Bulma was red. That kiss felt…it was the most amazing kiss she had ever had. He was way better than Yamcha. It was exactly like her dream had predicted. Now, she was torn… what was she to do? She couldn't just leave Yamcha like that. Vegeta…why had he even kissed her? What she felt from him was raw, hot passion - something she had never felt from Yamcha. She ran up to her bedroom – she needed to do a lot of thinking.

Goku landed outside of Capsule Corp. at that moment. He could have easily used Instant Transmission but he had to think about what he was going to say to Vegeta, so he took his time to fly over there. He honestly couldn't believe that Vegeta would try and rape Bulma.

Vegeta could feel Kakarot's ki just outside and knew that he was here to see him. Kakarot could accuse him all he wants but Vegeta was just going to tell the truth, that he didn't do anything. He walks out of the gravity and his eyes meet his rivals.

"I'm here to talk to you about something, Vegeta. Something very important." Goku looks serious.

"I know exactly why you're here!"

"So, it's true then."

Vegeta narrowed his eyes. "Kakarot, you know I would never do that! Sure, maybe in the past I may have done some evil things but this…this I would never do!" Vegeta yelled.

A sigh of relief was heard from Goku. "I know that, Vegeta. I just had to be sure." He smiles back at Vegeta. "Well, I better be off! That's all I needed to know. Bye!" And then, he was gone.

Yamcha and Krillin had been waiting for him. He showed up instantly.

"Goku, you're back!" Krillin said happily, then turning serious. "So what happened?"

"Did you kill him?" Yamcha chimed in.

"No. He didn't do anything to Bulma." Goku was actually anxious to get back to training with his son but he knew Yamcha would be asking questions.

"Did Vegeta say that? How do you know he isn't lying?" Yamcha couldn't take it. He knew Bulma wouldn't lie to him about something like this.

"Because Vegeta doesn't lie." Goku stated before going off to meet his son.

Krillin looked at an angry Yamcha. "So, what now?"

"I have to see Bulma."

Vegeta's thoughts had been overtaking him ever since Bulma had left the gravity room. Why did he sink so low? He gave into his wants and he wanted her. She tasted so sweet and it left him wanting more. The cold water ran down Vegeta's body as he stepped into the shower. He could do most of his thinking here. He knew it was a mistake on his part. He shouldn't have kissed her. She was still with that baka boyfriend of hers, so why did he care? No, he needed to get back to his training sooner than he thought. He had to avoid his feelings for the woman. He couldn't have her as his mate.

Later that night, Yamcha made his way over to see Bulma. He found her up in her room. "Hey Bulma."

Bulma turned around. "Oh hey."

He walks over to her and pulls her close. He kisses her but Bulma couldn't find herself returning it. He was no Vegeta. Yamcha pulls away slowly and raises an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

He leaned into kiss her again and this time she returns it but not as passionately as she had done with Vegeta. Yamcha began to pull at her clothes. He then moved his hands underneath her top and started to feel higher. Bulma resisted and pulled away. "No, I'm not ready for that."

"Is it because of what Vegeta did?" Yamcha asked seriously.

"No, Yamcha. We need to talk about that. I lied to you." She didn't know how he would react.

"Okay, well if nothing happened then we shouldn't have a problem, right?" he asked pulling her once again to him.

"No, I guess not."

He started kissing her again and began to feel her up once more under her top. She resisted once again. "I told you I'm not ready for that yet!"

"Oh, come on Bulma we've been together forever…"

"I can't…not yet." She looks down sadly.

"Fine." He turns to leave.

"Where are you going?" Bulma asked curiously.

He just left her without an answer.

It was now a week later and Vegeta had healed rather quickly. He was a Saiyan after all. He had started training again and he had been trying his best to avoid the woman and his feelings for her. They were a distraction but he couldn't help but miss her now and again.

Bulma had been thinking about who she really wanted to be with. Yamcha was her past childhood lover and it seemed like he really didn't care about her anymore, all he'd been trying to do was get her into bed. He had even tried to hurt her a few times. It was started to annoy Bulma immensely. She didn't love him anymore and she knew it. However, those feelings she had for Yamcha were now for someone else. She wanted Vegeta more than anything. He had never tried to hurt her and she didn't think he ever would. After she had kissed him, it was hard not to think about having some kind of relationship with him and she knew it wouldn't be like any normal boyfriend-girlfriend thing. Vegeta was a Saiyan, a prince, and royalty. He was arrogant but had another side to him. He was really something, very cute – handsome in fact. He had the bad boy look complete with attitude and that was something that turned on but she had always gone for guys like that. Even though he could destroy planets and kill innocent people – that was all the past. He was different now and she liked and trusted this Vegeta for who and what he was. She loved him. She decided that today, she would make it clear to him. She knew he had feelings for her but she hadn't noticed that he had actually been avoiding her.

