A/N Sorry the last chapter was so short and that this one took so long. I had a bit of a writer's block.

Chapter 4: Dojo and Apartment



"Pan-Chan" Trunks bolted straight up in bed. A cold sweat drenched his sheets.

Pan's POV

I woke in the room I grew up in, the room I haven't slept in for five years. I climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. As the water ran over my body I closed my eyes. An image of Trunks like I saw him yesterday popped in my head. He hardly changed much. He still wore the same stylish suits; his hair is the same style but a bit longer than it used to be, but his eyes. The once brilliant blues have seemed to dull. He looked so sad like he lost something and when he looked at me. He looked like he was ready to cry. Maybe he did loose something maybe the day so long ago when he told me. No. It can't be. I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts.

I rinsed the soap from my body and stepped out of the shower. Dried off and wrapped in a towel I walked back in my room to find something to wear.

"Hey Hun, what's the plan for today?" I looked up to see Psyfer lounging on my bed, a pillow propping him up behind his back and his hands clasped behind his head.

I looked through my closet as I explained our plans for the day. "First we go to see Arvid at the dojo and meet our first students. Then we go look for an apartment. At three Bra is dragging me to the mall, Oh and you can come with if ya like. Then at six thirty is the party Capsule Corp." I walked out of my closet in dark blue baggy jeans that just stay on my slim hips and an orange tank top with Birdhouse written across the front in black lettering.

"Hay Pan, ya better not wear that tank top unless ya want to show off that tattoo." I told him how much my dad is going to flip when he finds out about my tattoo.

"Don't worry about it." I replied turning my back and lifting my shirt. The tattoo that was usually between my shoulder blades moved it was half way down my back hidden by my tank top.

To finish off my outfit I threw on black and orange boarding sneakers and my orange bandana. I grabbed my gym bag with my training clothes before going down to the kitchen. My mother was just setting breakfast on the table as I sat down beside my father and Psyfer sat on my other side.

As we began eating we heard the front door open and close. Uncle Goten yelled through the house, "Hey bro, Trunks says Panny is back!"

I leaped from my chair and tackled Uncle Goten as he stepped in the doorway. "Hiya Uncle Goten." I giggled as he began tickle me.

"Panny I missed you!" Uncle Goten laughed at me squirming under him.

"Ahem."

Goten and I looked to see Psyfer standing over us.

"Um, hey babe." I smiled the famous Son grin with my hand behind my head. I jumped to my feet and Goten looked up at me. I held Psyfer's hand. "Uncle Goten this is Psyfer. Psyfer meet my Uncle Goten."

Psyfer put out the hand I wasn't holding on to Uncle Goten and helped him up. Goten gladly took Psyfer's hand. Smiling Uncle Goten spoke, "you must be a friend of Pan's from school."

"Yea my best friend." Psyfer said letting go of my hand and putting his arm around me. I heard my father growl and saw my mom smack him in the back of the head. Psyfer continued to speak. "We shared an apartment for the last two years and we worked together in a dojo for almost five years." Psyfer winked at me.

I tilted my head back on his shoulder and looked in his green eyes, "Speaking of the dojo we better get going. Hey Uncle Goten want to meet us at the mall at three. Bra is making Psyfer and me go."

"Kay, I'll be there." Uncle Goten replied looking at Psyfer. ~Damn he's hott! ~

~What the hell is that look in Uncle Goten eyes! Is Uncle Goten checking out Psyfer? NO WAY! ~

"Ready hun?" Psyfer grabbed his gym bag.

"Bye mom, bye dad see ya at three Uncle Goten."

We arrived at the dojo at ten and changed into our training clothes. After walking out of the staff locker room we went in search of Arvid. He was the first friend I made in Philadelphia. His father owns a dojo I worked in for five years and he helped us buy and open our dojo in Japan. I love Arvid's father he was like a father to me over the last five years. Arvid, Psyfer, and I trained with him every morning before school or work.

"Pan, Psyfer!" Arvid stepped out of the old warehouse elevator. Wrapping me in a tight embrace. "Hey sis, what's up?"

"Not much how bout you, bro?" Arvid is kind of the big brother I never had. Well he's more than that in a way he is my brother. "Ya talk to pop lately?"

"I talked to dad last night. What about your dad is he glad your home?"

Psyfer finally decided to join the conversation. "He's thrilled she's home, but he didn't seem to happy to see me."

"Really, why?"

"Daddy's just a little over protective of me." I replied. "He probably thinks Psyfer is stealing his little girl."

"You didn't tell your parents about Psyfer?"

I shrugged. "I never saw any reason to."

"I think they're in for a shock." Psyfer grinned.

"Enough talk lets spar!" I flashed the Son grin.

"Well we better take it easy it wouldn't look good if we were all bloodied up their first day." Arvid said. We spared for a half hour before hitting the showers and Arvid gave us training uniforms for the dojo. Our training uniforms are orange sweats and white muscle shirt for the guys and mine was a white fitted tank top.

Our students arrived at eleven. We gave them each a student uniform and sent the boys and girls to their separate locker rooms. They wore blue sweats and white t-shirts. Arvid was the first to speak after our students emerged from the locker rooms.

"Please sit so we may introduce ourselves and explain our rules. I'm Arvid sensei." He stepped back.

Psyfer stepped forward. "I'm Psyfer sensei."

"And I am Pan sensei." I stepped forward quickly. "There will be two more instructors joining us soon."

Arvid stepped forward again. "Now our rules are simple. You must wear the uniforms we give you. They will be washed here so there is no reason to take them home. We expect you to respect us, each other, and what you learn here. The second and third floors are off limits. Understood?"

"Yes Arvid sensei!" The kids yelled.

"You will have two hour classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."

As I stepped back Psyfer stepped forward. "Each two hour class cost thirty dollars."

Arvid spoke up again. "We will also be opening a gym. Dojo students get free membership. Family of student's membership is half price. Student are also expected to wear their dojo uniforms at the gym."

"Well let's start our first class." I said motioning for them to stand. "Our dojo is not like most."

Psyfer pulled out a clipboard. "Today we do a fitness test. You won't be fighting till we say you are fit enough. If we find you are not fit every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday you will work out running, weight training and doing other exercises. I will be in charge of that group."

As I looked over the children before me most looked nervous, but two were standing tall and confident with Vegeta like smirks on their faces.

By the time we were done with the test there were four students in Psyfer's group. The two that had been standing tall and confident were now standing looking worried with smug looks on their faces. Why did the look so unhappy? Aio and Shiro, the two had the top fitness scores in the class. What am I thinking top is an under statement. Their scores were twice as high as the rest of the class. There is something strangely familiar about those two.

At the end of the two hours our students were seated in front of us on the floor. Arvid spoke. "Great first day everyone."

Psyfer jumped in. "I hope you gave it your best. If you're in my group don't be discouraged. I'll have you in better shape and fighting in no time."

In closing, I said. "Everyone hit the showers. Aio and Shiro I would like to speak to you."

The twins walked over looking very sad. Aio spoke. "Pan sensei, if we did something wrong I'm sorry."

Shiro looked to be on the verge of tears. "If you don't want us to come here anymore we understand."

"SOMETHING WRONG, NOT WANT YOU TO COME!" I practically yelled. "Why on earth wouldn't I want you to come?"

"But we've been kicked out of every other dojo we've gone to." Shiro sniffled.

"Well not this one." I hugged the small girl. "I have a few questions for you." I sat on the floor and they sat in front of me.

"Well what do you want to know?" Aio says looking unsure if he can trust me.

"How did you two become so strong?"

Aio shrugs, "We've always been strong."

"Are your parents unnaturally strong?"

Shiro's shoulders slumped. "We never knew our parents."

Aio put a comforting hand on his sister's shoulder. "Our mother died when we were born and we don't know who our dad is."

"Your mom never told anyone who your dad is."

"Nope."

"Who do you live with?"

Shiro smiled, "Our foster patents. THEIR GREAT!"

"May I speak to them? I promise no to say anything but good."

"I guess it would be ok." Aio nodded.

Shiro took my hand and lead me to a middle aged women.

The women smiled at the kids. "Did you have fun?"

Both kids nodded.

I looked at the kids. "Why don't you two go take a shower and change while I talk to your foster mother."

"Okay" they said together and bounced off to the locker rooms.

"Hi, I'm Son Pan some friends and I own this dojo."

"Nice to meet you Miss Son, I'm Koume. Have the children caused any trouble?"

"They are no trouble at all. I think they are the best students in the class."

"Oh that's great. The poor dears have been kicked out of so many dojos."

"Why is that, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I don't mind at all. Aio and Shiro are so unusually strong most of the instructors were afraid of their strength. I was watching the class, you did some tests on their fitness, am I correct?" Koume asked.

"Yes, we wanted to see the students abilities and limitation."

"May I look at their scores?"

"Of course," I turned away from Koume. "Psyfer, may I have the scores please?"

"Sure," Psyfer jogged over. And handed me the clipboard. "Thanks. Oh Psyfer this is Koume, Aio and Shiro's foster mother. Koume this is Psyfer."

Psyfer shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you." HE then turned to me. "Pan I have so things to take care of with Arvid you don't need me here, do you?"

"No, I'm fine. We do have to leave as soon as I'm done though"

"Okay I'll be ready."

I turned back to Koume as Psyfer walked away. "Here are their scores." I smiled "they are very good."

"Yes well, they can do better."

"Really, are you sure?"

"Positive." Pointing to the chart. "That's only a third of what Aio can bench and Shiro could cut that mile time in half. They can do two or three times better in all these tests."

"Now that you mention it Aio didn't seem to be straining when lifting that weight and Shiro didn't seem winded after that mile." The children came back showered and changed.

Shiro looked up at me. "You didn't say nothin bad, I hope." She smirked.

"Of course not." I said looking at my watch at my watch. "I'm sorry I have to go. I'll see you two Wednesday and Koume I'd like to talk to you two more after I see these two in action."

Shiro hugged me and we all said our goodbyes. I turned to find Psyfer. He was standing talking to Arvid.

"Psyfer we gotta go, we have to find an apartment."

"No need sis." Arvid yelled across the room."

"What ya mean."
