Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Captive Souls ❯ Within the Enemy's Hands ( Chapter 6 )

Captive Souls   Chapter 6   Chi-chi slowly regained consciousness in a dark room. Confusion filled her mind before she realized that a pair of glowing red eyes was staring at her. Jerking up, she hissed in pain when she realized that her body was sore.   “I wouldn’t try any sudden movements,” Dusk’s voice spoke softly. Since when did he care about this woman’s security and safety?   “You… you bastard! You knocked me out!” Chi-chi growled angrily at the male soldier who obviously captured her and made her defenseless in the first place. Had he been on common grounds, she would have not resorted to the words she spoken.   “I did it because Lord Raizen feared that I was going soft.” Dusk retorted in his defense. “Besides, he finds you a worthy reward after tearing this goddamned planet apart.”   “You’re all monsters and you took away my reason of why I protected the others! You killed them all!” Chi-chi yelled; she was in disbelief that he would keep his word to her now since he had betrayed her. “Go away! Leave me alone!”   “I cannot for I was ordered to watch over you.” Dusk spoke in monotone.   “Screw your fucking orders! You already went against an honorable code!” Almost though she said something wrong, she heard his breath hitch before she heard him struggling to breathe. Ignoring the pain in her body, she rose to her feet and walked over to the doubled over masked male. “What’s going on?”   “Don’t worry about it,” Dusk growled and shoved Chi-chi to the ground with hatred. “It’s not like you can do anything about it anyway.”   “You want to bet?” Chi-chi challenged. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for him when he drew ragged breaths.   “Look, it’s not any of your fucking concern. If I truly needed of your assistance, I would have asked you.” Dusk spat at Chi-chi. “However, this is something between Lord Raizen and me and you cannot do anything about it.”   “That’s because you don’t trust anyone!” Dusk’s eyes widened and he growled warningly at the female.   “How can I trust anyone when those that I cared about were torn away from me? I have no remorse for my actions anymore and rather die than serve another day. Sadly, Lord Raizen cannot permit me to die.”   “Is there anyone left besides you that you’re protecting?” Chi-chi asked. Dusk hissed by this statement. It was almost though he had been stabbed in the back by these words and of course, she saw the unease in his eyes. He was hiding something from her.   “The one I protect is part of Lord Raizen’s property.” Dusk admitted. “I work for my master and him alone.”   “Are you saying that more towards him than to yourself?” Chi-chi touched the mask softly despite the former warnings. Dusk turned away to hide the guilt in his eyes from the female.   “Why do you bother consoling me when I have captured you Mysterious Nightingale?” Dusk questioned.   “Chi-chi.” The name left her lips almost instantly and she had no idea why she had to correct him on what her name was.   “What?” Dusk questioned in surprise before turning towards the female he had been looking away from moments ago. He was caught off guard by this and had not expected her to give her real name.   “My name’s Chi-chi.” She repeated her name almost though he had not heard right the first time.   “Chi-chi…” Dusk was about to touch her when he yelled out in pain. He grabbed his head with both of his hands; the fingers digging into his hood.   “Dusk!” Chi-chi was worried about this male now. He seemed to be the only one who would offer her any protection against Raizen’s forces. She wanted to be with him; however, he kept pushing her away out of fear.   “M-Mysterious Nightingale… Chi-chi… please do not… get any closer…” Dusk warned before he fell to the ground unconscious. Moments later, the door opened and soldiers entered the room. They picked up the unconscious Dusk and Chi-chi was immediately jerked to her feet.   “Take Dusk to his chambers while a few of you take the Mysterious Nightingale to Lord Raizen,” A soldier commanded. Chi-chi tried to break away; however, the soldier’s hold on her was too strong. “There’s no use struggling. See to it she’s to be healed after an audience with Lord Raizen.” While Chi-chi was dragged in one location, Dusk was dragged off to another.   ‘Dusk…’ Chi-chi thought silently. Despite her anger towards the masked male moments earlier, she now held worry in her heart over the condition he was now in. Dragged down the halls, she soon found herself in front of a large door. Slowly, the doors creaked open and she was lured inside.   Chi-chi had not prepared herself for what she would come face-to-face with upon entering this room. She was immediately forced to her knees by a foot that connected to the small of her back and kept her pinned down. She felt humiliated to be in that position when she was one of the strongest women in the world.   Footsteps were heard upon the ground headed towards her and she glanced up the best she could. What she was barely able to see was dark coal-colored boots with steel-like protectors over the vulnerable places of his feet. Black pants interlaced with more of these strange protectors ran up the male’s shins and knee caps. That was all she could see at due to the fact that there was a level difference in ground and assumed that Raizen was on a higher platform.   “Ah, so this is the Mysterious Nightingale I heard so much about,” An enthusiastic Raizen spoke despite a few undertones indicating frustration and anger. “Guards, please allow her to stand so I may look her over.”   Chi-chi felt the pressure on her back vanish almost like the mist and a pale hand was offered to the woman down upon the ground. She was irritated by his behavior and smacked the offending hand away. That was a mistake and she was immediately jerked up by the back of her ragged dress to Raizen’s eye-level.   Now more of him was revealed to the one he called ‘Mysterious Nightingale’ while she trembled both frightened and angered in his grasp. His rich and long ashen velvety hair seemed to flow softly down to the Adonis-like chest that he possessed. Scarlet eyes scanned her over; almost seemingly piercing her soul in the process. She hated the fact that these aliens, these Daza-jin, have invaded their planet. His milky skin was like the moon’s face without the discolorations of the sun’s gaze or the Earth’s atmosphere.   “You… you’re a monster! You took away my husband!” Chi-chi’s eyes narrowed after she realized the position she was in.   “Your husband was one of the weakest we have ever stumbled across and you should not have been partnered with such a weakling.” Raizen offended Chi-chi. “Join me and I’ll show you power you would never imagine having and be granted eternal life from the Dragon Balls.”   “Is that the reason you came to this planet? To obtain eternal life?” Chi-chi whimpered while Raizen dug into the female’s bodice and pulled out the Dragon Ball she hid in her dress for safe keeping. Her eyes flashed when he jerked it off of the chain and watched in mute horror while the ring her husband gave to her during their last wedding anniversary fell to the ground. The two things she treasured that she kept in memory of her husband were gone now and she felt like he would take more from her if he were to keep this up.   “And to find a partner worthy enough to be at my side,” Raizen spoke softly. “You, my Mysterious Nightingale, my worthy treasure, are the very reason why I asked Dusk to spare your life.”   A look of pure horror flashed upon Chi-chi’s face. Raizen, the same Daza-jin who had taken her husband’s life was planning to take hers in marriage. She tried to pull away to no avail and Raizen pressed his lips against Chi-chi’s rosy ones. In mere moments, Chi‑chi was forced against a wall unwillingly while her wrists were pinned above her head and shackled there. She attempted to kick him; however, her legs were shackled at her ankles. Was this male planning to rape her while she was defenseless?   “Before I am to make you my partner, you must go through a very rough process of surrendering yourself to me,” Raizen continued before he pulled out a scalpel. The blade startled the Earthen female and she did not wish to go through what he had planned for her. At that moment, she felt that the kais themselves no longer had mercy on her. A tear ran unchecked down her cheek before he closed in.   O-O   At that very moment in another part of the ship, the hallway had unconscious guards leading up to a door. Within the room, a shadowy figure stood before the six glowing dragon balls resting on the pillow. It seemed that not everyone on the ship was loyal to Raizen and very soon, all hell will break loose.   To Be Continued…
