Chapter 1.

Bulma just arrived home after an exhausting week, between working in her lab, cleaning up Vegeta's messes and dealing with the Corporate office it's amazing she was able to stay awake long enough to drive home. She put her hoover car in park and got out took in a deep breathe, her Mom was cooking another feast, she couldn't wait! Bulma capsulized her car and headed for the door.

Before she could reach the gate to punch in the code to let her in a firm hand gripped her shoulder. She wanted to scream but couldn't she was frozen with fear. The hand spun her around and she was soon face to face with a tall man that had dark yet familiar eyes, his hair stood up like black flames. Looking into those dark ebony eyes she no longer feared for her life. Something seemed gentle about them.

The man smiled at her noticing the confusing look on the woman's face. He began to speak and his voice was deep and husky and seemed to demand respect

"Bulma, I am King Vegeta, you mustn't tell my son you saw me yet. He is to believe that I died with our planet. It's his rage within that will help him win this war."

Bulma starred up at this man in shock mouth wide open and eyes big, she was just about to speak when he began to talk again.

"Myself and about 15 other Saiyan's were able to escape without Frieza or his father spotting us. I've watched my son all these years from afar. Watched him grow, kill, and dishonor our race. We are a warrior race yes my dear, (he could read her mind) but we never killed for fun. This upcoming war your planet is about to face will prove to me if my son is ready for the truth, and ready to be king."

Bulma in even more shock now turned angry and King Vegeta saw a fire ignite in her blue eyes.

" How dare you! How dare you come here and tell me this and you expect me not to tell him? Your insane! Your also an asshole and a piece of shit father to do such a thing to your son! Do you have any idea the pain, regret and sorrow Vegeta feels inside thinking he let you down by Freiza killing you?"

Before Bulma could continue her rant he was laughing, only igniting her more! He could smell her blood boil at the insult of his laughter.

"And just what do you think is so funny? For a King you seem to have no manners!"

"Bluma, I'm laughing because it's amazing to see a human with such fire, there is great strength within you. I think I just might believe what Bardock claims he saw in his vision. But enough of that, my absence as a father is not your concern woman! I was doing what was best for my son and all will reveal itself in due time, until then you can not tell him of our meeting."

"But won't he smell you on me, or sense you? Your son is far from stupid, he's arrogant, demanding, disrespectful, rude, and a jerk, but he's not stupid."

"Ah I see you've taken a liking to my Vegeta!" King Vegeta said chuckling aloud.

"Not even close! Look I'd better go he's sure to have sensed my ki a few miles ago. And you'd better be careful he doesn't sense you!"

"Don't you worry about me, I've learned some things." he said smirking to her in the same way Vegeta does when he's up to no good.

Bulma put her head down and let out a deep sign, "Alright, I'll do it but you only have a day to figure this out and then I'm telling him. I could never forgive myself for hurting him. He may be an asshole but I see the pain he hides behind his rage."

"Very well, I shall come tomorrow with Bardock to inform my son of the past, I just hope this does not ruin his chances of fulfilling his true destiny and winning this war."

"What war? The one with the Androids?"

King Vegeta smiled at her and nodded his head and stated simply, "Yes"

Before she could respond he was gone, she stood there in utter shock. What was she supposed to do? Should she tell Vegeta knowing he either wouldn't believe her or he will flip out, or hide it from him and he'd kill her for lying to him. It seemed like she had one option. Something inside of her ached for him and wanted to make everything right for him. She though that maybe, just maybe there was some good inside him somewhere. She punched in the code and the gates creaked as they opened. She starred up at her house, "It's now or never Bulma!" she thought to herself.
