An: Ok I'm attempting another chapter… wish me luck… ARGH! Thanks to
everyone that's been reading this! And thanks for the reviews! Oh and I hope
Meg (aka The_Teenage_Hybrid) doesn't mind me doing this but I HIGHLY
recommend her new one shot 'Cabin Fever' so go check it out! It was REALLY
good! *Wink* Oh and for your question C-town Chica, about Marron's death being
important in this story or not well the truth is I needed some kind of
distraction/event and I also wanted to get rid of Marron, so I killed two birds with
one stone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was the day of Marron's funeral, two days since they found out about her death
in the papers. Katie hadn't left her room since she found out and no one could get
through to her. The only person she was letting in was Uub, and everyone was
very grateful he was around to support her. Katie blamed herself for Marron's
death because she had been so cruel to her before she left to New York. Everyone
knew better but she wouldn't hear any different. Goten had been dealing with
Marron's death surprisingly well, and Bra had been supporting him when he
needed someone to talk to about it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Katie sat with Uub in her bedroom. She had stayed in her room since she found
out about Marron. She still couldn't believe that she was never going to see her
sister again, even though they didn't get along, she still loved her. Guilt plagued
her mind as she thought back to all the mean things she had said to her and
when she changed her whole look so she didn't look like Marron anymore. Now
she wished she had kept her look instead of cutting off all her long blonde locks
and dying her hair black with red streaks. It really didn't look right with her
piercing blue eyes. Uub sat on the bed watching as Katie's face contorted in all
different ways with each emotion she was feeling. He loved to watch her; she was
the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even with her eyes all red and puffy.
He hated to see her in so much pain, it broke his heart and he wished he could
take it all away from her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Z had delayed leaving until after the funeral, because he didn't want to upset
anyone any more than they already were. Z and Pan planned to leave the day
after the funeral, she had discussed it with her loved ones and told them it wasn't
permanent and that she would be coming back. Although Bra had her suspicions
about whether that was true or not and was going to talk to Z about it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bra stood at Z's door watching him try and fix his tie, his packed bags were lying
on the floor, along with a few capsules. Bra entered his room and sat down on the
edge of the bed.
"Z, we need to talk," she said as Z eyed her suspiciously.
"About?" he asked, still trying to get his tie to sit right.
"Pan" she stated, noting his confused expression she continued, at the same time
fixing his tie for him "I don't think it's a good idea for you to take her with you,
can't you just talk her out of it Z? Please? She's my best friend I don't think this
is the best thing for her right now…" she finished as tears welled up in her eyes,
but she blinked them away and looked at Z, pleading with him. He pulled away,
staring coldly at her.
"She's a grown woman Bra, I can't stop her from coming if that's what she
wants" he stated and got up from the bed "Now I have to finish packing some
things into these capsules so if you'll excuse me" he finished gesturing for her to
leave by opening his door for her. Bra just rolled her eyes at him and growled
lightly before leaving.
"Fine!" she snapped at him before walking off down the hallway.
'I am really going to regret this' he thought before packing the last of his things.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trunks had been training with his father for the last few days, and he was really
getting the shit beaten out of him, but at the same time becoming stronger and
quicker. He could sense the power Z had and he needed to become stronger, he
couldn't live without Pan and if he needed to he would fight Z to stop her from
leaving. Trunks secretly hoped it wouldn't come to that but at the same time he
really wanted to beat the shit out of Z for touching Pan, or even being close to
her. The jealousy that burned inside Trunks was enough to make him lose control
and possibly kill Z, if he had the power to that is. Vegeta had been ruthless in his
training, knowing exactly why Trunks had started to train all of a sudden and
wanting his son to succeed he was making sure his power would grow enough to
at least stand a chance against Z. Even though Z is Vegeta's son too he felt he
should help Trunks, Z had his own father at home.
