Crimes of Passion

Chapter 14: Dinnertime!

Vegeta mentally cursed Kami for giving him neither patience nor punctual servants. He let out a light growl as if doing so would will her into the room. `At least father and Taiyoukai have yet to arrive.'

Suddenly the grand doors opened. Vegeta felt oddly relieved to see the woman come walking in. Relief soon gave way to anger the moment he noticed whose arm she was currently attached to. Vegeta stood and glared at his guard.

A smug look donned the masculine face of Radditz. He mentally gave himself another point in the battle for Bulma. He was disturbed from his reverie with a sharp tugging on his left arm followed by a sudden loss of warmth.

Bulme yelped a little at being forcefully removed from her guard's arm. She turned to scowl at her `master' who was currently glaring a hole through Radditz' forehead. Tempted to throw her arms up in resignation, she prepared herself to dissipate yet another petty fight, she gently put her hand on Vegeta's arm. He turned to glare at her, hatred and jealousy still running through his veins. His face softened at the sight of her pleading form. `Damn woman.'

Vegeta reluctantly sat down and no sooner did King Vegeta and Taiyoukai walk in. With them came several dozens of servants, some carrying food, and others were hurrying about, making sure everything was perfect.

Everyone at the table stood out of respect for the two elders. The kings regally made their way to the table, motioning for everyone sit down. Vegeta sent a glare in Radditz' direction, but sat down with everyone else.

~*~*~

Bulma walked around the streets of Kikoho, Vegeta-sei's capital city a few hours later. Kagome and Kikiri were giggling and talking about nothing in particular. Bulma, herself, had been too wrapped up in her thoughts to share their enthusiasm. She thought the rest of dinner had been surprisingly uneventful. `Well, at least no one left with a ki blast through their chest.'

It had been awkward for the young girl at the table. The kings, of course, had seated themselves at either end of the table. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru had sat on either side of their father and Nappa and Vegeta on the sides of their king. Kikiri sat insanely close to her master and would have been fully in his lap had it not been for the presence of so much royalty. Kagome had sat next to her mate with the monk on the other side of her. Bulma herself, had been situated between Vegeta and Radditz, although she wanted to protest the closeness to those who brought her so much confusion.

Bulma, however, hardly indulged in the food. Hardly took notice, even, since her thoughts seemed to have a tight grip on her prince and guard. They were very much jealous and angry at each other, that much she could see. As soon as she had sat down, she almost shrieked when she felt something slide up her thigh. She stiffened when she felt Vegeta's tail wrap possessively around her upper leg. She looked stunned at him, but his eyes were set on her neighbor, letting out a small growl to let him know just whom she belonged to.

After everyone was done eating, the kings, who had said they had further to discuss, excused them. Vegeta left to spar with Sesshou, reluctantly leaving Bulma in the care of Radditz. Nappa went to join his prince, so Kikiri and Kagome decided to stay with Bulma and go to the city for a walk.

This brought her to the present. They had been walking for a couple hours now. Or it might have been ten minutes. She wasn't really paying attention. Too wrapped up in her thoughts to even notice her friends walk into a jewelry store while she trudged ahead. Nor did she see the sinister onyx eyes that followed her form.

~*~*~

He followed her perfect body with his lust filled eyes as she walked past, seemingly oblivious to the world around her. `So beautiful, so naive' he thought to himself. Images of him tearing her innocence away from her flooded his mind, making his already heat motivated mind even hazier. He thought about her lying beneath him, screaming for him. He didn't care if it was to stop or to keep going, they were the same in his mind.

He frowned when he saw her guard walking behind her, gazing more than appreciatively at her. He growled menacingly. `That will not do.' He gave a quick nod to his partner waiting in the shadows and walked forward.

`You will not escape me this time, minx,' he thought, smirking, while he slowly advanced on his prey.

~*~*~

Radditz grumbled to himself. Nearly ten years as a palace guard, five as an elite and here he was stuck baby-sitting. He was in town, looking after three weak human girls, not that he minded looking after Bulma. In fact, right now, he was getting a pretty good look at her.

He let his thoughts drift to the blue-haired beauty in front of him. She looked so deep in thought, he only wished she was thinking about him. He eyes fell to her backside, which naturally swayed as she walked. He wondered how anyone could be so sexy without even trying.

