Pan Son's Diary 6
Author's Notes: I'm back. I've been so busy this past month, and I do apologize for the delay. I went on a weeklong road trip a few weeks ago. Then I had some pressing matters to attend that called for my attention. It was kind of spur of the moment, and that's why I didn't inform you guys that I wouldn't be updating. Well fear not because I'm back. Well enough about me. Let's get this story on a roll.
Disclaimer: I can continue saying this until my teeth fall out, and they will eventually fall out when I'm old and gray. However this bears repeating. NOOOOOOOO I DON'T OWN ANYTHING HERE!! NOW STOP BUGGING ME!!!!
Pan was working diligently filing away the paperwork that Adam had assigned her. Her mind was filled with the images of her and Adam. She still couldn't believe that they were about to kiss. She had never been so bold with a guy before, but there was something about Adam that brought out the wild woman in her. She liked how he was able to make her knee's go weak, with just one simple touch. She liked how his lips appeared to be soft, that she was virtually dying to finally kiss him.
She didn't understand how one man could make her so crazy. It's true that she loved Piccolo, but her feelings for the green skinned warrior wasn't nearly as strong as this. She wondered if Adam could be the one that she would spend the rest of her life with. She really liked him, and she decided that she was going to do everything possible to make sure that this relationship last. Even though they weren't officially together, Pan knew that it would be only a matter of time before they were.
She was so absorbed with her thoughts, that she didn't even hear the office door open. She wasn't aware of the masculine body that stood right behind her. It wasn't until she caught a whiff of some expensive cologne, that she noticed the presence. She was so nervous that she hadn't even thought to do a kai search, to see who this person was. A smirk casually crossed her face, while she kept her back turned towards the mysterious stranger. In her head she could see Adam looking her up and down. She imagined him licking his lips in appreciation, as his eyes roamed her entire body. He was being so quiet, that one could easily forget that he was even in the room. Still she wanted to play this little game with him, and so she continued to ignore him.
She resumed her filing as five minutes past. She wondered if Adam was ever going to talk to her. Did she look that good today? She was enamored that Adam would just stand there staring at her for over five minutes.
As her thoughts randomly jumped from one thought to the next, she suddenly became aware that "Adam" moved even closer to her. He was so close that she could feel him virtually breathing down her neck. He was so close that she could smell his aftershave, and his mouthwash. The scent was so familiar to Pan, but all that she could think of was his intoxicating scent that was somehow overwhelming her.
She closed her eyes, and enjoyed the way his body slowly pressed up against hers. She suddenly jumped in surprise when she felt his heavy hand grab her shoulder. She secretly loved the way his hands felt on her shoulders. With her eyes still closed, she quickly turned around. She instinctively knew where his lips were, and she pressed her lips hard against his.
For a brief moment, she was in paradise. For a brief instant, she was in heaven. However there was something wrong. Adam wasn't responding to the kiss. It took her a moment to realize that he was trying to push her away from him. She opened her eyes, to be greeted with something that she wasn't expecting. Instead of beautiful hazel-green eyes, she saw an ocean of blue instead. Her lips were still pressed against the man that she now realized was Trunks. She was stunned. She couldn't move, much less tear her lips away from his.
Trunks on the other hand, as trying everything that he could to get away from the girl. When he realized that Pan wasn't going to budge, he powered up slightly. Then he pushed the girl away from him roughly, which sent her falling on to the ground. He quickly wiped his lips with the back of his hand, and stared at the girl with a look of disgust written all over his face.
Pan stared at him, and could tell that he was mad. Any fool could see that he was extremely pissed off, and that was never a good sign coming from Trunks Briefs. Her body shook in fear, as she waited for his verbal assaults to come flying from his mouth.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Ugh!! Now I'm going to have to wash my mouth out with soap. What the hell were you thinking?
"I thought...I thought that you were..."
"You thought that I was what...desperate?" He said as he wiped his lips off again.
"Look I'm sorry. I thought that you were somebody else all right."
"Well you thought wrong."
Pan shot a dirty look at Trunks, before she stood back up.
"Well if you hadn't been all up on me, then I wouldn't have made that mistake in the first place. I didn't exactly enjoy it myself either buster."
"And you think I did? I basically had to turn into a Super Saiyan, just to get you off of me."
"Don't flatter yourself Trunks. I wouldn't have kissed you if you hadn't been prowling around like a lunatic?"
"I was doing my job, unlike certain individuals."
"What? Oh I guess that stalking unsuspecting women is what you call doing your job."
"In case you forgot, my job also entails firing insubordinate employee's. Now if I were you I would get back to work, before I decide to fire your butt right here and now."
"I was working, before you decided to come in here harassing me. I could sue you for that you know. It's called harassment. You can't just come in here saying that I wasn't doing my job, when you know good and well that I was."
"You were not doing your job Pan."
"Yes I was!" Pan shouted.
"Your job duties are that you work for Adam from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. After that you are supposed to work for me from 10:05 to 6:00 PM. Am I correct?" He said in a smart aleck tone of voice.
"Yeah. So what's your point?"
"My point is that you need start looking at a clock every once in a while, or I will fire your tired butt without even thinking twice."
Pan looked at her watch that was on her arm.
"Well my watch says that it's only 9:55. I don't see what the problem is."
"Well you better learn how to set that thing to the right time, because the clock on the wall says that it's now 10:15. Which means that you have just wasted 15 minutes of my time, along with this company's time. That also means that you're going to make up that time after work. So let's go Miss Son. Time is money and money is time. To which I have just wasted both dealing with you."
"Well I was on time this morning. Adam even complimented me on being on time, and I was going by my watch. Maybe that clock up there isn't right."
Trunks glanced at his wristwatch briefly, before he put his arm back down.
"My watch has the same time as the clock on the wall. Adam would tell you anything just to get in your pants."
Pan quickly raised her hand, and slapped him roughly across the face.
Trunks head snapped to the side, and he quickly raised his hand in the air prepared to strike her back. Fortunately he was interrupted when Adam's door opened up. Adam walked into the room, and immediately noticed the thick tension that was in the air.
"Hey guys. What's going on?"
"I'm just here to inform Miss Son that she's late for her secretarial duties, and to remind her that she was supposed to be at her desk twenty minutes ago." He said with narrowed eyes.
"Well. I guess that you can finish the rest of these files tomorrow then. I'll see you later Pan." Adam said, as he looked the young woman over.
"All right. Bye Adam."
Both Pan and Trunks walked out of the room, and headed towards his office. Once they got to his office, Pan looked around the narrow hallway looking for her desk. Just as soon as she was about to question Trunks, he unlocked the door and walked inside. Pan didn't know what to do, and so she stood outside his door awaiting further instruction.
"What in the hell are you doing?" Trunks shouted from his office.
"You didn't tell me where my desk was."
"It's in here you idiot. Stop wasting my time, and get back to work!"
Pan stepped into his office, and was amazed at how huge it was. She glanced around the room, and wondered where Trunks was. She suddenly became aware of the tall figure behind her, and so she turned around to see who it was. However, the moment she turned around she suddenly felt a heavy hand hitting her across the face. The force of the slap caused her to fall to the ground. She looked up and noticed that Trunks was positively seething with anger.
"I will kill you if you ever hit me again. Got that? Now get back to work."
Pan stood back up, and she immediately cradled her cheek that was throbbing with pain. She walked over to her desk with shaking legs, and she tried her best to keep the tears from falling. She walked over to the first desk that she saw, and sat down in the seat. She just wanted to get her heart to calm down, and so she settled back into the chair. She was just about to go through the mounds of paperwork on the desk, when Trunks loud voice shouted out from across the room.
"NOT THAT SEAT!! Your desk is over there. It's amazing how much incompetence I have to deal with on a regular basis." He said as he pointed towards a deteriorating old desk.
The desk was so old and moldy looking, that Pan didn't even want to sit down. There was chipped wood, and Pan realized that if she wasn't careful then there was the possibility that she could get a splinter caught in her hands. At this point she was ready to just give up, and give in. So she sat down in the chair, and began going through the paperwork on her desk. While she began her duties of alphabetizing a folder of contracts, hot tears fell from her face. She was aware that Trunks was still glaring at her, and there was a possibility that he could even see her tears fall. She knew that he was enjoying every minute of seeing her suffer, but at this moment she didn't even care. So she silently cried.
