Chapter Six

Lunch with a Queen

::knock, knock:: "Miss, are you up yet?," Elise asked at the door to Ecoko's room.

"Who is it and what do you want at this infernal hour to be up?," a groggy voice answered Elise.

"It's Elise. There's a man downstairs in the sitting room waiting for you, it's the same one who came last week. Also miss, it's noon," Elise replied a bit stronger, now that she was sure Ecoko was up.

"Tell him I'll be down as soon as I put some decent clothes on," Ecoko was up now.

***Back in the sitting room***

"She'll be down in just a minute, sir," a once again timid Elise told Kakarott.

"Thank you."

And truth be told, Ecoko came stumbling down into the sitting room minutes later, still pulling a brush thought her hair. "Hi ya Kakarott, how is everything?"

"The queen wanted me to invite you to lunch at twelve thirty, but if you don't want to come...."

"Oh I would love to come, let me just put some better clothes on. Come to think of it what AM I to wear to have lunch with a queen?"

"What would you wear to have lunch with your friends?"

"Um......skirt, tank and a jacket."

"Then wear that."

"Okay. Back in a sec," with that she ran out to change.

Soon Ecoko came back in a short, dark blue skirt, same color tank top, one of those jackets football players in a school wear, black tights and strapy high heels. " Are you ready to go Kakarott? It's almost twelve thirty. I won't be back tonight Elise, I'm staying at a friend's. Bye!!!"

"Let us go."

When they arrived at the embassy, Ecoko was told to take off her jacket. She put up quite a fight to keep it on, until a female voice told them to leave her alone. Everyone looked up to see the King and Queen coming down the stairs. The guards did as she told them with only a 'yes your Majesty.' Kakarott started to tell them what was happening when the King held up his hand and started to speak. "So, your the girl we've heard so much about? Come with us, we have some questions to ask you." The King started to walk to a room down the hall with the Queen, Ecoko and Kakarott followed. When the door shut, it opened again to let in all of Kakarott's family and the King and Queen's.

"What are you all doing here?," the King yelled at all of them.

"Majesty, why do you want to talk to me?," Ecoko asked timidly.

" Why don't you take off your jacket?," the Queen asked nicely.

" I don't want to," Goten sneaked up behind her and took it off, revealing new

bruise marks, cuts and scars. Everyone in the room went silent looking at her.

"Who did this to you? And don't call me Majesty. My name is Vegeta, the Queen's is Bulma, the Princess's is Bra and you already to call Trunks Trunks."

" I got in a fight."

"Hell you did," Kakarott said, smelling her.

" Why are you smelling me?"

"Who raped you recently?," with that news everyone was even more shocked.

"No one."

"Girl, tell us NOW!!!!," Vegeta was feed up with her and wanted answers.

Ecoko fell to the floor crying and saying 'please no you too.' She suddenly felt arms around her and started to cry harder. The person with the arms was telling her that she was safe and nothing or no one would harm her here. She still cried and was telling the person that 'she was never safe, that he could find her anywhere.' The person asked her who 'he' was and she started to cry harder, she whispered so lightly that the person had to strain to hear. She whispered that 'he' was her father. "What!!!!!!!!!!!," said the person almost dropping her, but catching her before she could drop much. This was about the time she looked up to see who was holding her. To her surprise it was Vegeta.

Everyone had watched as Vegeta went over to Ecoko and put his arms around her. He was trying to comfort her! This was a thing no one had ever seen Vegeta ever do to anyone, but Bulma. Ecoko tried to get away from Vegeta and he let her get away.

" Are the marks on your entire body?," Vegeta slowly asked.

"Yes they are. I HATE HIM!!!!!!!! Each time he does this to me I want to kill him," Ecoko yelled sunndly.

"Why don't you kill him?"

"I'm not stong enough, I'll never be strong enough," Ecoko said and fell to the floor.

"Why don't you? In this stage you're stronger than anyone of us in this stage. For most of us in this room to be as strong as you are now, we would have to power up to our third stage. Sayins train all of their lives to be as strong as you, you just don't know how to use your ki as we call it, your life energy. With the right training you could become the strongest person in the universe, almost," Kakarott said, surprising everyone, once again, with what he had just said.

"Do you really mean that or are you just saying it to make me happy again?," Ecoko asked.

"I really mean it, if the other guys agree to it then we could start to train you right after lunch," Kakarott looked to the other guys in the room to see if they agreed to his idea. They all nodded in agreement.

After lunch Ecoko was tought how to focus on her ki and learned very quickly how to fly. She was also tought how to put her ki behind her punchs and kicks to make them stronger, she didn't really get how to do that. By the time everyone stopped it was late in the evening and Ecoko still had to call one of her friends to see if sha could stay the night with them.

"Where's your phone?," Ecoko yelled as she landed in the training field.

"Why do you need it?," was yelled back at her.

"I need to call one of my friends to see if I can stay the night."

"Why stay the night?"

"To get away from my dad."

"Why not stay here? There's sure room for you."

The last comment wasn't yelled from the sky, so Ecoko looked around and saw Bulma and Chi-Chi coming to her. Ecoko watched as both Vegeta and Kakarott came down to meet them. Chi-Chi kissed Kakarott on the cheek, where Bulma kissed Vegeta full-on on the lips.

"I think that I will stay here. Thank you for the offer."
