As soon as her head hit the pillow she was out. The others trailed out of the room. To avoid any other comments or questions, Vegeta headed straight for the Gravity Room (GR) to train to work off his anger. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++
Morning came sooner than she would have expected. Feeling a bit more energized she was ready to tackle her greatest challenge: Vegeta.
Down stairs in the family room the Z warriors were all in attendance, and the Saiyan prince has yet to grace them with his presence. Outside of the kitchen, in the back yard Bulma and Yamcha were having a heated discussion.
"Where were you last night?" He asked.
"At home"
"No you weren't. I called you---I don't know how many times. You were with 'him' weren't you?" The accusations began to fly.
"Him, who?" Bulma looked at her boyfriend with a confused look.
"Vegeta"
"Look Yamcha, I don't have to explain my whereabouts to you." She didn't deny it.
He didn't like that answer. He grabbed her roughly by the arms; "I will not have my girlfriend coercing with the enemy. Vegeta is bad news."
"Let go of me! What's gotten into you!" Bulma began to shout.
"Are you fuckin' him?!" Now that was uncalled for.
"WHAT?!!! You're crazy!" It was apparent the he was jealous.
"So you don't deny it! I knew it! You won't sleep with me but you spread you legs for that monkey. How could you?!!"
SMACK!!!
Bulma was thrown back into the door. Stars danced behind her eyes as her vision blurred in and out of focus.
/Oh.my.Kami! He's gonna kill me. I always thought that Vegeta would do it but Yamcha. Man, if I get out of this alive he's history!/
The prince of Saiyans had finished his training for the morning before going into the meeting with Kakarott and the other weak humans, when he heard a loud bang that shook the side of the house that he was on. He paused briefly stretching out his senses. He felt a strong ki but not powerful enough to do any real damage. Then, he felt a much weaker ki.
/The woman and her poor excuse of a mate must be arguing again/ Vegeta concluded but something didn't feel right for the next thing he heard was, 'You know Bulma I always thought that you would come to me willingly but seeing how you like that murderer---'
Nothing else was heard beyond that. Vegeta cursed, he knew what that jerk was planning on doing and he would be damned if he let someone else that he cares about get hurt.
/WAIT-A-MINUTE!!! Did I just say care. Do I care for Bulma?/ He thought as he rounded a corner only to have his world shaken and flipped upside down.
There on the ground was his only source of enjoyment on this Hellhole of a planet, and directly above her was that low life Yamcha. Vegeta didn't hesitate. Blasting off in a haze of blue fury, he plowed into the one that was feeding his growing appetite to destroy something and Yamcha was the main course.
"GRRRAH!!!"
"What the f---" Was all Yamcha could manage as the enraged prince clocked him in the jaw.
He sailed twenty feet across the lawn before coming to a sudden stop. He impacted a tree, if that was not there he thought for sure that he would still be flying across the yard. He rubbed his jaw. It was definitely cracked from the punch and as he tried to stand, he was suddenly hoisted into the air.
"Why you bastard! How could you hit a defenseless woman?!" Even Vegeta wasn't that heartless.
"Now, calm down Vegeta. We had a little misunderstanding---" Yamcha said, he knew his life was over by the look on warriors face.
"MISUNDERSTANDING MY ASS!!! I'M SENDING YOU TO THE OTHER WORLD!!! AND NO AMOUNT OF BEGGING IS GOING TO SAVE YOUR SORRY ASS!!!"
By this time everyone ran out of the house to the scene of Vegeta holding a very scared Yamcha. Goku flew over there before Vegeta could get an energy ball formed. He knew that the older Saiyan was upset and with the arrival of another Saiyan that wasn't making things easier for him.
"Vegeta no! You don't wanna do this! He's my friend and besides what will Bulma say if you killed him." Goku tried to defuse the situation.
"I wouldn't be here now if this scumbag didn't hit her!!!" Vegeta roared, shedding some light for his current wrath.
"What?!!!" Goku stood there slacked jaw.
"Yeah, that's right Kakarott. This asshole friend of yours hit his girlfriend for what reason I don't know, and frankly I don't care but I'm not going to let him near her again." Vegeta was though talking. He powered up gathering energy to finish off the coward.
