Wow I can't believe this is the 4th Chappy in this series!!! Woohoo me so proud. As for my other stories I should have them finished soon, it's just that I haven't had any creativity around for them yet. And well my wife is around all the time to help me think creativitily (sp.?). But um anywho onwards with the story. Sorry if this chappy isn't long enough but I can't give away too much on each chappy and darnit I'm not very good with detailing too well! Drea does all the detail work I'm just the mission man. LOL. Um..yeah so anywho once again I don't own DBZ or SM. Any of the characters that are not DBZ or SM are originally my creation. For the flamers out there please remember that this is Fanfiction and not reality based on the cartoon show. This is about stories that we want to imagine them as. As for the positive reviewers my thanks goes out to you guys! Especially my thanks goes out to Drea who stuck with me throughout this whole crazy project!!!! Love ya hun!
~Enemies and Lovers~
Drea laid her head on Vegeta's stomach as he slept. She had fallen asleep earlier but her mind would not let her rest as she kept visualizing Keiko and the strong power that emanated from her. She wondered why her friend changed so much. Drea did her best to move from Vegeta to go to the bathroom but he held a strong grip around her waist. Giving a light sigh she moved his arm and got off of him. Walking to the bathroom quietly she turned on the light and looked at herself long and hard in the mirror. It had only been two maybe three days that she had been in this dimension and she couldn't decide if this felt like home or not. Sure the people here were nice but it changed Keiko. Her friend almost felt lost to her. Turning on the sink she cupped the water with her hands and drank some of the cool liquid to ease her dry throat. Turning it off she stared at the mirror before it registered to her that she wasn't looking at herself but Keiko. Well not exactly like Keiko but you could still see it was like her. Behind her lay on a man on his stomach sleeping. Keiko shook her head and made a small sign to her to keep quiet. Holding up a piece of paper she gave it to her through the mirror. With shaking fingers she took it and Keiko smiled before blowing a kiss and Drea's image showed in the mirror once again. Her hands shook as she held the letter that smelled of lilacs and lillies. The scent somewhat eased her nerves as she sat on the toilet to read what her friend had written.
*Drea, I know this is a shock to you and probably to some others as well but I have found my true purpose in this life. I wanted to let you know that if you see me or a man with short red hair to avoid him or I at all costs. My dear friend I love you so much and I don't want this to be our last time together. I'd miss you too much if we were away for long. My love Yukio doesn't know that I am writing to you and please don't ever mention this letter to anyone! It is very important that you stay away from the Saiyans (even though you are one) and the Sailor Senshi. Just remember to stay away from them at all costs. Why do I even bother Drea? I know you are a true fighter and will fight along their side. But remember if I lose this war and die remember that it was not all in vain. I tried my best to end this hurt and pain that the Senshi and Saiyans had caused me thousands of years ago. The Senshi should be able to explain what it is that happened to me. I love you Drea. I miss you so much. I guess you were right about the 'normal' thing we talked about earlier the other day. It is better to be normal sometimes. Please be careful my friend. Please be very careful. I love you dearly, Chiyo (Keiko).*
Drea's hands shook as her eyes began to fill with unshed tears making her vision blur. Carefully she stood up and flushed the letter down the toilet. Once she was sure it was gone she went into the bedroom and laid back into bed with Vegeta. Drying her eyes she closed them and soon fell into a fitful night's rest. In the morning the sun brightly lit the room and Drea woke up quickly. Vegeta was not at her side and he was not in the bathroom. Her heart began to pound as she stood up and tried to think rational thoughts. She decided he probably went out to train so she went into the bathroom and showered and quickly dressed in a pair of short biker shorts and a black sports bra. Today she was going to train as well. She wanted to learn her full potential. After tying her hair into a high ponytail she left the room and headed to the kitchen.
"Good morning ChiChi." Drea greeted her with a friendly smile as ChiChi placed a plate full of food before her.
"Your probably going to want to train before finding the Senshi today so I made sure Goku and Vegeta stayed close to the house." She informed her as she washed another dish. Drea looked at her and grinned before wolfing her food down. Thanking her for the breakfast she ran from the kitchen and outside where the two warriors were doing basic fighting.
"Okay guys. I want to know how to be like you!" Drea smiled as she skipped over to them. They both nodded to her.
"Okay let's get the training started for you then." They warmed up with simple exercises but then they were showing her how to read ki's and how to lower her ki as well. This went on for several hours and she was soon picking up on being a Saiyan rather quickly.
"Great Drea! Now all you have to do is become super saiyan like Vegeta or I." Goku smiled at her and she nodded.
"You will want to concentrate all your anger into a big ball of energy inside you. When you feel that energy building you can scream out because it a slightly painful process to change and get more powerful. So why don't you give it a try." Vegeta told her as he leaned against the house wall.
"Hai." Drea said as she then to think of things that bothered her and she thought about the man that had tooken her friend away from her. She could feel her power emanating around her and the crackle of the air as it began to shake with the power she held inside her. She had only changed like this before the other day when she was angry about what was happening to them. She didn't know what she was doing then and she sure didn't know what she was doing now. With a high pitched she screamed as she felt her hair and eye color change. Her muscles became more defined as the power surged throughout her. Drea looked at them with a smug grin and then proceeded to attack them with a new force. They changed to Super Saiyan as well and they soon were fighting faster and harder. Drea was panting by the time Vegeta came near her and hit her hard. She fell to the ground with a hard 'thump' and she tried to stand up to fight again but Vegeta shook his head.
"That's enough for the lesson today. We have to go find the Senshi's today." Goku told them as they all powered down and headed into the kitchen to get cleaned up. After eating quickly they flew towards Tokyo City to find the Senshi. Several hours later they had no luck at finding them. Drea was getting frustrated and decided to go into a nearby candy shop to get some chocolate. 'Nothing like chocolate to make the day better' Drea thought as she ate the chocolate bar that she just bought. Drea stopped eating it when she felt unfamiliar ki's near them. Turning around to look in the shop she could only spot a group of teenagers giggling and talking about the guy behind the counter who was slightly blushing. It was a cute scene and she smiled but then frowned slightly as she walked over to them. The blond one was emanating powerful energy around her and her tail twitched slightly as it laid across her stomach like a belt.
"Who are you?" Drea asked her without an emotion showing. The blond turned to her and smiled brightly.
"Serena Tsukino. Have we met before?" The small blond asked her. Her blue eyes shined brightly up at her and she for a moment got lost in them.
"Serena you wouldn't happen to be Sailor Moon would you?" Serena's eyes widened and she quickly grabbed Drea and dragged into a corner.
"How did you know?" Serena asked her with an authoritive tone.
"Because you threatened my friends and I the other day remember? I am Drea." Serena looked her up and down and nodded.
