Ai no Kakarotto

Ok this is an optional chapter to read. It will not affect the story in any way... but there is a bonus on the last part for those who do read it. It is a bit long because is the whole fic and some other unseen parts thus far from Vegeta’s POW. I had not intended to do this at all but I’ve gotten a few requests for it, so I thought I would be good to the few fans I have and comply. Finally I would like to dedicate this chapter to Phantomscribe72 for all her help with this fic. and to KitKat, whose last review made me make up my mind on the subject. I hope all of you who decide to read the chapter enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
For those who don’t want to see Vegeta’s insight, the next chapter will be out soon.

Feelings; Interlude to Escape

Why do I let such a creature get to me this way? Me, the most powerful being alive, the most ruthless, cruel… reduced to the capricious whim of a third class child! I ought to kill him and be done with this nonsense. I ought to torture him and make him beg me for my mercy, like I have begged him for the bits of pleasure and affection he provides. Why do I beg him...why do I care so much what he thinks of me, what he feels?

But as I sit here, hurt to the bottom of my cold black heart yet again by the rejection of the being I care about the most. I can’t help but feeling elated from what just happened. I look at my shoulder and touch the already healing mark. I can still feel his teeth in my flesh. I can still feel every stroke of that tongue as it lapped my blood away, as it consumed my very being into his own. I bring my fingertips to it and I close my eyes. I feel a rush of unknown emotions course all through my body. Emotions I have not known until He came into my life. I embrace these emotions, these feelings. I welcome them, even if he shuns me now, I belong to him just as he belongs to me, and there is nothing he can do about it, but to accept this fate he brought upon us both. I will give him time, all the time he needs until he can admit and embrace it...yes... you will admit it, you will embrace it, embrace me, and together we will live our lives as it is bound to be.

I lay on my bed...the bed he slept on so many nights, the bed he will occupy again with me soon… and I let his still lingering scent fill me. The fingers on the mark stroke it lightly, if I concentrate hard enough I can feel him, I can feel his conflict, his uncertainty....do not worry my young love, you will come to see as I have that we belong together, that we were born for each other.

I close my eyes and let my mind go back to that time, that time when I was alone and I thought my life had no meaning, no future, that I was nothing but a pawn born with the sole purpose of serving this decaying planet that worships a foolish legend and remains unchanged for the sake of it.


+++

Look at this pack of fools, how they gloat to themselves, how they boast about the magnificent power they do not posses, how they keep their glasses full and their light grasps on their ‘pets’ they keep out of fear alone.

Hmph...Legendary blast me to hell if I ever become a mere shadow of what this fools are, if I ever reduce myself to live my existence to ‘prove’ to others how great I am supposed to be.


“Vegeta, there’s the prime minister of the western lands with his daughter.hearhear Raditz murmur in my ear... hmph... the fool, always seeking my approval, always seeking to be close to me like a moth to the flame. The bastard doesn’t even have a will of his own anymore. I play him like one of those cheap instruments that hideous band in the background plays. His existence is even more meaningless than my own, so insignificant that I even feel sorry to do away with him. I am sure he realizes I do not need him anymore… that his strength... although vast does not compare with my own. his wit goes as far as his eye can see and his weak will bends to mine like a pet’s to his master’s.

I do not need him any longer. I haven’t for longer than I can remember... hmph... but what to do, I cannot take his reason for living away now can I?

“Hmph, why do you think I care?” I respond uninterested to his useless comment. I don’t even feel like looking at him half the time. Why doesn’t he go to fuck my father and let me be? He adds a few more useless tiresome suggestions, the ones he thinks I enjoy. Now days I enjoy nothing, nothing but the end of the day when I can surrender myself to the sweet oblivion of dreamless slumber.

“Let’s leave.” I say walking past him and to the door, he protests but follows nonetheless. I don’t care if he follows me; let him keep me company... where I’m going I will most likely need it. I made my way to the elevators eager to be outside these four walls.
I have been waiting for this day, to be an adult and do what I pleased when I pleased out out having to give any explanations to no one. The misconception of me being the prince and doing what I wanted always drove me mad. My father is such a controlling fool; it would feel elating to be able to send the old bastard to hell for a change. I madeway way to the streets with Raditz in tow, he complained like he always does but I have learned to shut him off.

I step out into the open air and let my lungs fill with it, I hardly get this luxury. Sometimes I curse this fate of mine, to be entombed in my own home, not allowed to do what others take for granted, such an insignificant thing, to go outside, to breathe the fresh air. Raditz keeps chattering nonstop and I like the fool keep answering his idiotic questions; I tried to shut him off while I relish on the night air but is proving to be a bit more difficult than usual. Then I feel it, a faint presence but unmistakably there. I let my eyes scope the area without alerting whoever dares to interrupt my plans to know its been discovered. Raditz incessant noise is threatening to drive me to the point of beating him senseless. As if on cue I hear a roar and a gush of air passes me and knocks the wind out of my ‘guard’ before it moves on to me.

“I’ m going to send you to hell!!!” I hear him yell and I catch a glimpse of ‘him’ as he lunges himself at me. The smell of decay and slums alone are enough to knock me down, as I get distracted with it he connects a fist to my side; the momentary shock I felt was soon replaced by an excitement I’ve never known before. I push him off me easily fixing my gaze on his form...a boy! My attacker, the one gutsy enough to go against the most powerful being alive was nothing but a mere boy...and what a beautiful boy he was. I let my eyes wonder over his form, and the sexual hunger I felt was something unknown to me. I wanted him, I wanted to touch him and be touched by him.

