Chapter Five

�� Xenta opened the door to her hotel room and tossed her bag toward the bed. It missed and slid to a halt by the foot of the bed. Vegeta was rooming across the hall but she was trying to forget that fact. She looked up and he waved at her through the open doors. She walked over and slammed her door with a huff.� She picked up her bag and set in it on the bed then picked up the remote and clicked on the TV. ��

�� "At least there's cable here," she smiled channel surfing until she found Animal Planet.

�� "Sweet a show on tigers," she laid back in the bed.

�� "This is amazing," the man on the TV spoke to the camera, "look at the majesty of these beauties."

�� "Kinda makes me almost miss home," Xenta watched the tigers interact, "almost."� The TV show went on to discuss the differences between lions and tigers as she emptied her bag.

�� "Now I need a shower," she told her reflection she picked up her shower caddy and headed toward the bathroom. She turned on the hot water or the shower and flicked on the dull light casting a steamy glow around the room.� The almost burning hot water soothed her as she let her life melt away from her. She was lost in a memory of her ultimate goal. I need to find the other dragonballs! Only then can I find the deliverer. Then she can bring back all those who have fallen in battle. I must save my people. Failure is not an option. Even if I can't find the deliverer I have to try myself. I owe it to them. And I know I need Piccolo's help. Somewhere in the distance in a fog that clouded all thought was a song. It grew louder, enveloping her causing her mind to go blank. She forgot all about getting home. This is such a nice melody, an instrumental that's almost enchanting. She closed her eyes and swayed with the music.

�� "This is so beautiful," she whispered, " I've never heard anything like this. It's so relaxing."

�� "Isn't it though," Vegeta's deep seductive voice came from behind her.

�� "No," she whispered, "we can't."

�� "But we can, and we will," he whispered in her ear. She dare not turn around knowing if she saw his wet body she's give in. once is enough! It's getting easier!!!! Don't make Jescele right. She swallowsed hard keeping her eyes shut and trying to concentrate on something else. He moved his hands up her back to massage her neck. Her body tensed and she balled her hands. She tried to resist him.

�� "You know you want it," he said, "come on tell me. Just give in and make us both happy." He roughly spun her around to face him. She kept her eyes tightly closed and turned her head away from him. He gently grabbed her chin and turned her head toward him. He bent his head and kissed her full on the lips. Against all her might she kissed him back yet still keeping her eyes closed.

�� "Xenta," he commanded softly, "open your eyes so I can see them. We both want this so don't fight it." She could feel her eyes pase and her claws form; her tail began to twitch in excitement.

�� "Come on I can see you want me. Your body won't lie," he tried. She shut her eyes tighter then they already were. Her mind was screaming at her. You might as well be honest cause the body never leis, no not my song. He can't do this to me.

�� "Open you eyes," he demanded. Slowly she opened her eyes. I know that you want me I can see it in your eyes. Her eyes moved up his sculpted chest and up to his face. There was no turning back for her now. He attacked her lips with his own kissing her deeply and massaging her breasts slowly. She moaned softly as he moved his hands down her stomach. Her hands were around his neck and she lightly dragged her claws over his back sending little flames everywhere her claws touched. The hot water rained down on them as they teased each other. She slowly moved her hands down his back and brought then around his stomach.�

�� Jescele sat alone at the fountain in the park she was dressed in jeans and a "Trouble-maker" tee shirt. She was waiting for her date to arrival. Come on we haven't seen each other like this in over a week. I'm dying without you! She sat there trying not to look inpatient. She'd been seeing this guy for about a year now and their last date was their first intimate experience with each other and she was pretty sure it was his first. She'd left him before dawn and hadn't seen him since. It was her turn to plan there date and she had a few surprises for him.

�� "Go-dog, she called through the crowd, "over here!" he pushed his way though the people to get to her but was cut off by a man walking his dog. She quickly filled in the gap between them and kissed him as a welcome.

�� "I missed you," she told him after breaking the kiss, "I'm sorry I left but you know what would have happened."

�� "I understand, "he smiled, "we can't get caught. That's just not an option." She kissed him again grabbing his hand to lead him to her car.

�� "So where are we going," he asked when they arrived at her silver viper.

�� "Well first i thought we'd getting food, Carl's of course and the rest is a secret for after we eat," she answered climbing into her car.

