Let Love Be Your Energy............chapter 8

Last time:

"Yeah...but Trunks mustn't give up. The pain he must be feeling..."

"I know. But it's not like he can just walk up to her and tell her that he is her mate; and that must be so frustrating."

"Yeah. It's just a shame that this happened to them. I mean...couldn't it have been anyone else we don't know?"

"I don't know...I suppose it's just destiny."

~*~

After a strenuous training session with his Father for three hours, a proper meal and a good night's sleep, Trunks woke up refreshed for the day. As he lay in bed looking up at the ceiling, he remembered all of the events that had happened in the last 10 days.

The earthquake, Pan waking up not knowing who he was, knocking her out, finding out she had amnesia, seeing her gone from her hospital room, finding her with that male saiyan, coming back in tears that were unfit for his pride, telling his parents all and hearing their reactions, ignoring his family and running away from everyday duties, not eating or sleeping and then being told off by his mother, who told him to wake up and look at the bright side of things.

He would now.

Pan would come back to him: he just had to wait. He yearned her so much right now: how he wanted to hold her, to kiss her, to make love to her. But he couldn't.

But if she were to remember him, it would be better if Leonardo was out of the picture. She wouldn't then go and find someone new straight away: he knew her personality well enough. She was bonded to him, and the pain he felt inside was like no other. It seemed like hunger to want to hold her.

He had made a decision. He would go and see Leonardo and talk to him. Leonardo would have to obey him. He was the Prince after all, and one day he would be King. He was going to find out about Leonardo and convince him to let Pan go. Then she would be alone and hopefully remember him. She had already been to Chi-Chi's and she had been told that her Mother was on a purging mission.

Trunks wasn't going to tell anyone about his plan just in case.

Trunks got up and showered happy, though somewhat miserably. Pan used to share his showers with him.and he hoped that time would return.

He got dressed into full spandex, grabbed three juicy, red apples from the kitchen fruit basket and flew out of the window. Proper food could wait.

Trunks had no idea where Leonardo lived though. He could check: he had access to any information that he needed. He had access to the secrets and private investigations, the CIA or M15 of Vegeta-sei. But he hadn't checked. His Mother went through the system every week, checking every nook and cranny. She would know he had checked up on Leonardo and she would demand why. With her knowledge, she would probably guess before he opened his mouth and uttered a word.

Trunks flew around for fun for a whole hour, flexing and stretching his amazing muscles. The hot sun scorched his back through the spandex from so high up, but he didn't care. It didn't even affect him! He then tried to concentrate on the ki's of all the saiyan's below.

"Okay...big fight in the west end of the Plaza...many people at the auction...training at the palace...Bra...Goten...Leonardo..."

Trunks had remembered his ki signature from the time in the street. He had kept it in his mind since then, as if he knew what he wanted to do. He was in very east of the Great City, a small area called Pegora which was famous for its history. Oracles used to inhabit Pegora. Thousands and thousands of years ago, saiyans flocked to have their futures read from the oracles: old saiyan women with magic talent that went for generations through ancestry. The oracles even used crystal balls and read palms.

It was all true, nothing fake. Their powers were very genuine. They knew all the secrets of every person on the planet and knew the affairs that went on in the palace and Royal Family. They could read minds. Even the King of the time went to the oracles to see if his son would survive from a deadly battle wound. They were women of many talents, all with pure hearts. None of the information that they learned was spoken to another soul.

Trunks landed in the main street of Pegora. It joined onto Main Street where he had seen Pan and Leonardo. Oracles didn't inhabit this area anymore. In fact, there wasn't a single Oracle left. There had been a mass burn of the Oracles by the Queen of the Seventh Era. Nobody was sure of the reason, even today. But they were now a memory.

Trunks continued down the street. Nobody was out.

~Good~ he thought, ~I don't want any commotion~

Trunks located the ki to a large house on the edge of the area. He was around the back. Surprise time.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Leonardo was basking in the sun when he was interrupted.

