Chapter 3: Adventures in Royalty
*Isy's POV [So you don't get confused or anything, Vegeta's 13, and Isy's
11]*
I looked at Frieza in disbelief. Me, Vegeta's tutor?! I'm two years younger than him! What the...heck?!
Well, I guess it makes sense...I thought. I mean, all he does is train, and all I do is study. Hm...
I was brought out of my thought when Frieza almost yelled in our faces to get out. I hoped that we would never have to return. We basically raced each other to the space pods, and then blasted off towards the planet. I wondered what I was going to do. I hadn't seen Bardock or Radditz in at least six years...
~~~
We landed on the planet, and Vegeta immediately burst out of the space pod. I looked at him, puzzled and he responded,
"Well, I wanted to get off that very fucked-up ship."
I was at first taken aback by his language, but he had a point. I could tell that he was so angry about everything, but he had a right to be. I just prayed that we were free.
He began to float in the air to take off for the Vegetasei's main city. He looked at me strangely.
"I can't fly..." I said simply. He blanched again.
"What?! The daughter of Frieza doesn't know how to...FLY?!"
"Or fight, or use energy to attack people..."I added.
"O the gods... Well, maybe I can repay you by teaching you a few things then, and you know you could stand up to Frieza because he only beats you. After every time that happened, you would get stronger."
My eyes went wide.
"Wow, that would be...so GREAT! O, thank you Vegeta." He just grumbled something and landed on the ground.
"I guess we're walking then..."
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To the palace. You can stay there; I'll tell Father that it's okay." I just looked at him. This was going to get interesting...

*Vegeta's POV [a few months have already passed]*
***
Isy closed the door behind her, and crawled onto the bed, heading my way.
"O, Vegeta..."She whispered, moving until she was on top of me. She slowly slid my bodysuit off, and I eyed her in her usual yellow striped tube top and miniskirt, smirking. Since she had been on a ship almost all her life, she didn't wear the traditional Saiyan armor.
She moved her hand down to my now-hard throbbing muscle while she planted kisses on my chest and stomach, going all the way down. Once she got there, her tongue danced across it until she got to the tip. Then she placed her mouth around it.
"Suck it like a straw," I heard myself say.
I couldn't hold it in any longer, and I came in her mouth, hearing a low moan of pleasure and satisfaction escape her lips. I then flipped her over, removing all her clothes as I saw her visibly lick her lips.
I knew it was my turn.
I planted a long kiss on her lips then began at her throat, kissing softly at first then almost sucking her skin raw. I bit her between the neck and collarbone, feeling her blood flow into my mouth as she cried out.
I could feel her nails dig into my skin on my back, but it felt good. She had just wrapped her legs around my back giving me total access when...
***
I woke up in a sweat, panting very hard [no, don't think hard!]. This was the third time I had been having dreams like this in the last few months. Ever since Isy had begun tutoring me this had started. I had thought it was because she was the only female Saiyan close to my age that I knew. But I had to wonder...
Great... I thought. Now I'll have to go jack off in the bathroom again like last time. And I've already gotten the sheets wet...SHIT.
I headed towards the bathroom, hoping I would be able to wash my sheets this early in the morning by myself without anyone noticing.
I was almost fourteen, and Isy was twelve. The King had immediately been okay with Isy staying in the castle if it meant tutor. He was trying to push the academics before I left, and now he resumed that. He had tried to explain what had happened, but I was still kind of angry. I was even more upset when Father said that Frieza made frequent visits to the palace. I had told Isy, and she had almost passed out. We both knew what that meant, and the King had absolutely no idea.
I had even begun to tutor Isy on how to fight, fly, and use her energy. She was actually getting pretty good. The problem was that we did that early in the morning in the fighting arena so it wouldn't be crowded. Now I would have to face her.
~~~
*Isy's POV*
I waited patiently in the training arena for Vegeta to get here. He was usually good about being on time, but always grouchy when he got here. O well, nothing I hadn't seen before. The worst was when he threw a fit over not understanding his studies. He would even sometimes go to my quarters late at night asking for help on equations. I always made him leave before I got too tired.
