Author's note: Surprise! early update.

Chapter 3

I've been living with Kakarot for about a week now being worked to death with house work. I do get relief during the daytime when Kakarot is away doing his duties in the kingdom. My days have not gone to waste, I've been spending them exploring the forest around the house trying to map out a route I can take to leave the area safely. I've also been searching through the house trying to find anything that would useful in my escape. After seven official days of being patient I think tonight will be the night I make my big escape.

Kakarot has been sound asleep for about an hour now. I move silently off the couch and pulled a dagger out from under couch and crawl next to him in his bed. I rubbed his shoulder to make sure that he was as heavy of a sleeper that I thought he was, and he didn't move. I straddle my legs on either side of his waist and hold the dagger up above his heart. I close my eyes and put all my force into the blow into his chest but… it was abruptly stopped. I opened my eyes to see that my dagger was floating in mid-air, the point barely touching his chest. Then I realized that something was holding my wrists tightly, I look up a little further to see his hands were squeezing my wrists. He squeezed my wrists tight enough where he had complete control over me and forced me to drop the dagger on the floor. 'Ouch," I cried out trying to pull back from him, but instead of letting me go, he flipped me over on my back, forced his knee between my thighs, and placed as much of his weight on me as possible.

"You're quite feisty aren't you?" he whispered into my ear. I was trying my hardest to push him off of me, but the more I fought, the more he pushed back.

"Get off of me."

"Why would I do that, when you just tried to kill me? Not that it would've worked."

"What do you mean, my plan was perfect," I said still squirming underneath him.

"Ya it was but I could sense you're every movement the moment you moved from the couch… and you were too loud anyway. Besides even if you did hit me with the dagger, it wouldn't have been able to pierce my skin."

"I wasn't being loud, and how could you sense me? You were sound asleep." Kakarot let go of my wrists with the hand he was using and instead it the grab my chin, and used the other one to grab my thigh and force our bodies as close as possible. He turned my head to expose my neck. He leaned his face in and sniffled heavily trying to gather my scent.

He whispered into my ear again, "I don't know, I just can," and he slowly licked the mark and traced his tongue from the mark to my earlobe. When his tongue came back down to neck he bit down on my neck and winced to a sensation that felt like a mix between pain and pleasure. It caused my hips to buck towards him, and I tried to squirm more to fight off the sensation.

"Get…off…me…" I breathed heavily between each word. I don't like this feeling that I'm getting. I feel trapped but at the same time I don't want to escape... Kakarot kept nibbling at my ear, while he traced his hand up my thigh to the inside of my hips, and finally resting at my waist. He kissed down from my neck, to my collar bone, breathing heavily as if he's trying to take in my scent. His lips passed gently over my breast, and gently kissed down my stomach till he reaches the edge of my waist. Finally he grabs my left thigh from underneath and hikes it up to his lips. He traces his lips along the inside of my thigh and leg before catching my eyes.

Kakarot looks back at my face and smirks at the dazed look I have on my face. "Not so tough anymore are you?" I couldn't answer him; I just laid there and watched for his next move. He took my wrists into his hands again and lifted them above my head, then I hear a loud *Click*. The noise snaps me back into reality and I noticed that he handcuffed one of my hands to the top of the bedframe.

"Huh? Wha-why'd you?"

"Well I can't risk just letting you go; I think it'll be safer for the both of us if you slept here." I tried to struggle out of the handcuffs but my efforts were fruitless.

"Do I really need to be handcuffed?"

"You tried to kill me in my sleep. I think I should've tied you up earlier. Not that it would've mattered though, but consider this punishment." I sighed and turned my head away from him and let my thoughts take over. I couldn't really blame him, I'd consider him a fool if he didn't try and stop me after the first attempt. I looked back over at his face and saw that he had already fallen asleep on me. He's such an idiot, who falls asleep beside someone who wants to kill them? He sleeps so wild, he looks so defenseless right now. It's hard to believe someone like him is considered powerful here. Oh Earth no one would've even looked twice at him, especially when he's like this.

