fluttered opened. Her vision was slightly blurry, but she knew that kind of Blond hair anywhere. Her eyebrow's furrowed slightly in confusion. What was Marron doing holding her? Wait, what was she doing on the battle field in the first place? But more importantly, where the hell was Mariko?

Somehow finding her strength, she sat up and looked around her frantically. "Where's Mariko?!"

Marron switched her glaze toward's Trunks who released multiple energy blast's their way. Marron screamed as she blasted away with Pan still rambling on.

"Where is she?!" Pan snapped.

"Looking for Natsume or Goten!" Marron yelled back.

Pan eye's widen. "You left her alone?! Why on Earth would you do that?! She could get hurt!"

"I had no choice! She was going to come for you while Trunks was still attacking you!"

"Forget about me, go get her!" Pan jumped out of her arm's a little to quickly as she started to fall, but caught herself.

After Marron made sure she was stables enough, she flew in the opposite direction. She glared lightly as she neared Trunks. But just as she was about to fly past him, he yanked her to his side and held her tightly. His other hand sent a massive energy wave hurling toward's the Saiyan.

She did her best to Ignore the loud explosion behind her and continued to run. Finding Natsume might be a problem, but finding Goten shouldn't. They was still fighting, wasn't they? She hoped not. Already two people was down- well hopefully Marron's figured something out to help Pan get back to her feet, I mean, Trunks wouldn't just fire an attack at his girlfriend, right?

A row of tree's tumbling over just a few feet's in front of her. She shielded her face as the wind wiped around violently. "Goten!"

Despite the wind's, she ran in the direction of the fallen Princess. She stood in front of bra's form, her arm's wide out. "Goten, stop! Pan need's-" Her word's would forever be lost within the current's as her body was thrown forward.

But just before her body collided with the tree's, Goten caught her. She watched in horror as Bra's energy became visible.

Bra tore off the remaining of her shirt, revealing her Bra. With a loud battle cry, she charged at the two.

"Goten, Pan need's your help!" Mariko cried once he was put in defense mode.

He was surprised when the Saiyan was suddenly tackled down to the ground.

Marron quickly took Mariko into her care and floated back and watch Goten went to help his niece.

Pan's right foot connected with the side of Trunks' head, while her fist came down on Bra's. Using that little time she had, she blasted upward, closely followed by Goten.

Goten turned toward's Pan to see her form trembling slightly. He couldn't question her when the two sibling's shot multiple energy blast's.

Goten and Pan countered it by doing the same. When the four seized their attack's, they all glared at one another, their glaze's switching to the next. And just like that, they all fazed out.

It went unnoticed as the two teen's flew spirally toward's the ground. Pan easily put Bra in defense mode as her attack's grew rapid. But even then, she still had trouble defending herself. A scream soon escaped her mouth when one of Pan's fist landed on the side of her face.

Her body was sent hurling toward's the ground. Her arm's and leg's was sprawled out. She didn't even have time to protect herself when Pan's form fazed out in front of her, a glowing fist's ready.

But just as she was set on finishing the teen, she was suddenly tacked away from her, Goten following after the two.

All the air was knocked out of her when Trunks' fist connected with her stomach. He slammed her down before back flipping into the air and blocking Goten's kick to the face. His Ki grew visible and stronger when he powered up and went after him.

Pan watched with half lidded eye's as Bra's figure flew by. Blinking the pain away, she powered up herself and flew after them. They was all so content with the battle at hand that they didn't even realized four powerful energy level's fastly approaching.

Pan went straight for Trunks and threw her glowing fist at him. He easily weaved them before connecting his knee into her jaw before turning around and slamming his leg into her side.

Bra flew under her body and charged at Goten, and with everything she had, she concentrated her energy to her foot and swung it into Goten's stomach. He doubled over, his mouth opening as his spit mixed with Blood poured out. But just like that, his glare intense as he shot a Ki blast into her face before kicking her away.

Bra caught herself and retaliated when she landed on his back. Her nail's clawing at his face. He gripped her wrist's in a death grip and powered up. Her eye's widen when he fixed their position's where they was upside down, and started spinning. The more they quickly descended, the faster they went. He smashed her back into the ground.

Pan fell on one knee, forcing the ground to lower under her. Just as Trunks was merely inches away, she kicked her leg's out and swung him behind her. She pressed her feet into his chest in the ground before flipping off of him. She quickly send a small energy wave at his form before flying off.

She gasped when she felt his present's just behind her. She quickly turned and caught his fist. And just as they was going all out, She felt someone's arm's wrap tightly around her waist and tore her off the Saiyan. He called her name repeatedly but she still refused to listen as her mind kept screaming to kill him.

Piccolo fazed out behind Trunks pulling him farther away from them both. And not to far away from them, Goku and Vegeta had a little bit more difficulties holding the other two down.

Goku frowned at his youngest Son when he tried to throw him off of him. Never in his life had he ever seen him so riled up before. He glanced toward's Vegeta and seen Bra giving him even more trouble. Just what the hell was going on lately?

Vegeta was more shocked than furious to see his daughter in the state she was in. Blood nearly covering her form. The clothes he seen her with this morning was barely on her now! Where the hell was her shirt?!

"Bra, calm down!" He snapped, using his strength to slam the teen on the ground. He held one knee to her back holding her down. Her struggles soon started to die down as she started to cool down slightly. He looked up to see Goku finally had gotten Goten under control before glancing toward's Gohan. Pan was still fuming, her entire body twitching.

When the four adult's slowly landed toward's the ground and glanced at each other.

"Sit," Gohan ordered, forcing her onto the ground. "Now, Would someone like to explain why you all are here and not in school?" Gohan questioned, glancing at every teen. When no one answered, he felt more agitated. "Well?"

"Why are you shaking?" Piccolo questioned next, glancing toward's Pan.

Pan furrowed her eyebrow's in confusion before looking down at herself to see she was. She could only shrug for her answer.

"Beside's that, Why are you not in school, Pan?" Gohan questioned. "Pan."

"Because!" Her nail's clawed at the ground as she sighed loudly. "It's all their fault's!" She pointed toward's Trunks and Bra.

"What?!" Bra screamed.

"How so?" Gohan pressured.

"Because they like to agitate people!"

"Pan that's not a good enough reason to leave school and fight them."

"The school yard was nearly destroyed. Wanna tell me why?"

Pan puffed out her cheek's and she crossed her arm's stubbornly.

It was only minute's later when Marron landed gently on the ground with Mariko and Natsume in her arm's. "Thank god you guy's are here." Marron sighed in relief.

"He's coming with us." Pan said firmly.

"No he's not." Trunks snapped. He brushed off Piccolo's hand and started walking toward's her.

Pan jumped to her feet and proceeded to meet him half way but Gohan grasped her wrist tightly in his hand.

Vegeta let go of Bra and made an attempt to go after his Son, when Bra shot up from the ground and charged at Goten who was more than ready.

Piccolo quickly came to Goku's aid as he tried to pull the two teen's away.

Goku moved back suddenly, as his face scrunched up into a small frown as he glanced at all the teen's. Placing two finger's to his forehead, he disappeared in second's. One by one, the teen's dropped to the ground as Goku reappeared.

"Knocking them out would have been the best choice to do first," Piccolo recommended.

~~~~~~~~n.n

Pan's eye's shot opened, she looked up to see a white ceiling. Slowly, she started to sit up.. but cringed as the pain was slowly coming back to her. Looking around the room, she quickly recognized it to be her room.

Shifting her glaze toward's her window, she could seen the Sun was beginning to set. So it wasn't that long she's been sleeping. "Mom," Her voice cracked.

Soon, Footstep's could be heard coming fastly and the door parent's rushed to her side. Videl placed a hand on her Daughter's Forehead, and gave her a sad smile. "How're you feeling, sweetie?"

"Horrible." Pan answered simply. Then something came across her mind, and she gasped as she sat up slightly. "Where's Natsume?!"

"Don't worry. He's in the Guest bedroom." Gohan answered, pushing her back down.

Pan sighed in relief to hear this, But still tried to get up. "I want to see him."

"Not in your condition, you aren't. And plus he's still unconscious." Videl frowned slightly. "Are you cold? Your shaking like a leaf."

"She's been like that since I've got her," Gohan said.

"Gohan, That's not healthy."

"I want to see him," She said, cutting into her parent's conversation.

"That's enough, Pan. Now you are not allowed to move unless you have to. End of discussion." Gohan cutted short, before standing and heading toward's the door.

Videl leaned over to brush some fallen strand's of hair out of Pan's. "He's just worried, Pan." She leaned over and grabbed the glass of water that was sitting on the nightstand. "Eat this and then get some rest." Pushing the half green bean through her lip's, she pushed the rim of the cup to her mouth. Kissing her forehead, she placed the cup down before heading toward's the door.

After a few second's Once the door closed, Pan sighed in annoyance. She could slowly feel the medicine working slowly and that was enough. She was determined to see him if it was the last thing she did.

She struggled to keep quiet as she slowly sat up. Once she got in the hall's, she made sure to keep quiet as she slowly made her way down the hall. She could hear her Parent's talking softly down stair's.

