Kakorroto sat in his thrown rather bored. He was hosting a ball for Prince Vegeta's victory on Yardrat. He was the ruler of earth. The prince gave it to him as a gift. He sighed and looked over the floor. Everyone was dancing, but him. And he didn't want to dance. He hated even being here. He wanted to go and train some more. A slave of his screamed out and ran into the middle of the dance floor holding a knife. Everyone took a step back, but Kakorroto. He watched her amusingly. "Everyone, stay back! Lord Kakorroto, set me and the other slaves free!" Kakorroto smirked. He stood up and slowly desended the stairs. The woman took a step back nervously. He reached the last step and stopped so that he would be taller than everyone in the room. Though, there were only a few people taller than him in this world. He held up his hand and pointed the palm of it towards her. Without a second thought he sent her to the next dimension. His cold eyes scanned the room daring anyone to test his power. When he felt satisfied that no one was going to test him he cleared his throat.
"Let that be a lesson to all you pathetic slaves. You are slaves. You have no rights. Because you are property. Do not step out of line again." He turned around smirking as he climbed back up the stairs. Prehapes this evening wasn't so boring after all. He took a seat at his lush throne and raised his fingers demanding that the music should start again. Everyone began except for one woman who quickly left the room.
Chichi walked quickly into the cool night air. Her light purple ball gown was blowing freely in the nights breeze. That was the last straw. She had been living on earth all her life. It was once a peaceful one. There was no fear. Everyone was happy, until Kakorroto came. He came only a year ago and took over earth in a day. What was scary for her was that he came on her fourteeth birthday. Today was her fifteenth. In that single year she turned from a teenager to an adult. Teenagers are not completely innocent. But they still are to a small degree. They haven't seen death and battle. All they care about is being able to have fun with their friends. But Chichi was more worried about taking care of her father and the rebelion. Yes, a rebelion. One that would get rid of the earths strongest man, Lord Kakorroto. Unfortunantly, everyone was scared of him so she only had a few followers. But she had some patience and common sense. She could gather more people through time. She smirked and climed into her father's carrige waiting for him to come back. Her father was also part of this rebelion, and that was good because he was part of the earth's top society. The society that influenced Lord Kakorroto. That meant she would inherate those titles too. She closed her eyes only for a second, just to rest them. But she found herself asleep.
Lord Kakorroto got out of his chair and decided to take a walk. He was bored. Beyond bored. Many people watched him as he walked out into the night, but he didn't care. All he wanted was something worth doing. He decided to go look at the carriges. There was usually no one around them during this point in the ball. He sighed and took slow steps down the wooded path. His slaves did a good job decorating with all the lights. He eventually reached them and noticed that The Ox Kings carrige was lit up. "Now who could be in there," He said outloud. "I guess I had better go check it out and punish whoever it is." He smirked and quickend his pace over to it. When he looked inside he saw a girl maybe a year younger than him lightly sleeping. She looked to be of royal blood, but one must never be to careful. "My lady." Chichi opened her eyes startled. "May I ask what you are doing out here and who you are?" She rubbed her eyes until they were in focus and she could see who she was talking to.
"Oh, Lord Kakorroto! I was just getting some rest."
"That is nice, but who are you?"
"I am the Ox King' daughter, Chichi."
"Ah, yes Chichi. Is this boring you too?"
"You are bored at your own ball?"
"It is a ball for a friend." She must have looked confused. "What, you don't think I have friends because I am a cold heartless killer?"
"I didn't..." Kakorroto sighed. No one could ever have a real conversation with him because they were all too afraid.
"Chichi, do me a favor. Pretend I am not Kakorroto."
"Why?"
"I need to talk to someone."
"Uh...okay." ~Weird? I never really imagined him this way.~
"Now, no matter what you say I will not punish you. Is that clear?" She nodded. "Good."
"So what do you want to talk about?"
"Life." He paused for a moment and looked into her eyes. ~Beautiful. That is the only word to describe her. No, it doesn't even come close. She is beyond any beauty I have ever seen before. I would not mind her being my mate.~ "Tell me, what do you really think of me?"
