"Talking"
'Thinking'
Last Time on Lavender Prayers:
"Well, I want to thank you for taking care of my Marron," Trunks answered showing her a smile he rarely used.
"Anytime…" Again she walked off when a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Will you…be my friend?"
Chapter 4: One and Only Truth: I'm the Real One
"B-be your f-friend?" Pan stuttered. 'I was always your friend.'
"Yeah...what do you say?" Trunks answered while one of his hand snuck up to scratch the back of his head Son style.
"I-I was always your friend," it was a whisper he couldn't hear it at all! (A/n: Remember there is no such things as Saiyan-jins.)
"Nani?"
"Oh...yeah, sure...I'd be glad to be your friend!" Pan yelled happily forcing out a smile. 'Just friends?' A heavy pain developed in Pan's chest. 'What's happening to me?'
"Alrighty then, I need to go check on Marron, see you later, Ja ne!" Trunks ran to where he left Marron. Pan walked actually ran the opposite direction got on her blue bike and rode to her apartment. 'What's this pain? Why am I feeling this way? Am I going to die? If yes, I hope soon... Why did I let Marron have my identity?'
(A/n: I don't own this song either!)
Love...So this is what it's like,
Right in front of your eyes and yet you see it not.
In the past, you sought it in the four corners of the world,
But always return empty handed.
It took but one second for you to invade my heart.
'NO! I'm not in love with my best friend! No...he's just a friend, not a 'best'. Was he really the one that I was looking for? What is this momentum in my heart? Was that the only moment that I'll have with him forever? What are all these questions? Why am I asking myself anyway? Please! Go away!'
How can I describe my feeling at that moment?
If you only understood my past longing,
Having come this long distance and you are still by my side,
Like a ray of morning light.
'He's not the ray of my morning light! Never! He's in love with my friend! I should just take the fact! What is wrong with me!' Pan finally reached her apartment and ran into her room. Kenji -living in the same apartment too- rushed to Kim -Pan- to see what happend. He put his hand on the handle twists it but it was locked.
"Kim! Open the door this moment! Right now!" Kenji yelled pounding on her door.
"Go away! I don't need you right now! You'll only bring more pa- nothing!" Pan didn't want to worry her best friend again. Wait. This IS her best friend. Not Trunks. Trunks. She likes that name but at the same time it brought pain. Pan stood up and opened the door for Kenji. She had a tear-stained face and was showing it to Kenji too. Uh-oh...
"Kim!" He yelled, then when he saw Pan's face he started to talk in a softer voice. "Are you okay? Gomen nasai Kim."
"It's okay Kenji, arigatou."
"For what?" Kenji raised an eyebrow confused. Pan nod her head low and closed her eyes.
"Everything."
"Kim I'm not sure you're okay. What about this, I come in and cheer you up?" A smile was brought to shine on Pan's face.
"Sure." Kenji went in and walked down to the couch.
"Ladies first." He gesture a hand to the couch.
"Kenji you don't have to be so formal. Go ahead and sit, I'll sit on the ground." Pan said sarcastically. Pan began to sit on the ground but before she was met with the ground, Kenji came over and picked her up and set her on the couch.
"That's a nice girl," and he sat next to her hanging an arm around her shoulders. "So what's wrong?" Pan's smile disappeared. She closed her eyes. Her lips opened to speak but nothing came out.
"It's not okay if you don't explain. You know I really care about you...Kim I...I think I'm starting to fall in love slowly with you. And trust me I know you want to be loved. Maybe by someone like me?" Pan's head shot in Kenji's direction and she stared at Kenji.
How did you know I was still waiting for love?
When all others thought I desired solitude,
You knocked on my door and brought light to my life.
You're the exultation in my heart.
I used to hope beyond hope,
To have a companion to share my innermost thoughts.
But I only met the oceans and loneliness followed my wanderings.
Having come this long distance your are still by my side,
like the ray of the morning light.
Before Pan knew what Kenji was doing, Kenji captured her lips in his and gently kissing her. 'Oh Kami! My first kiss! What do I do!' Pan just sat immobile. What could she do when she knew nothing in the school of kissing? She never thought that her best friend was going to have her first kiss. 'Hey wait. Friends don't kiss do they?' After what seem to Pan like hours Kenji broked the kiss and stared into the chocolate pools of Pan's orbs. He did not find the lust he was looking for. All he found was loneliness and... loneliness. No one could really discribed what he saw. It was true what he saw was loneliness and loneliness a hundred times harder. Pan stared in his eyes finding love and lust. She didn't want to break her friends heart but she always saw him as a brother nothing else. Kenji stood up and got ready to leave.