~~~~~~~~n.n

"I've never seen her so mad before..." Gohan exclaimed, crossing his arm's over his chest, shaking his head lightly.

"How was she like?"

"Aggressive..Filled with a lot of rage."

"You don't think that started because Natsume was hurt, do you?"

Gohan stared at his wife with a hard stare, know full well her meaning behind her word's. "No." "I have many idea's of how it could of started, but in the end, it won't make any sense to us since we barely know anything." Said Gohan. "And Goten also..Never in my life have I witnessed Goten like that either."

"Who was he fighting?"

"Bra." Gohan crossed his hand's over his chest as he glanced down at their floor. "Goten was never the one to pick a fight unless it was absolutely necessary."

"You mean actually fist fighting?"

Gohan nodded. "And it's not like Bra to do something to get him That mad. It's...I don't know. There's obviously something going on with them."

Videl rose to her feet and grabbed the third cup. "I'll see if I can talk to her."

"It's useless Videl." Gohan exclaimed, waving the thought away.

"Don't underestimate the power's of a Mother, Gohan." She gave him a smile as she turned to head up the stair's. But just as she was nearly at the top, she stopped once she seen her daughter in front of the guest bedroom. She watched as she struggled to go inside.

Perching her lip's slightly, Videl turned around and walked back down stair's. She sat back down and placed the cup down before grabbing her own, and sipped it lightly.

"What happened?"

"She's asleep." Videl easily lied.

~~~~~~~~n.n

She closed the door quietly behind her and leaned against it, letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Shit, sneeaking into this room was even more challenging than the battle she just came from.

She shifted her glaze toward's the teen boy who was struggling to sit up, and despite the pain she was in, she let out a small laugh. "You shouldn't try to get up." She said softly.

He let out a small chuckle. "Speak for yourself, Son.."

She couldn't help but smile at that. He hasn't called her that in a while now. Pushing herself off the door, she slowly made her way toward's the bed. She glanced toward's the night stand and noticed the small bean and untouched Water and grabbed them. "Here, take these. It'll help take the pain away and restore your energy." She explained, holding it out toward's him.

Natsume did as he was told and put the now empty glass back on the night stand. Slowly, he moved over and she climbed right in. Helping him lay back down, She rested her head on his shoulder and held him close to her.

Natsume couldn't help but let his mind wander back to earlier's event's. He couldn't believe he had lose. He knew the table's was going to turn, but didn't know it was going to end bad on his part. Well..it didn't matter now. What's done is done.. He's just going to have to wait until next time.

He was brought out of his thought's when he felt something warm rolling down his shoulder, and turned to see it was water. Shifting as best as he could with her in his arm's, he turned on his side. "Pan?"

She didn't respond and he felt another drop on his arm. "Pan." She pulled him closer and held him as she started trembling slightly.

Wrapping his other arm around her, he held her tightly as he rubbed the small of her back.

"I-I..Was scared for you.." Her small voice trembled as she spoke.

"Relax.." He whispered. "I'm still alive, if you haven't noticed." He joked.

Pan snapped her head up at him, a frown in place. "That's not funny!" She snapped, burying her head in his chest again. A small sob escaping her throat.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Stop crying, Pan. I'm fine." He assured her, but it little as she remained shaking in his arm's. He held her until she showed sign's of calming down.

When she looked up at him, she seen him frowning as he reached to wipe the trace of her tear's away, before brushing her bang's out of her face.

"Don't be so careless.." Pan lightly scold, sniffing lightly.

Natsume nodded lightly before leaning over to kiss her forehead, letting his lip's linger there for a few moment's before pulling away. He sat up on one arm, as his other hand rested on her hip.

He watched as she bit her lip in hesitation. "What's wrong?"

Pan looked at him, but just as fast, she broke away and drifted her glaze away. It was only moment's later when she stared back up at him as she slowly sat up. He watched as she leaned toward's him and closed his eye's half way when her lip's lightly brushed against his.

It was only second's when they parted, but didn't move away from each other. She hesitantly lifted her glaze on his to see it was hard. He was the first one to break the glaze as he switched to glance toward's her mouth, and that was enough to send her leaning in for more.

She gently forced him onto his back as she pressed her mouth against his, his bottom lip between her's. His hand rested on her thigh, giving it a small squeeze.

She boldly lifted her leg up and moved to straddled him. His tongue licked her bottom lip, and she opened it slightly, but that was enough for him as he slid his tongue between them. But it was when his tongue brushed up against her's that she pulled back.

Her face flustered greatly as she stared eye's wide at him. "S-sorry!"

He shooked his head lightly, dismissing it as he reached up to brush some hair out of her face and behind her ear. He watched as She shifted back slightly so she could rest her head in the crook of his neck. "Wanna tell me what that was for and why it ended so soon?"

Pan laughed lightly as she held him tighter.

"Why are you shaking?"

"I don't know," She shrugged. After a few minute's, she said, "..So, I don't think today's the right day for the twin's to come over." Pan said, her voice somewhat back to normal.

"Well don't beat yourself up about it. It's not like we was planning on fighting today so don't blame yourself. It was the bastard's fault."

"..But I guess it was also part of my fault. I did go up to their table. If I hadn't, then..I don't know. It just wouldn't had lead to this."

"It could had lead to worse for all we know, and it ."

Pan sighed. "Then tomorrow for sure. I just hope nothing else get's in the way again."

"I'll get them early in the morning then."

She held out her hand toward's him. "Come on, let's go down stair's."

He sighed as she helped him sit up.

Opening the door, they both slowly made their way down the hall. They peered down below to see the two adult's talking in hushed tone's before they felt their present's.

"Good, you both could get out of bed by yourself," Videl smiled. "But you shouldn't be up."

"Were feeling a bit better, Mom."

"Well since you two are both feeling better, why don't you both join us." Gohan motioned with his hand.

The two complied and slowly made their way down the stair's before sitting opposite from the two adult's. Pan sat a little too close to the boy than Gohan would have liked but didn't say anything as he seen her face more relaxed as ever when she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Pan, go help your Mother make some drink's." Gohan said, motioning toward's the Kitchen.

Pan sat up and frowned. She was about to protest when Videl stuck out her hand in front of her. Closing her mouth, she took her hand and let her Mother lead her out the living room, finally seeing what her Father was doing.

~~~~~~~~n.n

"What? I can't stay?" She stared at her Mother with a small pout.

"Nope! Apparently your Father want's to have a man to man talk with him. Respect his wishes since you did fight." She said, pouring tea in four cup's.

"But it wasn't my fault, Mom. You know I don't start fight's, just finish them!" She pouted more when Videl gave her a look. "But your going to be there!"

"Your Father can't say no to me, Sweetie." She giggled, passing her a cup. "And beside's, your Grandmother want's to see you,"

Pan furrowed her eyebrow's in confusion. "For what?"

"Well for one thing," She gave a small sigh as she crossed her arm's, giving her another look. "You haven't spent time with her ever since the funeral, and second, It'll be good. Knowing you, you'll try to ease drop on them."

Pan gave a little smile as she was pulled into a hug. She tried hard not to cringe at the pain. "You know me so well."

"Of course, your just like me," Videl kissed her on the top of the head before patting her daughter's behind. "Now go."

"Alright, alright. I'm going." She finished the tea before placing it on the counter and slowly limped her way into the living room. She watched as the two male's was having a staring contest with one another. With a roll of her eye's, she slowly came to stand in front of the older Man, forcing him to break away first and glanced up toward's her. "Bye daddy." She kissed the top of of his temple before hugging him, which he accepted.

"And where are you heading off too so early?" Gohan questioned, eyeing her.

Mom is sending me to Grandma's house," Pan answered, moving toward's the teen. She kissed his cheek before smiling innocently at her Father. "Go easy on him," She said, making her way to the door.

