Breaking Through
The Secret of Sinran'to
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z or any of the characters, and am not making any money out of this. Well, is this an original disclaimer or what?
The next morning, when Bulma woke up it was already past noon. She took a shower, and remembered something happening the past evening, but couldn't remember what. She did remember that she had had a wonderful dream about Vegeta. But she didn't know what had happened the previous night. Oh, well, If ya can't remember, how important can it be? she thought to herself, and shrugged it off. She dressed, and hesitantly knocked Vegeta's door. He answered it himself. "Ah, it is you. Well, hurry up, come in, I have a couple of questions for you." Bulma walked in. She saw a Saiyan that already stood in the room. It was a man that was slightly smaller than Vegeta, and he had black hair that peaked out all the ways. He had friendly green eyes, so Bulma concluded that he could not be a full-blooded Saiyan, both because of the color of his eyes, as because they looked friendly. She smiled at him and turned to Vegeta. He looked at her with concern.
"Woman are you okay? I mean, after what happened last night? I killed Burenko for it." As soon as he saw Bulma's face that clearly expressed her discomprehension, and then changed in to a horrified expression, he regretted ever talking about it. It was clear that she had forgotten, maybe out of shock, and that he had reminded her of it. He mentally slapped himself. "I-I need to lie down for a moment…" she whispered, and fainted. Gedeas caught her right before she hit the ground. "What should I do with her my King?" he asked respectfully. "Put her on the bed," Vegeta answered, pointing to his two times king-sized bed, which had blue silk bedsheets. "We will wait for her to come to." Gedeas carefully laid her down on the bed. He then stood next to it, waiting until Bulma would regain consciousness.

Bulma opened her eyes again. "Hey, didn't I wake up just an hour a…" She cursed silently as the visions returned to her. SHIT! I was raped… FUCK IT VEGETA!! I hate you for coming back too late!! You may have forgotten that you're married to me, but that doesn't mean that you can let me be raped just like that!! She looked up into his concerned face, his normally angry features overwritten with guilt. Her fury immediately went away. Oh, you poor baby! It wasn't your fault! Even though you don't know it, you still love me. You just can't understand it yet… She inhaled deeply a couple of times, and told herself to tuck it away. Just try it. Go away memory, go away memory, I can't think about it now. I'll just have to tuck it away. She sighed deeply, sat up, and looked around. The other Saiyan was still there. He gracefully offered her a hand when she got up. But Vegeta slapped it away. "Quit it, Soldier, she is just a mere slave!" That you are obviously crazy about, Ou-sama. Gedeas mentally finished the line for him. But he pulled his hand back and let Bulma raise on her own.
As soon as she was up she looked at Vegeta questioning. "What did you need me for, my Lord?" she asked respectfully. "This man has built a machine for the rebels to let them become insensible and invisible. The technique he used is called Sinran'to. I am sure that I have seen that term before somewhere in your computer, so… tell me about that." Bulma now looked at Gedeas with great interest. So he had done what she couldn't. He had worked out a way to make ki's insensible, and had attached an invisible-shield onto it. The invisible shield was easy to build, but he had also mastered the ancient technique of Sinran'to!!! Amazing!
"This was one of the projects I was working on, My King, I knew it was called Shiran'to because I read about it in an old, halfway dissolved book, but couldn't figure it out. Wait a sec, I will show you…" she turned on the computer, and logged into her account. "Look…here it is!!" she pointed at the screen, where now was a picture of a weird looking machine, with all sorts of formulas and calculations around it, and also a bunch of question marks.
