Until I met You...

Chapter 9

Needless to say, they kept Yamcha away from the compound. I woke up in my room, feeling like I'd been hit repeatedly, by a two-by-four. My tail ached as well. I let out a yelp, and looked behind me. Yeah! I still had it! Oh God! What the hell is gonna happen to me next! Should I have said that!? I seem to be jinxing myself lately!

I jumped up, going to the bathroom. I locked the door behind me, hesitating for a minute before looking in the mirror. Yes! I was terrified to see what I looked like now! I sighed with relief. It wasn't too bad. I still looked like me, just stronger. If that makes any sense at all!

My eyes were still green, my hair was now black, but that wasn't really a worry, seeing as how my hair had been dark brown to begin with. And it had a lot of volume now. It kinda stood like Goku's, but it went down, not up. It just had a lot of oomph! My muscles seemed more defined than before, and I felt like I could take on the world! Is this what Goku and Vegeta feel all the time!? Wow! It was amazing!

I slowly wrapped my hand around my tail, studying it. I didn't want to accidentally make myself pass out! The pain of Vegeta squeezing it was still fresh, and I felt a small growl escape. Damn him! He and Goku had no right! I sighed, rubbing my hand down the length, finding it interesting that it was soft, real soft! Not what I was expecting at all! I was thinking it would feel more like course hair, and prickly! It felt silky, and soft as butter! Interesting! I let it go, watching in the mirror as it automatically wrapped around my waist again. Huh! It was an odd sensation, the feel of it around my body, the slight pull against my lower back. I guess I would have to get used to it now! Damn Yamcha! Idiot!

I muttered a little to myself, before leaving the bathroom, noting that Vegeta was no where around. I blinked, looking around the room. His stuff was gone. My chest suddenly felt tight! What the hell! I swallowed, a sinking sensation starting in my chest. I studied the room again, before leaving and making my way down to the living room.

No one was there, but I knew people were in the house. I could feel their energy! That was kinda weird! But I knew from watching the show back home that a fighter could do that. Just for one thing! I'm not a fighter! Pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind, I went in search of life.

I found Goku in the backyard, sparring with Gohan. I winced a little as I walked up to him, avoiding his eyes. I shifted a little, rubbing a foot against my leg as I mumbled my apologies. I finally looked up when he stayed silent. He had a small smile on his face.

"It's okay Bella, things happen for a reason," he said softly, studying me.

I raised an eyebrow at that, but didn't comment. I smiled a little at Gohan before asking Goku the question mainly on my mind.

"Have you seen Vegeta?" I asked softly, my eyes widening as he kept silent.

He finally sighed, momentarily closing his eyes before looking back at me. "No, I haven't."

I swallowed, staring at the ground for a moment before crossing my arms. I furrowed my brows, a little confused.

"Well," I said slowly, "have you seen Bulma?"

He nodded slowly, gesturing behind me. I turned, watching the woman slowly walk up to me. What the hell! Is she scared of me or something! I almost laughed at that. She stopped a foot away from me, staring for a moment before seeming to shake herself out of it.

"Bella," she paused, looking away for a moment before glancing back. "Are you still wanting to help me in the lab?"

I quirked an eyebrow at that, knowing she wasn't going to ask me that a moment ago. But I didn't say anything about it, just grunted a little as I unconsciously searched the compound for Vegeta's energy. I didn't find it. A little confused, I turned my attention to the woman in front of me. I started walking back with her towards the house, my eyes searching the grounds.

"Have you seen Vegeta?" I asked, seeming for the third or fourth time! I watched, frowning, as she shook her head. Why doesn't anyone know where he is!? Why hasn't anyone seen him!?

"When's the last time you saw him?" I looked around, but my head whipped towards Bulma when I heard her answer.

"At the lookout," she said softly, swallowing as she let me study her.

"Bulma," I said this softly, my gaze going to the ground. "How long have I been out of it?"

"At least a week. Vegeta had to grab your tail pretty hard to stop you from killing Yamcha," she said softly, almost a whisper.

I winced, my body flinching a little. "I'm sorry," I looked back up at her when she raised a hand.

