The Princess and The Outlaw

by Chibi Makoto

AN: erm...ok. Well I''m guessing that this story really did go *WAY* downhill because I lost a good amount of reviewers. ^^;; Oh well, that''s ok because I still got reviews. So Thanks Whitty (Elf), Lady Moonpearl, and Goten''s Girl. School was keeping me from writing this next part, oh and also my Inuyasha obsession that I''ve seemed to develop... . I just love it though! Oh and I added a little Trunks in this chapter. Ok well enough of my babbling, onto the next part! ^^

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A certain lavender haired Prince was walking down the many corridors of the large ship he was in charge of. He had just received word that his father had another urgent task for him and the Warrior Elite to handle. This would''ve been fine but he was already in the middle of another mission. If they had to go and change coordinates now they wouldn''t be able to finish the purge in time and thus lose this planet and it''s moon''s. All he needed was at least another week or so and he would have it but his father had called and said for the whole Vegitasei Warrior Elite to change directions, as soon as possible, and head in the opposite direction to go after this one ship that seemed to have been highjacked. He wanted an explanation for this and it better have been a good one.

He finally made it to his destination and two doors flew open automatically and he stepped into the busy control room. Lots of Saiya-jin''s were scurrying around this way and that preparing for take off and making sure the other ships were ready to leave as well.

"Ah, Prince Trunks," said a shorter Saiya-jin walking up towards the Prince in a hurry, "You''ve got the message. It seems that the King has an urgent emergency for us to follow up on, and-"

The man stopped short as Trunks pushed him out of the way and went to the communications center part of the control room.

"I need to contact my father," he told the communication''s director with a stern and somewhat cold look. The Prince did not seem happy at that particular moment and no one wanted to question him or make him even more upset for fear of their lives.

"Yes sir," the director soon went to work and started to punch in a bunch of codes and soon looked up towards the big screen of the room they were in. Another Sayia-jin soon popped up on the screen with a questioning look.

"The Prince wishes to speak to the King," the communication''s director on board the ship said to the other Sayia-jin before he could ask them what they wanted. The screen soon went blank for a second and after a little while the King appeared on it.

"What is it, brat?" he said not sounding so pleased.

"I want to know why we have direct orders to leave right away!? They came from you but we are not done with this Planet yet. All we need is at least a few more days. We have only the southern part left and one of the smaller Moons-"

The Prince was cut off as the roar of the King seemed to blare over the speakers of the communication''s area.

"Do as I say! Do not question my authority! You will leave now and bring your sister back and also that damned outlaw dead or alive!"

With that said and done the communications link was soon cut off and the screen went black.

"What the hell is my sister doing off the planet?" the Prince questioned out loud to no on in particular.

Soon the shorter Saiya-jin that was talking to Trunks when he had first entered the control room spoke up again. "That''s what I was trying to say to you, my Prince. It seems that your sister had been kidnapped by none other than the outlaw 17 himself..." The last of his words seemed to trail off a bit but was caught by anyone that was listening to the shorter Saiya-jin at the time.

The Prince clenched his fists tightly. Of course Bra would go off and get herself kidnapped. It didn''t surprise him at all that she had. She was always trying to run away and get out of the castle. Typical. This time she ended up getting herself kidnapped, maybe it was what she wanted since she did want to get away all the time.

Trunks sighed to himself seeing that he would have to go after her and bring Vegitasei Warrior Elite along too.

"Do as my father wishes and prepare to leave at once," he said as everyone in the room soon went back to running around and getting ready to leave.

Well when he found her he would probably give her a good tongue lashing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bra sat there in the chair, well there wasn''t much else she could really do because she was tied down. She kept on struggling against the ropes every now and then. Well when she wasn''t trying to keep her balance from having the chair and herself fall to the ground because with their newly broken wing of the ship it was quite hard to keep steady and not fall over with how bumpy the ride had now gotten. She sighed to herself as she looked down at the ropes keeping her to the chair. She assumed that her wrists were now red from trying to twist them around so much with even chance she got to free herself. It was no use though. She just couldn''t get them to budge at all.

