Forbidden

By: Guardian of the Darkness

Chapter One

A girl walked by the ocean, moon shining off of her bare milk white shoulders, a silver dress adorned her body and showed all the right curves, her hair pulled up tightly. She stepped into the ocean and turned around and smiled at him.

Vegeta awoke with a start, she seemed so familiar. He had been having this dream for weeks now. But he could not figure out who she was, he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. Getting up he walked over to his dresser and pulled out his training out fit.

How could he, the saiyan prince not have a mate or an heir yet? Kakkarot had two sons and his son had a daughter the age of eighteen, her name was Pan. Oh and then there was that chattering idiot, Bulma, who had a son named Simon and he was the same age as Pan. He was an exact replica of his father Yamcha. Of course he was left, with not even a son to name heir to the dead planet, Vegeta-sei.

Sighing he pulled the spandex shorts on and headed out to the Gravity Room just outside his small one roomed cabin. His cabin was located just on the outskirts of Satan City, he wasn't really the type to be where all the commotion was. As he started to train the door to the gravity room opened and in stepped the brat of Gohan's.

"You're late." he simply said.

"Sorry Vegeta I had to help dad with some stuff." Pan answered as she shed her clothes to reveal a training outfit underneath.

"Hmm. Just don't be late again."

Smirking she got into her fighting stance. Vegeta hmphed and got into his own fighting stance and waited for the quarter saiyan to make the first move. Just as always she got impatient and flew in to land a punch at his face, he caught her hand and looked straight into her eyes and then threw her across the room. She regained herself and once again flew in to attack him, inches from his face she disappeared and reappeared behind him, of course he was ready for this and dodged the kick aimed for his head, turning around he delivered a punch to her gut making her spit blood.

Wipping the blood from her mouth she looked on at the calm Vegeta, he had hardly moved and yet she had hardly even touched him. Her heart was pounding, and she knew it wasn't from all the work she was doing, it was something else... something Vegeta caused. She shook the thoughts from her head and flew in for yet another attack, as she was inches from his face once again she disappeared, he turned and she re-appeared where she had disappeared and gave him a solid hit to the back making him crash into the gravity room's wall. He turned around and wiped the small trickle of blood from his mouth and smirked up at her, she knew that smirk and got ready for anything, what she wasn't ready for was a good punch in the face while Vegeta still stood there on the floor. Flying through the air her back made contact with the wall and she slid to the floor and looked up to see Vegeta standing over her with that same smirk on his face.

"You cheated!" she complained as she stood and looked into his eyes. As they stood there for a few minutes she looked away and blushed, she turned on her heel and walked over to a towel and wiped the sweat off her face. She sighed and wondered how she would tell him this... but she had to tell him somehow.

"Vegeta..."

"What is it Brat?" He looked over to the saiyan female, without knowing his eyes roamed over her body. He immediately caught himself and looked away, he then looked back, she hadn't seemed to notice so he shrugged it off.

"Lately... I've been... never mind."

Vegeta looked at Pan and raised his brow, "come on brat out with it."

"No...It's nothing." said Pan. "Well, it's getting late and mom and dad will want me home for dinner. I'll be back after that." she said as she gathered up her clothes and headed for the door.

Vegeta nodded and got up from the bench and started to train on his own again. Before she was out of sight he called out, "brat don't be late again."

Pan looked at Vegeta, smiled and nodded. As he felt her KI leave he stopped his training and flew over to a bench and sat down to think. What was wrong with him? She made his heart race before they even started to spar. What had come over him lately? Getting up he started to spar on his own, pushing the thought far into the back of his mind as he always did.

One month later

Pan stood in her room, her grad dress a silver and crimson color. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, her heart raced and she turned around to look at her mother and Videl who stood there looking on at her with smiles on their faces. She then turned around once again and stared at the girl in the mirror, she was finally done with high school, she was graduating just as she had always dreamed. In fact probably everyone that would be graduating with her probably dreamed the same thing and she hoped they were as happy as she was in completing this sliver of a dream.