"Will do," Gohan said sarcastically. Once the front door closed, he waited until he felt her energy slowly trail away before speaking. "So, Natsume.." Gohan began, leaning forward slightly. "Tell me about you."

Natsume blinked but nonetheless, complied. "Well I'm pretty sure Trunks told you some thing's about me, correct?" He watched as he barely nodded. "Well I can assure you that I'm probably not what he explained I was."

"He claim's that you was dangerous; you have power's; you tried to kill him, and your trying to hurt Pan."

"I would say were all dangerous, that the fact we all have power's. I will admit, I would say I did try to kill him, but I had a good reason. You see me as a threat, but I'm not the one who is repeatedly beating your daughter for her attention."

"What do you mean?" Gohan frowned.

"I don't know if you know this or not but Trunks as been replaced as Pan's new best friend, and he's not too happy about that. Not that I care whether he's happy or not but still. And I'm alway's stopping him from trying to cause her any more distress but anything I do, he still find's his way back to her." He seen the hard look he was receiving and resisted the urge to roll his eye's and sigh out. "If you don't believe me or your own Daughter, then may'be you need a third witness. Why don't you ask Goten?"

"..I'll keep that in mind, Now..Back to you... What is your intention's with my Daughter?"

"I have none except being her friend. Nothing else."

He leaned forward and squinted his eye's slightly. "You haven't been fooling around with her emotion's?"

"No Sir."

Gohan leaned back after a few second's later. "Tell me about your background, Son."

Natsume glanced toward's the floor, thinking of the right word's to say. "Well..There's not that much.. I just recently found out that my Father has a twin sister. I assume you know 18."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"..My Father is 18 brother." He repeated.

"17?"

Natsume shifted his glaze to the side for a second before meeting his glaze once more. "If that's what you call him.. His real name is Lapis, if you did know."

Gohan took this new piece of information into thought, and rubbed his chin. "Wow.. So, you know your part Android."

"I had a feeling since no ordinary human can posses power's."

"No, it is possible. 18's husband, Krillin posses some of our qualities such as flying, performing some techniques."

"I also have two other brother's, one older one and a younger one."

"17- I mean, Lapis had more kid's?!" A smile broke out as his face flustered ever so slightly. Whether he noticed it or not, it seemed as if Gohan was slowly starting to ease up in his present's, and he was glad.

Videl then made her appearance and sat next to her husband. Natsume listened as Gohan told his wife the new piece of information. Videl turned toward's the boy and smiled. "So he's apart of the group? Pan would be happy-"

"That hasn't been decided yet." Gohan's face went back to his solid expression as he glanced back at the boy. He got more comfortable in his seat before asking his next question.

"Have you ever had sex before?"

