Chapter Two: Coming Up With a Plan
Buruma ran to catch up to Vejiita; panting by the time she reached him. "You could have waited or at least walked slower!" she snapped.
He gave her a dangerous glare. "Do not speak to me, Onna," he hissed quietly, walking angrily down the large red hallway.
She repressed the urge to scream at him and swallowed the lump in her throat. She really ought to learn to control her temper better, especially when she was frightened. Kami, did that man frighten her! Glancing at Vejiita nervously, she tried to start up a conversation. "So... you guys have a treaty with Furiza or something?"
Glaring at her for a moment, he finally growled, "Or something."
She struggled to keep up with him as he stalked down the hallway, until she had enough. "Damn it, Vejiita, would you slow down!? And you could at least be polite to me!" she screeched. Slapping her hand over her mouth, she gasped. When would she learn?! He could kill her with a mere thought and here she was yelling at him to be nice?!
Stopping, he swung around and scowled at her. "If you weren't so slow-"
"If you weren't such a jackass!"
He growled and stalked over to her while Buruma backed up nervously. "Shut up," he hissed. "I have no qualms about killing you." He turned and started to walk back down the hallway, but at a slower pace than before. Hiding a grin behind her hand, she dropped her questions deciding that he wasn't much of a talker - for a whole two seconds.
Unable to stand the silence, she began to question him again. "So, um... what's your universe like?"
Raising an eyebrow, he gave her a familiar holier-than-thou look that she had grown to despise from watching it on the television. "What am I to tell you, idiot? I have nothing to compare it to!"
Buruma glared at him, snapping, "Well, in mine you're dead, for one."
He snarled, his pace picking up again. "Impossible. I am one of the most powerful warriors in the universe, and no one from your pathetic, weak world could defeat me!"
Rolling her eyes, Buruma just ignored him, muttering a soft "whatever," under her breath. It would do no good to argue with him about something that - hopefully - wouldn't happen. He didn't seem all *that* bad in this universe. A bit arrogant and rude, but so far, the worst he's done was threaten to kill her.
Buruma fell silent as they walked, finally giving up on getting any sort of conversation out of the grumpy Saiyajin no Ouji. But his curiosity got the best of him and he demanded, "And who is this warrior that supposedly beat me?"
Remembering her dear friend was still painful for Buruma, and she thought of her Son-kun with a small smile on her face. Hearing a growl - and realizing that the prince was a very impatient person - she watched some of the odd Saiyajin walk past them. A familiar face caught her attention... "Son-kun..." she breathed, not believing her eyes.
Hearing a low growl, Buruma caught herself, and shrieked, "Son-kun!" and bolted down the hall towards him.
The Saiyajin turned around and watched the strange blue-haired female run straight up to him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly in confusion.
"Son-kun!"
He blinked. "Son-kun? I'm sorry, but do I know you?" She frowned, realizing that he might not know her with it being a different universe and all. "My name is Bardock. Perhaps you've mistaken me for my son?"
Taking a closer look at the Saiyajin in front of her, she could have smacked herself. He was a bit older than her friend would be, a scar on his cheek, and this man wasn't as large in the chest area as her beloved friend. "Son?"
He nodded. "I have two sons. Radditzu and-"
"Radditzu! You're Radditzu and Son-kun's dad!" she exclaimed.
Cocking his head at her, he replied, "Well, I don't know about this 'Son-kun' business, but my other son's name is-"
"Something like Kakarotto, yes?"
Nodding, his lip twitched. "You know Kakarotto?"
"Onna, what the hell are you doing?!" growled Vejiita from just behind her. She glanced at him and stuck out her tongue. A bit childish, but the look on his face was priceless. He blinked once in complete shock and his eyes widened. And she could have sworn she saw his ears turn a slight shade of pink. He was blushing!
Turning back to the Saiyajin before her, she resumed her questioning. "Is he on Vejiita-sei?" she asked, suddenly worried he might have been sent to Chikyuu, like in her universe.
Bardock nodded. "Yes."
"Can I see him?" she asked, trying to stifle her growing excitement.
Vejiita snarled, interrupting them. "You may see the low-class warrior later!" he hissed. "Let's go, Onna."
Sighing, she nodded, glancing back at Bardock. "I'd like to see your son soon, if possible," she requested politely.
