Trouble in Paradise

Chapter 7: Gettin' Help!!
****Brief's house****
"Brat, what do you think you're doing?"

A lavender haired teen 'erp'ed and stopped. "I was uh...going out?" Trunks turned and looked at his dad, a hopeful glint in his eyes. The short man just glared at him and opened his mouth to speak.

"Oh, come off it Vegeta! Go ahead Trunks, just be back before it gets too dark, ok? Oh, and before you come home, pick up Bra from Chi Chi's. Alright? See you later honey!"

"Thanks Mom!" he said, then turned back to the door and took off down the street. 'Geeze! What I have to do to get out of that house!'

"Onna! Why did you do that? Now what am I supposed to do for fun?" growled Vegeta, glancing around to find 'the woman.'

"Well, you could come upstairs with me..." Bulma started, while walking slowly up the stairs. Vegeta just looked at her and a smirk grew on his face. The pair made their way to the 'playroom.'

'This better be better than messing with the brat.'

'Oh, it will be!' (A/N: I don't think we'll go any further on that one...lol... ;) )

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

'I wonder where she could be? She told me she was going to the store,' Trunks thought. When he walked past an alley, he heard noises, like rustling. 'Woa! What's that? Hm...I think I'll go see.' Trunks made his way quietly into the alley way. It was really dark, but Trunks could make out almost everything because of his saiyin senses, once he got used to the dark. The only things he couldn't make out were the things in the darkest corners. From what he could see though, there was a fight at the end. He silently crawled closer to see what was happening. There were about 8 or 9 guys in a circle, a couple standing facing the opening of the alley, and one with his back towards him. That one was struggling with something, like it wanted to get away.

"Sure, why not? Go ahead knock yourself out! Well, at least knock the prettier one out first. Hurry up so we can all have some fun with her!" He heard someone say. Trunks saw him walk out of the shadows and got a good look at him. He was tall and had dark hair that was slicked back. His dark eyes were narrowed. 'I hope that person they got can take those eyes...'

Before Trunks could finish his thought, he heard a familiar voice, "Man! You guys are rank!!! Is this the only way you people can get a chick?"

'Pan?!'

"What did you just say wench?" growled the tall man.

One of the men that were facing him turned and said, "Duh, I think she just told you that you stink boss."

The tall man smacked the oaf in the head. "I heard what she said! Chank, just hurry up and have your fun so the rest of us can have some," he sneered.

"O-kay boss, whatever you say boss," Chank said.

Trunks looked at each guy and his eyes rested on the bigger of the two facing him, Chank. 'This guy's a nut!!' He had dark, greasy hair that went to his shoulders and was pulled back in a ponytail. And he had strangely bright eyes for a goon. 'Like he thinks it's a game! Boy does he have another thing comin'!' Trunks smirked. Chank walked up to the other guy holding Pan, slowly. He cracked his knuckles one by one.

"Geeze ya baka! Stanky over there said hurry up! Are ya that stupid, or do you just look it?!" he heard Pan holler. Chank stopped and steamed.

Trunks shook his head and laughed, 'She's always gotta say something.'

"Well, it looks like you're in a hurry to go bye-bye. I can help you with that!" He started walking again and threw a punch at Pan's stomach. "Yeeeoooowwww!! What's she got in there?!" He pulled back his fist and looked at it. 'Feels like I hit a wall!' His hand started throbbing. The boss sweat-dropped.

"Uh, Chank, what's taking so long," asked the boss as he stepped forward. He looked at Chank's hand and gasped sarcasticly, "What'd you do? Miss?" he laughed. Every goon in the circle and in the shadows started laughing at their boss's joke, except the one holding the girl.

"Boss, I don't think he missed," he explained. He looked from Chank's hand to the girl he was 'holding'.

Pan squirmed, "Someone's mighty observant! Of course he didn't miss! He tried to hit me in the stomach, I hate when people touch my stomach!" Everyone stopped laughing. The boss got right in Pan's face and pointed his finger to her stomach.