Vegeta was staring down at the beautiful scenery below him. He stood in awe at the beautiful lake that he was above. He had been standing on top of a rugged mountaintop, which was overlooking the wide lake. He had been staying inside a small cave that was behind the waterfall, ever since Bulma kicked him out.
He had never experienced as much pain as when his wife told him to leave. He should've known that she would always pick her son over him. If she had only allowed him to explain that he was trying to teach Trunks a little lesson on life. Of course he would readily admit that he went a little overboard, but the fact of the matter is that he still loved his son. If he didn't love Trunks, then he would've just left him there to die. Not to mention the fact that he had known that he would have to listen to his mates mouth. So he took Trunks home, hoping that he could explain what happened. His mind recalled the exact memories of what happened that night, when he brought Pan and Trunks back to this house.
**Flashback**
Vegeta was battling an inner conflict when he watched Pan plummet to the ground, and she was unable to stop herself. He had wanted to stop the fight right then and there, but his Saiyan side forced him to stay right where he was. He was expecting Pan to get up. He had always known that she was pretty strong. Even though she was only 1/4th Saiyan, she still proved that she could become a Saiyan warrior just like anyone else. He decided that he was going to train her as an apprentice, until she learned how to control her Saiyan powers.
However the fight wasn't going the way he that he'd imagined. First he didn't think that Pan was going to get beaten so badly, but there she was lying on the ground. She was trying her hardest to stand back up, and Vegeta was silently rooting for the young girl. Then there was his son. He didn't think that Trunks was going to be fighting like this. To him it seemed as if Trunks was wasting away in his office. He thought for certain that Trunks was going to be soft when it cane to fighting Pan.
However he was surprised to find that Trunks was holding his own pretty good. Vegeta was just about to walk over to the injured girl, when he suddenly felt Trunks kai increase. One look at the young boy could tell any fool that he was in rage. His heart literally fell to his stomach when he realized that Trunks had released a fairly large kai blast at the wounded girl. He had even tried firing his own kai blast towards Trunks blast in order to divert it away from her. However, Trunks blast was too powerful to be moved. So Vegeta watched on in horror as the blast struck the poor unsuspecting girl in the back.
Vegeta watched as Trunks lowered himself right next to the girl, and then he powered up once more. He aimed his hands towards Pan's head, aiming to kill her instead. Just as soon as he was about to release his blast, Vegeta finally regained his senses. He was able to stop Trunks from killing the girl, by ramming into him. The two rolled around on the ground for a while, before they both stood up.
In that instant both men charged at each other, and began an overwhelming attack on each other. Vegeta gazed into his son red orbs, knowing that Trunks wouldn't stop fighting until either one of them was dead. Vegeta quickly powered up to Super Saiyan 4, and continued his assault on his own son. He had never been so proud yet so angry at the same time before. He was proud because it appeared that his son was about to best him in their little fight. There had never been a time that he could honestly say that Trunks was almost his equal. However that day, he was. Then on the other hand, he had been disappointed. Trunks had nearly killed Pan, and he was doing a pretty good job of trying to kill Vegeta,
Vegeta punched Trunks, and Trunks kicked Vegeta. The battle was getting nastier and bloodier by the minute. However, Vegeta was surprised when Trunks used a kai blast attack. The blast hit it's intended mark, and Vegeta fell to the ground. His impact with the ground was so tremendous that his body made a large crater in the cemented ground. He could instantly feel his backbones being broken to bits. He didn't want Trunks coming to him while he was in such bad shape, and so he stood up as quickly as he could. He ignored the hot stinging pain that engulfed his entire body, and he crawled out of the crater. He wasn't too surprised to see his son standing there waiting for him. Before Vegeta could even blink twice, Trunks charged at his father once again. He was already gathering a kai blast in his hand as he ran towards Vegeta. At that time Vegeta did the only thing that he could, knowing that he was going to regret his decision later.
"Galik Gun...attack"
His powers spiraled out of control until it hit its intended mark. Trunks body flew backwards because of the force of attack. Trunks hollered out in pain, as he released his kai blast towards both Pan and Vegeta. Upon seeing the blast aimed at him and the girl, Vegeta threw his body on top of hers. He tried to protect her the best way that he could, and he watched the blast coming towards him. As soon as it was close enough, he powered up his own kai blast as well. He shot his blast towards the loose blast, and was able to bat it away into some nearby mountains.
As soon as the dust was cleared, Vegeta got off of the young girl. He walked over to his son, and placed two shaking fingers against his neck. He checked to see if Trunks had a pulse or not, and was relieved to find that his son was still alive. He quickly picked up his son, and threw him over his shoulder. Then he walked over to Pan, and grabbed her by the waist. He held onto both of the Demi-Saiyans as tightly as he could, and flew into the air.
As soon as he got to C.C., he placed the two young Saiyans on the couch. First he threw down Trunks on his back, and then he laid Pan down right on top of him. You could almost say that the two looked like lovers, if it wasn't for the fact that they were trying to kill each other only moments ago.
Vegeta's heart was beating so fast. He had thought that he was about to have a heart attack. He needed to get these guys into some tanks before it was too late, and the only one who knew how to work them was Bulma. So he set out to find her as quickly as he could.
"Woman!! Where are you?? Dumb Onna is never around when you need her, but blow up one gravity chamber and she's on you like white on rice." He complained.
"I heard that you overgrown monkey." Bulma said as she came out of her lab.
"Get the tanks ready. Trunks and Pan is hurt...badly. Move it woman!" Vegeta shouted.
Bulma quickly moved to her med lab, and began preparing the tanks. Once the tanks were ready she walked over to Trunks, and began removing his blood stained clothes. She looked over at the boy's intensive injuries, and had to swallow the bile that was rising from the pits of her stomach. When Vegeta stated that they were hurt, she was expecting a few cuts, scratches, and broken bones.
However she wasn't expecting to see a large gaping hole in her son's back that clearly went straight through his chest. She could even see his rib bones from his back, and so she hurriedly placed him in the tank with the help of her husband. Then she moved to Pan, and noticed that she was in a similar state. Of course Pan injuries weren't as bad as Trunks. Bulma noticed that there was third degree burns covering her entire back, as she removed the young girl clothes.
Out of modesty Vegeta turned around, and waited until his mate placed the young girl in the tank. Once Pan was in the tank, Bulma walked back over to her controls. She typed in a few more commands into the computer, until she was done. She walked over to her husband, and looked him squarely into his eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest, and began tapping her foot, which was a telltale sign that she was agitated.
"You have five seconds to tell me why my son HAD A FRICKIN HOLE IN HIS BODY, AND DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME THAT PAN WAS THE CAUSE OF IT EITHER!"
"Woman, don't you dare raise your voice to me."
"One."
"I'm the Prince of all Saiyans and I deserve more respect than that!"
"Two."
"Look, the brat was in a rage."
"Three."
"There's no stopping a Saiyan, once he gets like that."
"Four. So I guess your saying that you're the one that did this to him. Am I correct Vegeta?"
"Woman will you shut up for a moment and let me talk."
Bulma narrowed her eyes as she stared at Vegeta
"Four and a half. NOW TELL ME WHAT ATTACK DID YOU USE ON MY CHILD, AND YOU BETTER NOT TELL ME YOU USED A KAI BLAST EITHER. I KNOW WHAT A KAI BLAST WOUND LOOKS LIKE, AND THAT ISN'T ONE! NOW WHAT DID YOU USE ON HIM?"
"Woman!"
"LET ME REMIND YOU THAT I WAS ON FOUR AND A HALF. NOW TELL ME DAMN IT!"
"I used the Galik Gun attack OK. Is that what you wanted to hear?"
"Five." Bulma whispered quietly as tears fell down her face.
After a brief moment of silence, Bulma surprised Vegeta by attacking him. Her tiny hands punched his chest, but Vegeta didn't make a move. To say her hits didn't hurt would be a lie. Sure the actual hits didn't hurt at all, but it was the fact that his heart felt as if it was about the burst. He hated seeing Bulma cry, and this display was literally tearing him apart.
