Change in plans. The next chapter is the last one. I couldn't think of what
to do for the next chapter but end it. Thanks for reviewing SSJVegitto.
Ch.10: Saturn
Hotaru stood in front of a mirror smoothing the fabric of her violet renaissance style dress. The ship would land on Saturn any minute now. Vegeta walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Stop worrying so much."
"I can't help it Vegeta. My mother isn't going to be pleased."
"She'll learn to live with it. From what I've seen everyone but your mother wants us together. I know I do." Vegeta planted a small kiss on Hotaru's neck.
"As do I." Hotaru said feeling instantly better. With Vegeta at her side there was no way she could lose. She could always live with Haruka or Michiru if things didn't work out.
"Landing in thirty seconds." The on-board computer warned them. Hotaru and Vegeta rushed to the control room and buckled in. The ship bumped a bit while it landed on Saturn. The two left the ship and walked outside.
"Vegeta did Bardock say if he and Kakarot were coming here or not?" Hotaru asked.
"He said they weren't. Why do you ask?"
"Whose are those?" Hotaru asked pointing at two Saiyans space pods. Vegeta looked at them closely and then realized who was there.
"Oh Kami." He mumbled. "It's my parents."
"Oh no. I forgot about the conference today. What'll we do?"
"This is a perfect time to tell them." Hotaru nodded in agreement. They walked into the palace and Hotaru led the way to her mother's conference room. Hotaru stopped at the door feeling very nervous. Vegeta took her hand in his. "You can do this. I'll be right here beside you." He said kissing her lips. Hotaru smiled softly.
"I don't know how I survived without you Vegeta." She said before returning Vegeta's kiss. Taking a deep breath, Hotaru knocked on the large wooden door in front of them.
"Who is it?" A voice came from the other side.
"Mother its me." Hotaru said slightly squeezing Vegeta's hand.
"Oh Hotaru darling you're home."
"Yes Mother I am. I also have a guest and a very important announcement."
"Please Hotaru come in." Hotaru looked at Vegeta.
"I need you to stay here until I deliver my announcement." Vegeta nodded and released Hotaru's hand. Hotaru again took in a deep breath and entered the room. Sierra beckoned her daughter to come over to her.
"This is my daughter Hotaru. Hotaru I would like you to meet King Vegeta and Queen Kiana of Vegeta-sai."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Hotaru said curtsying.
"My, my Sierra you have taught this girl her manners well. I only wish my son was like that." Kiana said glaring at King Vegeta who turned away and huffed. Hotaru did her best not to grin.
"Hotaru where is your guest you mentioned?" Sierra asked.
"He is out in the hall." She answered.
"He?" Sierra questioned. "Oh Hotaru have you found a suitor?" Sierra asked curiously.
"Yes Mother I believe I have." She said quietly. Sierra stood and hugged her daughter tightly.
"That is wonderful Hotaru." She didn't notice that Hotaru didn't look happy. Hotaru removed herself from her mother.
"Please do not celebrate yet Mother." Sierra looked at her daughter in confusion. But soon realized why Hotaru was so uncomfortable.
"He's not from Saturn is he?" Hotaru looked down at her feet shaking her head. Sierra sighed and turned to Kiana and King Vegeta. "Would you please excuse us?" Sierra said beginning to usher Hotaru out of the room.
"No Mother." Hotaru took her mother's hand from her arm. "They have a right to know as well." Sierra stared at Hotaru with a look in her eyes Hotaru couldn't quite place.
"Hotaru please do not tell me. You stayed with that Saiyan after I specifically told you not to. You know as well as I do that Saiyans and Saturnians are forbidden to be together. It has been law since your great- grandmother." Sierra said showing that she was disappointed in Hotaru.
"Well it's the stupidest law I have ever come across." Hotaru blurted out. Not being able to control her anger anymore, tears came to her eyes. "It shouldn't matter what planet you are from. If you love someone, you love them." Sierra looked at her daughter in shock. Hotaru had never burst out like that before.
"Hotaru..." Sierra began but Hotaru stopped her.
"I have always done what you have told me to do with no questions asked. Even if I didn't want to. I think I am entitled to love whom ever I wish. Saiyan or not." Hotaru regained her posture. "Now if you'll excuse me." Hotaru left the room. Sierra stared at the door wondering how a Saiyan male could change her young daughter so much.
"This scene seems too familiar doesn't it Sierra." Kiana said. "Are you going to do the same thing to Hotaru that your mother did to you?"
"I have no choice."
"Yes you do." Kiana said. "I agree with Hotaru that law is absurd. You have the power to get rid of it and not cause your daughter's heart to be broken like yours was."
