Rifle is another made up character. He is as fast as a bullet and is telepathic.
Chapter 8: Sexy Saiyans
Weeks went by and things on the ship returned to "normal." Trunks had ended up in Nappa's room, against both Nappa's and Trunks' will. Carly was assigned her own room, beside Kadeta and Kiwi.
One day, I was editing my writing when Vegeta strode into the room, sporting an ear-to-ear smile. "Look out the window," was all he said.
I glanced at him oddly. "Why?" His only response was to walk up to the window beside my chair and pull back the curtains. "That's why."
I gawked. Outside the window was a blood red planet, its two suns shimmering with beauty.
The papers fell from my hand (glad they're numbered) "Oh my god...It's...It's..." I paused. "Beautiful."
Vegeta chuckled. "Yes it is, isn't it? I've waited so long to see it again, even for a moment."
I glanced at him. "You don't think that you can rebuild your race, do you?" He shook his head. "I just wanted to see my planet one last time. And possibly, take a piece of it back to Earth. Just for grins."
I looked back out the window grimly. I was happy Vegeta wasn't expecting me to leave my life back on Earth, but he had made the journey out into space, leading the others on a false hope that their race would be restored.
"That's cruel to the others, you know." I stated bluntly.
His gaze shifted to me. "That's their problem, isn't it?" He returned to staring at his planet. "It's not like they really had their hopes up anyway. I mean, we only have one full female Saiyan left and, by law of the race, I should be the one to mate her. But I have you. And it's not likely we would be able to get her to mate with Nappa or Radditz. Bardock and Turles would refuse. Kakarott has that harpy of his. Only one left is Gohan, but he doesn't seem too fond of her. So how would we restart the race?"
I looked at my feet. "That's true. I'm sorry for being so rude. I just –"
"I know. You don't have to explain. Just go find Kakarott and meet me in the docking bay. He should be training right now." Vegeta turned and strode out of the room.
I sighed, put my stuff down, and followed him out. I made my way to the gravity room and over rode the system.
"Goku, Vegeta wants us in the docking bay so we can go down to Vegeta-sei." I said, walking inside.
I was met with the sight of an extremely sexy, sweaty, shirtless Super Saiyan. My face heated with a blush. "Uh, Gohan, is Goku in here?"
Gohan smiled, nodded and pointed up. My gaze followed his finger and I saw Goku, with all the characteristics I described Gohan with, hovering in midair, smiling brightly.
"Okay, cool. Uh, Gohan, how about you get the shower first today? And close the door on the way out. I need to talk to Nightcall."
"Sure. I'll see you later, then." Gohan turned, walked out, and closed the door.
Goku touched down, smirked, and pushed me against the wall, his hands blocking my escape. "Goku, what are you doing?" I asked, stuttering.
He didn't answer, his hand busy at the collar of my shirt. "Goku, I asked you something. Why –" Shiver running down my spine interrupted me.
As my brain began functioning again, I realized that he had begun to suck on the tender skin surrounding my bite mark.
"Goku." Pant. "Get." Pant "Off." I pushed at the Saiyans chest.
He chuckled. "Why should I? Hmm?" He smirked again and pressed his lips to mine.
My eyes widened in shock, as did my mouth. Goku seized his opportunity and thrust his tongue inside.
I tried to back up, only to remind myself that I was backed against a wall. Goku pressed against me, rubbing his erection against my leg. I gasp into his mouth.
Just as my gasp sounded, a gasp sounded from the door. Goku pulled off of me to look at the owner of the sound. "Dammit." He muttered.
He took a step back, holding me up. I was glad he did, seeing as my knees had gone weak. I heard him say, "Kadeta, what are you doing here?"
"Vegeta wanted me to find Night. She was supposed to tell you –"Goku stopped her. "I know, I know. Come on, let's go" He pick me up like a sleeping child and followed Kadeta out the door.
Gohan was outside the door, drying his hair. "Hey, Nightcall, have you seen Goten? I can't find him."
I shook my head. "Nope. Probably with Furball and Moon. He'll be fine, though."
"Where's Furball?" A little voice piped up.
I looked down at Goten, the source of the noise. "Uh, I thought you were with him…"
The half-Saiyan shook his head. "Nope. I was, but he and Moon hid from me and now I can't find them."
"And where did they hide?" Gohan asked his son.
"Uh, in a ship down in the docking bay." He smiled at our wide eyes and shocked faces. "What?"
"Th – They're in the docking bay!" I nearly jumped out of Goku's arms. "Oh my God!"
Goku grabbed me before I could plant my feet. "Whoa! What's wrong?"
"Vegeta just sent Raditz, Nappa, and the others to Vegeta-sei! He might have sent Furball and Moon! Knowing them…they'll be on the other side of the planet in a matter of minutes! We don't know what's out there! They could get killed!"