�� Chibi and Miari sat in the room they shared staring at one another.� Chibi was unsure of the change he had seen taking place in his older self. Miari wasn't one to keep secrets from him

�� "Come on Miari," Chibi pleaded, "tell me what's the matter."

�� "It's hard," Miari admitted looking at his younger self in envy.

�� "What is," Chibi asked.

�� "Standing by while it all happens again I was sent here to help change the future but they begged me not to change my own but I desperately want to," he answered, 'I can't sit idle while you get hurt and I fell it all again, they want it to happen, they need it too. It's how they became close and how I got sent back. "Make sure it happens" she told me before I left, not I love you or be careful, nothing to show she cares but the other one, oh how she cried and the child neither wanted me to leave, they begged for me to stay with them but I had to come and now I'm stuck in between the two forced to relive the painful events over again."

�� "What are you talking about," Chibi asked now very confused, "who, what two and what child?"

�� "I might as well tell you," Miari sighed looking at his younger self, "but you have to promise not to tell any one."

�� "Sure no problem, "Chibi shrugged not understanding the intensity of it all.

�� "You see me and Nat were really close but one day I started talking to Marron," Miari started, "and then to get everyone off my back about Nat and to help Marron get out of the house we planed a trip away. We planed to stay in a hotel, separate rooms and all, but they screwed up and we had to hare a hotel room for three days. In that time we grew close and we kinda got sort of intimae for a while. We were wrong but it was too late. We were in too deep with one another.� A few months down the way she found out she was pregnant we kept it form everyone, it wasn't that hard, but Xenta already knew. I don't even know how but she did. She helped us; she seemed to understand as if she'd been in the same situation. We found a place to stay for a while; no one questioned the idea either. We ended up at the club with Nat and that turned out to be a problem. She and I were dating when all this happened and I had to tell her, she just not someone to lie to. But I waited too long to tell her the truth and Marron did it for me. Things eventually were worked out, not completely the way I'd have like but I can't tell you any more."

�� "Why not," Chibi asked hoping to learn more about his future.

�� "Because I had to leave," Miari said letting the silence take over again.

�� Jescele and Go-dog had finished their meal and were on the way out of Carl's when she paused by the restroom door.

�� "Come on," she pulled him into the bathroom and locked the door.

�� "Jescele what are you doing," he asked.

�� "Fulfilling a fantasy," she smiled seductively,'" you see I've always thought Carl's has had such large bathrooms with locking doors. It's as if they wanted me to do naughty things inside." He looked at her waiting for more of an explanation. She pulled him close and tugged at his shirt.

�� "Why not do something naughty with me Go-dog, for the HFIL of it," she flicked her tongue at him. He leaned in and kissed her helping to remove his shirt. Sex in a Carl's bathroom, only Jescele would think of that.

�� Xenta and Vegeta lay passed out on her bed. They had moved their shower fun to the bed after the water turned cold and now they were asleep together for the first time. Xenta had been too tired to question why he hadn't left. She just fell asleep next to him soaking up his warmth.

�� Jescele and Go-dog ended up back at her place and continuing from where they left off in the bathroom. They ended the night around four am with him saying goodnight and leaving her be.�

�� Xenta shot out of bed like a cat from under a car that backfired. Someone was knocking on her door. She grabbed her bathrobe and slipped it on to cover her naked body, glancing at the clock on her way to the door.

�� "Who the fuck would be at my door at 6 am," she questioned bitterly angry that her dream was interrupted, "if its Vegeta I'm gonna kill him!" she unlatched the door and threw it open violently. She came face to face with handsome young man holding Vegeta's bag.

�� "Sorry to disturb you Miss but you?'re a- father left his bag in the room after he checked out." He was staring at her body through her robe.

�� "He's not my father," she corrected him, this caused his eyes to shot to hers, "he's more like a cat toy that's fun to play with.'" She smiled wickedly at the man as he stood there with his jaw dropped.

�� "Thanks for his bag, he'll be missing it tonight when he comes home to play," she took the bag out of the poor man's hand and said in a low tone, "if you want to join us later just knock." Xenta winked and shut the door trying not to laugh that the beet red face of the young man. She threw his bag on her bed and sat down.

�� "That Dihara," she ripped open the zipper of his bag, "if he thinks he's going to be rooming in here for the rest of the mission then I've got a few words for him." She looked around knowing he'd left hours ago then returned her attention to his bag.

