24. Bells will be ringing


The king yawned and glanced at the warm body against him. Ah good old days. He then glanced up at Zorn who yawned after waking him. It was on 05.00. All because of the wedding at noon. His father never informed him he had to get up this early. No the groom had slept in. Fond he untangled Sakura's hair who decided to ignore his attempts to wake her up. Snuggling closer instead.

"Leave her highness. We have many things to work through." Zorn whispered. The king nodded, gently shoving her off. Zorn walked outside as he dressed in his Gala uniform. Same as his usual. Only this one was lined with gold, real gold. His blue cape lined with gold as well. His brat would be in red-silver, so would his mate. He shifted it a bit before pulling on his boots and gloves. Both spotless white. And underneath his trusty black suit. Smug he walked out. Sakura yawned as she eyed the room through half open eyes. Men...she was so soar... Hadn't made love to a Saiyan for a month...4 on one night...would kill her...

Energetic Diana rose and poked Vegeta.
"Wake up!" she exclaimed. He grunted.
"What is the time..."
"7.30!"
"Already?" Diana nodded and took off with blanket and all. Leaving Vegeta rather...exposed.

"WOMAN! Don't do that!" Enveloped in the sheets and blankets she smirked at him.
"Stop whining. I just did." smug she stuck her tong out and bolted into the bathroom. Locking the fixed door.
"You better open that door Onna!" Vegeta warned smirking. She knew darn well he showered each morning.

"Oh, we are SO scared! We are so trembling!" He sighed. Her newest thing. Speaking for her and the child.
"I know your not. Open the door or I'll break it again."
"On one condition!" she chided back.
"Which is?"
"We shower, all three at once." He smirked.
"Bit cramped Onna!"
"But possible! The little one is still compact!" snickering the prince agreed and was let in. Water soaked them both as he washed her, and she him.

Sakura decided to get dressed in a dress found over a chair around 9 am. Putting her hair up neatly she also discovered a diadem. AW he shouldn't have. Instantly it was tucked on her head. Hehehe. Finders keepers... A scream echoed in the hall. Sakura recognising Diana's wail bolted out of the door. Not even noting the door nearly smacking into a guard posted there. Used to it he caught it and closed it. She stormed into the opposite door and glanced at Diana.

What's wrong?"
"The Chibi....my dress don't fit!" she sobbed. Frowning Sakura knelt beside her and checked out the needle work. AH! Smirking she found a knife. Bugging a guard...and turned the dress inside out as Diana eyed her whimpering. Her dress...

"Stupid mistake actually. Must have kept my breath or something." she whined.
"Oh shush." Sakura told her. Diana eyed her sister.
"What happened last night?" she asked as if she had no clue. Sakura flushed as she worked on the fine threads.

"Nothing much..."
"BITCH, tel me now or I'll tell the king." Sakura eyed her glassy.
"You wouldn't...blackmailing your own sister?"
"Your right." Diana mused. "I wouldn't! So happy your back!" Sakura was hugged while she fought to keep the dress intact.
WOW...watch your love display luv, I might hit your dress the wrong way. Now sit down and I'll tell." patiently Diana flopped before her with cross-legged feet. Sakura's eyes flashed from the dress to Diana.

"Well, I first entered Kakarott's place. Only I picked the wrong room."
"But he lives with his d....no..." Sakura nodded.
"Yes, he's smart. Nappa I could sent to bed after a blooper of mixing up rooms, telling he was asleep, and sleep walking. Bardock was too smart. Only way out, was his bed." eager Diana clasped her hands. They snagged Bardock!

"And?"
"I found Kakarott. Wasn't too happy with me. I'd get in trouble.' he said. True. I won." Diana giggled on the floor. "And then?" Sakura sighed as she eyed her.

"I wondered if I should find Taurus, cause I was tired. I did. And I was his mentror."
"Good girl! Just a question, can we blackmail him with it or not?"
"Nope. He's off the list. For now. Might have to snag him another time." Content Sakura held out the loser dress.
"So, interesting evening?"