Vegeta had trained Pan quite a lot since she was young and although he would
never admit it or let her know, he cared for as he cared for his own daughter, and
he respected her feisty nature and strong will power and determination. She was
the perfect mate for Trunks and he was going to make sure Trunks could win her
over by doing the only thing he knew how to do, apart from threatening Pan until
she gave in and mated with Trunks, he trained Trunks instead, so that he could
fight for his future mate.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pan had finished packing everything days ago and she was excited about leaving
with Z. She was now certain leaving was the right thing to do, and nothing was
going to get in her way. Everything was organised and she hadn't even bothered
to tell Trunks she was leaving, although she was sure he would have found out by
now. Knowing Bra, she would have told him as soon as she found out. Pan sighed
at the thought of leaving Bra and Lexi but knew it was what she needed to do. It
was time to move on and this was her chance to do just that.
Pan had dressed in a long black dress that hugged her curves nicely, at the same
time being suitable for a funeral. It hung loosely at the bottom and had a slit up
the side, showing off her perfectly toned thigh. She was actually pretty upset
about Marron's death. They had actually been friends during their childhood and
although they were total opposites, they did get along quite well. The only reason
they had stopped being friends was because Marron turned into a snobbish bimbo
in college and started dating guys like they were going out of season. Pan could
have sworn that she had a new guy every week. They're friendship went down hill
from there and that's when Bra and Pan became even closer friends. They both
stopped hanging out with Marron and instead hung out with Goten and Trunks.
Everything was perfect back then…
Pan's good mood was lost as she thought of her old friendship with Trunks; things
had changed so much since then. Her only wish was that maybe one day she
could forgive him; she wasn't even sure why she was still angry with him.
"ARGH! Life is so damn confusing! I wish I knew what was going on in my head!
DAMN you Trunks what are you doing to me?!!!" her voice echoed through the
empty house. Everyone had already left and she was going to be late for the
funeral if she didn't hurry up.
"Pan" Trunks voice was heard from the doorway of Pan's room "Who are you
talking to?" he asked, looking confused.
Pan jumped up quickly and turned around. Trunks stood with his mouth hanging
open, staring at her. She looked so innocent even with the glint of anger in her
eyes. He took in the sight of her revealed toned thigh and gasped inwardly, he
slowly moved his eyes up, taking in every inch of her perfect body, to meet hers.
This had happened many times before, Pan was all too familiar with the deep blue
oceans that she was drowning in and decided to try and snap out of it. She shook
her head, and closed her eyes. Trunks stood staring at her closed eyes, as if he
could see through them, for a few extra seconds until Pan's voice broke through
the silence that was surrounding them. "We should go, we're going to be late"
she said, her eyes still closed shut. She hadn't even noticed her eyes were closed
until she felt a warm breath tickle her neck and smelt the all too familiar scent of
her past love. Trunks stood behind her, running his hand through her long dark,
almost silk like, hair, taking in her scent. His lips met her neck and he kissed his
way down until he reached the spot he had never dared to linger. It was the one
spot where he could claim her for an eternity, yet he knew she would pull away if
he dared go any closer to it. He noticed her shiver under his touch and thought it
would be better if he stopped, making her feel uncomfortable was the last thing
he wanted to do. "You're right, we should go" he stated, with that, they both left
the house, choosing to fly to the funeral they were both dreading.
Feelings of Regret, lust, sorrow, hurt, anxiousness all whizzing around in Pan's
mind caused her to lose consciousness and fall towards the ground. She couldn't
stop herself from falling as she regained consciousness. Trunks flew down
underneath her, catching Pan in his arms and holding her tight against his chest.
"Panny, are you ok?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.
Pan stared up into his eyes, her view blurry. "Trunks, is that you? You've come
back to me… Trunks I … " she trailed off as she lost consciousness again. Trunks
flew towards the CC house; he knew his mother would be able to help her. He
just hoped she hadn't left for the funeral yet. He arrived at CC, sensing Gohan
waiting for him he approached the infirmary where he knew Gohan was waiting,
after sensing Pan's ki drop. What he didn't expect was to see Vegeta and Z there
too. Z had a very worried look on his face and Vegeta had a blank expression.
