A 26-year-old woman with long black hair and the eyes to match walked into the building. Another 26-year-old woman walked up to her. She had the same hair and eye color as the first only a bit lighter in color. "Hey, Chi-Chi, I thought you weren't going to make it for tonight's meeting," she stated.
"Well, Bulma, I got my brother to cover for me. Vegeta can come in handy at times," Chi-Chi stated.
Bulma frowned. "Oh," she said. A short bald man walked up with a woman with blonde hair down to her shoulders and blue eyes at his side and a green man behind them.
Chi-Chi smiled. "Hey, Krillin, 18, Piccolo," said.
"The meetings about to start. You guys are going to love today's speech," Bulma said running up to the podium. There were around twenty other people there. All of which had black hair and black eyes.
Bulma cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "Today I am going to give a speech about what we are doing and why. For I know some of you doubt we can do this, but I know we can succeed. We are going to end enslavement of humans. For years, we have been at the will of the Saiyans, and it is time for it to stop. We deserve to walk our own path of life. Not to let someone else tell us what to do and when. We are going to stand together and fight for our cause. Too many people have lived their whole lives as slaves. Do we want that? Do we want our children's lives like that? I say hell no. I say we stand up for ourselves and fight for the better good!" she stated lifting her arms in the air, "who's with me?" Everyone started to cheer. Bulma smiled widely and walked back over to her friends. They all were grinning from ear to ear.
"Great speech, Bulma," Krillin stated. Chi-Chi nodded in agreement.
"You totally inspired all of us,' 18 said.
"Thank you guys. I hope I've washed away everyone's doubts. Together we can win this fight. We can beat the Saiyans," Bulma hoped.
"Yeah, stupid overgrown monkeys. No offense Chi-Chi, but most Saiyans are," 18 stated. "It's okay, but I got to go. Vegeta wasn't going to cover for long. See ya" Chi-Chi said turning around.
"Bye Chi-Chi," Bulma, Krillin, Piccolo, and 18 said waving.
At the palaceChi-Chi snuck into the back of the palace and started walking down the hall. She walked into her room. Vegeta was sitting on her purple couch. He looked exactly like their father excluding the beard. He had the same midnight black eyes. Same hair that spiked up like a cat's when it's frightened. He looked at her and stood up. "About time you got here. I have a life you know," Vegeta said.
"Yeah, like what? Oh, yeah, you have to find a mate before you turn 28, so you can become king. Why don't you do that instead?" Chi-Chi suggested.
Vegeta glared at her. "You know I don't want a female bugging me," he stated.
"I know I just love to annoy you," Chi-Chi stated rolling her eyes, "how was Gohan? Did he behave?"
Vegeta frowned. "He fell asleep about an hour ago. He kept bugging me, asking the same questions over and over. I kept telling him I only knew the answer to one not telling him it though but he doesn't listen very well," Vegeta stated.
Chi-Chi raised an eyebrow. "What question could he possibly asked that the 'mighty' Prince of Saiyans can't answer?" Chi-Chi asked.
Vegeta looked seriously at her. "He asked who his father was and why he wasn't around," he stated. Chi-Chi frowned. "He's nine years old, Chi, he deserves to know. Hell, I deserve to know the guy's name too," Vegeta continued.
"I…I told you no one can know his name. I don't want him to be in danger." Chi-Chi stated tears forming in the back of her eyes just thinking about it.
"I understand that, but Gohan doesn't. You need to explain it to him. You can't avoid it much longer. Not that it's any of my business, I'm going," Vegeta said walking to the door.
"Night Vegeta," Chi-Chi said smiling at him weakly.
"Night, lil sis," Vegeta smirked walking out the door, closing it behind him.
As soon as the door shut Chi-Chi fell to her knees and sobbed. She wiped her tears and got up. "Stop crying Chi-Chi. You need to be strong. You need to be strong for Gohan," she told herself. She got her pajamas on and slid into bed. She couldn't sleep. 'You can't avoid it much longer' 'I know I can't but how do you explain to a child that his daddy just can't be here. If only he could be. Things would be so much better. Stupid Father and his stupid rules,' she thought to herself. She thought of the whole ordeal that happened a little over ten years ago….