"What are you saying little girl, that you're holding some bricks in the shirt of yours?" he asked, poking her for emphasis. "Well, let's just see." He reached up to the neck of her shirt. But Pan had other ideas. She easily got her hands free of the grip that the guy had on her from behind and grabbed Boss's hand quick as lightning. Trunks smirked again, 'He definately went too far this time.'

"Number one: I'm not a little girl! Number two: I do not hide stuff in my shirt! Number three: You dudes are way out of your leauge here!" She threw the boss into a part of the circle surrounding her. "Ooo, that felt good. I got tired of smellin' him!" Two guys came from behind and grabbed an arm each. Pan just floated a few inches off the ground to where the guys where on their toes. "Now, you should know not to grab a person from behind. It's not polite." Pan grinned, then threw the two towards the wall, taking out a couple more of the gang. She dusted off her hands and laughed. "Ok, what a workout!" Trunks saw two more guys coming up behind holding pipes. 'I don't think she's paying attention! Even though it might not hurt, no reason to chance it.' He jumped up from his hiding spot and sped towards them and tapped their necks, knocking them unconsious. Pan whirled around in punched.

Trunks caught her hand and smirked, "Slow, aren't we?"

Pan socked him in the shoulder. "Don't scare me like that!!"

"Ite! Me? Scare you?! I think I would have been the one to be scared! I believe you got, what..." he silently counts, "eight guys?"

"So! Argh! You are impossible! Umm...What are you doin' here anyway? How'd ya find me?" Trunks scratched the back of his head, and grinned.

"Uh...Well, I got bored in the house, so I decided to come find you...and...then I heard something goin' on in here so I decided to check it out."

"Oh, I see. So, you wanna go with me to bring this to my dad?" Pan held up her backpack that got thrown off in the 'fight'.

"What? Your pack?"

"No baka! I had to buy my dad some asprin! Goten brought some girl to our house and then left with her. Well, Grandma Chi Chi called." Pan shouldered her bag and started dusting herself off.

"Oh...I see. She talked his head off, ne?" Pan nodded and stood straight. "Sheesh, I'm glad I don't have to listen to her. Who's the girl that he brought home? Was she nice?" Trunks started walking to the street.

Pan fidgetted and followed, "Well, I really didn't get to talk to her long, she was unconscious when he brought her in, but when she was awake she was cool! She said that she'd come back some time and sparr with me!" They turned at the street towards Pan's house. "I think Goten likes her!" Pan giggled.

Trunks looked at her and smiled. 'She's so cute when she laughs. Erp!' He hurried and looked away. "Duh, what makes you think that?"

Pan turned her head to the side, "Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?"

"Naw….not at all!!" he retorted, "Hey wait, does this girl happen to have long dark hair and she seemed to be in a hurry, would she??" He looked back towards Pan again.

Pan looked ahead and looked like she was in thought, "Hmm…I think so. OOH!! And she had this weird tattoo like, riiight here…" she said while pointing to the spot on her body. Trunks looked and smiled a little but stopped when Pan looked back at him. 'Erp. I definitely don't want her to think I'm a perv!!'

"Weeellll, I wasn't really lookin' that close. I just helped Goten play a joke on this girl…"

"WHAT?! How could you guys do that?! I mean, I know you would, but how could you corrupt my uncle like that?? Huh?! Ugh! Geeze, you and Veggie-head both just would LOVE to make Kakkorot's second brat an evil maniac just like y'all since He couldn't do it to Kakkorott's first brat-"

Trunks flailed his arms around, trying to calm the girl down, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Hang on!! It wasn't anything mean or somethin'! He asked me to! And it was his idea!!" Pan calmed down and stopped walking, Trunks doing the same. Giving him a 'you-better-explain-before-I-go-beserko-and-hiyacha-your-cute-butt!' look. "Er…Well, ok, it's like this. I was walkin' and I felt Goten's ki, but I didn't go over or anything 'cuz he was actually with a girl on his own will. So, I'm standin' there, acting like I'm not paying attention and she starts walking towards me and Goten was smirkin' behind her. She reaches me and puts on an act on how she needed a ride home, and that I should fly her 'cause I was nicer and cuter than Goten. Well, I said yeah because Goten had that jokin' look on his face, and I guess that she didn't know that we knew each other. So, yeah. I picked her up *glares from Pan* and started flying and Goten flew underneath me and I 'dropped' her. But, she didn't look very scared like we thought she would. Yeah, then Goten caught her and when we were flying to get Goten above me, he let her go too early. *Pan gasps* Oh wait, it gets better. When Goten went to go grab her before she fell too far, she seemed like she was speeding up, and then she stopped all together! So Goten found him a woman who can fly!"

