| Buruma stood before Furiza, and she was positive she was about to faint from sheer fear. The lizard was walking around her, eyeing her like she was a piece of meat. She shuddered as he moved to stand in front of her. Suddenly the creature leaned towards her and smelled her. Smelled her! She leaned away in terror; actually ashamed her tongue failed her now. She couldn't even get a small spark of anger right then. And the monster wasn't even that fearsome looking, but the vibes he gave off was more than enough to make her shake. Then Furiza laughed. Laughed almost hysterically. Buruma blinked. 'What the hell? The lizard was crazy!' "Oh, dear," the creature gasped, holding his stomach as he continued to laugh. Buruma frowned. 'What the hell is so funny?' "What's so funny, Master Furiza?" Zarbon asked just as confused as she was. "Zarbon, you fool, I cannot believe you can't smell it," Furiza said, still chuckling. "She's untouched! Our favorite monkey wasn't fucking her after all!" He then cracked up again, actually rolling around on the ground. "That's the best joke yet! Oh, dear. I've got to hand it to Vejiita. He sure had us fooled. She isn't his mistress! Not yet, anyway." Furiza attempted to rein his mirth in. "Oh, that's just too good!" Zarbon continued to watch Furiza with a slight frown on his face. "Why would he have her captured if he wasn't fucking her?" "I have no idea, let's ask the blue-haired angel, hmmm?" Furiza turned to her, a small smirk playing on his massively feminine lips. "Well, little one? Why did Vejiita have you captured?" "I am to be his mistress." Furiza's eyebrow rose. "Really? Then why are you untouched still?" Buruma shrugged. "I don't know." "You were sleeping with him, I saw you there. Why sleep with you if he wasn't mating you?" "I don't know." Furiza smirked. "You've got guts. Lying to me like that. I think you do know." She shook her head. "No, I don't know why he hasn't." "Did he care for you? Is that why he was sleeping with you? Only sleeping?" Buruma forced herself to chuckle weakly. "No, he didn't care for me at all. He almost killed me on one occasion, actually. Nearly strangled me to death, actually." That was the truth at least. Furiza's eyebrow rose again. "Really? Truly? Then why didn't he want to give you up?" She shrugged. "I don't know. Possibly because I was to be his mistress and he had yet to have me. That's why he didn't kill me that time. Because he still hasn't had me." "I see. Why not just take you? You're weak, pathetically so. Why not just rape you? Especially when you say he didn't care for you." "He said something about wanting a willing mistress, not a forced one." "I see. Interesting," Furiza said thoughtfully. "Well, lucky for you, I believe you. After all, I heard what happened on your planet. About your friends and family being killed. You wouldn't be so happy to be with those monkeys who had destroyed your friends, now would you? No, didn't think so. So, you have every reason to be telling the truth," he babbled on. "Well, now. This leaves us in a bit of a dilemma. See, our reason for taking you was to take something he cared for. Well, since you say he doesn't care for you, it wouldn't matter if Zarbon took you or not. It wouldn't affect our princeling in the least. Of course, since Zarbon failed, I don't want to reward him with you for no reason at all." Furiza paused and then chuckled evilly. "I see. Vejiita must have wanted you willingly and he knew you were untouched. But I'm sure he'd be quite angry to have you returned to him as, shall we say, damaged goods. Knowing the one female he wanted to take was taken by someone else first." Furiza smirked. "Zarbon." "Yes, Sire?" Zarbon said immediately from her right. "You may have her. For one night only. Don't damage her too much, though. If she bears Vejiita's mark as a mistress, burn it off and replace it. With your own." Furiza chuckled. "And we'll give her back to him." "Yes, Sire," Zarbon said with a smirk. "I'll take her to my rooms now." "No, Zarbon. Do it here," Furiza ordered. Zarbon smirk slipped slightly before it appeared again, only a bit forced. "Yes, Sire." He looked her over, his smirk widening as his eyes traveled over her body. She backed away slowly as he began to advance on her. He disappeared and appeared behind her. He grabbed her neck suddenly and forced her to the ground, leaning over her and pining her to the ground. He pulled up her skirt and removed her panties, fiddling with his pants at the same time. He pushed her legs open with a knee, smirking into her wide-eyes. And Buruma screamed. ~~~ "Finished, Father." King Vejiita nodded. "How long did it take to subdue them?" "Nine and a half hours." "You're joking," the king said in complete shock. "No." "That's fast. Very