*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bra stormed into the house slamming the door behind her and stomped towards the stairs. Trunks and Goten, who were watching TV, turned towards her. "Hey Bra, what's up?" Trunks asked sitting up. He yawned and stretched a bit.
She stopped her rampage and turned to them, a glare on her face. "It's Pan.she started acting all bitchy at the mall and disappeared! I called her house before I came home and she isn't there."
Goten sat up now, his face pale. "What? What happened? Oh man! Mom's gonna kill me!" Maybe if he didn't mention Pan nobody would notice. Yeah right...
"If Gohan doesn't get to you first." Trunks muttered in reply.
Goten cringed at the thought of having to face his brother. He was just a scary as he was dangerous. "Some friend you are...you don't have to rub it in."
"Alright.calm down. We'll help you. Bra, you call around to see if anyone saw Pan, Goten you check the city and I'll check the area around the house." Trunks said softly. Now wasn't the time to panic. You do that later if you don't find her.
"Why do you get to check that area? She's my niece."
Trunks shrugged. "Fine...I just thought it would be better if I went because of Goh-"
"Good point." Trunks walked to the door and flew out smirking at Goten's reaction. Goten followed in tow but stopped when he noticed that Bra was still standing there staring at the floor.
"I didn't mean to make her mad like that, really I didn't" She muttered more to herself than to Goten. Damn her mouth! She always seemed to say something to tick Pan off. Expect this time she knew she'd gone too far. "She's my friend.I hope she's alright."
"Don't worry.I'm sure she's fine." Goten whispered hugging her before he left.
*~*~*~*~*~
"So you haven't seen her? I figured that she wouldn't be there." Trunks sighed. Goten had just called him on his cell phone. Leave it to Bra to piss someone off. She did it to him all the time but it wasn't a reason for Pan to run off like she did, well maybe...this was Bra.
"I'll leave things to you and go back to Bra.She might need a friend right about now." Goten said.
"Alright, I'll keep looking."
"Thanks Bro." With that Goten hung up leaving Trunks to fly in silence. Quietly he landed in a grassy forest area. He didn't know why but something was telling him to stop here and go on. As he walked on the trees slowly began to decline in number, leaving a large, clear circular opening with a large mountain in its center. On the far right Trunks could see a figure sitting on a high ledge, it's legs hugged to its chest. Even though he couldn't see all of it he still recognized the shadow...Pan. He heard a small sniffle then watched as a tiny tear dropped and hit the ground.
"It's her hiding place." He realized. This wasn't the first time Pan had wandered away. Her intentions were never to run away but to get away. She would always come back in a day or two. Trunks slowly crossed the field getting tangled in flowers and small bushes along the way but stopped suddenly. She was not alone. Trunks listened closely as words of comfort and encouragements were whispered before calling out to her. "Pan? Panny is that you up there?"
"No.it's me, Chi-Chi." The voice answered sarcastically. "What do you want?"
"I came to bring you home.me and Goten have been looking all over the place for you, we were worried sick."
"Trunks you don't have to bring me home." She answered softly.
"Yes I do. It's a favor for Goten. Gohan's gonna kill him." Well not really, when it came to getting out of Gohan's way Goten was an expert. He called it a martial art; the run like hell style and it seemed to work well, very.
"Why would I have you bring me home when it's in close flying distance? Did you ever think about that?" Her voice echoed into the night sky sounding more frustrated then sad.
Trunks crossed his arms over his chest, a sign that he wasn't leaving. There was more whispering after a while and Trunks began to wonder if they had forgotten about him. "I'm still here you know." Trunks muttered impatiently.
Pan turned to him for the first time. Her face displayed no emotion but her voice told her story. "Yeah, I know.that's the problem."
"Pan stop acting so childish. Whatever Bra did to you we can straighten it out when I bring you back. Now please come down here." He could stand there all night if needed but he knew one thing, when he did leave to go she'd be with him.
"Leave me alone."
"No."
"Then.I'll make you!" Pan roared as she flipped down and landed gracefully on her feet. She shifted her feet into a fighting stance and waited glaring at him.
Trunks' eyes widened with shock. "You don't think that I'm going to.you've got to be kidding me." Pan ran at him flipping onto her hands and grabbing his neck with her legs before tossing him to the ground.
"Does it look like I'm joking?"
