Yashi wasn't surprised to see Razelle, staring where King Oniramu was. She,
the hunter, never liked the maid. Razelle was a snob.
Razelle had sensed Yashi's presence and turned her head fully around to fully face Yashi. She grinned when she saw the three humans behind Yashi. "King Oniramu told us to kill the humans. I see you have failed just as always. Can you get anything right, sister?"
Yamcha's jaw fell. Sister? That freaky looking creature and this pretty woman are sisters? Yet, even if the freaky looking woman looked freaky, Oniramu must have favored her if he had always complained of Yashi. But how can Oniramu favor this one? She's more ugly than Yashi! He couldn't even stand to GLANCE at her, let alone look.
Yashi seemed to notice Yamcha's thoughts. She looked at him over her smooth shoulder and said, "Razelle was always the stronger one, even if she is younger than me."
Younger! If she's ugly now, how will she look when she's older? Hideous!? Yamcha grimaced and looked at Tien and Krillen. They seemed to be staring at Piccolo and Gohan.
"Let them go!" Krillen yelled and flew to help them get away, but Yashi's fist came straight up. Krillen's face collided into her fist, barely even moving her hand. Blood ran down his lips and chin from his nose. Krillen covered his face and screamed, "OW!"
"Yashi!" Yamcha yelled with surprise. She looked at him again, but this time her eyes held an evil purple glow. This wasn't the look she gave him when they were flirting. It was that look when she tried to kill Vegeta. "Yashi?"
"I was ordered to kill you. I have to kill you." She turned fully to him. Her eyes flashed mocking sadness at first. "I'm sorry I have to do this. But an order is an order!"
"Yashi! No!" Yamcha yelled when Yashi slammed her fist into Krillen's stomach. She lifted her leg over Krillen and brought her foot down. Krillen's back bent like a banana did as he flew to the ground without anyway to stop himself. Yashi pointed her finger at him. A little orange ball omitted from the tip of her finger, then it flew down just as Krillen disappeared into the trees. The last thing Yamcha heard from Krillen was a scream.
"Why you little—" Tien cursed and flew forward to fight Yashi. She easily dodged him and brought her knee up, kneeing him in the groin. Tien gasped as he floated in mid-air like a ball, hugging his stomach with pain. He tried to breathe. When he turned to look at Yashi, all he saw was a tentacle that wrapped around his neck. It was that freaky little creature pulling him towards her.
"Good job, Yashi." Razelle hissed. "But you have one more to go."
Yashi nodded and looked at Yamcha. Her eyes held no emotion but evilness. "Yashi?" Yamcha gasped. "Don't do this. You—"
Yamcha couldn't say anything else when she swung her foot and kicked him in the face. When he did flips in the air sideways, she appeared beside him and kneed him in the face when he faced the ground. He screamed with pain, but to her ears it was music. She grabbed the back of his head by his hair and yanked him back. She was going to enjoy this.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta smirked when he looked back at Oniramu. "Your pet dragon is pretty ugly. But he does take after his master, doesn't he?"
Oniramu glared at him. But later he smiled with a look that said he was going to win. "Say all you want, kid. Those will be the last words you will be able to say before you die today."
"I'm not going to fight that dragon." Vegeta growled. He hated being called a kid because of his height. Wasn't Krillen short, too? He sure did act like a kid too. "I'd rather find a worthier opponent. You aren't one either, but that woman you hold is mine. I want her back."
"She was never yours to begin with." Oniramu said. He held her tighter to him. He stared at Vegeta with an evil half-grin; two fangs exposed only, as he lied his face on her hair. He rubbed his face against hers. "So soft, she is. She's going to be mine with one single kiss only, and you will be gone from her thoughts forever."
Vegeta scowled. "I marked her, you idiot! Inside her is my baby growing!"
"It's a first that you actually noticed. As I remembered, you hit her and couldn't care less of the child." Oniramu was grinning fully. "With a single kiss, that child in her will be mine as well. I hated to use the kiss, but having her love me by her own free will was taking too long."
"What do you mean?" Goku asked.
"I have the power to kiss her and have her fall under my spell. She will love me and only me." Oniramu said simply.
