I really don't see how some of you authors keep up with all your
stories. I've got four different stories at the moment, and I can hardly
keep up with them. So…I apologize in advance if chapters come out slower
than you'd like. I prefer quality over quantity. Ummmm…thanks for all the
reviews! You're all so nice. ^_^ I don't really have much else to say,
but this chapter will be longer, I promise. Happy reading!

1 Chapter Six
Makoto growled angrily as she scurried down the hallway. Her head was pounding from the bump it had taken when Rei blew her against the wall, but she wasn't about to let Nappa find out she'd let the princess out of her bed. The headache was nothing compared to the pain Nappa could inflict if he felt like it. Minako and Usagi were behind her, struggling to keep up. They weren't Saiya-jin, and therefor weren't as used to the physical exertion she could withstand. Ami had opted to stay in Rei's room.
They'd been delayed when leaving the room by Raditz, who had a strange and desperate need to talk to his mate about the most ridiculous and trivial thing. Then, after Makoto had successfully pummeled him into a nearby wall, they'd taken off down the hallway.
"There she is." Minako said, happy that she could stop running. She was a decent fighter, but Makoto could run her into the ground when necessary.
"Did Nappa see you?" Makoto asked, a worried look on her face.
"Of course he saw me." Rei glared at her friends. "I won't let him hurt you. He can sleep on a couch if he does." She stomped off, back to her room. The others followed, pressing for an explanation as to what had happened, but she refused to say.
Once they got back to Rei's room, she grabbed a book off of the shelf, settled back into bed and began to read. Ami didn't ask any questions. Silently, she approved of the book Rei had taken from the shelf. Usagi and Minako offered to watch Rei while Makoto went to the doctor to get some painkillers. Nappa stormed in a few minutes after she left.
"What the hell was that all about?" He demanded. Rei ignored him, finished the page she was on and then looked up.
"What?" She asked innocently.
"That bitching at the prince. Why?"
"He's a bastard. He hurt my maid, and I felt the need to reprimand him for it. Is there a problem with that?" She glared at him, her violet eyes flashing with anger. Nappa wasn't exactly sure why she was so angry, but he decided not to push it.
"Where's Makoto? She was supposed to keep you in bed."
"She went to get some painkillers for her headache. I had to blast her into a wall." Rei shrugged and went back to her book. Nappa growled and stormed out of the room.
He barely missed Makoto in the hallway, which she was glad of. Instead of going to the doctor to find her, Nappa decided to go back and see how the prince was holding up. He was still a bit confused as to what was going on.
* * *
Vegeta sat down after the Queen of Mercury left and stared at the table. How could he be mated to that…that slave? She wasn't a Saiya-jin. She didn't have a tail…It was highly unlikely that she was only half-Saiya- jin, either. Saiya-jins almost never took mates from other races. Toma and Raditz were both strange, or so Vegeta thought.
It had just been a ploy…a trick to make Dai realize how much she wanted him. And to show her that she couldn't have him. It couldn't have backfired like that…could it? It just…wasn't possible…
And…Didn't that bitch-queen say her daughter's name was…Ami…This girl was also named Ami, or so Rei had said. But there was no way they'd taken any slaves from Mercury. And they'd never take royalty as a slave. They'd hold them for ransom or simply kill them.
"Vegeta…" His father growled. "What was your sister complaining about?"
"I…don't know. She seems to think that I'm mated to her maid, but I don't see how it's possible. The girl didn't have a tail, and I doubt she's half Saiya-jin." Vegeta sighed. "Rei is probably just confused. Nappa said that she wasn't feeling well this morning."
"Why is this even an issue?" The king demanded, glaring at his son.
"I was simply using her as a tool to get back at Dai. Dai thinks I'd rather be with a slave than with her now, so it worked in that respect."
"Baka." The king muttered, striding out of the room. Vegeta smacked his head on the table and started grumbling to himself.
* * *
The Queen of Mercury didn't bother to disguise her tears as she wandered around the palace. King Vegeta had been kind enough to allow her to stay at the palace for as long as she wanted. She didn't care about that though…she just wanted her daughter back.
She would have looked for her daughter before this point, but Frieza had been pressing her and the other kingdoms in the Silver Alliance to join with him, and she'd been afraid that, if he knew she had a missing daughter, he'd use something like her for leverage. Now, he was starting to back off, even if just a little, and she missed the girl so much.
"Haya-sama…" She heard a familiar voice say. She looked up and saw Makoto, princess of Jupiter. Midori's daughter…
"Makoto…it's nice to see you." She smiled.
"What are you doing on Vegeta-sei?" Makoto asked. Rarely did the queen's visit Vejiita-sei. The girls only came because Rei had visited their planets when she was younger, and they'd become very good friends, and now Minako lived there as well. Not to mention, Makoto liked to see her father.
"I…was simply looking for Ami-chan…The prince said it was impossible for her to be a slave on Vejiita-sei, but I just have this feeling…" The queen sighed and stared at her feet.
"That's just too weird…" Makoto said, stepping back to get a better look at the queen. "Rei's maid…her name is Ami…she looks just like you…" Makoto grinned, grabbed the queen's arm and dragged her down the hallway.
* * *
(I could end it here, but I'm not that mean ^_^)
Ami sighed and picked up another book. She'd already read through one, but she'd already read it before, so it was easy to get through. She was really getting bored. Normally, she didn't have a problem with reading all the time, but now, she was itching for…something she couldn't quite put her finger on…
Her train of thought was interrupted as Makoto burst back into the room. She was dragging and person with her, but Ami couldn't quite make out who it was. She was pretty sure it wasn't a Saiya-jin, based on the woman's coloring…so similar to her own…
"Makoto…what are you doing? Haya-sama, what are you doing on Vejiita- sei…" Rei asked, putting her book down.
"I was…inquiring to your father about my daughter…I have a feeling she's on this planet, but your brother seems to think otherwise."
"My brother's a bastard." Rei snorted.
"Anyway, Ami, I think I figured out how you're a Saiya-jin. Haya- sama, wasn't your husband half Saiya-jin?" Makoto asked.
"Yes…he was…" The queen stared in disbelief as Ami shot up out of her chair.
The resemblance was undeniable. Both had the same blue hair and blue eyes. They were about the same size, as well. Ami's mouth was hanging open, slightly. The queen simply looked shocked.
"Ami-chan…" She whispered. Her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell to the ground with a small 'thump.'
"Oh my god…" was all Ami could get out.

Well, it was a bit longer. Not a whole lot, but a little bit. I hope you liked it. Also, I've got two different people who are hopefully going to be beta-readers for me, so these chapters should get better. It might take more time to get them out, but the quality will be a lot better. And, I've started my side-story for Rei and Nappa. It might take a while to come out, but I'm working on it. Read and review! ^_^
