A Sayians Bond

Aloysius drug Zephyra for several minutes before stopping at the edge of a large meadow. The rain had slowed to a soft drizzle. The meadow was covered in soft grass and brightly colored flowers. Each drop of rain caused the flower it hit to wiggle slightly from it's impact.

"Is this yours, Prince?" Aloysius asked as he held Zephyra in the air beside him by the neck.

Her eyes widened as much as they could considering her condition when she saw Vegeta standing across the clearing. She was positively shocked to see him standing there. He had come for her after all.

"Get your filthy hands off my woman," he angrily ordered, his fists clenched tightly.

"As you wish."

With no effort at all, he flung the near lifeless Saiyan girl in Vegetas direction. Her body came to a halt as he wrapped his arms around her, catching her. Carefully he lowered her to the ground and knelt down beside her.

"She's only got a few moments left. You better say what you need to while you can." Aloysius turned to walk away before turning back to say one more thing. "Oh, and she's already lost it. So much for rebuilding the Saiyan race." With that, he turned and left.

Vegeta turned his eyes to Zephyra, confused. "Lost what? What is he talking about?"

Zephyra opened her eyes slowly, tears flowing freely. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Her voice was weak. Just speaking nearly took too much out of her.

Vegeta froze, his eyes as wide as an apple. After a moment, he finally spoke. "Why didn't you tell me?"

She gently closed her eyes as he held her in his arms. "I thought you'd be angry with me."

"You weren't going to come back..." he realized.

"No. At least... not... for a few years." Her energy was fading more and more by the second. She didn't have much time left and she knew it. "Vegeta?"

"Yes?"

"I wasn't strong enough... I should of... I should of listened... to you." Tears flowed freely down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry."

Vegeta tucked the hair away from her face before bringing his hand down and resting it over her stomach. His opposite arm was behind her back, holding her up. "It's not your fault."

She opened her eyes again and looked up at him. She could see the fire raging in his eyes for what Aloysius had done to her. "I thought I'd never see you again." She smiled weakly. "But you... you... came for me." Vegeta stayed silent. Still trying to absorb what he'd just found out. "Vegeta... Aloysius... He... he's not like the others. He..."

"I'll take care of it."

"There's so much I need to tell you..." Her eyes closed again, her energy fading faster now.

"You don't have to tell me anything."

"Vegeta... I... I..."

Vegeta silenced her with a kiss. Her lips were soft yet cold. Her body was weak. He slowly pulled his lips away from hers and opened his eyes. She smiled just a moment before her soft breathing stopped, followed by her heart beat. The rain stopped as her broken body went limp in his arms.

She was gone...

Vegetas anger surged as he held his lifeless lover in his arms. After a moment he tilted his head back. Looking to the sky, he opened his mouth and let out a scream filled with hatred and pure anger.

He slowly moved his eyes back to Zephyra. His right fist balled tightly over her stomach while the other balled behind her shoulder. He gently laid her body in the grass and flowers and rose to his feet. He looked down on her. She looked peaceful. Vegeta tightened his fists at his sides before turning and slowly walking away from her.

This would not go unpunished even if it meant his own life.

(A/N: I'm not sure how this chapter works. I would greatly appreciate some feedback. I'd like to know if I should change anything. This chapter was hard to write. I know Vegeta goes OOC but I very well couldn't have him calling her a moron while she's dying in his arms. I don't know. Let me know what you think.)
