" Kindred Spirits "Written By: Debs-dragon Disclaimer: I don't own the DBZ crew, they belong to a rich Japanese man. Rating: PG 13 for now. Notes: This is a spin off
story from the Trunk's & Marron fic "Could you Love Me?"
This is the first attempt I have made to write Goten and Bra so if
they appear OOC then that's my fault, live with it. "Kindred Spirits " AN: For those hard core DBZ fans out there yes I know Pan is older in this fic than she is in the series. I wanted her that way in order to make the plot line work. Don't like it then deal with it. Chapter 6 The pathway opened out to reveal the lake ahead. The fringe of trees gave way to a soft covering of sand mixed with the odd tuft of grass. The lake waters lapped softly at the sand as if enticing the newcomers to play. Bra sighed, "Isn't it beautiful?" "Yeah, Pretty." agreed Pan. "Should be some nice sized fish out there." said Kauli as he noted a small dock to the one side. A row boat was tied to the post and swayed gently as the water rippled beneath it. "I wonder who the boat belongs to?" mused Goten. "Lets take a walk over and see. We may be able to borrow it." Kauli said as he started off along the shore line. The rest of the group followed each deep in their own thoughts. Shortly the found themselves walking along the small pier to where the boat was attached. A small sign at the end gave them the information they needed. "Property of the National Forestry Department." Pan read out loud. "There's a phone number too. I think you should give them a ring and see if you can hire the boat." "Sounds good to me." said Goten. They stood for a while longer admiring the view. The sun began to dip lower and with reluctance they headed back along the shore to the track that would take them back to the camp site. Goten again took Bra's hand as they walked in silence. The warm balmy evening put everyone in a good mood and they arrived back at the site eager to enjoy their evening meal. Pan and Bra fetched the food from within the tent while Goten got the fire going again. Kauli took the large water container and headed for the shower block to fill it up. "Just a quick supper tonight." announced Pan, "Hot dogs okay for you all?" "Yup, that's fine by me." responded Kauli. "As long as it's edible I don't care." smiled Goten. Pan chose to ignore the comment from her uncle and busied herself getting the 'dogs' on to cook. Bra fetched the rolls and began to put butter on them. Wrapping them under a tea towel she took out some onions and began to peel and slice them ready for the pan. Soon her eyes were watering as the pungent fumes reached her. Now she remembered why she hated this job. Wiping her eyes yet again she noticed Goten watching her. "What you crying for Bra?" he teased. "Not missing your Dad are you?" added Kauli. Bra growled. "Hey maybe she's all upset 'cause you haven't paid her much attention." said Kauli as he dug Goten in the ribs. Goten went red and Bra spluttered. Pan tried desperately to hide her mirth. Deciding to save her friend she called, "Next time you two can do the onions." Both men instantly sobered at this thought, they hated peeling onions. "Just for that you two are on washing up duty tonight." added Pan as she took the onions from Bra and put them to cook. Sitting around the table the conversation slowed while they ate. Licking a spot of tomato sauce off his chin Goten asked, "So what do you want to do tomorrow?" "Well if its as warm as today I wouldn't mind going for a swim." said Bra. "I agree, a swim would be good." said Pan. "Okay then swimming it is." said Kauli. Finishing off their meal Goten and Kauli collected the dishes and put some water on to boil in readiness to wash up. Bra and Pan seized the opportunity to collect their things together to go take a shower. Walking along the track to the shower block Pan couldn't help her curiosity. "So Bra, how are you and Goten getting along?" "Pretty good I think." Bra responded. "You seemed pretty chummy earlier on." Pan said with a smile. "Yeah well he apologized for teasing me so much but I do think he cares a bit for me." Bra's mind went off on its own little tangent as her thoughts returned to the feeling of Goten's hand in hers and the feelings it had provoked. "Well he looked as if he was enjoying himself if that's any help." teased Pan. In an effort to steer the conversation away from her current love life Bra asked her own question. "Any more advances in the Kauli department Pan?" Pan sighed. "I'm not sure. I know he was watching me earlier on, he had a sort of longing look in his eyes. Well at least I think he did." she giggled. "Just listen to us two will you. We're like a couple of love sick teenagers." said Bra with a roll of her eyes. Pan laughed, "I hate to tell you this Bra, but in case you had forgotten we are teenagers. As for the love sick bit, well you can speak for yourself!" They entered the showers still laughing at their silly antics. Setting their stuff down by two of the shower stalls Bra placed some coins in the meter for the hot water. Soon steam rose in the air and the sounds of water running drowned out the crickets. Toweling themselves off they re dressed before collecting all their bits together and walking back to the campsite. Darkness had descended while they were showering but they could see the light from the campfire so had no difficulty in finding their way back. "Took you two long enough." said Kauli as they came into view. "I was beginning to think we would have to send out a search party." "We weren't gone that long." huffed Pan. "Miss us did you?" said Bra with a smirk as she flounced into the tent to put away her toiletries. Goten opted to keep his mouth shut. Returning with her damp towel Bra walked over to the tree where a branch leaned out just at the perfect height for her to be able to drape her towel over it to dry. Pan walked up next to her and hung her own towel alongside. "You two like some cocoa?" asked Goten. "Love some." the girls chorused together. Kauli fetched the mugs while Goten boiled some milk. He passed the mugs around and three pairs of hands took them. Sitting around the fire with the warm cocoa they all felt the same sense of peace steal over them. The firelight cast a warm glow around and bathed the four in its gentle light. "So we all going swimming then tomorrow?" said Goten. "Yeah, I think it would be fun." answered Pan dreamily. Bra reached into the bag she had brought out of the tent and pulled the packet of marshmallows from it. She handed the packet to Goten who grinned. "Thanks Bra." he said and proceeded to open the packet. He passed the packet around and each person took