"Hot, isn't it."

Leonardo opened his eyes to see nothing but blue sky. He sat up, brushing his blond hair out of his eyes and he looked around. His green eyes settled on the Prince, who was sitting on the post of the fence. Trunks had his eyes on him; his arms folded like his Father. As Leonardo's house was on the edge of the City, behind Trunks was nothing but bare land. Brown dust and rocks for miles on end, creating an effect of brilliance on Trunks.

Leonardo paled a few shades. Prince Trunks was in his garden; his back yard! He wanted to punch him, but he couldn't. He knew that Trunks was one of the strongest on the planet and could easily destroy him. The urge was there, very strong for what he had done around a week ago: punched him and humiliated him. Well, he did have his mate. And she was the most beautiful creature on the planet: dark and mysterious and a body to die for.

Trunks eyed him, seeing his fear. He liked that: to be feared. Not by everybody and anybody: just by him, 'Leonardo'. He jumped off the post and walked to Leonardo. Leonardo's eyes were filled with fear and anticipation. Trunks stopped when he was a foot away from him. He crouched down, his arms still folded.

"Nothing personal, but you're a son of a bittch," said Trunks.

Leonardo answered with courage, "Don't bring my Mother into this."

Trunks smiled, "So he does have a tongue."

Leonardo held his eye contact and gulped, "What.what do you want?"

Trunks waved his finger from side to side, "Uh, Uh, Uh. That's no way to speak to a Prince."

Leonardo tensed, "Prince Trunks...Sir, what do you want with me?"

"Just to find out a few things. I want your full name, class, ancestry and date of birth."

Leonardo responded without delay, "Leonardo Anashii, second class, birthday 27th of the third month, Dakuwa; and ancestry of the Anashii line, which originated from the Kainayii."

Trunks smirked, "An ancestor of a famous Oracle family line. I'm impressed. But you're too old for my mate. My nineteen years is better than your twenty seven. I'm surprised you aren't mated yet. Nearly every saiyan is mated by twenty five."

Leonardo growled inwardly.

"Well, being a nineteen year old means that you aren't as mature as me," said Leonardo without fear. He had had enough of this charade.

Anger gripped Trunks, "I am mature. Being young doesn't mean you aren't mature. It has to do with your brain, education, social life.love life. I am as mature as a forty-year-old is. Or even a one hundred and seventy year old. Not wise maybe, but mature. Now why don't you just shut up before I squeeze your neck and crush it as if it was a fly?"

Leonardo drew in oxygen, "You can't have her back."

"And why not? She is my mate, mine! She doesn't belong to you and that is my bite mark on her, not yours."

"She came to me."

"And?"

"She's staying with me."

Trunks growled and stood up slowly. Within a blink of an eye, Trunks was holding Leonardo by the front of his spandex. Trunks was angry, Leonardo was scared.

"Listen and listen good," seethed Trunks, "she is mine. She came to you for circumstances I will not enlighten you with.and there's nothing I can do about it."

Leonardo smiled.

"But there's something I can do about you. I know that she thinks that you are her mate, that you are together and love one another. I'm gonna put a stop to it. You are going to break up with her. No questions why."

"And how will that help? When she came to me, I couldn't believe my luck. Here she was, Princess of Vegeta-sei, mated to the Prince and she was here wanting to love me. She was swearing her love for me and I accepted. Who wouldn't? Such a gorgeous girl with a body to die for."

Trunks gripped tightened, his eyes blazing with anger. But Leonardo carried on.

"I asked her: 'What about prince Trunks?'. She looked at me and asked me what about him. I said: 'You being with him.' She went on talking about the Earthquake and how she woke up at the palace. She said that it must have been because she had gone there for some reason and that Prince Trunks was a total jerk to try to control her and keep her from leaving. I think she hates you. What did you do to her? Cheat on her? She was rambling on about things I didn't understand. But, oh well! I have her. She loves me!"

