For All Time's Sake

Business

        Usagi awoke to two light blues eyes staring at her.  She sat up straight, at first forgetting where she was.  Then it hit her, the night and day before.  She turned to Drathem and smiled slightly.

        "How long have you been waiting for me to get up?"  Usagi asked him softly.

        "About a hour."

        "I am sorry to keep you waiting."

        "I didn't mind, I was watching you sleep.  You know you are even sexier when you sleep."

        "I should get dressed now."  Usagi turned around to the closet and began looking through it for something to where. She found a simple black and silver dress made of silk.  She began to slide off her pajama bottoms when she looked up to see Drathem still sitting on the bed.  "Umm…could you maybe wait outside?"

        "I could, but I won't."

        "Please.  You can come right back in after I am done."

        "I can't even see you change?"  Drathem asked a little angry, yet also disappointed.

        "No.  Now please get out."  Usagi gently directed Drathem to the door and then closed it behind him. She put the dress on and soon after heard a knock at her door.  "Come in."

        Usagi turned around to see Vegeta at the door, standing there with his famous smirk on his face.

        "Where is Drathem?"  Usagi asked him.

        "His father wanted him and he asked me to escort you to breakfast.  He said I could find you here and I did, but I am still trying to figure out why you are in here.  It looks as if you have moved in."

        "I did."  Usagi replied softly.

        "Oh, so the weak little earthling isn't so innocent as we thought."

        "If you think I slept with him, I didn't!  Well I did sleep in the same bed, but we didn't you know…"

        "No I don't know, enlighten me."  Vegeta said sarcastically, his smirk growing larger.

        "I didn't have sex with him.  You happy?"

        "Surprisingly, yes."

        "Wait, why are you happy?"

        Vegeta stepped towards her and gently stroked her cheek, Usagi stepped away from him, but he just followed until he trapped her against the wall.

        "You know your beautiful?"

        "Vegeta, what are you doing?"  Usagi squeaked out in a whisper.

        "You know you want me.  I see it in your eyes and I smell your lust towards me."

        "No, please Vegeta, leave me alone."  Usagi begged, she looked towards the floor afraid to look at Vegeta.

"Look at me."  Vegeta said softly, almost gently.  Usagi stilled looked at the floor.  "LOOK AT ME!"  Vegeta screamed as he grabbed Usagi's chin and turned her face towards him and then lifted it up so she was forced to look into his eyes.  Small tears began to form in Usagi's eyes and then Vegeta roughly let go of her chin.  He grabbed her hands with one hand and trapped it above her head.  He leaned in closer.  "Scared?"

"Vegeta, no, please stop.  Please get off of me.  I am with Drathem."

"Do you love him?"

"I…I will learn to.  I have too, it is the only way.  I'll die if I don't."

"You could be my mate."  Usagi looked at Vegeta, her eyes large saucers.

        "What!  Vegeta get off of me.  I am his, whether I want to be or not.  I am finally beginning to love him.  I am slowly realizing that I need to do what I am told, please leave me alone and don't try to confuse me again.  My life is hell right now and I am so mixed up, some things are starting to straighten out, please don't jumble them."  Usagi looked at Vegeta with pleading eyes, he stared down at her and her lips, he inwardly growled and leaned in even closer to Usagi.  Their lips almost touching, he brushed his lips against hers softly, then he licked them with the tip of his tongue.  He claimed her lips with his own.  He licked the outside of Usagi lips asking for entry, when she didn't open her mouth, her roughly shook her hands that were still above her head.  She let his tongue in only because he was hurting her.  Vegeta explored her mouth and she felt herself wanting to give in to the idea of slight happiness, but she fought the feeling.  Finally Vegeta pulled away and he looked down at Usagi.  Her eyes were filled with sadness and slight disgust.  He released her hands and she ran away from him and to the bathroom.

        Once in the bathroom, Usagi looked at herself in the mirror and was disgusted at what she saw.  She was disgusted with herself.  Tears began to stream down her face and she felt like she was going to hurl.  She hurried to the toilet and threw up.  After throwing up for more than a half hour, Usagi heard a knock on the door.

        "Usa, are you in there?"  Usagi recognized the voice of Drathem.  She pondered whether she was ready to face him or not.  Should she tell him what happened or should she keep it a secret.  If she told Drathem, he would probably severly punish Vegeta, if not kill him.  'I couldn't let that happen, not matter what.  I won't tell him.'

        "I am in here, Drathem, the door is unlocked."  Drathem walked in and saw Usagi sitting on the floor, tears stains on her cheeks and  her face paler than normal.  He quickly knelt down by her and then he sat down and placed her in his lap.  Drathem gently stroked her hair as Usagi buried her head in his shoulder.

        "What happen?"

        "I just don't feel to great.  That is all."

        "Come on, I'll take you to bed."  Drathem picked up Usagi gently and placed her in their bed.  He pulled the blanket over her and placed a small kiss on her lips.  He sat down on the side of the bed and rubbed her back gently.

        "You are finally understanding."  Usagi said as a smile spread across her face.

        "Understanding what?"

        "How to love and show you care."

        "I care for you and this is how I show it."

        "Drathem?"

        "Yes Usa?"

        "I'll be ready soon."

        "That's good but I have to leave for a while."

        "Where?  When? Why?"  Usagi questioned Drathem, a worried tone in her voice. 

        "There is a small rebellion on the planet Symstine.  I am going alone with a small army to put it down and to arrest or kill those responsible.  Unfortunately after that I have to go and inspect two other planets.  It is a routine thing but I will be gone for about two weeks or so.  Maybe a fews days more."

        "But when you come back the month will just about be up."

        "You said you would be ready soon, so.   When I return, which I will, we will mate and you give yourself to me fully.  Do we have a deal?"

        "Yes.  I will miss you Drathem."

        "I will miss you too.  You better be ready when I return and stronger too.  You will continue your training with Vegeta, try not to kill him though."  A small grin crossed Drathem's face.  "You will need to be stronger, I wouldn't be going easy on you and I don't want to hurt you."

        "Good bye."

        Drathem leaned in and kissed Usagi, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.  He placed his hands on her hips and deepened the kiss.  Finally the two broke apart and Drathem left the room and Usagi rolled over and went back to sleep.
