Surrender Sweet Prince Chapter 5
Cruel laughter echoed through the diminutive shadowy space in time where the dark man stood with a malicious smile curving his thin lips.
"I thought you wanted the girl settle before we started this?" his companion said in her usual throaty purr. The man waved his hand dismissively. "Patients is over rated."
Black cape billowing around him, he turned. "You were not detected at all. Well done Vesper."
"It was easy enough my lord." A serpentine voice said from the shadows. There was a ripple of silver in the blackness and a creature appeared from nowhere. It was a gruesome sight with it greenish gray skin that seamed too tight for his form and freakishly long legs mostly concealed by the folds of a dark brown, tattered cloak. Its face resembled that of a snake, long with a short deformed nose. Black pupils surrounded by blood red stared vacantly out from that face and razor sharp teeth managed to gleam in the poor lighting. "Do you wish anything else of me?"
"No. That will be all, thank you." The man said. He turned back to his female companion. They watched as the Sayian picked up the unconscious princess, cradling her carefully in his arms, and disappeared into the house.
"What now, lord?" his companion asked, brushing her dark hair over her shoulder.
The man's eyes burned with fury as he watched the scene below. He spoke in a cold voice, devoid of emotion, almost alien. "Now.vengeance."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you didn't even see it coming?" Goku asked, watching Vegeta focus his ki into his open palm.
"I was distracted!" Vegeta snapped. The sphere forming in his hand quickly jumped in size.
"You?! Distracted? How?"
"Damn it Kakarot! If I have to explain it to you one more time, I'm going to kick your ass from here all the way to the Other World, got it?!" He released the ki blast and it raced across the land, leveling several trees and mountains in the distance.
"Hey! At least you're not destroying planets anymore!" Goku pointed out cheerfully. Vegeta glared at him. Sighing, Goku stood up and faced his friend. Over the years they had come to a certain understanding and now shared a unique friendship. Sure, it consisted mainly of beating the absolute shit out of each other.but it was therapeutic. "Go ahead. I know you want to." Goku said, flashing his trademark smirk.
Without hesitation, Vegeta brought his fist back and slammed it into Goku's face, sending the other man flying into a large tree. Goku picked himself up and rubbed his jaw. "Feel better now?"
"No."
"Jezz. What's bothering you Vegeta?" he asked.
Vegeta stared out at the vast plain. Hardly anything existed there now. After years of battle the scarred land was far beyond any repair. Leaning against one of the last few existing trees, he crossed his arms over his chest, lacking his usual arrogance, and closed his eyes. There really was no point to staying here and beating up Goku. No matter how many times Vegeta hit the man; it wouldn't make him feel any better. Only Serena could do that. And she was unconscious after suffering a major head trauma from the attack the previous night. The doctor Bulma had called in had told them that that Serena had hit her head at an odd angle and it was undetermined weather or not the girl would slip into a state of comatose or not.
The entire situation made Vegeta furious. He had no idea who the attack had come from or where to find them, and now because of his inability to protect her, Serena was laying in bed hurt and unconscious.
He had snuck into her room after everyone left and stayed with her the entire night hoping for some kind of change in her condition. There had been none, of course. Which was why he was here, taking his anger out on nature and Goku.
"You're worried about her, aren't you?
"What the hell are you rambling about Kakarot?" Vegeta sneered, turning to face the other Sayian.
"Serena. You're worried about her!" Goku said. He caught Vegeta's fist before it made contact. "You are." He stated calmly.
Vegeta smirked at his opponent. "Fool. You actually think that I would allow myself to feel such weak and pitiful emotions? I am not some fucking low class moron like you, Kakarot. I have no time for such things."
Goku easily brushed off his callous remark. He knew Vegeta was only angry because he'd struck a bit too close to the truth. "You're lying."
Vegeta's eyes became cold and relentless. "Now I feel like kicking your ass."
