Trouble with Pride

Vegeta:

I sit in the pits of Hell watching all the evil souls go by. They hardly notice me, those that do quickly walk away. They must know me. I keep thinking if my father is somewhere nearby, I hope he isn't, what if he found out about everything that happened after I went back to Earth? Then again I don't really care. I just don't want to hear his stupid speeches for all eternity.

I think back realizing I have nothing to hide. So what if I had a son? So what if he is half-Sayian? So what I married a weak human female? It's not like I regret it.

My eyes widen in realization over what I just admitted. I do not regret the family that I had on Earth. I guess I do regret leaving them. I don't know I have forever to dwell on it and I don't feel like dwelling on it right now.

I close my eyes and focus on the ki down here. I can sense Freeza and Cell. But not Babadi, odd. I thought I killed him, maybe he was outside the blast range. Oh well the Namek will take care of him eventually. If not Kakarot will eventually get him before he leaves. I wonder if he would want to come down here for a spar. No Kakarot wouldn't want anything to do with this place. Oh well, if I get bored I can always go beat on Freeza and Cell. That would be fun.

I smirk to myself when I feel it. It is definitely weaker than Freeza or Cell but I recognize it all the same. My Father. He is far away at the moment and I hope it stays that way. I open my eyes and lay down on the burning ground. I look up to the sky and see the black clouds covering it. It looks like the storms they get on Earth. I remember the first time that happened…

10 years ago.

I had been on Earth training for over four months and made it to 300 on the gravity machine. It was getting late so I decided to get back to the house to get a brief rest before training in the early morning. The woman had been working on stuff during the time or was with the weakling most of the time, I barely saw her. Which at the time was a miracle.

I turned off the gravity and walked out of the room. That was when I felt the drops of water coming from the sky. I had been to planets when it rained but those planets when it rained it never stopped. I looked up confused at the clouds overhead. I shrugged my shoulders and walked to the house as it started pouring.

I opened the door and walked in dripping wet form the rain. I decided to get a quick snack before I went to sleep. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I started grabbing some food and then I heard something. It wasn't the loud patter of rain outside it was softer. Tiny footsteps coming down the stairs and into the kitchen. I looked up and saw her. She was wearing her very small pink nightgown and had her short hair down to her shoulders.

I just stared at her and shut the fridge with my food and walked over to her. "What are you doing awake woman?" I demanded.

She just stared looking me up and down. "Vegeta you are soaked!" She said rather loudly.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes that tends to happen on planets where it rains now answer my question."

She looked down at her feet. "I couldn't sleep," she returned her gaze to me. "Vegeta if you don't put on something dry you are going to catch a cold."

I just laughed at her comment. "Ha I am a Sayian I don't get sick." I smirked at her confused face.

But, me being Kamidamned and all, sneezed at that very next second. I looked at my hand in confusion. I heard the damn woman giggling at me. "And what is so funny woman!"

She walked into the kitchen and reached up into a cabinet. "You might Prince, you have never had a cold?"

I just watched her as she took out a bottle and walk back over to me. "No," I said flatly.

She opened the bottle and gave me a blue looking pill. "What the hell is that? You are trying to poison me now?" I said taking a step back from her outstretched hand.

She rolled her eyes and took a step forward. "Trust me if I was trying to poison you, your last words would be: 'this food is disgusting woman I demand you make something worthy of a Pri- ahhhh.' And then you would collapse." She mocked me, even used a deep voice to try and imitate me.

I glared at her taking a step towards her. "How dare you mock me! Do you have a death wish? I could level your house if I wanted so don't dare try to test me." I warned her.

She pulled back her hand and took another step towards me with a damned smirk on her face. "If you were going to hurt me, then you would have done it already. And besides if you did blow me up, where would you go?"

I took another step forward with my mouth open about to yell but I stopped. She was right, I didn't have anywhere to go besides here. And the next thing I knew she put that cursed pill in my open mouth smirking at her victory. I gulped it down involuntarily, to this day I don't know why I did.

I dropped all the food in my hand and grabbed her shoulders pushing her against the wall. I glared at her as she was shocked that I just grabbed her. "Woman do you want to die?" I yelled at her. A flash of fear came across her face before she covered it up. She looked up to me with a pleading look.

"Then do it Vegeta." Was all she said before closing her eyes.

I stared at her for Kami knows long. I could hear her heart beating wildly against her chest. My eyes went from hers to her lips. My thoughts took an unexpected turn. 'She looks so fragile but yet she challenges me. She isn't that bad looking either…' I shook those thoughts and released her. I turned and stormed out of the kitchen and into my room. I sat on my bed staring out the window. The soft patter of rain echoed in my head like the sound her heart made.

"Damn she is haunting my thoughts."

I smirked to myself at how true those words were to my situation right now. She haunted my every thought, how ironic.

I sit up and look at the ground. It was dirt that was on fire for some reason, I don't know how Hell works. The heat doesn't affect me very much. I think back to my family and how they are. Hopefully happy, I don't need them mourning over me.


Bulma:

Trunks and Goten are trying to learn the Fusion technique to defeat Majin Buu. I wish that they didn't have to fight, but Goku says they are the last hope. I smile at my son as he practices the sill dance moves required for it. He seems so much like his father, determined, never backing away from a fight and caring.

I know Vegeta never seemed like the caring type but he did get around and felt the need to protect others. It wasn't an overnight thing but after the Cell games he had changed. Especially with Trunks.

7 years ago.

It was two weeks after the Cell games and Trunks had gone back to the future. Vegeta had said he was going to stay and had actually agreed to watching Trunks while I went to see Chi-Chi.

When I got back I didn't hear any yelling or crying so either Vegeta knocked out Trunks or Trunks was missing and Vegeta was trying to find him. When I walked in the front room it was neither. There Vegeta lay on the couch asleep with his mouth slightly open. But the surprising thing was that Trunks lay on his chest asleep also and Vegeta had held him there protectively with his left arm.

The once big and mighty Price of Sayians now lay with his son asleep. I smiled down at my two men and then searched frantically for a camera. I found one in my office and made sure the flash was off before taking one or two or eight pictures of the two.

Least to say when I showed Vegeta one of them he wasn't too happy. In fact he made sure that no one would ever see it by burning the photo in his hand. Luckily he didn't know about the other seven I had.

My smile disappears as I think of him. I need to stop doing that it is only going to hurt me more. I don't want to believe that I am alone with Trunks but unfortunately I am whether I like it or not.

I quickly get up and run back to my room and close the door. I feel the tears I was holding back for the past few hours finally start to have their way. I have stopped trying to put any more make-up on because it just gets ruined anyway. I lay down on the bed and cry. It seems that is all I can do anymore is cry.

I can't help it though, just when everything was going good he goes and throws his life away like he didn't have anything to lose. It was always like him to forget about me. He probably doesn't even give me a second thought, he is probably like Goku in the other world somewhere training.

But I can't help but to let the one thought come through my mind. 'He really does miss you.'


Vegeta:

I grip my chest as a sharp pain hits me. It seemed sharp at first but tones down to a throbbing pain. I pant thinking what the hell is this? I look around and no one seems to be messing with me and there is no wound from a sword or anything. But it feels like it is coming from inside my ribs. Like it is coming from my….. heart.

I look up at realization at what it is. "Bulma…."


Fin.