He gave me no more time to admire him, to ponder on this delicious sensations coursing through my being. Our fist clashed, our sweat mingled, his hard muscled flexed under my own powerful attacks, his hands on me and the raw power that emanated from him felt exhilarating. The hatred in his eyes the purse of his full lips stroking emotions in me I did not know I had. I felt myself smiling like an idiot but I didn’t care, I wanted this, I never wanted it to end.
I let him believe that he was doing well against me, anything to prolong the feeling of pure ecstasy this nameless boy was bringing me. My tail twitched and lashed with the excitement my whole body contained, every soft stroke of it with his beautiful hard body was enough to send me reeling to a downward spiral I would not want to return from.
I needed to end this. It all too soon became too much for my over exited senses to take...oh beautiful foolish one, you have no idea who you’re messing with...you just signed your life sentence by my side. I sent him to a far wall and walked to him slowly, like a predator to its prey.

I could feel his fear, his hatred; I fed on it like a nursing babe from its mother.
The satisfaction I felt I cannot hide...hmph, not that I wanted to. I stand in front of him, his scent threatening to send me to hell, to drop it all and have him here and now. But I know I must wait, to savor my prize to its fullest I must wait. I knocked him unconscious, and as I put my hands on his hard body I knew he must be mine.

“Hmph… and you wanted to stay up there.” I say happily to Raditz grabbing my prize and securely throwing him over my shoulder. He of course tried to stop me but I’d be dammed if I let him put a finger on what is mine. “He’s my prey,” I bared my teeth at the fool, then I smiled broadly letting him know just how much this episode had bothered me “I guess we didn’t have to go the slums after all, the slums came to us.” If the fool could cry I am sure he would have
... humph, that is what he gets for desiring what he can not attain.

I take the boy to my room; I needed to get the scent of decay and grime out of him. I took him to the baths and slowly commence to peel of the rags he wears; I feel Raditz eyes on me disapproving of what I’m doing.


“You’re dismissed.” I say balefully never taking my eyes of my prize. He started to protest but soon quieted down and obeyed when he saw the look I shot him. I took my time undressing him...how perfect he is, his every muscle, the smooth tanned skin, I turned him around and lo and behold I saw he’s got no tail.

“Hmph... third class heh! How did you get to be so perfect?” I mused out loud as I let my fingertips graze the spot where his tail would be were he not doomed to be less than dirt. He moans softly and I smiled once more doing it a little harder this time, he moans louder and his body shudders...yes beautiful one we will have lots of fun together. I hurry and I finish taking the rest of his coverings off. I take mine off as well and submerge us both on the big bath pool I’ve never occupied with anyone... but you are worthy to be the first.

I bathe him, taking my time in exploring his body, relishing on his perfection, careful not to awake him and have him run rampant and try to kill me in here. I bring him to my bed and put one of my robes on him. I dressed in one of my training suits and decided to let off some steam, some of this sexual tension I felt just to look at him. I went to the training grounds, but of course I could not concentrate on anything but the man on my bed. I went back to my rooms and sat on my chair to wait for the moment he wakes.
I looked at the planes of his face...beautiful, he seemed very young, younger than myself for sure, seventeen...eighteen at most. I hear him moan uneasyly, I see his eyes open and look around him. I felt butterflies in my stomach. How ridiculous I was being, but it couldn’t be helped, I wanted this boy more than I have ever wanted anything... and I shall have him, whether he wants it or not, but if he wanted it, it would make things easier for the both of us.

“Where the fuck am I?” He muted weakly... yes a boy, his voice not yet changed to that of a full grown man; I smirked, watching him inspect his surroundings in silence. Then he set his gaze on me, we locked eyes and stared at each other for a while... calm your Veg Vegeta... I warned myself as I felt the desire trying to consume me whole.

“I see you decided to wake up.” I tried to sound as cold as I always do but fail miserably, instead I sounded horny and needy.

“Where am I...What am I doing here?” His voice filled the room; I smirked again, deciding to play his game.

“Hmph, I suppose you know who I am,” I spoke softly, ignoring what he just said. “Other wise I don’t see why you’d try to kill me.”

“Yeah I know who you are Vegeta… Sama” His voice took a more threatening tone, as if he could do anything to me... he can, but not exactly what he wants to. I chuckled again noticing that every time I did this his brow furrowed in anger making him look all the more appealing

“Then I see no reason for you to demand anything,” I got up and slowly made my way to the bed, I could not take much more of this torturous wait, I needed to touch him just as badly as he wanted answers.

“What are you going to do to me?” His scared voice stroked those newly discovered places in my mind; I smirked as I crawled my way up on my own bed.

“I defeated you in fair combat,” I purred, my lips barely touching his, I fought with all the will I posses not to push him down and ravage him like I been picturing while I waited for him to wake up. “I can do with you whatever I want,” I let my lips graze his jaw, his scent reached me and I almost gave in to it...patience...I warned myself, “Not that I need any permission,” I let my tongue taste him, I was almost at my limit of endurance, I could smell my own arousal...mingled wits...s...I smirked evilly, so little one wants this hated and disgusting prince? “But I am a man of honor, thus I will give you a choice.” I couldn’t take it anymore, I did push him on the bed, I brought my leg up between his own and rubbed his hard sex with my knee, he tried to protest, but that was all I needed to finally invade him, I brought my lips to lock to his own I kissed him savagely...legendary in heaven... how I wanted this, how I craved for it like nothing else. I ran my tongue over his lips begging to be allowed entrance; I ran my hand up his leg and to his hard erection...he was ready for me, and I for him. I tasted his young skin and almost hissed out loud at the feel of it. I felt him falter and bring his hands to my chest...do not push me, I silently begged but as I told this to myself I was already on the hard floor.