Goku had expected this. Fighting had always been Vegeta's way of dealing with problems. He knew Vegeta was in complete denial of his feelings for Serena, but he wasn't going to push the subject right now. He'd let Serena be the one to show him that love was the greatest power of all. For now, he'd give Vegeta what he wanted. Besides, he'd never been the kind of guy to turn down a good fight.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena had been swimming in and out of consciousness for what felt like weeks. She didn't know which she would rather stay in. Unconsciousness allowed her an escape from the constant pain, but consciousness offered her Vegeta. She had managed to drag her eye lids open one night and even though it pained her to do so, she had smiled at the sight that greeted her.
Her bedside lamp was on, casting it's muted glow across the floor and bed. Sitting beside her was her Prince, Vegeta. He sat with his elbows on his knees, his large, capable hands gently holding one of hers. The blunt tips of his fingers delicately brushed over her pale skin. She tried to speak, to call out to him, but was overcome by a sudden wave of nausea. She closed her eyes against it and quickly drifted back into a deep slumber.
It was days, or at Serena figured it was days later, when she felt ready to try and open her eyes again. By the time she came to and her eyes fluttered open, an hour had elapsed.
It was morning, or perhaps early afternoon. The off white shades had been drawn to block the sunlight. Serena blinked a few times, then slowly moved each limb to make sure that she was still in one whole, working piece. Next, she moved her head from side to side and was immediately surprised to find that she was not alone in the room. Passed out on either side of her, one snoring softly and the other drooling on the pillow she, thankfully, never used was Goten and Trunks.
Serena smiled and gingerly lifted a hand, brushing her fingers through Goten's thick, black hair and the boys eyes slowly opened. "Hi Serena." He said softly. His eyelids started to drift shut but swiftly snapped back open and he regarded with wide-eyed disbelief. "You're awake!!"
Goten carefully jumped over Serena and shook his friend impatiently. "Trunks! Trunks! Serena's awake!!"
"Mmm.ten more minute mom." Trunks murmured.
"TRUNKS!! Your dad is coming!"
Trunks jerked up, now fully awake. "What! Where?!"
Despite the pounding headache forming behind her eyes, Serena couldn't help but laugh at their behavior. The soft sound of her laughter filled the room and Trunks finally noticed why his sleep had been so rudely disturbed. "Serena!!"
Both boys flung themselves at her and wrapped their arms tightly around her waist, talking excitedly.
"Are you feeling okay?"
"You were almost comatossed!"
"Comatose, idiot."
"Yeah. What Trunks said."
"We're gonna find that guy and beat the crap out of him."
Serena placed a hand over each of their mouths to stop the stream of words. "Okay boys." She started quietly, her voice scarcely audible from lack of use. "You need to talk a little more quietly and not at the same time. My head still hurts pretty bad."
After getting solemn nods from each, she took her hands from their mouths. Goten pushed himself further up and rested his head against her shoulder. He started to play with a strand of her flaxen hair. "We were worried about you, Sere."
"I bet you were." Serena whispered, planting a light kiss on his forehead. The boys dozed off and Bulma came to collect them fifteen minutes later just as Serena was about to join them.
The door slowly creaked open and Bulma peeked in, surprised to see Serena half awake. She entered the room with a vibrant smile. "I'm so glad you're awake." She murmured softly, sitting down on the bed beside Serena and Trunks. "Everyone's been so worried." The older woman pressed a cool hand to Serena's brow and, finding no temperature, nodded approvingly. "These two wanted to take a nap here to make sure you were safe. I hope you don't mind.
Serena shook her head. "Not at all." She ran her fingers through Trunks' hair just as she had done to Goten's earlier, letting the soft lavender strands sift slowly through her fingers.
"Not at all like his father, is he?" Bulma asked. She smiled down at her sleeping son, love and adoration shinning in clearly in her eyes.
"Oh, he's in there somewhere. Just wait until he gets older." Serena said, causing Bulma to chuckle softly. "How is Vegeta? I he.he wasn't hurt?"
Bulma shook her head. "No. Vegeta's fine. How about you?"
"I'm."Serena paused, trying to think past the numbing pain. "My head is killing me."
"Sit tight. I've got something that will help you out with that." She got up and left the room, returning several minutes later with a steaming mug. The contents were light green and smelled pleasantly of rosemary and mint.
Serena gratefully took the mug from Bulma and inhaled the delicious scent. "Mmm. Very pleasant way of drugging me boss." She said, carefully sipping the tea.
