Chapter Three
Pan wiped the blood from her mouth from the left behind sucker punch Vegeta threw at her when she let her guard down thinking the training was over. She learned though real quick with Vegeta, it's never truly over with.
"Well you have a lot to learn, but you did surprise me with some shots", Vegeta said walking out the gravity room with Pan.
"Well, I guess I'll take that as a compliment." Pan said walking beside him now.
"Well if you worked more, and paid more attention to every move I make. Rather it's basic combat or a ki maneuver, you would be better and not so wild with everything."
"I knew you couldn't be that nice to me for too long." Pan said, opening the door to the kitchen and walking in with Vegeta now behind her.
"Well, get something to eat brat and than the real fun will begin" Vegeta said pushing past her as they raided the refrigerator for the next hour.
"Goten, hi it's Bra." Bra said trying to talk low.
"Hey, why are you speaking so low?"
"Can't really talk right here and now, so can you meet me somewhere, say around ten to tonight?"
"What do you have up your sleeves?"
"I'm not scheming, it's about Trunks and Pan. So will you?"
"Yeah, sure. Meet me at the town square clock in the park. Okay?"
"Yeah, see you there."
"Alright, bye Bra-chan."
"Bye Goten."
Bra hung up the phone only to jump at the sound of her father calling out her name.
"Bra... get out here and start your training. Me and Pan have already warmed up. And what are you so jumpy about?" Vegeta looking at his Musume rather weirdly.
"Oh, um… I wasn’t jumpy. You just startled me, that's all." Bra said smiling sweetly at her Tousama.
"Whatever brat, just get dressed and get your butt down there." Vegeta said turning his heal now and walking down the stairs.
"That was weird, first Goten called me Bra-chan. Than my father, I could have sworn used my name when he first came here." Bra said shaking her head as she got off her bed and went to dress for training.
Only three hours had passed and Bra was already ready to quit this whole training thing for the day. Her body ached all over, her hair was mopped on top of her head. Her eyes where still squinty as her nose kept catching that faint smell of blood in the air from either her, Pan, or her Tousama. Yet she found it fun, and even intriguing as well.
"Alright Bra, you can take a break, but you will increase your hours each day. I will not go easy on you because you’re my Musume. I will treat you like I treated Trunks and how I'm treating Pan." Vegeta said standing just fine in the middle of the battle arena Bulma has built for him to spar in.
"Yes, Tousama. Well, I'm taking a shower now, how about you Pan?" Bra said grabbing a towel and throwing it around her shoulders while taking one of the ends and wiping her face.
"Nah, I'm going to train some more until your brother comes over to train himself." Pan said walking up to the side wall and grabbing her bottle of water. She quickly popped the top off and squeezed the water into her mouth and all over her face and hair.
"Whatever. Well I'll see you later.." Bra said walking out now.
"Brat, you ready to go another round. Or do you think you can actually handle a Super Saiya-jin?" Vegeta said cockily at her.
"I'll show you what I'm ready for!" Pan said jumping back into the middle of the room and crouching down into her stance as she prepared for battle.
The two took off at the same time with one fist out ready to hit the other one. They crashed in the middle blocking each other blows and started throwing varies of kicks and punches combinations.
"So, you think you ever had a chance with my brat?" Vegeta said taunting Pan, who had stopped and left an opening for him. He quickly took it and upper cut her as she flew backwards and crashed into the wall. Pan came back flying furiously at him as the two clashed again.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Pan growled trying to connect a punch on Vegeta's face.
"Face it, you will never have him." Vegeta said pushing back.
"You will die being lonely." he said waiting for her to come at him. And she did with full force almost catching him off guard but soon found herself being pinned on the floor.
"Get off me you over pompous jerk!" Pan said between her teeth as her temper rose.
"You are nothing but a flat-chested, tomboy looking, lowly third class Saiya-jin if you even have enough Saiya-jin in you to be called one." Vegeta said cockily at her. Pan couldn't believe what he said. With all her strength, she grabbed hold of Vegeta's arms tightly and kicked her legs under his stomach as she threw him up in the air. Soon as he was off her she flipped aiming for his face.
"I am a Saiya-jin and not a lowly third class one either." Pan snapped back as she kicked him in the gut with a side kick, "AND I'M NOT FLAT CHESTED...!!!!!!!" Pan yelled loudly with her fist powered up with a ki blast that hit Vegeta with a surprise across the face, this time sending him across the room.
Pan was still flushed as Vegeta came back at her locking blows and ki attacks. "Drop down brat, now!" Vegeta said taking her arms and holding her from behind in a arm lock.
"Why?" Pan snapped back.
"Because if you don't, I'll really start to hurt you." Vegeta said back, pushing her to the ground with a little force as he landed down behind her.
"Look at me, you’re at your peak now. So don't ever think that will happen again."
"What are you talking about, at my peak?"
"Your true strength as a warrior. You’re getting ready to go into heat and on the up coming moon you will be at your best."
"My best? And what does the moon have to do with it, and how do you know I'm in heat?" Pan said now standing.
"Because you smell like it, and the moon will bring your Saiya-jin blood to it's most powerful. So since you don't have a tail, you will gain all that energy in your body."
"So why do you care if I'm in heat, and why the hell where you saying all that crap?" Pan said trying to take in everything he was saying.
"Because you have bonded with my son, and I knew that it would set you off. Plus, I wanted to see how strong you were at this point to see if you would be ready." Vegeta said taking his normal pose.
"Be ready for what?" Pan questioned with one eyebrow now raised.
