Waiting for the Moon Chapter 3
Something was wrong, she couldn't breathe. Her eyes flew open as she struggled to draw a breath. Already, she could feel the world starting to slip away.
"Trunks!" she screamed in her mind. She tried to yell his name but only succeeded in causing a wave of pain to overtake her. "No, I have to wake him up or else I'm going to die." Pan cried in her mind. It was getting harder to think now as the lack of oxygen to her brain took effect. In a last ditch effort she began to hit him with her fists over and over hoping that the he would wake. "Trunks." was her last thought as she sank into the darkness.
"Hmm, what is it?" mumbled Trunks as he started to wake. Something or someone had been calling to him in his sleep. It had felt like something had been trying to hit him too. He stretched, working the kinks out of his back and settled back down, smiling at the sleeping form lying on him. He reached out and brushed her hair away from her face so he could see her. As he did his fingers slipped across her face and his chest. Surprised he pulled his hand away to look, only to find it covered in blood.
"Pan!" he choked out as he struggled to sit up. She fell off him like an old rag doll and slumped to the side of the bed.
"Oh, Kami!" Trunks groaned when he saw all the blood that covered her and himself. It was like finding her all over again. Quickly he felt out her ki, it was barely detectable; he realized then that she wasn't breathing. "No!" he howled as he began to power up. He wouldn't let her die, they had just found each other. The emotions and rage he felt exploded around him in a blaze of bluish white ki flame. Trusting his instincts he picked up his dead mate cradling her softly to his chest. Gently he lifted her head and pressed his lips to her blood stained ones and forced the surge of power within him into her lifeless body. Slowly he felt his energy drain away as the ki flame enveloped them both. Her eyes shot open as she cried out his name and fell limp against him again. Shocked at what had just taken place Trunks dropped out of whatever form he had taken and quickly checked for a pulse. She had a weak one, but one to say the least. He scooped her up again and took off for Capsule Corp.
"Pan!" cried out Gohan as he felt his daughter's ki disappear. He hadn't been keeping an eye on her ki since the fight had been over and she had won. He didn't want to sense what was going to happen between her and Trunks, but when her ki disappeared completely.
"Damn, what is that?" cursed Vegita as they all felt the explosion of power. They all stood in silence as they felt the power grow and then disappear as Pan's ki reappeared.
"Something's happened, we have to go help them!" Gohan all but yelled as they felt Trunk's ki heading for Capsule Corp.
"We can't son, the moon is already rising and we can't put all those people in danger by going back. Besides Trunks will take care of her, he is her mate." Goku stated softly.
"He's right for once." Vegita muttered after several tense minutes. "We'll leave at first light, there's nothing we can do now."
"Pan." whispered Gohan as he turned away from the direction of Capsule Corp.
"Hang on Pan, please don't leave me again." Trunks pleaded softly to her. She was breathing again, but very irregularly and blood was still oozing from her mouth. Just then the dome of Capsule Corp. appeared on the horizon and he pushed himself harder. He landed with a thud and took off running for the lab where he knew his mother would be. As he reached the door he shifted Pan's body and aimed a small blast at the door, blowing it off the hinges. Bulma stood silently ready to tear into whichever saiyan it was who had just blasted her door down. But before she could utter a word her son covered in blood came rushing at her with a semi-conscious and very bloody Pan in his arms.
"Trunks, what happened." she began, but was cut off by him.
"Kaasan, the regen tank is it up and running?" he demanded.
"Yes, but what happened to her, what's wrong? I made a few modifications to the tanks that could help her." Bulma answered as Trunks turned back to face her (When he had heard the word 'yes' he had turned to go to the regen tank room.).
"In our fight yesterday I basically broke ever bone in her ribcage and caused some internal damage. I couldn't move her with my injuries and she was too unstable to move. So, I took care of her and we fell asleep and when I woke up she was unconscious and had blood running from her mouth. I did some kind of ki technique and brought her back, but she's still in bad shape." He rushed out.
"Alright then, lets go I've developed something that can possibly help her." Bulma said as she brushed the hair from her son's troubled face.
She had already been in the tank for 8 hours and the tube was still carrying fluid tinged with red from her lungs. He watched as the bubbles gently moved her arms and legs, and swirled her hair around her. Seeing all the tubes and wires attached to her unnerved him. He and Bulma had rushed her to the tank room, where Bulma had had the tanks ready for when the men came home from their moon driven battles. Wordlessly they had stripped Pan of her bloody cloths and bandages and attached all the usual monitor tubes and wires. Bulma had developed a new type of ventilator that helped heal the lungs from the inside with the same type of healing fluid that was in the tank, but with an oxygen additive to it that enabled the person to continue breathing. When they had first started the machine the fluid was coming back bright red. His mother had run some tests with the other machines and had told him that she was hurt critically but was stabilizing now that she was in the tank. She had even convinced him to get into the other tank, but he had only gone in for an hour. He hadn't left her side since then.
"Shitma." He cursed softly as he felt Gohan, Goku, and his father heading towards Capsule Corp.
"Dende, do you really have something against me?" he questioned the air knowing that Dende could damn well hear him. He quickly checked the machines and turned back to his mate.
"Thank kami that Kaasan put those new tank cloth suits on you. I wouldn't want Gohan to kill me because his daughter is naked in front of me." He thought to himself and to Pan. Just then he felt all three-saiyan men touch down outside and Bulma going outside to tell Gohan what to expect. Several minutes later they all came into the room. Trunks stood but didn't leave the side of the tank. Gohan silently walked over to the tank and watched as his only child floated quietly in the healing fluid. He finally turned to Trunks and asked in a low tone what had happened. Relieved that Gohan wasn't going to kill him, yet, he let go off the breath he hadn't known he was holding and told the story of what had happened, leaving out the part about them kissing. Bulma spoke up finally after Trunks had finished saying that Pan's condition was improving ever hour, but that she would still need to be in the tank for at least another day just to make sure. She told Gohan he was more than welcome to stay, but he refused the invitation saying he needed to get home to Videl to let her know what was going on. As he turned to leave he said that they would be by later in the day though to check on her and with that he turned and left.
