Chapter Twenty-Eight

(She vanished.)

For a brief fleeting moment, Vegeta could not fully comprehend what happened. He paused his step and looked around the cluttered room in confusion, silently hoping she would reappear and say 'got you' or something equally as childish.

After a few more paused seconds and she did not reappear, he felt his rage boiling inside him again. Here he was trying to teach her a lesson in respect, and she goes and-

The seasoned warrior closed his eyes, quieted his mind and felt out for her energy.

His eyebrows furrowed.

He could not sense her anywhere.

Insolent little -!

His mind screamed at him in anger and threatened to unravel any sense of calm he had left. He started pacing the length of the small bedroom; he actually contemplated killing her. After another minute and nothing changed, he abruptly stopped and closed his eyes again. He took a deep, calming breath and tried in vain to find her.

She was wet and naked….where would she go? He was just about to give up altogether and wait for her to show up again, dismissing her actions as a childish game, one that he would thoroughly address later-

…he paused.

He heard something.

Something echoed in the back of his mind and he knew right away it was from her.

*Come for me…*

The angered prince growled low under his breath; his scarred fists closed at his sides as tight as his eyes as he thought back, *Tell me where you are, NOW little girl!*

When he did not hear anything back for a few impossibly long seconds, he started to question if the voice was really even from her or his mind playing along with her silly games.

His fists began to clench and unclench by his side on reflex. He hated to be made a fool of, but finally, after what felt like an eternity, that echo came again.

*…Apparently where you spend most of your time yesterday…I can still smell your sweat on this tree…you must of slept here, huh? Did you dream of me, Princey?…(a girly giggle)*

"Tsk," he scoffed out loud, suppressing a ghost of a smile as his dark eyes flew open and he instantly started walking towards the balcony with only one thought running through his mind now-

*You better stay put RIGHT THERE this time, little girl, or I promise, you will be sorry…*

His eyes narrowed as he advanced towards the balcony window. He bend through the frame and once again took off towards his secluded training spot, more determined then ever to teach her the lesson he had started.

Reina reappeared high in the mountains where Vegeta had first brought her to train. She looked around cautiously while lowering her ki, effectively suppressing it. She found the small forest adjacent to their sparring grounds and dashed towards it. Although no one was around to see her but the curious and exotic local wildlife, she still felt less expose under some cover then being out in the wide open.

With her impromptu use of the instant transmission, she forgot she was naked. She rolled her eyes and mentally chastised herself as the thick underbrush of the lush forest scratched against her bare flesh. Don't rely on that move all the time! Remember what Goku taught you! You could of broken free of him…OR you could of LET him punish-

She wasn't watching where she was going and her foot caught on a large root that was jutted up from the ground. So preoccupied with her erratic thoughts, the girl fell to her hands and knees with an 'oof', haphazardly bracing her fall.

The young female scoffed and rolled over to a sitting position, inhaling quickly through clenched teeth. Her palms now stung from the rough ground, and her right knee started beading up with blood in a few spots, but it wasn't pain that spurred her anger, but disappointment in herself for being so careless.

She rolled her eyes as she rose back up, then attempted to brush the dirt from her naked flesh, a job she quickly found to be an exercise in futility. She exhaled sharply and refocused her mind.

She cautiously continued her walk around the forest, trying to pick up the prince's unique scent. She eventually ran her fingers across the bark of a large oak tree on the outer edge of a small clearing. She inhaled deeply and smiled. She could smell his sweat and pheromones strongest here, and along with the scuff marks on the ground, she figured he must of spent the night here training. She giggled quietly to herself. By now, he was probably ready to kill her, but she knew he would never-

…..hmm, would he?

She pondered this, mostly less than serious question, then she made the decision to just call out to him; she decided to lead him to her. She didn't want to just go back, because that could be interpreted as a sign of weakness, so she bit her lip and reached out with her mind. She was not surprised in the least when he responded in anger. She even used the nickname from his childhood that he so despised just to rile him up further. Almost immediately she felt his ki rocket towards her, and she also decided to see just how long she could hide from the cocky Saiyan prince.