"To take Trunks as your mate. You will fight him that night, and if you win, he will be yours. You will have the power that night and only that night to do it." Vegeta said. "Although, I'm surprise it's actually affecting you seeing you’re not even a half-breed."
"I can't just take Trunks, plus he has made it clear he doesn’t want me." Pan said.
"Trunks is Saiya-jin too, and the moon will affect him in the same way. A little different from you, but he will know what's going on. And he will not turn down the challenge, it's in his blood." Vegeta said and just walked out the room to leave Pan there to think about what he said.
"I'm in heat, and the moon will make me even more powerful than I ever have been. And I'm suppose to take Trunks as my mate by fighting him and winning." Pan scratched her head. "This is just too much for me."
Later that day, around 10:00 pm, Bra flew through the sky to meet Goten at the town square clock in the park. She was amazed at how fast she was going just from three hours of training that day. Plus, she also learned some new moves to fight with that would definitely come in handy.
"Ah, it's already five after and I still have about ten minutes before I get there.." Bra said hastily while looking down at her watch trying to pick up more speed.
"Pan, honey how was your training today with Bra?" Videl asked coming into her Musume room. "Well, you’ll never believe who decided to train us." Pan said turning from her window to face her Kaasama.
"Who, Trunks?" Videl asked sitting on the edge of Pan's bed across from her.
"No Kaasama, I don't have anything to do with him" Pan said while slowly saying the last part as she turned back to face the sky wanting to push his face out of her mind.
"Oh, well then who?" Videl asked wishing she could have heard that last part she said.
"Vegeta-sama, he even actually gave me a compliment. Well kinda, but with him, you take what you can get." Pan said with a slight smile as she turned to face her Kaasama again. Videl was shocked to hear who, and didn't seam to like it too much as her face lost it's soft glow and gained a harsh look.
"What, he's training you and Bra? Does your father know about this? I don't want him pushing you to death like he almost did with his own son." Videl said standing up now.
"No Kaasama, Tousama doesn't know. And Vegeta would never do that, to Trunks or me. For crying out loud Kaasama, I'm 16 years old and part Saiya-jin. I'm not your little girl anymore, I can take care of myself."
"What? Have you lost your mind? You are still under my house and will go by my rules, and that means you will not train with that monster." Videl snapped back.
"No Kaasama, I will keep training under him. And he is not a monster. At least he will push me harder and thinks that my wanting to fight is a good thing unlike you and Tousama. He doesn't show me any pity like dad would. And he knows when to let up." Pan yelled back.
"Pan, I know you’re still a little upset after breaking up with Trunks, but that's no reason to lash out at me like that.."
"This has nothing to do with Trunks, this has to do with me and Vegeta. He will train me, and then maybe I will finally get what I want." Pan yelled back at her mother.
"Pan, you can't just get back Trunks because your training under his father."
"That's not what I want, I want to know what it's like to be a super-Saiya-jin. To have all that power, to be like Tousama, and Grandpa Goku. To make them proud of me."
"Pan, I didn't realize that, but everyone is still proud of you. I just don't want Vegeta to hurt you. You are my only child." Videl said walking up to Pan who turned her back on her again to face outside.
Videl softly placed her arms around Pan's shoulders. "Kaasama, please just leave me alone. And don't ever say Trunks name around me again, please.." Pan said softly trying not to cry.
"Ok, Pan...but this is not healthy. You need to talk, if not to me than to someone. And I will let you train under Vegeta after I talk to your Tousama about this. If he says yes, than you may. But only till you reach Super Saiya-jin. Ok?" Videl said slowly moving her hands onto her back now before she walked out. "Fine, Kaasama." Pan said back.
Videl slowly turned around to only find Gohan in the room who heard everything. Gohan walked his wife out the room. "I'll talk to her, and then you later. There are some things you might not understand about her nature because of her blood." Gohan said kissing her wife on the forehead and than showing her off before walking back into Pan's room.
"Well Tousama, are you going to tell me I can't train under Vegeta now? I knew you where standing there the whole time. You should have lowered you ki more." Pan said knowing he was right behind her now.
"Well I'm glad to your senses have sharpened a lot lately. And no, I will let you train under Vegeta as long as you like. I know him, and know he would not hurt you deliberately. He will train you hard though, until you have everything perfect. Plus he knows better than to hurt you, because than he would have to deal with me. And nobody messes with your dad." Gohan said smiling at his Musume who let a small chuckle out at the last part.
"Thank you Tousama..." Pan said now turning around and hugging him.
"Oh, Panny, you've grown up to be such a beautiful woman. I just wish you would stop being so depressed about Trunks." Gohan said holding her in his arms tightly.
"Tousama, if you only knew." Pan said sniffling in her fathers chest.
"Bra are you sure this is going to work? I mean from what I know a bond is nothing to mess with and can never be broken." Goten said still sitting in the park as Bra told him her plan.
"Goten, trust me. At least she will be happy. So are you going to help me or not?" Bra asked.
"Yeah, I guess as long as you think it will make her happy." Goten said with his head hanging down now as he agreed with Bra.
"Good, we start our search tomorrow after my training with Pan and my Tousama." Bra said flashing him a bright smile.
"Since when did you start training? " Goten asked pocking his head up now with one eyebrow raised.
"Today." Bra said proudly.
"Oh, well I guess than I don't have to fly you home then." Goten said jumping off the table now.
"I don't think so, unless you want to mess with my father." Bra said jumping into his arms.
"You never cease to amaze me, you know that?" Goten said lifting her up into the air as he took off to her house.
