~ Unknown Destiny ~ Chapter Six Well, It seems I’ll be writing with my writers block for awhile so once it’s gone expect most of these chapters to be revised. This chapter is going to finally have a private scene between Usagi and Vegeta! =~-^= Oh yeah. I had Usagi have wings when she transformed because I just couldn’t see her actually turning into a giant, furry, out of control wear monkey. *shrugs* It actually works well with my story as well. Hope you like this chapter! Ja ne! =^-^= Notes: * * - Personal thoughts --------- - Short passage of time or changee of character/room ~The Forest~ Usagi blinked her eyes in shock at the sight. This soon turned to curiosity and she started studying the newly grown appendages. *After all, I’ve already had wings when I was Sailor Moon. This is probably going to be no different.* The wings, she noticed, were much larger than when she had fought Chaos. So large that she had to close them tight against her body to be able to turn in the closed in space of the trees. They also looked more durable and she grasped one of the feathers in reach, careful not to pull on it too much, and studied it closer. The feather was a pearly white and the edges glinted in the moonlight. *At least they are pretty.* She smiled slightly at the thought and ran her finger along the shimmering edge. She had barely touched it when she suddenly pulled her hand away with a yelp of pain. *It cut me!* She stuck the injured digit in her mouth and sucked on it until the pain was gone. *These things sure are sharp. If I’m not careful I could injure myself just sitting still!* The wind blew once again and Usagi ended up with strands of her golden tresses blowing into her face and catching on the sharp edges of her feathers. *Great. If I know Pluto she’ll be rushing her as soon as she can. If I can’t even see because of this hair than how am I going to get away? I . . I don’t want to talk to Pluto right now.* With a quick glance around her eyes settled on her wings. She shook her head with a frown. *It’d hurt too much! Not just pulling one out but probably cutting myself too!* She then reached her hand out and grabbed a moonbeam right out of the air. *Now I’m glad Mother taught me this little trick! To think she wanted me to use it to make dresses or jewelry!*Usagi shook her head with a smile. She pulled and tugged at the pale light as though it were taffy. Finally, she had what resembled a short, if rough, knife. She sighed but pulled a handful of hair tight, preparing to cut it. *I guess now I won’t be called meatball head anymore.* Her eyes watered slightly as the name reminded her of her friends from the other dimension. *Rei. Seiya. Haruka. I miss them all so much. But this is my home. This is where I belong and where I’m going to stay.* She closed her eyes, causing the tears to spill out, and sliced through her hair. -------- Not far from where Usagi had hidden herself a familiar figure is racing towards her. His spiky black hair and permanent scowl were clearly visible in the light of the full moon. Vegeta. After he had wished the moon back into existence locating Usagi’s ki had been quite easy. He had sped away and Sailor Pluto had kept anyone else from following him. For that he was grateful. He reached a cliff and slowed down some. *Her ki isn’t far from here. I’d better slow down so I don’t end up scaring her away.* He drifted towards the forest and then above it. He continued his slow speed, scanning the forest floor below him the whole while. He was barely 50 yards from the tree Usagi was in when he spotted her. He didn’t recognize her at first. The wings and jaggedly cut hair disguised her identity. "Usagi." With a gasp the girl dropped something which quickly disappeared to the forest floor. Her surprised face was quickly covered by a mask of indifference. Vegeta continued to her branch as she watched with emotionless eyes. *Why does she have wings?! Why’d she cut her hair and why is she glowing?!* She was, indeed, glowing with a light as pale as that from the moon above. Her eyes followed him as he landed on the thick branch next to her. They continued the staring contest until Vegeta felt something break inside of him. With a sigh he lowered his eyes in defeat as Usagi watched in astonished silence. "I’m sorry." He kept his head lowered as the blond’s jaw dropped. *Did he just say. . . sorry?* The blond nervously ran her fingers through her now short hair. *Do I forgive him? He is my father after all. I understand now why he did what he did earlier. * She felt tears once again well up in her eyes and she smiled as she realized that, yes, she had forgiven him. With a sob she jumped forward and hugged him tightly. "I’m sorry tousan! I’m so sorry I ran away from you all. I just. . ." Her voice trailed off as she started sobbing against him. Vegeta was looking down at her in surprise. He had only been hugged by one person in his whole life and that person was this girls human mother. *But this is my . . . daughter. My heir.* With a small smile he prepared to hug her back. AS his hands reached her back, however, they met with a painful surprise however and he drew back from the blond. Usagi was hurt when she felt him pull away but when she saw his hands she gasped. They were bleeding! "Are you okay tousan?! I’m sorry! It’s . . .these wings." His head had been lowered as he examined the deep cuts but it flew back up to stare her in the face. "Why do you have wings girl?" Usagi sighed and tore the bottom edge of her shirt off and started wrapping the bleeding hand. She pulled it tight and started her explanation. "I don’t really know why I have wings. I was sitting here, trying to communicate with my mother, Queen Serenity, when suddenly my back started hurting. The next thing I knew I had wings." She shrugged and sat down on the branch, Vegeta following suit. Vegeta stared up at the moon for a few moments when it came to him. He turned to her with a small smirk. "Were you looking directly at the moon?" Usagi wrinkled her brow in confusion but nodded her head. Vegeta shook his head slightly. "You must have transformed but I have no idea why you have wings. You should have changed into an oozaru since you have your tail." Usagi wrinkled her nose and started swinging her legs. "Oozaru? What’s that?" Vegeta continued staring at the moon. Usagi was watching the way the light her skin gave off