*** The evening ***

Trunks kept on thinking about Pan, not just because her state yesterday that made him worried, he just thought about her in general. He couldn't concentrate on anything. He decided to go get the diamonds to do something before his mind exploded. He stood up and flew to the spot Pan told him. He cleared his mind and thoughts and concentrated solely on reaching his goal. With a breath intake he plunged into water.

Pan felt Trunks' Ki and then it faded and faded. She sat up in her bed and wondered why his ki was floating away. She grabbed a sweater and flew to where his Ki was coming from. She flew to the waterfall and realized he was looking for the diamonds. She sighed an awkwardly felt good that he was safe. "Lady Pan" She heard the familiar voice of Prince Von. She turned around to see him walking towards her. She quickly thought of a reason to go somewhere else with the Prince because if Trunks was caught..."Hello your Highness" Pan politely curtsied. He took her hand and raised her up from the bow.

"Your Highness I am starting to get cold. May we go somewhere else?" She asked urgently.

"Of Course" He said as he put his jacket around her and held her waist to guide somewhere else.

Uncomfortable, Pan slightly shifted in his arms. They got to the palace. "Will you attend me to my apartments? I have something to tell you" He asked her. Trying her best to draw any attention to Trunks retrieving the diamonds, she quietly nodded.

The large marble framed doors closed behind her. She sat down on one of the elegant armchairs. He handed her a glass of Pink champagne. "Your favorite isn't it?" He smiled.

"Your grace remembers" Pan gulped down the drink.

"Of course I remember" He slyly smiled that suddenly gave Pan an eerie chill. He poured her another glass.

Pan mocked a toast and gulped down another glass in aiming to forget about Trunks' for a split minute. She drained two more glasses. After all she was a sayjin and alcohol hardly affected her. The room suddenly got extremely hot. She took off the jacket the Prince handed her earlier. The Prince sat on his bed and kept on smiling at her. 'What are you smiling at??' Pan wanted to ask but her brain wouldn't function. The room started to spin...what the hell did she drink?

"Hello there..." Pan started to walk towards the Prince. Her hands moved down to her cardigan sweater. Her long fingers trailed her neck and unbuttoned the first button. The Prince snickered. "I feel so hot...don't you feel hot?...and wet and sweaty" She said touching her stomach. "Its working" The prince thought. The Prince walked up to her and unbuttoned the rest of her cardigan and revealed a black bra. He guided her back to the bed and laughed quietly in triumph.

Trunks got out of the water and smiled at his diamonds. Suddenly he felt odd. There was something wrong. "Pan" He dropped the diamonds into the water and followed his instinct to where she was. "The Prince's chambers?" He thought. "What would she be doing there?" He pondered. "There something wrong...It felt like Pan was helpless...but she was powerful what would keep her from doing anything?" He walked under the Prince's grand balcony...and the feeling grew stronger. "Pan was in danger" Suddenly surprise rage boiled inside him. He flew to the top of the balcony and saw the Prince...trying to take advantage of her. He observed and saw and felt that Pan was ...was drugged. "He drugged her? What the --" With a swift movement he knocked the prince out of the way and carried Pan off the bed. Her exhausted body lay limp in his arms. He looked down and noticed that she was in her undergarments [with her pants unbuttoned]. He quickly took a blanket and covered her body.

"You bastard" Trunks glared at the Prince.

"You be well and give her back to me Trunks" The Prince silently warned.

"You asshole! Taking advantage of girls whom can't defend themselves? Its sickening Von" Trunks started to walk to the balcony. He felt a sharp blade against his neck. Droplets of water slide of Trunks' hair down onto the sword, silence and tension made the sound seem loud.

"Give her back to me" Prince Von started "...or you imagine the consequences"

Trunks turned around with the blade still at his neck. His hand came up fast and snapped the blade in pieces. He raised his hand and exerted a powerful ki blast; The Prince flew to the other side of the room. He managed to stand up and spat out blood.

"You will pay for this" The Prince threatened.

Trunks flew into the Forrest and found a quiet clearing. He set Pan down. She still was covered in the sheets. Her hair spilt over her shoulders and the covers. "Pan...wake up Pan" He whispered to her. Her eyes were closed locking away the beautiful eyes. Trunks just sat there looking at her in amazement. She was beautiful. Her hair jet-black accented by the moonlight cascading on each strand. Her lips full and looked very soft...Trunks shook his head to clear his mind of any thought of attempting to kiss her. Her eyes started to flutter. "Pan?" He whispered. She shifted in his arms. He sighed. He grabbed a capsule out of his pocket and it turned into a small house. He walked in with Pan still in his arms. He sat on the bed with her still in his arms. He sat waiting for her to awake.

Pan's eyes slowly opened and she saw his face. Trunks' face. As if a natural reaction, she smiled. Then she realized she was on his lap. He fell asleep. A strand of purple hair fell on his face. She reached up to brush it away. Her movement made him wake up.

"You're awake!" Trunks said. Flushed she tried to sit up...until her headache knoced her back down.

"Owww" She mumbled as she held her temples. She looked down and realized she was in her bra and only a thin sheet was covering her. She pulled the covers up to her neck. "What am I doing here?" She had worry in her voice. "Where am I?"

"You are in a capsule house, you are here because Prince Von tried to take advantage from you, and I interrupted it. He drugged you Pan, with a weird from of Aphrodisiac" Trunks explained in almost one breath. "He held a blade up to me and demanded that I put you down, well I refused and blasted him into one of his expensive walls" Trunks sighed. "I never thought he was that type of person"

"How did you know that I was...drugged? Weren't you busy doing something?" She held her head in attempting to remember what happened.

"I felt it…and yes I was collecting the diamonds." He replied quite simply.

She slid of his lap. "Sorry"

"Sorry? For what?" He asked sitting on the bed stretching.

"For laying there on you...the whole night...and thank you for saving me, I wouldn't know what to do after I woke up...." She held her head once more as the sharp pain hit her, the aphrodisiac was strong.

"Here put this one, I am sorry I don't really carry a lot of clothes with me when I travel on duty...and you are welcome" He grinned and handed her capsule corps T-shirt. 'And I don't know how I would react if I saw you wake up with that creep' he thought to himself.

He turned around as she quickly wore the T-shirt that was too big for her. He also handed her some pills. She drank down water with her pills. After a couple minutes her headache faded.

"Wow, I feel much better" She said and then sighed. She looked up and met his eyes looking at her as if he wanted to pierce her soul with his gaze. She modestly looked away. He also looked away. She got out of bed and buttoned up her pants. Trying her best to throw any impending thoughts of Trunks away. It will never happen...It can't happen.