I looked at him in the eye...I have killed others for much less, but this boy with the deep black eyes and the defiant countenance just made me want him all the more. I got to my feet and laugh loudly, making him red with rage.

“You will remain here as my pet and do whatever I wish until you can defeat me in combat, or I will kill you right now, very, very painfully for trying to assassinate me. The choice is yours third class,” I finally said finishing what I started to say... hmph I had no intention in never letting him go, but it seemed only fair to give him a false hope. I was on him in an instant; I let my lips touch his “Baka.” I whispered against them. I kissed him and this time he kissed back, he tasted better than I had imagined... yes... so this is what I been missing, this is why men commit unspeakable horrors for those they desire. I understood now as our tongues wrestled with one another for dominance. I will never tire of this, of him. He broke the kiss and our eyes locked.

“What will you do when I win?” I thought about it, it stroked me as funny that he actually thought he could ever win; I laughed like a child... how more interesting could this heaven’s sent one get?

“What’s so funny?” he snapped. I loved this half felt anger of his, keep it up little one the more you deny me the more I will want you and enjoy you when you let me in.

“If you do win… which I doubt, I don’t think you’ll have to worry about me, I most likely be dead, but if I’m not I will let you go. In fact, I will let you go a wealthy man.” He laughed bitterly at my empty promise.

“You will not break your promise?” he asked skeptically and I felt the need to get serious.

“Like I said I am a man of honor.” I stated.

“Fine, but I plan in defeating you very soon.” He said with a conviction that astounded me, I didn’t comment on this.

“Stand against that wall.” I said instead I could not wait any longer. He shot me a look that could scare a lesser man but he obeyed. “Now… let’s take a look at this body of yours.” I purred coming to him, “How can a filthy third class be so… so beautiful.” I whispered as my lips grazed his throat, as my hand wandered over his hard thigh. He looked the other way, ashamed perhaps, but I paid no mind to this, I was too occupied with the task at hand, “How old are you?” I purred after a while, his hard breathing in my ear was making my dizzy.

“Seventeen.” He said barely making a sound, almost out of breath.

“So young… so intoxicating. I will enjoy you so much” I purred as out of breath as he I s I sucked at his nipple biting into it, letting the blood run down his body and lapping it away.... father if you could only see me now, reducing myself to taste third class blood. I can now understand your infatuation with Raditz, what before seemed to me to be weakness, now made perfect sense.

“I’m not some toy you can do whatever you want with.” Oh but you are...

“I do not require your permission to touch you… you are mine.” I bit the other nipple and did the sam wit with its twin. I ran my lips up to his ear, biting his earlobe, my hand touching wherever it could reach. I grabbed his hard sex and stoked it fast, his soft moans fueling my passion tenfold.

“What are you doing?” I heard him ask, barely able to contain his own desire, “at least take off your gloves, you’re hurting me.” I chuckled from where I was happily sucking his other lobe away.

“I really don’t care… I’m not puttmy hmy hands on your filthy skin.” I nipped my way down his neck, drawing blood every so often and lapping it clean.

“I’m worthy of your mouth, but not your hands?” he let out angrily... how many more nights of fun will you bring me... how much will you defy me, making my fall deeper and deeper in this desire to posses your soul?

“Get on your knees,” I snapped, getting tired of this, I wanted more... I needed more than these innocent touches. He looked at me with a hateo noo not comprehend, isn’t he enjoying this as well? No matter I will have plenty of time to make you see it my way. I tripped his foot making him fall on his knees, “What you are worthy of is my decision and my decision alone,” I said with the same hate...only it was not hate. I leaned down and whispered against his lips. “Suck me”

“What?” I couee tee the shock on his face. I rubbed his face against my hard sex just to let him know I was not about to fight about this. He stared at me but then pulled my pants down and licked the tip of my all too ready shaft. What I felt could be described as nothing as pure bliss, the high of a drug rush threatening to swallow the whole of me. He withdrew, I would have none of it, I pushed his face on me again, feeling that rush every time his face rose against it. He took me whole in his mouth and pre previous sensation just magnified tenfold, I hissed throwing my head back, my mouth agape. Up and down his mouth stroked me, hard and fast at times it even hurt, but oh what a delicious pain it was. I will never ever let him go. To be able to make me feel what I have never felt… to make me do what I have never feel compelled to. I was babbling incoherently, screaming like a child, the mere vision of him stroking himself while giving me this trip to heaven proved too much to take. I roared and spilt my seed on his mouth, my legs gave way under me and I fell, holding onto him, not ever wanting him to go.

Then fucking Raditz came in the room and broke havoc, I would have killed him have I not been this light-headed. I got up as soon as my legs could support me and went to the other side of the room. My moment lost.

“I’m fine,” I said to him... couldn’t the fucking moron see that? Then I turned to my toy, “You get dressed. Raditz, take him with the rest of the pets, he is not to be touched… understood?” I went to the bar and poured myself a strong drink, the lightheadedness gone, my reason returning, I had a lot to reflect and a decision to make. I could not have third classes with this kind of control over me. I felt them leave the room, I looked out the window, seeking guidance from above...what should I do? I can’t keep him, but I can’t kill him either. I know I should, my better judgment screamed e toe to do but but his eyes...his face in anger and in pleasure...his mouth on mine...argh! I can’t... I went to my meditating room and let myself being lifted into the sweet oblivion of deep meditation...tomorrow will be another day. My new pet might prove to be a worthless third class after all and tonight nothing but an illusion created by my lonely mind, by my desire to want and be wanted.

Let’s just hope it is so, for my sake... I hope it is so.