I had been lucky these past few weeks though. Bardock had been super glad to see me, and Radditz always ended up hanging around the palace since he acted like Vegeta was his little brother. I occasionally saw Nappa, who I discovered was Vegeta's old trainer, though now Vegeta had surpassed him. They still had the occasional fun bout, and I would watch. I could even get Nappa to help me with my kata.
But the one person who puzzled me the most, was a female Saiyan warrior who I saw walking around the palace. She looked about my age (but I later discovered she was two years older), and she was always at the cafeteria the same time as myself. I had finally worked up the courage to ask her who she was, and I discovered that she helped around the palace. She wanted to become a soldier once she was old enough, and her name was Osai.
~~~
Vegeta finally arrived with Nappa following close behind. I had finally taken up a seat at the table and chairs near the window at the door. Vegeta explained that they were going to do a demonstrative battle today and I was supposed to watch.
They began the fight and at first it was pretty exciting. I couldn't help it though, once I started to get bored. I then noticed Osai walk in. She came and sat next to me, focusing on the fight. Then we started talking, and getting to know each other better. When all of a sudden...
...a blast headed our way, and we saw Nappa on his back on the ground. He groaned as he sat up, but he was turned to face us, totally staring at Osai. I couldn't suppress a giggle as I realized he had been SO busy staring that he had forgotten about the fight.
The blast hit the window near us, but everything else was okay. Vegeta decided that it was time to stop the fight, and he stalked away, dragging poor Nappa with him. Nappa tried to say hi, but Vegeta started flying before they left the arena. Osai just glared in their direction, oblivious to the fact that that was the Prince.
Later when we were studying, Vegeta said that I shouldn't let anyone else in while we're training because Nappa can't focus. I ended up laughing, but agreed so Osai only talked to me at lunch.
~~~
In the next few months I turned thirteen, and began having a blast with my new powers. Frieza had stopped with the frequent visits to the palace for a while. Everything was going good for a couple of months until one day...
"The Royal Ball shall be held for the Prince's 15th birthday!!!" I saw Vegeta gawking at the new banner outside his door. He hated large announcements like that on his behalf. I just laughed and told him that it would be fun, and he would get to practice his dancing skills. I nearly had to sprint/fly out of his quarters before he barbequed me with a blast.
~~~
I searched desperately through my closet looking for something to wear. The King had said that anyone could attend if they dressed up appropriately. Vegeta groaned, realizing that it was formal, and I just made a face because I didn't possess such clothes. So here I was looking through my quarters for something, when I heard a very loud knock on the door.
"It's open!" I yelled.
I heard the door open and heard Nappa walk in.
"Um...hi, Isy. I was wondering...you know that girl you were talking to when we were fighting that one day?"
"Yes, Nappa. Her name is Osai. If you're interested she IS going to the ball. And...my GOD! What is that in your hand?!"
"O! Sorry! Here, it's for you. I was told to deliver it for the King. But I don't think that the King requested it."
"Why, Nappa! It's beautiful! But, what do you mean?"
"I think it's from...the...the....Pr-Vegeta."
"I just stared at the absolutely gorgeous long, flowing gown in his hand. I approached him, walking halfway around the dress, still staring. He offered it, and I picked it up, my eyes as wide as dinner plates.
"N-Nappa...Are you suuure?"
"Yup! Go ahead, try it on...I'll tell you what I think."
I lifted an eyebrow.
"No, thank you, Mister I-can't-stop-staring-at-Osai... I'll try it on later," I said, hands on my hips. His mouth just dropped open, while he thought of a good comeback. He decided against it, realizing he had been figured out, and left the room just shrugging.
My eyes moved across the almost glowing material. It was the most beautiful piece of clothing I had ever seen. I held it up, eager to try it on. It was a deep purple iridescent taffeta material but it was lined with...with...were those...DIAMONDS?! It had wide straps that narrowed until it connected to the top, which was designed almost to match armor(but not quite). It was a two-piece, with a second set of straps falling off my shoulders. It came with its own set of gloves, and the skirt had a slit all the way up to the thigh. I then realized how low the top was cut. Vegeta's idea, all right.