Bulma laughed softly. "Yeah. I used top of the line drugs. Very effective. They should ease the pain, soothe your throat and knock you out pretty damn quick."
"Good!"
"Did you want me to take these two monsters with me?"
Serena shook her head. She could already feel the medicine kicking in, dulling her senses and making her incredibly drowsy. "S'okay. They can stay."
"Works pretty good huh?" Bulma commented with a slight laugh. "I'll leave them here then. Get some rest Serena. You'll feel much better after you rest."
Serena managed a small not and fell fast asleep.
The next time she awoke, Serena felt extremely well rested. Her throat no longer felt scratchy and dry and her headache was nothing more then a dull ache at the base of her skull. It was dark again. How long had she been asleep? A day? A week? She looked to the side of the bed to see who was watching over her and smiled. Vegeta was sitting beside her again. Instead of holding her hand he was instead holding the picture she kept on her bedside table. The one of her and Rini. He looked.terrible. She watched as he rubbed a hand despairingly over his face and muttered on unintelligible curse. He looked tired which was unusual for him. Serena was immediately worried. "Vegeta.what happened isn't your fault." She said softly.
Startled, the Sayian Prince jerked his head up and for a split second Serena saw something in his eyes she thought she would never see. Vulnerability. It was quickly replaced by a humorless smirk. "Of course it was, stupid female. I should have been able to protect you better."
Serena smiled at him. "No. We were both.umm.not really paying attention. I'm perfectly capable of holding my own." She reached over and carefully took one of his hands in hers, looking up to see if he was okay with it. He gave her a curt nod.
"Is this you?" He asked, effectively changing the subject and holding out the picture for her to see.
Serena looked down at the picture of her and Rini. Her daughter smiled up at her and Serena bit back tears. "Yes. That's me."
"You cut your hair."
"I needed a change."
He stared at her for a moment and nodded again. "Who's the girl?"
She traced the glass over Rini's face. "She's.my daughter."
"The father?"
Serena's smile faltered. "I.don't know who her father is. She's from the future. Giggling, she placed the picture back on the table. "I know that sounds ridiculous."
Vegeta shook his head. "Trunks did that too."
Serena cocked her head to the side, trying to ignore the fact that what was going on between them was somewhat surreal. They were actually having a conversation.and Vegeta wasn't mad. "He did?"
"Yes. At first it was to help us rid the earth of the Androids. Now he just comes to visit every now and then. I'm.proud of him. What he's become."
Serena gasped in mock surprise. "Excuse me? Did I just hear a compliment pass your lips?!" she cried laughingly. His smirk widened slightly. "Hush woman."
"No one else knows you have a side like this, do they?" she asked.
Vegeta shook his head slowly.
"What makes me so special?"
He moved to the bed, sitting down beside her and bringing his hand up to gently cup her face. She saw the flash of vulnerability once more before his lips came down and claimed hers. He kissed her hesitantly, as if it were their first time sharing a kiss. She raised her hands and buried them in his thick hair, whimpering softly as his tongue entered her mouth. It was unlike any kiss they had shared before. His lips moved slowly upon hers, manipulating them, branding them. The kiss was so sweet, so unexpected that it brought tears to her eyes. This was right. This was exactly where she was supposed to be, whom she was supposed to be with. His chest pressed against hers, causing an aching desire to flood through her. She felt one of his hands caress her leg, moving up over her hip and gripping her waist softly.
They broke apart, each gasping for breath and staring deeply into each other's passion clouded eyes. Serena fell in love right then and there. She would give her life for this man, her Prince. She knew without a doubt now that he was her destiny.
Vegeta swallowed hard and stared down at the woman in his arms. What the hell was he doing? Did he really want to allow this small female to know who he really was? He looked into her beautiful blue eyes and knew his answer. It scared the hell out of him. And his pride.what was he supposed to do with that? God, he was going to hate himself in the morning. "I lied to you." He forced himself to say.
She blinked in surprise and her lips, gorgeously swollen from his kisses, formed an "o". "About what?" she asked in a small voice.
"About you never having me."
He stood up, leaned over to press a kiss to her head, inhaling the sweet scent of her shampoo and left the room.
