12. Midnight Rendez-vous
Diana on time walked through the hallway to the king's bedroom and waited patiently. She was nervous. What if something went wrong, what if she did something wrong? Would he blast her? Boom...away...bye-bye...She sighed miserable. If only he would come. She wouldn't have to worry so much if he did...
Voices coming closer, then the door opening. And in came a tired king. Nodded at her as he pulled off the armour and smacked it into a corner.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I was occupied." he muttered. "Understandable." Diana replied. Feeling butterflies in her stomach at the sight of his silhouette in the black suit. Wow...ever so nice...he said something, foggy Diana glanced up, come again? He smirked.
"I said, has Sakura woken yet?" "Oh...yes sire. But she's more tired then when she went to bed..." She snickered over her own joke. T'was true! Went to bed with her lover boy! And now again! Hehehe. Confused the king eyed her. She stopped slowly. Beaming up.
"To be honest...I was waiting for this...and now it's happening...I'm nervous." Diana admitted. Best to play it open and fair.
"Amusing. Most females flee if possible. As if I'm the boggy man or something." the king grinned. "Boggy man? Hardly." The king pulled his gloves out, first plucking each fingertip before draping them on a table. Diana wondered if they were soft. He wore them always...
"Have you dined yet?" He nodded. Walking up to her. She felt very small. Now what...come on Diana you're the smart mouth... "You do not have to be nervous..." He told her. "I forgot something..." Diana stammered suddenly. He blinked. "Which is?" "Precautions...err...you know..." she prayed he did. "Contraception?" she nodded meek. "Unless you wish more kids...fine by me..." He stroke her cheek. "You can go to sickbay tomorrow and take a pill. It will purge your system of any thing not supposed to be present."
"And what if I don't wanna?" she husky teased. Crossing her legs. The dress creeping higher. "You can't make me..." The king smirked dangerously as he still towered over her.
"Let me see...A woman who would disobey...I might let her carry full term...then shoot the child and her as she presents it. I might shoot her the moment I discover she is carrying...I might order an abortion..."
"I'm so scared...must be neat to have all that power..." Coyly diana sat back and dropped down on her back. Her arms tucked under her hair. Lewd she eyed him. "I was taught that such power...corrups...are you?" he grumbled bemused as he like a panther rested his right then his left arm beside her waist. The bed supporting both with ease.
"See me tremble? I'm such a terrified harem girl..." "I se you found your sharp tong once more..." "Near death experiences tend to spice up your life..." Diana snickered. "So I noticed..." diana felt his breath stir in her neck "Do you think you can take me this easily?" She smirked bemused as he for a moment eyed her confused, then a twinkle came into his eyes. Knowing...or hoping, he wouldn't kill her for it, she kicked his family jewels and crawled over the bed and under it.
"And remember Veg's...no cheating...no lifting up the bed..." Diana sung. Not even needing to recover as he hardly sensed it, he smirked. Games? Should have known she'd be a hard cookie. He liked it.
***
In the bedroom Sakura sighed. So bored alone she ran a bath and soaked in it. She was restless. And made a recap of today's activities. Her feet ached from standing all day. She still...how was it possible...hyper. Not too tired. Her hair finally freed from that super glue. Learned to have sex with a guy, who...incidentally was the captain of the royal guards...he was kinda royal. She was starving but too lazy to get out of her warm tub. What she needed was...ALE! Suddenly full of renewed energy she hopped out of the water, slid past the towels snagging one behind her and ran with wet feet into the room. She'd go to the bar! Again. Thinking up a new...better thought through scheme. MUCH better planned. Backfire 2 in one day? Nah.
***
Diana managed to dodge him often enough. Mainly because he let her. Until after a 10 minute game, he snagged her with his tail. Curled around her wrist he pulled her into his arms. Breathless because of his male scent, Diana glanced up. His well kept beard, short and refined, making her curious if it was just as stiff as his hair. Brave she reached up and stroke his jaw, starting from his left ear to his chin where she managed to feel the fine hairs. Bit hard, but not overly so. Only logical she suddenly thought. He could shave. Some Saiyans were clean faced, others had a long beard. Stupid. Should have known that by just looking. Without noticing the king had encircled her into his arms and his tail now around her waist. She snapped out of her dreaming, and back at the play at hand.
"So...do you know what you'll do with me, if I don't go tomorrow?" he leaned into her and started licking her neck.
"Nothing...but i urge you to re-consider...it is not a game...Vegeta will see the child as a potential rival to the throne...he'll kill him or her before it develops beyond his power..." "No way...not even a sweet little girl with tousles and pretty skirts?" "Woman...Saiyan girls are even nastier then boys." "Then why chose a boy for a throne, instead of a girl?" "Strength..."
"Women have brains...they follow they're intuition..." She mused as she faintly noticed she was being draped on the bed. "And men have totestron...And with my fathering skills...tactic, knowledge and brains..." "Ever heard of emancipation?" He grinned. "Oh, I have...and if i had spawned a girl as first child...she would be queen...fate decided otherwise." "Hmm...What if fates decides...you have to catch me again?" she leaned closer to his lips, noting his imbalance, threw him off and rolled away out of his grasp.
"As I said...female brains!" She chided and the game started again. ***
As she wanted to mix into the crowd she dressed into the stretch suit and armour again. This time shedding the cape. Remembering vaguely that Saiyans off duty shed them as well. She wondered about her fake tail...hmm... Nah. They knew her already. Grinning she put her drying hair in a bung and skipped with gloves (against ale spilling, sticky stuff y'know) and boots (Again...ground...ale?) They were disposable anyway. Only borrowed junk. Maybe she could nag 'Zorn' for new. Hell they were 'close' enough. Hehehe. She could count him into her, scheming buddies.
Humming she skipped through the hallways.
"Going to party eh?" A guard asked soar. Evening shift. She even had her green glassed shouter on. Just in case. It still was set to security channel. She was confused at that. Weren't they supposed to be scrambled.
-You never know what I'm hearing from the kings bedroom...- A male nearly hummed pleased. Interested she turned the volume up as he whispered real soft. On the other end three asked him 'what?'
-Well it sounds like...-
-WILL YOU SHUDDUP ABOUT THE KINGS ACTIVITIES!?- Zorn's voice cut through Sakura's skull and she dazed yanked the scouter off her ear. As she glanced up ten on each side of the wall's did exactly what she did and eyed their scouters weary as Zorn's voice howled through all 21 in the hallway. -IF I EVER GODDAMNED HEAR A HINT OF THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE KINGS NIGHTLY ACTIVITIES I'LL PERSONALLY DRAG YOUR REARS INTO THE THRONE ROOM AT 5 AM AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED WITHOUT BREAKS UNTIL 10 PM!-
"Wow...watch your blood pressure Zorn..." She muttered soar. Her ear still ringing. -SAKURA PUT THAT THING ON YOUR EAR IF YOUR LISTENING IN!- she smirked as the guards frowned. Oh dear... standing steady she positioned the thing before her lips.
"NOT IF YOUR BLOODY SCREAM THROUGH THE ETHER!" -I'LL DO WHATEVER I BLOODY WELL LIKE!- "WELL HOWL ON ANOTHER CHANNEL!" she retorted, humming as she strolled on. Great! Picking a fight long distance.
-SAKURA I HATE YOU AND I'M DRUNK!- she stopped drunk? And he was admitting it?
"Drowning in misery I bet." -NO, because this might be the last time in my life! Change the channel to a secured one!- "SURE, as if I knew HOW."
-RED BUTTON WOMAN! Explained that 2 times.- "Did not. Switching..." the line crackled before going dead silent. "Anybody out there?" -Off course I am!- Zorn hiccuped. Sakura snickered.
"Now, why would I tell any one what happened?" -Well because you told your dear sister who now is bedding the king?- he sounded very pitiful...towards himself.
"You disappoint me." she admitted. He was silent. In shock probably. "I can assure you Diana will not inform the king of anything I don't approve of." -Yeah, right, women are famous for yapping too much.-
"FINE BE THAT WAY." she cut the line. Damned self pitying idiot, and she slept with that? Turning back to main security channel she strolled on. Hoping he would drown in his ale. -To all you Nappa dimwits...I hate you all. I hate your colour scouter's, I hate the way you don't stand properly, I hate you cause your always late...and I hate you because...YOUR NAPPA'S MEN.- she sighed.
