Chapter Eight: Surprising guest.
A/n: Heya. Back again. Thanks for the reviews, MsBloodyRed and bulmas-angel and Trunks-lover5! -Hug and squeeze- Here's another one for you guys.
--------
"Hahahahaha!" Vegeta could hear her echoing of laughter even in the halls.
"No more Tequila for me.." He muttered as his face grew scarlet.
"Hey Vegeta!" Bulma said walking out in the hallway still in her PJ's. "I think it's time I got sweet revenge! You played Pranks on me, so here I am about to counter-attack! Isn't this lovely?" She said with a giggle.
"... Yes, lovely indeed." Vegeta remarked in a smart-alec way. Bulma grinned widely and caught up with him.
But Vegeta turned to face her and shot her a deadly glare. Bulma's grin turned kind of lop-sided. "What?" She asked. Miss Briefs looked at him puzzled, then he turned his head in the opposite direction.
"You do this and I will be humiliated forever." The Prince remarked in a low growl.
"Haha, so? Umm, knock knock? Have you forgotten that you humiliated me in the cafeteria, in front of Jerry, almost had me killed, and love to get on my nerves for your own entertainment?" She snapped.
"Whatever. Do as you please I won't hold you back." Vegeta said disapprovingly.
"Indeed I will." Bulma said crossing her arms over her chest much like Vegeta. The Prince looked at her and snorted. But Bulma smiled her bright childish smile, that would've got every guy's attention. "Perhaps I could use this as black mail on you."
"I don't understand how it would be. I'm not denying the fact that you can." Vegeta murmured.
"Hm.. Oh come on, if you don't want me to do it I won't, sheesh. No need to get all sad, or upset." Bulma said nudging him in the ribs.
"Come with me." Vegeta said as he walked outside. Obediently, Bulma followed.
"What?" She questioned looking up at him, as he leaned against the palace wall with his arms crossed over his chest adn his eyes fixed on the horizon in the distance. Blinking, she scratched her right leg where the Pj's were irritating her. "Well?" She asked.
The Saiyans eyes narrowed on something in the distance. His ebony eyes fixed on the bright suns that awoke from their slumber. The wind gently picked up as his eyes winced a bit from the oncoming rush of wind. The rays of the suns stretched out far, casting a glowing light atop everything it could reach. Some flowers bloomed when they sensed the sun, and bee's hovered in and out of them to collect pollen.
Tree's swayed as the wind caressed their leaves. Hills glistened with the morning dew, almost like as if someone poured a thousand bottles of glitter on them. A smirk came across Vegeta's lips as he watched this, then he turned his head towards Bulma. She looked at him with a questioning expression. "You do know I care about you, right? In more than a 'friendship' way." The Prince said using his fingers as quotes.
Miss Bulma, who was astonished looked out across the vast fields of green grass and blinked as she looekd down at her slippers on her feet. Vegeta saw her uneasiness and blinked as he looked the other way. "I didn't exactly expect you to respond. Afterall, I was a bit cruel on my part." A grin came over his lips.
"Well.." Bulma began. She shrugged a bit, then leaned next to the wall next to him. "Hmm.. I did.. Erm, do feel a bit the same way. You are kind of goofy when drunk, and even though you're stubborn, I find it very attractive."
"Is that so?" The Prince mentioned. She nodded, then he laughed as he pulled something from his pocket in his boxers. "Well, haha." He began as he pressed the stop button of the tape recorder in his hands. "I can't believe it! Haha, you of all people find me attractive. Oh Kami!" Bulma felt her face redden. -Should've known he'd do something like that..- Bulma felt embarrassed. But Vegeta laughed at her. "Whew.. Do you honestly think that I would like or possibly, love you?" He began to chuckle.
The blue haired beauty lowered her head as her face grew darker. "You know, Vegeta. It's funny when you record people doing stupid stuff. But to trick them into telling you the truth about how they feel about someone.. Then ragging on them because of it.. Isn't funny. I can honestly tell you, my heart's torn. Not because you rejected me. But because of the fact you made this into a joke." Bulma turned and walked away with an angered expression.