Letting out a huge sigh after Gohan had left the room, Trunks turned back to the tank only to be intercepted by his father.
"I don't see any bond marks on you boy. She did beat you, we sensed your ki go out and then hers.she won and by her right you are her mate! You can not reject her." Vegeta all but shouted at his son.
"Tousan! I know that I am hers', but I wasn't about to mate her in the condition she was in! And I have not rejected her; in fact I've been in love with her for a while now.I just couldn't do anything about it because of Gohan and the age thing. I just had to wait and hope that she would realize it herself and pick me." Trunks shot back defensively.
"Does she know that Trunks?" questioned his mother softly.
"No, not yet at least. I will tell her though." He replied back.
"Alright, Trunks as long as your happy that's all that matters."
"I will be." he stated quietly turning his back to his parents and sinking back into the chair that he had pulled up next to the tank Pan rested in. His mother grabbed his father by the arm, leading him out of the room seeing that her son needed time to think.
"She'll be alright, Trunks." Goku offered as he put his hand on the shoulder of the boy who he had watched grow from a child to a man in a silent offer of comfort and understanding.
"I know."
"She loves you and nothing, not even Gohan, can separate you two now. Try and get some rest, knowing my son he's going to come back wanting answers to some hard questions."
"Hai, Goku-san. Thanks." With that he watched the gentle giant leave the room.
"Pan, do you know how wonderful your grandpa is?" he whispered to the silent form of his mate. Turning on the alarms to the machines to wake him if anything happened, Trunks settled into the chair again and began to meditate.
About 4 hours later (about 6 pmish).
"Trunks? Wake up sleepy-head.Gohan and Videl are here to see you." Bulma whispered to her sleeping son.
"Huh, what? Gohan and Videl? Okay, I'm coming." stuttered Trunks as he rose from his chair, stretching and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He quickly scanned the monitors checking for any changes in Pan's condition, all showing neither improvement nor any setbacks. With a small sigh he ran his hand through his hair trying to tame it down and did a quick clothes check before following his mother out to the sunroom where Gohan and Videl were waiting.
"Gohan-sama and Videl-sama." Trunks spoke as he entered the room bowing at the waist to show respect to his future-in-laws.
"Trunks." Gohan answered with a small nod of his head, accepting his show of respect.
"If you don't mind Gohan and I have a few questions for you and I would like to hear what exactly happened from you." Videl asked.
"Of course I don't mind. Would you like to hear what happened first? Trunks answered. Videl nodded and he proceeded to tell the tale of what had happened again. When he had finished he looked to his mates parents ready to answer the onslaught of questions he knew they had for him.
"Well, I guess the first question we have for you is do you plan to marry our daughter?" Gohan asked in a tone unlike Trunks had ever heard from him.
"Yes, I do. Where or when I don't know since we really haven't discussed anything yet." he replied back.
"Do you have any type of feelings for our daughter, or are you just going to marry her out of duty?" Gohan shot back.
There it was. Gohan had put the big question out and Trunks knew that the answer he gave would either mean his life or a happy future father-in-law. "Well?" Gohan interrupted when he thought Trunks was stalling.
"Alright, you want the truth.yes, I love your daughter. I've been in love with her for awhile now. I didn't want to ruin our friendship if she didn't return my feelings and I didn't want to betray your trust either by going after her. So, all this time I've waited and prayed that she would return my feelings. And she has, I love her even more today then I did yesterday and I want to spend the rest of my life with her." Trunks finished, waiting for Gohan's ki to skyrocket and the blast that would end his life. They sat in silence for a few minutes not sure of what was going to happen.
Finally, Gohan cleared his throat and said the words that no one expected to hear. "I believe that you are sincere Trunks and that you do love my daughter. So, you better take care of her or else I WILL end your life in the most slow and painful way I can find." Gohan smiled to himself as the color began to return to Trunks face, the boy has been scared out of his mind. He chuckled softly and let Videl ask the nest question.
"Where are you going to live? You can't live in Caps. Corp all your life."
"Actually, believe it or not I recently bought 100 acres of forested land between your home and Caps. Corp. Currently, construction has begun on a house I designed and it should be ready to move into by the middle of November. (It's August in the story. ^_^)" he finished.
"What about school and her finding a job?" Gohan jumped in.
"I have no intentions of keeping her from doing whatever she wants to do. She can finish her schooling, start teaching wherever, I would even open a school for her if that's what would make her happy."
"Children, do you want them?" came the question so quietly from Videl that Trunks almost didn't hear her.
"I would love children but that's up to Pan if she wants any, she does have to carry him or her for nine months and then give birth. But if she wants them I'll be more than happy to give them to her." Trunks responded but stopped suddenly when he realized what he said to Gohan and Videl. He had basically told his mates parents that he couldn't wait to GIVE her children, in other words have sex. Suddenly the room filled with a deep resounding laugh followed by those of his parents and Videl as Gohan started to laugh at Trunks blunder.
"Ha, ha ha .Trunks its alright I understand where your going with your answer, ha ha, I said the same thing to Mr. Satan when I asked for permission to marry Videl. Ha ha." roared Gohan as he remembered going through the exact same thing. To dumb founded by the change of events Trunks couldn't help but start laughing as well. After that they all relaxed and discussed plans for the future.