"Zorn?" -WHAT?- "SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOUR DRUNK." -I KNOW AND IT FEELS GREAT.- "What ever. Any one close to Zorn? Get his scouter away from him? Were all suffering needlessly." -I am...but ah...will I live?- she smiled as she recognised Kakarott. "Hi Kakarott! Sure, Zorn? If you hurt him, I'll go straight to the king and tell what happened...in detail." -NO YOU WON'T!-
"Oh you bet." -You want ME, captain of the royal guard, to hand a guard, a simple one at that, 'my' scouter?- "Yup. That sums it up. Either he does, or I'll come over. Understood?" she snarled warning. -As if 'I' scared of a woman. I'm more weary of your tong.- "Fine. Sec..."
She ran back to the kings guard before his door. "Say Baltor, mind me passing?" -Baltor? I posted him before...- "Sure miss." -AH NO! NO-NO-NO!- softer... -Here catch! What a snake!-
"Tell him I heard the snake bit..." Sakura sneered. -I don't think he will...he passed out just now...any orders commander Sakura?- she laughed. Coolies! Promoted!
"Take him to his bed to sleep it off. And after, have fun." -Yes SIR, I like that order.-
"Gives me an idea..." She mused. No one listened any more. She already had it on mute anyway. Scouters weren't hard to understand. Now if only she could get this number work in numeric...Now then...BARRR!!! She met up with Ishta, and Bardock whom she hadn't met yet.
"Wow, your finally walking on your own!" she chided. Hinting at the rumours and once seeing him being dragged down into the sickbay.
"Excuse you..." he growled, eyeing her over as if she were trash. She only found humour in it. She was being looked at...as trash!!! Celipa and Ishta kicked both his heels.
"Hey Cel!" Sakura wailed. Hugging the smirking Celipa. "Hi squirt." "WOMAN! I told you never to kick my heels again, your so dead!" "No you can't kill her. I forbid it." Sakura informed warning.
"Who are you, to forbid me anything? I can do what ever I please." "I am Zorn's substitute commander." "No way...did the king did that? You look weak and where the hell is your tail?" "Missing in action." She lied. The other girls giggling. SURE...ACTION!
"Ishta, Celipa...STOP THAT BRAYING!" they hopped in attention. Confused Bardock eyed them. Had they lost their minds...she was so...small...and...frail...and her hair was so lose...was she Saiyan?
"YES SIR! SORRY SIR!" "Much better." Glad the girls acted along Sakura lifted an eyebrow at Bardock who was at a loss to respond, who was she?
"Well team leader Bardock...I am WAITING? ATTENTION!" automatic the hall hopped in attention. Drilled into their skulls for years. Confused Bardock stood straighter with his arms smooth beside his frame. Only then did Sakura lose it and lay crying on the floor in glee. Feeling busted Bardock's mood worsened. About to kick her Celipa warned him not too.
"I wouldn't do that, she's one of the kings fav. girls." "That?" he pointed at the whimpering Sakura who only laughed more. "Yes. That." Ishta clarified smug. "And she and her sister like to play dress up...only a few times backfired Neh?" Ishta eyed Sakura smiling as she nodded and laughed more and more.
"Girl, stop that laughing, it's infectious. So on your way to the team bar?" Sakura weakly nodded. Ishta and Celipa pulled her up and supported her outside. Already forgetting the incident Bardock tagged along.
***
Once more Diana found herself on the bed, this time thrown into it. Bet he was getting inpatient... "Goody, I like to play rough!" she smirked as he stalked over her like a predator. "Are you ticklish?" she wondered sheepish. "No, and no more escapes...no more...games..."
"But I love games..." "I know, lets play a new..." with his teeth he unclasped her dress as his nose trailed down her bare back. His hands soon followed, down into the small of her back. "Your maybe not ticklish...but I sure am..." She weakly told. "Noted..."
"Yeah right.you're a user...that's why you're a king..." "You bet..." She was flopped over and lost sight of her dress and underwear. Quick hands... "Aw man...I wanted to strip...down the drain..." The king smirked as he nibbled her nipple. "Next time..." "Oh god..." the king snickered as he continued.
***
They all entered the 'Ice-picker' an old one, from before the Freeza era. She knew him to be a younger brother of Coola. But when she asked about why Coola was such 'good buddies' to them, none wanted to tell.
In to the smoky den they went. The alcohol smelled in the air enough to get you light headed. Sakura eyed the soggy ground. Ale...And some Saiyans were flat out and drenched...long live fun?
Soar she heard the drunk Saiyan on a sort of Keyboard. Okay, heard him playing last night too. Bye-bye. She stalked over as Celipa handed her some ale in a large can.
Bemused she noticed that the bloke eyed her with dazed eyes, she shoved him aside, with a thud he landed on his rear beside the stool. She made herself comfortably and eyed the many keys. Touched a few, changed the setting on it until he gave the right sounds. To get them awake she threw a full minute of trance beat at them. Oh she got their attention alright. She smirked as she started playing the intro of her near fav song. In search of sunrise Re-mix by DJ Tiesto, sung by Sarah McLachlan.
Starting to mix sounds, sometimes screwing up but rearranging as if they were part of the song she found the correct way and smirked as she started sing the Lyrics while focussed on the keys. Synthesiser class paid off. She in a smooth motion activated her scouter and allowed the guards to listen in. Smirking she heard they talking subside and silence greeted her ear. Pleased they liked it she hit the record button by accident, obliviously continuing with mixes and the grand finale, the intermission. She used the long version of the song. Glad she already heard it a zillion times before. She remembered nearly every note.
The Saiyans coming from their first shock or culture clash glanced up. No more plink-plonk or that bass? No, this actually had melody and rhythm...and...actually...rocked! And with this beat, you could time your slam in someone's face good while drunk. One by one they started jumping up and down and going wild. Not that hard, they were Saiyans. Sakura eyed her can shaking under the tons of feet crashing down, not nearly synchronised either. Then again...they weren't used much. She didn't even know enough about them to know if they had songs of their own, and music.
Smoothly she moved into the song Warrior, a club mix by Stacy Harmer
Here comes your warrior... He's letting you know, your sun will come shining now your sun will come shining
Smirking she saw Celipa and Ishta looking at her stunned. Then freaking in musical bliss as they pulled two Saiyan blokes over and danced with them.
Here comes your warrior... He's letting you know, your sun will come shining now He's come to embrace you...
She repeated the Lyrics twice before intermission. And played her heart out. Fun thing with re-mixes, you could do it your own way. And no lawyer about copyrights would bug her here.
***
In the kings bedroom Diana was dying. Not normally no, in total bliss...he was fabulous...made in heaven, or hell but so pleasing...Forged in hell...yeah...So?
In the hallways of the palace all guards blinked as they heard the alien music reach their before tortured ears. Even though the beat would hurt with a headache, it wasn't half bad to listen to it. Not at all...
"Who is this band?" One whispered to a neighbour who shrugged. "No idea..." -You never believe who's playing and singing!- their heard from a mate in the bar. "Well?" -The king's favourite!- "That can't be, she's in the kings bedroom..." "Wait, should be 2..." "OH YEAH...twins so they say." -YUP, and cute, she's a good musician too, any one taping this?- "Dunno, ask Garbian. He always tapes stuff... yeah even the plonk-plonk junk. Idiot."
-SHUDDUP IDIOTS, YOUR YAPPING THROUGH THE MUSIC!" Garbian howled. "Yup, taping..." In his control room Garbian mused about managing this chick. Good sales...But then again, kings fav...err...nah.
***
Sakura played trance on and on. Knowing that the music had to go on without stopping. She was re-supplied with ale as soon as she waved. Saiyans were dancing still, and was getting crowded. Feeling happy behind the keys Sakura eyed the rocking crowd. They sure liked it...Windows were shattered, doors ripped from the hinges. On the street more and more Saiyans landed and after getting used to the odd music, danced with the horde. The more came, the quicker they danced with the others.