a few. Kauli hunted for some sticks and satisfied with what he found he handed one to each of them. They sat for a while toasting the marshmallows and sipping their cocoa. "Ahh this is the life." said Goten as he put his mug down. "Damn!" said Bra. "What's up?" asked Goten. "I cant keep this stupid marshmallow on the stick." Sure enough as the marshmallow became soft so it slithered off the stick and into the fire. "Here, let me." said Goten and he placed his hand over Bras and took the stick. Bra felt electricity crackle as Goten touched her hand and she nearly dropped the stick. Blushing madly she hoped no one could see her skin properly in the firelight. "Thanks Goten." she smiled. "No problem." he replied and trusting in fate he moved a little closer to her. He placed a fresh marshmallow on the end and lowered it into the flames. "The trick is to keep it just out of the direct heat and turn it all the time, that way it toasts evenly and wont slide off." he said as he carefully 'cooked' the white object. Bra was quite happy to sit and let him take over, for once ignoring her stubbornness. She could feel the warmth radiating of his body and watched as the firelight danced over his skin. "Here you go." said Goten as he pulled the sticky morsel off the end of the stick and passed it to Bra. Bra opened her mouth and Goten slid the candy past her lips. She closed her eyes as she savored the sweet treat, rolling her tongue around it and drawing it deeper into her mouth before swallowing it. "Mmmmm yummy." she said and looked at Goten. He smiled at her as he watched the rapture pass over her face as she enjoyed the taste of the sweet. Blushing slightly when she turned to look at him he quickly picked up another marshmallow and began to toast it. Bra watched, her mind content to be this close to him. Another marshmallow was presented to her and this time she reached to take it sliding her lips gently over Goten's sticky fingers. She drew them lightly into her mouth and began to suck the gooey substance from the digits. Goten shivered. "When in the hell did eating a marshmallow turn into such an erotic experience?" he thought to himself and then decided he really didn't care. Pan was watching enviously out of the corner of her eye as her stick hung forgotten from her fingers. Not that she begrudged her uncle or her best friend anything when it came to their happiness but she couldn't help the jealousy she felt at not having the same opportunity herself. A white object was suddenly being waved across her line of vision and she brought her thoughts back to the present situation. Kauli was offering her a marshmallow. Kauli watched the little display his friend was enjoying and noticed that Pan had a look of longing on her face. Making his mind up he threw caution to the winds and decided to make some sort of a move. Pulling the marshmallow from the end of his stick he waved it in front of Pan's face in an attempt to regain her attention. Pan smiled at the gesture and reached for the sweet. Kauli danced it away and waggled his finger, "Nuh uh... no fingers." he teased. Pan opened her mouth and let him drop the soft lump on her tongue. "Thanks." she muttered. "Why should we let them two have all the fun?" he said. Pan glanced back to where Bra was still licking the soft mallow from Goten's fingers. She felt a finger on her chin and face was gently turned to look at Kauli's. "You have a spot on your chin." he said huskily. "Do I?" Pan replied breathing fast. Kauli reached forward and swiped his tongue lightly over her chin. Pan closed her eyes as she felt the touch of Kauli's tongue against her flesh and shivered. It felt... good. Smiling to himself Kauli pressed closer and brushed his lips lightly against Pan's. Feeling the tender kiss Pan's eyes opened wide with shock and she pulled back. She stared at Kauli and noted the look of apology in his eyes. She raised her fingers to her lips. "Pan... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." Kauli whispered and lowered his eyes waiting for her to throw a torrent of abuse at him for his forwardness. When none came he hesitantly looked up. Pan heard his words but her mind was too befuddled. "He kissed me!" was all she could think of as her fingers traced across her lips, the feeling of Kauli's still there. She realized he had spoken and looked into his eyes. "Its okay." she huffed out. Kauli smiled and placed his hand against her cheek "I.. I'd like to do it again if I may?" "I'd like that Kauli." Gently he cupped Pan's chin and reached forward to place his lips against hers. Hesitantly she responded. His tongue traced the line of her bottom lip as he sought permission to enter her mouth. She granted the intrusion. Quickly his tongue swept in, tasting her sweetness and exploring the warmth. Her tongue shyly met his and they entwined in a dance of their own exploring the depths of the other's mouth. Pan's brain registered that she needed to breathe or pass out and reluctantly she broke the kiss. Her eyes met Kauli's deep blue and she saw the fire there. A chuckle penetrated her mind and she realized with a jolt that Goten and Bra were watching them intently. Embarrassed she blushed and tried to hide her face. "Way to go buddy!" snickered Goten. Bra stared at Pan and laughed. "I see you two are getting better acquainted." Kauli grinned back. "Thanks man." he reached and put an arm protectively around Pan's shoulders. Pan just smiled at Bra and her uncle and snuggled closer to Kauli. Goten looked at Bra and raised an eyebrow. Drawing a deep breath he plunged in... "Are we going to sit here and let them have all the fun?" he asked her with an evil grin. Here was her chance! Bra smiled back at him "I think we can have just as much fun as them." she smirked and reaching forward she wrapped her arms around Goten's neck and pulled him close. Goten needed no prompting. Eagerly his own arms sought out Bra's frame and secured themselves around her waist, he lowered his lips to meet hers and locked them together. Bra was in heaven. Goten was finally kissing her. She felt his tongue press against her lips seeking entrance and she granted the access. Tongues met and stroked as they mapped out the territory of each others mouths, air being the only reason to break apart. Goten sneaked a glance at his friend and niece who were once again locked at the lip and enjoying every moment of it so it seemed. His attention was brought back to the blue haired beauty in his arms as she nibbled along his bottom lip. Feeling incredibly happy he captured her mouth once more in a fierce kiss of possession. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