Gedeas leaned over to it, and he and Bulma soon got consumed into a discussion about the missing points. "So that's why you have to make a connection between those two. If you don't, the connection won't be there in real either, and you would get a whole bunch of holes in your shield, and it also wouldn't be able to expand into a larger height than about four feet." Bulma nodded, and typed some more. "But, If I would put a double connector in here, with an extra solid tie, you should be able to make the connection even greater, because it could take more more pressure, and it would be protected against overloading. The shield would have a maximum of about… lemme see… two hundred feet!!" Bulma answered. "Wow! That's true! Foolish that I never thought of that!" Gedeas yelled exitidly. "Yeah, kinda, but I didn't even think of the connection in the first place, this is just an addition." Bulma said, while typing some more, changing the picture. "I know, but it is a brilliant one! Simple, but brilliant!" Gedeas replied. "And…"
"HELLO!! I want you to listen to me!" Vegeta cried, trying to overscream the noise the two scientists made. They immediately shut up. "It is clear that you two get along. So I'm putting the both of you on the job of building a machine that can see through the shields. Or disconnect them, whatever. You will together get the supervision over a lab, and you can both work there. I want this machine finished as soon as possible. How long do you think this would take?" he asked. "Well, Ou-sama, I think about fourteen days. That should be enough don't you think? We could easily build one, then dissemble it and find out what would disconnect it, or could neutralize the rays and therefor the shield." He addressed the last part to Bulma. She nodded happily. "Fourteen days it is. I will expect a report on your progress everyday. You are dismissed." Vegeta said. Bulma and Gedeas both bowed and left the room. Immediately after the door had closed behind them they began talking again. Loudly discussing the possibilities, probabilities, and other abilities. Vegeta shook his head and went back to the computer. He stared blankly at the screen and the calculations for a moment, and then decided that technique wasn't his stuff. He turned off the computer.

Bulma walked out of the lab, happily and content. She heard some footsteps behind her, and turned around to see Cambras walking up to her. "Hey Cambras! What a coincidence to see you here!" she said, waiting until he had caught up with her. "Not at all, Bulma. I was actually planning on waiting here to walk you back to your room, but was held up by some third class baka. But I'm here anyways." He panted, slightly out of breath by the running. Bulma smiled at him. She had grown to like him over the past three weeks. He had almost constantly been around, being Bulma's bodyguard. Save for the moments when she was working with Gedeas, for he was also perfectly capable of defending Bulma. "Well, that's nice of you. Is our lunch date for tomorrow still on?" Cambras grinned. "Yeah, of course. Since I'm guarding you, I might as well eat while on the job!" Bulma laughed too. "But," he continued, more seriously, "The real reason I'm here is because King Vegeta requested your presence tonight." Bulma frowned. "And why would that be? I'm always there in the evening, serving dinner and such." Cambras nodded. "Yeah, I know, but tonight is special. He, of course, wants to hear how your work is doing, now that the fourteen days are over." He finished. "OH YEAH!! Cambras!! I almost forgot to tell you!! Guess something really cool!!" Cambras did as if he thought for a while. "You invented a potion against corns?" Bulma happily smacked him on his head. "No you idiot! We finished the project!!! I'm so proud of myself!! I really am the genius of the planet!!" She winked at Cambras who laughed. "That's great!! Good job!!" He briefly hugged her.
"And," she whispered, "you wanna know a secret?"
"Yeah…" he answered curiously.
"To be honest, we were already done yesterday!!"
"Then, what did you guys do today?"
"Well, whadda ya think we did? We had a Party!!"
"You're sooo weird! What Saiyan would have a party just because of the finishing of a project?"
"Well," she smiled, "You're forgetting one thing: I am a human, Gedeas is only half Saiyan, and all of our staff are aliens too. So… we had a party!! And you didn't!! Nanananana!!!"
Cambras laughed again. "You're just so odd! But funny." She smiled, and together they walked off towards her room.

Fifteen minutes later Bulma had dressed herself up in the pretty silver-colored dress from the ceremony and put her hair in a bun. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. "Simply irresistible."
Vegeta was already sitting at the table when Bulma came in. "For once in your life, woman, I will allow you to sit at the table with me. I want to discuss the project with Gedeas and you." he said, looking at Bulma, waiting for her thanks. Bulma noticed this. "Thank you, my Lord." He nodded in approval. At this moment Gedeas came in. "I hope I'm not too late." He said. "No, it's quite okay, soldier. Sit down with us." Gedeas sat down and smiled at Bulma as he grabbed her hand comfortingly under the table. He figured that she must be a little scared for Vegeta. Luckily for him, Vegeta didn't notice the way Gedeas held Bulma's hand. They ate. Halfway the main dish, (when Bulma was already stuffed) Vegeta opened the conversation. "Well, Gedeas, tell me, how far have you gotten with your project?" Gedeas smiled. "Well, my King, I am glad to tell you that we are finished." The machine has been constructed, and been tested upon the other machine. Those tests were all positive. But we, naturally, didn't get to test it out in real yet. There for we ask your permission to go back to Loshijka, to test it on the rebels. I know where their hiding place is, and would like to test the machine there."
