The Dark and Light side of Love

WARNINGS: Language, gore, mentioned death, and I guess a little angst :/

Sorry everyone for the wait. I started writing a long time ago and…I had the chapter finished…I just wasn’t very proud of it. So I kept putting it off and putting it off until I got really bored, and decided to rewrite this thing. (Just the chapter). So, uh…here ya are. ^^

Julesie - I know. :( I’m not making him in character am I? But, wouldn’t you cry all the time if your love was suffering? I probably wouldn’t, but…I don’t know. I’m just looking at it from other people’s point of view I guess. *shrugs* Anyways, I might have to ask for advice on the whole pregnancy thing. Considering that I’ve never been through it. I’ll probably base it off of other people’s ideas. :/ Is that wrong? Yeah I was planning on having it at the end…I guess. Hm. Though, should I continue on afterwards? Or should I just end it when he haves the kid? Hm. What a pickle. Well, I guess it’s up with you reviewers. You guys read this stuff. I simply try to make it entertaining. ^^ Hope I’m doing a good job.


Vegeta’s POV


Ah, and another dream of my beloved, and it’s a delicious one. I was being pressed up against the wall as Kakarot devoured me. My neck is being assaulted by his gentle kisses and his hot tongue, my body being touched by his calloused and gentle hands, and I am panting, moaning, and writhing in this sweet torture. I decided I couldn’t wait for the finale as I shoved ‘him’ up against the wall.

I don’t know what the scenery is and I don’t really care. All I care to see now is my love’s demanding eyes, filled with nothing but lust. So much lust that they’re almost too maddening for me to handle. I devoured his hot lips and held his soft locks firmly so he couldn’t escape from me. While my mouth was busy, I made my hands useful by tearing off his clothes so I could devour the rest of his wondrous body. He tore off mine in return as we both battled to see who would be conquered first. The battle ended as my love suddenly sunk his flesh-tearing fangs into my jugular and I cried out in ecstasy. He savored me by slowly licking the wound and kissed down to my chest and bit down there. He seemed to have done it more harshly than before because I cried out more in pain than pleasure. That’s when I stirred awake as the pain was starting to feel real.

I woke with a start when I felt a presence on me. When I saw the figure, I didn’t recognize it. I panicked when the pain was felt on my neck and chest, but didn’t know why. The figure laughed above me and greeted me with a gruff voice, “About time you woke up, my precious King of Shadows. Or should I say, ex-King of Shadows.” He grinned maliciously at the expression on my face, which was probably surprise and something else that I probably wasn’t aware of.

Looking at the figure, I noticed that it was dark and I couldn’t see any features that the figure had. How long has Kakarot been gone? Why would he leave me for this long? Who are these men and what do they want?! “KAKA--” I tried calling for my beloved when a hand was clasped over my mouth.

“Shush now. We can’t have you making any noise...yet.” The figure said with much mockery.

There was another sound to my left as a deep voice said, “Hurry up! You know the King doesn’t leave him alone for long!” The voice whispered impatiently.

“Yeah! If only we would’ve known that the King was going to leave him a few hours ago, we would’ve had more time to do this!” Said a much lighter voice behind the figure on top of me.

“I know that! I didn’t know how long he was going to leave him! I just found out where he was going! Now both of you shut up! You’re wasting…precious…time.” The figure above looked at me seductively as he said the last sentence.

Wait. He said Kakarot left me a few hours ago? Why would he leave me for that long? Maybe something’s happened to him. Maybe he lost track of the time or maybe… “Now let’s see, how shall we start off? Should I cut you up right now?” He pulled out a good sized knife. “Or take my time in taking your sanity?” I panicked at the thought of him doing anything of the sort to me.

Funny. The very thought of torture terrifies me, but the thought of death has me wanting it’s infinite darkness to consume me forever. Then again, right now, I don’t want to die. I’m just starting to have a life with my beloved. “I don’t know, Muri. Can you decide for me?”

I heard the figure named Muri next to me chuckle darkly. “Take his sanity. That’s probably what he did with his victims before he turned them.” He finished with malice.

I tried to explain myself before they did anything with me. “I don’t play with my food.”

“Damn you! You are going to pay for all our mens’ lives…with yours in return. Except…you will not get a quick death.” The figure above me then moved his knife to my throat, then gently let it glide down my chest until it hit a spot that stung.