I continued to observe his sleeping figure some more; he has such defining features. Really sharp eyes, with a pointy nose. His hair, that wild untamable hair. Thinking about it now I've never touched his hair. Even when he asked me to scrub his back in the bath, he would always get defensive whenever I came close to his hair. Then his lips… they weren't big, but they were shapely and… very soft. Then I looked down at his body. I've seen him naked plenty of times before but I never really noticed till now how built he is. His muscles are huge and they felt rock solid when he was on top of me. I was completely absorbed in my thoughts when I felt something fuzzy wrap itself around my thigh. I looked down and it was his tail tightening himself around my thigh. I tried my hardest not to freak out and push his tail off of me. Apparently he found that amusing and chuckled at me, rubbed my stomach, and moaned, "Go to sleep Chi".

I woke up to see Kakarot rummaging through drawers pulling out pieces of clothing and discarding the ones he didn't care for on the floor. My hands weren't handcuffed anymore and there was a blanket that was placed on top of me.

"Here put these on," Kakarot handed me black linen. They looked pretty dark and heavy, as if they were meant to cover up something. I gave him a puzzling look back.

"What are these for?"

"You need to wear them while we go into city. I have to run some errands and I need you to pick up some things for me at the market. It's customary for slaves to cover themselves while they're in the public eye." I placed the linen on the couch and stood my ground. I didn't like the idea of me being considered shameful and needed to be hidden.

He turned around and noticed that I wasn't even attempting to put on the linen. "You know if you're having trouble, I can put it on for you." My face immediately grew red with embarrassment at thought of Kakarot undressing me. I snatched the clothing back up and left for the bathroom and shouted, "No peaking," while slamming the door.

The clothing I was wearing was defiantly dark. I had to wear a sleeveless black shirt, black baggy pants, a veil that only left my eyes exposed, and a black cape with a hood to cover my hair and basically anything else that was left exposed. When I came out Kakarot was wearing an orange gi, with blue boots. I guess this was their style of casual clothing. We stood there for a good moment and he kept staring into my eyes… to the point where it made me uncomfortable.

"Are we ready to go, master?" I asked trying to get the attention off me. He leads me outside and and places a hand on top of my head while he concentrates on teleporting us into the city.

We teleported to the outside gates of the city, where other were teleporting to and walking through the city gates. The gates were humongous and reached all the way into the sky and there was an arch way with strange letters written on them. "It says welcome to the city of Ferna in saiyan," Kakarot said while interrupting my thoughts and walking past me. I quickly caught up with him. "Make sure you keep, or else you'll get lost in the crowd." The city was very crowded making it harder for me to keep up with Kakarot's quick pace. As I walked by I took note of the numerous of other slaves around me. Some were shopping with their masters, while others were the merchants themselves. There were some that were begging others for money, while others were selling themselves for money.

I kept paying more attention to the scenery rather than where I was going and bumped into Kakarot's back. "Okay Chi-Chi, this is where I leave you," Kakarot said.

"Leave me for what?" I was confused was he done using me, was he setting me free?

"I'm leaving you here to do the shopping while I go finish my errands," he explained while handing me a bag full of rubies and a list full of items. "I need you to make sure you get everything on this list, their essential for tomorrow, there should be enough rubies to get everything on the list." I stood there trying to read the list as Kakarot walked away from me.

"W-wait a minute, what if…" I said while grabbing on to the back of his shirt. He turned his head slightly and said, "If you run into any trouble just call my name." Within that instant Kakarot was gone, and I was left alone in the middle of the city.

The first thing on the list was Kakarot's dress robes from Kai. I made my way over to tent with the sign King's Kai poorly hanging over it. I wouldn't think anything of it from the outside, but the inside created a very warm feeling. On the sides there were silk robes hung on mannequins and folded on stands. They all looked really expensive. A purple mini qipao caught my eye. It was a little showy since a piece of the chest was cutout and it was shorter than something I would normally wear. But the embroidery was beautiful and it looked great against my skin complexion.

