Thanks to my faithful rewiewers (I'm proud of the 's')!
Warning: I wrote the first chapter on a salt high and at 4 o'clock in the morning (bad combination... keeps you thirsty all night.)
She sa monoree sabade - You are mine forever
Chapter 7: The Princess of Pija-sei is... saiyan?!
The landing was less soft than Vegeta had expected it to be, but it wasn't as if he'd care. When he opened the hatch, a beautiful landscape met his eyes. Pija-sei had twin suns wich plunged the planet in a stunning golden gleam of late afternoon sunlight. The trees that grew in a small wood at his right resembled pines, but they were slender and exceeded by far the size of earth's trees. Some way before him, nearing the horizon, his gaze fell on the sea, wich wasn't blue, as you would expect, but a pure silver strewn with occasional emerald and violet gleams. Vegeta wondered what sunsets were like in this place. He wished he could have been here together with Bulma. But before his thoughts could escape in a long daydream, he picked up several kis heading his way. They weren't excessively strong, but he wasn't exactly pleased with the idea of blowing this marvelous place up.
When they came in view, Vegeta saw they were flying in formation and were clad in blue battle armors bearing a crest that seemed oddly familiar to him. They were humanoid, though produting ridiculously large hands and feet. They landed, and the leader, who wore an armor with a golden rim that made Vegeta suspect he was a general, stepped forward.
"Who are you, why are you here and why have you not announced your arrival!" He more stated than asked.
Vegeta wasn't in the mood to fight, therefore he just answered normally. "I am here because some %@ð¢& Gerisa-jins collided with me and damaged my engine, and I didn't announce my arrival because I didn't know I had to. As for my name, I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans."
At the last words, the whole company emitted a loud gasp. The general eyed him suspiciously, though somewhat intimidated. Vegeta hoped they wouldn't think he had come to destroy their planet. Then the man took a device out of his pocket and had a long whispered conversation.
"Great, now he's gonna ask for reinforcement", Vegeta thought. However, the general turned to him once again and said:
"The Princess wants to see you. Please follow me to the palace." Then he yelled some commands in a foreign language to the company and took off.
Vegeta was rather surprised, but he followed the man anyway. He was far stronger than anyone on the planet, it wasn't as if they could lurk him into a trap of some sorts. After a flight of some minutes, they landed before a gleaming white palace. It was huge, it's dome-shaped roof stretching high in the sky. But what hit Vegeta most was that it unmistakeably resembled the palace of Vejita-sei, his former home. He however had no more time to reflect on it because they had reached the door to the throne room. It was opened and he stepped inside an excuisite room, large and held entirely in Blue and silver. It was abundantly lighted through the round glass roof. Vegeta noticed nothing of the tasteful decors, his jaw had dropped to the floor as soon as he had he had spotted the princess. She just chuckled.
"Why, if it isn't the prince. What's up with you? Never seen a Saiyan?" she teased him. Vegeta was completely stunned. She walked over to him and shut his mouth with a gracious movement.
"K..- Kyoko?" he spluttered.
"Oh, his majesty remembers me!" she laughed.
***flashback***
A nine-year-old chibi Vegeta walked down a large hallway. Had he known how much he would later regret to never have cast a look on the skillful architekture, he would have acted differently. But for the moment, he didn't care. He was thoroughly pissed. He had just overheared a conversation between his father and Frieza. That bastard was going to send him into slavery without even a fight! He turned around a corner only to bump in something hard.
"Watch where you're going!" he growled at the girl. She must have been around his age, maybe two years older.
"How about you start to learn from your clever comments?" The answer caught Vegeta off-guard. Never had anyone dared to treat him with such disrespect!
"I'll teach you to talk like that to your prince!" He expected her to be afraid once she knew who she was facing, but she just smirked.
"Why, it's the prince. I'm honored."
Vegeta growled. He couldn't help but feel some respect towards this girl. But that wouldn't prevent him from blasting her into oblivion. He fired a ki blast at her he deemed large enough to kill a grown-up middle-class soldier, but she just chuckled and caught it, throwing it back at him.
"Nani!?" Vegeta was confused. This girl was a third-class, the yellow rim of her armor assured as much. But she was damn strong. Vegeta decided to let her live. (A/N: I think he would've had some problems fighting her, and he knew as much.)
"Tell me, third-class, what's your name?" he smirked at her.
"I'm Kyoko from the house of Roota."
"So why were you so preoccupied?"
"My baby brother has just been born, but I'm going to be sent away this evening on a mission. So I was wondering if it was clever to blast my way into the medical wing to see him. What about you, your majesty?" she added, chuckling.
"That's none of your business!" he spat at her. He certainly wasn't going to tell a third-class how helpless he was against his father and Lord Frieza.
"Oh, embarrassing secrets? did you blow up your father's favorite konkubine?"
"I'd never waste my strength on something as pitiful as the King's whores."
"But on his pet turtle." Vegeta hesitated. Why did she know of the turtle incident? His father certainly couldn't have been that eager to make publicly known that he cared more for a turtle than he had for the queen.
"If you need to know, the King is going to surrender me to Lord Frieza." He refused to look in her eyes, certain they would betray some of his emotions. Bah! What a pitiful excuse for a prince he was. It was no wonder his father would send him away.
"Oh." She was silent for a moment. When she spoke again, the sarcasm in her voice had disappeared.
"I'm sure you will be strong enough to endure this trial. It will increase your strength beyond belief." She planted a kiss on his cheek and went her way.
Vegeta hadn't expected her to do this. He just stood there, petrified, then after a few moments he shook his head and went up to his room.
***end flashback***
"Hallo, Pija-sei to Vegeta, stop dreaming!"
"Huh?" Vegeta was a bit lost.
"Finally. I asked you what planet fate had put you up with?"
"Earth." he answered, waking out of his stupor.
Now it was Kyoko's time to stare unbelievingly. "I thought the Earth had been destroyed!"
"Now what made you think that?"
"Remember on Vejita-sei, when we met and I told you I was going to blast my way into the medical wing of the palace to see my new-born brother? Well, I did. As a punishment they sent my brother away too. He was sent to Earth."
A horrible realization dawned on Vegeta. "Your brother wasn't possibly named Kakarotto?"
"Yes, he was. You mean he is still there?"
Vegeta fainted.

So much for today. This becomes easier now I'm over that dead point (now luckily the Gerisa-jins). But I'll probably update less often from next week on because school will start again. I've got to make some extra efforts in maths. I only got an 2+ (I think B+ in american system), and I need an 1 cuz my mom gives me a PowerBook if I have a 1 in English, Physics/Chemics, and Maths. Ph/Ch I've already got one, and English I had a 2+ but I know I just have to chat less and I'll get an 1.