"Hai, I remember you. What is it that you need?" Drea could not see the young teenager anymore but a more adult authority took hold of Serena's body.
"We need the Sailor Senshi to help us. My friend has been taken by a man called Lord Yukio."
"Lord Yukio?"
"Hai." Serena frowned.
"Okay meet me in the park in fifteen minutes. The other Senshi will be with me. And today I thought I was going to have it off." Serena said quietly as she walked over to her friends. Drea watched her a moment before she left to find Goku and Vegeta. She stopped after two stores and frowned as she watched the men being flocked by women. Growling low in her throat she walked towards Vegeta and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionatly.
"Hi hunny. Did you miss me?" Vegeta's eyes widened and then he grinned as he realized she was there to save him. He leaned close to her and nuzzled her neck.
"I always miss you when you are away." Drea's heart fluttered in her chest like a bird trying to escape. The women around them frowned as they stalked off. Some still remained attached to Goku and he gave Drea a pleading look.
"Okay ladies break it off. The man's already married." They gave cries of protests as Drea plucked them off of Goku. The last one left with a slight pout and Goku sighed loudly.
"What would we do without you Drea?" Goku asked with a huge smile.
"I guess you could always find your own way out of these situations." She told them with a wink.
"But anywho. Other than that I have some good news for you guys." They both waited patiently for her to tell them the news.
"I've found the Senshis for you and we are to meet in the park in oh about now!" Drea's eyes widened as she looked at the clock and grabbed their hands before running like a mad woman to the park. Panting for breath she looked around with large eyes and she reached out with her senses to sense their ki. After a minute or two she felt them and ran to the other end of the park. By then they had all met up and exchanged greetings and introductions.
"So you told me that someone named Lord Yukio has taken your friend correct?" Serena asked her with a a small frown. The other girls watched their leader with morbid fascination, if they were right about this one, then it would explain why there had been an increase in youma attacks.
"Yes. He said that her name was Lady Chiyo and we wanted to know if you had any information that could help us." Drea asked as a small tear fell from the corner of her stormy blue eyes.
"I may have some idea as to what you are talking about. Girls gather around them. We are going to the Moon." Drea watched with wide eyed fascination as the girls surrounded them. Vegeta and Goku watched with some interest at this as the girls transformed. Drea wondered how they could do that without anyone noticing them, but people went on, as if nothing was taking place. Drea's jaw dropped as she saw that during the transformation they became nude and then wore the mini-skirt sailor outfit that Keiko had commented on before. Glaring at Vegeta quickly, she saw that his eyes were riveted to her only. Blushing slightly she caught Goku trying to peek from closed eyelids. A power of energy was around them as they were quickly transported from the Earth to the Moon. Drea's jaw fell open again and she laughed lightly at the joke her mother told her that she would catch flies if she kept her mouth open like that. Quickly shutting her jaw she stared at the ruins of a once majestic kingdom.
"What happened here?" Drea's question was almost a whisper but Serena heard her.
"This was once the beautiful Moon Kingdom that my mother once ruled over. Peace was kept throughout the solar system between all planets. I brought you here because this has to deal with both the Moon Kingdom and the Planet Vegeta." Both male Saiyans watched Serena speak as she transformed from her Sailor Senshi outfit to a beautiful white princess style dress. Serena sat on a nearby rock and bid everyone else to try and get comfortable.
"So what does this have to do with anything?" Drea asked with some impatience as she tried to make herself comfortable on the hard rock. Serena smiled at her and waved her hand. When she did this a light formed in front of them and there was a scene of the Solar System.
"Wait I don't ever remember that planet over there!" Vegeta said as he pointed to a small black planet.
"That is because it was long gone before you or I was born Vegeta. That is the Planet Desu, the Planet of Death. It was destroyed long ago by your father and my mother." Everyone's attention was on the light as it changed scenes again of the Planet Desu and the people that were in it. Drea winced as she saw the fierce battles that waged on below. Death and destruction was everywhere. Chaos seemed to reign free here. The scene changed to one of the throne room in a large castle and upon the thrones sat the Lord Yukio and the Lady Chiyo.
"These two people were the leader of all the citizens below them. They were blood thirsty and very war like. That is why their planet is called death. There is no rebirth or life there. They were often compared to be worse than the Planet Vegeta, no offense to you of course Vegeta, and their skills were compared to the assassins on Saturn. These people tried to become part of our Alliance. My mother refused. I believe she thought they would be more of a threat than a help in their cause for peace. I don't think I will ever agree to what my mother did next. When she refused them the royalty and citizens of Desu were angered and their prides were being put on the line in front of the other planets. To compensate for what the Moon Kingdom had done to them, Lady Chiyo and Lord Yukio sent their finest warriors to conquor the Inner and Outer Planets. They succeeded. The only remaining planets were the Moon and Vegeta. Both the King and Queen met and they soon began an army against them. Combined they were more powerful than one planet and soon succeeded in destroying the planet as well as killing the Lady Chiyo. They never found Lord Yukio so they had assumed he had died as well. The people were also dispersed throughout the other planets never allowed to come together again for fear of something like this ever happening again. And this is the reason why I believe Yukio is back. Not only is he here for Chiyo who happens to be your friend that you mentioned earlier but he is also back for revenge against the Moon Kingdom and against any and all Saiyans who were from Vegeta." Serena flicked her hands and the scenes before them disappeared.
"So this is why Lord Yukio has taken my friend." Drea quietly told herself as she clenched her fists together. "That bastard will not win. I will get Keiko back." Drea vowed to herself as the tears fell from her face.
"So we must stick together in this time now. Because if we are seperated we are more vulnerable and we will lose. He has had time to grow stronger. And we do not know of Chiyo's strength yet." Serena informed them. They looked at each and nodded.
"That might be a good idea Serena." Goku grinned as he scratched the back of his head. "It's been a while since I had a really good fight!" Everyone sweat dropped and looked in different directions.
"Kakarot don't get cocky!" Vegeta scowled at Goku and Goku stared back at him with amazement. Usually it was Vegeta they had to yell at for being cocky. Goku wondered for a moment what changed in Vegeta until he looked over at Drea who was awfully close to Vegeta. Goku grinned as he saw that the girl was taking an affect on him. He hoped they decided to stay in their dimension.
"What are you looking at?" Vegeta demanded and Goku shrugged his shoulders as he grinned and walked away.
"So what do we do now?" Mina (Sailor Venus) asked their leader Serena (Sailor Moon).
"As I said we need to stick together. If anything strange happens to you or you notice something out of place inform myself or the others quickly. As for you Drea is there any way you can contact your friend? We might have a good chance of convincing her to stay away from Yukio and not become Chiyo." Drea shook her head. She wasn't about to tell Serena that her friend already contacted her. Serena eyed her for a minute before shaking her head.
