Chapter 4: Heartworm

Princess Sango

Pan woke up but when she moved her body pain started to move through her body, especially in her head and back. Lying back down she saw Trunks walk inside, still in his pajamas, but looking ready to wake her up. "Not today Trunks," Pan whined to him.

Laughing Trunks sat down on the edge of her bed. "You know, you really are weak."

Pan's anger flared and she couldn't control herself as she punched Trunks in the face, "Don't ever call me weak!"

Trunks held his face in his hand while continuing to rub it, "You know, maybe I should get you angry more often if that was really how hard you hit. Today we're going to do some training with the androids, get up, now."

Pan's eyes widened and she shook her head, black hair flying this way in that, and then sulked back into the covers and closed her eyes, "I'm not facing them."

"Oh yes you are Pan, now and today." Trunks yelled back at her and pulled the sheets off and picked her up, placed her in the tub and turned the water on to the coldest degree.

"I'm up, I'm up!" Pan started to yell as Trunks laughed and walked out and heard another comment, "Pain in the ass."

"Why thank-you!" Trunks yelled back happily as he continued to walk proudly out of the room.

When Pan was dressed and most importantly fed, they left with Bulma's best wishes and sought out the androids. Finding them was easy but Pan seemed on the edge. Looking up at Trunks who started to confront them, Pan stayed back until #18 noticed me.

"Why Trunks, you brought a girlfriend," #18 taunted as she came up to Pan and looked her straight in the eye, "Nice to meet you, but unfortunately my pretty, their can only be one girl here and it's not you!"

Pan tried to block the blow of a ki blast and successfully did but the fact that she didn't know how to create one #18 had an advantage. When Pan was able to get a few good punches in, yet #18 would ki blast her away and then strike again, and this repeated many times. Soon Pan's arm was broken and so were a couple of her ribs and she collided with earth and gravel as she heard 17 say he was bored and they should leave now. 'Don't sound so sure of yourself bud, I'm a sayain, and I heard you're afraid, well I won't give up. I'll be stronger next time!' her mind screamed as Trunks picked her up and took her a remote woodsy area and took in her damages.

Sighing he shook his head, "You're really wounded, why didn't you tell me you didn't know how to ki blast?"

"I didn't know there was such a thing," Pan gasped out and fainted.

Trunks sighed; she needed mouth-to-mouth, so leaning his head back he started to breathe into her mouth until Pan woke up, "What the hell are you doing?"

"You passed out; I didn't want you to die. Some thanks from you," Trunks answered as he leaned down and studied her face, how tired her eyes looked and worn, even after the first fight. Tracing her face, which he has been doing for awhile unknowingly, he whispered, "I'm glad I met you, even though it was a sad one too."

"I'm glad I met you too…" she whispered in between breathes as he picked her up and flew to Capsule Corp.

Like both were worms and their hearts were apples, they had wormed into each other's.