+++

Sleep didn’t come that night I kept tossing and turning, his scent still remained in the room making matters worst. My meditating had not gone so well either. I needed to come to terms with the fact that I was acting like a spoiled brat, that I couldn’t keep the boy around, and then I would tell myself that he is only a pet, that every one has them that why should I be any different. But after having the small taste of what this boy has to offer I cannot go back to having Raditz ‘entertain’ me the way he’s always done in the past…nor can I allow him to touch the boy… just thinking about that makes me want to kill something. What the hell am I supposed to do? I can’t keep him; I can’t get rid of him.... I don’t want to get rid of him.

I closed my eyes and was diatdiately plagued by visions of his bobbing head as it pleasured me, of his unruly spikes as I fisted them in my hands. I tossed and turn finally falling asleep, but it was not my usual dreamless slumber.

I got up earlier than usual, bathed and sat on my chair to ponder some more about what to do with this man-child I could not get out of my head. Sometime later Raditz came into the room and blabbered about training... hn… who the hell would think of training when I had this life changing decision to make? Well let’s take it one day at a time I finally said to myself and looked up fixing my gaze on my guard.

“Get two females from my harem and have someone bring the third class.” I commanded, his face turned into something to laugh about, but I kept my cold façade. A moment later he came in with two very young ones... yes, just the way I like them… to see these children suffer, twisting their features in pain and helplessness, like I felt helpless, was something I lived for. I will test the boy, and also myself. If I can sit here and watch him torture these women like I do with Raditz, if I can keep my cool and not see the man I saw last night andmy dmy dreams and fantasies as nothing but the filthy worthless third class that he was, I can rest assure that I will be able to do away with him whenever I want.

“Raditz,” I turned to the fool after I inspected the merchandise, “Leave for your training, I’ll catch up with you soon.” He gave me one of those looks I so hate, like I owe him any explanations, why don’t I fucking kill him? Hn I guess if I did that I would have a much more annoying bastard to deal with,

“Then I shall wait for you here.” He proclaimed firmly, I could care less what he does, but I will not have him interrupt my test.

“Do what you will… wait outside then.” He retreated at last and I was left alone with the trembling young ones.

“You two go into the other room, wait there until I tell you,” How fearful they were... do not worry worthless ones I would not lay a hand on you even if my life depended on it... but pray, my beautiful one is not as sadistic as my guard. I smirked maliciously at them as they passed. I felt their fear take a higher note. I sat there restless, what was taking so long? I could hardly contain the anticipation I felt... Kuso is not supposed to be like this, I am to be the same cruel and cold bastard I always am, not some kid waiting eagerly for his first time to kill. The door opened and the reason I feel likis wis was brought into the room. I had prepared myself the whole night, telling myself that he was nothing but a third class and that last night had been nothing more than my drunken state that made me act the way I did. But as he made his way in the room...Gods I knew I was lost to him... he looked even better than the night before, his masculine scent invaded my senses as soon as he entered. I wanted nothing more than throw myself at his feet and purr like a pet for his attention. We locked eyes and I could see all the hate he proclaimed last night anew... that’s right young god hate me, detest me, loath me but keep bringing this intoxicating sensations that I so need.

“I realize I left you in a bad situation last night,” I stated trying my best to ignore his stare. “I am going to remedy that now.” I clicked my fingers and the two females came out from the other room, his eyes traveled over their forms making me green with jealousy. Hn, so much for my test, I will have the two killed as soon as this is over
“Take you pleasure on this two, do whatever you wish, you two are not to touch him,” I snapped already mad at myself for this not so brilliant idea... too late to turn back now. He shot me a defiant hateful stare, full of malice. How are you supposed to make me hate you? All you’re doing now with that obstinacy of yours is make me want you all the more

“I will not do it,” He dared say with the same defiance I have come to expect from him.
Sitting on my bed fixing me one of those stares of his... how predictable he was. I was hardly able to contain a smirk. “I am your pet… for the moment; you needn’t worry about my needs Ouji-sama.” I could feel his arousal... why do you fight it little one, you want me as bad as I want you... you just don’t know it yet. Never in my years I’ve encountered someone who defy me like this, his insolence aroused me all the more, his will contested only that of my father, the only other being to speak to me this way. I laughed loudly at his audacity.

“You don’t get it at all do you?” I did chuckle this time. I got up and made my way slowly to him. I could feel his eyes on me; traveling all over my body, his desire very evident through the thin garment he wore. I stood in front of him and lower myself so that I could whisper in his ear.

“Baka.” I loved the way he hate me... such passion, passion that I will posses one day. “I could care less about your needs; you do not have a choice on this.” I flicked my tongue tasting him, and went back to my seat hardening my stare. “Do it.” I commanded firmly.

The look of pure hate he gave me made me flinch for a moment, it actually pained me the way he looked at me, but still I have to teach him who is the master and who is the pet. He walked to one of the females, she was visibly shaking, I smirked delighted...what will you do young one...what will you do?

He one one hand on her shoulder and the other on the small of her back bringing her close, whisperiometomething in her ear. I would have killed to know what it was. The female relaxed and he began kissing his way down her throat pulling her robe off and letting it fall on the floor to reveal her young curves. His hands ran from her shoulder to her bust, staying there, playing with them. The female closed her eyes all fear gone and replaced by contentment she gave away by her purr. I felt a jealousy I have never experience before, what we had the night before had not been this tender, passionate yes... animalistic to say the least, but not like this. I felt hate for her, I wanted her dead. Then he brought his mouth to her small breasts. I could have killed her, but I stayed put willing myself not to lose it. That was the whole point of this; to see just how much this young god affected me... it was proving to be more than I wanted to accept. His hands kept on exploring her while he kissed and sucked her breast. She threw her head back and let out a moan. I hissed out loud, but still did not move to pry her away from my boy.
If he heard me or even cared he did not show it. His indifference to my presence added more wood to the fire raging inside me. He brought her to the bed... my bed... and let her fall on it gently, supporting himself above her shuddering body.