"STOP VEGETA!" The angelic voice commanded halting the prince from further actions.
Standing in the mist of everyone she approached the trio. She towered over them even Goku.
"This does not concern you. Go back and help the woman." That was an order not a request.
"Whatever you do does concern me, and Bulma has all the help she needs. Please put him down. We can solve this by other means than you sending him to the Other World." She closed the gap between them and placed a gentle hand on his arm.
Not wanting to give in to her, he reluctantly dropped his prey on the ground. Vegeta stomped back in the house cursing and complaining in his native tongue while he waited for others to return. He didn't bother asking Bulma what the fight was about.
He already knew it was about him it was always about him. Of late, Vegeta heard all the screaming and yelling over Yamcha's jealousy about the prince and how he couldn't handle Vegeta living in the same house as his girlfriend. Like always Yamcha blew it to mass proportions and lashed out against the object that he claimed to love, but this time Vegeta's there to pick-up the pieces.
The prince went about as if nothing happened. He vowed to himself that Yamcha or any other weakling would never again hurt those who he cares about the most.
* * * *
The blue haired temptress sat on the sofa nursing the swollen bruise on her face whilst the others stared at Yamcha in utter shock. They couldn't fathom the fact the he would be so cruel as to do bodily harm to Bulma, but one thing that they did figured out for sure was that if he ever came near Bulma again Vegeta would makes sure that he wouldn't leave under he own strength.
The Saiyan prince stood in a corner away from everyone. He didn't need to have any body near him at this point he was generating so much heat that the air condition had to be turned on.
//Are you sure you're all right, Veg?// She said, trying to sound worried.
//If you fuckin' call me that one more time I'll---//
//ooh, be quiet you hot head. You know that was always your problem// She chastised back.
//Just get on with the blasted story// Vegeta mentally shot back in mock anger.
Everyone noticed how Vegeta keep his eyes closed with a slight smirk while the girl eyed him with the same exact look. Goku remember the same situation from last night but it was the other way around. Having his curiosity get the better of him he decided to ask, "Who are you? And how do you know Vegeta?"
"I'm sorry. We didn't exactly get to formerly introduce ourselves last night. My name is Valencia but you can call me Valen for short. Queen of the planet Valentinus. First princess of Vegetasei, and sister to crown prince, Vegeta."
"WHAT???!!!" That was everyone's combined response. They couldn't believe it Vegeta have a sister.
"Oh, man! How the heck did that happen?!!" Krillin asked.
All eyes were on the prince but he wasn't offering any type of an explanation of his royal family tree so they looked at the young queen.
"My father, King Vegeta, was on a purging mission. He was leading one of the Elite teams. Anyway, they did a lay over on Valentinus. It was their first time on the planet and was shock to find that the planet was heavily populated with females. Anyway, the king and his men had stormed the castle with my mother and her guards inside.
Once they felt that they had taken over they let their guard down. My mother and guards fought back easily. Not only did the guards manage to retake the throne room, but also the King and my mother were evenly matched, and that's when they noticed each other for the first time.
They never married. It was forbidding by our law for them to do so 'cause he was already mated. To actually become king of our planet the male must not have had any previous mates. As I grew up I would spend my winters with my father and Vegeta learning about my Saiyan heritage, but I would spend most of my time with Vegeta when he wasn't away on missions.
Because of our Saiyan blood and royal background we've developed a bond. The bond is similar to a mated pair bond with the exception of not having to consummate the relationship. Because we are siblings, we could feel each other emotions as well as tap into each other's mind.
That's why Goku, when you were looking at us you knew something was going on but could not quite put your finger on it." Valen turned bright eyes toward the other Saiyan.
Goku placed his hand behind his head in his usual fashion and chuckled a bit, "I kinda guessed that last night but I wasn't for sure."
The room was laced with questions about the planet with female warriors. "You mean that the whole entire planet constant of nothing but females?" Asked a wide-eyed Bulma.
"Yes, but please don't get me wrong. We also have our male population as well."
"So your planet is like Earth, right?" She asked again.
"No. We keep our male population down for fear of them over running the planet and corrupting it with outside forces."
