"Trunkssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!" I went from room to room in the house, trying to find him. After a minute, I had to stop and catch my breath but thankfully a very worried Trunks appeared before me, holding our son in his arms.

"What's wrong?! Are you are right?" Once he saw that I was safe, he seemed to relax a bit. "You scared the hell out of me."

"Kyoko's in danger!" I blurted out, without even thinking.

"What?" No understanding showed on his face whatsoever.

It took a moment for me to explain to Trunks my theory about Kyoko being in more trouble without our protection but when I finished, I saw a look of anger flash in his eyes. "She better be alright." His voice was muttered at barely above a whisper but I could feel his anger and fear clearly through our bond.

"I'll try to call Kyoko. You go get Uncle Goten and meet me back here." I tried to keep my emotions in check but Kyoko was the closest thing to a sister that I'd ever had.

"Kyo come home?" T.J. has a worried look on his cute little face and it broke my heart.

"Yeah baby. We're gonna bring Kyo home with us." I forced a smile and tickled his side until he started to giggle. Even if we were worried and upset, there was no sense in upsetting the child too.

"Pan, Should I take T.J. with me or should I leave him with you?"

"Take him to Bulma and Vegeta. He'll be safe there."

He nodded in agreement and gave me a kiss before flying out the back door at top speed. I made my way over to the phone, cursing my pregnant body for weighing me down so much. I dialed her phone number and waited for an answer.

One ring, Two rings, three, four, five rings. Finally the answering machine picked up. "This is Kyoko. Do your thing after the beep!" BEEP

"Kyoko... This is Pan... Are you home?!... Please answer!... I am coming over. If you get this message call my cell phone." When I hung up, I felt even more nervous then before. I know that her just not being home was not really a big deal but my gut instinct told me that we may already be too late.

I grabbed my cell phone and dialed Trunks' cell phone number as I ran out the door. "Pan, was she home?" Trunks answered the phone almost immediatly.

"No, I am on my way to her apartment. Meet me there." I hung up before Trunks could respond and just hoped that he would not be too mad that I headed there without him.

It took me about five minutes to get to her apartment from the house but thankfully, Uncle Goten and Trunks landed at the doorstep at the same time. Immediatly, Uncle Goten began pounding on the door.

"Kyoko! Open up!" When no one answered the door after a moment, he sent a small blast to the door. Luckily, the door came open without breaking completely.

Goten ran straight towards the bedroom and Trunks followed right at his tracks. I started to follow them but then something on the floor in the living room caught my eye. I made my way around the couch and with one sniff, I knew that the large puddle on the ground was blood.

A thousand different emotions flooded through my brain but the only thing I could do was fall to my knees and cry. Although I tried to convince myself that the blood could have come from anyone, I just KNEW better. I tried to call for Trunks but the sobs kept any words from surfacing. All I could think about was how I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to Kyoko.

"Pan?" Trunks' voice was soft as he rounded the corner of the hallway. When he saw me on the ground and in tears, he was by my side in a instant. "What's wrong?"

It took alot of effort but I composed myself slightly and pointed a shaky finger towards the puddle in the muddle of the room. I heard Trunks take in a sharp breath but after a moment, he wrapped me up even tighter into an embrace.

"Shhhhhhh... Panny, its all gonna be okay. We'll bring her back safe."

"SHIT!" I heard his yell and a large crash before Trunks and I turned around to see that Uncle Goten had put his fist through the wall. He was so angry that the emotion radiated from him and I could see his hair flickering between black and gold.

Slowly, Trunks released me from his embrace and climbed to his feet to approuch my uncle. He placed a cautious hand on his shoulder and spoke in a soft voice. "We'll find her Goten. Don't loose your head."

It took Goten several minutes before he was calm again but when he was, he turned to me with an odd sort of smirk. It was like he knew something that I didn't. My interest was immediatly peaked.

"What is it?"

"She's not dead." Uncle Goten's smile widened as he spoke the words.

"How do you know?" Trunks still looked apprehensive yet hope began to show in his beautiful blue eyes.

"I don't know how I know, I just know." He looked as confused as his words sounded.

Trunks and I exchanged looks with each other and grinned. Uncle Goten and Kyoko had started to bond and they didn't even realize it yet. Luckily for us, the bond between them just might be the biggest tool that we had in getting Kyoko back.

Trunks turned to me with a serious expression. "Pan, will you be okay to stay here while Goten and I go looking for clues?"

I nodded and led the guys out the front door before closing it and locking it behind me. I walked around the room for a little while but quickly realized that doing nothing at all was just going to make it all worse. So instead, I found some soap and a scrub brush and set to work at getting rid of the blood stain.

Trunks' POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We left Pan at Kyoko's apartment and even though Goten and I kept reassuring each other that she would be safe, I couldn't shake the feeling that she could easily be Cammy's next victum in her pregnant condition. I know that if I'd have tried to tell her that, she'd insist that she was a big girl and a powerful saiyan who was capable of taking care of herself. Instead of walking in an arguement with her, I opted to avoid the whole topic but now I was starting to regret that decision.

"She'll be fine. My niece, your WIFE, is the toughest woman in the world... literally." I felt Goten's hand on my arm and forced a half smile.

"I hope your right, Goten... I just hope that you are right."