Soon Bulma stopped hitting him, and Vegeta pulled her close into a hug. Bulma pushed away from him, and swatted his hands away from her whenever he tried to get to close to her again.
"GET OUT!"
"Look here Onna..."
"I SAID GET OUT!"
"Fine. I'll be in the Gravity Room."
"NO! I SAID TO LEAVE. I WANT YOU OFF OF MY PROPERTY. YOU ARE NO LONGER WELOMED HERE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN GOT IT!"
"You can't just kick me out of my own home. Are you crazy woman?"
"YOUR HOME? YOU DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING IN THIS HOUSE. I PAID FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN THE CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK. YOUR REIGN OF TERROR IN THIS HOUSE IS OVER, AND SO IS THIS MARRIAGE. I WANT YOU GONE, AND DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK."
Vegeta walked out of the lab, and headed towards his room to get some of his clothes, when Bulma stopped him.
"NUH UH BUSTER. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?"
"I'm going to get my clothes. Is that a problem?"
"IT IS CONSIDERING THAT I'M THE ONE WHO PAID FOR IT. NO. THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU IS EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAME HERE WITH. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE ONLY THING THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT HERE WAS YOUR SAIYAN PRIDE. SO LEAVE. TAKE YOUR PRIDE AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
Vegeta gave his wife an evil look before he walked out the door, but not before saying one thing that brought Bulma to more tears.
"I should've killed the lot of you from the get go. Weak humans."
**End flashback**
That was the last time that he had spoken to Bulma. Did he regret anything? You bet he did. Did he want to hurt Trunks? The answer is no, but at the time he really didn't have a choice. He had to admit that his life as of late was very lonely. He missed his family, but he missed his mate and wife most of all. He regretted ever telling that lie to her. He would have rather killed himself before he would ever hurt her. That went for both of his kids as well. If he didn't care about Trunks, why would he rush him to the regeneration tanks?
Life as he knew it was over. As long as his family wasn't by his side, his life would continue to be over. However, there was a small part of him that wanted someone to pay for his sufferings. Maybe it was these weak humans that made him go soft. He didn't know why he tolerated their crap from the beginning anyway. Maybe it was time to show them exactly what a true full breed Saiyan is capable of doing.
Pan was sitting at her desk, waiting for the day to end. She was surprised when the door opened, and Bra walked in. Bra stepped into the huge office, and looked around the room as if she was looking for something.
"So where do you want to go for lunch?"
Pan immediately thought that Bra was talking to her, because she was the only one in the office. Trunks and Christy had left earlier, for what she believed was a mid day tryst.
"Well we can go to Olive Garden. I'm in the mood for some pasta." Pan said out loud.
Bra narrowed her eyes at Pan, and a look of confusion crossed Pan's face.
"Let's get one thing straight girl. I wasn't talking to you."
A sound of laughter was heard, as Marron walked into the office.
*Since when does Bra hang out with her?
"As a matter of fact I wouldn't eat lunch with you if it was the last thing that I had to do. It's bad enough that I have to breathe the same air as you. You know what...scratch that. Don't even talk to me, or look at me. Our friendship is over. Now MARRON...where do YOU want to go for lunch?"
"You know Olive Garden really does sound good."
"Yeah you're right. Olive Garden does sounds nice. Let's get out of here. It smells bad in here, and I'm about to lose my appetite."
As soon as the girls left, Pan felt two lone tears roll down her face. She continued crying until she heard a quiet knock on the door. She tried her best to wipe her tears away, and when she felt that all her tears were dry she called out.
"Come in."
Adam stepped into the room, and walked over towards Pan's desk.
"I just wanted to see if you wanted to go to lunch with me. I was going to head to Olive Garden for lunch."
At the sound of Olive Garden, Pan burst out in tears. Her body bobbed up and down, as she sobbed heavily into her hands. Adam was by her side in an instance. He grabbed her hands and pulled her up to his feet. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she laid her head down on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"Bra...and...Olive...hate...I tried...I hate my life."
"All right. Let's try that again, only slower this time." He said as he pulled away from her slightly. His arms remained around his waist, and he stared into her eyes. He waited a while before she was able to settle down.
*She looks so cute when she's a nervous wreck.
"Now what's wrong?"
"Everybody hates me. Trunks hates me. Bra hates me. Marron. Everybody."
"I don't hate you."
"Well you're the only one. I can't even begin to tell you all about everything that's gone wrong in my life."
"But you will tell me right? You know that I'm here for you whenever you need me right?
"Yeah I know."
"Look let's get out of here and go get something to eat. We can talk about it there."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being there for me. You're the only one that seems to care."
"How can I not? I really like you."
"I really like you too Adam."
The two stared into each other's eyes, and their heads slowly moved closer to each other. Soon they could feel each other's breathe caressing their lips, and Pan paused out of fear. That fear was soon squashed when she felt Adam's hand grab the back of her neck. He quickly pulled her to his waiting lips. Pan revealed in how soft his lips were, and she suddenly froze when she realized that he was kissing her.
He slowly ran his tongue over her lower lip, begging for entrance. When he was able to coax her into opening her mouth, he carefully placed his tongue in her mouth. He sucked and nibbled at her tongue, until she started returning the kiss with as much passion she could muster. Their tongues did a battle of dominance, until Adam's emotions started getting the best of him.
He lowered her down on top of the desk, and they were fortunate enough to be lying on top of the paperwork. His hands softly caressed her hips, and then he ran his hands inside her blouse. He continued to kiss her, and Pan was doing everything that she could to pull him closer. She loved the feeling of his strong body pressed against hers, and she couldn't seem to get enough.
Adam moved his lips from her mouth, and then he leaned into the crook of her neck. He inhaled her exotic scent, and then he placed a tender kiss on her neck. Pan was really getting into the feelings, when she helped Adam out of his blazer. As soon as his blazer was removed, Pan worked his shirt over his head. She was able to get a glance at his washboard stomach, to which she ran her fingers all over.
Adam closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of her lithe hands all over his body. Then he leaned back down, and continued to ravish her mouth. His hands set in motion to unbutton her blouse, and he would cop a feel with each button he unfastened. Soon her blouse was open and was hanging off her shoulders. The only thing that was keeping her shirt from falling to the ground was the bending of both of her arms.
Adam brought his lips to her collarbone, and was determined to mark her as his by placing a hickey on her neck. Pan on the other hand, wrapped her arms around his waist. She brought her hands down to his rear, and was surprised to feel him doing the same. He smiled when she yelped in surprised, and then he wickedly smiled at her. He bit down on her lower lip. He pulled on her lower lip with his teeth, and then kissed her once again.
However before they could get any get any further, and yes they both wanted to take things further, the door was suddenly opened. Both Bulma and Trunks walked into the room. Adam scrambled off of Pan, and retrieved his clothes from the floor. Pan hastily put her blouse back on. She fumbled with her buttons until she was fully dressed.
She raised her eyes towards the Briefs, while Adam still struggled to get dressed. She noticed almost that Bulma had a look of absolute shock on her face, and Trunks was mad with anger. He looked at Pan as if she had grown another head, before he turned his attention to Adam.
"You know I expected this from Pan, but from you I expected better. You know things wouldn't be so bad if you weren't doing this IN MY OFFICE!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? I'TS LIKE EVERYBODY HAS COMPLETELY LOST THEIR MIND! YOU KNOW WHAT...YOU'RE FIRED!! CLEAN OFF YOUR DESK, AND GET OUT. YOU'VE HAD IT HERE AT CAPSULE CORPORATION!"
"Whoa hold it chief. I hired him, and only I had can fire him. Adam, can I see in you in my office? Trunks can you handle Pan for me, and no you can't fire her either." Bulma said as she escorted Adam out of the room.
Once they were gone, Trunks could do nothing but stare at her. She grew nervous under his intense stare, and lowered her eyes to her feet.
"Trunks...I'm sorry."
"I really don't want to hear your excuses. Get out of my face. Go eat lunch, sell your body, and just get out of my face. I'm sick of seeing you."