"Alright then. Let's get back to Earth. We can meet up at Rei's (Sailor Mars) temple to discuss this further." They all nodded their heads in agreement as the Senshi gathered around them again and they were transported to the park again. Drea could not help but be amazed at how people did not notice this right in front of them.
"Okay I'm sorry but I have to ask this! Why doesn't anyone see you do this in public? I mean your right there and nobody notices!" Drea asked with amazement in her voice. Serena laughed lightly.
"Magic my dear. It's all about the magic." Serena told her as she walked off with the other girls. Drea shook her head.
"I don't think I'm ever going to figure that one out." Vegeta watched her with a smirk as he followed Goku and Drea as they walked to a nearby bench.
"So guys. I guess we have to all stick together." Drea nodded as Vegeta leaned against a tree his muscled arms crossed over the other and he had his eyes closed. Drea tried not to drool and Goku noticed this with a smile.
"Do you guys even know where that girl Rei's temple is?" Drea asked as she turned her attention back to Goku.
"I made sure I got the address from her." Vegeta unwrapped his arms and revealed the piece of paper tucked in his hand. Drea squealed as she lept up from the bench and hugged Vegeta.
"Oh Vegeta your so smart!" Vegeta blushed as Goku laughed at them. Drea was excited and she needed some excuse to leap onto his hot body. Her heart was skipping as she stared into his dark eyes with a goofy grin on her face and she was even more surprised when she saw him blush. Scowling suddenly Vegeta pushed Drea off of him and began to walk away. Trying not to look to hurt by what he did she ran to catch up with him.
"We better get going to Rei's temple." Was Vegeta's only sentence as Goku hurried to catch up with them and they began their slow silent walk to the temple. People walked around them or avoided them as they strolled down the street. Vegeta looked intimidating in a pair of black leather pants (A/N: Yes Vegeta does now have a sense of style.), his black shirt against his broad chest, and his black trenchcoat barely touched the floor. Drea tried not to drool (again) at the image he protrayed. Somwhere along the way he had put on a pair of sunglasses. Goku was dressed simply in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, nothing out of place for him. Drea herself was dressed in a pair of low riding jeans that showed the top part of the thong she was wearing and she wore a white halter top that left little to cover of her body. She smirked as she felt several men stare at her. She figured if Vegeta did notice her then she would attract other guys and try the old technique of trying to get him jealous of them. So far the plan wasn't working. They were still several blocks from the temple when they stopped. The air was silent and nothing moved in the area. No one was around. It was as if the place was abandoned. Drea tensed her muscles when she felt the air around them begin to waver with new energy. It was powerful and Drea felt nothing like it. Vegeta and Goku both stood in a fighter stance as a black opening appeared before them and a tall woman stepped through. She was very beautiful. Her hair fell to the floor and it was the color of the night sky. Her dark purple eyes gazed at them as if studying them. She was dressed in a very revealing short black dress.
"I am assuminng that you three Saiyans are Vegeta, Goku, and Drea." Her voice was soft and gentle. They wondered for a moment who she was.
"Hai. That is who we are. Now tell us who you are?" Vegeta asked her with some annoyance.
"Ah yes. How forgetful of me. My name is Kei. I am here to destroy you. So if you do not mind please fight back as much as you think you can handle me. Prepare for your deaths!" She smiled a wicked grin as she launched an attack against the three. The woman called Kei launched a series of different levels of attacks as if testing their abilities, their strengths, and their weaknesses.
"Do you think you've had enough yet?" She asked them with a haughty grin.
"Not even close to having enough baka!" Vegeta smirked at her as he wiped away the blood that trickled at his lip. The woman frowned at him and then a blade appeared before her.
"I shall teach you a lesson Saiyan that you will never forget!" With those words she raised the sword high into the sky and the air began to grow more intense and it constricted their movements. "Kenbu (sword attack)!" She yelled out loudly her lungs shattered glass all around them. The sword raised from her hands spun quickly and split in different directions. There was not one but many swords as they began an intricate dance around them. Drea watched with sick fascination as she realized she wasn't going to be able to survive this attack. She was just trained in the arts of fighting at this level of power they were dealing with. But she wasn't going to go down without a good fight. The blades were spinning to a level that was impossible for most people to see but not them. They could see the blades getting ready to rain down on them. Vegeta was powering up for another attack and Goku was already launching himself at the woman who was only watching Drea. Shivering at the stare she watched the blades launch themselves at them. Drea gave out a cry of pain as the blade ripped through her upper arm and then she could feel the hard cement beneath her. Something heavy was on top of her and she could feel her heart slowly stopping as she realized that Vegeta was on her and protecting her from the blades that had attacked every point in his body. She couldn't see what Goku was doing or how he was faring in this attack but she hoped that he was okay. She watched as Vegeta's blood began to slowly pour over her body and her hands shook as she traced his jaw.
"Why did you do it?" Drea asked him in a soft voice and he only grinned at her before his eyes closed and his head rested on her chest. Her world came crashing down as she watched her potential lover slowly dying on her. The tears streamed freely from her eyes as she gently pushed him off of her and slowly stood. Looking down at his still body she glared at the woman who stood before them. She could see Goku still putting up a fight but their chances were getting slimmer. If they couldn't even win a battle against one of Yukio's minions then how were they going to face Yukio himself. Anger and rage filled her veins as she screamed loudly into the air and she felt her energy rising again. She was going past super saiyan one and going to super saiyan stage two. Her hair grew longer and she could feel herself changing again. Panting she looked at the woman who was now watching her with curiousity and Goku stopped his attacks on her to watch her with a knowing grin.
"This will be the last time you ever hurt anyone again! Do you hear me? This is the last time!" Drea stood straight up and extended her arms in front of her. A ball of blue energy began to form in front of her hands. Kei knew what was coming and began to move out of the way and started to prepare for another attack. But before she could move far from her she felt herself being slammed into the ground. On top of her Drea was staring at her with pure rage. "You're not going anywhere!" She growled low in her throat and for once in her life Kei showed fear. How did this puny Saiyan manage to bring her down? She was one of her Lady's finest warriors. Struggling against her she felt her power slowly seeping from her. Kei looked at the engraged Saiyan and had to admit to herself that she may have found an opponent worthy of her praise. She watched slowly as the blue ball began to grow brighter and she was almost blinded by the pure energy pulsating throughout it. Kei's last thought was one of asking for forgiveness for failing but at least she had destroyed one of the Saiyan's. The energy engulfed her and she screamed in agony as her world exploded and ended. Drea stood up from the non-existant body and breathed in heavily. She powered down and tried to make her thoughts clearer. She was forgetting something but what? Then it hit her. Turning quickly she fell to her knees in front of Vegeta and felt for a pulse. It was weak and if they did not get him help soon he would bleed to death. Calling Goku over she had him help her carry him to the temple to see if the Senshi had any idea as to how they can help him. They made it to the temple in less than a minute as Goku used his instant transportation to get them there faster. Many girls ran out of the temple and stared at them with shock and horror written on their faces. There were also two women and a small girl with dark hair and pale features but they ignored them as they rushed into the temple to lay him on the mat.
