Chapter 4

a/n: Sorry it's taken a while to update, I'll be honest and just admit to being lazy. So, where to go from here…

Deep in the woods, several miles away from Satan city an intense training session was taking place. Two fighters, a teacher and a student were locked in combat. His flame styled hair was glowing with power, his muscles were compact and the colour of his eyes flashed bright green. His student, the young Pan was sprawled across the dirt, scratches across her face and arms, several open wounds on her back but she was not yet out of the fight.

"Cheater!" She screamed with rage and she gathered what little strength she had left and vanished into the air, travelling at such speed she managed to catch her tutor off guard and she punched him in the gut then got above him and hammered down on his back with both her hands. Vegeta began falling to the ground but managed to push enough power against himself and stopped in mid air, he spun around to face Pan, wiping the droplets of sweat off his forehead.

"I'm simply showing you what you could be up against if you were to be a protector of the Earth, you should learn to control your anger, harness you rage and use it…" Vegeta pointed out, his arms folded across his chess. Pan laughed.

"Point taken!" She smirked and flew closer to Vegeta, her body hovered in front of his, almost touching his body, her nose only inches from him, she could smell his sweat and it excited her but she knew she had to concentrate better.

"What…what are you doing?" Vegeta trembled; it was hard to focus when she was so close. She looked every part of a Saiyan, her hair, her armour, even the wounds he had inflicted upon her added to her attraction.

"Harnessing my emotions…" Pan mumbled, leaning closer to Vegeta, her nose resting upon his. He flinched slightly but the rest of his body refused to budge. She opened her mouth and she could feel his hot breath on her neck. In one swift movement Pan gave him a mighty punch in the chest, then turned and her elbow knocked his chin and as she was about to kick him Vegeta grabbed her leg and roared with concentrated rage and threw her down to the forest floor. Her arms and legs were limp, she was completely knocked out from the force at which Vegeta had thrown her, and she couldn't summon even the slightest amount of power to ease her fall. Vegeta watched, he was not going to help her, she was a Saiyan and with every failure a Saiyan was forced to endure, the more powerful they would become after. She would recover from this fight within a couple of days, still, as he watched her small body make contact with the dusty forest floor his heart sank in his chest, he didn't really want to hurt her even though he knew he must.

"Pan!" Goten screamed as the young Saiyan flew past Vegeta and dived down to where his niece had landed. Vegeta, though surprised that Goten showed up he was angered, he had hoped to spend some more time alone with the young girl, who was now becoming not just a young, beautiful woman but also an admirable warrior. Vegeta gave in and headed down to the forest to join Goten. Pan was starting to regain some strength and opened her eyes. Goten fiddled around with some items in his pockets and found what he was looking for, a sensu bean. He popped it into Pan's mouth than sat back to give her some room.

"How is she?" Vegeta stepped forward.

"What the fuck did you think you were doing Vegeta? Training Pan? Killing her?" Goten lunged at the older Saiyan male, his hair began to glow yellow and he punched the prince in the face. Vegeta was knocked backwards but refused to fight back; there was no point in fighting the young boy who was not only far inferior to him but also blinded by idiotic rage. Goten leapt forward again but Vegeta pushed him back with his hands, firm against the younger male's chest.

"Take it easy kid, you don't want to fight me" his eyes focused on Goten's, "she's already healed from the sensu bean, see?" He turned around and pointed to the young girl who was now standing tall and brushing some dirt off her shoulder. Pan smiled sweetly at her uncle.

"Goten, hey, don't worry, I'm fine now! Just a little bit of sparring, what's wrong with that?" She beamed, scratching her head thoughtfully.

"The fact you're training with Vegeta…" Goten replied hatefully. Ever since Pan's birthday he had definitely noticed that Vegeta was starting to act weird around her but he didn't suspect anything else. He wasn't sure if he really ever trusted Vegeta's motives, even though his father did.

"It's my choice. I didn't ask you to come to my rescue! You think you can always save the day because you're a super Saiyan, well guess what? You're wrong!" Pan crossed her hands over each other and stretched them out, aiming at her uncle.

"Pan, no!" Vegeta yelled but she was angry, she was glowing a light shade of pink which was definitely a bad omen, "Goten get out of here! She can't control her deeper powers the way you and…" He couldn't finish, Pan's attack was about to be released.

"Pink Solar Cannon!" Pan screamed and a large energy ray shot from her hands and headed towards Goten. Goten steadied his legs and folded his arms tightly across his chest in preparation to block her blast and as it hit he felt his super Saiyan strength ebb away, it was like something was soaking up his power and as they pink ray subdued he collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Pan smiled, impressed with her newly discovered attack, the solar cannon was a neat trick she had taught herself, it was effective to temporarily reverse the power level of an opponent. Vegeta was stunned, he had never seen an attack like that before, her power level was not great but her skills of using the power she had were amazing and unique. Goten stood up slowly, his eyes not leaving the sight of his beloved niece.

"How'd you do that?" He mumbled, his energy was coming back to him but his muscles were sore.

"That's my business, but I've learnt a lot since Vegeta started training me. You guy's never even bothered to take my powers seriously and here I am, having already brought you to your knees as a super Saiyan!" She smiled proudly and she looked over at her teacher, Vegeta was also smiling approvingly and her heart leapt, she had impressed him.

"Then I guess you better get on with it…I won't tell…"Goten sighed.

"If you won't tell anyone about my training then I won't tell anyone about you and Bra!" Pan promised, she had known about her uncles little secret for a while now but it wasn't really her business to disrupt Bra's social life, Pan thought they made a good pair. Vegeta had known for about a week but he was glad that at least if Bra ever mated with Goten they would have strong Saiyan children so he too remained silent guessing Bulma would definitely disapprove.

"But…Vegeta knows!" Goten exclaimed.

"That's right but don't tell anyone else that" Vegeta replied. Goten shook his head in disbelief and then took off into the air and headed towards home. Pan smiled sheepishly at Vegeta, "I can control my deeper powers you know…"

Vegeta walked over to her, she was becoming most desirable, still glowing pink from her raised power level, and she could almost pass as a super Saiyan and it seemed she was feeling the same way. He stood in front of her, his chest was heaving greatly as his heart pounded at an astounding pace, he was finding it hard to breathe and though he tried, Bulma was not on his mind though he felt quite aroused.

"Pan" Vegeta whispered and leaned forward, his lips met hers and then it was over, a connection was born, a seal was set and she responded to his tender touch with her own young lips. Her heart leapt, her body trembled and her skin was steaming hot.

"I though this…this could never happen" Pan muttered between kisses. Vegeta pulled away and looked at her.

"So did I" he growled and pulled her into his arms.
