Author's Note: It's come to my attention that some people are curious as to who Saliya is. Well the answer is that she's a character that was in the beginning of this story. She was Bulma's servant when she was first abducted. If you look back, her character's in there somewhere! Alrighty then, I guess that's all...

'How dare you refer to me as a human!'

'How dare you call yourself a man.'

'What the hell are you getting at?'

'You never gave her a chance and that alone disgusts me.'

'No, what's disgusting is the memory of you fucking her!' Chimera paused in his stride and turned his head to Vegeta.

'You're quite naive Saiyan. I was calling you human out of kindness. I very well recall the Saiyan race. A group of powerful idiots who stunk and fought with a savagery that was not justified. True, you were a Saiyan, I can remember you through your memories. However, you've lost all acts of mindless atrocity. As of late, you've become just and partially civil. You're human now, Vegeta.'

'I am prince of all Saiyans!' Chimera turned back to the sidewalk and continued forward.

'Then you're prince of fools.' Vegeta did not argue with him, for he knew Chimera could sense his anger. At such a close connection he need not speak his words of rage.

Chimera suddenly turned into a side street and Vegeta followed submissively. They walked on without words, feeling the other's feelings easily enough. The silence was not awkward and Vegeta soon found out how comfortable Chimera's companionship could be. The beast wasn't insistent, nor talkative. He seemed filled with an existentialism that was both easy and compatible. However, silence had to be broken if Vegeta was to learn anything.

'How old are you?'

'Old enough.'

'Don't even try and be coy, tell me the truth if you want my trust.'

'Trust! The same trust you've so eagerly given Bulma?' Chimera paused and Vegeta believed he would not speak again. But then, 'I'm as old as Chikyuu, probably older.'

'How did Galvan capture you?'

'He was lucky, and I was without a perfect companion. I had no power to shun him. The Effian is clever, I'll give him that. He knew my kind well.'

'Your kind?'

'What was my kind, that is to say. We are no more, except for myself.'

'And you will die?'

'Eventually, as must everything. Yes, someday my life will end. However, I am considered young as of now, and can look forward to many years.'

'You spent two with her.'

'That I did. I'll never regret them, but perhaps mourn their loss.'

'You feel now that we're here you've lost her.'

'No, I feel nothing. I know that she will leave. It is inevitable.'

'How so?' They turned a corner.

'Because...' Chimera had meant to speak more. In fact he was on the precipice of conveying something to Vegeta that might have swayed his opinions. However, when they turned round the bend, what awaited them there was something out of a nightmare.

He tousled her hair. She loved it when he did that. Edging closer to him, she lay a content head on his strong chest.

"You're wonderful," she spoke at last. She wanted to gasp, she could hear his heart beat.

"I know, and you're easy enough." His replies were harsh, but she'd long ago learned to tune him out.

"What can I do to please you, Galvan?" He smirked, and moved his lips to her ear. She patiently awaited his command.

There was a knock at the door. Galvan looked up in surprise and walked to it. On his way he took with him the sheet that covered the bed and Saliya found she had nothing to cover herself with. She lay there prone and nude as Galvan allowed the door to slide completely open.

"Sir!" Came a voice from the other side. A lanky Effian saluted him.

"More problems?" Galvan asked. The man nodded. Galvan sighed and shrugged. "Very well, I must do what I can for my people!" Saliya wanted to run to him and proclaim her adoration. Instead she stayed upon the bed and waited. "Goodbye then!" Galvan said, not bothering to turn around to face her. "Take me to my chambers!" He commanded the younger Effian. He exited the room quickly and the boy followed him like a dog.

The door slid close and Saliya remained in the room. Her happiness was consuming, and she allowed it to eat her alive.
