Chapter 1.
Vegeta woke from a nightmare bolt upright, mouth open in a silent scream, breathing heavily, and with sweat glistening on his forehead. Bulma stirred next to him and he set his face so as not to worry her.
"What's up honey?" She asked sleepily.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep." Vegeta replied, though he knew it was a lie. Bulma seemed to buy it though, and she turned onto her side, asleep within moments. Vegeta got out of bed quietly and dressed, intending to go to the gravity room and train, but he did a double take when he looked into the bathroom mirror. Two tiny, round scars glowed on his neck, and he realized that the nightmare that had woken his up had been a reality. He looked out of the window and saw a full moon come out from behind the clouds, and his whole body went stiff.
'What's going on, what's happening to me?' His body twitched, and he could move again so he went back into the bedroom.
"Bulma, wake up!" He said urgently, shaking her awake, and as she sat up a sliver of moonlight appeared on his back, and he went rigid again.
"Ack!"
"Vegeta, what's happening to you?" Bulma asked, getting out of bed and grabbing his shoulders. "Snap out of it Vegeta!" She shook him, and the moonlight disappeared as the clouds covered the moon again so he could move. His legs gave out underneath him and he fell to his knees, hitting the floor with a thud, and Bulma went and shut the curtains, sensing some sort of connection between the moonlight and Vegeta's momentary paralysis, though she was not sure if she was right or not. She turned back to Vegeta, who was trying to stand up, and she helped him to sit on the bed.
"Do you remember what happened a few weeks ago when that creature nearly took Bra?" Vegeta asked.
"I only remember what I saw when I got there; Bra sitting in a corner, screaming for all she was worth, covered in your blood, and you hanging from that thing by your neck, unconscious. Trunks blasted it, it dropped you, then Trunks vaporized it." Bulma said nervously. "What does that have to do with this?"
"Everything."
--Flashback—
Vegeta opened his eyes and looked at the clock. 2:30. He did not know what had woken him up, but he got out of bed, put on some jeans, and left the bedroom. He sensed that so0mething was wrong, and he felt a ki signature that he did not recognize. It was near Bra's room, so he headed that way. He pushed the door open quietly, and looked around, then nearly yelled in fright at what he saw. A person –about 7 feet tall- was standing over Bra, and the little girl was looking at it, openmouthed, not seeming to be able to breathe. Her eyes darted away from the gaze of the person and met Vegeta's and she let out a tiny squeak of fear, then the person grabbed her by the neck and turned around, using her for a shield.
"Let her go." Vegeta said forcefully, not taking his eyes off Bra's.
"And then you'll blast me. No, I'm not stupid Vegeta, and yes, I know exactly who you are. But you don't know who I am." The person said. "You can call me Acura, one of the last Vampires left on Earth."
"But I blew up your planet over twenty years ago, I thought none of you survived!"
"Obviously you are mistaken. I was already here on Earth when Vammit was destroyed, so I had to stay here. When I heard that you live her, and that you had a family, I searched for you to take my revenge. You destroyed my family, so I was going to destroy yours, but I've changed my mind, and I'm going to make you a deal. If you want your daughter back, then you have to do exactly as I say." Acura hissed, sounding extremely pleased with himself. Vegeta looked at Acura properly for the first time, and he was surprised at how human he looked. The only major differences were that Acura was, obviously, 7 feet tall, his eyes were bright and orange colored, and his skin seemed white. Maybe this was only because the only light source was the moon, but Saiyan sight was much more acute than other species' sight, so Vegeta did not think this was the case. He looked back at Bra again and Acura tightened his hold around her. Bra wriggled her head a bit and was able to free her mouth.
"Daddy…" She whimpered, and Vegeta made up his mind.
"Fine, but you don't hurt her." He growled, and Acura smiled evilly.