He turned around and walked over to his desk. He hesitated at his desk, and turned back around to look at Pan.
"Did you use my desk? I want to know if I have to order a new desk before I sit down."
"Screw you Trunks."
"No thanks. I'll let Adam handle that. Seemed like he was doing a good job of that already. Get out. Oh and Pan. I expect to see you back in this office on time after your lunch break. You have a lot of time to make up, and I'm guessing that you'll be working well off into the night. You're dismissed."
Pan walked out of Trunks office feeling lower than low, and she was hurt that it was her former friend that made her feel that way. Once again tears marred her face, as she walked out of the room.
Hercule Satan was worried. He was worried about his only daughter, who had locked herself in her bedroom. Ever since she came home, she had been avoiding him and that's what made him worry. He was surprised to find out that she had an affair on Gohan. It also served as a painful reminder of what had happened to him. Videl's mother had also cheated on him, before she died from cancer.
He knew that his daughter was hurting, and there wasn't anything that he could do for her. The only thing that he could think of that could help, was trying to talk to her. He walked up to her bedroom, and knocked on the door. After several failed attempts of trying to get her to answer the door, he placed his head on the door. He could hear her pacing back and forth, and his fears somewhat dispersed. She was fine.
"Videl...sweetie can you open the door?"
"Go away."
"I'm not going to leave this spot until you tell me what's wrong!"
"I already told you everything that I could. Now, could you please leave me alone?" She shouted.
"Why do you keep shutting me out Videl? You're just like your mother."
Videl felt her heart lurch into her stomach. She couldn't believe that her father would say something as cruel and reckless as that.
"Yeah dad. I guess that I am exactly like my mother. Like mother, like daughter huh? I guess I can look forward to Pan turning out to be just like me. Thanks a lot dad. It's nice to know how you really feel about me."
"Videl, you know that's not what I meant. I just don't want you shutting me out of your life like your mother did. Can you please open up the door sweet pea?"
"I just need to be alone. Why can't you understand that?"
"I'm your father. I don't get paid to understand things, but I will always try to understand anything that you're going through. You just need to open up and talk to me, and preferably not through this door."
With a moment of hesitation, Videl walked over to the door. She opened it, and was surprised when her father threw his big arms around her waist.
"I love you sweet pea. Do you know that?"
"Yes. I know daddy."
"You want to talk about it?" Hercule said as he let go of his daughter.
He walked over to her bed and then he sat down. Videl walked over to where he was seated, and she stood in front of him. She placed her hands in his hair, and began playing with his tight black curls.
"Daddy, I thought I told you to cut your hair."
"You know me. I like my fro. Don't you think it brings out my eyes? The ladies love my hair."
"Well their blind. Get a haircut dad, or I'll cut it off for you."
"Let's make a deal. I'll let you cut my hair, if you tell me why you have decided to lock yourself up in this room."
"Daddy what's wrong with me? I mean I had a very good thing, but why did I have to go and screw things up? I don't think that Gohan is ever going to forgive me now."
"He will darling. Trust me I know what he's going through, and you know that. Just give Gohan a little time and space, and I promise you that he'll come back."
"There you go making promises that you can't keep daddy. How can you sit here and tell me that he'll come back. You weren't there dad. You didn't see the way he looked at me. You weren't there to witness the slap that he gave me."
"He hit you?" He said becoming angry.
"That's not the point daddy."
"Oh that's exactly the point. Nobody, and I mean nobody hits my baby girl and gets away with it." He said as he stood up from the bed.
Hercule made his way to the bedroom door, and as he turned to walk out the door Videl stopped him.
"Daddy, please don't do it. He's stronger than you. Please don't go over there trying to start a fight. Promise me."
"Ok. I promise that I won't start a fight. I'll just go over there and talk to him. Hopefully I will be able to convince him to come back home, but for the record he will not be forgiven for hitting you. We will discuss that as well, but for now I'll try to get him to come back."
"Daddy, don't waste your time. It's over, and there's nothing that you or I can do about it. So just forget about it. Ok. If you really want to make me feel better, you can go to the store, and go get me some Rocky Road ice cream."
"Will that really make you feel better?"
"Not really, but two pints would. That way I can have a pint, and you can have the other. It'll be just like old times, with just you and me talking."
"I'd really like that sweet pea."
"So would I daddy, but I would like it more if you would hurry up and go get that ice cream."
Hercule grabbed the girl in another tight embrace, and held her close.
"I love you. You know that don't you?"
"Yeah I know. I love you back daddy. You mean the world to me."
Herule pulled back from the hug and smiled at Videl.
"I guess that'll be one rocky road, and one chocolate vanilla swirl coming up?"
Hercule turned and walked out of his daughter's room. He was smiling from ear to ear as he walked out towards his car. He felt that his daughter was going to be fine, just as long as he stayed by her side through all of this mess. He got in his car, and started the engine. Then he suddenly remembered that he had forgot his wallet on the table. He walked back to the house humming a small melody that he used to sing to Videl when she was a baby. He was surprised to see that he still remembered the song. As soon as he opened the front door, a loud sound made him stop dead in his tracks. The sound made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, and made his heart stop beating it's regular beat. For the sound that he heard was the sound of a gun going off.
For a moment he stood there, before his mind urged him to go check on his daughter. So he hurriedly ran up the stairs, and towards his daughter's bedroom.
"Videl?"
When he stepped into his bedroom, all he could see was his daughter's bloody body lying on the ground. She had a gunshot wound to her head, and Hercule virtually lost it. He started pacing back and forth. He walked over to her, and pulled the gun from her hand. He placed the loaded gun to his temple.
"I have nothing to live for now. I'm so sorry that I failed you sweet pea. I love you"
He quickly pulled the trigger, and his body fell right next to Videl's. If he had only waited for a few more minutes, then he would've seen Videl's body suddenly start to shake, but it was too late for that for Hercule Satan was dead.
Pan was sitting at her desk when she suddenly felt a drop in her mother's kai. She immediately sat up, and then she jumped out of her chair. Tears spilled down her cheeks, and she walked over to the window. With a sense of urgency, she threw open the windows. She flew off towards the direction of her mother.
Gohan was watching a football game when he felt Videl's kai lower down to almost nothing. At first he was so distraught that he had entertained the thought of rushing over there, to see if she was all right. However the jealousy that was in his heart was enough to make him not even want to go.
So he sat back down on the couch, and then he grabbed a bowl of popcorn. He began munching on the popcorn until he felt a warm wet sensation falling from his face. He was aware that he was crying, but he quickly wiped away any evidence of the fallen tears. He refused to cry over a woman who had cheated on him, and with his father no less. No she didn't deserve his tears, and she definitely didn't deserve his concern. So he pushed all thoughts about Videl, and the fact that she might be dying in the back of his head. He sat there oblivious to his own conflicting emotions, and he watched as the Houstonians made an extraordinary touchdown.
Trunks was in a very busy meeting, one that he couldn't get out of when he felt Videl's Kai drop. He also felt Pan own panicky kai rise, and for one brief moment he felt sorry for her. It's true that they weren't the best of friends, but he was worried about her mother's well being. He excused himself for an instance, and called his mom on the intercom phone.
"Bulma Briefs office."
"Mom get a ambulance towards Videl's house. I just felt Videl's kai fall, and I think that she might be hurt. I'm in a meeting right now, and I can only sense Pan's kai going towards her."
"All right I'll do that now."
Trunks hung up the phone, and resumed his meeting. Even though an emergency pulled Pan away from her job, Trunks made a note that she was going to make up all the time she lost. Just because her mom was hurt didn't mean that he was going to go easy on her. He aimed at making her life a living nightmare.
Wow that was the longest chapter ever I think. I hope that you guys enjoyed that. I'll give out my thanks and shout outs in the next chapter.
Speaking of which next chapter: Videl is put on life support, and Trunks forces Pan to get back to work. Also Gohan does something that will guarantee him a life in HFIL. Also Goku has been granted a 42-hour pass to leave limbo. I will also have a flashback sequence, describing what happened at Pan's and Adam's lunch break. What will happen next? Until then, Ladybugg signing out.