Ten years ago (she's 16)
Chi-Chi was walking down the corridor entering the mess hall. "Hey, Princess Chi-Chi," came a voice from behind her. She turned around and smiled. There stood her brother's best friend (and only friend since he refused to trust anyone else) and her longtime crush, Kakarot. He had black hair spiking in every direction and inky eyes and that cute grin of his. Kakarot was a year older than she was. "Hello, Kakarot," she said. Vegeta walked up.
"Hey bro," Chi-Chi said.
"Hey" Vegeta said.
"What have you two been up to?" Chi-Chi asked looking at Kakarot with adoring eyes. "Nothing much. Just sparring," Kakarot answered looking at her in awe. Vegeta was looking at the food being brought in. He walked over to the table and sat down.
Chi-Chi stood on her tiptoes. "Meet me at the VCCKB cave at midnight" she whispered into his ear. He nodded.
"Kakarot, Chi-Chi get over here before I decide to eat all the food myself!" Vegeta said to them. Chi-Chi and Kakarot scrambled to the table.
Midnight
Chi-Chi was soaking wet when she entered the cave. It was storming outside. She was lucky she had blackmailed Vegeta to cover for her absence. She shivered. She walked further into the cave. She turned on a lamp. There were couches and a TV as well as a fridge and cabinet in the cave. (You'll know why later) Chi-Chi hadn't been up here in ages. She grabbed a blanket from the cabinet. She sat down on a couch. 'Where is he?' she thought. Just then she heard footsteps. She looked behind her. Kakarot was just as soaked as she was. She smiled. He also smiled as he sat down next to her. "So, why'd you want me to come here?" he asked with a smile. Her cheeks turned pink, but that was hard to tell since the lighting was so dim.
"Well…I…you see…" she stuttered. She fiddled with her fingers and looked down.
Kakarot chuckled. "I know. I have feelings for you too," he admitted. Chi-Chi looked up at him, stunned.
"You…you…do?" she asked smiling.
"Yeah. I think you are the most beautiful woman I have and ever will lay eyes on. Whenever you look at me, laugh, or simply smile my heart skips a beat. I have most definitely fallen for you," he stated with the grin that made Chi-Chi's heart melt.
"I feel the same way about you," she said smiling.
"I'm glad," he stated then he frowned, "but that does not change our situation. You are the princess where as I am a mere third class. I'm not worthy of your love and devotion." He avoided eye contact with her.
Chi-Chi frowned. "But you do Kakarot. I have never felt this way about anyone before. We are destined to be together. I just know it," she stated.
"If we were destined then things would be different. I wouldn't be of the class and standards that I have. Princess Chi-Chi, you are young yet. When the time comes you will find true love and you'll be happier than you ever would have been with me," he stated turning his gaze back to her.
Chi-Chi clung herself to him. "NO, you are wrong you are the only one for me. I'll talk to Daddy I'm sure he'd allow it with some persuasion," she stated.
Kakarot smiled sadly and pulled her away. He looked at her. She was crying. "Listen, that is where you are wrong. King Vegeta is stubborn. More stubborn than Prince Vegeta even. Plus he is very protective of you. He'll only want the best elites for you, you know that," he stated.
Chi-Chi looked at him. "If you truly feel about me like you said it wouldn't matter to you. I'm willing to take a few risks. Daddy would never find out, I always have hidden things from him that he still doesn't know about. Well, I guess I wasn't hiding a Saiyan but still I can keep things from him nonetheless" she stated sternly.
Kakarot thought for a minute. "You win. I can't deny these feelings I have for you. I just wanted what I thought was best for you, but you have proven you are quite stubborn like your father and brother," he said.
Chi-Chi squealed in delight and kissed him on the lips, tossing her arms around his neck. He responded by putting his arms loosely around her thin waist. They pulled back, flushed.
"It's getting late. We should go. Prince Vegeta can't cover for you forever," Kakarot stated.
"Alright but meet me here again tomorrow night same time, ok?" she asked.
Kakarot nodded. "Alright," he said getting up. She also got off the couch. They left the cave and headed toward the castle.