"Okay my warriors...this is called trance from where I come. I'll be amusing you tonight with more songs. Not made by me, but hell, send lawyers here and their dead eh?" all cheered, eager to blast some paper pushers. "Thought as much, well relax all your daily tensions...and chill...you could be dead tomorrow...think of nothing but the beat...and remember..." She didn't speak as she started a new beat with a mingled melody.
Bardock rested for a moment, leaning against a loudspeaker.
Isn't life wonderful
Sakura sung as she continued with Alex D'Elia vs Ebob Allstars, 'Isn't life wonderful'. Her voice timid and not even that hard but all Saiyans hollered 'YEAH.' Playing straight into the 4 am.
***
"Veg's...I told you to relax..." "Can't. Thinking of that Ice-cube." the king growled, as Diana walked over his back in a massage. It was the only way, she used her own weight to get the tension from his back and tried it before with her hands. They were very soar now. Besides, he didn't seem to care if she stood on him or not. She even mused about standing on his head. But didn't dare.
"So, why be bugged by that Ice-jin?" she asked carefully as she continued. "He is just that. Annoying bug." "Then blast him?" "Can't, he's stronger." "WHAT? He's stronger? No way!" "Way. He even helped us kill his own kid brother. Blaming us." she flopped beside him, glancing at him. "If you need someone to talk to...I can keep my mouth shut..." She told him caring. He eyed her then sighed. "I know."
"Then tell me? If you keep bottling things up, how can I help you then?" "Who ever asked you to...I understand though. It's like this. We are just being used by Coola and his father Cold to do they're dirty work. And until we have one warrior that is stronger then them? We're stuck. If we don't comply...I have seen both destroy many planets..."
"Vegeta...I think I know what you mean...if he can't use you anymore, he'll destroy the planet..." his sigh was her answer. "I try to get things to work best. And keep my people content, and keep Coola happy. Doesn't mean I like it." "Nope, it's written all over your face when he arrives."
"Can't help it, I detest the tyrant. He's worse that that Freeza was. We were better off then. This one works us like slaves. Disposable even. Go ahead and send second class warriors to a class five. Dead? Shame...NEXT." He frustrated growled.
"And when 'I' kill one for not finishing his tasks on time, and he sees it, he sneers that it wasn't that important!" getting worked up. He growled and snarled at bit at those stinking Ice-jin, before he turned into a clamp again.
'Finished?" "Yeah." he snarled. Not pissed at her but the rotten situation. "Let me think about this situation. We women are nastier then men as you told before. We work behind the scenes...And yes I will first talk to you before we'll do anything...now then...what about your stamina?" "My stamina?" "Uh-huh, bet I can last longer then you can." Diana teased. He laughed. "Indeed? Lets make a bet." "Depends on the bet..." He never allowed her to finish as he ravished her again. Massage, Ice-jin's...his people not in his mind any longer.
***
Slightly yawning Sakura stepped over a couple Saiyans in their drunken sleep. Some still dancing, amazing as she wasn't playing any longer. In fact...no music was playing...
"Are you going to dance all frigging night?" he mate growled, trying to yank him into a chair. "You bet! DANG-DANG-DANG! Brainwash yeah-yeah!" bemused Sakura walked over and stopped his wild arms. Blinking intoxicated he eyed her. Huh?
"Not brainwashed, trance." she stated. He nodded, bobbing his head. "Sure...what ever...trance...TRANCE!" And started dancing again. shrugging his mate and she left. "Try a frying pan." She suggested snickering as she walked out, stepping with care over Bardock, Celipa and Totopus, passed out. She suddenly stopped and eyed one particularly passed out Saiyan...oh shit...SHIT. And beside him...aw double shit. She struggled past the head bobbing Ishta who eyed her drink fascinated. Crunched before the slumped person and shook his shoulder.
"ZORN...ZORN WAKE UP! What the fuck are you doing here you idiot!" Zorn blinked, eyes blood shot. Couldn't focus on her at all. Damned cross-eyed Saiyan. And that called himself captain. "Zorn your sub-commander is laying beside you?" "So wot?" "Your shift begins in 2 and a half hours? So is his?" "So wot?" "You'll never be sober in time, nor is he?" "Oh-oh..." he laughed himself silly before hanging to her breasts. "I'm in trouble...nice trance...Here comes your warrior...." he murmured some notes before passing out again, hopeless.
"A drunken one...Shish...Well HEY SUB! Help a girl out!" "Donwanna...Zorn's never drunk...Zorn knows stuff..." "Uh huh! Like...the time...um...how latez it?" "4:10 am? Your shifts beginning in 2 hours and 20 minutes?" "Don't care, you do it." He ripped a badge off his suit and tucked it in her chest armour. "There, your Cappy for a day."
"A whole day? My feet already whine!" "Here comes your warrior...he's letting you know...solve the shit on your own..."Zorn smirked at his Lyrics and started to snore.
Sweat dropping she ran out and eyed the guards outside the palace, Nappa garbage. Damn...She bolted past them and grabbed two guards she recognised.
"You two, we have to save your captains rep, and his sub's. They're passed out in the 'Ice-cube'. Get them into infirmary and in the tubs to purge the alcohol quickest, and report on your scouter when you did." Just off duty they eyed her soar. They wanted a bed and a meal. But after she finished they gulped before running past her, to the gates. She Scratched her head.
Now what? Her hair...had to redo her hair Saiyan style again. and fake tail...AW SHIT. Why was she bailing him out? 'Because you hate Coola?' Yeah... 'Because you hate Nappa too and don't want that guy gloating over your first lover? And being good at it too?' Good enough...dye! She needed it! And that super glue! Snagging another guard just off duty she dug the badge from her armour and put it on her left chest. He gulped as he saw it.
"YOU, get me black hair dye with super hair Strengthener. Zorn's incapacitated. So is the sub-commander." he eyed the badge with big eyes. Then saluted. "Yes sir!" And bolted away. Great. Frigging great. Finally she was feeling tired, and now she had to last some more hours. Bet Diana was having more fun.
***
She felt exhausted. "I'm bushed...you win..." Smug the king pulled her against him as she yawned. "I knew I would. Now sleep." "You'll be tired..." she muttered already half asleep. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." "Kay...damn Saiyan DNA...quicker, stronger..." she muttered something and passed out.
***
Making herself at home in Zorn's room she scurried about and found reports on some. Goody. He did his homework! Names and punishments. Too easy. Great, then she wouldn't have to worry about that. Kakarott too? Why? She read on. He had tried to bed one of the harem girls? "Shame on you...no wonder you have throne room again. Naughty. Knowing him...he went all the way. Try? My cute hiny." It did tell her it was his first time. Still...two weeks of throne room...poor thing. Off course 5 others. Including...hehehehe...KIANDRA! DA WENCH! Oh she'd love this one. Under her name was, did not uphold promise and bailed after getting in trouble. YUP she totally agreed. Damned wench. She'd love every second. Ishta was off the hook, meaning, only one woman, 5 males. Darn. "Line up screwed...aw? Isn't there another girl?" she scanned through reports. Nope, nope, no...
The door bell chimed. "Enter." she muttered. "Good morning sir I came to bring the...who are you?" "A sub for Zorn and the sub. What is it?" "Err...reports of last night." eager she rose. "Give them, any girls in shit?" "Only girls. No idea what's up with the girls." "PMS.." she flopped them on the bed as he laughed and wanted to turn. "HOLD IT! I need some help."
"Yes sir." he stood before the bed as they sorted out the things done, and what the naughtiest girl was. "Reina it is. Hitting a superior..." Sakura tusked. "Now who's the lucky boy not to have to stand with me...Kakarott deserved his share...Tolan...food fight in two canteens...hmm..." she dropped one named Liad. He was small fry with his fondling of a female higher elite. Again the man wanted to leave. "Two more things. Hand Nappa's commander this note, and your name please?"
"Tran, sir." "Thanks Tran. Dismissed." This time the lines would NOT be screwed up. And Zorn would be so proud! Did hope he had a massive hangover. He deserved that.
***
6:00...Sakura walked to the king's bedroom and opened it. Without asking the guards allowed the wild manned black hared female, she wore the Armour of a Captain, the cloak as well. And had the attitude. Instead of shaking the king, Sakura crawled on the bed and tapped Diana awake.
