Chapter Seven, "Earth."

My eyes were wide, turning my head to the side. As his lips touched my cheek, "Happy Birthday." Grinning he got off of me, and sat on the edge of my bed.

My face was red, there was no doubt about that. Sitting up, I hit his shoulder, "Dammit Jeice!"

He laughed, "I got ye to blush!"

"You're so dead for that." My voice was a hiss.

"Com'on Sheila, it was a joke..."

I looked to the side, pouting.

He moved forward and hugged me, "I'm sorreh, I was just messing..."

Exhaling, I sighed, and nodded. "Alright, you're forgiven. This one time."

"Yatta!" He shouted, punching the air. "I'm gla'd." He grinned.

I merely shook my head. Where in the hell does he get his energy...?

"I kno'w it's late... but weh have a suprize for you." He looked down at me, holding his hand out for me to take.

Blinking, I looked at him, tilting my head a little. By, we.... I figured it was the Ginyu Force. Was it a late birthday present? Carefully, I took his hand and away we went.

Being dragged in the halls, wearing my Pjs... well technically they were just loose clothing. I had to keep pulling the neck of my shirt up, for it kept falling down my shoulder. I liked sleeping comfortable dammit...

I had no clue where he was dragging me, it felt like we were going in mere circles. Only to wind up outside in the back. The sun that hovered during the day was on the other side of the planet. So it was dark...

I had to strain my eyes to see in the darkness, I think I could spot out a few shapes in the shadows, but I couldn't be so sure...

But of course, Jeice's hands covered my eyes. "Ya Ready?"

Oh how I hated surprises... Carefully, I nodded to him.

Once I could feel his hand fall from my face, the next thing I could see was energy shots flying into the air to hit each other in a flurry of sparks. Like fireworks one would say.

"Happy Birthday!" Racoomes voice was the loudest, but they were all there. Even Jeice who had whispered it in my ear.

The fireworks were courtesy of the Force, and some odd underlings. For they kept going on even after the Force had stopped and surrounded me. Showering me with praise and birthday thanks. Etc, etc...

"You changed your hair." Ginyu told me this, while messing with a strand that had gotten loose.

"The length was getting annoying... Is it weird looking?"

"I think it's cute." Jeice murmured behind me.

Blushing slightly, I turned my head. Changing the subject...

It was a little awkward one could say, my tail was tight around my waist, only moving to brush my shirt back to it's rightful place on both my shoulders. It kept slipping.

The haul I got was interesting. Jeice's 'real' gift was a new brand of sour candy. This triggered something in the back of my skull, but I accepted it without a second thought. Always wanting to try new flavors.

Burter's was a device to make the pod faster, hard to find. Still in the process of being made. But the one he gave was the only working one. I blinked, jeez, it must've taken a while to get it...

Racoome's wasn't much. I don't think he could process much in the peanut sized brain of his. But from the last mission he brought back some of the fruit in a basket. Well, the gesture was kind enough.

Guldo, the scary four eyed creep. Gave me a small wooden craft of an ape. Us when we changed into that form at the sight of a full moon. Luckily that would never happen on Namek... Or here. I think Frieza choose a place that never had a moon. Oh well...

And Ginyu's... Oh Ginyu. He gave me the Ginyu Force outfit. As if I would be joining their league. He said it was for later, so I figured he had something planned in the overgrown skull of his. And for some reason... I didn't like it. But I went along and said thank you to all the presents.

The night carried on, with our boisterous laughter. We played games, like who could power up the fastest, the usual warrior games. I won with the arm wrestling. Somehow, I don't know. It was against Racoome. Oh well. He was probably told to loose.

Something else I noticed, was how close Jeice was to me. It was slightly irritating, how he wouldn't let me more than three feet away from him.

No one bothered us, even with how loud we were. The underlings had ceased their fire, and was joining us in our games.

I was the first to break, yawning loudly. Before rubbing one of my eyes. My training was starting again in about five hours. For the morning training, god, I was going to be horrible...

Jeice looked at me, and touched my shoulder. "Don't worreh about yer trainin'. You ca' take anotha day off." He smiled a bit.

Glancing at him, I shook my head a little. "Nah. I already took a day off. I'd feel bad for ditching Raz like that. I'll suffer through being beat." I murmured this, yawning softly once more.