That bastard cut me. He cut me just to wake me up! I tried to keep my breathing calm as I took in his words. So…this is revenge. Figures. Wait. Didn’t Kakarot order the guards not to tell anyone that I was here? There’s no way they would disobey orders unless they had a death sentence. Well…what if these were the guards? Yes…yes of course. It makes sense.

I felt the blade cut into my musings as it cut into the wound already made on my chest. I screamed bloody murder as it cut it’s way deeper inside me…near my heart. I couldn’t breathe for a moment as the blade was slowly pulled from me. As soon as I felt it leave, I started panting as fear took a hold of me. Fear. It’s been quite some time since I have felt this kind of emotion. Last time was…memories of my hated childhood came back to me as my father filled every dark corner of my mind. I closed my eyes and whimpered as breathing suddenly became painful.

I looked up to my torturer to see what his next move was. Instead, he was looking at me with a most amused expression. “Was that painful? Earlier when you were asleep, you looked like you were enjoying it.” All of them laughed. I tried to hide my embarrassment by struggling to get free underneath him. Muri and the other figure behind the one above quickly held me down as I tried to take the knife away from my torturer. “Hey…” he grabbed my hair and yanked it back so he could hold his knife to my throat. “If you don’t behave, I’ll just have to make this even more unbearable for you.” He finished his threat with a smirk. How can he make it more unbearable? I flinched as he took a hold of my jaw and rubbed his thumb across my chin and lips. “He is a beautiful piece of work, isn’t he men?”

I felt Muri get closer to me and whispered, “Yeah, he is.”

“What do you have in mind Sinrai?” The third unnamed figure asked.

My torturer, Sinrai, answered sarcastically, “What do you think?”

“Do it.” Muri answered.

I panicked more at the thought of what they had in mind. I struggled more and Muri and the third figure held me down tighter. Suddenly, there was a sharp sting in the right side of my hip. I yelped as I looked up and saw that he still had the knife in his hand. He only cut me…good. “I said behave. Next time you may not be so lucky.” Sinrai warned in a taunting tone.

He then continued to move the knife down my right thigh. I tried to hold back my pitiful whimpering, but the fear in me was too frantic. Sinrai rested his hand next to my head as he watched me battle with my sounds. Then he leaned his face down right above mine and smiled as he plunged the knife into my thigh. Right as I screamed, he claimed my lips with his. I tried moving my head to the side, but he tightened his hold on my hair. The more he started digging the knife into my leg, the more I screamed. The more I screamed, the more advantage he got. I tried moving my arms to push him away, but of course, they wouldn’t budge. I thought about kneeing him in his cock, but thought better of it. Only if it’s my only hope. What seemed like eternity, he finally pulled the knife out, but wouldn’t let me breathe.

When he let go of my hair, I moved my head to the side and panted air into my lungs. Next, I feel the bastard nuzzling my neck and I feel him bring the knife up from my leg, to my wounded hip, stomach, chest, and to his mouth. I saw him lap at the golden blood covering the blade. My eyes went wide when I realized what he was trying to do. I then acted and kneed him near his cock. I was actually aiming for it, but I was trying to act quickly, so I kneed him in the gut, I guess. I then thrashed as he doubled over and head-butted Muri and punched the other guy with my free arm. I leapt off of the bed and forgot I couldn’t walk very well and the wound in my leg wasn’t helping either. I guess running was out of the picture. I fell on my stomach and cried out when it agitated the hole in my chest. I tried crawling towards the door but was captured after a few inches.

An arm wrapped around my neck and I was dragged back to the bed and was thrown on my stomach. I felt someone jump on top of me and he took my right arm and twisted it behind my back. I grunted in frustration and pain and tried squirming out of his grasp. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you…” I heard my torturer warn as I again felt that blade rest between my shoulder blades.

I decided to go with his advice and stopped struggling. The knife stopped digging into my back as I laid here helpless and panting. “Hm. I almost forgot who we were dealing with here. I should be more alert, though…” he leaned down closer to whisper in my ear, “you should be too.” That’s when I heard a snap and next thing I know, I couldn’t see anything for a moment. Once I came back to my senses, I realized I was screaming. I hurried to silence myself when I realized why I was screaming. There was a sharp pain going up my spine. Did he break it? I tried moving a bit to see if it was true. Once I did, the pain shot up again.

“What did you do to me?!” I yelled in panic.

“Oh, I only broke your worthless tail. Though, it’s oh so soft.” Sinrai ran his fingers through it to prove his point. When he did, I tried holding back a scream of agony as he went over the broken bone.

