Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Saiyan Empire ❯ Rude/Pleasant Awakenings ( Chapter 6 )

The beeping entered his dreams and woke him from his deep sleep.

He sat up to realise it was a message beeping. Only the urgent ones beeped.

"NOW WHO on Vegetasei feels it fit to wake ME in the middle of an off morning!" Shinto growled and stomped to the message board.

He clicked the revieve button and yelled into the screen before it even came on "WHAT?"

He almost shrunk back as he realised it to be his father

"BRAT! That is NO way to address you father. NOW, what is this I hear about your sister?" The black haired Saiyan demanded.

Shinto slumped in his chair "Now why don't you go bother HER about it?" he said from underneath blue based bangs.

The elder Saiyan frowned into the screen, and then looked off screen, as if someone was talking to him. Upon looking back to the screen, he drew his brows together and frowned once again "I have NO time for such whining brat. Now i would rather bother the likes of YOU than the most famous one in the family right now. Now LIKE i said before. TELL me what you saw last night."

Shinto glared defiantly into his father's identical black eyes, and folded his arms. "Somebody fired a shot at the queen, Kijah saw it coming and took the blast for the queen. Simple as that." He rolled his eyes "It was NO big deal, the king would have saved her anyway."

Rotek snorted "No big deal eh? thats why my daughter is being promoted to Queen's guard. SHe's got the highest job in the kingdom,now all she needs is a mate. YOU on the other hand, have neither. I always wondered why you were so afraid of your sister"

Shinto was gaping, and his tail was 3 times its normal size " WHAT!?? QUEENS GUARD! THAT IS THE BIGGEST PILE OF"

Rotek smirked and held up a hand, Shinto stopped obediantly. " Shinto. You have a fine job, our family is one of the proudest in the land right now. I messaged you to inform you that, by the end of 4 solar periods, you and your sister will come to my continent to ... visit. With you both, will be a mate, or potential mate. Disobey me and face the consequences."

The screen went blank.

Shinto sat, staring at the screen. He cursed to himself and messaged Kijah. HMMF. He'd wake her up the same way his father had woken him up.

He went to move up in his seat and a piece of cloth got stuck, he leaned over and growled to himself, and then heard the message board flick on.

Without looking up, he spoke. "Well KIJAH I'm sorry to have INTERRUPTED your lovely life, but father intends to see the both of us in... "

"She's Sleeping." a male voice interrupted him.

Shinto's head shot up and he found himself looking straight into the eyes of Chatsu.

"Wh. WHAT!? What are you doing in my sister's quarters!?" Shinto would have jumped right through the screen if he could have.

Chatsu put on that smug smirk. "What do you think? Now message her later, she's sleeping."

The screen went blank.

Shinto stood up rigidly, tail fluffed, obviously ready to kill something. He stalked out of his room, as he needed to rid himself of all of this anger.

Little did he know who would be standing by the doorframe of the training arena, watching him shoot off massive ki blasts in his underwear.

*thud*

"Kuso.." a raspy male voice came from the floor.

Liena rolled over and sprawled out on her bed. She sighed and loved the fact that she could sleep a bit longer this morning. After a night like last night...

Her eyes snapped open

...and then immediately shut again. Her head pounded, and any sight of light sent sharp pains to the back of her head.

Liena rolled onto her stomach and slowly pushed herself up, opening her eyes a bit. "What on Vegetasei?.." her voice was raspy also.

She sat up, ignoring the obvious pain in her head and looked around, trying to recall what was going on.

Then she got a whiff of the room.. herself.. something just smelled different. Then something clicked in her mind.. *" Kuso"*

Liena leaned forward (as best she could with out falling) and peered over the bed.

She almost fell off the bed as she saw who was laying face first on the floor.

And slowly it all flooded back into her memory. She fell back onto the bed as every detail of the previous night flooded into her head at once.

"Ohhh.. ..my.... " Liena layed there in awe of herself. Literally speechless.

Then she looked over as Kakarott finally rose, and stumbled, his tail flailing out everywhere to keep balance.

"ow.. DAMN!" He fell over sideways a bit, holding his head. "What.. what the..."

Kakarott stood there, his back to Liena, recalling all of his memories also.

She watched and waited for HIS reaction.

Liena tryed to block the light out of her eyes, and watch Kakarott at the same time.

He slowly began to turn, and as he did, she almost jumped out of her skin.

He had the most wicked, half lidded grin on his face she'd ever seen.... "So... did YOU have fun last night?" he said in a raspy, but drawling voice.

Liena opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

Kakarott let go of his head and turned to face her, the grin still on his face. "Well now look what we've gotten ourselves into" he smirked, walking back towards her.

Liena back up onto the bed more. "What?" she said, her headache pounding, but she had no mind left to pay it any attention.

"Well, I KNOW you know... " He grinned, slipping a knee onto the bed

Liena backed up more. This guy was FULL of hormones!

He raised his brows, and winced slightly, from the headache. "Oh no don't worry, i know we're both a bit hung over... but i have a secret to tell you. And like i said, you already know it."

Liena stopped and let him crawl over ot her. He looked into her eyes for a second, and the girl could do no more than stare right back. He smiled a bit and finally spoke very softly

"Guess what Li?" he said, still staring straight at her.