�� "Let's see what the veggie butt brought for a month with me," she thought out loud while looking for something fun to play with. She pulled out a large matchbox and laughed. Pyro much. �She continued to dig until she found what she was looking for. It was a small plain box that she'd seen many times before. She opened it and emptied the contents onto her bed out came three condoms.

�� "Yeah Vegeta real smooth. Bring three for a month," she laughed, "we haven't used one yet and even if we do I know you won't go buy more. So who's your supplier?" she put his things away tossing his bag on the floor and going to her own. She dug around and pulled out her picture cube and returned to her bed. This box had caught her eye a long time ago. You see this box opens up and has a storage space inside.

�� "Time to take inventory," she said fingering through it, "a few condoms, a variety of pills, some tests. I'm good for now but I'll have to restock soon." She placed the box in the draw of her nightstand. She sighed remembering the items in Vegeta's bag. Man is he boring! Not a single fun toy for me to play with at all. No chains, no cuffs, not even a rope. Am I the only one who remembers the art of sexual torture?� If Jescele were here...then she remembered Jescele and her date.

�� "I've got to call her," Xenta reached for the phone.

�� 18 was walking by Jescele's office and noticed the phone was ringing and there was no Jescele to be seen Without much debate she went in and picked up the phone saying, "Silver demon eyes Jescele's office the devil's not in so what the fuck do you want?"

�� "Damn! I guess I'll have to sell my soul to someone else," Xenta said in a serious tone.

�� "Did you know that your best friend hasn;t been seen since she left for her date last night," 18 asked turning toward the door.

�� "Go Jescele get sex," Xenta cheered into the phone.

�� "So what is this call about," 18 asked.

�� "Just checking in," Xenta lied, "you know we got here safe and all that bull shit."

�� "I'll give her the message," 18 smiled watching Jescele rush down the hall toward her. 18 took the receiver and made it seem like she was going to hang up.

�� "That better not be Xenta you are about to hang up on," Jescele screamed grabbing the phone and dropping her bag on the floor.� 18 took this opportunity to leave before she was forced to hear one side of best friends regaling each other about sexual conquests.

�� "Hey Trilla," Jescele laughed sitting back in her chair and putting her feet on her desk.

�� "Hey Jescele," Xenta's voice lightened, " how was you date?"

�� "It was good. We had lots of fun," Jescele smiled evilly curling her clawed finger in the phone cord.

�� "So what?d you do," Xenta asked dying to know why her best friend hadn't come home the night before.

�� "We went to Carl's," Jescele said.

�� "Oh no not the bathroom again," Xenta sighed

�� "I can't help it. They're just so big and fun." Jescele smiled evilly.

�� "Ai miy trosa Jescele! Control yourself asyena," Xenta commanded.

�� "What about you my lil moy Trilla," Jescele changed the subject, "what happened between you and your veggie plate I sent you away with?"

�� "Did you know that he checked out of his room and had his bag moved over to my room," Xenta asked.

�� "You two must have had some night for him to be moving in with you," Jescele laughed.� Xenta knew Jescele was waiting for her classic "I told you so" I hate when she's right but she sent me out here with him so it's her fault. I've never had to spend a month with a guy after I got what I wanted.

�� "He appeared in my shower," Xenta finally whispered.

�� "So it was just you and him and all that hot water all alone," Jescele teased.

�� "I tried to be on my best behavior but it wouldn't take no for an answer. He used to my own methods against me!" Xenta told her friend.

�� "That is so sick. Guys are not supposed to use OUR methods" they're OURS damn it," Jescele commented.

�� "He used my song! MY song. You know I can't resist my own song," Xenta complained.

�� "You liked it though... right?" Jescele asked.

�� "Yes but-"

�� "So live it up. Be the Trilla I know you wanna be," Jescele suggested, "when you return to AH he'll go back to ignoring you and you can move on to your next vict-boyfriend. "

�� "Too bad we don't even have enough condoms to last a month" not that he's wear one even if we did," Xenta laughed.

�� "Please Trilla," Jescele rubbed her head in annoyance, " you can either buy more and make him or not. Your decision but either way I don't want to hear about veggie but and rubber. Not my idea of a conversation ANY time of the day."

�� "Sorry," Xenta started laughing remembering the hotel employee.

�� "What's so funny," Jescele asked.

�� "When the guy dropped off Vegeta's bag he called him my father," Xenta continued to laugh.