Author's Notes: I'm back. I've been so busy this past month, and I do apologize for the delay. I went on a weeklong road trip a few weeks ago. Then I had some pressing matters to attend that called for my attention. It was kind of spur of the moment, and that's why I didn't inform you guys that I wouldn't be updating. Well fear not because I'm back. Well enough about me. Let's get this story on a roll.
Disclaimer: I can continue saying this until my teeth fall out, and they will eventually fall out when I'm old and gray. However this bears repeating. NOOOOOOOO I DON'T OWN ANYTHING HERE!! NOW STOP BUGGING ME!!!!
Pan was working diligently filing away the paperwork that Adam had assigned her. Her mind was filled with the images of her and Adam. She still couldn't believe that they were about to kiss. She had never been so bold with a guy before, but there was something about Adam that brought out the wild woman in her. She liked how he was able to make her knee's go weak, with just one simple touch. She liked how his lips appeared to be soft, that she was virtually dying to finally kiss him.
She didn't understand how one man could make her so crazy. It's true that she loved Piccolo, but her feelings for the green skinned warrior wasn't nearly as strong as this. She wondered if Adam could be the one that she would spend the rest of her life with. She really liked him, and she decided that she was going to do everything possible to make sure that this relationship last. Even though they weren't officially together, Pan knew that it would be only a matter of time before they were.
She was so absorbed with her thoughts, that she didn't even hear the office door open. She wasn't aware of the masculine body that stood right behind her. It wasn't until she caught a whiff of some expensive cologne, that she noticed the presence. She was so nervous that she hadn't even thought to do a kai search, to see who this person was. A smirk casually crossed her face, while she kept her back turned towards the mysterious stranger. In her head she could see Adam looking her up and down. She imagined him licking his lips in appreciation, as his eyes roamed her entire body. He was being so quiet, that one could easily forget that he was even in the room. Still she wanted to play this little game with him, and so she continued to ignore him.
She resumed her filing as five minutes past. She wondered if Adam was ever going to talk to her. Did she look that good today? She was enamored that Adam would just stand there staring at her for over five minutes.
As her thoughts randomly jumped from one thought to the next, she suddenly became aware that "Adam" moved even closer to her. He was so close that she could feel him virtually breathing down her neck. He was so close that she could smell his aftershave, and his mouthwash. The scent was so familiar to Pan, but all that she could think of was his intoxicating scent that was somehow overwhelming her.
She closed her eyes, and enjoyed the way his body slowly pressed up against hers. She suddenly jumped in surprise when she felt his heavy hand grab her shoulder. She secretly loved the way his hands felt on her shoulders. With her eyes still closed, she quickly turned around. She instinctively knew where his lips were, and she pressed her lips hard against his.
For a brief moment, she was in paradise. For a brief instant, she was in heaven. However there was something wrong. Adam wasn't responding to the kiss. It took her a moment to realize that he was trying to push her away from him. She opened her eyes, to be greeted with something that she wasn't expecting. Instead of beautiful hazel-green eyes, she saw an ocean of blue instead. Her lips were still pressed against the man that she now realized was Trunks. She was stunned. She couldn't move, much less tear her lips away from his.
Trunks on the other hand, as trying everything that he could to get away from the girl. When he realized that Pan wasn't going to budge, he powered up slightly. Then he pushed the girl away from him roughly, which sent her falling on to the ground. He quickly wiped his lips with the back of his hand, and stared at the girl with a look of disgust written all over his face.
Pan stared at him, and could tell that he was mad. Any fool could see that he was extremely pissed off, and that was never a good sign coming from Trunks Briefs. Her body shook in fear, as she waited for his verbal assaults to come flying from his mouth.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Ugh!! Now I'm going to have to wash my mouth out with soap. What the hell were you thinking?
"I thought...I thought that you were..."
"You thought that I was what...desperate?" He said as he wiped his lips off again.
"Look I'm sorry. I thought that you were somebody else all right."
"Well you thought wrong."
Pan shot a dirty look at Trunks, before she stood back up.
"Well if you hadn't been all up on me, then I wouldn't have made that mistake in the first place. I didn't exactly enjoy it myself either buster."
"And you think I did? I basically had to turn into a Super Saiyan, just to get you off of me."
"Don't flatter yourself Trunks. I wouldn't have kissed you if you hadn't been prowling around like a lunatic?"
"I was doing my job, unlike certain individuals."
"What? Oh I guess that stalking unsuspecting women is what you call doing your job."
"In case you forgot, my job also entails firing insubordinate employee's. Now if I were you I would get back to work, before I decide to fire your butt right here and now."
"I was working, before you decided to come in here harassing me. I could sue you for that you know. It's called harassment. You can't just come in here saying that I wasn't doing my job, when you know good and well that I was."
"You were not doing your job Pan."
"Yes I was!" Pan shouted.
"Your job duties are that you work for Adam from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. After that you are supposed to work for me from 10:05 to 6:00 PM. Am I correct?" He said in a smart aleck tone of voice.
"Yeah. So what's your point?"
"My point is that you need start looking at a clock every once in a while, or I will fire your tired butt without even thinking twice."
Pan looked at her watch that was on her arm.
"Well my watch says that it's only 9:55. I don't see what the problem is."
"Well you better learn how to set that thing to the right time, because the clock on the wall says that it's now 10:15. Which means that you have just wasted 15 minutes of my time, along with this company's time. That also means that you're going to make up that time after work. So let's go Miss Son. Time is money and money is time. To which I have just wasted both dealing with you."
"Well I was on time this morning. Adam even complimented me on being on time, and I was going by my watch. Maybe that clock up there isn't right."
Trunks glanced at his wristwatch briefly, before he put his arm back down.
"My watch has the same time as the clock on the wall. Adam would tell you anything just to get in your pants."
Pan quickly raised her hand, and slapped him roughly across the face.
Trunks head snapped to the side, and he quickly raised his hand in the air prepared to strike her back. Fortunately he was interrupted when Adam's door opened up. Adam walked into the room, and immediately noticed the thick tension that was in the air.
"Hey guys. What's going on?"
"I'm just here to inform Miss Son that she's late for her secretarial duties, and to remind her that she was supposed to be at her desk twenty minutes ago." He said with narrowed eyes.
"Well. I guess that you can finish the rest of these files tomorrow then. I'll see you later Pan." Adam said, as he looked the young woman over.
"All right. Bye Adam."
Both Pan and Trunks walked out of the room, and headed towards his office. Once they got to his office, Pan looked around the narrow hallway looking for her desk. Just as soon as she was about to question Trunks, he unlocked the door and walked inside. Pan didn't know what to do, and so she stood outside his door awaiting further instruction.
"What in the hell are you doing?" Trunks shouted from his office.
"You didn't tell me where my desk was."
"It's in here you idiot. Stop wasting my time, and get back to work!"
Pan stepped into his office, and was amazed at how huge it was. She glanced around the room, and wondered where Trunks was. She suddenly became aware of the tall figure behind her, and so she turned around to see who it was. However, the moment she turned around she suddenly felt a heavy hand hitting her across the face. The force of the slap caused her to fall to the ground. She looked up and noticed that Trunks was positively seething with anger.
"I will kill you if you ever hit me again. Got that? Now get back to work."
Pan stood back up, and she immediately cradled her cheek that was throbbing with pain. She walked over to her desk with shaking legs, and she tried her best to keep the tears from falling. She walked over to the first desk that she saw, and sat down in the seat. She just wanted to get her heart to calm down, and so she settled back into the chair. She was just about to go through the mounds of paperwork on the desk, when Trunks loud voice shouted out from across the room.
"NOT THAT SEAT!! Your desk is over there. It's amazing how much incompetence I have to deal with on a regular basis." He said as he pointed towards a deteriorating old desk.
The desk was so old and moldy looking, that Pan didn't even want to sit down. There was chipped wood, and Pan realized that if she wasn't careful then there was the possibility that she could get a splinter caught in her hands. At this point she was ready to just give up, and give in. So she sat down in the chair, and began going through the paperwork on her desk. While she began her duties of alphabetizing a folder of contracts, hot tears fell from her face. She was aware that Trunks was still glaring at her, and there was a possibility that he could even see her tears fall. She knew that he was enjoying every minute of seeing her suffer, but at this moment she didn't even care. So she silently cried.