Trunks stood up slowly holding his neck. It hurt like hell and he was sure he would feel it in the morning. "Pan." He didn't want to hurt her but she was really pissing him off. She had started towards him again aiming to kick but he catch her leg and pushed her back, firing a ki blast at the same time. It was a cheep move he knew but if it knocked her out he could say that they had a sparring match before he brought her home. Much to his dismay she stood back up again. Most of her clothes were tattered and hung revealingly in many places thanks to his blast and Trunks couldn't help but stare. His attention was brought back to the fight when she powered up, her eyes flashing a brilliant green. She was a...a...but when? Pan disappeared suddenly appearing behind him and spin kicking him in the head. Trunks, not expecting the move flew a distance, skidding in the dirt. He recovered standing to his feet but not fast enough for she never stopped her attack and was coming at him again aiming for his face. It was obvious that she wanted to leave a mark, permanently. Before she hit though, her fist was stopped by hand...the second voice he had heard. Angel stood there with her fists in his hand shaking his head. Pan stared at him for a while then relaxed, a violent spasm racking her body, causing her to scream in pain and drop from super saiyen and fall to her knees. She had used her anger as energy but it began to build up and soon became too much for her once she stopped fighting.
"Are you alright.?" The other's voice was soft and deep. Trunks could feel jealousy form inside of him. The way he held her and she responded made him want to rip the other to pieces. Though his insides were screaming his facial features remained the same.
"Yeah.I guess so.sorry." She whispered back letting Angel help her to her feet.
"Come on.let's go." he whispered leading her towards home.
"Wait, who the hell are you?" Trunks yelled. Who did this guy think he was? "Pan does Gohan even know you're hanging around him?" he pointed an accusing finger at Angel, who stared back.
Pan smirked a taunting look on her face. "So what if he doesn't?" Angel exchanged glances between Trunks and Pan, he didn't like where this was going. "It's none of your business what I do, you're not my father!"
Trunks grabbed Angel and pushed him away, receiving a small grunt in response. "I care about you more than he does, come on.you're not acting like the old Pan I know."
"That's because you didn't know me then and you don't know me now. How dare you come to me ordering me around like a child! In case you haven't noticed, I've grown." Pan retorted. The old Pan...how dare he!
"Trunks, please, just leave her alone." Angel pleaded he really didn't like where this was going. He really didn't want to fight, as a matter of fact he wanted to go back home to the Son house, all this fighting was giving him a headache.
"Like hell I'm not, I told you to back the fuck away from her. The last thing I want is for you to drag her off into the woods somewhere." Pan blinked at this statement, since when was he so protective of her and when did he start caring?
"No, I want to take her back to her house." Angel stated coldly. This guy was really starting to piss him off. Trunks shoved Pan behind him and readied himself into a fighting stance. Pan was his, not this guy's. He had known her, her whole life. She was beautiful and even more so since she came back, funny and smart. Angel readied himself also, holding his hands in front of him as if he were holding a weapon of some sort. Trunks fought off a laugh and tried to 'gently knock the guy off his feet. Who the hell did he think he was trying to fight him of all people? His attempt was blocked by a force field of some kind and a strong one at that. The boy still held his same position never moving. Pan walked to Angel's side rested a hand on his shoulder; it was her turn to smirk. The look on Trunks' face was priceless and reminded her of a kid that had just been slapped for talking back to an adult. /Cocky bastard.kick his ass Angel, for me /
/ You know I'm not a fighter Pan. / He moved for the first time giving her a look and she motioned for him to follow her. It was getting late after all and he was sure her parents were wondering where she was.
"Pan." Trunks shook as he spoke, his words soft yet firm. It was clear that she didn't want him around but he wasn't about to except that. That guy...he had to go.
"What?" She turned facing him.
"I can't let you go with this person." Pan made a face while Angel held his head shaking it slightly. He knew this was going to happen, he just knew it. Migraine city...
"I don't see what the big deal is, you're not my father or my boyfriend so really your words mean nothing to me." She shouted her voice rising steadily.
"Pan...if I can't have you...then...no one will!" Trunks roared forming a ki blast and firing it at Angel. Pan screamed watching as flames and fire from the blast engulfed her friend. Tears forming in her eyes she sunk to the ground as the smoke cleared leaving only a burn mark of where he once stood.
Angel: Yeah...took you long enough.