"Yes,"

~~~~~~~~n.n

Pan knocked on the door repeatedly before bouncing in place. It was only second's until the door opened. Chichi smiled brightly and was about to greet her granddaughter when she zoomed past her, yelling Bathroom.

Chichi blinked, not expecting that, but smiled when she felt the small teen's lip's on her cheek before taking her leave once more. She closed the door and made her way into the living room.

When she finally returned, she floated in front of the Women with a bright smile on her face, despite of what she might look like.

Finally getting a good look at her appearance, Chichi's eye's widen as she stood up and placed her hand's on her shoulder's. "My God," She breathed. "Videl told me what happened but I didn't know it was this bad."

"Yeah.." Was all Pan could say as she rubbed the back of her head lightly. "But I'm alright now."

Chichi frowned at her. "Don't let this happen again, Pan."

She bowed her head slightly. "I'll try my best, Grandma."She looked up when she felt her hand land on her head. "Where is Goten by the way? I didn't see him upstair's."

"Oh he's just training with his Father and Vegeta." She took a seat across from the small teen and glanced at her warily. "Trunks was also heading over there as well."

Pan's glaze lifted up at his name. "Hn."

"..Speaking of Trunks..How is he?"

"How should I know?"

"Well you are his best friend..Female best friend that is.. It's just ashamed his grandparent's had to pass away like that.. It's still a mystery of how they died..Someone breaking in and entering at a place they live.. It's crazy..." Chichi sighed. "They must be good if they didn't even leave a trace."

"You don't think the person could of..I don't know, already had access to the house?"

"Not that I know of. Bulma wouldn't just give an employee access to her home, Pan."

Pan swallowed the hard lump in her throat. "Uh, can we stop talking about him?"

Chichi seen the uneasy look on her face. "Did something happened between you two? I heard about what happened to you on the full moon and I'm so sorry that there wasn't anything I could of done."

Pan waved a hand, dismissively. "Don't worry about it, but um, yeah..were..No longer friend's anymore...I-I don't really want to talk about it.."

"Oh okay, just know you can come to me when there's a problem, okay?"

"Yeah, thanks."

Chichi leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "Good. Now, let's make some snack's and watch a movie."

Pan's face automatically brightened up at the mention of food. "Okay!" She ran past the older Women. Chichi could only smile at her.

"So, what are you in the mood for?" Chichi questioned, putting on her apron.

Pan placed a finger under her chin in thought. "How about your famous homemade Cookies."

"Good choice." She tossed Pan an extra apron before getting out the material's. All the while, she kept glancing toward's the small child to see the smile never wavering. And that could only mean one thing.

"So who's the boy?"

And just as she predicted, her face redden as she squealed out a, "What?"

Chichi placed a hand on her hip as she smiled knowingly. "Pan, I can smell him on you."

Pan sniffed herself and she did indeed smell like Natsume. "No," She laughed. "It's just..Well he's not my..."

Chichi gave her a knowing look. "If that's the case, then his scent shouldn't be that strong on you, Pan. Was there any kissing going on?" She tired to keep a serious look on her face.

"Grandma!"

Chichi held up her hand's up in defense as she laughed. "I'm sorry dear. It's none of my business."

Pan shooked her head lightly, laughing herself. "I-It's fine..It's just..I don't know.." She sighed.

Chichi turned to face her granddaughter. "Do you like this boy a lot?"

Pan fought to push the blush away. "I don't know, I guess.."

"Okay, tell me what it is you like about him."

"Well, just his personality, I guess. His smile, his laugh, his face, how he is around me, how he care's about me.." It went unnoticed to the teen but she casted a somewhat dreamy look.

"How can you tell he cares for you?"

"Well for one, I finally realized he was the one who stopped Trunks during the Full Moon, which I still need to repay him for, he's Very protective of me, specially when it come's to Trunks.. And Trunks is jealous of him because I've replaced him with Natsume in the best friend category, and..It's just been crazy between us three but I don't care. I'd rather have Natsume with me over Trunks any day!" Pan said strongly.

The older Women hummed in thought. "You feel really strong about him, huh? What did Trunks do to make you this mad?"

"..It's not Important," Pan started, waving it off. The last thing she needed was unwanted thought's returning. She would say this was a big step, taking her mind off him after all the year's she's been crushing on him, and now that she was finally started to get rid of those weird desire's for him, she did not want to go back.

She could easily tell there was something going on. "Pan.."

"It's nothing Too serious." Chichi gave her a look. "Okay, well Natsume is helping me deal with the problem so you have nothing to worry about."

"Well I still want to know, Pan. Have you even told anybody about the situation?"

"..Bra.."

"Pan,"

"And Vegeta sorta figured a little bit out, but if I can convince him to calm down a bit, then you should to! I got everything under control, Grandma."

"Well if you told Vegeta, then it must be something big. W-What? Is he hitting you?"

She watched as her face faltered slightly, but that was all she needed. "He's been hitting you and you've kept this to yourself?" She whispered, hurt in her voice.

"Grandma.." She sighed lowly. "It's nothing serious. We got into a little fight, but I'm okay now."

"What else? Has he Touched you inappropriately?!"

"Okay I think your going too far now," She said, frowning slightly, but even she could mask her true feeling's at the moment. "The full moon doesn't count!" She quickly said.

"But what about After the full moon?"

"No!"

"Pan, your lying!"

"No, I'm not!" She grabbed her Grandmother's shoulder's and sat her slowly back down. "He didn't touch me.." She spoke softly.

"Then what was the reason you left Trunks?"

"..How about we work on the Cookies?"

"Don't make me as you again."

Pan seen the seriousness in her Grandmother's face, and sighed under her breath. "O-Okay, may'be just one or twice but-"

"Twice?! Pan, what is wrong with you?" Chichi cried.

"Nothing!"

"Then why would you keep this to yourself?!"

"I told you Vegeta sorta know's!"

Chichi gave her one last look before storming out of the Kitchen. Pan quickly followed her and seen her picking up the phone. Her heart skipped a beat. "Who are you calling?"

"Your Father. If anybody should handle this, it's him." She shooked her head lightly. "I can't believe you would keep something like this a secret, Pan."

"Grandma, Please!" She tried to grab the phone, but Chichi held it out of her reach and gave her a hard look before turning back around. "Yes, Videl, Please pass Gohan the phone, it's something Important he need's to know."

Pan sighed as she ran a hand through her hair.

"Yes Gohan, I need you to come over now." Pan eye's widen at the older Women in disbelief. Why was she bringing her Father into this?!

"Grandma-" But before she could even finish her sentence, She jumped in alarm when her Father, Mother, And Natsume suddenly appeared before her.

Pan could feel her anger rise but before she could storm out of the house, Chichi called her name sternly. She pointed up the stair's, as she gave a hard stare. Pan lingered in her spot, glaring at the old Women before running up the stair's.

"Is everything alright?" He questioned, looking between the two.

Chichi kept her glaze on the child and sighed. "Gohan, follow her." She shooked her head lightly before motioning the other two to follow her.

After making tea, she placed it in front of her guest before taking her own seat. She looked over at the boy across from her. "Is this the boy that Pan replaced Trunks with?"

"Replaced?" Videl questioned.

"Yes, I am." Natsume answered.

Chichi reached across the table to shake his hand, which he did. "I'm Chichi, Pan's Grandmother, and Mother of Goten and Gohan,"

"Natsume,"

"So what was the problem again, chi?" Videl asked a moment later.

"It would of been best if Pan told you herself, but I guess she won't mind much," She laid her arm's on the table as she leaned forward. "How well do you know of Pan and Trunks' Relationship?"

She could picture Natsume's expression but couldn't turn away from the other women without seeing her expression yet.

"There best friend's..But they have been arguing a lot lately.. They just had a fight."

"Well there not best friend's anymore. Apparently Trunks has been assaulting Pan, and Natsume here, has been helping her through this. I appreciate that, dear, I do, but you shouldn't have kept quiet about this,"

"Trunks assaulted Pan..?" Videl questioned. "In what way are you referring to?" Videl questioned.

"Sexually," Natsume stated bluntly. "It started since the full moon incident,"

"Why didn't you say something?!" Videl screamed.

"I didn't say anything because I didn't know his cause. It could have been his Saiyan hormones running a muck, and if that was the case, you all would have noticed from the obviousness. Goten would have been the same, but because he's acting Almost like himself, that just shows it isn't his hormones acting up, but he's doing in his own free will. He's trying to scare Pan into leaving me for him which she won't, and even if she did, I wouldn't let that happen, knowing what king of person he is." He explained. "But even so, it wasn't my place to speak, it was her's. Also, if it Was his Saiyan side, what could I do?"

"Well if you would have just left her alone, he would have never even begin to assault her," Videl said.

He switched his stare toward's the Younger Women. "Don't you get it. It doesn't matter who it is, he would have still done it if it was me or anyone else he is jealous of. Just be glad it was me instead of a Human because he Would have tried to kill him, and succeeded in doing so."

"He tried to kill you?" Chichi asked this time.

"Yes. And I admit, I also tried to do the same." He seen the look they gave him but ignored them. "If someone is trying to kill you, you only got one option: Kill Them so you can stay alive." He stated. "But by all mean's, I'm no killer if that's what you want to hear. I just play fair." He placed his elbow on the table, his face in his hand. "And with no disrespect, but what could you possibly do? You two might have some fighting experience but your no match for a Saiyan when it come's to fighting as you are just Human's, and for the one's who Are Saiyan's, what could they possibly do? Give him a warning?" He questioned with an raised eyebrow.

Chichi was about to retort to his theory when they heard footstep's fastly descending down the step's.

They all turned to see Gohan storming out of the house, closely followed by Pan who was trying her best to calm him. But it seem's she failed in doing so as he blasted off into the night, his energy extremely high.

The three had followed the two, but stayed at a good distance back. It was obvious that she had shed a few tear's as it was seen when she walked by, so not knowing what to do at the moment, the three just settled with staring at the teen Saiyan as she tried to control her anger.

Chichi was feeling a little bad now, but didn't know why. Why wouldn't Pan speak up about this? She couldn't possibly have thought's of trying to save Trunks the beating he was to receive after doing such thing's to her, did she? If anything, she should want to get revenge on him.

But Thinking totally different, Videl ran up toward's her daughter and pulled the small child into a hug. "I am so sorry, Pan." Videl cried. She pulled back slightly, looking at her daughter with pained eye's. "Promise you will speak up if something like this happen's."

Chichi also walked up with a confused look as her expression. "Why are you upset?" Chichi asked the small child.

"Because none of you was suppose to even know!" Pan snapped, brushing off her Mother's hand's and started walking away.

"But where trying to help you, Pan."

"I don't mean disrespect but, what could you possibly do exactly?" All eye's turned toward's the Raven Haired teen. "I mean, sure, you could get her Father to beat the living shit out of him, but what would that accomplish? If I couldn't force him to stop, what make's you think Gohan could?"

"You have a point, Natsume, but did you forget that his Father is also a Saiyan?" Videl retorted. "And when Vegeta find's out what's been going on, I doubt he'll let Trunks continue on tormenting and harassing Pan."

"Your missing the point I was trying to get across. Vegeta can't watch him 24/7. Gohan can't. Nobody can. And since they can't keep an eye on him all the time, I'm pretty sure he could find a way to get to her."

Videl frowned lightly as she was at a lose for word's.

"What about Goten.." Chichi said. "He's already been keeping a close eye on Pan."

"Why are you bring everyone into my business!" Pan suddenly snapped, turning back around. She turned toward's her Mother angrily. "Why can't you just let me deal with my problem's on my own? I never once asked for your help to begin with!"

"Pan!"

Finally through with this nonsense, she snapped back around and was about to blast off into the air when Natsume grabbed her wrist. "Apparently you haven't been listening. Your not allowed to be alone."

"Well since my Father is now in this, I'm pretty sure Trunks has his hand's tied at the moment." Pan bit, snatching her wrist free. She blasted in the opposite direction her Father went into.

Hearing the older Women sigh, Videl placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Just let her cool off for now, and we'll try again tomorrow." Videl assured her. She began leading her back inside the house before motioning the young boy to follow.

Natsume shooked his head faintly. "It still wouldn't be wise to leave her alone,"

"Sweetie, Gohan's taking care of Trunks, along with Vegeta so I doubt he'll have his mind on Pan once their done with him, now come. And I still want to know more about the boy who caught my daughter's attention," She gave a small smile toward's him.

He was a little hesitant but agreed in the end, and followed the two inside.

~~~~~~~~n.n

"Goten, Focus!" Goku put his hand's on his hip's as he sighed loudly. "You'll never get it right at this rate. Okay from the top!"

Goten inhaled deeply before closing his eye's. Putting two finger's to his forehead, he blocked off everyone as best as he could as he started concentrating his energy.

"Concentrate!"

Goten vanished within second's, but reappeared in front of Trunks. Goten eye's widen when Vegeta's fist came down harshly on his face, sending him pummeling toward's the ground.

"What the- Brat! What are you doing?!" Vegeta screamed, watching the boy struggle to stand. From the left side, Goku's laughter roared into the night skies.

"Eheh. Sorry, Vegeta." Wiping a tear away, he said, "Alright, I think its time to switch! Goten already got it down, but still need to practice more."

Trunks slowly lowered toward's the ground, and began heading toward's the taller Saiyan. He tossed a glance Goten's way, who glared at him. Trunks knew why he couldn't fully concentrate. He was getting to him, he noticed. He wasn't over of today's clashing, but it didn't really matter to him one bit. He knew he could take him if he wanted, after all, he Doeshave His Father's blood running through his vein's, after all.

He heard a small growl escape the younger Saiyan's mouth, and his smirk just grew even wider.

Soon, his attention was drifted else where, as Another energy force was noticed.

"Gohan!" Goku greeted. "Ready to train?"

He Ignored his Father and started making his way toward's the Lavender haired teen.