Vegeta was staring down at the beautiful scenery below him. He stood in awe at the beautiful lake that he was above. He had been standing on top of a rugged mountaintop, which was overlooking the wide lake. He had been staying inside a small cave that was behind the waterfall, ever since Bulma kicked him out.
He had never experienced as much pain as when his wife told him to leave. He should've known that she would always pick her son over him. If she had only allowed him to explain that he was trying to teach Trunks a little lesson on life. Of course he would readily admit that he went a little overboard, but the fact of the matter is that he still loved his son. If he didn't love Trunks, then he would've just left him there to die. Not to mention the fact that he had known that he would have to listen to his mates mouth. So he took Trunks home, hoping that he could explain what happened. His mind recalled the exact memories of what happened that night, when he brought Pan and Trunks back to this house.
**Flashback**
Vegeta was battling an inner conflict when he watched Pan plummet to the ground, and she was unable to stop herself. He had wanted to stop the fight right then and there, but his Saiyan side forced him to stay right where he was. He was expecting Pan to get up. He had always known that she was pretty strong. Even though she was only 1/4th Saiyan, she still proved that she could become a Saiyan warrior just like anyone else. He decided that he was going to train her as an apprentice, until she learned how to control her Saiyan powers.
However the fight wasn't going the way he that he'd imagined. First he didn't think that Pan was going to get beaten so badly, but there she was lying on the ground. She was trying her hardest to stand back up, and Vegeta was silently rooting for the young girl. Then there was his son. He didn't think that Trunks was going to be fighting like this. To him it seemed as if Trunks was wasting away in his office. He thought for certain that Trunks was going to be soft when it cane to fighting Pan.
However he was surprised to find that Trunks was holding his own pretty good. Vegeta was just about to walk over to the injured girl, when he suddenly felt Trunks kai increase. One look at the young boy could tell any fool that he was in rage. His heart literally fell to his stomach when he realized that Trunks had released a fairly large kai blast at the wounded girl. He had even tried firing his own kai blast towards Trunks blast in order to divert it away from her. However, Trunks blast was too powerful to be moved. So Vegeta watched on in horror as the blast struck the poor unsuspecting girl in the back.
Vegeta watched as Trunks lowered himself right next to the girl, and then he powered up once more. He aimed his hands towards Pan's head, aiming to kill her instead. Just as soon as he was about to release his blast, Vegeta finally regained his senses. He was able to stop Trunks from killing the girl, by ramming into him. The two rolled around on the ground for a while, before they both stood up.
In that instant both men charged at each other, and began an overwhelming attack on each other. Vegeta gazed into his son red orbs, knowing that Trunks wouldn't stop fighting until either one of them was dead. Vegeta quickly powered up to Super Saiyan 4, and continued his assault on his own son. He had never been so proud yet so angry at the same time before. He was proud because it appeared that his son was about to best him in their little fight. There had never been a time that he could honestly say that Trunks was almost his equal. However that day, he was. Then on the other hand, he had been disappointed. Trunks had nearly killed Pan, and he was doing a pretty good job of trying to kill Vegeta,
Vegeta punched Trunks, and Trunks kicked Vegeta. The battle was getting nastier and bloodier by the minute. However, Vegeta was surprised when Trunks used a kai blast attack. The blast hit it's intended mark, and Vegeta fell to the ground. His impact with the ground was so tremendous that his body made a large crater in the cemented ground. He could instantly feel his backbones being broken to bits. He didn't want Trunks coming to him while he was in such bad shape, and so he stood up as quickly as he could. He ignored the hot stinging pain that engulfed his entire body, and he crawled out of the crater. He wasn't too surprised to see his son standing there waiting for him. Before Vegeta could even blink twice, Trunks charged at his father once again. He was already gathering a kai blast in his hand as he ran towards Vegeta. At that time Vegeta did the only thing that he could, knowing that he was going to regret his decision later.
"Galik Gun...attack"
His powers spiraled out of control until it hit its intended mark. Trunks body flew backwards because of the force of attack. Trunks hollered out in pain, as he released his kai blast towards both Pan and Vegeta. Upon seeing the blast aimed at him and the girl, Vegeta threw his body on top of hers. He tried to protect her the best way that he could, and he watched the blast coming towards him. As soon as it was close enough, he powered up his own kai blast as well. He shot his blast towards the loose blast, and was able to bat it away into some nearby mountains.
As soon as the dust was cleared, Vegeta got off of the young girl. He walked over to his son, and placed two shaking fingers against his neck. He checked to see if Trunks had a pulse or not, and was relieved to find that his son was still alive. He quickly picked up his son, and threw him over his shoulder. Then he walked over to Pan, and grabbed her by the waist. He held onto both of the Demi-Saiyans as tightly as he could, and flew into the air.
As soon as he got to C.C., he placed the two young Saiyans on the couch. First he threw down Trunks on his back, and then he laid Pan down right on top of him. You could almost say that the two looked like lovers, if it wasn't for the fact that they were trying to kill each other only moments ago.
Vegeta's heart was beating so fast. He had thought that he was about to have a heart attack. He needed to get these guys into some tanks before it was too late, and the only one who knew how to work them was Bulma. So he set out to find her as quickly as he could.
"Woman!! Where are you?? Dumb Onna is never around when you need her, but blow up one gravity chamber and she's on you like white on rice." He complained.
"I heard that you overgrown monkey." Bulma said as she came out of her lab.
"Get the tanks ready. Trunks and Pan is hurt...badly. Move it woman!" Vegeta shouted.
Bulma quickly moved to her med lab, and began preparing the tanks. Once the tanks were ready she walked over to Trunks, and began removing his blood stained clothes. She looked over at the boy's intensive injuries, and had to swallow the bile that was rising from the pits of her stomach. When Vegeta stated that they were hurt, she was expecting a few cuts, scratches, and broken bones.
However she wasn't expecting to see a large gaping hole in her son's back that clearly went straight through his chest. She could even see his rib bones from his back, and so she hurriedly placed him in the tank with the help of her husband. Then she moved to Pan, and noticed that she was in a similar state. Of course Pan injuries weren't as bad as Trunks. Bulma noticed that there was third degree burns covering her entire back, as she removed the young girl clothes.
Out of modesty Vegeta turned around, and waited until his mate placed the young girl in the tank. Once Pan was in the tank, Bulma walked back over to her controls. She typed in a few more commands into the computer, until she was done. She walked over to her husband, and looked him squarely into his eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest, and began tapping her foot, which was a telltale sign that she was agitated.
"You have five seconds to tell me why my son HAD A FRICKIN HOLE IN HIS BODY, AND DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME THAT PAN WAS THE CAUSE OF IT EITHER!"
"Woman, don't you dare raise your voice to me."
"One."
"I'm the Prince of all Saiyans and I deserve more respect than that!"
"Two."
"Look, the brat was in a rage."
"Three."
"There's no stopping a Saiyan, once he gets like that."
"Four. So I guess your saying that you're the one that did this to him. Am I correct Vegeta?"
"Woman will you shut up for a moment and let me talk."
Bulma narrowed her eyes as she stared at Vegeta
"Four and a half. NOW TELL ME WHAT ATTACK DID YOU USE ON MY CHILD, AND YOU BETTER NOT TELL ME YOU USED A KAI BLAST EITHER. I KNOW WHAT A KAI BLAST WOUND LOOKS LIKE, AND THAT ISN'T ONE! NOW WHAT DID YOU USE ON HIM?"
"Woman!"
"LET ME REMIND YOU THAT I WAS ON FOUR AND A HALF. NOW TELL ME DAMN IT!"
"I used the Galik Gun attack OK. Is that what you wanted to hear?"
"Five." Bulma whispered quietly as tears fell down her face.
After a brief moment of silence, Bulma surprised Vegeta by attacking him. Her tiny hands punched his chest, but Vegeta didn't make a move. To say her hits didn't hurt would be a lie. Sure the actual hits didn't hurt at all, but it was the fact that his heart felt as if it was about the burst. He hated seeing Bulma cry, and this display was literally tearing him apart.
