Midnight Meetings
Vegeta scowled angrily as he watched Bulma from his dark corner of the bar. How dare she look at other men like that?! Why, why did she flirt with her eyes so? And was it truly necessary to wear those damn skirts?!
He glared at the man sitting next to her, smiling so welcomingly. Vegeta sat down next to her suddenly – the man quickly disappeared into the swelling crowd of people.
"Vegeta what is your problem?!" Bulma said frustrated – no one would talk to her because of him.
"My only problem is you. Why did you bring me to this place?"
"I thought it would be fun – my mistake." She paid for her drink and walked out of the nightclub. Vegeta followed her smugly, finally they could leave. He had not missed the tone in her voice though – he would be sleeping else where this night.
As they walked down the street something caught his eye. Down one of the ally ways – he turned to see what it had been. A quick flash, but he had sworn he saw a – no it couldn't be.
"Vegeta what are you doing?" Bulma called from further up the street. He glowered in that direction once more before rejoining his mate.
He had seen her, she knew. It was not safe for her to stay now. She quickly killed the man she had been toying with and left the alley. By morning she would be in a new city…
Vegeta could not fall asleep. The empty room he had chosen for the night frustrated him somehow. Perhaps it was knowing that he was here because Bulma did not want him with her this night. Or maybe…it was what he had thought he had seen…
Restless he walked over the window and stared out over the compound. Stars and moonlight lit the night. Throwing some clothes on he decided to go for a walk.
Aimlessly he wandered about the city, taking the paths where the moon did not shine. The dreary city night was filled with smoke and fog. The smells were not quite unpleasant to the Sayian.
He found himself walking back where he had sworn he saw it. Vegeta walked down the ally, very much aware of his surroundings. He anticipated an attack, but it did not come. A shame, a battle was exactly what he found himself looking for. Being that his mate refused him earlier…
The smell of death reeked from the dumpster. Vegeta growled – it smelled relatively fresh. Must have been killed this very evening.
He tore the corpse out of the dumpster with ease. Debris fell about him in a mess but he hardly cared. He needed to know if he was right.
The corpse was that of a young man, Vegeta could tell easily that he had been drained of blood. He swore as he dropped the body.
Vegeta peered into the darkness trying to see where it might have gone…
She turned suddenly atop the building, she could hear someone coming.
Vegeta flew up to look down upon the area, perhaps he would find them easier then.
Panicking she began running when she saw him rise up in the air. Heart thudding in her ears and blood hot in her veins. She leaped over to the next building and looked back to see if he had seen her.
He flew at her quickly, punch ready. It hit her hard, sending her flying across the roof top.
"What are you?" He demanded.
She looked up, licking the blood from her lips, her yellow eyes gleaming. She got up and looked him over. A Sayian – she had encountered his kind before…they were dangerous.
"Answer me or I'll kill you now!"
She hesitated before answering.
"A vampire my dear Sayian." She let her fangs show as she spoke. A delicate hand brushed her long gray hair back out of her face. Yellow cat eyes watched him carefully.
"You have seen my kind before?" Vegeta asked as he walked slightly closer to her.
"Yes." Large eyes glowed in the moon light. It was unnerving. She paused before continuing. "And you know of mine?"
"I thought your race had been eliminated a long time ago – after the Blood War. How it is that you are here?"
"...I guess you were wrong. I was born a long while after the wars had destroyed my race – scattering us to the edges of the universe. But here I am before you…"
"Why did you come to Earth?"
"Why not? It is a charming little planet; my race has visited it before. I thought I could do well here."
"Well you were wrong. Now prepare to die!" Vegeta growled lunging at her. She moved with amazing speed and dodged the kick. Managing to kick him in the balls while he looked around for her.
She slipped over the side of the building and fell to the ground, landing like a cat. She looked up to see Vegeta fly over the side after. He had recovered remarkably well from her kick. She punched him and threw him threw the wall; she was not going down easy. There was a reason the war had lasted so long, the races were well matched.
Vegeta climbed out and sent a ki blast after her, which she deflected. Flying after her he found her in another ally.
She hurled a red ball at him, catching him by surprise. The ball hit him in the mouth entering his body. Paralyzed he could do nothing.
He fell to the ground in a heap. She slinked forwards out of the shadow and knelt down. She brought his neck to her lips and drank.
Her mood turned, she stopped drinking just as she could feel his heart resonate in her ears. He was nearly drained…if she left him now he would recover, being a Sayian. However even knowing this she left him there in the dark.
The sun would be rising soon; she hurried to the edge of town.
Vegeta awoke as a pair of street urchins began rummaging threw his pants. He knocked them away as he stood up. His head throbbed as he made his way home.
He swore at his stupidity, he should have been prepared for her to do something like that…But why didn't she kill him? Surely she realized that he would be looking for her now? It frustrated him to no end, knowing that she had spared his life.