"That one is not for sale young lady; it's only for display. Can I help you with something?" Kai is a very short. He's skin is blue with two short antennas sticking out of his face and is wearing a black qipao for men. I was left speechless for a minute trying to recover from the fact that I was about to do business with an alien.

"Hello anybody home!"

"Oh sorry. I'm here to pick up a package for my master."

"Hmm and can you tell me you're master's name?

"K-Kakarot."

"Ahh Kakarot, I have his package waiting in the back… BUBBLES!" Suddenly a monkey popped up from underneath the table and saluted Mr. Kai. "Bubbles go get Kakarot's package. It's the one that is specially wrapped." The monkey nodes yes, and goes to the back to find this package.

"It's very unusual for Kakarot to have a servant, let alone a female servant. He must have taken some sort of peculiar liking to you." was trying to observe me, but that was nearly impossible by all the clothing I was wearing.

"Well I'm not too fond of him," I said remember the bruises on my wrists from this morning.

"Oh fiddle sticks you probably just haven't warmed up to him yet," he claimed. I handed him the rubies to count out for payment.

"Why are you so fond of him Mr. Kai? Stockholm syndrome?"

Mr. Kai laughed for a moment and answered me, "Heavens no believe it or not Kakarot actually saved me."

Now it was my turn to laugh, "That villain saving you. I can't believe a saiyan would save anyone but themselves."

"Yes a vicious demon lord came to overtake all the planets of the Kai's. I was about to die before Kakarot came down and killed the demon. He said he was only passing my planet to see what this huge source of energy that was emitting from my planet."

I listened intensely to his story trying to take in the fake that my owner is supposed to be a hero.

"I was surprised I've never seen someone enjoy fighting quite as much as he dead. When he was done he offered me a place to stay back on his home planet. I've been working here ever since."

I was a little astonished by his words but before I could reply Bubbles came out and handed me a package.

"I'm not saying you should be his best friend, I'm just don't be so quick to judge..."

"I see where you're coming from but it's kind of hard not to be defensive if I'm being held captive as someone's slave. It's pretty hard to make light of that situation."

I bowed slightly thanking him for his services, "I'll be leaving now Mr. Kai."

"Oh, okay, please send my regards to Kakarot." I glanced back at him and nodded yes to acknowledge his request. I make my way down the street trying to find the next store, when suddenly I hear an uproar coming from behind me. There's a slave running down the street with a bag full of fruit in his hand. He trips and lands on me which forces my veil and cape to discard from my face.

"Chi-Chi?" the voice sounded so familiar I knew it could only be one person.

"Siva?"

"Hey!" the guards shouted. "There he is! Capture him!" The guards get closer and Siva turns to me, grabs my hand and pulls me along with him. We ran straight down this alleyway making several turns and only stopped till we were sure that we lost the guards. I was breathing hard, hunched over knees trying to catch my breath. I looked over to see Siva knocking on the wall as if he was searching for something.

"W-w-what are you doing?" Siva continues knocking until he finds a hollow spot and knocks twice. The wall on the floor begins to move on its own revealing a secret passage way. He grabs my hand again and we walk down the long tunnel. "Wow I never thought I would see anyone I knew here, let alone you." He exclaimed while squeezing my hand. "What are we doing down here? Is this where you live?. Siva didn't answer my question and continued to guide me down the dark hallway for another moment until we reached a room packed full of slaves, aliens and humans alike.

"Chi-Chi stay back here and wait for me, I'll be right up there,' he pointed up to the big stage where other people were standing as well. "Siva wait w-what is…" but I was cutoff and he walked through the crowd before I could even ask my question.

"Quiet everyone. Quiet." a Namic called out from on stage. "Our leader Siva is here with the great news to finalize our plans. Siva stepped up on the stage, removed his cape and began speaking.

