Let Love Be Your Energy..............chapter 6
Last time:
He tightened his fist and screamed out as his power erupted from within. Trunks powered up to SS2, only half the transformation he could fully do. The ground cracked and the saiyans fled backwards for safety.
"You.you whorre!" he yelled, his fury pushing him on. A whirlwind of power blared around him. He cast one last look at Pan's confused expression before flying up and away.
No saw the tears that erupted from his eyes,
No one knew what Pan was thinking,
No one felt Leonardo's relief
And no one heard the laugh of success..
~*~*~
Vegeta lifted his head up to look at the sky as he felt his son's power increase dramatically. Something had happened and Vegeta knew it was something bad.
"Do you feel it Dad?" asked Bra.
Vegeta looked to his daughter, his pride and joy. Exact replica of her Mother but with the mind to be a great leader.
"Yes. Something's happened..Trunks is coming this way."
"Do you think he found her?" asked Bra as she searched the sky for a sign of him.
"Yes.maybe."
A speck appeared in the sky, closing in on the palace at an alarming rate. The guards that were posted outside the gates and around the perimeter of the Palace looked up as Prince Trunks flew over them. His ki was high. Vegeta and Bra followed his trail as he flew above them and continued to his side of the palace. Pan wasn't with him.
Vegeta observed his son's movements. He was flying wildly, showing anger. His ki was fluctuating, sparks around him. The something bad had turned into something very bad.
Bra tapped on her Fathers shoulder and he turned around. The Elites he had sent to look for her were returning, Goten last. Pan wasn't with them either.
Goten sent the others away and turned to Vegeta and Bra. Bra came up to him and kissed him on the cheek. He pulled her close and spoke to Vegeta.
"Trunks called the search off just after his ki erupted. He told us to return immediately. Do you know why?" he asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine," said Vegeta.
Goten nodded and flew off to the Palace, Bra in tow.
Vegeta looked up to the palace folding his arms.
::Bulma:: he mentally called to his mate who answered.
::I felt his ki Vegeta::
::He called off the search. No one has returned with Pan::
::I need to test her:: thought Bulma to him.
::Find Trunks. His ki is fluctuating like mad. He's obviously angry. Something tells me that a sight that displeased him most greeted him just now::
::Meet me there, Vegeta::
::I will onna:: he though, closing the link.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trunks burst through the open French doors to his room and landed on the floor. In fact, it was their room. His and Pan's. How painful that sounded now. He wiped the tears that had fallen from his eyes away from his face. He had more pride than that, much more. Nothing can take away a saiyan's pride, but it could be damaged. And he knew that from his Father. He used all his might and slipped out of Super Saiyan 2 to his normal form.
Why hadn't he beaten the hell out of that guy? Because she was there. She had gone to his aid and somehow he knew that if he hurt him, he would hurt her. It was a horrible thought and make fury surge through his veins, increasing the palpitations of his heart.
Trunks strode to the mirror and looked at the reflection of him. After everything that had happened, he felt disgusted at the sight before him. His cheeks were red along with his eyes. The crying had taken its toll and he was still angry. Growling in frustration, he strode to the bathroom turning on the tap. He pulled of his gloves, tossing them carelessly over his shoulder. He put his hands in the refreshing cold water and splashed it onto his face. The ice water immediately banished the redness from his face. He turned off the tap and wiped his face with a towel.
He walked back into the room and flopped onto the bed. He couldn't stay in here. He got up and opened the door. He flung it open actually and it crashed against its hinges. He entered the main room, which was a living room, kitchen and workstation in one and flopped down onto the big sofa, made from 100% pure Vegeta-sei leather. He slumped into the chair, his ki still pulsating up and down. He was angry and felt like powering up again.but that wouldn't help. He knew his Mother was on her way here.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bulma rushed up the stairs. She knew he was hurt and in pain. She was a mother and they knew best.
She opened the big doors and entered her son's chambers.
"Trunks!" she called as she walked into the main room. She spotted him on the couch, his eyes fixated ahead of him.
Bulma sat down next to him and put her hand on his shoulder. He tensed, not wanting to be touched. His expression made her wonder if genetics ruled over all of him. He was exactly like Vegeta, or like Vegeta had been. His muscles tense, not wanting to be touched. His fingers on his legs, squeezing. His mouth held in a frown, his jaw set firmly shut. But his eyes showed all.just like Vegeta.
His cerulean eyes showed all of his emotion: a small organ in the head showed the world all about himself and his sentiments.
"Trunks.calm down, please," she said comfortably.
Trunks turned his head and stared at her, his eyebrows slanting. The gaze he held was piercing through Bulma, "How can I?"
"Tell me. Tell me what happened.so that I can help."
Trunks ran his fingers through his lavender hair.
"It won't make a difference." he whispered.
"Whatever happens, Pan has to come back here for tests."
Trunks flinched at the mention of her name, his ki fluctuating. Bulma had done it deliberately.
"Tell her, son," said Vegeta. Trunks looked up to see his Father leaning against a wall, staring at him intently. He would have to tell them.he had no choice.
Trunks leaned back on the chair and looked to his legs avoiding all the eye contact.
"I.I was looking for her. I was flying over the main street. It was busy, saiyans everywhere with their brothers, sisters, children.mates. I.saw her. But not how I wanted to. She was with someone else.another man. I landed: they were getting closer and closer to each other. Saiyans were staring, talking! Talking about what she was doing! But I didn't care about them: that male had no right touching what is mine! They.
~*~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*~
Leonardo hadn't noticed the scene, he was busy looking into Pan's eyes. She was incredibly beautiful, and he would have her body one way or the other. She put her hands around his neck and he planted his lips on hers. She responded to his kiss with her tongue, parting his mouth so that they could devour each other fully.
