Acceptance and Decision

You're standing at the crossroads

Don't know which path to choose

Let me come along

'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you

Bra walked back towards the cabin, after her usual morning stroll. She ran her hands over the long grass and wildflowers, letting them tickle her palm. The sun struggled to force its light and warmth through the treetops. Bra felt like she was walking down a long green corridor.

Bra thought about her family, and wondered whether she should return to them. This was not the first time that she had pondered at this thought. It plagued her mind everyday. She missed them, and she knew they must be worried about her, but she just couldn't find the courage to go back. And now she had another problem. Something added to the equation.

Juunanagou. She didn't want to leave him. He loved her, and, although a large part of her heart and mind refused to accept it, she was starting to love him back. No one had ever treated her with such kindness and affection. No one had ever cared for her like he did.

No one had ever managed to seduce her. But Juunanagou had.

Bra often wondered why, of all the men she had ever met, she chose Juunanagou to be her first. So many males had tried to woo Bra, and bed her, but only Juunanagou had succeeded. Why? He had confessed love to her, but others had also tried that.

Bra had always told herself that she had been saving herself for Goten. When she had lost him, she had felt alone and lost herself. Maybe that's what Juunanagou had been. A sympathy fuck. But Bra knew this was not true. If this were the case, she would've slept with him at the very start. When he had first found her. No. She had made Juunanagou wait.

A small smile came to Bra's mouth as she remembered the early days with Juunanagou. The jinzouningen had started off shy. He didn't know what these new feelings were, or how to act around his new companion. Bra didn't like to mock Juunanagou, but she always had to laugh at his bashfulness. It just seemed so…out of place. But then again, so did the deep affection that he eventually developed for her.

Bra still remembered one day, when Juunanagou had come back to the cabin with a wild rose, deep crimson in colour. He had given it to her, mumbling, "I found this in the forest, and I thought you might like it, because it's pretty…And you're pretty. I mean, I don't like it…oh! But I do like you…"

But Juunanagou overcame his shyness. One morning, he kissed her, because he "thought it was a good idea." He would also complement her more openly, the things he said getting more intense every day. Until he finally said to her, "Bra-chan, I think I love you."

At first, Bra had blocked it out. She didn't want to believe it. She loved Goten. The last thing she needed was the affections of some artificial human. But eventually, she could ignore it no longer. Every time she looked into those ice-blue oceans – those eyes that weren't really human or alive – she could see the emotions. She could see that this…robot could love her more than any man on the planet.

So she had given her body to him. Her mind, heart and soul were not quite ready.

* Flashback *

Bra and Juunanagou sat at the table, eating their dinner. She could feel that his eyes were focussed on her every move. It was unnerving, but strangely flattering.

"Umm, Juunana?" Bra started, trying to start up a conversation. "Being a jinzouningen, do you actually need to eat?"

Juunanagou thought for a moment. "Well, if you mean, do I need it for fuel, then no. But I do still have a stomach, and it does need to be filled."

Bra smiled, and looked at Juunanagou, with his perfect face. Unlike Goten and all the other "cute" guys Bra had met, Juunanagou did not have that rugged handsome look to him. Instead, he had an almost feminine beauty to him. His face was smooth and flawless. No razor would ever damage it. He would keep his youth forever.

Juunanagou stared right back at Bra, thinking similar thoughts. She too, was almost perfect in her beauty. So much so, that Juunanagou could claim that she was partially artificial like himself. But he knew that her beauty was natural. A blend of Saiyan blood from her father – a race which never seemed to age – and good genes from her mother – a family that aged gracefully. Bra had also inherited her perfect figure from her mother. Curved in all the right places, and a full bust. Because of this, she didn't quite have the build of a warrior, but her grace helped make up for that.

He smirked as hentai thoughts entered his mind. He imagined holding those perfect breasts in his hands. He imagined placing kisses all over her smooth, pale skin. He imagined her moaning and calling out his name in her beautiful voice as they made love over and over. Juunanagou's brain then registered that his thoughts had caused an unwanted and embarrassing effect. He crossed his legs, and hoped that Bra had not noticed.

Bra only noticed him crossing his legs, and that fact that he had started to blush. From this, she could work out what had happened. Typical male. They'll get hard over anything. She glanced out the window, and saw it was getting late.

She yawned. "I think it's time for bed."

She stood, and took her plate away from the table. As she placed it down, she noticed the presence behind her. She could feel Juunanagou's breath on the back of her neck. He must have only been inches away from her. Bra turned, placing her hands on the bench behind her.

"Juunana? What's the matter?"

