Thoughts

Thoughts

Ok folks! Here's the long awaited Chapter 3 of my story titled "Thoughts"! (The characters seem to be doing a lot of thinking in this chapter, hence the name.)

I thank all of you who reviewed!! *hugs them all scaring them out of their wits*

The disclaimer's at the end. Don't ask why.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Master Roshi was laying in a lawn chair outside his house when suddenly seven different shrieks and screams woke him out of his doze. When he opened his eyes he thought he had when to heaven because before him seven very beautiful girls in very short skirts were all tangled together. "Oh my, what do we have here?" He asked softly as the girls groaned and began to try to untangle themselves and get up.

"When I find Setsuna, oh am I going to make her pay." The dark haired one in the red said. "Now Rei you know that she had said that it wasn't going to be easy." The blue haired one responded. Chatter from all of them started at once, none of them appearing to have noticed the old man standing there.

"Ahem," Master Roshi cleared his throat and all the girls stopped immediately and stared at him, then sweat dropped. "Oh we're so sorry. Um…could you maybe help us?" Rei asked him, his eyes nearly popping out, as he looked them all up and down.

All the Senshi shifted nervously as he did this. Then Master Roshi grinned, "Sure ladies, what can I do for you?" Haruka stepped up, "We're looking for the Dragon Balls have you heard of them?"

Master Roshi face faulted, "The Dragon Balls?! What in the world would you want those for?" Ami then came forward, "Well sir, a friend of ours died recently and we were told that we could use the Dragon Balls to bring her back."

"Hmmmmm," Master Roshi pondered, "Well I guess the best place to go would be Kami's look-out. My friends there would be able to help you."

"Thank you, sir," Hotaru said. "How do we get there?" Minako asked.

"That's the problem. To get there you would have to be able to fly." Master Roshi told them sadly. Then Senshi's faces all fell and they were silent. Then Minako perked up, "I know! Why don't we just teleport there?"

Everyone looked at her a little bit stunned that she had come up with the idea. She glared at them in return, "What? I'm not a complete airhead you know!"

Master Roshi looked confused as they made a circle.

(Do I really need to go through this? Well I guess I will for all you non-SM fans.)

All the girls called out the power of their respective planets.

Ami, "Mercury Power!"

Minako, "Venus Power!"

Rei, "Mars Power!"

Makoto, "Jupiter Power!"

Hotaru, "Saturn Power!

Michiru, "Neptune Power!"

Haruka, "Uranus Power!"

Together, "Sailor teleport!"

(I think I did that wrong…. it's been a REALLY long time since I've seen them do that.)

Master Roshi looked on in surprise as the seven beautiful ladies disappeared in a flash of multi-colored lights. He sighed, "Maybe I should have made them stay. Oh well."

"I have to what?!" Usagi cried in despair.

"You have to catch Bubbles," King Kai told her matter-of-factly. Great, Usagi thought, I just get used to the gravity and now I have to chase around a monkey whose been here for who knows how long so is probably a hundred times faster than I am. Then she lifted her chin. No, I won't give up. My Senshi depend on me.

"All right," She said resignedly, "Let's get started." Bubbles and her looked at each other for about five seconds before Bubbles took off with Usa in fast pursuit.

Wow! I was right! She is fast! Usagi thought panting after 5 minutes of chasing Bubbles around in circles, There's got to be an easier way. What would Ami do? …I know! Usagi grinned and suddenly stopped. Just as she thought Bubbles was going to fast to notice. In a few moments Bubbles had made it to where Usagi was and when she saw Usa there she tried to turn around. Before she could even slow down Usagi tackled her to the ground. "Yes!" She shouted happily. I did it. I can't believe I actually did it!

King Kai looked on her impressed, "I believe that's the fastest anyone has ever caught her before. Congratulations."

"What's next?" Usagi asked him eagerly, still panting.

"Well-" King Kai began then a huge grumbling came for Usagi's direction and she turned at bright shade of red.

