A/N- so sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up. OMG some of my most favorite writers in the whole universe are reading my fic! Now how cool is that? Anyway here is chapter 2. Personally I don't like how I did this one. Hopefully I do the next chapter better, but I'll let you be the judge of this chapter for me.

For the Love of A Pirate Prince

Chapter 2- Nice to meet you

At the party people chatted and danced amongst themselves. I was unfortunately not one for such formals, so I merely floated along the room of people and royalties curtsying and thanking all that congratulated me on my arranged marriage to Prince Drake, son of King Yamcha. Though it should have been sympathetic gestures if you ask me.

King Yamcha's family rule over a few islands of Japan that are not part of the main land. Since my dad rules Japan entirely King Yamcha's power is limited. Only reason his family has those lands is because in my dad's family history. His great- great- great grandfather help mines reclaim what was his, which was the thrown of Japan. And since Yamcha's ancestor was so unselfish and helped my father's ancestor he gave him some of the islands in which he could help him rule.

Blah. What a complicated history lesson. Anyways like I was saying.

Prince Drake wasn't exactly my first pick for a husband. Sure he was handsome, that was without certainty, but there was just something about his behavior I didn't like. For instance...the way he clings to other women that weren't me. Even though it really isn't a bad thing mind you, you would think one to be more loyal than that right?

Surely must be a trait from his father. Surely.

Pan stopped writing in her book. She closed her eyes as she pictured the rest of the night in her mind before picking up her pen again to continue on writing.

######Flash Back#######

Pan walked threw the crowd until a hand clasped on her arm. She turned to see who dared touch her. It was Drake to her dismay.

"Ii there you are Dove." He said in a raspy voice. "Let go of my arm." Pan demanded as she tried to pull her arm free. "Feisty aren't we eh? I would love to see how aggressive you are in other...situations." He breathed into her ear. Pan's eyes widened with recognition and quickly disappeared from his side mixing in with the huge wave of people. Drake smirked to himself as he imagined what he would gain out of this arrangement.

Pan walked briskly in the mob of people looking frantically for any means of escape. After walking in a heated daze she realized where she was. She was in her mother's garden. The one place she ever felt safe from the cruel intentions of the world and fate.

She walked until she spotted the stone bench in the heart of the garden unaware of the male figure that followed her. She plopped down on the bench and began to tug lightly at the curled strand of raven hair that was framing her delicate face. She looked into the pond in front of her with sad eyes.

She hated being a princess. Always alone, always stereotyped, and you were treated like you were property. And what's life if you're only an object of possession in one's eye?

"Why such a long face Princess. Isn't tonight to be a happy one?" A soft voice beckoned to her. A small smirk tugged at Pan's lips as her eyes still remained full of sadness. "It depends really. On witch side you look on." Pan choked as if she were going to cry.

"Well I don't believe I understand you. Wouldn't you be as so kind to clarify for me?" The voice said again. "But I don't even believe I know you." Pan stated turning around smiling softly up to the tall figure.

The man was tall and had black hair that seemed to go in any which way. But also it seemed to fit the gentleness of his features. He was elegantly dressed in a nice pressed white shirt and black pants. And he had on a black clock and black boots.

The mysterious man returned her smile as he bowed to her. "My name is Son, Goku and I'm just a passerby. It just so happen I came here the same night as your celebration and so I thought before I go I'd pay my respects before I continue on my way."

"How sweet of you Goku. Now that you've done so you may continue your journey." Pan said as she nodded to him her approval.

"But you look sad dear Princess. On the night of her Arrangement Celebration." "That's not my celebration. It's Drake's for all I care." She stated bitterly. The man, now known as Goku, looked at her quizzically

"Surely he couldn't be that bad Princess." "Oh but he is and so much more. He's gross, selfish, and I have no feelings for him!" Pan all but shouted.

Goku leapt back about from the sheer volume of her voice. 'Just like Chichi.' Goku thought as he inwardly smiled. Pan looked over to Goku and notice that he had moved back some. "I'm deeply sorry if I startled you. It's just that I hate having other people rule my life. Not letting me rule it for a change..." She trailed off. Once again she looked up to Goku.