There was a short cape behind it, with lacing all the way down in the back. It had a beautiful bow tying it on the bottom, and it looked absolutely lovely. My eyes remained wide, and now my jaw dropped. I then tried it on, and realized that it was a perfect fit. I nearly choked with excitement; the ball was tonight.
~~~
I hoped that the gift I was bringing tonight was okay. I mean, I didn't know what everyone else was getting the Prince, but I prayed mine was one of a kind. I had realized that the Vegetasei crest the King and Prince wore were sterling silver, so I had gone to a gold smith to have a gold one lined with diamonds made for Vegeta. I just hope Frieza didn't realize that I had used his bargaining money for it. I'd like to see the look on Frieza's face if he discovered the price...
I left my box on the table with the rest of the gifts. Vegeta would open them before the ball even begun. I hope that my gift would be accepted well. I realized in Saiyan tradition, that if they didn't like their gift they chucked it out the window...imagine the look on MY face if that happened....HAH!
~~~
Since Vegeta had been opening gifts I hadn't seen him. The dancing was about to begin, but first everyone had to be announced. They usually did ladies first, and then the men in the army, but the King and Prince sat at the head of the room until the dance began. I was kind of nervous since I had never done this before. I heard that you had to walk to the center all by yourself, and bow (or something) then walk to the side. I hoped that I wouldn't trip in my new heels.
When it was my turn, I accomplished the walking and bowing with ease. However, I made a point not to look at Vegeta. I didn't want to see the look on his face once he realized I had worn the dress.
~~~
After everyone had been announced, I sighed in relief thinking the dancing would begin. I had even spotted Radditz and Bardock in their finest armor. However after all the Saiyans had entered, I was horrified to hear that there was one more announcement...for Frieza. I quickly hid myself in the crowd, and I could now see Vegeta go pale. I don't think he wanted any present Frieza had to give him...
Frieza walked down the aisle, swishing his tail, a devilish smile on his face. The King walked into the backroom behind the throne to disgrace his presence, and Vegeta just...well...he just...stared, I guess. I don't know though because all I could do was glare at Frieza, afraid of what he might do. But I could fight him now, couldn't I?
The ball soon resumed, and I tried to ignore Frieza's presence as best I could. When the dancing began, I quickly took up Radditz and began waltzing across the room.
"Why are we moving so fast Isy?"
"Because Radditz, first off, I'm trying to see where Frieza is, and secondly, I'm trying to avoid him."
"Oh, so you want to know where he is, so you're where he's not? Um...I'm confused..."
"Don't tie your brain in knots, silly!"
"Ehe, I'll try."
That's when I saw a figure come up behind Radditz and tap him on the shoulder. I gasped realizing exactly who it was.
Vegeta.
"May I, Radditzu?"
"Of course your Highness...Here, she's all yours!"
"Radditz!" I hissed.
"What? I can't keep you all to myself! And plus, he's the birthday boy!"
"Radditz!" Vegeta and I both said in unison.
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry, but I'll go get something to eat now." He conveniently stepped out of Vegeta's way and headed to the food. It was quite typical for him to go eat when the situation got...dare I say...just a little weird.
So there I was with Vegeta, the Prince who had just asked to dance with me.
"Vegeta, I..."
"Just dance, woman, I'll talk to you later, and I know what you're thinking...It's okay, I'll avoid him."
I breathed a sigh of relief, then started breathing shallow again when I saw it-I looked at his armor and there it was, pinned on his shoulder in place of his own crest-my gift.
"Vegeta, wow...I...I didn't know it was that great."
"What are you talking about Isy?" He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face.
"The crest on your shoulder...That was...my gift." For the first time that night I looked him straight in the eye.
"And that dress mine..."He responded coolly.
I smiled at him, a flush coming to my cheeks. By now the music had slowed down, and we were almost at a standstill, just talking.
"Let's go outside." Vegeta said, leading the way. He took my hand, and I followed, not resisting him.
We found our way to the balcony, and both leaned on it, looking out into the city, and up into the sky, at the stars.
"To think of all those conquered planets..."He muttered slowly.
"Yes..."I breathed, unsure of what else to say.
"I'm glad you wore the dress."