"You wuss! Hahaha!" Vegeta called.
"You sick man!" Bulma snapped loud enough for him to hear. Vegeta, catching the tone in her voice eased up a bit. -She couldn't possibly be serious, could she? After allt he bitching she did to me, and the stuff I puleld, she actually is attracted to me? Pfft.. Pathetic human.- He scowled a bit and headed in the opposite direction.
"What an idiot." Bulma murmured with her head down as she walked down a certain hall. "It's not funny to mess with people's feelings and affections. He obviously doesn't realize that it hurts me. But what does he care. He's the Prince of saiyans. Everything's a joke to him. Sometimes I just want to ki-" She was cut off when she walked into something. "Ow.." Bulma said blinking, and rubbing her head.
"Pardon me, ma'am." A deep dutch accent said. Bulma looked up at the man and smiled faintly.
"It's fine." She replied. With a quick bow, the man smiled at her sweetly. The green eyes on him made her feel a bit better. They looked so warm, and loveable. A strong face held the expression of 'Everything's going to be okay' look. Dirty blonde hair was neatly brushed on his head. A mushroom cut fit his looks greatly.
"I'm Dax." He said holding out a hand. "Who might you be? I've never seen you around before." Dax questioned.
"Bulma, Bulma Briefs." She said with a warm smile.
"I see. You look.. Different from the females on this planet. A bit taller, and definitely better looks. Are you from around here?" He asked smiling widely, his straight white teeth caught Bulma's attention. She looked at him in a daze and sighed quietly to herself.
"No, I'm not from here. It's really a long story. But I'm from Earth." She finished. Looking at her astonished, he blinked his emerald green eyes.
"Earth, eh? I heard it was beautiful up there."
"It is, it is." Bulma replied sweetly.
"I see. Well, you want me to show you around?" He questioned. "Perhaps I can take you up to my room. My wife would be happy to meet you."
"Sure." Bulma said. She couldn't help but show the disappointment.
"Okay, follow me." He grinned. She adored his smile. The kind of lop-sided grin that looked so funny. "I have some buddies up there too, that're probably dying to meet someone like you. May I ask, are you taken?"
Bulma thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, I'm not. Why the question?" She asked him.
Dax shrugged his shoulders. "Just shocked to see a lovely gal like you single. I don't see how any man would not like you." Miss Briefs felt her face redden. He could obviously see that and he smiled as they reached a specific room on the top floor. "Alright, here we are." He urged Bulma to walk in first. And so she did. but when she looekd around, to her surprise, there were about six men in there. And no women. Just her.
Bulma began to feel uneasy. "I think I should get back." She said heading for the door.
"Oh no you don't, little lady." Dax said with a smirk. Much to resemble Vegeta's. But even the saiyans warrior's smirk wasn't as dark as Daxs'. "I think you can do us all a great favor. Can't she boys?"
All began to speak agreeing with Dax. One patted his pants where his crotch was and grinned. "Sure can, baby." bulma felt sick to her stomach. She tried to push through, but Bulma was forced onto the bed a few feet back.
"Let go of me!" She demanded. But Dax and the others laughed as her clothing was being torn off by the sweet man, Bulma thought she ran into.
-------
"Ugh, women are so gullible. And so stupid!" Vegeta roared. But he had to admit he didn't mean to be that rough on her. Folding his arms over his chest, the Prince huffed as he made his way down the hall. "Stupid woman.. Did she really think I liked her? Haha! What a joke." He said with a bit of laughter. "What a joke.." He repeated. But this time he felt kind of bad. -I still remember that sad and embarrassed look on her face. Does she really like me or was she just messing around? No.. That look.. She was telling me the truth.-
The Prince walked to the end of a hallway all the way up on the top floor. He leaned his frame back against the wall and continued his thoughts. -But why? I would expect her to hate me for all the horrible shit I've done. And that's what I wanted.. originally. For some reason she feels attached to me, and although I don't admit it, I'm kind of the same way.- Blinking the Prince smacked himself in the head. -Get real! She's the one who mocked your life, and bitches at you when you ask a favor!-
A frustrated sigh came from the Saiyan Prince as he shook his head. "Stupid females.." He murmured. "Stupid females and their attractio-" He was cut off when he heard a short shriek. "What the hell.." Vegeta walked to the door where the scream came from then he leaned his ear to the door.
