"Diamond Heart"

Chapter 2: Dragon

"I am the last" This thought echoes in my mind. I hate it.

Never have I admitted any weakness. But this loneliness eats at me, more than my "auri sacra fames."- my hunger for gold.

I am the last. My kind has been slaughtered by those rodents, those humans.

I will have my revenge. I may be the last, but I have always been the greatest. My cold skin had borne more years than some of the greatest of mountains.

I have seen the human civilizations fall and I have seen them rise. But never had I thought them clever enough to kill us.

Never had I thought them capable to annihilate the strongest and oldest race on this earth. Never had I thought that they would kill the dragons.

The dragons.

And I, the last, can no longer do anything about it. Well, perhaps…

I want my revenge and I will have it even if I must kill every human I see. Even if…

Even if it means my death.

"Hunny? Are you going to get that?" Bulma groggily asked her husband. They were both cozily wrapped in bed. Damn that person at the door! It was still dark out!

"Get what?"

"Hugh! The door!"

"Five more minutes, sweetheart…"

Bulma rolled her eyes; her husband was NOT a morning person. Grabbing her robe she walked to the door. This had better be good!

The pounding on her door persisted and she swung it open. She glared daggers at the man standing there, poor guy.

"Miss?"

"Yes." She said hatefully, this man was trying her patience.

"I've been sent to retrieve Goku, dragon slayer, and Bulma, Herbal Mistress, to slay a dragon that has been sighted outside of Ithio, capital city."

"Retrieve us?" She glanced at outside, it couldn't have been later than three in the morning! "Has the dragon killed anyone yet? Any trouble?"

"No ma'am."

"Good, come back when it's light out." And with that she slammed the door in his face and stomped back to bed. She crawled under the covers, snuggling up to Goku. He wrapped his arm around her pulling her close.

"What's going on?"

"Shush. Nothing that can't wait till light."

"Umm… good. G'night then."

"Sleep tight."

"Oh, I will." Goku grinned and pulled Bulma closer kissing her. She sighed and put her head on his chest, listening to her husband's heartbeat. So perfect.

"Mommy!" Trunks yelled jumping on the bed. "Daddy!"

"Five more minutes…"

"Come on, Dad! There's a man at the door talking about a DRAGON! We're gonna slay a dragon! We're gonna slay a dragon!"

"A dragon?" whined Goku, "But we just slayed one a month ago! Do those buggers ever quit?"

Grumbling he rolled out of bed and fell on the ground. Definitely not a morning person.

With his father out of bed and getting dressed, Trunks turned his attention toward his mother, who was trying to shield the morning light from her eyes.

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

"Ugh!"

Goku walked over to Bulma and lifted her out of the bed. "Rise and shine!"

"I'll rise, but I refuse to shine!"

"Ah, but you already are! Come on beautiful, let's get ready to go."

"Daddy, Gohan already sent a message to the Mayor about us leaving! And he got the horses packed… Oh! And he packed everything that me and him might need. And I packed the herbs for the poison! Aren't you proud of me Mommy?"

"Yes, sweetheart. Go get some breakfast and run down to Grandma's and have her pack us some food to take."

"K!" Trunks scurried out of the room, practically bouncing off the walls.

Goku raised an eyebrow. "He gets it from you, ya' know."

Bulma chuckled. "I don't think so, mister."

:::::::::::::::

With the horses saddled, the four rode on the road to Ithio with the messenger that Bulma scared in the darker hours of the morning.

Bulma and Trunks rode ahead discussing the town's heath while the other three rode behind.

"The dragon is not the only thing I was sent to ask you about, Sir Goku." Stated the messenger, which the family had come to know as Fellard.

"Really? Gohan please go ride ahead with your mother."

"But Daaad."

"With the dragon about I don't want those two without protection. Do you think you can handle the job?"

"Please, Dad. I know what reverse psychology is. But I'll go anyway."

"Good. Fellard? What is it?"

"We've caught word that Akros might be thinking of attacking Denain."

"Why in the bloody hells would Akros attack us?"

"I would not know, but his majesty wants to know if he can count on you to help defend our country."

"I have no wish to fight again."

"Neither do I, but if Denain is threatened I will fight. Will you, General?"

"General. I haven't been called that in a long time. Bulma is not going to like this, but yes. Tell the king he may count on me should Akros attack."

"Thank you, General."

"Please just call me Goku. If Bulma hears that she's going to get suspicious and I'll never hear the end of it. And she won't be happy with you either."

Fellard shuddered. Rule one when dealing with the Son family: Never ever piss off Bulma. Never ends well- ever.

"I swear that woman is as feisty as a dragon."

::::::::::::::

Well it's getting there. Barely.

Repeat: WILL BE A BULMA AND VEGETA FIC! Just not yet…

Please review!

Hugs, kisses, and space monkeys!