"What happened here?" Rei asked as she had Lita (Sailor Jupiter) and Mina (Sailor Venus) grab some clothes and water.
"We were attacked by one of the warriors. Her name was Kei. Don't expect her back anytime soon though." Drea added with a smirk on her face before it was replaced by one of concern.
"Let me help." They all turned to look at the pale girl who Drea saw earlier. She walked closer to them and kneeled before Vegeta. She was transformed from her school uniform and into a dark sailor outfit. She leaned over to him and whispered a dark language into his ear. Around him his aura began to brighten and the wounds started to heal. Almost all the wounds were starting to heal but Drea could see the girl begin to falter. Her energy was going out of her body at a rate that was too fast for the girl to handle. All Drea knew was that she was catching the girl before she landed on top of Vegeta. Smoothing away her hair she smiled at her softly and told her that she did a great job. Handing the girl to one of the women who was showing deep signs of care towards the young girl. She went back to Vegeta and smoothed his sweating brow that showed signs of a fever taking place.
"Take him to one of the back rooms. Drea you stay and care for him. Goku will stay with us and work out a plan of defense against this new enemy." Drea nodded and the women who she did not recognize helped her carry the sleeping Vegeta into a spare room in the far back hall. They laid him gently onto the bed and left quickly to get back to the meeting. Drea wanted to be a part of it to but she had to take care of him first. After a moment she located the bathrooms and grabbed several wet and dry towels. Grimacing she went over to Vegeta and blushed slightly as she began to remove his clothes. He lay there in all his glory before her and Drea could not make herself move. He was beautiful. It was like looking at a sleeping god. His whole body was a work of art. His scars and muscles accentuated the power that this man held. She remembered her night in the water with him but she had not been able to see what he looked like until now. Grabbing a wet towel quickly she began to wipe off the blood and sweat. With the dry towel she dried him quickly. She located a blanket nearest to her and pulled it over him and tucked him in tightly. Yawning she laid her head on her folded arms on the bed and closed her eyes.
For a moment all was dark and Drea could not see a thing. Her heartbeat quickened when she found a light in the bedroom she had seen earlier in the mirror. Drea was dumbstruck as she glanced down at her outfit and saw that she was in a royal purple low cut dress. Walking forward she could hear the 'clack clack clack' of her heels hitting the hardwood floor. As she entered the room she breathed in slightly as she saw all the finery. The room itself was a house all it's own. The windows were open allowing the fresh blue air inside. The wind caused the many silk sheets and curtains to blow gently. Lit in all corners were the standing candelbras. Drea was gazing around still when she heard a soft chuckle. Turning her head quickly she watched as a beautiful woman entered the room wearing a black with blood red trimmings at the bottom dress. Her black hair was pulled back in a high ponytail and her black eyes sparkled with amusement.
"I'm glad you like the place Drea!" Keiko spoke with a slight chuckle. Drea stared at her for a moment before enveloping her in a big bear hug and then pushing her away.
"Keiko! I miss you so much. But damnit did you have to hurt Vegeta? He is my potential mate you know?" Drea scowled at Keiko and she frowned slightly as she saw the pain flash through her eyes.
"I know Drea. I'm very sorry that happened but it must be done. My husband says that it will not hurt me as much soon because I still have my emotions from being human and all. But Drea I don't really want to give up on caring just yet. I don't ever want to come to the point where I hurt you intentionally!" Drea stared at her friend for a moment before hugging her again.
"You know Keiko you can always come back to us. Leave that Yukio guy and come back with us. It will be okay. We forgive you for anything that you had a part of." Keiko stared at her with large eyes that were quickly filling with unshed tears.
"I can't Drea. I just can't go back to do everyday normal things after I experienced all this." Keiko waved a hand around the room to emphasize her point. "And I can't disappoint Yukio. He is my husband after all and he did take many years to find me again. Even if love does come with a price Drea, I am willing to pay for it."
"No Keiko. You don't. You can go back to being whoever you want to be. But your not Chiyo anymore. She died thousands of years ago and now you are just a shell that holds her soul. But you have your own Keiko. Something no one else can touch. It's what makes you Keiko. Not some guy dressed in some wierd clothes to make you happy. I love you so much. And if you go with that Yukio guy I will have to fight you because these people did nothing to you yourself Keiko. Their families are what did the damage to your egos and planet. Not them. They are the second generation. If you want to blame anyone. Blame the first generation. I don't know what's so hard to understand Keiko. Damnit. Why does this have to be so damn complicated?" Keiko sighed in frustration and she glanced up at Keiko who stood trembling before her.
"Drea...I....." A sound behind Keiko made her jump. "Go Drea....before he finds you! Go!" Keiko shoved her friend hard and she had trouble keeping balance. Soon she was falling. Falling quickly and the ground rushed up to meet her but she didn't feel it because she was soon jerked away from her sleep by Vegeta's soft moan. Shaking off her dream she checked his temperature and saw that he was somewhat getting out of his fever. Wetting another cloth she ran it all over him to cool him off and then finally placed a cold cloth on his forhead. She was about to rest her head again when she felt Vegeta touching her cheek so softly. She froze on the spot and stared into his eyes as they looked down at her.
"So beautiful." He told her and she could feel her heart beat quicken as she stayed still. He brushed his rough calloussed thumb across her bottom lip and her tongue darted out quickly to lick her lips but instead licked his thumb. She could hear him moan. Was he delussional? She hoped he wasn't. "Why do I want you this much? I have never wanted any other female like this. I wanted to beat all those men who stared at you today. Didn't they realize you are mine?" She shook her head causing her light hair to fall slightly forward. His hand travelled up her cheek and into her hair and held onto it tightly as he moved her head closer to hers. Sitting up slightly he leaned in with her and roughly kissed her. His tongue danced over her lips seeking entrance into her warm awaiting mouth. She felt her mouth open at once and he quickly probed every corner and crease of her mouth. He gently licked the roof of her mouth and she grabbed onto the bed for support. Fireworks were going off behind her closed eyelids as his mouth bruised hers. He soon released the kiss and fell back to the bed sleeping. Drea stared for a minute before shaking on unsteady legs, got up, and went to sit on the floor the opposite side of the room. Vegeta just confessed to her how he felt. But would he remember it in the morning. Drea brushed a gentle hand over her lips remembering the kiss with excellent detail. She wanted the man so badly but would he be so able to admit to her that he needed her as well when he awoke? She hoped he would. It was also then that she realized that she was still bleeding from the open wound she had. Dragging herself she went to the bathroom to clean out her wound and bandage it the best she could. When she was finished she went back into the room and sat upon a wooden rocking chair and watched him as he slept and she hoped silently to herself she would be able to do this more often. Watch him sleep that is.

