After a rather heated discussion with Yajirobe upon returning with the necessary water to tend to the Senzu Beans that the fat oaf couldn’t seem to do by himself, Yamcha had suggested that getting some food wouldn’t be a bad idea. ”You eat in Heaven too? Sheesh, We aren’t really dead are we, just in some other realm.” Reina shook her head and motioned up to the halo over her head. ”This is just a parlor trick that Yema likes to throw out to amuse the kids, I get it I get it.” Yamcha didn’t look amused. “We don’t have to eat, but a lot of us still enjoy doing it. It’s not like our taste buds don’t work here.” It was obvious the woman hadn’t met any of the Saiyans up here, at least that was what the expression on Yamcha’s face was saying. The two of them left Yajirobe and his little garden party behind and Yamcha lead the woman towards a larger house in the distance. A large Capsule Corporation logo could be seen in the distance and Reina paused to look at Yamcha. ”We’re peddling Capsule Corporation for food?” Reina asked as she crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her fingertips against her skin for a moment. She fell into pace beside him as they walked and sighed heavily to herself. “I’ll have you know that Bulma was having a barbeque and she invited all of us. You might find your little boyfriend there.” A sudden jab to the man’s arm sent Yamcha teetering a bit as he groaned and rubbed the growing bruise there. “You’re mean you know that?” ”It’s a Saiyan thing.” She said as they were close enough now to see the gates that sectioned everything off. There was quite the gathering of people there and the tall iron gates slid open as they approached. Outside was a large grill and in front of it a tall man went to work flipping burgers and brauts and hot dogs and steaks and well any other kind of meat you could imagine there. Reina later learned he was the Ox King, Chichi’s father. Yamcha was sure to introduce Reina to everyone there. Gohan and his wife Videl had seemed nice enough, nerdy too which in a lot of ways helped the woman to relate to them. Goku had been every bit as friendly as she had heard about him in stories. She’d been honored to shake his hand, finding kindred in the Saiyan. Trunks, the half Saiyan with his odd violet hair had been next and with him she’d met Pan, Goten, Bulma, Tien, Chaioutsu, Mr. and Mrs. Briefs, Mr. Satan, Uub, Piccolo, and Krillin. Everyone she could have hoped to meet amongst the Z Fighters. Most of them seemed more interested in eating than really chatting with her, which was fine overall. While Reina had been excited to meet them, she also appreciated the meal that was being prepared and when the order was called out to come and eat she did so, gladly. The table was filled to the very brim with food. Given the sudden attacking of the food most of the men at the table exhibited Reina wasn’t surprised in the least. She’d been forced down to the side of the table where most of the women were seated, and while she didn’t mind it necessarily there was only so much girl talk the woman could put up with. “Bulma, where is that Saiyan Prince husband of your’s? Surely he smelled the food by now.” Chichi said in a quiet voice drawing Reina’s attention. The two women looked up at Reina and Bulma couldn’t help but laugh. “Where is he always?” Bulma motioned to the large spherical chamber sitting at the top of the hill some several yard away. Reina followed her hand and could see it rocking back and forth a bit. Surely he hadn’t demanded a gravitron all the way here in Heaven had he? Who was he trying to show up now? “Go and get him.” Chichi spoke up again drawing Reina’s eyes back down. “You know how he is. His stupid ass will come when he’s ready. He’ll get hungry eventually.” Bulma sighed and rested her arms on the table cupping her chin into her hand. The woman was an absolute genius, Reina had to tell herself that to keep herself from making the smart ass remarks that normally would have come second nature. “Send the new girl to go and get him. I’m sure she wants to meet him. You’re a Saiyan, right?” Chichi asked Reina then, those dark eyes finding her. Reina blinked a moment and nodded. Surely Chichi, the wife of a Saiyan could tell the difference. “Not a bad idea. He’s in the chamber, tell him his wife says this is his last warning before I take that damn machine away from him. He can afford to spend some time with us all on a day like this.” Bulma seemed set as she crossed those arms over her chest. Reina blinked a moment. “You really think he’ll listen to me?” Reina was definitely not the connoisseur of men. “He won’t listen to me. Why not give it a try?” Reina left the group at the table and trudged up the hill towards the gravitron. She could feel the energy rippling off of it as she approached and took a moment to peak in through the small opening on the front. There inside in all of his glory was the Prince of all Saiyans. What a way to be introduced… Reina’s hands moved over the keypad as Bulma had instructed and the machine automatically powered down. The door opened up and Reina stepped up inside into the dim light of the room. “GOD DAMNIT WOMAN!” His voice came out in a dull roar that made the woman pause for a moment. Vegeta stormed across the room without looking at her and bent to grab a towel that was laying on the floor by the wall. “I already told you, I have no intentions on joining that group for your house warming party. I’ve much more important things to—“ Vegeta paused when he looked up and saw the woman in the doorway wasn’t his wife at all. “Who the hell are you…?” ((1,060 Words)) |

