| He cursed. "Kakarotto won't be able to control himself in his transformed state." He sped up slightly as he flew. "How often does a full moon happen here?" "About every 28 days," she replied. "Hn." She sighed and looked over the Saiyajin's shoulder at the scenery that flew by them. She glanced at his waist where his tail was currently wrapped. It looked soft and Buruma had a sudden urge to touch it. The end of it twitched minutely and she noticed the slight tightening of his tail. She frowned. "What's wrong?" she asked him. He blinked and glanced at her. "Nothing, Onna." "Don't lie to me, Vejiita. Your tail is twitching." He growled. "That's another reason we wrap our tails around our waist." "To hide how you feel," she said, staring at him. He snorted. "Of course. Emotions are weaknesses." "I wouldn't say that..." "Any emotion can get you killed." "You feel though, right?" He scowled. "Unfortunately. I was trained and bred to feel nothing. My training and breeding failed." "How so?" "Just because I feel them, doesn't mean I have to share them," he snapped. She frowned. "You asked me to trust you. Now I'm asking you to trust me." He stopped suddenly and hovered in the air, looking down at her. "I trust no one," he told her, his hands tightening almost painfully around her waist. Staring up into his troubled gaze, she easily picked up the confusion and fear. But there were other emotions hidden there that she couldn't pinpoint. The complete intensity of his dark eyes enthralled her. She released her tight hold on his neck, so that his arms around her waist were the only thing that kept her from falling. He frowned at her in confusion and she smiled at him. She reached one hand up to brush his soft cheek tenderly with a fingertip. He blinked at her in shock. Her smile widened and moved her hand down his back. She rested her hand on the armor at his lower back. "I trust you. Now it is time you trust me," she told him softly, and immediately grasped his tail gently. Vejiita stiffened immediately and his eyes widened. "What are you-?" "Trust me," she murmured, gently pulling his tail from his waist and petting it lightly. Vejiita's muscles tightened and his eyes drifted closed. She stroked the soft fur on his tail and Vejiita's hands tightened even more on her waist. A soft purr erupted from his throat, surprising both of them. Vejiita clutched at her as her hands moved up his tail, her fingers dancing enticingly through the soft fur. "Onna," he ground out, his head falling to her shoulder. "Trust me," she whispered again, her hand encircling the tail and squeezing gently. He pulled her to him roughly, his purrs vibrating his chest. "Onna, stop," he said softly. "You seem to be enjoying it," she teased lightly. He growled through his purrs. "I'm going to fall out of the sky! Stop," he ordered gruffly. She smiled softly and stroked his tail from base to tip. He shuddered violently and she could feel him struggling to keep airborne. She was almost positive it was turning him on, not that she had much experience with that, but the noticeable bulge against her lower stomach was hard to miss. Especially when he had gripped her so tightly to it. His soft purrs had an unusual effect on her. She was definitely turned on, amazed at how incredibly *sexy* a purr could be, but the low sounds seemed to be sedating her. She wanted nothing more than to lay back and let him have his way with her. She released his tail and it flicked out of her hand. Vejiita released the breath he had been holding and panted slightly. He slowly descended, stepping away from her when he landed. He stared at her in shock and horror, his mind a whirl of emotions and incoherent thoughts. "See? I didn't hurt you." "No," he agreed. "You only nearly killed us. Onna, don't do that. Gods, don't do that." She cocked her head and smiled. "Do you trust me?" He scowled. "It is hard to trust." "I promise I won't hurt you." He chuckled. "You cannot hurt me." "There are other ways then just the physical to hurt someone," she pointed out. He glowered at her. "Trust me, Vejiita. You asked for mine, I think it is only fair. I won't betray it, I swear." She walked over to the wary Saiyajin no Ouji, reaching up to touch his cheek lightly. He flinched slightly at her touch, but didn't move away. "We have to go, Onna." She nodded. "I know, but I want your trust first." He blinked and then scowled, turning away from her demanding gaze. "I'll... try," he compromised. She smiled and moved to stand in front of him, forcing him to look at her. "Thank you," she whispered and leaned up, pressing a gentle kiss against his lips. As soon as it started, she released him. "Let's go." He nodded and wrapped his arms around her waist again, and levitated into the air. He turned towards the direction of the crash site and took off. ~~~ Vejiita landed silently in the large clearing that surround the three giant craters. Buruma stepped away from him, glancing around at the familiar crash site. Her eyes widened as she caught sight of the gentle boy she had just met, who was now a very angry young man. The kid and Nappa locked in a skirmish with Radditzu standing nearby, his tail lashing behind him. He glanced over to them, and Buruma could see his obvious relief. "Vejiita-sama!" he called. Vejiita walked over to them, his face sporting a thunderous scowl. Goku and Nappa both paused to look at him. Goku then glanced at Buruma and smiled happily in relief. Vejiita stopped in front of them. "What's going on?" Nappa gulped. "I was... teasing the kid and apparently it angered him." "What did you say to him?" Vejiita demanded suspiciously. The large warrior looked away. "I was telling him that the blue-haired female was probably getting raped and killed by you and laughed about it. It angered him." Vejiita snarled and blasted Nappa in the chest with a large ki ball, sending the burly warrior flying into the surrounding forest. "Damn that idiot! He should know better than to anger a Saiyajin, especially an untrained one." He turned to Radditzu. "You'd think he would have learned that from when he got me angry when I was a brat." He turned to the youngest Saiyajin and chuckled. "Nice work, brat. Nappa is going to be sporting some interesting colors later." He paused and frowned. "But it was unnecessary. The female is fine, as you can see." Goku nodded, frowning at the shorter warrior. "Her name is Buruma," he told