"It's all I had to wear." I smirked at him.
"Isy, I..."
"Yes, Vegeta?"
Just then, we heard the door open behind us, and I turned around. To look straight into the eyes of...
Frieza.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything, my children. Oh, and, happy birthday Vegeta." His purple lips curled into a small smile, unable to hide the pearly white razors he had for teeth.
"Frieza..."Vegeta breathed.
"My little ouji, surely you're having a fine time at your party? If not, I can make ever so much more fun..."He chuckled to himself, and Vegeta visibly slinked away from him, towards me.
I put my hand on his shoulder, ready to turn the other way, and bolt for the door-anything to get away from that monster. However, I knew that it was to late to avoid confrontation-it had begun.
"Frieza, what do you want?"
"I want you, my little prince." A simple reply, considering.
"Meet me in my quarters in the palace tonight, alone, unclothed." With that he turned and walked back into the room, the crowd.
Those last few words chilled the both of us.
"Vegeta, we have to do something..."
"No, I'll just face him alone like I've always done. I don't want anyone to know."
"Vegeta?"
"Yes?"
"I know."
"Then you are the only one who can stop this." And with that, he too vanished back into the crowded hall, leaving me outside, distraught and alone. It was the last time I saw him at the party.
I slowly walked back into the room, laughing, dancing, and music ringing in my ears.
"Isy!" Radditz cried, running up to me, almost frantic.
"What is it?"
"I...I have a brother!" He cried. This statement being totally unexpected; I didn't looked half as confused as I felt.
"My mother was expecting for some time now, but I didn't know that it had happened until a few minutes ago. Father says that she was on a near by station and went into labor. She had the baby last night. Bardock and I both think you should be his christened-sister, and his name is Kakarotto."
"Wow, Radditz, that's great! That means we'll be siblings!" I gasped, as I flung my arms around him. That means that I would have more time to spend on the planet than ever before. That meant that I could get away from Frieza.
"Thank you..."I whispered in his ear.
I looked at Frieza in disbelief. Me, Vegeta's tutor?! I'm two years younger than him! What the...heck?!
Well, I guess it makes sense...I thought. I mean, all he does is train, and all I do is study. Hm...
I was brought out of my thought when Frieza almost yelled in our faces to get out. I hoped that we would never have to return. We basically raced each other to the space pods, and then blasted off towards the planet. I wondered what I was going to do. I hadn't seen Bardock or Radditz in at least six years...

"I can't fly..." I said simply. He blanched again.

"Or fight, or use energy to attack people..."I added.

"My little ouji, surely you're having a fine time at your party? If not, I can make ever so much more fun..."He chuckled to himself, and Vegeta visibly slinked away from him, towards me.
I put my hand on his shoulder, ready to turn the other way, and bolt for the door-anything to get away from that monster. However, I knew that it was to late to avoid confrontation-it had begun.
"Frieza, what do you want?"
"I want you, my little prince." A simple reply, considering.
"Meet me in my quarters in the palace tonight, alone, unclothed." With that he turned and walked back into the room, the crowd.
Those last few words chilled the both of us.
"Vegeta, we have to do something..."
"No, I'll just face him alone like I've always done. I don't want anyone to know."
"Vegeta?"
"Yes?"
"I know."
"Then you are the only one who can stop this." And with that, he too vanished back into the crowded hall, leaving me outside, distraught and alone. It was the last time I saw him at the party.
I slowly walked back into the room, laughing, dancing, and music ringing in my ears.
"Isy!" Radditz cried, running up to me, almost frantic.
"What is it?"
"I...I have a brother!" He cried. This statement being totally unexpected; I didn't looked half as confused as I felt.
"My mother was expecting for some time now, but I didn't know that it had happened until a few minutes ago. Father says that she was on a near by station and went into labor. She had the baby last night. Bardock and I both think you should be his christened-sister, and his name is Kakarotto."
"Wow, Radditz, that's great! That means we'll be siblings!" I gasped, as I flung my arms around him. That means that I would have more time to spend on the planet than ever before. That meant that I could get away from Frieza.
"Thank you..."I whispered in his ear.