"You are a cold ruthless killer who doesn't give a damn about anyone else." He laughed a little bit. She smiled and opened the door to the carrige. "You can come in and sit down." He stepped in shutting the door behind him.
"How old are you Chichi?"
"Fifteen."
"When did you turn that?"
"Today is my birthday."
"Oh. Then congradulations. Is that what I am exposed to say? I don't think that sounds right." She giggled. And then she noticed that he was serious. He really didn't know.
"You are exposed to say happy birthday."
"Oh. Then happy birthday Chichi."
"Thank you. How old are you?"
"I turned sixteen about two months ago."
"And you are already ruler of this world?!"
"Yeah. Back on my home planet I was one of the strongest warriors ever so the prince gave me this planet." Chichi was still in shock. "I have a lot of people help me. Your father helps me with the taxes and so on. Back home we do things a lot earlier. Most girls your age already have a large family. This planet is more into the arts so you do stuff later."
"Large families?!"
"Oh yeah. It is very common. The average girl gets married around twelve. There is a good reason for that though. A lot of men are sent to war and most don't come back so there is always a new generation."
"Well...if you lived in a warrior society then I could see that happening." She was still thinking. ~Large families?! Wait a minute! Who am I talking to? Kakorroto. Who is the enemy? Kakorroto. But now that I talk to him...~ "So, who was this ball for?"
"The prince. He won a large victory at Yardrat. Though I must say it was getting very boring."
"I can say that again. But can I ask you something?"
"Yeah."
"Why did you kill that slave?"
"What do you mean why? I had to. How else will I teach those slaves a lesson. They must learn that they are property of mine and I deserve respect." His face was very serious as he said it. Chichi started laughing. After a few minutes she stopped and looked up into his eyes.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have..."
"No, I want you to be honest with me. Tell me why you find that funny."
"You don't get respect through fear. You only get loathing and a whole planet against you. You could have talked to her and found out why she was angry. You could have punished her a different way that was not so severe." Kakorroto listened intently. ~I rather like having this conversation. In fact, I can't remember the last time I spoke with someone on an equal level.~
"Chichi. I have a job for you. I want you to be my personal adviser of affairs."
"Me?" ~Chichi, enemy, enemy, ENEMY, brainwash, brainwash, brainwash. Yes, then I can have him all to myself. He is just about the hottest guy on the planet.~
"Yes. I like talking to you like this. Thank you. You can just come here with your father everyday. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Great. I think we should be getting back now. I have a speach to make. When will this night end?!" He took her hand like a gentleman and lead her down the path back towards the ball. Everyone gasped as they saw him holding Chichi's hand, but the music and dancing did not stop. He lead her up the stairs to his thrown and told her to stand next to it. He stood directly infront of it and waited until the song stopped. When it did he cleared his throat and began. "Ladies and Gentleman. We are here tonight in honor of my dear friend Prince Vegeta. Would you please step up here." The prince left the floor and quickly climbed the steps and stood next to Kakorroto. He smirked at Chichi and turned around to face everyone. "Our prince won and honourable victory at Yardrat. After defeating the people there he moved in with his troops and took over. This ball is to honor that victory." The room erupted with applause as the prine took a bow. He then whispered something into his ear.
"New mate?"
"No, adviser."
"But she is a ..."
"I know. But she isn't afraid of me." Prince Vegeta nodded and smirked. He then desended down the stairs and returened to dancing with the blue haired girl. Kakorroto ordered a chair for Chichi to be brought up near the throne. Chichi sat down and sighed. This was going to get even more boring. She could hear Kakorroto sighing. She smiled and got up. She grabbed his hands and ran down the stairs to the dance floor. "What are you doing?!"
"Oh just shut up and dance with me. This is why these things are boring. No one dances with you." He shut up and took her in his arms trying to do what everyone else was doing. Chichi laughed and had to fix him. "No, you left hand goes on my waist and your right hand holds my left hand. Now, try again." After a few more tries Kakorroto finally got it. They were dancing like naturals. He smiled at her.
