The King had passed away during the night.
The wounds he had suffered in the battle were too much for even him to bear, the King of Saiya-jins. He was a strong king. And now in his death, the throne and all power went to his only son, Vegeta. The young prince had stood silently at his father's bed all night, knowing that he would soon perish. When his father died he felt as though a great weight had left the chamber and he bowed his head slightly in his father's memory. A feeling of cold dread came over him as he realized the predicament he was in. He was now the king. The King. It sounded so strange, and yet, he knew how long he had desired to hear those words. He now was the man in charge and he could order all those imbeciles to do his will. He was the king of one of the most powerful kingdoms in the whole universe and he felt just fine. He glanced at the dead body of his father once more and sighed. Making up his mind he whirled around and was greeted by his right hand man Kakarot. He was on his knee and Vegeta rolled his eyes impatiently. "You can get up damn it," he said sorely. Kakarot smiled and when he saw the look on Vegeta's face it quickly disappeared. "He's dead," Vegeta said. Kakarot nodded and bowed his head.
"Shall I get the women?" he asked. Vegeta nodded and made his way out of the room. "He was a great man, Vegeta," he said. Vegeta kept walking and didn't reply. Kakarot shook his head and made his way to go and retrieve the women.

Down in the prisons the most recently captured people were anxiously awaiting any news on their release. They knew there was no chance that they would go free, but it didn't hurt to hope. The cell was filled with about ten women and no men. Almost all the men had been killed by the raiders and the women had remained. In the corner of the cell three women huddled in the cold. "B…Bulma?" one of them squeaked out. She was fair and had dark hair, which was tightly rolled into a bun on her head. Bulma turned to her friend and managed a weak smile. "Are you alright? Has the pain ceased?" she asked. Bulma nodded her head and turned back around so that Chi Chi would not see the tears in her big, blue eyes. Bulma's blue hair was disheveled and her clothing was ripped, but despite that she still managed to stand out and so moved to the corner in order to avoid the hoot calls of the guards. The next woman sat silently next to Chi Chi staring ahead of her. She had blonde hair that hung loosely around her shoulders and stunning blue eyes. She had a very angry look on her face and no one approached her.
So we meet the three fair women who were to be chosen out of the prisoners for the pleasure of the new king. Chi Chi, a teacher in the palace to the little children, Bulma, the princess of the kingdom, and Juuhatchigo, the former wife to the king's right hand man. They had all come from the same planet and had known each other for sometime. They were all frightened as the guards dragged them away but kept brave faces for their people. They would not give up hope, and they were all aghast when they found out that they all, save a few and been slaughtered in honor of the king's death.

