Chapter Seven
I awoke the next morning to find myself alone in my bed to which I was glad; it would have made it all the harder to leave my love if I had to gaze upon his face. I rose and with a slight numbing pain in my groin and remembered our making love, yes I knew it was making love for he had touched me in the most of intimate ways, ways in which I knew he would never touch Iona. Then I felt the renewed tears begin to fall from my eyes at the knowledge that if I were to stay it would be only as his mistress, his private whore, and what would happen if the others found out, if Iona found out.
With renewed determination I made my way into my bathing chamber and quickly showered and dried myself; pulling my hair into a messy bun I quickly changed into a simple set of travelling clothes which consisted of a blue pair of trousers and a blue tunic.
I grabbed my small bag the one which I had come with and gathered some of my more practical clothing as I knew I would not be able to wear the stunning attire I had acquired whilst here.
Slipping on a pair of lace up boots of grabbed my travel cloak and secured it upon my shoulders; then grabbed my bag and my money which I had received for my service of employment and ran from my room.
I ran as fast as I could from the palace and towards the small transport shuttle which went to the central city every morning to drop of and pick up various workers.
After exiting the transport I made my way towards the main transport dock where I knew I could purchase transport to earth. I handed over my money to the ships captain and boarded the ship, taking myself immediately to my cabin where I threw myself upon the small bed and cried; cried for myself, for Vegeta, for all the things I was leaving behind and for the fact that I would never find love again, for no one could ever compare to my proud and cold king.
………………………………
The trip back to earth was slow and arduous and as I had on the way to Vegetasie I stayed in my cabin only venturing out for food and exercise. It was on my second day that I actually rose with enough brain power to actually notice a small circular mark upon my neck. I touched it and immediately felt a warmth running towards my loins making me shudder.
I had never pleasured myself, but this mark seemed to call to me for release so every evening I would find myself lying in bed and thinking about Vegeta and I would stroke the mark. Thinking of his hands and lips upon my body as my own hands began to roam, soon I would find myself shuddering with pleasure, nothing like what Vegeta caused me but pleasure just the same, and afterwards I would feel even more empty and something I had never felt before… ashamed.
It had been about three months onboard the ship and I had began to feel quite ill, I had thought that maybe it was just space sickness or some kind of viral infection, but as time passed I noticed several changes in my body.
By breasts became swollen and tender, by stomach became larger and I constantly felt butterflies and also my monthly cycle had ceased which caused me worry.
I visited the ships medic who ran several blood tests upon me and declared with a smile that I was carrying a child, a male child and a Saiyan one at that. To say I was shocked was an understatement; I was carrying the kings son, the heir to the throne of Vegetasie; Kami what was I to do.
My sickness stopped at about five months, one month before the ship landed on earth; there was no doubt now that I was carrying a child for my stomach protruded greatly and my son… Vegeta's son kicked constantly, I often found myself rubbing my hands upon my stomach and smiling, I may have lost my love but I had gained something marvellous a child, his child, the product of our one night of love.
Shortly before landing on earth I contacted an old friend from my collage days his name was Krillen, he had always been a trustworthy friend and so I told him my whole story, he was very supportive and rented me a small house in the mountain regions of the central capital of earth. For since the great wars all of earth's countries and regions had been renamed. Central capital was what was originally known as the eastern region and held a warm and natural environment, one in which I wanted to raise my child, it was also where I had been borne.
Landing on the outskirts I was met by Krillen who looked just the same as when I had last seen him, he was a short man of barely five feet and had a bald head, he also had the smallest nose that at times it looked like he did not have one at all but he did, how else would be breath. With him was his wife, who he had recently married, she was about my height and blond, with blue eyes she seemed quite friendly and genuine.
After our initial greetings, Krillen took me to my new place of residence, it was a small cottage type capsule house with a small garden and now other house around for miles (think of Goku's house) it was just perfect.
I also found out that after my father and his lover Yamcha had been confirmed as dead, the company had been brought by several smaller companies and broken down and absorbed, the money of which I found went to me as the only living relative.
