Chapter 6

"This was it? Is this how all those poor people felt when they knew death awaited them by my hands?" He wasn't ready to leave. Not yet.

"Please Kami no."

"Did you say something?"

Vegeta opened his eyes and looked up to see Pan, his Pan; her long black hair was round her ankles. It was comical how her fringe was covering her vision. She huffed in an attempt to move it, and failed. She giggled and ran outside. Vegeta just sat there and became very confused as she skipped over to him with a senzu bean. She held him and placed it in his mouth. He swallowed it and felt his gut pain ease off and eventually vanish. He licked his lips to remove the blood from them. Once he was fully healed he looked to see Pan stood in front of him, eyes covered with her long hair.

"So, where are you?" Pan reached out forwards like Frankenstein and Vegeta took her in his embrace. He held her tightly and cried into her neck.

"I am here. I am not going anywhere and I am so proud of you. Was that SS5?"

"Yep, I guess so."

"You will have to teach me immediately tomorrow."

"Erm." She remembered that she wasn't going to be here after tomorrow and her face fell. "I have to go home."

"But, it is still morning. I thought we were going to have an all day sparing session. Are you not feeling well?"

"No I am feeling a bit faint actually." She fake swooned forward and Vegeta caught her. Before she knew what was going on, Vegeta had her laid out on the couch and he was on the phone.

"Gohan? Pan is not very well. She needs rest. I have just witnessed the rise of a SS5. Yes that's right. No I am not, what? No I, SHUT UP!"

Vegeta slammed the phone down and sat beside Pan. "I can't believe how strong you are. When you are better, we will train every day. Like we used to. Tell me. When we stopped training, you were barely close to SS. How did you pull off SS5?"

"We stopped training because my mom said so. But, she didn't say I had to stop training."

"Sneaky little vixen, how are you feeling?"

"A little weak." (Lie number one.) "I couldn't handle that strength very well." (lie number two.)

"Well, when I am at your level, which won't take very long, we will both learn to control it. Together like old times."

"Yeah...old times." They smiled in silence and Vegeta, once again, saw sorrow in her eyes. This time he would not be silent.

"What's wrong? You are hiding something from me aren't you?"

"What?"

"I can see it in your eyes, which is strange in itself. You are sad and angry at yourself over something and it has happened twice since you came here. What is wrong? It seems when ever I talk of us doing something together, you tense up and feel sadness. Why?"

"I am fine, I am tired but fine. I just...don't want to disappoint you. That's all."

"I am proud of you. More than you know. Nothing you could do would ever make me anything but proud of you."

"Really?"

"Yes, now tell me what you think I wouldn't approve of. It is obvious from what I just said and your reaction that it has something to do with needing approval."

"It's nothing. I need to get home, I am really tired."

"Say no more. I will fly you home. We will talk more of this tomorrow."

No we won't...

Vegeta picked her up and flew her home. He passed her parents. Gohan was chuffed to pieces like Vegeta that she had attained such a powerful transformation, but Videl was another story. She was furious that Pan had gone against her wishes and intended to punish her for it tomorrow.

Vegeta walked straight into her room and placed her on her bed. She actually was exhausted now and almost fell to sleep in Vegeta's arms. He laid her down and kissed her on her forehead as she began to doze off. Vegeta left without a word and after she was sure that her family would have left the house for either work, driving there or bragging about her newest transformation, she got to her feet and set her alarm for 5:00am. She held it as she slept so it would wake only her and not her parents.

Tomorrow is the day. I leave this life of boredom and normality for a life of adventure and fun. It will be fun as I will be fit enough to run circles around their best men. Ha. I can't wait. I won't regret one moment of it. No, I will. I will miss Vegeta, my PV. I will never get to tell him that PV means...Papa Vegeta. He wouldn't like it anyway. I will miss him. I love my parents, but I will not miss them. I wonder what it will be like. Will it be hard work? What am I saying; the hardest thing for me will be obeying orders at all times. I will have to though. This is my last chance at life and I will not let it slip through my hands. Tomorrow is the day.

Pan Son, welcome to the Royal Reunited Army...
