Chapter 6

 

 

<b>Vegeta's Training Room</b>

 

 

 

"Damnable onna!" Vegeta growled aloud. "Does she even realize what her statement meant!" he groused. "My mother is a goddess," he imitated her voice. "Godsdamnit! I don't want a mate, but if I am near her I will not be able to stop myself."

 

With a low growl of frustration Vegeta began an intricate kata, allowing his thoughts to run rampant as his body fell into the familiar movement.

 

:She has no idea what she does to me, and just why did she have to wear such revealing clothes? It should be illegal to look like that in sleeping garments.: The kata became more violent with his thoughts.

 

The comlink stationed on the wall crackled to life, "Vegeta get your ass out here now, I don't have time for your temper tantrums! The throne room is swarming with elite guards and they are all circling your onna. Hikono is keeping them at bay with a few growls and holding her possessively, but all hell is about to break loose!" Nappa's voice echoed through the training room, breaking Vegeta's concentration.

 

Vegeta stormed to the comlink. "Get her out of there! What the fuck were you thinking taking her to the throne room today? You know that the elites are to gather there for mission specs with Father."

 

Nappa's worried voice came back sounding even more agitated, "The king's orders."

 

"Fuck."

 

 

<b>Throne Room</b>

 

 

"Hikono?" Bulma's voice shook with ill-hidden fear.

 

"Hush, I'll keep you safe even if I have to claim you here in front of everyone to do it." Hikono growled at another elite whom had gotten too close and tugged Bulma even tighter to his chest.

 

"But, what about-" She was cut off as an elite lunged forward and jerked her from Hikono's grasp.

 

"Raditz! Grab her!" Hikono yelled as he leapt towards the offending elite, smashing his fist into the other Saiyajin's face, snapping his head to the side with the force of the blow.

 

Raditz snatched Bulma from the other elite as he fell back from Hikono's punch and flew to the throne to protect her from a higher vantage point. Looking out over the masses he was shocked at the lust that poured off the elites as they advanced towards their position.

 

"Raditz, I thought that you guys had a mating thing happen not too long ago, why are they after me now? Aren't they mated?" Bulma whimpered from behind Raditz's bulky body.

 

"Not these guys, they were off planet during that time. As far as they are concerned you are free to be had," Raditz replied, shoving her further behind him.

 

"Mate me then," she whispered, grasping a handful of his shaggy hair.

 

Raditz looked at her in shock. "Are you out of your mind! I don't want to mate you."

 

Bulma whimpered again. "Hikono!" she yelled, stepping out from behind Raditz. "Come over here!"

 

"Bulma, you don't have to actually be mated," Raditz whispered. He pulled her back from the grasping hands of an elite who had rushed on to the platform.

 

Looking up at Raditz she frowned in confusion. "What? How can you pretend to mate me?"

 

At Bulma's cry, Hikono threw off the elites that had jumped on him and raced through the swarm to her side just in time to hear her question.

 

"Raditz, hold them off. I'm going to mate her." Hikono called as he pulled Bulma to his chest.

"I'm going to pretend to mate you, onna, cry out when I kiss your neck," he whispered.

 

Bulma's worried eyes flew to Raditz. Desperation and fear shone in her eyes moments before she let out an ear-piercing scream. Hikono bit his lip, drawing blood, and smeared it on Bulma's

neck before raising his head. "MINE!" he roared.

 

The king and Vegeta stepped in moments later; neither looked happy.

 

Hikono dropped Bulma to the floor with a thud. "Sire! It's not what it looks like!" he assured moments before the king's fist slammed into his mouth.

 

"I don't give a shit about your excuses! You had no right to mate a female so far above your station!" The king punctuated each word with a vicious blow to Hikono's face and head.

 

"Sire!" Bulma yelled as she tried to pull the furious king away from the now unconscious Hikono. "He was only pretending so that they would leave me alone!"

 

King Vegeta stopped pounding Hikono long enough to snatch Bulma and force her head to the side, wiping away the blood to see better. "There are no marks here, a lot of blood but no bite,” he said almost as if to himself.

 

"That's right, he was just doing his job! He protected me in your and Vegeta's absence." She frowned and crossed her arms over her chest.

 

Vegeta snorted in the background and Bulma rounded on him. "As for you," she spat, "if you had brought me here when you should have instead of locking yourself in a training room this would have been avoided!" Turning her back on him, she made her way to her fallen protector's side and put in action her and Hikono's plan.

