| The Symphony of Pain By Pandora Disclaimer; I guess I don’t own a bunch of stuff… & Warnings: Vegeta X Frieza, rape, angst, violence, sadness.. Part 1 A secret revealed 1. In the bowels of Frieza’s spaceship, Zarbon was preparing himself for a night with his master. He brushed his long silky green hair till it shone and let it fall delicately over his shoulders. With a dash of blue eyeliner, he accentuated his big yellow eyes and with a make up brush he just added the slightest touch of pink on his high cheekbones. As he tingled his lips and looked into the mirror, it occurred to him how dashing he looked. A seductive smile appeared on his face. Master Frieza was lucky to enjoy the company of such a handsome young man as himself. Zarbon had worshiped his master since he was a young boy fighting in his army. He got singled out by him because of his exceptional fighting skills. First, his master acted cold and reluctant towards him, which was the way he acted towards anyone else. However as time went by, he and Frieza got very attached to each other, and he discovered another side of him which was softer and more gentle. A side that the ruthless tyrant never showed in front of his other subjects. Zarbon would never admit it in the open, and if he dare to speak out his secret relationship with his master, Frieza was sure to send his "lover "into the next dimension, but deep down, he knew that he and his cold master were in fact in love. "I will give you something special tonight master Frieza, Your Zarbon is ready to be at your service…" Zarbon’s smile widened and with one elegant movement, he guided a lost lock of green hair that was falling in front of his eyes back behind his ears. Two silver earring, one shaped like a droplet, the other shaped like a snowflake were dangling under his earlobes, the latter was a precious gift from his master, his secret lover… 2. "I don’t want this filth! How dare you to serve me this!!! Only the sight of it ruins my appetite!!" A fishlike like man was holding up a service tray with two shaking hands, his eyes were wide and sweat ran down his temple like miniature rivers. The master he was serving was hovering above the ground in his mobile throne. His otherwise pale face flushed dark purple and his thick tail swept around like that of an angry lizard’s. "B-but M-master Frieza, I’ve just ordered the cook to make you dinner as usual, deep-fried Namek skin with union rings, a juicy Moasin steak and a two liter flask of Fristy Raspberries. It-it’s your favorite!" "I decide what I LIKE and what I DON’T LIKE you fishbrain! And for now, I absolutely DON’T like a certain servant who thinks he can make decisions for me…." A bright white light ignited on the tip of Frieza’s finger; it illuminated the tyrant’s strange features in the darkness of the throne-room. The fish creature turned blue in the face as he stared back at his own eminent death. "N-No Sir!! Please!! I was just carrying out your orders!!! I will bring you what ever you want sir, Please, SPARE ME!!!" The faintest of smiles appeared on Frieza’s dark lips, "Too late…" A light beam, small in size but extremely powerful blasted of and hit the unfortunate servant in the chest. The man’s slippery body start to incinerate, flesh burnt away from the bones within seconds. As the flash faded, the charcoal remains of Frieza’s once foolish servant was still standing, black holes where ones the eyes have been stared back at the conscienceless murderer. Frieza grinned contently, "The first one who blast the head gets a thousand points." Just as Frieza gather some ki for a second blast, the lifeless corpse that was smoldering in front of him exploded in a rain of black ash. A piece of the fishhead’s jaw landed next to the tyrant’s feet. He looked at it with not event he faintest trace of surprise on his face. One word escaped his dark lips. "Zarbon.." The young warrior entered, his long cape flaring behind him. A wicked grin adorned his face as he spoke to his beloved master. "I didn’t know we were having sushi tonight master Frieza, did you finally get enough of that deep fried cuisine you were so fond of?" His smile quickly disappeared as he noticed his master’s face. He had been long enough with him to know the difference between kidding around time and potentially life threatening situations like this one. His master was obviously in a VERY bad mood tonight. "Uh, master Frieza, I’m sorry to disturb you. I really am, but you’ve invited me for diner tonight so I thought… Frieza’s eyes stayed transfixed upon the fish creature's remains scattered at his feet. Zarbon knew that it was really bad if his master didn’t even give him a look into the face. A sweat broke on Zarbon’s back. Although he knew that he was Frieza’s little favorite, his master's mood swings could bring anybody however close to him in danger. "Zarbon…I was just gathering ki to blast that corpse away myself…you’ve ruined it for me and now I need another corpse to practice on…" Suddenly, Frieza stared back at his young acquaintance, his dark eyes sparkled with the ruthlessness that the Zarbon knew and feared so well. " Or maybe I should just practice on you…" Zarbon started to panic as his internal DANGER!! MASTER IS PISSED!!! Alarm went in overdrive and his usual cool and calm facade was replaced by a desperate attempt to save his life.. "N-no master Frieza!! I’m sorry to have interrupted your shooting session, I truly am!" "Sorry is not enough Zarbon, besides, only weaklings are sorry about anything in their life." "Please master Frieza! I just wanted to see you. I-I missed you when you were gone on the Orion mission. We haven’t seen each other in private for almost 8 months now. Surely I don’t deserve to be punished for that…" Relief washed over Zarbon’s tensed body as he noticed his master’s face lighten up a bit. He had hit the right button with this display of his emotions towards the relentless master. If he could calm him down before his temper flared up again, he might just survive to experience another day. "Master Frieze, you know what I feel for you. Please Sir, don’t punish me just because I couldn’t control my foolish feelings." Zarbon looked at his master with his yellow eyes, begging for his forgiveness. Frieza’s cold heart melt, with the look his young friend was giving him he could never do him any harm. He sighted, and lowered his hand slowly. He had to control his temper, it didn’t