Shrugging, Bardock replied, "I'll inform him."
She smiled her thanks and turned away to follow the impatient Saiyajin no Ouji back down the hallway. Both were silent as they walked towards what was to be her new home for a while. Buruma was lost in thought, mulling over the news that her best friend wasn't dead here. However, she was a bit worried how he turned out, now that he was truly a Saiyajin and had not been raised on Earth.
Wait...
He was on Vejiita-sei, and *not* Earth? Did that mean... she wasn't really in the past, but in another...universe? Would Furiza come to Earth in this one? Would he blow up Vejiita-sei?
Vejiita's silence, however, was because he didn't want to lower himself to conversing with a weak human female, more than anything else.
~~~
A soft knock on the large doors interrupted Buruma's happy explorations of the gigantic, well-furnished rooms she had been given. She sighed and padded over to the door, opening it with a small press of a button. Blinking, she eyed the large Saiyajin in front of her. "Yes?"
"You are to come see Ou-sama right away," he told her gruffly.
She cocked her head at him. "What's your name?"
He blinked. "Why?" he asked suspiciously.
Shrugging, she replied, "I don't like being forced to call people 'hey, you!'"
Rolling his eyes at her odd behavior, he answered, "Suiito."
She smiled and motioned him to precede her down the hallway. "Well, Suiito, lead the way."
Grunting, he turned and walked off, leaving Buruma to follow him. She sighed in irritation. Did all Saiyajin have to do that? Muttering about impatient and rude monkey-tailed warriors, she stalked after the burly Saiyajin.
Within a few minutes, Buruma once again found herself outside of the large, somewhat primitive, doors to the throne room. Suiito lead the way into the large room after pushing open the door. Buruma blinked, and walked angrily after the large warrior, because his bulk hid her view of the room. After an absurdly long walk down the length of the room, he finally stopped in front of the throne, made some sort of movement with his arm, and stepped aside.
Gasping in shock, her eyes landed immediately on the frowning face of her deceased friend.
"Son-kun!" she exclaimed, leaping at the surprised Saiyajin. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she squeezed as hard as she could, forgetting that this wasn't the Son-kun she knew and loved. But, just the same, his arms came around her, catching her, and he embraced her back. When she finally stopped sniffling into the crook of his neck, he let her down and cocked his head curiously at her as he rubbed his hand on the back of his neck in true Son Goku fashion.
"Uh, who are you?"
She sighed. "Damn, I forgot. I'm Buruma, Son-kun."
"Son-kun? Um... my name is Kakarotto."
Nodding, she stepped away from the Saiyajin. "I apologize, I guess," she muttered irritably. "It's just that you used to be my best friend at home."
Grinning at her, he shrugged uncomfortably. "That's okay."
Glancing up at the throne, she found her eyes drawn to the Saiyajin no Ouji standing beside the large King. Her brow furrowed slightly at his enraged expression and the glare he was leveling at Kakarotto. As if sensing her gaze on him, he turned his fierce glare to her, and their eyes met for a moment. To her shock, he gave one of his half smirks, and then looked towards his father.
"Buruma," the King began, "I'd like you to explain exactly how Furiza destroyed us and why would he be so stupid as to let the strongest survive."
Sighing, the blue-haired woman nodded. "Apparently, you were ordered to give Furiza your son when he was little and when you started a revolt to get him back, Furiza killed you and then destroyed the planet."
"Who defeated me in your universe?" Vejiita demanded suddenly.
She smirked. "He did," she said, pointing at Kakarotto, whose eyes widened in surprise.
"Me?"
"Him!" Vejiita said at the same time, enraged. "He's weak!"
Shaking her head, she pointed out, "It's a different universe than this one, and he trained extensively for your arrival."
"He's just a soft-hearted fool!" Vejiita snapped.
"Who's this, Vejiita-sama?" a soft feminine voice interrupted from behind the royal pair. Buruma cocked her head curiously as a muscular, but oddly beautiful female Saiyajin walked up from behind the King. The female glanced at Buruma curiously before turning her gaze to the King.
Vejiita-ou rubbed his temple irritably. "You shouldn't be here, Kyuuri."
The female smiled at the King and patted his shoulder before glancing at Vejiita-ouji. "Vejiita."
