A/N: I feel I need to make something clear to my readers because I have been getting a lot of questions about the age difference, and while I don't want to give the story away I will tell you that the age difference will be dealt with. Vegeta definitely has NO romantic or sexual feelings for Bulma. That is indeed creepy and I don't intend to have weird sexual scenes between the two now. Vegeta is feeling protective of Bulma in an older brother type of way, and Bulma may start to have a crush on him at an early age but it's very common for little girls to have crushes on older people. I can tell you for a fact that later in the story Vegeta will be leaving for some time and when he comes back Bulma isn't going to be the same little girl that he knows and that's when the feelings will start to rise. As I have said this is going to be my own twist on the DBZ series so things may happen later then they do in the actual show. Don't expect the androids within three years after Namek because Bulma would still be too young to have a son coming from the future. That is all I'm going to say for now, you're just going to have to keep reading to find out more. But like I said this is not going to be some creepy story with Vegeta having sex with a little kid, so don't worry about it. :)

I DON'T OWN DBZ OR ITS CHARACTERS!

OMG CHAPTER 13 on Friday the 13th :)

Chapter 13

One minute Vegeta was helping me through my struggling whirlwind of emotions and next he is being roughly slammed out of my embrace into a giant rock. I gape in anger and horror as the biggest and what appears to be the dumbest of the group attacks Vegeta without a care in the world. But I can't help but smile in adoration as Vegeta pulls himself up and out of the rubble and without a second thought charges the giant one with red hair full force. I watch as he sends a barrage of attacks in his general direction. From my point of view it looks like Vegeta has the upper hand as he mercilessly attacks the dumb giant. I can't help the loud cheer that escapes from my mouth as I watch Vegeta summon up one of the biggest Ki blasts I have ever seen and send it barreling into the giants body causing him to fly backwards. But even though the giant doesn't appear to be getting up very soon, I'm still on edge because I know his power level is not only stronger than mine. But Vegeta's as well and that's what concerns me the most.

"Is he dead?" Gohan asks attentively

"No, and attack like that is hardly a scratch to Racoome" Vegeta answers while never removing his eyes from Racoome's prone body.

I notice that Krillen is eerily silent the entire time as if he knows something we don't. But as I see the slight shaking of his body I know he is only silent because he is scared and trying not to show it. But my eyes quickly divert back to Racoome's body as I hear him start to stand up from the rubble. He quickly whips off the rocks and dirt that has smeared onto his body and now tattered outfit. Smiling in our direction I noticed the idiot has lost more than one tooth in his exchange of blows between him and Vegeta and I can't help but notice the slight twitch in the corner of Vegeta's mouth indicating that he is enjoying the tattered sight of Racoome.

"Had enough?" Vegeta taunts while staring with deadly eyes at Racoome.

Laughing loudly in an annoying manner Racoome replies "You wish weakling"

Growling loudly Vegeta charges at Racoome again but this time the tides don't appear to be in his favor. Racoome quickly dodges Vegeta while bring both fists down roughly into Vegeta back causing him to cry out in unexpected pain.

Gohan and Krillen quickly grabbed both of Bulma's arms to hold her back from interfering. But it looked like she was back to her crazed state of mind.

"Do you think its anger that triggers her spouts of rage?" Krillen asked while struggling to hold Bulma in place.

"It appears so" Gohan answered while grunting from the force of holding his sister down.

Jeice and Burter who are casually watching the fight from the other side of the battle field can't help but laugh at Vegeta's pathetic attempts to overthrow Racoome, and Bulma's constant thrashing and growling only adds fuel to the flame causing them to get even more amusement out of this situation.

It wasn't until Vegeta was thrown to the ground roughly and didn't get back up that Gohan let go of Bulma and charged at Racoome with her.

But it was pointless even when Krillen started to help them it wasn't enough. Racoome was just too much for them to handle and as Bulma stood there panting out of breath she couldn't help but think that things were just as bad when Vegeta and Nappa appeared on earth, and with the thought of Vegeta she quickly glanced over in the direction of his body only to see that he was starting to stand up on shaky legs. A small smile started to spread across her face as she watched her comrade get onto his feet as if nothing was wrong, she watched as his eyes slowly traveled over to her direction. When he caught eyes with her she noticed the faintest of smirks appearing but his face quickly changed to panicked causes Bulma to quickly turn her head in the other direction where she was met fist to face. Racoome's hit came as such a shock and surprise that it made fly back even farther than normal. Her already tired and sore body hit the ground so hard she thought that her heart stopped for a minute. She didn't even have time to get up before Racoome's booted foot was on her throat like she had hers on Guldo not to long ago.

"How does it feel you little brat" Racoome said while laughing in her face.

Bulma was gasping for air and clawing at his boot in a failed attempt to get him off of her. Her attempts only further amused Racoome causing him to remove his foot from her throat and forcefully kick her in the ribs.

