Gotens POV

~~~~~~~~~

As we flew away from Kyoko's apartment, I cursed myself for not realizing the danger that all of us had inadvertantly put Kyoko in. If anything... and I do mean ANYTHING happened to Kyoko, someone was going to pay and mercy would lose all meaning to me.

Over the last few months I'd found myself thinking about Kyoko almost constantly. There was something about that red-haired beauty that was impossible to forget. Looking over at Trunks was no help to improve my mood either. He looked so distracted that I wouldn't be surprised if he flew right into the side of a mountain. I knew he was worried about Pan and T.J, as well as Kyoko but I also knew that if I didn't snap him out of it, we'd never get anything accomplished.

I reached over and touched his shoulder before I spoke. "She'll be fine. My niece, your wife, is the strongest woman in the world!"

"I hope your right." He gave me an expression that I guessed was supposed to look like a smile but it appeared more like a grimace.

"Do you have any clue where Cammy may have taken her?" I knew asking Trunks was simply grasping at straws but I couldn't bare the tense silence between us.

"No." He shook his head in frustration. "Dammit Goten! This is insanity! Cammy is no where near the same woman that she was when we were together. She's just snapped!"

"I know." I muttered in a low voice, unsure of what else to say.

"No you don't! I love Pan with all my heart and I realize now that she is my soulmate but at one time Cammy was also a woman who I was proud to love. This just doesn't make any sense. After all the SHIT she cause before..." He had to stop to take a calming breath before continuing. "How does someone change so much in such a short time?"

All I could do was shake my head. There was a time when Trunks and I had told each other everything but that seemed like such a long time ago. Now that he was confiding in me, I felt like a heel without having anything useful to say.

"I'm sorry, Goten. I know you are worried about Kyoko, I have no right to saddle you with my burdens as well."

I couldn't help but grin. It wasn't very often that Trunks Briefs, president of Capsule Corp., looked lost and afraid but now that he was, I couldn't help but feel good that I was still the one he could turn too. "It's okay, Trunks. We'll all support each other, okay?"

"Deal." That's when I saw Trunks smile his first true smile all day and I flashed him my own smile in return.

"Let's head back to Kyoko's apartment and get Pan. I think we'll both feel better if your parents took care of her too. That way we can search for Kyoko with a clear head."

Trunks nodded in aggrement so we turned around and headed back the way we'd come.

Pan's POV

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

About five minutes into my floor cleaning, a piece of paper under the coffee table caught my eye. It looked like a business card for a fabric wherehouse in downtown Satan City. I thought long and hard about why Kyoko might have had that buisness card lying around when I realized that maybe the card had been dropped by one of her kidnappers.

I thought about calling Trunks but quickly decided that I'd be able to get to the wherehouse faster on my own so I pocketed the card and rushed outside into the midday sun.

It took me about 10 minutes to locate the exact location of the wherehouse but once I did, a bad feeling overcame me. Just by looking at the building, I knew that nothing good could come out of me entering it. The windows were dark and covered and all the doors were bored over except for one.

The first thought in my head was to wait for Trunks and Uncle Goten but then I realized that Kyoko could potenially be right beyond those doors. If I didn't do something now, who knew what might happen. Besides, even as a child when Grampa, Trunks and I had fought, I'd never backed out of a fight. In fact, I think it is against my saiyan blood to not answer a challenge.

So, with every intelligent thought in my head telling me to go home and wait, I stepped up to the door and pushed it slightly. To my surprise the door easily opened so I cautiously stepped into the room. My senses were going wild but once my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw a person struggling aganist one of the large structure beams. A moment later I realized that the person was Kyoko.

The moment I saw her, she began to thrash even harder and although she was gagged I could hear her muffled sounds coming from her.

"My, My, My... It looks like Little Bo Peep has come to find her lost sheep." I heard the shill laugh before Cammy stepped out of the shadows and stood next to Kyoko.

"Let her go!" I demanded angerly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Pan, why would I do that when I could just hold you both captive as my pawns for getting T.J. back."

"What?" In a moment of confusion and sheer stupidity, I focused all of my attention on Cammy. A moment later is when I heard the sound behind me but just as I spun around to confront my would be attacker, I was hit across the face with a large flat board.

My face hit the cold concrete with a loud smack but I didn't lose conciousness. As I struggled to return to my feet and power up enough to get myself and Kyoko out of the sitsuation, I cursed myself for several reasons... A) I had left the apartment without telling anyone were I was going. B) I'd put myself in danger even though I was nearly seven months pregnant. And C) If I hadn't dropped my guard for that one moment, I would have been able to save both Kyoko and I with very little trouble.

Just as I was crouching on my hands and knees, trying to return to my feet, I saw a boot flying towards my face at an alarming rate. The last thing I heard was the sickening crunch of impact.
