Chapter 3 Part B
It shall glow



The warmth radiated off of the blanket and into her soul, warming her to the core. She looked at him, her eyes shining in the dim lights of the room. "Why have you been so kind to me? I am supposed to be a servant here, and yet you treat me with such respect. You act as if I am more than just..."

"Just what?" His eyes were filled with concern, concern for her. He worried about her when he was awake and dreamed of her in his sleep. He no longer knew what to do. All he knew was that he had to keep her safe.

"Like I am more than what I am. I am a slave. But you treat me as your guest."

He chuckled. "You are my guest. Silly girl, and all that you desire may be yours with just a word..." He turned and walked into the kitchen, knowing of the eyes staring at his retreating form. 'I love her'

He entered the kitchen through swinging doors, his shoes clicking on the marbleized floor until he stopped in front of the steel cabinet. He bent down, searching for a saucepan and a wok. Finding the items that he had been searching for, he stood. 'What type of food does a frail creature like her enjoy?' Goku turned hearing a voice outside the room. A humming coming from her. She was singing to herself, calming her nerves.

He peered out the door, watching her elegant form...'she is so much more then she thinks...I can show her...' She looked at the door, noticing the slight movement. He ducked, the door swinging, and he walked back to the stove where he had previously been. He gathered herbs, using his keen senses, choosing the ones that were best. He placed them on the countertop. He turned heading to the ice storage, and finding meats and vegetables.

Adding oil to the pan, waiting for it to warm, he gathered the last few things...a jar of rose water, said to cure the soul of all pain, and strengthen the heart, along with two other jars of limited knowledge.

"What are you doing?" a hard voice broke the silence.

"What do you want Vegeta? You are not needed here."

"Oh, but I am. It is time that the girls services should be needed, for I am tired and...."

"Shut up and GET OUT! I swear, if you touch her..." Goku growled low in his throat, unaware of the disturbance in the other room.



"Let me go! Help! Please! Help me!" Chi Chi's screams reached Goku's ears. He started shaking in anger, tapping into the recesses of power in his core he powered up. The golden light blinding. Vegeta never expected this, for he hadn't known that Goku could ascend. Taking the opportunity to rid himself of a potential threat, he makes a quick, but strong punch to Goku's ribs then to the neck. The blow, taking a large toll of his charged body, then knocking him unconscious.

Vegeta left the slumped over Saiyan on the floor and exited to the dining hall. "Bring her to the chambers. I have big plans for this one."

Chi-Chi whimpered in fear and in protest as she was dragged through the rooms and halls, then down a brick staircase to what appeared to be a dungeon. "Where are you taking me?"

"Shut up! And do not talk unless you were talked to!" The man jabbed her in the ribs with her elbow. She coughed and stumbled to the ground. 'I devote my life to your deaths.'

When they reached the bottom step, she was thrown into a small room. "This is where you will be staying here for a while. Hope you like it." The man smirked to himself, proud of his accomplishments...'Vegeta should be proud'

Upstairs Vegeta paced the room waiting for Goku to awaken. He has no knowledge of the hidden rooms beneath the castle.

Goku stirred, his head throbbing, hoping to escape its bone prison. He opened his eyes. "What the hell is this?!?" He grabbed the broken necklace that had moments ago encircled Chi-Chi's neck. "Where is she?" he started to power up.

"Calm yourself...she is somewhere safe...for now, and she will remain safe as long as you follow my simple orders. For you now serve in her place." Vegeta's eyes glimmered wickedly and he smirked at Goku's predicament.

"How could you be so cruel? We were once partners, friends, and allies. And now we are enemies, all because of your greed. Why had I not seen it before?"

"You are too trusting, and you are a fool."

Goku sighed. "Fine, I will do as you wish. But you must promise me her safety. And you may not touch her...if I find that out, you may kill me, but I shall not die alone." He growled low in his throat, warning Vegeta that he had meant every word. A promise to another of his kind.

"You have my word, as a prince." He smirked. "Now, all that she was responsible for doing, you now do, all the pain that she would have gone through, you now experience. Any questions?"

"No, Vegeta."

"And call me highness."

Goku growled. "Yes...-highness-." malice dripped off his tongue in the words he spoke, and it did not go unnoticed.

"Go prepare me a bath, then leave out towels and my robe."

"Go F-"

"Uh uh uh.... I'll kill her."

"Yes -highness-"

Goku walked down the long hall and started a hot bath for the prince. Then heading to the closet in the corner to lay out a robe and towels. Vegeta entered the room moments later; he waved a hand a Goku giving permission for him to leave.

He opened the heavy door, exiting the way he had come.

Down stairs in the very pits of the castle a woman lay in fetal position, her clothes torn and shredded from the whip marks left there. Tears cascaded down her face. Her hair, once raven black, now tinged red with her own crimson blood. Red like the eyes of hell that she knew were always watching her. For why must this happen?


Goku walked to his own bed and laid down for rest. The moment that his eyes closed he saw her on lava stones with red eyes peering at her. Threatening to steal her away from him. He shuttered in his sleep, and cried out in pain as he saw her whipped, he could feel the burn from the metal tassels on his own back. She screamed out to him...'please, help me, my love. A tear fell to the ground and shattered with contact to the ground. The shattered pieces freezing the world into ice. For all that moved was them. He walked nearer to her, all else frozen, and nothing to hold them back. He went to grasp her bloodied hand, with his own, now the same as hers, for all her pain, he suffered. A flame leaped up and stopped them.

"She is mine now Goku!" Fiery hands grasped her and pulled her into the flames.

"NO....." Goku awoke in a damp sweat. His whole world crashed before him. He looked at his hands, still bloody, his back burned, and his muscles were soar. 'What's going on?'