"Let go of me! Stop it!" A familiar voice echoed through Vegeta's ears. -Baka woman? What the hell is wrong with her?- He thought as he listened in, more closely. From what Vegeta could make out, he could hear male voices grunting. A frown crossed his face and he forced the door open.
As he walked in, he saw Dax ontop of Bulma trying to drop his pants. But when the door flung open, he looked behind himself and looked at Vegeta. "Get out of here! I'm busy." He ordered.
The famous Vegeta smirk came over his lips. "That's my woman you're messing with."
"Wait.. You said you weren't taken!" Dax glared at Bulma. The Briefs daughter's face was flush red and was drenched in tears.
"Fuck you, and get off of me!" She demanded. But Dax smiled at her and shook his head. Then looked over at his friends.
"Get him. Make sure he doesn't ruin my chances with this fine Bulma here." He remarked with a grin.
"Don't be rediculous." Vegeta closed his eyes and lowered his head as a fake yawn came over him, as a sign of 'You're weak and a waste of my time'. Of course, Dax's friends just grinned as they circled in on Vegeta. "You ask for it.
The Prince stepped forward, and within the blink of an eye, he kneed the first one in the stomach. Another charged at him, but with his knee still inplace in the persons gut, his right elbow rammed into the oncomers face. Colliding his bone right into his nose. With the other three coming at him, Vegeta grabbed the next two and slammed their heads together, then swung the fallen men into the last one, making them crash into the wall with a loud crash. "Idiots."
Vegeta clapped his hands as if to rid the dust. Then lifted all of the boys up and headed to the window. Opening the window with his foot, he held them all by the collar and allowed them to hang from his hand and to look at the ground fifty feet below them. "No, no, no!" One shouted. But the Prince saw a few nail like stubs coming out of the building, then hooked their shirts to them.
"How's it hangin'?" Vegeta cracked, chuckling. Then he turned to Dax who was trying his best to get his pants back up. WHen he did, and bolted to the door, Vegeta snagged him by the shirt and pulled him backwards, so he'd collide with the dresser. "No one touches my woman but me." Vegeta glared at the weakling in front of him, with his arms crossed.
"Y-y-yes sir!" Dax said getting up and running out the door.
Bulma looked in shock of Vegeta's actions, then sniffled a bit and sat up in bed. "Why me.." She muttered.
"Because obviously these males cannot control their horemones." The saiyan said. Bulma, shocked that he heard him reply sat up and wipped her eyes.
".. Thank you." She muttered.
"Sure." The Prince replied with a snort. Bulma glared at him for a moment for his attitude, then looked down and got up, rebuttoning her shorts and headed out the door. When she got to the door, Vegeta gripped her shoulder and pulled her somewhat back. "Look, woman," But he caught himself and growled a bit. Bulma looked up at him with big chibi like blue eyes. "I meant.. Ugh.. Bulma. I.didn't.mean.to.make.you.feel.bad.earlier.So.sorry.about.that." The Prince looked away infuriated with himself.
"How do I know this isn't another prank?" Bulma insisted to know.
"Well.." He growled trying to find the words. "in a sense, I.like.you.and.I'm.not.lying.or.kidding.about.this." Again, the ashamed saiyan looked away with his brows concentrating together.
"I don't know if I can trust you now. You've pulled to many things for me to trust you." Bulma snapped, then left the room with a growl.
"But I was serious.." He murmured. "Great.. I'm so fucking stupid.." He scowled at himself. "The one chance I do admit anything to her, she doesn't believe me! Outrageous!" He began to pace around the room. his furry was so high with himself, that he wasn't paying attention to where he was walking. Blinking, the warrior tripped over a box that was on the floor. Falling down, he landed on his face the same way he did when he was drunk the night before. A few twitches came over his body and he growled not bothering to get up. "FOR KAMI'S SAKE! HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO SCREW UP!" He shouted as his face was burried in the marble floor.
