PART 18 Confessions
Aeka looked out the window at Sasami. Sasami sat on a rock,
looking at the lake for such a long time. She was probably
daydreaming about Gohan. She had seen Gohan and Sasami talking
outside. By the look on Sasami's face, Aeka figured out that
she was in love with Gohan all along and it made some of her own
pain leave her heart. Her sister was happy and that was good
enough for her. She just hoped that Sasami didn't suffer the
same pain that she had. Gohan was a nice boy and would never do
anything bad to hurt the ones he cared for. Unlike Vegeta.
All he cared about was himself. If he won this battle or not.
But it was hard to believe that such a cruel man would bear three
children to two women. He must have loved a little. But Aeka
could not feel it. She did once before but now, all she could feel
was pain. She stood up and made her way to Washu's lab. She stopped
when she got to the door. Her hand was right above the handle,
trembling. Aeka was too scared to even think about what would
happen.
[I have to talk to him.] she thought. Then she turned the handle
and peeked inside.
"Washu?" she called out.
"I'm over here!" Washu replied. Aeka followed the voice and
found Washu doing...something.
"Washu, I would like to ask if I may use your dimensional tunnel?
Just this once." Aeka said.
"The dimensional tunnel? What for?" Washu asked.
"I just need to get...in contact with...someone." Aeka replied.
"Well, alright." Washu said. Washu took out her laptop and sat
down. She did some things on her computer and out popped the
star entrance. Washu set it down on the floor.
"Well, where do you wanna go?"
"Um...Capsule...Corp..."
"Sure." Washu said, typing more things on her computer.
"All set! Just go in there and you'll end up in Capsule Corporation
...I hope."
"What was that?"
"Nothing! Nothing! Just go on!"
"Well, thank you very much, Washu." Aeka said, going through the
star. Then Aeka found herself in the living room of the shed house.
She stepped out of the shed. She bit her lower lip and inhaled
deeply.
[Well...here it goes.]
Aeka walked over to the front door. Slowly. Step by step. It
was as she were walking towards her death. Even worse. Then she
stopped. She could sense a presence. She lowered her head and
looked down at the ground. A strange feeling. A tingling feeling.
Someone was watching her. She felt scared but also excited, in a
way. She felt eyes looking down on her. Her breathing grew faster
and she clasped her hands in an attempt to stop the shaking. She
bit her lip to prevent the trembling. But her tries were in vain
because the feeling was too intense. Chills went up her spine. She
lifted her head and turned around. Nothing. She looked up and down
and she found nothing. She couldn't see anything but she knew
whatever was there was not yet gone. She could still feel the
strange feeling. She just couldn't see. Just as Aeka was about to
give up searching, she saw something. She saw dark, angry eyes
staring at her from behind a tree.
"Who...are you?" Aeka asked. There was no reply. The eyes just
disappeared into the shadows.
"Wait! Don't go!" Aeka pleaded. The was a long silence. Aeka could
almost hear her heart, beating rapidly in her chest. Aeka put her
hand to her chest and felt the thumping. It was quiet now but she
could hear someone else's heart, beating as loudly as hers. It
was that...person in the shadows.
"Please, show yourself." Aeka said. Then a foot stuck out from
the tree. Then a leg and soon, a body. Vegeta's body. He had on a
mean glare but he also was blushing.
"Uh...Lord...Vegeta..." Aeka said. Vegeta grunted and started
to go away.
"W-w-wait!" Aeka said, turning to Vegeta. Vegeta stopped and
looked at her.
"I...wanted to tell you something. Before I go." Aeka said.
"All right, woman. Get on with it." Vegeta said. Aeka glared at
him when as he said that. Then she softened and looked down on the
ground.
"Well...I...think you...should...know the truth..." Aeka said softly.
"What are you talking about?" Vegeta asked.
"Well...Asahi is...Asahi is your son..." Aeka started.
"I know that!" Vegeta said. Aeka quickly looked up at him. He was
saying that he was aware that Asahi, her son was his son.
"Y-you do?" Aeka asked.
"I'm not stupid!" Vegeta retorted.
"Well...he...you then have mixed...blood...with me..." Aeka said.
"What?!" Vegeta said.
"My Jurain blood has mixed with yours!" Aeka said quickly, eyes
closed. "Which means...you have the ability to live an everlasting
life and cannot age."
"I..."
"It's true. And...I just wanted to inform you of that."
Aeka bowed and went towards the shed. She stopped and looked
back at Vegeta. Vegeta was looking down at his hands, still
shocked. Shocked that he finally had immortality, like he dreamed
of having. Not with the use of the Dragonballs but with use of a
girl. Aeka clutched her chest. Tears were flowing down her cheeks
as she saw her beloved in awe at his new found ability. He used
her. He didn't plan on doing it but she felt like a used item.
Once a very good thing to have and now a useless piece of junk.
As Aeka was about to turn away, Vegeta looked up at her. Dark
eyes looking at her own tear-filled ones. She turned around and
ran into Vegeta's arms, whether he liked it or not. Instead of
the push she expected, she felt strong arms wrap around her,
protecting her. She buried her face in his embrace and cried.
"I don't want to go..." Aeka whispered.
"Then don't..." Vegeta's voice whispered into her ear.
Aeka then didn't want to. She wanted to stay so badly. She
wanted to stay in Vegeta's embrace for the rest of her life.
But she couldn't. Aeka pulled away and wiped away her tears.
"I have no reason to stay." Aeka said.
"You do! You do!" Vegeta said.
"No, I only have a reason to go." Aeka whispered. Vegeta lifted
Aeka's chin.
"Am I not reason enough?" he asked.
"You're a reason to leave...forever." Aeka replied. Aeka put
down Vegeta's arm and went into the shed.
"Goodbye, my prince..." Aeka whispered.
"I will search for you again, my princess..." Vegeta whispered
back. Vegeta looked down at his hands. [My blood. Her blood. Our
blood.]
Tears rolled down the Star Goddess' cheek.
"Hoshiko, Toshinen..."