"Hell, yeah, I then must have sleepwalked to Vegeta. Boy I thought I would die."
"NO.." Diana clasped her shoulders. "I thought the last 2 times were Vegeta..." stunned Sakura glanced up.
"Last 2 times...you felt?"
"Yeah, well, Vegeta wondered about my potency, I was bushed."

"This connection is rather revealing eh?" Sakura mused as she helped Diana dress.
"Kind of. Didn't hear Vegeta moan about it though." They giggled.
"The king must have been surprised I whined about a headache!" They laughed together.

Some one knocked on the door. Shooing Diana out of sight Sakura opened and eyed the guard with box.
"Delivery for lady Diana."
I'll take it. Thanks!"
"Lady Sakura...glad to have you back!" he grinned as she smiled sweetly. Glanced right, glanced left. Yanked him down and kissed his nose.
"Glad to be back sweety." Snagged the box and threw the door shut again.
"You have mail..." Sakura hummed bemused.
"As long as it's not e-mail junk...hehehehe."
"You wish. Nope, it's a package. With a ribbon!" Happily Diana walked over and pulled it lose. Opened it and gasped. A small feminine crown. Prettier then Sakura's diadem!

In another room the prince sulked. His father pulled the armour over his head. Soar Vegeta sighed as his father tucked it down his torso, as if he were an infant. Then he was whirled around and a 2 metre long red cape was attached. On it in silver the royal crest.

"Father, what am I doing with this junk?" he snarled. The king whacked him on the head.
"Shuddup brat, I wore this once." soar Vegeta allowed him to pull and yank and do stuff to correct things. Content the king eyed him over. From right to left under his arm a sash which was red with silver lines.

"You look good enough. Now then." the king bend and opened a box before placing it on a cabinet. Taking the artifact with him to Vegeta. Who cringed.

"AW FATHER! I so will NOT ware that!" Without any words the king pulled it over his son's head after smacking his head again.
"Bare the burden of being a prince brat. You got away with it too long already." Soar Vegeta wanted to yell at his father that he wasn't even waring his own when the king already put his gold crown on. It was bigger and stuff. Vegeta sagged. Hopeless.

"In care you are wondering brat, I'm not waring this all the time because it's not practical." He tapped the ring around his right upper arm. Gold. "This is. Especially during fights." Vegeta eyed the silver ring presented to him.

"Go on, WARE IT!" two black eyes fired up against the other. Meekly Vegeta complied. Humping in the process. Shit. This sucked. "I won't give you any more slack. As of now you will do everything I do." Vegeta whined. Paper work? Days sitting on that dull dais? The king already pictured it before him.

"It will be perfect. You'll take over a couple of days so I have some free time." Vegeta was far from thrilled.
"I'd rather get married everyday then do that..." he grumbled. The king ignored him completely. Still in his fantasy world of free days, spare time...

Zorn entered the girls room. Sweating like hell. He ran all over the palace!

"Are you two ready?" he asked. Hopeful. Sakura closed the door behind him and smirked up dangerously. Diana smirked equally dark. Oh shit, now what. He didn't have time for this.
"Come on, spit it out, I have to go to three other locations before noon. And I have to arrange things for tonight." Sakura shoved him into the bathroom.

"Wash up, your all sweaty."
"I don't have time!" he whined. Sakura and Diana both in dressing gowns nodded and tossed them off, in their underwear, they grabbed soap and a brush and threw him into a bath. Stripped of his clothes he was dunked under and his hair washed forcefully. Sakura yanking out his unwilling feet and scrubbed them. Shocked Zorn tried to fight them off. But he was as slipperily as an eel. Winching he smelled the bubbles. Aw come on, girl stuff? He'd smell like a flower all day!
"No one comes at my wedding all sweaty and dirty." Diana informed and dunked him under again. Both worked like an automated laundry machine. Sakura stopped.