"You can answer me later," Kenji said with a smile. He started to walk to the door. When he was about to open the door, when he heard his angel's -or that was what his thought- melodic voice.
"Kenji... I want t-to answer y-you now." Pan looked down on her lap tears forming at the two corners of her eyes.
"And what would that be my angel?" Pan looked up. 'My angel? Sorry Kenji but...'
"I'm not your angel! Please you're making this hard for me! Stop this nonsense! I love you too!" A smile found it's way on Kenji's lips. "But... I only love you as my brother...Kenji, I'm sorry..." (A/n: Scared ya, I know I did!)
"I guess you don't love me the same way, but, Kim I'll wait until the day you'll finally like me." Kenji walked out with a sad expression. 'She doesn't like well love me. I was so dumb.'
'Maybe I need to get away from here. Yeah...I'm going on vacation...Where to? ...Yan City...'
/Later that night/
Pan's phone was ringing. Pan ran to the phone, eager to see who was calling.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kim, it's me Kenji."
"Hey. What's up?"
"Nothing, are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, much better." It was silent for a while. "Kenji?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going on vacation to my home town, Yan City."
"Okay, I could drop you off, when?"
"No, it's okay I'll just go by myself! I'm a big girl now. I'll be gone for like, say one week at the latest."
"Okay, I'll take you tomorrow, no comments. Like at, um, when are you leaving?"
"I told you Kenji, I'll just go on my own, nothing is going to happen. Anyways bye." Pan then hung up. Her best friend lover. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on her couch that night.
In the morning Pan woke up and rushed to get things packed. She ran to the airport not caring to ride her bike.
She made it in time not talking to anyone on the way. Even when she bumped into someone that looked like Vegeta she didn't bother saying sorry, she just went straight ahead. She made it to her plane in time. 'Great, just great, a three hour trip, how fun is that?' She found her seat and sat down. She got caught up on her slumber and fell asleep again.
"Pan? Pan is that you?"
"W-who's there?"
"Pan it's me Trunks."
"Trunks? Where are you?" Trunks...How was he here? The last time she remembered she was on the plane boarding to Yan City.
"Pan, we'll never be apart again."
"Say that again?"
"We'll never part again I'll be with you forever."
The scene changed and she saw Trunks in a bed in the hospital...
"Trunks? Are you okay?"
"Sorry Miss, do I know you?"
"It's me Pan!"
"I'm sorry Miss, but that name is not familiar." Maybe this wasn't Trunks. Pan looked again, it was Trunks. She passed out cold on the marble floor, as Pan heard him calling her.
"Miss, wake up, miss..."
"Miss will you wake up? We have just landed. Miss?" Pan's eyes flutter opened.
"W-what?"
"We've just landed, Miss."
"Oh, thank you." Pan slowly got out of the plane and went to grab her things, which wasn't much just a suit case. She waited at the bus stop and waited for a bus. When the bus arrived she went and sat at the end in the right corner. Yan City was so pretty. It shined like gold everyday. It had the bluish sky ever not to mention it's pretty green hills. The hills were a deep bright green which made it look like the place she'd only discover in her dreams. If she were to name this city she would probably name it Dreamworld. Pan got out of the bus and off to the nearest motel which was like one block away. And then three blocks from there was the Yan City Capsule Corps. Or what it's called the easy way YCCC, or Y Triple C. She was going to go there she knew she was.
An hour later she was ready and determined to walk into YCCC and not cry at all. She was at the parking lot when she felt like someone was stalking her. She hid behind a wall and the figure spoke.
"Videl was that you? Tell me, is that really you? Come out and tell me! Do you think hiding will always win?" Pan reconize the voice.
"V-Vegeta?" Pan stepped out from the wall.
"Kim? What are you doing here?"
"I-I came here for vacation and I happen to stop here for a visit since I miss this place so- oh forget I said anything!" 'Please don't notice, Please don't notice, PLEASE DON'T NOTICE!'
"You miss this place? Have you ever been here before? Speak Woman!"
"Ah, well, when Pan er Marron explains her stories to me it feels like I was there that's all." Wow, how many more excuses does she still have to make?
"Do you want me to show you around?"
"Sure!" Vegeta showed her everywhere even though she knew what they were used for and where they were.
