Last time one Thy Kingdom Come:
They shared a special moment that night, because for the first time they made love out of love and not lust. It was more enjoyable for both to because it was slow and welcome, instead of fast and fought for by both of them. In the morning, Ningami awoke to a empty bed and the should of Ki blasts hitting the landscaping around the Palace, which indicated that Vegeta was sparring with more than just Nappa and a servant. He had probably challenged the entire staff to a tournament, but Ningami just laughed to herself as she climbed out of bed and headed for a shower.
Thy Kingdom Come
Chapter IV: Honor
Ningami and sported an unusual smile on her face when she entered the empty dining hall. All the servants knew that the smile had only meant one thing, because she only smiled like that when she and Vegeta had made amends to their arguments in a very different way than a simple "I'm Sorry."
" Your Highness, its good to see you smile again." Said Joanie, Ningami's favorite servant. She was a human woman, who was nearing the prime of her life. Joanie was almost sixty but enjoying every minute of her life. Ningami couldn't help but keep the smile on her face; she was glowing from every part of her body.
"Oh it is going to be such a good day Joanie, I can feel it in my heart." Ningami said wisely. She was well educated and raised by the Royal family of Toynamke, a small moon of the planet Vegitasei that was populated by mostly third class worriers and women folk. All but the Royal Family were weaklings. But the family was quiet powerful indeed. Ningami's tail was removed when she was a small child as well as most females Saiyans, to attempt to be prevented from going into the Oozaru stage. She ate her breakfast and was puzzled in why Vegeta and Nappa had not joined her like they did every morning.
Servants began to shuffle in and out of the Palace side doors, mostly into the courtyard where the sounds of instant transmission and Ki blasts could no longer be heard. Ningami looked out the dining room hall window into the courtyard. She saw about six servants gathered around Vegeta and Nappa, some servants were the medical technicians that cared for the regeneration tank and the King. Vegeta's face had looked very angry as the head of the medical advisors had spoke to him, and Ningami could hear his yell from inside the palace.
"What do you mean there is nothing you can do?!" The technician had replied, but it was in a cool and calm voice that Ningami couldn't hear from inside the palace. When Vegeta pushed past the servants and headed for the door to inside the Palace. Ningami hustled over to the door and bumped into Vegeta when he came through the door.
"Vegeta what's go." She started to get out, placing her hands on his arms to stop him from continuing and getting him to speak to her.
"Not now woman," he said in his usual harsh tone, and pushed her hands off his arms. A servant had caught her arms and nodded at her. Ningami stayed in the main hallway as the servants moseyed past and certain things were passed up and down the halls. Vegeta had sat close to his father's bed. He knew that one day he would have had to kill his father, but he never imagined he would have to do it while he was on his deathbed. The Kings eyes were closed and his breathing was slowing yet steady. No one had informed Ningami of the Kings current state, because Vegeta didn't want her to know just yet. There were a lot of preparations to be done before a new King and Queen could be induced into the Throne.
The Kings eyes opened slightly, and Vegeta had sprung from his chair and to his father's bed. The King only mumbles something Vegeta seemed to understand. His father knew what he had came to do, and he was ready to past on the throne to his only son. Vegeta placed his hands softly on his fathers chest, wanting to be as gentle as possible for the first time. His father had given him life and Vegeta hoped that his son would help him into the other world. Vegeta's hands began to glow and he spoke quietly:
"Good-bye father." The glow filled the room and painlessly the great King of the Saiyans had perished. Vegeta had hot tears flowing down his cheeks as he stood from the side of his father's bed. He regained his composition and opened the door to the Kings Chamber. The medical technicians all rose as Vegeta exited the room. He left the door open, and the servants all poured into the chamber. Vegeta had begun to walk towards the main hall where he left Ningami.
Otro had heard from the other servants about the death of the King, and Ningami's location. He realized that if he couldn't have her, no one could. Not even the Prince of all Saiyans could have her. He stood at the bottom of the large staircase, as Ningami began to come down them. Otro smiled at her, and she knew something was up. He noticed her worried look and tried to hide his plan. But she looked so beautiful today, he dress was purple and it accented the color of her eyes. Her headdress was a long purple veil behind her, with two red circles securing it on her head. The dress had long sleeves and it was to her feet and very puffy.
"Otro, what's going on around here? Vegeta stopped his training and has disappeared. The servants are all going mad bringing stuff everywhere and the medical technicians are everywhere." She asked, stopping on the same step as Otro was on, which was only a few steps from the very bottom. He said nothing for a while, until Ningami opened her mouth to speak again. Otro raised his hand to cover her mouth, but she moved her head back and went up a step defensively.
"Nothing is wrong my dear. But, I do have a little proposition for you. Since I know you love to handle all the current issues of Vegitasei. You can choose between me or no one at all. There is no Vegeta in my world Ningami, so I suggest you make the right choice." he spoke calmly and in a somewhat happy voice. Her eyebrows came together not fully understanding where he was coming from. Did he want her to choose him as her mate too? That was ridicules; Otro knew the penalty for the two mates of one female. The realization had set in. Ningami realized that she could choose him, or she could choose to die. Ningami moved her hand up the railing and began to take a few slow steps up.
