Forever Dormant
Chapter 7 Leektra's Predicament
Everyone slept well that night, even Vegeta, and the next morning as saiyans always do the prince and the elite were up early. It was Leektra's turn to test Vegeta. The two went to the gravity machine and began to fight.
"Don't go easy on me just because you are a super saiyan Vegeta. I have to train too, and I get a turn to see your abilities." Leektra told Vegeta.
"All right, if you're sure you are ready for them." Vegeta said mockingly.
"Let's get to it then." Leektra finished.
She launched at him.
***********
Meanwhile…
In Hell there was a saiyan watching from his post from his small looking glass for the earth. Because he was so strong and had more a intelligent mind than most saiyans, thanks to his scientist of a father, he had become a warrior to keep rebellious demons at bay from attacking the king or escaping.
For the reason of such a high rank he was given certain privileges. He was allowed to watch how his little brother and prince were doing in the living world. It was a privilege and a punishment. He could watch his brother and know he was safe as well as his prince. However the thought that he could never have what they did ate at him.
He would never pass his genes on to live for coming generations. He would never again see the daylight and how invigorating it feels to be alive. He would never find love. Yes something a saiyan hates to admit they want. But however much one denies it, one always longs for it. Some call it strong to fall into it, others call it weak, and yet others don't care as long as they have it. But no matter how much you try to dodge the obvious everyone longs for one thing, and that one thing is love, the one thing he would never have.
A saiyan watches through the looking glass at his post.
***********
Vegeta once again had Leektra against the ropes, but he did as she said and didn't go easy on her. This was what she got.
Leektra got up and wiped the blood away from her lip. "God, how am I going to be any help if you beat the crap out of me before we get to the battle ground?" She questioned almost sounding surprised.
"What do you want? First you said not to go easy on you and now you are disappointed I didn't treat you like a lady? Stop contradicting yourself. I only hit you twice." Vegeta stated back as-a-matter-of-factly.
"I was kidding. Duh. Don't you know what sarcasm is?" Leektra countered.
"I don't usually use it when sparring." Vegeta snapped back.
"You should, it lightens the mood a bit." Leektra said as if she was a doctor giving a prescription.
"Are we going to fight or argue about how to act when you spar?" Vegeta said trying to change the subject. This conversation was pointless.
"I don't know, what do you want to do?" Leektra asked back snobbishly.
Vegeta opened his mouth to say something but his stomach suddenly said it for him. Followed by Leektra's doing the same as if in a round of row row row your boat. Their expressions didn't change, but both of their complexions became a lovely shade of rosy pink as their tummies complained.
Vegeta interrupted the uncomfortable silence, "I want to eat."
"Me too." Leektra agreed.
So the two saiyans went to the kitchen where Bulma was cooking breakfast.
Leektra thought to herself as they walked there, At least he isn't sexist, most saiyan males would think me a wimp because I am a girl.
They sat down and Bulma brought their plates over. For breakfast they had burnt scrambled eggs, burnt toast, burnt something that looked remotely like bacon, and burnt orange juice. Leektra found herself wondering how the hell the woman possibly burnt the orange juice, but then decided she would rather not know.
Everyone ate and towards the end of the meal Bulma finally managed to snag Leektra into a conversation.
"We should get you some earth clothes Leektra." Bulma stated cheerily as if she weren't upset about another adult, unmated, and not related to her husband, female in the house.
"Why?" Leektra replied puzzled, her voice tainted with a hint of bitterness.
"Come on, even Vegeta has some earth clothes," directing the next part at Vegeta she continued, "that he hardly ever wears. Still he has some."
Leektra thought about it and decided that as long as she was here, she should at least blend in with the human race. Besides, it might make her a little less easy to spot by Aspearga's spies.
"Alright." Leektra sighed exasperated.
"Oh goody, we are going to have so much fun with this!" Bulma chimed rather giddy.
You mean you're going to have fun with this. Leektra thought to herself.
************
Later the women went to the mall for their shopping expedition. How will this turn out? Vegeta wondered as he roamed the halls as if he was on sentry duty. Ah ha, he found his quarry.
Trunks was walking out of his room and was about to make a run for the door. Just then the teenage demi-saiyan was caught by the scruff of his Capsule Corp. coat.
"And where do you think you're going?" Vegeta asked, even though he already knew.
Trunks had to think of an excuse fast. He wanted to go to Goten's house to play video games but he was also on the end of his father's patients list. Training had somehow slipped his mind for the past week and his father wasn't happy. "I was…. going…to the library?" Trunks lied and flashed his father a very toothy grin.
"Try again." Vegeta said blankly.
So he tried again. "I was going to get a sandwich?" After saying this he gave his father another even bigger grin.
"Last chance." Vegeta bore down on him.
"I was going straight to the gravity machine." Trunks mumbled with a sullen face.
"Bingo." Vegeta said and let him go. "Training clothes now."
Trunks obeyed and went back in his room to get his training clothes.
How delightful it was to still be able to scare the crap out of his first offspring. Vegeta made sure that he was always at a higher power level than that half-ling. Even if he was his son, he still had to keep him in line as long as they both lived. It was however becoming increasingly difficult as the boy grew and showed even more of his potential. It gave Vegeta both pride and a little jealousy that he was so advanced at fighting at such a young age. The future version of his son actually reached super saiyan before his current timeline self had. Amazing what being a parent does to you.