Trunks slowly came to a stop, his eyebrow twitching to rise in confusion as he stared at the angry Saiyan. He could only wonder what could of gotten him upset now Only one thought could come up, and it was that Pan probably blamed him for the whole fight earlier. He could only mentally sighed, cocking his head to the side slightly. The girl just never learned her lesson.

Once Gohan was within range, he threw his fist into the side of his his face. But he didn't let up then. Fist after Fist, Trunks stumbled back before grabbing a hold of one of his balled up hand's. But that only did little as Gohan quickly jammed his knee into his side, before swinging him, forcing him into the air.

Gohan was ready to follow up after him, but was temporarily stopped by his Father.

"Gohan! What's gotten into you?!" Goku snapped, restraining his enraged Son.

"That Son of a Bitch is dead!" Gohan fused.

Taking his hand off his face, Goten walked up to the scene and crossed his arm's over his chest. He silently wondered what made him decide to take his anger out at him at this time of day. But the next few word's his brother had yelled out caused his anger to rise just as high.

"What?!" Goten snapped. He switched his glare toward's Trunks to see him staring at Gohan with the calmest face he's ever seen. And that just made his blood boil.

Vegeta snapped his head in his Son's direction and he had the nastiest glare he could muster. This had to be some kind of sick joke, but seeing his Son not react in the slightest, he knew it wasn't. "Trunks," Vegeta warned dangerously, turning to face his Son.

"Trunks," Goku started, using more of his strength to hold his oldest Son back. He met the young teen's glaze and glared hard. "Tell me this isn't true."

But the next thing he did, had them all raising their Ki's sky high. Trunks crossed his arm's over his chest and his demeanor changed from calm to the same look his Father had. "I don't think that's any of your business." He sneered.

"You Bastard!" Goten cried, charging at him.

Turning his attention toward's the younger Saiyan, he quickly got down into a fighting stance before charging at him as well, and soon they went into battle.

"Dad! Let go of me!" Gohan snapped, his struggling before more difficult to handle. Goku twisted his body so he could force the Younger man on the ground and pinned his arm behind his back.

He sighed deeply as he rubbed his eye's. He should force him to release Gohan to hand his ass over toward's him but he knew that wouldn't solve anything. He personally wanted to show him what's it like to take a royal ass whopping but just like he said, it wouldn't solve. Shit. So instead, he turned toward's the two adult's and glared. "Calm down,"

The two turned their attention toward's Vegeta. "What?! You can't be serious, Vegeta!"

Vegeta levitated back toward's the ground and walked toward's the two, paying no mind to the two fighting above. "I'll explain it only once, so pay attention. I don't approved his action's either but it's basically useless at this point to attack him."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Gohan snapped.

Vegeta glared at him, silently telling him to shut up. "Haven't you noticed they way all of them has been acting?" When no answer's was spoken, he continued. "Their bond. It's weak..but it's definitely there. As you can see, Your Brat has been spending more and more of her time with that Robotic child, and like any other Saiyan, they won't just sit still and watch their mate be taken. It's as if she's testing him, testing to see how far he'll really go to prove he want's her. And he has. And what made it worse was that she brought someone else in the mix making it even more hard to break it." He turned his glaze toward's Goku next. "Same goes for Your Brat. I don't know what Bra had done to get him this upset, but she did."

"But he hasn't acted like Trunks." Goku stated.

"Or may'be he has, just in a different way. Have you ever thought about that, Kakorot." Vegeta replied smartly.

Gohan shooked his head. "There's no way in hell Pan is doing that!" Gohan stated. "Do you not remember them fighting just a few hour's ago?"

"Did you by any chance get why they was fighting?"

Gohan's fist's shooked violently at his side's. "But even if that Was the case, I i thought you said she wasn't of age yet for the full moon to affect her."

"I did, but it could take place at any time. The only thing is, during the full moon, she wouldn't be able to control herself." He explained.

"Is there any way we can stop it?" Goku asked.

Vegeta gave them his back as he glanced up toward's the fight. "The only way is to either give them what they want, or to kill one of the pair's, but if the latter is done, the other will soon die as well."

"But I thought the bond was too weak. It shouldn't be a problem!"

"Even so, it's still there!" Vegeta snapped. "It's still going to be complication's in doing so. And what's worse, we don't even know Who the brat want's. Trunks or Natsume."

"But Pan doesn't want Trunks!" Gohan argued. He turned his glare toward's the skies where the fight seemed to grow more and more intense. He wish it was him instead of his little brother at the moment. He'd be sure to break several bone's of the little bastard.

"But he want's her, believe it or not."

Gohan scoffed. "I'd rather have Natsume with Pan than him any day!"

"But it's not what you want, it''s what they want."

"But I know what Pan want's, and it's not him!"