"I would like to see it first. Then I will be able to decide upon this request." "That is possible, my King. We have placed the machine inside the lab, so if you would be so kind as to follow us there…" Bulma said. Vegeta nodded. "Let us go right away then." He spoke, and stood up with a swing of his cape. They all got up and went to the lab.
There the machine stood, about the size of a regeneration tank and the looks of a graviton. They ran a test to show him how it worked. Vegeta was somewhat impressed. The work that the woman and the Soldier had done in only fourteen days was amazing. "Very good." We will go to Loshijka the day after tomorrow to test the machine on the rebels. You are dismissed, Soldier." Gedeas bowed and left the room. "You will come to my room in an hour." He said to Bulma, then turned around and flew out. Bulma solemnly walked back to her room. "Why in the world would he want me to come to his room after dinner? Raging hormones?………….. Nah!"
***
Bulma carefully walked into Vegeta's room. She saw nobody. "Vegeta?" she called. She felt hands sliding around her waist, pressing her back against a hard body. "King Vegeta." He whispered in her ear. Bulma tensed, then hardly surpressed a giggle. Raging hormones after all! she thought.
He turned her around and looked deeply into her eyes. She was wearing the same silver colored dress from before, but her hair hung loose now. Vegeta let one hand slide through it. Bulma looked up at him. He was surprised at her look. It was one of seriousness. Not a trace of fear or humbleness was to be seen. In his head the alarmbells were ringing. He was constantly asking himself if he should do this. If he should sleep with a mere slave. If he had still been out in space, it wouldn't have mattered that much, but now he was the King, the most important person on the planet. And he should seriously think about this, before he did this. He looked at her again. It was not like she had a say in this. He could do whatever he wanted to her, so he wouldn't have to mind about her. But… Hell, what did he care! It was not like that would change anything between them. He would still be the Legendary King of Vegetasei, and she would be the unimportant slave. A throwaway product.
Bulma had her own thoughts. She knew him well enough to know that he was fighting a great inner battle. Because, of course, in his eyes she was only a servant. And he had always been very conservative about sleeping with someone. She knew almost for sure that he was trying his best to convince himself that it wasn't a big deal to sleep with her. She also knew that she was completely at his mercy. A naughty memory flashed through her mind.
Flashback
I wanted you all for myself… " Vegeta said to her in a calm voice. As always, thinking that she was even more beautiful when she was mad. "And why, may I ask did you have to tie me up like this?" Bulma yelled, still a little mad. "Because it turns me on. You don't like it?" he smirked, as he untied her again. "Well, I suppose it is kinda sexy…" Bulma smiled, and put her arms around his neck. But Vegeta didn't give in this easily "We really shouldn't do that right now. You shouldn't exhaust yourself so much. That is bad for the baby." Vegeta said, hoping to upset her even more by threatening not to sleep with her. "But Vegeta!!!" Bulma whined. Vegeta smirked again. "Gotcha!" he whispered, and carried her to the bed.
End Flashback
Vegeta had always loved being in control. And, well, it was not that she could do anything about it or something. But… actually… she didn't mind at all. Let him figure this one out on his own. she thought, and just stared at him, waiting for his decision.
Vegeta finally decided. No one would mind. He would make sweet love to her*. He tossed away all his objections and pushed Bulma down onto the bed…
***
When Bulma woke up, Vegeta was already awake, staring at her. She stretched her back and his arm shot out. He turned her halfway around, pushed her neck aside and stared at a scar on her neck, which had been covered with foundation before. "A Saiyan mating bite…" his voice was barely above a whisper. Bulma stared into his eyes. "Yours." He furiously shook his head. "No! It isn't! I took special care not to do that tonight." She sighed. "It is yours. Let me show you." And Vegeta felt her carefully going around in his head, using the very weak bond, which had probably been formed last night. "Look at this." She whispered, and opened one of her favorite memories for him.
