Pan woke up the next morning, early, but somehow, she felt safe where she was. She looked down and noticed Juunana-gou's face frozen in it's peaceful slumber.

"Juunana, wake up." Pan said shaking him gently. "Juu-kun, please get up." She begged trying again.

"Hi, Panny. You're up early." He said opening his clear blue eyes and looking at her. "Do you need something?"

"Iie, just wondering if you would come downstairs with me." She asked.

"All right Pan-chan." He picked her up. Leaving her arms free and floated down the stairs to the kitchen.

Videl and Gohan were quite surprised to see Pan at all, especially with Juunana-gou. "Hey sweet pea. How are you feeling this morning?" He asked her.

"Hungry." She said.

"I'm a bit hungry myself, if you wouldn't mind." Juunana said.

"No problem, after cooking for Gohan and Pan I'm used to it. Unfortunatly there is another Saiyan and two half Sayians still upstairs." Videl laughed for the first time in days.

Juunana-gou sat down at the table with Pan still on his lap.

"Are you going to eat on Juu-kun's lap, Panny?" Videl asked.

Pan looked from Juunana to her parents. "I'd like to stay here." She whispered. She didn't know why, but she felt totally safe when he was around, even though he wasn't even the strongest fighter around, but she could feel his soul, she trusted him.

They ate in silence after Vegeta, Bra, and Goten had joined them, everything was going well until Juunana and Pan sat down to watch a little television. They had been watching 'Wake Up, Japan' when Pan suddenly flared Super Saiyan. "It's him!" She screamed. Juunana-gou looked at the T.V. and sure enough was the man responsible for all this. He was in a wheelchair and all white hospital clothes.

".....And in breaking news today, man found in alleyway, suffering severe head and neck trauma miraculously survives..." The news caster spoke. ".....More at 8..."

"It is him!" Juunana said running a nervous hand through his hair, Pan was still in SSJ mode and was about ready to blast the TV.

"Pan, settle down." Bra and Vegeta told her.

"We can go see him after they say which hospital he's at." Bra said.

Pan dropped out of Super Saiyan. "I'm not going to kill him, I'm going to make him see what he's done to me. Let him wallow in his guilt, and if he's not sorry, I will kill him." Pan said, eyes down, not showing any emotion at all.

"We'll make him pay, Pan-chan." Juunana-gou said putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Gohan looked about ready to burst, this man did this vile thing to his Pan-chan, and he was alive? Vegeta and Bra's ki's were also flaring wildly in anticipation of battle.

"No." She said. "This is my fight." Pan said defiantly. "You may come, but do not interfere."

"Fine, brat. We leave now." Vegeta said flying out the door, Pan, Bra, Videl, Gohan, Goten, and Juunana followed suit.

The group flew steadily until they reached West Satan City Hospital, it was near the place it happened, so they figured they'd start there.

"Is this the hospital where the man on the news is?" Juunana-gou asked.

"Yes, what relation do you have to him?" The nurse asked.

Goten was on the verge of Super Saiyan, while the others' ki's were flaring wildly.

"No relation. We've...met." Juunana told her. He wanted to kick this guys ass just as much as everyone else, but wouldn't, because Pan was right, it was better for him to live with the guilt, than die and escape it.

"All right, visiting hours aren't until nine o'clock, so you'll have to wait." It was just eight o'clock. Pan just sat down next to 17 while Gohan wore a groove on the floor with his pacing, Goten did the Goten thing and fell asleep, Videl and Bra looked about ready to bust in there and kick some ass, but were sitting tense in thier chairs.

"What are you going to say to him when you see him, Pan-chan?" Juunana-gou asked.

"I don't know yet, just whatever comes to mind." She said. He took her hand and squeezed.

"I know you'll say the right thing." He said.

The hour went by slowly, Pan thought about what to say, Gohan tried to figure out what to do not to go Super Saiyan, but eventually the hour came.

"It's nine o'clock, Pan." Videl said.

"Goten, wake up." Bra said. Goten yawned and streched. "It's time."

Juunana and Pan walked up to the front desk. The nurse nodded and walked them down a hallway, and pointed them to a room, luckily a private room.

"Don't come in." Pan said.

"Like hell I'm going to leave you in there alone." Gohan yelled.

"Juunana, you come, you're the only one that won't blow up and kill him." She told him. The android nodded and followed. "You go in first, I want him to see you, then me."

Juunana walked into the room, it was a private room, the man was in a wheelchair turned towards the large picture window. "Knock knock." Juunana said, sarcastically. He turned and gasped when he saw him.

"So you do remember. Good, more fun for me." He said advancing. Pan grabbed the back of his shirt and came out from behind him.

"But do you remember me?" She asked.