Vegeta was confused. "If you had wanted her, why didn't you kiss her earlier?" But he hated to even think of that question.
"Because I wanted her love freely given to me by her own will. She is a strong woman, is she not? She's courageous, beautiful, magnificent in every way." Oniramu smelled her hair and closed his eyes with pleasure, taking the scent into his nose slowly to enjoy it. "She is everything I want."
"Let go of her!" Vegeta yelled. An energy ball formed in his gloved hand. "I will destroy you!"
Oniramu smiled. He moved Bulma to hold her by her waist. Her head fell limply on his bare strong shoulder while his chin rested on her soft smooth shoulder. "You want to kill her, too?" Vegeta's eyes widened and the ball in his hand disappeared. His hand fell to his side.
Oniramu grinned and then licked Bulma's neck. Vegeta stiffened and a low growled was heard deep in his throat. Goku placed his hand on Vegeta's shoulder. If Goku hadn't done that, Vegeta would have forgotten that he was standing there.
"Only one of you will fight me. The other will fight my pet dragon." Oniramu said. The gem on his forehead began to shine brightly has he grinned at them with malice. He began to glow with a black aura.
Vegeta gasped and his eyes widened. "Kakkarot, do you feel that?"
Goku nodded and gulped. "His power is growing immensely."
Indeed, Oniramu was getting stronger and stronger. He can hide his true power just like Vegeta and Goku. They both believed him to be weak. "Let me fight him." Goku suggested. "I can turn into a super saiy-jin."
Vegeta refused. "I will fight him. He is holding my woman. No one does holds what belongs to me."
Goku shook his head. "Vegeta! Now isn't the time to play hero!"
Vegeta looked at him with anger. "Shut up, Kakkarot. I'm fighting him. I don't think I can live with myself knowing that it wasn't me that saved Bulma. I want her to know that I did care and that I am trying to get her back. You fight that blasted dragon. And whatever happens to me, don't interfere. I take care of myself." Vegeta turned to Oniramu. "Ready to lose?"
"Never did, kid." Oniramu smirked. When he let go of Bulma, she didn't fall. She was held up by his power. He smiled at her sleeping form before turning to Vegeta. "This is the last day you will set your eyes on her."
Vegeta didn't say anything when he lunged forward to punch Oniramu. The king tilted his head to the side quickly without panic. As Vegeta passed him with a look of surprise, the king grabbed Vegeta's foot and twirled him around before throwing him down into the trees.
Goku watched sadly when Vegeta went down within lest than ten seconds. He sighed as he looked down at the dragon below that he was supposed to fight. The dragon didn't seem to have a huge amount of power. Maybe this will be easy.
But Goku was wrong when he threw an energy ball at the dragon. It's scaly skin reflected the ball back at Goku like a tennis ball hitting a racket with a faster speed than when it was thrown. Goku dodged his own energy ball only by a little. It grazed his cheek. Blood made a little trail down his cheek from the end of the cut. He looked at the dragon. His skin was very strong. It opened his mouth and blew out fire. Maybe it wasn't going to be easy.
When Oniramu went down to look for Vegeta, Oniramu didn't see Vegeta suddenly appear behind him. Vegeta clasped his hand together and slammed his fists into the back of Oniramu. With surprise, Oniramu was thrown forward. He spun around and held out his hand. Five little purple energy balls glow at the tip of his fingers. Little thin rays exited from the little glowing balls.
Vegeta was taken aback by the speed and only had time to protect himself. He crunched up into a ball and covered his face with his arms. The little rays grazed his shoulders, right cheek, and arms. Vegeta ignored the blood that spurted out of its opening.
The two men were at it. They didn't pause to take a breath or rest. There wasn't a second of them not fighting. They would fly and try to hit each other, and the impact would be so strong that it destroyed some trees and created craters. They were everywhere, punching, kicking, and blocking. They were moving so fast that they didn't have time to insult each other.
