Hello once again sweeties.

Sorry for the long wait. The chaper has been done for awhile now but I have some funny computers. I don't know why, but when I upload new chapters from the laptop it's all messy when I edit it. So I have to write it on my laptop, open my mail, start a new one and copy/paste the chapter into the mail (I don't send it), save it in the mail, open the other computer I have, open my mail on that one, copy/paste once again into another writing program, save the chapter, open this site and copy/paste again to get it readable ...

Yeah, I have no idea why it's like that, but hey, as long as I get it posted here it's fine, right? ;-)

Thank you for the reviews:

Rosmund Chadwick: I'm sorry, please don't be to sad. :-( I like Vegeta too, defiantly a Vegeta girl like you, but Zarbon just seemed to be so lonely my heart arched. :-( And don't worry, Vegeta wil get his revenge. :-O You have no idea how much I laughed at the last comment you wrote. Sweet Jesus, I can imagine how it looked like. XD XD XD I love that comment so much I laugh while I'm writing this right now so I have to delete and rewrite because I can't do it right.

Dislaimer: I own nothing. :-(

It was all planned down to the last detail so now they only had to find Yukika and Zarbon, kill Zarbon and get Yukika. Kakarot's half-breed son had joined them and would help him too but only because his father asked him to do it. Vegeta could feel the boy glare holes through his body. He didn't know what the boy had against him.

"Do you know where the girl is?" Kakarot asked eyeing his son who clenched his fists and looked away from the rest of them.

"No. I'm surprised Zarbon knows how to disguise his ki but if we can find them before they reach Frieza's ship it would only be to our advantage." he said and looked around the ground below them in an attempt to locate the two others.

"But isn't the girl from Earth?" Bulma asked from her place in Kakarot's arms.

Vegeta eyed the Earth girl and felt something stir inside of him and nodded slowly. He squashed the weird feeling he didn't want to feel and once again his mind settled on Yukika. She was from Earth, he was sure of it, but something didn't really fit together. It was pretty clear that Kakarot and his friends had no idea who the girl was, so how did she end up on Namek of all places?

"Hey, dad, I can see two people down there." Kakarot's son yelled to the rest of the group and made everyone stop dead in their tracks and look down to where the boy was pointing his finger at.

And just as he said, Vegeta saw two persons come out from a cave and it didn't take him long to recognize both Yukika and Zarbon. He looked at the others and saw Kakarot nod and the two of them flew downwards to land at the ground right in front of them. He saw Yukika's eyes widen with something close to fear before she took a small step backwards so was standing behind Zarbon.

"I thought I told you that you will never make her happy?" Zarbon asked in a demanding voice and narrowed his eyes at the two unlikely allies.

"Yes, but I decided not to listen." Vegeta said and forced his eyes away from the young woman.

Something had changed between them. He couldn't tell what, but no matter what it was he felt like he had lost something. He pushed the feeling away and sent Kakarot a look before aiming for Zarbon's left side. When the green man moved to his right to avoid his kick, Kakarot punched upward and hit him clear in the stomach. Zarbon's eyes widened at the painful contact and were momentarily out of balance which Vegeta used for his advance. He heard Yukika scream but didn't bother to stop and see what it was that made her scream and instead he and Kakarot combined their attacks in which Zarbon had a difficult time to follow their movements and avoid.

He smiled at the satisfying feeling he got when he saw Zarbon get slower and slower. It wouldn't be hard to kill him this way.

I watched in horror as Zarbon was beaten again and again by both Vegeta and Goku and I was disgusted the way they were two against one. Okay, Zarbon wasn't a angel either, but they could at least stop and ask me what I wanted instead of just assuming they knew what I wanted.

"Hey Yukika." a voice sad in a low voice behind me.

I turned around and saw Bulma, Krillin and Gohan standing there. I looked at them with tears in my eyes and a frown on my face. Bulma walked over to me, closely followed by Krillin and Gohan as their eyes didn't leave the fight in front of them. The other girl grabbed my hand and started dragging me away from Zarbon. When she touched me, I stiffened and she literally dragged me away even though I tried to get her to let me go. Krillin and Gohan shooed Bulma out of their way and grabbed both my wrists as they too started to drag me away. I looked over my shoulder and saw a heavily injured Zarbon trying to protect himself.