Trunks' blood boiled faster and hotter, a vein popping out of his head, threatening to burst. He was right behind them now, his breaths coming out in growls. But they didn't hear them. Trunks knew she was kissing him back, and it made him feel sick. Was the man holding her making her?
Before anyone blinked, Pan had been pulled off Leonardo and Trunks had struck Leonardo with his knee in his stomach. Pan gasped as Leonardo groaned in pain, saliva spraying from his mouth. She looked up and saw Prince Trunks there.
Trunks lifted Leonardo up by the neck and Leonardo looked into the Prince's eyes.
"Why are you touching her?" Trunks hissed, but it was enough for Pan to understand. Leonardo was thrown to the floor and Pan ran up to him, cradling his head in her lap.
She looked up at Trunks venomously, "What have you done?!"
Trunks stared into her eyes, showing none of his emotions. She was angry.and she was worried. For who? For the bastard on the floor. Pan looked down to Leonardo, caressing his face. He stood up, bringing Pan with him. She grabbed his hand.
Trunks began to breathe faster and harder. His ki was beginning to jump up and down, his fury and sentiments pushing him further and further to breaking point.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" asked Pan. She was referring to earlier, when he had knocked her out. She leant back into Leonardo, who wrapped his tail around her.
That was it. She was his mate. His tail should be there. Amnesia or not, she shouldn't be playing around like a woman who is desperate for love. As soon as she forgets him, she's with someone else! This was no delusion.
~*~*~*~*~FLASHFORWARD~*~*~*~*~
..I called her a whorre. Then I left. The confusion on her face.but that's no excuse to be kissing another man, acting like a love-crazed teenager. She forgot about me.and went for someone else. Do you know how much that hurts? Inside.just here in the heart. It aches."
Bulma sighed once she had heard the events. She felt truly sorry for her own son.and angry at what Pan had done. But Pan had forgotten who he was.and she wasn't the type of person to just go out and kiss another man. Maybe there was a reason. Bulma thought about it.
~Maybe~
Bulma squeezed her son reassuringly on the shoulder.
"Try not to think about it Trunks. I know it's hard, but you must try for your sake. Remember, she will recall all the information she's lost. Just try to reminisce on the good times for now. I'm gonna send Vegeta out to find her and get her. I have a hunch."
Trunks stared up at his Mum, "Thanks."
Bulma stood up and left. Vegeta stole one glance at his son before following his mate.
Once outside, Bulma wrapped her arms around Vegeta and buried her head onto his chest.
"Poor Trunks..why does our son have to go through this? He was crying when he first got here..he tried to hide it but I have my Mother's instincts."
"What is your hunch?"
Bulma looked up at her mate, "That she has amnesia of a specified epoch."
"What does that mean?"
::Bring her in and I'll find out::
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pan let the fresh air take her as she walked along the back of Leonardo's house. He lived on the outskirts of the plains which slowly turned to desert. She didn't remember feeling so alive in years.
For being so alive, she didn't notice the figure behind her as it knocked her out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bulma glanced up as she heard the noise of someone landing on the hard floor. Vegeta had returned..with Pan. She was unconscious and Bulma could fix that.
Vegeta out Pan down on the table and Bulma put a small tub filled with smelling salts under her nose. Pan woke immediately and looked around at her surroundings. It was a blur and then she saw the King and the Queen. She was speechless. She had to show proper respect. Their son had been a jerk to her and she could always tell them what he had done to the daughter of an Elite.
"I need to run some tests Pan," said Bulma.
"How do you know my name? Is it from when my Dad was in the Elites?" she asked.
"Half yes..half no..maybe."
What kind of answer was that?
"Why do you need to run tests?"
"You were hurt in the Earthquake," said Bulma.
"But any doctor can check me, not you," said Pan.
Vegeta turned her to face him.
"She is checking you Son Pan. The Queen is checking you..now show some respect and let her get on with it."
Pan shut up before speaking again.
"I've already been treated here before. But why was I here? I don't remember coming here. People are telling me that there was an earthquake and I don't recall it. But I've seen the cracks in Great City. Your son, Prince Trunks," she said, mocking the word 'Prince', "restricted me from going earlier on. I have my rights to go. He wasn't ordering me. And then he comes later on while I'm in town calling me a person who stands on the street corners."
Bulma sighed. The tests were going to be hard.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trunks was awoken by the sound of his Mother entering. He rubbed his eyes and looked upon his mother.
"We've run the tests. I've let her go. I found out everything. My guess was right."
"What guess?"
"Pan has what we call amnesia of a specified epoch. Some amnesia is when the inflicted remembers personal details but nothing else. Pan knows other things.and I know why. Amnesia of a specified epoch means she remembers up to a certain age. In her case, she remembers only up to her Fourteenth birthday. We asked her age. She thinks she's fourteen. The reason she was with 'Leonardo' was because of what she remembers in that age. When she was fourteen, Leonardo was her boyfriend. That was why she was with him and kissing him: because that is all she remembers up to. She loves him..she thinks she is mated to him. She thinks your bite mark..is his."
Trunks mind failed to register the information that had been told to him. His mouth opened and closed, trying to fathom the words he wanted to say. His heart was in pain.
"Does that mean I have to leave her with him?" he asked.
"Yes. You can't do anything. If it was different, we could have told her snippets of information. But it's as if she had a normal life at the moment. All you can do is wait. Wait until she remembers enough."
"But won't it be better if she's near me?"
"It doesn't matter."
Trunks' heart felt the realisation fall into place. His bite mark had been taken by another..and waiting was difficult in these circumstances..
