Gohan fled through the white corridors attentively scanning the perimeter, like a predator stalking its prey. He knew the ki he was scouting was being suppressed, only making the hunt more fun, but the question was, how did he find it? Entering a dark room he knew the presence wasn't far away, in fact he was sure that the ki was present in that particular room. Gohan mischievously grinned when he sited two antenna like things poking out from the darkness. He sprinted towards them and gleefully cried,

"FOUND YOU!" a young green alien emerged from the shadows with a grin as wide as his seeker's.

"Ha ha, yeah, but I bet you can't catch me!" and with that Dende took off out of the room with Gohan in hot pursuit.

Laughing uncontrollably the two new best friends ran madly through the endless hallways. Dende, desperately tried to shake off the half-breed yet incredibly talented Saiyan boy. Looking over his shoulder he didn't realize his path was blocked off until it was too late…CRASH! He smacked into two creamy white legs sending the person to fall forwards.

"AHH…"

"Watch it Namek!" Dende, picking himself up from colliding with Bulma and came face to face with two deathly dark onyx orbs, Vegeta. Even though he, Gohan and Krillin spent a lot of time with the dark Prince and even fought on the same side, Dende could not get used to his presence and frankly was scared out of his mind by him, still.

Vegeta, in spite of his total and utter disgust, had aimlessly caught Bulma by one strong muscular arm to break her fall, and he had no idea why.

"Hey Vegeta, be nice! Opps, I forgot, that's like virtually impossible for you. Its fine Dende, oh hey Gohan, didn't see you there, Vegeta you can let go now, by the way."

Vegeta hadn't realized he was still holding on to the annoying Earth woman, in a secure grip. Almost throwing her away he 'humphed' and crossed his arms and stared coldly at the three.

"Im, ah, really sorry about that Bulma" said Dende apologetically, looking at the ground, trying to avoid Vegeta's piercing eyes.

"Aw sweetie, its fine, why don't you go find my mum, dinner will be ready soon, Gohan you can stay too, does your mum know you're here? Give her a ring before dinner and tell her you're sleeping over, tell her its fine. Dende go find the other Nameks and round them up for dinner please."

"Cool! Thanks Bulma!" the friends said in unison and ran down the corridor.

"Watch where you're going!" she warned after them, watching them run off.

'Oh yeah Bulma you got this kid thing down, probably make the best mum ever!' Bulma gave herself a victorious smile before turning to face an aloof Saiyan Prince.

"Now where were we? Oh yeah…IM NOT YOUR BLOODY SLAVE VEGETA SO STOP BOSSING ME AROUND AND BITCHING ABOUT EVERYTHING! I'LL GIVE YOU A FUCKING ROOM TO TRAIN IN FOR A WHILE SO STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT IT!"

"Are you done?"

"YES, I AM-"

"Good, now shut the hell up."

"URGH, see Vegeta this is EXACTLY what I am talking about! You're a guest here, so a little respect for the hostess would be appreciated."

"Servent Woman, I am a Saiyan Prince, therefore I don't have to respect anyone on this pathetic planet let alone universe. I do what I want, when I want, and I advise that I should never be told otherwise or their will be consequences."

"Ohh you think you are such a badass don't you, well then tell me this, why did you break my fall just then? If you're so cold hearted as you say you are, wouldn't you have let me fall?" Bulma grinned widely.

'Got ya; no escaping princy!'

Vegeta's eyes narrowed at the question, this Earth woman dare challenge the might Prince of Saiyans? Not only that but she wants to make a fool out of him too. Vegeta grinded his teeth together in anger, contemplating on a suitable comeback, he had no clue as to why he broke her fall, yet would rather be damned to hell than admitting it.

"Servent Woman", Vegeta annunciated the 'Slave' part again especially, because it made the woman's eyebrows narrow and nostrils flare, indicating that she was pissed off.

'Good'

"I only caught you for my own benefit, I think about it, if I hadn't you would have bitched about it for the next whole week and nothing irritates me more than the sound of your wretched whiny voice, thus I only did it for myself, but maybe next time I'll be less selfish and let you fall." Vegeta gave Bulma the ultimate smug smirk, eyes flashing at his own cruel joke. Bulma gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"You are sick and twisted" she said icily,

"And you're ugly and annoying, now get out of my site." And with that he picked her up by the collar of her shirt and carelessly tossed her aside none too gently, making Bulma land on her behind.

