Maturity



Chapter Seven: Sanctuary on the Twenty-Fourth Floor!



Nanake lazily staggered into the condo, completely emotionaly worn out. She hung her pendant on a hook on the wall and flopped down on her back in the comfertable sofa that was in the living room. She didn't rest long though... coz she felt a SICKENING familiar power level about a half a mile away. Surely it would be here in seconds so she rock bottomed her power level and froze in place.

("It can't be you... It CAN'T be...") All of her muscles tensed nervously as her ki level started to rise again in fear, mush to her dismay as she tried to stop it.





Outside a tall condo building, Vegeta had lost whatever feel he had of her. He growled and turned and prepared to fly off in another direction when he felt someone's power going up. He grinned evilly and looked down at the building.

"She's in there... And she's scared." he muttered and then smirked, "She knows I'm here."





Nanake left the condo so that he didn't come in through the window, trash Tetsuo's home, and then kill Tetsuo to get her. She tiptoed down the hall and then snuck into the elevator. Once she pushed the ground floor button and the doors closed, she realized her grave mistake as the elevator started moving-

The elevator shaft was made of glass, and people could see from the inside.



She gasped and huddled in one of the corners, whimpering, afraid. She could see Vegeta right above her, and no doubt he would notice her since she was probably the only thing moving in the building at this hour! She prayed to whatever God that would listen that he wouldn't notice the moving elevator she was in... but too bad for her that no one was on her side tonight.



Something moving behind the glass caught Vegeta's eye and he floated casually over to it. He was just about there and he was about to peer inside.



Nanake squeezed her eyes shut and clasped her hands together in prayer, when she felt something in her hand. Her eyes shot open and she looked at the invisibility braclet Ophillia had given her! She must have taken it off and forgot it was even in her hand! She quickly slipped it on and looked out in horror and relief of her luckily good timing to see Vegeta peering in, floating downward with the elevator. When it reached the ground level, it dinged brightly and cheerily, and the doors opened. She saw Vegeta give an akward confused look at the elevator and tiptoed out carefully... but ironically, not carefully enough.

She tripped and fell on a rug that was sticking up right outside the elevator door and she hit the floor with a thud. She quickly got up and looked out the window at Vegeta who was now looking straight at her. She gasped and her mind buzzed,

("But-But he can't see me!!!") She looked down at her wrist, then to the floor, and then back at Vegeta in horror, who was viciously licking his lips with a devilish smirk on his face. She murmured,

"No... No... No please..." She bolted down the hallway and screamed at the top of her lungs,

"SHI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



Vegeta smashed through the glass elevator and skid to a stop in the hallway watching her run. He chuckled evilly and looked down at the floor at the broken braclet and smashed what was left of it with his foot.



Nanake panted, running down the hall and then skid to a stop when she remembered about her pendant. She gasped when she saw it was gone. She remembered taking it off and hanging it. Her eyebrows knitted together as the wheels in her head turned,

("If I can get my pendant... then I can make him forget why he came here...") She gulped, ("But first I have to get all the way up to the twenty-fourth floor!") She jolted as she saw Vegeta saunter around the corner, taking his time just like all those horror movie murderers. Letting the victom run and find a dead end, while he just stalked slowly to increase the deathly fear. She shrieked and ran further down the hall. She flung open the door to the stairway and started clambering up the steps, not thinking straight enough to fly. Vegeta followed, close behind, zipping from flight, to flight quickly after she had covered it. She panted heavily as she passed floor fifteen. Vegeta grabbed one of her ankles and she screamed terrified. She delivered him a swift kick in the jaw and he let go, smirking, unaffected by it. Nevertheless she continued pounding up the stairs as he continued his game.



Her veins were throbbing in pain, from going against their bond. She tried hard not to even think about any of that. She suddenly felt him grip the back of her neck and pull her against him after turning her around. He forced his tongue into her mouth and rammed her body up against the wall in the stairway. She faultered for just a moment and enjoyed the sensational feeling of being in his arms again, but then quickly shook it off and pushed him away. She brushed her lips with her wrist vigorously as she scurried upwards again. Vegeta licked his lips and chuckled,

"She's gotten stronger over these past months if she's managed to weaken the bond... yes, she may be able to weaken it, but never able to break it. It'll never die." He didn't move, but just hollered up a few floors to her, making his voice bounce off the walls in an echo,

"You know you can't escape me, Nanake! Why don't you just come down and be a good girl?"

"GO AWAY!" She shrieked as she clambered on.

"Come on, Nanake," Vegeta stalked up the stairs after her, hearing her pounding footsteps above him, "It'll be just like old times... You REMEMBER the old times, don't you, Nanake?"

"LEAVE ME ALONE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed frantically.