"This is the room where we'd come and dance and celebrate. Trunks and Pan loved to dance in here all the time and-" Vegeta stopped. It looked like Pan wasn't listening at all. Pan looked at everything in awe. She haven't been here for ages and nothing has changed. Nothing. "Kim?" Pan was still looking everywhere not hearing her name being called. "Kim?"
"Oh sorry. What is it?"
"Where are you staying?"
"Oh, in a motel three blocks from here."
"You could stay in Pan's old dorm, what do you say?" Pan's eyes glittered.
"I'd love too!" She shrieked. Uh-oh not good! 'I should watch my attitude! If one whold sentence comes out I'm dead!' Vegeta 'showed' Pan to 'Pan's' dorm. Vegeta opened the door and she smelt her scent of when she was a child.
"Pan use to sleep in here, I hope you enjoy your stay. I'll have my men go get your things at the motel."
"Arigatou." That night was one of the greatest nights she ever slept.
/The Next Morning/
"Kim I want you to come with me to a place very special to me and Pan." Vegeta asked. Pan wondered, 'What place could it be?' As they soon approached Pan notice it was a grave. Her mother's grave.
"Videl, I approach you again today. I wanted to tell you that I have found your daughter. You were right I should of send her to Gohan, but I didn't. I took her home with me, and my wife didn't accept so I took her to the orphanage, she probably hates me, but I hope she will forgive me. Your daughter has grown into a very beautiful woman." Silent tears fell down Pan's face as Vegeta said these words to her mother wishing that it was her he was talking about. Vegeta turned to face Pan.
"You're not telling the truth," Vegeta stared at the teenager in front of him. "I always have this feeling that you're lying. Even if you don't tell me I know, trust me I know. I'm revealing the secret."
"N-nani?" Pan thought but somehow the words escaped from her lips. "What do you mean?"
"Well Pan, I must admit, I can't keep this in my heart and I promise I will tell when we get back." Pan's eyes widened in fear.
"N-no! You can't, because if you did, I was part of it too. I let Marron lie, please, don't tell...if not for me, then for my mother." Vegeta stared blinkly at Videl's daughter thinking, 'Is this really Pan? Yes...Pan would do anything to keep her friends safe.'
"So you are Pan. Alright, I won't tell, but one day the real answer is going to appear, are you ready to take the challenge?" Vegeta ask staring deeply in those chocolate orbs.
"Yes, I'm ready for whatever is in my way." Pan answered hitting herself mentally. 'Of course, I'm ready and not ready at the same time...How?'
Vegeta and Pan were at the staring game for awhile. 'This is really Videl's daughter. Videl you have a daughter with the same high spirit like you. I hope you can hear my words.'
/While in Satan City/
"Hey Kenji, where's Kim?" Marron asked impatiently while Kenji was working on one of his newest capsules.
"She went to Yan City, she didn't tell you?" Marron's eyes widened in fear. 'Vegeta was there too, if she went there she would tell Vegeta the truth. Oh I'm in for it now.'
"That bitch going and not telling me! I hate her!" Marron yelled while her hands were in the air fustrated.
"Wo-wo-wo! Didn't she give you the necklace in the first place? Now you're saying that you hate her! My, you're the bitch!" Kenji argued back not for Pan but for his love for her, even if she didn't except. Marron glared at Kenji and ran out. Kenji sighed, Marron and Pan were going to become enemies or other than that rivals.
After awhile on working on his capsule he went out for some fresh air. Before he saw what was coming a lot of wood board were falling his direction. He fell to the ground obviously and yelled out in pain. Before his world was a black out he saw blonde pigtails. 'Marron...How dare you?' Then his world blacked out...
/One week later.../
Trunks and Marron were waiting patiently for Vegeta.
"Ship from Yan City boarding." Trunks and Marron looked at the camera seeing Vegeta and 'Kim' walking together coming near Trunks and Marron. Pan was doing some hand gestures probably meaning stuff about the capsules.
"Chichi-ue!" Vegeta was met with Trunks and Marron. He just nod his head. 'Otou-san has been acting weird lately...' Trunks thought. Marron's evil eyes showed hatred for Pan, but she ignored it. Pan looked around.
"Seems like Kenji's not here yet, I better give him a call."
"We could take you home." Offered Trunks. Marron gave Pan another death glare, if glares could kill Marron would be dead by now! Meaning that Pan could always reflect the glare back to Marron mentally! Neat!
"It's okay, I guess he just forgot!"
"So how was Yan City?" Trunks asked again, making Marron more furious.
