Chapter Eighteen
*The Next Day*
Bra smiled as a feeling of joyous excitement ran through her. "You’re smiling." Goten said as she walked outside seeing him there in a stance of some form. Concentrating it seemed, maybe he was meditating she thought, though she never knew him to do that.
"I feel like myself again, and Tousama will teach me how to control this new power. He said there is a legend about it." Bra said as she watched him, his arms sawing like slow punches but relaxing. Every movement he was making looked graceful but full of force and power.
"So my Bra-chan has a legend to live up to. And all this time we thought you were a waste for a Saiya-jin." Goten said snitching at her as his eyes glanced at her for a moment with her notice of it.
Bra caught the jester he was giving her, andshe would give in. Leaping in the air as he followed; the two clashed. Bra's eyes slanted with hunger of battle. Never taking her eyes of him, letting the wind factor let her know which movement he was about to inflict upon her.
Goten followed on her pursuit as he did the same, "Still too slow little one." he said almost hunting but playfully as he gave her a quick jab on the cheek. Bra lit up with raw excitement as she fought back feverishly now. Neither letting up.
"Now who is slow?" she asked after with- drawing a knee from his stomach, but before he could answer she swung down.
"You.." he barked back, catching her fist an then her leg. Pushing her completely underneath him as he flew down, slamming her hard into the ground.
"Nice move but you forgot about this leg." Bra said with her one leg on the out side underneath him. Bringing it up and slamming the heel down into his thigh, barely bruising his femur there. But enough pain to make him wiggle before her.
"Nice try, but I can take pain. Of course I will give it back with more force so watch your step, my little Bra-chan." he said, his voice so rough but with a slight purr at the end. His eyes casting a glance at her and moving down her before catching her eyes.
"Bring it on." Bra said, her breath seeping out harsh and hard. Goten leaned down and quickly claimed her lips. Kissing her with force as she bit down on his bottom lip. Such passion and free emotions running through both of them.
Bulma lay spent in her bed, not knowing how she got there but knew in her mind Vegeta took her up there. So many things were not making sense, but some were. And now she knew Vegeta would be forever hers, and that's all she needed to know.
Thoughts of getting up came to her but when she moved she felt weighted down and tired. Everything from the day taking a toll on her, the warmness of the bed taking her back to sleep before she knew it.
"Where is she?" Vegeta asked walking into Trunks old room where he thought to find Pan.
"She is with the little girl. Why?" Trunks asked.
"Because I have some information that she needs to know that could help us with Juunana-gou." Vegeta said flatly.
"Tousama, I have to know. Is she, yours an Pan's future child?" Trunks asked, casting his eyes at his Tousama. Looking him directly to read what every emotion he would let slip by.
"Yes, yes she is." Vegeta said, his standing becoming straight as he stood there, " but there is more to it than that." and with that he left.
Trunks was stunned, he had hoped on some rare fluke of hope his eyes had deceived him and what he heard early was nothing but a blur. Now he knows, maybe he knew all along. Though there was this nagging feeling telling him that there was more to this truth and that gave him hope he would make it through. That him and Pan would not be separated, no matter what came between them.
"I will fight to the very end to keep you at my side, my dear sweet Pan-chan." Trunks said now standing from the bed and going to find Pan and his Tousama to hear the rest of this story.
"Vegeta, what are you doing here?" Pan asked, looking at Vegeta as she sat on the floor with the child.
"Something you should hear." he stated, moving into the room as he took his normal stance. Keeping still a distance from her.
"Where is Trunks? He should hear this too." Pan said getting from the floor.
"I'm already here." Trunks said entering the room now. Pan sat back down as the child went to sit in her lap. Trunks just leaned against the wall as it hurt to see that.
"Well, first off. Our assumptions where correct, that is our child. Though from an alternative dimension in the future. Her world, earth, is under attack. We sent her back to keep her safe. She was born with the power of the dragon and has its power within her, of course she has not learned to control it." Vegeta said.
"Chibi-Vegeta said that when she was sent back, her oneesan was to be with her. She was in another ship with Goten in their world, but their ship never came." Pan said.