As I continued to hold back my whimpering, he rested his head against the back of my neck. I couldn’t tell if he was nuzzling again, or sniffing. “Hm. I don’t know how I didn’t notice it before…he smells delicious. Don’t you agree Muri?”

I felt Muri come closer from wherever he was standing before to take a whiff of me. “Mmmm. You’re right, he does. But why? Is he in heat?”

Sinrai grabbed my hair again to pull it back and expose my neck. “No. He isn’t mated yet.”

“Hm. I guess he’s just special then.” Muri replied.

“Yeah he’s special…and gorgeous. Too bad he pisses me off to no end. Otherwise, I would just use him for a little fuck toy.” Sinrai answered with much lust.

“I rather die.” I answered back harshly, but with much exhaustion.

“Hm…that you would. After all, that’s all you’re good for. ” Sinrai stated matter-of-factly.

I growled at him in warning, but there’s no way I can back up my threat. I’m too exhausted to really care about what happens at this point. It could be that I’m bleeding to death. My heart leaped as that thought came to mind. No. I have to stay alive. For my Kakarot. I must be strong.

I think he knows. Oh shit, I think he knows. He knows I’m getting weaker. Okay, maybe I do care what happens at this point. Because he just let go of my arm, which feels numb, and is trailing his hand down my waist and the knife to the waistband of my shorts. My mind can only scream at me of what is going to happen next, and all I can do is lay here and take it.

I panted harder as he slowly started cutting down the side of my shorts. “NO!” I couldn’t help it. I had to at least try to keep this from happening to me again. I don’t think I can handle it.

“Now, hush, sweetheart while I ravish you inside and out.” My torturer answered my cries of denial sadistically.

I winced when he called me that. Now bringing back more of that fear that I endured in my innocent days. I tensed when I felt the cloth tear away from me and whimpered as I felt him kneed my ass. “That’s it. The more tense you are, the more it’ll hurt.” I heard the bastard whisper seductively to me.

I waited for the familiar excruciating pain, but it never came as I heard the door to the room burst open and the lights turned on. I blinked towards the door in hope that Kakarot had finally come back. My hopes were revealed when I saw him with his father and the doctor. I almost wanted to cry and hate myself for ever doubting my beloved Kakarot. I heard them both gasp as they stared at the sight before them.

“Kakarot…” I called for him weakly.

“VEGETA!! You bastards! What have you done to him!” I heard the fear and anger in my love’s voice and I wanted to reassure him that I was okay, but I didn’t have the strength. At least, I think I’m okay.

My hair was once again grabbed as my head was again yanked back, more harshly than before, and the blade once again in it’s place at my throat. “We’re finally getting our revenge on this evil little fuck! He should die! Not be the King’s next whore!!”

“Let go of him or die!!” Kakarot shouted. I’ve never seen my beloved so angered before.

Sinrai didn’t move and next thing I knew, the body that was on top of me was gone and I saw it’s head fly across the room. Gold rained down upon me and the body was thrown against the wall and incinerated.

“Vegeta! Are you okay? Oh baby, I promise I’ll never leave you alone again! I’m so sorry! I’m sorry!” Kakarot tried holding back his tears as he held me in his comforting arms.

“You better not…leave me…like that again…” I answered weakly.

When Kakarot finally looked at me, he gasped. “Oh love! You’re hurt! I’m so sorry!”

“Kakarot…calm down. As long as you…treat these wounds…I’ll be fine.” I tried reassuring him, but it was doing more harm than good. He wasn’t even listening to me.

“Doc! Hurry! Take care of him!” Kakarot turned to the Doc and left my side for the Doc to take his place.

“Kakarot! Don’t leave me!” I called out for him again. Except more strongly. I only saw one head fly, I didn’t see two others.

He rushed to my other side, “I won’t, love. I can’t believe I let this happen to you. What all did they do to you? Please tell me…” He pleaded me in rushed sentences.

“Calm down…I will.” He let out a breath and slumped his shoulders in relief. I looked around us as the Doc treated my wounds while Kakarot looked to see how bad they were. “Hey, Kakarot…what happened to Muri…and that other guy?”

Kakarot lifted his head to look at me with disappointment and shock. “Uh…one of them got away and I killed the other one, remember?”

“One of them…got away? Then, what happened to…the third one?” I asked with mild shock.

But Kakarot was more shocked. “There was a third one?”

“Yes, Kakarot! Was he not here…when you came?”

