Chapter 16
"Lady Cellina?" Chello pushed her long green hair behind her ears, and looked around the infirmary. She couldn't find the Saiyan woman anywhere. "Lady Cellina? Are you there?" it had been 4 days, and she had grown worried. Not only did they have to assign three trained guards to the infirmary door, but they had to start taking shifts to constantly watch both Saiyans, all the time. Cellina had shown the pre-heat signs first, but now Kyaime had caught up with her, and had to be locked up with her. Luckily, Kyaime had taken to locking herself in her room, so she didn't have anymore episodes.
But her brother had become worried about her absence, and walked in with his two friends, Moat and Gohan.
That proved to be her undoing, as she felt like jumping the first one of them she could get her hands on.
Their only blessing, was that an Ice-jin female had walked past, and recognised the affects of struggling against heat. As she was a junior nurse.
She rescued her, and brought her here.
Now, both girls were constantly locked in a padded room, with each other, and Chello had some worrying news to tell them.
But they weren't in their cells. "Cellina? Kyaime?"
"They have been moved to a stronger cell. It appears, that Lady Cellina is far more adept with the security equipment than we could have predicted." Piccolo chuckled.
"How do you mean?" she walked with him, to the new cell.
"She successfully decoded the panel lock, removed the device, and rewired it to not only open, but lock every other door in the infirmary."
"So we couldn't stop her…"
"Exactly. Luckily, I was conducting my hourly patrol of their room, when I caught her."
"Luckily indeed." They walked together and looked through the door window. "I have to tell them…
"I know. And I am sure you will deliver the news perfectly Chello."
"I certainly hope so…" Piccolo left her, and she took a deep breath.
The door opened, and she quickly locked it behind her. "How are you girls feeling today?" she said nervously, and looked to them both.
Kyaime had changed dramatically. Her body was curvier, her long ebony hair spiked at the ends in a feather fashion, and curled in a wind swept style. Her dark eyes were dilated, and she had a look of a killer.
"Good, thanks." She spat. "I would be better if you let me out of these." She rattled the shackled around her wrists, ankles and tail. That was just encase, as her tail would hurt if she tried to yank it from the chain restrain.
"I must say, I agree with my dark haired friend."
"Ah, Cellina." Chello tried to smile.
Cellina's hair was still pure snow white, with bouncing curls, wild and rebellious and she looked mysterious from the way her full fringe, swept over her right eye. Letting her dark eye on view, be seen far more dilated than Kyaime's. "Now, how are you feeling?"
"Randy as hell." She smirked, her lips a rose colour and very ready for kissing. Her canines were pearly white as they protruded elegantly, unlike Kyaime, whose fangs had yet to grow. "As usual."
"Ah, yes, well." She chuckled nervously. Both girls wore full body spandex suits, black, and their white gloves and boots. Or her father's gloves and boots in Cellina's case.
"Well what?" Cellina crossed one leg over the other, making her chains clink together slightly. "You would by any chance have our release forms do you? As we are perfectly fine to leave, I assure you." She spoke smoothly, her voice already grown husky and more seductive.
"Well, I don't have those, and you are not fine." She chuckled nervously again. "Nice try."
"Can't knock a girl for trying." She sat back, a cocky smirk on her face. "So, what are you here for? We are all fed up."
"But we are still hungry." Kyaime added, licking her lips with her eyes closed. "I could really go for some tall, muscular, Saiyan meat to sink my teeth into right now."
"This is the problem." Chello had her back against the door. Piccolo had been attacked last time he was in here, because he wouldn't let them go. So she didn't feel all that safe. They reminded her of pack animals…and they were certainly hunting together.
"I am with you on the tall, muscular and meat part…and definitely the part where I get to taste them. But I can't say I am with you on the Saiyan count…" Cellina chuckled evilly. "I am up for both at once right now."
"Ahem." Chello felt rather out of place, and Cellina raised a brow at her.
"Have something worth saying do you?"
"Y yes I do." God did she feel intimidated around Cellina these days.
"Well then. Spit it out Namek." That was a nasty habit she got into since her heat affected her, calling Chello by her race, not her name.
"Well. I fear that you will be hitting your heat first."
"I knew that, fool. It is plain to see."
"Lady Cellina is far purer than I am, I can smell it."
