Hello everyone! I promised to get this chapter out today for one of my reviewers. Lately I've had a lot of requests for an intimate scene between Vegeta and Bulma and I promise that there will be one but that will be in the coming chapters, but something intimate on a low level might happen…. You never know.

Chapter 10

**Revealed**

The next couple of weeks flew by for me. I spent them getting to know people, listening to gossip of soldiers, and hanging out with Brolly and his friends. The rest of the time was spent taking notes for the cold empire, trying to form out what the Saiyans might be up to. Rarely did I have time to train.

It wasn't too far into the week when Vegeta was finally forced to leave me to myself. Much to his chagrin I must admit. But I constantly had a shadow so I had to be very sneaky about my work. Once Vegeta was finally taken away from me he hardly visited so I hadn't seen him for quite a while so you can imagine my surprise when I felt his energy outside of my room.

Currently I was meditating trying to figure out what a soldier had meant when he had told me "The King's coming down with a cold". I guess it either meant the king really was sick or he was devising a plan to take down the cold empire. Either way it didn't mean much to me, I had already gathered that much.

A sharp rapping finally pulled me out of my calm state. I didn't feel like getting up so I just yelled for him to "Come in." I was surprised when Vegeta practically staggered into my room. His face was haggard, unshaven, and he looked worn out. I smirked inwardly remembering what he had said to me when the receiving had been over. I wasn't the only who could get worn out with royal affairs.

"What happened to you?" He sent me a hateful glare and walked up to tower over me. He was dressed in his regalia. His cape hung loose though like it was tired of hanging out on his back. "Ignorant dignitaries." I had to chuckle a little bit at that.

"And did that keep you up at night, did they prevent you from cleaning yourself? Because I must say dear prince that you look… scruffy." His glare heightened if that was even possible and I was surprised when he bent down and yanked me to my feet. "As you might've noticed princess I am in no mood for your attitude. I came here because I need to spar. And you happen to be the only person available. So get up off your ass and come spar with me." He spat the word princess, like it was a curse.

I looked him over now that I was standing up. The thing that I didn't notice before was how is tail was practically lashing in anger, how his eyes were flaming in defiance, and most clearly how easy it overruled his exhaustion. But that didn't mean he was in a position to fight, especially not me. "And what would you do if I declined?"

"I would kill somebody and then that would be on your conscience. So I suggest you comply." I was about to protest to his very demanding words when he gave me no choice. Vegeta grabbed onto my upper arm with such strength that it felt like he might intentionally snap it if I did refuse. So instead I just let him drag me along.

I did not particularly want to fight this prince. The other one, yes anytime of the week and any hour of the day but this one quite frankly scared me. I didn't let my small fear show but I wouldn't be surprised if he could smell it just as I could smell his rage radiating off of him in erratic waves. It could not just have been the dignitaries that did this to him. Something bad must have happened, but it wasn't like he would tell me now.

Vegeta marched me into his personal training room. The thing was practically indestructible for obvious reasons. He released my arm and then stomped off a couple feet away from me and whirled around to drop into a crouch. With panic I suddenly realized I didn't have my sword. It was definitely my stronger fighting point and I didn't want to be without it while fighting this anger crazed man.

"Can't fight without your precious sword? Absolutely pathetic." It was scary how good he was at guessing my thoughts sometimes. I dropped into a crouch as well and let out a vicious snarl. Then we were engaged in a rage fueled battle. Vegeta was out to kill and he was absolutely ruthless.

His punches and kicks were flying so fast I was having trouble blocking them. When had he gotten so fast, and so strong? I felt a concrete muscle crash into my stomach and I went flying backwards. That was it no holding back. I powered up a good bit and even though I wasn't matching him punch for punch I was finally getting some hits in.

A roundhouse sent Vegeta flying but he stopped himself before he could hit the floor because somehow we had transitioned into aerial combat. He came back at me with fury untamed. Suddenly I felt a power within him so large in its energy that I felt a shiver or fear. The power was pure but it was angry. Just as soon as it came though it vanished and my momentary distraction let Vegeta land one right on my face.