He kissed her and caressed her whole body. I could feel my rage building to new heights by the second, but I couldn’t take my eyes off his face. I found it enraging and fascinating at the same time, how his body reacted to her moaning and thrashing, how his soft purr echoed through the room. His flicking tongue on her skin, soon I found myself purring as well, enthralled by his every action. He made his way down kissing and sucking... slowly, so slowly, taking his time tasting her and making me green with envy and anger, but enthralling me all the more. Then... he couldn’t... he did, he began ravaging her core greedily with no abandon, seemingly forgetting that I was there watching. The woman’s moans became screams of pure joy. In and out of her he flicked his tongue, his fingers playing with her core as well his other hand still roaming on her skin. I choked back a moan, I felt my own skin hot all over, wanting to be touched... I wanted to be there... to be her!

“Fuck her.” I managed somehow to rasp. He looked at me, arousal very obvious on his previously angry face.

“You told me to take my pleasure… I don’t feel like doing that just yet,” Barely able to contain his arousal. The jealousy I felt before was nothing compared to what I felt now. I fought for control, for the will to remain sitting here like a stone. I will not show him how affected I was. I will not give him that sense of power over me... But Gods how it killed me.

“Raditz,” I mentally called my loyal one, hoping he was outside like he said he would. Of course he proved true to himself once more and came in a second later ready to murder for me.

“Show this ignorant how to ‘pleasure’ a woman.” I thought he would refuse to obey me for the fist time. If looks could kill I would be literally cold on the ground. I prayed this was not the time he decided to be difficult; I didn’t need that right now. Finally after a long awkward moment he moved past me and went to stand behind the other female... damn! He should have grabbed that whore under my beautiful one... Hn, I couldn’t blame him for not doing so.

I never took my eyes of my young pet; he was clearly disgusted by Raditz actions, the whore with him started crying and held on to him like an anchor… that was all I needed. As Raditz roared his climax I laterally flew to her and snatched away from my boy.

“I told you not to touch him,” I screeched to her face. “I think you need a lesson on oenceence.” I’ve never wanted to hurt someone as badly as I did now. I let my ki glow, letting her feel its heat. She began praying to all the gods for her life...wrong move bitch...you should be praying to me, to bring you a quick and painless death. I smirked sadistically and came close to her ear.

“If you stop crying I will kill you quickly... otherwise I will send you to the torture room, I am sure the boys down there can find interesting ways to make you cry even louder.” She became quite in an instant resigned to the fate life gave her, to die here by my hand. It didn’t bother me anymore that I would not make her suffer; just the knowledge that she would not exist anymore satisfied me... no point in wasting energy on a simple slave. I released the ki and in that same instant she was pushed to the floor and the boy came to stand in front of me. I opened my eyes wide with disbelief... NO... I screamed inwardly as I saw the sadist suicidal smirk he gave me.

It was too late the fatal blast hit him square on the chest, sending him back. He dropped like dead weight on the floor, blood pooling fast around him. A thousand sensations coursed through me as I stood there looking at the crimson blood, blood I’ve tasted and wanted to taste again. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t speak...Legendary in heaven what have I done? I killed him. The thing I wanted to posses the most lay dead on the floor by my hand.

A hand on my shoulder snapped me a fro from the nightmare I was having.

“Vegeta...” a voice said. I fell on my knees by him, praying the whole while for some divine miracle...please don’t be dead....please don’t be dead....You can’t there’s so much we didn’t do, so much we didn’t share... you didn’t defeat me. I felt for his heart and I thanked all the gods I didn’t believe in for the weak beat I heard.

“Don’t you dare leave me yet… you haven’t defeated me…” I whispered against his lips, his body felt so cold. I shot the woman crying on the floor a look that promised all the pain I could possibly inflict on her...but not now, now I needed to secure my beloved’s survival.

“Raditz get my doctor fast.” I snapped at my guard, the moron was just standing there while the boy lay on the floor on a pool of his own blood. He left and I stayed with him soothing him lifting him carefully trying to apply pressure on the wound careful not to move him too much.

“You,” I snapped at the female, “get something so I can hold the bleeding!” she got up quickly and brought a sheet, I placed it on his back, but the blood stained it fast...he was bleeding to much... fuck Raditz hurry... then she went in the bathroom and brought some hot water.

“If you allow me your highness,” her soft voice had all the conviction that she could help. “If you could move him to the bed and lay him on his stomach, I think the wound is on his back.”

“I noticed.” I said sourlyd bed be damned but I did what I was told, for the very first time I obeyed another. How ironic that it was another was a slave. Skillfully she brought few towels, wet them in the hot liquid and put them on his back, applying pressure to hold the bleeding. There was so much blood that it almost made me sick, it would have had I not been this worried.

“Will he be alright?” I asked, fearing the answer.

“I do not know Ouji-sama, he lost lots of blood.” She did not leave her eyes from the injured one.

“If he dies... so will you.” I stated.

“I know... I won’t let him die Ouji-sama, not for fear of death, but because I like him.” Her words should have bothered me, the audacity in which she spoke to me should be punished, but somehow it made me feel better to know this woman cared enough to try her best... for the boy I love, for me... for the both of us. Because after this, even if I never say it to no one, if I never admit it to anyone I knew I love him.