"Uh, when you mean that you kept the population down. uh what did you mean by that?" Krillin asked, a little scared as to what the answer would be.
"We only use males for breeding purposes and they're useless for anything else. Actually, if the male was not born in the royal house or was not an Elite, they didn't have any Rights. In short, we either sold them off the planet or pause or we killed them."
"My gosh! That's barbaric! How could you do a thing like that?" Bulma said, refusing to believe what she just heard.
"She's a Saiyan. Those bastards have no feelings or remorse when it comes to other races." Yamcha added his two cents worth.
"BACK OFF!!! I'm only half Saiyan. Yes, I crave the bloodshed and the fighting but it is also in my nature to be stronger than any man. However, being in my weakened state I was not able to protect myself." Valen started to waver a bit in her speech. She turned sad eyes to her brother.
"Then it seems that you're not much of a warrior if you can't fight off weak males and have to hide behind your kid brother to protect you." Yamcha grinned. Valen bowed her head somewhat, but the feeling of being superior over the girl didn't last long.
"For your information---" Vegeta said as he pushed himself off the wall to go stand next to his sister while sending a death glare toward the ex- highway bandit. "Valencia is my BABY sister and she can very easily kick your ass if she chooses to do so.
However, the male that she was dealing with knew that she didn't have the strength to fight back because she was in heat at the time. Which makes females a little more receptive of males, because of the need to bond and mate fills their senses.
Since Valencia is only half Saiyan that need was half as strong she would have accepted the male with no problems but the mating was forced and she didn't want it to begin with."
By this time Valen turned away from the group. She knew that Vegeta had to tell them about what happen and it was the only way if they were going to help her. That was when they noticed her appearance for the first time.
Aside from the fact the she was alluring in the regal colored body suit and killer steel gray eyes to ensnare any one who looked into them but she had a glow about her. Bulma eyed the girl and gasped aloud taking note of the slight bulge of her stomach. Surely, that it was some type of trick. It had to have been; she would have noticed it last night, right?
Bulma rose off the couch and stood in front of the girl and leaned into her wrapping her arms around her. The embrace felt like a mother hugging a child for comfort after waking up to a terrible nightmare, and that's what this was a nightmare.
"Your pregnant?" She whispered in her ear but said loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Yes" Came the sad reply.
* * * *
Bulma had escorted Valen to the lab for a few tests to make sure that everything was going well with the pregnancy. Vegeta stayed in the family room with the other Z fighters answering questions that he really didn't feel like answering.
"So, Vegeta, why is she scared of this guy? Who is he anyway?" Goku asked hoping that he'll get some light on the subject.
"His name is Branigan. He was an Elite warrior for my father. After my father and stepmother's battle it became clear that my father wanted her. A few months later she gave birth to Valencia and my father decided to leave a chosen few to protect the queen and princess." Vegeta stopped himself trying to keep a tight lid on his anger as he talked about that rat, but he didn't finish. Goku did that for him.
"So this Branigan guy was one of the guards and the father of Valen's child." Goku paused briefly something wasn't clicking for the younger Saiyan. "Vegeta why didn't your sister want him as a mate?"
"Since she has enhance sensing, she could basically filter out weak males. However, Branigan came off as a strong male an Elite warrior but something wasn't right about him for her.
From what I remember Valentinus is a very wealthy planet and not to mention loaded with females. Just imagine selling off those females to the highest bidder and keeping some for your own personal pleasures; one would make a killing off that. Branigan needs to be in charge of things even if he did it behind Valen's back no one would question it because he's mated to the queen.
The only problem is that if Valen became sick or ill total control would go to the king but people would get suspicious if the queen suddenly died right after the couples mating. Branigan needed a plan to insure that he would become king no matter what." Vegeta ended it there.
He never mentioned that if Valen dies without an heir that he could ascend to the throne.
"So he takes advantage of the queen and impregnated her to get her to accept him as a mate." Goku pieced together and also utterly disgusted that someone would such a thing as harm a beautiful creature like Valen.
The look didn't go unnoticed by the prince but he said nothing. He's known for some time that Goku and his mate were having problems since his tail was regenerated. Goku's been driven on instinct more than emotions, which also means that he's been going into heat more often.
