THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR THIS FIC
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM DRAGON BALL Z, ONLY THE CHARACTER'S MADE ARE MINE…
-Azure's POV-
I looked around and only hoped that the boy, no not boy but Prince Trunks hadn't followed me. While running I had acquired more bruises that not only created new cuts but only further started to bother the laceration under my belly button. I could already feel the blood start to seep through my dress but that just wasn't the worst part I myself was starting to bleed again.
I could feel the sticky substance stick to my thighs which only further delayed and slowed down my movement. I stopped and looked around for a pond or any type of water to clean up. My breathing started picking up, I suddenly felt all dizzy and everything seemed to be spinning.
I shook my head trying to fix my vision, it helped a bit, I placed my hand over my stomach and pulled away only to see that the blood had also coated my fingers the crimson color. I choked on a sob but swallowed it down. I had to be strong.
I turned away around continued on with my search… I slowly started making my way around the area searching for water. I heard a crunching sound and my ears perked up hearing two voices.
"…King Vegeta…-searching…-concubines…" with that being heard, my eyes widened and my breath hitched again. I couldn't let them find me Kami only knows what they'll do to me in this state.
I slowly started backing only to have dizziness start to wash over me again, but this time I started seeing spots at the end of my vision, everything slowly turning black and I couldn't help but fall backwards making noise. But even still I tried standing which only made more noise making the inhabitants in the Forest aware that a female occupied the forest, which seemingly worked in their favor.
I fell back and let the darkness takeover, only left with hearing I heard the fast footsteps and a pause. "Well we could take her…" The deep voice said hesitating a bit. "We could but before we take 'er let's get it fixed… I don't want that midget King to start 'is complainin'" The other voice, his accent only ensured her that he came from the Southern side of Vegeta.
"She sure is a beauty even if she is colored in blood, but that isn't the only thing I smell." The man with a deeper voice said. "She is also untouched I'm sure King Vegeta will be pleased, since it is hard now a-day to find a virgin…" he said. That was the only thing she heard before she finally succumbed to the darkness.

"Wake-up… young one…" A soft velvety voice whispered. Azure just moaned out "Young one… please…" the voice pleaded.
"Momma…" Azure called out, her eyes opening to take in a blurry figure. The voice giggled "I'm sorry but I only have one child whom I haven't seen since child-birth." The voice said in far off and sad tone.
Azure snapped back to reality and sat up abruptly. Causing the wound on her stomach to sting and tear a bit, she hissed and threw herself back on the bed and moaned out in pain. "Oh! You shouldn't have done that dear!" the voice said rushing to her side.
The said woman had cerulean hair that was neatly put up in a difficult twist she had ornaments and pins in her hair they had taken the color of sapphire blue there was a binyeo that stood out from the both side of it took in the small shape of a dragon that had jewels framing each shape of it molded form, she had some of her fringes framing her seemingly youthful face. Her lips were painted a pink color and she dressed in a red and royal-blue kimono that was also gold flower patterns.
"I'm sorry…" Azure moaned out in pain. The woman smiled her blue hues seemed to also shine like gems "its okay darling but you shouldn't move about in such speed… my name is Bulma… what is yours?" she asked.
"Azure…" she said looking up at the woman with tears in her eyes. The woman, Bulma reminded her of her mother, her mother also had a weird coloring but that is what made her beautiful, her mother also had a soft voice that lulled her to sleep every night before she was brutally taken away.
"Why are you crying?" Bulma asked rushing to pull the girl in a hug, her eyes narrowed taking in the sight of the shaking girl.
"…Momma… you look like my Momma…" she sobbed out. Bulma smiled "I do?" she asked and was rewarded with a shaky nod. Bulma pulled away and held the girl at length keeping her hands on her shoulder. She looked to be at the tender age of 15, with wavy waist length dark tresses, chocolate wide orbs that had a speck of green to them, pink full lips, and a very beautiful body. Her eyes reminded her of someone, someone she held very dear to her.
Bulma smiled "Well what if I decided to take you in?" she said. Azure looked at her a bit confused, and then pointed to herself. "Me?" she asked, Bulma nodded "I will take you in as my own!" she exclaimed. Azure looked at the woman who despite her youthful looked to be around her mother's age, she looked mature.
"You'll take me in?!" she said again and Bulma nodded. "Okay then… Miss Bulma where are we?" she asked. Bulma gasped and looked around. "Well we are in the castle, the guards found you in the middle of the forest bleeding." Bulma said.
"You were unconscious but they bought you here because King Vegeta is searching for a mate and concubine…-" Azure's eyes widened "For himself! But the Queen died 5 years ago! How can he forget her so easily?" Azure whispered out loud. Bulma's eyes darkened a bit, but then lightened instantly. "You misinterpret my words daughter; He is searching a mate and concubine for Tru- Prince Trunks his first and only heir." Bulma said in a sad tone.
Had she known the Prince? Why was she sad?
"Miss Bul-" She was about to ask but why, But the door opened and in walked in two men dressed in weird armor that Azure only assumed them to be the guards.
"We're here to take the woman to the waiting room, where all third classes wait to be-" But was cut off when Bulma put her hand up and he immediately ceased to speak.
Bulma looked the guard in the eye, her blue eyes narrowed and looked the guard in the eye, her eyes shined with disgust. "Tell King Vegeta that this girl in here is under my protection and she will not be apart of one of those who will be chosen to be Prince Trunks concubine, Now be gone!" she said with malice. He guard looked Azure over but nodded his head once and walked out the room.
