**-Mits's thoughts ~~- Vegeta's thoughts

*************Dooms Day is Coming

It had been two months since the day Frieza and his lackeys were overheard by the curious Mitsuko. But instead of staying away from Vegeta, she had grown even fonder of him. In fact, she had even forgotten what Frieza was planning for her and her lover.

"What the hell! Quit poking me or I'll hu-Nappa!!!" The sound of Raditz's shrieking interrupted Mitsuko's thoughts. "You know that wound is fresh, and you're not helping any.!"

"I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to toughen up a whole lot. Vegeta says that the purging missions keep getting tougher and tougher," Nappa stated, matter-of-factly. "Either that, or he's getting too soft-hearted, ain't that right, Mits?"

"Who's too soft-hearted, now, Nappa?" Vegeta walked in the room, having finally returning from one of those jobs he liked to call 'Operation Kill- Every-Last-Damn-Thing-On-The-Planet-In-48-Hours'. He apparently had a tough time moving, seeing as his body was encrusted with dried blood, no necessarily his own.

"Raditz. I'm making fun of Raditz. Oh, look at the time. I have to be at that place.with that.horny guy.um." Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "You know, that horny guy." Mitsuko began to giggle, while Raditz seemed offended. "The man has horns on his head! For God's sake, you three are so immature!" He stormed out of the room. ************

It was late. She was tired. Mitsuko trudged down the cold, silver corridor in the dark, listening for any interesting conversation as she went along. Nothing. *This place is so boring. Why does nothing good ever happen?* Mitsuko sighed heavily. She kept walking, with hopes of hearing something, anything at all. She hated the quiet. She'd even settle for some one crying out in ecstasy. That's when she heard the growl. She glanced around, wondering whom it was, when she heard Zarbon's voice. *They must be in the mess hall.*

*********** "But sire, why not just kill the little bitch right now? It would be so much easier."

"Because, Zarbon, Vegeta'll never do a thing I tell him to again if he knew I had arranged her death. I said I'd give them three months. Their time is up in exactly four days, seven hours and.twenty-six minutes." Frieza cackled.

Dodoria stood up. "Shall I make the arrangements, Lord Frieza?"

"I'm way ahead of you. My cousin is ruler of planet Nosnahaj. I'll send them in, and the little wench will be murdered right there on the spot."

***********

Mitsuko squeezed her eyes shut. She started off again and broke into a steady jog as tears burned her cheeks as they rolled over the pale flesh.

She stood outside of her chamber door. She still shared it with Vegeta, her prince, but now it was quite convenient. It took her nearly five minutes to calm her self down, as not to be pestered with questions of concern, but she finally made it through the doorway. Vegeta was already asleep. This could be either a bad thing, or a good thing. She needed to find a way to tell him what was going on, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. It would leave a bad taste in her mouth as long as she lived, which may very well be four days, seven hours and. seven-teen minutes. Leaving Vegeta clueless could also be a good thing. He'd probably be hurt less, physically and emotionally, and he would also spend less time trying to protect her if he didn't know she was to be assassinated.

He rolled over and mumbled something incoherent, making Mitsuko jump in surprise. Mitsuko frowned. He looked so peaceful, so carefree. She couldn't bear to break his already torn heart, but she would feel guilty if she didn't clue him in. *Damn it. I guess I'll just have to think about it.too bad I was never much of a thinker.*

*************

It had been four days. Mitsuko, Vegeta, Raditz, and some other soldiers (yes, 'horny' will be going) were off to planet Nosnahaj. Mits still hadn't told Vegeta. He was actually happy in his life, and it was the first time things had been this great for him. *Ok, so I'll be murdered, my death will never be avenged, and.*

"Hey look, guys, its. 'Horny'! Hah!" 'Horny' glared at Raditz. "Hey, don't be looking at me like that. Its not my fault I'm not.horny 24/7!"

"Grow up," Horny rolled his eyes, balled his fist, and planted it right in Raditz's nose. Raditz staggered back a few inches, but returned with a quick left hook and considered the score to be even. He and his bloody nose strode off to catch up with the rest of the group, who were now just specks on the horizon. They, apparently, had been moving rather quickly. Horny caught up to Raditz, and the two of them finally caught up to the fleet, poking at eachother and quibbling all the way.

Vegeta and the rest looked down below the cliff they were standing atop of. "Well boys-" Mitsuko cleared her throat. "And Mits.Here we are. The capital of Nosnahaj."
A/N- Ok, I am deeply and truly sorry for not updating for 5 months. My best friend moved away, my cat died, I've been extremely depressed as of late. All it took to cheer me up was Scott McNeil and Kirby Morrow though ^.^. I'm back, and expect updates more often.
