Chapter 8 Ai no aru basho- there will be love there.
Final.
****
If I come to a big corner and turn it, I'll start to run
I'll stop being confused
I don't know what will be before then
But to be strong
****
Pan flew through the skies, her eyes darting around trying to find the perfect spot before her ki was discovered. She fingered the 2 capsules in her pocket which held all her possessions. Finally spotting a mountain range ahead, she sped up. She landed on a rocky ledge, enjoying the peace and quiet, the forest and the rest of the mountain range in all its natural beauty, free of humans.
She sat down on a nearby flat rock, peering out into the sky. She wondered if this had been a good choice.
Had she overreacted?
She hated herself for being so unsure of her feelings. She hated how whenever she thought of him, she thought she would lose control and all sense of everything except for him. Maybe this was love. Maybe not. Being alone awhile would be good for her, she could sort out her feelings.
****
To say "I'll wait happily"
And the pleasure of waiting are now empty
I'm full of uneasiness, my worries are always unending
If I say my dissatisfaction there'll be no end
Give me the courage to stand and face everything, I believe
****
Sighing, she lay back on the flat rock, glaring up at the pink sky. The sun was setting in the distance, casting the sky with a rich pink glow. Unwittingly she thought back to the night before, when Trunks had thought she was asleep.
"Yes Pan. I kept my promise." He had said.
What promise?
She searched for the memory, wondering what he had been speaking about.
" Did you mean that Trunks?"
" Mean what? That you'll be a pretty lady?"
" Yeh...that and we'll be best buddys."
" Yeh. I meant it."
" Really? You promise?""
" Yes Pan. I promise."
That night on the Capsule Corp roof. The night when she was young and had a crush on him then...the night ...last night. Not only did she have a crush...she was hopelessly in love. He would always be with Ayako, where he would be happy. But she knew that she would never give up. She acknowledged it as useless, to wait for him, but she knew it was not meant to be. She knew that she would have to move on, but her heart would never let her.
Trunks knew. The kiss they had shared that night had said it all. But he probably didn't return the feelings.
Now that he knows, I can never go back. But it will give me the power to move forward.
Suddenly, a ki signature registered itself. She sat up to see Trunks flying towards her. She had been so caught up in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed. Quickly, she jumped off the rock, preparing to take off into the sky. Trunks was too fast for her and managed to grab her arm before she could fly off. His crystal blue eyes searched desperately in hers. Pan looked away, not wanting him to see how much she was hurting.
" Why did you leave?"
" ...I couldn't stay."
" Why didn't you say goodbye?"
" I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to leave if I had."
Trunks took Pan into a tight hug. Pan's face flamed at the full body contact. Trunks ran a hand through her silky black hair, holding her head close to his own.
" Don't ever leave like that again."
Pan bit her lip. She wanted so much to just say that she loved him. That she was the one who was supposed to be with him. But she was already too late, he had made a choice. Ayako. She vowed to save his happiness, at the cost of her own.
" Don't worry about me Trunks. You can see I'm safe...you can go back home now."
Pan untangled herself from Trunks and gently pushed him away. She turned away from him and retreated to the side of the rock face, hoping he would take off.
" What if I don't want to go home?"
She felt his hand on hers, pulling her once more into his embrace. Her eyes filled with tears as she struggled to move away. This time her body refused to listen to her, perfectly content to be with Trunks.
" Why do you have to make this so hard? Why?"
This time, Trunks didn't hesitate. Crushing his body against hers, he kissed her gently before making the conquest of her lips his goal as it became wildly passionate.
****
Love that's waiting for me
Love that's waiting for you
From there, I want to find a world that can flow away
There will be love there
There will be love there
Someday I want to live for someone
I lived bearing the guilt
Of the secret of this place
If I look around outside my range of vision
It seemed as without any purpose
I descended a stairway without even a handrail
In the middle of a black darkness
****
Pan's mind screamed at her, telling her to stop. When they seperated for air, she lifted her hand to touch her bruised lips.
You've cheated with Trunks...but you enjoyed it. Didn't you?
Pan's body answered for her as she allowed herself to be swept up in the passion of Trunks' embrace once more. She felt Trunks' finger trace her jawbone and neck, his lips following his finger's lead. Tilting Trunks' face back up, she threw the guilty thoughts out of her mind, content in savouring this new feeling. Unafraid and adventurous, she crushed her lips to his as her fingers tangled in his soft lavender hair. Both lost themselves in their need for eachother, drowning in the intensity of their kiss.
****
I believe in "a future that's connected by fate"
I keep telling myself that we'll meet in a happy coincidence
I believe that I'll have the courage
To cut the thread of lying and face the truth
Yeah, I believe
Love that's waiting for me
Love that's waiting for you
I want to be enfolded in the unchanging kindness of eternity
There will be love there
There will be love there
I want to live for that one I love
****
" Trunks...we shouldn't be here together."
Pan lay on the flat rock, this time with Trunks by her side. Their hands gripped each other tightly between them as the glared at the stars, more evident in the cleaner mountain environment.
" Why not?"
" Because you have...Ayako."
Trunks propped himself up on his arms to stare into Pan's worried eyes to reassure her.
" Pan...I know she said some things to you. But whatever she said is wrong. I want to be with you...it has nothing to do with Ayako."
" Really? Promise?"
" Yes Pan. I promise."
Pan laughed, remembering the night all those years ago.
" Trunks...do you remember the night we talked-"
" On the Capsule Corp roof. I made a promise didn't I?"
Pan threw her arms around his neck with joy.
" I thought you forgot."
" Of course not! You upheld your end of the bargain."
" whats that?" she asked innocently.
" You grew up to be a pretty lady...more than that. Breathtaking."
Pan blushed in the dark, brushing Trunk's long fringe out of his eyes.
" What about your end of the deal?"
" I seemed to have failed." Trunks answered, his eyes twinkling with mischief in the starlight.
" Oh and whys that?"
" We're more than best friends. I love you Pan."
Pan smiled, thanking Dende for this moment. It seems belief and hope and prevailed.
" Hmm...I think I like why you failed...just so happens that I love you too."
The couple met in a gentle kiss, which became deeper and more passionate. They didn't care where their love led them, as long as they were together.
****
In all ages, from everywhere in the world
The direction of the blue sky, the direction of the starry sky
The illusions and glittering of unknown things, miracles that come around again
So love that's waiting for me
Love that's waiting for you
From there, I want to find a world that can flown away
There will be love there
There will be love there
I'll search for that important shining light
I'll start running and then in that place
I want to live for the one I love
I believe there will be love there
****
There was.

Author's note: Yay! Finished! You don't know how much pleasure I extracted just WRITING Owari on something legally! Wahooo! I think the ending could stand to be better. Maybe I edit later...somewhere down the track. But I think I've been watching too many corny romantic chinese soap operas...erk ^__^.
Anyway back to writing the untitled fic ( major writer's block for that story but I'm getting over it). I had fun with this...thanks for coming along for the ride. Believe me, hassling me with reviews always makes me write more...most of the time anyway! Please R&R!!!!!
