And part three starts today! Hope you enjoy! We left off with Cristany and I meeting our fighters and being invited into their rooms. And let me just say that copying this from writing to type is getting hard. I keep typing my friend's and my real name and keep having to go back to change it. But anyway, enough of my rants and let us take a look at their discussions!

NARAKU VS. VEGETA part three

Naraku soon returned to his room, indicating for Sakura to follow, which she did.

Meanwhile, Vegeta had accepted Cristany into his room and together they held a discussion.

"So you're a big fan?" Vegeta asked.

"Totally!" Cristany confirmed. "I just love you! You are the true star of the Dragon Ball Z and GT series! Goku is nothing compared to you!"

"You're not just saying that, are you?" Vegeta questioned in a dangerous tone.

"No!" Cristany replied. "Goku should die, in my opinion! I dunno why he's so cool! What's so good about Goku anyway?"

"I definitely like your attitude!" Vegeta told her. "Finally someone who sees it my way!"

Meanwhile, not much took place between Sakura and Naraku. They remained silent since Sakura said how nice it was to finally meet Naraku. Naraku sat in a chair staring at the girl who would cheer for him to win. Sakura only stare at the ground, fiddling with her plushie in nervousness. Finally someone broke the silence.

"I'm surprised," Naraku averted his gaze from the girl.

"Surprised?" Sakura gave an inquiring look. "About what?"

"About how and why a girl such as yourself would come to this pathetic tournament to watch me…" Naraku explained.

"Why would you say that?" Sakura replied.

"You question this?" Naraku countered, but his tone came confused and not angry. He gave the girl an inquiring glance.

"Yes, I question this," Sakura answered. "Have you no faith? I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are coming to cheer you on!"

"And how do you figure that?" Naraku asked. "I'm an evil, vicious, cold-hearted villain! I've no friends and too many enemies! No one likes people like me!" he tore his gaze from the girl.

"And yet here I stand," Sakura responded. "I've seen you, watched you, and have concluded that you aren't all evil."

"But…all the lives I've taken…all the people I've used…" Naraku started.

"I know that murdering is a bad thing, but there are much worse people in the world than that!" Sakura told him. "Child molesters, serial killers, children sellers, child pornographers! You have yet to do something that distasteful or to cause a war, but worse people have! Now do you see?"

"…No…" Naraku answered.

"Okay, um…let's take Adolf Hitler for example," Sakura started.

"Who?" Naraku inquired.

"He was a…um…dictator, that's the word! He cased the…which one was it?…second World War! He killed thousands, I'm pretty sure, and put people into concentrations camps where they were mistreated and put in gas chambers to die if they didn't die trying to escape or through starvation!" Sakura explained. "Forgive my lack of detail, but history was never really my best subject, but does it make more sense now? You don't go around killing thousands, putting many in gas chambers!"

(Sidenote: I never was good in history, that is the truth. The last history grade I got (and hope to ever get) was in my Rise of the West class where I got a C+…Not surprising really, but basically the thing was out of class exams and apparently I can't copy the answers out of books all that well. Sigh but enough of my rants…)

"I guess I see…" Naraku told her.

Meanwhile, Cristany had attempted to pull things out of Vegeta about his son…and found herself quite successful. (Fangirls, you're going to love this next part, or at least I hope you will, cuz it's kinda unlike Vegeta…I think…you tell me.)

"So, I hear your son, Trunks, is the president of Capsule Corp. How does Bulma feel about that?" she asked.

"Oh, yes…Bulma's very proud…" Vegeta answered.

"What about you?" Cristany asked.

"In my opinion, he should focus more on his fighting than on that, but I am very proud of him. He's worked very hard to get where he is," Vegeta explained.

"So…is he…" Cristany wanted to say "single?" but instead came out with, "strong?"

"He could be much stronger than he currently is, but he is pretty strong," Vegeta answered. "Pathetic…"

"Maybe he needs a woman to toughen him up," Cristany put in. "I mean, don't you think he'd want to get stronger to protect the one he was in love with?

