Chapter 2

The Saiyan Warrior and The Bounty Hunter; A Deal is Made.

A shadowy figure made its way down the dark rainy streets of the city of Malon. She was the Blue Angel of Death, a notorious bounty hunter. Those whom underestimated her paid a heavy price. She had now set her sights on a most dangerous man, the renegade Saiyan Prince, Vegeta. She would catch this man at all costs. The bounty on his head was enough to keep her financially secure for quite awhile. He was an alluring target and it would be a shame to kill such a handsome man, but it would have to be done. If she didn't get him then someone else likely would, and she could not allow any one to jump in on her target. Once she set her sights on someone they did not have much time left. So far no one had evaded her and as such her reputation had developed. She was well known as the angel of death. Though some fools hadn't enough sense to believe that such a beauty could cause them any harm. The man she had encountered earlier was one such fool.

"I hear you may have some information that I may find useful."

She stood at the ready, her sword drawn and carefully concealed beneath her cloak. The man glared at her with contempt. He was a Neko-jin, it was obvious what with his pointy ears, and cat like fangs. He had a scar over each eye. The one on the left eye had apparently caused much damage for he was incapable of opening it. He also had a scar upon his left cheek and one across his chest and right shoulder. The man seemed to think her to be of no concern to his well being as he spoke to her with disdain.

"Perhaps, but I would never tell a bitch like you" he snarled.

These were foolish words to speak to this woman. She glared at him with fury; no one spoke to her that way.

"Oh does that upset you? Huh wench? Well feel free to do something about it!" he laughed.

He wasn't laughing for much longer. He let out a gasp of shock as he suddenly found himself with a large sword pressed to his throat and B's arm securely around his chest holding his arms in place.

"Listen Bastard", she snarled, "I don't have time for your shit! So tell me what you know about Vegeta! Or will I be forced to slit your throat"

"Vegeta!" he gasped in shock.

"I…I don't know anything!" he stammered.

"TRY AGAIN!" she commanded, digging the blade a little deeper into his throat causing a small trickle of blood to run down his neck staining his white tank top crimson.

The man gulped nervously. "Look…All I know is that he's supposed to be heading off world! He is no longer on Calopia!"

"SO WHERE IS HE GOING?!" This man knew more than he was letting on. She had heard from a very good source that he and the prince had had some dealings.

"I…I don't know! But…but there is a...a Saiyan Girl in Malon who might be able to tell you!" he managed to stammer out it was hard to speak with the blade pressed so tightly against his jugular. Every word caused him agony.

"Where can I find her?" she demanded.

"In…in the Mayuu Tavern. She is there nearly every night." He breathed in relief as the pressure on his neck was lessened. "Tell me", he gasped, "Just who the hell are you?"

She leaned in close to his ear. "I'm your angel of death," she whispered gently. He let out a gasp before she drug the blade across the man's neck effectively ending his life.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Such a fool she mused. If he had only been more cooperative in the beginning, she hated to kill him but she could not have anyone warning Vegeta. And if the man was willing to lie for him than he would certainly inform the renegade prince that she was on his trail. So here she was now walking the dark streets of Malon towards the Mayuu Tavern to speak to some saiyan female. Would the girl even be helpful? It was doubtful that she would rat out her own prince, The Saiyan were loyal to a fault. But for the right price perhaps she could be swayed into divulging the information. But incase she would be in need of a different kind of persuasion the young huntress and brought along a little surprise, her Ki Destabilizer.

As she turned the corner the tavern came into sight. It was a rather high class looking establishment. She entered the tavern and gazed around scanning the room for the saiyan girl whom supposedly hung out here on a nightly basis.

"I'm looking for a saiyan girl," she announced to the room and every head turned towards her voice. A few whom recognized her gasped and attempted to look casual until they could escape as she was blocking the exit.

A cloaked figure in the corner broke the silence that now engulfed the tavern. "It is I that you seek! So if you came to cause trouble I would be wary indeed"

"Not trouble, just…information" the huntress stated casually strolling over to the table and taking a seat across from the girl.

The saiyan glared at her from beneath her hooded cloak. "Who are you?" she asked casually studying her nails as if they were suddenly very interesting to her.

