Chapter 2: "Emotions Run High"
------------------------------
Pan landed a few feet behind Trunks in front of Capsule Corporation. She growled at him, still in Super Saiya-jin form.
"You coward! Too scared to face a little girl?"
Trunks got a look on his face perfectly imitating Vejeta if anyone ever insulted his honor and glared at her, his voice low and threatening, "Go away, brat!"
"I'm not a brat, you murderer!"
Trunks spun around, glaring lethally at her, "What did you call me?!"
"You heard me, murderer!"
"I'm not a murderer! Those Androids killed him, not me!" He turned his back to her, trying to force himself to calm down.
Pan shook her head wildly, by now completely ignoring what he was saying, "You killed him!"
She flung herself at him and knocked him to the ground. He snapped and jumped up with Super Saiya-jin speed, grabbing her by the throat as he jumped. She gasped for breath as he held his other fist into the air, preparing to punch her.
He was just about to bring his fist down on her when Bulma burst through the front door, "TRUNKS!!"
He glared threateningly at the girl and released her. She collapsed to the ground, struggling to breathe. Bulma shot a warning look at Trunks as she walked up to the little girl.
"Trunks, what do you think you were doing?!"
"I was gonna punch her."
"Trunks..."
"She insulted my honor and accused me of killing Gohan!" He yelled it at her fighting back tears and ran inside. Bulma blinked in shock and picked up the small girl.
"...What's he talking about?"
Pan sniffled, also fighting back tears, "The Androids... killed...Daddy..."
Bulma's eyes went wide when she heard "Daddy" and scooped the girl up, walking inside. She laid Pan down on the couch and immediately went to the phone, dialing the ever-familiar number.
"Hello, ChiChi? This is Bulma... Um... I think you should come over. I can't explain now, just...come. Quickly."
-------------------------------
ChiChi stood in shock, staring at her grand-daughter. Bulma was sitting in a chair next to the couch Pan was lying on, looking annoyed.
"Gohan-chan's...dead..." ChiChi put a hand to her head and half-sat, half- collapsed into a nearby chair. Bulma closed her eyes, clasping her hands together.
"You mean you knew the whole time about Pan... and never told us?"
"...I'm so sorry, Bulma-chan... Gohan asked me not to tell anyone, not even you. It wasn't that he didn't trust you... He just wanted her to keep a VERY low profile."
"...I can't believe this... Gohan dies and I find out he has a daughter, all in the same day."
Pan stared at the floor, her head spinning. She looked away quickly as Trunks walked by in his training clothes, heading for the gravity chamber. He flashed her an angry look as he walked by. Bulma gave him a worried look when she saw the tear streaks running down his face. He looked away and continued walking.
The raven-haired girl slowly got up and walked to the window with the two older ladies watching her. She absent-mindedly fingered her necklace, mulling things over in her mind. Her breathing shallowed as her barriers began to slowly decay again. Suddenly she lost it and fell to the floor, her sobs overtaking her.
---------------------------------
I cried for a while until I was exhausted, then fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up, Bulma and ChiChi were asleep in their chairs. I tried to clear my head a little, but it didn't work... so I decided to go apologize to Trunks. As I expected, he was in the gravity chamber trying to build up his Super Saiya-jin form. I watched him, feeling an overhwhelming sense of guilt. I knew I hurt him when I said that he had killed Dad...
He took a break to rest for a few minutes and a tear rolled down his face. I'd heard stories of Vejeta, so it made sense that Trunks would take out his anguish on his training. I decided now was as good a time as any, so I went in. Unfortunately, he was still mad at me...
--------------------------------
Pan stepped in and leaned against the wall, staring at the floor. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Trunks rushed at her and his fist just barely missed her face. As his fist connected with the wall, he came out of Super Saiya-jin. He glared at her and turned around, muttering something under his breath.
"Go away."
"...Trunks, I don't blame you for being mad at me... and... I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said."
Trunks remained silent with his back still turned to her. He shook his head and barely mumbled an answer, "I'll think about it..."
Pan nodded and left to go get some real sleep.