~Enemies and Lovers~
Drea laid her head on Vegeta's stomach as he slept. She had fallen asleep earlier but her mind would not let her rest as she kept visualizing Keiko and the strong power that emanated from her. She wondered why her friend changed so much. Drea did her best to move from Vegeta to go to the bathroom but he held a strong grip around her waist. Giving a light sigh she moved his arm and got off of him. Walking to the bathroom quietly she turned on the light and looked at herself long and hard in the mirror. It had only been two maybe three days that she had been in this dimension and she couldn't decide if this felt like home or not. Sure the people here were nice but it changed Keiko. Her friend almost felt lost to her. Turning on the sink she cupped the water with her hands and drank some of the cool liquid to ease her dry throat. Turning it off she stared at the mirror before it registered to her that she wasn't looking at herself but Keiko. Well not exactly like Keiko but you could still see it was like her. Behind her lay on a man on his stomach sleeping. Keiko shook her head and made a small sign to her to keep quiet. Holding up a piece of paper she gave it to her through the mirror. With shaking fingers she took it and Keiko smiled before blowing a kiss and Drea's image showed in the mirror once again. Her hands shook as she held the letter that smelled of lilacs and lillies. The scent somewhat eased her nerves as she sat on the toilet to read what her friend had written.
*Drea, I know this is a shock to you and probably to some others as well but I have found my true purpose in this life. I wanted to let you know that if you see me or a man with short red hair to avoid him or I at all costs. My dear friend I love you so much and I don't want this to be our last time together. I'd miss you too much if we were away for long. My love Yukio doesn't know that I am writing to you and please don't ever mention this letter to anyone! It is very important that you stay away from the Saiyans (even though you are one) and the Sailor Senshi. Just remember to stay away from them at all costs. Why do I even bother Drea? I know you are a true fighter and will fight along their side. But remember if I lose this war and die remember that it was not all in vain. I tried my best to end this hurt and pain that the Senshi and Saiyans had caused me thousands of years ago. The Senshi should be able to explain what it is that happened to me. I love you Drea. I miss you so much. I guess you were right about the 'normal' thing we talked about earlier the other day. It is better to be normal sometimes. Please be careful my friend. Please be very careful. I love you dearly, Chiyo (Keiko).*
Drea's hands shook as her eyes began to fill with unshed tears making her vision blur. Carefully she stood up and flushed the letter down the toilet. Once she was sure it was gone she went into the bedroom and laid back into bed with Vegeta. Drying her eyes she closed them and soon fell into a fitful night's rest. In the morning the sun brightly lit the room and Drea woke up quickly. Vegeta was not at her side and he was not in the bathroom. Her heart began to pound as she stood up and tried to think rational thoughts. She decided he probably went out to train so she went into the bathroom and showered and quickly dressed in a pair of short biker shorts and a black sports bra. Today she was going to train as well. She wanted to learn her full potential. After tying her hair into a high ponytail she left the room and headed to the kitchen.
"Good morning ChiChi." Drea greeted her with a friendly smile as ChiChi placed a plate full of food before her.
"Your probably going to want to train before finding the Senshi today so I made sure Goku and Vegeta stayed close to the house." She informed her as she washed another dish. Drea looked at her and grinned before wolfing her food down. Thanking her for the breakfast she ran from the kitchen and outside where the two warriors were doing basic fighting.
"Okay guys. I want to know how to be like you!" Drea smiled as she skipped over to them. They both nodded to her.
"Okay let's get the training started for you then." They warmed up with simple exercises but then they were showing her how to read ki's and how to lower her ki as well. This went on for several hours and she was soon picking up on being a Saiyan rather quickly.
"Great Drea! Now all you have to do is become super saiyan like Vegeta or I." Goku smiled at her and she nodded.
"You will want to concentrate all your anger into a big ball of energy inside you. When you feel that energy building you can scream out because it a slightly painful process to change and get more powerful. So why don't you give it a try." Vegeta told her as he leaned against the house wall.
"Hai." Drea said as she then to think of things that bothered her and she thought about the man that had tooken her friend away from her. She could feel her power emanating around her and the crackle of the air as it began to shake with the power she held inside her. She had only changed like this before the other day when she was angry about what was happening to them. She didn't know what she was doing then and she sure didn't know what she was doing now. With a high pitched she screamed as she felt her hair and eye color change. Her muscles became more defined as the power surged throughout her. Drea looked at them with a smug grin and then proceeded to attack them with a new force. They changed to Super Saiyan as well and they soon were fighting faster and harder. Drea was panting by the time Vegeta came near her and hit her hard. She fell to the ground with a hard 'thump' and she tried to stand up to fight again but Vegeta shook his head.
"That's enough for the lesson today. We have to go find the Senshi's today." Goku told them as they all powered down and headed into the kitchen to get cleaned up. After eating quickly they flew towards Tokyo City to find the Senshi. Several hours later they had no luck at finding them. Drea was getting frustrated and decided to go into a nearby candy shop to get some chocolate. 'Nothing like chocolate to make the day better' Drea thought as she ate the chocolate bar that she just bought. Drea stopped eating it when she felt unfamiliar ki's near them. Turning around to look in the shop she could only spot a group of teenagers giggling and talking about the guy behind the counter who was slightly blushing. It was a cute scene and she smiled but then frowned slightly as she walked over to them. The blond one was emanating powerful energy around her and her tail twitched slightly as it laid across her stomach like a belt.
"Who are you?" Drea asked her without an emotion showing. The blond turned to her and smiled brightly.
"Serena Tsukino. Have we met before?" The small blond asked her. Her blue eyes shined brightly up at her and she for a moment got lost in them.
"Serena you wouldn't happen to be Sailor Moon would you?" Serena's eyes widened and she quickly grabbed Drea and dragged into a corner.
"How did you know?" Serena asked her with an authoritive tone.
"Because you threatened my friends and I the other day remember? I am Drea." Serena looked her up and down and nodded.
"Hai, I remember you. What is it that you need?" Drea could not see the young teenager anymore but a more adult authority took hold of Serena's body.
"We need the Sailor Senshi to help us. My friend has been taken by a man called Lord Yukio."
"Lord Yukio?"
"Hai." Serena frowned.
