Chapter 3
I awoke with the sun filtering in through the window and pouring down around me. I snort slightly and turn over just praying for a few more minutes of rest but the sun shines brightly and will not let me sleep. I think the sun has something against me. Frustrated I get up and brush a hand through my hair and stretch slightly. I am slightly stiff and I stand up and scratch my lower back while I look around sleepily. Strange surroundings. Wait. Where am I? Then I remember last night's events and I shake my head slowly. I was being a baka onna last night. I blew off my friends and my boyfriend and ran away with a man that I believed I loved. What if I was making a mistake but then as I was about to have second thoughts Vegeta walked into the room without knocking. He is staring at me with those intense eyes and I go weak in the knees. How can one man have such an affect on someone? Walking towards him I lifted a hand and brushed his jaw line and leaned in for a kiss but he pulls away with a strange look in his eyes. I wonder why he is rejecting me? I back away from him letting him see the hurt in my eyes but he chooses to ignore it and look away from me. I ask him for clean clothes and where the bathrooms were located. He walks to a closet and pulls out a blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans that were in my size. From what I could see most of the clothes in there belonged to a woman. And I can feel my heart breaking. No wonder why he rejected me today. He was married. How can someone like him not be? He points to the bathroom and tells me I can use that there. I nod my head slowly and walk towards the bathroom carrying the clothes that he had quickly shoved into my arms. I hear him leave as I turn on the shower and shut the door. Stripping off my clothes I stand naked before the full length mirror. I study my every feature, every curve, and every scar. My blond hair is too long. I get frustrated with trying to straighten it and grab a pair of scissors that I saw from the mirror cabinet. With the water still running I begin to cut my hair shorter and shorter. Steam filled the bathroom and I had to keep wiping the mirror clean just to be able to see what I was doing. My hair is somewhat decent looking and is now to my shoulders. Brushing a hand through my hair I stare at my fogged reflection and smile slightly. Finally I step into the shower and clean myself thoroughly. Getting out I shut off the water and quickly dry myself off and get dressed and brush my hair. I feel refreshed. Like a new person. A new beginning. But to where? Frowning slightly I leave the bathroom and shudder in the cold air.
Leaving the room I head down the stairs listening to two people talking. I stopped before them and Vegeta looks up from talking with a young boy with lavender hair. He says something about how long I was in the bathroom but I make no comment back to him. The little boy is staring at me and I stare back. Vegeta introduces me to his son Trunks. He doesn't look anything like Vegeta. Did he get his looks from his mother's side? I smile at Trunks and sit next to him and tell him that my name is Usagi. He seems to be enthralled with just looking at me. I look at Vegeta with a raised eyebrow and he shrugs. Turning from me I look back at Trunks and he asks me if I am a tenshi. I laugh slightly and tell him no. He seems slightly disappointed with that bit of news. I asked Trunks where his mother was and the little boy's face falls. I can see tears brimming in his eyes as he informs that his mother died while giving birth to his little sister two years ago. I feel tears form in my eyes as I too know what it is like to lose a mother at a young age. I hug him close to me and I can feel him tense up but he soon relaxes into my warm embrace and I can feel the wet tears falling from his eyes as he weeps for the loss of his mother. I can feel Vegeta looking at me with indifference but somewhere in my heart I can feel that he misses his wife just as badly as Trunks did. But I wondered where the sister was. Did she die too? I didn't question aloud because I did not want anymore bad feelings to come up. I looked around the room looking at the family pictures and I see one of a blue haired lady holding Trunks as a small child and Vegeta with his arms folded in front of his chest looking at the two with fondness. I figured the woman in the picture was Trunks' mother. Vegeta's wife. She looked so happy. I can feel myself weeping for both their pain they must have suffered all these years without her. Trunks is holding onto me and I can feel Vegeta mumbling about going off to train. Train for what? I quickly dry my eyes and apologize for the scene I had made. But the two didn't seem to mind. And Trunks look tired but satisfied that he was for once able to cry in front of his father without getting yelled at for being weak. I finally found the courage to ask him where his sister was and he told me that she too died while she was in his mother. They both didn't make it. I feel saddened by this knowledge. How bad it must have been for Vegeta to lose both his wife and child. I excuse myself from Trunks and follow to where Vegeta last left and found him in a gravity room and let myself in. Sure the gravity is probably three times that of Earth's but I am not affected. After all I was originally born on the Moon. Vegeta looks surprised to see me withstand that much force as I walk to him and he is again surprised as I take him by the hand and brush it against my face and I move in closer to him and hold him. He doesn't respond and some how I knew that he wasn't going to.
Stepping away from him I get into a fighting stance and smile with a feral grin. He looks confused until I tell him that I want to fight him. If he isn't going to respond to me through simple acts of kindness then I was going to do it the hard way. He nods his head and goes into a fighting stance as well. I rush towards him. Kicking, punching, flipping, and I hit him only a few lucky times. He is better than I thought he would be. He is landing blows to where I should have been guarding. I yell at myself internally. I wasn't going to give up that easily. I have been fighting for four years. Against all odds and I have come back victorious. But it looked like I wasn't going to have any victories here as he lands another blow to my back. I wish I could catch up to him but he is too fast. So I stop and stand and he goes to hit me and I move quickly out of the way. Again I stand in the same spot and again Vegeta goes in to hit me but this time I grab him quickly and throw him to the ground and I quickly straddle him while he is on the ground. He doesn't move but he stares at me with curiosity in his eyes. I don't think he was expecting this move and I want to laugh outwardly but I only chuckle in my mind. Leaning down to him I kiss him softly on his lips and tell him that I care about him. I don't know why I care but I do. I tell him that I am sorry to hear about his wife and his daughter's death. He looks pained at the mention of them but he remains where he is. This makes it a lot easier on me to speak to him and I tell him that I want to stay with him. I want to be there for him. Hell I didn't know what I was doing or thinking but I felt that he needed me at this moment. He went to protest that he didn't need anyone until I leaned over him again my blond hair gently brushing his bare chest and he stares into my blue eyes before grabbing onto my hair and pushing me towards his hungry mouth. Our kiss is passionate and not like anything that I have done before. My world is spinning when he releases me and tells me I can stay but he didn't like how I cut my hair. I only smile slightly and shrug my shoulders before getting off of him to go call a taxi. I asked for money for the fare and he gave it to me with a curious look. And I explained to him that I was going to end my old life and begin my new life with a clean slate. He nodded in understandment as I ran to the awaiting taxi that would bring me back to my old home and to my old life. I sigh deeply as I brace myself for when I had to meet the girls and Darien and tell them that I was no longer going to be one of them and that I was going to start a new life without them. I just hoped that they would understand and not give me too much for leaving. But I knew better. This was going to be hell and for a moment I wished Vegeta was with me for the confrontation that was going to be coming up.
