"Hey!" Chi cried from the side of the arena as she watched Maron pull Bulma to the floor by her hair. "That's not fair! That's against the rules of mixed martial arts! You can't do that!"
Maron held Bulma down by putting her knee on the girl's face. Bulma let out an enraged scream but was quickly quieted when Maron sent one last blow to her face, right above her temple, where her injury from earlier was. Bulma passed out from the pain and Maron cheered jumping up, she had won. It was now Chi's turn to let out an enraged scream, and she leapt at Maron, and would have proceeded to beat the living crap out of her, but she was held back by Goku.
"Calm down Chi, she'll be fine."
"I know that, Goku! But you're not allowed to pull someone's hair or hold their face down with you knee in MMA! It's against the rules!" (Yep, had to go research the rules for mixed martial arts, you're welcome. XD Lol)
"Yeah, I know Chi, that wasn't fair at all. But the coach wasn't looking at this match, he was looking at Turles' and Krillin's."
"But..." Chi was so furious that she couldn't think straight. "Ugh! I'm gonna murder you!" She screamed at Maron.
"Excuse me, miss Mau," (got the name from another fanfic that I read. ;) ) "I'm sure I said we'd just be doing some gentle sparring? No need for such violence." The coach scolded Chi Chi. Chi just scowled and walked over to Bulma.
The prince had seen the entire match between Bulma and Maron. He, for some reason that he didn't know, instantly took a disliking to that girl, Maron. She had cheated and gotten away with it... Vegeta didn't like people who cheated. Bulma was clearly winning until... hell, why did he even care? He never cared about others usually... what was so different about this girl?
Vegeta shook his head to get him out of his 'trance'.
"Prince, you're up next if you'd like to go?" The coach said
"Who against?"
"Yamcha."
"That weakling?"
"Someone needs to fight him. I wanted to let you spar with Goku last."
"I get to fight Kakarot last?"
"...W-Well... just a quick spar..." the coach started but never finished, as Vegeta was walking to the arena, a smirk on his face. He'd end, er, knock out this weakling quickly before fighting Kakarot.
"I feel bad for Yamcha... y'know.. having to fight the prince 'n' all..." Chi whispered to Bulma as everyone turned around to watch Vegeta fight Yamcha.
"He'll be fine." Bulma whispered back, confident that her boyfriend would be able to put up a fight against the prince.
She couldn't have been more wrong.
Vegeta stepped into the arena where Yamcha was waiting.
Vegeta knew he'd get into trouble with his father if he killed the scrawny little weakling. "Not as part of the match but... just punch my hand as hard as you can, ok?" Vegeta said, holding out his hand so his palm was facing Yamcha.
Yamcha looked confused "E-Excuse me?" He asked
"I said punch my hand. I need to see your strength before we begin." Or rather to make sure I don't kill you... Vegeta thought.
"Wh-"
"I'm not gonna tell you again!" Vegeta snapped.
Yamcha stared before he punched Vegeta's palm weakly.
Vegeta scowled. "Again!" He said. "But use your full strength this time," he paused before adding "boy." With a smirk.
This enraged Yamcha so much that he threw his strongest punch straight at Vegeta's face, Vegeta caught his hand with ease.
"Oooh, consider that nerve touched." Vegeta laughed.
"H-How...?" Yamcha started.
Vegeta punched Yamcha in the stomach, Yamcha cried out in pain and doubled over, clutching his stomach, and so Vegeta moved beside him and elbowed him in the back of the head. Yamcha was instantly knocked out.
Everyone stared, shocked, other than Goku.
"Alright! My turn! I see you've improved Vegeta!" Goku smiled and as Yamcha was taken out of the arena he walked in.
"Same goes for you, Kakarot." Vegeta smirked.
Both got into a fighting stance, staring down the opponent.
The coach stood between them.
"Fight!" He exclaimed, moving away from the arena, he seemed panicked to get out.
There was a moments hesitation from Goku, bad move.
Vegeta shot forward and caught Goku with a stunning blow to the boys stomach.
The air exploded out of Goku's lungs and he staggered backwards. He only just managed to stop himself from stepping out of the arena.
"Yep, you've defiantly improved a lot." Goku coughed. Vegeta smirked.
Vegeta sprung at Goku again but Goku blocked.
As the match went on a aura of ki began to show around both of the two saiyans. The fighters slowly floated upwards.
Vegeta watched Goku's moves carefully and when the other boy launched his attack Vegeta stepped back, dodging, before landing a fatal kick on Goku's chest. Goku was tossed violently out of the arena, landing on his back.
The entire class was staring, wide eyed, at the two as Goku stood up with a massive grin on his face, wiping a bit of blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Awesome!" Goku's smile stretched from ear to ear.
"You've improved too, Kakarot." Vegeta told Goku. "Although next time take it more seriously." He added.
"Wow, the prince is a really talented fighter." Bulma whispered to Chi. Yamcha heard this remark and was none too happy. Bulma had left him with some of the other students, who too had left, to watch Goku fight Vegeta. Yamcha hated Vegeta so much at that point in time that he didn't realise he was giving the prince a death glare.
"Still sour about the match, boy?" Vegeta asked, looking over at Yamcha who was still sitting one the floor
Yamcha looked angry but he didn't say anything against the prince. Vegeta let out a short laugh before turning and leaving the gym, along with Kakarot and a few other boys.
Vegeta didn't like Yamcha, he wasn't too sure why. Maybe it's because he is such a weakling. Vegeta thought.
