Akisa's life
A/N: So sorry I haven't updated in like FOREVER! Please forgive me! Like I said in previous chapters I need your help with the plot because I have no idea what to do after this. So yeah, enjoy another chappie! Oh and one more thing. I was thinking and decided to make Karnosa 16 instead. Fits his personality better, okay to the chapter! =D
Chapter 7 part 1: Separation
It was about 10pm and the whole of CC was silent and almost everyone was asleep. Except Vegeta of course, who had started to wander down the long halls towards his room.
'What should I do? I could just wait for Frieza to come back. If we were meant to meet, what should I do? I can't just abandon her, that would be too harsh…' He pondered as he wandered slowly and almost aimlessly through the halls.
His Saiyan pride was yelling at him to just forget about the dumb girl. That she was just third-class trash and a burden. The Saiyan prince is held down by no-one and that friendship and caring feelings are for the weak.
He listened to it.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Vegeta had wandered to Akisa's door somehow. Just as he was about to knock, it opened. Akisa stood before him, her eyes shone in the darkness.
"We need to talk." Akisa whispered, fully knowing the conversation they were about to have. She had the feeling this would come for a long time.
Vegeta nodded and followed her into the dark and silent halls towards the lobby.
After a while, Akisa found a comfortable chair and sleepily slumped into the plushy pillows. Vegeta pulled over a chair and silently sat down next to her.
It was silent for a few minutes and Vegeta was started to fidget nervously before Akisa thankfully started to talk.
"I'm sorry; I really shouldn't force you to talk about sensitive subjects. Vegeta, I know you have your reasons and I'm not going to force your hand in the matter."
Vegeta stared at the floor, listening to her voice echo around the empty and spacious room. It sounded sad, lonely even.
"Okay you were outside my door for a reason. What is it you want to say?" Her voice was softened as she looked into his eyes.
Vegeta was silent for a few moments.
"I believe our journey together is over. You have found your family, well what's left. The only reason I helped you that fateful day was because I saw something in you." Vegeta quietly began. Akisa stayed silent, her eyes begging him to go on.
"A blood-felt vow, you want to avenge your parents, right?"
Vegeta turned his dark eyes to Akisa, who nodded slowly.
"You'll never get your revenge. I know who killed your parents." Vegeta whispered, knowing the next thing he was going to say would break her heart and confidence into a million pieces.
"Who? Who was it? Why won't I get my revenge?"
Akisa asked, her voice echoed around the room like a quiet sigh.
"It… it was Frieza. He did it, I saw him do it." He murmured his lips barely moving.
Akisa's eyes widened, now she knew why Vegeta had said she would never get her revenge. Frieza was just too powerful. An awful image of Frieza slaughtering her parents popped into her mind. She shook her head violently, as if to shale away the image. Her bangs fell in front of her face. She turned away from Vegeta; tears began to flood in her eyes. She didn't want to cry in front of Vegeta.
"I, see…I'm glad I got to know you more my prince."
Akisa's voice broke as she stood up to leave. She had only gone five paces when his voice called to her.
"Wait." She turned around.
"I'm glad I got to meet you too." Vegeta said as he wrapped Akisa in a tight embrace. Akisa was surprised at this action, but she hugged him back, listening to his steady heartbeat.
After a minute, she wriggled out of his embrace, and kissed him on the cheek, then ran to her room. Her socks making no noise on the hardwood floor.
Part 2: Tears and anger
As Akisa silently, blushing wildly, sped back to her room, she couldn't believe that she actually kissed him. Kissed him! Hot, angry tears had now begun to snake down her face and drip off her chin.
She silently closed her bedroom door behind her and threw herself into a pillow on her bed. Sobbing quietly, she tried not to make a sound, not wanting unwanted attention and questions from her sister in the room next to her.
'Do I like Vegeta? If I didn't, I wouldn't have kissed him, right? But why can't we be friends anymore, is it something I did?' Akisa thought despairingly, soaking the pillow sheet with her tears.