Jeice watched me with a bit of a narrowed gaze, but he looked away. "At least miss tha mornin' trainin'." He muttered before walking away.

Burter had been watching us, or at least I figured he had been. For he walked over to me, "What was that about?"

Looking at him, I exhaled, "My training..." Looking around, I then shook my head. "I gotta get to bed though. Four hours of rest for training." Soon as I said this, I just walked off.

I don't know if anyone other then Burter knew, but what did I care? I had fun... sure... it was a blast. I felt oddly at ease when we were messing around. And yet... I was upset at myself for getting so comfortable around them. It's like I just abandoned Esk.

Esk... Didn't he abandon me as well?

He wasn't answering my calls... He wasn't bothering to call me back...

Shaking my head, I hit the wall next to me. Having been near my room. With a low breath, I had scared those that were actually awake at that time.

One actually had the gall to walk over and ask if I was alright...

Gazing at him, I only nodded lightly. "Yeah, I've just had a rough night."

"Do you need me to assist you anywhere?" He was acting overly nice.

Blinking once, I shook my head a bit, "Nah, I'll be going to my room in a moment. I can make it there. Thank you."

Hearing the thanks, he seemed to light up. Overjoyed of the fact that the princess of Saiyajins actually said thanks. Or at least that's what I figured.

He watched me for a moment, before nodding. "I'm Haru... Luka's brother..."

That explains it, I was nice to Luka so he told his brother. I nodded a bit, "How's Luka doing?"

"He's alright... Training vigorously." He murmured.

I hesitated, but gestured for him to follow. Beginning to walk off towards my room. It wasn't going to be far, just down the hall a bit further.

"That's good. Tell him to come visit when he has the chance."

He blinked at me, and nodded slowly. "I'll let him know."

I nodded to him, before exhaling. "He was nice." I was at a loss for words. Whilst his brother was green like Luka, if not darker... I think.

We spoke in light terms till I got to my room. "Come visit as well."

"I will." He smiled.

We parted ways as I entered my room. Taking the things I had gotten from the Force to lay them on my desk in the corner of the room.

Within moments, I collapsed on the bed, and quite literally... passed out.

"Ngh..." Waking up oddly refreshed, I sat up in a daze and went to dress. Only when I was only seconds of walking out of the door when I gazed to the clock. I had usually woken up the same time, just ten minutes before the first lesson. Blinking once, I flinched. Staring at my clock now, "...It's... One..." Whispering this, I had missed my first lesson, and was an hour early for my second. I fell to my knees, "Raz... Is going to be upset..."

"Nah. Jeice told me of your late night."

I stood in an instant, staring at Raz who was already in my room. Leaning against the furthest wall. He chuckled a bit, "Morning sleepy head."

… Piecing things together, my face flushed, he was there when I changed...

He blinked, seeming to notice the blush. Shaking his head a bit, "No worries. I closed my eyes."

I watched him for a moment, unsure if I should believe him or not. Deciding to believe him, I had no reason not too. Nodding a bit, I exhaled. "Sorry I didn't notice."

He chuckled lightly, "You would be easy to attack while resting, so vulnerable."

Rubbing the back of my neck with my right hand, I nodded a bit. "I got that a lot back..." I hesitated, "Wanna go train? At least get some practice in before the second." Changing the subject.

He seemed to notice my aversion to talking about my past. At least about Namek... With a simple nod, he and I walked down towards the training rooms...

Six Months Later

"Well now Tyerva, you've become quite the trooper." Frieza's ever so annoying voice ran in my ears as he hovered near me.

He had called me to his throne room, saying something about an important mission I was to go on.

Mission, this was interesting...

"Training everyday?"

"Yes Sir." My voice was low, an automatic response. Yes, I had been training everyday... Somehow, I felt like I wasn't the same person anymore. My Saiyajin mind had came back. Oh how sad I had fallen...

"Good, Good... I have a mission. Radditz, the other monkey." He began, pausing just long enough for me to nod to the name.

"He was reported dead." He commented lightly.

This took me through a loop, Radditz... Died? Wasn't he put on a low level planet?

"Yes, we were shocked as well. So. I am recruiting Raz, another, and You, to go check it out. Your brother and Nappa will be there shortly after."

Ah, I see. They wanted us to go check it out.. but who was the other person I began to wonder.

