"Close But No Cigar"

I left you at a cliffhanger in the last chapter, so here's chapter nine for you. If the last few chapters of all of my stories don't seem to be as well done as the others, it's because I wasn't at my normal computer when I wrote them, therefore, they are not the best I've written. I am back now, at my original computer, which means that all of my inspirations will start bombarding me at any moment *nervously gulps* at least I hope they do. Pleaz R&R and enjoy.

Disclaimer: I know, I gave you a long boring intro so the disclaimer is going to be dull too, I don't own dbz or any of it's characters.

Chapter 9: Don't I Ever Get a Break?

"Oh my Dende, it's you!" Awki stammered in her fright.

Goten could see a look of fear in Awki's raven eyes, and it almost made him sorry that he was part of the whole plot to kill her. He reached over and grabbed her making sure that she could not make an attempt to escape. She struggled to get free, but failed, for Goten had strength that not even he knew of.

"Goten, what are you doing? Let me go, I need to get out of here, he's going to kill us both if you don't let go of me." Awki screamed. She began to flail about in her fright, doing whatever she could do to get loose.

"Don't worry, Awki. It'll be all right, for me at least. You on the other hand, won't be so lucky." Goten said calmly.

"Is it done?"

"Yes, master, it is done, Awki is once again in your grasp." Goten said to the voice that had spoken to him from the front of the limousine.

"Excellent. You've done well, my young, obedient slave."

"Master? Master, you said once I produced Awki, you would let me go. Will you remain true to your word?" Goten asked nervously.

"Of course, boy. What do you take me for, a con man? How dare you think that I be a mere con man!" The voice hissed angrily from the front seat.

"I meant nothing by it master, honest!" Goten hurriedly said.

"I highly doubt that, and for your rudeness, you will not be set free."

Goten's head dropped as he began to sob into Awki's lap. Awki had never seen such a sight. She was so freaked out by it, she made no attempt to remove Goten's head. She had never seen a grown man, such as Goten, completely break down at a few mere words.

The voice that had come from the front seat now turned his attention to Awki. He did the best he could to turn around in his seat.

He stared at Awki, his cold lustful eyes pierced her in a way that not even she could explain. Awki had never felt so many sensations at one time. Through her body pulsed so many feelings; it was impossible to sort them all out.

"How did yo-." Awki trailed off in her daze.

"How did I survive?" Frieza finished for her. Frieza didn't wait for an answer. "I told you, if you escaped me, that I would kill your precious daddy, didn't I?"

"Wha-?" Awki asked, trying to comprehend what he was talking about.

Frieza reached over and grabbed Awki's chin and forced it to look into his eyes. Awki reluctantly let her face be jerked in the direction of Frieza, but lost her losing battle and allowed Frieza to torment her further.

"You escaped me a second time, but I assure you, it won't happen again. You are powerless against me, even when I had been weakened by that pathetic man you call Kakkarot." Frieza spat into Awki's face.

It was true; Awki practically went limp in Frieza's grasp. It wasn't particularly strong; she just couldn't stand up to him. She had been so traumatized as a child. Frieza had left a huge mental scar. In the place of a good child hood, she remembered being slapped silly, and men sticking they're manhood into her small fragile body. Awki remembered how her child hood had been, and how at such a young age, she had hoped to die in her sleep every night.

Hot tears streaked Awki's beautiful, worn, smooth face. She now understood why Goten had done what he had done, to be freed of Frieza's grasp. He had given Awki to Frieza, to be freed of Frieza's ability to take a mind and completely deteriorate it in one glance.

Awki looked down at Goten, and lifted his head up off her lap so that she could look at him in the eye. Goten allowed his head to be thrust upward to meet Awki's gaze.

"Goten, what you did was terrible, but I understand why you did it." Awki whispered to Goten. "I know how Frieza plays his mind games, and how it can bring down even the strongest of people. I know that you didn't mean to do this, I probably would've done the same if I were in your situation. I'm not sure if you actually cared for me in your heart, but because I care for you, I'm going to sacrifice everything so that you can escape, ok?"

Goten looked up into Awki's eyes. He lifted his head up off of the hand that was holding it in place, and kissed it passionately, as though to tell Awki that he understood.

"This is all so touching, but Awki, you're being unreasonable, I won't let either one of you go." Frieza said.

"No, Frieza, you're the one being unreasonable. I'm the one you want, what use is he to you? Honestly, you can be very greedy." Awki said boldly.

"No, I won't let him go, he belongs to me. Besides, I'm the one who plays with people's minds, how dare you think that you can convince me of anything!" Frieza said angrily.

Awki decided that the only way that Goten's life was going to be spared, was if she swallowed her pride and gave Frieza the last thing he deserved… a night he would never forget. Something that only a woman such as Awki could give because she had had so much experience as a small child.

"Frieza, if you let me go, then I'll give you a little something special before we get back to the ship." Awki said seductively.

Awki could hear the pace of Goten's breathing increase as Frieza pondered what he should do. If he let the boy go, then he would get some really good sex. If he kept the boy, then the boy and Awki would probably just fall in love and he'd get all the good sex. Frieza quickly made up his mind.

"Fine, Awki. The boy is free to go, but you, however, you'll be here for quite a while, my sweet." Frieza said, licking his lips.

Goten grabbed Awki's arm and quickly pulled her into a passionate kiss. He wasn't about to let her go without showing her how he truly felt about her.

Awki broke the kiss and reached over Goten and opened the door of the limousine. Without another word, she shoved Goten out, quickly closing the door behind him.

"Well, well, well. Looks like it's just you and me now." Frieza said as he reached over and grabbed Awki.
