Here we go something to brighten everyone's Monday...another chapter! :) I'm going to try and keep up with updating once a week, this will let me keep ahead of myself in chapter writing. Thanks to all those who reviewed my first chapter, I'm still new to the site so I haven't figured every thing out yet so if I don't respond to your reviews it's cause I haven't figured it all out yet, please bare with me.

A note for the story:

Italics indicate thoughts while Bold is for emphasis and or yelling. Also /"indicates"/ a person speaking in Sayian. In this chapter I didn't feel like putting the / in every time someone talks so I put them at the begging and end of the chapter. I also did this for a few paragraphs in future chapters just to make things easier.

I own nothing...sad face :(

Ok I've gone on long enough on with the story...

-A distant planet somewhere in (Otherworld)space-

/There was a loud buzzing noise somewhere that wouldn't stop. Untangling herself from the cocoon of blankets that she was trapped in Kaida sighed as she turned off the alarm and slipped, okay maybe it was more like fell, out of bed and headed to the bathroom. Yawing she brushed the tangles from her silky waist-length black hair before putting it up into a proper up do before brushing her tail, not like it ever knotted, but still it looked better when it was brushed. She then cleaned her teeth and put on her earrings, necklace and ring. With a heavy sigh Kaida finally looked at herself in the mirror. Slowly she ran her thumb along the vicious scar that ran along the right side of her face from just above her eye all the way down to her chin; you would think that maybe after so many years it would have faded even a little, but no such luck. Raising her chin and tilting her head she then looked at the even more vicious scar that ran from under her right ear down across her neck and chest to end in the middle of the outside of her left breast. Glaring at her reflection Kaida grabbed her make-up and proceeded to cover both scars up.

Once she was satisfied with the job she returned to her room and removed her nightgown, placing it on the end of her bed before pulling on her underwear. Kaida then turned her attention to deciding if she would wear the proper corset-style coverings or just go with a simpler breast band, turning she looked at the dress she had laid out the night before and tossed the breast band back into the drawer and struggled to put on the corset. "Stupid...dumb...annoying piece of shit" Kaida quietly cursed the thing under her breath. When she finally got the thing on she looked down at her lace boots, "Fuck! I should have put my boots on before this stupid thing. Of all the times to have given my maid a day off...I just had to do it today." Mumbling curses at her corset Kaida struggled to put on the two inch lace calf high boots. Finally Kaida reached for her black silk dress and slipped it over her head, adjusting it in so that it fell smoothly to the floor. Kaida then picked up the delicate formal armor and pulled it on, turning she looked at herself in the full-length mirror while pulling on her white gloves. With the boots the simple skirt just brushed the floor, and her elbow length bell sleeves only reached her fingertips, unlike those of other court ladies whose sleeves touched the floor. Double checking herself in the mirror Kaida decided that it was as good as it was going to get, and headed out the front door and to the floating carriage that waited outside.

Getting into the carriage Kaida leaned her head back against the seat, closed her eyes and tried to relax. Unfortunately, all too soon the carriage arrived at the palace and the door man was opening the door and extending his hand to help her out. Kaida walked slowly but purposefully toward the castle door, ignoring the guards that lined the walkway and the other couriers in the area. Entering the main waiting area Kaida was surprised to see two familiar and thankfully friendly faces. "Tora? Fasha? What are you two doing here?" Kaida exclaimed reaching for Fasha's arm, pulling her into a hug before turning to Tora. "Bardock said that he wanted to be here for you, so we decided to come as well" Tora said bending to touch cheeks with Kaida. "Where is he?" she asked looking around, trying to spot him. "I think he went to find Raditz," Fasha mentioned looking around the crowd, "there they are!" Fasha pointed behind Kaida smiling. Turning Kaida smiled, "Grandpa! Uncle Raditz! You're here!" Bardock took her hands and rubbed cheeks with her, "of course we're here, one I am always here for you and two; the king asked me to be here." Stepping back Bardock looked Kaida over, "why are you not wearing one of your circlets? On a day like today you should be wearing more jewelry," Bardock shook his head. "Grandpa, on today of all days I am showing off the one thing I have that none of the other silly women here have, actually it is the one thing that I and only one other person on this planet has, or rather doesn't have." Kaida pointed to the space above Fasha's head where a golden halo hung, then pointed to the same space above her own head where there was no halo. "I am one of only two people on this planet who are still alive. That is worth more than any jewelry I could wear." Raditz placed a hand on her shoulder, "it is true, your life is one of your most valuable traits, but I think the king cares more about you as a person, then the fact that you are alive." Raditz then bent down and touched cheeks with Kaida.

"He's right you know, and being the most beautiful of all Saiyans helps as well." Surprised the group turned to see who was there. "Your Highness" Bardock and the others bowed. Kaida's face lit up and gave the new-comer a brilliant smile, "your Highness" she curtsied. Looking up through her eyelashes Kaida took in his appearance. The young prince was tall like his grandfather, and he had his father's spiky flame-like black hair only his was a little shorter. He wore full battle uniform with the royal crest on the left side of his armor. Bending down the prince grabbed Kaida's arm and lifted her up he held her close, wrapped his tail around her waist and began rubbing his cheek along the side of her face. "Ahem" Bardock cleared his throat, "Prince Vegeta, perhaps the audience chamber is not the best place for such displays." Blushing Kaida stepped back, "sorry Grandpa." Laughing Prince Vegeta took Kaida's hand, "Yes forgive me General Bardock, I forgot myself. It won't happen again." Laughing the others shook their heads. "Excuse me your Highness, but the King would like to see you...immediately." Seeing the servant the Prince sighed, "yes, yes I shall be there right away," rubbing his thumb along Kaida' hand he winked at her, "I shall see you later." Turning the Prince followed the servant into another chamber. "I believe that we should be heading as well, I think that the King will be arriving soon. Come along." Bardock offered Kaida his arm and let her away.

Standing in the throne room Kaida looked around at all the other noble Saiyans gathered. King Vegeta sat on his throne with Queen Xeraphina on his left and his grandson Prince Vegeta on his right. Standing the King motioned for silence. "I have two announcements. First my grandson has chosen the woman that he will mate, the granddaughter of General Bardock and niece of Colonel Raditz, the Lady Kaida. They will be joined sometime this year, although a date for their joining has yet to be decided. Second he has bought a house for her in the sacred mountain pass. He and his chosen will be moving there for a few months, with her grandfather and uncle acting as chaperons." After dealing with other business and dismissing the rest of the courtiers the King sat down with a sigh, "when you reach the house rest for a day then the next morning there will be a surprise there for you. Now get going all of you." With a wave of his arm the King dismissed them, bowing they turned and left./

Okay just a few ending remarks...I tried to stick with the whole vegetable theme for Sayians but I couldn't. Kaida is a Japanese name (according to baby names dot com) I have included the meaning of her name in one of the next chapters...I think it suits her. Xeraphina is a different spelling of the Latin name Serafina which means angel. I couldn't give her a tough name, not to sure why.

I wish I could draw so that I could show you all how I see Kaida, even Prince Vegeta but I can't draw to save my life lol. So you'll all have to use your imagination...unless someone who can draw and wants to takes it on.

Again please review, it really means a lot to read everyone's comments. Let me know what you think
