Last time on 'Taken':
The Prince Vegeta looked her up and down smirking. She was an exotic little thing for him. "My, my, what a beautiful little creature," he spoke with a hoarse voice. He placed a hand against her hot cheek and she quickly turned away. Glaring daggers at her she stood straight up, fire burned in her eyes. She brought her hand up as the silent tears ran down her face and slapped him straight across his face. She grabbed hold on her hand for it hurt but didn't let out a cry. There was a sound of silence then a few gasps from the crowd. The prince frowned and the king made a sudden outburst of laughter.

Chapter 4:
The King roared with laughter with his hands on his forehead and his stomach until the point where he had a fit of coughing. Kakarott stared with absolute shock at the blue hair woman as she stood her ground before the prince. Vegeta glared daggers right through Bulma then gave a slight smirk. The smirk grew wider until he finally started to roar with laughter as well. Shock spread across Bulma's face. "Nice to meet you too," he spoke in a low voice. He then grabbed hold of her hand, Bulma tried to take her hand away from his hold but he only held on tighter practically squeezing the life out of her poor hand. He brought the hand up to his lips and gave a slight kiss. Bulma clenched her teeth together tight and grew flush with anger and finally managed to tear away her hand from his hold. She gave him a slight 'Hmph' and then turned back to her escort Kakarott and waited as the prince walked down the rest of the line of women.
Prince Vegeta stood in front of the women and the escorts crossing his arms with a bit of satisfaction to the look on his face. "Now, you will all be showed to your new rooms by your escorts. I will expect to see you all at dinnertime. See you all then." The prince and the king turned around and walked back towards the palace.
Kakarott turned and faced Bulma then took hold of Bulma's arm and held on tightly. "Bulma what the hell were you thinking?" A pure look of horror was shown across his face. "You could've have been punished severely, you could have been kill with just one raise of Prince Vegeta's finger." Kakarott looked down in regret for Bulma's actions. Luckily for her, the prince had just let her be, yet the next time if she was to do anything such as slap the prince again, Kakarott was sure that she would be punished.
"Hmph," Bulma frowned as she stuck her nose in the air. "The bastard deserved that slap. No actually, he deserves much worse than that little slap I gave him." ChiChi came from behind Bulma and put her hand on her shoulder. Bulma turned to look at her friend. Shaking her head, ChiChi took off with Bardock to see her new room. "Might as well as go see that new room now. Come on Kakarott let's go."
Kakarott and Bulma walked up a long path until they reached the entrance of the castle. Bulma looked up in awe at the large castle. "Wow…" she silently spoke. "It's so beautiful." The castle was stone built, vines ran up and down the sides with a few red flowers blooming from the vines.
Kakarott smirked at her, and led her the rest of the way in the castle. They walked down many halls that were decorated with similar paintings that were on the ship, statues of previous kings and princes lined the halls. Bulma gave a funny look at the statues, each one had seemed to look exactly like the other. They finally reached a door. "Okay, well this is your room. Here is your card so you may enter and lock up your room and such." Kakarott handed a card to Bulma. "I'm pretty sure you can look around the room yourself. I will be back in time to escort you to dinner the one last time." Kakarott bowed his head in leave and headed off towards the Prince's chambers.
Bulma looked down at the card, then turned towards the door. The number 8 was placed neatly on the door. Bulma found the card slot. 'Okay let's see how this thing works exactly,' Bulma thought to herself. She ran the card through the detector. At first there seemed to be nothing happening to the door. 'Stupid piece of crap.' A loud beeping noise made Bulma jump then the door instantly slid open. Bulma cautiously walked in her new room. The door suddenly shut behind her causing her to make a sudden gasp. The room was totally pitch black that she wasn't even able to see her own hand in front of her face. Bulma stumbled over the room look for the light switch, finally being able to find it she turned on the lights. "Oh wow." Bulma's eyes turned wide. The room was like a complete apartment. There was a front room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom. The place had been laid out with furniture. Curious as Bulma was she walked to her bedroom closet, beautiful dresses and many other clothes filled up the entire closet. Bulma dropped on her new bed, it was soft and she practically sunk into it. Bulma closed her eyes and gave a deep sigh. Suddenly opening her eyes, she remembered the bathroom. It was time for her to take a long bath. She opened the door to her bathroom and was surprised. The tub was huge and beautiful. Large windows with silk curtains were set next to the sink. Bulma opened the closed curtains to see a balcony, she opened the large windows and stepped out. She looked out to the land, she gasped, and it was beautiful. Bulma gave a slight smile, it was much like where she was from. She turned her back from the view and walked back into the bathroom closing the window and it's curtains.
Bulma drew her bath and found many scents that could be put into the water. She chose the scent of melon and poured the contents into the water. Bulma placed her foot in the water to test it and then stepped all the way in and slid the rest of the way. Bulma had relaxed for about an hour in her bath when a knock came to her door. Disappointed from being disrupted from her relaxation time, she threw on a towel with a frown and walked to the door.
Bulma opened the door to her living quarters to see a blushing and a staring Kakarott standing before her. His eyes followed towards her practical naked body. "Oh cut it out Kakarott, what do you want?" Bulma's face grew red.