End of flashback
Chi-Chi smiled at the memory and drifted to sleep.
Vegeta's P.O.V.
'Stupid little sister, making me worry about her. As if I don't have enough problems of my own. I have to find a damned forsaken mate in three measly months. I hate all of the women Father has suggested. If only she had stayed. Then I wouldn't have to think twice. She was quite beautiful bet even more by now. Ugh, stop thinking about her Vegeta. She left you twelve years ago. Twelve years! She's not coming back,' he thought. His mind drifted to twelve years ago.
Another Flashback
A 15-year-old Vegeta was walking up to the hill, which had the cave he and his friends, hung out on top of it. He was going to meet her there. Sure enough when he reached the top of the hill, she was waiting for him, sitting in the swing attached to the tree. Her gorgeous sky blue hair blowing in the wind. She looked at him with her eyes that had the color of the sea within them. "Hey, Veggie bear," she said. He walked up to her and gave her a swift kiss on the lips.
"You know, I should bop you for saying that stupid name," Vegeta said smirking.
"I know, but you wouldn't. I'm too precious," she stated smiling.
"Whatever you say woman," Vegeta stated.
"Okay, then would you mind giving me a push?" she asked.
Vegeta walked behind her and pushed her back, making her go up in her swing. She giggled. She kicked her legs up and down.
"You know, Vegeta, you aren't as bad as people say you are," she stated while up in the air.
"What do you mean by that woman?" Vegeta asked as he gave her another push.
"I don't know. It's just people say you are a loner and don't care for anything. I think that is completely untrue. Okay, you have your moments when you can be a jackass, but other than that I think you're a wonderful guy, Vegeta," she stated.
Vegeta smirked. "Thanks for the compliment woman," he said.
"Anytime, Veggie," she said kicking her legs up. She jumped off the swings gracefully and landed on her feet.
"Ta da," she said giving a bow.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "You think you are all that," he stated.
She looked at him. "Hey you think you are too," she said.
"True," Vegeta stated. They both laughed. Vegeta's face then became serious. "Woman," he began.
"Yes, Vegeta?" she asked walking up to him.
"Well, you know we've been together for awhile and well… you know it's not right, but neither of us care. Well, you see I think it's time to talk to my father about it," he stated. She raised an eyebrow at him.
"What I'm trying to say, woman, is that well…you know… I lo…lo…love you and would be honored if you'd be my mate," he finished, blushing red as if he had just eaten five hot peppers at once.
She broke out into a wide smile and threw her arms around him. She kissed him hard on the lips. "Oh, Vegeta. I love you too, and I would be honored to be your mate," she said.
Vegeta smiled (and yes it's a real smile people not a smirk). He wrapped his arms securely around her waist. "Good because I wasn't going to take no for an answer," he stated.
"I love you so much, Vegeta, but do you think your father will listen to reason. I mean, I'm a slave, Vegeta. A slave. I don't know how he'd feel about the next queen of Vegeta-sai to be a human," she said frowning.
"Do you think I care what my father thinks? I'm not going to back down and be forced to mate with someone I have no feelings toward. All that matters to me is that you fell the same way. Nothing else matters. My father can think what he wants, but it's my decision to make not his. Of course I'll talk to him to see if he will support this, us. But if he doesn't then I don't give a fuck. I choose my path, not him," Vegeta stated, confidently.
End of flashback
'We never had a chance did we? My father always gets what he wants and in this case he did. I hate him for what he did. I always will.' Vegeta thought.
Flashback (three days after the last one)
"But Father," Vegeta said.
"No, buts Vegeta. I will not allow you to contaminate the Saiyan race. Honestly, what were you thinking? That I would support this? Well, I certainly will not. I won't stand by and watch you ruin this planet," King Vegeta bellowed.
"Father, I don't care what you think. I will have her as my queen whether you like it or not," Vegeta stated.
"No you won't," King Vegeta smirked, "you're too late Vegeta. I caught onto your feelings for her a long time ago. I allowed someone to buy her and her pathetic family. It's too late. They were taken away this morning. You'll never see her again, Vegeta. You've failed her."
Vegeta was flabbergasted. "No, no. You're wrong she's not gone," he said trembling.
