Chapter One: "Finding The Princess"

"Oy!! Wake up lazy!"

"Five more minutes mommy…" Turning over, I attempted to put a pillow over my head.

"Oh, hurry will you? Your pod has been beeping!" Escargot; One of my first friends on this planet of Namek.

At this news, I sat up and was out of the bed in half a second. "You serious?"

He nodded, being nearly my height of 5'9" he took my hand and led me out of the small house I had built years ago when I had first come to this small village to destroy the inhabitants. That was changed when I had met Escargot, he convinced me my Saiyajin ways were unnecessary, and to give them a month to try and convince me that it wasn't worth to destroy them. After a while, I decided to not go back to Planet Vegeta. I renounced my line completely, I didn't even know my father… Mother died during my birth, my brother was always gone on his own missions, so I had no ties. They probably didn't even notice I was gone until now, how long has it been?? Ah, about 7 years. I was nearly sixteen now.

I wore the latest 'fashion' on the planet, just robes, they were comfortable, so I didn't mind much. I had to dye them my colors though. Everyone got a kick out of them.

As we ran to where my pod had fallen nearly a kilo away, my Saiyajin tail wrapped around my waist, "When did it start?"

"About an hour ago, you're a heavy sleeper." He laughed.

"Yeah, I get that a lot." I laughed along with him, my black hair had grown out to my knees, some of my other friends had put it in a pony tail to make it look less messy. I don't think it worked, but I didn't mind it as much.

"It's been a while since we were here last… Huh?" He commented, almost as if he was reminiscing.

I merely laughed, "Just a few years." My tone softened as I began to think of the same thing, "We haven't come back here since we met, remember? I had you pinned underneath me, crying."

He jabbed me playfully in the arm, "If I remember right, it was I who had you against a tree trying to yell at you to get my words through your thick skull."

"Oh yeah." We both shared a laugh, as we reached the pod. I almost didn't see it, the grass of the planet had all but grown on it, but there was a loud beeping, if I remember right, "It's a call?" I blinked, glanced to Escargot, then we both jumped into the crater, floating to the bottom.

A few brushes the debris and grass came right off, showing the pod I had came in.

We glanced to each other, then nodded. With a press of a button, the pod clanked, and with a soft hiss the door opened. It looked untouched, save the dust and small plant life that had seeped through the door's cracks. On the panel, a red button was flashing, in tune with the beeps.

"What is it?"

"If I remember, it's a call.. From another pod."

"Are they looking for you?"

We had worried about this for some time, but as the years passed on, the less we worried. With a shrug, I looked at him, "Should I answer?"

"No." His response was quick, "They won't bother us if they think you're dead…"

I nodded, "Alright, well I guess… Bury it?"

"Or throw it into the lake."

"Let's do that." With a grin, I slid out of the seat, we both took a hold of the bottom of the pod, lifted, and took flight. It didn't take us long to reach the lake, once we got over a dark area, we just dropped it.

"Now, I'm hungry!" Hell, I was a Saiyajin.

Escargot laughed, "Oh come then, I'll feed you." And like that, we took off for another uneventful day.

A few weeks had past, and nothing out of the ordinary had happened. We were just lounging around in the water, half my body was nearly covered in the cold water, wearing only underclothing. I didn't need to worry, I mean come on, they aren't male nor female.

Escargot was somewhere under the water, but he knew better then to surprise attack me. More so when I was relaxing.

I had my eyes closed, I heard Escargot resurface, then gasp.

My eyes snapped open, and I sat up. His attention was drawn to the sky, mine was there not long after. Five gleaming lights were falling across the sky. Pods. I cursed, "Esk! We gotta go warn the elder!" I was up and gone by the time Escargot was out of the water.

"Elder!" I crashed into the ground, creating skid marks. "Listen, five pods are closing here. There's no telling if their friendly or enemies." I was speaking so fast that I don't even know if he understood me, "I need you to get the word out to go into hiding, and do not come out until I can give you all the word. I think their here for me…"

"You know we ca…"

I cut him off, "Please Elder, You've raised me like I was your own, it's my turn to return the favor."

He was silent, but then nodded. "I'll get everyone into our shelters…"

"I'll go see who they are…" As I was turning, the elders' hand caught my shoulder, "Please stay safe, and return to us." He whispered.

I smiled, turned around and hugged him. "Of course I'll be back." With a pat on his back, I then took off towards the direction of the streaks of light.