************
Leektra was trying to escape Bulma but the blue haired woman just seemed to have a hiding place in every single one of the plants and benches around. Bulma said they would be there two hours tops and they ended up being there six hours and they still weren't done.
Leektra was trying to scuttle away again, but Bulma popped up from behind a bush and dragged her into another store. "Oh I know, how about this shirt and these pants, oh these shoes look nice." Bulma said more to herself than anyone else as she grabbed items for Leektra to try on and a few things for herself.
"Can we leave soon? I want to get back to training and this is no fun." Leektra complained.
"You can train later and this is as fun as earth gets." Bulma stated.
"I already have enough clothes to spend a month here without washing them and wearing dirty ones. Is this not enough?" Leektra whined.
"Why don't you go to a store of your interest and I will finish up my own shopping." Bulma suggested.
"Fine, works just perfectly." Leektra said.
Leektra walked off away from Bulma incase she changed her mind. She walked by a small area containing many items of her interest. A clothes/accessory store by the name of Hot Topic, an electronic store called Game Stop, and a store full of reading objects called Barns and Nobles. After shopping with Bulma for clothes she didn't know about the clothes store, but it seemed far more interesting than any of the other stores she had been to. She tried this shop entitled 'Hot Topic' first.
When she stepped in she noticed most of the items in this store were black. What was that human clothes style/somewhat religion again? It intrigued me but what was the name? Oh yes, Gothic. This store just reeked of the concept Goth but it was a good thing. There were interesting phrases on the shirts and many items in the store that caught her attention.
A person walked up to her and she got a little defensive. She got into her fighting stance and waited for the attack to come.
The person was a man about 6'2" with a nice build. He wore black pants with zippers and loose chains hanging off of them. He wore two shirts, one was fish net which covered his nice arms and the other on top of the first had a saying on it. It said, "You Shouldn't Let You're Mind Wander. It's much too small to be out on its own." His hair was short and gelled to be spiky. Also his hair was black with blue tips on the spikes. "Finding everything OK?" He said welcomingly. He looked at her with deep hazel eyes.
Noticing he wasn't going to attack her, she got out of her fighting stance. "Yes but perhaps you could inform me on some of the meanings of these items."
"Sure, what do you want to know?" He asked very happy with the idea that she wanted to learn about what some of these things were.
"What does this item mean?" she pointed to a spike choker with rings on it.
"That is a spike choker and it means bondage. Bondage is when you are at the mercy of another and you cannot move, you must trust the person holding you captive. Its like being in a straight jacket or something just as restraining." He gave the definition perfectly as if he had said it many times.
"I see, what is this and what does it mean?" Leektra directed her hand to a black fuzzy wristband with a red anarchy symbol on it.
"That is an anarchy symbol, and it represents the belief that there should be no government." He described briefly. "You have very good questions."
"Thank you, you have good answers. I believe I will purchase a few items from this place." Leektra stated as if he should be honored.
"Well that's good, take your time deciding, I'll be right here at the cash register if you need me." The young man told her.
"What might your name be so I can call you over should I need any help?" Leektra asked.
"It's Eoric, but you can call me Rick." Eoric said.
"I prefer Eoric, it is what you're name was at birth and should be worn with pride." Leektra stated.
"Really, well because I was so generous as to tell you my name, perhaps you would be so kind…" The boy said.
"I don't know if I should give my name out, especially to a human." Leektra said almost to herself but he could still hear it.
"Why, aren't you human? Oh I know, you're from outer space and you have come to earth on business involving the lost royalty of your almost extinct race." He said jokingly.
"How did you know that? Are you psychic? Answer me boy." Leektra said and pinned him to a mirror holding him up by the collar of his shirt.
"What? I was just kidding. Are you really an alien?" He went from joking to almost panicked. There was also no one else in the store so no one could help him.
Leektra stood there for a moment. Her eyes darting back and forth to examine his face expression. She still didn't fully believe he was not psychic. Maybe he had the talent and didn't know it. How else could someone pinpoint the possibility that quickly even if they were joking?
She said the next part slowly so he would hear and understand everything she was about to say lowering him little by little in the process, "Eoric, I am not human. I come from another planet but you are one of the very few humans who know that. You shall not utter one word of what we have talked about to anyone. If you do I will hunt you down like a dog and fry your ass."
He looked fine, in fact the boy might have been feeling pretty damn special that an attractive alien was telling him some secrets that almost no one else knew. He was getting to feeling a little cocky and asked a sensitive question. "How are you going to fry me?"
Leektra smiled but it wasn't a friendly smile more like just baring teeth. "Like this." She put her finger up to a mirror and hit it with a ki blast. The light bounced off the glass, then bounced off another mirror, went up to the ceiling, and then hit a ceiling light. The sparks from the light came down in a small shower.
Eoric stared at it in awe, until he realized it would most likely come out of his salary. Damn. He wasn't going to complain to her about it however. Definitely not to an alien who could shoot fire from her fingers.
"I get the point, you don't have to tell me your name and I won't give any of your information out to the public or even my friends." Eoric said wanting to get out of this little conversation.
"Alright, now go back to your position and wait for others who actually need help." Leektra ordered.
Eoric saluted her as if he were in the army and she was the drill sergeant. "As you command O' powerful one."
Leektra liked that, she liked it a lot. He wasn't bad looking either. She should go shopping more often.
