Theme: Locket

Walking behind his newly acquired woman, formally named Usagi Tsukino, Vegeta peeked over her shoulder to see her once again clutching her prized possession in-between her little fingers. When he had made his way towards her just a few moments ago through the hallway his sensitive senses had picked up on two very distinct things that made his blood boil over. One was that sickening, sugary melody that coming from her locket while he nose had picked up on the scent of her tears.

That's why without even having to force her to turn around he could tell at this very moment that heavy tears were now flowing down her cheeks, smearing her dark make-up all over her porcelain face.

It didn't bother him so much that she was crying she was a woman after all. Women as he'd come to understand were prone to crying especially during a certain week out of the month. Vegeta had wished that she was crying over him, over the fact that they hadn't seen each other in over two months time. But, he knew without even asking that those tears weren't meant for him.

Usagi was crying over him once again.

Usagi, herself had never once explained the importance of the Star locket to Vegeta, she didn't dare but after he'd bonded their souls together he'd figured it out by searching through her memories. While he'd left Usagi in the dark about how to use her newly acquired privileges in searching his mind. That's why she never knew that he'd lied to her about where he had been for the past two months.

Vegeta had simply lied to his woman, telling her that he was going into outer space to train. Never did she guess that he was actually on a mission to search for raw materials before he took a trip into Other World to find a Sayjin who knew how to construct the very thing he was yearning for.

Snatching the locket from her grasp he wordlessly smashed the musical locket by forming a fist around it. Usagi gasped, surprised, before she whirled around. "Veg-" She began to breath out his name but when she saw the remains of the Star locket falling from his grasp her eyes widened.

"Vegeta!" She flung herself towards him, her little fists beating unmercifully on his chest.

Vegeta closed his eyes tightly trying to ignore the emotional pain welling up his chest or the other feelings she was stirring inside of him. Taking a hold of her tiny delicate hands into his larger hand he held them together above her head. "Why?" She asked helplessly, her eyes imploring him to tell her the truth.

While diverting his eyes away from her he reaching into his pocket, pulling out a small round silver-looking chained locket with the Planetary insignia of Vegeta-sei engraved on its lid.

Releasing her hands he dropped the small trinket into her hand while his thumb opened it. A thick sounding hypnotic song began to play, filled with what sounded to her like drums and some sort of wind instruments. Inside the locket she noticed a glowing red planet that she recognized to be Vegeta-sei. It wasn't until she mastered her new ability did she find out that this song was traditionally played at what Earthlings would consider a wedding ceremony between Sayjins.

"It's beautiful Vegeta," She paused, looking up and catching his graze. "But, you didn't need to destroy my Star locket. There isn't a rule written somewhere stating that I can only own one locket."

"Feh, yes there is," Vegeta narrowed his eyes onto hers. "Don't take me for a fool Usagi." She flinched not used to him calling her anything but woman or mate. "I know what that locket represents for you. I know that you had to pry that very locket from his cold and bloody hands after he died." She gasped, her eyes pleading with him not to continue. "Consider that locket to be your past, its broken as well as your old Planet and man. If you continue clinging onto it you will, mark my words destroy your future because I won't allow you to have another in your heart."

Vegeta wrapped her small fingers around the locket closing it tightly. "The choice is yours either embrace your future or destroy this locket right now and go searching for your past." He stated and before he could even turn away from her she had already flung herself into his embrace.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," She kept on repeating over and over again as if it were her own personal mantra. Dipping down Vegeta put a halt to her words the only way he knew how, by covering her mouth with his own.
