Bound To Happen

Chapter 1 ~ Heartbreak City

'What an arrogant bastard!! Just looking at him walk makes you sick!' Bulma thought
while she walked past Vegeta.

"For Kami's sake woman, can't you keep you're mouth shut for more than two seconds?!" Vegeta suddenly snapped at her.

"What the hell is your problem?! I didn't say anything!" she snapped back.

"Like hell you did!"

"Well what did the @#$% did I say?!"

"...." he glared at her blankly.

Bulma impatiently put her hands on her hips, "Well?!"

He smirked, calming himself down. "You said that you couldn't stand looking at me."

'Kami...how does he know what I'm thinking?? But this can't be...he's hearing things...
yeah, he's hearing things. I must be loosing my mind if I think he's going through my
head' she regained her composure.

"I didn't say that!" she scoffed at him.

"Well how the hell did I hear it?!"

"How in Kami's world am I suppose to know? Urgh! You know what? Just forget it! I
have better things to do than argue with you! It's more of an insane you now," with that
she walked away.

Vegeta glared evil daggers at her as she left. "I AM NOT INSANE!!!" He yelled after
her and blasted a tree nearby then stomped off to the gravity room.

'Why that pig headed monkey! Ooooh!! He makes me so MAD!!!! I can't take it anymore! He's driving me crazy!!!' Bulma screamed in her mind as she headed towards her room.'I need help, therapy anything just to keep me away from him!!! CHI CHI!! Yes, Chi Chi!I'll go see Chi Chi. Nooo, I can't see her today, I have a date with Yamcha. But there's
plenty of time between now and my date with Yamcha. I'll go to Chi Chi's anyway,
Yamcha wont mind if I'm a bit late.'

~*~

'Why that baka woman, I should dispose of her calling me insane! But what's wrong withme? What am I saying, nothings wrong with me. I was just fine before that stupid womancame wondering around. That's it! It's that baka, she's trying to trick me. Huh, well I'll
show her, the Prince of Vegetasei will never be tricked by a low earth woman! But she
wouldn' t waste time just to try and trick me, not that she could anyway,' he smirked at
that thought. 'If she's not trying to trick me...then why do I hear her....? Could it be?? No,it can't. Could I have bonded with her?? That can't be! I'm not suppose to be able to
bond!! But it's the only explaination for it.' He tried to remember what his tutor had told
him about bonding.

"Dammit! I should have listened to that baka! Kuso!" he cursed at his own stupidity.
"Now I only know the damn basic facts! Urrr- ...huh..." Vegeta stopped training and
turned off the gravity machine. Slowly he walked out and looked around.

"I swear I felt a ki...there it is again! Kakarrot's around there as well!" at this he smirked.
"That gives me a chance to test out my stregth! Heh, I'll beat you this time Kakarrot!"
with that said he took off heading towards the ki.

~*~

The bright sun shone down on Goku, Krillun and Gohan as they walked around the park.

"You feel that Krillun?" Goku asked, suddenly stopping.

"Yeah...the wind sure is cool today isn't it Goku?" Krillun replied relaxing a bit more.

"No, not the wind. It's a ki, and it's heading towards us," Goku exclaimed.

~*~

Bulma knocked impatiently at Chi Chi's door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Chi Chi snapped from inside, obviously pissed.

The door opened and Chi Chi peaked out.

"Oh hi Bulma, come in" she gestured in a cheery voice. Bulma swent inside and took a
seat at the kitchen table while Chi Chi continued washing the dishes.

"So what brings you here Bulma?" Chi Chi asked politely.

Bulma looked down. "Vegeta again?" Chi Chi asked seriously knowing that he was a realproblem for her. Bulma nodded.

"Oh Bulma, just try and ignore him, he loves annoying you and seeing you so pissed. Tellyou what, you keep yourself busy and you'll forget about him in no time. Speaking of
which, could you do me a little favour?"

Bulma looked up at her. "Oh alright" she finally answered.

"Thanks alot, Bulma," Chi Chi said going into her cheery mood again.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Bring Gohan back, Goku just took off with him and Krillun! And Gohan hasn't even
finished his homework yet!"