"Huh? What?" "Shht. It's me, Sakura, wake up the king after I'm gone. It's 6 am." "Okay... why are you dressed like a captain? Where is Zorn?" "Passed out, sub too. I'm subbing for both." "Oh man...Okay scram." Sakura nodded and walked away
"And don't be concerned about Vegeta 2!" Diana whispered. "I'll wake him up too.' "Thanks...See yah." "Good luck..." worried Diana watched Sakura leave. She looked bushed. Things never went normal around her...shish. Lovingly she eyed the sleeping king. She had a grand night...Lets wake him up in a grand way. "She leaned over and gave him a French kiss. He sleepy returned it until fully awake he kissed her with passion. She pulled free. Allowed reluctantly by him.
"6 am my king." he groaned. "Hate time..." "Me too. Duty awaits for us all..." she thought back to her poor sis. Duty indeed...oh yeah, the prince. She woke him in the same way. Funny enough, both royal's in fine moods!
***
6:10.
Sakura stalked to the gathering room. Around her zoomed elite's past, late comers. "I saw you Taurus..." she warned. "No you didn't! I'm a figment of your imagination!" he ran past and into the hall. Sure...figment...she was tired...
"Ishta...last time." "Yes sir, I know sir, sorry sir!" "Move your tail already." "Yes sir!" Growls and snarls weren't that hard...and she was certain, this part of the job, Zorn adored.
"Martinez! LATE!" the elite stopped, turned and glanced at her. At her armour and gulped. "Yes sir!" "Your on report. Dismissed!" he bolted inside, inside she heard cursing after he found his place. He was the last. It was so still a needle could be dropped and heard. Without flinching she stalked past the rows and stood on the dais, turning to her papers.
"Okay, listen up, I'm tired, cranky and a bitch. I want this day to go smooth, understood? Attention! Row call!" She checked the first list. Ah? Kiandra present? Happy day. All were there. She called down names for separate duties. The halls they were send to guard. All sections called down. Being the inner halls of the Palace, and places where the king and prince resided most. Ones who's names were not given stayed. Behind each name a note if necessary about first second or third warnings. Like base ball, third strike OUT. She noted Martz late. Zorn would have fun tomorrow morning, he already had two. Throne duty for sure.
"Alright, those named, DISMISSED. Ones who weren't, happy day, you get to be a new ornaments in the throne room, all day long. Don't catch too much dust or the cleaners will have more work. MOVE!"
They walked away, she remembered things Zorn did well. Hell he screamed in her ear for goodness sake, that would get you on your toes. Calmly she listened to the reports coming in as all took position and relieved others from their duty. Counting the hallways she howled, STOP. Obediently and knowing the daily drill all stood in their line up. She inspected them, just before a second row was added. And happy day. They were as she wanted. Three men, and three women. So she faked his handwriting, and his name. But the note worked, and the threats. Hehehe. She walked around a gigantic Saiyan who stood as rigid as the others. Why did they have to be big, bigger, biggest? Wasn't medium enough?
She instantly spotted inconsistencies." She sneered at them. "Aw? Didn't mommy dress you good? FIX IT NOW! She paced around him, yanking his cape down and straight with her full body weight. Damned armours. And off course...Nappa's batch. Passed two then glared at the smaller female, finally someone her size. And lucky her, dress code screwed.
""Why are you warring pink shorts? Does any one here, ware pink shorts?" "Sir sorry sir! I was yanked out of bed SIR." "Do I care? NO. GET CHANGED NOW!" "YES SIR!" and she bolted away. Sakura shook her head. Imp. Of all colours...pink... The others were good. After some more cape tugs. She barked at Kakarott when he snickered at her tries in getting a cape good.
"Do you really want to ad a week to your two week holiday in the throne room?" she warned. "Sir, no sir!" "THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND WHERE THE HELL IS THAT WOMAN!" "Sir, HERE SIR." She panting ran over and stood in line again. this was giving Sakura a headache. Walking in front they marched behind her. All following her lead in steps.
She stopped them at the entrance. "A word of advice, when I see you dozing or sleeping when I'm the boss...your in deep shit. So deep you'd kiss the ground Zorn walks on, and wish for a year throne room instead of me..." She stated with her back turned to them.
"Okay kids. It's 6.58...ATTENTION!" All placing them where Zorn had placed them yesterday, Sakura took particular delight and bossing Kiandra around. Who didn't look so happy, after she was humiliated in front of everyone. And she didn't look too friendly to her either. Her prob.
"Are all Scouters set?" she barked. All said Yes sir, in choir. Content for the time being, Sakura stood on the dais and exactly like him as well. Her arms aside her frame, and her feet together. In came the king.
"Good morning Zo...huh?" She bowed as the king walked over and flopped in his throne. "What are you doing here? I like your new hair style, but you should be in bed." "I will soon sire. As soon as Zorn and his sub-commander arrive. They had an accident during free time last night. Until their return, I took over for him." The king noted the badge under the cape. Indeed? Well if Zorn handed her that...it should be alright. Besides, never had a female captain of the guards. Couldn't be discriminating now could he. Diana's orders. Smirking he settled in.
"Well captain, what's on the schedule?" The king asked bemused. "Three traitors, one farmer, and Coola at 10.40, sire." "Dammed...You just spoiled my morning. Damned Ice-jin. Nosy son of a bitch." "I could inform him you are otherwise occupied sire." "Yeah...nice idea...shame it can't work...something wrong with the line up..." He mused.
"Sire?" "Can't put my finger on it yet..." he walked down and past the stiff lined up Saiyans. Confused Sakura flanked his right side.
"Now I see it...females on both sides!" He turned pleased to Sakura. "You just made Zorn very proud. How did you do it?"
"A mere note sire. With some...kind words." "Ah, kind words here are curses or threats, we don't believe in kind words, nicely done." both returned up the dais and listened to the whimpering traitors, the farmer. And Lucky them...Coola. Who eyed Sakura confused, interested and in thought.
"Maybe I'll put a female in command as well." Sakura eyed Saucer who paled. And happy day Zorn arrived with his sub. Her eyes were a bit blurred. She did know, more heard her sister having arrived awhile back. The reports were buzzing in her ear and there was this zooming noise in her head that didn't stop.
"Greetings sire, Master Coola. Captain?" Sakura glanced up. Wot? Talking to me? Oh yeah! She bowed before the king before he dismissed her. Walking past the guards in the throne room, Zorn flanked her. They turned out of sight of the throne room where she at last allowed herself to collapse. Zorn caught her and daftly draped her in his arms.
"Good girl! You are busy!" "Bed..." "With your trance music, and your 'here comes your warrior, and your role- playing games..." "Bed..." "Yes I know. How long was it? 4 days?" "Bed..." "You saved my rep twice in 24 hours. I'll never hear the end of it, will I?" "Nope, bed..." he walked through the halls. Guards eyeing them as they passed. "DID I ASK YOU TO LOOK? Only thing you can do is count bricks!" all zipped their faces right again. All glad Zorn was back.
"What did you do to them? Threaten to kill them?" "Nope, used imagination...b" "Lemme guess...bed?" "Bed." "One more thing before you sleep. The lines...are right!" "Note, threats, works." "Thanks..." "Used your name...bad girl." "Nah. Only once." she struggled with something, stuffing his badge in his armour.
"Keep it." She sighed and fell asleep while he carried her. He should do something in return. AH he knew. After entering the room he walked with her into the bathroom. Ran a bath and washed the black stiff stuff from her hair. Washed her from top to bottom, before drying her. She asleep stood against him while he dried her off. And put her in a night gown. Tucked her in and hovered over her a bit. He gently kissed her forehead before leaving. Only half a day! Maybe he should ask her more often. Apart from that headache, he was fine. But who ordered him to keep the headache? Err...only one who could have ordered it. Sakura. Well he deserved it. And where was his scouter? Slapping his head he ran back to the room and bathroom and activated his on his ear. Reports streamed in.
"STOP GOSSIPING YOU OLD MAIDS!" he barked after well out of shouting range. He loved his job.