 

Leaning over him she pulled his head on to her lap and brushed the hair from his face. "My poor Hikono," she whispered just loud enough for everyone to hear before placing a soft kiss to his mouth. "Awake my dear," she cooed softly, ignoring the deep growls coming from the two royals.

 

Hikono's eyes fluttered open at her softly spoken command. He winked at her and sat up, rubbing the welts on his head. "Bulma?"

 

Scooting closer she placed a hand on his bruised cheek. "Are you alright, love?" She returned the wink only to be snatched up and hauled over Vegeta's shoulder. "What the hell are you doing!" she screeched in protest.

 

Her answer was Vegeta's growl and a sharp swat to her backside.

 

"How dare you touch my posterior! Put me down!" She beat furiously against his back to no avail, instead receiving another swat.

 

"Shut up, Onna."

 

After watching Vegeta haul Bulma away, Raditz gave Hikono a look that clearly indicated they needed to talk. At Hikono's nod both men bowed before their king and followed after the still arguing couple.

 

King Vegeta watched with a self-satisfied smirk before calling the elites to order.

 

 

<b>Raditz and Hikono</b>

 

 

Raditz slammed Hikono up against the wall of his quarters. "Talk!" he growled. Pushing away from Hikono, he paced while he waited for the other to speak.

 

"We are trying to lure the prince into mating her," Hikono said simply, as if that one statement answered everything.

 

"By kissing her in her apartments and pretending to claim her in front of the elites?" he snorted.

"That's one helluva plan there, dip shit. How are doing those things going to make him want her?

Most likely that's going to make him think she's 'used goods'."

 

Hikono sighed. "She says that if she does it our way that Vegeta will figure it out and turn his nose up at her. According to her, having a false suitor was how she won her last mate."

 

Raditz frowned. "Doing things this way may not be in her best interest. Why doesn't she just train herself to be stronger and win his admiration?"

 

Hikono shrugged. "If things don't go as planned," he stopped for a moment to be sure that he had Raditz' attention. "I will ask her to be my mate." At Raditz' stunned look he rushed on, "She has intoxicated me to the point that I will find a reason to touch her, in just this short a time! Imagine what will happen if we continue this plan! I will be worse than Nappa!"

 

"Exactly. That's why you need to quit this fool's errand and train the onna so that she can win his attention rather than take the chance of being bound to her in a relationship that will take you nowhere." Raditz growled and resumed his pacing.

 

"I am afraid that I can't do that. She will ask and I will be helpless to deny her." Hikono sighed and ran a hand through his already mussed mop of hair.

 

"Fine, then I will have the prince send for Kakarot. He will take over her personal protection while you take Nappa's place as secondary guard. We will have to find something for Nappa, but we can not let this continue." Raditz flopped down on to the comfy sofa that served as the only furniture in the room and squeezed the bridge of his nose, trying to stall a headache that was forming.

 

 

<b>Vegeta and Bulma</b>

 

 

"Put me down you beast!" she screamed, and continued her futile beating against his back.

 

Vegeta burped. "Ah, much better."

 

"How rude! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" she railed against him.

 

Vegeta shrugged his shoulders causing Bulma to fall in a graceless heap at his feet. "Happy now, Onna? I could drop you again if you want."

 

Bulma sat up, rubbing her abused shoulder and hip. "Thanks, jackass," she mumbled under her breath. "Where are we?" she demanded without looking around, preferring to keep her eyes trained on the floor in a huff.

 

"We are in my chambers," he said simply and walked away.

 

Her head shot up in horror. "This is unseemly! I am not your wife, I can not be alone with you in your private chambers!"

 

Vegeta turned from his seat on the end of his bed. "We will discuss things, Onna." A predatory smirk spread over his mouth causing a quiver of fear to chase down her spine.

 

:Well, I got what I wanted I guess. But I never wanted it like this:

 

Bulma rose from her graceless position on the floor to face Vegeta. "What do you want of me?" Her voice trembled slightly betraying her fear.

 

Vegeta looked her over for a moment before he answered. "What is the rest of it?"

 

Blinking twice in confusion, Bulma cocked her head to the side. "What are you talking about?"

 

"Do not play coy with me, Onna. Are you fucking him?" The last was screamed as Vegeta's iron hold on his temper slipped.