Goku and the pet dragon weren't fighting at all actually. As Goku sat on the dragon's head as if they were friends, the dragon and Goku watched the two people fight like there was no tomorrow. Vegeta's speed and strength impressed Goku. Maybe the training he's been having was like this: nonstop. His head followed their every movement from left to right, down and up. Even the dragon was able to track their power levels and watch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yashi watched her sister, Razelle, toy with the namek, the three-eyed demi- human, the little child, and the flirtatious human. She had given her sister Yamcha to play with.
Two tentacles were tightly wrapped around the captive's arms and legs, making them unable to move. Razelle was cruelly throwing them around, swinging them, turning them to make them sick. She turned to her younger sister and smiled freakishly. "Are you watching our King fight those weak saiy-jins?"
Yashi shook her head. "It isn't worth watching. I'm sure our King will win like he always does. Besides, no one can kill King Oniramu. This is his world."
Gohan heard this. He gasped. "What do you mean?" he was able to say that before the tentacles wrapped itself tighter around him. He screamed with pain.
Yashi turned to him with no emotion in her face. "King Oniramu created this world. This world is one with him. Whatever he says will be."
"But how can one creature such as him have his own world." Piccolo asked.
"To this day, even we don't know. He has lived for thousands of years. He was only in his mid-twenties when he became immortal and created this world in this universe, in this dimension. He destroyed my planet and took Razelle and me into this planet. That's all we know." Yashi sighed. "There are more planets he has destroyed that you humans will never see nor know of its existence. He kills for a living, destroys for life. It was a surprise to see him fall in love with a mere human of another dimension and planet. She has no power, no strength—"
"But he talks about her personality." Razelle interrupted. "He loves her for who she is, not what she is, Yashi."
The sister looked down. "I wonder if he has a weakness, a way to kill him."
"Yashi!" Razelle scolded. "Do not say that. Keep your thoughts to yourself. King Oniramu has a good hearing you know."
"But King Oniramu is too busy fighting to hear." Yashi shot back. She started to float around. "Suppose...he does die. What then? What will happen to us?"
Razelle was quiet. "We might have to go down with him. There is no other exit out. We and a few others that serve him are the only ones that weren't created by him. The people he created, the castle, this whole planet will die with him. And even if we don't die with the planet, we'll die in space with no air to breathe."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I love you.
In a deep depth of darkness, Bulma heard those words. But where? Where had it come from? This didn't sound like the voices of which Oniramu had placed in her head. Was it Vegeta?
I love you, too, Vegeta.
Bulma gasped. That was her voice. When had she said that...? Her thoughts flew to the time she and Vegeta made passionate love to each other. It was so sudden and so surprising. She had just broken up with Yamcha, and Vegeta came to comfort her. As they made love, they admitted their love for each other. She could never forget those words.
But what about Oniramu? Oniramu didn't only tell her about his love for her, but he also showed it. He was sweet, kind, and soft. He bought her clothes and everything. But Bulma didn't want jewelry or to be dressed up. And...sweet, kind, and soft men bore her. She wanted something different. She wanted someone strong, courageous. She wanted...Vegeta.
She began to hear things even in the darkness. She heard yells and screams of men fighting. She recognizes the voice of Vegeta as he struggled to fight. And the other man was no doubt Oniramu. But what was Vegeta doing here? Did he come to save her? Bulma thought about it more. Vegeta didn't show much love, but wasn't coming into a different world good enough to show love? He was actually fighting for her.
With renewed strength, Bulma was able to open her eyes. The first thing that greeted her was the pain in her head. Yes, she remembered. Oniramu had knocked her out. It was also him who had put thoughts into her head to see things that Vegeta has done to be so cold and full of hatred. But she looked past all that to find that Vegeta was not a cold person.
His life was full of fighting and destroying. He never experienced love. Bulma was there to show it to him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta was too tired to fight. His arms were weak with pain and exhaustion. Oniramu was strong and fast and most of the time was hitting Vegeta more than he hit him. Was his strength not that good enough? Was he really weak?
He felt Oniramu's hands wrap around Vegeta's neck, choking him mercilessly. Vegeta's gloved fingers wrapped around Oniramu's hands to let him go, but the king's grip was like steel to an ant. As he tried to breathe, he looked at Oniramu. He didn't have much injury on him. But Vegeta's clothes were ripped, and covered with his own blood. Why can't he win?