�� "Kami that's funny," Jescele managed between her fits of laughter, "so what'd you tell him?"

�� "I told him he was a toy that was fun to play with," Xenta smiled and Jescele went into another fit of laughter, "I also told the boy he could join us tonight if he wanted." Jescele started gasping for air.

�� "Calm down Jescele don't have a hearts attack," Xenta told her, "We still need you around you know."

�� "Sorry but if he found out he'd blow a gasket," Jescele stopped laughing.�

��"Don't I know it," Xenta checked her watch, "and I'd never hear the end it. Well looks like I've got to go make my presence know at the bank."

�� "You'd better get down there before Vegeta blows the assignment," Jescele told her, "but remember try to have fun with this one. Just get the information you're there for so you can come home."

�� "I'll do the best I can considering," Xenta sighed hanging up the phone.

�� A blue Jaguar convertible sped into the parking lot of the local Westend Bank. The radio blared Kron "Freak on a Leash". Xenta parked her car at the far end of the lot and hopped over the side of her car. She looked around taking in everything. Her eyes darted around behind her dark shades. She took off for the front door. Every curve of her body was accented in her tight black leather pants. Her tight black "bad kitty" shirt was slit down the middle just right to tease the men around her. Her long brown hair was tied back in a high braid and she wore a black bandanna that sparkled silver in the light. She reached up and pulled open the door. Once inside she pulled down her sunglasses and hooked them to the slit in her shirt. She could feel everyone staring at her and she smiled.

�� "Can I help you," a hot young blonde asked her after he'd picked up his tongue.

�� "Yes" she smiled looking at him, "Corporate sent me to check up on the progress your branch promised. They asked me to compile a complete review of everyone and report back with the changes I feel need to be made. Now if you'll be a good boy and take me to your manager I can get started."

�� "Um Miss-"

�� "Please call me Xenta," she turned at the sound of a young girl's voice.

�� "Alright Xenta," the girl repeated, "Follow me. The manger is expecting you." Xenta winked at the blonde and turned to follow the girl.

"I hope you're more professional than your assistant," the girl spoke her mind, "from the moment he walked in the door he's been hitting on all the female employees."

�� "I'll let him know that sexual harassment will get him sent back to corporate for discipline," Xenta smiled.

�� "They're in here," the girl pointed to a door.

�� "Thank you," Xenta said as she opened the door and walked in. inside the room Vegeta sat at a conference table. Across from him sat their target, Dusthana.

�� "Welcome to our branch," Dusthana smiled greeting Xenta, "um- are you sure that is appropriate attire to wear while here?"

�� "This is what I always wear," Xenta shrugged, "they haven't had a problem at corporate."

�� "Then it is fine," Dusthana smiled.�

�� "It's about time woman," Vegeta broke in.

�� "I was told to arrive here at 10:30 and it is now," Xenta glanced at her watch, "10:30. I'm sorry if you thought you needed to be here any earlier but I didn't feel like getting out of bed any sooner then I needed to. And if I had been late it would have been the hotel's fault. It seems that they have record that my father checked out of his room this morning and brought over his bag. I had to explain to them that my father doesn't accompany me on business trips." She turned and looked at him with a smile.

�� "Why are you bothering me with your personal life," he asked more then irritated.

�� "Maybe because you pry and push until all I can do to shut you up is," she cut herself off before she went to far with him. I can't believe I almost said that and in front of a stranger! Ai miy trosa I need help! I'm becoming more like Bulma everyday and that is the last thing I'll ever need. Maybe I should take my vacation and spend it at Ice's.

�� "Woman! Are you ever going to finish your sentence," he asked angered that he'd almost pushed her too far.

�� "Never mind," she barked at him then turned to Dusthana, "I'm Xenta, I know you're Dusthana. So shall we get started?" Vegeta was fuming at Xenta. He hated being pushed aside every time he got close to hearing the truth from her. Damn her! Why did she have to catch herself? I was so close! Once woman, it's not right for her to be so strong willed.

�� Xenta has hopped to get their information and get back to Ah in a week but still a month later she and Vegeta were undercover at the bank. At night they slept together and during the day she'd pretend to hate him. Her act was overly convincing to everyone at the bank. She had so much anger hidden away it wasn't hard to throw it all at him. She kind of liked treating him like dirt. It made their nights ever better. Xenta would call Jescele and repot their progress and they still had found nothing they could use. Finally Jescele asked them to come back and on their last day in South DC Xenta decided to screw the subtle way and do things her way. What could it hurt? She was leaving for go anyway.