 

Bulma was taken aback. "Are you asking if we engaged in marital pursuits? If so then the answer is… no." She felt her cheeks burn at the image of herself locked in an amorous embrace with Hikono. She admitted, internally, that he was indeed a fine specimen of male flesh, but her tastes ran in a different direction.

 

"You lie!" Vegeta raged as he stalked over to her and took her by the shoulders.

 

"I'm not being false! I swear it!" Fear coursed through her as his face twisted with anger. Laying her hand on his arm to try and dislodge him, a spark of power shot between them.

 

"Still using that weak electrical currant to keep me away? Well give it up. I will touch you when I feel the need."

 

Bulma's protest died in her throat as his lips descended on hers, another shock of power coursed between them as he nearly attacked her mouth.

 

Ecstasy she had never before experienced burned through her like wild fire. Her arms went up and around his neck to keep him anchored to her mouth. Her lips worked in tandem to his as they all but consumed each other. Neither wanted to end the kiss, but a powerful explosion rocked the pair from their feet.

 

With a growl of annoyance, Vegeta pushed Bulma away, jumping to his feet. "Get to Raditz, I will find out what is happening." he ordered before, he ran from the room.

 

Still dazed from his kiss, Bulma wandered down the halls of the palace without a clue to where she was going nor a care in the world.

 

 

<b>Raditz and Hikono</b>

 

 

Hikono paced Raditz' apartments like a caged beast. "Why not ask the genius in your family what we should do? Bradlick? Was that his name?"

 

Raditz snorted. "It's Bardock, and we can't; he's busy taking care of the brat since his newest mate died during the birthing."

 

"Another one? That makes what," Hikono paused to count, "five brats now? Damn, I don' think I'd be able to do it. Too many cubs for my taste."

 

Raditz nodded, "Yeah, there's me, Kakarot, Caleri, Bardock Jr., and now this new one... I think her name is Caba.” Raditz shook his head and sighed.

 

Explosions rocked the two guards from their thoughts. "What the fuck!" Hikono exclaimed as he and Raditz shot out the door and into the mounting crowd of warriors in the hall.

 

 

<b>Throne Room</b>

 

 

The king called the elites to order and set about listening to them drone on about mishaps that happened during their missions with minimal attention other than to nod and say 'next'.

 

His mind was re-playing the scene that had taken place in the room only a few minutes before.

He had seen the hesitancy in the onna as she moved to Hikono, how her hands had trembled when she touched him. Both were signs of fear. They had meant either the onna was worried about the guard, or that she was not comfortable being so close to him. King Vegeta was betting on the latter. He had smelled the beginnings of arousal on his brat when the prince had looked at her.

 

An explosion shook the entire palace, jarring the king from his thoughts. "Find out what is happening!" he yelled as the elites recovered their balance.

 

Warriors poured from the throne room like water as they heeded their king's command. King

Vegeta had a moment of foreboding before he joined his men on the newly appointed battlefield.

 

 

<b>Bulma</b>

 

She was lost again.

 

Cursing herself and Vegeta for making her feel like that, she retraced her steps in an effort to find her way back to her own rooms. She was concentrating so hard on remembering her steps she did not notice the being that slipped through the shadows, coming ever nearer to her.

 

"Damnit!" she screamed. Closing her eyes, she called up a little spell. "Goddess, Mother, Lady of Light, let me not pass from your sight. A string of power show my path to me, as I will so mote it be." Opening her eyes, she saw a thin streak of silver colored power trail along the floor to the right. "Ah, there it is!" she laughed before following the string, unaware of the would-be attacker who had stood behind her moments before.

 

"My lord will be interested in this one. When we conquer these simians I will take this...rare beauty to him." His voice was soft yet grating as he flipped a long green braid over his shoulder.

"Master will be curious indeed." With one last look in Bulma's direction, Zarbon slipped out of the halls as silently as he had entered.

 

Rounding another corner, Bulma found the main hallway that lead to the front gate. A smirk graced her face as she almost floated to her chambers, allowing the thread of power to dissipate.

 

During her trek she noticed that there were no people in the halls, just a bit of debris here and there. The lack of carnage soothed her worry as to whether or not they had been under attack.

 

She stepped into her chambers and sighed. "It has been a long day, I need a bath,” she said, "Sasha please keep Rhiannon with you until I return from bathing."She asked the quiet girl who stood at the nursery room door as she made her way to the bathing chambers.