"Wha.you know the penalty for murdering a member of the Royal Family Otro, you'd be killed as well." Her voice was shaky from fear. He began to follow her up the steps, his a little large than hers to catch up. He had the same crude smile on his face that Vegeta had when he became the cold, heartless villain he was on the battlefield.
"Oh I know, but you see that way I can be with you in the after life. I'll find you on the Ki's planet and that way you don't have a choice on which your mate is. Its me either way sweetheart." He said laughing a bit, quickening his pace after her.
"Don't do this!" She gasped turning around and making a mad dash for the up stairs. She had gotten over half way up before Otro caught the bottom of her dress, causing her to trip on the next steep and fall onto the stairs. Lifting her up by her headdress, he wrapped his hands around her small, thin neck. She was only able to gasp as his grip began to tighten around her neck. His eyes were filled with hate, and fear of what he was doing. Otro's grip was tightening quickly, and it brought the tears out of Ningami's eyes.
"You don't know what love can do to a person Ningami. It will drive you insane! All I ever wanted was for you to love me and I never got it! You could have prevented this Ningami! But you are so foolish to believe that you are worth that low life Vegeta who doesn't care about anything but his own pride and honor!" Otro's own words had fueled Ningami's own anger. She flared her Ki up, causing Otro be let go from his grip. He was thrown from her and fell backwards down the steeps, landing only a few steps away from Ningami.
Ningami scrambled back up the stairs as Otro came to his feet and raced after her. Otro had tripped on a stair, but to make up for it he reached out and latched onto Ningami's left foot. She again fell onto the stairs, only one away from the top floor. She turned to look at him, and thrust her right foot hard down towards his face. Otro had moved just in time to catch her foot in his other hand. She fought with him for some time to get her feet released, but he just wouldn't let go. He tried to use her legs to pull himself towards her, but he only got met with a swift foot to his chest.
A pair of strong hands came around her waist, and pulled her from Otro's grasp. He lifted her up to his eye level and she saw the pure hate and grief in his eyes. Vegeta had never looked so tired and worn out in his life. It seemed like the moments went in slow motion, as her Prince had snatched her from harms way. Vegeta tossed Ningami to the side, and went straight after Otro.
Otro made a quick roll backwards and rolled repeatedly down the stairs. Quickly after however, Vegeta picked Otro up by the collar. Begging and pleading for Vegeta to listen to him and spare his life. Ningami didn't want to see Otro die; he was her friend before he became obsessed. Vegeta had drug him out into the courtyard, spite the many servants pulling on his arms to make him release his grip on Otro.
Ningami had also followed them into the courtyard, and had been close to Vegeta's side. She touched his arms and pleaded with him to let Otro go. Vegeta thrust his arm towards her, causing her to stumble backward bit. Nappa had rushed onto the scene, knowing exactly what it was about. Nappa tried to force the Saiyans grip from Otro's collar.
"Your Highness, Otro's life isn't worth taking! It seems the Ningami has chosen you and this servant as her mate." Nappa said, violently trying to get Vegeta to release Otro. Vegeta's gaze snapped to Ningami as the news of their sudden "affair". Her face was of utter horror and she had to speak out to defend herself against these allegations.
"I have not chosen Otro as my mate. I have only declared the Prince, Vegeta my mate." She said with confidence in her voice. Yet, fear lurked in her mind for she knew the consequences for a woman chosen two mates.
"Is Ningami your mate, or have you been courting her against her will?" Vegeta said as calmly as his attitude would allow him.
"Don't you dare lie to me boy."
"She's not my mate. She doesn't love me, she only loves you and I've tried everything in my power to get her to see the cold, ruthless killer you are on the battlefield, but she refuses me!" Otro screamed into Vegeta's face. Anger fueled by rejection had built up inside of him for many years. His want for Ningami had also fueled the burning rage inside of him, until he had to take action because the fire got lose and took control of his easily imprisoned mind.
"Well there is only one way to solve this. We must perform the Saiyan ritual of the Ra Shu. A battle to the death between two chosen mates." Nappa declared as Otro's face turned from anger to horror. Vegeta's crude smirk came back to him at the sound of the Ra Shu.
"Tomorrow morning. At the first sight of sun, we shall perform the Ra Shu, fight to the death for the honor of Ningami. If I should win, Ningami is mine like she always has been. But, if this lowly peasant should win, then he will have Ningami as his bride, and he shall retain my title has King of all Saiyans." Vegeta's words stunned everyone but himself.
Vegeta let Otro go, and grabbed onto Ningami's arm. He wiped her around the corner, bringing her into the bed chamber. Otro was ambushed by Saiyan Elite Soldiers and his hands and feet were tied together. Roughly he was through into a holding cell I nthe basement of the palace. There he would lay until morning, when he was ushered out to the arnea. Ningami had trouble sleeping, thankful she was alive but tortured by what she had done to Otro. Vegeta was breaking a sweat in the training chamber relieving some of his stress on weak punching bag. He retired to their bed chambers to find a sleeping Ningami, and rested his body and mind for the tournament tomorrow.