Landing a few good yards away, I jumped the rest of the way to the opening where I had saw them crash. Hiding behind a rock, I was panting a little, I had no reason to train while on this planet, other then the occasional spar Escargot and I had.

"She's here somewhere eh?"

"Aye, we have direct orders to get her and get out. No side attractions along the way."

"Yes Capt'n!" The others all said this in unison, I chanced to glance around the rock, I was on their side vision, far enough I believe they wouldn't see me from the corner of their eyes.

From what I could see, the Purple one with huge horns coming from his head was the leader of their group. A small green skinned, four eyed thing. A orange skinned, white haired male. A flesh skinned, red haired male. And a Blue skinned, red eyed male… Why did they seem so familiar?

"Oy Capt'n." It was the Blue Skinned one.

"What is it Burter?"

"We don't need to look far." He then vanished.

I flinched, glancing around, only to feel a hand on my shoulder. This send warning shocks down my spine, the four others soon joined us. "Way to go!" The Flesh Skinned one grinned.

Craaaaaap, why didn't I notice how big they all were before? His grip was strong on my shoulder, I knew I couldn't get free. I tried to put a strong front on while they all stared at me. The Orange one though didn't look… anything at all, he just stared. Everyone else was grinning.

"Here you are Princess, you look well." The 'Leader' the purple one, he actually looked devious.

"I renounced that title long ago." My voice was hard, but small.

A few chuckles from a couple of the members, "Your brother sent us to fetch you." The 'Capt'n' said, ignoring my words.

This through me, I couldn't even remember his name, let alone what he looked like. "Far as I'm concerned, I have no brother. You can tell him I refuse to return."

A few more chuckles, "Burter, she'll ride with you." He merely responded.

I flinched, but before I could open my mouth to protest, the orange one interrupted. "I have more room in my pod Capt'n, she would feel more comfortable with me."

"You were friends with her when she was younger, weren't you?" The Capt'n.

I blinked, looking to the orange man, trying to identify him, but I couldn't.

He wasn't looking at me, he just nodded.

"That's fine with me. Let's head out." He turned and began to walk to the crater with his pod.

Burter dragged me over to where the orange one stood, as hands were exchanged and I was now in the orange males possession.

Burter and the others walked to their pods, while I was prodded gently by the orange male, he was holding my hand and my shoulder as he stood behind me. "Come on Sheila." His voice was low.

Of course I was to put up a struggle, the others were hanging out by their pods to make sure I guess that I was in the pod with orange man, but I wasn't about to go easy. I tried to struggle, "Let me go."

"I can't do tha'." He murmured lowly, before I could really struggle anymore, in a swift movement his left arm was supporting my back, and my legs supported by his right. Holding me to him, he walked over to his pod.

"Oh yes you can, you can just drop your arms." It was far to late though, He climbed into the pod, it was a one seater. Figures. Before the pod closed, I saw Escargot in the distance, "Esk!! I'll be back! Don't worry about me!" I shouted to him.

"I'll wait!! Come back soon!" He responded, and the door was closed.

I tried to get loose, but the ship was in motion. "L-Let me Go!" I tried my last time…

The Orange man shook his head, he was silent, all the while not looking directly at me, always to the side.

"At least look at me!" I was squirming in his arms like mad, we were out of Namek's atmosphere, and were well into space by the time I had given up on the fighting. He had never looked at me.

Now I lay on his lap since he refused to let me move, my arms over my chest staring to the side. My eyes slid close a couple times, as I tried to think, but thinking wasn't my strong point.

At some point my head fell to the side, hitting the side of the door which wasn't padded. I winced, it wasn't bad just sudden.

Though this got a response out of him, he swiftly looked to me, "Ya okah?" His one hand moved to where I was holding my head, his eyes now boring into mine.

My eyes widened, staring at him, "Y-Yeah." I tried to move his hand away, he allowed this as I curled up a little.

"Rela' Sheila…" He whispered lightly, actually leaning down to whisper into my ear.

I could already feel my face darkening, laying my hand onto his chest, I tried to push away, but he wouldn't allow that.

With the free hand that I had brushed away, I had regretted this soon as he laid it on my cheek, he was to powerful for me to brush it away, I tried obviously. He made me stare into his eyes, "I've misse' ya…" He whispered, before I knew it his lips were on mine.