All coherent thought left Bulma's brain as the wind was knocked out of her. She felt every rib in her body break and a couple even shatter. She noticed that her throat though was what hurt the most and she couldn't understand why. That is until she realized she was screaming bloody murder. When she finally stopped yelling she felt blood come running out of her mouth and heavy coughs racking her body. Her vision started to blur and the last thing she saw before passing out was an enraged Vegeta with equally enraged Goku trailing after Racoome.

*Wait a minute Goku, DAD! * Bulma thought frantically while shooting her eyes open in an attempt to stay awake. She searched frantically for where they were fighting and watched as Vegeta was swatted away and roughly slammed into the ground once more. Her vision started to slowly get blurry again and the last thought in head before she passed out was *what happened to Gohan and Krillen, and when did father get here*

It was bright, too bright, in fact it was so bright she had to close her eyes and throw her arm over them in an attempt to block out the sun. She noticed right away that her body was sore but it no longer felt painful to move. She had a terrible headache and her ears ringing but…she was alive and that's all that mattered at the moment.

*The last thing I remember seeing is father and Vegeta, oh god are they okay!*

Saying fuck it to the sun Bulma quickly sat up and opened her eyes only to see her dad standing directly above her with a bright smile while Vegeta, Krillen and Gohan stood standing some feet away. She noticed though that everyone appeared to be watching her.

"Are you okay Bulma?" Goku asked sweetly and concerned

"Yes" Bulma croaked out sounding terrible and totally unconvincing of being okay.

Goku scrunched his eyebrows together in concern while shaking his head. He then quickly scooped Bulma up into his arms and from there nuzzled his nose into the side of her neck.

"Bulma I thought I had lost you, when I finally got to you guys you were in such terrible shape and that scream oh god that scream" Goku said softly while holding his daughter tightly to his chest.

Bulma felt the shaking in her father's body and it brought a smile to her face knowing that he cared for her so deeply.

"Wait a minute what happen to everyone Racoome, Jeice and Burter" Bulma asked while searching frantically for them.

"Do not worry about them me and Vegeta have taken care of it although the red one has run to fetch his Captain. They should be back any minute." Goku answered

"What happened to me" Bulma asked as Goku put her back on her own two feet.

"Bulma I thought you died" Gohan answered the question no one wanted to say.

"Oh" she said shocked looking into the faces of everyone and seeing the fear they had, even Vegeta's face was strained and he looked upset but he also looked angry and confused. Walking up to Vegeta Bulma quickly wrapped her arms and tail around his leg.

"Thank you Vegeta, I'm….I'm sorry I couldn't defeat him for you" she said defeated with tears prickling her eyes.

"Little one" Vegeta started softly feeling his heart quench at her words "it is not your fault I was not strong enough" he finished begrudgingly

Goku watched on with a shocked expression as his face and when he turned to look at Krillen and Gohan he was greeted with a shrug of the shoulders from both. Shaking his head he couldn't help but smile and think of the irony of those two becoming close. He knew from the very first time he met Vegeta that he was just as stubborn and pig headed as his daughter, so it only makes sense that they would tolerate each other's presence.

But the moment was quickly ruined as Jeice and Captain Ginyu landed quickly in front of them with a look of annoyance and hate in their eyes.

"Guys I want you to leave and go somewhere safe, this fight is between me and them." Goku said sternly while staring at both Jeice and Ginyu.

"Kakarot who gave you permission to start barking orders to me, I'm the prince of all saiyans and I take orders from NO ONE!" Vegeta shouted angrily.

"Vegeta, please get my kids out of here. Don't you think they have been hurt enough" Goku says back while staring directly at Bulma on purpose knowing that it was going to be the only Vegeta would listen to him.

Vegeta glanced down at Bulma who was still holding onto his leg as if her life depended on it. Sighing loudly he shook his head unbelieving before answering "just this once Kakarot, and you better not fuck up. I don't feel like cleaning up your mess" and with that Vegeta, Bulma, Krillen and Gohan all flew off leaving Goku alone with the two enemies.

"Where are you taking us" Gohan asked Vegeta curiously

"Frieza's ship" he answered quickly

"What why, that's a death trap!" Krillen yelled

"Frieza isn't at his ship I can feel his energy and it's halfway across the planet. The highest power level that is guarding the ship is weak enough that even you can defeat it baldy" Vegeta sneered in Krillen's direction as if he was stupid.

"Then that means that the dragonballs are there unguarded as well" Bulma yelled out

"Very good little one" Vegeta said fondly while picking up speed to get there faster.

Well that's, that for now. Hope you enjoyed and that I cleared up the whole age thing for now. Anyway keep reading and please REVIEW! It motivates me to keep going! :)