So now I was to be a wealthy woman in my own right, yet all I wanted to be was Vegeta's mate, I did not care for wealth or trinkets, I did not care to be queen which is what I would have been if I had been the one Vegeta mated all I would have ever wanted would be him, even if I had to work to support us.
I bid my friends good bye and settled in to my new abode, Krillen said he would bring the papers by in the next few days after I had settled in, after all I had not had the money before, so a few more days would make no difference.
At the end of the week Krillen came as he said he would and brought the legal papers for me to sign, I turned out well that he had chosen to be a lawyer as I knew he would never cheat me like so many others would have.
He also brought out a letter which he had received two days ago, from a Commander Bardock who was searching for a Miss Bulma Briefs of earth, he had yet to reply to the letter as he wanted to know what my feelings were on the matter.
Seeing my face crumple he smiled weakly at me and placed the letter into the fire before I had chance to change my mind. He also gave me a small disc which he said I might find interesting.
Later that evening after he had left I placed the disc into the laptop which I had purchased so that I could continue my scientific work and began to read the information taking in the words and allowing them to fully penetrate my mind with their meaning.
Vegetasie
Vegeta had arose from his sleep with Bulma still wrapped in his arms and had smiled, truly smiled for the first time in years. Gently he untangled himself from her and gathered his clothes kissing her on the forehead before he silently left.
As he entered his chambers he heard the icy voice of Iona "enjoy your fuck my mate" she purred.
"We are not mated yet Iona, and I would watch what you say to me" he hissed back at her, his mood quickly turning sour.
"Yes my king forgive me" she replied, rising from his bed to stand by his side; as she placed a hand upon his shoulder Vegeta shuddered and quickly moved into his bathing chamber locking the door behind him.
Iona sighed and told herself that things would change when she became queen, once she was, she would never be without the love of a man, for she already had several swooning over her beauty and although she wanted the power that Vegeta could give her and to bridge the rift of both their empires she really only wanted one man and that was Nappa (Yeah Yeah I know makes you want to puke).
She gathered her clothing and quietly left Vegeta's rooms making her way to her own to wash and dress for the day's events.
Vegeta felt Iona leave his chambers and sighed in relief, he really did not need her shit at the moment. Quickly finishing his shower he dressed and went to his throne room ready for the arduous task of running a kingdom, yet felt happier than he had for a long time knowing that the blue haired human woman would be there to ease the loneliness he had felt for as long as he could remember.
Yes he had tried to keep his distance from her, and yes he had been hurtful to her yet he could not, he found that he had to have her and at any cost, so that was why he had gone to her the night before to sate that desire to have her, hold her, love her which was a concept that was foreign to him. Vegeta knew that he had to mate Iona but he would keep Bulma as his mistress, his lover and companion. He would play the doting mate in public and public only, once he was behind closed doors he would spend his time with Bulma making love to her every chance he got.
He was brought out of his musings by his mother who was making the preparations for the mating ceremony which was taking place at the end of the week, she smiled at her son and informed him that everything was ready and that all the people were rejoicing in their king taking a mate, although that was not entirely the truth. If truth be told, his people were in an uproar that he had taken the ice maiden as his mate, even if it was for political reasons, they all thought he deserved a mate of his own choosing, even if she was not of their race. Many had stated that they would gladly go to war for him.
Cyan smiled and quickly left her son with his own thoughts for she still had much to do and she wanted to see how Bulma was doing.
Making her way to Bulma's lab she found it empty, she also did not fine her with Chi Chi or Bardock, beginning to worry, Cyan went to Bulma's chambers and found them empty, her closet was open and clothes were scattered on the desk, chair and floor. She stopped when she past the bed and took in the scent, a scent so clear to her that she would know it anywhere VEGETA.
Making her way back to the throne room, Cyan began to go through many emotions, disgust, anger, shame, happiness and understanding, she knew that Bulma was in love with her son, and she knew that Vegeta felt something for the human but she did not know what until now.