12. Midnight Rendez-vous
Diana on time walked through the hallway to the king's bedroom and waited patiently. She was nervous. What if something went wrong, what if she did something wrong? Would he blast her? Boom...away...bye-bye...She sighed miserable. If only he would come. She wouldn't have to worry so much if he did...
Voices coming closer, then the door opening. And in came a tired king. Nodded at her as he pulled off the armour and smacked it into a corner.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I was occupied." he muttered. "Understandable." Diana replied. Feeling butterflies in her stomach at the sight of his silhouette in the black suit. Wow...ever so nice...he said something, foggy Diana glanced up, come again? He smirked.
"I said, has Sakura woken yet?" "Oh...yes sire. But she's more tired then when she went to bed..." She snickered over her own joke. T'was true! Went to bed with her lover boy! And now again! Hehehe. Confused the king eyed her. She stopped slowly. Beaming up.
"To be honest...I was waiting for this...and now it's happening...I'm nervous." Diana admitted. Best to play it open and fair.
"Amusing. Most females flee if possible. As if I'm the boggy man or something." the king grinned. "Boggy man? Hardly." The king pulled his gloves out, first plucking each fingertip before draping them on a table. Diana wondered if they were soft. He wore them always...
"Have you dined yet?" He nodded. Walking up to her. She felt very small. Now what...come on Diana you're the smart mouth... "You do not have to be nervous..." He told her. "I forgot something..." Diana stammered suddenly. He blinked. "Which is?" "Precautions...err...you know..." she prayed he did. "Contraception?" she nodded meek. "Unless you wish more kids...fine by me..." He stroke her cheek. "You can go to sickbay tomorrow and take a pill. It will purge your system of any thing not supposed to be present."
"And what if I don't wanna?" she husky teased. Crossing her legs. The dress creeping higher. "You can't make me..." The king smirked dangerously as he still towered over her.
"Let me see...A woman who would disobey...I might let her carry full term...then shoot the child and her as she presents it. I might shoot her the moment I discover she is carrying...I might order an abortion..."
"I'm so scared...must be neat to have all that power..." Coyly diana sat back and dropped down on her back. Her arms tucked under her hair. Lewd she eyed him. "I was taught that such power...corrups...are you?" he grumbled bemused as he like a panther rested his right then his left arm beside her waist. The bed supporting both with ease.
"See me tremble? I'm such a terrified harem girl..." "I se you found your sharp tong once more..." "Near death experiences tend to spice up your life..." Diana snickered. "So I noticed..." diana felt his breath stir in her neck "Do you think you can take me this easily?" She smirked bemused as he for a moment eyed her confused, then a twinkle came into his eyes. Knowing...or hoping, he wouldn't kill her for it, she kicked his family jewels and crawled over the bed and under it.
"And remember Veg's...no cheating...no lifting up the bed..." Diana sung. Not even needing to recover as he hardly sensed it, he smirked. Games? Should have known she'd be a hard cookie. He liked it.
***
In the bedroom Sakura sighed. So bored alone she ran a bath and soaked in it. She was restless. And made a recap of today's activities. Her feet ached from standing all day. She still...how was it possible...hyper. Not too tired. Her hair finally freed from that super glue. Learned to have sex with a guy, who...incidentally was the captain of the royal guards...he was kinda royal. She was starving but too lazy to get out of her warm tub. What she needed was...ALE! Suddenly full of renewed energy she hopped out of the water, slid past the towels snagging one behind her and ran with wet feet into the room. She'd go to the bar! Again. Thinking up a new...better thought through scheme. MUCH better planned. Backfire 2 in one day? Nah.
***
Diana managed to dodge him often enough. Mainly because he let her. Until after a 10 minute game, he snagged her with his tail. Curled around her wrist he pulled her into his arms. Breathless because of his male scent, Diana glanced up. His well kept beard, short and refined, making her curious if it was just as stiff as his hair. Brave she reached up and stroke his jaw, starting from his left ear to his chin where she managed to feel the fine hairs. Bit hard, but not overly so. Only logical she suddenly thought. He could shave. Some Saiyans were clean faced, others had a long beard. Stupid. Should have known that by just looking. Without noticing the king had encircled her into his arms and his tail now around her waist. She snapped out of her dreaming, and back at the play at hand.
"So...do you know what you'll do with me, if I don't go tomorrow?" he leaned into her and started licking her neck.
"Nothing...but i urge you to re-consider...it is not a game...Vegeta will see the child as a potential rival to the throne...he'll kill him or her before it develops beyond his power..." "No way...not even a sweet little girl with tousles and pretty skirts?" "Woman...Saiyan girls are even nastier then boys." "Then why chose a boy for a throne, instead of a girl?" "Strength..."
"Women have brains...they follow they're intuition..." She mused as she faintly noticed she was being draped on the bed. "And men have totestron...And with my fathering skills...tactic, knowledge and brains..." "Ever heard of emancipation?" He grinned. "Oh, I have...and if i had spawned a girl as first child...she would be queen...fate decided otherwise." "Hmm...What if fates decides...you have to catch me again?" she leaned closer to his lips, noting his imbalance, threw him off and rolled away out of his grasp.
"As I said...female brains!" She chided and the game started again. ***
As she wanted to mix into the crowd she dressed into the stretch suit and armour again. This time shedding the cape. Remembering vaguely that Saiyans off duty shed them as well. She wondered about her fake tail...hmm... Nah. They knew her already. Grinning she put her drying hair in a bung and skipped with gloves (against ale spilling, sticky stuff y'know) and boots (Again...ground...ale?) They were disposable anyway. Only borrowed junk. Maybe she could nag 'Zorn' for new. Hell they were 'close' enough. Hehehe. She could count him into her, scheming buddies.
Humming she skipped through the hallways.
"Going to party eh?" A guard asked soar. Evening shift. She even had her green glassed shouter on. Just in case. It still was set to security channel. She was confused at that. Weren't they supposed to be scrambled.
-You never know what I'm hearing from the kings bedroom...- A male nearly hummed pleased. Interested she turned the volume up as he whispered real soft. On the other end three asked him 'what?'
-Well it sounds like...-
-WILL YOU SHUDDUP ABOUT THE KINGS ACTIVITIES!?- Zorn's voice cut through Sakura's skull and she dazed yanked the scouter off her ear. As she glanced up ten on each side of the wall's did exactly what she did and eyed their scouters weary as Zorn's voice howled through all 21 in the hallway. -IF I EVER GODDAMNED HEAR A HINT OF THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE KINGS NIGHTLY ACTIVITIES I'LL PERSONALLY DRAG YOUR REARS INTO THE THRONE ROOM AT 5 AM AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED WITHOUT BREAKS UNTIL 10 PM!-
"Wow...watch your blood pressure Zorn..." She muttered soar. Her ear still ringing. -SAKURA PUT THAT THING ON YOUR EAR IF YOUR LISTENING IN!- she smirked as the guards frowned. Oh dear... standing steady she positioned the thing before her lips.
"NOT IF YOUR BLOODY SCREAM THROUGH THE ETHER!" -I'LL DO WHATEVER I BLOODY WELL LIKE!- "WELL HOWL ON ANOTHER CHANNEL!" she retorted, humming as she strolled on. Great! Picking a fight long distance.
-SAKURA I HATE YOU AND I'M DRUNK!- she stopped drunk? And he was admitting it?
"Drowning in misery I bet." -NO, because this might be the last time in my life! Change the channel to a secured one!- "SURE, as if I knew HOW."
-RED BUTTON WOMAN! Explained that 2 times.- "Did not. Switching..." the line crackled before going dead silent. "Anybody out there?" -Off course I am!- Zorn hiccuped. Sakura snickered.
"Now, why would I tell any one what happened?" -Well because you told your dear sister who now is bedding the king?- he sounded very pitiful...towards himself.
"You disappoint me." she admitted. He was silent. In shock probably. "I can assure you Diana will not inform the king of anything I don't approve of." -Yeah, right, women are famous for yapping too much.-
"FINE BE THAT WAY." she cut the line. Damned self pitying idiot, and she slept with that? Turning back to main security channel she strolled on. Hoping he would drown in his ale. -To all you Nappa dimwits...I hate you all. I hate your colour scouter's, I hate the way you don't stand properly, I hate you cause your always late...and I hate you because...YOUR NAPPA'S MEN.- she sighed.