�� Xenta and Dusthana were in the conference room waiting for Vegeta to return with their lunch. They were engaged in small talk about nothing.

��" Thana," Xenta said after a long silence.

�� 'Yeah," Dusthana asked.

�� "I know you know that I don't really work for the bank," Xenta came out, "you knew from the first moment you saw me. You didn't say anything but I know you knew. And you've spent the last month wondering why I would lie and take my time to pretend to do something this boring."

�� "The thought had crossed my mind," Dusthana admitted.

�� "Well I'm here for information," Xenta continued, "you see Cell has escaped and my job is to find him and send his sorry ass back to HFIL."

�� "What that bastard is free," Dusthana exploded, "you've got to stop him! I thought this was about my sister, but its not. Oh Kami, Cell. What will I do if her comes looking for her, or worse, me?"

�� "Calm down Thana, tell me what you're talking about and maybe I can help," Xenta said.

�� "If you find Cell maybe you can help my sister," Dusthana thought out loud.

�� "Who is your sister," Xenta asked.

�� "She's a victim," Dusthana explained, "you see Cell had a plan to take over the world. I know he wasn't the mastermind of the plan but he roped in my sister. I couldn't believe she'd ally herself with him. But my people found her out. Our leader, he cursed her. You see she is one of the most powerful of all our kind and no jail could hold her. Her curse in going to kill her I know. I can feel it in my heart. But she's a victim, if only you could save her maybe then she could explain her side and she wouldn't die. I've tried to contact her but there is something blocking the connection. I fear that she had aligned with a new evil, one that is controlling her power in away she can no longer. If this is so we are all in grave danger. I'll do anything can to help you I promise. I know I sound crazy and desperate but she is my sister after all. And you've got to understand that she didn't use to be evil. There once was a time that she wouldn't even cross the street unless the light was green and there was a crosswalk. Whoever is controlling her knows I'm trying to find her. She has three other forms and she's changed her name. It has been to long since she has gone by Modustina. My poor sister is a victim but no one knows who is controlling her. I would say it was Cell but he is incapable of doing something this diabolical. Please promise me that if you find her that you'll try to save her and not kill her, no matter what. If you can save her then maybe you can find Cell and help save the world. That's what you want right? To save everyone? Imagine the next one taken might be someone that you love!'�� Dusthana barely took a breath as she spoke in a desperate tone. Xenta looked at the young girl trying not to feel anything, caring or annoyance. I don't love anyone! I'm just here for the dragonballs then I'm gone. And even if I did care about someone they'd be at home not here. My people are on my planet not here. They don't have to deal with this mess. I don't want to save everyone, just my own. I'm no hero I'm just a princess.

�� "Please promise me! Think of all the people you'll save," Dusthana begged.

�� "Nesa! I promise all right. I make you a Terralin Promise. I cannot break that or I die. The trosa broten shall do the honor if I fail," Xenta promised, "I feel this is something they want me to do. Why else would I be here right?"

�� "Thank you," Dusthana whispered. Suddenly Vegeta burst into the room barely visible through mounds of takeout containers.

�� "How can there be twenty-seven Thai restaurants in this part of DC, " Vegeta yelled dropping the food on the table in front of them.

�� "Vegeta you should know better then to go for Thai, burgers would have been fine," Xenta rolled her eyes.

�� "Shut up or you won't get any," he growled at her.

�� "There's a lot of food here," Dusthana noticed.

�� "Not for this oja! His only Sayian annoyance besides his attitude, lack of intellect, egotistical self-centeredness, and the hair is his appetite for food. That's one of the reasons I make his pay for food," Xenta explained grabbing a side of Thai beef out of Vegeta"s hands.

�� "Woman you already know this," Vegeta looked them both in the eyes, "I will make you pay for everything you say to and about me." Xenta smiled evilly at him.

�� "Cute," she laughed, "Vegeta you know there is no punishment you can come up with that I will not enjoy."

�� "I'll with hold sex," he snaped at her.

�� "Empty threat," Xenta said with a smile, "you can't last as long as I can, besides if I don't get any from you I'll just rape Piccolo in a dark ally." Vegeta threw his food against the wall and stormed out.

�� "What a waste of food," Xenta sighed.

�� "Too true," Dusthana replied.
