"Stolen Youth"Written By: Debs-Dragon Disclaimer: I don't own the DBZ gang, a rich Japanese man does. Rating: NC 17 Warnings: Angst, sap, Lemon, violence, nasty Trunks. Notes: A New Years eve party is in full swing at Capsule Corp. Goten and Trunks sample the punch which gets them drunk. Pan has admired Trunks for some time and when he makes his advances she doesn't resist. What happens destroys her trust and faith? Alone and hurting Pan disappears. Authors Notes: I have taken a few liberties with the timeline. Pan is older in this in order for the story to work, I'm afraid that under age sex is not something I condone and as such I have tweaked the time lines to make all characters of consenting age. :) Feedback: Is craved and adored. "Stolen Youth" January 2003 Debs-dragon Chapter 6 Pan awoke to the sounds of bird calls. She rolled over and stared out the window. Today she would begin what she was now calling her new life. She forced all thoughts of Trunks and their encounter to the back of her mind. She was determined to forget all about it and just get on with her life. Pushing the blankets and sheets from her form she stood up and went to the closet. Fetching her clothes she dressed quickly. Today she would go over to her grandparents place and spend some time with them. She hadn't really seen much of them since they came back from their holiday and she really did want to hear all about their adventures. Also Goten would be there and she could use a bit of his carefree nature to lighten her still hurting heart. Having dressed she quickly made her bed and tidied the room. Satisfied that all was done she headed downstairs to the kitchen and breakfast. Videl looked up as her daughter entered the room. "Morning sweetheart." "Morning mom." Pan helped herself to a cup of tea from the pot before slipping some bread into the toaster to brown. Fetching the butter from the 'fridge along with the jam she set the items ready and waited for the toast to pop up. Videl watched her daughter from the corner of her eye. Pan appeared to be acting normally today. The sad girl of last evening replaced with the usual happy persona that was Pan. Videl hoped that whatever it was that had passed between Trunks and Pan was sorted out now. It seemed as though Pan was over it anyway. Pan was aware of her mothers gaze and obvious concern and she was grateful that she didn't pry anymore. Having made her decision Pan preferred not to discuss the matter with anyone as she didn't want to be persuaded to change her mind. Busying herself with spreading the butter and jam on her toast she did her best to appear normal. "So what have you got planned for today dear?" Pan sat at the table with her plate in front of her. "I thought I would go over to Gramps place. Catch up on their holiday and maybe hang with Goten a bit." "That sounds like a good idea. I have a couple of things I would like you to take with you if you don't mind." "Sure mom." Videl left the kitchen to fetch the items and Pan resumed her breakfast. Washing her plate and cup through she dried them off and replaced them in the cupboards. Videl returned carrying a small bag. "Here you go. It's just some patterns I borrowed a while ago. Thank Chi Chi for me for the loan of them please." "Okay mom." Pan took the bag. "I'll be back this afternoon some time okay." "Have fun." Pan left the house and levitated into the air. Soon she was speeding through the sky in the direction of the son home. ~ oOo ~ Trunks awoke feeling a bit more *human* than he had the day before. He dressed and went down to find some food. Bra was in the kitchen when he arrived. With a nod in her direction he helped himself the plate of food his mother had left in the oven. Pouring a glass of orange juice he sat down and began to devour the food. Bra watched him as he moved around and then seated himself. She was still upset with him for treating her friend the way he had but until she spoke with Pan there wasn't a whole lot she could do about it. Well other than continue to make her brother feel like a heel for his treatment of Pan. Pan hadn't rung her back last night and she was a little concerned to say the least. She had made up her mind to go and visit later, hopefully Pan would open up a little more and confide in her what the real problem was. While she didn't want to think that what trunks had said could be true a nagging doubt wouldn't go away. If Pan had slept with her brother than she was sure Pan had her reasons and they certainly weren't what Trunks had said. Pan wasn't like that... she knew that for a fact... or did she? With a sigh she got up and placed another call to Pan's home. Videl answered the phone. "Hello Bra. I'm sorry Pan isn't here." "Oh. Do you know where she went?" "Yes she's gone over to Goku's place for the day, she said she would be back this afternoon some time." "Thanks Videl. I think I'll go over too, I haven't caught up with anybody since I got back and I have heaps to tell them all." Videl laughed. "Okay then dear. Bye." "Bye." Bra hung up the phone. Good. With Pan over at Goku's place she might stand a chance of getting her to open up a bit. Grabbing her purse and dynocaps she stuck her head around the door jamb and addressed her brother. "I'm going to Goten's. I'll be back for dinner." Without waiting for a reply she headed out the front door and popped a capsule. The capsule exploded to reveal a nifty sports car and Bra climbed in. Turning the key the engine purred into life and she set off for Goten's Trunks heard his sister but before he could reply she was gone. She was still mad