Which was strange since he almost always had a smirk on his face or a deathly
glare. Even when he found out about Marron, he smirked. Gohan shot a harsh
glare Trunks' way. "What did you do to her?!" he asked through gritted teeth.
"We were flying towards the funeral and suddenly she just passed out, I flew
down to catch her and she regained consciousness, then lost it again so I flew her
here, I'm really sorry Gohan, I don't understand what's wrong with her" Trunks
finished bowing his head, looking at the ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After a thorough check up of Pan, Bulma concluded that she just needed to be left
alone for a while and that she would wake up soon.
"If she hasn't regained consciousness by the end of the funeral than I will call Dr
Briefs" she told the three concerned Saiyans in front of her. They all nodded and
then Vegeta spoke. "I will stay here with the Brat," he stated, with the same
blank expression. Both Bulma and the three Saiyan men all looked shocked as
Vegeta walked back into the infirmary and closed the door. They just shrugged
and reluctantly left for Marron's funeral.
Vegeta sat with Pan, watching her unconscious form writhe and twitch, as if she
was having a nightmare. "Brat" vegeta stated firmly "It's time you wake up and
confront your problems head on, I knew this would happen if you didn't" he
finished with a distasteful grunt.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The funeral had finished and everyone had ended up at CC, where Bulma had
organised a big feast for the Saiyans and some tea and biscuits for the ladies. 18
and Krillin were both terribly distraught still and Chichi and Videl made sure they
comforted them both as much as possible. Lexi sat on Krillin's lap, hugging him
tightly; she didn't like to see him cry. Lexi didn't like 18 very much but she loved
krillin, they had got along from the first time he met her. Lexi was picky with
people she liked and people found it strange that she liked krillin so much.
Although most people that met krillin liked him, it was still quite unusual.
Pan had yet to wake from her unconscious state and Bulma had become worried,
even though she had already called Dr Briefs and he had checked her over and
said she would be fine and would surely regain consciousness soon, she was still
concerned about whether to tell everyone else. Gohan said it would be better to
keep it from them for now, because they were all still grieving. He was certain
Pan would wake up soon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Z sat by Pan after Vegeta left to find food. She was lying limply in a bed in the
infirmary. He was worried about her condition; he had a feeling she had passed
out because she was stressed or anxious, because of him. 'Maybe it would be
best if I left now, while she's still unconscious. It would probably relieve her of
the obvious stress she is under, she would be better off without me here
confusing her' Z thought sadly but realising it was the best thing for her. He stood
up with his capsules in his pocket and a small bag with a few of his things in it
swung over his shoulder. He placed a small velvet box on the bed next to her
pillow and placed a note beside it. The thought of never seeing her again brought
tears to his eyes but he fought them back and left the infirmary.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AN: Will Z really leave? Will Pan wake up in time to stop him? Will Trunks ever
get to kick Z's ass? Will Marron come back to life and decide to torment Goten?
(Just kidding) will Katie get over her sisters death? Will Pan ever wake up? Am I
going to be evil and not update until AFTER Christmas? Will I ever actually finish
this fic? Will Pan and Trunks ever get together? Will Pan decide she loves Z and
go back with him? Will Bra go with her? Will an unexpected asteroid hitting earth
kill Trunks? Are any of you still reading this boooooooring fic? Will there be a
lemon in this fic? And if so should I get Meg to write it for me because she
ROCKS?!!
~MeL~
Oh and YES Aussie chicks ROCK! Thanks Tinkerbellstar, appreciate the review.
Oh and one more thing… thanks to ladybugg, LOVED the review! I'm glad I made
your day! And a question, should Z just leave that easily or fight Trunks instead?
everyone that's been reading this! And thanks for the reviews! Oh and I hope