"Good thing I brought my scouter along" Bulma said taking out a cpsule and her new
pink scouter from her purse. She took the casule in one hand and threw out the
window, when the smoke cleared, her air bike was visible. "Bye then," she said putting
on her scouter. She walked out, got on her air bike and flew off. "Bye Bulma, good
luck!!" Chi Chi yelled after her.

~*~

Vegeta landed somewhere in the middle of the park. He started looking but but found
nothing so he decided to wait for a while. Then Goku, Krillun and Gohan came flying towhere he was.

"Hey Vegeta, guess you sensed it too," Goku greeted.

"Late as usual, hmm Kakarrot?" he sneered. But before anyone could respond, they heard a familiar voice:

"Hey guys, what's up?" it was Bulma on her air-bike.

"Hi Bulma, what're you doing here? It's dangerous," Goku said as she approached them.

"I needed to talk to Chi Chi, so I went over to your place. Ch Chi asked me if I could
bring Gohan back so I tracked you guys down with my brand new scouter! Cool huh?!"

"Oh man...but I can't go now," Gohan started complaining but gasped when Salt and Vinegar, two of Garlic Jr's henchmen landed in front of them, laughing menacingly.

"Long time no see Gohan, remember us?" Vinegar chuckled sarcatically.

"Who the hell are you?!" Vegeta snapped at them pushing everyone aside to get a good
view.

Suddenly Vinegar and Salt began doing pauses.

Vegeta glared at them in disgust, "What is the meaning of this?! Get out of my sight youbakas!"

"And who might you be to be ordering us around?!"

"Hmph! I am Vegeta, Sayajin Prince of Vegetasei, an elite warrior. So you better move itor I'll blast you both to another dimension!"

"Hahaha!!! That's where you're mistaken. You see, during the time that we were dead, wepaid a little visit to the Ginyu Force and some of their...let's say..friends and picked up a
few tricks off of them, like how to increase our maximum fighting power, ten fold!"
Vinegar chuckled.

Hearing this everyone started gritting their teeth and growling under their breath.

Suddenly Bulma's cellphone started ringing. Everyone stared at her. She blushed at all theattention she got, "Oooh, this better be important!" she growled before answering the
phone.

"Bulma here"

"Hi Bulma, it's me Yamcha"

"Hi Yamcha, what's up?" she was happy to hear from Yamcha.

"Bulma, baby, I'm sorry but I can't make it for our date tonight. You--"

"WHAT!!!" she yelled into the phone, grabbing everyone attention once again.

"Yamcha, I have just about had it with you! You have never showed up for a single datewithout leaving half way through it. We have NEVER been on a decent date!!! EVER!!"

"But Bulma, please---"

"No buts, Yamcha! I'm sick snd tired of it! Sick and tired of YOU!! Tired of this whole
kami forsaken planet!!!" she spat at him through the phone and threw it as hard as she
could, not caring where she threw it.

Tears streamed down her face, unable to control her tears, Bulma ran into an even deeperpart of the park covering her face with her hands.

"Poor Bulma, wonder why she's crying..." Goku wondered out loud.

"Her precious boyfriend must've dumped her again! HAHAHAHA!!!!" Vegeta laughed
tilting his head to the side.

"Gohan? Maybe you should go find Bulma and take her to your mum" Goku said with aworried look on his face.
"Okay dad"

~*~

Bulma ran and ran, rivers of tears falling from both eyes. Finally she came to a stop and
leaned on a tree. She had stopped crying now but still she was sobbing. She sank to the
ground and pulled her legs up to her chest curling into a tight ball.

Suddenly she heard some leaves rustling in a bush close by. Giggles escaped a woman's
mouth and into Bulma's ears. She could hear a man's voice, sounded familiar. Could it
be.....?

She crawled towards where the sound was coming from and peaked in.

"Yamcha...?" her voice was bearly above a whisper. Tears started flooding down her
cheeks again as she saw Yamcha lean over and kiss a blond woman. With red rims
around her eyes she struggled back to her previous position and buried her face in her
arms.