He shook his head. “No, there was only two. What were their names? I’ll find them for you Vegeta and give them the same torture that they gave you.” He stroked my cheek as he told me this.

“Well…one of their names…is Muri. I didn’t get…the other’s…name…uh.” I laid my head back as exhaustion tried to take over my body and mind.

“Vegeta?” My love asked in a worried tone.

“He’s alright, your Highness. Just let him rest. He’s been through a lot, judging by these wounds.” The Doc replied.

“How bad are they?” Kakarot immediately turned his attention to my wounds again.

“Well, it seems like you two are taking care of him here. I’m going to go do something useful and find out who those vengeful, craving morons were.” Bardock decided to make his presence noticeable.

“Bardock…I think…they were…those guards that…came in earlier.” I tried explaining him my theory.

He thought for a moment. “Now that you mention it. I believe I’ve seen them before. Who was that one that Kakarot just brutally killed?”

I smiled. “Sinrai.”

“Ah, yes. He was the first in command of our troops and the only ones he would bring with him to get revenge would be people that would know how.” He shrugged. “I guess I should find a new general.” He went to leave, but paused. “Vegeta, would you happen to know what the other moron looked like?”

I shook my head weakly. “It was dark. The bastards were either…lucky, or smart.”

“I see.” Bardock said with disappointment. “Well, next time he attacks you, let us know.”

I winced when the Doc started wrapping gauze on my wounds after putting some strong smelling liquid on them. “Asshole.” He smirked and left.

Kakarot hasn’t been paying attention to anything except to what the Doc has been doing. He’s been stroking my hair every now and then, and whenever I would wince, he’d tense up. “Kakarot…relax, love. I’ll live…unfortunately.”

He looked at me sharply. “Now don’t start that! What about me? Have you even thought about how I’ll react if you leave me? When you’re hurt? You’re in the middle of the transformation! I don’t want it to get worse! I’m suppose to…! My part is to…! I wanted to…” Kakarot lost to the sorrow in him as his beautiful, crystal tears fell again.

I brought up my hand to reach his face so I could wipe his tears. “It’s alright, Kakarot. I…forgive you. It’s ok.” My arm started to fall when I couldn’t hold it up anymore and Kakarot quickly grabbed it and gently kissed my palm.

I usually react to his sweet actions when I purr or swing my tail in a happy manor, but I coughed when I tried to purr and I yelled when I realized my tail was still broken. “Uh-oh. It looks like they got a hold of your tail.” The Doc noted as he inspected it. I gasped as he probed it.

“Those miserable bastards! I will hunt them down and CUT off their tails and strangle them with their own appendages!!” Kakarot always ventilates his anger by describing what he’ll do to his enemies. Come to think of it, so do I. Doesn’t really surprise me. We have to have something in common.

I tried to suppress a laugh. “I know…you’ll do your worst…Kakarot. For now…stay with me…until I get better.”

“Of course, love. I’ll never leave your side for any reason again.” He assured me.

“Well…it doesn’t have…to be forever. Just until…I get…better.” My eyes started to close.

“Now, now Your Highness. Don’t make him repeat himself. The poor thing’s went through enough as it is. Let him rest now. He won’t be able to move for a while. All you can do now is keep him company. I’ll come to check on him in an hour.” The Doc explained as he got up to leave.

“Yes. Thank you, Doc.” Kakarot replied without ever taking his eyes off me.

When he left, Kakarot urgently, but gently, claimed my lips. He slowly moved his with mine, like last time, and I savored it. When he pulled away, he touched his sweet lips to my hot forehead, and swiftly slid next to me in his bed. I nuzzled into his comforting touch as he wrapped protective arms around me. I rested my head against his chest and listened to his heart beat. I was out after the first couple of beats.

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

Hm. I’m actually very proud of this chapter. This is my second time writing it. I was suppose to copy my first copy onto my laptop (because my Word sucks), but I ended up rewriting the whole chapter. Well, a little bit at the beginning is the same, but other than that, it’s not as gory as my first copy, but my first copy is not as detailed or long either. I also hope this makes up for my last chapter (I wasn’t too proud of that one, though I could tell not many people were either). So be thankful that a cool author like me exists! Nah I’m kidding. I need work. Hm. I haven’t had many reviews since my last chapter. I hope I didn’t chase any of my reviewers away. *starts to tear up* I’m so evil. *cries* Well, I hope I get more this time…or the same amount…whatever. Either way, I’m grateful. ^^