Her shrieks made him shiver with delight as he quickened his pace. There wasn't anything that turned him on more than a good hunt.

"Come now... don't be difficult..." He smirked as her heard her scream and the sound her her tumbling down a flight of stairs made him smirk. When he rounded the next corner and started up he saw Nanake moaning in pain, holding her arm and leaning in a corner almost in tears. He stalked up to her and snickered, "In the corner now are we? Going to behave now?"

Before he could snatch her up, she rolled out of the way and started staggering up the stairs, holding her arm, and her injured one over her stomach. She whimpered as she continued up the stair at a grueling pace. She lets a few tears of relief fall from her eyes when she saw the sign that said "Floor Twenty-Three," and she tried quickening her pace. Right as she opened the door to floor tweny-four just a crack, Vegeta slammed it shut again and turned her around, forcing his body aginst her, fondling everything from A to Z on her and then he stopped at her stomach. He gave it a puzzled look as to why it was larger, but by time he figured it out, she had pushed him over the railing, letting him fall a couple floors down. She opened the door and dashed back to Tetsuo's condo.

Enraged, Vegeta blasted upward and smashed through the door after her. He saw her go into one of the rooms and he smashed through the door, quickly after her, sending splinters of wood flying in the air.

Nanake had barely managed to grab her pendant off the hook when Vegeta came crashing in. She backed away slowly as he advanced on her, his face twisted with anger and rage. She had backed herself against the closed window and she searched for the handle to open it with her hand behind her back, staring at him in fear. She heard a door click, as he did and they both turned to see Tetsuo enter the room.

"Nanake?" He asked groggily as he stepped into the room, "What's going on?" His eyes widened as he saw Vegeta, "Who are you?"

Vegeta snarled and glared back at Nanake with even more rage, so much that his eyes looked like they were glowing red.

"You BITCH! You unfaithful little BITCH! Once I'm finished with him, I'll make you PAY!" He roared.

Nanake swung open the long window and stepped out on the edge as Vegeta stalked towards a quivering Tetsuo.

"Vegeta!" She called with no tone of fear in her voice, but a lower tone which caught his attention curiously. He saw her standing on the sill, looking in at him, eyes on him, hands behind her back innocently and smirking. She then started to fall backwards with a cute little smile and he lurched towards her only to have his hand just miss her tail by an inch. He was halfway out the window watching her fall a few floors, and then blast off in hurry to the skies. He snarled and quickly followed. She flew as fast as she could, which, unfortunately, wasn't fast enough, Vegeta caught up with her no more than a mile and tackled her in the air, wrapping his thick arms around her angrily. She screamed in pain when he squeezed her too tightly only to have him cup a hand over her mouth as he flew on. She was terrifed... and she didn't know where they were going. She managed to shake his hand away from her face and shriek,

"VEGETA PLEASE LET ME GO, PLEASE!"

"SILENCE!" He hissed as he pressed his fingers against her pubic region making her scream out in terror and painful pleasure, "I'll show you how we dealt with sluts on Planet Vegeta!" He found a desolate rocky desert and threw her down on her back on top of a rock pillar.

"Vegeta! We never did anything!" Nanake backed away from him a bit before he started ripping her robe off.

"YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT?! I CAN'T BELIEVE YUO LEFT ME FOR SOME WEAKLING HUMAN!!! HOW COULD YOU LOWER YOURSELF TO SUCH A LEVEL?! YOU TELL ME WHAT HE'S GOT THAT I DON'T GIRL! TELL ME ONE THING THAT HE HAS THAT SURPASSES MINE AND I WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE!" He furiously ripped at her robes, tearing the top half completely off. He stopped and shuddered a bit, almost starting to cry. He looked into her eyes, looking completely insane.

"Vegeta... I-"

"YOU WHAT?!" He snapped and smacked her hard across the face, almost making her lose consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw he pendant right in front of them as Vegeta started ripping off the lower part of her robes. She managed to close a shaky hand around it just as Vegeta has ridded her of all clothing except for her bra and underwear. When she looked at him he raised his hand to strike her yet again. He saw a flash in her eye as she whipped the pendant up so he could see it and she touched it with her finger as she quickly screamed inside her head,

("LET THE MEMORY FADE AWAY SO YOU WON'T FEEL THIS PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!")



A blinding white light was emitted and he was distracted, rubbing his eyes furiously. She quickly hit him hard in the back of the head, and luckily for her, it knocked him out cold.



She sat there with his head in the little lap that she had left, stroking his hair and cheek, wearing nothing but her undergarments. She slid a hand across his face, making a memory of every mark and muscle with a small smile and then quickly flew off, leaving Vegeta unconscious and all alone except for what was left of her ceremonial robes... which she'd soon find to be yet another mistake.





To Be Continued...