He was quickly shaken from his thoughts when he heard his name followed by a cry for help off to his right.

~*~*~

Kagome yelled for Radditz as she was thrown to the ground. She looked terrified as a large, burly saiyan grabbed Kikiri from behind and flew off. A few seconds later, she saw a Radditz-shaped flash of light chase after them.

She frantically looked around for Bulma, but could only see various venders and scary looking saiyan males. She laughed nervously and started backing up slowly, inching her way across a brick wall. She almost stumbled backward when she came to a corner. Looking back into the alley behind her, she gasped at the scene before her.

~*~*~

Bulma absently wondered how she always managed to get into some sort of trouble. Here she was, glaring at a brick wall at the end of the alley she had managed to walk herself into. She cursed her luck and slowly turned back the way she came from when she was violently shoved into the wall she was just cursing.

"Ugn!" she grunted in pain as the breath was knocked out of her lungs. The forgiving darkness tugged at the edge of her consiousness, only to be violently wretched from her as a cold, familiar voice came from behind her, forcing her into tremors from the memories.

"Well, well, well. Look how your body already responds to mine," he sneered cruelly into her ear. "Tell me, girl, have you ever thought of what would have happened last night, had your pathetic prince not came in?"

Small tears of shame began forming at the edges of her eyes as she recalled the events of the night before. She had nearly been successful in forgetting the traumatizing night she had. She choked back a sob as she felt a large hand roughly move up and down her body.

"I told you that Vegeta couldn't keep this Torrid away from such a beautiful prize." He accented his words by running his tounge up the side of her face.

"Hey, get away from her!" came a voice from behind them both. Bulma looked up with hopeful eyes. There stood Kagome at the mouth of the alley, holding her hands out in front of her.

Torrid let out a laugh, letting his grip on Bulma loosen a little. He turned to the ningen miko. "And if I don't?"

"Then I shall have no other alternative than to make you get away," came her dark response.

This caused the saiyan to let go of Bulma so that he can hold his sides while he burst out laughing. Bulma took this opportunity to slowly inch away and Kagome took that as her cue.

A pink light, pale at first, surrounded Kagome. Closing her eyes, she concentrated that light to her hands, molding it into a bow and arrow. The pink light was now glowing brightly, flashing violently around her. She strung her miko arrow on her bow and aimed straight for the saiyan.

Seeing a bright light shine through his closed eyelids, Torrid slowly opened his eyes, only to widen them at the sight of the human. She had an arrow aimed straight for him. Suddenly, she let go. Even his saiyan speed was no match for the arrow that was lighting fast.

He was engulfed in a pink light as immense pain coursed through his body. Purifying energy shot from his head to his toes, making him scream out in anguish. He clutched his head in a feeble attempt to ward off his oncoming doom. With a pained growl he fell to the floor, motionless.

"Oh Kagome!!" cried Bulma, flinging herself into the miko's arms. Hot tears of relief and lingering fear rolled freely down her cheek. Kagome patted her head and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Shh. It's okay. You're okay now, and Vegeta's on his way." Bulma looked up at her, wide eyed. Kagome laughed a little, but explained. "I can feel Sesshoumaru at all times, just a perk of being a demon's mate, I guess. Anyways, since I feel Sessy-chan on his way in a hurry, I assume Veggie head is with him. They must have felt my powers."

No sooner than the words left her mouth, did two prince-shaped blurbs of shape fly across the sky and land in front of them. Vegeta glanced at the motionless shape of Torrid, then at the woman crying in Kagome's arms.

`That bastard,' he thought to himself, `He tried to do it again. Kami, I should have made sure he was dead the first time.' He clenched his fists as he berated himself. Growling, he walked up to Kagome and wordlessly took Bulma. Picking her up bridal style, he shot off towards the palace.

Sesshoumaru turned to his mate and smirked. "So, the wimpy saiyan wasn't enough to go against my little miko?" Kagome smiled weakly and fell into her mates arms, exhausted from using her powers. The youkai prince gathered her up, and imitating Vegeta, flew with his mate to the palace.

a/n: Again, so sorry for the delay of update, but I'm doing it now ::pleads with readers for absence of violence:: I promise to try my hardest to get the next chapter out asap. I think the reason I've been lacking is because I'm putting in stuff that I didn't expect to originally. So on that note, any ideas are surely welcome. And now, to the readers reviews!!