King Vegeta laughed evilly. Vegeta couldn't take it any more, he ran out of the throne room and for the first time since his mother had died, he cried. He cried while he was running down the hall. He ran into his sister. She was blocking his path.
"Vegeta, what's wrong?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Go away," Vegeta ordered, tears still falling from his eyes.
Chi-Chi face softened. "Not until you tell me why you are crying," she said in a soft tone.
Vegeta wiped his eyes. "I was not crying. I merely had something on my eye," he stated.
Chi-Chi looked at him unbelieving.
"Chi-Chi he took her away. He took her away from me forever. How could he do this to me, Chi? How could he?" Vegeta asked in a whisper.
Chi-Chi understood and wrapped her brother in a hug. He started to cry on her shoulder (I know very unVegeta like but think about it. His father just took away the thing that meant most to him. Wouldn't you be crying if that happened to you?) "Shh, it's going to be okay, Chi-Chi soothed.
"No it's not. It'll never be okay, Chi-Chi, don't you understand. I'll never see her pretty face. Or feel the softness of her skin. Or hear her gorgeous laugh. Or even see that smile of hers that always made me feel better. She's gone Chi-Chi. She's gone forever," Vegeta stated pulling away from his sister.
"Don't say that Vegeta. Of course you'll see her again. Someday, you'll hear her laugh, see her smile on her pretty face, you'll be able to hold her again. You'll see Vegeta. Love always has its ways. Nothing, not even Daddy, can stop love. You'll see her again, Vegeta. I just know it," Chi-Chi stated.
Vegeta wiped his tears. "You really think so?" he asked.
"I know so," Chi-Chi said smiling.
End of flashback
Since that day Vegeta had been hoping, but he was sick of waiting. He only had three more months. 'Chi-Chi was wrong. There is no chance for me to be happy again. I refuse to be that weak again. I won't be hurt like that again. I'll never be able to love again. Damn you Father. Damn you all the way to hell.' He thought.
Next time: Bulma encounters Vegeta for the first time in almost thirteen years. How will she react? Find out next time.
Okay I bet you have a lot of questions well here's some info.
Bulma: From the day she was born she was a slave. Her mother died giving birth. She first was a slave at the palace then was sent to a house in the kingdom at the age of fourteen because of King Vegeta. Her 2nd masters had been cruel to her. She was always beaten for sassing back or not doing something right. One of the times her master lashed a whip at her, leaving a scar on her right shoulder. Another time her father had stepped in and his owner had killed him right in front of her eyes. That was when she was twelve. At the age of seventeen, she had escaped her owners. She had dyed her hair black and gotten contacts. She could pass as a Saiyan unless one asked why she didn't have a tail. She always had said it was cut off during a mission. Her owners never did try to find her. They had plenty other slaves. Bulma had a vow to herself that she would find a way to free all humans. Even if it took her life. She is the leader of the S.O.F.S. Secret Organization of Freeing Slaves.
Chi-Chi: She is the princess of Vegeta-sai. She was always spoiled and never took a care into the slaves. Until, when she was eight she had seen a slave get slaughtered by her owner for stealing food from the table to feed her three- year- old. From that day forth Chi-Chi had treated slaves with respect, and would try anything to help them out. She has a nine-year-old son named Gohan.
Vegeta: Prince of all Saiyans. Can be grumpy and stubborn sometimes but he is vulnerable on the inside (don't tell him I wrote that). Must find a mate by the time he turns 28 in three months. He is a nice brother toward Chi-Chi and has a soft spot for his nephew (Don't say any of this to him, he'll deny it.) Did find the love of his life but his father did not approve of his feelings.
Krillin: Also a runaway slave.
18: One of Chi-Chi's servants but treated as one of her closest friends.
Piccolo: He is a Namekian. Ran away from his planet to seek a better cause. Found it when he ran into Bulma.
Kakarot: A third class Saiyan. Nobody he knows has seen him in ten years.
King Vegeta: Very evil for what he did to his OWN children.
So, what'd you think? Was it good? Or did it totally suck? Please tell me in a review. I want to know what you think of it. Please and thank you.
