Disclaimer: Dragonball isn't mine…
A/N: Hey! First of all, thank you again for ALL of your reviews! It's still hard to believe that you like this story so much! Really! Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, I changed the rating of this story, just to be safe… maybe this story will even become NC-17. It depends on if I dare to write my first lemon…
Whatever, I need to tell you something: Exactly one year ago, on April 2, I posted the Prologue of "The Lost Warrior", my first fanfic! And now, looking back, I must say that I'm proud of my work. One successful trilogy (The Lost Warrior, TLW – The Sequel and TLW – The Next Generation), the DBZ/GT/BtVS crossover "There will always be hope", two short stories (Somewhere deep down in his heart and On my own) and now my two going fics, "The Treasure of Power" and "Until we meet again", where I must say that Uwma is my most successful one! I dedicate this story to all of my readers who've reviewed and supported me in the last year! You are really the best!
By the way, I just see the Dragonball Z episode, where they made a movie about the Great Saiyaman. Have you ever noticed that the director and his assistant look exactly like the commander and Black of the RR Army?
Chapter 9: The kiss
************************************************************************************
"Hey, has anyone seen Trunks?" Bulma wanted to know, after Trunks had been gone for more than thirty minutes. It had gotten late and the guests were all ready to go.
Marron shrugged. "I haven't seen him since he left the living room so sudden about half an hour ago…"
"He brought his soon-to-be-mate home," they suddenly heard a voice saying. They turned around and saw Vegeta leaning against a wall, in his typical stance and still dressed in his now lightly torn armor.
As Bulma saw her husband, she glared at him. "Vegeta! Where have you been? Don't tell me you have been training! You know…." Suddenly she stopped, slowly realizing what Vegeta had said. Soon-to-be-mate? But that meant one thing… "Grandchildren!" she squealed with delight, completely forgetting that Vegeta had been training. "Oh my god… My little boy is finally settling down and will marry Pia…"
"Bulma," Gohan said suddenly thoughtfully. "I don't think that this could be good."
"What are you talking about?" Bulma asked confused.
"I mean, I don't know if the others have noticed it, too, but this woman didn't have a ki," he explained.
"You're right," Krillin agreed. "I couldn't feel it either."
"Hey guys," Bulma now said slightly scared. "But that doesn't have to mean anything, right? I mean, maybe her ki's just extremely low, so that you couldn't feel it."
Yamcha put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry to tell you Bulma, but I think the others are right. We all should be careful around her. You must know that every human has a noticeable ki and the only beings that as far as I know don't have a ki are…"
"Androids," Juuhachigou finished Yamcha's suspicion.
"But you all know that not all androids are evil!" Bulma defended her. "Just look at Juuhachigou. Hey Vegeta! What are you thinking about…" She turned to him but he wasn't there anymore. She sighed. "Whatever… I don't care what you're thinking of her, but I like her and I think that she could be the right one for Trunks. I won't stand between them!"
"We're not saying that she's evil…" Gohan said, "I just want you to be careful around her until we know more. We don't even need to tell Trunks or the others. It would be best when they act normal around her. Just when we know for sure that she might be a threat for us, we should tell them. Or what do you think?" he asked the others.
"You're right, man," Krillin said. "She's innocent until we found a proof for our suspicions."
Bulma sighed, reluctantly agreeing to what the warriors said. She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but trust this young woman. It was as if she knew her for a lifetime. Trunks and her got along so well and she just couldn't imagine how this woman, who was almost still a girl, could be a threat for them. This thought was just ridiculous.
~*~
Pan couldn't believe that this was actually happening. She and Trunks were kissing. That was something she had dreamed of since… well, forever. How often had she imagined feeling his soft lips on hers? She had tried so hard in the last seven years to forget her dreams…
Yeah, a dream. It was just too good to be true. She, Pan Son, was kissing the love of her life, Trunks Briefs. Just one thing bothered her. That Trunks didn't know that it was her. He thought that she was someone else, a woman with the name Pia Shen, not the little tomboy she used to be. But she couldn't tell him. It would ruin everything between them. She could lose him and she didn't want to risk that. She knew that as soon as he found out who she was, everything could be over.
This night, thanks to her Saiyajinhearing, she was able to hear what Trunks had said about her. He had called her 'little Panny'. That was everything she needed to decide that she would keep her secret identity longer than she normally wanted. Especially now. Her life was perfect and that very moment made it more perfect than anything else. As selfish as it was, she didn't want to give up what she had now. She just wished that this moment could last forever.
Trunks couldn't believe that this was actually happening. He and Pia were kissing. That was something he had dreamed of since he first saw her. How had he longed for the feeling of her lips on his.
Maybe it was a dream. A wonderful dream he didn't want to end. He didn't know how she would react after his confession. All the times they got closer, he always had the feeling as if she wanted to prevent something like that from happening. But now… Now it actually did happen.
He had kissed many women in his life, but it was never like this. The way her lips were brushing against his, the way she was running her hands through his hair, over his back, over his chest was driving him crazy. Her touch burned like fire on his skin. All rational thoughts banned from his mind he was just acting after his instincts. He somehow knew now that they belonged together and that nothing would be able to change that. No matter what happened, he didn't want to lose her. That he was sure of.
Pan melted in his arms as he responded to her kiss. Everything around her ceased to exist. It was just him and her, all alone in this big world. Time stood still. The end of the world could have come and she wouldn't have noticed it. It was almost like two weeks ago, as they were dancing, just much more intense. Everything felt so right at that moment. Gone were all the fears, the doubts she had.
Vegeta was right. She had been fighting a loosing battle. No power in the world could have stopped that. She was glad that she had listened to Vegeta. She had just let it go, she had let the Saiyajin in her taking the upper hand.
They first broke apart, when they were in desperate need of air. Both were panting hard. They looked at each other and Trunks noticed that her cheeks were slightly flushed. He gently wiped some strands of hair out of her face and just smiled at her. "I love you Pia…" he whispered, barely audible.
Pan smiled up at him, looking into the crystal blue orbs that were his eyes. In those eyes she could see the love he was feeling for her. How often had she looked into his eyes, when she had still been younger, and searched for that special look in them. That special look that was just meant for one special person in his life. "I love you too, Trunks…" she answered breathlessly. There she said it. She told him what she had wanted to tell him all her life. And now she finally could do it.
"I should go now…" she said, after they just looked at each other for several minutes.
"Yeah… It's getting late," Trunks told her softly.
"Well then…" She leaned over and kissed him again, shortly. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight…" He watched her getting out of the car, but called her name before she went inside. "Pia! I'll call you tomorrow!"
Pan turned around, grinning. "You mean today…" she told him and went inside.
Trunks smiled dreamily, as he saw her disappear in the building. Yeah, he would call her today…
