Chapter Title: Indifference Towards a Spiteful Fate
~
When I woke up Goten was home- I could hear him talking to Pan in an almost harsh voice. The tone of it..I wish I could describe it. I've never heard him direct such anger at anyone let alone his niece, and the rigid edge to it..who would have thought that it was possible of *my* Goten-kun? Which inevitably lead me to wonder exactly what had caused him to be so upset, and it didn't necessarily have to be Pan herself- it could be what she said..I knew HE at least would listen to the girl.
Come to think of it, I don't know nor understand practically anything about this situation..and as much as I don't know I simply don't care any more. Let them do as they'd like- what does it matter to me whether my parents leave each other or if my dad screws someone younger then me?
I rolled out of bed, stumbling towards the bathroom. There was no reason to go in there and disrupt them or anything like that. If Pan needed her Uncle then so be it. Obviously if my father wasn't in the picture then _I_ would be the one worried over whether or not she would make a big deal about Goten and MY age difference. She and Goten were very close- he had said as much so many times..
I didn't mind that fact- before all this I had actually liked the idea. It seems incredibly stupid now, but I figured that we might even become friends one day since we both loved the same man- her in obviously a niece- like way. But now I just wasn't sure of what to make of her. She seemed so..weak, which was definitely surprising to say the least. Who could possibly think of this inflexible cold girl as weak?
How could my father choose such a weakling over me?
I sighed, of course. I was jealous. Not only did I have to make such a fool of myself in front of my father and then in front of this- this child!- but now I'm jealous?! Just great..! I had no right to be- it's not like I had forced my father to choose between me or her and he had chosen her or anything..
But then, in a way, I had.
With a sigh, I decided to be rid of this mess once and for all- it was obvious now that I have no right to intrude in whatever was going on and so I'll leave them alone. It's the only thing I can do. And so I pranced into the bathroom, intent only on preparing myself for the task at hand- forgetting all of this little mess and having some fun for a change.

By the time I left the bathroom, I felt like a changed woman. Everything that had seemed bleak and depressing before was shinny and new. As strange and stupid and demented as that sounded, it was the truth. It was a wonder what a shower and spending an inordinate amount of time fixing your hair, clothes, and make-up could do to a girl!
I mean- I practically SKIPPED into the room still occupied by the uncle and niece, not even caring that I was interrupting what looked like a very important discussion. With a flick of my hair, I plopped down beside Goten, my head resting on his shoulder.
"Bura!" Goten started in shock. Pan winced and looked at the floor. He frowned at my choice in clothing (which consisted of a pale pink halter top and a short black skirt), "Why are you in that?"
I smiled at him, "I thought we might be able to go out tonight- I'm so tired of all this." I waved at the room around me carelessly. "And anyway- this is our anniversary."
"Our anniversary of what?" Goten blinked, and suddenly his face changed back to the perplexed expression he normally wore. "But.but! I wrote everything you told me down on that calendar and I look at it every day and there was nothing for today!?"
"Well I should say it's going to be our anniversary," I reassured him, smiling broadly. "Since I'm accepting the ring you offered me a few weeks ago."
His eyes widened and his mouth slowly grew into a shamelessly happy grin, "Really?!" And then he frowned questioningly. "But I thought you said that you had to ask your dad first?"
"He doesn't care," I smiled, but I wasn't prepared for the tumult of emotions that passed through me when I admitted this. "And besides- I don't really care either. I just don't understand why I even thought to ask him in the first place!"
I ended it as if it were one big joke, laughing at the fact although I wanted desperately to flee to my room and cry again.. I wouldn't though. I wasn't weak and if I couldn't go for an hour without crying then I deserved what he had said..
Pan made a movement to leave, but I grabbed her by her arm, smiling genuinely at her. "Do you want to come with us?"
She shook her head demurely. "I'm sorry Bura but I can't spend the whole night watching you pretend that nothing's wrong when obviously something very much is."
I dropped her hand and stepped back, recoiling from her as if she were some type of poisonous animal. A venomous snake.. My voice was harsh now, "Why ARE you here then?"
"I came..for your help."