----
"Stupid Vegeta. Does he really think I'm going to fall for that again? He must be out of his mind." Bulma snorted walking back to the cafeteria. When she entered, she smiled a bit at the sudden scent of fresh cookings fill her nostrils. (I just made so many typos trying to spell 'Nostrils' -.-) Grabbing a plate she headed to one of the buffets and filled her plate up with fresh fruits and vegetables as well as a sugar cookie and a chicken breast. "Nummeh." She said eager to begin eating.
Pulling her hair to the right and resting it on her shoulder she smiled and began to eat up the food that she put onto her plate. -I did hint a bit of sensativity when I barked at him. But hell, that's how he acted the first time! I'm not an idiot, and he damn well knows that.- She thought chewing on a piece of lettuce.
----
"I need a drink." Vegeta muttered as he walked around the palace. "A few shots of Tequila sounds good.." But then he looked at his arms as they felt light-weighted. "Wait.. I wonder.." He began walking to the front desk where the blonde gal gave them their room key. "Hey." He demanded. She turned around and smiled as she saw him.
"What can I do for you?" She asked.
"Do you guys have a training room. Like a gravity chamber." He didn't bother asking, instead he demanded the answer with his tone of voice.
"Yes, we do. It's on the eastern end of the palace. You can't miss it, it's very large. Just go out the enterance here, and you will see a seperate wing. The building is large, and has everything you need for body building muscles." She instructed.
Without saying his thanks (As usual) Vegeta walked out of the door and headed his way to the wing. When he walked in, there had to be around fifty men lifting weights and kick-boxing. "Weaklings.." Vegeta muttered. One gal however, was in a boxing ring and was beating every man's ass in the ring.
A long brown french braid was tied in the back of her hair. The braid stopped at the top of her tail bone, and her hazel eyes glistened with victory as she knocked out the next man. Sweat drizzled down her neck and to her black sports bra as she fought. Black gym shorts were on her legs, they were loose, but not so loose they'd fall. Strong creases of muscle formed her arms and legs. Abs were strongly placed on her stomach and shot out everytime she made a twist in her movement.
A few freckles spotted her face, but as she smiled a dimple would appear at the left side of her mouth. Pearly white teeth glowed brightly from the light above as she smiled. Vegeta caught himself staring at her, then forced himself to look away. But to his surprise, he saw something wrapped around her tail. As his eyes narrowed in, he saw it was brown. It looked soft, but was dabbed in sweat.
As she hopped from the ring, and went for a glass of water, the thing unwrapped from her waist and twitched a bit as she walked. -A saiyan!- Vegeta thought as shocked as ever. He was tempted to walk to her, but he didn't have too. She came to him.
"Hello there. Do you want to fight me as well? I'm afraid that you'll be going down like the rest of these men." She remarked with a smirk.
"Hmmp, highly doubtful, but I accept." He said with a hence of victory in his ebony eyes.
"Fantastic! You look a bit stronger than these weaklings, so this should be interesting." She replied with a small smile. "Come." She urged. Setting down her glass of water, and dabbing her face with a white towel to rid the sweat, she hopped up on the stage. "Ready?" She asked getting in her fighting position.
Vegeta nodded with that famous proud smirk. "Give all you got." He urged. She shrugged and dashed after him. She wasn't all that fast, Vegeta thought. But the woman disappeared and reappeared behind the Prince with a smirk, then rammed her fist into the middle of his spine. She managed to push Vegeta a bit. But he turned around with a devilish grin. "Not bad." He remarked, then knife hand struck at her neck, which sent her flying out of the ring.
Astonished, the woman stood up as she found herself out of the ring. -I lost..- She thought, blinking and standing up. Everyone clapped for Vegeta and shouted the normal's, 'Great job!' 'Outstanding!' 'Woo-hoo!'. But the saiyan ignored their comments and walked over to the woman who he made fall.
"Geeze, you aren't like any normal man." She coughed wiping the small amount of blood off of her lips. "What are you? I mean, what race are you of?" She questioned, coiling her soft brown monkey-like tail around her waist.