"Come here." He said, pointing at the floor just in front of himself, and Vegeta, though he didn't want to, walked forward. "Now don't move." Acura hissed, then leaned forward and sank his sharp teeth into the side of Vegeta's neck. Bra screamed, and Vegeta cried out as his blood ran into Acura's mouth, then Acura forced a wrist in between Vegeta's teeth. "Bite." He said past the blood that he was greedily sucking from Vegeta's neck, that was flowing into his mouth and down his front, staining Bra's clothes, and Vegeta bit, as though an invisible being was making him. His sharp Saiyan canine teeth pierced Acura's skin, the blood flowed down his throat, and the strength in his jaws crushed Acura's wrist, but he managed to force himself to let go. Bra gathered her senses for a moment and threw a tiny ki-ball into Acura's stomach, and he dropped the girl, who hit the floor with a thud and crept into a corner, crying and screaming for all she was worth, and with Vegeta's blood soaking her clothes. Acura stood up straight, holding a limp, nearly unconscious Vegeta in his teeth, and he looked at the girl. An evil smile formed, and he took a step towards her, but he was thrown against the opposite wall by a ki-blast from the door. Trunks was standing there, another ki-ball ready, but then he saw that Vegeta 3was hanging from Acura's mouth, and the ki-ball doubled in size. Acura dropped Vegeta, who fell to the floor in a heap, and the ki-ball was thrown with a yell, vaporizing him instantly. Trunks ran into the room and turned Vegeta onto his back while Bulma tried to comfort her crying daughter. The thirteen-year-old gasped when he saw how much flesh had been torn and shredded form Vegeta's neck, and he picked him up carefully and rushed him to the Regeneration Tank that they had been able to build recently.
"Thank Kami we figured out how to build one." Trunks muttered as he stripped Vegeta quickly and put him in the machine with an oxygen mask over his face. He watched as the tank began filling with green liquid, then left to see how Bulma was coping with Bra. Bulma had managed to calm her down a bit, and she was telling her what had happened when Trunks entered the room.
"…and then he made Daddy bite his hand." The girl howled, and started crying again.
"Shh, Shh, Shh. Trunks destroyed him, and your daddy's going to get better. Don't worry Bra, he's gone now." Bulma said soothingly.
"Yeah, I put him in the new Regeneration Tank. He can't die, and he'll probably be out of there, good as new, by sunup, Bra." Trunks said, sitting down on the floor next to them.
--End Flashback—
"The Vampires turn into massive creatures at the first full moon after being 'made', but they can't control it the first time. After the first full moon they can do it whenever they want, and they have complete control, but the first time they become insane creatures, destroying anything in their search for blood." Vegeta finished heavily, holding his head in his hands. "I wish I'd never done what he said, but I couldn't let him have Bra!" He exclaimed. He stood up and walked across the room, then turned and looked straight at Bulma. "Even without the moonlight directly on me I'm going to change, just not as fast."
"What are you going to do? You can't go outside, you'll change before you get past the boundaries, but if you stay you might end up killing us!" Bulma almost hissed in a scared tone. "Wait! What if Goku used Instant Transmission to take you away from here?"
"That baka? Then what? He'd have to fight me, and he might have to kill me!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"But he could be your only chance of not hurting anyone at all." Bulma said firmly, and though he would not admit to wanting or needing Goku's help, he knew that Bulma was right.
"Fine. You get on the phone and tell him to come over here then." Vegeta scowled, and Bulma went to her closet.
"What are you going to do?" She asked as she started dressing. Vegeta went over to her and pulled her into an embrace.
"I have no idea. He said, then let go of her and sat on the bed, resting his head in his hands again. Bulma finished dressing quickly, brushed her hair out, then put the main light on and picked up the phone.
"Chi-Chi, can you get Goku to come over here as quickly as possible please? Yes, it's serious Chi-Chi. Thank-you." She hung up and turned to look at Vegeta, who for once did not have some sort of angry comeback for the situation. A moment later Goku appeared in the hall, dressed in his usual orange gi, but his trademark smile was gone.
"Chi-Chi said that something was wrong." He said, stepping into the room, and Vegeta stood up.
"Goku, can you take him as far away from any civilization as possible? He's going to turn into some sort of creature and attack everyone in sight, and you are going to have to fight him, but don't kill him. We'll explain properly when you two get back, but right now there isn't time." Bulma said, and Goku nodded. He grabbed Vegeta's wrist, put two fingers to his forehead, and they disappeared. Bulma looked at the spot where Vegeta had been standing, and burst into tears that were overdue for release. "Please come back Vegeta…" She whimpered.
