CHAPTER 19- Kittens?!?!
I can't believe I'm nearly up to the 20th chapter of my first ever fic!! Woo hoo! I also can't believe what a success it's been so far!! I haven't been flamed once and I actually have loyal repeated reviewers!! Unbelievable! Any way…
Disclaimer: hands up who thinks I should own dragon ball z!!! No one? Just me then…
Vegeta exited the house to find Goku grinning at him.
"Come on Kakkarot, let's get training! I'm in the mood to beat you to a bloody pulp right now!"
"Hold on a minute Vegeta! I've got to erm… go get something a left out front, yeah. Wait here a second!"
Seconds later Goku reappeared with a large basket in his hands.
"What are you up to Kakkarot? Don't tell me you brought your lunch with you?"
"Oh no! I wouldn't miss Mrs. Briefs cooking for the world. There is something I brought for you though!" Goku was obviously looking forward to surprising Vegeta, who eyed the basket with suspicion before replying with acidic sarcasm
"A surprise gift? for me? Oh Kakkarot you shouldn't have!" he chuckled "now just tell me what's in the basket so we can get on with this!"
'He's gonna love this!' Goku thought excitedly
"Here ya go Vegeta! Just what you always wanted!" Goku handed Vegeta the basket and he peered into it seeing something move under several layers of blankets, catching a glimpse of gray and black-stripped fur.
"What is the meaning of this Kakkarot?" Vegeta was losing patience rapidly.
"He he he!" Goku giggled, "It's a kitty Vegeta!! I know, I know, no one's supposed to know but you could just say I brought it for Bulma! Speaking of Bulma…"
Goku stopped when he saw the confused look on Vegeta's face.
"What's up Vegeta? Oh I know! Don't worry you don't have to thank me, I know how hard that is for you…"
Vegeta was shaking with rage and confusion. He dropped the basket causing the cat to yowl, jump out of the basket and run through the open gravity chamber door, escaping to Kami knows where.
"What did you mean by this? Are you mocking me third class?? You'll live to regret this" he growled.
Goku wasn't particularly worried; death threats from Vegeta were something he'd adjusted to a long time ago. However, he did have a strange feeling that somewhere, something had gone horribly wrong.
"What's wrong Vegeta? I thought you'd like a kitty of your own? I would have brought you a small child, but they're harder to buy, and chi chi said that that's kind of illegal any way!"
Vegeta couldn't make any sense of Goku's ramblings today
"Forget it Kakkarot let's just spar."
"Man you're really wound up Vegeta… are you ok? Is now one of those times when you need a big hug?" Goku said sympathetically.
"WHAT???" Vegeta flew into a rage like none he had felt before and charged at Goku.
"Wait Vegeta we haven't put the gravity on ye.." Goku was
interrupted as Vegeta's knee connected with his stomach.
'Forget the gravity, looks like Vegeta's planning to give me a good work out
today without it!' Goku thought, desperately trying to keep up with Vegeta's
rocketing punches.
Meanwhile back in the living room of the capsule corp. house.
"Oh Kami! Vegeta's going to kill me when he gets out of there! There's no way I'm going to get away with this! This is even worse than the pink shirt incident!" Bulma was pacing up and down frantically. Suddenly
"Meeoow!" Bulma looked up from the floor and scanned the room for the source of the sound.
"Meeoow!" came the sound even louder as she looked down to find a small kitten rubbing itself affectionately against her leg
"Aaaww!" said Bulma, her gaze softening instantly "how did you get in here you sweet little thing? Are you lost?" she picked the cat up and looked at its collar "stripe" she read the name aloud "ugh! How unoriginal!" she turned the tag over to find an engraving "property of prince Vegeta of vegetasei"
'Oh no!' Bulma mentally screamed as she put the pieces together 'Goku bought Vegeta a kitten?!'
"Meeoow!" said stripe.
"Aww are you hungry?"
"Meeoow" said stripe
"Of course you are!" Bulma said in a baby voice "well lets go feed you shall we? What would you prefer chicken or rabbit?"
"Meeoow" said stripe
Back in the gravity chamber
"Gosh Vegeta calm down! This is only supposed to be sparring, we're not supposed to kill each other!" Goku wasn't, as usual, at full power yet, but he didn't want Vegeta to burst a blood vessel.
"Shut up Kakkarot! Unless you're going to explain to me the reason for this mockery!!" Vegeta continued to attack Goku relentlessly
"But Vegeta! I wasn't mocking you! I was only trying to make you happy!"
"What on earth made you think that that fur ball and a 'big hug' from anyone would make me happy? Let alone from an idiot like you…"
"But Vegeta, you said that I was an honor to the saiya jin race!"
Vegeta stopped.
"I said that?"
"Yeah, last time we sparred. Don't you remember? You told me all about how you like kittens and small children, and you told me about how you don't like the pressure of being a prince and…"
"THAT'S QUITE ENOUGH!"
"Ok Vegeta but you asked…"
"And now I'm telling you to be quiet!"
"You know Vegeta, I really don't have to take orders from you" said Goku, still
calm as ever while Vegeta raged for some unknown reason
'Maybe he really was hypnotized or something last week. He seems to be back to normal now, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring this up, he seems a little offended.'
At that moment Vegeta stormed out of the gravity room howling
"That damn sneaky wench!!!"
'She will pay for this, oh yes, she will pay dearly for this!'
Vegeta stormed through the back door to find Bulma crouched on the floor gently stroking the 'damned' kitten while it stuffed its 'sickeningly cute' little face.
"Woman!!!" he roared
She looked up sharply as a fight or flight decision was presented to her
'Damn I thought he'd train for a lot longer than that! I can't run, I wouldn't get two meters from him before he caught me. I'll just have to stand my ground…' Bulma stood and looked across the kitchen table at the furious saiya jin prince, the second strongest being in the entire universe and prepared to give him the lecture of a life time…
"eep" was all she could manage
The look of sheer terror on her face was enough to make Vegeta want to laugh out loud, but right now she had to pay for what she had done…
'Now where shall I start…' he grinned sadistically
He he he!!! CLIFFHANGER! Sorry! ^.^