Her heart fluttered with her resolve and Reina smiled wide as she ran deftly through the trees, scanning the forest floor for a good place to hide. She eventually came across a bubbling stream that led to a quiet, undisturbed lake, hidden deep in the uninhabited forest. She advanced forward and dipped a toe in the shallow water, shivering at the coldness. Pulling back, she decided to crouch behind a nearby cluster of thickets and wait for the irate man. After what seemed like forever to the impatient girl, she eventually felt a very large and familiar ki fly nearby. Reina bit her lip and waited anxiously. Her heart did another one of those nervous dances that made her breath stutter in her throat as she anticipated their meeting.

v^v^v^v^v^

Vegeta arrived at the very tree he had left about an hour or so before, and frowned. He could smell that the defiant girl had been here, but he looked around and saw no signs of which way she may have gone.

"You better get out here where I can see you! NOW! Do not make me come find you girl, you will regret it!" He yelled into the air; a reverberated, hollow threat that he hoped would bait her into showing herself, or at least answer him so he could find her.

He heard nothing back but his own distorted echo, and a cacophony of bird wings rising into the air from his loud, intruding voice. The prince grumbled more death threats low under his breath as his eyes closed and he inhaled deeply. The scent of flowery soap and female pheromones were faint, but his sensitive Saiyan nose could trace them anyways.

His head turned in the direction he smelled them the most, and his eyes opened. He was staring at a forest, dense with trees and foliage. He moved towards that direction, taking flight once he entered the forest. His focused onyx orbs scanned the ground for clues as he deftly weaved a path through the trees, methodical in his search for the girl.

Reina watched as she crouched in the low bushes. She watched the prince fly over her unseen position twice before he turned out of her line of sight altogether. She continued to track his ki and had to stifle yet another snicker at his earlier hollow threat, but soon, she felt his ki disappear as well. Frowning, she closed her eyes and focused her search, but his energy was just gone.

Did he give up and leave?

Why can I not sense him?

Is he suppressing his ki just to fuck with me?

Did he fly west or north last?

Ugh! Where is he?

As these thoughts bounced around in her head, she cautiously rose from her crouched position on the ground to look around. As the crown of her head barely peaked above the thicket and went to pivot left, she felt two strong arms wrap around her midsection with seemingly little effort and hoist her up into the air swiftly.

The girl yelped unintentionally and barely had time to register what had happened before the prince promptly flew her over to the nearby lake and flung her down towards it forcefully.

Reina's eyes went wide as she fell straight down towards the cold waters below. She scrunched her body and proudly stopped her descent, remembering the last time the prince dropped her at the tournament that seemed so long ago now. She looked up in time to see Vegeta's fist coming right at her. She quickly sidestepped, causing him to miss, then she grabbed his outstretched arm and pulled him towards her knee.

Vegeta yanked his arm free at the last second, then growled as he leapt back, a scowl on his face at his foiled plan.

Reina smirked in the air across from the angry man as she got into her fighting stance on instinct. She watched as Vegeta's eyes trailed down her body with a glint of lust, then she suddenly remembered…

she was naked.

With a blush creeping into her cheeks, she rushed forward anyways in an attempt to grabble the older Saiyan in his distracted state, but the vigilant prince moved at the last second. Vegeta now hovered above her and she cried out in surprise as his leg impacted hard with her right shoulder. She plummeted straight down out of the air and into the dark waters below, disoriented.

As the cold water surrounded her, the dazed saiyan female regained her senses and frantically kicked back up to the surface, gasping for air and shivering down to her bones as her head burst through. She raked her hands across her face violently, slinging the water out of her eyes, then glared up at Vegeta as he descended to float just above her position in the middle of the lake.

"I said you would be sorry," his deep voice hinted at amusement as he smirked down at her. His muscular arms were folded tight across his chest as he hovered contently.

Reina's glare tightened and she bit her lip as her body was racked with more uncontrollably shudders from the cold. When his smirk only widened at her predicament, she let a low growl escape her and she quickly disappeared, then reappeared right above the sneaky Saiyan prince. She grinned as he turned his head up just in time to see her leg come crashing down on his shoulder, forcefully pushing him down into the cold water below. She shivered in the gentle breeze as she hovered where he was only moments before, a coy smile spread wide on her damp face. She watched water droplets from her body hit the disturbed surface where he disappeared. Serves you right, she thought smugly.