"Oh dear." Zorn resurfaced and spat out soap.
"You, you oath, you soaked my clothes." He muttered as Diane scrubbed his hair.
"Now captain, don't be so grouchy, it's my weddings day." Soar Zorn eyed her then sighed. This was nice. Here he was. Captain of the royal guard of Vegeta-sei...over powered by two weak females.

"Sis? Blow dryer?" Sakura eyed her. Hmm.
"Maybe. I could...AH." she left momentarily, taking his clothes along and smirked.
"Send them to the dryers. Should be back in 10 minutes. Nuff time to scrub you from top to bottom.
"I'm quite clean, thank you very much! I could however tell you what to expect and do Diana." Smirking Sakura moved her brush to his pelvis. He yelped and snagged the object.

"Sakura enough!" he eyed her warning. At first she wanted to push on, then stopped. Shrugged and walked away. Dumping a towel over his head.

"What ever, and please. DON'T thank us." he growled. Acting all hurt are we? Shish. Females.
"Both of you...thank you..." he managed. Hated those words. Grr. "I didn't notice I was smelling, after running up and down the palace since 5 AM!" two innocents faces blinked back through the door frame. He sighed. Who could refuse such faces anything. "You two, are so cruel and nasty, with your pretty brown eyes and sweet faces. Black souls I'll say." they snickered nasty.

"Well, comes with the genes." Diana chided.
"It runs in the family." Sakura added smug.
"I so do not wish to meet your family." Zorn moaned. And sunk back in the tub.

***

Too much...definitely too much! RED that was...Vegeta eyed around, and round. TOO BLOODY MUCH! This would haunt him, he was fairly sure it would. Red, all red...AH. The king sat smug in his throne. Only a couple of things to arrange before the wedding. Three traitors actually. Aiming to not hit the flammable red drapes he blasted them away. And over his son's head who seemed in shock over the red overload.

"Father, do you mind? I'm waring that stinking crown!"
"I know." the king stated coyly. "I aimed higher." He added. The prince snorted. Sure... the time neared and no sign of Zorn. Zorn zoomed across the throne room, barking at some guards. The king called him over and sniffed the air. Huh?

"Since when do you smell like wild flowers?" Soar Zorn hung his head. Vegeta laughed. The girls! OH GOD they were back together alright. They had guts, assaulting a captain!

"Err, I was informed to take a bath."
Let me guess..." the king mused. "They assisted?"
"Never have I seen any one wield a scrubbing brush that skilled. And my scalp still is soar." he muttered.
"Did you say, you were planning to wash up before' the marriage?" Zorn eyed him.
"Didn't have time. They attacked before I could explain." The two Vegeta's laughed at Zorn's expense who excused himself and started crisscrossing the palace again.

Zorn shuddered before a specific door. The horror...opened it and glanced at Nappa who was reading the marriage manual...still? He had 14 days time, and only now he read it? Pea brain.

"Done commander?" he muttered. Nappa glanced up.
"NO, this is tough stuff!" he growled back. scratching his bald head. Zorn sighed.
"It's very easy, you have to get your men and women standing straight alongside the hallways throughout the palace. In gala' uniform. Don't forget the uniforms..." He nodded absently. Sighing once more, Zorn wrote it down and shoved it under his nose.
"Follow this." Nappa glanced up.
"What ever." Never would he thank him. And Zorn would die before thanking him. They hated each others guts. Zorn whirled around and stalked out again. This would be screwed up, he knew it... And so, before telling the king all was prepared, he zoomed through the halls, correcting and scolding Nappa's army if needed. He would be happy when all this was over. He felt near a breakdown. And then tonight...woe him.

Zorn's men were good trained and knowing the stress on their Captain helped him correcting the stance of the men.

Bardock stood in the streets with his team lined up beside him. All teams were called back to the planet and now lined the streets in attention. The main streets all were now guarded. And Bardock had to admit, looked kinda cool. His brat was in the palace, his first born at his side. His nephew, no clue. Palace probably. As he closed his eyes a smirk formed on his lips. Grand night. That had NOT been an illusion. Nope, he could smell her still on the sheet.