He hit me so hard I was surprised my jaw didn't break. I went crashing into the floor and broke the indestructible ground leaving a small crater. My lip was painfully split and I could feel blood trickling down my chin. Suddenly Vegeta was above me and that rage had somehow disappeared. He was looking at me in a way I couldn't explain but I felt so vulnerable at that moment that I couldn't stand it.

Vegeta crouched over me and pulled out a dagger holding it an inch from my throat. For a second I was afraid that he might kill me but then that was erased by his playful smile. "I win." I snorted and turned away so as not to look at him. I didn't want him to see the fear that I knew was embedded in my eyes. I didn't want him to know that he could scare me so but eventually my heart slowed down and I could look back at the man with a dagger still at my pulse.

"Not for long. Just wait till next time Vegeta." He smirked at the challenge and he swiped the dagger back into his boot. His hand came back up to wipe away the blood, unintentionally staining his white gloves. I was mildly surprised when he raised his fingers to his lips and literally tasted my blood.

Saiyans liked meat raw so blood could be considered a delicacy but it held other properties to. Tasting another's blood was part of the mating ceremony. The partners would have to taste each other's blood so they could seal their vows. I looked at him, openly showing my surprise.

Suddenly his lips were against mine and he was kissing me. His lips were soft and sculpted. It was a strange kiss because I could not only taste him but my blood was mingled between us. He bit softly down on my lower lip then pulled away and stood up pulling me with him. I was totally puzzled with this guy. He had the craziest mood swings.

"As you so kindly put it earlier I am dirty and now so are you. I suggest we both go clean up because we have to dine with dignitaries tonight." Then he swept out of the room his cape that had hung loose earlier suddenly looked more dignified and refreshed like Vegeta. Funny how ones clothes could reflect the person so fluently.

Suddenly I wondered if he had just dragged me here to just confuse the hell out of me. I snorted at myself. It didn't matter anyway. I couldn't ever have feelings for that man because one day I would have to betray him and no one deserved to be betrayed like that. I growled suddenly at my situation and wished that Frieza had my twin instead of me and I could just be the lost one instead. For I knew at that moment that whatever came out of this at some point I was going to break my own heart.

I pulled the razor across my skin, effectively ridding myself of the stubble that had grown during the unyielding meetings with dignitaries. They were all here because father was starting to pull soldiers and allies together for the impending war with the cold empire.

We had long since despised them and they us and Father finally decided that this was the end. Since my fiancée was now safely home he was happy to allow unrestricted warfare to erupt. I stared at my image in the mirror and unconsciously touched my lips. That short kiss had been exhilarating.

The harpy's lips had been so soft. They tasted like hooneki (honey) and villi (the saiyan equivalent of vanilla). No doubt that woman would be an interesting woman to mate. I shook these unbidden thoughts out of my head, getting frustrated.

That woman was a distraction. I knew it was important for the saiyans to have a powerful, likeable, battle woven woman as a queen. This woman fit the description to a tee, like my mother. But she was different in so many ways. I could tell that she would support the image I had for the empire once I ascended. My thoughts of her being a hassle were still there but slowly leaking through the cracks, dissipating in to nothing.

I smirked at my image and strode out of the bathroom. I grabbed my regalia and pulled it on. I pulled on my gloves and exited the room heading for the receiving hall. Wait, that woman didn't know where to go. I didn't really want to escort her but at least if I did she wouldn't show up late and taint her potential image.

I adjusted my course slightly and soon arrived at her door. I rapped sharply implying for her to hurry and open the door. "Come in!" Did this woman not know how to open her own door? I threw it open slightly agitated and stalked into the empty living space. Where in Vegeta was she? "I'm in here Vegeta just hold on a minute." How did she know it was me?

I followed her voice and unwillingly walked into an amusing picture. I guess the hold on had been to prevent me from seeing this. She was pulling some hose on and it looked while she was having trouble getting them over her ass. "Gained too much weight?"