"You're right Russet. I have great news. I was able to obtain a ship from my contacts from the outside. They told we can take refuge on their home planet; they have set up camps and everything for us already." There were cheers coming from the audience.

"Settle down everyone, we first have to make sure everyone is set and ready for the escape. Now this won't be an easy task. And I'm not going to lie to you; some of you might end up dying before you even make it on the ship. And those that survive might die on the ship, and some might die at camp. But don't let the fear of dying stop you from achieving you goal." Siva continued his speech, and I immediately thought why I didn't know about this group sooner. At least I would've had a more solid concrete plan than the sloppy one I tried to pull earlier.

Soon afterwards Siva finished his speech and stepped down from the stage to let the others talk. "Chi-Chi, I'm sorry for all the suddenness, but it's so reliving to see a familiar face." He came over and gave me a giant bear huge.

"Siva what is all of this?"

"It's a secret society full of slaves. We're all trying to escape from Vegetasai to gain our freedom back. We all can start over again on another planet and not have to worry about being slaves to anyone but ourselves." Siva grabbed my hands and came closer to me. "We can even start over again before." I will admit that seeing Siva after so long did bring back some emotions from before but... I pulled my hand away from, "when do you plan on leaving?

"As soon as the ship arrives, so within the next three days."

"Are you sure this plan will work, I mean you know how strong the saiyans are how are we gonna defeat all of them?"

"I know that's probably what's going to be the hardest part. My contact sent me coordinates of where he plans on landing the ship outside in the desert of Vegetasai. On that night is when we'll all come here and have to take turns going in groups to sneak through here to get outside of the city sewers to make it outside the walls. From there the coordinates are just a straight shot, hopefully we won't run into trouble but we were able to get weapons so we can try to defend ourselves."

I looked around to observe the overall mood of the crowd. Many people seemed scared but determined as well. It's risky but this might be my one chance to escape to freedom. I can't let this opportunity slip me by even if it means my life.

"I- I want to come with... I have to come." My hands balled into a fist frustrated at the situation but I have to remain strong. My father didn't raise me to cower away from a challenge.

"Good, I'll let you in on the plan so far..."

I descreatly stepped out the secret passage way and tried to gather myself. Making sure to dust off debrei from my clothes and from the package Kakarot asked me to get for him. As I was trying to place my veil correctly over my head two guards spotted me. As they began to walk towards me I can hear one of them whisper, "Hey Haiden. Isn't that the girl that punched you in the face."

He chuckled, "I sure hope so."

The stood barricading me in the alley way blocking the only escape. "Mind telling us what you're doing back here slave?"

"Well you know I was just looking for a quiete place to pee. I only know how to speak English and I don't think any of the store owners were going to let me use their bathroom."

"Ya that's her," the guard claimed while lifting up my veil to see my face. "I'd recognize that smart mouth any where." He smirked looking at me as if he made a huge discovery.

"I see your nose has finally healed over. Did you want me to break it again?"

"You little-" he pulled harshly on my hair making me cry out in pain a little. "Watch your mouth when you're talking to me". He forced me to kneel on the ground while still holding on to my hair.

"You know it's not good to mess with other people's property." I heard Kakarot proclaim walking towards the three of us. "Can I ask what you want with her?"

"We were just checking out some suspicious accusations we heard about some slaves causing a disturbance." Haiden quickly let go of my hair and stood at attention towards Kakarot.

"Well if there's no problem then she's free to leave right."

"Yes sir," they saluted and walked past him. Kakarot pulled me up to my feet.

"What are you doing back here?"

"Well I was looking for a place to pee, but those guards saw me and well you know the rest..."

Kakarot just stared at me. He raised one eyebrow and I could tell he was trying to figure out weather my story was false or not. "Did you get everything I asked for."

I handed him the package, " Most things, but I can't read these signs so it was hard for me to search for everything."

He sighed as he took the package from me, "come along well get the last few things then return to forest."

I let out a sigh of relief that he believes my lie, "yes master."
