Chapter 11

As Trunks walked along side of Pan a new feeling of hope began to bubble inside of him, he thought that perhaps given time things could work out. He knew Bra did right about him not 'really' loving her yet, but he was beginning to think it might not take long to happen. There were so many things he wanted to show her but he didn't know what she liked and disliked, or what she found boring and exciting.

This is going to be tough, I guess I'm just going to have to go with my instincts and hope that I pick the right things to show her.

Pan looked up at Trunks who seemed to be in deep thought while walking, Pan was still feeling a bit nervous but not in a bad sense, it was more like the unsure nervous sense or the excited sense. For she didn't know what he had in store for her and she liked the not knowing, Perhaps I can find some happiness here.

"So where do we go first?" Pan asked trying to find out some information.

Trunks looked over at her with a smirk, "You're about to find out." Pan arched an eyebrow, as they kept on walking down some stairs and through a hall they reached a black door.

"You ready?" Trunks asked holding the latch of the door, Pan nodded with a small smile.

Trunks then opened the door and Pan's eyes were hit with a golden light, as she walked forward the light cleared and Pan's eyes widened in delight, she saw before her the back garden.

Trunks watched Pan nervously hoping to see if she liked what she was seeing, "Well? Do you like it?"

Pan turned back to face Trunks who stood out like a black rose in a red rose bush, all this beauty surrounded them and all the majestic colors red, pink, green, yellow, white and dozens of others and he was dark and ugly. Pan almost frowned, was she feeling sorry for him?

"Beast its beautiful," Trunks smirked, Pan then heard the sound of water and when she passed by a huge rose bush she saw a grand water fountain in the center of the garden, "Oh my gosh." Pan said as she suddenly recognized that fountain from the one in her dream.

How is that possible? I've never seen this fountain in person…only in my dreams, the same thing with the young prince in the painting I saw him in my dream first.

Trunks noticed the wondering look on Pan's face and it worried him, was she displeased? Was she ill? He decided to stop guessing and just find out, "Pan?" he asked as he stepped over to her, Pan turned over to look at him, "Are you ok?"

Pan nodded, "I'm fine."

"This is my favorite place," Trunks began, Pan looked over at him curiously she found it strange and confusing, how could such an ugly and supposed 'mean' creature like him, like something so beautiful?

Pan stop being ignorant! Dammit of course he can like something like this, I mean who wouldn't? Its lovely!

"Every day I come out here and every night I stand on my balcony and watch the moon cast its silver light over my roses and crystal fountain waters," Pan was left dumbfounded at how eloquently the Beast was speaking to her, "It looks so enchanting and magical…and beautiful, yet even in the day time its magnificent to look at and be in."

Pan smiled as she gazed at all the curtains of roses and the lilies in the fountain pool, the birds nesting in the cherry blossom trees looking perfectly content and happy…and the way the healthy green trees danced in the wind together…everything was so overwhelmingly breathtaking.

"Beast," Pan began, Trunks looked over to her, "This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life…and you describe it at night so wonderfully that I'd love to see it," Pan paused again she could not believe how taken away she was by all of this and the way the Beast was acting, "You've left me in awe of all of this."

Pan saw his eyes light up and a smile go across his animal face, Pan didn't cringe or wince at the sight of his sharp fangs she didn't feel appalled at by his appearance either…in fact she smiled back and laughed, then so did he. It was a good, strong and healthy laugh, Pan never saw him laugh before, at first she never thought he had ever, she was feeling more better about being here with every passing second.

"I haven't laughed in years." Trunks said as he looked up at the birds in the trees.

"Really? How awful." Pan said feeling once again sorry for the Beast.

"Yes well…I never had much of a reason to laugh." Trunks replied as a bird then landed on his shoulder.

Pan giggled she found that to be the sweetest and most touching thing she had ever seen in her life, a little blue bird found the Beast to be a gentle friend to perch on…Pan was beginning to feel the same way, minus the perching.

I have been taught by a bluebird, Pan thought to herself with a smile…seems there is a lot I didn't know and there was a lot I didn't see or chose not to see, if anything I was a worse person then Beast…well not anymore.

"Beast," Pan began…Trunks looked away from the bluebird as it flew back to its little nest and then gazed at Pan seeming happy, "I'm sorry for being so…well…"

"Its ok Pan…I don't really blame you." Trunks said cutting Pan off; he didn't want Pan to apologize cause he didn't think she needed to. In truth the fact that she even thought she had to apologize to him after taking her from her family shocked him completely in the best sense of course.

"Well still…I was…well…I didn't see things the way I see them now, you're nice and gentle and I never saw that, I'm sorry." Pan said feeling good to get that off her chest.

Trunks was left speechless, she was apologizing to him? And in such a sincere and honest way…No one would ever do that to me? No one ever has done that to me…apologize…now why am I feeling some strange feeling in my gut, I have never felt this before. What is it? Is it Pan?

Pan then began walking over to the fountain as Trunks was trying to figure out why he was feeling all warm and fuzzy inside now…suddenly his thought was broken when he heard a large hawk cry…as he looked up at the sky he saw a large hawk swoop down at Pan and begin to attack her. Trunks became infuriated and he felt his animal instinct take over…he raced like the wind over to her and pounced on the enormous hawk with a huge earth shattering roar. Pan fell back and stepped away from the fight as she watched in horror the Beast and the Hawk go at each other. The hawk was attacking Trunks with his sharp talons from above while Trunks was trying to claw him from below. Trunks then managed to claw the hawk's belly and the hawk then retreated, Trunks then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, he growled in pain and he found a huge open wound there.

Pan was frozen solid as she saw the hawk retreat, she then saw the Beast on his knees, she noticed the wound and raced over to him.

"Oh Beast!" Pan cried as she knelt down beside him.

"Pan." Trunks said in a low tone, he was fatigued and in a lot of pain.

"Don't worry Beast I'll take care you." Pan said as she ripped a part of her gown and rapped it around the Beast's wound. As she did this Trunks had a flashback of when Bra did the same exact thing for Goten.

"Pan why are you tearing up your dress to put on my bloody arm?" Trunks asked curious to hear her answer.

Pan looked up at him almost surprised that he was even asking her that, "Cause your hurt…and I won't let you stay that way."

Trunks just looked as Pan bandaged up his wound, She said the same thing Bra said.

"By the way…thank you…for saving my life." Pan said, as she looked at 'the beast' and in his dazzling blue eyes she saw a 'your welcome' there. Trunks merely nodded, "Your welcome Pan…I'll never let anything bad happen to you."

Pan smiled, and tied up his bandage she knew he was sincere and that felt good for some strange reason, "Let's go clean the wound up."

As they got up to go inside Pan felt something odd inside of her…she had no clue what it was or why she was feeling it. All she thought of was fixing 'the Beast's' wound, yet he suddenly became so important to her…why? Pan didn't want to debate that…but she wanted to know what she was feeling. She then looked up at Trunks who had his eyes shut in pain…she then stopped walking and with both hands grabbed Trunks' large paw, his silver claws were covered in hawk blood yet Pan ignored it, Trunks looked at Pan shocked as she touched him with no fear or shuttering, she looked into his eyes and said, "You'll be ok Beast…try not to think about the pain."

They stood like that for a minute or two before walking again…and heading into one of the sitting rooms. Neither knew what the other was thinking but, it was definitely something new for the both of them.