Kakarott stuttered as he tried to speak, "Um, um, um, you were, um suppose to be ready, for the uh, dinner. Remember?" Finally managing to get out his words he closed his eyes so he would stop staring at her.
Bulma's eyes grew wide, "Shit, I forgot all about that! All right, I'll just be a minute! Just um, take a seat and I'll be right out."
"Um, sure!" Kakarott's voice became a high squeak.
In just a few minutes Bulma was already. She picked out a red gown and placed her hair up in a quick bun. "Well! How do I look," Bulma chirped.
"Um, better," Kakarott blurted out.
Bulma just rolled her eyes towards him. "All right, well let's get going. I mean wouldn't want to upset princey now would I?" Bulma sarcastically spat.
As Bulma and Kakarott walked out the door they were met by Bardock and ChiChi. "Bulma! It's so great, you're my neighbor!" ChiChi giggled, and then blushed as she gave a quick look at Kakarott who was smiling down at her. "Anyway, aren't the rooms great! They are so beautiful, and the view! Oh my gosh!"
"Yup, they are ChiChi," Bulma gave ChiChi a quick smile.
"Well, we really must hurry ladies," Bardock spoke suddenly. "You may talk on the way there and during your dinnertime." With a quick nod from everybody they headed towards the dining chambers.
They reached a pair of tall doors and opened them quickly. Everyone had already been seated at the large table for quite a while. Vegeta looked up from his conversation with his advisor, and gave a smirk at Bulma. "Ladies, how nice of you to finally join us," the prince sarcastically said.
There were four open seats placed next to the prince and king specifically placed for the four of them. The king stood up as Bulma and ChiChi sat down. He looked over towards his son. "Vegeta, mind your manners when a lady sits."
Vegeta gave a 'Hmph' then quickly stood and sat down again. "Now as we were talking to Nept," Prince Vegeta spoke with a crude tone, "we have a rather lovely bunch of women with us now." Some of the women seated at the table giggled. Bulma frowned at him and held her nose high.
"Hmph, too bad were not in the presence of a handsome prince, instead just an ugly beast," Bulma lied. She had actually thought that Vegeta was rather handsome but she would never say so.
The king laughed towards Bulma's remark. "We've got a real comical one here. She's a real keeper," he roared. The prince instead frowned. Bulma smirked at him as he frowned at her.
"Sure thing father," the prince spoke between his teeth. After cooling down a bit, the prince stood. "Ladies, I would like to talk to you about this whole deal." Vegeta took a few moments until everyone was silent. "I will choose one of you women to rule beside me as future queen of Vegeta- sei." He paused for a moment and looked directly at Bulma. "The rest of you who are not chosen will live their life on Vegeta-sei and will be provided with their own housing. What you do with the rest of your life on Vegeta-sei will be entirely up to you. Until the time of the choosing, you all have the freedom to roam around the Palace grounds. This dinner is now over you all may do whatever you choose now. Yet, you must be here in the morning for the breakfast meeting. Servants will come to wake you and ready you for it. Goodnight." Prince Vegeta then turned to Kakarott. "Kakarott, it's time to train."
Kakarott bowed his head to Vegeta, "Yes sire." He bowed his head to Bulma and followed Vegeta to the training rooms.
"Come on ChiChi, let's go to our rooms now. I'm rather exhausted." ChiChi nodded her head in agreement. Bulma turned to Bardock and the king. "Goodnight Bardock, King Vegeta. We shall see you in the morning." The two men stood up as they removed themselves from the table and the room.
The King turned to his personal guard as the rest of the women had left the room. "Bardock, that woman has a lot of spunk. I rather like her, and if I'm not wrong, and I'm not, I'm pretty sure my son has rather taken a liking towards the female. What was her name again?"
"Miss Bulma Briefs sire."
"Ah yes, Bulma. Now there's a future queen for you." The King smiled then left the room to his quarters to sleep due to he was feeling quite ill from the evening events.
Bulma and ChiChi walked slowly down the halls towards their rooms. Bulma suddenly turned to ChiChi and smiled. "You know Chi, I've noticed that you seem to be taking a liking to Kakarott."
ChiChi blushed at the comment. "Well, I've noticed that the prince seems to be taking a liking to you more than the other girls."
Bulma frowned at her friend. "Hmph, not if I can help it."
"Okay, whatever Bulma. But you can't disagree with the fact that he is rather handsome."
"Handsome, okay, but princely, no. He seems to me that he is an arrogant bastard." ChiChi rolled her eyes at Bulma. They reached their rooms. "Well, goodnight ChiChi. I'll see you in the morning for breakfast, than we can go exploring."
"All right, see you tomorrow. Goodnight."
Bulma got herself ready for bed. While she brushed her hair out she started to think about her life back on her own planet. She would have happily been married now, and to the man that she loved dearly. Bulma gave a sad sigh, she was too exhausted to think or do anything anymore. She laid herself in bed and quickly fell asleep.
Well that's the end of Chapter 4. I hope you all enjoyed! Please review. And if you have any suggestions please fell free to e-mail me! WildLiLDrummerGurl@hotmail.com
