Note: Sorry anyone who has being reading this story, I bet ur getting pretty annoyed at me updating it like once every year or so! I've had a bad case of writers block, and had a mild depression last year, so I've finally got around to this story again. Hopefully I'll be updating a bit more regularly.
Chapter Nine – Where is she?
"AMOUND! WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYBODY!"
"Sir," they all replied.
"The STUPID girl is missing! I lost her in the crowd, go and scout the city for any trace of her,"
"But sir, there is over five million people in this city and…"
"Rezun shut the fuck up, unless you want to be the person I take out my displeasure on," Turles tone was low and menacing.
"No Sir, I didn't mean…"
"Good cause I don't care you little purple squashed grape!" he roared. "JUST FIND HER!"
"Yes sir!"
Holly scowled menacingly at her kidnapper; she couldn't believe that this was happening.
At least with back with the space pirates she had Duiiza and Amound, as her keepers, she had liked them, they looked like fun.
Now she was stuck with Mr no fun Slimy, with his thin greasy hair, and one mad eye.
"I know what you are, you're a saiya-jin, and your species is very rare and is now facing extinction. But you're a female, and there is supposed to be none of you left, do you know how much you're worth little one?"
"Wow ain't that just so interesting Slimy?" she pronounced it with such sarcasm, as she rolled her eyes. "Don't you think taking me to a warehouse isn't a bit too cliché?"
"Yes, no, oh just shut up. Just you wait there are quite few bounty hunter clans, would pay big bucks for you, especially for such a pretty and rare saiyan," he breathed as he rolled that creepy eye of his down at her, before heading across to the door of the warehouse
"And just what makes you think I'm a saiyan?" she asked sweetly.
He spun around, to face with an expression of pure shock, "What did you just say?"
"What makes you think I'm a saiyan?"
"Why you have a tail and the spiky hair…"
"And your telling me the all people with tails and spiky hair, makes them saiyans?"
He stumbled now on his words, in flustering "Yes, no, what I mean is…"
"Come on man, have you ever seen with pale yellow hair, blue eyes and with a spotted tail. And do you really think if I really was a saiyan that you would be able to catch me so easily?" Holly looked at him with a look of pure amusement.
He opened his mouth to answer, but then stopped with a confused and thoughtfully look on his face.
Being too busy thinking this over, he didn't notice the cunning smirk on the girl's lips.
Duiiza was flying low over the city buildings, when he spotted Amound coming in the opposite direction with Kakao.
He waved them over and landed on a top of a building.
"No trace either huh," Amound sighed, blowing a loose strand of hair out of his eyes.
"Where can that girl be?"
"Do you think she ran off, I don't think she would as she seemed quite intelligent, despite that pretty face and blonde hair," mused Duiiza
"I agree it doesn't seem likely, as she saw those men's expressions,"
"How are we going to find her? Turles will kill us if we return without her," Duiiza paused in thought.
"Plus she has my clothes, we so have to find her!"
"We could try and locate her through our scouters," Kakao spoke quietly.
The other two turned to look at him
"What?"
"We could do a search for her power level and split up to investigate them,"
"Kakoe I could kiss you right now," Duiiza grinned, asAmound and Kakao both gave him worried looks as they backed away slowly.
"What, it was joke guys,"
Back at the cliché warehouse, Holly snorted, in annoyance.
"I'm going to get out of this on my own I don't need no help from no man," she looked down at the ground she was now dangling above.
"I'm in so much trouble,"
She sighed; she shouldn't have pissed the guy off, by taking the mick out of him, as now she was in an even worse situation, hanging in chains from the roof.
Looking down at her feet she had brain wave, and started to power up, screaming as her saiyan strength kicked in snapping the chains.
"Wahoo!" she yelled, before realising she was in mid air then plummeted downwards.
"Aw shhhiiiittt!"
"I've done a search," Kakao, muttered focusing on his scouter's lens.
His two companions watched him in suspense, "And?"
"There a few matches, luckily for us despite her being weaker, she is a reasonable bit stronger than most of the population around here so her power level stands out,"
"So how many are there?"
"There's around fifty,"
"FIFTY!" Duiiza nearly keeled over.
"But one has distinct possibility, it is in area near where Turles lost contact with her,"
" We'll head over there now, and if ain't her we'll split up, to check to other possibilities," Amound grumbled, as he got the coordinates.
Holly peered around the door outside to see if it was all clear, before legging it down the alleyway.
"Where do you think you are going?" her kidnapper yelled, from behind her.
"To get milk, don't wait up!" she hollered back, as she sped around a corner.
"You little minx!"
He legged it after her, gaining on her, Holly being sick of running changed tactics as soon as she was in the open, of a car park, turned and faced him. Leaping into the air, as he lunged at her, she kicked him in the head. He staggered back swearing language that would have shocked the space pirates.
She prowled around him, eyes blazing. He went at her again trying to get a hold of her, but she pranced out of grasp each time.
Spotting two familiar figures in the shadows she froze "Duiiza, Amound!" she squealed leaping on top of Amound hugging him around the neck, taking the large pirate by surprise.
Noticing Kakao in the background, she blushed in embarrassment, and nodded at him, as did he to her.
"Needing to be rescue sweet heart?" Duiiza grinned mockingly at her as he walked over next to them.
"No, I'm a big girl,"
"Then why did he get a hold of you in the first place?" he taunted.
She scowled at him over Amound's shoulder, but before she could say anything she was grabbed from behind, by Slimy.
"Hey I would back off I were you," came a call from above, which distracted him long enough, for Holly to slip in close enough to crack him square in the face.
Looking up she realised it was Turles. The man now hung from Turles hand, shaking so much he pissed himself.
"I warned you," hissed Turles, before sending ki blast into the man's head blowing it up.
Holly gasped in shock as she stood behind him, before slipping into the shadows and disappearing.
Turles scowled at the mess in his hands, and then disposed of what was left the man.
Glancing over his shoulder he expect to see the girl, but saw nothing, he swung around in the direction of his men, who had been watching his display, now noticed that Holly was missing.
"PARZNIP!" he hollered causing the ground to shake.
Holly sat at the end of the pier at the other side of the city, looking across the purple coloured water, she had on leg dangling over the edge and the other pulled up against her chest with her head resting against it gently.
She heard footsteps behind her and identified them as Amound and Duiiza's.
"Why me?" she asked so quietly that both barely heard her.
Amound knelled down beside her, watching tears roll down her face slowly.
"Why do people want to possess and conquer me?"
Amound looked up at Duiiza, with the same unsure expression.
"You are so beautiful, even though you don't know it, that it catches people's attention, your also intelligent and cunning, which attracts men cause you are a challenge and you threaten them with it," he talked soothingly to her, while using a rough, coarse hand to lift her face, and rub away her tears with a large thumb.
Holly listened and leaned into his touch enjoying the comfort and warmth of it.
"Come on little one, time to go home," he rumbled, as he scooped her up.
"But it's not my home," she whispered.