She looked up at me in horror. "NO! I, just, shut up." She was hopping around on one foot comically trying to get the other leg on that somehow mysteriously snaked off again. I walked over to her and held her still. God this woman was not going to make me late trying to put panty hose on! I crouched down and she sent me a panicked look.

I moved my hands to look like I was going to help pull them on but I sent her a devilish smile and ripped them off completely. Somehow I had managed to rip her panties in the process and her hands flew down to try and save me from looking at her.

But before her hands could get there they fell away and she was looking positively horrified. She dropped her dress down that she had been holding up trying to get the hose on. I smirked. She hadn't saved me from seeing though. I laughed inwardly what a vulgar woman.

"I told you to wait out there!" I just shook my head and walked out of the room. It wasn't like I hadn't seen her naked before. I had to change her clothes when she had gotten them all bloodied and blood tends to seep through material. Oh women were so funny.

She came storming out of the room a moment later but I did have to admit she looked good. Her dress was a deep purple and it hugged her in the right places. I didn't even know why she was wearing hose when you couldn't even see her legs until she took another stomping step forward showing off the slit in the side of the dress.

"I would have recommended royal colors." She gave me a withering look and plopped down on the sofa to pull some heels on. The woman was petite and didn't even make it to my chin so it helped when she wore heels, gave her more of a presence. But it wasn't like she needed a bigger presence with her already overinflated attitude.

"Come on woman you will make us late." She shook her head and stalked out of the room before I could and stalked off acting like she knew the way. Good thing she had picked the right hall or that would have been very embarrassing. I matched my pace with hers and led her to the receiving hall.

"Is this where every party is?" She looked over at me wanting an answer. I shook my head in the negative. "Well I haven't seen any at a place other than this. Is there some great dance hall or something?" I actually snorted at that. "Woman this hall serves many purposes but parties happen everywhere." The doors opened at a silent signal from one of the guards and we strutted in to what I could only describe as unexpected.

I quickly grabbed my scouter and hit some numbers really fast using the number that Zarbon had left in the self-destruct message. The dinner had been everything I needed and more. I laughed a slightly crazed laugh hoping this meant that my mission would soon be over. But let's back up first.

Vegeta led me to the table full of foreign dignitaries. It was such a wide range of species that I was surprised. The one thing that connected them all was the slight intimidation in their poses. I guessed that the empire didn't get allies through vote. One particular green man who was quite small looked terrified of the prince. I wondered what Vegeta had done to concoct such an action.

Everyone stood up to show their respect. When we sat down everyone else did as well. The King stood and said his toast. "My friends I am glad that we have finally come to an agreement. To celebrate this new arrangement I am hosting this fine feast. I hope that plans will flow nicely and I hope that you will stand by me no matter what."

A small sound of agreement passed through the dignitaries and suddenly I felt bad for Vegeta. These people clearly were scared shitless by the royals. And the ones who were only slightly intimidated looked like huge snobs. Foods were soon being eaten and snide comments and bits of gossip were being passed around. It was like a huge game of telephone, and I was on the receiving end.

Unfourtanetly it looked like the snobs were sitting closer to me then I would prefer. "This war will be one to be spoken of for centuries." I had balked at that. Wait this agreement was to pull together for war? My suspicions were confirmed when I heard the king lean over and talk to Vegeta. "I think that I will need you on the battlefield son." Vegeta had nodded at his father at that but that had practically made me hyperventilate.

A very nasty bug man touched my hand to get my intention and I wanted to vomit. He gave me what I guessed was a smile to show that he was friendly. "Will you be fighting in this war princess? It would be a great honor to fight by your side. Not to mention it would turn the tide in our favor."

I smirked at him kindly. Why had Vegeta not told me any of these meetings had concerned the war? I knew he had to be busy but really? This was a bomb shell. "I don't know sir but it would be my honor as well." Soon all of the dignitaries wanted to talk to me.