caused different shadows on the branch and trunk of the tree. She was still quite nervous around this new found father of hers. "Oozaru is what we call the transformed state of a saiyan. When we see the light of the full moon when we have our tails then we transform into a gigantic were ‘monkey’. It causes our power to increase ten fold." Vegeta noticed Usagi’s little light show and smirked slightly. Usagi looked up at the moon thoughtfully, her interest in her self illumination momentarily lost. "So, I should be a big monkey? I think I’d rather have the wings." Vegeta snorted as a response and Usagi giggled slightly. Her face suddenly grew more solemn. "Did Pluto send you to come get me?" Vegeta rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to the darker parts of the forest. "That baka woman? No. I came by myself and specifically told everyone else to stay put." Usagi nodded her head but then turned away. She lowered her gaze to the branch they were sitting on and started tugging nervously on the shards of bark. "Are you going to make me go back there?" Vegeta blinked and frowned slightly. "Why not? If you want to get training from me than you’d have to go back. Otherwise, you’ll not be able to use the gravity machine." Usagi’s eyes had lit up when he spoke of training. "Really?! You mean you really want to train me?!" She clasped her hands together in anticipation of the response and her eyes shined. Vegeta smirked at her and crossed his arms. "Of course. You are my heir after all and therefore need to be trained by me." Usagi’ eyes started watering again and Vegeta frowned. *Why is she going to cry now? Females are weak when it comes to emotions. At least I know that my daughter isn’t weak.* He smirked at the thought but then frowned at Usagi. "Why are you crying now girl?" Usagi just wiped her eyes and smiled brightly at him. "Don’t worry . . .tousan. I’m just very happy that’s all. Just yesterday I would never have thought that I would get the chance to actually train with my father. The king of the saiyans." She looked at him happily and smiled and Vegeta couldn’t help but smile back at his proud daughter. "Come on then girl. We’d better go before that woman starts pitching a fit." He turned to get ready to fly away when Usagi stopped him. "Woman? Do you mean Pluto again?" Usagi tilted her head a little and furrowed her brow. Vegeta smirked at her as she stood next to him. "No. I’m talking about my mate. Bulma." Usagi stared for a few seconds and than started giggling. "You actually call her ‘woman’ and get away with it?!" Vegeta just smirked and watched as she rose slowly into the air. After clearing the tops of the trees she opened her wings, catching Vegeta by surprise. "Why’d you do that girl? You don’t need them to fly." He frowned as she flapped them a few times experimentally. After, she held still he lifted into the air as well. Usagi smiled and shook her head. "Naw. I don’t need them to fly but it was really fun to fly with my wings when I fought Chaos, even though I was fighting at the time. Now I’m going to try it again, without having to worry about being attacked or anything." Vegeta just shook his head but stayed a safe distance from the glowing girl and her razor sharp wings. He nodded his head in the correct direction and they started off. ~Somewhere in Space~ The dark void known as space is home to many alien species with many alien customs. It is also home to many thieves, pirates, and self proclaimed rulers. One such ruler was seated in the personal chambers of his war ship reading star maps. Damion Artice was of an unknown alien race but he hardly seemed alien at all. His overly pale skin and strangely luminescent eyes set him apart however. As well as the fact that his hair was silver with bold streaks of pale red mixed in. Truly, he was quite a sight to see. Damion brushed his hair from his eyes and sighed in frustration but continued plotting his route. He wished to find the quickest course to the third planet of a distant solar system. During one of his routine checks for suitable planets for conquest he had telepathically stumbled upon a what was for him a pleasant surprise. A girl. He had been wearing a device that helped amplify his brain waves, making his telepathic searches much more successful. As he was scanning through an unknown solar system he was frozen as a simple message rang through his head. It had been someone calling for their mother. Damion had thought it to be a trick of some kind or a deliberate intrusion to the difficult task he was performing and had been about to respond quite angrily when a sudden image flashed through his thoughts. Damion held his breath as he once again focused his thoughts upon his first glimpse of the angel. A young girl who looked to be not much younger than the ruler. A girl with shimmering blond hair and wide pleading blue eyes. Her eyes seemed to pierce his very soul and the sadness they conveyed prompted him to learn more of her. Using the amplifier to it’s capacities he focused entirely upon the girl and watched her. She continued pleading with her unseen mother to answer her call and when it appeared a fruitless endeavor she stopped her calls and that’s when things really grew interesting for the silver haired ruler. She had grown wings. Damion had been quite confused by this strange development but his confusion soon turned to excitement as he noticed something he had earlier overlooked. *She had a tail. A white tail. She is a saiyan. I had thought they were all dead but I guess I was wrong. Now I find out that not only are they not extinct but there is a living albino. I had heard of only one other of their race growing wings in their transformed state and she also was fair of hair and eyes. She will be quite a prize to be won.* He smirked at the thought and drew the final line to his new course. At the end of the fine line was a small green circle. "Earth." Damion said as he rolled up the chart and headed to the navigational center of his ship. +~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ So, how’d you like it? Gomen for not getting it out sooner but school has been hectic lately. I give the credit for the name Damion Artice to my friend M-Chan. *waves and grins foolishly* Thanks again M-chan! =~-^= Ja ne minna san and I hope to hear that you liked this! =~-~=;; stonekid@etv.net Tsukino Neko =~-^=
