Zana sei

Chapter eight: A realization

It took a split second for Vegeta to figure out what was going to happen before he dashed off into the jungle. Running with his hands over his crotch, Vegeta could hear the screams of the blue haired woman along with the feet of the women who followed her and him into the tall forest of trees.

"Wait! Vegeta! There is a kental on your puni! (A/N: Guess what that is.) I just need to slice it off and you'll be fine!" Buruma called as she ran after Vegeta. The kental's fangs must have had a hallucinogenic in it and it seemed it had already reached Vegeta's brain. Really, she was delusional! There was nothing else besides women and that much Buruma knew.

Vegeta let out a small, terrified squeak when he heard what Buruma said. The woman he was attracted to wanted to cut it off! This was not going well. He let go of his groin, since it was causing him to funny and slowing him down, and speed toward a small stream. He leaped in and began wading in the water, being careful not to step on any rocks least he cut his feet. Blood would make it easier for them to track him.

Buruma slowed down, Vegeta was too far ahead to catch now. They would have to have out smart and trap her so she could slice off the oddly smooth creature. She turned to face the women of her village with a serious expression. Casting a few looks at several women, she nodded to the left. The women split into a small group from the others and stepped to Buruma's left. After giving a quick nod to Surayah, she gave them the signal to leave. She did not know why she did this silently, she just had an inkling that it was the right thing to do

She did this two more times until she was left with her own group. Continuing forward, the group ran under the canopy of trees as their leader looked for signs that the fleeing woman had been there.

Vegeta smiled to himself as he sensed that the large group of women had split into smaller ones. Smart woman, she was attempting to ambush him and so far she was right on his tail.

As if afraid of the figure of speech, his tail uncoiled from around his waist and curled loosely around his ankle. Vegeta frowned down at it and put it back in its place.

His thoughts wandered back to Buruma's activities. She was tracking him and doing a hell of a job. 'Well, she can't track what does not touch the ground.' He thought as he rose high into the air. He stopped suddenly, maybe he should not reveal all of his powers now. After all one shock was enough for one day and if they were going to react like this then he would rather wait.

Floating back down until he was a foot in the air, Vegeta sniffed the air carefully. She was nearby. Vegeta flew off between the trees, turning every other moment. He soon came to the mouth of a cave and flew inside. He dropped down from the air and landed softly on the ground.

Vegeta's eyebrows rose slightly when he glanced around the cave. Millions of small shimmering blue crystals adorned the walls. He slowly walked down the corridor of the cave, following his nose to water. He soon came upon a cavern with a medium sized pool of water. The other three walls shone with brilliant blue crystals, but one had water running down it making the cerulean crystals shine and sparkle even more. What surprised Vegeta though, was the multi-colored spring.

He knelt down besides it, pondering whether it was safe to drink. Though, his throat was dry and his thirst pushed him to reach down and sip some of the water from his hand. "Mmm." He moaned and put his hands back in the water to gulp some more down.

After quenching his thirst, Vegeta walked across the room to an archway. Peering out, he saw another and began to walk down it. As he paced along the earth made hallway, he felt a pressure began to pull down on his body. Vegeta frowned, maybe he shouldn't have drank that water. As he continued down the tunnel, the pressure grew more and more pulling his body closer to the ground. Bye the time he came to another room he could barely take a step forward.

For some reason, the gravity was heavier here in this cave. It reminded Vegeta of the gravity rooms on Frieza's ship, except he could not control the gravity.

He struggled forward on his hands and knees, determined to get to the center. Once there, Vegeta sat and fought for breath, all the while his mind raging.

He could hide out here until the women got used to the fact that he was different. If he trained, he could get used to the gravity in the cave and getting stronger was not such a bad thing either Vegeta swiveled his head around to inspect the room, making the soreness in his neck increase. There was no another archway that led God knew where, but Vegeta was in no condition to further inspect the deeper dwellings of the cave.

He groaned to himself and began to crawl painstakingly back toward the tunnel. Yes it would be good to stay here for a while, where his manhood was in danger.

>>>>>>>>>>

Buruma stared, confused at the trail. It just stopped, but if it stopped then Vegeta should be right here. Where was she? She could not have just disappeared.

'What if Vegeta did disappear?' a tiny voice whispered in her head.

She shook her head, that was impossible. No one could just disappear without trace.

'But it seems that Vegeta has,' the voice whispered a little louder this time.

Buruma growled to herself, she was arguing with herself about someone disappearing. Maybe she was beginning to go crazy.

"Jaad tian Buruma?" One of the women called.

Buruma turned to the tall, slender woman who called her. "We should go back." She said firmly.

The women nodded and they turned to walk back toward their home.

>>>>>>>>>>>

"Well, did you find her?"

Surayah shook her head as she bit her lip, "No Buruma, was did not find her at all." Her eyes brimmed with pools of tears. "And this is all my fault!" she wailed.

"Surayah, calm down. This is not your fault." Buruma pulled her into a comforting hug.

"Y-yes it is. If-if I had not g-gotten her angry, e-everything would be fine!" Surayah hiccuped then wailed louder into Buruma's ear.

Buruma winced, but kept Surayah in the embrace. "So what? Vegeta gets angry over just about everything. I'm sure if you hadn't gotten her angry, something else would."

Surayah shook her head as she drew back from her long time friend. "No, you don't understand." She sniffed, seemingly calming down. "If I hadn't gotten her angry, sh-" she hesitated for a moment to think. "Vegeta wouldn't have revealed anything."

Buruma shook her head softly, "It was good that she revealed what she did. She was in danger, she still is."