"Hush my subject. I hear your flattery, and note it." Cellina praised Kyaime, and turned to Chello. "I have a task for you."
"Y you do?"
"Yes. I have a pendant, a very important one. My father gave it to me, and I need it right now…" for a moment, her proud smirk softened into a very Cellina like smile. "I need it, as I will be near him if I have it. I miss him so much…"
"What does it look like?" Chello smiled. Maybe this would anchor her to sanity, if she had something to remind her of her father.
"A golden chain, with an emerald gem on the pendant. You will know it if you see it. Please…"
"I will get it." She nodded. "Oh, and the news…well…"
"Well? Do not keep my mistress waiting!" Kyaime yanked against her chains, and snarled at Chello. Mistress? Since when did Cellina go by the name, mistress?
"You will have to be separated, as you are too strong together."
"NO!" Kyaime jumped up. "I will not leave my pr-"
"THAT is EMOUGH!" Cellina showed hostility for the first time since her heat took swing, and turned to Chello. "I do not wish to be removed from Kyaime's side. We keep one another in line, and sane."
"I know, but if you both hit your heat at the same time, and tried to escape at the same time, you would lay the infirmary in ruins, and mate with who you see closest to your heart anyway. We just can't let you stay together. Tonight, we move you."
"I will not go!" Kyaime roared, and Chello jumped back.
"I knew you wouldn't like this. But please, I have to. You would want me to if you were in your right mind!"
"NO!"
"ENOUGH!" Cellina stood tall, and Kyaime dropped to her knees. She bowed over, and held her head low.
"Forgive me my mistress, I beg you."
"I do, you know I do." She smiled, and walked over to her. She bent over and lifted her chin up to look at her. "You are like a sister to me now Kyaime." It was almost majestic the scene, Chello thought as she looked on at them both. Like Queen and subject…she thought, and then shrugged it off. "Now, rise."
"Yes mistress." Kyaime stood up, and purred as Cellina stroked her face.
"Dear child, you are so loyal. I will always remember this."
"Anything for you my p-" Cellina covered her mouth, and she nodded to her. Kyaime nodded back, and then looked to Chello.
"You must go with her Kyaime. Worry not." They shared an evil, knowing smirk. "We shall be free soon."
"Indeed we shall." She bowed to her, and then looked to Chello. "I will do as I am told." She held her hands out, and Chello looked to her suspiciously, and then took her chains in her hands.
"Alright…and I will get that necklace for you Lady Cellina." She didn't answer, but bowed her head to Chello.
Chello led her out the room, and to another strong hold cell. Also padded. Kyaime scowled at her, and walked into the cell. She just sat down, and ignored that Chello existed. She didn't mind, and locked her inside.
That was odd. Kyaime was acting like she was lowly compared to Cellina…how odd. She then walked out of the infirmary, and to Cellina's room. She walked down the hall to her room, and felt a hand grab her arm. She shrieked, and looked into black and red eyes.
"You are the doctor looking after Cellina, right?"
"Y yes. Why?"
"I am a close friend of hers." The pink skinned warrior let go of her, and had pleading eyes. "How is she?"
"She is close to her heat. Cellina has sent me on an errand, and then I will be looking after her. She will most likely start soon. All the signs are clear."
"When she can go free, will you tell me?" he pointed to his door. "Come and fine me, I will be waiting right here for the good news."
"I will." She sighed with relief. He scared her at first, until she saw the worry in his eyes. They were haunting eyes, but concerned all the same. "But I must go for now."
"Wait." He struggled with himself, and pulled her aside. He whispered in her ear. "Tell her I miss her…tell her…I love her." So you are the one her heart holds dear. She smiled and nodded enthusiastically.
"I will. And who shall I say the devoted proclamation is from? I can't just say, a guy you know." She chuckled. Her mood towards this guy had changed. He was just a young man, in love and worried about the woman of his life. She had all the sympathy in the world for that.
"From Buu, Majin Buu."
"I will do. And I will make sure to find you as soon as she is feeling better. Ok?"
"Thank you doctor." He smiled softly, and then let her walk on.
"No problem. I am here to help." She beamed, feeling positively pleased with herself for acting as cupid for them, and walked into her room.
It was 3 hours later when she found the illustrious jewellery, hidden in her bed.
It was beautiful.