I figured estimates of wanted soldiers, some weaponry, and even some very detailed plans like the first attack. The word was that the saiyans were not waiting we would be initiating the war. Half way through I lost my appetite and turned to Vegeta. "I need to leave." He looked at me strange but then I could see the merit in his eyes. "Can't last two hours with the dignitaries." I smiled at him and shrugged my agreement. He stood up when I did and people looked at us and stopped eating. Everyone watched as I walked out of the room. I listened half-heartedly to the king's explanation of "The princess didn't want to miss the elite spar going on right now." Laughs chorused chasing me down the hall. For some reason this news had rubbed me the wrong way.

Zarbon didn't pick up for a minute letting me remember everything that had passed as well as that horrible dream. I shuddered a little bit but otherwise smiled to myself. At least my heart would not be broken because I had no feelings except for a slight curiosity towards the prince and some attraction but that was it. Hopefully all of the information earned would gain me my ticket out.

Bulma had left just moments ago and I was a little worried. I had an inkling that she was working for Frieza. I knew for a fact that he had erased her memory and probably planted new ones. My mother had told me that we should let her learn to trust us once again. That we should let her memories come back.

That's why I hadn't told her about the war earlier. With all of the meetings going on I would be too busy to watch her and the shadow that I had hired for her was off for the night because I said I would watch her. Suddenly I needed to go get her before she divulged things to Frieza. I just really hoped that she wouldn't think me crazy and try to attack.

I looked over at my father. "I'm going father. I think you might want to get ready for it. This war will confirm my suspicions I'm sure." He nodded to me. Then I raised my voice so everyone could hear me. "I think I'm going to go check out that spar too."

I left the room so fast I didn't hear the laughs that echoed my leave as well. If I was going to convince this woman of who she really is I needed to make a pit stop. I found Brolly and Kakarot at the elite spar. I just sent them a look and immediately they knew what was going on. Kakarot quickly knocked out his sparring partner and Brolly who hadn't been fighting both walked up to me.

"Want me to go get Radittz" asked Kakarot. I gave a nod and he touched his fingers to his forehead using his IT. We were halfway to Bulma's room when Kakarot showed back up with his brother. Once he was with us we flew the rest of the way. I kicked the door down and heard the surprised gasp of the woman as I caught her red-handed. "WAIT" I commanded. So you could imagine my surprise when she stood up and lunged at me the opposite of what I commanded.

I lunged at Vegeta driven by primal instinct. If an animal is attacked it will most likely attack back. I had just been telling Zarbon about the whole surprise attack when they had busted into my room. I screamed in rage when suddenly my arms were being held behind my back by my brother.

I kicked out my legs and thrashed around but suddenly Goku was there restricting my legs as well. Vegeta with a nice red scratch down his chest walked over to the scouter and picked it up. "Sorry but this line is having technical difficulty. I advise you to go fuck yourself." I stared in horror as he crushed it and looked back over to me with a wicked glint in his eyes.

I didn't say anything but just glared and kept growling through a hand over my mouth. I licked the hand to try and scare it off but the person only laughed. "Feels good babe maybe you can do that somewhere else." "Shut it Radittz the poor girl is probably traumatized." That was Vegeta…. So he wasn't going to kill me?

"Set her down on the couch but keep her confined." I didn't struggle as Goku sat down and pulled me into his lap. The position was neither awkward nor uncomfortable. It just made me angry. Vegeta bent down so we were eyelevel. Radditz's hands were no longer on my mouth but Kakarot had my hands confined with his own and my legs restricted with his own as well. I glared at Vegeta.

"Don't worry woman I won't kill you. I always had an inkling that you were a spy but straight contact to Zarbon? You are more of a weapon then I thought, surprising. Tell me, what did Frieza tell you? I know he changed your memories but I don't think I understand just how bad he damaged you."

I wanted to spit in his face so I did. "You are a liar Vegeta." He wiped the spit off of his face. "I'm not even going to tell you how many times people have said that and died right where they stand, because one thing I take pride in is how I'm not a coward in any description of the word, so therefore I feel no need to lie. Ever. But I knew you might feel hostile towards me and we don't particularly have many memories through your childhood so I brought some…. Trigger objects."

