When she weeps, it rains. When she is angry, the ground she walks upon freezes. And she is always depressed. She is one with water, and her tears sadden even demons. Now it is left to the God of Fire sooth this Ice Queen.

Mizu Bulma They're the same person, so I'll switch off on what to call her. I only put the real name there to make it easier to understand.

Kachi is Vegeta. (Same explanation as before )

Prologue

It was raining. Earth knew the Goddess Mizu had not been well all these years. Yet what did they know? Nothing! After all, these were just the earth's inhabitants. This knowledge was beyond their imagination, higher than the clouds, and into the world of spirits.

Bulma's tears had frozen before they could roll down her cheeks. But her flowing white dress was still wet with the salty liquid. Not for long…

"My queen," a young man addressed. He took her hand and pressed his lips against her flesh, ignoring the fact that simply touching the beautiful goddess could place him in grave danger. He was loyal, willing to take that risk.

"Yes, brother, what is it that you are here for? Please, do not touch me. I wish not to cause anyone else pain," the woman said. She pulled her delicate fingers away. They were a pallid shade of blue from wiping her eyes.

"No, your highness, I will not leave your side. There must be a way... If only I knew how to help you I would." The man was sorrowful. Bulma's pain was hurting him. He was her friend and only remaining ally and support. They were born only 967 years apart.

"My family cannot be revived. I am grateful for your concern child, but the Earth needs you. Without the seven winds, the rate of plant growth will decrease rapidly-"

"Causing the humans to die off from a lack of oxygen, I know this, but I will not abandon you in your time of need! Why not let Kachi help?"

"No," Bulma said. Her countenance went dark. "I never want to see his face ever again! Don't you realize what he's done? That monster stirs the fires of hell!"

The young man bowed his head. "This I am aware of. He is not an immoral demon as you think. I am acquainted with him. Kachi is just as yourself- he never asked to be the keeper of Hell."

Bulma's eyes flashed icily. "That man enjoys holding the keys to the eternal fires. I refuse to breathe the same air as that vile creature." Then her eyes softened. "I thought I knew him, Goku… I was foolish to trust him in the first place."

"Please, give Kachi another chance," Goku pleaded. "He is not totally overcome by evil- that is not possible. No one can touch you, no one can heal you because of your powers; they're out of control! I just know he can help."

"What- because he's the 'almighty' god of fire?" Bulma hissed in a deadly tone. The cerulean of her eyes glowed brighter, swallowing the blackness of her iris. She rose from her marble throne, stepping soundlessly to level ground. The air around Mizu grew cold, and ice formed on the once stone floor. Goku had to back away from her in order to avoid a frozen death. His lips were already blue.

"No- because he is willing and able to save you."

"I have never thought of it that way."

The iris of Bulma's once again became visible as her anger resided. The temperature became more bearable for Goku.

The room went dark, and confusion replaced Bulma's sorrow.

"Who is there?"

Thick black smoke filled the room, swirling into a figure. It drifted and bowed at Bulma's feet, morphing at astonishing speeds. That figure had shaped into the form of a human.

Goku frowned while Bulma let out a scream of rage.

"What is he doing here?"

The man was fully unhidden. His figure was virtually perfect, impeccable and well sculpted with a mane of spiky dark hair that defied all laws of gravity by flaming straight up.

"Kachi. I didn't know you would be here so soon," Goku said.

"Silence, you child. I did not come to waste my time by chatting with you," Vegeta scowled. He beheld the sight of Bulma, her body shaking with fury. "Ah, the beautiful Queen Mizu." His mouth curved upward in a devilish smirk. "We meet again."

Before Bulma could object, Vegeta snatched her hand and brushed his mouth against it. Slowly, licking the flesh between her knuckles. Her powers held no effect on him, and unlike Goku, he faced no peril.

"Beast," Bulma snarled, swiftly yanking her arm away. This only made the kneeling king sneer, mocking her with his very expression. She knew Vegeta was the only being in the universe that could touch her and remain unharmed.