Pan hugged Trunks, "Ok! I believe you! I knew she was different! 'Cause she survived one of my hugs!!"

Trunks blushed, "Uh…well…yeah." 'Geeze, maybe I should hang around what's her name more often…and get Pan jealous! He he…' "Hey, what's that girl's name again?"
"Kaminari." She answered. Pan let him go and they continued on to Pan's house.

"Can you really help my sister?" Jitsy asked from her perch on the Flying Nimbus.

Goten looked down at the 'girl' in his arms to the girl on his niece's cloud, "Well, I can't personally, but I know someone that can. First we gotta find Pan." He located her ki, and started heading towards it. 'Hmm…Trunks is with her. It seems like they're getting closer and closer these days. I guess I'll have to have a 'talk' with him.' Goten smiled as he neared their ki's, which were nearing Gohan's house. "Hang on Jitsy, we're almost there. We have to touch down in an alley near there though. Last time we just flew into the city, people went crazy and wanted autographs. *shiver* I really don't wanna go through that again."

"Okay! What's an alley?" Jitsy asked. Goten looked at her, then remembered that Bushika said that they never got out much.

"I'll show you, here we go." Goten and Nimbus flew down in an alley right where Pan and Trunks passed not too long ago and their way to Gohan's. Goten and Jitsy thanked Nimbus, who flew away, and Goten adjusted Kaminari in his arms and started out. "Now Jitsy, I want you to stay close to me, not everyone here is nice. Okay?"