"How should I know?" Vegeta asked.

"Didn't you, in the least bit, try to make yourself stronger for Bulma after you two got together?" Cristany inquired. "You must have! You love her! Didn't you feel obligated to grow stronger to protect her?"

"I guess in a way," Vegeta answered. "You know, you're right! He should find a girl! Anything to get him stronger! Are you single?"

"Huh!" Cristany had not expected this question.

"I asked if you were-" Vegeta began, but a knock on the door cut him off. "What?" he asked, tone clearly one of annoyance.

"Five minutes before you're announced!" the man from earlier's voice called.

"Oh, then we'd better get going!" Cristany attempted to avoid Vegeta's question.

"Very well…" Vegeta replied.

Meanwhile, Sakura accomplished her task of convincing Naraku that he seemed not all bad, despite her lack of detail and historical accuracy.

"I can't believe the people you speak of," Naraku told her in an almost astonished tone. "The horrible people you tell me of…do or did they truly exist?"

"Yes," Sakura answered. "So you see, as evil as you think you are, there are and were people out there more evil than you."

"I now see," Naraku replied.

Just then, a knock came upon the door.

"What is it?" Naraku asked dangerously, eyes upon the door as if he could burn a hole through it.

"Um…sir, you will be announced in five minutes…please be ready…" the man from earlier's voice came high and frightened.

"Okay, now go before I decide to kill you here and now," Naraku said coldly.

"Yes, sir," the man's voice cracked and his footsteps quickly faded.

"Sakura, I've one question for you…" Naraku returned his gaze to the girl.

"Yeah?" Sakura asked.

"You've never feared me?" Naraku answered.

"No," Sakura told him. "I've never feared you, but I've felt sorry, which must make you angry to hear. I've always wanted to know more about you. My…I only think you're misunderstood really."

"Misunderstood?" Naraku inquired.

"Yeah," Sakura confirmed. "Don't ask me how exactly, because even I don't really know, but yeah. Anyway, we'd better get out there. Forgive me, but I'm a bit anal about being late."

(Sidenote: The anality of being late is also true of me. I get so paranoid, I work myself into such a worry that I wear myself out. Hey look! You guys are learning stuff about me! LOL Well enough about me and more about my fic!)

Naraku argued not and followed the girl out to the door entering into the stadium. On the other side of the arena, Vegeta and Cristany awaited for the announcer to call them into the field.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the announcer's voice came, "allow me to introduce Vegeta and Naraku!"

Naraku and Sakura entered from the left as Vegeta and Cristany entered from the right of the stadium and into the arena. The stands were packed with fans, most of whom were female, who cheered their fighter on. It was plain to see who cheered on who as the Vegeta fans all wore blue Saiyan battle suits and those for Naraku were dressed all in black or were wearing fake baboon skins. Apart from the costumers, Sakura and Cristany both spotted the Inu-Yasha gang sitting amongst the supporters of Vegeta.

"That should be me down there fighting!" they heard Inu-Yasha say as he readied himself to jump from the stands.

"Inu-Yasha, OSUWARI!" Kagome replied and the hanyou fell into the stands face-first.

Despite this, the cheers were incredibly loud and they almost shook the arena!

Naraku and Vegeta took their places opposite each other in the ring and gave the other a death glare. It was impossible to tell who's glare dominated the other's as both were quite frightening. Cristany and Sakura remained on the ground, but stood quite close to the ring, cheering on their fighter.

"Come on, Vegeta! Don't let that mistake beat you! You've a reputation to uphold! You must win!" Cristany cheered.

"Don't let them get you down! I believe in you!" Sakura cheered.

Vegeta's smirk grew wider and Naraku felt a strange feeling flutter through his chest. They faced each other, ready for battle, ready for the kill or only much embarrassment.

And that's it for now! Next it gets down and dirty with fighting and brutality! Haven't written any of that yet, though, so sorry. Through each story, this will get less similar and more different depending on which fighter you, the viewer, are rooting for. Give some reviews, I love feedback! Even if it is dissing my writing or fic. Until next we meet.