"No, it can't be."

"Oh, it is." She said. "Juu you can wait here, I'm going to have a little talk."

"All right." He said and stepped to the side.

"You remember me, hmm?" She said advancing. "Does that mean you remember what you did to me?" She asked. He nodded.

"Good, then I won't have to tell you. You know, I could kill you, right now. Your in a wheelchair." She said. "But there are a few reasons why I won't."

"Why..? You could..you have every right to." The man said, he looked like he was about to wet himself.

"I could..." She said flaring into Super Saiyan. "Soo, easily." She taunted him. "You had me at an unfair advantage, just like I have you now. With your little buddies, and thier weapons, and I was too scared to move, and too human for bullets not to kill me." She said, slowly moving forward, five feet away now. "You are going to see what I saw, feel what I felt, know what you put me and my family and friends through." She said standing right in front of him. Pulling his face up. "Look me in the eye." She said, forcing his face up, and sending him the images of everything she had been through.

Him forcing himself into her, Juunana (almost) killing him, taking her home, her father and uncle finding out, her best friend comforting her, not being able to sleep without Juu.

"Do you see it? Do you see what you put me through?"

"I-" The man trailed off.

"My name is Son Pan, I want that name carved in your mind, and those images never forgotten. I could kill you right now, give myself justifictation, but that would give you so much satisfaction. Instead, you are going to live with the guilt of what you've done to me. What you've taken from me." She said backing up. "You should be thankful..there are five people out there and several more at home, just waiting to kill you. I told them not to. Juunana or myself could snap you in half without even thinking about it, but we won't. You've taken the one thing that I treasured most, that I could never get back. You took my virginity from me, and now you have to live with that knowledge, live with it." She snapped. "The one thing I couldn't figure out is why? Is it some sort of animalistic instinct? Are you too desperate to find someone willing? Why?" He didn't look at her, his face was down.

"Tears." She said. "How can such a monster shed tears? Are you crying for yourself, because you got caught? Because Juunana almost killed you and now you can't walk?" She forced his face up again, there were tears falling from his eyes. "Or is it because now you've seen what I've seen? Felt what I felt? Know what I know." She fell from Super Saiyan.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

"No your not!" She said. "You're only sorry that I won't kill you now. I have to much honor to take the cowardly road. I'm a warrior, I've risked my life to save your puny one, the lives of this entire planet numerous times. I fought against the fricken dragons for scum like you! My grandfather lost his life for scum like you." She said. "He would never take the cowardly road, so neither will I. I will move on, I have family and friends that love me and would willingly give up thier lives for me. I'm done crying over myself, I'll cry for you, because you will never have what I have, never know the love I know." She said stepping back again. "I feel sorry for you." She turned. "I forgive you. Maybe someday you'll be able to forgive yourself. Juunana-gou, let's go." Pan took Juunana's hand and left the room.

"Let's go daddy." Pan said. Gohan and the group left, except for Bra and Goten.

"We'll meet you at home." Goten said. Bra looked at him and he nodded, they entered the room.

"Pan may have forgiven you, but I never will." Goten said. "You took her most precious possesion, and for that, I should kill you. But I won't disprespect Pan in such a way."

"I'm sorry, I wish I could turn back time. Change what happened." He said, not looking up to meet Bra and Goten's accusing gazes.

"What's your name?" Bra asked.

"David." He said.

"You're very lucky, because if it would have been me." She said, going Super Saiyan. "I would have just killed you." She said, powering down.

"Of course bullets don't hurt me." She said flipping her hair. "So I would have killed you just for threatening me." She phased out behind him. "Cuz, I'm too fast for them to hit me." She phased back in front of him. "They can't even get close."

"Pan won't cry anymore." Goten said. "She's too strong."

"She'll never forget about it though. You do know that?" Bra said.

"I wish there was something I could do." He whispered.

"There is." Goten said. "Give her the honor of facing her."

"To appologize in person. Not while in the hospital, and only by your free will. Don't do it just because I told you to." Bra said and walked to the window and opened it.

"However, if you value your life, you won't go near her father. Do you remember Cell?" Bra asked.

"You were probably too young." Goten said. "I wasn't even born then, but no doubt you heard about it."

"Her father was the one that destroyed him." Bra said.

"We're leaving, but you better think long and hard about what you've done." Goten said taking Bra's hand. The two jumped out of the window and levitated in front. "If you value your life and dignity, you'll keep your pants on from now on." The two flew back to the Son house.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"We're back." Bra called.

"Hi Bra." Juunana said.

"Where is everyone?" She asked looking around.

"Gohan and Videl went for a walk." He said. "Pan's changing clothes."

"Oh, what are you still doing here?" Goten asked.

"She asked me to stay, I dunno why." He shrugged.

"Oh well. You hungry, Juu-kun?" Bra asked. "I sure am."

"Just a little." He said. Pan came down the stairs, she was wearing blue jeans and a green sweater.

"You okay, Panny?" Goten asked.

"I'm fine, Goten." She said, and gave him a hug, for the first time in days.

"It's good to have you back, Pan-chan." He said hugging her back.

"Hey Pan, do you want to come stay at Capsule Corporation for a few days? Do some training, I need to get back into shape, cuz stupid school doesn't let me do anything challenging for gym class. You know I ran the mile in .5 seconds?" Bra asked, coming out of the kitchen and holding a spatula. "You can stay with us too, Juu-kun, if you like. It's not like we don't have enough room."

"I'd love to, if my parents would let me." Pan said.

"Why would you want me to live there?" He asked.

"Well, ya know, with Marron pregnant and all, I thought you might be a little lonely. So you want to or not?" She asked.

"Sure, why not." He said.

"Great, I'll ask mom." Bra said, getting on the phone just as Gohan and Videl got back.

"Mom, daddy." Pan said. "Would you mind to much if I stayed at Capsule Corp for a while?" She asked. "Bra says it would be ok. We want to catch up on training and stuff."

"It's fine with me, Gohan?" Videl asked.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"I am, I just need to have some time to think about things." Pan said. "Do you mind?"

"I guess it's ok." Gohan said, hugging her. "Just be careful and don't go anywhere without B-chan, ok?"

"Ok daddy. Thank you." She said.

"My parents say it's ok." Bra said.

"Mine too." Pan said.

"Cool, let's go pack." Bra said dragging Pan up the stairs.

"I guess I'll be shoving off now." The cyborg said, standing up. "Ja 'ne, Gohan, Videl."

"Ja 'ne." Videl said.

"Bye, Juunana." Gohan said as he left.

::I wonder what they'd do if they knew I was staying at CC too.:: Juunana thought as he flew home. ::Oh well, I guess I'll go pack and meet Bra and Pan::

~*~*~*~*~*~

About an hour and a half later, Juunana-gou met Bra and Pan and the three flew to Capsule Corporation.

"Bulma-san..Bra said it would be alright if I stayed here." Juunana asked uncertainly.

"Of course, she already told me, I'll show you two your rooms." Bulma led them upstairs. "Your rooms are right next to Trunks' and Bra's, if you get lost just follow thier ki."

"That's a good idea, Bulma." Juunana told her. "I never thought of that."

"I know the inconvenience of this place, I didn't even know where my room was until I was 12." She explained. He laughed.

Pan and Juu-kun went to thier seperate rooms to unpack.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Things were starting to get back to normal, Pan was slowly becoming her normal self again, she and Bra had been doing some serious training ever since school had gotten out, and everything was fine until one night.

Pan was standing out on the balcony outside her room when she noticed Trunks also on his, she decided to fly over and say hi.

"Hi Trunks." She said.

"Hi Pan, what's up?" He asked.

"Not much, I was just thinking about stuff." She said.

"What stuff?" He asked.

"Just the things that have happened over the last few weeks." Pan explained.

"Oh. I see." Trunks gasped when he looked at her, she was absolutly beautiful. "How are you liking summer vacation so far?"

"It's fun. Bra and I have gotten a lot stronger." Pan said.

"Care to test that theory?" He asked grinning.

"Never could turn down a challenge." She said. They jumped off the balcony and into the yard. It was going pretty well until Trunks dodged a kick and started tickling her, they ended up rolling all over the lawn.

"Pan?" Trunks said.

"Hmm?" She asked.

"You're beautiful." He said and kissed her, and she kissed back. Trunks picked Pan up and levitated to his bedroom, and layed her on the bed. She was to scared to move or protest, Trunks climbed over her and kissed her neck and face.

::Oh, no.:: She thought. ::It's happening again.:: She was frozen.::Please stop, Trunks. Don't do this to me. Someone help:: She thought. ::Help me.::

***

Juunana woke up, he could have sworn he just heard Pan say Oh, no, it's happening again.

::Someone help::

"Pan!" He jumped out of bed and ran down the hall. He checked her room then came to Trunks' and heard panting. "Shit." He tried to open the door, but it was locked. "Oh well." He broke the door down.

"Trunks you idiot." He said.

"Juunana-gou? What the hell?" Trunks asked.

"Look at her you fool, she's so scared she can't even tell you to stop." Juunana-gou said pointing at her. Pan's face was frozen, she looked up at Trunks with fear in her eyes.

"Oh, Pan, I'm so sorry." Trunks said. He climbed off of her and looked down. "I didn't even think about if you wanted to or not."

"That's right, you didn't think." The cyborg said, he picked Pan up, grabbing her shirt, which was on the floor, and left. Juunana-gou carried her to her own room, she was crying softly now, he set her down and started to leave.

"Wait." He heard her say. "Please, just stay with me." He nodded and slowly walked over to the bed.

"Shh. It's ok. It's over now." He said, pulling her onto his lap.

"I was so scared. I felt just like I did that night...I didn't even try to stop him.." She burried her head in his shirt.

"It's ok, Panny." He said rubbing her back. ::Trunks, you idiot. Just as she was getting over it.:: Pan continued to cry.

"What's wrong with me, that everytime someone starts to make a move, I can't tell them to stop?" She wept.

"There's nothing wrong with you, Pan, you just get scared is all." He said.

"Why are all of them trying to get me to sleep with them?" She whimpered.

"Because your pretty, and smart, and fiery. There's nothing wrong with you at all." ::The problem is that your too perfect:: He thought.

"Then why didn't it happen to Bra?" Pan cried.

"I don't know, Panny, she's just more confident. It's not your fault." Juunana comforted.

She cried until she fell asleep. Juunana set her in the bed and covered her up. "Night Pan." He said before closing the door. ::Why do you have to be such a dolt, Trunks?::

***

Juunana walked by Trunks room, the door was still laying on the floor, and Trunks was laying face down on the bed. He looked up without moving his head. "Juunana, did my parents drop me on my head when I was little? Cuz I don't remember being this stupid." Trunks said, voice muffled by his bedding.

"I don't know, I was still trying to kill Goku when you were a baby." He said.

"Ugh." Trunks flipped over on his back. "Now I just lost one of my best friends. And..to top it off, if Goten or Gohan find out, I'll be deader than a doornail."

"I don't think Pan would tell anyone." He said. "But what on earth possessed you to do such a stupid thing?"

"I don't KNOW!" He said. "We were sparring, then I was tickling her, and she looked really beautiful. So I kissed her, and she kissed me back, and then I brought her in here. You know the rest. What the hell am I going to do?"

"Don't bother her. If she wants to talk about it, she'll come to you. Just don't avoid her, that will make her think you don't want to talk about it." He said coming into the room.

"I'm so stupid." Trunks said slapping a hand over his eyes.

"I do have to agree with you on that one, but at least I heard her." He said.

"Heard her?" Trunks said. "But she wasn't making any noise."

"I heard her say 'No not again, please help'...must've been telepathic." He said.

"Uh oh." Trunks said.

"What uh oh? I don't like the sound of that." Juunana-gou said, looking nervous.

"Well, you know how my mom and dad are a really strange couple right?" Trunks asked, and Juunana nodded. "Well the reason is that my dad bonded to her. It was a rare case, but she bonded back somehow."

"Bonded?" He looked more confused than nervous.

"Saiyans don't fall in love, they bond, it's an unbreakable thing...it's like love to the bagillionth power." Trunks explained.

"And you think she's bonded to me?" He asked. "But...I'm like three times her age." He protested.

"Doesn't matter." He said. "She probably doesn't even know it yet, but if she's bonded to you. You're stuck. If you don't love her back she might try and kill herself."

"Oh shit." He slid down the wall he was leaning against. "Shit. This can't be happening..I was sixteen when I was brought online...that was over thirty years ago."

"Your forty-six?" Trunks asked. "You look about 18."

"So do you!" He said.

"Yeah, but I'm a Saiyan, how old does my dad look?" Trunks said.

"And I'm a Cyborg you blockhead, I don't age." He said back.

"Oh yeah. I guess Juuhachi-gou still looks about the same age." He said. "She's a hot number."

"That's my sister your talking about!" He said looking up.

"Sorry, man, it's true." Trunks said.

"Haha, hot number.." Juunana said sarcastically. Trunks laughed. "So what am I supposed to do?"

"You'll just have to wait until she's ready to talk to you. She'll know she's bonded eventually, you just have to wait until she realizes it." Trunks advised.

"What are her parents going to do to me?" He asked suddenly.

"It's not your fault. Gohan should understand, I think he's bonded to Videl." Trunks said. "What about you?Do you love her, do you even like her?"

"I don't know..." He looked up. "She's pretty and smart and everything, but I'd never really thought about her romantically, since she's so young."

"So what do you think about her now, that you know she's interested?" The purple-haired warrior inquired.

"I definatly don't want to hurt her more, but I don't know...I guess I'll just have to wait and see." He said standing up. "I'm going to get some sleep."

"Night, Juu." He said.

"Night, Trunks." He said leaving the room.

Juunana-gou could only think one thing as he walked back to his room. ::Shit.::