Jitsy skipped closer to him and grabbed his pant leg, "Ok," she replied in a small voice. As soon as they stepped out, Jitsy's eyes were wide with amazement. She ooh'd and ahh'd over everything that she saw. 'She needs to get out more. But I guess she can't with the Kimatari's always attacking. *sigh* It's better than being like Gohan was.' He laughed at Jitsy again when she tried to stop in front of a house to admire it. "C'mon, we're almost there."

~~~~~~~~~~~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~At Gohan's~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan walked into the house and spiked her ki a little, to show her dad that she was home. Said person came running into the kitchen, begging for the asprin. Videl came in after and laughed, "He's still like a kid at heart and always will be."

Trunks laughed, watching Gohan gulp down the whole bottle, "Yup, just like his dad."

Videl looked up, just noticing him, "Oh, hey hon. What are you doin'? Getting away from your dad?" Videl smiled, 'He's always so bent on being better than 'Kakkorott and his brats'. It's just too funny.' There was a knock at the door and Videl looked over to it, "Trunks, do you think you can get that for me? Your closer and I don't think that I want to cross his path," she explained, jabbing a thumb in her mate's direction.

"Sure." Trunks and Pan walked to the door and Trunks opened it to reveal Goten carrying Kaminari with a little girl clinging to his pant leg. "Hey dude. What's with the little girl? You babysitting?" he said, moving to allow Goten to get inside.

"Nah-" Goten started to say, but Jitsy beat him to it.

"Hey Mister!! I have a name and I'm not little and I'm not a baby!!" she protested, stepping bravely away from the safety of Goten's legs. She stepped up to Trunks glaring at him, "I happen to be 5 years old!" She held up five fingers as close to his face as she could get, just for emphasis. Goten and Pan looked like they were going to bust out laughing any second.

Trunks just looked at the girl in front of him and smiled. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it…" He then just gave up and started laughing. Jitsy looked at him, then at the other kids and smiled too.

Pan straightened and asked Goten, "So, what happened to Kaminari this time?" Goten and Jitsy stopped laughing and Jitsy looked like she would cry, but of course, she wouldn't because her sister (Kita) told her not to show others her weaknesses, only if necessary.

"Why don't you bring her in here, sit down, and introduce your other new friend?" Videl suggested from behind Trunks and Pan.

They all turned and looked at her, "I'm sorry Vid, but I actually have to hurry, so I can't stay for long. But we'll go in the living room with you." They all walked into the living room to find Gohan already there sitting in a chair. Goten lead Jitsy to the couch and set Kaminari down. Jitsy looked around in awe for a while before jumping and sitting on the back of the couch nimbly. They others looked a little surprised to see a girl that young do that so soundlessly, without really knowing a lot about her. "I really just came here to see if I could get Pan's help, I wonder…" He started, and sat on the arm of the couch nearest to Kaminari's head, "Jitsy, do you think you can do what Kaminari does and talk to Bushika?"

The little girl glanced at the other occupants of the room and said meekly, "Not to Bushika, but I can to Goushi…he's my twin. My powers aren't as good as dailiko's or tehpay's." She looked down at Kaminari's calm but sweating face. "What do you want me to tell him?"

Goten let out his breath silently and continued, "Well, I was wondering if you could ask them if it was alright if I got another friend of mine to go with Pan. And I know he can pass the barrier too. Please ask Goushi to ask the elders."

While these two were talking, the other conscious members of the room: Gohan, Pan, Videl, and Trunks; were puzzled as to what the other two were talking about. Gohan was the first to ask, "Goten, What are you talking about? And what do you need them to do?"

"Yeah, what do you need us for? And who's all those people you were mentioning?" Trunks asked. Goten looked over at Jitsy to continue, "Hang on guys, I'll tell you in just a second.

Jitsy closed her eyes, **Goushi…Goushi! Can you hear me?** (A/N: Can you hear me now? Good!! Eep! Sorry!! I couldn't resist!! Hehe…)

**Jitsy?? Is that you?**

**Duh dummy!! Who else would it be? Err, nevermind, don't answer that…Can you do me a favor and ask Bushika and the elders something for me and Goten?**

**Uhh…Sure! Bushika's right here, hang on, let us get to the elders.** Jitsy waited a little bit for Goushi to do what he was saying, and listened to the people around her.

"Geeze, is that the wind picking up?" "How's it getting windy inside?" "She's using telepathy." were the various things she heard when Goushi came back, **Dailiko, we're all here, what is it you want?**

**Goten wants to know if he can send a friend with his niece. He knows that he can pass the barrier because he can also ride the cloud thingy. He seems nice, except that he called me a little girl…** There was a small pause as Goushi relayed the message, in full detail.

**Uhh…Jitsy, Bushika says that you are a little girl…but other than that, they say that they trust Goten's judgement if Kaminari trusted him. How's it outside the village? Huh dailiko?!**

**I'll tell you when I get back with both of Goten's friends, tehpay. Thank you.**

**Your welcome. And please tell Goten to hurry back with Kita.**
**I will.** Jitsy closed the link between her and her twin and opened her eyes. "Goten, " she whispered.

Goten reached forward to stabilize the girl, "Whoa there Jitsy, I didn't mean for you to overwork yourself. I guess you haven't used your powers this far away from Goushi before, huh?" Jitsy looked up at him and smiled while nodding her head. "Ok, what did they say, because while you were contacting him, I told them a little about what we need them for. And Pan and Trunks agreed to help. Trunks has just got to call his mom…"

Gohan cleared his throat and spoke, finally, "Oh hey bro, speaking of mom's, Ours called. Why don't you call her and tell her what's goin' on, or tell her that your staying the night here." He looked over at Videl to confirm. Videl shook her head yes and looked at Trunks.

"Oh! Hey, Gohan, do you think you or Goten could IT (Instant Transmition) over and get Bra from over there? 'Cause I was supposed to go over and get her. Please??" Trunks asked.

"Aw…..I'll do it…" Goten started, but got cut off by Jitsy, "HEY!! What about me?! And what's 'it' ??" "Uhh…"

Gohan sighed, "I guess I'll go…Pan? I hope you got a lot of asprin…"

~*~&~*~A/N: Hehe…I had fun doing this one!! I dunno why….ooh….this one's loooong. *YAWN* well…it's 11:11p.m…..I think I'ma go ta bed now…G'Night….