"Zorn?" -WHAT?- "SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOUR DRUNK." -I KNOW AND IT FEELS GREAT.- "What ever. Any one close to Zorn? Get his scouter away from him? Were all suffering needlessly." -I am...but ah...will I live?- she smiled as she recognised Kakarott. "Hi Kakarott! Sure, Zorn? If you hurt him, I'll go straight to the king and tell what happened...in detail." -NO YOU WON'T!-
"Oh you bet." -You want ME, captain of the royal guard, to hand a guard, a simple one at that, 'my' scouter?- "Yup. That sums it up. Either he does, or I'll come over. Understood?" she snarled warning. -As if 'I' scared of a woman. I'm more weary of your tong.- "Fine. Sec..."
She ran back to the kings guard before his door. "Say Baltor, mind me passing?" -Baltor? I posted him before...- "Sure miss." -AH NO! NO-NO-NO!- softer... -Here catch! What a snake!-
"Tell him I heard the snake bit..." Sakura sneered. -I don't think he will...he passed out just now...any orders commander Sakura?- she laughed. Coolies! Promoted!
"Take him to his bed to sleep it off. And after, have fun." -Yes SIR, I like that order.-
"Gives me an idea..." She mused. No one listened any more. She already had it on mute anyway. Scouters weren't hard to understand. Now if only she could get this number work in numeric...Now then...BARRR!!! She met up with Ishta, and Bardock whom she hadn't met yet.
"Wow, your finally walking on your own!" she chided. Hinting at the rumours and once seeing him being dragged down into the sickbay.
"Excuse you..." he growled, eyeing her over as if she were trash. She only found humour in it. She was being looked at...as trash!!! Celipa and Ishta kicked both his heels.
"Hey Cel!" Sakura wailed. Hugging the smirking Celipa. "Hi squirt." "WOMAN! I told you never to kick my heels again, your so dead!" "No you can't kill her. I forbid it." Sakura informed warning.
"Who are you, to forbid me anything? I can do what ever I please." "I am Zorn's substitute commander." "No way...did the king did that? You look weak and where the hell is your tail?" "Missing in action." She lied. The other girls giggling. SURE...ACTION!
"Ishta, Celipa...STOP THAT BRAYING!" they hopped in attention. Confused Bardock eyed them. Had they lost their minds...she was so...small...and...frail...and her hair was so lose...was she Saiyan?
"YES SIR! SORRY SIR!" "Much better." Glad the girls acted along Sakura lifted an eyebrow at Bardock who was at a loss to respond, who was she?
"Well team leader Bardock...I am WAITING? ATTENTION!" automatic the hall hopped in attention. Drilled into their skulls for years. Confused Bardock stood straighter with his arms smooth beside his frame. Only then did Sakura lose it and lay crying on the floor in glee. Feeling busted Bardock's mood worsened. About to kick her Celipa warned him not too.
"I wouldn't do that, she's one of the kings fav. girls." "That?" he pointed at the whimpering Sakura who only laughed more. "Yes. That." Ishta clarified smug. "And she and her sister like to play dress up...only a few times backfired Neh?" Ishta eyed Sakura smiling as she nodded and laughed more and more.
"Girl, stop that laughing, it's infectious. So on your way to the team bar?" Sakura weakly nodded. Ishta and Celipa pulled her up and supported her outside. Already forgetting the incident Bardock tagged along.
***
Once more Diana found herself on the bed, this time thrown into it. Bet he was getting inpatient... "Goody, I like to play rough!" she smirked as he stalked over her like a predator. "Are you ticklish?" she wondered sheepish. "No, and no more escapes...no more...games..."
"But I love games..." "I know, lets play a new..." with his teeth he unclasped her dress as his nose trailed down her bare back. His hands soon followed, down into the small of her back. "Your maybe not ticklish...but I sure am..." She weakly told. "Noted..."
"Yeah right.you're a user...that's why you're a king..." "You bet..." She was flopped over and lost sight of her dress and underwear. Quick hands... "Aw man...I wanted to strip...down the drain..." The king smirked as he nibbled her nipple. "Next time..." "Oh god..." the king snickered as he continued.
***
They all entered the 'Ice-picker' an old one, from before the Freeza era. She knew him to be a younger brother of Coola. But when she asked about why Coola was such 'good buddies' to them, none wanted to tell.
In to the smoky den they went. The alcohol smelled in the air enough to get you light headed. Sakura eyed the soggy ground. Ale...And some Saiyans were flat out and drenched...long live fun?
Soar she heard the drunk Saiyan on a sort of Keyboard. Okay, heard him playing last night too. Bye-bye. She stalked over as Celipa handed her some ale in a large can.
Bemused she noticed that the bloke eyed her with dazed eyes, she shoved him aside, with a thud he landed on his rear beside the stool. She made herself comfortably and eyed the many keys. Touched a few, changed the setting on it until he gave the right sounds. To get them awake she threw a full minute of trance beat at them. Oh she got their attention alright. She smirked as she started playing the intro of her near fav song. In search of sunrise Re-mix by DJ Tiesto, sung by Sarah McLachlan.
Starting to mix sounds, sometimes screwing up but rearranging as if they were part of the song she found the correct way and smirked as she started sing the Lyrics while focussed on the keys. Synthesiser class paid off. She in a smooth motion activated her scouter and allowed the guards to listen in. Smirking she heard they talking subside and silence greeted her ear. Pleased they liked it she hit the record button by accident, obliviously continuing with mixes and the grand finale, the intermission. She used the long version of the song. Glad she already heard it a zillion times before. She remembered nearly every note.
The Saiyans coming from their first shock or culture clash glanced up. No more plink-plonk or that bass? No, this actually had melody and rhythm...and...actually...rocked! And with this beat, you could time your slam in someone's face good while drunk. One by one they started jumping up and down and going wild. Not that hard, they were Saiyans. Sakura eyed her can shaking under the tons of feet crashing down, not nearly synchronised either. Then again...they weren't used much. She didn't even know enough about them to know if they had songs of their own, and music.
Smoothly she moved into the song Warrior, a club mix by Stacy Harmer
Here comes your warrior... He's letting you know, your sun will come shining now your sun will come shining
Smirking she saw Celipa and Ishta looking at her stunned. Then freaking in musical bliss as they pulled two Saiyan blokes over and danced with them.
Here comes your warrior... He's letting you know, your sun will come shining now He's come to embrace you...
She repeated the Lyrics twice before intermission. And played her heart out. Fun thing with re-mixes, you could do it your own way. And no lawyer about copyrights would bug her here.
***
In the kings bedroom Diana was dying. Not normally no, in total bliss...he was fabulous...made in heaven, or hell but so pleasing...Forged in hell...yeah...So?
In the hallways of the palace all guards blinked as they heard the alien music reach their before tortured ears. Even though the beat would hurt with a headache, it wasn't half bad to listen to it. Not at all...
"Who is this band?" One whispered to a neighbour who shrugged. "No idea..." -You never believe who's playing and singing!- their heard from a mate in the bar. "Well?" -The king's favourite!- "That can't be, she's in the kings bedroom..." "Wait, should be 2..." "OH YEAH...twins so they say." -YUP, and cute, she's a good musician too, any one taping this?- "Dunno, ask Garbian. He always tapes stuff... yeah even the plonk-plonk junk. Idiot."
-SHUDDUP IDIOTS, YOUR YAPPING THROUGH THE MUSIC!" Garbian howled. "Yup, taping..." In his control room Garbian mused about managing this chick. Good sales...But then again, kings fav...err...nah.
***
Sakura played trance on and on. Knowing that the music had to go on without stopping. She was re-supplied with ale as soon as she waved. Saiyans were dancing still, and was getting crowded. Feeling happy behind the keys Sakura eyed the rocking crowd. They sure liked it...Windows were shattered, doors ripped from the hinges. On the street more and more Saiyans landed and after getting used to the odd music, danced with the horde. The more came, the quicker they danced with the others.
