Liaisons

Liaisons

A Lonely Road

A/N: I do not usually write authors notes, but this next sequence of events might feel a bit disjointed from the story. It is a dream sequence of a past time. I imagined that this happened in which to result in the story Liaisons as an answer to a Pan and Trunks challenge based on a song. I consider this the first touch…

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone.
(Boulevard of Broken Dreams~ Greenday)

She could believe she was untouchable. Pan walked down the city street, and it was deserted. But they were out there, her enemies now. No one attacked her though. Either Buu or Uub would show up and protect her. They were her constant shadow- giving her, her space but always there. However, they were not the only ones… He would be there too. He, him, her confidant---

Now that Grandpa Goku was lost, she had no real fear of things she knew, only a fear of the unknown. Her Papa and Mama had turned against her; everyone had….Bulma and Vegeta- Everyone.

Pan shuddered, as she felt the chill of all their hate. They wanted her dead… all of them except him. It came back to him- He had to hate her too! However, he could not kill her or at least he had not yet……………

Pan figured she understood why Bebi did not need her. Even though she was a Saiyan female, the Tuffle had Bra… She was the princess. Pan was just a ¼ Saiyan…. Bebi really hated Goku’s inability to be infected… She was better than dead. Thus, he had not been able to infect her either. There was just something about her.

Pan sensed this dilemma, even more so with Trunks. Every time she had crossed his path from the first time they had awaken Bebi on M2, or when Trunks was infected on Pital. He had slapped her across the ship- then later at his home at Capsule Corp. Next, in the street on earth…. Trunks/ Bebi had stood looming over her- in a victory stance. His red possessed eyes glowing angrily at her. Bravely she looked up into his tormented eyes and waited for something to happen- death-

She could only look through him looking for the man she had come to care. The man she had gave up as lost… She trusted him would give her life for him… She would give up now knowing she would not fight to destroy him. Pan could not hurt anyone in her family that had been possessed. At least not enough to inflict a mortal would.

Though they were loss to her, she saw something in the Trunks/Bebi eyes. They flickered from red to aqua and he was there... staring deeply back into hers. The fatal blow never came.

Instinctively she knows it might never; at least not from him…

Ironically, not only could he not kill her, he had saved her from a mob scene intent on killing her. She could have killed them all easily but somewhere he knew her secret hate of killing earthlings. That meant that Trunks was still there with some influence.

Why hadn’t the others found themselves as often as Trunks had? Vegeta was strong and Gohan and Goten were strong…

Pan stumbled on a dip in the sidewalk… she cursed herself for being so clumsy... She had not been paying attention to her surroundings... that could mean her death. Today was her birthday. Besides, everyone she knew was a Tuffle, except Hercules, Uub b, and Buu. There would be no Dim sum, no Dino Tail soup… there was only loneliness and the hope that everything would work out.

Her wanderings way from her only haven (Satan and Buu) was a harsh reality she wanted to feel. And this allowed her to think about him. Some deep part of her knew that he would find himself... Trunks was an enigma-

It was then that she had an eerie feeling of being watched.

He slid from around the corner, the dual voice of Bebi/ Trunks spoke, “An ugly Saiyan all alone.”

Pan immediately took her fighting stance, “What do you want?” as she gave him back the nasty sneer.

“Such fight in a weakling,” he mocked.

“Come and find out what a weakling I am” her anger was building- she would hurt him, especially for taking Trunks and her family away…Grandpa…

He moved so fast-

His face was inches from hers…

Pan swore she could only hear one voice and it was Trunks solitary one.

Licking his lips-“Yes, Pan, I know how weak you are.” He continued to inch closer stealing her first kiss. His powerful hands grabbing her to him, they felt as though they were everywhere at once, his fiery tongue flicking inside her mouth-

He reached between her legs; rubbing her causing more of a fire…

“Oh Kami, Kami,” she could hear a voice moan… it was her voice…but it sounded so far away.

“Hehehe,” his laughing brought her back.

She opened her eyes to see his red ones mocking her-

Pan pulled back immediately disgusted with herself…

“Damn you” she whispered.

Bebi/Trunks stood back a laughed …

Pan could feel the others, her former family members coming toward them.

She cursed herself for letting her guard down… Grandpa Hercules and Buu were close too… She wanted to turn and run to them…

Before she reacted, though something happened,

His voice alone, “Happy Birthday Pan,” he said and stooped to kiss her cheek. Pan opened her mouth but only stared. His eyes were blue again but had a hungry look to his face—

She could not talk…. He reached his hand out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear…The moment dissipated as soon as it happened.

“Filthy Saiyan!” Gohan/Bebi yelled.\

Pan jumped back turned around and ran to her grandfather. She did not see the red glare cover his eyes again.

“Pan- uh Pan you shouldn’t go out here alone... it’s not safe” Grandpa Hercules scolded her.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pan awoke – Dende! She had not thought or dreamed of that in a while. The world recovered from that time and then Grandpa Goku came back to defeat Bebi… but left again with the Dragon…

She squeezed the sleep from her eyes- it hurt somewhat to remember those few moment with Trunks- That was until recently.

He had given her, her first taste of desire... and it was all she could think. Though Bebi no longer resided inside of Trunks-, he was still part good and part evil…

He was evil in the way he treated her when he was not trying to seduce her…. when he want being a friend. Evil when he would leave that empty space that needed to be filled….

No one had been able to fill that space. Not Trunks and not Ryan.

Last night seeing Trunks at the part brought it back again. In addition, it resurrected that fateful day…it had been nearly 18 months since but it might as well been a lifetime ago. Regrettably and repulsively, she wished that Bebi were still with Trunks… If not for anything but to seduce her and fill the emptiness, he had created.

For that was what prompted her to accept Bra’s insanity, and Trunks’ bipolar fluctuations, what solace did it giver her? With no compunction to continue, she had trued to live her life… The one life that Grandpa Goku had sacrificed for her... for all of them to have.

She gathered her courage- and she had just been living day to day. Not willing to be tortured anymore- yes – yes she had to live …

Still, especially without the Briefs if need be… she could not go back to the old routine unless it fit into her life the one she was trying to make…

Trunks felt the slap…and fully embedded into Bebi’s anger and he turned and sneered at Gohan.

“Remember, I am still your Prince,” he grumbled to Bebi/Gohan.

“You don’t want your father to know you fraternize with that filthy Saiyan?”

“I can break her anyway I see fit!” Bebi/ Trunks defended.

“You’re sick! No Tuffle lies with scum Saiyans!”

“Then how are you sleeping at night- we all seem to within Saiyans.” Bebi/Trunks reminded.

“So you want to be within a Saiyan? It must be Trunks fighting you.” Bebi/ Gohan concluded.

“And it must be ‘Gohan’ giving you bad ideas!” Bebi/Trunks countered.

“Hehe” Bebi/Gohan laughed.

Trunks awoke-

He barely recalled the times he was overtaken by that parasite- But he remembered that day. He remembered Gohan’s anger and did not never know if it was Gohan’s, or Bebi's- he could never be sure, However, Pan he remembered and he saw how she looked through Bebi’s eyes… deeply to where he was and she had been his lifeline. He had wanted so badly to reach for her.

He wanted her. Moreover, she wanted him. Even then, he had wished that no one had interrupted them. Perhaps they could be as happy as Goten and Bra were last night…