"You're so beautiful," was his only reply. He stroked her cheek with his index finger. She did not flinch at his touch, so Juunanagou moved forward and touched his lips to hers. The kisses were soft at first, then they became more intense. More passionate.

Juunanagou wrapped his arms around Bra's waist and pulled her close to him. Close enough to feel his need. His desire. He pulled out of their kisses, and stared at her. And Bra melted. Something came over her. She couldn't deny him. She wanted him…she needed him. All because of that look. (Some time later, Bra would occasionally try to convince herself that Juunanagou had bewitched her, a thought which she immediately dismissed as ridiculous.)

*End Flashback*

Bra smiled at the memories. Since their first night, she and Juunanagou had become almost as bad as Vegeta and Bulma. It was rare for them not to have sex at least five times a week. Bra enjoyed it, and Juunanagou certainly did too.

Bra continued on her walk, not realising that, slowly, the part of her heart that had belonged to Goten, was being invaded by Juunanagou.

* * * * * *

Pan watched as Goten drove away. Back to Capsule Corp. and his mate. It had taken a while, but she had finally convinced him not to kill Kaji and tear him into tiny pieces, which had been Goten's only solution. The pair had talked while cleaning up Pan's apartment.

Pan flopped onto the remaining half of her couch. The other half had been so badly scorched, that she and Goten had torn it off, and thrown it into the garbage. From her seat, Pan could see the clear night sky. The stars were twinkling (as much as they could through the city lights), and Pan wondered if Bra was also looking onto this sky.

"Bra, where are you?" Pan mumbled. "Why did you leave? Why weren't you here? Why weren't you here when I needed you? And Grandpa. You weren't here either. Nobody wants to be here for me. Nobody loves me."

Pan could have kicked herself for speaking those words. Of course people loved her! Of course people were there for her. Goten certainly hadn't spent half the night drinking tea. And then there was…Marron.

Pan's thoughts immediately turned to her blonde haired friend. Pan would never have guessed that Marron was a lesbian. The blonde had never dropped any hints. Pan had always assumed that Marron had never had a boyfriend due to her shy nature. Marron was always quiet, and never outspoken, which was probably why she and Pan had gotten along so well.

Pan sighed. For the past couple of days, she had barely thought about the party, or her developing baby. All of her thoughts had dwelled on Marron. Sure, it was a shock to Pan. But maybe there was something else. Maybe…

Pan placed her hand on her stomach, where her child was growing. She would never accept it as Kaji's child. It was hers, no one else's. A tear slid down her cheek, as she remembered the events of that night. The physical pain had long since faded, but the emotional pain would never leave her. The emotional pain that Kaji…that a man had inflicted onto her. Slowly, Pan realised that she could never be with a man again. Sex with a man would never be pleasurable for her…she would always think of Kaji. But, Pan also realised, that she didn't care. If she were never with another man, she really wouldn't care.

Pan grabbed her coat on the way out the door. She had made her decision.

* * * * * *

Marron had also made a decision. One to run away, and disappear. She had decided to follow Bra's example. But she was planning to tell her parents. She was planning to tell them that she was going to look for Bra, and would keep in touch.

She sobbed as she packed clothes and other essentials into a suitcase. "How could I have been so stupid? Of course Pan would never want me! I'm worthless."

Marron's sobs were interrupted by a knock at the door. Marron froze. She quickly wiped her eyes, and looked around her room for somewhere to hide the suitcase. She decided to leave it just on the bed. Hopefully, whoever was at the door would not plan on staying long.

"Coming! Coming!" Marron called, as her guest continued knocking. Marron opened the door…and was forced backwards as a figure pushed themself against her, in a deep and passionate kiss. Marron's eyes widened in shock, as she saw the raven hair of her 'attacker'.

"Pan?" Marron mumbled.

The quarter-Saiyan pulled out of the kiss, and smirked. "Surprised?"

Marron laughed in disbelief. "Very!"

Pan looked into the apartment, and into Marron's room. She saw the suitcase on the bed. "Planning on a vacation?"

"Well…I…ah…"

Pan looked hurt. "Marron, you knew how devastated I was when Bra ran away. How could you go and do the exact same thing."

Marron sighed. "I couldn't stay here, knowing that you knew how I felt, and would never feel the same way. I couldn't bear not having you."

"Now what the Hell gave you that idea?"

"W-what do you mean?"

"I love you Marron. And if anyone has a problem with that, I'll kick their ass!"

Marron started crying again, but out of happiness this time. She threw her arms around Pan. "Oh, Pan. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am. My greatest dream has just come true."

Pan laughed quietly. "I know how happy you are, because I feel the same." She kissed Marron lightly on the nose. "But I wonder what our son will think about having two mothers!"