"Okay my warriors...this is called trance from where I come. I'll be amusing you tonight with more songs. Not made by me, but hell, send lawyers here and their dead eh?" all cheered, eager to blast some paper pushers. "Thought as much, well relax all your daily tensions...and chill...you could be dead tomorrow...think of nothing but the beat...and remember..." She didn't speak as she started a new beat with a mingled melody.
Bardock rested for a moment, leaning against a loudspeaker.
Isn't life wonderful
Sakura sung as she continued with Alex D'Elia vs Ebob Allstars, 'Isn't life wonderful'. Her voice timid and not even that hard but all Saiyans hollered 'YEAH.' Playing straight into the 4 am.
***
"Veg's...I told you to relax..." "Can't. Thinking of that Ice-cube." the king growled, as Diana walked over his back in a massage. It was the only way, she used her own weight to get the tension from his back and tried it before with her hands. They were very soar now. Besides, he didn't seem to care if she stood on him or not. She even mused about standing on his head. But didn't dare.
"So, why be bugged by that Ice-jin?" she asked carefully as she continued. "He is just that. Annoying bug." "Then blast him?" "Can't, he's stronger." "WHAT? He's stronger? No way!" "Way. He even helped us kill his own kid brother. Blaming us." she flopped beside him, glancing at him. "If you need someone to talk to...I can keep my mouth shut..." She told him caring. He eyed her then sighed. "I know."
"Then tell me? If you keep bottling things up, how can I help you then?" "Who ever asked you to...I understand though. It's like this. We are just being used by Coola and his father Cold to do they're dirty work. And until we have one warrior that is stronger then them? We're stuck. If we don't comply...I have seen both destroy many planets..."
"Vegeta...I think I know what you mean...if he can't use you anymore, he'll destroy the planet..." his sigh was her answer. "I try to get things to work best. And keep my people content, and keep Coola happy. Doesn't mean I like it." "Nope, it's written all over your face when he arrives."
"Can't help it, I detest the tyrant. He's worse that that Freeza was. We were better off then. This one works us like slaves. Disposable even. Go ahead and send second class warriors to a class five. Dead? Shame...NEXT." He frustrated growled.
"And when 'I' kill one for not finishing his tasks on time, and he sees it, he sneers that it wasn't that important!" getting worked up. He growled and snarled at bit at those stinking Ice-jin, before he turned into a clamp again.
'Finished?" "Yeah." he snarled. Not pissed at her but the rotten situation. "Let me think about this situation. We women are nastier then men as you told before. We work behind the scenes...And yes I will first talk to you before we'll do anything...now then...what about your stamina?" "My stamina?" "Uh-huh, bet I can last longer then you can." Diana teased. He laughed. "Indeed? Lets make a bet." "Depends on the bet..." He never allowed her to finish as he ravished her again. Massage, Ice-jin's...his people not in his mind any longer.
***
Slightly yawning Sakura stepped over a couple Saiyans in their drunken sleep. Some still dancing, amazing as she wasn't playing any longer. In fact...no music was playing...
"Are you going to dance all frigging night?" he mate growled, trying to yank him into a chair. "You bet! DANG-DANG-DANG! Brainwash yeah-yeah!" bemused Sakura walked over and stopped his wild arms. Blinking intoxicated he eyed her. Huh?
"Not brainwashed, trance." she stated. He nodded, bobbing his head. "Sure...what ever...trance...TRANCE!" And started dancing again. shrugging his mate and she left. "Try a frying pan." She suggested snickering as she walked out, stepping with care over Bardock, Celipa and Totopus, passed out. She suddenly stopped and eyed one particularly passed out Saiyan...oh shit...SHIT. And beside him...aw double shit. She struggled past the head bobbing Ishta who eyed her drink fascinated. Crunched before the slumped person and shook his shoulder.
"ZORN...ZORN WAKE UP! What the fuck are you doing here you idiot!" Zorn blinked, eyes blood shot. Couldn't focus on her at all. Damned cross-eyed Saiyan. And that called himself captain. "Zorn your sub-commander is laying beside you?" "So wot?" "Your shift begins in 2 and a half hours? So is his?" "So wot?" "You'll never be sober in time, nor is he?" "Oh-oh..." he laughed himself silly before hanging to her breasts. "I'm in trouble...nice trance...Here comes your warrior...." he murmured some notes before passing out again, hopeless.
"A drunken one...Shish...Well HEY SUB! Help a girl out!" "Donwanna...Zorn's never drunk...Zorn knows stuff..." "Uh huh! Like...the time...um...how latez it?" "4:10 am? Your shifts beginning in 2 hours and 20 minutes?" "Don't care, you do it." He ripped a badge off his suit and tucked it in her chest armour. "There, your Cappy for a day."
"A whole day? My feet already whine!" "Here comes your warrior...he's letting you know...solve the shit on your own..."Zorn smirked at his Lyrics and started to snore.
Sweat dropping she ran out and eyed the guards outside the palace, Nappa garbage. Damn...She bolted past them and grabbed two guards she recognised.
"You two, we have to save your captains rep, and his sub's. They're passed out in the 'Ice-cube'. Get them into infirmary and in the tubs to purge the alcohol quickest, and report on your scouter when you did." Just off duty they eyed her soar. They wanted a bed and a meal. But after she finished they gulped before running past her, to the gates. She Scratched her head.
Now what? Her hair...had to redo her hair Saiyan style again. and fake tail...AW SHIT. Why was she bailing him out? 'Because you hate Coola?' Yeah... 'Because you hate Nappa too and don't want that guy gloating over your first lover? And being good at it too?' Good enough...dye! She needed it! And that super glue! Snagging another guard just off duty she dug the badge from her armour and put it on her left chest. He gulped as he saw it.
"YOU, get me black hair dye with super hair Strengthener. Zorn's incapacitated. So is the sub-commander." he eyed the badge with big eyes. Then saluted. "Yes sir!" And bolted away. Great. Frigging great. Finally she was feeling tired, and now she had to last some more hours. Bet Diana was having more fun.
***
She felt exhausted. "I'm bushed...you win..." Smug the king pulled her against him as she yawned. "I knew I would. Now sleep." "You'll be tired..." she muttered already half asleep. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." "Kay...damn Saiyan DNA...quicker, stronger..." she muttered something and passed out.
***
Making herself at home in Zorn's room she scurried about and found reports on some. Goody. He did his homework! Names and punishments. Too easy. Great, then she wouldn't have to worry about that. Kakarott too? Why? She read on. He had tried to bed one of the harem girls? "Shame on you...no wonder you have throne room again. Naughty. Knowing him...he went all the way. Try? My cute hiny." It did tell her it was his first time. Still...two weeks of throne room...poor thing. Off course 5 others. Including...hehehehe...KIANDRA! DA WENCH! Oh she'd love this one. Under her name was, did not uphold promise and bailed after getting in trouble. YUP she totally agreed. Damned wench. She'd love every second. Ishta was off the hook, meaning, only one woman, 5 males. Darn. "Line up screwed...aw? Isn't there another girl?" she scanned through reports. Nope, nope, no...
The door bell chimed. "Enter." she muttered. "Good morning sir I came to bring the...who are you?" "A sub for Zorn and the sub. What is it?" "Err...reports of last night." eager she rose. "Give them, any girls in shit?" "Only girls. No idea what's up with the girls." "PMS.." she flopped them on the bed as he laughed and wanted to turn. "HOLD IT! I need some help."
"Yes sir." he stood before the bed as they sorted out the things done, and what the naughtiest girl was. "Reina it is. Hitting a superior..." Sakura tusked. "Now who's the lucky boy not to have to stand with me...Kakarott deserved his share...Tolan...food fight in two canteens...hmm..." she dropped one named Liad. He was small fry with his fondling of a female higher elite. Again the man wanted to leave. "Two more things. Hand Nappa's commander this note, and your name please?"
"Tran, sir." "Thanks Tran. Dismissed." This time the lines would NOT be screwed up. And Zorn would be so proud! Did hope he had a massive hangover. He deserved that.

6:00...Sakura walked to the king's bedroom and opened it. Without asking the guards allowed the wild manned black hared female, she wore the Armour of a Captain, the cloak as well. And had the attitude. Instead of shaking the king, Sakura crawled on the bed and tapped Diana awake.