"Again. Don't apologize for something Yamcha did. He's an idiot! And he brought it on himself, wishing that!"

I nodded a little, before swallowing. Why was Vegeta's stuff out of my room!? Where was the prince!? I glanced over at Bulma.

"Did you take Vegeta's stuff out of my room?" I asked, watching her eyes widen.

She slowly shook her head, still staring at me with round eyes. I sucked in a breath, fearing the worst. Oh God! Then Vegeta did it himself! Why!? Did he leave me!?

I suddenly turned and blasted off, not thinking twice about being able to fly, seeing as how I couldn't a few days ago! I searched for the man's energy, but was never able to locate it. What the hell! Where is he!?Did he...is he in space!? Wouldn't they have said so, if that were the case? Suddenly terrified about what all this means, I slowly lowered onto the ground, barely registering the rush of the waterfall I landed beside.

I sank to the ground, taking a shuddering breath. What do I do now? I can't go back home! The dragon already said that I couldn't!? Wouldn't that make Vegeta happy, if he really loved me!? Was he telling the truth? Is he angry that I already had a few children? I can't help that! Did it put him off, to think of me with someone else before him!? But he knew I wasn't a virgin when we had sex the first time! What the hell!? Why would he just...leave me like that!?

I felt a burning in my chest, taking a deep breath. I wrapped my arms around my raised knees, resting my chin on my legs. I didn't move, not even when it began to darken, the light quickly leaving as the stars appeared. I stayed where I was, not really wanting to go back if Vegeta wasn't gonna be there! What the hell am I supposed to do with myself now! Before I had a goal: to get home to my boys! Now that that is closed to me, what do I do? Live here! How am I gonna live here without a job, no money? I have that little bit from helping Bulma, but that's not gonna last long! I have to eat after all! And now with a saiyan appetite! Shit! I was famished at the moment by the way! But I didn't move, punishing myself with no food! I groaned, rubbing my stomach.

I sighed after a few minutes, looking back up at the stars. I know it sounds archaic, and stupid! But I couldn't see myself living here without Vegeta around. I just couldn't! He...he's become so important to me, and I don't know what I'm gonna do if he leaves me. God! That sounds so pathetic! But...YOU try being with a man like that, then suddenly having him taken from you! Ha! Thought so! You wouldn't be able to stand it! I winced again, my stomach gnawing now.

I moved, leaning against a tree as I stared at the water. It started getting chilly, and I knew it was getting late. I still didn't leave, not wanting to go back to the compound if a certain prince wasn't there. And according to Bulma, he hasn't been there in days! You would think he would want to know that I'm alright! Especially getting wished into another race, and everything! But he wasn't! And now the pain in my chest has worsened. Damn! I rubbed between my breasts, letting out a sigh. How come I keep jinxing myself! When I think it couldn't possibly get worse, or more complicated! Somehow, it does! Shit!


I spent around three days there, just thinking, taking dips into the water now and then, before finally leaving and slowly heading back to Capsule Corporation. I didn't go to the house though, I landed in the garden. My sanctuary.

I sighed, slowly sitting down on the bank of the creek, not looking up at the rustling behind me. A moment later the cat crawled in my lap, seeming unfazed that I was different. Different hair, different body (somewhat), even different blood flowing through my veins! But it seemed to recognize me, non the less. For some reason, that made me start bawling. I grabbed the cat to me, being careful with this new strength, and sobbed. I could feel it's tongue rasping against my hand, and it head bunted me, laying down in my lap. It was sleeping now. It amazed me that it would be so trusting, laying in the lap of someone who could now crush it.

Another sob ripped from my throat, realizing something. That's how it was with Vegeta. He could have snapped my neck with a flick of his wrist, but he was so gentle with me! I closed my eyes, swallowing. How come stuff like this happens to me!? Who did I piss off that would make my life constantly in hell!? What am I gonna do now, not real sure if Bulma will kick me out this time or not. Her boyfriend did get his ass beat, again!, thanks to me! I doubt she would put up with this much!

