Stains of Crimson

Part 3

Rain slid down the window, and her face leaned against the window. She was deep in thought. She knew she had to do something. She’d taken care of her own problems. But there was a soul in need out there. But what can I do? She’s stronger than me, that’s evident. She should be able to help herself....

Before Bra could finish her thoughts, a knock came on the door. A servant poked her head in and told her Lady Pan, Lord Uub and King Goten would be arriving within an hour. Bra nodded and said her thanks.

Her mind was on anything but that though. When Bra had proved herself stronger than Marron, she had decided to banish the blonde. But it hadn’t been that easy.

*Flashback*

“WHAT?!? You can’t banish me you little tramp!” Marron screeched. “Sire, you can’t mean to let her banish ME! I thought...”

Trunks raised a hand and Marron shut up. She stood at attention immediatly. “Lady Marron, I hear by strip you of your title. Princess Bra, do you REALIZE the affect banishing Marron will have on our kingdom? ; She controls our army for crying out loud!”

“I’ll take control of the army. I’m sure I can do a better job of it than she can. Besides, brother, just because you don’t want to lose your ‘toy’ doesn’t mean you can change the rules. I banish her. As the Princess I have the right to do that. And I’ve proven myself, her apprentice, stronger than she.” Bra stated calmly, her arms crossed, the spitting image of a female Vegeta.

Trunks sighed and waved a dismissive hand; the guards entered the room and started to drag Marron away. However, it wasn’t that easy. The towering blonde fought back and the guards were nothing but flies compared to her.

Frowning, Bra stepped in and decked Marron in the face. Trunks nor Marron saw her move to do it. Marron just fell flat on her back. Two more guards entered the room and dragged her out.

The whole thing had made a huge scene, and Bra apologized to Trunks quite a few times for ruining the floor while powering up, banishing Marron and a few other things. Overall, they knew Marron wouldn’t be gone for long. And Trunks... Trunks had mixed feelings on the whole subject. He wanted Marron there, but he also wanted her gone.

*End Flashback*

Bra sighed and stood up. Stretching in an almost feline like way, she got dressed in the nicest clothes she could find. Here’s what makes me not feel bad about Lady Marron... I get to have a decent wardrobe!

As soon as she was done, Bra walked out the door. Happiness and guilt were the main emotions that were toiling away inside of her. But she pushed them aside, and looked forward to seeing Lord Uub again. He’s actually quite strong... Lacking a little in the looks department, but he’d make a good mate... Though, I’m sure I can do better than him.

-------------------------

Uub stopped outside the gates. Pan stood loyally in between Goten and himself. At first, her eyes were glued to the ground as if it were the one thing in the world keeping her alive. Then she looked up.

Baby blue eyes met up with the ice blue eyes of the Eastern Vegetan grin. The lady allowed a small smile to grace her lips, and she looked back down at the ground. She sensed the king had a kind, warm soul. Unlike her uncle.

Goten’s rock hard obsidian eyes looked from Bra to Trunks, shifting back and forth between the two. Then he bowed briefly, putting no real emotion, let alone respect into the bow.

“King Trunks, I am King Goten of Western Vegeta. My right hand man, Lord Uub, told me you requested my presence here. This was the time he came to you with my request for a mate...” Goten trailed off, his voice emotionless. Two piercing steel blue eyes had caught his attention from the surface.

From the person’s ki, Goten could tell it was a female. And her ki was high. Possibly higher than what he could tell of Princess Bra’s. The eyes looked at him for a little longer, and then, with a promise to see him later that was conveyed through the eyes, the figure disappeared.

“King Goten? King Goten are you there?” Trunks asked, now facing Goten. He was waving his hand in front of the Western Vegetan King.

Acting on automatic reflex, Goten’s hand flew up and grabbed Trunks’. For a while, it hurt, but Trunks soon got used to the pain. Then he went back to trying to snap Goten out of it. When he found he couldn’t, he looked pleadingly at Uub and Pan.

Pan grinned slightly, and walked up to her uncle. She whispered ‘food’ in his ear and his attention immediatly flew to her.

“WHERE?!”

She nearly fell over laughing, and Uub caught her as she fell backwards. Uub just chuckled and said something about a ‘typical Saiya-jin response.’ Trunks sweatdropped.

“Would you like to come in? I mean you don’t just want to stand here all day do you?” Trunks asked, pointing towards the door. “I’ve got people waiting to show you around. And Lady Pan, I’m sure you and Princess Bra would get along fine. I’ve designated her to be your tour guide for today. You’ll be here for a week. You might want to know your surroundings.” Trunks smiled a half smirk at her, and Bra noted the look on his brother’s face.

Oooii! The pervert! Bra thought, a slight spark of anger appearing down in her soul. Why? She had no idea. But she smiled brightly at Pan and they headed into the castle.

Goten felt compelled to just follow his host, King Trunks. Uub lingered behind though. Then he felt a hand wrap around his neck and pull him back into the bushes. He tried to fight back, but the had was small and dainty; that of a female’s.
