Disclaimer: I wouldn't write a fanfic if I owned DBGT. I would write more episodes, wouldn't I?

Voulez Vous is going to be put on hold because I almost forgot the dream. What I remember of it, though, would be confusing... very confusing.

I would like to thank Tiki-chan, who changed her name to ShadowObscurity. Mturtle, that last chapter should have been somewhat to your liking! You will get to learn more about Neo and Lyric's little family, big legacy, lol!

I also want to thank everyone else that reviewed, but right now Tiki gets the main spot light. (Read figure9. It's short, but *makes thumbs up sign* It's good! *winks and laughs*)

What I want to say is that you learn as I go along, hehehe. Can you imagine a pregnant woman having a baby? Not even knowing the details until the baby is a few years old? Neo will be a good father, though... he's just so shy....^_^;

Also, I requested a few chapters ago for help with making italics and bold print show up. I can't seem to get it to show, even though almost every chapter I've written up to this point has had italics embedded throughout. For some reason I don't understand, the italics and bold print just won't show! How do they show up on your fics (if they do) and would you please tell ME how to do it? (Had to capitalize 'me.' Otherwise, you wouldn't see the italics!)

This chapter is definitely an R. To any hentais out there, just cause it's an R doesn't make it a lemon, you silly etchii! *sticks her tongue out and jokingly blows a raspberry* Oh, and just to warn you: Neo uses some strong language in this chappie. Wonder why he's so intense? What is making him so emotional? Read and ye shall know!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Lyric!" Pan and Neo shouted respiectively and both ran forward to catch her before she hit the ground. She was already on her knees at that point, and far gone. They brought her to Neo's bed and lay her down in the middle. The raven haired Japanese woman and silver haired racially mixed twenty-four year old sat on either side of her, both worried out of their minds. The green haired 'fusion' seemed to be sleeping at the moment. Neo and Pan let out simultaneous sighs of relief.

Pan was the first to speak.

"She said," Pan began with a nervous gulp, " that I wasn't the only one. If she means what I think she means, then how-"

"At the party," Neo answered simply.

Pan was shocked. How could he be so calm at a time like this?! He impregnated her and his sister was found to be pregnant with someone's baby at this moment, yet his sister's news did not seem to faze him in the least!

Then Pan was angry. Furrowing her eyebrows, she began, "Why are-"

"It's happened before." he had responded immediately.

Pan quieted. This was more information than she'd anticipated. When his words finally sunk in, her questions came unbound.

"How did you-?!Why did she-!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'It's happened before' ?!!" she exclaimed.

Neo sighed sadly. " You could have asked about our family, Pan, and yet we never even thought to ask you about yours. Why don't you tell me why you left your family and your first love behind, instead of telling him?" he said slowly, methodically.

Pan balked. She asked him first! But what he said was true. She had purposely not told them of her past, and she had asked very little about their family and history. Now was certainly a time as well as any to tell the truth.

Pan sighed at this realization. She had to confess, and it had to be now.

" You first." She chickened out. 'Way to go, Panny,' she thought sardonically.

" I owe you that much, don't I?" Sighing, he picked up where he left off.

" When Lyric was about 15, she got really into dating. Immersed herself, actually. Mom and pops never found out, and I know I should have told them, but I didn't have the heart to say that she was taking things further in her relationships than was right...and I... I didn't do much to put an end to it in the first place..."

Pan nodded in understanding. Pan had a boyfriend when she was fifteen, but her relationship didn't go too well when he found out how good of a fighter she was. Her lips twisted at how sour it ended. "Go on, " she said, obviously interested, although she could now guess what had happened.

Neo sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, his legs hanging off the bed, instead of lying on his side next to his little sister. Pan got up and sat next to him with inquiring eyes.

"She..." he trailed off.

" She?" asked Pan.

Neo shook his head and exhaled exasperatedly. His voice was husky with emotion, and his very way of speaking changed dramatically. At least, it had changed dramatically to Pan's saiyan ears.

