A small figure raced through the dark, dense forest, fleeing from an unseen enemy, Jumping over fallen trees, dodging to miss low laying branches, she clutched the only thing dear to her. Her journal. She could almost smell the hot breath of her aggressors upon her. Her breath became harsh and more rapid than ever. She fell only once. That was when she lost her concentration and slammed her forehead against a low-lying tree branch. Her will to survive prevented her from falling into an unconscious state, but still dizzy and blood now trickling down her face, she got up and continued her course and ran as fast as her mind would let her. When she reached a clearing, she knew she would not be able to make it across for they would surly find her. She also sensed that this force would be upon her location within moments. Just a few feet beside her, were a fairly large pile of rocks. Scurrying over to it, she found a small entrance to the middle of this small mountain. She sat there, quiet as the air around her, forcing her breath to slow. Just then, two huge figures landed just a few feet away from her hiding place, But what really frightened her was that another creature landed right onto of the rocks she was hiding in. One of the two figures turned to the pile, "My Lord, I thought for sure it ran over here."

"Check your scouter, you not wit!" the one next to him said.

"Who are you calling a nit wit, Bardock? I aught to..." he raised a fist.

"NAPPA! Shut Up!" Chills ran down her spine and her heart nearly stopped when she recognized the voice. 'How can it be? I though he was dead.' Tears formed and rolled down her face as she thought about her past. 'I can't go through what I did seven years ago...' "Now will you just turn your scouter on? I want to get done with this now." He said, in a now more furious voice. Quickly, she remembered the name of the voice she was forced to say master to, "Ve... Vegeta" she quietly whispered but instantaneously, she covered her mouth, but it was too late. She blew her cover.

"What was that?" the same voice said. 'Oh shit.' was the last thing she thought before the protecting rocks violently moved aside, exposing her to her worst nightmare. "You..." Vegeta said, spying down on her with vengeful eyes, remembering her. She started to get up and run but her plan was quickly foiled when he slammed her to the ground face first, pinning her down with his weight on her back and each of her wrists in his crushing hands. The more she struggled to get away, the more force he applied to them, "Stop it now, or I will kill you." She did what he ordered.

"Please..." she pleaded.

"I always wandered where you ran off too," he said in a slightly caring manner. He eyed his catch and noticed that she was wearing very little clothing. Very short shorts, showing off her bruised and cut leggs, and plain white tank top. In the seven years away from him and his evil glare, her figure changed. She was only thirteen, not even a woman, when she escaped. But now she was twenty and fully develop. Taking in the sweet smell of victory, he asked her, "Now tat I have you back, what am I to do with you?" she quivered on a thought, "Nappa, give me that Ki dampening collar." He ran over and handed the small, yet effective device to him. One she thought she would never wear again, "I am not going to take any chances with you, little girl." He let go of her wrists and put the collar on. "I know what you can do." He sat up, still sitting on her back, grinning madly, as he watched her try to get the collar off. "It's no use. You know you can't get it off so you might as well stop trying while you are ahead." She did as she now knew she was defeated, "If you run, I will not hesitate to send you to another dimension." he warned as he stood up. She didn't dare move, for fear that the nightmare might start over again. She did notice, however, that the book she was clutching earlier, was now laying infront of her. 'Oh no,' she thought, 'I need to get that back.' But it was too late. The one called Bardock got to it first and picked it up.

"Hey! Look what I found!" he said in excitement.

"What is it?" Nappa asked.

"It looks like a book, you should try and read one for once." Nappa started to steam.

"Let me see that," Vegeta said, walking over to the pair. 'Here's my chance. If I run fast enough, I can get away.' "No, you can't," Vegeta said, glaring in her direction, "Now, come here." pointing to a spot in front of him. Fearing for her life and trying to spare herself from anymore pain, she slowly got up and walked to where he wanted her. Her left eye started to turn red from the cut she suffered earlier trickling down. With a trembling hand, she tried to wipe it away, also to wipe away the tears.

