Oniisan- Brother
Chapter Eight: Confusion
The three stories high mall was a bit too much for Mirai Trunks. He couldn't believe that in this time, the mall was built this big just so people could shop. At least in his opinion, he thought that it should be a bit smaller. So many floors and so many shops made it very difficult to get around. Especially when there were so many people at that time of day.
The girls were walking ahead of the guys. All they did was talk about what was in and what was out. Already, the girls had a load of shopping bags, which the men mostly carried. The guys had, in each hand, five shopping bags while the girls had only three in one hand. And of all the luck, Goten had to be carrying the bags that were pink. Goten thought it must have been from the store called Veggie's Secret. He made a disgusted face at the thought of that shop. 'It smells way too much. All that perfume and lotion makes me feel sick! But those little things made of silk feel nice.' He smiled at that thought. Goten walked on, happier now. When he caught up with Bra, he decided to give her a little kiss. He saw her blush furiously. In a weak voice she said, "What was that for?" All he did was smile that famous smile and continued to walk.
Pan saw Goten's expression and was wondering why he looked so happy. She looked at her watch, '5:30...we've been shopping for five hours!! I want to go home right now...' Through the corner of her eyes, she saw Mirai Trunks. He was looking at all the different shops they passed and the people around them. 'It must be very different in his time.' Pan sighed and continued to walk.
He could see how she was beginning to look sad. Trunks had seen her looking at his other self for a while. When Mirai Trunks wasn't looking, Trunks glared at him. 'Why do things have to be so complicated?' He stared at the floor as he continued to walk. 'Why can't she just give me another chance? What I told her yesterday, I really meant it. So why can't she see that?!' Trunks was really upset at the thought. Suddenly, a tap on his shoulder interrupted his thoughts. He turned to see Goten.
"What's with you Trunks?"
"What?" Goten actually had a serious look on his face.
"You know what I'm talking about. Your ki just sky rocketed just now." Trunks' eyes widen in shock. 'I forgot to conceal my ki!! Baka baka baka!!" Trunks shook his head in frustration. When he looked at Pan, she acted as though she didn't notice. But he knew better. 'She's probably wondering why. Or maybe she knows.' Trunks began to feel depressed.
"Its nothing Goten. I just remembered that I forgot to give my secretary the paper work that I finished going over." Goten looked at him suspiciously, and then he said, "Sure, whatever you say." Goten knew better. He knew why his best friend was angry and depressed, all at the same time. Goten sighed. Nothing could be done and he knew it.
Mirai Trunks stared at Trunks for a moment. 'His ki was out of control for a second there. Could it be about Pan?' Mirai Trunks didn't notice that the girls stopped walking for a second. Because of his carelessness, he walked straight into Pan, causing her and him to fall to the hard cold floor.
"Oww. That really hurt." Pan could feel her right cheek against the floor. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mirai Trunks' face extremely close her face. Pan found it hard to breath at that time. Her heart was beating so fast that she knew her face was flushed. 'Why do I feel this way? This is Trunks here! No, wait; this is the Trunks from the future. Mirai Trunks. But, why...'' She noticed that he too, was blushing.
Mirai Trunks also found it difficult to breath. His heart was beating so fast that it felt as though he was in he heat of a fierce battle. 'Pan. Panny. Pan-chan...I don't even know you, at least not very well. So why do I feel this way? You're so...different from other girls, no, other women. Am I...' Mirai Trunks felt himself being lifted off the ground. He turned to see Goten, who was dusting dust off his shoulders and back.
"You ok man?"Mirai Trunks managed to answer him without sounding nervous.
"Yeah. Arigato."
"No problem." Goten looked at him, and grinned.
When Mirai Trunks looked back at Pan, Trunks and Marron were helping her up. Bra on the other hand just began to tease her.
"You're so clumsy Pan."
"Yeah I know B." Pan tried to stand on her, own but couldn't. When she tried again, she cried out in pain. "Ouch! I think I sprained my ankle." Trunks helped her to a nearby table and pulled out a chair for her. She sat down and twisted her leg back and forth. "Yep, definitely sprained." Mirai Trunks walked right to her and began apologizing.
"Gomen Pan. I didn't mean to." He bowed his head in shame. Pan just laughed a little.
"Hehe, its ok Toran-kun. Accidents happen. I'll be fine. Really I will." She assured him with a smile. Mirai Trunks still wasn't satisfied.