" Lyric had a new boyfriend every damned week, and I told her to stop. I told her to cool it, wait a while, but she didn't wanna listen. She kept playin' her mind games, and it went too far. I still wish to this day that our house wasn't so damned big and that Lyric didn't have a window in her room. Selfish? Probably, but my fears are justified. She planned on dumping a guy she'd stayed with for about three weeks. She told me why, too. I don't know why I didn't see it coming then as I had before, but I told her not to be alone with this guy when she broke it off. That night, she let him into her room by making him climb up a rope and into her window. Mistake number one. He told her he wanted to take things one step further, and that she should do this to prove her love for him. Like the little idiot she was, she agreed. That was mistake two. She lost her virginity and a week later she found out she was pregnant. She thought the guy loved her enough to at least marry her, or take care of the kid when it was born."

Neo's eyes darkened then, and Pan inhaled sharply. She had never thought of him as dangerous. In fact, she thought he was as helpless or harmless as a puppy, for he certainly was a gentle as one. But the look in his eyes... that cold stare... he could have murdered in cold blood and never looked back, or so she felt that his eyes were indicating.

" The asshole broke up with her when he found out. Made a big scene, too. She told him at a mall, hoping he would be rational about it if people were around. Mistake number three. They were in a restaurant when she revealed her pregnancy. He stood up and shouted at her, calling her a slut, a bitch- any bad thing you can think of, he named it. He insisted that it couldn't have been his, that she must have been with another guy and was trying to make him take responsibility for something he couldn't have done.

" When she told him that he was the only one she'd ever been with, he slapped her right then and there. I wasn't there, and I think Lyric was glad. I was about eighteen or nineteen at the time, and had a bad tendency to act with my heart instead of my head. I'm sure she was glad, because, had I been there, I would have beat the living shit out of him," he growled. His hands were clenched tightly into fists and his nails dug into his palms, sharp. Any harder and his palms would surely bleed form the pressure.

Pan gulped and nodded,sweatdropping. She encouraged him with her nods, but she suddenly felt bad for instigating into the matter.

" After he slapped her he kept yelling, and someone called the police on their cell 'cause they were so worried about what would happen if no one else had. They came, arrested him, called us, and we came as fast as we could. No one would tell the police what they were yelling about and even though mom and dad were mad at her for not telling them she was dating, they let her off easy by telling her not to go behind their backs again. She was heartbroken and told me about her pregnancy. She told me she no longer wanted the baby, now that the father was being such a dick. What hurt me was how she wanted to lose the baby."

Neo inhaled and rubbed his face with his fingers, which were trembling. Pan felt that a hug was innapropriate, even though she wanted to comfort him. She looked down at her shoes and patted his back instead, feeling guilty about learning this secret.

" Mom and dad may have known about her dating at last, but she didn't tell them that she got knocked up. When she told me she wanted to lose the baby, I asked her about how she was planning to do it. She looked me right in the eyes and told me to punch her, right in the stomach."

Pan's eyes widened in disbelief. Why would anyone be so desperate?!

"I stuttered and told her I couldn't-wouldn't- do it, and she hit me again and again, demanding that I punch her in the gut so that she would lose the baby. I got mad and told her she should just have the baby, stay in school, and take care of it for getting herself in this situation in the first place. Hearing that, she just broke down and cried.

" I felt like such an asshole when I saw her crying that I hugged her and told her there were other options. When I told her about abortions, she freaked out. I told her it could be confidential and she went along with it. Our parents... give us huge allowances. We were supposed to use it for college, but we used it for that abortion. Surprisingly enough, the 'rents never found out. "

He snorted, " We never saw the guy again."

He laughed then; a cold, mirthless laugh. The sardonic laugh sent a shiver down Pan's spine and she actually felt scared for once. Her powers had been fluctuating and she didn't know if she would be able to fend him off if he started something.

He was no longer laughing, but crying.

Pan felt nervous and ackward. She had never seen a man cry before-aside from her father on her birthdays, of course.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and felt tears coming to her own eyes.

Neo calmed down enough to return her arms to her sides.

"It doesn't end here. She didn't learn from her mistakes and she continued to have permiscuous relationships. After the abortion I promised I would take care of her as best as I could, but she didn't seem to believe me. I should have told mom, at the very least! I should have said something, but she made me promise her I wouldn't tell. I had the chance to tell them she was dating and I didn't take that chance. When she got pregnant and had the abortion, she swore me to secrecy."

Neo lay back back on his bed with his hands on his face. Pan was silent. What could she say after a revelation such as this? What could anyone say?