"You stupid fool! You wasted your time here." King Oniramu laughed and tightened his hold. "Did you really expect me to be so easy? You aren't worth a hair of Bulma!"
"Stop it!" a voice cried behind them. "STOP IT!"
Oniramu froze. That was Bulma's voice. He slowly turned his body to face her, taking Vegeta's almost limp body with him. She was indeed awake. She was staring at Oniramu with so much hatred and fury in her eyes. Her mouth was pulled back into a snarl, and her fists were balled at her sides. The wind blew, her dress flowing to the side. Oniramu admired and awed at her sight. She looked like an angry goddess!
"Let go of him!" she ordered. Was she telling Oniramu to...to...no! Oniramu could not believe his ears. Was she...refusing him? "I said let go of him!"
Oniramu's fingers slowly loosened around Vegeta's neck. The color returned to his face. Oniramu flew to Bulma and held her chin. So much hatred was in her eyes as she glared back up at him. "Bulma? Do not hate me. It was only—"
"You tried to kill the man I love, and you put lies in my head to believe he was cruel!" she accused.
"I did not put lies. I put them as they are. He never showed you love. Believe me." He pleaded with so much sorrow in his eyes. "I only did it for us."
She growled. "I hate it when men say that. 'For us'? That's so stupid. You did it for yourself!" she yanked her own chin away from his hand. But as she moved, somehow, she began to fall. His power on her disappeared. She shrieked so loudly that people in the other dimension could probably hear her, but strong arms caught her. She looked at her savior, only to look into Oniramu's sad eyes. She started shrieking. "Let go of me! Let go of me!"
"Bulma, please!" he pleaded.
"You heard the woman! Let her go!" Vegeta said with renewed strength. He was not tired anymore. The sight of Bulma's consciousness helped him. "You have just been rejected, King Oniramu!" Deep inside he was filled with joy and relief. All the stress left his body so fast to see her bright blue eyes again...and was able to breathe.
Oniramu looked at Vegeta and flew upward to be parallel from him, ignoring the thrashing of Bulma's movements and her screams. Vegeta wasn't going to keep Oniramu's woman. No. No one will.
"I said—" Bulma shrieked, but when Oniramu turned to look at her, all she noticed was the glow of the jewel that was placed on his forehead. It was shining so brightly. She was mesmerized by its glow.
Suddenly, she felt so heavy. She couldn't see anything but that glow. She couldn't move. It was like gravity held her down. If it weren't for Oniramu's hold on her, she would be falling. But she wasn't thinking of anything, not of Vegeta, not of herself, not of Oniramu.
Oniramu's face came into view. He was lowering his head down. Kiss me. His voice said in her head.
"No." she tried to whisper, but she couldn't say anything. Why couldn't she move? You're mine, with this single kiss. NO! Stop it. She couldn't. She tried to move.
Vegeta didn't know what Oniramu was doing as he stared at Bulma. They just stared at each other. Bulma lost that sudden shine in her eyes, and that's when Vegeta knew what Oniramu was doing. He was going to kiss her and have her forever love him.
"NO!" Vegeta cried out. Suddenly, reality hit him as he tried to move. His whole body ached and it made it harder for him to move. Vegeta was too late to reach Oniramu as he placed his lips into Bulma's soft ones. "No!"
There was a sudden blinding light. Goku covered his eyes. He didn't know what was going on. He just saw Bulma wake up. And then this. He couldn't interfere, although deep inside he wanted to. But Vegeta's words stopped him. Vegeta wanted to show Bulma he cared.
When the light cleared, it took Vegeta a moment to see from the light blots of different colors before his eyes. When that cleared, he looked at Bulma. She wasn't in Oniramu's arms. No, she was floating beside him, holding his hand. On her forehead was an identical diamond just like Oniramu's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I kind of enjoyed writing this chapter. And it's probably the longest out of all the other chapters. What will happen? Will love bloom again between Bulma and Vegeta? Or will Oniramu have Bulma's love for all eternity. And what about Krillen? Is he really dead!? Reviews, guys. Please! I didn't get much for my last chapter. I guess it sucked. v.v
Razelle had sensed Yashi's presence and turned her head fully around to fully face Yashi. She grinned when she saw the three humans behind Yashi. "King Oniramu told us to kill the humans. I see you have failed just as always. Can you get anything right, sister?"