"Okay meet me in the park in fifteen minutes. The other Senshi will be with me. And today I thought I was going to have it off." Serena said quietly as she walked over to her friends. Drea watched her a moment before she left to find Goku and Vegeta. She stopped after two stores and frowned as she watched the men being flocked by women. Growling low in her throat she walked towards Vegeta and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionatly.
"Hi hunny. Did you miss me?" Vegeta's eyes widened and then he grinned as he realized she was there to save him. He leaned close to her and nuzzled her neck.
"I always miss you when you are away." Drea's heart fluttered in her chest like a bird trying to escape. The women around them frowned as they stalked off. Some still remained attached to Goku and he gave Drea a pleading look.
"Okay ladies break it off. The man's already married." They gave cries of protests as Drea plucked them off of Goku. The last one left with a slight pout and Goku sighed loudly.
"What would we do without you Drea?" Goku asked with a huge smile.
"I guess you could always find your own way out of these situations." She told them with a wink.
"But anywho. Other than that I have some good news for you guys." They both waited patiently for her to tell them the news.
"I've found the Senshis for you and we are to meet in the park in oh about now!" Drea's eyes widened as she looked at the clock and grabbed their hands before running like a mad woman to the park. Panting for breath she looked around with large eyes and she reached out with her senses to sense their ki. After a minute or two she felt them and ran to the other end of the park. By then they had all met up and exchanged greetings and introductions.
"So you told me that someone named Lord Yukio has taken your friend correct?" Serena asked her with a a small frown. The other girls watched their leader with morbid fascination, if they were right about this one, then it would explain why there had been an increase in youma attacks.
"Yes. He said that her name was Lady Chiyo and we wanted to know if you had any information that could help us." Drea asked as a small tear fell from the corner of her stormy blue eyes.
"I may have some idea as to what you are talking about. Girls gather around them. We are going to the Moon." Drea watched with wide eyed fascination as the girls surrounded them. Vegeta and Goku watched with some interest at this as the girls transformed. Drea wondered how they could do that without anyone noticing them, but people went on, as if nothing was taking place. Drea's jaw dropped as she saw that during the transformation they became nude and then wore the mini-skirt sailor outfit that Keiko had commented on before. Glaring at Vegeta quickly, she saw that his eyes were riveted to her only. Blushing slightly she caught Goku trying to peek from closed eyelids. A power of energy was around them as they were quickly transported from the Earth to the Moon. Drea's jaw fell open again and she laughed lightly at the joke her mother told her that she would catch flies if she kept her mouth open like that. Quickly shutting her jaw she stared at the ruins of a once majestic kingdom.
"What happened here?" Drea's question was almost a whisper but Serena heard her.
"This was once the beautiful Moon Kingdom that my mother once ruled over. Peace was kept throughout the solar system between all planets. I brought you here because this has to deal with both the Moon Kingdom and the Planet Vegeta." Both male Saiyans watched Serena speak as she transformed from her Sailor Senshi outfit to a beautiful white princess style dress. Serena sat on a nearby rock and bid everyone else to try and get comfortable.
"So what does this have to do with anything?" Drea asked with some impatience as she tried to make herself comfortable on the hard rock. Serena smiled at her and waved her hand. When she did this a light formed in front of them and there was a scene of the Solar System.
"Wait I don't ever remember that planet over there!" Vegeta said as he pointed to a small black planet.
"That is because it was long gone before you or I was born Vegeta. That is the Planet Desu, the Planet of Death. It was destroyed long ago by your father and my mother." Everyone's attention was on the light as it changed scenes again of the Planet Desu and the people that were in it. Drea winced as she saw the fierce battles that waged on below. Death and destruction was everywhere. Chaos seemed to reign free here. The scene changed to one of the throne room in a large castle and upon the thrones sat the Lord Yukio and the Lady Chiyo.
"These two people were the leader of all the citizens below them. They were blood thirsty and very war like. That is why their planet is called death. There is no rebirth or life there. They were often compared to be worse than the Planet Vegeta, no offense to you of course Vegeta, and their skills were compared to the assassins on Saturn. These people tried to become part of our Alliance. My mother refused. I believe she thought they would be more of a threat than a help in their cause for peace. I don't think I will ever agree to what my mother did next. When she refused them the royalty and citizens of Desu were angered and their prides were being put on the line in front of the other planets. To compensate for what the Moon Kingdom had done to them, Lady Chiyo and Lord Yukio sent their finest warriors to conquor the Inner and Outer Planets. They succeeded. The only remaining planets were the Moon and Vegeta. Both the King and Queen met and they soon began an army against them. Combined they were more powerful than one planet and soon succeeded in destroying the planet as well as killing the Lady Chiyo. They never found Lord Yukio so they had assumed he had died as well. The people were also dispersed throughout the other planets never allowed to come together again for fear of something like this ever happening again. And this is the reason why I believe Yukio is back. Not only is he here for Chiyo who happens to be your friend that you mentioned earlier but he is also back for revenge against the Moon Kingdom and against any and all Saiyans who were from Vegeta." Serena flicked her hands and the scenes before them disappeared.
"So this is why Lord Yukio has taken my friend." Drea quietly told herself as she clenched her fists together. "That bastard will not win. I will get Keiko back." Drea vowed to herself as the tears fell from her face.
"So we must stick together in this time now. Because if we are seperated we are more vulnerable and we will lose. He has had time to grow stronger. And we do not know of Chiyo's strength yet." Serena informed them. They looked at each and nodded.
"That might be a good idea Serena." Goku grinned as he scratched the back of his head. "It's been a while since I had a really good fight!" Everyone sweat dropped and looked in different directions.
"Kakarot don't get cocky!" Vegeta scowled at Goku and Goku stared back at him with amazement. Usually it was Vegeta they had to yell at for being cocky. Goku wondered for a moment what changed in Vegeta until he looked over at Drea who was awfully close to Vegeta. Goku grinned as he saw that the girl was taking an affect on him. He hoped they decided to stay in their dimension.
"What are you looking at?" Vegeta demanded and Goku shrugged his shoulders as he grinned and walked away.
"So what do we do now?" Mina (Sailor Venus) asked their leader Serena (Sailor Moon).
"As I said we need to stick together. If anything strange happens to you or you notice something out of place inform myself or the others quickly. As for you Drea is there any way you can contact your friend? We might have a good chance of convincing her to stay away from Yukio and not become Chiyo." Drea shook her head. She wasn't about to tell Serena that her friend already contacted her. Serena eyed her for a minute before shaking her head.
"Alright then. Let's get back to Earth. We can meet up at Rei's (Sailor Mars) temple to discuss this further." They all nodded their heads in agreement as the Senshi gathered around them again and they were transported to the park again. Drea could not help but be amazed at how people did not notice this right in front of them.
"Okay I'm sorry but I have to ask this! Why doesn't anyone see you do this in public? I mean your right there and nobody notices!" Drea asked with amazement in her voice. Serena laughed lightly.
