Easing the Pain

Chapter One

"Lord Frieza," kneeling before our false lord we are forced to address him with respect. "The purge on planet XV-138d was successful, but we weren't able to capture their king."

Looking to my left I could see Nappa sweating bullets, wondering who will be at fault, wondering who will be punished.

"Well my monkey pets," Frieza started. I hate that fucking nickname."I am very disappointed. You knew I wanted him as my new plaything."

Slamming his tail across the ground, he stalked towards us. It's like this every time. Nappa shouldn't even have worried. We all know Vegeta is his favorite one to beat on because our prince refuses to break. No other soldier "belonging" to the lizard has lasted more than a few months before breaking. Vegeta has lasted almost ten years.

"Vegeta, my little monkey prince," he said stroking his face with his disgusting tail. "What do you have to say for yourself, and your pathetic excuses for men?"

Nappa tensed. He is a pathetic excuse for a Saijan, but he doesn't like hearing it. I know I'm not pathetic, at least not in the eyes of those who truly insults have never worked on me. Vegeta though, he gets riled up too easy. "It's not our fault their king ran into the crossfire and killed himself. I'm sure he did that on purpose actually," my Prince glared at Frieza. "He probably had no interest in spending any amount of time alone with you...my lord." He finished patronizingly.

I closed my eyes when I saw the swish of Frieza's tail. I never like seeing my prince tortured like this. He's too young to suffer like this.

I hear the heart-stopping sound of bones breaking and open my eyes to see my prince being lifted by his neck with Frieza's tail.

"You are always such a disappointing failure to me Vegeta." Frieza continued to slam him against the wall. "Why must you be so frustrating?" Slam! "What is so hard Slam! about following Slam! instructions?" SLAM! He threw Vegeta to the ground. "You're dismissed. And Raditz, Vegeta has lost all access to the regen tanks until further notice."

Very delicately, I picked up my prince. Thankfully, Vegeta had lost consciousness so he wasn't currently suffering. I hoped so anyway. As we walked down the halls to our quarters, Nappa started trying to bark orders at me.

"Where do you think you're going with the prince? As the elite I'm in charge and I can take care of his wounds," Nappa leered at me.

I shuddered at the thought and gave Nappa a sneer, effectively throwing him off. "Go fuck yourself Nappa," I muttered to him before slamming and locking the door to my personal quarters.

After carrying Vegeta into my bathroom I gently removed all of our clothes and held him in the hot shower. I tried not to pay too much attention to the more attractive aspects of his maturing body as I cleaned his wounds.

Afterwards I bandaged him and carefully redressed him in clean pants before carrying him to bed.

Sighing I brushed his bangs out of his eyes. Someone this young shouldn't have to deal with being tortured every other week. No one is really prepared for something like that no matter what their age. "I wish I was powerful enough to protect you ouji-sama," I whispered.

Groaning Vegeta began to open his eyes. "Raditz? What happened?" He asked me with a startled look on his face. "What did Frieza do to me this time?"

I sighed for what felt like the hundredth time today and took on the task of informing my prince of the lizard's punishment.