For some reason, this struck her as funny, and she had to smile, fight back a girly giggle, and say "what?"

He leaned in until his lips barely touched her ear, and spoke the secret, that indeed they both already knew.

"You're stuck with me"

Liena smirked, as she had a feeling 'stuck' wasn't exactly the word for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Five hundered fifty three.. five hundred fifty four.."

Kijah sat up.. who the hell was COUNTING to themselves??

She looked around wearily, and then saw the origin of the counting. Chatsu, doing pushups.

He fixed his light gaze on her and smirked, jumped, flipped and landed on his feet. "Good morning gorgeous!"

Kijah shook her head and smirked. "Don't call me that.. show off."

Chatsu grinned wickedly, "Oh I wasn't the one SHOWING OFF last night Your Highship" he winked and slithered onto the bed next to her.

"Oh stop" She sat up and glared at him. " My Highship eh? lovely title" Kijah rolled her eyes

Chatsu propped his head up on on and elbow and smirked at her. "Well now... you ARE a QUEEN'S GUARD!" he drawled, his lids closing halfway.

Kijah rolled her eyes and layed back a bit. "eh.. yeah . Well maybe now my father will be happy with me" She thought a second and then drew her brows together "WAIT! how did you find out? I didn't tell you!" She also remembered that he had known last night

Chatsu shrugged and looked away for a bit. He looked back to her as his eyebrows went up. "OH! by the way. That stuck up brother of yours called. I'm assuming thats your brother.... anyway i told him you were sleeping." he shrugged

Kijah snorted and shook her head, forgetting her previous question. "Ohhhh yes! What sweet revenge. To see the look on his face when he saw YOU in my quarters! HA!" She grinned wickedly, knowing her brother detested Chatsu.

Chatsu grinned, but then scowled. "He says one thing wrong and I'll pound him into the ground so far you'll have to water his tail for him to GROW out"

Kijah raised a brow "interesting" she grinned. "A bit protective aren't we?"

Chatsu scowled a bit and looked away. HOW did she have such an affect on him?

"Well i think he wanted to leave you a message anyway" He said, and then looked back to her. His tail lashed wildly behind him.

Kijah eyed his tail for a second, as if deciding something, and then stood and jumped off the bed in one quick, smooth motion. "WELL THEN! I guess I'll have to PERSONALLY get the message myself!" She walked to the steam room to throw on her old armor.

"Ohh man she's getting cocky.." Chatsu thought as he eyed Kijah's stance. Tall and ..arrogant, as her tail was raised WAY above her head.

He stood and saw her out the door, and then fell into step next to her as she walked down the halls.

Chatsu looked over to her as she looked to him.

"I'm not cocky." she said simply, and then looked forward again.

Chatsu gaped at her for a second.. mind reader?... He thought and then shook it off. How odd.

They continued on the way to Shinto's quarters, not saying much to each other, but seemingly perfectly content with that alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She typed fast

She knew he'd be returning soon. Every morning he got up to go train with whatever unlucky guard that crossed his path. At first they'd been a match for him, but Bulma could tell that now he was just plain bored.

But she also knew she was 'supposed to be sleeping' at this hour, and if he caught her, he'd likely make her stay in the main corridor again.

Her typing pace quickened. She just needed to fix this letter to her parents and then finish the plans for the pre tournament speech.

She gritted her teeth as her fingers flew across the keys. Bulma felt as if she was on a time limit..

"You should be" his voice illuminated from behind her.

Bulma jumped clear out of her chair and faced Vegeta, one big sweat drop forming at her temple. "Uhm.. I was just.. I am finishing a few things." She said regaining her posture.

She looked at Vegeta and figured he had just finished training. He had his arms crossed... no shirt.. sweating... ripped armor pants....

She shook her head as he stopped speaking.

"You didn't hear a thing I said did you?" He said scowling

Bulma grinned and shook her head.

Vegeta rolled his eyes "Woman get to sleep . You're beginning to take on the habits of a Northerner."

The Northern Border inhabitants rarely slept. The sun on that side of the planet stayed down for about 2 hours, 3 at most. They were good warriors, as they trained more often. But their power levels never got very high due to their lack of a fair immune system.

Basically, lack of sleep causes one to deteriorate health wise, and Bulma got what Vegeta was hinting at.

"Fine." She spat and diverted her gaze. Bulma stomped to the bed and curled up in every one of the many comforters.

Vegeta smirked as his tail lashed free of his waist. He'd seen her assesing gaze, and basically felt THAT vibe. He slid next to her and let his tail weave its way under her many covers.

"Ohh jeeze Vegeta! Get a steam bath already! you know i don't like it when..."

It was about then his tail reached it's destination.

Bulma gave in and decided that a few hours out of work could do her no harm at all.

She turned over to look at him, and as usual he had 'that look'. The feral, sex-driven male look that she'd basically grown to love. This time though, he merely looked at her for a second. She stopped also, and the two seemed to be frozen in time. No sounds, no movement, just lost in the depths of each others eyes.

Vegeta of course, broke that seemingly endless gaze as his mouth slowly formed into a wicked grin.

For the millionth time, Bulma blushed and diverted her gaze from that infectuouos look. He'd always had a way of doing that to her.