"Magic my dear. It's all about the magic." Serena told her as she walked off with the other girls. Drea shook her head.
"I don't think I'm ever going to figure that one out." Vegeta watched her with a smirk as he followed Goku and Drea as they walked to a nearby bench.
"So guys. I guess we have to all stick together." Drea nodded as Vegeta leaned against a tree his muscled arms crossed over the other and he had his eyes closed. Drea tried not to drool and Goku noticed this with a smile.
"Do you guys even know where that girl Rei's temple is?" Drea asked as she turned her attention back to Goku.
"I made sure I got the address from her." Vegeta unwrapped his arms and revealed the piece of paper tucked in his hand. Drea squealed as she lept up from the bench and hugged Vegeta.
"Oh Vegeta your so smart!" Vegeta blushed as Goku laughed at them. Drea was excited and she needed some excuse to leap onto his hot body. Her heart was skipping as she stared into his dark eyes with a goofy grin on her face and she was even more surprised when she saw him blush. Scowling suddenly Vegeta pushed Drea off of him and began to walk away. Trying not to look to hurt by what he did she ran to catch up with him.
"We better get going to Rei's temple." Was Vegeta's only sentence as Goku hurried to catch up with them and they began their slow silent walk to the temple. People walked around them or avoided them as they strolled down the street. Vegeta looked intimidating in a pair of black leather pants (A/N: Yes Vegeta does now have a sense of style.), his black shirt against his broad chest, and his black trenchcoat barely touched the floor. Drea tried not to drool (again) at the image he protrayed. Somwhere along the way he had put on a pair of sunglasses. Goku was dressed simply in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, nothing out of place for him. Drea herself was dressed in a pair of low riding jeans that showed the top part of the thong she was wearing and she wore a white halter top that left little to cover of her body. She smirked as she felt several men stare at her. She figured if Vegeta did notice her then she would attract other guys and try the old technique of trying to get him jealous of them. So far the plan wasn't working. They were still several blocks from the temple when they stopped. The air was silent and nothing moved in the area. No one was around. It was as if the place was abandoned. Drea tensed her muscles when she felt the air around them begin to waver with new energy. It was powerful and Drea felt nothing like it. Vegeta and Goku both stood in a fighter stance as a black opening appeared before them and a tall woman stepped through. She was very beautiful. Her hair fell to the floor and it was the color of the night sky. Her dark purple eyes gazed at them as if studying them. She was dressed in a very revealing short black dress.
"I am assuminng that you three Saiyans are Vegeta, Goku, and Drea." Her voice was soft and gentle. They wondered for a moment who she was.
"Hai. That is who we are. Now tell us who you are?" Vegeta asked her with some annoyance.
"Ah yes. How forgetful of me. My name is Kei. I am here to destroy you. So if you do not mind please fight back as much as you think you can handle me. Prepare for your deaths!" She smiled a wicked grin as she launched an attack against the three. The woman called Kei launched a series of different levels of attacks as if testing their abilities, their strengths, and their weaknesses.
"Do you think you've had enough yet?" She asked them with a haughty grin.
"Not even close to having enough baka!" Vegeta smirked at her as he wiped away the blood that trickled at his lip. The woman frowned at him and then a blade appeared before her.
"I shall teach you a lesson Saiyan that you will never forget!" With those words she raised the sword high into the sky and the air began to grow more intense and it constricted their movements. "Kenbu (sword attack)!" She yelled out loudly her lungs shattered glass all around them. The sword raised from her hands spun quickly and split in different directions. There was not one but many swords as they began an intricate dance around them. Drea watched with sick fascination as she realized she wasn't going to be able to survive this attack. She was just trained in the arts of fighting at this level of power they were dealing with. But she wasn't going to go down without a good fight. The blades were spinning to a level that was impossible for most people to see but not them. They could see the blades getting ready to rain down on them. Vegeta was powering up for another attack and Goku was already launching himself at the woman who was only watching Drea. Shivering at the stare she watched the blades launch themselves at them. Drea gave out a cry of pain as the blade ripped through her upper arm and then she could feel the hard cement beneath her. Something heavy was on top of her and she could feel her heart slowly stopping as she realized that Vegeta was on her and protecting her from the blades that had attacked every point in his body. She couldn't see what Goku was doing or how he was faring in this attack but she hoped that he was okay. She watched as Vegeta's blood began to slowly pour over her body and her hands shook as she traced his jaw.
"Why did you do it?" Drea asked him in a soft voice and he only grinned at her before his eyes closed and his head rested on her chest. Her world came crashing down as she watched her potential lover slowly dying on her. The tears streamed freely from her eyes as she gently pushed him off of her and slowly stood. Looking down at his still body she glared at the woman who stood before them. She could see Goku still putting up a fight but their chances were getting slimmer. If they couldn't even win a battle against one of Yukio's minions then how were they going to face Yukio himself. Anger and rage filled her veins as she screamed loudly into the air and she felt her energy rising again. She was going past super saiyan one and going to super saiyan stage two. Her hair grew longer and she could feel herself changing again. Panting she looked at the woman who was now watching her with curiousity and Goku stopped his attacks on her to watch her with a knowing grin.
"This will be the last time you ever hurt anyone again! Do you hear me? This is the last time!" Drea stood straight up and extended her arms in front of her. A ball of blue energy began to form in front of her hands. Kei knew what was coming and began to move out of the way and started to prepare for another attack. But before she could move far from her she felt herself being slammed into the ground. On top of her Drea was staring at her with pure rage. "You're not going anywhere!" She growled low in her throat and for once in her life Kei showed fear. How did this puny Saiyan manage to bring her down? She was one of her Lady's finest warriors. Struggling against her she felt her power slowly seeping from her. Kei looked at the engraged Saiyan and had to admit to herself that she may have found an opponent worthy of her praise. She watched slowly as the blue ball began to grow brighter and she was almost blinded by the pure energy pulsating throughout it. Kei's last thought was one of asking for forgiveness for failing but at least she had destroyed one of the Saiyan's. The energy engulfed her and she screamed in agony as her world exploded and ended. Drea stood up from the non-existant body and breathed in heavily. She powered down and tried to make her thoughts clearer. She was forgetting something but what? Then it hit her. Turning quickly she fell to her knees in front of Vegeta and felt for a pulse. It was weak and if they did not get him help soon he would bleed to death. Calling Goku over she had him help her carry him to the temple to see if the Senshi had any idea as to how they can help him. They made it to the temple in less than a minute as Goku used his instant transportation to get them there faster. Many girls ran out of the temple and stared at them with shock and horror written on their faces. There were also two women and a small girl with dark hair and pale features but they ignored them as they rushed into the temple to lay him on the mat.