It had been 4 months since Vegeta decided to reside in Caspule Corp with the Nameks to wait for the Dragonballs. At first he didn't know what to think, even though C.C mansion was enormous, he still felt claustrophobic with what was left of the Namek race, Dr. and Mrs Briefs and Bulma all living under one roof. He didn't bother making any attempts to try and talk to the others, apart from Bulma who always started to conversation anyway, he didn't want to associate himself with such pathetic beings. All he could think about was Kakkarot. Where was he? Had he become more powerful than before? All those questions were spinning around in Vegeta's mind causing him to lose it sometimes where he would take it out on the woods or snow, depending on where he was training. Vegeta had been training in the wilderness rather than at C.C, solitude was extremely important to him and C.C was like a circus. But now that Bulma had promised him a training room, his schedule would have to be changed. The woman was a total enigma to him. She annoyed the hell out of him that all he wanted to do was snap her in half (which he needed to control otherwise Kakkarot and the other would defiantly kill him) but she also fascinated him, she was the only one that didn't squirm in fear when they would talk, well except her mother of course, who he was certain had brain damage. Gohan was still a little bit awkward around him, which he liked. People should fear him, that's the way it should be, or so he thought. Yet she didn't and it puzzled him day in and day out. She challenged him as if she was a worthy advisory, and never quivered in his rage. She invited him to stay, yet bitched about him being a nuisance, but never through him out. She would randomly come up to him and babble on about nothing, and smile and laugh, once and only once making him laugh too, yet most of their time together was verbally sparring with each other, which happened whenever they saw each other, and funnily enough Vegeta enjoyed them, they were heated, witty and challenging. The woman may not have any muscle what so ever but she was extremely intelligent and had a quick wit and fiery temper that Vegeta could always ignite. Smirking his way down towards the dinning room to collect his dinner, Vegeta thought about how Bulma was reacting to their last encounter and her falling on her ass, that's one bruise that she will never see.

Bulma rubbed her poor bum soothingly, it hurt to sit down and so she couldn't lie on her back, it hurt to sit to watch TV, sit to work, eat, walk and run. She growled ferociously. Vegeta was such an asshole, she wondered why she let him stay in the first place, wasn't it was because she felt bad for him and thought that he was hot? Either way she didn't feel bad for him now, and she was to mad to consider his hotness, even though he was probably the hottest guy she had ever seen, apart from maybe the creep Zarbon ( the hair did it for her).

'Snap out of it Bulma! You have a boyfriend!' Bulma found herself telling herself this more frequently. She did love the ex-bandit, yet she could feel a gap between them grow wider, not because he was dead, it was even before his death, but now that he wasn't present only opened her eyes more to the fact that she didn't rely or need him as much as she thought she did. She was extremely occupied attending to all the Nameks, running a business and putting up with Vegeta that she never really had a chance to think about Yamcha. She loved having the friendly green aliens living with her. They were so nice and helpful around the house. Their nature was peaceful and loving, and the Eldest Namek taught her how to distress herself. She also loved Dende; he was the cutest thing she had ever seen. He was wholesome, sweet and cute. Gohan would frequently come over to play with Dende, which both Bulma and Chi Chi thought it was marvelous that Gohan finally had a friend his age. Both kids were forced to grow up too fast. However while she had the most friendliest race living in her house she had one super sized egoist Prince that made up for an entire race residing in the mansion as well. Out of everyone living under C.C roof, she found Vegeta to be the most interesting. The guy never talked, and when he did it was insults. She wondered if he had any social tactics at all but she soon discovered that it was just his nature.

"But I guess living under Frieza's rule would make you cold".

Yet Bulma was determined to crack him. She didn't know why but there was something about that Prince that triggered her thoughts. She wanted to get to know the man behind the mask, know his real history, his personality apart from 'crude bastard' and know his emotions, even since the day she met him, but the day in which she made him laugh catalyzed it. But right now she needed to take a hot bubble bath so soothe her aching bum and devise a plan to get the Saiyan ass back. She had she had 7 more months left to crack him so a little revenge wouldn't hurt.

A/N: so yeah it starts that year while they wait for the DBs and goku, right after namek, i saw that episode where B invited V to stay and always wondered wat happened there so enjoy and find out! r & r .xxx.
