chapter nine

(same day- now mid after noon before leaving for battle.)

Blue crystal eyes where wide as they begged for something out of desperation. Her white suit clinging to her body as she stood on her knees, her white jump suit in the shape of bathing suit with a flap hanging in the front and the back, a red rose in bordered on the side above her hip.

Her breast swelled against the fabric as she heaved with tears and steady breaths. Her zipper sliding down as she sucked in her breath before her final words slipped out of her mouth.

�Please, I am begging you King Vegeta, take me prisoner they will not attack! Not if you have me. I see no bravery in this war. I have seen birth and peace, I have seen death and lived to see a lover�s final breath, both resting on my name. Do you see my guilt?�

Her golden hair in pig tails framing her face with soft waves gave away who she was alone. She didn�t need her royal suit, her crown, nor her to say a word.

�Princess Marron of the Rose Family, there are children here with arms stretched out to stand against your people in hate, to see them destroyed before they come and kill them. I see no bravery in what you are doing, you will die tonight but I will kill you before your Kings eyes so he can feel my fire.� Vegeta hissed at that the young woman, his body coming up to hers as he place his hand under her chin lifting her head up.

Her eyes locked with his as tears streamed down her plump lips as they parted.

�Look into my eyes and tell me you do not see the fire of hesitation burning bright? To stop this war!�

�I see a woman of pity trying to save something that is not worth saving. Who is to say we kill you to make him stop that he will not continue to strike again later for no reason other than greed? Who will die then to stop a war? �

�I have already contacted all Kings that lay rest in this empire, please instead of this war let them decide our fate, my family�s fate. If I can give myself as a prisoner of war to hold as insurance he will not attack then use me, abuse me, I don�t care.�

�Your rather cocky to think we would not kill you Princess Marron, or did you think just because you are a princess an woman that we would not? So what good would be a dead pawn in the game of war?� Bulma spoke up, her voice catching all attention in the room.

�Because fate will have it that I helped your musuke when he crashed on my planet and now it is time to pay respect for a debt that he owes me. �

�What did you say child?� Vegeta snapped at her, his hand wrapping around her neck now, lifting her to stand. His aura flaring around him.

�I helped him, I gave him the disk on how we �evolve� into what we are now. On the plans of attack that are laid out for future planets. I gave him aid, but he didn�t know it was me. I sent a servant to do my bidding.�

�Lie!� Bulma yelled as she stood now.

�No, I am telling you the truth, ask him. Please why can�t you see I am not my tousama!� Marron snapped back.

Vegeta let her go, dropping her to the ground.

�King Vegeta, you should know better than anyone. Has not your own musuke, Prince Trunks keep his hands clean from the blood that covered yours when you where young? All I am asking is that you use me, let the council decide my family�s fate. If they exile them then so be it but as long as you have me they will not attack. He is my tousama, and he loves me.�

Marron closed her eyes as she spoke those last words but for only a second and then her eyes snapped open and slanted down as she glared at Vegeta, her fire was burning bright now! Her heart pounded out of discomfort as her breathes could be heard now coming from her nose.

�Fine, a meeting will be held tomorrow night in this house and you will be bound to this house as a prisoner of trade for no war. You will be treated like any other royal house member, but treed light I will not be made a fool twice by your family name?� Vegeta said stepping back as he sat in his chair in the royal chambers.

Bulma sat there in silence and held her tongue as she study the young woman now.

�Then it�s settled, but only on one more condition, no one in your house will touch me while I lay rest here until my family punishment is settled. � she said rising to her feet now as she stood still.

�You have my word, no one will touch you or punish you but me and me alone.� Vegeta said.

�Princess Marron, I will show you to your quarters now.� Lexmark said as he came walking down the side of Vegeta�s chair and to her. Her eyes soften a bit, Lexmark was far from a saiya-jinn. His hand reached out for hers as she stood still for a second and then let a sigh out and placed hers in his.

His build was quit nice, standing 6 feet even and not large muscles but medium build. His skin was something she had never seen before, it was a light green. And his hair was silver, pulled loosely into a pony tail. His check bones where high and defined with eyes slightly slanted with sharp eyebrows. Those ruby eyes hiding something of the past as wisdom seamed to be placed all over his face.

�Just plain beautiful.� Marron whispered to herself as she walked next to him in silence to her room now in this massive castle that would confine her to a horrid reality of being her death wish.

*****************************

�Prince Trunks, your tousama request you and Princess Pan�s presence on our planet for a consul meeting tomorrow. There has been a change of plans.�

Trunks eyes snapped open, as the voice spoke harsh to him from the door. His body resting behind Pan�s, his arms pressing her close to him.

He knew that voice.

Pan moaned his name softly as she started to stir, her body rising up. Her eyes fixing on the person at her chamber door.

�Thank you Kara, we will be leaving shortly.� He said as he keep his hold on Pan�s waist, awake now as she growled at the woman in her doorway.

Kara�s eyes widen at the sight of Pan�s neck, she was taken now.

It was complete, her and Trunks. Turning oh her heel she clenched her fist at her side as she wanted to do nothing more than smack the face of that raven hair princess and break her neck.

The door slamming shut Trunks let go of Pan as he moved out of the bed to dress himself.