"Hey your right. This isn't so boring anymore." ~Now that I have you in my arms.~ She smiled and they continued to dance in silence. Somewhere during the night she found her head resting on his shoulder. She smiled to herself. Though she was happy she was also very confused. She didn't know what to think. Here she was enjoying herself with the enemy, yet that was the problem. He is the enemy. She sighed and decided not to think about that for the rest of the night. She was enjoying herself far too much. But alas all good things must come to an end. The Ox King came and collected his daughter from Kakorroto's strong arms. She smiled at him and followed her father out the door. When they got in the carrige he brought it up.
"What were you doing Chichi?"
"Dancing."
"Why?"
"I have been hired as his personal adviser."
"WHAT?! You have to be careful Chichi. This isn't a game. The rebelion..."
"The rebelion is not all that strong. I am now right there and I have direct influence on him. Don't you see. We have moved closer to accomplishing our goal!" He sighed.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You are putting your life on the line."
"He wants me to be honest with him. He said he wouldn't punish me."
"And you believed him?! Chichi!"
"Oh my god, you are right! Oh, what am I going to do? I gotta be really careful. Oh, this is bad."
"Just play it cool. Try your best." He patted her on the head. Chichi suddenly saw her future get darker. "Just be careful." She nodded and closed her eyes to sleep the rest of the way home.
Chichi studied herself in the mirror. She was wearing a simple dark blue dress trimmed in red. The different decorations on her left shoulder were also red. There were slits on both sides of her dress stopping a few inches above her knees. Her hair was tied back with a red ribbon. She smiled and quickly put on her blue boots to go to the palace. Today was the first day as Lord Kakorroto's personal adviser. She followed her father out the door to the carrige. It wasn't the same one from last night. That one was decorated for the ball. This one was plain and simple, yet it showed a high standard. Her father helped Lord Kakorroto twice a week with the finances and taxes of the planet. It was a hard job. Two gaurds were waiting for them when they climbed out of the carrige. One of them took Chichi while the other took the Ox King down different pathes. Chichi looked over to her father worriedly, but he just nodded encouraging her. She took a deep breath and started down the path. It seemed to be taking them away from the palace. She stopped when she saw Lord Kakorroto sitting by a pond just looking over the water. His back was turned to her. The gaurd took a position right behind her. "Lord Kakorroto." Kakorroto looked startled when he heard his name. He quickly wipped his head around only to see Chichi.
"Oh, it is you. You scared me."
"Sorry. What were you thinking about?"
"Everything."
"Why?"
"I dunno. It is just one of those days I guess." ~He acts so civilized. Is this really the man that the whole world fears?~ "Have a seat." She took a seat on the ground next to him. He was laying out on his side. His tail was lightly wagging. He was staring at her. She was sitting on her knees looking out across the pond. It was very beautiful. Everything was wooded and there was a swan swimming across the water. It wasn't worried about anything. Kakorroto opened his mouth to speak, but stopped.
"What my lord?"
"Nothing."
"You can tell me anything."
"Can I?"
"Why wouldn't you be able to?"
"Sorry. Just something I learned as a kid. Never trust anyone."
"Then how could you talk to anyone? How would you do anything? It is true that you shouldn't just trust people. You must be picky. Chose wisely."
"Was I right to chose you?"
"Do you doubt my trust? I other words, why did you chose me?"
"Because you aren't afraid of me."
"Then I give you my word that you can trust me." Kakorroto smiled and looked away. There was a long silence between them. Chichi finally broke it. "What is it like to be ruler of an entire planet?"
"Huh? It is a lot of work. Too much sometimes." He turned back to the pond.
"You do know your advisers are meeting today?"
"Yeah, but they can do it without me. I really just need a break."
"Would you like me to go..."
"No. Please stay. I have no one to talk to. Everyone is just so damn afraid of me that they won't even make eye contact with me. Even the prince has a hard time. It gets lonely. I guess that is a little hard to understand."
"No it isn't. Everyone gets lonely, no matter how tough they are."
"How is it that you are so wise for your age?"
"I am not that much younger than you." She paused and looked over to the swan. "My mother died when I was six. I miss her so much. After that my dad went nuts and it was up to me to take care of everything. Cooking, cleaning, keeping the shelter. That kind of thing. Eventually my dad fixed all his emotional problems, but he still isn't the same. I have had a pretty rough life compared to most humans."
"Nothing like a Saiya-jin's childhood."
