Chapter 25 : The Saiya-jin no Hime's bad news
'Why'd he have to go so far away?'
She pushed open the door to a small house and stepped inside.
"Bulma honey!" Was the first thing she heard as Bunny hurried over to her. "Oh, why are you covered in mud?"
"Because certain people *cough* Vegeta *cough* LEFT ME TO GET HERE MYSELF!!!"
"Who are you?!" She demanded, "And why do you have one of those bondy line things with MY man?!"
Kiyashi gave her a look. "Because I was the closest person to Vegeta back when we were children on Vegetasei." She said as if that meant nothing.
"Bulma..." Vegeta said calmly.
"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEVOTED TO ME!!"
"...Kiyashi is my sister."
"YOU STUPID UGLY APEMA... What?"
Bulma's red glow disappeared and was replaced by a blush. "Oh." She mumbled. "Right."
When she finally looked at them she realised that they DID look alike. The two Saiya-jin had similar shaped faces and were almost exactly the same height. Even the way they stood was the same. Chikyuusei's greatest scientist was beginning to feel VERY stupid.
"Neither of you knew." Kiyashi added, "As my brother here seems to have a bad case of the stupids today."
"Oh. Right." Bulma said again. She shook herself, "Wait, if you're a Saiya-jin, how'd you get here and shouldn't you be dead?"
The younger woman shook her head. "I'll tell you later. Right now there are more important things happening." She turned to Vegeta, "And I hope you'll help me."
Vegeta said nothing, his head bowed to the ground in forced respect.
"But you should learn to keep your underlings in line. What your second did was unacceptable. You should know better, weakling."
"Bring him here." Freiza ordered.
Vegeta tried to block his sensitive hearing by tuning out, but failed to ignore the other creature's screams as Freiza slowly and painfully mutilated its body...'
The Saiya-jin no Hime nodded, "Yes. He realised that you would dump the blame on him before the Harathokins were completely destroyed. He helped some escape and later joined up with them. Then he attacked my ship when I came here after hearing rumours of your presence... That was four, nearly five months again. My ship was crashed by that brute. Now I want you to help me destroy him. Alone I'm no where near powerfull enough, but together..."
Kiyashi sighed, "A system was developed to drain ki from another and give it to the user. It doesn't work on us, but..." Her eyes flicked to Bulma. "Your bond is strong, even if it is only mental. Raython will do anything to hurt you, brother."
Bulma's eyes widened, "You mean he'll go for me?" She squeaked.
"He won't lay a finger on you." Vegeta growled, "Not as long as I'm alive."
"We can't track him." Kiyashi said simply, "His strength isn't ki based. It revolves around life force. We can't sense it."
"So he's going to get first strike no matter what." Vegeta groaned, "This makes things slightly more annoying."
"Nothing will even get close to you, Bulma."
Kiyashi chuckled. "I never thought I'd see the day when my brother gave his heart to another. You've done well to get this far, Chikyuu-jin." Her features hardened, "But guarding you will be difficult. We'll have to do day and night shifts and you must never be alone."
"What if I need the toilet or want to take a shower?"
"We won't watch."
"How kind."
"We're Saiya-jin, what did you expect?"
