Toran entered the house on cloud nine. All he could think of was his Panny and the kiss; it was wonderful she had kissed back! And she smiled! He wanted hold her again. That tease of a kiss she'd left him with only made him want to kiss her some more.

"I'm home! Is anybody in?"

Matsuri poked her head out of the kitchen, pot in hand preparing dinner, "What happen to you?" She commented stirring the pots contents, "You're a mess, look at you your bleeding." she scrunched her nose, "And you stink too."

"Me and Panny went sparring." he smiled, he began heading into the kitchen, sparring made one very hungry. Matsuri halted him waving her spoon threateningly.

"Don't you even think of coming in here till you take shower and get some Ice on that eye... Hey are you listening to me?"

"Huh?"

"Arrgh you're hopeless," she steered him out of the kitchen, "Don't come back till you smell better. Man, has he got it bad." She shook her head. Normal guys did movies and dinner, leave It to Toran to go sparring as a first date, "What ever floats your boat." she muttered turning back to the stove.

"What the heck happen to you?" asked her very surprised uncle as he opened the door.

"Hey, Goten what are you doing here?" she'd been expecting her parents.

"Can't your uncle visit his dear brother and family?" he said giving her a innocent Son smile. "You didn't answer my question." she opened her mouth but her mother came to the door behind Goten.

"Goten let her in. What are you doing just standing in the door like that? Pan!" Videl did a double take, she sighed, "and you're going to explain while I put some ice on that eye. Come on let's get you cleaned up."

Videl sat her down on the couch pressing and Ice pack on her semi swelled eye.

"Where's dad?" She asked as Goten went to go get a first aid kit. It be much easier to tell her mom alone then with her dad present.

"Pan?!" well that answers my question...

Gohan sat down across from the two women as Goten reentered the room kit In hand.

"She was just about to tell us what happened. Right?" her mother prompted.

She blushed; did they all have to be there? Why not just invite the briefs and Grandma Chichi and Grandpa Satan too.

"I was sparring."

"And you gave yourself a black eye?" her father asked skeptically.

"No! Ah... You know that guy I mentioned last time I was here; well he and I went sparring this afternoon. I should've gone home first to clean up I forgot; but it's nothing major."

Goten laughed at her good-naturedly, teasing her a bit,

"Who could make sweet little Pan forget something like that? Or better yet; what'd he do to make her forget?" She glared at her uncle, trying to cover the blush rising to her cheeks. Gohan frowned. "Still he shouldn't have given you a black eye..."

"Gohan, don't go over and try and beat the guy up. I think It's sweet she's found someone to have a good time with. You should invite him over some time." Videl suggested.

"Sure maybe some time, he's one of my partners on the case I'm working on."

"So you see him often?" her mom giggled, seeing her daughter so flushed on the subject.

Videl couldn't remember anyone ever doing that to her daughter, unfortunately neither did Gohan and he wasn't as forthcoming as his wife. Not when he could smell who ever it was on her. A poignant spicy scent. All right, so they had been sparring but still... He would have to check the guy of her affections later, whenever she brought him over, for dinner.

He'd make sure that was very soon.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

After dinner, much teasing from Goten and her mother and many meditating murder expressions from Gohan, Pan finally retreated to her room.

They'd kept it the exact same way it was before she'd had left for college. She even had a set of clothes there for times when she came over. She sat down on her bed smoothing out the warm blue comforter that was spread over it.

He was an amazing kisser, it was sweet and shy, not rough like other times she'd been kissed. She blushed just thinking about it, ' Man I can't even think about him with out turning red.' She'd enjoyed his arms whe wrapped around her. She had felt as if the world didn't exist anymore, in that moment.

She sighed, 'And now my parents wanted to meet him. Great why couldn't I just lie?!"

Cause they see right through it anyway

'Would you quit nagging me? How am I supposed to get out of this one? I can't just say, here my new boyfriend, Trunks, you remember him right, the one they're holding a funeral for in less than four months. Marron's ex fi-' Pan slapped her forehead,

"Holy crap! I forgot about her! She's supposed to come by in two weeks to visit! I hope won't she see him while she visiting."

'How is she going to feel about all this?'

If it's any constellation Trunks said he didn't want to meet anybody until he regain his memories. Remember?

'Oh yeah that's right so you can be of some help. So I won't have to worry about it until then, but...'

But? but is never a good sign.

'But what if regains his memories and decides to be friends again? Or if he still loves Marron? Am I taking advantage of the fact that he has no memory of his past?'

There was no answer from the voice, only silence. Pan sighed slipping into her nightie. Just when things get good something bad was sure to follow. A small feeling of guilt began to gnaw at the back of Pan's mind sow the seeds of doubt even as she drifted into the lad of nod.

Monday at the station. Toran mood was considerably worse then it had been at the start of the weekend. He may have been wandering around like a love struck idiot but that didn't mean he made people listen to him, unlike some people. Matsuri had force him to listen till his ear began to bleed then made him cook his own meals for the rest of the weekend, on the account that 'he wasn't paying any attention.' There was only so much he wanted to hear about Gabe.

Right now he wanted to see Pan, badly, but he still had a few papers to go through, mainly on his case. Observation he had made at the victim's house. Toran sat at his temporary desk, wondering if there wasn't something he was missing about the whole thing, some big clue he and the others had failed to see,

I still need to talk to Tosei

Unlike Seito, Tosei was very serious and dedicated to his work. Their case wasn't the only one to be handled at the moment so he was busy handling other smaller ones all weekend.