Finally Raditz comes back with my doctor. I sensed the man’s agitated ki before I actually saw him.

“Vegeta-sama!” He made his way into the room fixing me a worried glance over. “What is the matter Raditz said there was someone wounded in your quarters I assumed it was you...” he then shifted his gaze to my bed, then to the slave female still bent over the boy containing the boy’s bleeding.

“Treat him.” I said not wanting to waste any time explaining the situation... how can I express enough the fact that the pet needed to be treated and needed t be treated yesterday.

“Vegeta...” the doctor started, but before he could get far with his complaining I grabbed him by the throat and flew with him to smash his back against the wall.

“I will not say it again... Treat him, and if you know what’s good for you he better not die.” I let him drop and went back by his side. Coughing and choking my childhood doctor made his way to the bed and signaled for the female to move out of the way. Raditz stood glaring in the corner; I walked toward him and stood by his side arms crossed looking to what was being done to the boy.

“You will be punished,” I stated without looking at him, “You might be older but you are far from wiser, this little stunt of your might have cost him his life had the woman not been here.”

“And what stunt might that be?” I could sense his apprehension, I could read him like a book... Hn taking long on purpose was not a very wise thing to do, not if he wanted to get in my pants... not that he ever will. I did not say anything else; let him ponder his foolish jealous actions. I had far more important thing to worry about than a pretentious nanny.
I watched closehilehile my young one was being treated, the female kept on assisting the doctor even without being told. Even if I hated her for it she was doing an exceptional job... although this was all her fault to begin with....

Talis was finally done; he injected something to the boy and made his way to me.

“He’s lucky to be alive,” he stated testing my temper.

“I know.” I responded dryly, “Will he be alright?”

“He is stable now, he did loose a lot of blood from the looks of things. I wouldn’t put him in a tank given that he’s a third class, I injected some low dose antibodies, tomorrow I will infuse blood in him... it is risky I know but without it I do not know whether he’ll recover.” I listened to every word he said, analyzing my options. Third class could not survive the tank which would have cured him in a matter of hours; they were made using elite DNA and cellular make up. My own tank was made with my own which was countless times more powerful that Raditz’ who was the strongest elite. Blood transfusion: we did not keep third blood lying around... fuck! We trie kil kill the vermin with as little mess as possible... even the weakest elite’s blood would put him in danger.

“What blood are you planning on using?” I asked without taking my eyes off the one lying on the bed.

“I thought I could hunt a third class down and extract it... Vegeta you do realize what you’re putting me through don’t you?”

“And if you want to keep your skin intact you will shut up about it.” I shifted my eyes to him.

“I don’t buy your threats... you will explain this to me or I will tell you father you’re keeping a third class on your quarters.” I lost it! He had the fucking audacity to threaten me! I beat him until he was barely able to stand. “You will tell no one... but if you must know,” I said as an afterthought loud enough for only him to hear, “He knows valuable information, this... this a torture session gone wrong.” Granted if I did kill Talis, I would have a lot of explaining to do to my father, but I couldn’t allow him to speak to me in such manner. Only because he had tended to me since birth did not give him any rights. He stared at me skeptically but nodded.

“You, get the doctor’s things.” I snapped at the female and I turned to the weak body lying on the bed dismissing him.

“For the respect I have for you I did this, but I will not again... next time send him to the basement if you want to get ‘information’ from him.” He left and I was left to ponder on my actions. I actually lied in order to protect this boy, this boy that had yet to show me any gratitude for what I was doing.

“Raditz... you may go for your training, I will not be joining you today.” I stroked my pet’s messy bloodied hair.

“But Vegeta...”

“I said go… or you want to get wiped like Talis?” I asked not expecting an answer, but to be obeyed. I wanted him gone; I wanted the woman gone as well.

“And you clean this mess up and get out.!” She obeyed silently. Raditz still stood there in disbelief. I shot him a look that told him I will not be disobeyed and he left without another word. “Be back tomorrow first thing to check on his bandages.” I said to the slave once she was done she nodded and left as well. I sat on my chair looking at him, for a long time I did nothing but explore the planes of his stressed face. I came to the bad and leaned next to him, I let my fingertips play with his features, tracing lines along his jaw and perfect nose, the with my thumb I soothed away the scrawl he had even in his unconscious state.

“What I am I going to do now?” I asked him out loud as if he could answer. “Where are you going to take me...how far will you push me?” I brought my lips to his and kissed them tenderly, then his nose, eyes, forehead, jaw line. I lay my hand on his chest and let my warm ki engulf him, his face softening as he reacted to it. I lay next to him and I slept, his masculine scent mingled with his blood was a sweet aroma stimulating my exhausted brain.

I awoke to find Raditz standing by the foot of he bed waiting. This is something he always did but today it bothered me to no end.

“What are you doing here?” I asked sitting awkwardly noticing that it was still light outside.

“I came to get you for your training.” He replied coldly.

“Training?” I was still dizzy, but I felt very rested if that made any sense. “I haven’t called for you, I told you I would not be training today.” I said remembering my last words to him.

“That was yesterday Vegeta.”

“Did I sleep that long?” I muted to myself letting my eyes fall on the young one inspecting his face for any sings of distress. I touched his forehead and relaxed as I saw he had no threatening temperature. I could feel Raditz disgusted gaze on me.

“You my go, have my food brought here.” I got up to go to the baths but was halted by Raditz hand on my shoulder.

“Vegeta..n’t n’t you see what you’re doing... is that... he so important as to forsake you training... as to risk your father’s anger for?”