"I'm sorry to bore you. I-I must go." Pan said as she began to go. "Ii wait." Goku stated stopping Pan from going anywhere. "You do not bore me for you are just being honest. Which means you probably have been bottling up that anger and frustration for a long time. And it's a good thing you finally talked about to someone. Even if you don't know them well. It's at least nice to know they will listen to you." He reasoned with her.

Pan considered his words for a moment. In a way he did make sense. After all she was feeling a tiny bit better at least knowing she finally told someone how she really felt.

"Thank you Goku." She said warmly. "And Princess if you would do me but one small favor for me?" "Yes Sir Goku. The least I could do for you listening to me." Pan replied. "Thank you. Could you tell your father, the King, that I Goku said that he is doing well and raised a smart and beautiful daughter." Goku asked with a bow.

Pan blushed slightly, but nodded her head. "Surely Sir Goku." Pan said as she gave a small curtsy and continued her way back into the castle.

Though Pan' s back was to him she didn't see Goku smirk openly with a muttered. "Thank you my grand daughter."

/INSIDE THE CASTLE/

"Princess where were you? The King and Queen have been requesting your presence at the throne for 10 minutes now!" Marron said in a harsh whisper. Her sky blue eyes boring a hole at Pan. "Non of your business Marron. Now go away." Pan hissed as she started off towards her mother and father.

She really hated that maid. She would dismiss her only if her mother made it so she couldn't do so. She always had something to say about everything and that drove her insane.

But Pan was so caught up in her thoughts she bumped right into someone. "Hey watch were your going." The male growled. "How dare you talk to me that way." Pan hissed as she tried to regain her balance. Pan looked up at the disrespectful man and the man turned around to see the rude woman that bumped into him.

Immediately the man's face paled. "M-my Princess.... I had no idea. Gomen." The purpled haired, blue eyed, handsome man apologized. He was the most gorgeous man Pan had ever laid eyes on...Well besides Drake, but he was to no comparison of the hunk of Adonis that stood before the silent Princess who had hid her emotions behind a mask of calmness.

"So you speak English and Japanese?" Pan questioned while raising a
delicate eyebrow.

###End of flash back returning to pov###

If only I knew what in the high heaven I was getting myself into talking with that purple haired devil. His answer would have been probably one of the key things that lead to my kidnapping that night. Maybe even so it was planned.

For you see it was from that very moment that I started to converse with the spawn of hell that I was introduce to more people I would soon find sharing my new adventures out on the big, endless waters of the ocean.

First there was Bardock and Goten whom I didn't know at the time being until after I was abducted. Then after the short talk with Trunks after I walked into Drake who dragged me off to the throne of my parents King Gohan and his Queen Videl. It was there I met face to face, once again unknowingly, with another member of the Saiyan Pirate Crew, Vegeta. Later on I would find out he was the leader, no scratch that, King of the group of men and few women.

Any way as I approached them the strange, mysterious man with the hair that stood on his head like a flame cast his dark eyes to me. A small smirk tugging on his youthful figured face.

"Ah the daughter of the great King Gohan. You must be proud of this young lady." He began. "Surely she has gotten some of your Great Spirit and not all of your spouses fine heritage." He added. I was lost in a wave of confusion as he spoke this. Was I missing something? What did he mean by having my father's 'Great Spirit' anyway?

I looked to my father in time to see his face visibly harden with an unknown emotion to me that I would soon learn to be a fusion between frustration and anger.

"Father...Mother..." I said with a curtsy as an awkward silence overcame us all. "Daughter" My mother acknowledged as she raised her hand upward as a gesture for me to stand up straight. "Where were you?" My father asked his black eyes still locked with the shorten man before him.

My father had never done this to me before and so I was at a lost as to why he was acting so...so strangely.