Flashback
"I know nothing of these things, but I do want everyone to know that I, Prince Vegeta of Vegetasei, have taken Bulma as my mate." Vegeta said proudly. He then placed Bulma before him, pushed her head aside and sank his canines into her neck. The place where the scar was forming, was ripped open again, and everyone in the hall was silent, as Bulma moaned, while Vegeta drank her blood. After three minutes, when he felt Bulma was getting weak of the loss of blood, he let her go. Vegeta still stood behind Bulma, supporting her with his hands. Bulma was a little dazed, but regained posture and clearly said: "I accept."
End Flashback
"No! NO! NO! That is not true! That is a false trick you stupid slut!!" Vegeta yelled as he furiously tossed Bulma away from the bed. He stood up and kicked her stomach. Bulma doubled over in pain. "Get out of my room!" Vegeta roared. Bulma left, hardly able to walk, with a sheet wrapped around her body. She stumbled into her own room and fell onto the bed. It hadn't worked. He wouldn't believe it. DAMNED!!! But she wouldn't give up hope! NO WAY! She would just let that dead Saiyan have her husband. She was gonna fight for him. At least tonight had been great. The pain in her belly had disappeared and Bulma fell asleep, dreaming of her Prince**.

Two days later three persons walked over to a deserted part of the island named Loshijka. The first one, who was also the tallest one, who was also the arrogant one, who was also the strongest one, who was also the highest in rank, who was also the most impressive looking one (cape), who was also the lightest tempered one (okay, I'll shut up) was Vegeta. The other two were Gedeas and Bulma. Gedeas was carrying the anti- Sinran'to – machine. "We are almost here, Ou-sama." Gedeas said. "You stay behind, woman." Vegeta told Bulma. "Just watch from a distance." His angry, and almighty position left no room for arguments. He and Gedeas walked on together. "Do you see that tree, My King?" Gedeas asked, pointing to a small oak. "Yes…"
"Well, that is one of the two trees that mark the entrance of the camp. At this moment they're probably dead scared, because they can see you standing here, but can't hear you."
"Activate the machine."
Gedeas turned on the machine and to Vegeta's great surprise a huge camp came out, with a whole bunch of Saiyans cowering away. Vegeta frowned. "What a pathetic group of men," he said as he blasted them all. "Where is Ginyu?" Gedeas shrugged. "Probably long gone by now. He has emergency exits everywhere in case the camp gets discovered."
"Aha… Well, I don't see any use for you anymore." Vegeta said.
Gedeas screamed in fear as he realized what his king was up to. "I must say, thank you for building the machine." And with that the King punched Gedeas in the stomach and blasted him without another look. Bulma screamed loudly. Vegeta glared up at her, angry of this disturbance. "What you want some too?" Tears rolled across Bulma's cheeks. "No my Lord." Goddammit!! Vegeta's an asshole!! How could he just kill a nice man who has helped him so well!! FUCK IT I HATE HIM!! Vegeta hovered towards her with a smug smirk. He lifted her by the arm, and with the machine in the other hand he flew back to the Palace.

* Well, what did ya think he would decide!?!?!?
** I know what you're thinking: Doesn't she feel pain? Isn't she mad at him? Why does she still dream of him? I'm not sure either. I just know that she still loves him, and will fight for him. Just work with me here. No flames about this okay?
A/N Ahhh! It is good that Vegeta is still a bad man. I thought he was getting a bit too soft, and though I was a little sad to kill Gedeas *sniff* I had to do something to prove that: VEGETA AIN'T GETTING SOFT!!! Hum… *looks around angrily to scare off surprised onlookers* I think I'll stop talking now… that would be for the best. Oh, one more thing: Also don't flame me about the generous amount of flashbacks. I'll try to cut on them a little, 'kay? Anyways, I'll get the next chap out soon. Love y'all!! - Marlyne
