Disclaimer~ I’ve looked and looked, but can’t seem to find those damn legal papers that show that I own Dragonball Z or GT. So I guess I still don’t own it.

Caught Between Two Worlds
Chapter 1
Under the blood-red suns, Vegeta, Prince of all Sayains, hunted in the sweltering jungle, his piercing black eyes were alert, watchful and merciless. For five days he had tracked his prey, first over Vegeta-sei vast dunes and deserts and now through the hidden recesses of the jungle. What he tracked had ventured further south from civilization where there were provincial villages, small enclaves of lesser warriors and settlements of farmers and various crafters with their young children and animals. The young were just as much food to what he hunted as the animals were. He trod on the lush vegetation that was his path, his enhanced senses only searching for the stink of the Cursed Ones. They were his only interest and destroying them was his only goal.
This was what he was born for, the thrill of the hunt, the testing of his skills and powers against a strong enemy. But now it was personal, they had taken from him that which he had needed more than life itself, and they would pay even at the cost of his own.
Other scents washed over him, the thick musky smell of animals large and small that inhabited the jungle, the ripe green smell of vines and flora and then the slight smell of blood underneath it all. Blood, no longer fresh, of the ones who had been caught and consumed by what he stalked. The clean smell of water filled his nostrils as the pounding drumbeat of it reached his ears, fresh water to abate his thirst. Emerging into the slight clearing he found a majestic waterfall flowing down the steep cliff side and splashing into the river below. Pausing for only a moment to drink he flew up to the top of the cliff to survey his surroundings. Below him, not far from the falls was a village, the scent of multiple people reaching him as the noise of their daily activities whispered in his ears. It was his duty to protect them, and he would.
Then he caught the rank smell of the Cursed Ones and he snarled at the overpowering scent. Vegeta’s body tensed for the attack as he quickly pivoted in time to find it jumping from the branches overhead, its black claws slicing at his face as it flew past him. Vegeta jumped sideways to evade the mauling of skin that the sharp claws could inflict. He lifted his leg to twist and connect with the Cursed Ones jaw causing it to fly backwards into the lush grasses. Making sure his tail was tightly wrapped around his waist, he set into his fighting stance waiting for its next charge as his gaze perused the once humanoid being. Looking more or less normal, the only difference between it and its present victim were the claws and teeth. Large welts and long gashes flowing with dark red blood covered its body. Seems he had been sent a distraction, but he wouldn’t spend much time in getting rid of it. Above all he lived for combat.
“He sacrificed you to slow me down didn’t he?” Vegeta asked as it got up to slowly circle him. “What did you do to deserve such a fate?”
It only hissed in response, showing needle sharp teeth and a flicking blue tongue before attacking, its teeth and claws its only weapons. This one was not overly strong and had no power to speak of besides the enhanced strength and endurance the Final Kiss had given it. Vegeta taunted it with his cruel smirk, arm muscles ready for the attack and reaching behind him he unsheathed the long sword, swiftly pulling it forward over his right shoulder. As it leaped towards him, he swung the keen-edged sword down and sideways severing its head from its shoulders in one smooth stroke. The ease of the job filled him with disappointment. He did not like relying on the sword in battle, but removing the head was the easiest way to kill a Cursed One, short of completely incinerating the body which could drain one’s energy fast. The poisonous kiss gave them unholy healing abilities. He watched as the body dissolved away into nothing but a steaming bloody smear on the ground.
“Not much of a challenge,” he muttered as he sheathed his sword. “But the day is still young.”
His hand was still on the hilt when he heard the first scream. Flashing through the jungle he flew rapidly in the direction of the sound, his black and gold armor a blur in the lush green. He burst through the over growth into the clearing of the small village where he discovered that the first Cursed One had been as he thought, a distraction, delaying him just long enough. Bodies of bleeding and torn men and animals littered the ground. Others were running in panic, holding their young as they hid. It was no use hiding, the Cursed Ones had an enhanced sense of smell and they would be hunted down and devoured if he failed in his task today and left even one alive. The thrill of the upcoming battle sang in his blood.
Three Cursed Ones were crouched in the dirt feeding on the now motionless bodies, their mouths dripping blood as they gorged themselves on the still warm flesh. Their vicious teeth snapped as he charged, just insane enough on the blood of their victims to choose to fight over flight. Vegeta carved the arm off of the closest one as he shot energy blasts to push the other two back. Leaping into a flying kick he followed the first one down and with a swift arc of his sword removed its head, noting the body was already starting to dissolve. Spinning around he slowly advanced on the other two.
“I am Vegeta!” He shouted, “ Prince of all Saiyans. This is my planet and my people and you do not belong here!”
“You are too late,” one of them hissed at him. “You are outnumbered and Lord Freeza will feast on your heart this day.”
“Fuck him! Today he goes hungry!” Vegeta roared as he leaped into battle once more. Steel rang against elongated black claws as the screams and stench of the burning village rose around them. He knew there was at least three more close by as well as Freeza. His death was Vegeta’s right. Swiftly cleaving the head from the first one, he turned to face the last one who was armed with a small sword. Steel clang against steel as its sharp claws tore into his right shoulder, digging deep furrows. He ignored the pain and pushed forward with his attack, removing the final one’s head.
“I am your death,” he murmured as he watched the final body steam and dissolve. Grabbing a rag that littered the ground he wiped the blood from his blade, carefully searching the area for the rest of them. The power of the Final Kiss allowed the Cursed Ones to move unhindered their energy levels undetectable. It was only Vegeta's sensitive hearing that located movement behind him and he whirled around to find his prey emerging from the doorway in front of him. At last he thought, at last.
