Disclaimer: I don't any part of Dragonball.



Note: What the author has gone crazy and she had Brolli stab Pan? I think it is time for someone's medication. Sorry I had a moment of insanity there. School is starting to get to me. Anyway thanks for the reviews and keep them coming.



Love's Pain



Gotenks Appears

Trunks paced the floor frustrated as he waited for Goten and Goku to finishing eating. As Trunks made another lap between the kitchen and the living room, a quick movement caught his attention causing him to fall into battle stance. Looking around to the room for an enemy, Trunks relaxed when he realized that it was only Uub trying to get out of his sister's way. Bra had calmed down but her temper was very volatile right now, and the least little thing would set her off. Trunks figured Uub was either very brave or very suicidal to be dealing with Bra like this. Trunks smirked when he saw his father pull Uub and Bra apart and drag Uub outside to "train".

Trunks was headed back towards the kitchen when he noticed the lost look on Gohan's face. Gohan had been relatively okay until his wife came home. After his talk with Videl, Gohan retreated into his own little world.

**FLASHBACK**

Everyone stopped yelling at each other the minute they heard someone at the front door. A second later the door opened and Videl and Chi-Chi walked in.

"Hey guys, what is going on? I figured everyone had left be now." Videl said as she stepped into the living room. Gohan quickly glared at everyone so that they wouldn't tell her what had happened.

"Hey baby. Did you and Mom get everything settled?" Gohan asked hugging her.

"Yeah we did. Gohan, is Pan here? I haven't seen her since the funeral ended. I've never seen her be so withdrawn before. And the last few days I've been tripping over her, so it seems weird not to have seen her in so long."

"Sweetheart why don't you go change?"

"Okay, but you didn't answer my question Gohan. Where is Pan?" Videl said as she made her way out of the room and up the stairs. Everyone looked over at Gohan in concern, as he sighed and began to follow his wife up the stairs. Thankfully, Bulma and Marron were upstairs in Pan's old room tending to Bra, so Videl couldn't become suspicious by their being there. The boys all waited with baited breath (well except Vegeta who didn't care one way or another, and Goku who was being forced by Chi-Chi to tell her what was going on.) to hear what exactly Gohan would tell Videl. The silence in the room was broken by the sound of Videl's anguished cry and the sound of a body hitting the floor. Chi-Chi went running up the stairs the minute she heard Videl cry out. She found Gohan laying his wife on the bed and Videl in a catatonic state. Bulma followed Chi-Chi in and told them to go on that she would take care of Videl. Gohan didn't want to leave his wife but the two women assured them that she would be okay.

"Gohan the only thing that is going to make Videl better now is if Pan returns. There is nothing you can do for her now. I'm so sorry." Bulma said softly to her long time friend's son.

"Thank you Bulma. I'm going to take him downstairs and I guess I'll cook something for everyone to eat. How is Bra?" Chi-Chi asked.

"She is still hurting but I think that she will be okay. Vegeta knocked her out before she could do any damage. It was just to much for her to handle but I believe that a little rest will be good for her. Now go on down and I'll watch Videl."

"Thank you again. Goku please come up here." Chi-Chi yelled to her husband. After they got Gohan downstairs, Chi-Chi pushed her son into a chair in the living room and then went into the kitchen to cook, not knowing what else to do that would be helpful.

** END OF FLASHBACK**

That was hours ago and Gohan still hadn't snapped out of it. Bulma had left Marron with Videl and came downstairs to check on her children. Bra had woken up a little bit after the incident with Videl and she had gone down to get some food and to apologize to her brother for blowing up at him. Bra seemed better but Trunks only seemed more agitated. Bulma tried to talk to him but gave up when he refused to respond to her, so she went back upstairs to sit with Videl and give Marron a rest.

' I can't take this anymore. It is almost 10:00 at night and we still haven't done anything to save them. What is Brolli takes it out his anger on the girls? Okay that's it, I'm leaving. I cannot stand being here anymore. I have to save Pan.' Trunks thought as he subconsciously started powering up. Everyone's head snapped in his direction as they felt his ki rise drastically.

