Aw well, there's always mid-term break, then another mid-winter break in February (they split up our vacations! rawr) Anyway, I'll stop talking, and let you read the chapter scuffs feet on the ground

Embodiment of the Living Dead
By: Vegeta's Blue-Haired Angel

Chapter 3:

“Soi has failed,” a grim smile spread across Juu's face, “I see that I must take care of this pest myself.” He looked to the ground, where his pet sat, her head rested upon his knee. A curious creature, she was. At times it was as though she had broken his spell, and was thinking of her own free will. He didn't mind though, she hadn't made any move to go against him; although, he knew that if she had wanted to, she could probably devise a plan in the blink of an eye, and their roles could have been switched if she so desired.

What a beautiful creature she was, as well. It was as though he were under her enchantment, at times. The first time he had encountered this beauty, he was enthralled. He remembered that night clearly.

Flashback

Darkness hid him in the shadows so well, as though it were a curtain spilling in front of him, held up by the dark windows above. He watched as some young girls ran by, screaming with delight. The sun was almost out of sight, yet the children came out into the garden with no fear. He leaned against the building, waiting for them to come into the perfect position. That way he could strike, without them ever knowing they'd been hit.

Suddenly a soft, muffled, crying filled his ears. Against his better judgment he decided that the small girls would live another night, and went to scrutinize the source of the sound. He the bloody sun sank below the horizon, as he descended into the darkness, his keen eyes making out every movement in their wake.

He stopped as the noise grew louder. Into the reserved garden he, again traveled his feet making no clamor against the ground, towards the noise. He stopped suddenly, as he came upon a clearing. There, on a small bench, sat a young woman. He held his breath as his eyes roamed upon her figure. He felt blood rush through his veins, and he knew he had to have her, no matter what the cost.

End of Flashback

Vegeta looked around the empty town square. It was quiet, a little too quiet for his tastes. A flash of lightening pierced the sky, illuminating the horizon. A large estate gave a bright radiance in the wake of the rush of electricity. Vegeta's head snapped in the direction of the estate. He knew that that was the place he needed to go.

A sneer crossed his dark features as he closed his eyes. He could see the flame-haired warrior. It seemed as though if things were to get done, he would have to do them himself.

“Please,” a meek voice from the open chamber door pleaded, “My Lord, let me try my hand at defeating our `hero.'”

Juu narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully. He waved his hand, as though he were merely bored and replied, “Go ahead, Gabriella. However, don't return here without his head.”

The woman bowed her head and exited the chamber. She would show her master just how capable she was. Soi was nothing more than a power-hungry wench, waiting for the praise master would bestow upon her. She, however, was different. She hungered to please him, even without his praise. She did not want to see him hurt, or sad.

No, it was not love. Those feelings had been ripped out of her soul many years ago. All she felt was the overwhelming power to serve.

Vegeta traveled through the dense forest. He had left his horse in the village because the beast wouldn't be able to trek through this woodland. Damn this place to hell. He hoped that whatever person decided to build their estate on the other side of a forest burned in the seventh, most fiery, pit of hell.

Vegeta concentrated on his breathing. He was becoming frustrated too fast. He needed to calm down; otherwise he would become tired and unable to defend himself.

A slight noise behind him made his breath hitch in his throat. He turned his head slightly, trying to keep all of his sides defended. He unsheathed his sword, ready for anything; or so he thought.

Out of the clearing stepped a young woman. Her hair the shade of the bluest skies, her eyes the color of the ocean. “O-onna?” He rasped out. He gazed upon her form, as she stepped near him.

She was quiet, looking over him as though she vaguely knew him. Her eyes opened in realize. “V-vegeta?” she whispered, throwing herself into his arms, sobbing. He stood in shock as his woman stood in his arms, finally. He wrapped his arms around her.

She stood in his arms, as he wrapped his arms around her, a cruel smirk on her face. In an instant she dug her sharp nails into his chest, drawing blood. Vegeta gasped, bringing his sword to her neck.

She gasped as she felt the cool metal touch her neck. Quickly ducking under the blade, she jumped back. Vegeta couldn't move fast enough, as she brought her sharp claws around and sliced into his cheek. Vegeta closed his eyes, for a moment; the feeling of pain making adrenaline rush through his veins.

He jumped, as she brought around her foot. “You'll never get her back,” Gabriella hissed. Vegeta narrowed his eyes, knitting his brows closer together.

“Shut up you villainous slut!” he barked. Gabriella hissed, once again and lunged at him. Vegeta brought his sword around, and without a hesitation he sliced through her body. She didn't even shudder as she fell to the ground, in two pieces. He had cut her right through the middle. Unfortunately, blood, was not what came out of her. Her organs turned dried out, and her skin cracked. With a final burst of dust, she was gone.