Soon Bulma stopped hitting him, and Vegeta pulled her close into a hug. Bulma pushed away from him, and swatted his hands away from her whenever he tried to get to close to her again.
"GET OUT!"
"Look here Onna..."
"I SAID GET OUT!"
"Fine. I'll be in the Gravity Room."
"NO! I SAID TO LEAVE. I WANT YOU OFF OF MY PROPERTY. YOU ARE NO LONGER WELOMED HERE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN GOT IT!"
"You can't just kick me out of my own home. Are you crazy woman?"
"YOUR HOME? YOU DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING IN THIS HOUSE. I PAID FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN THE CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK. YOUR REIGN OF TERROR IN THIS HOUSE IS OVER, AND SO IS THIS MARRIAGE. I WANT YOU GONE, AND DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK."
Vegeta walked out of the lab, and headed towards his room to get some of his clothes, when Bulma stopped him.
"NUH UH BUSTER. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?"
"I'm going to get my clothes. Is that a problem?"
"IT IS CONSIDERING THAT I'M THE ONE WHO PAID FOR IT. NO. THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU IS EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAME HERE WITH. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE ONLY THING THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT HERE WAS YOUR SAIYAN PRIDE. SO LEAVE. TAKE YOUR PRIDE AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
Vegeta gave his wife an evil look before he walked out the door, but not before saying one thing that brought Bulma to more tears.
"I should've killed the lot of you from the get go. Weak humans."
**End flashback**
That was the last time that he had spoken to Bulma. Did he regret anything? You bet he did. Did he want to hurt Trunks? The answer is no, but at the time he really didn't have a choice. He had to admit that his life as of late was very lonely. He missed his family, but he missed his mate and wife most of all. He regretted ever telling that lie to her. He would have rather killed himself before he would ever hurt her. That went for both of his kids as well. If he didn't care about Trunks, why would he rush him to the regeneration tanks?
Life as he knew it was over. As long as his family wasn't by his side, his life would continue to be over. However, there was a small part of him that wanted someone to pay for his sufferings. Maybe it was these weak humans that made him go soft. He didn't know why he tolerated their crap from the beginning anyway. Maybe it was time to show them exactly what a true full breed Saiyan is capable of doing.
Pan was sitting at her desk, waiting for the day to end. She was surprised when the door opened, and Bra walked in. Bra stepped into the huge office, and looked around the room as if she was looking for something.
"So where do you want to go for lunch?"
Pan immediately thought that Bra was talking to her, because she was the only one in the office. Trunks and Christy had left earlier, for what she believed was a mid day tryst.
"Well we can go to Olive Garden. I'm in the mood for some pasta." Pan said out loud.
Bra narrowed her eyes at Pan, and a look of confusion crossed Pan's face.
"Let's get one thing straight girl. I wasn't talking to you."
A sound of laughter was heard, as Marron walked into the office.
*Since when does Bra hang out with her?
"As a matter of fact I wouldn't eat lunch with you if it was the last thing that I had to do. It's bad enough that I have to breathe the same air as you. You know what...scratch that. Don't even talk to me, or look at me. Our friendship is over. Now MARRON...where do YOU want to go for lunch?"
"You know Olive Garden really does sound good."
"Yeah you're right. Olive Garden does sounds nice. Let's get out of here. It smells bad in here, and I'm about to lose my appetite."
As soon as the girls left, Pan felt two lone tears roll down her face. She continued crying until she heard a quiet knock on the door. She tried her best to wipe her tears away, and when she felt that all her tears were dry she called out.
"Come in."
Adam stepped into the room, and walked over towards Pan's desk.
"I just wanted to see if you wanted to go to lunch with me. I was going to head to Olive Garden for lunch."
At the sound of Olive Garden, Pan burst out in tears. Her body bobbed up and down, as she sobbed heavily into her hands. Adam was by her side in an instance. He grabbed her hands and pulled her up to his feet. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she laid her head down on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"Bra...and...Olive...hate...I tried...I hate my life."
"All right. Let's try that again, only slower this time." He said as he pulled away from her slightly. His arms remained around his waist, and he stared into her eyes. He waited a while before she was able to settle down.
*She looks so cute when she's a nervous wreck.
"Now what's wrong?"
"Everybody hates me. Trunks hates me. Bra hates me. Marron. Everybody."
"I don't hate you."
"Well you're the only one. I can't even begin to tell you all about everything that's gone wrong in my life."
"But you will tell me right? You know that I'm here for you whenever you need me right?
"Yeah I know."
"Look let's get out of here and go get something to eat. We can talk about it there."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being there for me. You're the only one that seems to care."
"How can I not? I really like you."
"I really like you too Adam."
The two stared into each other's eyes, and their heads slowly moved closer to each other. Soon they could feel each other's breathe caressing their lips, and Pan paused out of fear. That fear was soon squashed when she felt Adam's hand grab the back of her neck. He quickly pulled her to his waiting lips. Pan revealed in how soft his lips were, and she suddenly froze when she realized that he was kissing her.
He slowly ran his tongue over her lower lip, begging for entrance. When he was able to coax her into opening her mouth, he carefully placed his tongue in her mouth. He sucked and nibbled at her tongue, until she started returning the kiss with as much passion she could muster. Their tongues did a battle of dominance, until Adam's emotions started getting the best of him.
He lowered her down on top of the desk, and they were fortunate enough to be lying on top of the paperwork. His hands softly caressed her hips, and then he ran his hands inside her blouse. He continued to kiss her, and Pan was doing everything that she could to pull him closer. She loved the feeling of his strong body pressed against hers, and she couldn't seem to get enough.
Adam moved his lips from her mouth, and then he leaned into the crook of her neck. He inhaled her exotic scent, and then he placed a tender kiss on her neck. Pan was really getting into the feelings, when she helped Adam out of his blazer. As soon as his blazer was removed, Pan worked his shirt over his head. She was able to get a glance at his washboard stomach, to which she ran her fingers all over.
Adam closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of her lithe hands all over his body. Then he leaned back down, and continued to ravish her mouth. His hands set in motion to unbutton her blouse, and he would cop a feel with each button he unfastened. Soon her blouse was open and was hanging off her shoulders. The only thing that was keeping her shirt from falling to the ground was the bending of both of her arms.
Adam brought his lips to her collarbone, and was determined to mark her as his by placing a hickey on her neck. Pan on the other hand, wrapped her arms around his waist. She brought her hands down to his rear, and was surprised to feel him doing the same. He smiled when she yelped in surprised, and then he wickedly smiled at her. He bit down on her lower lip. He pulled on her lower lip with his teeth, and then kissed her once again.
However before they could get any get any further, and yes they both wanted to take things further, the door was suddenly opened. Both Bulma and Trunks walked into the room. Adam scrambled off of Pan, and retrieved his clothes from the floor. Pan hastily put her blouse back on. She fumbled with her buttons until she was fully dressed.
She raised her eyes towards the Briefs, while Adam still struggled to get dressed. She noticed almost that Bulma had a look of absolute shock on her face, and Trunks was mad with anger. He looked at Pan as if she had grown another head, before he turned his attention to Adam.
"You know I expected this from Pan, but from you I expected better. You know things wouldn't be so bad if you weren't doing this IN MY OFFICE!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? I'TS LIKE EVERYBODY HAS COMPLETELY LOST THEIR MIND! YOU KNOW WHAT...YOU'RE FIRED!! CLEAN OFF YOUR DESK, AND GET OUT. YOU'VE HAD IT HERE AT CAPSULE CORPORATION!"
"Whoa hold it chief. I hired him, and only I had can fire him. Adam, can I see in you in my office? Trunks can you handle Pan for me, and no you can't fire her either." Bulma said as she escorted Adam out of the room.
Once they were gone, Trunks could do nothing but stare at her. She grew nervous under his intense stare, and lowered her eyes to her feet.
"Trunks...I'm sorry."
"I really don't want to hear your excuses. Get out of my face. Go eat lunch, sell your body, and just get out of my face. I'm sick of seeing you."