Vejiita a bit irritated. Vejiita smirked. "I'm aware of her name, brat." He turned away and motioned Buruma to come closer, obviously a little nervous of the warrior that was just now returning from his flight through the trees. Her hand moved into her pocket and Vejiita assumed that she was holding on of those weapons she had used before. "See? She's fine." Goku grinned and threw his arms around the startled Buruma. She smiled and returned the hug. "Hey, Son-kun. How's it going?" "I was worried that man was going to hurt you, and then when that big one said all those things..." Vejiita scowled and humphed, crossing his arms over his chest. "I have better things to do than hurt weak females, boy." Goku frowned. "She may not be physically strong, but that doesn't make her weak. Or less important." Buruma laughed and hugged Goku's shoulders. "Don't pay attention to his insults, Son-kun," she told the young teenager with a smile. "But I am fine, see? No need to worry." "I didn't really want to take any chances, especially since that bald one had already tried to kill you and he works for the short one! They're all together and you were all alone with one. Plus, these two are scared of the little one, so I was really worried!" She grinned. "Thanks for caring, kid. But I can take care of myself pretty well, you know." "I know. You saved my life." She shrugged. "All in a days work." She turned to Vejiita. "We never finished our discussion about Son-kun, Vejiita." Radditzu and Nappa gaped at Buruma in surprise while Vejiita laughed out right. "Close your mouths," he ordered with a smirk. "But-" Nappa began. "I'm fully aware of the informality." "But-" "Shut up, Nappa. Continue, Onna." She smirked at the dumbfounded Saiyajin. 'So, it's a big no-no to call the ouji by his name alone, hmmm?' "I made a promise to bring him to Kame-sennin. After that Son-kun can decide to join you or not." "We have to leave immediately, Onna. We don't have time." She looked at him pleadingly. "Vejiita, I have to. Kame-sennin promised me something and I need to bring Son-kun. Please, Vejiita?" she pleaded, putting on her best 'needy' look. "It isn't too far away." Vejiita scowled. "Feh. Fine. But," he put in as her face brightened, "not tonight. Is getting dark and there is to a full moon tonight, correct, Onna? Kakarotto hasn't been trained to control his transformed state. As much as I'd love to watch that, we don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention. News of a power level that high here could get Furiza's notice." "We should leave immediately," Nappa protested, being the one in a hurry this time. "Nappa, I've made my decision. Radditzu, confine the brat in a pod or something to keep him from looking at the moon. Oh, and you two can't transform either." Both looked a bit disappointed, but didn't protest. "Onna, I'll escort you and the boy to this Kame-sennin tomorrow morning." Goku frowned. "What do you mean by confining me?" "What do you think I mean, Kakarotto? You cannot transform now." "Transform?" Vejiita growled softly. "It doesn't surprise me you don't remember. Saiyajin change into giant apes when they look at the full moon, brat. That includes you. You haven't been taught to control it and you could very easily destroy this planet. And that's pretty pointless if we're on it." "Oh," Goku said, allowing Radditzu to lead him away. Vejiita scowled at the giant warrior next to him, pointing a finger at him. "Don't even look at the female, Nappa. Understood? No killing, no raping, and no touching. Don't even think about her. You disobey me again and you die." Nappa nodded quickly. "Good. Don't harm or tease Kakarotto either. You are on brat-sitting watch. Make sure he doesn't see the moon. Send Radditzu to me." Nappa nodded again and trotted off towards the direction that the other two Saiyajin had taken. Vejiita turned to the blue-haired female who stood behind him. "Staying here might be a little rough, Onna. You can sleep in my pod and I'll sleep outside it. Nappa won't get near you." Buruma giggled. "I don't need your pod. I have a capsule house." He blinked. "A what?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out her white capsule case, picked up one of the larger ones, clicked the button, and threw it on the ground. After a small explosion a large house stood where the capsule landed. Vejiita stared at it silently for a few moments before laughing. "I've never seen anything like it." She smiled. "My father invented them." He blinked and glanced at her. "I must say I'm impressed," he commented, his face thoughtful. "Sire?" Radditzu interrupted from behind the pair. "Radditzu, watch her," he ordered. "I'm going hunting." And with that, he disappeared into the surrounding forest. Radditzu's eyebrows rose in surprise and he glanced at the blue-haired female beside him, who was looking at him curiously. "What is it?" she asked. He frowned. "Nothing. Not really. It's just... Vejiita-sama never hunts. He sends Nappa and I." "He felt like it?" He shook his head. "I don't think so..." He looked at the confused female and sighed. "No offense, but I'm not really excited about guard duty." She grinned and opened the capsule house door. "None taken. Come on in, Radditzu." "What is this, anyway?" he asked, following her inside. "A capsule house. Basically a portable house." He looked around, quite impressed. "That's amazing." She smiled and sat on the sofa, looking up at the warrior. "Yeah, it is." She watched him glance around the room for a few moments. "You can sit down." He nodded and sat beside her warily. She laughed at his obvious nervousness, and Radditzu blinked at her. "What?" he demanded. "You act like I'm going to bite you." His eyes widened in horror. "Vejiita-sama would kill me!" She frowned in confusion. "Huh?" He shook his head. "Nothing to worry about right now." He glanced at her nervously, his tail unwinding from his waist and it twitched beside him. Buruma stared at the tail in fascination causing Radditzu to squirm a bit. "What's wrong?" she inquired. He sighed. "I don't think it'd be wise to talk about it." She frowned. "Why do I feel like I'm missing something?" "I wish Vejiita-sama would have sent me hunting instead," he grumbled. "Why?" He stood up suddenly. "Sorry, but I'm going outside," he told her gruffly and then disappeared out the door. She blinked as the door closed behind him. "What just happened?" |