“Raditz... let go of me,” I settled my eyes on the hand, he hesitated and let go, I said nothing more and made my way to the baths. When I came out he was gone and my food had been brought for me. I ate and reassumed my place on the chair by the bed. I meditated checked on his temperature once in a while and such.

That female pet had come sometime during the morning, changed his bandages and injected some pain killers Talis had given her and left as silently as she had arrived.
Hn… to be such a young slave she most definitely knew a lot.

***

“What are you doing?!” I asked exasperated when I saw her injecting something on his flank.

“A sedative Ouji-sama.” She had said calmly, this pesky creature was not afraid of me at all, “Doctor Talis-sama gave it to me after we left, he told me he would not be back to inject any blood on him. He thinks the ‘third class pet’ will be fine; since your blast did not kill him he said this man must be strong.”

“Hn.” I crossed my arms staring at what she was doing, “So he’s not coming back heh?!” I couldn’t blame him, but it enraged me to be disobeyed... I guessed it would be alright just as long as he kept his mouth shut. I will pay him a visit later on just to remain him how serious I am on the matter. “What is your interest on him?” I asked the more important question.

“I owe him my life Ouji-sama.” She responded lowly.

“You owe him nothing yet.” I stood and walked to her; I grabbed her hair and pulled it back to make her meet my eyes.

“I would kill you, but then his foolish sacrifice would have been for nothing... but believe me I will find a way to make you pay.” My mouth was so close to hers that I could feel her breathing, funny how I never put my hands on slaves and pets before unless I was torturing them or was about to kill them, but since my boy came I’m finding myself doing the most unlikely things. I let her go and returned to my sit, she kept on working on the still unconscious boy.

“What are you doing now?” I snapped.

“I injected the sedative so that I could change the bandages without causing him any pain Ouji-sama” I came over and lifted him bringing him to a sitting position, she did not tell me to, but it seemed the obvious thing to do. She began unwrapping the lightly bloodied bandages.

“How do you know all this?” I asked suspiciously.

“I read it Ouji–sama... besides I am the one who treat the women in the keep.”

“How old are you?” I asked curiously; imagine that, I was curious about a slave pet... then again...

“Twenty two Ouji sama.” She responded. I was sort of surprised. She looked much younger I would have thought fifteen or so, and it turned that she was older than me.

“Hn, so you are more than likely the oldest in the harem little one.” It felt odd to call her that.

“I was never asked my age, but yes I am the oldest I kept quite when I realized the older ones were removed from the keep...can you blame me Ouji sama?” Hn, there was something about this woman that made me admire her somewhat. I made up my mind.

“I will forgive your life for as long as he needs you, but watch it, he is mine and you are nothing more than a mindless pet that does what it’s told. If your gratitude oversteps its boundaries I will personally make you pay
“
“Yes Ouji-sama I am eternally grateful for your kindness.” She bowed her head.

“Cut the crap! You want me as dead as I want you, only I can have my wish come true and you don’t. I recommend you don’t stop being useful to me... or to him if you want to continue breathing.”


***

I smiled at the memory of that amusing morning encounter. I sat by him on the bed letting my lungs fill with his scent... “What are you doing to me?” I mussed aloud...
“You are turning me into a mindless third class whipped fool.” I smirked and kissed his forehead laying next to him and falling asleep.

+

“Vegeta-sama!” A light shake awoke me. I opened my eyes to see Raditz standing over me.

“What?” I sat up on the bed; it was morning which meant I had another soundless sleep night.

“I came to get you for your training.” Raditz continued, the fool was getting to the top of my patience jar... couldn’t the fool tell that I will not leave this room until the boy comes around?

“I will call on you when I need you.” I said coldly hoping that was answer enough for his tense head to understand.

“But Vegeta everyone is wondering what’s the matter with you, I don’t even know what to tell them anymore.” He reasoned, I never thought about it that way, I never ever missed training before; it would be natural that the others would wonder.

“What are you telling them?”

“Nothing just that we are training alone and that you are meditating, but those excuses won’t hold out for long. If the rumors reach your father you know I cannot lie to him.”
He finished emphasizing the last part... Hn I know the fool can’t lie to my old man, he can’t even lie to me and we’re not fucking each other. “Vegeta you can’t stay here for ever, he will be fine... isn’t that slave caring for him?’ I shot him a look... did anything ever escape him?

“I will do what I want when I want; I don’t need you or anybody to dictate what I should do.”

“I am only saying this because I care, if the pet is discovered by your father, he will not be allowed to live no matter how much you protest.” He was right, I hated to admit it but he was right. Third classes were not suitable pets; in fact they were to be killed on sight. I let my gaze fall on the sleeping boy and tried not to imagine his body broken by my father’s men.

“Fine,” I sighted defeat it. “I will join you today, a few hours away will not make a difference... get the slave to come and stay with him.” I snapped getting up but being stopped by something. I turned to look, to find my tail securely wrapped around his waist, I smirked at the sight... Hn the appendage was admitting what I was not, at least not to others. Reluctantly I unwound it and wrapped it back to my own torso. I got up meeting Raditz horrified face.

“Wait for me outside... no... get the woman. I will meet you at the general training arena.” And I went to the bath.

+

We fought and trained for hours. It felt good to move again. I was still very wed aed and tried every so often to feel if the boy’s energy changed at all, but soon forgot and wrapped myself completely to the physical pleasure of combat. One after another I beat to the ground everyone fool enough to challenge me. Not after long there was no one standing but Raditz, we fought viciously… each of us letting go of our frustration and anger in a bloody, brutal dance of wills. He surprised me with the intensity of his blows. His emotions were getting the better of him. I matched him blow for blow… feeling my own simmering fury rising from the pit of my stomach.