He turned around and walked over to his desk. He hesitated at his desk, and turned back around to look at Pan.
"Did you use my desk? I want to know if I have to order a new desk before I sit down."
"Screw you Trunks."
"No thanks. I'll let Adam handle that. Seemed like he was doing a good job of that already. Get out. Oh and Pan. I expect to see you back in this office on time after your lunch break. You have a lot of time to make up, and I'm guessing that you'll be working well off into the night. You're dismissed."
Pan walked out of Trunks office feeling lower than low, and she was hurt that it was her former friend that made her feel that way. Once again tears marred her face, as she walked out of the room.
Hercule Satan was worried. He was worried about his only daughter, who had locked herself in her bedroom. Ever since she came home, she had been avoiding him and that's what made him worry. He was surprised to find out that she had an affair on Gohan. It also served as a painful reminder of what had happened to him. Videl's mother had also cheated on him, before she died from cancer.
He knew that his daughter was hurting, and there wasn't anything that he could do for her. The only thing that he could think of that could help, was trying to talk to her. He walked up to her bedroom, and knocked on the door. After several failed attempts of trying to get her to answer the door, he placed his head on the door. He could hear her pacing back and forth, and his fears somewhat dispersed. She was fine.
"Videl...sweetie can you open the door?"
"Go away."
"I'm not going to leave this spot until you tell me what's wrong!"
"I already told you everything that I could. Now, could you please leave me alone?" She shouted.
"Why do you keep shutting me out Videl? You're just like your mother."
Videl felt her heart lurch into her stomach. She couldn't believe that her father would say something as cruel and reckless as that.
"Yeah dad. I guess that I am exactly like my mother. Like mother, like daughter huh? I guess I can look forward to Pan turning out to be just like me. Thanks a lot dad. It's nice to know how you really feel about me."
"Videl, you know that's not what I meant. I just don't want you shutting me out of your life like your mother did. Can you please open up the door sweet pea?"
"I just need to be alone. Why can't you understand that?"
"I'm your father. I don't get paid to understand things, but I will always try to understand anything that you're going through. You just need to open up and talk to me, and preferably not through this door."
With a moment of hesitation, Videl walked over to the door. She opened it, and was surprised when her father threw his big arms around her waist.
"I love you sweet pea. Do you know that?"
"Yes. I know daddy."
"You want to talk about it?" Hercule said as he let go of his daughter.
He walked over to her bed and then he sat down. Videl walked over to where he was seated, and she stood in front of him. She placed her hands in his hair, and began playing with his tight black curls.
"Daddy, I thought I told you to cut your hair."
"You know me. I like my fro. Don't you think it brings out my eyes? The ladies love my hair."
"Well their blind. Get a haircut dad, or I'll cut it off for you."
"Let's make a deal. I'll let you cut my hair, if you tell me why you have decided to lock yourself up in this room."
"Daddy what's wrong with me? I mean I had a very good thing, but why did I have to go and screw things up? I don't think that Gohan is ever going to forgive me now."
"He will darling. Trust me I know what he's going through, and you know that. Just give Gohan a little time and space, and I promise you that he'll come back."
"There you go making promises that you can't keep daddy. How can you sit here and tell me that he'll come back. You weren't there dad. You didn't see the way he looked at me. You weren't there to witness the slap that he gave me."
"He hit you?" He said becoming angry.
"That's not the point daddy."
"Oh that's exactly the point. Nobody, and I mean nobody hits my baby girl and gets away with it." He said as he stood up from the bed.
Hercule made his way to the bedroom door, and as he turned to walk out the door Videl stopped him.
"Daddy, please don't do it. He's stronger than you. Please don't go over there trying to start a fight. Promise me."
"Ok. I promise that I won't start a fight. I'll just go over there and talk to him. Hopefully I will be able to convince him to come back home, but for the record he will not be forgiven for hitting you. We will discuss that as well, but for now I'll try to get him to come back."
"Daddy, don't waste your time. It's over, and there's nothing that you or I can do about it. So just forget about it. Ok. If you really want to make me feel better, you can go to the store, and go get me some Rocky Road ice cream."
"Will that really make you feel better?"
"Not really, but two pints would. That way I can have a pint, and you can have the other. It'll be just like old times, with just you and me talking."
"I'd really like that sweet pea."
"So would I daddy, but I would like it more if you would hurry up and go get that ice cream."
Hercule grabbed the girl in another tight embrace, and held her close.
"I love you. You know that don't you?"
"Yeah I know. I love you back daddy. You mean the world to me."
Herule pulled back from the hug and smiled at Videl.
"I guess that'll be one rocky road, and one chocolate vanilla swirl coming up?"
Hercule turned and walked out of his daughter's room. He was smiling from ear to ear as he walked out towards his car. He felt that his daughter was going to be fine, just as long as he stayed by her side through all of this mess. He got in his car, and started the engine. Then he suddenly remembered that he had forgot his wallet on the table. He walked back to the house humming a small melody that he used to sing to Videl when she was a baby. He was surprised to see that he still remembered the song. As soon as he opened the front door, a loud sound made him stop dead in his tracks. The sound made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, and made his heart stop beating it's regular beat. For the sound that he heard was the sound of a gun going off.
For a moment he stood there, before his mind urged him to go check on his daughter. So he hurriedly ran up the stairs, and towards his daughter's bedroom.
"Videl?"
When he stepped into his bedroom, all he could see was his daughter's bloody body lying on the ground. She had a gunshot wound to her head, and Hercule virtually lost it. He started pacing back and forth. He walked over to her, and pulled the gun from her hand. He placed the loaded gun to his temple.
"I have nothing to live for now. I'm so sorry that I failed you sweet pea. I love you"
He quickly pulled the trigger, and his body fell right next to Videl's. If he had only waited for a few more minutes, then he would've seen Videl's body suddenly start to shake, but it was too late for that for Hercule Satan was dead.
Pan was sitting at her desk when she suddenly felt a drop in her mother's kai. She immediately sat up, and then she jumped out of her chair. Tears spilled down her cheeks, and she walked over to the window. With a sense of urgency, she threw open the windows. She flew off towards the direction of her mother.
Gohan was watching a football game when he felt Videl's kai lower down to almost nothing. At first he was so distraught that he had entertained the thought of rushing over there, to see if she was all right. However the jealousy that was in his heart was enough to make him not even want to go.
So he sat back down on the couch, and then he grabbed a bowl of popcorn. He began munching on the popcorn until he felt a warm wet sensation falling from his face. He was aware that he was crying, but he quickly wiped away any evidence of the fallen tears. He refused to cry over a woman who had cheated on him, and with his father no less. No she didn't deserve his tears, and she definitely didn't deserve his concern. So he pushed all thoughts about Videl, and the fact that she might be dying in the back of his head. He sat there oblivious to his own conflicting emotions, and he watched as the Houstonians made an extraordinary touchdown.
Trunks was in a very busy meeting, one that he couldn't get out of when he felt Videl's Kai drop. He also felt Pan own panicky kai rise, and for one brief moment he felt sorry for her. It's true that they weren't the best of friends, but he was worried about her mother's well being. He excused himself for an instance, and called his mom on the intercom phone.
"Bulma Briefs office."
"Mom get a ambulance towards Videl's house. I just felt Videl's kai fall, and I think that she might be hurt. I'm in a meeting right now, and I can only sense Pan's kai going towards her."
"All right I'll do that now."
Trunks hung up the phone, and resumed his meeting. Even though an emergency pulled Pan away from her job, Trunks made a note that she was going to make up all the time she lost. Just because her mom was hurt didn't mean that he was going to go easy on her. He aimed at making her life a living nightmare.
Wow that was the longest chapter ever I think. I hope that you guys enjoyed that. I'll give out my thanks and shout outs in the next chapter.
Speaking of which next chapter: Videl is put on life support, and Trunks forces Pan to get back to work. Also Gohan does something that will guarantee him a life in HFIL. Also Goku has been granted a 42-hour pass to leave limbo. I will also have a flashback sequence, describing what happened at Pan's and Adam's lunch break. What will happen next? Until then, Ladybugg signing out.