Nappa flew with his sub commanders over the streets, barking at some just standing about talking to others. He would show that stupid ass of a Zorn he could command just as well as he could. Celipa eyed Bardock bemused.

"Gotten lucky last night ne?" Bardock nodded absently.
"Celipa, you have NO idea..."

***

In the palace Taurus and Kakarott stood beside the other. Each with his own thoughts. Taurus stood more steadily then before. More confident.

"What are you so smug about Kakarott?!" Zorn barked. Taurus snapped from his lingering and stood attention, while his eyes darted to Kakarott who, indeed had smirked smug.
"This fine day sir." Kakarott replied. Zorn leaned into his face. Kakarott wasn't intimidated.

"You had a bedmate..." Kakarott nodded. "Good one?" Again he nodded. His smirk widening.
"Actually sir, you should know." Zorn blinked. Huh? Know what? Her? He wondered about his sometimes bed mate. Nah.
"Did you bed one of your own squad?!" he warned.
"No sir." Zorn eyed him clueless. Bold Kakarott handed him another hint.
"Sir, she made love to me, like no one born on this planet could." Zorn sweat dropped. Aw shit...

"Should have locked all windows..." He muttered. Smacked Kakarott's head.
"Now she definitely has enough ammo you fool! Taurus?" Taurus glanced up. Then shook his head quickly. He lied...err...so?

"Good, your in the clear still. Shame on you Kakarott. I thought better of you!" smug still Kakarott eyed him.
"I only bedded her once SIR." It was rewarded with a punch in the face.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP Kakarott. I don't have time for this shit." And stalked troubled away. First night on the planet and she already ensnared more of his men. Where would it end. He stopped. Oh god, and she woke at the kings bed...AW SHIT! More info then requested...she should be dead or something. 2 Saiyan lovers in one night?

Shaking his head he walked back through the palace to vetch Sakura and Diana who hopefully' were finished. You never knew with females. He knocked at the door and was led inside. he gasped inside, she looked great...the dress hugged her tightly and showed off her curves...nice...behind Diana Sakura fixed her hair and veil.

"There sis, all pretty!" Sakura chided as she pulled her simple red gown straighter. She had been standing on a chair to fix the top of Diana's veil. Zorn eyed her a bit funny. Innocently Sakura greeted him.
"Zorn we're ready to go." Zorn nodded absently. Offcourse they were...then shook himself awake and guided them into the hallway while inside the throne room it filled up with high guests. Including...Coola. For this once Nappa stood near the king. A trumpet sounded. Vegeta didn't like this anymore. All this ceremony for what? A simple bonding. He started sulking when Zorn walked into the isle, behind him two red females.

Diana pulled together all guts and strode to the king, past all guests and down the isle. Ou stood there radiant. Vegeta with a stunned expression on his face. Nearly unseen Ou smacked Vegeta's head on the back. Vegeta snapped out of his daze and as written, walked up to Diana to welcome her and accept her as his mate. Before walking back to the dais and still holding her hand gallantly, as done in the Terran Middle Ages. The formal bonding, royal Saiyan style existed in 1 hour yapping about the ancestors. Their lineage, and 30 minutes for each partner to take their vows, and 45 minutes for Vegeta's responsibilities alone. He was not amused, nor was Coola who was bored stiff. Which in his turn, made Ou's day even more perfect and the Ou managed to stretch the ceremony some longer. By making up extra responsibilities for Diana which lasted about 30 minutes. He was so blessed as a well spoken king. His mind was filled with promises, bonding's and such.

To all Saiyans and Coola the ceremony ended with Diana and Vegeta doing a blood promise, consisting in putt8ng the tip of a crystal ancient dagger in their palm and rubbing them against the other. When that was finished there lead by Ou to the balcony where the waiting Saiyan's cheered. Now...PARTY TIME! The newly weds flew overhead, as Sakura and Ou zoomed behind them across the sky. As one the others flowed forming a swarm of happy saiyans.