Her twinkling eyes started scanning the water's rippled surface expectantly, but the prince did not pop back up right away. Her smile slowly faded, giving in to curiosity as she bent closer to the water's distorted reflection of herself, wondering when he would emerge.

What is he-

Vegeta suddenly broke through the surface. He grabbed the startled girl by the shoulders and yanked her back down into the cool lake with him. After a few erratic heartbeats, they both bobbed back up to the surface.

Vegeta had a playful smirk on his face at his surprise victory, but it dissipated to a scowl quick enough as he recalled why they were in the forest in the first place.

"This is a waste of time, girl. Why did you lead me out here? We need to talk about your lack of respect-"

The girl scoffed, "Oh come on Vegeta, I was just trying to get you to loosen up. I wanted to distract you from your anger. You need to lighten up." The girl treaded water in front of him, becoming more acclimated to the temperature now, though her shoulders were above the surface and still prickled from the temperature difference.

'You need to lighten up', was a phrase Bulma had used a lot as well and it really set the prince off. Vegeta narrowed his brows, "I have a right to be angry, you disobeyed! That is NOT something to take lightly! I am the prince-"

"And I am a princess! We are equals, mister, so how about you treat me better, and not tell me what I CAN and CANNOT do!" Reina glared back at him.

Vegeta growled, "I give respect when I get respect. You deliberately defied me! I did not want you to go train with that half wit!"

"Why? Why not? Shouldn't I try to become the strongest I can? HE can help-" but she was cut off.

"I can teach you! Why did you not wait to go with me?!" He stabbed his chest in anger, water spraying wildly around the movement as he unconsciously treaded closer to her, his face an angry mask of suppressed emotions.

Reina blinked a few times, dropped her gaze in contemplation, then shrugged a naked shoulder casually as she brought her eyes back up to his face, "I was mad. You told me I couldn't, so naturally I wanted to prove you wrong."

Vegeta bristled and his voice wavered, "So if I told you not to fuck him, would you do that too!?" His eyes bored accusatory holes into her, and his breathing became uneven as he huffed in anger.

For a moment, the only sounds in the forest were the sounds of the water rippling around them as they floated near one another, and the disharmonized squawks from the native birds still in the area. Vegeta breathed heavily with a scowl on his face, while Reina was calm with a dumbfounded look on hers. She sighed, then quietly broke the silence between them.

"Is that what you were really worried about? You think I slept with….Goku?" The thought sounded absurd to her as soon as she voiced it, but the way Vegeta's face contorted at her words, she knew it was true. He turned his back on her, but not before she noticed his cheeks tinged crimson.

Reina suppressed a smile and shook her head in disbelief before playfully shoving water at the back of the prince's head. His hair was already damp and fallen, but he turned around to her ready to fight anyways.

Reina moved forward quickly, cupped the startled Saiyan's chin and pressed her mouth to his in a forceful, yet passionate kiss. After a lingering moment, her mouth opened and his followed, both eagerly wanting more. She had waited a whole year to kiss him again, and was not disappointed.

When he did not pull away, Reina treaded as close to him as she could and pressed her body to his. Her naked flesh pushed up against his spandex, which did little to hide his own body's reaction to her closeness. She could feel the water move around them, and as Vegeta grabbed her hips possessively, Reina instantly wrapped her legs tightly around his waist. For a few blissful moments they embraced, kissed, and forgot about everything else.

Several minutes into their frantic make out session, Reina reluctantly pulled away and looked the prince in the eyes.

"I would never sleep with Goku," she said through lighthearted giggles, "I see him only as a mentor, a way to get stronger. I consider him a friend too, but nothing romantic at all." She stated this last part dismissively with a light scoff, yet did not look away from the prince's scrutinizing gaze as she tried to convey all the conviction she felt.

