Chapter 3

A Friend

"Common Vegeta hurry up we gonna be late! You don't want to miss breakfast don't you?"

"I walking as fast as I can the stupid planet's gravity is too high, I can barely stand up!"

"Whatever I'll see you in the cafeteria then, if you ever made it" said Yakusoku leaving the young Saiya-jin behind.

Not far where Vegeta was struggling against gravity a group of boys were looking at him.

"Ok San you know what to do"

"Yes boss" San was member of Ore gang, they had taking over W.A. like it was they territory, they control everything, and General Mait approved of them, so Ore was like the boss of every students in W.A. his gang was made of the most powerful students in here, Yakusoku was one of them until Vegeta came in which anger him, but for some reason he didn't try to get back at her for betraying him. Rumors had been made that Ore was starting losing control, but he stopped them as soon they had come up. Now Vegeta was his target.

"What's up boy? Stuck?" Vegeta recognize quickly one of the boys that attacked him earlier.

"What do you want?"

"What does it look like?"

"You want to pick a fight with me, well then" The young Saiya-jin took his fighting stance and got ready for him, but San just laugh and push him in the ground and quickly put his right foot on the little prince's head. Surprised that he lost that fight before it started Vegeta had desperately tried to get up but without success San was much more powerful than he is, he felt humiliated.

"Let him go!" said a voice behind him of course it was Yakusoku that was looking for Vegeta wondering what took him that long to come in.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think I am scared of you?"

"I don't know, are you?" looking at Vegeta on the ground San took his feet of him and left, half way he turned his head and said "You know one day we'll get you!".

Vegeta stood and said angrily "I don't need you to fight my fights for me! I can take care of myself you know"

"Oh that's what you were doing with your face on the dirt; you didn't look like winning to me"

"Why don't you leave me alone? Who asked for your help anyway? I don't need your protection!"

"We can have that conversation again when you are capable walking normally in this place, now it's getting late lets go" She said that by picking the prince off his feet and carried him to the cafeteria.

"Put me down this instant! This is so embarrassing!"

"Well get use to it!" replied the girl entering inside. She seated the prince on a table and left to get their food.

Vegeta was eating his nose in his plate not wanting to look at his forced new friend's eyes. When he finished his meal the prince looked sadly at his empty plate, the girl who didn't take her eyes of him slide her plate full of food to him. The boy raised his eyes to look at her, "go ahead eat I know that Saiya-jin eat a lot, I am sorry I can't get you more food, you'll have to cope with your new diet, instead of two meals you'll have four, I know that will be barely enough but I think you'll survived it" she said smiling at him.

'What? Why she's being so nice? Why does she want?' thought the prince.

"What's wrong? You better hurry up class starts in ten minutes!"

"It's more than enough". After finishing his meal they went to class.

That day like many days that will follow will be the same. Vegeta will get himself in trouble Yakusoku will help him out they will ague and she will still look after him like a true friend, but one day things got a little complicated. The young prince had more or less handle his problem with the heavy gravity to move around without the help of his beautiful guardian angel, he had gotten much stronger training days in nights, and made a great deal of progress in his fighting skill, confident that he didn't need to follow that girl like her shadow.

"Good day! Aren't you cared to walk all by yourself without your friend?"

"I don't need her"

"Oh you don't eh, well why don't go meeting me after training tonight to see what you got" said San that left very quickly as he saw her coming.

"Don't chicken out on me"

"What did that loser wanted?"

"Who knows?"

After training the little prince find a way to leave her protector behind.

"I am here!" he said when he saw San waiting for him.

"I didn't think you'll come"

"Let's get on with it"

"A little impatient aren't we"

"Stop talking and start fighting!"

They fight alright, and San find out that the little boy have got really strong but nothing he couldn't handle, but before the final blow was struck one of the teachers caught them, and they both find themselves in a kind of Principal office, where they will got their punishment.

"You'll do two days in the pit San while you Vegeta you'll spend one week" said General Mait.

"What?" said a very shocked Vegeta?

"You can't do that?" said Yakusoku that had just entered the room.

"He's new and too young to go in there" she pleaded

"Miss Yakusoku, you have been a good student so far, and I am really surprise that you didn't get yourself in trouble, don't start now."

"Yes sir" she said leaving the room defeated.

The two boys was sent to the pit who is like a big dark hole with a hermetic cover it was like an isolation chamber, but the person inside will stay without food or water the whole time they will to spent in here.

This day in the cafeteria the young girl was sitting alone looking at where Vegeta use to sit.

"Don't be sad if he's lucky he'll get out alive" said Ore putting his arm around Yakusoku's neck.

"Take it off or I'll brake it off" she said with a menacing voice to the older boy next to her. Ore slowly took off his arm around her neck and said with anger in his voice

"I can't understand what you doing this he is just a little boy, he cannot even protect you and…"

"And you can, thanks for the offer that very nice of you but I have to declined"

"You know what happen to the other girls that where here before you"

"Yes, I am not worried". He opened his mouth to say something than close it he look at her for a moment and finally said "If you are nice with me maybe I could talk to Mait" he said in a sweet voice.

"Wow! And there I am that thought that you were the kind of guy that takes what he wants without asking" with rage he stood up raising knock out the table over, and his hand to hit her but their eyes meet for a brief moment and he lowered his arm and left. All the students were watching the scene amazed.

"What are you looking at?" Ore yelled at him everybody turned their attention to something else. Yakusoku went her food that she wrap up and headed to her quarters.

Alone in the dark Vegeta rocked himself, this was the third day and he felt like he was going to lose it. He was dying of hunger and thirst he had nightmares and hallucinations sometime he can't tell if his awake or asleep.

"I don't know how long I can do this"

"Of course you can, just hang in here for four more days"

"I can't, I can't" he said without strength.

"Of course you can, you are the prince Vegeta the toughest kid in the universe"

He chuckled "I thought you said that I am nothing if I can…"

"Will you believe every single lies others threw at you?"

"You think that I am the toughest kid in the universe"

"Who cares about what I think? What is important it is what you think kid, never forget that"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome kid, you're welcome"

The seven days passed on, and it was the time to put him out everybody was there to see if he was still alive. He claimed out of the hole by himself standing with pride, and walk trough the crowd. Everyone was looking at him in awed the boy had did it. Yakusoku was waiting for him in front of their quarters she had a big in inviting smile on her lips. He entered in she followed him she had just closed the door when he collapsed on the floor. She lift him to his bed and started unclothing him, she had run a nice hot bath and put him in here. She slowly washed him and started singing a song for him, it was about a warrior who went to war and came back victorious. Vegeta was looking at her, she had the most beautiful soothing voice and for some reason felt peace inside something he hadn't felt for a long time. She smiled tenderly at him like a mother to her child.

"Don't you worry I won't let that happen again"

"I know" He said then felt asleep.