at him but after talking with his father last night Trunks didn't care. He dismissed it from his mind. Bra would find out soon enough just what Pan was really like he was sure of it. Why then couldn't he convince himself? His heart told him one thing while his pride and head told him another. Shoving the thoughts away he decided he would head over to Goten's later. Maybe a bit of light hearted fun would put him in a better mood. ~ oOo ~ Pan arrived at Goku's home and landed in the front yard. She could sense her Grandmother out the back, Goku and Goten's ki's she could feel inside the house. She walked around the back to find Chi Chi busily pegging out clothes and muttering to herself. Pan smiled. "Hey Gran'ma." Chi Chi spun around. "Pan! What a lovely surprise my dear. It's nice of you to call." Pan walked over to her grandmother and gave her a hug "I see you are up to your neck in laundry." "Something's never change." sighed Chi Chi. "I swear all those two ever do is make enough work to keep me occupied." Pan laughed. "They sure do by the looks of it. Would you like a hand?" "Thank you my dear." Pan helped Chi Chi to finish pegging out the clothes before carrying the now empty basket back inside. She gave her the bag with the patterns in it and went in search of Goten and her grandfather. She found them in the lounge watching television. "Hey Pan." called Goku and he shifted to make room for her on the couch. "Going to watch the game with us?" "Hi grandpa. Sure I'll watch some of it." Pan settled herself next to Goku. "So to what do we owe this honor?" teased Goten. "I just thought I would drop by and see how you all were. Especially grandpa, I haven't seen either of them properly since they got back from holidays. Why? Do I need a special invitation now?" Pan smiled sweetly at Goten. "You can drop by whenever you want Pan. Take no notice of that big oaf." Goku reached over and gave his son a friendly punch to the arm. The three passed the time between idle talk and watching the game. Chi Chi stuck her head in to announce lunch was ready and they moved into the kitchen. Lunch was a fairly quiet affair... well quiet from the point of not much conversation but a lot of slurping and contented chewing sounds more than made up for that. Lunch finished, Pan and Goten did the dishes while Chi Chi busied herself with other chores and Goku returned to the television. The sound of a car approaching brought them from their current 'game' of flicking each other with the tea towels and they recognized Bra's car pulling to a halt. Folding up the tea towels they went outside to meet up. "Hey Bra. How's it going?" asked Pan. "Fine. What about you two? And why didn't you call me back last night?" Goten looked from one girl to the other in confusion before scratching his head. "Don't worry about it Goten... girls talk." Bra winked at him. "Oh Okay then... Sheesh I don't think I want to know." He looked up sensing an approaching ki. Both Bra and Pan also looked skywards and as the figure grew closer they could make out Trunks. Trunks landed next to Goten. He had been a little nervous to see Pan there but quickly hid it. He plastered a smile to his face and gave Goten a punch. "How you doing buddy?" Goten returned the punch. "I was doing great until all you lot showed up." he quipped. "That's not a nice way to greet your best buddy." "So... Deal with it." Goten laughed. "Wanna come watch the rest of the game on TV?" "Sure." Goten and Trunks went towards the house. Goten paused for a moment and turned back to the girls. "Sorry guy's... did you two want to come watch as well?" "No that's okay Goten. Pan and I will sit out here for a while. We have a lot of catching up to do." replied Bra answering for both of them. Goten shrugged his shoulders. "Okay then." then he followed Trunks inside. Bra turned to Pan. "Come on, we need to talk." she said and grabbed Pan by the arm. She dragged her friend over to the big garden swing and sat them both down on it. Pan sat staring into the fringes of the forest. Bra made herself comfortable before deciding which was the best plan of attack. Mind made up she cleared her throat. "Pan.... Look I know we talked yesterday about you and Trunks but you didn't tell me everything did you?" Pan looked around sharply and her eyes narrowed. "Just what is it you are getting at Bra?" Bra looked a little uncomfortable. "Hmmmm.... How to approach this..." she thought. "When you left yesterday you were really upset. You were crying. I know you had words with Trunks and after you had gone I went to confront him... to find out what he had said or done to upset you so much." "Uh oh...." thought Pan. "Just what did Trunks say to Bra?" "He said some things to me which I don't believe to be true Pan. I.. Well I was kind of hoping you could clear it up for me." Bra looked at the ground unable to meet Pan's gaze. "What did he tell you Bra." Pan whispered the words out. "Well he said... Look I don't quite know how to say this but please don't hate me for it." Bra's eyes pleaded for understanding. "It's okay Bra. Just tell me what he said. I promise I won't hate you for it." Bra took a deep breath. "He said that the two of you went for a walk. That you kissed and then..." "Go on." Pan's eyes narrowed. "He said you pretty much threw yourself at him and that you weren't the sweet innocent girl you would have us all believe. That you offered yourself to him and so he took what you offered and now you were trying to use it to get him to marry you." Bra stared at Pan, trying to read the reaction in her friends face. She was a