"So you have talked to her?" Vegeta asked. "Yes, of course. Though I did not know about the alternative universe. Then again, a lot of things she said did not seem quite right and now it would seem to have made sense." Pan said.
"That's true, now I have to know about how she was born with the power of the dragon. Bra thinks she is chosen one, and I believe this ties in with it from what she said to me." Vegeta said.
"Chibi-Vegeta, do you understand what any of this means?" Pan asked the girl.
Slowly the girl looked around, her eyes traveling at everyone and stopping to stare at them. Studying them like she had never seen them before. She stood as her eyes stopped on him, Vegeta. She walked to him, "You still look like my papa!" she said almost too demanding for someone of her age, " but you’re not. I can feel it." she said, her small hand clutching the era of her heart.
"Chibi-Vegeta, we will still protect you. I know I'm not your real Kaasama, but I feel connected to you in a sense." Pan said getting from the floor as the girl locked eyes with her. Something wanting to pour out of her as she ran to Pan, jumping in her arms. Her eyes over flowing with tears as she ach to see her real parents and be back in her real world.
Pan held onto her tightly, rocking this innocent child who held the key to there future without her knowing. So young she was and not ready to be in a place like this where she would do things that she could never take back.
Vegeta grunted at the scene before him, "Brat stop crying, there are still things we need answers too." he said with an irritating voice. At once the child stopped and looked at him, her eyes glassy and cheeks red. Pan sending him a glare of anger for daring to yell at her like that.
"Bah, this is foolish and you know it. We are wasting time. We don't know when he will strike again. I will not look like the dumb one an have another one in my family be caught in his game of laughing torture." Vegeta stated with daring eyes that glared at Pan to dare her to bark back at him.
Trunks snorted at the comment, catching the tone and look in his Tousama’s eyes. Letting him know he was still there, and no one threaten his mate like that and live. Not ever again would he let someone live who hurt her, Juunana-gou being his first to tread to pieces at his will an might. Vegeta glared at him, not backing down. Inviting the fight.
"Stop it, both of you!" Pan yelled at them at once. "I'm tired, tense, an angry. If anyone around here should be loosing their head and cool it should be me!" she finished stating. Letting go of the child as she jumped out of her arms.
"Boy, get your mate under control." Vegeta snapped as he looked at Pan dead on. Pan finally lost it and flew straight forward at him, hitting him dead on. Fast and furiously. Vegeta stood amazed at her.
"Now shut your mouth an listen. I'm sixteen an have been through nine levels of hell. Yet I still have kept my sanity." Pan said, baring her teeth at Vegeta as she stood her ground. Inching her nose only an inch away from his. Awaiting for him to make his move, spit something back into her face.
"You know nothing of what I have been through. I have felt, been, and seen things that your mind could not handle or imagine. Things so grotesque that the mere thought would send you into insanity, so don't tell me to keep my sanity. I'm only trying to protect my family." Vegeta said, his voice low but powerful.
"Then be patient, please Vegeta. I don't like this anymore than you." Pan said, her voice softening as she lost all anger of beating him, but just wanting him to be patient and gentle with this child.
"Please stop fighting, I don't like it. The only time Kaasama an Tousama ever fought like that was when they where getting ready to fight for something that was really bad." Chibi-Vegeta said. Awakening attention to everyone at her as they looked down at her.
"Chibi-Vegeta, why don't you tell me a story about you an why you are so special." Trunks said, swatting down to the child’s level. His voice soft and friendly. She looked at him, she had only seen pictures of him. Normally with her Kaasama or with her Tousama and some lady who had blue hair.
"Who are you? Kaasama, and Tousama never really talk about you." she said gathering a new found interest in this person.
"My name is Trunks, I'm your Tousama’s first child in this universe. I'm also Pan's mate. Do you know what that means?" he asked.
"Yeah, you are married to her. In my world, you’re dead. Kaasama is sad sometimes when she thinks of you so is Tousama. Tousama is also sad when he sees pictures of you and a blue hair lady. She's really pretty, everyone says Oneesan will look like her." Chibi-Vegeta said.
"That's my Kaasama. And your Oneesan is my younger Oneesan, Bra. Now what about that story?" Trunks said smiling at her, giving her a little wink of playfulness.
"Ok."