�Get dressed, there has been a change in plans Pan.�

Pan simple nodded at him as she followed suit, dressing herself and pulling her hair back.

She went to reach for the door, but was stopped as her arm was pulled on and she was spun around. Trunks hands cupped her face, pressing his lips against her gently for a moment and the pulling away.

�One day I will make love to you when you are ready instead of this heated primal need we share for one another. To have you feel soft feather touches and wet lips. Soon Princess Pan, I will make love to you the only way a man knows how to a woman.�

His hand still cupped her face as her eyes fluttered before him, her heart pounded against her chest. She didn�t want to move, she didn�t want to fight, she didn�t want to fight him, she wanted him that very second to make love to her. It was that moment she knew she would let him make love to her.

"Ai shiteru. Watashi no koishii Saiya-jin no Ouji, Trunks" she thought to herself in her native language that only the royal still spoke.

He leaned in again and pressed his lips against her forehead, �Don�t be afraid of me Pan, don�t be afraid to say that to me.� He said softly still holding her face.

�You heard me?. .� she gasped at him, her eyes wide as day now, staring at him.

�You are me, you are inside me.� He said pulling back and tapping his finger against his temple.

�Now, we must go.� He said pushing the door open, taking her hand in his and holding it as they walked down the hall.

*******************************

Bulma sat steal in her chair as she still tried to figure out what had just happened, that woman, Princess Marron. How did she get here? What was really going through her head?�

�Vegeta, can we trust her?� she asked as she looked at her husband.

�Yes, we will have to and tomorrow when everyone arrives this will end once and for all about the Nagago�s race, rather they shall live or be exterminated?� Vegeta said as he looked back at his wife.

�What do you mean their race? I thought she would be the trade?� Bulma asked as she looked confused.

�The council will not see it that way, its either they will let them live and banned them from any planet alliance or they will be marked as a treat that needs to be eliminated. I do not believe the child knows what she has got herself into. She is just pawn to help her people tomorrow.�

�Well what about us Vegeta, what if they turn the tables and they look at us as a race that needs to be executed if this is about not letting a race evolve to be to powerful for fear of them whipping out other nations.�

Bulma just looked at him as she stood now, crawling into his lap as she laid her head against his chest as his heart beat. He just sat there, doing nothing, his arms at his sides.

He looked down at her, �What are you doing foolish woman?� he asked harshly at her.

�Your heart never lies.� She said simply as she knew she was right in thinking if the tables where turn.

His arms wrapped around her tightly now, lips pressing against the top of her head.

�Yes, I know.� He answered back to both her question and statement.

�I have killed many Bulma, whipped out races with out a second thought and then I meet you and changed all because you are my weakness and I hate you for it. So Trunks will lead our people tomorrow, too many elders will know my face as the one from a long time ago, not the one now.� He spoke softly to her, cradling her in his arms.

�Then you need to show them.� She whispered back at him.

***********************************

They where all there, on planet Vegeta-sei. Walking through the castle with restless minds and heavy hearts at the new turn of events.

Pan sat next to Trunks in the thrown room, her hands grasping for his as she felt completely lost here. Fidgeting her fingers between his, finally he pulled her into his lap as he held her side ways.

�Does it bothers you that much to be here?� I finally asked her as I held her.

�Your tousama appointed you to speak for us tomorrow?� she asked already knowing the answer. I could smell her from outside the door when I was told I would by my tousama when we landed here.

�Yes, and I will.� And do so proudly and steady.

�Why? You are not a King, this is his empire.� She snorted back, her voice still soft as she nuzzled her face on the side of my neck.

�He is a King that has to much blood on his hands, I am a Prince that has been making atonements for the past sins. I need them to listen, and listen well to me. I want them to see us as a neighboring planet but a race not to be toyed with.�

She inhaled my sent as I looked down, her chest rising and falling with the breath she took. Finally she sat up, straddling me face forward, those smoky eyes questioning me.

�How will you make them trust us and fear us at the same time? And what makes you think that we are not the same as the Nagago�s ?�

�Because I will have the power of seven saiya-jinn all who can ascend super saiya-jinn level one standing behind me, making everyone feel our power as it will silence them all to simply listen to me.� I said back, my hands holding her hips steady.

�So you want to break all of their e silly ki readers they have strapped over their eyes? I�m sure they will be able to feel it though through their skin if we all stand.� She said smiling now.

�Amused now?�

�Almost, now show me around. Tell me stories of this place.� She said quickly

�Pan, when this is done tomorrow I will marry you the next day and you will live here with me.� I said keeping my hands on her hips still, she just looked at me.

My eyes dared her to object as I glared at her.

�I will kill Kara, you know that.� She said simply, resting her head now on my shoulder..

�She will be moved to Chikyuu, with Bra. Goten is taking her back so they can lay at rest there and marry.�

�Fine.� Was all she said as she growled at me slightly in announce.

�Now lets go to bed.� I said, lifting her up as I cradled her in my arms, her head resting against my shoulder as she nestled against me.

�Trunks, make love to me tonight.� She whispered softly as we walked to our chambers.

�"Ai shiteru, ore no koishii Pan-chan." I replied back as I now enter our room and lay her on the bed. She looked at me as those words left my mouth in our native tongue.

�And Kamie, how I did love this woman.�
