Previously:  "Place the dragon ball on tip of his hat."  Bulma instructed.  Pan did her bidding and inserted it slowly.  A square popped out from the frame and she jumped.  "That's the serum and my progress.  Take it with you and go to Capsule Corps.  He needs your help and someone is injured."

            "Hai, Bulma-san."  Pan said, grabbing it.

            "Take good care of Trunks for me, Pan."  Bulma smiled as the screen went blank. 

            "Hai."  Pan whispered before running out the door.

('_')

"Don't make this hard on yourself. Just tell me where she is!"  Juunanagou commented as he held Trunks in a choke hold.

"Why are you so desperate on finding her?" Trunks asked as he pulled on the stiff arm encircling his neck.

"I have my reasons."  He replied.  Trunks smirked and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. 

"Then you should I know that I am more powerful since you last fought me."  He replied and exploded with power.  Juunanagou's grip slipped and Trunks blasted away from him, by planting a foot in his stomach.  Juunanagou placed a hand on his sore abdomen and winced at the slight pressure.  Trunks watched in amusement and cocked his head to the side.

"Damn demi-saiyain brat."  Juunanagou hissed.  Trunks brushed his lavender bangs away from his narrowed eyes.

"I won't let you hurt her.  I won't let anyone hurt her again!" Trunks declared as he flew forward.

O_o;

"Miss! It's not safe for you to go in there!" Someone yelled.  Pan ignored him and ran past the bewildered workers.  She spotted the injured man on the ground and uncapsulized the needles filled with the serum. 

"What do you think you're doing?" A man yelled harshly as he ran up to her.  Pan glanced over her shoulder before carefully inserting it into the man's arm.  "Get away!" He yelled.  Pan quickly capsulized the needles and blasted upwards leaving the man confused and frightened.

"Unh…"

"David, are you all right?" The man asked, concerned.

"I never felt better!" The injured man leapt to his feet and stretched.  "I feel awesome!" Carl fell down on the ground, staring at the fully recovered man.

(((_-)

Juunanagou braced himself for the assault when a voice he recognized so well made him stiffen and lower his arms.

"Juu-kun!" He looked past Trunks who had also stopped and stared at the newcomer.  Pan's long dark hair flew around her face as she hovered, staring at him with misty eyes.  "Juu-kun!" She flew forward and Trunks stopped her with his arm.

"Stay back, Pan.  He's dangerous."  He warned.  Pan paused and her eyes widened.  She pushed Trunks away and flew forward to him. 

"Juu, you're bleeding!"  She gasped as she stared at the dark stain on his side.  Juunanagou smiled softly at her and covered it with a hand.

"Iie, it's nothing."  He replied.  With his other hand, he swept her in a fierce hug.  Pan wrapped her arms around his neck and returned it, happily.  Trunks stared at the couple before glancing away from the sight.  "I was so afraid something happened to you."  He said.  "The building took longer than I thought."

"It's all right."  Pan murmured.  "You had to go help those other people."  Trunks coughed and Pan blushed, unwrapping her arms and staring shyly at her feet.  "Em, Trunks-kun.  This is Juu-kun, he took me in and raised me after Okaasan died."

"Was it repaying your debt?" Trunks asked, bitterly.  Pan looked up and glanced at Juunanagou in confusion.  Juunanagou had the same stone expression as Trunks and he met his gaze evenly.

"At first, yes."  He replied.

"What?" Pan's eyes widened as Juunanagou turned his gaze on her.  His expression softened and regret and sorrow filled his voice.

"Pan-chan.  I killed your father."  He said.  Pan stared at him, her world spinning wildly.

"You killed my father?" She repeated softly.  Her hands curled into fists and she closed her eyes.  Juunanagou quickly caught her with his free arm as she fell.  Trunks flew over to them and took her away from him.

"At least you were truthful."  He commented.  "I'm going to take her back to the house."  Juunanagou nodded and Trunks turned around.  "You should do something about that wound."

"No matter.  I'll die soon anyways."  Juunanagou replied, simply.  Trunks turned around with surprise and the cyborg chuckled softly.  "I've done it once, twice wouldn't be so bad."

"Come back with us.  Pan would be upset if you left, suddenly."  Trunks said as he turned back around.

"She is already upset.  She probably hates me now."  Juunanagou responded.

"Pan hates no one."  Trunks stated and blasted off.  Juunanagou stared after him for a few moments before turning the other way and flew off

(;_;)

"Mama! What's wrong?" Little Pan ran into the kitchen.  She had heard her mother drop a dish she was drying.  "Mama!" Videl was hunched over the counter, trembling.  She slowly slid to the ground, her blue eyes wide and vacant.  "Okaasan!"

"Panny."  Videl's voice was weak as she turned her head slowly to face her daughter.  "Gomen ne."

"Okaasan?" Pan stared at her in fear.

"Otousan is dead."  Videl said.  Pan gasped and shook her head wildly.

"Iie! It's not possible!" She cried.

"I'm sorry."  Videl murmured. 

"Okaasan!" Pan sobbed, flying into her arms.

(o_O)

"Otousan!" Pan screamed as she shot up from the bed.  She heard Trunks dash up the stairs and into her room, nevertheless, she didn't release her hold on the bedsheets.

"Panny…"  Trunks began.

"Where is he?" Pan demanded, her eyes wide with anger.  "Where is he?"

"I don't know."  Trunks replied, softly.

"Liar."  Pan seethed.  She knocked his hand away and stood up angrily.  "I will find him myself!"

"Revenge is not the answer, Pan."  Trunks told her.

"Revenge? What about you, great golden warrior?" Pan snapped.

"I had to stop them from hurting others.  Juunanagou is not evil anymore."  Trunks replied.  She paused and hung her head. 

"He took him away from me.  He took my father! He took our happiness! Our hope!" She whispered.  "I just---I just can't believe it! I can't believe he would do such a thing."  Hot tears fell to the ground and she clenched her fists.  "I don't know if I'll ever forgive him."

"Then don't."  A new voice stated.  Pan's head shot up and she saw Juunanagou sitting on the windowsill.  "I regret what I did, but I can't change the past.  It's all right if you can't forgive me."  Seeing her speechless, he continued.  "I was looking for you because I needed to tell you something.  I'm leaving this world.  My body has begun breaking down. It seems that my human side has rejected my other side."

"How long?" Pan murmured.  "How long do you have?"

"About a month or so."  Juunanagou smiled, lazily.  "But if you insist on taking out your revenge, you may do so."  Pan slowly raised her arm and aimed her palm at him.  Juunanagou closed his eyes and patiently waited.  Trunks watched her anxiously as she gathered energy in her palm.  A streak of blue missed the cyborg and hit the wall, making a perfect circle.

"I—I have to think."  Pan stammered as she quickly ran out the room.  Trunks prepared to run after her but Juunanagou shook his head.

"She needs time.  Don't crowd her."  He told him.

"Were you scared?" Trunks asked.

"Shitless."  Juunanagou admitted, looking out the window.  "I thought she was going to kill me for sure."

"If that beam went through your heart, you would have died."  Trunks said, solemnly.  "I experienced it from Cell."  Juunanagou grimaced and swung his legs over the windowsill.  "You're a lot different than I thought you were."

"That is because I met Pan, and she changed my life.  She helped me remember before I became a cyborg."  Juunanagou said as he ducked his head.  "If only Juuhachigou had the same experience."

"I'm sure she did."  Trunks said, mysteriously.  Juunanagou turned around in surprise and found out that the room was empty and he silently sat, watching the lone figure walk across the lawn.