At this point Vegeta would not be surprised if Valen's scent has attracted the young fighter.
"Yes, and if he finds her she's good as dead. She can't defend herself while she is with child. She is supposed to depend on her mate for protection, but seeing that she's not mated she has to keep her energy level to a bare minimum so that he is unable to detect her and protect the baby. The force only from the power that she wields would kill the baby. I'm surprised that she's able to walk around with having little to almost no energy."
"She can't be a that strong. I mean---come on, you guys are the strongest fighters in the universe, right?" Krillin stated.
"That maybe true Baldy, but she wields a hidden power of Valentinus that has not be seen for thousands of years just like the legendary Super Saiyan but instead of one SSJ there's two." Vegeta answered.
"What kind of power is that?" Tien asked, who had remained quiet the entire time he had been there.
"Kakarrott and myself were able to ascend to SSJ because of an explosive anger deep within ourselves as well as use energy waves and special attack moves. Valen can use energy waves also, but it weakens her, so she must focus on hand combat that uses less energy. She will only use energy blast to finish off her enemy."
"Hand combat seems like that would do only half the job if you're fighting an enemy stronger than you." Piccolo finally made his presence known as well.
"True, but Valen also uses special weapons that was forged on her home planet that she uses."
"Really?" Yamcha added. "Care to elaborate." He had another skim forming.
"No."
"Come on Vegeta. You can't stay mad forever. He's just trying to find out a little bit more about Valen, just like the rest of us." Goku confessed.
"My answer is still no. She only uses the weapons during combat, so if you really want to know? Fight her. Now, if you are all finished I have to tend to my sister." Vegeta was about to turn and leave when ValJean approached him whispering into his ear. (A/N: Thought I forgot about him, huh?)
After a few hushed tones Vegeta took off toward Bulma's lab. Upon entering it he saw Valen on one of the examination tables asleep. He walked over to Bulma who was currently looking into a microscope.
"Bulma"
"Oh, Vegeta I didn't hear you come in"
"ValJean has told me that you wanted to see me. What's wrong?" She saw the concerned look across his handsome face for his sister, which made telling him the news about Valen harder.
"Well, I'm not a doctor but from my observations she needs to be in the hospital. At lease there she can be monitored round the clock. She's under a lot of stress. Her blood count is off the charts compared with yours and Goku's.
Plus she's tells me that she has been having a lot of headaches and stomachaches. Seeing that she's already two months pregnant the baby should be three times the size of a human fetus."
Bulma took in a sharp breath and gave Vegeta the final blow, which she knows for sure that will make him lose whatever hold he had on his temper. "The baby's not growing like how it should. If Valen doesn't get the rest that she needs and the nutrition there is a hundred percent possibility that she could miscarry."
The prince stood there wide eye. He couldn't believe it. His sister could lose the baby because she's running scared from a madman bent on taking over her planet. Although, losing the baby meant that she wouldn't have to be reminded of the horrible act of how it was conceived. He knew that she should terminate the pregnancy but---
"How long will she be asleep woman?" The prince questioned.
"BULMA! MY NAME IS BULMA! YOU JERK!" She shouted.
Vegeta couldn't help it as a slight smile crept across his lips. He moved closer to her. She was transfixed to where she was sitting as the prince shortens the distance between them. It felt like her stomach was on a roller coaster ride and the closer that Vegeta was to her the more she that wanted to throw herself at him.
This time he wasn't going to stop himself. His face was mere inches from hers. Looking into her fathomless pools of blue he whispers, "I know."
But before she could counter the smart remark with one of her own he kissed her. Both felt their skin on fire. Bulma did what was natural and snaked her arms around Vegeta's neck as he slipped his tongue into her warm inviting mouth. How long has she waited for him to do this? She couldn't think her mind was becoming a jumbled mess with Vegeta's questions long gone unanswered.
The prince held on to Bulma with one hand at the small of her back and the other at the base of her neck. He released the kiss trailing a blaze down her jaw line to the juncture where her neck and shoulder met. The need to mark her right then and there was overpowering.