"Dammit!" she heard another curse word from the front of the ship along with another loud banging noise with some more curses to follow that.

Seemed like 17 was still having a very hard time trying to get the ship under control...still. She really didn''t mean for it to happen, for all she knows they could probably crash on this nearby Planet, that they were supposed to land on sometime soon, and die in the crash. It wasn''t exactly a nice thought to come by. If they were going to crash it would be nice to not be tied up. Maybe that way she could come out of it alive. After all she was part Saiya-jin.

All of a sudden the ship shook violently causing Bra to lean back in the chair she was in so that she wouldn''t go toppling over like the other various objects that had flown forward and past her quickly.

Maybe the ship was landing right now. She couldn''t exactly see if they were still in space or landing at that moment because 17 had tied her up in one of the middle rooms of the ship and had gone back to try and get the thing under control. But with how many curse words she heard coming from his direction she basically thought that they were as good as dead.

The ship soon shook again but this time it was jumping up and down making all the other objects plus herself bounce around.

"What the-" Bra was cut off as the ship seemed to have made contact with something as she heard a screech of metal underneath her. Then she ship took a very sharp turn causing her chair to fall over all of a sudden and have her land on her side. She couldn''t exactly push herself back up and her face was pushed down against the floor.

After a second the ship seemed to have stopped and she slide back over the floor to the other side of the room with the other objects on the floor from the force of the back momentum.

"Ugh.." she groaned to herself and tried to at least get the chair back up on it''s feet. She heard footsteps coming towards her and saw a pair of shoes walking towards her and heard a soft chuckle.

"Shut up you bastard!" she said to him still mad at him for tying her up and then coming in here and laughing at her.

"Now, now Princess. I just saved our lives. You should be thanking me," he said to her making no movement to help her up from her current position.

"Yeah right. Like I''d ever thank you for anything," she said still struggling to get back up but the ropes she was tied with weren''t helping any.

17 then reached down and grabbed the back of her chair and sat her back up. She was thankful that he put her back and upright but she wasn''t going to say so, plus she still have to get untied and escape from him.

"What do you say...?" 17 asked her.

"Bite me," Bra said in a very unprincess like manner.

"Hm, maybe I should''ve just left you there on the floor then," he said kicking one of her chair legs so that she would have to lean over to the other side, a little, to keep herself from falling back down and ending up in the position she was just in a second ago.

"Now, I have to get this tin can repaired and we shall be on our way. You on the other hand shall stay here and keep quiet unless you do wish to die. I''m not particularly happy with you at the moment," he told her sternly.

She just shot him a cold glare that would probably make any normal being back away from her. Instead he just walked towards her as cocky as ever and grabbed one of the ropes tying her down and pulling on it tighter. She tried to pull herself away from him so that he wouldn''t be able to tie her down tighter but it was no use. He made sure that they were all pretty tight so that she wouldn''t be able to get away and headed from the main door of the ship, Bra glaring at him the whole time.

Bra heard it open squeakily and then heard it close. It sounded as if it were about to fall apart. She soon started to struggle up against the ropes again and looked around the room for anything that could maybe help her to escape the bindings.

'I''ll show him,' she thought to herself, 'I''ll get out of these stupid things and he''ll come back and I won''t be here. I''ll contact my father somehow and be back home in no time.'

She seemed to be getting angrier ever second and soon a piece of the rope started to give way...

AN: Ok well I think that I''ll just stop right there. ^^ I basically think that this could be somewhat a filler chapter and it was kind of boring. XD Sorry if I repeated myself ever but hey, can''t always be perfect in my writing. . Okies well please R&R. ^^ Oh and can someone tell me how to spell kidnaped? On my spell checker it said that it only has one P but on dictionary.com it says that it has two but then it says it also has one. It just got me so confused. X_x; So sorry about that. Also maybe you can give me some kind of idea''s for what I should do. I have an idea in my head but I''m not 100% sure if I like it. I hope I get to write again soon here. See ya!