"And so, Tomorrow you three will be setting off for E... ar... th." He wasn't able to pronounce the name right, hell he could've and I wouldn't have known. I heard someone call it "Eeee Arth." Once... Where the hell did I? Hm... Oh well, I nodded lightly, "Yes lord Frieza." My hair had grown a bit, but I kept cutting it back off to it's short length. Keeping the tail. It seemed to help so my hair wouldn't grow at monstrous speeds.

"Excellent. Now then, Kyerga!" He called.

Huh... A Saiyajin name? I turned my head slowly to look at the female who had just walked in.

She wore the basic Saiyajin garb, simple colors. With … brown hair? That went to her shoulders. Her scouter was red. She bowed to me once she came in, acknowledging that I was her superior. How droll... I hated new people.

"This is Kyerga. Another Saiyajin. We found her not long ago." Frieza informed me.

Oh how funny. I nodded a bit, "And she's coming?"

"Yes. I expect you both to get along." He said this as if He were a parent bringing in an adopted child.

I groaned inwardly a little, looking towards Kyerga a bit. Her name was fairly similar to mine. But she didn't look at all excited.

And that was that. We got our mission assignments... Ready to leave the next day. Raz was going just in case I figured.

We didn't know what we were going to expect on this planet, not that I was worried. I sat in my room, sitting on the edge of my bed. Another mission... I had already placed my keep sake ring in the small hidden area that I kept everything else in. The small device that I used to contact Escargot on was dusty, hardly touched... Hadn't been. He hadn't contacted me at all... And why should I? I didn't see the reason to bother. If he wanted to forget me. Fine.

The night past on without much to note. Nothing seemed important anymore. I didn't day dream as much... I felt suffocated here. Like I had before. But what could I do?

Frieza shown much more attention to I than any other. Which bothered me. And yet... I didn't care in a way.

Vegeta and Nappa had left in the opposite direction of this planet. On a mission. Vegeta seemed like he was always on them.

Nearly thirty minutes left before our departure. I had gotten everything I needed. Which wasn't much. Just a few snacks, and my sour candy I had slowly been eating.

All the training led up to this...

Without a word to Kyerga, who was already positioned outside her pod. She was unable to enter without me safely in mine first. How funny. I spoke with Raz momentarily, mostly just see ya.

I never liked talking while in the Pod. I let my mind wonder, and stare out the window. Disconnecting my pod from the others. I doubted I would do that this time. It being my first mission. I had figured Frieza trusted me enough to come back this time. I had no intentions of staying on the mission planet. There was no point. A world of low level mortals...

And … we were off...

Half a year later.

It would take a year from where Vegeta had been. Only half of one from where Planet Frieza was. So we were there a bit earlier.

Landing, we had done so on a barren area.

Once we were out of the pods, Raz walked over to where I was. To make sure I had gotten through the trip safely. Which I had done, just felt like I was going to die of boredom after the first five months.

"So... I get to spend my 17th birthday on this water logged planet?" My voice was dull.

Raz bowed his head, "I'll make it the best I can Princess."
I figured he would say something along those lines. I merely shook my head, "Nah, Last year was fun. This year is all about destroying these people." My voice was thick.

I hadn't... Killed anyone in years. This was going to be a bit more difficult than I had thought.

Raz watched me for a moment, before glancing to Kyerga who scoffed.

"The princess who can't even kill. How pathetic." Her voice was snotty.

Raz and I glared at her for a moment, as he walked over to her, "I don't know who you think..."

He got cut off.

"I am Kyerga, I have no last name, and as far as you are concerned, I am just another person here to make sure SHE does her job RIGHT."

Raz looked like he was ready to kill.

But wait... My job right? Was this a test? I shoved that Idea to the side of my mind, "Raz, drop it. She can be a little snotty bitch if she wants to be." My voice was low.

"But M'Lady..."

"No buts."

He nodded, and walked back over to me.

Whilst Kyerga just scoffed again.

She was going to be a pain, nothing I could do about it however.

"They're here already!?" A voice rang out from the left side of where we stood.

The three of us glanced over to a three eyed person, who was floating. Oh so they could fly? My scouter went off, raising a brow. "He couldn't be the one who killed Radditz."

"His power is to low." Raz murmured behind me.

It wasn't long before another being came. A White small man with red spots on his cheeks. One with six spots on his head, short as well. Then like flies they all came... Well only one more.

This one though, through me for a loop. A... Namek?
