Chapter Six-Never

            Minsa's things were quickly transfered to a room closer to her new duties. Bulma watched sadly as Minsa's fingers worked swiftly at moving her things.Bulma knew she had to see ChiChi as soon as she could to tell her what was happening, however Minsa had something to tell her before she left.

            "Bulma, things are going to change drastically now. ChiChi isn't going to be allowed up here at the palace, which means that you'll probaby be left alone with Prince Vegeta almost all of the time." Minsa swallowed hard. "Please be careful around him."

            "But won't I get to see you Minsa?" Bulma asked.

            Minsa shut her eyes.

            "We will probably never see each other again."

                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            The next morning when Bulma woke, it was eerily silent in her room. She got dressed quickly and then went into Vegeta's room. She knew that she now had to make Vegeta's meals. Bulma swallowed as she went around the tiny kitchen collecting her supplies. Suddenly she jumped as the door slammed, and Vegeta walked in scowling.At seeing her making breakfest, his  scowl deepened. Bulma sighed as she continued to cook.

            It was going to be a long life.

                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and Yamcha were still sitting in their cell. Goku yawned as his stomach growled.

            "Geeze... I'm hungry." Goku said rubbing his stomach.

            Krillin stared up at the ceiling from his cot.

            "Goku, you're always hungry."

            Yamcha and Gohan were in the corner playing a finger game at which Yamcha was losing.

            Suddenly the door slammed open making all of them jump.

            Nappa walked in smirking.

            "I've finally been transferred so I don't have to watch you damn bakas anymore."

            "Would you shut up Nappa?" a familiar voice said, floating in from the door.

            Nappa shrugged as he grabbed his stuff from off the floor.

            "Good-day, Lady Minsa." he said with a slight bow of the head as  he left.

            "Minsa!" Gohan said happily as he got up.

            Minsa walked in feeling slightly depressed, but was glad that they didn't have to be tortured by Nappa. However, she felt that they might be trading in one evil for a worser one.

Minsa quickly found out that during the day she would train trainees, and at night she would watch Goku, Gohan, Yamcha, and Krillin. But during the day, they would be watched by Riroku.

            "What's going on?" Yamcha asked he too stood.

            "I've been transferred here at night," Minsa explained. "But for today I'll be here too."

            "But what about ChiChi and Bulma?!" Goku exclaimed.

            "They're out of my hands now..." Minsa said quietly. "Damn Riroku." she muttered.

            Suddenly the door opened again, and Minsa jumped slightly and turned to the door.

            "Lady Minsa are you getting comfortable?" a voice asked, floating into the room.

            "Riroku..." Minsa snarled.

            Riroku smiled as he walkedi n.

            "What's the matter my dear?"

            "Why did you move me here?" Minsa demanded, becoming alarmed at his smug expression.

            "Well, it's not right for one's future mate to serve another man." Riroku said, as though stating the obvious.

            Minsa snorted.

            "You make a few mistakes in that statement, we're not future mates, and never will be, and besides the fact the K-"

            "The King would have to agree. And he has." Riroku cut in smoothly. "In fact he demands it. In less then a  year, you will belong to me."

                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~

            ChiChi sat patiently in her room, not doing anything. She had thought that Minsa and Bulma were going to come over and pick her up to go shopping, but then again Bardock was home. However Bardock suddenly stuck his head in.

            "I need you to go down to the market and get a few things."

            ChiChi unfolded her long legs and then checked her watch.

            It was true that Bulma's and ChiChi's watches were pointless and useless on this different planet, but they still kept them.

            After looking at it, ChiChi realized that even if they hadn't picked her up because of Bardock being home, they would still be at the market and she would be able to meet up with Minsa and Bulma.

            ChiChi grabbed the list from Bardock and hurried down to the busy market place. It didn't take her long to spot Bulma's blue hair in the stir of black heads. But where was Minsa's green hair?

            She hurried over and grabbed Bulma's arm, who jumped.

            "Oh Chi, it's only you." Bulma said quietly.

            ChiChi frowned, it looked as though Bulma had been crying.

            "Where's Minsa?" ChiChi asked.

            Bulma lowered her face.

            "Bulma?"        

            "She was transferred."

            ChiChi put a hand to her mouth.

            "But what about Goku? And Gohan? Krillin? Yamcha?" ChiChi asked.

            "We won't know." Bulma said quietly.

            "We'll never be able to survive without her help!" ChiChi exclaimed.

            (AN- Remember, they don't know that Minsa was transferred to Goku's and the others' cell.)

            "And it gets worse..." Bulma whispered as she started her story.

                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Minsa still stood still in the cell after Riroku had left.

            'I can't mate with him! I'll kill myself before I do!' Minsa's thoughts were screaming. 'Oh Kami, what am I going to do!?'

            "Minsa? Lady Minsa are you alright?" Krillin asked from where they stood by the cell bars.

            Minsa's mind snapped back into this world, and her eyes fixed on the men behind the bars, and her mind was plummeted into another shock of terror.

            'Riroku will try and kill them so that I get moved from here, into the same position as him.'           

            Minsa's mind thought over all these thoughts and they fit like a puzzle. Riroku's plan seemed flawless. Unless it never started.

            "Boys, I'm going to train you during the night. But you musn't tell anyone. I'll take you down to one of the torture rooms and we'll train there."

            Minsa's thoughts were rapidly flying around her head now.

            'Yes! If Riroku can't kill them then I won't get moved, and then it will be less of a chance that we will be mated...'

            Goku bliked rapidly.

            "Can you do that?"

            "I can try. But Goku you must understand certain things, Riroku is not like Nappa. He will try to kill you and make it look like you were just too weak to survive torture. If I train you to survive however... Because you can't retailate, if you ever, ever harm or kill a guard of the Saiyans, you will immediately put on trial, and you will most likely be excueted. And if your crime is bad enough, everyone from Earth will also be killed, including Bulma and ChiChi. That is why, no matter what, never harm a guard, a soldier, or a warrior of the Saiyan."

Author's Note: Take special note of that last paragraph!!! It will be important later on! Isn't Riroku so evil? He's awful! In that chapter, I came so close to telling about Minsa's past, but then went "Nope, it will be better farther along." Anyway thanks for all the reviews they made me happy! And one made me laugh, I'm sorry I can't remember who wrote it, but they called Riroku a baka, and commented on ChiChi's usage of the frying pan against Raditz. The more reviews I get the faster I will update, I promise! And by the way, ChiChi probably won't be in the next few chapters very much, Sorry ChiChi fans. So email me at vegetaztwin@hotmail.com to review or join my growing mailing list or just review.