"Mizu," Goku said. "Please, be kind to him. He is here for the good of Earth."

Yes, woman, Kachi jeered silently, 'tis for the good of your planet. His eyes were pits of eternal darkness. No feeling could be seen in their fiery depths, but Mizu thought she saw his shield flicker as though Vegeta's eyes had betrayed him in letting their guard down. An attraction for her? Fondness maybe? No, just lust.

Bulma could not deny that the Fire God was physically attractive. His every feature was flawless, yet she ignored this. Sticking to her burning hatred for the handsome devil was much simpler than allowing herself to harbor other feelings for him.

"Son Goku, depart from us."

"My queen, are you sure-"

"Now." Mizu commanded the youthful wind god. Her eyes shined brightly, and became swallowed by a sea of clear blue. Bulma's hair became unbound, loosely swaying from an unknown wind. "Goku?"

"I'm leaving now. Good luck my friend." He vanished from their presence. Bulma frowned slightly. I am sorry.

Vegeta smiled wickedly.

"So, you are preparing to fight me, my beautiful imp?"

"Maybe," Bulma countered. Vegeta allowed a chuckle to escape him.

"How will you defeat me? With an icicle?" he laughed menacingly.

"No." She came close to him, allowing her hands to hold his face as she brought her lips upon his in a deadly kiss.

Almost instantly, Vegeta could feel his insides numbing. He was nearly internally frozen before he summoned the source of his power. The feeling reversed, and his body regenerated itself, effecting Bulma also. As she broke away, her eyes widened in astonishment.

"Have you forgotten who I am, woman?" Kachi inquired. He frowned playfully. "I am certain you are not so stupid as to expect me to stand still and become an ice sculpture." With that, he crushed her to him in a heated kiss.

Bulma was almost too weak to resist. Warmth dispersed through her in a wave of fire, bathing her in its energy. Vegeta was doing very bad things to her with his tongue, warming her, drowning her in hell fire. Then the righteous Mizu came alive making Bulma gasp and abruptly push him away.

"You bastard!"

Vegeta only laughed at this little outburst. "You cannot fight me... Bulma." Mizu's anger became aroused.

"You have no right to call me that."

She was seeing red instead of a comforting blue haze. How dare this immoral beast use her human name! The palace of Mizu began to shake from the radiating effects of Bulma's animosity.

"Calm down before you hurt yourself."

Bulma stopped herself only for the sake of her home. If she had been any more upset, the whole place would have been destroyed.

"Leave me."

It was hard for Mizu believe that this man had been her lover at one time. Back when they were human all those years ago. Destiny had driven them apart to their own fates. Vegeta's path had been to receive authority over all the fires of both Hell and Earth, and so he became the one called Kachi. Bulma, or Mizu, became the goddess of water and was known as the alluring queen of the seas. These were the most conflicting of elements, and they were very equal to one another, being able to nullify any attack brought on by the other. Bulma hated this fact, denying any connections to the king of the underworld.

"What if I don't want to?"

"Do not provoke my wrath, Kachi! My power is not stable!"

Bulma scowled inwardly at what she had unintentionally let slip. She felt like a weak human child… helpless in almost every way. Would Vegeta mock her, jest upon her misfortune, or laugh at the loss of her control?

"I know. You only froze half planet Earth, and I had to go down and clean up your mess."

Earth had iced over? Did she really have that little control over her powers? It was possible in Mizu's mind. Each time Bulma seethed with rage, her abilities to maneuver and create water were converted to freezing moister in the air. Earth was suffering with her...

Bulma turned away from Vegeta, and flung herself onto her throne, burying her face in her hands.

"Mizu..."

Bulma lifted her head, and Kachi saw that she was near tears.

"Leave me."

Vegeta paced to the door without further speaking. Nearly to the pearly exit, he looked back. Her face was still as beautiful as he remembered, even after many years.

"Foolish woman."

In a pillar of opaque smoke, he disappeared.
