Vegeta's POV

I sighed as I walked to ara's room. I didn't mean to harm her so badly. And even though me and Zeno know it I still felt guilty. I sighed.

"Dad.." I heard Ara say. I assumed she was sleeptalking so I ignored it.

Suddenly she pulled on my hair sharply and glares at me sleepily with a drunk blush on her cheeks. If the blush wasn't there she would have almost looked like she did when she was a baby. That's how I remembered her getting my attention anyway.. pulling my hair as hard as she could and then glaring at me.

"Yes ?.." I asked. She didn't answer and kept glaring at me.

"Zeno do you know what the hell she wants ?" I asked. He smirked slightly. "Maybe. Why should I tell you shorty ?" He asked.

"Because I'm her father asshole" I replied glaring at him.

"Oh and you've done an amazing job at that haven't you ?" Zeno said. I rolled my eyes and when I looked back into my arms she was asleep again.

Zeno sighed. "She did that as a kid when she had a nightmare.. She'd pull my hair as an indicator so Seth wouldn't know" suddenly he took her out of my arms. "Now if you'll excuse us 'your highness' I've got to look after your drunk daughter and her friend" he finished and left.

Zeno's POV

When I went into the room I saw Mikey was already asleep which was a good sign. I smiled to myself and then put Ara beside him. I climbed up into my bunk and I felt like someone was watching me. It sent a weird yet familiar shiver up my spine. I shook my head and ignored it.

The next morning we were woken up by banging. Loud banging. It was bulma knocking on the door. The kids were still asleep and I glared at the door slightly.

"Yes ?.." I asked in an annoyed tone.

"Get up ! We need to get ready !" Bulma yelled back.

I got out of bed and opened the door. "Ready for what?" I asked. We weren't supposed to do anything but train today.

"We're going to the rogue's home. They've invited everyone taking part in the tournament over as guests. And Mikey is staying with dende" she told us.

"Excuse you?.." I heard ara's voice ask.

"Oh morning sweetie" bulma said with a smile. Ara glared at her.

"Your leaving my best friend with the guardian of the planet because ?" She asked.

"They don't want him there" bulma replied. Ara growled.

"Kid cool it" I told her.

"Fine. When are we going and can I fight ?" Ara asked.

Bulma sighed. "Yes you can and if your wearing armour at least make yourself presentable"

"Yes !" The kid screamed happily as she ran back to her room. I chuckled and shook my head, following her.

When I got into the room she was already in her grey suit that whis had given her for training and she put her old chest plate on over it. She smiled at me.

"Want some armour Zeno? My dad isn't using his old armour anymore " she asked.

"Umm I'm good kid" I replied.

Ara just smiled. After a good few hours of bulma stuffing the rest of us into suits and a lot of arguing with Ara to attempt to put her in a dress, which failed, we all left. The rogues house was fucking huge!

As soon as we entered we were stared at. I saw ara's eyes scan the room. Her eyes stopped on who I assumed were Goku and his sons as well as chichi eating at the buffet. She relaxed instantly and smiled slightly.

Yet her smile was taken away when a man stood I front of her.

"Ah. There you are Ara I've been meaning to talk to you" he said. Ara snarled.

"What do you want ?.." she asked.

"As I said. I want to talk " the man looked at me. "And you are ?" He asked.

"Zeno. Her body guard" I replied glaring at him slightly.

He raised an eyebrow in curiously yet looked disappointed. He out his hand out and put on a sly smile. "Maxwell rogue. I am Jake's father" he said.

I shook his hand and pulled it away quickly in disgust.

"Now Ara if you would please follow me to my office. We need to talk" he said. Ara wrapped her tail around mine.

"Only if he can come with me" she said. I smiled.

"Fine" Maxwell said impatiently and he walked off. I wrapped my tail around her's as we walked to his office.

Ara's POV

I followed Maxwell with Zeno in and sat at the chair on the other side of maxwell's desk. I glared at him with obvious hatred yet he didn't seem to notice.

I unwrapped my tail from zeno's and crossed my legs.

"So, your taking part in the tournament. Correct ?" He asked.

"Yes.." I replied.

"I could make sure you win you know ? It wouldn't be too hard. Slip a few Zeni here and there and you would win by a landslide" he said.

"I'll win my fights by myself. I'll prove that when The fights take place tonight" I told him. He chuckles.

"That'll be sweet to see princess" he said.

My head pounded as soon as he said that.

Flashback

Maxwell walked into the room with Seth and Turles and I huddle up to Mikey while Zeno held us close.

"Leave us alone.." Zeno said with hatred in his voice.

"Yea.. touch Mikey again and I'll break your arm.." I said. I was terrified and was about to cry yet I wasn't going to let them see me like that.

Maxwell chuckles. "That'll be sweet princess" he said.

End of flashback

Zeno rubbed my tail with his thumb to calm me down. And it worked.

"Don't call me princess" I said with venom paving my tone. He smirked.