little surprised at what she saw. She had been expecting anger but the look of defeat was a bit of a shock. "It isn't true.... is it Pan?" Pan smiled. "Not really Bra. Part of it is true.... but not in the way Trunks has obviously told you." Bra looked even more confused. "Yes I went for a walk with him and it was sweet. He kissed me a few times but then he started to want more. I tried to get him to stop but.. well it sort of felt good and he kept insisting he wouldn't hurt me. Before I knew it he had gotten pretty much just about all the way. I did try to stop him again. I asked him several time to stop but he didn't. He just kept going and wiped away my fears with sweet words and promises of pleasure. I... I gave in and let him take me. I thought he was finally getting ready to settle down. That he was noticing me at last and that this would be special, that if I consented it would mean we would begin dating and really getting to know each other. I guess I was pretty desperate huh?" Pan began to cry. Bra pulled her friend close and soothed her as best she could. "No Pan... I think you just got taken away with the moment. Trunks can be pretty charming when he wants to be. If you asked him to stop then he should have respected your wishes and ceased his forwardness. The fact that he didn't, that he continued to press his advances tells me he pretty much raped you Pan." Pan's breath hitched. "No. No he didn't Bra. I let him. I consented in the end and so he took my virginity. I'm no better than the other cheap girls that are always throwing themselves at him." Bra shook her friend. "Stop that! You hear me? Stop it. You aren't some silly airhead, you are a very smart and lovely person Pan. If my brother can't see that then he is a fool." "Yeah well... I guess if he had just told me he still wasn't ready for a relationship then I could have accepted it. I would have been happy to wait for him... how ever long it took but...." Pan paused for a moment. "After we had our talk he made it quite clear to me that he thought of me in the same context as all the others... that I am only after him for his name and money. Oh Bra he pretty much said it was all my fault... that I was the one that seduced him but I didn't... You believe me don't you?" Bra gazed at her friend. "Yes I believe you. So what now?" "That's why I left so fast yesterday. I needed to be alone to think. I had to work out what I was going to do." "And have you?" "Yes. I decided that no matter how much I thought I was in love with Trunks the man I was with the other night wasn't the Trunks I fell in love with. He has made it perfectly clear he doesn't want a relationship... In fact he has made it crystal clear he thinks no more of me than he does of the others that throw themselves at him. But I did tell him this. I am not like the others. I didn't want him for his name or his money. I wanted him for the Trunks he was. Kind, caring and sensitive, a fun guy, one to share hopes and dreams with, but I don't know where that Trunks has gone or if he will ever return. So I'm not going to waste my time any more. I'm going to move on with my life. There are plenty of other guys out there Bra... one of them is meant for me. I intend to find him." Pan lowered her eyes to the ground. She hoped Bra swallowed that. While it was pretty much all true, she wasn't going to let it get to her, she was going to move on, part of her was still hoping for the return of the Trunks she knew was still within that body. Bra gave her friend a squeeze. "I admire you Pan. Good for you. I hope you do find that special someone, that you find happiness. Trunks is a jerk. If he is too blind to see you for what you really are then he deserves to lose you the asshole. I knew it couldn't have happened the way he said." Pan sat quietly lost in thought. If she was going to move on with her life and not let this incident spoil it why did she feel so empty? They sat for a while longer discussing Bra's recent trip to her grandparents. They laughed over the strange behavior of Bra's grandmother and her seemingly ever present obsession with tea. They chuckled about her grandfathers continuous dabbling with science even though he was retired. The sun was beginning to lower itself when Chi Chi came out to bring her washing in and alerted them to the time. Bra and Pan both bid the son family farewell. Pan promising to return for another visit in a couple of days. Bra sped off in her car while Pan took to the sky. Pan arrived home just as her father did. "Had a good day dad?" she inquired politely. "It wasn't too bad honey. How about you?" "Yeah I visited Grandpa and Grandma." "They both okay?" "They're fine dad." Videl opened the door and placed a kiss upon Gohan's cheek. "Dinner's nearly ready." "We'll just go and wash up then." said Gohan as he removed his jacket and tie. Pan washed her hands and went to give her mother a hand to finish with dinner. Soon they were all sitting down to a hearty meal and exchanging their news. Gohan was pleased that Pan seemed to have sorted herself out. The girl was a lot happier today he mused. Life seemed to continue on as normal... Pan spent her time with Bra and the rest of their gang and was polite to Trunks. Trunks had put the entire incident out of his mind and recommenced their friendship as if nothing had happened. Goten was none the wiser for anything that had happened and Bra accepted Pan's decision. They all hung out together, frequenting the local mall, going to the movies and generally just having fun. Then suddenly Pan's whole life came crashing down. ~ oOo ~ |
