though its technically been 20 years now, since the day Vegeta-sei was destroyed, here on this planet we have only aged 10 years. My gift has also been refined in a way, when I feel their pain I can see into their mind, its so strange to know someone's innermost thoughts and feelings without ever meeting them

She closed her eyes trying to relax before she left her place.

why am I even going again?

"Because I am expected to," she answered aloud sighing heavily

She made her way to the celebration party, though she couldn't remember what it was for and it didn't really matter either way to her she wasn't in the mood for a social gathering.

I wonder if he'll even show she hadn't seen much of him, since she had to train under Gwyllion. She shivered in the warm evening air.

"nine years" she whispered, during that time her simple dislike of Gwyllion turned into pure hatred especially after she over heard his conversation with Mokusei, his right-hand man, he was going on about he was to be king and not Vegeta or Ria, she couldn't be a king since she was female so who ever she mated would be king.

I won't mate with that bastard even if he were the last Saiyan in the universe I will kill him first!

Regaining control over her anger she entered the extravagant ballroom. She had dressed in a dark green dress with a simple V-neck and slits on either side, so she had more freedom to move, the sleeves stopped just at her shoulders. Though the dress did compliment her very well she still hated having to wear a dress. She scanned the room and spotted Aine who had Ryoh just behind her, she made her way over to them smiling.

"Having fun so far?" She greeted

"Of course! I love this stuff don't you Hun?" she purred looking at Ryoh, who blushed at his new nickname. Ria was still in shock that Aine and Ryoh were mates since they're complete opposites Aine outgoing with quite the temper, which matched her flame red hair, tail and icy blue eyes. While Ryoh was quiet and shy with sky blue hair, tail and hazel eyes. Yet they made the sweetest couple.

"Ria!" the voice cut through her thoughts and she turned to see who had called her and was greeted by a smiling ebony eyed girl with sea green hair and matching tail that at the moment was swaying back and forth happily. Ria chuckled to herself

no doubt that Kento and Sage were not to far away arguing who would be dancing with her

"Boy problems again Inari?"

"Nope, not anymore" she smiled mischievously

"Oh really now?" Ria arched a brow looking at Inari who changed facial expressions as soon as Ria looked at her

"So where's Mouko? I thought he'd show," asked Inari

Classic Inari always changing the subject Ria shook her head and began to scan the room again while Aine, Inari and Ryoh became engrossed in some conversation to which she wasn't really interested in. She took this opportunity to escape the crowd and maybe clear her head. She followed the outer wall to a balcony that over looked a good portion of the vast forest and looming mountain range, even at night they were splendid. She sighed inwardly and leaned against the column just out of sight. She could hear a murmured voice buzzing in her mind and she closed her eyes.

why me?

He didn't really know why he came he hated these formal parties; he dressed in a white dress shirt and black slacks. A small voice in his thoughts reminded him exactly why he came; he knew she would be here. He made his way to the back of the room and leaned against the outer wall still scanning the crowd, he didn't see her, closing his eyes he tried to find her ki. She was close to him and he could feel that she was troubled. He opened his eyes and looked towards the balcony seeing her profile, sighing he wasn't sure how to deal with this anymore he could sense her constantly ever since that day in the training dome. He walked up to her and touched her arm, she didn't jump and looked at him smiling softly

"Hey Mouko, long time no see.....enjoying the party?"

He chuckled softly "Not really, you?"

"Iie"

"Then why don't we get out of here?" he smiled at her hoping she would take the offer, he really wanted to talk to her alone.

"I guess, where to?"

He gave her a wink and flew off, she chuckled softly and took off after him ever the playful one she thought as they flew quit a ways from the camp, Mouko landed near a small waterfall and Ria just next to him. He seemed distant and she began to reach out to him, but recoiled when he turned to her.

"You remember when you fell in the training room?"

"How could I forget" what is he getting at? she thought as their gaze met