"They'll be fine. After all, they grew up with me," Kadeta said, trying to reassure me.
"And that's supposed to make me feel better?" I asked harshly.
"Uh hello! I'm stronger than Goku!" Kadeta cleared her throat, "I taught them how to protect themselves. That's all."
I relaxed against Goku's chest.
"I guess they'll be okay. After all, you taught them." She responded with a satisfied smirk. "Oh shut up Kadeta!"
Goku chuckled. "Come one, we need to go meet Vegeta."
Our group walked into the docking bay to find a very frantic Vegeta. ", , . Nightcall is going to kill me. I can't believe I did that." He was pacing and apparently didn't know we were there.
"Why is she going to kill you?" Goku asked, startling Vegeta.
"Because, Kakarott, I just sent her pups into space with Nappa and Raditz. I am a dead man once she finds out."
I growled. "What did you think I was going to do to kill you, huh? Put poison in your food?"
Vegeta jumped. "Oh, Nightcall. Heh, funny seeing you here." His face got serious. "Why is Kakarott carrying you?"
I looked at Goku and decided against telling Vegeta about the kiss. "My legs were shaking and I was feeling weak as he offered to carry me." Not a lie, but not the truth, either.
"Oh, I see. Well come one. We have to get your kids back." He turned and walked over to two small ships, "Kakarott, Nightcall and I will take this ship. Gohan, his son, and you, Kadeta, will take the other."
Goten looked around confused. "Who's 'his son'? And why does he get to go and I don't?"
Gohan chuckled, "He meant you, Goten. Besides, we wouldn't leave you. Stop worrying so much -"
"You'll lose your hair," I blurted out. After receiving very strange glances, I said, "Vegeta told Nappa that when they first came to Earth. It's a habit."
"Okay then. Anyway, we should get going if we are to find the pups." Vegeta emphasized the fact.
"Oh, yeah. Hey Goku, can you carry me to the ship now?"
"Yeah, sorry about that."
"Kakarott, how many times have I told you don't say sorry?"
"Oh, sorry Vegeta. I forgot about that." A Son smile marked his lips while Vegeta gave it his all to keep from attacking Goku.
"Okay, this is the second time we've started to leave and you two have stopped us. Goku, get your lame ass excuse for a Saiyan ass into the damn ship. Vegeta, get your 'I'm the best thing in the world because I'm a Saiyan prince' ass into the ship. And don't forget Night's sorry wolf ass when you get in," Kadeta was puffed up with anger.
Goku and Vegeta stared at her for a moment. Then together, they said, "How dare you talk about Nightcall that way!"
"Uh, she doesn't care." She looked at me. With a shake of my head, I said, "Nope, I don't. I know she's just playing around so we can go down to the planet and find my kids."
Vegeta glanced at me, snuggled up in Goku's strong arms. "Kakarott, give me Nightcall and get in the ship."
"Okie dokie." Goku handed me to Vegeta and clambered into the ship. Vegeta set me inside and climbed in.
We watched Kadeta, Gohan, and Goten get in their ship. Vegeta pushed a button, which closed the ships door. Soon afterward was liftoff.
It took three hours to reach Vegeta-sei. I had fallen asleep in Vegeta's lap, haunted by nightmares of finding the mutilated, molested bodies of my children.
/Night, wake up. It's just a dream. Wake up. The kids are right in front of us./
My eyes snapped open to see I was tied to what seemed like a bed. I glanced around and saw that the Saiyans were tied to what looked like bamboo polls. Kadeta and Kiwi were on the beds on either side of mine. Furball and Moon sat in chairs in front of us, also tied down.
"Please let us go. We aren't Saiyans. We didn't do anything wrong. Please let us go," Moon whimpered.
"Moon, what have I told you, never ask the enemy for mercy. They won't let you go," Kadeta warned. Raditz smirked, and Goku blushed.
"The princess has a point, Moon. But since you ask so nicely, I'll let you, your brother and your mother go. After all, you aren't Saiyans.'
Kadeta growled, "Rifle, you bastard. Still under Frezia's rule? Or are you doing this on your own freewill?"
"Frezia's dead. A boy named Trunks killed him. I'm doing this for my father, getting revenge, as you might say."
"Did Saiyans kill your daddy?" Rifle nodded to Moon. "Well, the Saiyans I know wouldn't do anything like that. Nope, they are really nice to us, and let us use them like jungle gyms."
Rifle stared at my youngest child. Then, slowly, he bent down and kissed her forehead. "Child, you are the purest thing in the universe, to think that these two Saiyans," he pointed to Nappa and Vegeta, "are gentle beings."
"Rifle, don't kid yourself. We killed him under Frezia's order. In normal circumstances, we wouldn't have been there," Vegeta protested.
"I don't care." Rifle rose a ki-lit finger to Vegeta's throat. "The Prince of all Saiyans will die by my hand – tonight."