He now could see the front of her. She filled out the front of her top nicely, and her body was very toned, 'Probably from the training she might have had here.' he added to his thoughts. No doubt, if she didn't have the collar on, she would be a force to be reckoned with. "What is this?" he threw the book in her face.

"It.. It's my journal."

With a questionable look on his face, "Journal?" Vegeta looked down and noticed there was a lock on it. "Where is the key?"

"I don't know."

"Don't lie to me..." creeping towards her.

"I'm not," backing away, "I lost it a few years ago. Way after I left your service..." with a swift of his hand, she was knocked to the ground, clutching the side of her face.

"If you are lying to me, you know the concquences."

"I swear I lost it!" He bent over, grabbed a fist full of her hair, and yanked her to her feet to meet his face. Her hands fought his to let go. He once again eyed her up and down as she started to tremble. He thought to himself, 'Yup. She has grown. Just a mere girl from the last time I saw her, but now a full woman.' "Bardock!" he yelled, all the while, glaring into her eyes.

"Yes sir?" he said, running over.

Vegeta threw the helpless girl down and stood back up. Looking at him, "Taker her back to the ship, get her cleaned up, and in my chambers in three hours."

"Yes sir!" He said, bowing. And in an instant, Nappa and Vegeta flew off, leaving the girl in the others care, "Come on girl." he said grabbing her arm up forcing her to her feet. He put his arm around her waist, and flew off into the other direction.

'It has been so long. I thought she was gone forever,' Vegeta thought to himself, 'But now, once again, she is mine.' an evil grin spread across his face.

"Vegeta?" Nappa said, breaking him out of his train of thought. "That girl back there, was she..?" he couldn't remember her name.

"Yes, that was Princess Demini. The one that was lost to us seven years ago. But now, I have her back."

"That's right. She was the one that escaped you when Freeza came and destroyed our planet."

"Vegeta was getting irritated, "Shut up. She didn't escape, I simply lost her."

"Oh." and they continued their flight to the main city on this planet in silence.

When they got there, they looked around and saw strange, small creatures. The city smelt of rancid milk, and the buildings were built out of wood from the forest that surrounded it. But the things that inhabited it were not taller than four feet and no legs. Just one slimly, foot, like a snail. All the aspects of a snail except the shell was smaller and thin, long arms. When they landed, on what looked to be the heart of the city, everyone stopped and started to stare at the strangers. Suddenly, Vegeta grabbed one by the back of the shell.

Roughly he asked, "Where is your palace?"

"Nep kros." was it's only reply.

"Cap. Ah screw it. Nappa!"Vegeta yelled, after he vaporized the creature he had in his grasp, "Just kill them all." he ordered.

Nappa's eyes lit up with anticipation, as he formed an energy ball in his hand, "My pleasure," and he released it, making it zip past Vegeta and leveled half of the city.

"I said kill them, not destroy the place. This our new home, and I don't want it demolished before we even get to move in." He yelled, making his partner cringe back, "Let's just go and find the damn palace." and they once again, took to the air.

Demini was frantically looking for a way out of what appeared to be Vegeta's quarters. A huge bed stuck out in the middle of the room, and two other doors off to the left. Not much for decoration but then there was a fairly large window that let her see the planet that she called home for so long beneath her. But she was dreading what will happen when he does arrive. But what they gave her to wear, disgusted her and was very reviling. She had on a red, bikini type out fit except for the top, which gave her some support. This was the traditional Sayi-jin, female fighting uniform. Her hair was braided tightly back and white gloves and boots finished it all. "I hated this as a kid and I still hate it now," She said while looking at it for a second. Just then, the door slid open. There stood Vegeta, arms crossed and a very angry look on his face. Instantly, She hunkered down into a fighting stance, and all he did was grin, "I thought you were dead." Glaring at him.

"Likewise, my dear," he stepped in and lowered his arms, "For seven years, I thought you were deceased. But, here you are," he removed his armor, and walked toward her, "and all grown up I see."
