AUTHOR: Rachel Wong
AUTHOR'S EMAIL: Hidden_Angel_83@hotmail.com
RATING: PG-13
PAIRINGS: B/V and K(G)/CC
WARNINGS: A kiss...
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.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Dragonball Z and am in no way connected to them. I only wish I was, than I'd have at least SOME $$$. Seeing as how I am broke, sueing me would do you no good. =Þ
Last time on First Sight:
Slowly, Beta began to expand his powers, searching for the Prince's ki. He found it. It was far and moving, but alive none-the-less. He smirked. He would make Vegeta beg this time. No more Mr. Nice Beta. He gave the order to his crew, and a few seconds later, his ship was flying as fast as it would go. Destination: Vegeta.

"Vegeta, what are you doing? Where are we going?"
"If it will make you shut up, we are going to Namek. I need to find the dragon balls so I can wish for immortality."
She made a face. "Immorality? I thought they were all saying they needed the dragonballs to wish Piccolo back."
"Hmph. Woman, what the hell do I care about this Piccolo guy? I have other things that I need to take care of."
Bulma's eyebrows arched up. "Oh really? Such as?"
"Such as Be..." Vegeta stopped, realizing what he was doing. "I don't have to tell you anything."
"Fine. Don't tell me. It's not as if I care."
For some reason, her words seemed to pierce his very soul. "Hmph. I don't care if you care or not."
A friendly smile quickly wipped off the look of anger on her face. "Oh come on Vegeta. I know you care that I care."
"Shut up woman! This is getting annoying."
"Okay than." Bulma, obviously upset about his outburst, walked out of the control room and into her designated bedroom. She left behind her, a very flustered and confused Prince of Saiyans.

NOTE: Conversation occurs through the bond...
"Kakkarot?"
Kakkarot quickly snapped out of his meditation, recognizing the voice in his head at once. "Hey Chi Chi. Taking good care of yourself? How are things on Earth?"
"I'm okay I guess." He could hear the saddness in her voice. "But I really miss you. I know you've only been gone for half a day, but..." Her voice trailed off.
He smiled at the thought, understanding just how she felt. "I miss you too Chi Chi." He opened up his mind, letting her feel all that he felt. He really wanted her to know how much he loved and cared for her, even if he didn't know how to explain everything in words.
He began to feel her emotions pouring into his senses as she too opened up to him. "Kakkarot?"
"Yes?"
"Promise me you'll come back to me. Please?"
"I promise." The feelings of relief which swept through her body almost knocked the Saiyan warrior off onto his back. "I'll be back before you know it."
"I love you Kakkarot."
"And I love you Chi Chi."

Vegeta walked into the woman's room, sensing that she was asleep. He didn't know why and he couldn't explain it, but he felt drawn to her. Hmph, stupid witch craft work again I'm sure, he thought to himself. All those thoughts vanished from his mind as he stared down at the sleeping form of the woman who had been occupying his mind ever since he had first seen her.
His gaze softened, his heart melted and his thoughts jumbled as the full beauty of her face fell upon the Prince. She was much prettier in person than he could remember from his visions. He faught the urge to reach out a hand and stroke her cheek knowing that such signs of affection were weaknesses. Ugh, the thought of a weakness made him sick. Immediately, the proud Prince fled from the room in search of peace of mind.

Beta smiled to himself as his crew overworked themselves to please their master. He knew they feared him, and he constantly used that fear against them. Not that they didn't have reason to fear him because they did. If they didn't catch up to Vegeta's ship soon, he would make them all pay...with their lives. He wasn't going to let Vegeta get away, not when he was this close.
His smile broadened as he felt Vegeta's ki growing closer. His ship was gaining on Vegeta's and would overtake it soon. Beta could sense a second ship with other ki's, but he didn't care about it. He would take care of them after he had gotten rid of Vegeta. So far so good.

Vegeta's eyes shifted from the window to the little woman standing at the door. He had been glaring into space when he had sensed her ki rise out of bed and approach him. He wanted to look annoyed, but couldn't muster the face, so instead, he scowled.
She stared back at him and smiled a little. "Hey Vegeta, I was wondering if, when you get the dragon balls, you could wish Piccolo back."
He snorted. "Why would I want to do such a stupid thing?"
Her face turned into one of deep thought. "I don't know. I really do want to wish him back though. Afterall, he has helped to save the Earth a number of times and he's one of my friends."
There was that stupid word again. Friend. "Hmph. No. I am going to wish for immortality."
"Please Vegeta?" She walked over and stood beside him, also looking out the window. "Wow. It sure is beautiful out here."
It's not as beautiful as you are. It never will be. Whoa! Where had that thought come from? Vegeta mentally lectured himself for thinking such thoughts. She was an ugly, witch baka and he would never even think of her in such a manner. Hmph, her spells were beginning to have an effect on him. He hoped they would reach Namek soon. A small part of him told him he didn't want that.
A slight jolt rocked the ship and Bulma fell into Vegeta's arms. Steadying herself, she looked into his eyes. For a second, his icy glare was replaced with an emotion she couldn't quite get a grip on. Than it was gone, replaced with a scowl again. To her, and his, surprise, she reached up and pulled his lips to her's. The kiss was deep and passionate, nothing like any kiss either one had ever dreamed of. All the voices of their previous visions returned with a force. "Prince of Darkness....Princess of Light....destinies shall clash....one will prevail..."
Both jerked away from each other forcefully. Their eyes were wide open in shock. Each wondered why they had kissed the other. Afterall, it hadn't been a one-sided kiss. And what were those voices? What did they mean?
SPECIAL NOTE: Well, there you have it, their first real chance at quality time together. Whose going to reach them first, Beta's ship or Kakkarot's? Hmmm. Will I leave Piccolo dead? Will I kill Vegeta or Goku? IF I do, will I leave them dead. Hmmm. More questions for you to ponder. Anyway, I was thinking of making my next fic a T/P (teepee...hehe...get it? Never mind). What do you guys think?