Surayah shook her head, her soft pink hair swaying slightly. "She is not in danger Buruma. She-Vegeta is different. Your mother said-"

"What did my mother say?" Buruma asked quietly, her whole body tense.

"She said that we should except Vegeta for what she was." Surayah murmured.

Buruma's body relaxed and she snorted, "Oh great, they're both delusional."

"Buruma!" Surayah gasped.

"What?"

"Your mother!"

Buruma snorted again and rolled her eyes, "Yes, Surayah. I am very well aware of the fact that she is my mother."

Surayah shook her head and pointed, "No, your mother."

Buruma turned around to see the normally cheery face of her mother in all seriousness. "Mother, what is it?"

"I meant what I told Surayah, Buruma. We should except Vegeta for what she is." She threw up her hand before Buruma could interrupt her. "Now, I know that you hate being wrong, which is why you insist that Vegeta has a kental on her puni. However, whatever it is does not look anything like a kental, anyone can see that. You're just too stubborn and the women in the village are too afraid of your anger to tell you otherwise. Now I want you to stop this and as soon as Vegeta gets back here you apologize."

Buruma growled, but nodded curtly and walked into her and Chichi's hut. She stomped across the length of the hut to her mat and plopped down.

"She 's right you know." Came the voice of Buruma's younger sister. Chichi sat on her own mat, combing her fingers through her wet hair.

Buruma sneered. "Do you always agree with what she says?"

Chichi glanced at her blue hotheaded sister and stopped combing her hair. "No, I don't. I do agree with her now though. Everyone else has excepted Vegeta, Buruma. Why can't you?" She asked sternly, as if she were the older sister.

Buruma looked down as she pressed her lips together and narrowed her eyes, "I just don't understand it. I mean, what else could she be if not female?" she looked up with questioning eyes at Chichi.

Chichi shrugged, "I don't know Buruma. She said she was a man, so I guess that's what she is. However," her voice took on that stern tone again. "just because you don't understand something doesn't give you the right to do this. You will apologize like Mother said." She placed her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes.

Buruma chuckled and nodded, "Who is the older sister again?"

Chichi continued to comb her fingers through her hair, "Sometimes I forget."

>>>>>>>>>>

Vegeta sighed as he leaned back against the crystal wall of the cave. The bath he had taken was quite refreshing and the water was actually warm. He had caught a large deer looking beast that sated his large hunger. Yes, this cave would do quite well.

He let out another content sigh before his black eyes slowly shut.

>>>>>>>>>

Vegeta watched as the pink haired annoyance began to wail loudly.

Feeling concern and the need to comfort, he gathered her in a warm embrace, but to no avail. She kept bawling. He spoke soothingly to her in quiet tones before she drew back and began to talk. Vegeta shook his head and began to talk again. The little one shook her head and began to talk again before her interrupted her. She looked down for a moment before murmuring something. Vegeta felt a surge of annoyance before making a comment, which surprised the woman he was talking to. Vegeta turned back to her with agitation then snorted and gave a smart remark. Again she shook her head and pointed.

Vegeta turned to see the blond haired, dizzy woman who was his mother. A tinge of guilt swept over him before the words his mother said turned the feeling into annoyance yet again. He began to talk when she stopped him with a hand and continued on. The more she talked the angrier Vegeta got. Once she finished he could nothing but nod and stalk to his hut.

Once inside, he began to get the treatment from his ebony haired sister. He argued with her for a minute before she made him smile.

>>>>>>>>>

Vegeta's yes snapped open and he shot up. What in the world was that about?

He ran his fingers through his mass of spikes as he thought back on the dream. Another of those dreams where he was part of the village, he frowned.

Though one thing confused him. Why had he dreamt that the blond woman was his mother and the brunette his sister? They were not his kin. They were the blue haired woman's.

He furrowed his brow as he thought and an unbidden word crashed into his head: bond,

Vegeta violently shook his head to clear it from that thought. That was preposterous, how could he have bonded with that woman without marking her?

He narrowed his eyes as he thought of the things that Nappa and Radditz had taught him of their culture.

"To bond with a female you must mark her." Radditz told him.

"Yes that is true Radditz, but there is also another way. Sharing blood is a way of bonding, even if one has drank the other's blood and it was not returned." Nappa had reminded him.

Radditz nodded in remembrance, "Yes, it takes longer to bond that way, but ultimately leads to a full bond and marking."

Vegeta pressed his lips together, but he has not drank any of her blood and he certainly did not remember her drinking any of his.

An uncalled memory pushed it's way into his thoughts.

"It all starts with dreams." Nappa said.

Again Radditz nodded, "Role reversal dreams to be exact, they come few at a time at first, but come more and more often as the bond grows stronger."

Vegeta's face paled. Dreams. Role reversal dreams. That was what he had been having. The first one made no sense then, but now it all came together.

He rapidly shook his head, he was being silly. There was no point in which he was bleeding when the woman could have drank his blood.

His body froze. Unless she did so when he had first crashed on the planet. He was bleeding then. Although why would she drink blood? He would have to ask her if the females ever allowed him back.

He hoped that would not be too long, after all he did not want to be lonely. Vegeta snorted to himself, he was getting soft, but he had no way of getting off this planet so he was stuck. He just hoped he did not get too soft. Maybe he was feeling this way because he was bonding to the woman.

Vegeta groaned and fell back against the wall. If she had drank his blood and what he remembered were true, he was truly bonding to the woman. And once it started it did not stop.

Well, what did you guys think? Hope you liked it. Just what is our little prince gonna do now? How will this change his relationship with Buruma? What are the other Saiya-jin up to?
