PART 17 Royal Blood (Aeka and Vegeta's Point of View)
My blood. His blood. Our blood. A combination that is so hard
to admit to. Our. Only a word. Just a word? No. It's everything
to me. This three letter word makes my life worth living. I
would kill myself if that word did not exist. But it does and
I stay living and breathing.
Why is this so hard? Can't we just admit that we like each
other and have a happy ending already? No. This universe is just
so cruel and complex. Anything that simple could only be in a
fairy tale. A princess and a prince fall in love and have a
happy ending. The end. My life isn't that way. Of course, a
princess and prince fall in love but then, the prince is the
most stubborn prince in the universe and a few years later, he
forgets about the princess he promised to marry and gets some
other girl. No 'the end'. A beautiful story, if I do say so
myself.
I'm so confused. My mind aches with pain of such riddles. So
much decisions. And I don't end up with what I want. I don't
even know my choices.
Ever since my planet was destroyed, I had to live in hardship.
It was painful and long. I had to train and train. And fight and
fight. Ever since Freeza died, my hardship became weaker. No more
pain. Then Cell came and made my hardship strong. He died and
weakened it once again. My hardship came back stronger and left
weaker than it was before. My pain was disappearing. But then,
it came so powerful that I could have died. The pain was so
large that my body would have burst, trying to contain it. All
that pain came from...one word. One word, from the lips of one
that I...cared about. The word: never. Never. Such a small word,
just with five letters in it. And yet such power. All from one
woman: Aeka. Such pain it caused me when she said that we would
never see each other again. Never.
Never. I'll never see him again. But I couldn't do anything. He
chose not to see me. I gave him so many chances and he didn't
use any of them. He doesn't care about me. He probably never did.
And he probably never will. Why did I have to fall in love with
him? He's too stubborn. I was wrong. He didn't care for me at all.
Not one bit. I was a fool to think he ever loved me. If he did,
he wouldn't let me go. And Asahi...so happy to see him. He didn't
want to talk to him. Not one word. I might as well go back to
Jurai. I'll tell my father that Asahi has no father. My father
will choose a fiance' for me and I'll be happy. At least my dear
son will have someone to look up to. Why would he want to look
up to Vegeta? All he wants to do is fight and nothing more.
Whatever happened that night and the night years ago are just
illusions; dreams. Not real, just illusions. Nothing more.
How can I tell her? That I want just one moment to see her.
Talk to her. Talk to him. I don't want to just dream about her
anymore. It's too painful. I know it's a dream. I've had it
every single night. A beautiful face blowing away with the wind
and I, not being able to touch it. I need to see her. I feel as
if something worse than death will get me if I don't see her,
hear her, touch her, be with her. I am nothing without my Aeka.
I can't stand it anymore. I have to go to Jurai today. In only
a few hours. I have to see Vegeta. But how? I know I can get
there easily but how would I tell him? How can I tell him how
I feel? I did so in the past but now...it's just so hard. I can't
even think about it. And what if I tell him about his...his
blood? What would he do with his new found ability? Would he
use it for the good of us or for his own desires? But I have
to tell him. He has a right to know. No matter what he does. It's
his life and sooner or later, he will find out. He will find
out about his blood. Our blood. Our royal blood.
My blood. His blood. Our blood. A combination that is so hard
to admit to. Our. Only a word. Just a word? No. It's everything
