Yay! Your reading chapter 2!

Goes for every thing I said last chap, R&R, yada yada, princess_snake_@hotmail.com , yada yada you know the drill, it says the same thing on every one elses fic

Dispite my obivious ability to sell my facfiction for thousands and thousands of pounds (lie!), I am not, cos I hold it in such high regard (? ;) )

I also don't own Righteous Babe records or the publishing rights to Ani Difranco and her songs (specifically Shy, from the album, Not A Pritty Girl, which is v. good btw) unfair, but sadly all too true (sniffs back a tear) anyway, read away(



Vegeta stood in his usual spandex and white armour facing his new teacher. The sun had already sunk in a bright blaze of orange and gold and a velvety midnight blue was spread across the sky, the stars sparkled brightly like diamonds and the moon glowed, a sliver of a silver crescent in the cool night. The training room was huge and like most of the rooms in Freeza's palace expensively built. The arena was soft and sandy, it was large enough for even the strongest fighters to be comfortable as they fought. Around the arena were huge stands of marble seats for spectators, as example matches between fighters were not uncommon. There was a huge throne at the head of the area, this wasn't as intricate as the throne in the throne room but it was large and confortable looking. It was carved out of black marble, unlike the other seats, that were white.

"First I want to see what you can do." Kia said, her voice level, "So brought some willing fighters to help us out." She gestured easily over to a bench, where about five different warriors sat. "Okay?" She asked. The Prince merely grunted and nodded.

"Serenity, if you wouldn't mind." A tall woman stood up to face him, her skin was a dark chocolatey shade her hair curled in tight waves and was long, black and shiny. Her eyes, were a soft yellow saffron colour, and were edged in orangey-gold. She had markings around her eyes that were white, there were also lines across her face like war paint that were white, she was dressed in red spandex and white armour, this told Vegeta that she was a low class warrior. Why is she getting me to fight some low class woman? Vegeta wondered momentarily. She must think I am weak because I asked her to train me, I'll show her, she'll be sorry she underestimated me. He smirked and bent his legs and arms into a fighting stance, Serenity on the other hand remained standing her legs neatly together, her hands grasped together in front of her. What kind of stance is that? No wonder she only as low level. Shugging, Vegeta lept forwards and delivered a round house kick to the young woman across the face, sending her sailing backwards, she flipped on to her hands and stood again, What a weakling Vegeta thought to himself She must be scared stiff. Jumping forewords again her punched her in the stomach and delivered a swift uppercut to her jaw, this sent her sailing backwards again. Vegeta, pleased with his almost- defeat lunged again, this time Serenity reacted with lightning speed, flipping her body above his she landed a few feet behind him, expecting a punch in the back or stomach, Vegeta skipped further away from her as he turned. Watching her he saw her Ki flickering around her body her saffron eyes glowing beautifully. Watching her, confused he dicided that this must be some kind of attack he had never seen. Standing the woman began to stand, her body swaying she began to dance, she was beautiful, her black hair spraying over her clothes her eyes mystically glowing. Vegeta felt his mind growing beautifully blank, all that mattered was to watch this beautiful woman dance. Ki began to form in her hands, each of the tiny balls flew elegantly over his shoulders, one smacked him hard in the chest, sending him flying backwards and other grazed his left leg, burning his clothes and leg. No He thought She can't do this. His brain beginning to work as Vegeta again. I'll make her regret that. Vegeta tried to stand. He couldn't. He tried to fly. He couldn't, he tried to speak. His whole body wouldn't obey him. Serenity danced a little more and he found himself jerkily standing. Terror began to claw up his body, He had no control, no way to save himself, he was effectively completely helpless. Another ball of Ki grew at her finger tips, it seemed to be made of tangled threads, twisting together , etched in black. She brought the glowing ball to rest between his eyebrows. Usually, he was pretty sure, it wouldn't hurt much, he would probably ache a little the next day, but there would be no permanent damage, now that she had control of him he wasn't so sure. Drawing her hand back, as you would if you were throwing a ball she prepared to fire, Vegeta braced himself for the shock.

"Stop." Kia's soft accented voice said quietly. Serenity stopped quickly, She dissolved the yellow-and-green ball and released Vegeta.

"Vegeta, Serenity is a charmer, she uses that dance you saw to control people, once they 'let her in' she can do what ever she wishes with them unless they happed to be skilled with telekinesis." Kia held her hand out to Vegeta, who had fallen on to the floor when Serenity had released him, reluctantly he grasped it and she pulled him to his feet.

"Thanks, Serenity, you can leave now if you like." Serenity, who was looking anxiously at Vegeta, who looked ready to kill, nodded, bowed and practically raced to the huge, carved double doors.

"Why did you do that?" Vegeta snarled at Kia, tearing his hand out of hers.

"Do what?" Kia said, her voice full of confusion.

"You humiliated me Kia." He put an extra vocal sneer in the last word.

"I know. But you underestimated her didn't you?" The counter question threw him off balance. "You thought she was weak right?" She continued. "Its understandable, don't worry, but I have to teach you that appearances are deceiving, and you shouldn't let your guard down because your opponent lacks brute strength, okay?" Vegeta looked at her, half furiously, but he didn't say anything, just grunted. Kia looked unsure but then shrugged.

"Next up!" She shouted.

Kia and Vegeta wandered slowly to there quarters, they talked a little until they reached Vegeta's room. She smiled as the automated doors slid open.

"Nighty night Vegeta, good days training, see you in the morning right?"

"Yea sure." Vegeta muttered, not wanting to sound too keen. "Hey Kia." He said, as she was about to turn to leave.

"Yeah Vegeta?"

"Why is that woman, Serenity,"

"Yea"

"Why is she a low level, with a skill like hers, she could control most of the strongest fighters in the universe, she should join the elite."

"For the reason you just said." Kia said simply, sighing when Vegeta didn't understand she continued. "Vegeta, who's the 'strongest warrior in the universe'?"

"Freeza." He answered automatically.

"Exactly, if Serenity got very good, or has other friends who are charmers they could get Freeza to do anything, imagine, with a flick of a wrist he could be ordered to kill himself."

"Wow." Vegeta said, realising the full potential of Serenity's skill.

"Yahuh, wow. That is why Freeza has never spoken to a charmer face-to-face, a really good charmer doesn't necessarily need to dance to bring people under her control."

"Why are you telling me this?" Vegeta asked.

"Because you need to know, if you are ever to defeat him and become Super Sayjin." She said, her voice laden with possiblility. As she turned and began to wander down the slick, shiny corridor, murmering under her breath snaches of a song Vegeta barely heard.

.And I might let you off easy, yeah I might lead you on I might wait for you to look for me, and then I might be gone Where I come from, Where I'm going and I am Lost in between.

Wayyyyy! End of chapter two! Soz, this one was quite a bit shorter than the first, (like half as long () but there you go, now some of you might be a bit pissed that Vegeta is being so 'nice', but that's how I want it to be (fan FICTION people, its just a story, not the actual plot!) so if you don't like it, go away! (The few readers reading leave! ( ) oookay. .I'm still gonna keep writing anyways oh yeah, I do know I didn't use all of Ani's verse but if I had, I wouldn't have had the right effect (to the people completely confused: that poem thing is actually a song! Multitalented as I am I can't write poetry to save my life!)

wowee, I sure wrote a lot there, ne way, see y'all next time folks!