It was the end of the day and Everyone was about to leave when someone called Vegeta.
"Hey, Vegeta! Are you ever gonna come back to our school?" A random kid in the class had said.
Vegeta was silent. He had obviously heard the question. He wanted to consider it, but he was homeschooled. If he asked his father would refuse... and most likely laugh at him.
"Wanting to go to SCHOOL... with COMMONERS? Ha! It seems you're still too childish to claim the throne... more childish than your brother." The king would say, and laugh in the boy's face.
No, he couldn't come back to this school.
Everyone stared at Vegeta, expecting an answer. The prince just glared at them, hiding his feelings... he wanted to go back but...
No! Why would I want to come back anyway? Being around these weaklings is beginning to make me feel- ill? Is that the right word? I've never felt like this before...
Vegeta shook his head, looking down at the floor as if there was something interesting there. "No, no I will not be able to come back." He said after a long silence.
Able to?! What were you thinking?! Vegeta mentally punched himself.
He hoped no one had picked up on this, but of course that aggravating nerd near the back of the class did and said "S-So... you wanted to come back?"
"W-"
Suddenly one of Vegeta's servants burst in."Vegeta! We must go! The public has found out that you're here and-"
Vegeta didn't hear the rest for there was a flood of people who had somehow managed to find out which class the prince was in. A bunch of them he knew hated him. All the others were girls wanting to get a glance at the prince which they may have to marry in the near future. There was gasps and flashes as photos were taken, the prince was right there... standing in a public school... and the fact that everyone in the class seemed to be acting so casual before everyone appeared... he must go to this school, right?
"Prince Vegeta! Is it true that you hit a young girl earlier on today?"
"Is the girl hurt?"
"Aren't you homeschooled?"
"Someone said they saw you kiss said girl, is that true?"
To this question a lot of people in the class turned to look at Bulma, including Chi.
One of the reporters gasped. "Is that the girl?"
"Her hair is blue! How strange!"
Vegeta shook his head, getting himself out of his trance again. "No, no. I didn't hit her. No we did not kiss. But yes, that is said girl. She ran into me because she wasn't looking where she was going."
"Why is there a bruise on her face then?"A reporter asked, to which Bulma put a hand to her face near where her temple was, she softly prodded the bruise with her fingers.
"I don't know... because-" Vegeta started but never finished as the school bell rang, signalling the end of the day.
The entire class stood up and walked from the room, dragging reporters with them. Only a few people remained. Vegeta, Goku, Bulma, Chi Chi and Yamcha. Even the teacher was gone.
"That took 'saved by the bell' to a whole new level." Bulma laughed softly.
Chi and Goku hugged each other before Chi left. Now only the three boys and Bulma were left.
Vegeta sighed, leaning back against the wall near where he was sitting.
"Hey, 'Geta, why are you still here?" Goku asked.
"Don't call me that." Vegeta said.
"Sorry, but really... why are you still here?"
"I have to wait for my father."
"Same here!" Bulma piped in. "My father is a teacher and I have to wait an extra hour or so usually."
Vegeta ignored her. "Kakarot, why are you here?"
"I wanted to see why you were waiting behind... I'm leaving now. See ya around! We gotta spar again sometime soon, ok?"
Goku said picking up his bag and swinging it over his shoulder.
"Right." Vegeta replied with a slight smirk.
The three sat in silence for a few minutes before Vegeta turned to Yamcha. "What about you? Why are you still here?"
Yamcha became defensive. "Why do you wanna know? Do you want me to leave so you can try to steal my girlfriend? Is that it?!"
Vegeta stood. "Remember who you're speaking to, boy."
Yamcha stood too. Bulma could see that this was going to end badly for Yamcha, she had been sitting behind the two boys who were opposite each other.
Yamcha threw a punch but before his fist hit Vegeta's face Bulma stood between the boys. The blow connected with Bulma's face, exactly where her bruise and cut from earlier was. Bulma was thrown violently across the room. This all happened as the king and Bulmas father stepped in. The king caught Bulma and stared at Yamcha.
"Yamcha?!" Bulmas father cried. "I think we need to have a talk, young man." The man then looked at the king and the king nodded before he gestured to Yamcha to follow them. Yamcha stared at Bulma, then Vegeta, before finally looking down at the floor and walking towards the two men. The king put Bulma carefully down on the floor. "Look after her for now, son." He said, to which Vegeta acknowledged with a nod. The two men left with Yamcha trailing behind.
Bulma woke and found herself propped upwards slightly on Vegeta's knees. She had a searing pain in her head, just above her temple - again. Vegeta looked really concerned for a second, but quickly hid his emotions when he saw that Bulma was awake.
"V-Vegeta?" She asked, trying to sit up.
"Are you okay?" Vegeta asked, helping her her up.
"Why would you care? You don't seem to care about others usually."
"I don't, I just wanted to know to what degree that you're hurt, so I know how angry my father is going to be with me." Vegeta smirked. Bulma giggled at this, followed by a long silence.
"Vegeta?"
The prince looked at Bulma.
"Do I have any chance of being picked?"
"Picked?"
"You know, being chosen to be your wife."
Vegeta stared at her, making eye contact. The two sat like that for a moment before they both began to lean in..
Ha! Cliffhanger! (Sorry)
I'm so sorry this took so long... I kept getting distracted... school, jobs, homework... all that. I apologise. But summer holidays now, yey! Hopefully I'll be able to update faster now!
Hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to RR!