They stared at each other for a few more seconds, then Vegeta finally scoffed, smirked, and rolled his eyes, "That moron would not know what to do with you anyways," he stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. The prince's features hardened again as he proceeded to run a callous thumb across her swollen bottom lip; his eyes dropped to shadow his path, then rose and locked with hers again, "I do though," he said softly, his eyes hinting at the dirty thoughts running rampant through his mind.

The girl smiled wide before leaning forward slightly and capturing his rogue thumb between her teeth, scraping the flesh as a submissive groan escaped her. She closed her mouth around his digit, creating a vacuum as she suckled it with wild abandon. Her eyes twinkled with mischief.

Vegeta let a low, contented groan resonate from somewhere deep in his throat before he yanked his hand roughly from her greedy mouth. Before she could react, he leaned in close to the side of her face, his lips ghosting the shell of her right ear. His hot breath washed over her prickled skin as he whispered in a deep, gruff voice, "Take us back to your bedroom…..girl."

Reina bit her lower lip and nodded her head dutifully against his cheek, as the bold man's grip on her hips shifted to her ass then tightened with a need that surprised her. The girl swallowed hard at his brash behavior, then closed her eyes as she tried to focus on teleporting them. Vegeta's close proximity and wandering hands did not help matters. After a few seconds, Reina groaned with frustration, need and desire.

"Vegeta, I…I can not focus with your hands touching me….there," she all but moaned out as his fingers swam around her sex, teasing her with unspoken promises of tactile pleasures.

The prince 'hmph'ed' at her, proud of his ability to fluster her, but pulled his hands away and placed them on her shoulders; their eyes locked again, both reflecting the lust the other felt.

Reina sighed for the hundredth time, then closed her eyes, concentrated on her bedroom, then used her ability to instantly transport them to the destination.

Neither of the Saiyans considered the low gravity of the water they were in and the now normal gravity of the bedroom. The change left them both on Reina's floor in a wet tangled mess of limbs. Once they detangled, Reina threw her head back and laughed. The left corner of Vegeta's mouth even rose for a few seconds in a contented smirk. Then, remembering his plan, the prince's smirk widened into a devious smile as he stood.

"You have to promise me something, " he said sternly, extending a hand to help her up.

Reina cocked an eyebrow as she took his hand. He pulled her roughly to her feet then let go abruptly. She placed her hand on her hip and playfully huffed, "Ugh, what?"

The prince strode slowly towards her, peeling the left strap of his damp spandex suit down in the process, then the other as he continued forward even as her feet retreated backwards from him. His dark eyes smoldered with mischief, and the girl bit her lip as the back of her knees bumped into the edge of her unkempt bed. She could retreat no more. She stared up at him, her face flushed, and her eyes wary.

Vegeta pushed the soggy suit down further until it laid tightly around his waist, low on his hips, exposing his chest and abs. He leaned into her, then poked her hard in the right shoulder with a long finger, "Do not use that move to escape me again. Do you promise me…little girl?" His mouth rose again on one side as he watched her eyes narrow slightly at his choice of tittle for her.

Reina considered the request, and almost used her inherent powers to look into his head to see what he was up to, but decided to just be surprised. What could he possibly have in mind that she wouldn't consent to? She rolled her eyes, but nodded her head ever so slightly.

The prince nodded back, then pushed her down onto the edge of the bed, "Good, scoot back to the headboard, like a good girl."

The young Saiyan chewed the inside of her cheek, another nervous habit, but did as he asked. She used her hands to pull herself back until her rear end hit her pillows; her questioning eyes never left the prince's unwavering neutral expression. She was definitely not used to anyone controlling her, but what the hell?

Once she complied, the prince strode confidently over to the left side of the bed, towards the headboard and leaned in close to her. His nose brushed hers tenderly as his mouth descended upon her lips.

Reina was startled by the man's almost loving action, so unlike his nature, but she kissed the prince back greedily, more than willing to continue their make out session from the forest and content that she had succeeded in deterring him from his anger.

Vegeta knew the girl was thoroughly distracted from his actions when she moaned softly into his mouth as his tongue licked her own pink muscle and swirled freely in her wet cavern. He kept up his assault and his hand crept slowly down to the bottom of the headboard to quietly grasp the fuzzy restraint he already knew was there. He actually struggled to keep a smile from his lips as he pulled the cuff up as quietly as he could.