"Boy, stop that before you hurt someone." Vegeta commanded his son as he stalked back into the house. "Sit down and wait. At midnight we will leave and save the girls. Now do as I say or I will have you outside training until it is time to leave." Vegeta said as he walked back outside to "train" with Uub.

"Trunks, your father is right. You need to relax. If you go into battle this tense you will make mistakes and they will cost you. Why don't you eat something and try to rest before we leave?" Goku said wisely.

"My father is right Trunks, you can't face Brolli like this. He will use your anger and pain against you." Gohan said coming out of his stupor. "If you will excuse me, I'm going to go check on Videl." He said as he got up and left the room.

Trunks did as he was told. He ate a little (well a little for a Saiyan) and he sat down on the couch and fell asleep. It was as if he had fallen into oblivion. He was not plagued with nightmares but his sleep was not very peaceful either.

(Pan)

Pan woke up when Brolli threw ice cold, salt water on her. She screamed in pain wishing to die so that she could not feel anymore. Brolli had been relentless in his torture.

**FLASHBACK**

Brolli was waiting to see the hope flicker in her eyes before he made his move. When he finally saw it Brolli pulled the knife out from behind his back and stabbed Pan in the stomach. He made sure to miss her vital organs, because he wanted her torture to last, plus it wouldn't be any fun if she died before the boys got there. She screamed in pain as he pulled the blade out of her and sliced it down her arm, slicing her arm open from shoulder to wrist. Pan tried to back away form him, but Brolli pulled her hair bringing her back to him.

"Uh,uh, little Pan. It will only hurt worse if you run away from me." Brolli said before he ran the knife across her cheek making blood drip down her face. He leaned over and licked the blood on her face, relishing in the fear and terror he felt from her. "It wasn't suppose to be like this. I had this planned out perfectly, but you prince and idiot Uncle have made me wait. So now I have to punish you for their rudeness." Brolli stated as he ran the knife over several more places on her body. The pain became unbearable and Pan passed out before he could do anything else to her.

**END OF FLASHBACK**

Pan whimpered as Brolli walked over to her. He looked down at her with an amused expression before he kicked her in the ribs, braking some in the process. Pan refused to scream anymore for this monster. Brolli kicked her a few more time trying to make her scream. When tears were the only response he received, Brolli began to viciously beat her.

Right as he was about to punch her in the face, a voice stopped him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you" the man said.

"Who the hell are you? And where is Trunks and Little Kakarott?" Brolli said rising to his feet and turning around to face his new adversary.

"I am the fused form of Trunks and Goten. I am Gotenks and I'll be damned if I let you hurt them anymore." Gotenks said powering up to Super Saiyan 3.

"Impressive but it won't save them." Brolli stated moving out of the way and allowing Gotenks to see the girls the first time. His eyes quickly scanned Parisu, when he didn't see any blood of cuts he turned to find Pan. The Trunks side of him screamed in outrage, while the Goten side blanched at the sight of her. Pan was covered in blood, and they could see the exposed muscle and tissue form the cut on her left arm. He could also see shards of glass embedded into the bottom of her feet. Gotenks knew that he had to be strong and cover his raging emotions in a facade of cool indifference if he wanted to defeat Brolli, but the damage done to Pan was making it hard for him.

Pan looked to see what caused Brolli to stop beating her. The sight that met her eyes was dark and blurry, but it looked to be a man with spiked hair. "Daddy?" she questioned softly before the pain and blood loss dragged her back into oblivion.

Gotenk's heart wept when he heard her cry for Gohan. He looked back over at Brolli to see his smirk, when Pan passed out again. "I'll kill you for this. And this time you won't come back." Gotenks promised him.

"You just keep on thinking that. I will never stop until I have destroyed Kakarott's or Vegeta's families."

"We will see about that." Gotenks said as he got into position to destroy Brolli.

"By the way, Pan sure tastes good. Her blood is so sweet. Like nothing I have had before."

Gotenks growled just before he...



Oh no, that Bastard did not just taunt Gotenks did he? I hope Gotenks kick his ass real good. Write in and tell me how you think he will get rid of Brolli. See you soon.

Please, Please, Please Review. If you do then I will put up the next chapter. Not really I'll put it up whether anyone reviews or not but review would be nice. See ya until next time.
