Chapter Eleven: Of All The Earth
Bulma felt herself flush. She wondered if it was some kind of dream, or just her mind playing tricks on her. There was no way she was speaking to someone with her mind muchless someone like him.
'What's wrong with me?', she heard him, or felt him say.
'Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Your perfect.'
"Stop it! I've had enouph of this! I have training to do!" Nappa and Raddits eyed him strangely. "You two, stop looking at me like that! I've had enouph!"
Thier thoughts were felt simotaniously, just like...Vegeta wasn't sure.
'Just like in the dream, Vegeta?', she asked.
He suddenly remembered everything. He had had the dream again just today, and it had been a terrifying expeirience. When Frieza got here, he would have to live it. He couldn't stand the thought. He stood up.
Bulma's mouth, and eyes opened wide. She knew. She knew what he had done. She stood up as well.
"Ah...I have to go train.", he said.
"You get back here right now!!!", she yelled.
"You do not tell me what to do! We are in great danger, and I need to improve my strength or we're all going to die!!!"
"Ahh...Vegeta, what are you talking about?"
"Shut up, Nappa!!!!", Bulma and Vegeta said in unison.
"Listen here, Mr. Prince.!", Bulma said, walking over and poking him on the chest, "You lost the title of ultimate leader when you put this whole planet in danger!!!" Vegeta grabbed her wrist, not hard enough for it to hurt, but so she couldn't get away.
"Vegeta-sama?", Raddits said.
"That's it! You two go and wait for me in the ship!" They were soon out of the room. "Why?"
"Why what?!"
"Why did you ever have to come to my planet, creature?! Why did you have to do this to me?" He sat on the floor.
"Hay, I'm not the one who invoked the invincable wrath of Frieza on both the Human, and Saiya-jin race, Vegeta, and did you just call me 'creature'?! I want answeres, and I want them now!" She sat down next to him on the floor. "Tell me all about this Frieza."
"He is unstoppable, and relentless. He hasn't trained a day in his life, and yet there isn't a being in the universe who comes close to his strength." The moment of telepathy seemed to be over. She could see that there was something he wasn't saying, but she couldn't read his thoughts.
"Is that all you know about him?"
"Listen. You will understand everything about his demented personality after I tell you this."
"I'm all ears.", Bulma said.
He hesitated. "When I was five years old, I was already stronger than Raddits is now, and so I was easily bored. I loved to fight, as I do now, and so I constantly demanded missions. My passion for fighting saved my life. You see, some time before I was born, Frieza decided to take over the whole Saiya-jin race. His was the only army stronger than the Saiya-jins at the time."
Bulma gasped. "A whole army of Friezas?!"
"No, there are only three ice-jins left. His army was made up of the strongest warriors from races all over the universe, but none of them came close to his power."
"I see."
"Well, he ruled the Saiya-jins with an iron fist, often using them to do his dirty work." Vegeta sighed. "Well, once, when I was five years old, he sent me on a mission. I only recently realized that it must have been a death mission. That army was way to large for a normal five-year-old to conquer."
"Then what?", Bulma asked, almost afraid to know.
"I got a call. Aparently, my whole planet, and everyone on it, save a few woriors, was destroyed by an astroid. Lord Frieza sent his *regrets*." The bitterness in that last word was shockingly chilling.
"Five years old...?", she felt tears come to her eyes, "Oh, Vegeta..." She put her hand on his shoulder. He flinched. She hated herself for the next question, but she had to know. "Did you cry?"
He looked at her strangely. "Are you kidding me?", he said. He must have cried his eyes out. What was she thinking. He continued, "Ofcoarse not. I've never shed a tear n my life." She looked into his eyes and knew he was telling the truth, or atleast partly.
"I can't believe it. You know, you really shouldn't be afraid to cry. Sometimes tears can help wash awaythe pain."
He just shook his head with a very forced smirk on his face, and said, "You just don't get it, do you? I'm not like you. I'm a Saiya-jin. I don't feel things the way you do."
"Vegeta, what was that back there?"
"Where?"
"I mean, do you have any idea why we were able to read eachothers minds?"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Vegeta had only one logical answer to her question, and it involved a word that he dare not say aoutloud. 'Bonding', the horrible word that had brought so many warriors to disgraceful ends. It couldn't happen to him. He wouldn't let it. He decided to double his mental barriers, and try to forget it ever happened. "You noticed that too?", he said, "Mind-bogling, isn't it?"
He started to get up. She grabbed his hand. "Vegeta.", she said through tears, "Please don't shut yourself off from happiness."
He got back down, and gently embraced her. "How you brought me to this, woman, I'll never know." He pushed her away. "Yes, I remember the dream, but it was only a dream. We may have shared it, but that's it. Nothing in it was real."
"Then why did you just hug me?", she asked.
"Because your crying, that's why. Now I have training to do."
"Vegeta...!"
And with that he was gone again, but he would be back. Bulma knew it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
From the highest place on the planet, the diety of all the earth watched the Saiyan training, with a knew reason to defeat his life-long foe. All though the Saiyan hadn't been on his planet long, Kami already knew much about him, and his personality. It would have been obvious to anyone that he Vegeta had no chance at surpassing Friezas strength in just four months, but Kami sensed the eventual potential within the Sayain, and decided that this was one of those rare times when heavenly interference was appropriate. "Popo."
"Yes, Kami-sama?"
"Retrieve the Saiyain, and re-open the room of space and time."
--------------------------------------------------------------
From The Author: I hope everyone liked it, and I hope that everyone wrote atleast a short reveiw for chapter ten. I've finally started getting onto the good stuff, haven't I? This is great. I can't believa I am actually writing a story that people are reading. This is the kind of thing I've always wanted to do. Now if I could just get paid for this, I'd be set. Well, please review!