"Most call me the Blue Angel of Death, but you may call me Bulma"

"Well then Bulma, My name is Baruh," she said offering her hand to Bulma She wondered briefly what about that name seemed familiar.

Bulma shook it and decided that this girl might just be helpful. After all how many saiyans do you meet that are friendly?

Baruh pushed her hood back revealing her face. She had spiky brown hair that was tied back in a ponytail atop her head, a few spiky wisps escaping around her face. She had brown eyes, which must have been a deformity as nearly all saiyans eyes were black. They're few such deformities in the saiyan race though such saiyans usually possessed a good deal of power. Even the queen of Vegetasei herself had had blue eyes an extremely rare occurrence that few knew of.

"Baruh, I need to know where Vegeta is," Bulma stated.

"The prince," she exclaimed. Why would you need to know a thing like that?" If you are after him because you fancy him then I would forget it. Our dear prince is a bit of an asshole." Baruh smirked. "But if that is your aim I will gladly tell you where he is." Baruh glared at Bulma sharply "However, if you are planning on sending him back to Frieza then I will die before I tell you where my prince has gone.

"I am no operative of that tyrant and nor would I ever sink so low as to work for the murderous bastard. I have I must admit taken a bit of a fancy to him. From the moment I saw his wanted poster I vowed that I would catch the elusive saiyan prince."

"Bounty Hunter!" Baruh suddenly hissed, realization dawning on her. "Now I recognize that name, Angel of Death! You plan to send my prince back into the servitude of Frieza. Well I wont let that happen! Our Prince has suffered enough!"

"Listen I don't plan on handing him over to anyone! Bulma snarled. I fully plan on killing him! If I were going to leave him alive then I would keep him for myself."

"You?!" Baruh scoffed. "You could not kill him! I don't care if you are the angel of death. Vegeta is far too strong to die at the hands of a human!" she yelled slamming her fist into the table, shattering it in her anger.

"Listen, Are you going to tell me where he has gone or do I have to kill you?" Bulma snapped. On the outside the Bounty Huntress appeared to be perfectly calm, like Baruh's show of strength did not faze her in the least. But in truth it scared her a little. She had never really believed the stories of the saiyan strength and this wisp of a girl just shattered a table as if it were nothing. She knew of men who could not come close to doing that.

"Hah you couldn't kill me let alone my prince. Perhaps I will tell you where he has gone just so you will see how very dangerous he is." Baruh smirked. "But I will not tell you here. Frieza has far to many spies among us. No, I will accompany you so that I may keep a close eye on you great Angel of Death." The sarcasm just dripped from her final statement.

Bulma regarded the girl with suspicion. "And how do I know you don't simply plan on killing me to protect your prince."

Baruh smirked. "You don't," she stated simply. "But I will not kill you. I will swear it on my honor and Vegetasei herself and if that is not enough then I will make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal?" Bulma question.

"I will take you to Vegeta and you in turn are to help me free my mate from Frieza's servitude. That way we both get something that we want. So what say you Angel of Death.

"What makes you think I can even rescue your mate?" "And what of your prince I would think your loyalties should lie with him?"

"Surely Angel of Death you have some connections" Baruh smirked. "And as for Vegeta I value my darling mate too much not to take this chance, besides I do not believe that you will be able to kill my prince. So you have nothing to worry about, I will not kill you because if I do I will not get my mate back. As much as I hate to admit it I need some help in this"

"So do we have a deal, Bulma, Angel of Death? Baruh held out her hand.

Bulma studied her for a moment before taking Baruh's hand and silently finalizing the deal. For some reason she felt that she could trust the Saiyan though why she was not sure. Just a gut feeling perhaps, and her instincts were rarely wrong.

And so the deal between the Saiyan Warrior and the Bounty Hunter was made.

AN: so there was chap 2! Tell me what you think!

Baruh is a play on Rhubarb I just sort of messed the letters around.

Oh and if anyone can help me, I really need a good name for Baruh's mate. I would prefer it to star with either and M or a J. but I don't really care. He is a saiyan and has short brown spiky (duh) hair. And he kind of has a deformity since he has blue eyes. Your assistance would be highly appreciated thank you!