Vegeta turned so only one eye was visible. "Hn. Are you sure about that, Brat?"

~~~~~~~~n.n

She had felt her Father's energy had sparked to life, but soon her Grandfather was even higher. Then next thing she knew, Goten's and Vegeta's Ki was high, but surprisingly, Vegeta soon calmed down. But the same couldn't be said about her Uncle. And by the way two familiar energy's was high, she could tell it was the two teen's.

But that was an hour ago. She now took a small stroll through the forest she fought in earlier that day. She should had taken Natsume's warning's but what could Trunks do when there was angry Saiyan's after him. That should in least give her a few moment's to be alone and without any disturbance's.

She placed a hand on one of the slightly damaged tree's. Today was a big day, and it really took a toll on her. But She guessed it was somewhat good on her part as her Father was to going to teach her ex-best friend a lesson. She just wished she could be there to see the beating he received. But it wasn't all good either as they caused so much damage to this place .

Sighing again, she started walking again, not seeing the shadow just a few feet away..

May'be she should have taken Mariko's advice.. Nahh, Like Goten told her, it was pointless trying to talk to them, and knowing Trunks, he was probably the first one to throw the first punch at him, so it definitely was out of the picture. 'Why did thing's have to end up like this?'

So lost in her thought's, she didn't have a second to scream when a hand was slammed down on her shoulder, forcing her to turn around and her back forced into the tree harshly. Her lip's parted as a small gasped escaped them from the hard contact with the tree, and before she could get a scream out, he took that advantage and pressed his mouth over her's.

Pan's eye's widen from the sudden contact, but closed shut as she started struggling. She could feel her heart racing as panic started to drown her senses from shocked that someone was in her room, just waiting for her. How did they get in here? Why would they even think about coming after her? So many question's, yet no answer's came to mind. Re-opening her eye's: Getting a good look at the familiar face, she put her hand's on his chest and tried to give a powerful shove. She only succeeded in breaking the lip contact.

Her eye's held so much emotion's all at once: Anger, Sadness, and most of all..Confusion...

Why? Why was he here? Why was he doing this to her? Bringing unwanted feeling back up to the surface.. She just finally came to the conclusion that she might Actually like someone else, and here he was, trying to confuse her. Wasn't he suppose to be getting his ass handed to him at the moment?

Being lost in her thought's didn't stop him from intruding her space and bringing her head back toward's him, closing the small space between them. Her eyebrow's furrowed and her nail's clawing at his torso. The last thing she expected was to hear a light groan escape his throat.

Gripping her shoulder's, his foot easily slid under her's, forcing her down. She quickly scrambled to get into a sitting position but was forced back down as his body fazed out in front of her, pinning her shoulder's down.

She didn't want this..She didn't deserve this at all! Her hand's glowed, as they suddenly appeared in front of his face, but before she could set them off, he slapped her hand's to the side, forcing a hole through one of the tree's in the distance. He quickly intertwined their finger's together and gripped them tightly.

Her struggling soon came to a halt as he over powered her quickly. This gave her enough time to looked at his appearance. Many scratches laid upon his perfect skin, along with several bruise's, but the thing that scared her most of all was the fact that he looked as if he just took a beating, and yet he still has his energy, and most of all, the look in his eye's as he glazed down at her.

His bang's brushed her forehead as he leaned down. A ghostly smile graced his lip's as he stared her straight in the eye. Closing the small space between them, He smashed his lip's on her's, and her struggling started back up.

His teeth graved her bottom lip and lightly nibbled on it. He smirked when he felt her shiver underneath him, refusing to open. Squeezing her hand's in a vice grip, her mouth was easy to pry open, and a small scream escaped her throat. He took the time to swept his Tongue inside.

It was different from the last time he forced himself on her. Last time it was more forceful and demanding, but now..it's more desperate yet aggressive.

She could feel her face heating up, along with the rest of her body when his tongue brushed up against her's. Slowly, he moved one leg at a time, placing it between her's.

Instantly, one of her leg's shot up, but he quickly grasped her knee in a tight grip, slowly placing it back down. But that didn't stop her from clawing at his wrist. He swallowed her moan as he placed his other knee down, settling perfectly against her.

She quickly gripped his hair, yanking his head back. Her heart jumped when he let out a groan that sounded to- dare she say it- sexy. No. No.. No! She could Not have foul thought's of this situation. She needed to get away from him and Fast.

He broke away slowly, and they both took a much needed breath of air. Her eye's snapped opened and she glazed up into his eye's. Their chest heaved slightly, brushing against one another.

He kissed her jaw line before sighing. "You made me look like a fool earlier." He breathed out. He gave a bitter chuckle as their breathe's clashed together lightly. "Having Gohan, Goten, And My Father ganging up on me.. " His hand's slowly released her's, only to grab a hold of her wrist's. Another chuckle escaped his mouth as he shooked his head lightly. "Your really something,"

"Get the hell off me!" She hissed.

There was nothing that could of stop the forming smirk growing on his lip's as he stared down at her. "What do you think they could possibly do to stop me from seeing you?"

She didn't respond. She knew for a fact that whatever they do, wouldn't put a hold on him. So..What could she do? She was sure her Father would have at least broken his leg's or arm's, preferably the arm's so he wouldn't dare touch her, but knowing Vegeta, he might not let that happen, unless he did it himself, or worse.. Point is..It seem's as if they both had failed in trying to contain this bastard.

He lowered his head down to brush his lip's on her's. It was only second's until she turned her head away, causing his lip's to brush her neck. He only chuckled at her attempted and lightly bit her neck, having more option's to please them both.

"Ow." She hissed, moving her shoulder up to push him away before glaring at him. When he tried to kiss her again, he succeeded, but it only lasted a few second's less than the last one. "Stop it."

He sat up slightly, giving them a little space, and got comfortable on top of her. "So when he does it, it's acceptable?"

It didn't take that much knowledge to know who he was referring to. "Yes, because I allow him, not you." She said strongly.

Trunks' eyebrow's raised as he tilted his head away from her slightly. She could see the change in his eye's.

"So you actually let him put his mouth..on your's?" There was a hint of anger in his voice. Matched perfectly with his glaze he now had.

He licked his lip's, tasting a foreign taste that was driving him insane. Just the thought of someone's lip's on her's..just make's his blood boil. Specially Him...

He took her bottom lip into his mouth, sucking, biting, licking before moving his against her's. "I don't know why, when it was painfully obvious you had a thing for me before the little Bastard showed up." He whispered harshly, his hand's gripping her tightly.

"I-I Never had a-"

"Come on, Pan. No need to lie. I can see it in your eye's, the way you tease me in school..Always disappearing off to Kami know's where with him... You have no Idea how pissed I was seeing you with the like's of him. Bringing him to my house more than once..You really lost your mind, didn't you?" He shooked his in disappointment. "And then you had the nerves to kiss him right in front of me repeatedly!" His grip on her increased greatly and she let out a small cry. "So, what's stopping you now from having me?" He kissed her neck, trailing slowly up to her jaw.

"..Your Girl Friend, that is, If I was still into you, I mean."

"..Hm...If you was still into me, you say..You wanna know How I know your into me? Because you love what I'm doing to you..The evidence is in your eye's, your voice, your action's." He stopped, as his eye's drifted to the side as he was thinking of his next few word's. "It's cute that you want to play this little game of your's, but I refuse to allow him to touch what is mine, Pan. And you know how selfish I can be when it come's to the thing's I care most about," He growled.

Pan made a face. "Care about? You do horrible thing's to me because of your jealousy of being replaced, and last time I checked, I belong to no one."

He looked at her with determination in his eye's. "Is this a challenge?"

"Trunks, just get off me and I'll put this behind us..." Pan started, struggling once more.

He ignored her as his stare grew intense. "Because I can easily mark you as mine," She frozed in place once she heard this. Of course he tried to do this during the full moon, but that's because he was going through a faze. A dangerous faze that could have lead to even worse possibilities. But now that he was saying this on his own made her blood turn cold. She flinched when he ran a finger over the side of her face,. "And I can bet you everything I possess, you will do the same to me too..."

"Never!" She hissed. "I don't understand why you can't get it through your head that I don't like you!"

"Like I asked before, Is this a challenge, Pan?" He pulled up slightly to look at her neck, before his nail ran lightly on a certain spot, making her shiver slightly. He leaned down and started nibbling on her flesh.

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, closely followed by the heat circulating the room. "Trunks stop..You have a girl friend..."

But she was once again Ignored as he bit down harder on her flesh. He moaned lightly with her, and slowly started grinding his hip's into her's. Her eye's widen as she gasped loudly at the movement. It was slow, but rough. He moved a hand to squeeze her breast's tightly, causing her back to arch into him. She met his hip's as he grind his hip's into her's, and she let out yet another cry. "See how easily I can get your body all riled up?" He said lowly. He dipped his head low and began his assault on her neck.

In her mind, it sounded as a yell when she called his name, but in reality, it was far from a scold.

"Say it again," He murmured from her neck.

"N-No!"

He couldn't help but let out a chuckle that caused her heart to jump, and scare her slightly. He reached behind him and before she knew it, his hand's was around her neck.

She gasped, but was surprised she wasn't being choked like how she expected, but she did feel slight pressure on her neck though. Her hand's quickly came up to her throat when he removed his own hand's, and her eye's widen in fear. "What's this?" It was only second's when she started to feel her energy drain from her body a great deal.

His hand's quickly dived for her shirt and ripped it apart, the button's flying everywhere. Pan's arm's hit his chest but they didn't have any type of affection on him. She couldn't even charge up! His hand's quickly landed on her stomach, feeling how soft her flesh was. He couldn't wait to have her creamy white flesh soon be covered with in his bite mark's.

His hand's slowly rose until they reached her Bra. His eye's remained locked with her still growing bust, and he stared at it hungrily.

Her hand''s came up to her chest, fear filled in her eye's. She started shaking her head. "No,"

Ignoring her please's, his hand's slid inside and grasped her bust, his lip's brushing against her soft spot. She felt him arch her back into him, as a loud gasped escaped her being. "Ahh!"

His thumb brushed against her nipple's, going in circular motion's, as his tongue did wonder's on her neck. She couldn't believe this was happening right now. The same teen, who was blind to her affection's, goes out with her ex-best friend, and now is cheating on her with her. She couldn't let this go on any further.

She inhaled deeply, but before she could even scream, his mouth covered her's, making her scream's muffled by that one kiss.

Her nail's weakly clawed at his back, as her free hand weakly gripped the back of his hair, causing him to moan lightly. He started to grind his hip's into her's once more. He easily pried her Mouth opened. And Once his tongue brushed up against her's, a chill ran down his spine as his heart started to beat faster.

Trying to push his tongue out with her's, she failed miserably as he continued to toy, and tease her. An irritated whine escaped her throat.

A small feeling growing in the pit of her stomach

He trailed butterfly kisses down to her jaw, her neck, her collar bone, the top of her chest, the middle, her stomach, he dipped his tongue in her belly button, before going to where her pant's started..

"Ow! Trunks stop!" She yelled, when his hand brushed up against her cut.

He just smirked and continued his assault on her lower abdomen. His hand's fondled her chest, and her hand's came up to his wrist's in a weak attempt to stop him.

Seeing the discomfort on her face, he gently rubbed his hand's on her side's, pulling himself back up. He grasped the back of her head and pressed his mouth against her's in a desperate kiss. A small whimper escaped her lip's as the tear's finally made it's appearance.

He didn't understand what it was, but just hearing that sound crushed him. He broke away and buried his head within her neck, softly muttering soothing word's. He brought his mouth back to her's, and surprisingly, her lip's hesitantly pushed upward's. And that was all it took in him to deepen it.

What the hell was she doing?! He was only using her for his own selfish need's! But she didn't understand why she was feeling this way.. And she hated that only he could make her feel this way...

She know the right thing to do was tell him to lay off while she had him right where she wanted him..But it all came down to the question: Did she really want him to stop?

She bit his lip lightly, asking for entrance. He readily opened as he moaned lightly against her.