Trunks threw Leonardo to the ground, electricity and sparks frazzling around him from his anger, "Don't push it. I am a Prince and you will do what I say! You will break up with her."

Leonardo laughed, "If I did, who would she blame?"

Trunks' face changed dramatically, the words piercing through his heart. Leonardo was right. If he did break up with her, who would Pan blame?

Him.

~She would put the blame on me~ thought Trunks ~and all because of what happened in Main Street. She knows that I have it in for Leonardo. And if Leonardo broke up with her, then she would be further away from me than now~

Leonardo saw the look on his face and smiled, "I have to go inside now. Pan's woken up from her nap. You know, I love the way she calls me Leo."

Trunks let him go, trying to keep his anger in check. What he had set out to do was a disaster and a failure. He growled in anger. He would have to rethink.

And with that, he flew back to his home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that night, Pan was walking back from Chi-Chi's. The night air was cool and the moon shone brightly in the sky. It was a gibbous moon, the one after the full moon. It would stay like that for around a year and then eventually in eight years time, there would be a full moon and heat would start.

As she trudged along, she didn't notice the loose brick on the floor. She slipped and hit herself with force on the floor, hitting her head. She swore in pain before an image unfolded before her eyes.

~*~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*~

Pan tried to move, but Trunks was too strong.

"Uh, uh, uh! Don't make it any worse than it already is," Trunks cooed. He leaned closer to her without her realising.

She finally made eye contact with him. It was then that she realised that he was quite close to her and was straddling her. She blushed and said:

"You just got lucky."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like en eternity. Pan saw calmness, courage and kindness behind his eyes, but thought that she must be seeing things. She broke the contact, but found that she couldn't resist. She looked back into his eyes. Trunks could see love and sadness in her eyes.

He leaned forwards slowly, ever so slowly, their eyes darting from eyes to lips. As Trunks got closer and closer, Pan felt her heart throb in need. She needed him, and quick. When he was two inches away, she lifted her head to meet his lips.

He hadn't expected her to go for him like that, but didn't resist one bit. He let go of her wrists and put his hands behind her head, tangling it in her raven hair. She wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him closer to her. They wrapped their tails together.

It was a deep, passionate kiss. Pan had never felt anything so exhilarating in her life and wasn't even thinking about what she was supposed to be doing: pretending to kiss him; not meaning it...but she meant it with all her heart.

Trunks thought that she tasted like sweet strawberries. He put his tongue on her lips and she let him devour her. They had a vicious battle with their tongues and Pan moaned in her throat. As he pulled away, she scraped her teeth over his lips and he proceeded down to her neck, planting kisses everywhere on it as she clutched onto his hair.

~*~*~*~*~FLASHFORWARD~*~*~*~*~

Her eyes flew open as the image faded away. Pain rushed into her head. It was like a splitting headache, the wound on her head burning although it was nearly gone. Her breath caught in her throat and then it ended.

Pan slowly turned her body over so that she was sitting on the deserted street looking at the sky.

What was that? What had she seen?

Trunks, Prince Trunks and her: kissing. Devouring each other and swapping saliva.

But why? Was this a joke? No. A joke didn't involve you seeing things.

She didn't understand. Was it the past? No way. She didn't remember kissing the Prince or ever being in the gravity room with him.

Then what was it. Future? That was preposterous. Maybe it was something her brain had pictured to relieve the pain of her fall.

Whatever the scene was, she was confused. Very confused. The Prince of all people to kiss! He was a jerk. Cute, but a jerk nonetheless. She couldn't believe what he had done to her and Leonardo on Main Street.

She got up and brushed off her knees. It was then when she realised how cold it was. She flared her ki to keep warm and quickly ran the rest of the way to Leonardo's.

She didn't wonder about the vision anymore. She just put it that her fall must have bumped her previous injury and somehow made a fake image. But deep down in her heart, she was mystified.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Trunks felt Pan flare her ki as he stepped out of the gravity room.

Pain bore into his heart....but there was nothing he could do about it...