"How about some lunch?" He asked her amused as he face turned yet five more shades.

"Sounds great."

***

Over soup King Kai told her something important. "Earth is about to be invaded by some very powerful enemies called Saiyans." He paused. Something was nagging at Usagi's memory but for some reason she could not just but her finger on it.

Taking her silence as a que, he continued, "One of Earth's Special Forces, Goku, is going to be training here to perpare for it." Usagi was stunned, One of Earth's Special Forces? A threat coming to Earth? Were two of the only audible thing in the jumble of her mind.

"He should be arriving…about now." King Kai said, and at that moment they heard a voice outside. "King Kai?" A male voice kept calling. The person in question stepped outside followed by Usagi. "Are you King Kai?" The young man asked.

Usa stared at him, her heart race for a moment thinking that he was the man from her dreams.

"Yes I am King Kai, and this is Usagi." King Kai told the young man who must be Goku.
"Um, Sir, I was wondering is you could train me."

"Why don't we go inside?"

King Kai turned and headed to his door with both Usagi and Goku following him.

"Who can see? Who can hear? Who can feel?

Who can gaze beyond this empty shell

That some would refer to as a man,

And see the life within it?"

"Vegeta," called the voice of his love and tormentor. "When are you?" He whispered, but his voice echoed as if he had shouted it.

"Right here."

And suddenly his tenshi had appeared in front of him. He took her into his embrace and held her close, inhaling her sweet scent. "My love," Vegeta whispered into her ear caressing her long golden tresses.

"Who can listen as my soul lays bare

my innermost secrets?

My innermost desires?"

"I'm so sorry," He kept repeating into her ear, hoping that it would have a difference. Vegeta bend towards her a kissed her gently cradling her chin. Then he crushed her against him once again. "Can you ever forgive me?" Vegeta asked her, gazing into her eyes leaving his soul bare to her.

She smiled at him tenderly.

"Who can feel my heart as every precious once

of lifes blood passes through it,

feeding not only my body,

but my soul?"

He heard her sigh.

"You let me die Vegeta," the tenshi stepped away taking the warmth of the universe with her. "You let me slip away. I can never forgive you for that." Her tone was gentle and un-accusing, but every word was like a knife into his heart.

"How can I love a man who stood by and did nothing while I was killed?" She asked him in that same tone with a sad smile on her face. "I tried-" Vegeta began but she placed two fingers on his lips silencing him. "Good-bye Vegeta. Forever."

Then she began to drift away from him

"No! Don't leave me again!"

"Who? Can any one hear me?

Can any one see me for what I truly am?

Who?"

Vegeta woke up with a start, panting. Weak, was the first think that came to mind in reverence to his dream. "We are approaching a planet." He heard the computer tell him.

He donned his trade mark evil smirk, "Let's stop here," he told the computer, "I need to have some fun." Vegeta was feeling a lot of rage over that dream he had and this was the perfect way to make him feel better. He flipped open the transmitter to talk to Nappa. "Nappa," he snapped, "Wake up. We're making a little stop."

Oh my what is our little Vegeta up to now? Well obviously if you've seen this part of the series you know. I wanted to save the disclaimer for the end because of the little poem interlude in Vegeta's dream. That might not make any sense to you, but just think of it as another one of my weird little quirks.

Disclaimer: I own DBZ and SM!!! *gets charged by a bunch of lawyers waving papers around* I was kidding! I was kidding! I don't own ANYTHING! Also that poem was titled "Who?" Written by Donny Shumaker.

Oh yeah. I'm going to be on vacation for 4 weeks in a place with no internet!! (I'm sorry!) Now before you break out the pitchforks and light the torches I want you to know that the next chapter will be the concluding chapter and very VERY long! (In fact I may have to split it into two chapters.)

Three important things you must always remember

REVIEW!

REVIEW!

REVIEW!

Vegeta: That's one thing repeated three times baka.