Reina felt the cold metal before she heard the familiar clicking of the handcuff around her left wrist. She wasn't all that surprised, but more curious as to what he was up to. Vegeta pulled back from their kiss with a broad, devious smile. He walked around to the other side, noting that the girl's eyes never left him. Once on the other side, he grabbed the other restraint and snapped it in place. I am going to thoroughly enjoy this…

Reina sat a moment, then impatiently rattled the cuffs now confining her to the bed, "Really?" She then lowered her tone to her best Vegeta imitation, "You know I can just break free of these, right?" She mocked with a smirk.

Vegeta let out a short bark of laughter at the girl's echo of his own words, then waggled a finger in front of her in warning. He said nothing as he looked her over, helpless and naked on the bed, her damp hair already soaking the white cotton pillow at her back. He wondered if she was soaked anywhere elsewhere too.

Reina watched the man in front of her carefully. She wasn't quite sure what he had in mind, but she had a pretty good idea. She squirmed uneasy under is scrutinizing gaze, but kept her chin up and a passive expression on her face, although she could not help the excitement she felt welling up inside of her. Her breath caught in her throat in nervous anticipation.

The prince slowly circled the bed, his hand on his chin in mock contemplation. He knew exactly what he was doing. His eyes suddenly lit up, as if struck with an idea, and he turned and stepped towards the girl's closet.

"You seem to think I am some pushover," he started as he pulled open the ajar door, "some third class to be manipulated at will." He bent slightly at the waist into the closet as his hands reached for something at the bottom.

Reina listened and watched with growing curiosity, wondering what he could possibly be doing in her closet…..she then remembered what she kept at the bottom of her closet. Oh…ooh nooo…no no no nooo, shit!

Vegeta heaved a large black case out of the closet and it thudded loudly down on the floor between him and the bed. He looked up at the girl on the bed and smiled wickedly.

"Your toys here and I are going to show you otherwise."

Reina gulped as he easily flipped the locks, his eyes telling her he was already familiar with it's stubborn design.

The case was an old worn magician's chest that Reina had asked her adopted human father if she could have when she set off for college. He had agreed, but probably wouldn't have if he had know what she kept in it now.

Reina gulped and stammered in her disbelief at this turn of events, "Wh-what are you doing? When did you go into my closet?!"

Vegeta said nothing as he turned his wicked grin from her to the contents inside the chest. He rummaged around casually, pushing aside a few variously shaped and sized phallic objects until his hands closed on what he was looking for. He pulled up a solid black rubber ball with two straps hanging off of it and held the object out in front of him as he stood tall again.

"Th-that's…what are you going to do with that?" Reina eyed her own ball gag wearily. The idea of anyone using it on her had never really crossed her mind, but as a fleeting fantasy. Now that her secret fantasy was about to become reality, she felt unsure, but her nervousness soon washed away in a flood of apprehensive excitement.

Vegeta shook his head lightly at Reina and stalked towards her, tossing the ball into the air a few times before he stopped next to the bed, completely ignoring her rhetorical questions. She knew the answers to each one of them, so the prince did not feel obliged to respond.

Instead he grabbed the two tethers and held the ball out in front of Reina, "Open."

Reina stubbornly pressed her lips together, but when the prince's eyebrow twitched and she could almost hear his teeth grinding together, she relented and opened her mouth.

Vegeta's grin widened at her submission and he leaned forward and fit the rubber ball between her teeth. He then pulled the straps back behind her head and buckled the two together in a tight hold against her damp hair.

Satisfied that she could no long ask any silly questions, he turned and walked back to the trunk at the foot of the bed. Crouching on his haunches, the prince poked around at the contents of the chest, until he saw a string with different sized light green beads spaced a few inches apart in ascending sizes. He grinned and pulled out the strand, along with a slender, phallic vibrating devise. He turned back to the girl and stalked slowly towards her. He watched the girl's eyes widen in surprise and he thought again, yes…I am going to THOROUGHLY enjoy this.