It was a delicate, yet strong golden chain, with an oval gold base, and a large emerald gem in the centre, almost the exact side of the base. Bigger than conker, and deeper than the oceans on any planet. "You are so lucky Cellina. For your father to give you this…what's this?" she had been tracing it with her fingers, when she felt something on the back. She turned it over, and saw Cellina was engraved on it many times.
30 times exactly. "That's odd…a whole line of Cellinas. Her family must have a long line of Cellinas…but…Vegeta's wife is called Bulma…so…" she looked down at the engravings, and raised a brow.
There is something fishy going on here…
Chello walked back with the locket, to be ambushed at the door. "Prince Cooler!" She lowered her head and bowed.
"What were you doing in Cellina's room? Is she back!" she hated to damped his spirits, but she told him the truth.
"No. Cellina has yet to hit her hear, and I am just going to return to her. I had to get this for her." She showed the large gem pendant to Cooler, and he looked impressed.
"Who gave her that?"
"Her father. It looks like it has been passed down through her family. Like an heirloom "
"Odd…I don't remember Father saying Vegeta had any such gems in his family collection…"
"They must have."
"Indeed…May I see her?"
"I am sorry, but not until her heat has finished." How may times had she explained that now?
"Oh…" Cooler folded his arms behind his back, and looked to her with soft eyes. "Please…could you tell her something for me?"
"Sure." She beamed. "Get well soon?"
"Yes, as soon as possible. As I miss her terribly. And I need her answer…"
"Answer?" oh no…not…couldn't be.
Cooler smiled warmly, and puffed out his chest with pride.
"I asked her to marry me. But she fainted and that is why I brought her to the infirmary. I love her so much…tell her I love her, and want her to be healthy soon. Just take care of her for me. Nothing matters to me more than her wellbeing."
"I…" two men? She has TWO men hounding after her? "I will." Who's a lucky girl then? She chuckled at the thought, and remembered how Cellina said she couldn't have them both at once. Now she knew who 'them both' were. No wonder she asked to have them both banned from the infirmary. "She will probably start any day now. Then a week later, she will be free to go."
"Cellina will be the future Empress of the universe. Treat her as such, I ask you."
"I will." She smiled. So just who does she love? She will only love on in her heart…but which one? "I must be going."
"Good. And please…"
"I will tell her."
"Thank you."
"No problem. I seem to be quite the messenger today." She chuckled nervously, and then quickly made her way back to the infirmary.
Chello smirked with a chuckle, and walked into Cellina's cell.
"You have it?" Cellina asked immediately.
"I do." She chose her words carefully. "And do you accept this, till death do you part?"
"…what?" she raised a brow, and then took the pendant from Chello.
"Oh, nothing."
"You certainly look smug with yourself Namek." Cellina fastened the necklace around her neck, and placed her hand cupped over the gem. Just feeling it around her neck made her smile.
"I met a couple of young strapping, very loved up men." At this, Cellina's eyes opened wide and she looked to Chello with shock.
"No…not…you know!"
"I, do." She sang, and Cellina groaned.
"And you know of Prince Cooler and his-"
"Proposal? Oh yes. You are certainly popular aren't you Lady Cellina?" she chuckled.
"I never planned this."
"Well, first a pink skinned master called Buu, Majin Buu, asked me to tell you he loves you."
"Oh boy."
"Then I met his highness."
"I can't believe this."
"And he said, 'tell her I love her, and want her to be healthy soon. Just take care of her for me. Nothing matters to me more than her wellbeing.' He looked like he would burst with joy when he told me how he proposed to you."
"How could this have happened?" Chello registered that Cellina had gone off into her own world.
"Cellina?"
"I heard you, but…oh my Kami. What have I gotten myself into? I didn't do anything!" she turned and said to Chello. "I swear, they just, fell for me and I did them. I didn't mean for it to happen!"
"Well, you haven't fallen for them both. You are just confused on which one to pick." She then looked around, and back to her when she knew they were alone. "But your heart does."
"What do you mean Namek?"
"Well." She let the name thing go. She wasn't herself. "In your heart, there will be only one face there. No matter if you know it or not, there is one. And there is always a certain way to know…"
"Are you suggesting…"
"Shhh! Chello looked out the door window again, to make sure they were alone. "Well, I could arrange for them both to be in the same room. Then…have you walk in…and your own heat would tell you which one you truly love."
"And then what?"
"Have you removed back here. Of course."