He smelt the sweetness of her arousal with the burning need of wanting him, but this wasn't the place. He would take her but not now, he had a plan to implement. He needed his wits about himself and could not be distracted by the blue-haired siren.
* * * *
The halls of the white stone wall palace were empty. The every day hustle and bustle stopped well over 3 months ago when the young matriarch fled with her guardian. The people knew that she had to get away or there would be no hope of saving their race.
The male, who now stood in the receiving throne room, manage to enslave the Valerian village, and was working his way around until the entire planet was his. But he couldn't do it without the royal heir he needed her to keep the village leaders in check.
If the village leaders found out his plans they would retake the capitol and he couldn't afford that. He had several buyers already for pleasure slaves and the buyers were paying a hefty a price for each lovely female.
However, his biggest prize was the young queen and he was going to make sure that she stayed with him no matter what the cost. He wanted her power and only the queen's mate could tap into that power.
He took pleasure in making her writhe beneath him as he thrusts deep into her tight folds. He felt the scorching heat raising in his groin from the after thought of that night, but he wasn't able to complete the bonding. Somehow, in her weakened state, she managed to knock him out cold and escape. He was going to make sure that she learned her place as his submissive Saiyan mate.
During the cover of night he and his guards with the help of some of the male slaves, collared the female population with energy dampeners. The only one who escaped the take-over was the queen, and this didn't bode well with the man.
As he sat on the queen's throne a messenger arrived hopefully with news as to the whereabouts of the queen.
"My Lord" The short man did a quick bow and proceeded with his report. "The homing device that was planted on the queen's vessel has halted. It seems that she has landed on the primitive planet called Earth. We await your orders to dispatch the men to retrieve her my Lord."
"Very good Ekko. Go and fetch my prize." The younger guard turned heels and disappeared back through the throne room doors.
/Yes, my beloved soon you'll be mine for all eternity/
~TBC~
A/N: What is the hidden power that Vegeta is referring to? It might come forth in the next chapter ^_~
I guess I should clarify some things: The timeline takes place after the fight on Namek with Frieza but Goku actually defeated him as well as that our hero is not a complete baka like everyone claims him to be. Mirai Trunks didn't come to warn everyone about the androids, so no androids and no cell. Vegeta and Bulma do get together (my style). The planet Vegetasei was only destroyed three years ago by Frieza. Because of his sudden loss of his home world, Vegeta didn't think about going to Valentinus for his sister that was the last thing on his mind. And I think that just about covers it. Please review. Bye for now,
Nemesis

"Then it seems that you're not much of a warrior if you can't fight off weak males and have to hide behind your kid brother to protect you." Yamcha grinned. Valen bowed her head somewhat, but the feeling of being superior over the girl didn't last long.
"For your information---" Vegeta said as he pushed himself off the wall to go stand next to his sister while sending a death glare toward the ex- highway bandit. "Valencia is my BABY sister and she can very easily kick your ass if she chooses to do so.
However, the male that she was dealing with knew that she didn't have the strength to fight back because she was in heat at the time. Which makes females a little more receptive of males, because of the need to bond and mate fills their senses.
Since Valencia is only half Saiyan that need was half as strong she would have accepted the male with no problems but the mating was forced and she didn't want it to begin with."
By this time Valen turned away from the group. She knew that Vegeta had to tell them about what happen and it was the only way if they were going to help her. That was when they noticed her appearance for the first time.
Aside from the fact the she was alluring in the regal colored body suit and killer steel gray eyes to ensnare any one who looked into them but she had a glow about her. Bulma eyed the girl and gasped aloud taking note of the slight bulge of her stomach. Surely, that it was some type of trick. It had to have been; she would have noticed it last night, right?
Bulma rose off the couch and stood in front of the girl and leaned into her wrapping her arms around her. The embrace felt like a mother hugging a child for comfort after waking up to a terrible nightmare, and that's what this was a nightmare.
"Your pregnant?" She whispered in her ear but said loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Yes" Came the sad reply.
* * * *
Bulma had escorted Valen to the lab for a few tests to make sure that everything was going well with the pregnancy. Vegeta stayed in the family room with the other Z fighters answering questions that he really didn't feel like answering.