"Great."
"I guess Marron gave you all the details?" Trunks asked looking over to Marron. Pan just smiled. "Hmm...next summer maybe Chichi-ue, you, and I could go together!"
"What about Marron?" Vegeta asked Trunks raising an eyebrow.
"She rarely talks about Yan City and she doesn't seem to be interested in capsules." Trunks looked over to Marron, Marron shot him a smile. Pan entered the numbers on her cell phone.
"Hello Bra! Well where's Kenji? What! Okay, I'll be right over! Ja ne!"
"What's wrong?" Trunks asking the most because Vegeta's odd attitude he won't ask questions and Marron hating Pan was of course not going to ask.
"Kenji's in the hospital, he has a broken leg or something, I gotta go!" Pan started to run.
"Trunks will take you!" Vegeta's voice boomed. Pan stopped dead in her tracks.
"What?"
"I'll take you, Marron, you come home with Chichi-ue okay?" Trunks asked.
"Trunks..." Marron whined.
"I'll take Marron home." Finally Vegeta was talking.
"Arigatou Chichi-ue." Trunks took Pan's bag and they both went to his car. When Vegeta sure they were gone, he started...
"You're not telling the truth," Vegeta stared at the teenager in front of him. "I always have this feeling that you're lying. Even if you don't tell me I know, trust me I know."
"What do you m-mean?" Marron stuttered.
"You are fake." Marron nearly fainted. 'Stupid Pan! She did tell him! Well what do you expect? Arg!'
"Vegeta please don't tell them! Please!" Marron begged always to get her way.
"You're lucky Pan won't let me tell so I won't, now get in the car."
/Hospital/
Pan reached the hospital and Trunks drove off. She went to the counter to ask what room Kenji was in. He was in room 214. Pan ran to the room not noticing how many people she bumped into. She opened the door quickly as tears quickly eased their way down her cheeks.
"K-Kim?...You're back!" Kenji said excitedly as he rose to stand up. Pan raced to him and pushed him so he still sat.
"Don't get up. Why didn't you inform me!" Pan yelled half mad and happy to see Kenji. "Gomen, I'm over reacting."
"Apology accepted, I missed you, you know," Pan couldn't look him in the eyes, after all that was done, she wasn't ready to face him, at least not yet.
/Briefs' Residence/
"Are you going to go see Kenji, Marron?" Vegeta asked.
"Oh I'm going tomorrow!" She sa- yelled smiling her 'I'm the winner' smile.
"So have you planned your engagement yet?" Bulma asked.
"W-we...hadn't really t-talked about that..." Marron stuttered hating the subject. 'What if Trunks doesn't like me? Ever worse, reject me.'
"Marron I want you to understand this...It's for life and when you cross the line...you can never go back." Vegeta more scoled then reply.
"We've made sure everything if fine," Marron answered forcing out a smile.
"Fine, it's just an engagement, at least you're not married, I'm off," and Vegeta left.
"Dear! How can you say that!" But Vegeta was already gone.
/Hospital/
"Oh Kim! I need to go check my capsules! I've updated them!" Kenji yelled as he was about to get up.
"I'll go check them for you, you go ahead and rest okay?" Pan got up and went to the little capsule house that Kenji owned.
"Hm...This goes here, and then this...uh...Good! They're ready to use!" Pan looked at all the other capsules and took her time on updating the newest capsules. In came a wild crazy Marron.
"Kim! You already have your capsule company why are you always stealing mine!" Marron yelled as she took in deep breaths.
"M-marron? What's wrong with you?" Pan asked.
"Of course! Trunks! You already have Kenji! Are you trying to take away Trunks from me! You told me that if I wanted love I could have him! But NO! You decided to tell his father your real identity!" Marron yelled as she threw Pan the looks that could kill...and would annoy a lot of people.
"Well, I didn't tell him Marron, he figured it out on his own," Pan answered as she gently put the capsule down and looked at Marron.
"Well, STAY BACK!" Marron yelled for the last time and ran off.
"What's got into Marron?"
A/n: Not such a cliff hanger this time but REVIEW! Well, what is wrong with Marron? Hm...find out!
Preview of Next Chapter:
"Umm, sorry to interrupt your fun but could you two get a room? You both are grossing me out!" No other voice than Ubuu's was heard. They both broke the kiss quickly, looked down, and blushed.
A/n: Who was kissing, who was kissing? WHO WAS KISSING? Hey, HeY, HEY!