I sighed, looking down at the cat in my lap. It was awake, watching me. And just like every other time, it lifted its front paws onto my shoulder, rubbing its head against my face, before shooting off and disappearing. I sighed again, slowly standing. I guess if Bulma is gonna kick me out, might as well beat her to it. I paused, studying the sky again, my arms crossed, my tail wrapping around me, before swallowing and turning away from the moonlight. I started back towards the entrance, deep in thought.

I slowly walked across the grounds, my brows furrowed in thought. I wrapped my arms around myself, ignoring the beauty of the night as I stepped into the kitchen. I could feel energies in the house, but they seemed to be sleeping. Thankful for small favors, I made my way to my room, leaning against the door once I got inside.

I studied the bed, where I kept my laptop underneath the mattress. I walked over and pulled it out. A feeling of despair went through me to see all the pictures of my boys had vanished. I plugged in the USB, pulling up all my work. And taking a deep breath, slowly erased everything. I had no use for it now, no desire to continue anything I had been working on. They were just stories, fiction, something that I was actually living at the moment. I finally finished, clenching my jaw.

I shut the computer off, staring at it for a moment before throwing it, uncaring, onto the bed. I quickly changed into my blue training uniform, knowing it will be more comfortable for what I was planning to do. I pulled the boots on, pausing and sitting in silence for a moment. I rubbed my eyes, slowly letting a breath out before standing. Ripping a slight hole in the back for my tail, I slowly made my way back down the stairs. I paused at the sliding door, taking one more look around. Thinking of Vegeta had me almost running back upstairs, to sit there and wait and see if he showed. But no, he had made it perfectly clear that he wasn't interested in me anymore. If he ever actually loved me at all! His actions say otherwise, though, and that's what finally had me stepping out, softly closing the door behind me. Within seconds, I was gone.


I flew. I can't even tell you for how long, or where! I just...did. I didn't pay any attention to the direction I was headed, didn't really care, to tell the truth. I was hurting too damn bad! I finally landed, when I couldn't feel the others energy any more, and sat. I laied my hands in my lap, and just studied the terrain. I had landed on an outcrop of a mountain, and scooted back, leaning against the wall of rock. It was chilly up here, but I didn't care. Just sighed, my tail wrapping around my middle.

I stared out for awhile, not really seeing anything. I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I know, I'm jerking awake, still leaning against the wall of the mountain. Then I felt it. Goku's energy. I dimmed mine, almost to nonexistent, minutes before Goku appeared. He stopped a ways from my hiding place, looking around. I pinched my mouth closed, sorta angry that he would come looking for me, when I clearly did not want to be found. Someone else appeared beside him. My eyes widened. Vegeta! I thought...I thought he didn't want anything to do with me! I watched them look around, sighing a little because diminishing my ki for so long was wearing me down. But I lowered it even more, not really caring, and watched them. They weren't moving, just looking around. It was like they knew what I was doing, and waiting for me to either pass out, or show myself. Neither! Dammit!

I crawled away, making my way down the other side of the mountain. I didn't use any energy. It wasn't hard, had twenty-six years of experience doing it after all! I paused at the bottom, holding my breath and looking up. They were still floating in the air, seeming to search the sky. I backed away, keeping them in sight until I went around the damn mountain, then ran. I know! I'm a coward! But I couldn't bear it if Vegeta looked at me with indifference! And I really didn't want to find out if he was using me or not! I was a human, well used to be, after all! I know he didn't really care for humans. Maybe I was just a distraction! A way for him to let loose some sexual frustration. Flattering! But it would still hurt!

So I kept my ki level at almost nonexistent, and left them behind, hiding in a cave miles away. Praying that they would leave soon, I leaned my head back against the cavern wall, and waited.

They were there for awhile. I almost passed out from having my damn energy so suppressed, but they finally left after a couple hours. I sighed, keeping my eyes closed as I let my power come out. And regretted it as soon as I did. Because as soon as I let my block down, I felt Vegeta's power. It was right outside. Shit! I suppressed my ki again, but it was too late. He walked in, his gaze going straight to me. I bit my tongue, keeping from cursing out loud. Why was he here? He didn't care, did he? We studied one another as I slowly stood, letting out a breath. I crossed my arms, finally looking away and staring at the ground. My tail wrapped around my waist, tensing as he took a step forward.