"What do you mean she's missing?" Kakarot asked. The bald Saiya-jin cowered before him and stuttered out: "She's gone! I don't know where she is!" Kakarot sighed and dismissed Nappa. He was useless. He looked around at the room and sighed. Where had that girl gone too? He mused. She was supposed to be getting ready for dinner. There was to be a great banquet for her and her comrades. He got up and stormed angrily to the women's room. He opened the door and was greeted by a frightened young woman. She was wearing shabby clothes, and her hair hung loose about her shoulders. She moved back slowly and kept her eyes fastened on him. He raised his hands. "I come not to hurt you, I am just looking for the Princess," he said. Her eyes were wide with terror and she backed into the wall. Her eyes were filled with tears and she began to wail.
"Murderer!" she cried. "You slaughtered my people!" she said.
"No, listen--" he said.
"You want to kill Bulma!" she shouted. A few seconds later Vegeta stepped into the room. The woman immediately became silent.
"What's going on in here? Where is the damn Princess?" he asked angrily. Kakarot stepped up.
"Well er…they said that she's— "
"I'm right here," a voice said. They turned around and saw Bulma. She was dressed in a simple black shirt and a pair of pants. She looked terribly pale and her eyes widened when she saw Vegeta. Up close he was even more intimidating. His onyx eyes stared at her and it seemed that he would burn a hole in her head. She stared back and walked up to him.
"Princess Bulma," he said looking at her. He was somewhat entranced by her face and mostly her eyes. He stared at her and she stared back.
"Cut the crap King. You want me to sign the papers I will. Just stop killing my people," she said.
"Oh what a noble Princess we have here. She would make a fine Queen for her country, would she not Kakarot?" he asked looking to his guard. Kakarot nodded nervously and looked in the corner at the trembling woman.
"That's just fine Madame Bulma. I've had about enough of your sass. Unfortunately you won't be going back to your homeland, because you'll be staying here. Wonderful ransom they are these princesses," he said with a smirk. She reached out and pushed his chest and began to hit him with her fists. He laughed at her anger and then he suddenly grabbed her hands. He applied force to her wrists and he growled. He leaned over to her ear and said: "I'm much stronger than I look you little fool. Just shut up and bring your royal ass down stairs to sign the papers, after that, you can rot in a cell for all I care," he said. He let go of her wrists and smiled evilly. He looked to Chi Chi who was still muttering to herself in the corner. "Kakarot, you know what to do with that one. If you have no personal use for her, dispose of her," he said. Kakarot nodded and looked at Vegeta.
"What about the other one?" he asked. Vegeta shrugged.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with her?" he asked. "If you don't need her, dispose her. You're in charge of these brats until I say you're not, or until they're dead. But this one," he said looking at Bulma. "Just guard her and make sure that no one touches her. I'll break their hands off," he said gruffly. He looked at Bulma who was looking at him as though he had gone out of his mind. "Don't be scared my little Princess, not yet," he said menacingly. She looked at him as he stalked out of the room and she clenched her fists. They still hurt where he had grabbed her and she massaged her wrists.
"Bastard," she muttered. She turned around and went over to Chi Chi. "Chi Chi are you ok?" she asked soothingly. Kakarot stood and looked at them until Chi Chi pushed Bulma away. She walked up to Kakarot and looked him in the eyes.
"You don't look so…evil…" she said. "Why are you different? You remind me of my Goku. My little Goku. He was such a nice student. Always polite and quiet. Sweet child, but he's gone now," she said with tears filling in her big eyes. Kakarot stared down helplessly at the woman before him and looked away.
"Princess Bulma, would you please come with me to the dining hall?" he asked. She went over to Chi Chi and guided her to the bed.
"Stay here ok Chi?" she asked. Chi Chi nodded and continued to sob softly. Bulma looked at Kakarot who was staring at Chi Chi. "Stop looking at her like you care," Bulma spat out. She looked up at the guard and looked into his eyes. She saw concern mirrored in them and she quickly looked away. 'Was it possible for such a monster to have feelings?' she thought. She silently made her way downstairs to the room and numbly signed the papers, legally handing over all of her land to Vegeta. He smirked now, knowing that she was defenseless. Also, that no one could rightly take this land because it was all theirs. On this land were some of the largest gold and silver mines, and now they all belonged to him. He didn't bother to show up for the dinner and instead went out for a ride by himself. He wanted to be alone as he planned what he would do to that princess. She was a true beauty and was a feisty one for sure. All she needed was a little more poking and soon she would be like a dragon. He wanted her to fight back. He wanted a challenge. This was only the smoke; they hadn't seen the fire yet. Oh not yet…

Kakarot stared at the ceiling above his head. A horde of conflicting emotions had begun welling up in him as soon as he had encountered the dark haired beauty. She had entirely captivated him and he couldn't get her out of his head. She was mad. She kept on raving about some child called Goku. He had never felt sorry for someone before like this. It was as if she had settled in his very soul, threatening to rip him up from on the inside. He felt that it was his fault that she was like that. Gone stark raving mad, and talking nonsense. He sighed and closed his eyes. He would think of something. Hopefully.

Bulma lay on the small bed provided for her and she looked at Chi Chi, who was sitting by the window. She looked like a ghost. Juu was sleeping on the next bed and she stirred in her rest. She sighed and got up. She went over to the window and stood next to Chi Chi. "Chi are you ok?" she asked. Chi Chi nodded and said nothing. Bulma shook her head and walked around the room. She looked at Chi Chi once again who had completely lost it. She felt a pang in her heart, because she was her dear friend. She sat down on her bed and she thought of Kakarot. He would help. He had too.