"What happened here?" Rei asked as she had Lita (Sailor Jupiter) and Mina (Sailor Venus) grab some clothes and water.
"We were attacked by one of the warriors. Her name was Kei. Don't expect her back anytime soon though." Drea added with a smirk on her face before it was replaced by one of concern.
"Let me help." They all turned to look at the pale girl who Drea saw earlier. She walked closer to them and kneeled before Vegeta. She was transformed from her school uniform and into a dark sailor outfit. She leaned over to him and whispered a dark language into his ear. Around him his aura began to brighten and the wounds started to heal. Almost all the wounds were starting to heal but Drea could see the girl begin to falter. Her energy was going out of her body at a rate that was too fast for the girl to handle. All Drea knew was that she was catching the girl before she landed on top of Vegeta. Smoothing away her hair she smiled at her softly and told her that she did a great job. Handing the girl to one of the women who was showing deep signs of care towards the young girl. She went back to Vegeta and smoothed his sweating brow that showed signs of a fever taking place.
"Take him to one of the back rooms. Drea you stay and care for him. Goku will stay with us and work out a plan of defense against this new enemy." Drea nodded and the women who she did not recognize helped her carry the sleeping Vegeta into a spare room in the far back hall. They laid him gently onto the bed and left quickly to get back to the meeting. Drea wanted to be a part of it to but she had to take care of him first. After a moment she located the bathrooms and grabbed several wet and dry towels. Grimacing she went over to Vegeta and blushed slightly as she began to remove his clothes. He lay there in all his glory before her and Drea could not make herself move. He was beautiful. It was like looking at a sleeping god. His whole body was a work of art. His scars and muscles accentuated the power that this man held. She remembered her night in the water with him but she had not been able to see what he looked like until now. Grabbing a wet towel quickly she began to wipe off the blood and sweat. With the dry towel she dried him quickly. She located a blanket nearest to her and pulled it over him and tucked him in tightly. Yawning she laid her head on her folded arms on the bed and closed her eyes.
For a moment all was dark and Drea could not see a thing. Her heartbeat quickened when she found a light in the bedroom she had seen earlier in the mirror. Drea was dumbstruck as she glanced down at her outfit and saw that she was in a royal purple low cut dress. Walking forward she could hear the 'clack clack clack' of her heels hitting the hardwood floor. As she entered the room she breathed in slightly as she saw all the finery. The room itself was a house all it's own. The windows were open allowing the fresh blue air inside. The wind caused the many silk sheets and curtains to blow gently. Lit in all corners were the standing candelbras. Drea was gazing around still when she heard a soft chuckle. Turning her head quickly she watched as a beautiful woman entered the room wearing a black with blood red trimmings at the bottom dress. Her black hair was pulled back in a high ponytail and her black eyes sparkled with amusement.
"I'm glad you like the place Drea!" Keiko spoke with a slight chuckle. Drea stared at her for a moment before enveloping her in a big bear hug and then pushing her away.
"Keiko! I miss you so much. But damnit did you have to hurt Vegeta? He is my potential mate you know?" Drea scowled at Keiko and she frowned slightly as she saw the pain flash through her eyes.
"I know Drea. I'm very sorry that happened but it must be done. My husband says that it will not hurt me as much soon because I still have my emotions from being human and all. But Drea I don't really want to give up on caring just yet. I don't ever want to come to the point where I hurt you intentionally!" Drea stared at her friend for a moment before hugging her again.
"You know Keiko you can always come back to us. Leave that Yukio guy and come back with us. It will be okay. We forgive you for anything that you had a part of." Keiko stared at her with large eyes that were quickly filling with unshed tears.
"I can't Drea. I just can't go back to do everyday normal things after I experienced all this." Keiko waved a hand around the room to emphasize her point. "And I can't disappoint Yukio. He is my husband after all and he did take many years to find me again. Even if love does come with a price Drea, I am willing to pay for it."
"No Keiko. You don't. You can go back to being whoever you want to be. But your not Chiyo anymore. She died thousands of years ago and now you are just a shell that holds her soul. But you have your own Keiko. Something no one else can touch. It's what makes you Keiko. Not some guy dressed in some wierd clothes to make you happy. I love you so much. And if you go with that Yukio guy I will have to fight you because these people did nothing to you yourself Keiko. Their families are what did the damage to your egos and planet. Not them. They are the second generation. If you want to blame anyone. Blame the first generation. I don't know what's so hard to understand Keiko. Damnit. Why does this have to be so damn complicated?" Keiko sighed in frustration and she glanced up at Keiko who stood trembling before her.
"Drea...I....." A sound behind Keiko made her jump. "Go Drea....before he finds you! Go!" Keiko shoved her friend hard and she had trouble keeping balance. Soon she was falling. Falling quickly and the ground rushed up to meet her but she didn't feel it because she was soon jerked away from her sleep by Vegeta's soft moan. Shaking off her dream she checked his temperature and saw that he was somewhat getting out of his fever. Wetting another cloth she ran it all over him to cool him off and then finally placed a cold cloth on his forhead. She was about to rest her head again when she felt Vegeta touching her cheek so softly. She froze on the spot and stared into his eyes as they looked down at her.
"So beautiful." He told her and she could feel her heart beat quicken as she stayed still. He brushed his rough calloussed thumb across her bottom lip and her tongue darted out quickly to lick her lips but instead licked his thumb. She could hear him moan. Was he delussional? She hoped he wasn't. "Why do I want you this much? I have never wanted any other female like this. I wanted to beat all those men who stared at you today. Didn't they realize you are mine?" She shook her head causing her light hair to fall slightly forward. His hand travelled up her cheek and into her hair and held onto it tightly as he moved her head closer to hers. Sitting up slightly he leaned in with her and roughly kissed her. His tongue danced over her lips seeking entrance into her warm awaiting mouth. She felt her mouth open at once and he quickly probed every corner and crease of her mouth. He gently licked the roof of her mouth and she grabbed onto the bed for support. Fireworks were going off behind her closed eyelids as his mouth bruised hers. He soon released the kiss and fell back to the bed sleeping. Drea stared for a minute before shaking on unsteady legs, got up, and went to sit on the floor the opposite side of the room. Vegeta just confessed to her how he felt. But would he remember it in the morning. Drea brushed a gentle hand over her lips remembering the kiss with excellent detail. She wanted the man so badly but would he be so able to admit to her that he needed her as well when he awoke? She hoped he would. It was also then that she realized that she was still bleeding from the open wound she had. Dragging herself she went to the bathroom to clean out her wound and bandage it the best she could. When she was finished she went back into the room and sat upon a wooden rocking chair and watched him as he slept and she hoped silently to herself she would be able to do this more often. Watch him sleep that is.