"Zarbon." I shouted and regretted it immediately as he turned his head and looked at me and then was sent flying a few meters away.

He landed on his back and didn't move at first and my heart started to fall apart. So when he finally stood up, each of his movements stiff from pain, I felt so relieved I wanted to cry. He glanced at me before moving his look at the two Saiyan's in front of him.

"She will never be yours, Vegeta." Zarbon said with a half smile in his messed up face.

He coughed and blood was sent flying towards the ground. He staggered and I finally felt Krillin and Gohan release their holds on my wrists. I stepped forward and stumbled over the battlefield towards Zarbon. I saw Goku look at me with surprise, sadness and a rage I had no idea if it was directed towards me or not and I didn't care. I only saw Vegeta walk towards Zarbon with long steps. Zarbon met my tear filled eyes and gave me a small smile that made me feel like this was it. That it was a goodbye.

I screamed when Vegeta punched Zarbon in the stomach, making his hand go right through him. He coughed up more blood and his eyes slowly closed. He went limb and when Vegeta pulled his arm back, Zarbon fell to the ground and didn't move.

He had been victorious and yet he didn't feel like it. He had heard Yukika's scream, had seen her tears and yet he didn't stop. It was clear for him, now more than ever, that Yukika would never be his. He had seen it in her eyes before the fight when he had met her gaze. Before he had killed Zarbon he had seen the love the girl held towards him in her eyes. But now there was nothing and it scared him shitless. Her dark eyes were no longer filled with the same spark as before. He had seen it, had even felt the change the second he had killed Zarbon.

Yukika was in front of him now. She raised her hand and slapped him hard across his face. When he slowly turned his head towards her again, he saw the raw hate in those beautiful eyes. He had longed for her to look at him like he was the only one for her but now it was too late.

"You monster." she spat with a cold, hard and hateful voice.

He was the cause of this,he was the cause of her being like this. Why didn't he stop? Why did he kill Zarbon? He loved Yukika, right? Then wasn't he supposed to make sure she was happy even if it meant they couldn't be together? He had realized what had changed only moments after he had looked away from Yukika and to Zarbon. When he had said that she would never be his, it had been too much and he had killed him in a fit of rage.

Vegeta had no idea what to do or how to face her. He didn't know what to say either. Not that anything he could say would help. He backed away from the eyes of his former allies and the tear filled eyes of the girl he loved and leaped into the air and flew away from them.

He heard Yukika's sorrow as she wept and even though he was far away, it was the only sound he actually heard.

It had stopped hurting and the tears had stopped a long time ago. I don't know how long I had been here, sitting with Zarbon's head in my lap and stroking his green hair with shaking hands. It felt like years had gone by and when I planted a soft kiss on his bloody forehead and stood up, my whole body was feeling numb. I could see Bulma, Krillin and Goku standing a little away from me while they kept an eye on me, but I didn't care. All I could think of was the death of Zarbon.

I started walking. I don't know why or where I was going, I just needed to get away. I needed to get away from Zarbon's body, to put some distance between me and the life that was no longer there. He was gone and as soon as I started thinking of that again, my sight became blurred. I didn't stop walking and fell a couple of times, before I fell again and didn't get up. I didn't want to get up, I didn't want to live without Zarbon.

How could I?

How long did I lay on the ground? It was starting to get a little cold and any sane person would get up and move around to get the warmth back in the body but in my depressed state I didn't care if I was freezing or nor. I heard voices calling my name but didn't answer. The place I was laying was in shadows so I guessed I had found a cave or something. For all that I cared it could have been Hell and still it wouldn't matter.

It pained him to breathe and his whole body was in pain. He tried to figure out why it was hurting and after a few seconds had passed his memory came flashing in front of his in small bits. He felt a saddening in his chest were his heart was by the thought of his death and the now impossible dream of being together with Yukika.