"Saiyans." He replied with a small grin.
Her jaw dropped as she blinked. "You are? As well as myself. Odd, I didn't think any other saiyans survived besides me."
"What's your name?" He demanded.
"Well, Mr. Pushy, I'm Melina." She replied with her eyes crossed and tongue hanging out at him. The name struck Vegeta, but he couldn't quite figue the name as to where it was from.
"I see.." He replied still trying to figure the name out.
"What about yours?" Melina asked taking a sip of her water.
"Vegeta. Prince of Saiyans." Vegeta bragged. But Melina's eyes widened as she heard this, then dropped her glass of water.
"Vegeta!" She exclaimed.
"Yes.. That's my name. Now why does your name ring a bell in my hea-" He was cut off by a tight hug from around his waist. "What's the matter with you!"
"You don't remember?" She forced a nervous laugh as she let go. "I'm your fiance." Vegeta looked at her then at the floor, but took a double-take and his eyes widened.
"You're what!" He shouted, surprised. She smiled at him and nodded. -Holy shit..- "What are you doing on this planet?" He asked her.
"Well, I heard there were decent fighters here, so I came to check it out. But it seems as though they're all weak." She finished. But then she coiled her arms around his waist again and snuggled her nose to his chest. "I never thought I'd see you again.." She said softly.
Vegeta on the other hand didn't really recall this reunion. But then it struck him..
--Flashback--
"Aww Vegeta! I'm going to miss you, hurry back soon, okay?" A young, high pitched voice called to him.
"Yeah, yeah." He remarked. Vegeta was about the age of sixteen and the woman was of fifteen. She came up to him and snuggled him from the waist. The Prince actually smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. When all of this is over, I'll come back for you. I promise." He hugged her tightly.
"Promise?"
"Promise. Melina, you don't need to worry about me. I'm the Prince of Saiyans and I can handle just about anything." Vegeta said releasing his hug.
"Well, okay." Melina replied. "Bring me back a sovunier, you know.. Someone's head or something." She cracked kissing him on the cheek.
"Sure thing." He said, then he departed with his father into a ship. "I don't recall the need to go to work for Frieza. He's nothing but a low life." The Prince snorted.
".. Well, we have to. It's our duty." King Vegeta protested. Of course, the young Prince didn't agree.
Staring out the window, he thought about Melina. How he was just the right person for him. She was pushy, just like him, she wouldn't take no for an answer, and she was cruel. That's what Vegeta liked about her. But with a blink of an eye, a large light came towards his home. It was in a giant ball like form.
The energy was a big as a sun, and it slowly came towards Planet Vegeta. (So many Vegeta names. oo; I wouldn't surprised if their name brand was called 'Vegeta' . ) Within a blink of the eye, the planet was gone. It exploded and debris flew out into the arms of the dark,cold space. "No.." Vegeta said with a shocked look. "Melina.." For the first time, his eyes glossed in tears. The first woman he ever respected. The one he was going to marry and have children with, was now gone.. "Damn you Frieza.. I'll have my revenge." The Prince growled as his head lowered and a tear slowly emitted from his right eye. Then another out of his left. "I will have my revenge." He repeated gritting his teeth, and clenching his fists..
----End Flashback----
"What're you thinking about?" Melina questioned. Vegeta blinked and shook his head. Then looked down at her and smiled as he took her womanly body curves to sink into his eyes.
"I didn't think you survived." He said quietly. Melina looked up at him with her hazel eyes turning a bit green.
"I thought the same. But we're together now. And that's all that matters." She replied with her head resting on his chest.
Vegeta nodded uncertain. Yet Bulma ran through his mind. He even admitted that she changed him. "Come on, lets go kill some people. Like old times!" She urged grabbing him by the hand and leading him outside. The saiyan Prince didn't find this amusing. He saw enough people killed in a lifetime. And just as he thought, Bulma did change him. He didn't want to really kill anything or anyone. Although he may act it, he doesn't want to blow off people's heads on purpose.