Then a small whisper of a breeze drifted in from the open window and a teleporting noise was heard. A quiet bark cut through Akisa's fogged mind.
She turned her tear streaked, red face, towards the sound and saw Caspian standing in the moon washed floor, staring up at her with his deep, coal black eyes.
Akisa smiled through her tears. She got up on her knees and patted her thighs gently and said "Come, Caspian."
Caspian wagged his silky tail and leapt up onto the bed and into her lap.
He put his massive puppy paws on her shoulder and proceeded to lick off the streaming hot tears with his cool tongue, his whiskers ticking her face as he made soothing purring noises.
Finally, a small grateful smile lit her face, and I a tiny giggle escaped her lips. Caspian wagged his tail again and then nosed her pocket, sniffing gently. His ears were straining as if he heard something and his tail had stopped all movements.
Akisa noticed his behavior and set her guard up too. She slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out whatever had Caspian on edge and gasped. It was the pictures of her parents. Her smooth hand flew to her mouth as tears threatened to spill again.
'Vegeta must've slipped this into my pocket before I noticed, oh my Kami..."
++++++++++++ (character change)
Vegeta stood where Akisa had left him, holding a hand to the cheek she had kissed. His face had ignited into a flaming blush.
"She… just…kissed me…" Vegeta stuttered as he tried to get a hold of himself. But the fresh memory of her soft lips making contact with his cheek for no less than a second, kept replaying in his head. He stared into the darkness where she had disappeared.
'Why did she do that? Why…?' Vegeta thought as he drowsily began to walk to his room.
A couple minutes later he reached Akisa's room, he sensed she was asleep so he quietly opened the door and sneaked in. He looked at her calm face as she snuggled with Caspian. The two pictures of her parents held in another hand. He smiled, then did something he never thought he would do, he kissed her on the forehead.
Then, he quickly sneaked back to his room.
'Okay, no more thinking of her! We broke our friendship and that's that and it will stay that way!' he savagely thought as he stripped down to his boxers and threw his cloths into a basket by the wall. Then her hopped into his bed and snuggled deep into the thick covers.
'Sorry Akisa.' Was his last thought as he fell asleep with the picture of her sleeping still embedded in his mind.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Vegeta's eyes slowly cracked open. He slowly slid his eyes over to the digital clock that rested on his bed stand. 6AM.
'Damn internal clock.' He peevishly thought as he wormed his way out of the warm covers and slid to the ground. As he dug his toes into the cool, plushy carpet, he stretched his arms over his head with a large yawn. As he did so, his tail swished up into an 'S' curvature. Then he reached over and slid over the thick curtains covering the windows to find it was still dark out. On Vegeta-sei, there would be at least some light.
He opened the door and stepped onto the balcony.
Vegeta leaned his forearms against the thick wooden railing as he gazed at the sparkling stars. A cool breeze tussled his upward swept hair.
'Wow.' He thought as he gazed at the stars, just then, movement caught his eye.
As he turned his head he saw Akisa on her balcony. She was staring into the distance, her back was to him, and her silky hair seemed to float off her shoulders as another cool breeze swept through the cool dawn air. Her tail was swishing calmly behind her with a hint of agitated movement.
She was unaware of his presence so she began to say something. Vegeta leaned forward to catch the breeze blown words.
"Why did Vegeta have to leave me? I was so close to getting to know him so such better. Stupid, arrogant, jerk! Damn you Frieza! Damn you!" As she screamed this to the dark sky, several birds took to the air, squawking in fright. Her aura had erupted into dancing tongues of flames with several hues of red, her hair spiked and her eyes cast a ghastly glow that chilled Vegeta to the bone.
"He will pay for this! They all will! Just wait till I get my hands on that Saiyan prince! I will make him regret making my host so emotional!" Evil Akisa snarled and whipped around, facing a trembling Vegeta. This action caught Vegeta so off guard that he fell over and began to scoot backwards slowly.
"You're next Prince…" Evil Akisa snarled as it pointed a long sharp talon at him.