He stood up with a little difficulty and looked around. He was standing in a meadow with a few willows and flowers in the colour red, blue and purple. He didn't know why he was there but maybe this was where the dead went.

"Hello." a voice said behind him and he swirled around, ready to defend or attack depending on the opponent.

He didn't know what he had expected but he defiantly didn't expect a old wrinkled man standing there peacefully with a walking cane in his right hand. The smile he sent Zarbon made his eyes almost disappear in a sea of wrinkles. His hair was grey and thin but still he emitted a strong aura.

"Finally we meet, Zarbon. I have been wanting to meet you for a time now, you know." the old man said and reached his hand towards Zarbon.

Zarbon looked down at the hand unsure of what to do and decided to ignore the hand. He sent the man a look that he knew always made his subordinates tremble in fear from him and he was sure it would be the same with this old man. But it seemed that the stare didn't have the wanted effect on him. He merely chuckled and let his hand fall to his side.

"A little rude, you are. But if you make Yukika happy then I will not complain." he said and turned his back on Zarbon to walk away from him.

"Yukika? You know Yukika?" he asked and made the man stop.

"Of course I do, she's my greatgreatgreat-grandchild." he answered and chuckled with a low voice. "She's resembling so much of my beloved wife, Himawari."

"But aren't you supposed to be dead?" Zarbon asked and looked at the old man with worry.

Maybe he was going senile?

"I am dead but I'm not dead." the old man said and the answer didn't help Zarbon much about finding out where he was, who the old man was and why he was there.

"Who are you?" Zarbon asked and looked at the old man.

"I am Yoshiteru. I am Yukika's protector and closest ally. I am her friend in times when she need it." the old man said and his voice was beaming with strength.

"Then why am I here? I'm dead? And why are you here?"

"You are here because your body is supposed dead and I am here to help you get back to your body. As for your question why you are here, this meadow resembles where my wife and I lived, where our children was born and grew up." Yoshiteru answered with a nostalgic voice. "It resembles our home and it is the place where I feel closest to my now deceased wife."

"So ... I'm not dead?" Zarbon asked the confusion evident in his voice.

"You are dead." Yoshiteru said and the old man smiled.

"But you just said that I was supposed dead? Doesn't that mean I'm not dead?" he said and looked at the old man.

"Everyone from where you come from, believes you to be dead. Yukika is quite depressed right now and that arrogant prince is feeling guilty for the first time in his life and is going on a rampage in a village on the north side of the planet. Vegeta killed you but I managed to retrieve your soul before you ended up in the waiting line for either Hell or Heaven and I will give you a second chance for life, so you once again can return to Yukika's side." Yoshiteru said and reached down into one of his pockets.

He took something up and walked over to Zarbon and motioned for him to reach out his hand. Slowly Zarbon did as the old man wanted but stayed alerted if the old man decided to suddenly attack him. Yoshiteru gave him a thin golden bracelet with three pearls in it. He frowned and looked confused at the old man in front of him.

"It's for Yukika. It was my wife's who passed it down to our daughter who then passed it down to her daughter. But since my grandchild there have been no baby girls born in our family and only female's related to us by blood can have it. Yukika are next in line for it." Yoshiteru smiled and nodded at Zarbon.

He then raised his crane and reached out for Zarbon but stopped inches away from his chest, right over his heart.

"Oh, and be a sweet boy and give a message to Yukika from me, will ya? When her choice has been made, there is no returning." Yoshiteru said and smiled before he gently touched Zarbon's chest with his crane.

At first nothing really happened but then Zarbon felt a pain so horrible, he wanted to scream in agony. But being the proud warrior he was, he bit his lips hard to keep him from doing so. Flashing light so bright his eyes hurt, appeared in his vision and made him squeeze his eyes shut. He felt like he was being tortured before everything suddenly stopped as sudden as i had appeared. His lungs was screaming for oxygen which made him open his mouth and gasp sharply for the air his body demanded.

He heard gasps and opened his eyes. Hovering over him was Kakarot and his two earthling friends. He was back.