"Law is law woman. Give up. The girl's heart will be broken eventually. It's just speeding up process." King Vegeta said to his mate's words. They didn't notice the door had opened back up.
"Who gives a damn about a stupid law." Vegeta said standing at the door.
"Vegeta. What are you doing here?" Kiana asked her son.
"I have something to say." He answered turning to Sierra. "And that your daughter is preparing to leave the planet."
"What?" Sierra questioned.
"Not only that. I will be going with her." Vegeta said. "I am not going to allow you to hurt her in any way anymore."
"Oh Vegeta." Kiana said softly. Vegeta left the room closing the door again.
"What was Vegeta doing here? He's supposed to be with Bardock on the Moon."
"Don't you understand?" Kiana said. "Vegeta is the Saiyan Hotaru is in love with."
"Are you serious? My daughter and your son?"
"It has to be true. I don't know anyone else that Vegeta would protect much less from their own family."
"The boy needs to learn his place." King Vegeta said getting up from his chair.
"Hold it right there." Kiana demanded. "I will not allow you to interfere with Vegeta's happiness." Kiana stood and walked to the door. She opened it. "The two of you should think this law over. Would the two of you be like you are if your parents had let you stay with the person you loved?" With that Kiana left the room.
*Hotaru and Vegeta*
Vegeta and Hotaru were outside the palace readying the ship to leave.
"Where are we going?" Vegeta asked wrapping his arms around Hotaru's middle.
"Uranus. Haruka offered to let us live there as long as we want." Hotaru answered.
"Are you sure you want to do?" Hotaru sighed.
"No I don't want to but if this is the only way then so be it." Hotaru had to leave when a palace guard called for her. Vegeta was getting on the ship when Kiana came out.
"Vegeta wait." Vegeta stopped and got back on the ground.
"What is it Mother?" Kiana came up to her son and wrapped her arms around him.
"I am so proud of you Vegeta." She said releasing her son. "Not everyone has the courage you have to go against anyone and everyone for someone you care for." Vegeta stared at his mother in disbelief.
"You actually approve of what I am doing?" He asked. Kiana smiled.
"Yes Vegeta I do approve. I always tried to tell you to follow your heart no matter what anyone else thought. Hotaru is very lucky to have you and I am sure she knows it." Kiana said seeing that Hotaru had returned. Hotaru smiled at her.
"I sure do." Hotaru said joining Vegeta's side who wrapped his arm around her.
"The two of you had better be on your way." Kiana said. "If I could I would like to visit every now and then."
"Of you can." Hotaru said. "You're welcome to come anytime." Kiana smiled at Hotaru.
"Thank you dear. Now go on. I've heard of this Haruka and heard she wasn't the most patient." Hotaru chuckled.
"Yes you're right." Kiana gave her son one last hug before they began to board the ship. They were about to close the door when they were stopped.
"Wait!" Hotaru and Vegeta came back out and saw Sierra running up to them.
"What do you want Mother?" Hotaru asked as Sierra came up to them.
"Hotaru please do not leave."
"Why not? I have renounced my title so why stay here?"
"Please Hotaru just listen to me." Sierra pleaded. Hotaru sighed.
"Okay Mother I'm listening." Sierra took in a deep breath.
"With a little persuasion I've decided to remove that law from existence." Hotaru looked at her mother in shock. "I've realized that law has no true meaning. The only thing it does is tear people apart. I should know."
"Do you mean it?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes Hotaru I do. Your father and I were forced together. As many good things that had come from that, I didn't want you to be forced into a relationship you did not want to be in." Hotaru ran up to her mother and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." Sierra smiled. Hotaru let go of her mother and went back to Vegeta. He picked her up and spun her around happily. Vegeta put her back on her feet and kissed her. Meanwhile Kiana walked over to Sierra.
"You made the right decision." She said.
"I know." Sierra answered. "They're so in love that they would leave just to be together. It's amazing."
"Yes it is." Kiana said. "Now may be a time we can began thinking about grandchildren." Sierra laughed.
"We heard that." Vegeta said.
"I wouldn't plan on any children from me for at least a decade." Hotaru said. Sierra and Kiana laughed.
"You say that now dear. But you wait and see." Kiana said. Hotaru shook her head.
"Can we at least wait until I'm not considered a teenager anymore?" They continued to talk as they went back inside the palace. It took a couple of hours but Hotaru and Vegeta finally convinced their mothers to wait awhile for grandchildren.
Pushy mothers ain't they? Well the end is next. It will probably be a couple months before the sequel comes out. Review!
