Chapter 25 – Vision

They had been travelling for five months and Bulma was beginning to feel restless. She hated that Frieza was just waiting for their arrival on the comforts of his home planet and she hated that she would be fighting in his Empire. But then again, at least it wouldn't be hers or the Saiyan's Empire that got destroyed. Well technically, it will be their Empire soon, but that wasn't the point.

About two months after setting off, Krillin had a vision and Bulma smiled brightly at it before going to find Kakarot. She told him the good news about how he now had a son named Gohan who, for an infant and only half Saiyan, was pretty strong. The look on his face made her heart warm. He looked so happy and proud. Bulma knew that he wanted to be there with Chi-Chi more than anything, but she told him that Bardock was there and that she would be perfectly safe. Also, now that she had given birth, she would be able to protect herself and their son better if anything did happen.

Two months after Chi-Chi went into labour, the warriors from the Human Empire met the other warriors at the half way point. They merged in with the Saiyan Empire and Bulma was shocked at how easily they seemed to fit together, kind of like her and Vegeta. The Royal's ship led the way to the Colds' planet. Behind them, there were hundreds of ships filled with warriors who were willing to die to protect their Empire and families.

Bulma couldn't help but feel proud and as she looked up at the ceiling of her bedroom, she wondered if her parents were proud of her too. She knew that they didn't approve of killing or harming other living beings but considering what they had done to them, she was sure they wouldn't mind too much if she got her revenge.

The other Bulma had been eerily silent during their travelling but Bulma thought nothing of it. In her mind, she could feel that she was training so that she could give Bulma as much strength as possible without weakening herself too much in case she may need reserves.

It wasn't only the other Bulma who was silent as she prepared for the oncoming battle. No, everyone else was also fully focused as they threw themselves into their training. If it wasn't for their training sessions, Bulma wouldn't even see Vegeta that often anymore. Vegeta had taken to training with not only Bulma, but Kakarot as well. He was the only other Saiyan who could rival his strength and he was determined to put a bigger gap in between their power.

Bulma sighed as she turned her head to the side. It was 02:30am. She couldn't sleep, it just seemed impossible. Bulma felt lonely. She and Vegeta rarely saw each other anymore and when they did, they would only have a short conversation, if that. She knew that he was focusing on the battle, but she couldn't help but miss him. Even as he slept beside her, she felt like they were miles apart and it felt as though it was breaking her heart.

She couldn't help the questions that flooded her mind. Had he already grown tired of her? Was he just using focusing on the battle as an excuse? Did he even want to bond with her or marry her? Bulma shook the thoughts away. She couldn't think about them for she knew it would do nothing more than upset her.

As she silently crept out of bed, she changed into her training spandex, pulled on a pair of boots and white gloves and then left the rooms she shared with him.

With each step she took, it felt like there were more miles being put between them. Again, she shook the thoughts from her head. She needed to focus. As she passed the room that overlooked space whilst travelling, she was surprised to see someone in there. Bulma frowned. Who was still awake at this time?

Bulma opened the door but the other room's occupant didn't show any signs of acknowledgement. Bulma frowned again. She may prefer it when people didn't use her title but she still demanded that they at least acknowledged her! Bulma walked into the room and was surprised to see Krillin of all people sat there. He looked as though he was in deep thought as his eyes watched the stars and planets fly passed.

"Krillin?" Bulma said softly as she sat down beside him, "What are you still doing awake?"

Krillin finally looked up and appeared to be surprised to see Bulma sat next to him. She didn't need her mind reading ability to see that Krillin was being troubled by something; she could see the haunted look in his eyes. Bulma smiled slightly as she waited for him to speak.

"I had a vision," Krillin finally – and reluctantly – spoke. His face looked as though he had aged overnight. He had dark circles forming under his eyes and there were light lines from when he had been concentrating too hard or frowning too much.

Bulma smiled sadly. She knew how horrible it was to see people's deaths before they happened. When she had been practicing her mind a few months back, she had caught flickers of Krillin's visions and honestly, they scared her. "Do you want to tell me about it?"

He looked torn. Bulma could see from the look on his face that he wanted to tell her – or to warn her – but she could also see that he wasn't sure if it would be the right thing to do.

"Just tell me, Krillin." Bulma's eyebrows furrowed. "If it is for the sake of the Empire, then please, tell me."

Krillin took a deep breath before lowering the walls in his mind. Ever since Bulma had told them all that she would be practicing and pushing her psychic power, they had all put walls up to keep their private thoughts to themselves.

Bulma gasped as Krillin's vision filled her mind. It was as though she was actually there. It was the first vision in what seemed like a long time that wasn't just flickers. No, this was an actual vision. Bulma watched through a watcher's eyes as she fought against Frieza up in the skies. It looked as though she was holding her own. Down below, Vegeta was fighting Cooler. Her eyes widened for a second as they started to burn but before she could think about it, the vision ended abruptly. Bulma didn't even notice when Krillin placed a hand on her shoulder that she was shaking.

Before doing anything else, Bulma shot walls up in her mind to keep what she had just seen a secret. She didn't need Vegeta to worry about anyone else when he needed to focus on his own fight. Bulma rubbed her forehead as a headache started to form. Who was the watcher? She could tell that it wasn't Krillin, so who was it?

"Are you okay, Bulma?" Krillin asked quietly.

Bulma nodded, "I'm glad that you shared that with me." She looked out to the stars before whispering "Now I know what needs to happen."

A/N - Okay so I might not be able to update for a while because my laptop is completely messed up and won't start up or anything. Right now, I'm on my brother's laptop and I don't really feel comfortable writing smut or updating on his laptop... Especially since he's a big computer geek and can get whatever the hell he wants up, even the stuff that should be loooooong deleted. Believe me. -.-

Anyways, there's no reason to worry because I always back my work up and I've got it all on a USB stick thing. It just might be a while until I update. I'll try my hardest to get on a computer, but I doubt it'll happen unless I can get on my mums. If my brother can fix mine and it doesn't have to go into a shop, it should be fixed my next week or the week after. If I have to pay, well, it might be a little longer because we're moving and stuff.

That's another thing I wanted to say, sometime in late July/early August, I won't be updating at all because I'm moving. I don't know if it's possible to update from your phone, but I honestly don't want to try it. I already get annoyed with my phone, especially when it automatically corrects my words. I nearly sent the word 'slag' to my mum the other day... yeah, don't even ask haha. -.-

So I'll try my hardest to keep updating, but we're looking at like once a week or something.

This message is also on my profile, but not many people look at it so I thought I would do a quick update since my mum wasn't on her laptop!

HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! :-)