My eyes wandered around taking in everyone in the room. Brolly, Radittz, Vegeta, and Goku were all here. Though I couldn't really see Goku. Suddenly that pain was back dull at first then searing like a raging fire, totally uncontained. I screamed out in pain and Goku let go of me out of surprise.
I gripped my head in pain.

"Vegeta do something!" Someone yelled but I couldn't make out who it was because of my current state. "I think her brain is trying to fight through whatever Frieza did. I don't think he erased them but rather put up a roadblock and just replaced the lost time with false images. Just let her try to get through herself." I let out another blood curling scream. Then I went ozzaru.

Everyone around me scattered and let out sounds of surprise. It was next to impossible to transform without a moon but I had remembered something and it made me shift into my ozzaru. I remembered it so clearly. It was an image of the moon so bright in its power. But it was the image of an inner moon. A moon within myself.

The roof and walls gave way under my size and suddenly I was half in half out of the royal palace. The glaring sun sent heat waves against me but I didn't notice because my ozzaru was talking to me.

Listen to me. He is right. Our prince does not lie. Calm down and it will all come back in time. But you should know that you should not tell Frieza anything of the war or Saiyan Empire for that matter. Pick your own allegiance yourself or the empire but do not trust the cold empire. They betrayed you. They do not deserve you. Think hard on your father. Think of how he really died. Ask around, the truth shall be revealed.

Then my beast let me take control of my body and I transformed back to my regular shape lying completely naked before men that I wasn't sure about. But I didn't have time to protest before I blacked out from the still blinding pain.

I stared openly at the little boy before me. He had something behind his back apparently a gift for me. "Don't think I'll do this again little girl but here." He then thrust the gift at me. I was surprised to see a container of strawberries. They came from a planet called Earth, the planet that the garden was modeled after. I smiled down at my favorite food ever. I looked back up with a huge smile on my face.

I threw my hands around the little boy and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I saw him blushing as I let go. He rubbed his cheek absently like he wasn't even aware he was doing it. "Thank you, prince." His blush darkened but he just waved me away and left. I smiled as he closed the door and eagerly opened my package of strawberries.

"Strawberries" she mumbled. I looked down at the woman who was undoubtedly dreaming. I smirked at her. That was her favorite food. Funny that she would dream of food after something as ground shattering as replaced memory.

The woman had been asleep for three days straight. This was the first thing I had heard from her. I wasn't often by her bed side but I did come to check to make sure that she wasn't caught running back to Frieza.

The doctor had said that she was sleeping off her stress so it might be a while before she wakes up. I had glared at him when he said that. The first attack on the cold empire was supposed to be tomorrow but since we didn't know what Bulma had leaked to the cold empire we had exterminated the idea of a surprise attack at all. We were now just waiting for Frieza to come at us. We would have an advantage on our home terrain anyways.

"Kiss" I looked down at the woman again. Her eyes were open and she was looking at me intently. I probably didn't hear her correctly. "Kiss me" she said again. I looked down at her in surprise. Did she just order me? Apparently she was impatient because her hand shot up to intertwine it in my hair. She gently pulled my face down to hers making sure she had permission. I was too surprised to object. Her lips didn't crash or clash they cascaded against mine like a gentle river. It was a kiss of someone lost and looking for a safe harbor. I kissed her back making sure to let her know I would be her harbor. This woman had a rough road ahead of her but as long as she had a rock she would be okay.

I bet ya'll were not expecting for that to happen! MWHAHA! Don't worry this fic still has someways to go! Frieza ain't dead yet and he sure as hell will be by time I'm done with him. Yvonne I hope this was everything you wanted and more. Now guys I hope this inspires you to review. AND thanks SO much for getting me to 100. Now lets get to 150! WHOOP WHOOP! I shoot for the stars

Me: Wow that was the longest chapter in this fic!

Vegeta: So?

Me: APPRECIATE!

Vegeta: (smirks) Never