"Hey Toran what ya doing?" Toran turned around to see Gabe waving gingerly at him. The man was a little taller then him with curly dirty blonde hair and trusting brown eyes. He had an easygoing aura about him that followed him where he went.

"What happen to your eye? Nevermind. I have a feeling I don't want to know."

"I was thinking, about what we could have over looked."

Gabe nodded, "Yeah me and Matsuri went to look at the other two houses that were damaged. They both had some of those marks, like the ones on the wall, or similar ones. Anyways, she told me to tell you that one of them reminded her of the Toran and the Saiga. Have any idea what she's talking about?"

"Yeah it's a sword that belonged to my Sensei's father, it was stolen a long time ago. I'm not quite sure what the Saiga is though."

Gabe smiled and shrugged, "Oh well, I'll take to her about it." Toran saw Gabe's eye flicker behind him then suppress another smile.

Toran 'felt' someone walk up behind him. He turned to find Pan tring to sneak up on him. She grinned impishly, snapping her fingers

"Darn! so close."

"You'll have to be quicker than that, Panny." he teased

She was beautiful, even in jeans and an ordinary T-shirt, identical black eye and all.

"You just got lucky that's all."

"I'll say." He agreed, he had to be lucky to meet someone her.

Gabe looked back and forth between the two, "Toran, what have you done to her?" he asked teasingly, "I haven't seen her smile this much since she joined us 5 years ago. Is that a hint of a red on her cheeks and oh my! It's not out of anger?" He looked at Toran with mock seriousness, "I don't think we can handle this sudden change. Are you sure you're the real Pan Son?"

Pan swatted at him playfully, "GABE!"

"Alright! Alright, I can see you want to be left alone..." he chuckled backing off, "See you two later I got to go find Matsuri, and see what she's doing."

"Later! So how was your weekend?" Pan asked pulling up a chair next to him. Her eye bright and sunny as was her smile.

"Well it wasn't that great...

"Oh why so?" she asked innocently pouting slightly, not knowing just how tempting it made her look, he wanted to kiss her right then and there.

"You weren't in it." he blurted. He blushed, "I mean- I..." she had a faint blush across her cheeks as well. "Mine wasn't so hot either, I'll tell you about it later though, we still need to talk to Chief. He's in his office right now." she suggested

"Alright give me five minutes to wrap this up."

"Sure thing."

The two entered the chief's office together. Tosei looked up from under this hat, "Can I help you? Have you found anything?"

"Yeah we ran a search the other day for people who match the one who had been kidnapped and your one of them." Pan said bluntly.

She wasn't one to pussy foot around, he gathered.

Tosei scratched his leathery face, "Me?" Toran nodded, "Yes sir. We were wondering if you could tell us a bit about your past to help out."

"Of course"

Tosei told them that he'd grown up in a tiny village in the Blue Mountains with his father, mother, older sister and twin brother Seito. He and his brother had been trained in the art of the Shadow.

To walk, move and become like a shadow. Quick, silent and deadly. They had been very peaceful until his father's sword, the Toran had been stolen, there father had gone after the thief and never returned. Their mother died of grief shortly after.

He and his brother had left their village to find their father.

They'd searched for him all through the mountain range finding no trace of him, they'd come here, to the city in search of him.

Finally giving up, they both had settled down Seito had returned to the mountains while Tosei stayed in Sataan city.

When Tosei had finished the story Toran asked about the Saiga.

The chief was moderately shock when he asked, but answered anyway.

The Saiga and Toran where twin swords the same in every way, both had been named after great warriors of the past. Their blades were the sharpest ever made they were only a molecule thick, able to cut through anything even the strongest metals.

"Even you Pan, might not be able to stand up to them. " the old man commented. Toran looked at her, she gave him a 'I'll tell you later' look.

The swords were created, Tosei continued, by the village's only scientist, the old man had disappeared years before the thief had taken place. He had taken the Saiga with him intrusting his father with the Toran.

"It was rumored that the thief who had stolen our father's sword had had the Saiga, but no one knows for certain. That all I know, dose that help any?"

"Let's hope so."

"Well as for the people who are potential victims of the kidnapper, I'll have some undercover surveillance put around their homes. As for myself I put some cameras around the place this evening I want you and Matsuri to pack your stuff and be ready to move elsewhere just incase."

"But sir-"

"I don't want to hear it, I'm sure Matsuri will burn me at the stake for it already," he shook his head, "That girl's got her mother's temper, she's such a loud cannon sometime." he commented to himself.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to see if I can get a hold of some hidden cameras. Good day two you." he stood and briskly left the room leave Toran and Pan in silence.

"What do we do now?"

"As much as I hate to admit it there is nothing we can do till something happens, this time we'll be able to see who's doing this and put a stop to it."

"So what do you want to do now?"

"Wanna get something to eat?"

"You read my mind."

Matsuri rolled her eyes hearing the last part of the pairs conversation. That girl's perfect for him with that kind of appetite. I can't imagine how much their kids would eat.

"You're not jealous are you?"

Matsuri scoffed at the suggestion," Of those two? Not likely. I pity the unsuspecting businesses they're about to eat out."

"Well you don't sound that way."

Matsuri began walking away he followed,

"You never answered me."

"It wasn't a question. Quit following me!"

"I'm curious... and persistent.

"If you must know we were sent here to learn to work as a team. Not gallivanting around town."

"Toran is learning to work as a team. A different kind of team...

"Oh? Is that so. Enlighten me." Gabe's eyes gleamed devilishly.

"How 'bout I enlighten you over some lunch as well."