Melina saw a man walking by and giggled. "I'll take this one." With concentration on her hands, she pulled them back into a spider-like position then forced them forward towards her victim. The yellow and red light dashed from her hand and collided with the man's head, making it burst. His body fell to the ground and he laid in his own puddle of blood. "Bulls-eye." She said clapping.
She continued this, as Vegeta watched with a sickening expression. She was definitely enjoying herself, but Vegeta wasn't. After three people killed, an old man with a cane began to walk by. He looked to be in his ninties, and Melina insisted that she'd take this one, then it was his turn. Vegeta didn't say anything, but when he saw the helpless old man, and her energy builidng, he smacked the blast out of her hands. The energy went flying in the air and exploded somewhere in space.
"Enough. Look, I'm not what you think I am anymore." He said softly. "I've changed."
"Huh?" She questioned puzzled.
"Follow me." He urged. Vegeta, being able to sense Bulma's energy made his way to the cafeteria. Looking around, he spotted a blue haired gorgeous woman sitting there, taking the last few bites of her meal. She looked a bit upset, but Vegeta smiled at the sight of her.
The two saiyans walked to her, then just as Bulma stood up and turned around, Vegeta was in front of her. "V-Vegeta.. Hello." She said disappointed.
"Hello." He replied. Then he turned to his 'fiance' and pulled her over. "Melina, this is Bulma. Bulma, Melina." He said grunting.
"So? What does this human have to do with us? She's nothing but a low-life. And she looks like a whore." Melina snapped, glaring at Bulma. Shocked, the blue eyed beauty looked at Vegeta then to Melina and tilted her head.
"So.. I'm not the same person. I've grown attached to this female, actually.. And I can't believe I'm saying this aloud.. Shit.. Anyway, I'm not the same person I was seven years ago." He remarked.
"Wait.. Haha, wait a second. You choose her over me?" Melina questioned. "Hello? I'm a saiyan. She's human. She can't defend for herself if her life counted on it!"
"Maybe not.." Vegeta said growing irritated. "But for a human, she's very appealing. More than one way.." Bulma smiled a bit hearing this come from Vegeta. -Wait, this could be another prank..- Bulma thought.
"This is another prank, isn't it!" Bulma said with a sharp glare. "I knew it.. You need to stop this." She glared at Vegeta.
"No, woman! I'm not!" The Prince roared.
"Bullshit.. How can I trust you? Give me one good reason why I should!" Looking at Melina, she frowned. "And training outfit looks horrible on you. You should've gotten a smaller size in bra, you have no chest." Melina jolted at Bulma, but to her surprise, Bulma didn't move.
She swung a fist towards the Briefs face, but Bulma stepped to the side and launched her arm back and nailed her in the nose. Hard enough to make Melina wince in pain and draw back. "You slut.." She huffed. Vegeta shook his head and sighed. -Great! Just fucking great. The one I actually.. what is it... love, thinks I'm a joke! Then Melina hates her guts and I have to deal with it.- He sighed and held Melina by the arm as Bulma left.
"That woman has a lot of nerve.. She's a fucking prick." Melina snorted.
"Melina, you do understand I don't love you, right?" Vegeta said with a stern expression. She looked at him with a furious face.
"You weren't kidding.. Insane! I will NOT take no as an answer. If I have to destroy everything in the world to be with you, believe me, I will." She snapped heading in the same direction Bulma went. "In fact," She started to say as she looked at Vegeta. "I'll go take care of the spoiled brat for you.." With that Melina walked out of the cafeteria, and everyone had their curious eyes on him.
He looked back at them and coughed. "And that's how women act when jealous." The men agreed but the women turned back to their conversations and began to eat again. One gal threw carrot cake at his face.
"You jerk!" She yelled. The came up to him, ready to take the cake in the plastic container back. but Vegeta smelled the pastery and snatched it.
"MINE MINE MINE! MY CARROT CAKE! BACK OF SISTAH!" He shouted drawing back to a dark corner and stuffing his face with the sweet treat..
----
A/n: Sounds liek competition between Melina and Bulma. Although Bulma has no interest in Vegeta. Well, she does, obviously, but thinks he's trying to pull another prank. How will Vegeta prove to her that he isn't lying? Please review!