"Bulma!? Bulma, there you are"

Bulma looked up to see Gohan staring down at her.

"Bulma, are you okay? Come on, let's go home," Gohan put out out his hand and helped
her up.

"Try not to wriggle too much," Bulma just stared at her feet while Gohan held her and
took off.

~*~

"Okay Bulma, we're here" Gohan reminded her as he landed by his house. He knocked on the door, it burst open and there stood an enraged Chi Chi.

"Gohan! Where were you?! You were suppose to be here an hour ago! Why I should geta whole army of people to watch over you!! In fact--" she paused as she saw the look onBulma's face.

"Bulma? What's wrong?"

Gohan help her in and sat her down. "She'll be fine after a while, Mum. But I gotta go,
dad and the others need me" he called half way through the door, and took off again.

"GOHAN!!! COME BACK HERE!!!" Chi Chi yelled after him.

~*~

"What happened to Salt and Venigar?" Gohan asked dissapointed as he approached
Krillun and the others at the battlescene.

"Well, for all I've heard, they mentioned something about Vegeta having a girlfriend or
something. Pff, like that could ever happen. Anyway Vegeta turned into a hot-head and
the next thing I heard was...BOOM!! And they were gone. Don't bother asking Vegeta
about it, he just gets all fired up and tells youtomind your own business" Krillun
explained to him while going back to see how Bulma's doing.

~*~

"Bulma, it's going to be alright Bulma. Don't worry, you'll be fine," Chi Chi tried to
comfurt her after she told her what happened. Just then the door opened and Goku,
Krillun, Gohan and Vegeta entered the house leaving the door open behind them.

"Oh hi Goku," Chi Chi said with a serious look on her face. They looked at Bulma and
she tried to smile at them but could only manage a weak smile.

"Are you okay Bulma? What happened on the phone?" Krillun asked cluelessly.

Vegeta just stood there in his usual pause, staring at her.

Bulma didn't answer, she kept looking on.

Suddenly Yamcha came through the door with a cheery smile on his face. "Hi guys!"

Bulma instantly stood up and glared daggers at him. Chi Chi glanced at Bulma, then at
Yamcha and back at Bulma.

Yamcha looked at her, her red rimmed eyes and her messed up hair clearly showed that
she had been crying.

"Hi Bulma, what's wrong?"

Bulma's eys were entirely full of hate and rage, and her rage was growing by the minute.
"WHAT'S WRONG!!? CAN'T YOU FIGURE THAT ONE OUT BY YOURSELF YOUSELFISH BASTARD!!?"

"Bulma, I can explain," Yamcha pleaded.

"EXPLAIN WHAT?!! THE WAY YOU KISSED SOME OTHER BITCH IN THE
PARK!!!" Bulma yelled. Her roars thundering in Yamcha's ears. Everyone watched in
awe at Bulma's rage.

"..." Yamcha was speechless. A slap landed on his face.

"Bulma, baby, please.." he begged and another slap landed on his face. Yamcha put his
hand on his now already red cheek.

"Don't you Bulma baby me!!! Go find some other whore to fuck with!!! I've had enoughof your crap Yamcha!!" Bulma furiously wipped away her tears. "GO!! GET OUT!!!"

Yamcha just stood there staring at her, too shocked to move.

"Maybe you should leave Yamcha" Chi Chi said tilting her head towards the door.

Yamcha slowy walked out and took off.

~*~

Later that day Bulma was sitting on Chi Chi's backyard staring at the sky, waiting for thesun to set.

A while later Vegeta came out of the house. He stared at her for a few moments, and thenjust sat down beside her, keeping his distance, and watched the sunset.

A few minutes passed, Bulma stood up and wipped the dirt off of the back of her pants.
Vegeta watched her every move as she started walking towards the kitchen but stopped
by the door and turned around, a hopeful look on her face.

"Vegeta?" she started, "Could you...could you fly me back home...please?"

He paused for a moment then responded.

"Hmm.." meaning yes.

Vegeta went up to her and put his arms around her waist, pulling her close. Bulma puttedher hands around his neck and held on to him. They took off heading towards Capsule
Corporation.