Making her way out to the gravity chamber, she knocks on the door. Vegeta who had been training wanted to just ignore it. She knocked again. He knew it was her because her parents had gone away on a business trip, so she was the only one there. Again, he tried to ignore it. Bulma knocked even harder, she knew he could hear her. Vegeta floated angrily to the ground. She would be there all day if he didn't get rid of her now. Turning off the gravity, he walks over to the door with a scowl on his face.

Bulma waited and could hear the gravity cease. The door suddenly opened and she looked up to Vegeta who didn't look too thrilled to see her. She gave him the biggest smile.

"Hi, Vegeta. I…" but she couldn't finish.

"What the hell do you want, woman? Don't you see I'm training? Now leave!" Although he would never admit it, he was actually happy to see her as he hadn't seen her all week. She had such beauty… No, this wasn't the time. He needed her gone so he could get back to training.

Bulma didn't know what to think or even say. Did he still feel for her? Was there still something there? She leaned up towards him and tried to kiss him but he pushed her backwards, not too hard though. Bulma was shocked. She could feel tears starting to form in her eyes and Vegeta noticed. He felt bad, he wanted to comfort her – wipe them away and embrace her but he couldn't.

"I'm sorry. I just thought…" she tried her best not to show that she was crying.

"Well you thought wrong…" it was hard for him to say it though. He knew why she was here and it pained him. His pride would never let him be with the human. "Now, leave. I need to get back to training. You've already wasted enough of my time."

The tears were now gone and was replaced with a glare that was now towards Vegeta. "No, I know there is something between us. I can feel it and you can't just push it aside. I know you feel something too. When we kissed…"

"It was a mistake and it shouldn't have happened."

Bulma cocked an eyebrow. "Is that what you believe? Because, I think you're just scared."

"Scared of what…you? You're nothing but a weakling."

"You're scared to think about what would happen if you and I were together. You're trying to avoid your feelings so you don't have to believe it. You want something to happen but you aren't sure whether…" she was cut off once again.

"Shut up! I don't need to listen to this petty babbling of yours. I don't feel and I would never ever want someone as weak and as ugly as you! I told you once and I will tell you again - you mean nothing to me." He had lied to her. Why wouldn't she just get out and leave him be? It was better that he be on his own. "I don't need anyone."

"I'm not leaving until you tell me about that day. If you felt nothing then why did you feel the need to kiss me like that?" she couldn't understand him sometimes. Why did he have to block these things out?

"I don't need to answer to you. Now get out before I blast you!"

"No."

"I won't tell you again woman."

"Then go ahead and blast me then. Get rid of me. It shouldn't be a problem if I mean nothing to you."

"Then so be it." He raised his arm in front of him. He really didn't want to do this but she left him no choice. He was hoping she would just turn around and leave.

Bulma didn't move from her spot. However, she stood tall. She wasn't going to be threatened like this. She wanted to show she wasn't scared of him. They were like this for a while until Bulma spoke up. "Well, I thought you were going to blast me? Don't tell me you're having second thoughts. You can't kill me, is that it? I mean more to you than you're letting on, right? If that's the case, then tell me." She really wanted to know how he felt. She was starting to feel the tears form again.

Yes, I do need you woman. More than you know. I can't hurt you but you need to be shown your place. I would only hurt you. You don't need to go through that pain. I feel for you too, but I cant…

"I love you…" she whispered.

Vegeta's heart was torn. Hopefully, this will just scare her off…He formed a blast in his hand. "I suggest you get out of here now, if you want to live…"

Bulma sighed and looked down. "I guess…you don't feel. I was wrong about you…" The tears were now flowing and she turned away. "We are not meant to be…" she leaves him to himself and walks over to her car.

Vegeta dissolved the blast and let his arm fall to his side. He shook his head and shuts the door. What have I done? He didn't want to feel like this. He wanted to make things right. But how? He could hear her car drive away and he sighed.

Bulma was racing towards Yamcha's. She was wrong about Vegeta but at least Yamcha wouldn't turn her away. At least he loves me.