"So, Vegeta, why is she scared of this guy? Who is he anyway?" Goku asked hoping that he'll get some light on the subject.
"His name is Branigan. He was an Elite warrior for my father. After my father and stepmother's battle it became clear that my father wanted her. A few months later she gave birth to Valencia and my father decided to leave a chosen few to protect the queen and princess." Vegeta stopped himself trying to keep a tight lid on his anger as he talked about that rat, but he didn't finish. Goku did that for him.
"So this Branigan guy was one of the guards and the father of Valen's child." Goku paused briefly something wasn't clicking for the younger Saiyan. "Vegeta why didn't your sister want him as a mate?"
"Since she has enhance sensing, she could basically filter out weak males. However, Branigan came off as a strong male an Elite warrior but something wasn't right about him for her.
From what I remember Valentinus is a very wealthy planet and not to mention loaded with females. Just imagine selling off those females to the highest bidder and keeping some for your own personal pleasures; one would make a killing off that. Branigan needs to be in charge of things even if he did it behind Valen's back no one would question it because he's mated to the queen.
The only problem is that if Valen became sick or ill total control would go to the king but people would get suspicious if the queen suddenly died right after the couples mating. Branigan needed a plan to insure that he would become king no matter what." Vegeta ended it there.
He never mentioned that if Valen dies without an heir that he could ascend to the throne.
"So he takes advantage of the queen and impregnated her to get her to accept him as a mate." Goku pieced together and also utterly disgusted that someone would such a thing as harm a beautiful creature like Valen.
The look didn't go unnoticed by the prince but he said nothing. He's known for some time that Goku and his mate were having problems since his tail was regenerated. Goku's been driven on instinct more than emotions, which also means that he's been going into heat more often.
At this point Vegeta would not be surprised if Valen's scent has attracted the young fighter.
"Yes, and if he finds her she's good as dead. She can't defend herself while she is with child. She is supposed to depend on her mate for protection, but seeing that she's not mated she has to keep her energy level to a bare minimum so that he is unable to detect her and protect the baby. The force only from the power that she wields would kill the baby. I'm surprised that she's able to walk around with having little to almost no energy."
"She can't be a that strong. I mean---come on, you guys are the strongest fighters in the universe, right?" Krillin stated.
"That maybe true Baldy, but she wields a hidden power of Valentinus that has not be seen for thousands of years just like the legendary Super Saiyan but instead of one SSJ there's two." Vegeta answered.
"What kind of power is that?" Tien asked, who had remained quiet the entire time he had been there.
"Kakarrott and myself were able to ascend to SSJ because of an explosive anger deep within ourselves as well as use energy waves and special attack moves. Valen can use energy waves also, but it weakens her, so she must focus on hand combat that uses less energy. She will only use energy blast to finish off her enemy."
"Hand combat seems like that would do only half the job if you're fighting an enemy stronger than you." Piccolo finally made his presence known as well.
"True, but Valen also uses special weapons that was forged on her home planet that she uses."
"Really?" Yamcha added. "Care to elaborate." He had another skim forming.
"No."
"Come on Vegeta. You can't stay mad forever. He's just trying to find out a little bit more about Valen, just like the rest of us." Goku confessed.
"My answer is still no. She only uses the weapons during combat, so if you really want to know? Fight her. Now, if you are all finished I have to tend to my sister." Vegeta was about to turn and leave when ValJean approached him whispering into his ear. (A/N: Thought I forgot about him, huh?)
After a few hushed tones Vegeta took off toward Bulma's lab. Upon entering it he saw Valen on one of the examination tables asleep. He walked over to Bulma who was currently looking into a microscope.
"Bulma"
"Oh, Vegeta I didn't hear you come in"
"ValJean has told me that you wanted to see me. What's wrong?" She saw the concerned look across his handsome face for his sister, which made telling him the news about Valen harder.
"Well, I'm not a doctor but from my observations she needs to be in the hospital. At lease there she can be monitored round the clock. She's under a lot of stress. Her blood count is off the charts compared with yours and Goku's.
Plus she's tells me that she has been having a lot of headaches and stomachaches. Seeing that she's already two months pregnant the baby should be three times the size of a human fetus."