I suddenly felt a surge on the boy’s ki, a radical surge from the weak steady flow it had been before. I let Raditz go from the head lock I had him in and ran as fast as I could to my room. I heard my guard call and make his way after me. I ignored this… all I could focus on was the panic and fear that was building inside me. I came into my room expecting to find him... I didn’t even know what I would find.

“Wait here Raditz!” I commanded my guard and made my way into the room. Empty...
The room was empty, the boy was no where to be found. I came out screaming like a mad man. Even remembering it now shames me.

“Where is he?!” I yelled...” where the fuck is he!?” I pushed Raditz aside and ran aimlessly corridor after corridor, I felt Raditz follow close behind.

“Raditz… you’re no help!!” I yelled desperately, my heart was beating so fast, my blood rang in my ears... I stopped and tried to contain this fear that was consuming my soul and tried to pinpoint his weakening ki.

“Over there!!” I didn’t even know how I got to the place I sensed him so fast. What I saw will stay in my mind for a long time. Two elites were throwing MY pet from one to the other as if he were nothing more than some used toy. The rage I felt made the room literally shake, I dashed to the one holding my boy. At this point the guard had fixed his eyes on me.

“...Ouji-sama...” I knocked the air out of him and he let my young one drop. I caught him and carefully I took him a few feet away and gently let him on the floor, his eyes were already rimmed black... there was so much blood I felt like crying. I kissed his lips and he gave me a warm weak smile, I smiled back whispering to him.

“Baka…” then he fainted. I set him down gently and turned my dark gaze to the panic stricken guards. I lunged at them before they could even open their mouths to explain. I beat them within an inch of their lives, I’ll let her down at the basement teach them a lesson.
I walked to the boy; Raditz was feeling for his pulse.

“How is he?” I asked worriedly crouching next to him and feeling the boy’s weak breath, “thank the Gods, he’s barely alive.” I breathed and took him in my arms carefully not to aggravate his opened wound...is all my fault.

I brought him back to the room and put him on the bed, his smile was still on playing in the back of my mind... do you have to be near death to acknowledge me little one?

“Raditz… get the doctor.” I said knowing he was there, then I turned to him and commanded. “Make sure those two pay a visit to Celpia”

“But Vegeta sama, remember what he said last time… he would not lay a hand on the third class again,”

“I didn’t asked you what he said, I told you to go get him.” I spoke with a tone that told him what would happen if he questioned again. He finally nodded and left. I sat on the chair never taking my eyes off the boy... there was nothing I could do but wait.
I felt him stir and groaned weakly.

“Where am I?” I let out the air I was holding, he was already conscious which meant it had not been as bad as I feared.

“Don’t force yourself,” I said lowly, my worry was gone and replaced by anger, “the doctor should be here soon.” I watched his face, mesmerized like always by his beauty, but hurt at the same time that he had tried to get away from me. I went to him and pulled him to my face by the throat, I wanted to hurt him for scaring me like that, I wanted to kiss him for being awake and safe, but I did neither. I searched his face taking in his scent, letting it calm me down “Don’t you ever pull a stun like that again,” I breathed him again fighting the urge to lock my lips to his. “You don’t die until I say so.” Then I let him go and went back to my chair. A moment later Raditz came in with Talis.

“Ouji sama,” The Older man bowed, “Raditz tells me the patient has suffered another… misfortune.” he said tonelessly

“Don’t ask questions… just tent to him,” I responded not looking at the boy, I was mad enough as it was. I got up moving to the door. “Raditz… watch him,” I nodded to the boy, “make sure he doesn’t leave, tie him if you have to, I don’t care what you do.” I opened the door. “I’m going to train... just don’t hurt him too much.” and I left them to care for him.

I went to the meditating room. Still not able to fathom the fact that I had panicked... no not panicked I had been truly terrified for the fate of the lesser being. A lesser being that ate at my soul, who ruled my every waking moment from the day he came into my life. I had to control myself. I could not let this infatuation threaten my reason. And why was I so infatuated, why was I so determined to make this child mine? I had lied for him, I had killed for him and even as I thought these things I knew I would do it again.

After hours of this mental torture I still came out blank, I still did not have answers, just the knowledge that I wanted this man to belong to me more than anything. I realized I had never wanted anything, but I wanted him, I wanted him to want me like I wanted him.
I went back to my room physically exhausted from the stress I put my mind through and hoped he was fine.

I came in to find him in a staring match with Raditz… this made me smile; I sensed jealousy coming from him which satisfied me more than I wanted to admit.

“I see you’re well,” I said softly.

“Better… not well.” Even as weak as he was he still had that defiance I’ve come to love. I looked at him trying to convince myself not to do it, not to do what I have toyed with the whole time I was meditating, but there was no other way. I needed to be sure this will not happen again... and I needed to put claim to on him for all to see who he belonged to... even if doing so could put me in danger of being disowned. I went to the drawer where I kept it and removed it from its casing... how ugly and unnecessarily heavy the thing was. Raditz noticed what I planned to do and stood between me and my claim. I shoved him aside effortlessly without looking away from the one on my bed. I sat next to him, I could see his puzzlement.

“Close your eyes,” I ordered, he reluctantly did. I lifted my hand and let my ki heat the ring, I could hear Raditz growl of disapproval... Hn, I disapproved as well but unfortunately my will was no longer mine to command. Once the ring was ready I pressed it to his tight without another thought. He screamed opening his eyes, then looked at my hand and then at his leg, his eyes grew wide from shock, then turned to anger but I held him tight nonetheless.

“You’re mine,” I whispered, “Now you’re mine.”