"But…that isn't fair." She sat down. Chello was right. Having the pendant was certainly keeping her sane. "The one I don't go to, will be crushed."
"Not as crushed as if he found out you loved the other, after going to the wrong one. And that way, you would know." She thought for a moment. "Does Kyaime have this problem?"
"No." she chuckled. "Kyaime knows just who she loves. She has done for quite a while. Last night, she screamed for him in her sleep. A few well planned out questions here and there…and I had it all out of her before you could say Capsule Corp."
"What is that?"
"Mmmmmmmmmm, nothing." She sat back on the bed. "Would you get in trouble for this, helping me see who my heart holds dear?"
"Not if we were clever about it." Chello sat with her, no longer afraid. She was glad she went to get the pendant. "If we were really clever, we could even do it without the 'boys in question' knowing about it."
"How!" Cellina jumped at that. "Tell me how!" she held Chello's green hands, and had pleading eyes. Even if they were dilated.
"Well…if I could get a sample from each of them…without them knowing…and if I don't tell you who it is…your Saiyan nose would smell out your 'desired pray' like that." She clicked her fingers, showing how easy and quick it would be. "But I would have to blind fold you, cover your ears, block out every sense other than smell. When the one true smell meets your nose, then you will react, and tell me. Then I will know."
"And then tell me."
"Yes, after I do a double check."
"Oh thank you Chello!" she threw her arms around Chello's neck, and hugged her.
"AAAA!" Chello gasped. "CANT, BREATHE!"
"Sorry." Cellina smiled, and let her go. "You don't know how much this means to me Chello." Chello beamed when she called her by her name, and nodded.
"Alright. I will get samples from them tomorrow. But I will need a massage each for them."
"Let me see….tell Cooler that I am thinking about his question…but I need time."
"And Buu?"
"Tell him I will be out as soon as I can, and then I look forward to beating him up in his own cage." Chello raised a brow at that, but decided against asking.
"Alright." She nodded, and then saw Piccolo enter the infirmary through the door window. "Got to go."
"Very well." They both stood, and Cellina grabbed her arm. Her long white tail waved contently behind her, and her hair still wildly covered one eye. But for a moment, Chello thought she saw her dark eye return to normal size. "And thank you so much."
"You're welcome." They bid each other good night, and Chello left her.
So I will know, for sure, at last. Cellina sat on her bed. She should be asleep now, but she sat up, holding her necklace and thinking hard. I will finally know who I really love. I thought it was Cooler when I was with him last…when he proposed to me…but then I saw Majin Buu and I thought I loved him…I bet it's my damn heat! Telling me I love the one who is with me at the time, to make me mate with them! Well, this way, I can be sure. And then…then what do I do?
If it's Cooler, will I say yes and marry him? Or will I ask for more time to get to know him? After all, I have to be sure to make sure you are legit, and that you would come back to my dimension. I know my father would (barely) approve of him then. But what about Lord Vegeta, and his plans for me here? He still has yet to contact me about my mission here.
Fit in?
How about get engaged?
I always did go that one step further. She laughed, and laid back. Her tail flicked at her side every now and then, and she sighed. But if it proves to be Buu, how can I say no to Cooler?
And I know Buu was going to ask me to marry him before, when he said he needed to ask me something. So do I say no to Cooler, and then yes to Buu? Again, what would Lord Vegeta say to that?
Then she remembered what Kold had said.
"Just so you know. My physicians have healed him fully and are on their way to heal young Majin Buu as we speak. A lively one that Buu. He will be very useful..."
Very useful huh? What for? They made a deal for him to get up with the masters, Buu got to be near me…but what did Kold get? She growled angrily, and closed her eyes. Too many thoughts. I have to focus if I want to have another dreamless sleep. I will NOT be dreaming of having either of them in bed again…or on the floor…or in the shower…or all three…damn it!
It took half of the night for her to get to sleep, because of erotic fantasies, but at last she managed it.
Tomorrow she would know who she loved, for sure. There would be no ifs or buts about it. She would know the one and only one she held dear to her heart. And that would answer most, if not all of her questions. For now, she didn't think anymore on it. Until she knew who she loved, she couldn't take anymore conclusions or make any decisions.
But once she knew, she would really need to stop and think what to do next.
Decisions had to be made, and one warrior, prince or not, would end up very unhappy.