fast. Even for you." "I know." The king blinked and looked closer at his son. "You look like shit, Vejiita." "Thanks." "What are you hiding?" "Nothing." He paused. "Permission to take time off to retrieve something I lost." Vejiita no Ou raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Two months." "Fine." Vejiita paused again. "Where is Furiza's last known location?" King Vejiita started. "The Amudeku quadrant." He glanced sharply at his son. "Why?" "No reason. Vejiita out," Vejiita said, shutting of the vid screen. He growled softly to himself and left the bridge, striding purposely to his rooms. "Sire?" He snarled and turned to face the fool stupid enough to talk to him. "Bardock, what the fuck do you want?" he hissed, resuming his march to his quarters. "Permission to ask a question, Sire." "Fine," he snapped without looking at him. "Are we going to retrieve the blue-haired female?" "Yes," he snarled. "Thanks, Sire." Vejiita glanced at the warrior struggling to keep pace with him. "Why do you care?" he demanded. "She and I had a conversation on the way to deliver her to Zarbon." "And?" "She told me she and my son were as close as siblings. I told her that made her my daughter as well, and that we would retrieve her from Furiza. She said my son always protected her before and she didn't have anyone to protect her now that he's gone. I swore to protect her, Sire." Bardock found himself pinned to the wall by a near-rabid Vejiita. "I protect her!" he roared angrily. "I protect her, not you, and not your dead third-class son! I protect her!" He dropped the warrior and continued his angry march to his quarters. Bardock watched his Prince silently as he disappeared down the brightly lit hallway. He then smiled sadly before turning away and walking in the opposite direction. ~~~ Buruma huddled protectively under the large blanket she had been given, rocking slightly back and forth. She hadn't been touched since the first night, that night that monster stole her virginity, her life from her. She had been locked in here, given food through the stupid slot in the doorway, and wasn't even disturbed. She laughed bitterly to herself as she rocked. She suspected she was losing her mind, but didn't think it likely if she was so worried about losing it. Was it possible to be insane and worrying about it at the same time? She giggled softly. She was definitely losing it. She had been stuck in this room with her only her mind for company since that night, which seemed years away. She wasn't sure how long she had been there, or how long she will stay there. She closed her eyes. It was always dark and she knew there was no way out of the room. She had tried. After the third day, she had been coherent enough to look for a way out, and nothing. It was a large steel room, with one bed and a large door. Nothing else. She was fed food through the slot, and the utensils taken away the same way. She laughed softly to herself. What was the purpose of escaping when they were on a ship in the middle of space? If she got to an escape pod, she might make it out, but to where? She needed to go to Namek-sei and she had no idea where this ship was or where Namek-sei was or anything. Her only hope lay in the fact she had been promised that she would be retrieved. Promised by a certain Saiyajin no Ouji who had kissed her. Not once but three times. She sighed. But would he even care? Bardock promised as well, but if Vejiita didn't want to retrieve her, she doubted the warrior could save her. She felt so helpless. So incredibly helpless and alone. She was stuck in a room, alone with her own mind. And all she had were the memories of her rape. She curled herself tighter. 'Don't think of that. Not now. Can't lose it yet.' She began to weep silently. She knew that the longer she put off thinking about it, the worse it'd be. But, she couldn't bear to face the memories. She couldn't do it. She was too weak, too damn weak now that she had no one to protect her. No friends, no family, no home. Her only hope of salvation lay in the Saiyajin no Ouji who couldn't care less. She sobbed out. She was fighting a losing battle. She didn't even know if she was sane anymore. She only knew that she wanted to feel safe again. And for some reason, she wanted Vejiita, who had promised to save her. She was just afraid he wouldn't. He'd let her die here, lost in the memories of that night, alone. She wanted to get away, far away. She truly was alone now. And she suddenly realized she was hoping for a rescue by a man almost as evil as the monster who did this. She shook violently. Who was she kidding? Why was she still fighting the despair? She was losing and she knew it. And she once again cried herself to sleep. Knowing her dreams were going to be nightmares. Again. |