Yamcha's jaw fell. Sister? That freaky looking creature and this pretty woman are sisters? Yet, even if the freaky looking woman looked freaky, Oniramu must have favored her if he had always complained of Yashi. But how can Oniramu favor this one? She's more ugly than Yashi! He couldn't even stand to GLANCE at her, let alone look.
Yashi seemed to notice Yamcha's thoughts. She looked at him over her smooth shoulder and said, "Razelle was always the stronger one, even if she is younger than me."
Younger! If she's ugly now, how will she look when she's older? Hideous!? Yamcha grimaced and looked at Tien and Krillen. They seemed to be staring at Piccolo and Gohan.
"Let them go!" Krillen yelled and flew to help them get away, but Yashi's fist came straight up. Krillen's face collided into her fist, barely even moving her hand. Blood ran down his lips and chin from his nose. Krillen covered his face and screamed, "OW!"
"Yashi!" Yamcha yelled with surprise. She looked at him again, but this time her eyes held an evil purple glow. This wasn't the look she gave him when they were flirting. It was that look when she tried to kill Vegeta. "Yashi?"
"I was ordered to kill you. I have to kill you." She turned fully to him. Her eyes flashed mocking sadness at first. "I'm sorry I have to do this. But an order is an order!"
"Yashi! No!" Yamcha yelled when Yashi slammed her fist into Krillen's stomach. She lifted her leg over Krillen and brought her foot down. Krillen's back bent like a banana did as he flew to the ground without anyway to stop himself. Yashi pointed her finger at him. A little orange ball omitted from the tip of her finger, then it flew down just as Krillen disappeared into the trees. The last thing Yamcha heard from Krillen was a scream.
"Why you little—" Tien cursed and flew forward to fight Yashi. She easily dodged him and brought her knee up, kneeing him in the groin. Tien gasped as he floated in mid-air like a ball, hugging his stomach with pain. He tried to breathe. When he turned to look at Yashi, all he saw was a tentacle that wrapped around his neck. It was that freaky little creature pulling him towards her.
"Good job, Yashi." Razelle hissed. "But you have one more to go."
Yashi nodded and looked at Yamcha. Her eyes held no emotion but evilness. "Yashi?" Yamcha gasped. "Don't do this. You—"
Yamcha couldn't say anything else when she swung her foot and kicked him in the face. When he did flips in the air sideways, she appeared beside him and kneed him in the face when he faced the ground. He screamed with pain, but to her ears it was music. She grabbed the back of his head by his hair and yanked him back. She was going to enjoy this.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta smirked when he looked back at Oniramu. "Your pet dragon is pretty ugly. But he does take after his master, doesn't he?"
Oniramu glared at him. But later he smiled with a look that said he was going to win. "Say all you want, kid. Those will be the last words you will be able to say before you die today."
"I'm not going to fight that dragon." Vegeta growled. He hated being called a kid because of his height. Wasn't Krillen short, too? He sure did act like a kid too. "I'd rather find a worthier opponent. You aren't one either, but that woman you hold is mine. I want her back."
"She was never yours to begin with." Oniramu said. He held her tighter to him. He stared at Vegeta with an evil half-grin; two fangs exposed only, as he lied his face on her hair. He rubbed his face against hers. "So soft, she is. She's going to be mine with one single kiss only, and you will be gone from her thoughts forever."
Vegeta scowled. "I marked her, you idiot! Inside her is my baby growing!"
"It's a first that you actually noticed. As I remembered, you hit her and couldn't care less of the child." Oniramu was grinning fully. "With a single kiss, that child in her will be mine as well. I hated to use the kiss, but having her love me by her own free will was taking too long."
"What do you mean?" Goku asked.
"I have the power to kiss her and have her fall under my spell. She will love me and only me." Oniramu said simply.