"Why did you leave," I heard him whisper, taking another step towards me.

A little surprised at the question, I looked up. Our gazes met, and I clenched my jaw.

"Why did you?" I countered, watching his eyes narrow slightly. He took another step towards me, crossing his arms. He finally stopped, his feet shoulder width apart. He looked angry. A muscle was jumping in his jaw, and his eyes narrowed even more. We stayed in silence for several minutes.

"I didn't," he stated softly, watching my eyes widen.

I studied him for a moment before speaking. "But," I swallowed, looking away. "I thought you did."

I heard him move, and glanced back at him. He was standing in front of me, looking down at me with narrowed eyes. His eyes roamed my face, before his voice echoed in the small cave.

"Why would you think that?" he whispered. I softly gasped as I felt him lay his hands on my waist, tightening briefly, his touch gentle. I bit my lip, not saying anything for several minutes. I hesitated a little, wandering if I just overreacted or not! I turned my head and met his eyes.

"You took all your stuff out of my room, and you weren't around," I said softly, wincing a little at how childish that sounded to me. Vegeta didn't say anything, just continued to study me. I laid my forehead against his chest, slowly. I didn't know if he would push me away or not! But he didn't, staying still as I let out a sigh, leaning a little more into him and closing my eyes. I felt my tail unravel from my waist, wrapping itself around one of his wrists. His hands tightened on my hips again, pulling me a little closer without a word. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, letting a breath out.

I felt the prince bury his head in my neck, his lips against my skin. I wiggled closer to him, a small smile appearing when he wrapped his arms around me, bringing me flush against him. I tightened my hold around his neck, listening to the silence. He still hadn't said anything, and I bit my lip. His chest vibrated against my ear as he spoke.

"Me and Trunks were out scouting. To make sure there were no more surprises at Dr. Gero's lab," he explained softly, his lips still against my skin.

"Why didn't anyone tell me? Why did they let me think you had left?"

Vegeta raised his head, meeting my eyes for a moment before his narrowed. A muscle started jumping in his cheek.

"Let's go find out," he said softly, before grabbing my hand and leaving the cave.


Okay, so it was all unintentional! They didn't mean to convey that he had left me, but it sure as hell sounded like it at the time! And he said he had moved his stuff out so that it wouldn't seem like he was overwhelming me! You know, what with me being turned into a saiyan and everything! He had wanted to give me room! Especially after finding out I would never see my boys again! He's so sweet sometimes, even if I don't realize it at the time! I made him move it right back in!

I've come to terms, a while back, that I might never see my two sons again. Especially after the one year mark when I was still here! I looked over at the prince, putting clothes away in his drawers, and softly smiled. I leaned back against the headboard, still watching him with heavy lidded eyes. He slowly closed the dresser, studying a gray shirt in his hands. It was the one he had given me when I first got here. He glanced up, pausing when he caught me studying him. He watched me as he sat the shirt down without looking, slowly strolling towards me.

I felt a thrill go through me at the sight of him. He stopped at the end of the bed, studying me with a raised brow. I didn't say anything though, just slid my gaze over him before meeting his eyes again. He smirked, crawling onto the mattress, slowly coming towards me. I watched him, staying where I was. He rested his hands on either side of my hips, his gaze going over me before he lowered his head, wrapping his arms around my waist as he buried his head in my stomach. I rested my hands on either side of his face, basically cradling his head. I could feel his lips on me, a breath escaping him as he stayed where he was. Heat came off him, making me silently sigh.

I ran my hands through his hair, both of us staying like that for awhile, until he raised up a little and moved my shirt, exposing my belly. He kissed my stomach, his hands on my hips. He did it again, moving just below my bellybutton. I bit back a moan, watching him. He didn't look up at me, just continued to run his lips over my skin. He got to my abdomen, and ran his tongue across my exposed skin, a moan escaping me that time. His lips met the waist band of my pants. He grasped it between his teeth, and pulled. He ran a hand up my stomach, my muscles contracting at the feel of him against me.

