*********Episode 16********** ***Porcelain Doll Blues part 2***
"My only plan was to escape or succumb to my destiny. Nothing would ever be the same either way. Unless I got rid of that damn braclet, I'd be the mate of some baka tyrant by the end of the night . . ."
Zucina entered the hall of her parents' mansion, her prison. A dark fire blazed in her eyes, filled with maliciousness and hatred for the men before her. There were four in all, each much older then she. Descending the steps like a princess to a ball, Zucina held her head high and mightily.
Upon seeing the beauty, the men gathered began setting their prices. The auction had begun from them merely gazing upon her splendor.
One bold member of the group, the only who didn't set his price immediately, strolled forward and circled the item for sale. The nobleman, whose name was Paragus, allowed his eyes to travel up and down the figure, inspecting every curve, every angle. Zucina remained still as the vulture continued his rounds. He flicked her hair to the side. "Cut, but more womanly," he commented. His eyes went to her substantial bosom. "Plump, admirable."
'Asshole,' she thought in disgust.
Paragus' hands finally moved in behind her. "Wide hips, good for child baring." He touched. A loud *SMACK* rang through the hall, silencing the auction. Paragus crashed into the table on the opposite side of the room.
Zucina's father, a small, slimy looking man, scurried over to his fallen guest. "My deepest apologies, Lord Paragus. My daughter is a spirited girl, but she has more power then I can handle. I had to restrain her ki with a 'Kistran Ail' Bracelet."
"If that's how she hits with the bracelet, she must have extraordinary power without!"
Zucina smiled to herself. 'That's it, that's it! The others are backing off! I've done it!'
Paragus stood up, massaging his red cheek and knocking his earring into the light. "I love it! So strong, yet elegant! Such an incredible lass! Its her destiny to bare a strong boy! I'll conquer a planet just to have her to bare my son!"
The other suitors stared a him in shock. Allowing a woman the free right to her own power was only given in the lower classes, and Paragus was a first class! Zucina snarled. Not training, just enough allowed to bare children. Sick jerk!
"That is not her only talent," the mother interrupted hastily. "My servant has taught her a special, exotic trick that no other Sayin woman can do! It adds to her appeal, and is entertaining!" "Really," asked one suitor.
"Let's see!"
"Princess," her father said forcibly. "Display your trick."
"Do I get a treat afterwards," she spat.
A vein convulsed in her father's temple, but Paragus grinned. "If you're good, I'll give you a treat, my dear."
Zucina turned to Aspa, who was preparing her string instrument. I can't, Aspa! I can't do this!*
Zucina, you must! Didn't you notice that man's earring?
Yeah, but-
Use it to pick the lock of your bracelet!
Zucina's eyes lightened in understanding. "Play the vulnerable song. If I'm going to do this, I'll do it right!" Zucina lifted her arms and began dancing seductively:
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed and it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand?
This world is forcing me to hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh... I've had it up to here!
She had made her way up to Paragus, and sat on his lap.
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
She pick-poketed the earring from his ear, pretending to caress him.
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things that I fear
'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive late at night
I'm just a girl, Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes
She put her hands behind her back and picked the lock frantically, moving her hips to draw attention away from her hands.
I'm just a girl, Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh... I've had it up to here!
She threw her bracelet away and powered up such a huge aura, it broke through the second floor ceiling. The Sayins were knocked back.
Oh... am I making myself clear?
In the midst of her father's cursing, Zucina took off. One of the moronic Sayins commented, "Wow! What a show" Zucina soared through the air, jubilant in her escape, and changed the lyrics of the song.
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that they'll let me be!
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb made me worry so
I'm just a girl, fuck my destiny!
I won't succumbed to their rules so I'll go
I'm just a girl, my apologies
I'm glad that I've become burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Living large, there's no comparison
Oh... I've had it up to!
Oh... I've had it up to!
Oh... I've had it up to here

Sprouta stumbled out of the back door of Ancho's Bar. She giggled as her lover chased after her. The tall Sayin, handsome in face and stature, pinned her playfully to the wall. "So, you think you can escape me, my devilish vixen," he asked in a drunken tone.
Sprouta giggled harder. "Oh, lieutenant! You're sooo . . ."
But exactly what he was, she never said. She gasped in surprise as Zucina, exhausted from traveling for a full day without food or rest, staggered out of the shadows. The couple half stood to get a better look at her, suddenly sober.
The male gasped in surprise. "Zuni-chan!?!"
Zucina raised her head weakly. "Help me, Cole-kun!"
Cole laughed heartily at his pupil as she ate her fourth portion of food. They were in Cole's apartment house, and Zucina lay in his bed, neatly bathed and rested.
"Its not funny, dearest," muttered Sprouta. She brushed the girl's hair as she ate. "The poor thing has been through a lot, and she may get arrested for it."
Cole didn't stop. "I just can't get over your song and dance! Man! The look on your father's face must have been sweet! Wish I was there!!"
Zucina took a breath from her scarfing. "So, you found a mate, did you?"
Sprouta blushed. Cole grit his teeth and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I, uh, hehe, was gonna ask her tonight if-" "YOU WERE!?!?!"
Sprouta grabbed Cole in a surprisingly bone-crushing hug. "OH, GODDESS!!!! I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!! I'M SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!"
It was Zucina's turn to start laughing. "Good luck and best wishes to you, Cole-kun!"
Cole, whose face turned a nice shade of blue, choked, "Th-thanks . . . Zuni-cha . . . 'preciate it . . ."
After a couple more minutes, and Cole's second wind, he asked, "Now what are you planning to do?"
Zucina paused in mid-bite. "I . . . uh, never thought of that!"
Sprouta and Cole face-vaulted. "You didn't huh?" "You can crash with me," Sprouta offered.
Zucina folded her napkin and set her fork down. "Thank you kindly, but I don't wish to impose any further."
An anime drop formed on Cole's head. "Zucina, please cool it with the prim and proper crap. If you're gonna hide, you've gotta go to the last place they're gonna look."
"And that's how I ended up here," Zucina finished. "Cole-kun believed it was the least conspicuous place. And now that I'm posing as a boy named Terrack, I won't be found by the cops!"
Tora stared at her in amazement. "Wow! You are one hard bitch!"
"Thanks . . . I guess . . ."
Bardock smirked. "Fine, we'll keep your secret. Good to know Cole is still lookin' out for us, ne?"
"Yeah." There was an awkward pause. "Well, guess we're roomies, too!"
"That's right," said Tora, nose starting to bleed. "We sleep right across the way from a girl!! Score!!"
*SMACK* Tora's cheek had a deep red hand imprint.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
Hey! Tora here again! Man! This bitch is something else! She's only been here a week and she's getting detention right and left! What!?! Now she's provoking Nipper! Is she CRAZY!?!?