Vegeta was confused. "If you had wanted her, why didn't you kiss her earlier?" But he hated to even think of that question.
"Because I wanted her love freely given to me by her own will. She is a strong woman, is she not? She's courageous, beautiful, magnificent in every way." Oniramu smelled her hair and closed his eyes with pleasure, taking the scent into his nose slowly to enjoy it. "She is everything I want."
"Let go of her!" Vegeta yelled. An energy ball formed in his gloved hand. "I will destroy you!"
Oniramu smiled. He moved Bulma to hold her by her waist. Her head fell limply on his bare strong shoulder while his chin rested on her soft smooth shoulder. "You want to kill her, too?" Vegeta's eyes widened and the ball in his hand disappeared. His hand fell to his side.
Oniramu grinned and then licked Bulma's neck. Vegeta stiffened and a low growled was heard deep in his throat. Goku placed his hand on Vegeta's shoulder. If Goku hadn't done that, Vegeta would have forgotten that he was standing there.
"Only one of you will fight me. The other will fight my pet dragon." Oniramu said. The gem on his forehead began to shine brightly has he grinned at them with malice. He began to glow with a black aura.
Vegeta gasped and his eyes widened. "Kakkarot, do you feel that?"
Goku nodded and gulped. "His power is growing immensely."
Indeed, Oniramu was getting stronger and stronger. He can hide his true power just like Vegeta and Goku. They both believed him to be weak. "Let me fight him." Goku suggested. "I can turn into a super saiy-jin."
Vegeta refused. "I will fight him. He is holding my woman. No one does holds what belongs to me."
Goku shook his head. "Vegeta! Now isn't the time to play hero!"
Vegeta looked at him with anger. "Shut up, Kakkarot. I'm fighting him. I don't think I can live with myself knowing that it wasn't me that saved Bulma. I want her to know that I did care and that I am trying to get her back. You fight that blasted dragon. And whatever happens to me, don't interfere. I take care of myself." Vegeta turned to Oniramu. "Ready to lose?"
"Never did, kid." Oniramu smirked. When he let go of Bulma, she didn't fall. She was held up by his power. He smiled at her sleeping form before turning to Vegeta. "This is the last day you will set your eyes on her."
Vegeta didn't say anything when he lunged forward to punch Oniramu. The king tilted his head to the side quickly without panic. As Vegeta passed him with a look of surprise, the king grabbed Vegeta's foot and twirled him around before throwing him down into the trees.
Goku watched sadly when Vegeta went down within lest than ten seconds. He sighed as he looked down at the dragon below that he was supposed to fight. The dragon didn't seem to have a huge amount of power. Maybe this will be easy.
But Goku was wrong when he threw an energy ball at the dragon. It's scaly skin reflected the ball back at Goku like a tennis ball hitting a racket with a faster speed than when it was thrown. Goku dodged his own energy ball only by a little. It grazed his cheek. Blood made a little trail down his cheek from the end of the cut. He looked at the dragon. His skin was very strong. It opened his mouth and blew out fire. Maybe it wasn't going to be easy.
When Oniramu went down to look for Vegeta, Oniramu didn't see Vegeta suddenly appear behind him. Vegeta clasped his hand together and slammed his fists into the back of Oniramu. With surprise, Oniramu was thrown forward. He spun around and held out his hand. Five little purple energy balls glow at the tip of his fingers. Little thin rays exited from the little glowing balls.
Vegeta was taken aback by the speed and only had time to protect himself. He crunched up into a ball and covered his face with his arms. The little rays grazed his shoulders, right cheek, and arms. Vegeta ignored the blood that spurted out of its opening.
The two men were at it. They didn't pause to take a breath or rest. There wasn't a second of them not fighting. They would fly and try to hit each other, and the impact would be so strong that it destroyed some trees and created craters. They were everywhere, punching, kicking, and blocking. They were moving so fast that they didn't have time to insult each other.
Goku and the pet dragon weren't fighting at all actually. As Goku sat on the dragon's head as if they were friends, the dragon and Goku watched the two people fight like there was no tomorrow. Vegeta's speed and strength impressed Goku. Maybe the training he's been having was like this: nonstop. His head followed their every movement from left to right, down and up. Even the dragon was able to track their power levels and watch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yashi watched her sister, Razelle, toy with the namek, the three-eyed demi- human, the little child, and the flirtatious human. She had given her sister Yamcha to play with.