He tugged with his teeth again, and my pants slid down my hips. I wiggled a little, a low moan coming out. He still didn't look at me, just started kissing my abdomen again, before spreading my legs and kissing my thighs. He ran his tongue slowly up each thigh, making me shiver. He did my panties the same as my pants, grabbing them with his teeth and pulling. They slid off easily, and he paused, running his lips across my thighs before grazing his teeth against my skin. I lifted my hips, groaning. He still hadn't looked at me as he spread my thighs, lowering slowly and licking me. He took his time, seeming not in any hurry.

I clenched the covers, a cry escaping me. He licked me again, slowly moving across my skin, as if he was savoring the taste. He pushed my legs wider, laying his mouth over me. A shout escaped me, and I arched my back. Oh God! He didn't let up, even when I came, my thighs shaking. He continued to lick me, a low moan coming from me as I lifted my hips.

He suddenly lifted up, grabbing me and turning me around. I lifted up on my hands and knees, looking at him over my shoulder. He still hadn't looked at me, which I thought was curious, but didn't really think about it as he grabbed my tail. I paused, not moving. He finally looked at me, his eyes meeting mine as he started moving his hand. He rubbed his hand down my tail, his touch feather light. I shuddered, closing my eyes. He softly clenched his hand around it, slowly moving up and down my tail. I could actually feel a purr emerging. I arched my back, pleasure going through me.

He continued to rub my tail, a soft moan escaping me as it felt like I was going to come again. He let it go, grabbing my waist as he plunged into me from behind. A cry escaped me at the feel of him, buried inside me. My tail wrapped around his arm, seeming to try to hold him there. He slowly moved, his hands still grasping my hips as he went in and out. The soft pace was driving me wild, and I pushed back on him, listening to him growl. I shivered, doing it again.

He kept his slow pace, his hands tightening on me. I could feel his muscles clenching, and looked back at him. His eyes were at half mass, studying me, his jaw clenched. He seemed to be holding on by a thread. I wanted him to snap. I bucked against him, watching him growl a second time, his teeth flashing. I arched my back, and did it again.

I grabbed the headboard as he started slamming into me, a low growl coming from him. I lowered my shoulders to the bed, a moan coming from my throat. I felt him pause, pushing my legs further apart, before slamming into me again. Oh My God! He seemed to go deeper, his hands on my waist, holding me in place. I couldn't have moved if I wanted to! I reached back and laied a hand over his as I felt an orgasm rushing through me, and I shouted his name. He didn't stop, just continued as I whimpered, my nails digging into his hand. My tail started rubbing up and down his chest, flicking against his abdomen. That seemed to make him even hotter, his thrusts increasing as a low growl came out of him.

My abdominal muscles clenched, and I gasped. I pushed against the headboard, pushing myself back against him. He moved his hand, sliding up to where my tail was located, on my lower back. Not really knowing what he was doing, my attention stayed on his hand, a low moan coming out. He laied his palm against my lower back, sliding his hand around the base of my tail, pausing for a moment before pushing down. A choked cry came from me at the intense pleasure that went through me. Another orgasm hit, and I lowered my head to the pillow, softly growling. He thrusts into me a few more times, before stilling as a snarl ripped from his throat, holding my body against him. I felt him shiver slightly, before slowly moving away from me. I sunk onto the bed with a sigh, groaning a little.

Vegeta laied an arm around my waist, pulling me against him. My tail wrapped around his arm again, and I sighed a second time. I could feel his hard chest against my back, and slid my hand up his arm, moving closer. He growled a little in my ear, before grabbing the covers and pulling them over us. We laid there for awhile, quietly holding each other as our bodies cooled down. I finally turned, moving onto my back to look at him. I watched him slowly open his eyes, studying me. I reached up and cupped his cheek, my eyes roaming his face. I leaned forward and kissed him, my lips touching his as I whispered.

"I love you," I said softly, feeling his arm tighten around me. I didn't wait for an answer, just rolled over and wiggled back against him. I threaded my fingers through his, feeling the muscle move underneath my head, his arm resting under me. I closed my eyes, exhaustion finally grabbing me. I never heard, never woke as he whispered his response.