”My name is Reina.” She said after a moment, setting those arms against her chest and wrapping her tail around her waist. Vegeta watched that leisurely movement with an arch of the brow before those dark eyes returned to her face. “A Saiyan. A woman even. I knew that my race had been restored…But.” It was surprising to find the man speechless. Had he not seen another Saiyan woman since he’d gone to Heaven? Surely he had. ”Pleased to meet you to.” She finished sarcastically as she tapped her foot slightly on the ground. Vegeta smirked and wiped his face with that towel. “Are you here to spar with me?” He asked after a moment, coming to stand before the woman only a few inches taller than she was. Reina looked up at him trying not to be intimidated by his presence. ”No – But-“ “Then don’t interrupt my training. And tell that damn woman of mine I’m not interested in being her form of entertainment for the evening.” He turned away from her and tossed the towel back to the floor where he’d retrieved it. He went to stand in front of the panel and started inputting several commands. ”Bulma is the one who sent me. She told me to tell you if you didn’t join them she’d take your little toy away. I didn’t realize the Prince answered to a human woman.” Which wasn’t true at all, she did know. It was no surprise to her in the long run. Bulma seemed to be a woman who often got her way. “Hardly, I don’t answer to anyone but me.” He said after a moment in the typical sort of smug way. “Get out.” ”Fight me.” “What?” ”I’ll spar with you, and when you’re done you can join the others.” Reina pulled her jacket off leaving that bind of wraps around her midsection. Vegeta watched her with interest, perhaps admiration. “And what makes you think you’ll even be a challenge?” Vegeta turned to the woman then his fists at either side. Reina was gone in an instant her body materializing inches in front of Vegeta and that fist lowering to meet the man’s face. Vegeta went head over heels against the far wall with enough intensity that the Gravitron itself nearly toppled over. It came crashing back down again and Reina clenched that left hand at her side while Vegeta picked himself up off the floor. The door behind Reina slid closed then and all at once the world seemed to get very…very…heavy. There was that feeling again, that energy in that room that made everything so hard withstand. Reina had trained in gravity before, but not this powerful. “What’s the matter, woman? Too much for you? Think because you got a lucky hit in I would go easy on you?” The Prince strolled up to her, like the added weight did little to effect him and he reached out to pick her up off of her knees. It took some getting used to but Reina found her feet and only when she was stable and able to stand on her own did Vegeta send the woman crashing across the room where she landed in a crumpled mess on the floor. This time though, she picked herself up, setting those eyes on the Prince with determination. He waited patiently for her to move again and only when she seemed steady on her feet did he lunge at her again. The combat was tough in the beginning and it was several rounds of blood and sweat before Reina had gotten used to the gravity to move as freely as she had before. “Try to keep up.” Vegeta chuckled as he landed yet another hit to the woman and she staggered. Her return strikes may have hit home, but Vegeta who was built like a damn tank seemed capable of taking the hits and dishing them back out plenty. Reina fought until she was near unconsciousness and unable to stand. Only then did Vegeta relinquish the gravitron’s weight and come to kneel beside her, tossing a clean towel in her face. “You have a long way to go.” But surely he had seen the potential. In that weight, Reina hadn’t had the strength to call on her next form, and with her luck the Prince would have ascended as well and the end would have been much more severe. ”Yes well, it seems I have time. Right?” She said in a quiet whisper as she looked up at him. The two shared a moment’s glance before Vegeta reached a hand down to help her back to her feet. She wondered if he was at all impressed. Quite obviously the man was more powerful than she was, but to have had the honor of even a short skirmish, that had been enough for now. Vegeta’s head snapped up then and he moved to the opening in the gravitron and looked out the window. Several presences outside had appeared and Reina moved beside him to see. “The Ginyu Force?” Reina said outloud. They were attacking the group standing there. The Z Fighters had sprung into gear against them. Vegeta slammed a hand into the panel beside him and the door slid open he and Reina leaping out into the light. Then everything stopped…while Reina may not have noticed it since the little green Ginyu had stopped time, several of the Ginyu Force had singled in around Bulma, Chichi, and Videl as they were in the midst of making their quick escape. Though what really happened took place in those few precious seconds that Reina and the others had been frozen in time. A very powerful and rather pissed of Gohan illuminated in the golden light of his kind stood over Guldo a hand around the little man’s neck. It had all been in the blink of an eye as far as Reina was concerned. The other Z fighters had made short work of the group there. From where she was she could hardly make out Gohan’s quiet threats to the man. The usual, ‘threaten my friends or family again, I’ll take you to hell myself.’ The usual hero speech really. Reina shook her head and set those arms at her sides, thankful the threat was over. “Do these guys just never give up?” She asked Vegeta as she turned to look at the man. However, Vegeta was gone. She turned in time to see the door to the Gravitron slide shut and shook her head for a moment with a laugh. It was good to see that some things never changed. ((1,107 Words)) |