She didn't really like dresses but this one seemed to be an exception, her body was well toned from all the years of training with Vegeta. She was of medium height, not short nor tall, she wasn't skinny nor fat, hell she didn't even have an ounce of fat on her.

She turned around and looked at her mother and Bulma and walked over to them, they smiled at her and the three of them walked out of the room together and out to the living room where Gohan, Yamcha and Simon waited. Simon was one of the ones to graduate with her this year, she looked across the room to her uncle Goten and smiled at him, he smiled back at her and walked over and took her arm in his and together they walked to the car and got in.

"Thank you for being my escort Goten." she thanked him with a kiss on the cheek and he grinned that famous Son grin.

The grad went over well and after it they all headed out to master Roshi's for the party Bulma and Videl planned for her and Simon. She had insisted Vegeta be invited, Bulma and Videl had disagreed about that but in the end they let her have it her way and invited the Saiyan Prince.

She stood of to one corner of the house and watched as everyone talked and laughed about past things and the such. As usual she was left out, even though this was her day... well not just hers but Simon's as well. She looked around and didn't see Vegeta anywhere, she sighed and looked to the floor, he had been there earlier though. She looked up once again and scanned the room, a tear slid down her cheek and she headed for the back door.

Pan walked out of the house and walked to the edge of the beach and and took off her high heels. She walked to the water's edge and let the water run over her toes. She hated being around people, she had always been one for being alone and not in the company of much. She had found someone just like her, but he seemed just out of her grasp for he was someone who liked to be alone, and hadn't chosen a mate as of yet and would never... or so she believed.

Vegeta sat on the roof of Master Roshi's house, he hadn't wanted to come to this blasted party, but he had come for the sake of Pan. If it wasn't for her he wouldn't have come at all, he sighed and looked up to the stars, his non-exsistent planet was out there somewhere. He heard the door open and looked down to see Pan walk out of the house, he sat on the roof and watched her walk to the ocean's waters. He just sat up there for the time being and watched as she stood in the ocean, her dress floating about her in the ocean. He sighed and flew off the house and landed behind her, "why are you out here instead of in there brat?"

Startled Pan spun around and delivered a punch to his stomach making him fly ten feet, she blushed as she noticed who it was and immediately ran out of the water and to him, "Vegeta! I'm sorry... I didn't... I..."

"Brat... you may look like a girl... but you still punch like a man..."

Pan stared at him, wondering if she should take that as a compliment or an insult. With him she didn't even have a clue as to what to think on such things. In the end she punched him on the shoulder and gave him a look of hurt and turned around and walked back into the ocean and stood there. The bottom of Pan's silver and crimson gown was wet from the ocean water, but she didn't mind she was only going to wear it once and then put it away forever.

So this was who was in his dreams, this woman, this saiyan woman, quarter saiyan. She was so beautiful, he drew his brows together in thought about that last thing but was interrupted by her voice.

"Vegeta..."

"Hmm."

"Why did you not leave this planet? Why did you stay here when you could have still been the prince of some planet?" asked Pan. Vegeta looked at Pan and then looked at the stars, "there was no place for me...Almost all my race are gone but here at least I'm still around my race." he said as he looked back at her.

Pan knew that he never liked to talked about this stuff for he was too proud to admit anything. But he had told her things over the years that he never told anyone else. She knew how he felt for she to craved adventures and like him and his race, she felt as if she had to kill. She knew it wasn't right and she tried to ignore it but it ran in the saiyan blood.

"Do you ever regret leaving your home?" she asked him as she averted her gaze from him and out to the ocean, looking at the moon's reflection on the water's surface.

She averted her gaze from his, so he too looked back to the sky, "no cause if I was on the planet when it was destroyed I never would have been here right now."

Nodding she turned around and looked at him, she was glad he had left the planet before it had been destroyed, she walked passed him. "Well I better go back in...I'll see you later Vegeta-sama."

Vegeta watched Pan's retreating form and sighed, there was something about her... something that made his heart race and his mind whirl. Dare he say it... for he was the prince of a dead planet, he was in love with Pan. Turning around he too walked back to the house.
