Ch. 11
Bra walked into the gravity room which was currently being occupied by Sakura as she hashed it out with her father. She needed to let out some steam and what better way to do it than with the saiyan prince.
She threw the door open and both Vegeta and Sakura turned to see Bra storming towards Sakura slapping her without a warning. Vegeta looked at his daughter with a raised eyebrow wondering what was wrong with his princess to actually do that.
"Bitch! This is all your fault! If you hadn't made an appearance me and Pan would be okay right now!"
"What the heck are you talking about brat?" - asked Vegeta as Sakura turned to look at him as if asking him what was wrong.
"She told her to break up with me!" - Bra sobbed suddenly very hurt.
"I did nothing of the sort. Don't think you can make me help you order your life. Just because I am here doesn't mean that things would turn up alright!"
"You knew?" - Vegeta asked her.
"I knew that Pan wanted to tell the brat something about the truth. But I didn't order her to do something for me. I may not know the brat that much but I know that she makes her own decisions and no one can tell her what to say or do."
"It was about time the brat made up her mind over what she really wanted." - said Vegeta in a noncommittal voice. Bra looked at her father incredulous and then said…
"Don't you want your little princess to be happy?!" - her voice a shushed whisper that spoke volumes of heartfelt tears that threatened to spill on any second given.
Sakura snorted in disgust, but was surprised to see the prince stay firm and cool…
"You told me yourself not a few months ago that you were not so little anymore. Not to mention that your happiness means a lot to me but not at the cost of somebody else's happiness." - Bra didn't cry. Tears fell from her eyes, but she was not going to cry.
Her father had spoken the truth and even though it hurt her to know that he was right, she could not lie. Pan had broken her heart, but she hadn't really meant to do so. It was far better to stay true to your heart than lie. Bra knew she would never feel love for another being again.
She stood there quietly and for a minute Sakura thought that she was going to either run away crying like the bratty girl she was or bend down and cry showing once again the bratty and snotty girl she was. She was disgusted with the princess of saiyans. But what she said next stunned both the two occupants of the gravity room far more than a tantrum would've.
"If Pan doesn't want a girl for a mate, then I will be a boy!" "Turn me into a guy!"
Vegeta's eyes widened and then his eyes rolled over and he slumped to the floor unconscious.
Bra ignored the unconscious body of his father a few steps away from her feet and looked at Sakura with determination in her eyes. Sakura blinked a couple of times before she started to chuckle and then laughed right out at Bra. She kept on laughing so hard that at times Bra could've sworn tears were rolling down her cheeks unabashed.
It made her so mad that she rushed to push a fist into her but got sidestepped by Sakura who continued to laugh at her. Bra started to fight her while every effort of beating Sakura to a bloody pulp were sidestepped by Sakura who even though she wasn't really paying attention, she knew instinctively where to block and sidestep her rival easily enough.
Finally the laughter died down and Sakura looked at her for a moment silently pondering if the brat had gone off her mind or was simply trying to keep Pan as her mate.
"You don't deserve my help, one because you are a spoiled brat and two because you haven't gained my respect. Not to mention that you seemed to think I can do the impossible. I am not a witch, I am not immortal and I'm certainly not able to change your sex just because you ask me for it. I'll forget your act of stupidity if you give up now."
Bra felt the incredible urge to go up to her and make her see her side of things but decided against it by saying…
"What can I do to make you believe me when I say that I love Pan and that I will take care of her?"
Without turning Sakura said in a serious and firm voice…
"If she didn't want you as her mate now, what makes you think that she would want you as a guy? Not to mention again that I can't do sex changes. I am not a witch."
Then she was gone.
When the door of the gravity room closed, Bra fell down to her knees and cried. It was a couple of minutes later that she noticed someone was with her. She raised her head and found this strange looking woman looking at her with something akin to pity. The woman had long brownish gray hair and deep black fathomless eyes.
Her dress was long and simple white. Her skin creamy white and flawless. She had no halo in her head, but Bra imagined that she was some sort of goddess.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" - Bra croaked out, her voice still sounding hoarse from all the crying she had been doing before.
"You shouldn't cry. The princess of saiyans shouldn't cry. I am the goddess of the late Vegeta-sei. You can call me Light and since Sakura won't do what she's told, I will concede your dream."
"Which is?" - Bra asked suddenly very suspicious of the goddess in front of her.
"To be Pan's mate of course. I will change your appearance from a female demi-saiyan to a full blooded male saiyan, but the wooing of Pan, would be all up to you." - Bra thought of it and was just about to say something when her father who she thought had been knocked out for good roared out from the ground.
"You will not!" - Vegeta stood up quickly and began to turn super saiyan.
But with one finger movement from the goddess, he was suddenly smashed into the wall of the gravity room and even if he was turned super saiyan he could not break free.
"Hush Vegeta. I am merely giving your daughter the tools to carry out what she wants. It's her decision not yours."
"If I ever wanted another son, I could've aimed for one! I will not have you ruin my daughter's life!" - he roared out again trying to free himself from the GR's wall but found it the wall absorbing his energy instead of dissipating into smoke as he thought it would.
The Goddess of the Light of Vegeta-sei ignored him and urged Bra to take a step towards her.
"I must say that this should be what you really want because if you change your mind, you will not be able to do so. This change will be permanent. You understand?" - she asked Bra.
Bra looked at her father and then looked at the Goddess of Light as if to decide what she wanted to do. Sakura's words came back to her and she thought them over as to what they meant. All her life she had more or less followed what her father told her to do. Her mother had made no restrictions in her but the fact that whatever she chose to do that she would stick to it and she had not failed to comply to that until now.
"I want it and I won't change my mind."
"BRA! If you defy me I will never accept you into my arms again." - Vegeta's voice boomed through the gravity room making Bra think twice before she exhaled and said…
"Then I guess this is goodbye."