"What happened to you?" he asked, his face hidden under his hands, the long and graceful fingers that announced him a pianist spread over his eyes.

Neo's sudden question startled her out of her reverie. Turning to look at him, her face as surprised as she felt, she asked, " What are you talking about?!"

He removed his fingers from his left eye, the lonely blue orb shimmering in her direction. "I told you about Lyric's little habits and what makes me so protective of her, now you need to tell me why you're running away from Japan."

Pan scoffed. "I'm not running away. Warriors face their problems head on, they don't run away."

Neo's left eyebrow raised inquisitively.

Pan growled in annoyance. "I swear, it's like you and your sister can read minds or something!"

This cause Neo to drop his hands from his face on plop them onto his shaking stomach.

His laughter startled Pan, but her black irises glimmered with anger. "Are you going to be serious about this or not?! Cause I always have the option of not telling you!!"

Neo calmed his laughter to mere giggles and responded, "That option was lost the morning we found ourselves in eachother's arms! Out with it or I'll read your mind again."

Pan growled throatily, but pressed on.

" For just once I want to prove that I can walk without my father there to see if I hurt my ankle," she growled out, rolling her eyes.

" I want to be able to walk down the street without Bra, my best friend, worrying about my hair and wardrobe. Sure, even going down to the ice cream shop in Satan City would be great if Trunks or Grampa Satan weren't hanging around, offering to pay for the bill because 'I couldn't ' " she ended in a mocking sing song.

Neo sat up and listened patiently. His calm eyes made her feel odd and self-conscious, but she pressed on at what she felt was his silent way of encouraging her to go on.

So she did.

" My mom, grandparents, father, friends....they all care about me, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but...sometimes...I wish they would just let me make my own decisions, or think that I can't walk down the path that I choose without someone there to hold my hand and tell me it's okay!"

Pan felt a tear drip onto her right cheek. She wiped at it haphazardly, then placed her left hand lighly over her stomach.

"It would seem... that I, too, will be doing the very things I despised since childhood to my own. If irony could kill," she said, laughing sadly.

Neo put an arm around her, pulled her into his shoulder, and let her go. Pan was surprisingly grateful for the sign of affection.

"Miss Independant," he muttered lowly.

"What?"

Neo looked up at Pan's question. Slowly, he repeated," Miss Independant."

Pan wrinkled her nose.

"What's that supposed to mean? Who's Miss Independant?"

Neo laughed slightly and said, "It's a song... I don't remember who sings it. Lyric knows that stuff, not me. I just play the songs, I don't sing them," he said, moving his fingers in the air to demonstrate. The graceful gesture was not lost on her.

"Of course, you might prefer to hear 'Independant Woman' by Destiny's Child. Their popularity has died down a bit in recent years, but that's just my opinion. Mind you, that song was pretty good to my ears," he said with a childish smile.

Pan giggled. His way of being was surprisingly reassuring.

Neo suddenly spoke as though he had just remembered something.

"Oh! Remember when I told you I stole a cd or two from Lyric? She's a fairly big Utada Hikaru fan, and she already has two cds...

She has Distance and Deep River, which seem to be in a bigger circulation than First Love. I still have Deep River, and I think I have Distance somewhere."

He raised his eyes challengingly. "Wanna give it a go?" Pan tittered and said, " I'm game!"

Neo hopped off the bed, lifting his body and sending it into the air by pushing with his arms, and took long strides to his closet.

Pan called out "Wait!" as he was inside his closet.

He bumped his head while trying to stand back up, "Ack!" and rubbed his head with one closed eye.

"Yeah?"

"Um," pan couldn't help but giggle. He looked so..ridiculous.

" How about we listen to Distance this time? Last time we listened to Deep River, we wound up with an unexpected result," she said, her lips twisting wryly.

Neo laughed and ducked his head back into the closet. After a few minues of searching, he came back out with a cd in his hand and a triumphant smirk on his face. Grabbing his cd player, he took the cd that was already inside and put it into the Distance case after removing the Distance cd.

He inserted the Distance cd and offered Pan one earphone, which she willingly took, while he took the other for his own ear.

The two colleagues and parents to be then lay on either side of the green haired girl and fell asleep to the sounds of Utada's 'Distance.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