"You're next." A deep chuckle escaped the beings lips as the Rage state slowly retreated, leaving Akisa clutching the thick wooden rail for support while panting heavily.
She looked up just in time to see Vegeta's tail disappearing into his room. It was just a quick blur but her Saiyan eyes still caught it.
"What?" She looked over his vacant balcony.
'Was he watching me? What happened?' She shakily stood up; a breeze gently wisped around her face like a comforting caress and blew her bangs from her face and from her shimmering blue-grey eyes.
*Go inside, darling. He does not concern you.* A sickly sweet voice inside her head said.
"Okay." She walked back into her room silently.
Part 3: New home, new rules
As Karnosa groaned and sat up, he realized he wasn't strapped to that cold metal wall, but in a king sized bed in a large room. Sunlight peeped through the cracks in the shutters.
"Finally, a full night of good sleep." Karnosa said aloud as he stretched out fully on his stomach, letting his long, silky, black tail sweep through the air. He ran his hand through his hair. It wasn't as wild as a normal Saiyans, but it still had some quirkiness in it.
Karnosa sighed with a smile as he rubbed the back of his head; he hated the grey streaks in his hair.
'Makes me look old.' He thought, and then his fingers touched the back of his neck where the serial number was located and his ghost of a smile disappeared
'Marked as a low-level, lived like one...' He thought gloomily as he sat up on the edge of his bed,
Then his smile returned. 'At least I'm not on that damned ship anymore!"
Filled with more enthusiasm about getting up and lounging in freedom than he had been in years, he jumped up and sauntered over to his walk in closet and gasped. 'So many choices!' He thought as he immediately began to dig through the closet with glee.
Akisa was in her bathroom, combing through her hair with her mothers hairbrush. She was wearing a bright red, turtle neck shirt with flared jeans and black flats. A sterling silver bracelet clicked on her wrist as she worked.
She gently set the hairbrush down and stared at herself in the mirror. She opened her jaw slightly and let her long, sharp canines show. Then she slid them down over her bottom lip.
'I look dangerous. Hehe.' She thought, and then she made the most pissed off face she could manage at the moment and growled menacingly at her reflection. Caspian jump a little and whined, flattening his ears.
He hated it when she made that angry noise. Ever since she tried to kill Vegeta, those horrible hisses and growls she emitted that day stuck in his head and raided his dreams.
"Sorry Caspian." Akisa realized her mistake and hid her fangs once more. He relaxed a little and wagged his tail to show that she was forgiven.
Crystal, still in her PJ's for she had the day off, stretched her arms above her head and yawned. As she walked into the lobby, she noticed the furniture was off.
'What happened here? Who moved the furniture?' She thought as she stepped forward. She sniffed the chairs and caught the stale scent of Vegeta and Akisa.
'?'
She just walked back to her room after moving the furniture back to its original spot.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"All right people! I've gathered you here to go over the rules of Capsule Corp!" Bulma cheerfully announced as she confidently stood in front of her newest house residents.
"There are rules to this house?" Vegeta sleepily grumbled.
"Yep, what did you expect? You think you can just flounce around touching Ms. Bulma's project she has so loyally worked on? Please." Crystal snorted at Vegeta.
"Watch it, girl." He hissed.
"One rule is no fighting!" Bulma glared at the two youngsters who were staring daggers at one another. Crystal immediately withered under Bulma's angry gaze and muttered a quick apology.
Akisa just sighed and sat down in a wooden chair in front of Karnosa. She inhaled the calming scent of her ginger and lemon tea.
"Rule two: If you want something to eat, ask my mother. She'd be happy to make you something, if you ask politely. Rule three: Do not disturb me while I am at my desk or down in the lab. CC is a big company and I have to help run it all…"
As Bulma went on about the house rules or something like that, Akisa found herself sadly staring at Vegeta. A quiet rage somewhere within her sparked, but did not make an appearance.
Karnosa noticed this, and from the look in her eyes her could tell that something must've happened between them. He gave her shoulders a squeeze and twined his soft tail around hers.