Two tentacles were tightly wrapped around the captive's arms and legs, making them unable to move. Razelle was cruelly throwing them around, swinging them, turning them to make them sick. She turned to her younger sister and smiled freakishly. "Are you watching our King fight those weak saiy-jins?"
Yashi shook her head. "It isn't worth watching. I'm sure our King will win like he always does. Besides, no one can kill King Oniramu. This is his world."
Gohan heard this. He gasped. "What do you mean?" he was able to say that before the tentacles wrapped itself tighter around him. He screamed with pain.
Yashi turned to him with no emotion in her face. "King Oniramu created this world. This world is one with him. Whatever he says will be."
"But how can one creature such as him have his own world." Piccolo asked.
"To this day, even we don't know. He has lived for thousands of years. He was only in his mid-twenties when he became immortal and created this world in this universe, in this dimension. He destroyed my planet and took Razelle and me into this planet. That's all we know." Yashi sighed. "There are more planets he has destroyed that you humans will never see nor know of its existence. He kills for a living, destroys for life. It was a surprise to see him fall in love with a mere human of another dimension and planet. She has no power, no strength—"
"But he talks about her personality." Razelle interrupted. "He loves her for who she is, not what she is, Yashi."
The sister looked down. "I wonder if he has a weakness, a way to kill him."
"Yashi!" Razelle scolded. "Do not say that. Keep your thoughts to yourself. King Oniramu has a good hearing you know."
"But King Oniramu is too busy fighting to hear." Yashi shot back. She started to float around. "Suppose...he does die. What then? What will happen to us?"
Razelle was quiet. "We might have to go down with him. There is no other exit out. We and a few others that serve him are the only ones that weren't created by him. The people he created, the castle, this whole planet will die with him. And even if we don't die with the planet, we'll die in space with no air to breathe."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I love you.
In a deep depth of darkness, Bulma heard those words. But where? Where had it come from? This didn't sound like the voices of which Oniramu had placed in her head. Was it Vegeta?
I love you, too, Vegeta.
Bulma gasped. That was her voice. When had she said that...? Her thoughts flew to the time she and Vegeta made passionate love to each other. It was so sudden and so surprising. She had just broken up with Yamcha, and Vegeta came to comfort her. As they made love, they admitted their love for each other. She could never forget those words.
But what about Oniramu? Oniramu didn't only tell her about his love for her, but he also showed it. He was sweet, kind, and soft. He bought her clothes and everything. But Bulma didn't want jewelry or to be dressed up. And...sweet, kind, and soft men bore her. She wanted something different. She wanted someone strong, courageous. She wanted...Vegeta.
She began to hear things even in the darkness. She heard yells and screams of men fighting. She recognizes the voice of Vegeta as he struggled to fight. And the other man was no doubt Oniramu. But what was Vegeta doing here? Did he come to save her? Bulma thought about it more. Vegeta didn't show much love, but wasn't coming into a different world good enough to show love? He was actually fighting for her.
With renewed strength, Bulma was able to open her eyes. The first thing that greeted her was the pain in her head. Yes, she remembered. Oniramu had knocked her out. It was also him who had put thoughts into her head to see things that Vegeta has done to be so cold and full of hatred. But she looked past all that to find that Vegeta was not a cold person.
His life was full of fighting and destroying. He never experienced love. Bulma was there to show it to him.

Vegeta was too tired to fight. His arms were weak with pain and exhaustion. Oniramu was strong and fast and most of the time was hitting Vegeta more than he hit him. Was his strength not that good enough? Was he really weak?
He felt Oniramu's hands wrap around Vegeta's neck, choking him mercilessly. Vegeta's gloved fingers wrapped around Oniramu's hands to let him go, but the king's grip was like steel to an ant. As he tried to breathe, he looked at Oniramu. He didn't have much injury on him. But Vegeta's clothes were ripped, and covered with his own blood. Why can't he win?
