NOTE: This is set in an alternate universe. Please do not read it if you do not like A/U's. As I have mentioned, this is a story about B/V. There will be a bit on G/CC as well. If you don't like them, please don't read. And YES! Everyone is OOC (out of character) other than Vegeta. Like I said, this is an A/U. It is MY A/U. So if you don't like it, don't read it. If you have the time, please also read my partnered fic (partner is Kureeji) called Eyes in Dark Corners.

Last time on Beta's Mistake:
A pod hovered near a large chunk of rock that use to be part of a planet. In the pod, Prince Vegeta of the Saiyans slept fitfully, unaware that he had just barely dodged death once again. Had Beta taken the time to search around the rocks, Vegeta wouldn't have stood a chance. Perhaps it was fate that Vegeta was still alive, resting, allowing his body to heal. Perhaps Vegeta still had a purpose in life and that was why he could not die.

Vegeta let his eyes wander aimlessly. He was having another one of those damned visions. He hadn't had one in awhile and thought that maybe they had finally disappeared, but now he knew he was wrong. The pain in his body was immense and he cursed moodily as he wanted the vision to go away so that he could get some proper rest.
That annoying baka of a voice was not here, Vegeta could sense that much. Someone else was with him in his world of near nothingness. He had sensed this other person a few times before in his earlier visions, but had only found the person once. From that one time, Vegeta learned very little of the girl, he was sure it was a girl. All he knew was that she had long blue hair and on that hair she wore a crown. He hadn't seen her face. That had been shrouded and distorted to the point that he couldn't make out anything about her facial features.
Vegeta felt the pain grow even stronger and was about to mercifully pass out of his vision into true sleep when he felt someone approaching him. His body tensed as much as it could in his state. It was that same ki, the one that he was sure belonged to the blue haired girl, whoever she was. Sensing that the girl was coming nearer and nearer by the second, Vegeta tried to build a ki ball in his hand. Try as he might, he could not. He was just in too much pain.
Bulma had felt herself slip into her vision not long after she had fallen asleep. At first, everything had been the same. It was the same old, beautiful place with all the lively creatures running around on it. Than, in her heart, she had sensed that something was wrong. Rather, she sensed that someone was hurt. She had than began to walk around, trying to find whoever it was, just in case she could help them in any way.
Without knowing how, she knew who it was. It was that guy, the guy with the tail. She had thought he was a goner for sure in her last vision when he had been fighting the other, more powerful guy. Still, she opened up her heart, trying to feel his pain so that she could find him. After searching for a few minutes, she saw a lump on the ground. She approached it cautiously at first, not sure of what it is. As soon as she saw the limp tail, she knew it was the mystery man from her previous visions.
Vegeta lay still, eyes closed, trying to allow his body to pass out. He could not. He felt some kind of barrier prevent him from falling into true sleep. He cursed the barrier and everything else that had to do with it.
"Oh Kami!" Vegeta looked up at the face that stared down at him. He was shocked to find that he could see all of her features this time. They were no longer blurry or distorted. Her features stunned him in a way that no one else could have. She was beautiful, he would give her that much. Her blue eyes, filled with caring and compassion, shone with innocense. Her blue hair complimented her eyes beautifully. Still, it didn't matter what she looked like or how gorgeous she was, he would kill her anyways. It was because of her that he was always stuck in these damned visions.
The girl kneeled down beside him. "Go away baka woman or I will blast you myself! I am Prince Vegeta and you are not worthy enough to come near me." Vegeta tried to sound as venomous as he could but found that his voice was barely a whisper and not very evil sounding at all.
"You're hurt." The girl reached down to check one of his wounds. Vegeta tried to jerk away and the pain of the motion rushed to his head, knocking him out cold.
It felt strange to Vegeta. He knew that he had passed out because he could no longer feel the pain in his body and his eyes were shut. However, somehow, he could see everything that was going on in the vision. He watched as the girl nursed his wounds while he lay supposedly unconcious.
As soon as the man with the tail, who called himself Vegeta, seemed to have lost conciousness, Bulma got to work. There were numerous wounds all over his body and she knew they could be fatal if nothing was done about them. Although it was only a dream, Bulma sensed the urgency of the situation. It was almost as if it was...real. She felt that if she didn't help this Vegeta in her dream, he would die in reality. Somehow, she knew that he really did exist and that he really was hurt.
Bulma ripped off pieces of the sleeve of her white, silk shirt and began to wrap them around Vegeta's more serious wounds. His eyebrows furrowed in pain every once in awhile and when it did, Bulma stopped her wrapping and gently wiped the built up sweat off his face. She couldn't help but notice just how handsome the young man was.
He had a small, pointy nose that gave him the cute look. His hair was also pointy and, she giggled, looked a lot like a radish. His body was one to die for, every muscle showing through his ripped clothes. But what drew Bulma's attention the most, was something she had seen for only a few seconds. His eyes. He had the most intense eyes she had ever seen. She couldn't explain it, but she really loved those eyes.
Vegeta stared, and if he was awake, his face would have shown one of deep questioning. No one had ever cared about him, let alone try to save him. Everyone he knew, other than Lisa, had tried to kill him or use him. Why was she helping him? Hadn't she been in his other visions? If so, she must have seen all the cruel acts he had seen and done. So why was she still trying to help him? Who the hell was she anyway? Hmph, she was probably just some stupid woman.
Bulma finished tying up the last wound and continued to stare at his well chiseled face. No doubt about it, he was cute. She smiled. Suddenly she began to feel herself being jerked away from the dream world. The familiar tingly feelings returning to her body as they always did. She tried to fight it. She wanted to stay here and watch over the fallen warrior, to make sure he was alright.
Vegeta felt himself slipping from the vision into true sleep. Without knowing why, he faught it. He faught the thing which, minutes ago, he had so longed for. The force continued to pull at his very essence until he began to lose control. His final thought before falling asleep was, why did the little, blue haired woman take care of him like that? Why didn't he feel like killing her?
*****
In the space pod, Vegeta sank into a true, deep sleep. Unknown to him, his wounds had long ago stopped bleeding as they were surpressed by strips of a white, silk shirt.
SPECIAL NOTE: You guys took me seriously with the whole not posting if I didn't get reviews thing? *tears* Do you guys really think I'm that evil? I love my reviewers too much to do that to them. *goes to cry by herself in a little corner* It's okay. Really, I don't mind. It's just my feelings. *sobs* Anyway, alright. I know that wasn't all that great for such a long wait, but hey, what can I do? Oh and uh, Kakkarot/Chi Chi fans, they begin to slowly fade out of this story after next chapter. They are still there and sometimes come up, just not as dominant. Sorry for all B/V fans for forcing you to read all of those many chapters that didn't involve much (if any) B/V (just one more full chapter based on them). Shesh, now K (G)/CC fans will begin to complain about not enough K (G)/KK. Oh well, can't please everyone. ^_^