Rolling his eyes, he grunted out a quick, "Mother."
Blinking, Buruma looked closer at the strange female, and realized there was a slight resemblance. His eyes were definitely from his mother, as was his mouth and height. She was a very tiny Saiyajin.
King Vejiita growled something under his breath before nodding towards Buruma. "This, Kyuuri, is Buruma. She's a guest here for the time being. Buruma, this is Kyuuri, my mate and Queen of Vejiita-sei."
Nodding politely, Buruma smiled. "Nice to meet you, Kyuuri-sama," she greeted respectfully. It was one thing to annoy Vejiita by not addressing him respectfully, but the Queen's almost gentle manner made Buruma immediately like her.
"Likewise, little female," she said, smiling. She walked past her son and sat on the arm of the throne next to her mate. "What's going on?"
"Mother, go away. This is none of your business," Vejiita snapped irritably.
King Vejiita moved to cuff his son upside the head, but Vejiita blocked it easily. "Respect your mother, brat."
Rolling his eyes, Vejiita glanced back at the assembled group. "How do you plan to return to your world?" he demanded of Buruma.
Frowning thoughtfully, she ran her list of options through her mind. Suddenly, she gasped and her eyes snapped to focus on Vejiita's. She smirked, secretly pleased that she caused Vejiita's frown to twitch slightly in amusement. "I need to go to Earth."
The entire group blinked. "What?"
Nodding, she paced slightly in front of the royal family. "There is something there that would be very, very useful in getting me back."
"Like what?" Vejiita demanded suspiciously.
"Brat, be nice," Kyuuri scolded lightly, turning her dark eyes to Buruma. "What's on Earth?" she asked softly.
Snapping her head up, she grinned. "Why, the dragonballs of course."
"The what?" Kakarotto asked.
"Dragonballs. It's just something I can use to go back home," she told them, wary of letting it out exactly what the dragonballs could do. After all, they were the whole reason Vejiita and later Furiza ventured to her world.
"I see," the King stated thoughtfully.
"Well, then. You must travel to Earth," the Queen put in suddenly.
Both Vejiita's gaped at the Queen.
Nodding, she continued, "My son could accompany you, as well as these three warriors here," motioning towards Suiito, Kakarotto, and Bardock.
King Vejiita growled. "Kyuuri, what the hell are you doing?"
She grinned. "Helping of course. I am Queen, Vejiita, even if you only like to think of me as your bedmate," she accused lightly.
The entire room fell silent for a long moment before Vejiita suddenly made a choking sound. "Do you two mind?!" he snapped.
"Not at all, Vejiita," she said, turning to her son. "When you find a mate, you'll understand."
He snorted. "I'm not looking for a mate now, Mother."
"Why not?" the Queen demanded.
"Females are below my notice at the moment. And only when I'm ready to take the throne and produce an heir will I look for one."
Kyuuri cuffed her son, irritably. He just smirked at her as she connected, not even bothering with blocking it. "It seems you have need of a new lesson, Vejiita. I hope you bond, Vejiita. Then we'll see how 'below your notice' they are."
The Saiyajin no Ouji scowled. "I'd blast myself before I allowed myself such a weakness." He smirked suddenly. "Besides, it's so rare I doubt it would happen."
Kyuuri rolled her eyes, poking him lightly in the chest. "Oh, we'll see now, won't we?" she said mysteriously before turning away from the enraged Prince. "Well, Vejiita?" she asked, addressing her mate. "Does that sound like a plan?"
The King waved his hand, "Fine. Bardock, Kakarotto, Suiito, and Vejiita will accompany the human to Earth."
The Queen suddenly smiled mischievously and leaned towards her husband, nipping him lightly on the nose, as he scowled angrily at her for the affection. The Prince looked disgusted and turned his head from his parents, accidentally catching Buruma's eyes. A long moment passed before the Queen's voice interrupted them.
"Actually, my dear mate, you and I are going with them."
"WHAT!?"
~~~
AN: First, Suiito is a Saiyajin I made up taking the word Suiitokoon, meaning sweet corn (thinking that it's actually the Japanese pronunciation of the English words, but hey!) and using Suiito instead. *Grins* And Kyuuri is Japanese for Cucumber, and again, she's mine.
Lovies!
