Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yumi appeared in the dining room with the plate of spaghetti. She really didn't feel like being there. She was more of a behind the scenes kinda of person rather than a people person. But she owed Corrigan a favor. Thus she would just have to deal with it. Setting the plate down in front of Dee, Yumi noticed the bit of hair on Dee's outfit " You got a bit of hair or fur on your shoulder."

"So I do, thanks Yumi." Dee ate the spaghetti in silence enjoying every bite of it. She noticed she could eat a lot faster now for some reason, not that she cared.

She had to think of people she could bring back to Orochimaru. Yumi would make a nice subject, but there was little Dee knew about her, so the loyalty thing was in question here. So, she looked around the restaurant and there was nobody there worthy of it either.

Then, during her meal, she accidentally bit her tongue and a hamster shaped tatoo appeared on the side of her face. (Not the official curse mark, but Dee's own brand. It does nothing to enhance Dee's power. It will enhance powers for the ones she brings back to Orochimaru.)

She paid for her meal and decided she would go and visit Vegeta. Vegeta had strength, he had pride, and he could kill in cold blood if need be. But before she left, she headed for the bathroom where she noticed the tatoo. "Oh neat!" She exclaimed. "This should help."

Then it was off to Vegeta's castle.

When she got to the castle, she was greeted by Trunks, Vegeta's son who complimented her on her tatoo. Dee asked him if he wanted one, and he replied, "Sure, why not?"

So, Dee bit him on the finger and sure enough a tattoo showed on the side of Trunks's face. Then Dee said, "This tattoo comes with a price though. You must join me in a quest that I'm on."

"Done."

Then Dee met up with Vegeta and after a good lovemaking session, Vegeta was convinced to go with Dee on her quest. Dee felt though that one more was needed. Someone with speed and stealth, but someone who could be useful on the battlefield as well. Then she thought of Ice Yagami. The curse mark, her curse mark could stabilize the weather conditions needed for Ice to survive so he could survive anywhere. Plus with the power to create Ice anywhere, freezing one's opponent is one evil and cheap way to do business.

Ice was easy to find and so, now Dee had her team and she brought them all back to the hideout. She introduced all three to Kabuto.

"The guy with the pinkish hair is Trunks. He is good with a sword and he has strength. Vegeta is the one with the spiky hair and he can get the job done if need be. When he kills he makes sure they are dead, Ice can freeze his opponents, so don't let the white hair fool you. He is young and he has speed."

"Very well."

Vegeta looked around very carefully. He had a sneaking suspicion that Dee was about to do something she would regret later and he didn't want Dee ruining that reputation as being the best queen that the Renaissance Galaxy had ever seen. Ice was just plain interested in this cool place. Trunks was looking as if this was just another day at the office sort of deal. One reason he joined first was to ensure that Vegeta didn't wind up getting them all killed. Trunks could read the power level of Orochimaru and it was higher than Vegeta's was. Dee was the only one who could survive a fight against the snake lord, but just barely. Trunks also knew, based on what he knew of her, that she was doing all this for a bit of fun. Like his father, Dee was reckless when it came to spontaneous adventures. However, unlike Vegeta, Dee knew when she was in over her head and somehow manages to get out of tight scrapes.

"This training should be interesting," Dee said at random, voicing her excitement on the matter about to take place.

"Well I just hope it doesn't put me to sleep, Dee," Vegeta added.

"Well, I don't care what the training is, I am just thrilled to be a part of this. I never get to have any fun because my father Iori is such a wet blanket when it comes to things like this. Just once I want to give him what's coming to him, a kick in the pants." Ice included, unknowing that his comment would likely spark the most interest in the snake lord.

Trunks didn't say anything on the matter for what he was thinking was highly inappropriate. (use your imagination on what that might be, this is for the fun for the reader)

Vegeta stood at the front of the line and said, "That would be me. This shouldn't take long."

Trunks began laughing as for once Vegeta was absolutely right. The three ninja could be dead in seconds with Vegeta's power alone. "Try killing him in one hit, father. That's how weak these guys are. Just watch for their speed."

Vegeta tried killing them in one hit, but their speed prevented that. It took three hits, killing one ninja at a time.

"Finally a challenge," Trunks said and immediately got into a fighting stance. But, with one shot of an ice beam from Ice and Trunks looked like a paw p sicle.

Ice yawned, "Too easy."

"That's good. Although pitting Ice against Trunks was hardly fair. Ice will always be faster than him. If it were me against Trunks, at least you'd get a show out of it."

Dee followed Orochimaru to someplace and waited to be given what she wanted.

There was no doubt it stung for a bit, but Dee held her ground. She laughed after and said, "Vampire," and continued laughing. Then she said seriously, "Now my Tuffle powers will kick in and you will see power."

In mere moments, she used the palm of her hand to produce the perfect chidori, which was even better than Sasuke's own. "I adapt to bloods, so now, if I wished I could use your moves too. Not that I would unless you needed me to. Think of me like a double with extra power."
