Chapter 2:
Though he was handsome, and had battle scars to prove his strength, something about him creeped her out. Like the way he never looked at her face, just her body. He knew she wasn�t of age yet! What a perverted Saiyan. She didn�t like the thought of being alone with him on the way to the palace, when she remembered one of her actual friends was also coming with them. Chi Chi.
Bulma almost sighed relief as she hugged her parents good-bye. She smiled, hoping they wouldn�t get the wrong idea of her hating them almost so much she could cry, and turned around. Yamcha extended his hand, which she blatantly ignored. He looked like he was about to grab her by the neck as she walked by him, smirking evilly. Once the door was shut he rounded on her.
�Take. My. Hand.� His voice was low and dangerous.
Ha! He doesn�t scare me.
She smiled evilly at him and blithely gave him the finger. The next thing she knew he had a strangle hold on her.
�You need to learn some respect, wench!� He tightened his grip alarmingly. Good thing Bulma knew what to say.
�Well, your highness, what happens if the Prince does chose me from the group of whores that signed up to try and win his favor? I�ll just tell him that you threatened the future queen�s life and we�ll see how much respect you get-when you�re dead!� Her eyes gleamed maliciously as he let go.
It�s not like he could�ve hurt her anyway. She and Chi Chi were the strongest females in the whole village. Hmm�is it a coincidence that we we�re so strong, have the same birthday, and both absolutely gorgeous? I think not.
Yamcha was having his own thoughts as they walked to the town square to meet the other guard and slut that were from this town. That bitch! I just now finally got into the Royal guard and she treats me like any Saiyan she would meet on the street. Hmph, well when Prince Vegeta rejects her, I�ll hunt her and make her life a living hell. Ha! And he will reject her, if I have anything to do with it!
On that note they came along to the square, where a tall Saiyan, also from the Royal Guard, held Chi Chi with her arms behind her back. Bulma could here her screeching from here.
�Let go of me you bastard! I will not stand for this! I�m gonna kick your ass as soon as you let go! Don�t think I won�t. Damnit! I hate you father! I hope you rot in Hades for all eternity!� Chi Chi looked back at her house as she said that. All the blinds went down immediately.
�Chi Chi,� Bulma said, trying to hold in her mirth. The tall Guard holding onto her friend was grimacing from her loud yelling. �We have to accept this. The Prince may not pick us. Then we can return here and have a choice of whatever man we want.� She saw Chi Chi�s eyes light up, but then darken when she spotted Yamcha.
�Bulma, what did you do to him? He looks ready to kill you.�
Yamcha looked at the fellow guard and they both sighed.
�So Kakkarot, looks like you had to fetch a harpy also. What is it with Saiyans born on this day?� Kakkarot looked at Yamcha confusedly.
�What did you say? I couldn�t hear you! I think I lost my hearing!� He yelled it, making both Bulma and Yamcha laugh. Chi Chi blushed. Kakkarot turned to her. �Can I let you go now? You won�t run away again, right? Now that you know you can�t get away from me.� He looked smug, but Chi Chi just bristled more.
�Damn you mother fucking bastard. You think this is all funny, don�t you?� Tears came to her eyes as she looked back at her house. �WELL I FUCKING DON�T! HEAR THAT FATHER? I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE-�
Bulma had put a hand over her friend�s mouth and hugged her.
�C�mon Chi. We�ll go together. You and me. We can talk on the way there.� She nodded to Yamcha and Kakkarot. They both took off the ground and Bulma put an arm around Chi Chi�s shoulders as she took off, helping her friend fight.
�It�s not fair. It�s just not fair.� Chi Chi managed between sobs. �I had my heart set on being hunted by Reko! You know that Bulma! Then I wake up and my FUCKING FATHER tells me I�m about to be auctioned off at some freak show for the prince! I kicked his ass twice in a row. Then I screamed and cried�� She stopped as she noticed Bulma�s tears adding to her own.
�I know how you feel!� Bulma kept her voice steady as she flew behind Yamcha and Kakkarot. She knew they could hear them. �I know how it feels to have all your hopes and dreams come a crash, and your heart ripped to shreds and thrown on the floor only to be stomped on by your parents and some ARROGANT BASTARD ROYAL GUARDS!� Both girls giggled as Yamcha and Kakkarot looked behind them, frowning. Hey, at least she stopped crying� Bulma thought as she sped up.
Yamcha shook his head. �Stupid bitches. Do we really have to take this crap, Kakkarot?� Kakkarot shrugged his shoulders and looked away. He felt really bad for doing this. It had been sad how the girl�s - Chi Chi�s - father had practically thrown her into his arms. He would never forget the words the old man had spat out before he left...
�Stupid bitch is just like her fucking mother. Hope the Prince rejects her. Then she can be used as a whore around the Royal Guards, just like her slut of a mother.�
The man had had no compassion, and Kakkarot had seen Chi Chi mask her hurt behind a wall of screaming insults at everything she saw. She had tried to escape from him, taking off into the air as soon as they shut the door. He had caught up with her - not so easily, he might add - and forced her to wait for Yamcha and the other girl. He sighed. Well, she was the Prince�s now. He shouldn�t dwell on her too much. Though her hair was so long and smelled of roses, and her skin�damnit! He sped up, and Yamcha had to work hard to keep up with him.
�Hey Kakkarot, slow down! Why the big rush? We�ll lose the girls going this fast!� Yamcha slowed down, but Kakkarot kept going. He had to get away from them. He felt he would show them some kindness and then he would be made a laughingstock. No, that wouldn�t happen again. He shot off toward the palace.
Yamcha let the girls catch up, and then he took them to the palace, wondering what had gotten into Kakkarot the whole way.