Azure shook and looked up, "Miss Bulma won't you get in trouble for disobeying the King?" Azure said with a shaky voice.
Bulma looked at Azure and smiled "Let us not worry about that, come little one we have to dress you!" Bulma squealed as she all but ran to the closet in her room and pulled out a royal-blue and red kimono that had small gold flower prints on the bottom and the top of the kimono and golden vine prints the swirled around the sleeves of kimono.
Azure gasped and looked at Bulma "Oh no! Miss Bulma this is too much! A servants dress would be better!" Azure said in protest.
Bulma shook her head and smiled, placing her hand on Azure's shoulder. "I said I would take you in so that means I will take care of you and that also includes dressing you, but if you refuse you will have to walk out bare and that would be embarrassing! Now wouldn't it?" Bulma asked giggling.
Azure nodded and smiled. "Okay now go bathe and then dress I would like to see how you look after you dress and then I can put your make-up on and show you to your room! Oh how exciting I've never had a daughter that I myself can take care of!" Bulma squealed walking out of the first room and into the living room.
Azure wasted no time turning to the only door in the room that would be considered the bathroom; she walked to the tub that was surrounded with lighted scented candles. There were cups of scented soaps and pedals in the decorative cups. Being careful of her cuts but wanting to be cleansed she bathed but with wincing of course after drying herself and hair with the fluffy cloth that was on the door.
She dried herself and walked out of the bathroom bare and dressed in her clothes with a bit of effort. When she finished she gracefully walked to the door and knocked. "Miss Bulma?" she called.
The door opened and Bulma walked in and behind her were servants holding boxes. Bulma smiled "Okay Azure now it is time to paint your face though you don't need much. Now seat yourself on the stool." A woman walked from behind Bulma and placed gently on the light-colored wooden floor. Azure nodded and sat down hands on her lap and fidgeting.
"Okay now ladies paint her and arrange her hair into a braid and place the Dengi-a and Deiggoji-a on her hair." She said softly. The woman quickly went to work painting her lids a light shade of red, her lips a light pink shade, her cheeks a pale red. Her hair was pulled back into chocolate fishtail braid that came down from the side of her head. The Deiggoji-a was gold and took in the shape of circle and placed on the crown of her head and pinned down it had pieces of ruby's and sapphire stones and also had a small dragon inside the circle that also had gems inside. The Dengi-a was tied at the base of her braid and was the color royal-blue and had the words written in Japanese 'ベジータの家' and in the color gold.
When they were finished they pulled away and resumed their positions behind Bulma and bowed to Azure.
Azure blinked and looked up at Bulma. "Miss Bulma why are the bowing?" she asked. Bulma smiled and walked to Azure "They bowed because I took you in! I am the First Concubine to The House of Vegeta, I am the Concubine of King Vegeta the Second." Bulma said a bit sadly.
Azure's eyes widened and she immediately got down from her stool and onto the ground in a deep bow. "Oh Mistress I had no clue please forgive me for I had no idea!" Azure said begging. Bulma smiled and touched Azures' shoulder "Rise Azure it is alright." Bulma said softly. Azure nodded and stood, Bulma walked towards Azure and smiled her blue eyes gleaming "You are beautiful Azure." Bulma said. Azure blushed and thanked Bulma "Thank You." She said bowing her head.
Bulma smiled and nodded "Azure let's go out for a stroll, I wish to have some fresh air, you are dismissed ladies." She said and Bulma walked out and Bulma behind her. They walked through the palace, it simply breathtaking the high pillars, the decorated tapestries, the scenery, the marble floors the flowers and vases that lined the hallways.
The finally made their way to the door and the guards opened the large oak doors letting both females out. Walking down the stairs they made it to the ground and Bulma walked they chatted along the way speaking of their lives which lead Azure to inform her of the death of her Mother who reminded her of Miss Bulma. "…She had Emerald hair that went past her waist and a set pale of green hues that came along, she had soft red lips that used sing me to sleep and kiss my cuts, although she wasn't very tall she was taller than me." Azure paused to look at Bulma who had a sad look on her face and her eyes welled with tears.
"Oh Miss Bulma please don't cry!" Azure said. Bulma nodded but smiled "Alright!" Bulma said in a shaky voice. Bulma turned from the clearing and Azure followed suit they were making their way back to the palace when they ran into an unexpected guess.
"You" The voice yelled. Bulma and Azure looked up to see Prince Trunks dressed in his Royal Armor a Black and Red color, his lavender hair was out if place, his fringes covered over his eyes, those baby blues, his lips slightly parted and all Azure could do was look back and gasp.
Bulma looked between them with a curious glance before she paid respect to the young Prince. "Prince Trunks a good day to you, I hope?" Bulma said bowing her head a bit, she then looked back up. Trunks looked at the woman before him with obvious dislike and hate, which made Azure uncomfortable and Bulma as well.
"Of course my day went well you wench!" he said with hate, and his narrowed. Which only made Bulma sigh and that sad forlorn look return, Bulma nodded and turned to Azure and nodded her head twice. "Azure I will make my to my chambers once you are finished talking to the Prince have one the ladies escort you to my room after your discussion." Bulma said.
Azures' eyes widened "But-" she started but was cut off, "Azure I will be on my way!" she said with a sad look and bowed once more to Trunks before she walked away.
Azure looked towards Bulma and sighed, then towards Trunks who was staring at her. Azures' eyes widened before she bowed. "Prince Trunks." She said and then stood back up looking him in the eyes with a bit of anger.
Trunks' looked her over and said "Azure… so we meet again." He says.