 

After adjusting the water temperature the way that Nappa had shown her, Bulma stripped out of the silk pajamas and climbed into the scented hot water. Relaxing back in the water

Bulma's eyes drifted shut, completely unaware of the eyes that had watched her every move.

 

ooooooooo

 

Vegeta growled as he sank into his own bath, the hot water soothing his tired and sore muscles.

A frown marred his brow as he thought over the last words spoken by one of the invaders.

 

<b>Flashback</b>

 

Five warriors lay dead at his feet. Their singed and still smoking bodies let off an acidic stench that burned Vegeta's nostrils. Another knelt at Vegeta's feet, his throat clenched in the mighty Prince's fist.

 

"Tell me who your master is so that I may send him your body as a present of thanks for giving me a plaything," Vegeta demanded of the purple, horned, dancing warrior.

 

"Never, my master will come looking for the Ginyu force when we do not return," the horned warrior choked out. "Your world will be destroyed once my master gets here, just like countless thousands of others. You are nothing compared to my master: he is a god."

 

Furious at the beastly warrior for refusing him answers, Vegeta snapped his neck and dropped the now lifeless body to the dirt. "I will welcome your master with your head on a pike." So saying, Vegeta yanked the warrior's head from his body and looked into the eyes of the grotesque disembodied head. "How nice, you even bleed purple." Vegeta's dangerous smirk widened as he tucked the severed head under his arm and made his way back to the palace.

 

<b>End Flashback</b>

 

: I wonder who in the hell is stupid enough to only send 6 men to try to purge my planet? We are unbeatable! No race could stand up to us, so why insult the Saiyan race with a purging party of only 6 men:

 

Vegeta growled again in frustration before levering himself out of the now cold water. "Fuck it, I need sleep," he grumbled. Stalking naked to his bed, he crawled in and dropped off to sleep.

 

oooooooo

 

Dream Sequence

 

<i>He pushed me against the wall and devoured my mouth like a man starving. He kissed his way from my kiss-bruised mouth to my jaw where he placed little nipping kisses. His mouth grew bolder as he slithered his tongue down the long column of my throat to lave gently along my collarbone. All the while his hands moved over my naked breasts, flicking my nipples to pert little peaks. He swallowed my gasps of pleasure and drove his shaft against my hip causing no small shiver of passion to shoot straight to my core, wetting me in anticipation of his invasion.

 

"Bulma," he breathed against my mouth before lifting me and carrying me to my bed where he laid me down tenderly.

 

He sat back on his heels and looked down at me, avidly watching the rapid rise and fall of my breasts.

 

"If you don't stop looking at me like that I will have no choice but to make you mine." His rough voice and fiery eyes spoke to me of passion.

 

"Yamcha," I moaned, my skin felt hot enough to burst into flames.

 

His eyes took on a pained look. "No, it's me. Dorino."</i>

 

Bulma shot straight up on the bed. "Dorino?" she gasped, then looked at the man standing over her. Tears welled up in her eyes, "NO!"

 

She screamed.

 

Hikono and Nappa burst into the room ready for battle as they surveyed the situation.

 

Dorino stood over Bulma, a look of shock and horror painted on his face as Bulma curled up, naked in the fetal position with her hands over her face, screaming. Hikono strode over to Bulma and wrapped her in his arms. Nappa forcefully ejected Dorino from the room.

 

"Go get Prince Vegeta." Hikono ordered as he tightened his grip on the shaking and flailing woman.

 

With a smart nod Nappa rushed from the room to do as he was bid, leaving Hikono to figure out how to calm the hysterical woman down.

 

 

<b>Vegeta</b>

 

 

Vegeta awoke to an incessant pounding on his door only fifteen minutes after he had fallen asleep. With a ferocious growl Vegeta rose from the bed muttering as he tugged on his pants from earlier, "Better be dieing or you soon will be," as he stalked to the door.

 

"What the FUCK DO YOU WANT?" he yelled, his fists clenching in anger as he tore the door open.

 

Nappa flinched slightly, "There was an intruder in Lady Bulma's room, Hikono is there with her now-"

 

Vegeta shoved his way past the guard and into the hall, furious that the guards were so lax in their jobs that an intruder could have gotten in without their knowledge, and desperate to see that the onna was alright.

 

The scene that greeted him as he rushed through the door inched his anger up a few more notches. Bulma was naked, pressed to Hikono's chest - and the guards arm's were wrapped tightly around his woman.

 

oOo