"In the garden getting a little fresh air....I was getting dizzy." I lied. Though I'm guessing at this point my father bought the lie or just took it because he removed his gaze from the weird man to me. "That is fine, but do remember that this party is for you. Do not go outside again.... not alone and unprotected." My father spoke.

The man before him only chuckled which slightly unnerved me.

"Oh don't worry my dear King... A storm isn't due for another few days here. Should be fine for outdoor enjoyment. Besides you never know how long you got until the big storms hit right?" He said as he bowed out of repect. "I wish you the best of luck dear Princess and a safe finish of the year." With that he stood up full height and left.

As I watched his form retreat I was even more confused as to what he had meant. Stormy weather? Safe finish of the year? Exactly what was he talking about? Though for the time being my questions went unanswered.

"Gohan" I heard my mother softly call to my father. Just then I had remembered the request that the man called Goku had asked me.

"Father." I hesitated not sure as to how to bring up the subject of Son, Goku. "Yes?" My father questioned as he grabbed his head in one hand as he turned to sit on his thrown. "As I was coming back into the place a man had stopped me and asked me to deliver you a message." I stated. "Continue." "I wanted me to tell you that you are doing well and that you raised a smart and beautiful daughter." Pan finished.

"Exactly who did you say this person was?" Gohan asked as he looked up at his daughter. "I didn't say his name yet, but he said that it was Son, Goku." Pan replied confused as a mixture of emotion flashed in his eyes, as shock was his more permanent facial feature.

"Pan you are not leave my sight at anytime tonight is that understood?" "What?" Pan asked in confusion with her father's sudden outburst. "Do as I say for once please Pan." Her father reasoned with her as he rushed off into the crowd of people.

As the party continued I grew bored on the now tight leash my father has just put me on and tired of dealing with the Prince of all Perverts. I swore if he touched me in a place he was forbidden to touch until the night of our marriage I swore there would be nothing of him to touch me with.

As I bid him good-night my heart did flips to see him walk off and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I was exhausted. The nights never ending activities wore me off. Little did I know that the next 4 hours after I lay down would be my last?

As I laid down in total and complete bliss I heard the creak of my big balcony window doors open. My eyes shot open. Barely I heard the faint sounds of walking and whispering. I lay perfectly still afraid to move. A move one of few friends in the castle Uub taught me.

He'd say one of the best forms of attacks on a person were the unexpected one. Like the one whoever it was that was in her room. If it was me they were after than they would be in for the shock of their lives when I attack them when they think I'm still asleep.

I'm a Very light sleeper. Unless I'm drop dead sleepy I'll wait up to almost any sound. Especially at night when I'm trying to get to dreamland.

From my sensitive ears I could detect that there were two intruders in my rooms. Each one coming from a different side of my bed. They were now at the foot of bed pausing to see if I would move or not.

I forced myself to relax to look like I was still sleeping since I was guessing at the time they must have had good eye sight to not walk into anything in my room in the dark. But that's beside the point.

They did buy the thought of me still being asleep because they creep a little closer up to my bed I quickly slung my legs from under the covers kicking both of them in the face. Gasps of shock sounded off and I took the time to jump off my bed and over one of them and sprinted for my bedroom door.

Just as I was about to call and bang on the door for help one of the intruders regained himself quickly and came up behind me covering my mouth with one hand and holding my arms still with the other. "Clam down child. I don't wish to harm you." He said gently. "Are you okay?" He called to his companion. A grunt was his only response.

Though I wasn't much of a fighter, Uub had taught me enough self- defense for me to take some decent amount of care for myself. And so the minute the man let his guard down to check on his friend I bite down hard on the his hand that covered my mouth and once his grip loosened on my arms I moved my elbow and then jammed it into his guts.

He let go completely of me and before his friend could do anything I opened my door and began to flee out.

As I prepared to call to one of the many guards outside my bedroom door I stopped myself as all of their bodies lay in heaps on the marble floor. It was gross sight to see. They weren't dead, but at the time for me it looked like they were. And there leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest was the man responsible for the guards that littered my floor. Smirking that arrogant smirk of his that was bittersweet to me.