"Huh? What?" "Shht. It's me, Sakura, wake up the king after I'm gone. It's 6 am." "Okay... why are you dressed like a captain? Where is Zorn?" "Passed out, sub too. I'm subbing for both." "Oh man...Okay scram." Sakura nodded and walked away
"And don't be concerned about Vegeta 2!" Diana whispered. "I'll wake him up too.' "Thanks...See yah." "Good luck..." worried Diana watched Sakura leave. She looked bushed. Things never went normal around her...shish. Lovingly she eyed the sleeping king. She had a grand night...Lets wake him up in a grand way. "She leaned over and gave him a French kiss. He sleepy returned it until fully awake he kissed her with passion. She pulled free. Allowed reluctantly by him.
"6 am my king." he groaned. "Hate time..." "Me too. Duty awaits for us all..." she thought back to her poor sis. Duty indeed...oh yeah, the prince. She woke him in the same way. Funny enough, both royal's in fine moods!

6:10.
Sakura stalked to the gathering room. Around her zoomed elite's past, late comers. "I saw you Taurus..." she warned. "No you didn't! I'm a figment of your imagination!" he ran past and into the hall. Sure...figment...she was tired...
"Ishta...last time." "Yes sir, I know sir, sorry sir!" "Move your tail already." "Yes sir!" Growls and snarls weren't that hard...and she was certain, this part of the job, Zorn adored.
"Martinez! LATE!" the elite stopped, turned and glanced at her. At her armour and gulped. "Yes sir!" "Your on report. Dismissed!" he bolted inside, inside she heard cursing after he found his place. He was the last. It was so still a needle could be dropped and heard. Without flinching she stalked past the rows and stood on the dais, turning to her papers.
"Okay, listen up, I'm tired, cranky and a bitch. I want this day to go smooth, understood? Attention! Row call!" She checked the first list. Ah? Kiandra present? Happy day. All were there. She called down names for separate duties. The halls they were send to guard. All sections called down. Being the inner halls of the Palace, and places where the king and prince resided most. Ones who's names were not given stayed. Behind each name a note if necessary about first second or third warnings. Like base ball, third strike OUT. She noted Martz late. Zorn would have fun tomorrow morning, he already had two. Throne duty for sure.
"Alright, those named, DISMISSED. Ones who weren't, happy day, you get to be a new ornaments in the throne room, all day long. Don't catch too much dust or the cleaners will have more work. MOVE!"
They walked away, she remembered things Zorn did well. Hell he screamed in her ear for goodness sake, that would get you on your toes. Calmly she listened to the reports coming in as all took position and relieved others from their duty. Counting the hallways she howled, STOP. Obediently and knowing the daily drill all stood in their line up. She inspected them, just before a second row was added. And happy day. They were as she wanted. Three men, and three women. So she faked his handwriting, and his name. But the note worked, and the threats. Hehehe. She walked around a gigantic Saiyan who stood as rigid as the others. Why did they have to be big, bigger, biggest? Wasn't medium enough?
She instantly spotted inconsistencies." She sneered at them. "Aw? Didn't mommy dress you good? FIX IT NOW! She paced around him, yanking his cape down and straight with her full body weight. Damned armours. And off course...Nappa's batch. Passed two then glared at the smaller female, finally someone her size. And lucky her, dress code screwed.
""Why are you warring pink shorts? Does any one here, ware pink shorts?" "Sir sorry sir! I was yanked out of bed SIR." "Do I care? NO. GET CHANGED NOW!" "YES SIR!" and she bolted away. Sakura shook her head. Imp. Of all colours...pink... The others were good. After some more cape tugs. She barked at Kakarott when he snickered at her tries in getting a cape good.
"Do you really want to ad a week to your two week holiday in the throne room?" she warned. "Sir, no sir!" "THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND WHERE THE HELL IS THAT WOMAN!" "Sir, HERE SIR." She panting ran over and stood in line again. this was giving Sakura a headache. Walking in front they marched behind her. All following her lead in steps.
She stopped them at the entrance. "A word of advice, when I see you dozing or sleeping when I'm the boss...your in deep shit. So deep you'd kiss the ground Zorn walks on, and wish for a year throne room instead of me..." She stated with her back turned to them.
"Okay kids. It's 6.58...ATTENTION!" All placing them where Zorn had placed them yesterday, Sakura took particular delight and bossing Kiandra around. Who didn't look so happy, after she was humiliated in front of everyone. And she didn't look too friendly to her either. Her prob.
"Are all Scouters set?" she barked. All said Yes sir, in choir. Content for the time being, Sakura stood on the dais and exactly like him as well. Her arms aside her frame, and her feet together. In came the king.
"Good morning Zo...huh?" She bowed as the king walked over and flopped in his throne. "What are you doing here? I like your new hair style, but you should be in bed." "I will soon sire. As soon as Zorn and his sub-commander arrive. They had an accident during free time last night. Until their return, I took over for him." The king noted the badge under the cape. Indeed? Well if Zorn handed her that...it should be alright. Besides, never had a female captain of the guards. Couldn't be discriminating now could he. Diana's orders. Smirking he settled in.
"Well captain, what's on the schedule?" The king asked bemused. "Three traitors, one farmer, and Coola at 10.40, sire." "Dammed...You just spoiled my morning. Damned Ice-jin. Nosy son of a bitch." "I could inform him you are otherwise occupied sire." "Yeah...nice idea...shame it can't work...something wrong with the line up..." He mused.
"Sire?" "Can't put my finger on it yet..." he walked down and past the stiff lined up Saiyans. Confused Sakura flanked his right side.
"Now I see it...females on both sides!" He turned pleased to Sakura. "You just made Zorn very proud. How did you do it?"
"A mere note sire. With some...kind words." "Ah, kind words here are curses or threats, we don't believe in kind words, nicely done." both returned up the dais and listened to the whimpering traitors, the farmer. And Lucky them...Coola. Who eyed Sakura confused, interested and in thought.
"Maybe I'll put a female in command as well." Sakura eyed Saucer who paled. And happy day Zorn arrived with his sub. Her eyes were a bit blurred. She did know, more heard her sister having arrived awhile back. The reports were buzzing in her ear and there was this zooming noise in her head that didn't stop.
"Greetings sire, Master Coola. Captain?" Sakura glanced up. Wot? Talking to me? Oh yeah! She bowed before the king before he dismissed her. Walking past the guards in the throne room, Zorn flanked her. They turned out of sight of the throne room where she at last allowed herself to collapse. Zorn caught her and daftly draped her in his arms.
"Good girl! You are busy!" "Bed..." "With your trance music, and your 'here comes your warrior, and your role- playing games..." "Bed..." "Yes I know. How long was it? 4 days?" "Bed..." "You saved my rep twice in 24 hours. I'll never hear the end of it, will I?" "Nope, bed..." he walked through the halls. Guards eyeing them as they passed. "DID I ASK YOU TO LOOK? Only thing you can do is count bricks!" all zipped their faces right again. All glad Zorn was back.
"What did you do to them? Threaten to kill them?" "Nope, used imagination...b" "Lemme guess...bed?" "Bed." "One more thing before you sleep. The lines...are right!" "Note, threats, works." "Thanks..." "Used your name...bad girl." "Nah. Only once." she struggled with something, stuffing his badge in his armour.
"Keep it." She sighed and fell asleep while he carried her. He should do something in return. AH he knew. After entering the room he walked with her into the bathroom. Ran a bath and washed the black stiff stuff from her hair. Washed her from top to bottom, before drying her. She asleep stood against him while he dried her off. And put her in a night gown. Tucked her in and hovered over her a bit. He gently kissed her forehead before leaving. Only half a day! Maybe he should ask her more often. Apart from that headache, he was fine. But who ordered him to keep the headache? Err...only one who could have ordered it. Sakura. Well he deserved it. And where was his scouter? Slapping his head he ran back to the room and bathroom and activated his on his ear. Reports streamed in.
"STOP GOSSIPING YOU OLD MAIDS!" he barked after well out of shouting range. He loved his job.