Bra suddenly had an idea. Goten looked at her and notice that one smile of hers. The smile that meant she was up to something. No doubt, she was planning it all at that moment.
"Oniisan." Trunks looked up.
"What?" Bra pouted. 'Not that one.' "I meant Mirai Oniisan." Mirai Trunks looked at her.
"What is it?" Bra smiled.
"Why don't you take Panny home? It's unhealthy for her to go out when she has a sprained ankle." Hearing this, Trunks volunteered to do it instead.
"Let me go. I'll take her to the doctor's office on the way."
"That's ok oniisan. Mirai can do it."
"But-"
"No buts!"
"You can't do that!" Bra grinned evilly.
"What are you gonna do about it huh? You know what I can do, Daddy will be on my side." She laughed her evil laugh. Trunks looked like he was about to explode with anger but he maintained his posture. Through his clenched teeth, he said, "Fine."
Before Pan could protest, Mirai Trunks circled one hand around her waist, one underneath her knee's and lifted her from her seat and walked off. As they walked off, Pan could hear a few were whispers here and there, some of jealousy, others of confusion. Pan even heard someone say, "No shame at all, doing that in public." Hearing this, Pan lifted herself higher by grabbing Mirai Trunks shoulders, she had her chin atop his right shoulder; she almost cursed every word that she could think of when she realized what she was doing. She looked at Mirai Trunks and blushed immediately. He blushed as well.
"Gomen." She whispered.
"It's alright." Trying to stay calm, he let out a slow and deep breath. When they were outside, he walked to the parking lot, making sure that there wasn't a person in sight; he then took off into the sky.
Pan felt very relaxed now. She closed her eyes and let the wind blow through her hair, not caring about anything else. Her arms were now around Mirai Trunks's neck, her head tilted to the side, leaning against Mirai Trunks. She then said, "Can we stop by the park for a moment?" Mirai Trunks looked down at her and then replied, "Sure."
As soon as the park was in sight, he landed behind a huge willow tree, making sure that no one saw them. Mirai Trunks let her stand on her own; the pain in her ankle was not as strong as it once was.
"Are you alright?" he asked with a look of concern on his face.
She smiled. "I'm fine." Then, something caught her eye. It was the carved name on the willow tree. When she took a look at her soundings, she realized that Mirai Trunks landed at the sight where she and Trunks spent most of their time. Seeing her distraction, Mirai Trunks looked at the direction she was looking. He saw the name Trunks carved in the bark. However, he could barely make out what the other name was. 'My guess is it was Pan.' He heard her sigh and knew right away what she was thinking. To lighten up the mood, he said, "Lets go to the bridge. Is that ok with you?" Pan nodded in agreement.
When they were halfway across the bridge, Pan jumped and sat on the rim of the bridge, facing the other side of the bridge. She breathed in the fresh air and was relaxed once again. Mirai Trunks was standing to her right. He rested his elbows on the rim and leaned forward the opposite direction from Pan. Neither one said a word. All they did was listen to the birds chirping and the water splash down below. Without looking at her, Mirai Trunks asked, "What do you think of me being here?"
Pan just looked at him. Not knowing what to say.
"Does it feel weird? Me, from another future, right here with you?" Pan thought for a moment. Then she answered him.
"Not really. In fact, I'm glad that you're here." Mirai Trunks turned and looked at her.
"But don't I remind you of Trunks? I am him you know. Well, looks anyway." Pan laughed a little.
"That maybe true, but your different. You're not spoiled like he is. You're a lot nicer, sweeter, and..." Mirai Trunks was no longer leaning against the bridge, he was now standing in front of Pan.
"And...?" Pan looked at the ground, trying to avoid his eyes. 'He's standing so close...my heart is beating so fast, I can't stop it.' She felt the warmth of his hand as he lifted her chin up. Now she was forced to look into his deep blue eyes.
"And what, Pan-chan?" Pan's eyes widened in shock and her lips were slightly ajar. 'He called me Pan-chan! I don't understand what's happening between us...' She heard her name once again.
"Pan-chan?" He was now closer. So close that she could feel his warm breath against her skin.
"And honest Toran-kun." She whispered. She began closing her eyes as she leaned closer to his lips as he did the same. The closer they were, the faster their hearts beat. The last thing Pan thought was, 'Am I in love? With Toran-kun?'