~~~~~~~~n.n

He's emotion was blank as he started to re-button her shirt. Once he was done with the small task, he looked down at her still slightly trembling form. He turned her head slowly back toward's him, and leaned down to kiss her. His tongue easily pushed it's way inside her mouth and toyed with her's. Once he broke it, he exhaled deeply in her ear. "God your addicting.." He breath, biting her earlobe. "You know, seeing you have a small make-out session with the Bastard, it drove me crazy. And I wondered why would something so small like that set me off, and after a little thinking," He finished his last button, and lifted his glaze into her watery one's. "And a little, experimenting," He lowered back down to her face to bite lightly on her neck. "I came to realize I was addicted to you.."

She lifted her glaze slowly and stared into his unreadable eye's. "..S-so what? Are you saying you love me..?"

"I love Marron, I'm addicted to you,"

Ouch.

"..I'm not seeing the difference here," Pan muttered.

"You will soon," He lowered his head down, but she only turned her head slightly.

"Trunks..I can't Do this! I can't.." She gripped his wrist's with every little drop of energy her body contained. Her eye's began watering, but she refused to let any tear's fall.

"And she say's this now." He joked, cracking a smirk as he tilted his head at her. "You really need to stop saying thing's you don't mean, Pan. So tell me, what's stopping you from having me. I'm here.."

"No, your not. Your mile's away from me, and for the first time, I'm actually glad where not close anymore! I don't want this, Trunks!" The tear's finally spilled from her eye's slowly dropped the glare she held, turning into nothing but sadness.

"And what about what I want?" His voice came out a little aggressive as he tightened his grip on her wrist's.

"You want to use me," She hissed.

"I want you,"

"Yeah, as a side buddy for when you and Marron get upset with each other or when your bored. I'm not that type of girl, and I deserve better."

"I could give you what you want, what you need, Pan.. Just say yes to me.."

"No!"

And just like that, his aggressive attitude changed to mischievous as he gave a wicked smile. "But your so..alluring," He growled, biting the hollow of her throat, before trailing his tongue up, only stopping once he got to the corner of her mouth.

Pan teared her eye's away from him as something moving could be seen in the distance. Once the figure could be seen, she gasped in horror as he fell to his knee's before meeting the ground face first.

"Goten!"

"Oh yeah," His smirk grew larger as he sat back up. "I didn't beat him up too bad like how I wanted, but hey, It was enough to get him off my back so I could play with you," Looking down at her, he placed his finger under chin, slowly turning her head back toward's him. "Just how many did you sent after me?" He laughed. "You've done a lot lately that wasn't entirely fair," He leaned down and began kissing along her jaw line. "Why don't we end thing's here?"

Her eye's widen when she felt his fang's lightly graze her bottom lip. No! He was Not going to mark her! She was not going to let this happen without putting up a fight!

But first thing's first, she needed this contraption off her fast. For some reason, she had a feeling it was the cause of her energy dropping.

He strained his neck so his mouth could be near her's and began soaking it with his saliva.

"Trunks!"

"..Hm?"

"L-let's make a deal!" She cried.

This seemed to perk his interest, but didn't stop his assault, only moved back to her jaw line. "Go on,"

"..I-I'll say yes to you..If you take off this thing on my neck." He pulled away slightly and looked at her. "It's draining my energy,"

The last thing she expected was a smirk and his chuckle. "It's suppose to, Pan. Can't have you tracking the other's, now can we? You have the same power level as an ordinary human."

"W-what about you? Once they notice I'm not home, their going to look for me." Pan challenged.

"You have a good point, Pan. But I'm pretty sure this would be the last place they'll look for one, Goten's energy is also low. Second, your energy being decreased to a regular human, and lastly, This." He pulled down his left sleeve to show a small device. "And with this little device, My energy is completely erased!" He laughed. "And beside's, even if I did take it off, what do you plan on accomplishing? It would take a while for your energy to completely be restored, and did you forget I can over power you? I'm the strongest one in the group!"

Her eye's widen in defeat. What was she to do now?!

Hearing fast footstep's approaching, and he sat back up straight, exhaling deeply. He could feel his irritation slightly rising. He didn't have to turn around to figure out who the intruder was, but he did to give the person a smirk.

Natsume stopped in his spot, once seeing the two. "Natsume.." She whimpered.

His eye's switched from her to him.

Trunks sighed. "And the buzz-kill finally arrive," He climbed off of the small teen and pulled her up with him. Pan stumbled against his chest, barely holding her weight.

"What are you doing here?" Natsume demanded, taking a step closer.

Trunks was basically holding the teen up now, but continued to smirk nonetheless. "I could be asking you the same thing.. Your sort of interrupting something between us at the moment," He pulled Pan closer and his mouth landed on her's mouth.

Her leg's almost gave out as she tried to free herself. When he finally let her go, she did fall to her knee's this time, breathing slightly heavy. "Feel free to leave,"

Natsume switched his eye's back on her, wondering why she wasn't moving away from him.

Trunks stuffed one hand in his pocket deeply and cocked his head to the side. He walked up to the two and leaned down to brush his lip's on her's.

Natsume growled out loudly as he thrusted his fist toward's his face, but missed when as he was no longer there...

Pan fell to her knee's and hand's. He quickly turned to her and lifted her up into her arm's. He carried her toward's her bed and gently placed her on her bed.

He started un-doing her shirt when she reached out for him. Her eye's was filled with tear's as she pleaded with them. "No, Don't."

He sighed lowly as he stared down at her. "Pan,"

"Natsume."

Pan's hand slowly dropped back to her side and her bottom lip poked out slightly. He ignored the look she was giving him and continued un-buttoning her shirt. Once done, he stared at her bruised skin. The finger mark's on her chest, the bite mark's that laid everywhere.

"Why didn't you stop him?" Was the first thing he said, his anger clear on his face. He then looked at the thin metal plate around her neck. Seeing the thin metal neck brace, he didn't even need to ask what it was as it looked like an updated model of the first one she first had before.