Bulma took in a sharp breath and gave Vegeta the final blow, which she knows for sure that will make him lose whatever hold he had on his temper. "The baby's not growing like how it should. If Valen doesn't get the rest that she needs and the nutrition there is a hundred percent possibility that she could miscarry."
The prince stood there wide eye. He couldn't believe it. His sister could lose the baby because she's running scared from a madman bent on taking over her planet. Although, losing the baby meant that she wouldn't have to be reminded of the horrible act of how it was conceived. He knew that she should terminate the pregnancy but---
"How long will she be asleep woman?" The prince questioned.
"BULMA! MY NAME IS BULMA! YOU JERK!" She shouted.
Vegeta couldn't help it as a slight smile crept across his lips. He moved closer to her. She was transfixed to where she was sitting as the prince shortens the distance between them. It felt like her stomach was on a roller coaster ride and the closer that Vegeta was to her the more she that wanted to throw herself at him.
This time he wasn't going to stop himself. His face was mere inches from hers. Looking into her fathomless pools of blue he whispers, "I know."
But before she could counter the smart remark with one of her own he kissed her. Both felt their skin on fire. Bulma did what was natural and snaked her arms around Vegeta's neck as he slipped his tongue into her warm inviting mouth. How long has she waited for him to do this? She couldn't think her mind was becoming a jumbled mess with Vegeta's questions long gone unanswered.
The prince held on to Bulma with one hand at the small of her back and the other at the base of her neck. He released the kiss trailing a blaze down her jaw line to the juncture where her neck and shoulder met. The need to mark her right then and there was overpowering.
He smelt the sweetness of her arousal with the burning need of wanting him, but this wasn't the place. He would take her but not now, he had a plan to implement. He needed his wits about himself and could not be distracted by the blue-haired siren.
* * * *
The halls of the white stone wall palace were empty. The every day hustle and bustle stopped well over 3 months ago when the young matriarch fled with her guardian. The people knew that she had to get away or there would be no hope of saving their race.
The male, who now stood in the receiving throne room, manage to enslave the Valerian village, and was working his way around until the entire planet was his. But he couldn't do it without the royal heir he needed her to keep the village leaders in check.
If the village leaders found out his plans they would retake the capitol and he couldn't afford that. He had several buyers already for pleasure slaves and the buyers were paying a hefty a price for each lovely female.
However, his biggest prize was the young queen and he was going to make sure that she stayed with him no matter what the cost. He wanted her power and only the queen's mate could tap into that power.
He took pleasure in making her writhe beneath him as he thrusts deep into her tight folds. He felt the scorching heat raising in his groin from the after thought of that night, but he wasn't able to complete the bonding. Somehow, in her weakened state, she managed to knock him out cold and escape. He was going to make sure that she learned her place as his submissive Saiyan mate.
During the cover of night he and his guards with the help of some of the male slaves, collared the female population with energy dampeners. The only one who escaped the take-over was the queen, and this didn't bode well with the man.
As he sat on the queen's throne a messenger arrived hopefully with news as to the whereabouts of the queen.
"My Lord" The short man did a quick bow and proceeded with his report. "The homing device that was planted on the queen's vessel has halted. It seems that she has landed on the primitive planet called Earth. We await your orders to dispatch the men to retrieve her my Lord."
"Very good Ekko. Go and fetch my prize." The younger guard turned heels and disappeared back through the throne room doors.
/Yes, my beloved soon you'll be mine for all eternity/
~TBC~
A/N: What is the hidden power that Vegeta is referring to? It might come forth in the next chapter ^_~
I guess I should clarify some things: The timeline takes place after the fight on Namek with Frieza but Goku actually defeated him as well as that our hero is not a complete baka like everyone claims him to be. Mirai Trunks didn't come to warn everyone about the androids, so no androids and no cell. Vegeta and Bulma do get together (my style). The planet Vegetasei was only destroyed three years ago by Frieza. Because of his sudden loss of his home world, Vegeta didn't think about going to Valentinus for his sister that was the last thing on his mind. And I think that just about covers it. Please review. Bye for now,
Nemesis