take much more or he had blasted the only living creature in the universe he had ever cared for to the next dimension. He leaned back at his throne, his face showing tired and bitterness. Now his life was no longer in threat, Zarbon started to worry about his beloved master. It seemed as if he was troubled by something; as if he was dealing with a problem too big to handle even for the God-like tyrant’s powers. In Zarbon’s eyes, his master should be undefeatable…but now, the expression on his face was that of a beaten man. "No Zarbon, you don’t have to apologize any longer, it’s not you…It’s …" "What’s wrong master Frieza? What’s bothering you?" Frieza remained silent or a moment, hesitating to share his dark secret with his young friend. But then, he had shared more then only his power and wealth with him; Zarbon was his trustworthy acquaintance, his friend, his mate…. Zarbon’s intoxicating eyes, as bright like the stars, kept staring back at him, patiently, worried and showing his love for him with every blink Zarbon made. He realized how different they were from those of Vegeta, the young Saiyan prince he had enslaved. The proud warrior’s eyes were black as the night’s sky and when he looked in them, he found nothing but coldness and deeply buried hate towards him. How he wished that this young prince’s eyes were more like that of Zarbon’s… He sighed deeply, before he wet his lips to speak he truth to his beloved friend, sadness sounded trough his calm voice. "It's Vegeta Zarbon…But promise me never to tell anybody-else about this or I will be forced to send you to another dimension. " "Vegeta!? What did he do master? Did he offend you?" Zarbon clenched his fists, that stupid monkey! What did he think that he was? A prince? He’s nothing more then a leftover from yesterday’s dish du jour! How could such lowlife even dare to trouble his master? "If you wish master Frieza, I could teach that young brat a lesson he will never forget! He’s going to regret the day that he opposes the great Frieza!! I will rip his arms off! I will lynch him with his hairy monkey tail! I will cut off his balls and stuff his loud mouth with …" "ZARBON! I don’t want you to hurt him!" The young warrior held his stream of rambling. He looked at his master, confused. "But master Frieza, if he has challenged your superiority, he surely deserves his punishment!" "He didn’t oppose me Zarbon, although I can sense ever present anger, he’s not yet been foolish enough to show his disloyalty in front of me." "But what is it then master? Why are you so bothered by this measly ape that it has even caused you to lose your appetite? WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG THEN!?" Frieza had to swallow a large lump in his throat before he could bare his soul to his young friend. He had trouble vocalizing his dark desires, the emotions he had suppressed into a dark corner of his mind for so long. "I-I feel for the brat Zarbon….These long months together with him on the ship while we were on our mission to Orion gave me the time to notice him… to observe him thoroughly. He has always struck a sensitive cord in me Zarbon, ever since he was a child and he was brought to my by his father. But he has also always been foolishly stubborn and hostile towards me, forcing me to raise him with a violent hand. But the last 8 months I've spend so much time with him. Our young prince has changed, he’s still fed by the fuel of hate and his unspoken desire to eliminate me, but he has also matured like a piece of sweet summer fruit. Although his foolish pride and bad attitude angers me, I can’t deny that his presence awakens…..certain feelings in me." Zarbon was shocked, his master desired VEGETA?!! How could this be? That despicable Saiyan loudmouth? That arrogant little prick? How could his master fall for HIM of all people?! "B-But master Frieza…How..I mean WHY? Don’t you know that you can’t rely on the traitorous little brad! He has never been loyal to you Sir, it would be a mistake to gave him your trust! " "I know YOU LEAFHEAD! If course he’s deceiving unreliable little rat!! But I CAN’T HELP IT ZARBON!! I keep dreaming about him..Every where I look I see his face and I can’t get his voice out of my head!! It’s just as if he had cursed me or something. It’s just VERY confusing; I can’t do anything that doesn’t remind me of him…" Frieza paused for a moment; his pale hands clenched slowly into fists while his black lips pulled into a bitter grin. "The most cruel part is that fate has made me fall into the spell of one of my own enemies. The young brat despises me, he’s poisoned with anger because I’ve enslaved his proud race. He wouldn’t even think twice if he had the chance to finish me off, and if he knew the truth about his people, he wouldn’t hesitate to fight me now, even if it would mean his inevitable defeat. But still…" Frieza looked up and saw the shocked expression on his young friends face, the slightest glimpse of pleasure entered his heart as he thought of how jealous Zarbon now probably was right now after he had told him about his hidden feelings for Vegeta. Zarbon was so sexy when he was angry. Well, at least if he didn’t turn into that hideous buffed up monster that is… "Master Frieza, you can’t have Vegeta! At least not alive! The little space monkey is not like ME Sir! He’s too proud and too stupid to keep his mouth shut after you’re done with him! You’ll end up to be the laughing stock of whole planet Frieza!! Zarbon immediately regretted his words as he saw Frieza’s pale cheeks flush deep purple with anger. His heart skipped a beat as he saw his master’s hand raising with it’s index finger pointing at him while his eyes turned dark like a stormy sky. "M-Master, P-Please." "I want him Zarbon." Frieza whispered low and dangerously like a poisonous snake; "I want to tame this sweet prince and make him MINE. We’ll have to find a way to break his pride so he will never be able to speak to about our little secret." Zarbon’s eyes widened in fear, he sensed darkness in his master that even he had never seen sensed before. A demon, hidden away for years and fed with his master’s forbidden desires had been unleashed and worked its way to the surface. For this instance, he wouldn’t trade places with the young prince for all the ki of the universe. "Yes.." and Frieza curled his tail anxiously; "I think I have finally found a way to bring our young warrior on his knees…." |