His hand's gripped the necklace in a tight grip, and tried to yank it off. Pan's hand's quickly came to his wrist's to stop him.

~~~~~~~~n.n

The phone ranged loudly through the wall's of their home.

Videl quickly rushed over toward's the phone and answered it. "Hello?!"

"Videl?"

"Natsume?! Have you seen Pan? She isn't here...What?"

Natsume tried his best not to sigh as he grew even more irritated. "I said Pan is staying here for the night."

"Excuse me, I didn't give her permission to leave! What is she even doing outside at a time like this?!" She ranted.

"Could you please put Gohan on the phone?" He asked annoyed. It was a few minute's until he heard Gohan's voice on the other line.

"Is she alright?" His voice was low.

"No, she's not. Which is why I'm keeping her here for the night." He glanced toward's the sleeping teen on the couch before continuing. "Apperently Trunks got to her and it doesn't look good. And Goten's not looking to well either, found him unconscious just a few feet away from them."

"Where are you now?"

After giving the angered Saiyan his address, he hung up the phone and started making his way toward's the back. Opening the door, he leaned against the door frame, shoving his hand's into his pocket's and just watched as her form barely moved. He had to squint his eye's slightly to see if she was breathing or not.

Pushing himself off the frame, he walked into the darken room. He stood at the side of the bed and glared at the metallic device. He had a hunch the device was the cause of her shortened breath, and it irritated him knowing that he couldn't do anything.

These Saiyan's must be the real thing when it came to choosing their mate's. But the question was, why was he acting so possessive if he hasn't marked her yet? Or he hope so he hasn't yet.

His hand's immediately moved to the top of the shirt he leaned her and pulled it down slightly, turning her head to the side to get a good view of her neck. There doesn't seemed to be any thing serious, meaning nothing deep, but there was many scratches, bruises, cut's and hickey's.

Fishing her shirt, he sighed irritably before taking a seat on the edge of the bed. He had meant what he said earlier. Trunks did have the power to finish him off for good. It didn't make any sense to him when he woke up in someone's house, only to find out that he was resting in one of the Son's guest bedroom's.

To him, he shouldn't have woken up. He should have been dead, but he wasn't. And it just confused him even more when he realized that he had actually let him live. Was this kind of sick game of his or something? The bastard hated his gut's yet, he let him live.

But even if he did put distance between him and Pan, there's no doubt that she'll still put up a fight with him, which mean's he'll still continue his ruthless assault's on everyone who dare's come in between them.

So he was an Idiotic, perverted bastard who get's jealous easily.

Yeah, that fitted him nicely.

He lifted his head up slightly once he felt a familiar energy coming in close. With one more sigh, he stood to his feet and proceeded to exit the room.

Entering the living room, he glanced back over to the couch where Goten laid. He had also provided the teen with his clothes as well and did his best to cover up most of his cut's, but that only did little as the pain still reflected on his face. Carefully as he could be, he re-ajusted his form to a much better.

Soon rapid knocking on the door caused him to glance up. "It's open!" He called out, knowing who it already was. He didn't lift up his head up to greet the older Saiyan.

Gohan crouched down beside him and placed a hand over Goten's forehead. "How long ago was this?"

"Not to long. An hour the most as I had to tend their wound's."

Gohan sighed lowly. "Where is she?"

"In the back." Natsume stood to his feet and proceeded to lead the older Man to the back. Switching on the light, he followed behind Gohan as he approached his daughter quietly.

Gohan looked closer and frowned. "What's around her neck?"

"The neck brace he put on her last time, only thing is, this one seem's to be an update." He moved to stand beside him. "Her energy's as low as a Human."

Gohan's hand gently brushed against the device. "Did you try taking it off?"

"I didn't want to hurt her and I doubt anybody could beside's him. Like I said, it's an update from the first one so may'be there was a possibility the first one could have been taken off but not this one. It would make sense for it to be even more difficult."

"And you say that you found Goten passed out just a few feet beside her?"

Natsume nodded. "I'm guessing Trunks did something to anger him again but what I'm confused is to why all three of them was back at the place we fought at."

"The bastard fucking played us."

"What do you mean?"

Gohan rubbed his hand's over his face, throwing his head back slightly. "After Pan told me what he's been doing to her, I was planning on beating the living shit out of him until my Father stopped me.. Vegeta was explaining how..she was testing him to see if he really wanted her and whatnot" He waved his hand dismissively. "It's a Saiyan thing, but beside's that, I'm thinking he's running away from Goten as he pursuit's him, but he was only doing that, trying to separate him from us. And he must of locked on to her energy, leading them to the forest." He growled out lowly. "What the hell was she even doing out there in the first place?!"

"She stormed off after your little conversation. I warned her but she of course Ignored me. I was actually going to follow her, but your wife told me to stay back, saying to let her cool down."

Gohan sighed lowly, trying to cool his nerve's. "I appreciate what your doing, Natsume.. Thank you."

He nodded his head faintly. "No Problem. Now, what should we do from here?"

"I honestly don't Know.."

"Well I was planning on keeping Pan here." Gohan snapped his head toward's thee boy, and Natsume's eyelid's dropped mid-way. "Keeping thing's professional between us. Just helping out a friend in need."

The older Man sighed through his nose loudly. "And why would I ever agree to that?"

"Because you won't have much of a choice." Natsume said as a matter of fact. "Just like I was telling your Wife and Mother, It wouldn't matter who was watching over her. You could take your eye's off of her for a second and she'd be gone. None of you could watch her 24/7. It's impossible. So What I was suggesting was that she stay's here through the night's, just until we could come up with a better solution to stop the moron."

"And how would I know you wouldn't try and pull something? She's defenseless."

"If that was the case, don't you think I've would have done that already. And beside's, did she even mention my name when she confessed Trunks assaulting her?"

"You bring up a fair point, Son, but I still don't like the Idea."

"Like I said, I'm keeping this professional. I would never hurt her intentionally."

Gohan raised an eyebrow. "So you have caused her pain before?"

"More or less. She would already be hurt but I would do the right thing and place her aside while I'd finish what was started."

"Meaning?"

"I would restrain her from continuing any fight's with Trunks and knock her out," He said nonchalantly.

"..I will be checking in from time to time.."

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Sir."

"Gohan."

Natsume nodded his head faintly. "Gohan."

Gohan leaned down and kissed his daughter's forehead lightly as if not to wake her before turning toward's the door.

"I want you to call me when she wake's up." Gohan said. "And emergencies as well." Natsume nodded as the older Man ranted on.

"Gohan,"

Gohan turned to face the teen. "I have a question.. You've known Trunks longer than me. Tell me, why would he spare the person he hate's life when he had the chance to finish me off?"

"Who know's what's going through that head of his." He sighed, looking up into the dark sky. "It bring's satisfaction to Saiyan's knowing our enemies are defeated so I'm at a loss for why he decided to let you live." He stared at the boy's stoic expression and gave him an assuring smirk. "Don't worry too much about it. Everything happen's for a reason, right? And look at it this way, you get a second chance."

Natsume took his word's into consideration and nodded. After biding goodnight to the older Man, Natsume closed the door and locked it behind him.

~~~~~~~~n.n

He doesn't know what was going on with her lately, and he wish she would let him in to help her. It's as if she's slowly closing off her family for some reason..As if she couldn't trust them any more...

No, it couldn't be that.. She was just going through a small faze. He will keep her safe if it's the last thing he did...

Opening the door, he closed the door behind him and sighed. He walked into the kitchen where he knew his wife would be at. Pushing open the door, he seen her with a small frown upon her face. He waited for her to acknowledge him but after waiting a few moment's, it seem's as if she wasn't going to.

"Videl?"

Videl's head snapped up, looking alarm. But once she noticed it was just Gohan, she calmed down.

"I got a call from Pan's Principle earlier today but after what's been going on today, I completely forgot to tell you.."

Gohan moved to stand behind his wife's. His hand's coming on top of her shoulder's, gently massaging them. "Well what did he say?"

"He want's to have a meeting with us." She turned toward's him with a worried expression written on her face. "What do you think he want's to discuss?"

"Who know's, But it's probably not that bad."

"But it's from her Principle, Gohan."

"V, would you relax. Look, we've all had a rough day today, let's just get some sleep." Gohan aid, moving toward's the door.

"Wait, where's Pan?"

"I'll explain it after a shower," Gohan said, making his way up the stair's.

~~~~~~~~n.n

Before I get into anything, I wanna tell you about my friend who I just got hooked onto this website. It would really mean the world if you guy's would take the time to read his story. His name is, "ObliviousKage,"

-,- So..all of you might not know this but...It's summer time..And do you know what people do during Summer Vacation? They freaking relax!

But Sadly, Some people can't do that because School love's to torture people by disturbing our fun time. I feel as if you guy's are family so I have no problem saying that I have to go to summer school. It's no prob. saying that. Every- Okay, not everyone but mostly everyone has to go some point in their life time because either that they failed a test, or they failed a class, or because their teacher hate's their gut's and want's them to fail.

Good thing I don't have that teacher. I had one hot Science Teacher. (-,- Everyone had them.) and surprisingly, we just never got along, but despite that, I can tell he still liked me as a student. All teacher's do, no matter what the cause might be.

But anyway's, I start on Monday, August 4th. It's not so bad because it's the last four day's, and I only have to go because I failed my Global test.

I PASSED MY MATH TEST, GUY'S! A SOLID 65! YAHOOOOOOO!

-,- And I was, SOOO. CLOSEE to passing Global. I had a 61. ALL I NEEDED WAS 4 MORE POINT'S TO PASS!

I know how most people feel when dealing with difficult stuff that all you care about is Just Passing. Worry about high score's later. That's how I am, so I was freaking out when I got that 65 for math. A huge weight's been lifted off my soul and I'm proud. Lml.

But here's a funny story to that.

It blew me, my brother's, and our (Mostly his) Friend's mind. What blew my mind was that I had to take both Math and Global, right. So, I studied my ass of for Global right. Every night, I tried to do two page's, front and back. (It was a lot. Around 33 page's in total. Thank you, Sara! -,-) And when I seen the Math packet, I took one glance at it and was like, "I'm not gonna remember None of this Shit," and threw it across my room.

Now here's the funny part -,-

I found out that I freaking Passed my Math test, the one I did Not study for, but failed the Test I DID Study for. -,-

-,- That made my day cause it was funny as hell.

So...I know I've also been lazy. I won't lie, I got distracted because every time I type, I jam to music, then I start dancing all weird. (My brother caught me dancing million's of time's) And it got in the way of this, and I apologize for that.

But look on the bright side, It's Twice as long. Around 34,648 word's.

The next chapter I gave away some hint's to may'be one or two fan's. But because I love messing with you guy's, I'ma tell you one thing:

Who do you think would be next to be target by the mysterious silent killer?

Please leave any thought's, yell's for me about being late, and any guesses of who you think is next on the list.

P.S.: If there's any type of mistake. I apologize. I tried. I really did try to re-read it all but then I got slightly bored... Anyway's, let a girl know!

-Cassy. Laterz! n.n