"You stupid fool! You wasted your time here." King Oniramu laughed and tightened his hold. "Did you really expect me to be so easy? You aren't worth a hair of Bulma!"
"Stop it!" a voice cried behind them. "STOP IT!"
Oniramu froze. That was Bulma's voice. He slowly turned his body to face her, taking Vegeta's almost limp body with him. She was indeed awake. She was staring at Oniramu with so much hatred and fury in her eyes. Her mouth was pulled back into a snarl, and her fists were balled at her sides. The wind blew, her dress flowing to the side. Oniramu admired and awed at her sight. She looked like an angry goddess!
"Let go of him!" she ordered. Was she telling Oniramu to...to...no! Oniramu could not believe his ears. Was she...refusing him? "I said let go of him!"
Oniramu's fingers slowly loosened around Vegeta's neck. The color returned to his face. Oniramu flew to Bulma and held her chin. So much hatred was in her eyes as she glared back up at him. "Bulma? Do not hate me. It was only—"
"You tried to kill the man I love, and you put lies in my head to believe he was cruel!" she accused.
"I did not put lies. I put them as they are. He never showed you love. Believe me." He pleaded with so much sorrow in his eyes. "I only did it for us."
She growled. "I hate it when men say that. 'For us'? That's so stupid. You did it for yourself!" she yanked her own chin away from his hand. But as she moved, somehow, she began to fall. His power on her disappeared. She shrieked so loudly that people in the other dimension could probably hear her, but strong arms caught her. She looked at her savior, only to look into Oniramu's sad eyes. She started shrieking. "Let go of me! Let go of me!"
"Bulma, please!" he pleaded.
"You heard the woman! Let her go!" Vegeta said with renewed strength. He was not tired anymore. The sight of Bulma's consciousness helped him. "You have just been rejected, King Oniramu!" Deep inside he was filled with joy and relief. All the stress left his body so fast to see her bright blue eyes again...and was able to breathe.
Oniramu looked at Vegeta and flew upward to be parallel from him, ignoring the thrashing of Bulma's movements and her screams. Vegeta wasn't going to keep Oniramu's woman. No. No one will.
"I said—" Bulma shrieked, but when Oniramu turned to look at her, all she noticed was the glow of the jewel that was placed on his forehead. It was shining so brightly. She was mesmerized by its glow.
Suddenly, she felt so heavy. She couldn't see anything but that glow. She couldn't move. It was like gravity held her down. If it weren't for Oniramu's hold on her, she would be falling. But she wasn't thinking of anything, not of Vegeta, not of herself, not of Oniramu.
Oniramu's face came into view. He was lowering his head down. Kiss me. His voice said in her head.
"No." she tried to whisper, but she couldn't say anything. Why couldn't she move? You're mine, with this single kiss. NO! Stop it. She couldn't. She tried to move.
Vegeta didn't know what Oniramu was doing as he stared at Bulma. They just stared at each other. Bulma lost that sudden shine in her eyes, and that's when Vegeta knew what Oniramu was doing. He was going to kiss her and have her forever love him.
"NO!" Vegeta cried out. Suddenly, reality hit him as he tried to move. His whole body ached and it made it harder for him to move. Vegeta was too late to reach Oniramu as he placed his lips into Bulma's soft ones. "No!"
There was a sudden blinding light. Goku covered his eyes. He didn't know what was going on. He just saw Bulma wake up. And then this. He couldn't interfere, although deep inside he wanted to. But Vegeta's words stopped him. Vegeta wanted to show Bulma he cared.
When the light cleared, it took Vegeta a moment to see from the light blots of different colors before his eyes. When that cleared, he looked at Bulma. She wasn't in Oniramu's arms. No, she was floating beside him, holding his hand. On her forehead was an identical diamond just like Oniramu's.

I kind of enjoyed writing this chapter. And it's probably the longest out of all the other chapters. What will happen? Will love bloom again between Bulma and Vegeta? Or will Oniramu have Bulma's love for all eternity. And what about Krillen? Is he really dead!? Reviews, guys. Please! I didn't get much for my last chapter. I guess it sucked. v.v