Entering the throne room, Cyan went straight up to her son and slapped him hard across his face "You have some explaining to do Vegeta" she screeched causing him to wince at the high decibels her voice could reach.
"What the fuck is your problem MOTHER" he spat, while regaining his sensitive hearing.
"Bulma, what did you do to her, where is she, you had better not have hurt her" Cyan spoke her voice holding the authority only a mothers could.
"She is fine, I left her in her chambers, I would never harm her" he answered, anger building at his mothers accusing words.
"Well she is not there, she has taken her clothes and gone" Cyan retorted, folding her arms tightly across her chest to stop from slapping him again.
"WHAT… WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE I GONE, I TOLD HER SHE COULD NOT LEAVE ME" he shouted, suddenly realising what he had just admitted to his mother.
"My son I had no idea" Cyan sighed, placing a hand upon her sons shoulder, realising just how much he truly had told her in those few words.
"Guards" Cyan called "Search the palace and the central city for the human woman Bulma Briefs I want her found NOW" she finished screaming her last word, making the guards jump and flee from their raging queen.
I took the rest of the day for the guards to ascertain that Bulma had left the planet and was already on her way back to earth, and although it pained him in a way he could not describe Vegeta knew he could not go after her, not without raising suspicion and with his upcoming mating ceremony, so it was left to Bardock to find the woman and bring her back even if it was in chains he would not let her go, he would chain her to the walls of the darkest dungeon if it meant it would keep her by his side.
The day of the Ceremony came and went, it was a lavish affair, yet several people were desperately unhappy, Cyan at loosing someone she thought of as a friend, and who held her sons cold dead heart, Chi Chi, who was now pregnant and missed sharing her experience with her only true friend and of course the king himself who had become more cold and distant over the short days.
Bardock had communicated with the transport ship in an attempt to get it to turn around, however there had been several electrical storms on the outer rims of the planets gravity pull which meant that no ships could leave or land on the planet (yes convenient I know).
So Bardock would be forced to wait until the storms passed which would be several months, before beginning his hunt, and once he located her he himself would go and retrieve her although he did not want to see her as Vegeta's mistress as he felt for her as one does a daughter and he knew if he had one he would not want her being second to any man, even his own king.
So they patiently waited, waited until the six months it would take for the ship to land before Bardock began his search for the elusive Bulma Briefs.
As the months passed, Vegeta began to grow colder and darker, he had broken off several alliances with distant planets who had griped about trivial matters and so he had sent troops off to purge those planets, even taking out several himself just to relieve his tension and anger.
It was on one winters night when Vegeta had returned from his latest purge that he walked into his chambers to find Iona writhing underneath Nappa in a mass of limbs. Vegeta had not been alone either, Kakkarot had been with him as they were to spar since they had spent several days upon the ship returning and both had been itchy to release some pent up rage, also Kakkarot was too scared to go to Chi Chi as she had developed an unsaiyan amount of mood swings which usually ended up with her either lashing out at him, crying or demanding an abnormal amount of mating, the latter he did not mind but the others he cringed at.
In a fit of rage and anger Vegeta had blasted both of the beds occupants and nearly killed them both, however Kakkarot in one of his brighter moments had intervened, and stated clearly that he needed to publicly execute them before the people for their betrayal of the crown and the empire.
Reluctantly Vegeta had agreed and Kakkarot had quickly called the guards to take them to the dungeons to await execution at the king's hands.
The execution happened quickly and the people rejoiced in the fact that the king was free of the ice maiden, and as it had been her betrayal, the ice-jin empire still had to uphold the treaty.
As the months passed Vegeta remained as cold as ever, he even began to cut himself of from his people as the darkness grew within him yet he did not know why, why was he feeling this way, sure he wanted Bulma, but this was getting beyond a joke, almost every night he awoke in a cold sweat, sometimes he would feel ill, other times he would get stomach cramps and have strange hungers it was all very confusing to him and this only soured his mood even more.
A/N: the next chapter should be up soon… and thanks everyone
