Chapter 3
"Sir?"
Vegeta opened one eye, annoyed, waiting for the explanation as in why this nurse is bothering him.
"Um...sir, Ms. Briefs is stable and just needs to rest for a day. Although the hospital is recommending that she should go see a ...psychologist. Its common for people who commited unsuccesful suicide to want to commit it again."
He opened his other eye and straightened up, back no longer against the wall and arms unfolded. He gave the nurse a bored glance and moved to walk out of the hospital.
"SIR! Don't you want to see Ms. Briefs?"
"No."
"Ok...", the nurse frowned her dispproval at the his behavior.
"Well sir, if you don't want to see her I think I know someone Ms. Briefs would like to have visit her. You see, Ms. Briefs didn't realize it but..the first word she whispered when she came back to conciousness was some guy called ...whats his name...Vegetable? Nonono...what was it Veg...Vegeta! Yes. Do you know some guy named Vegeta? If you don't want to go see her, at least help out by finding this Vegeta guy to come see her."
Vegeta continued walking and as he stepped out of the automatic sliding door, he stopped a moment and said with out turning around "I am Vegeta."
The he blasted off.

Bulma's room...
Bulma closed her eyes but she was just resting her eyes, not sleeping.
"Bulma! Bulma!"
Her mother came rushing in and worriedly looked Bulma over.
Bulma tried to force a smile. "Hey mom."
"Bulma! Are you ok?! Do you feel ok? Kami, do you have a problem at home? Why did you..."
Bulma couldn't think of anything to say and so she said the next thing that popped into her head.
"Mom where's Vegeta?"
Mrs. Briefs stopped her fussing and looked at Bulma. "He was the one who carried you here dear."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vegeta flew around for a while then went back to Capsule Corps to get a shirt. He had only enough time to put on underwear and jeans when he rushed out of the bathroom before. He put on a gray shirt and layed on his bed.
"Baka onna. Why did she have to go do that for. Now my head is full of thoughts about her. Argh maybe I should've gone seen her instead. Maybe that would've gotten my head cleared up."
He stood back up and paced around his room. "Fine. I'll go see her. I don't know why. But if that will help to get her out of my head, I will see her."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"...wow Mom. Vegeta didn't kill you for bothering him showering?"
Mrs. Briefs laughed. "No dear...but...Bulma...you have to tell me whats wrong. Why did you do that to yourself?"
Bulma avoided her mothers eyes and said nothing.
Mrs. Briefs sighed. "Ok...you don't have to tell me right now, I'll go downstairs to sign you out ok?"
"K mom...hey what time is it?"
"Its...about 8pm."
Bulma closed her eyes tiredly when her mom stepped out the door.
"I didn't know Vegeta would carry me to the hospital... I didn't even know he would even care to actually help my mom out."
"I don't."
Bulma's eyes snapped open. "What?!"
"I DON'T care about you two whining onnas. I just needed your screaming mother out of my sight."
Vegeta stepped into the room from the doorway.
Bulma looked at him warily. "Then what are you doing here?"
He chose to ignore her and walked to her bedside, always maintaing eye contact.
Bulma looked up at him.
"This health facility wants you to go see a psychologist." Vegeta's face held no amusement, no smirk. He had a dead serious face on.
Bulma's eyes widend. "A shrink?"
Vegeta continued looking at her intensely. "They said a person who had an unsuccesful suicide would most likely try to attempt again." Stressing on the word ~suicide~.
Bulma winced. Her mother was afraid to say that word in front of her. He said it naturally.
"Oh...well..er..."
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Why did you commit suicide?"
Bulma couldn't tell him. "Last time I checked, I didn't exist to you at all so why the sudden interest?"
"Bulma, honey can you walk by yourself? I mean you are still weak. We can go now." Mrs. Briefs walked back into the room.
"Thats alright mom, I can walk." Bulma sat up slowly and winced a little at the soreness and aching in her stomach.
"Oh. Vegeta you're here too. I want to thank you again for helping Bulma!"
"Hmmph."
Bulma swung her legs over the side and stood up. "Ow...I hurt all over!" she whined.
"It'll go away when you get some rest at home." Mrs. Briefs came over to help her daughter walk steady.
10 minutes later, they got out of the hospital, Bulma moving at a agonizing pace, wincing the whole way. Vegeta had enough of it so he picked her up hero style and took off into the air slowly. "Whaaa!? Vegeta? What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing. I thought you are suppose to be a genious."
"Mou! Vegeta you are too mean." But she closed her eyes and sighed contently.
Bulma had curled up closer to him and wrapped her arms aroung Vegeta's neck.
Vegeta cursed at her inwardly and continued his journey to Capsule Corps.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bulma woke up drowsily when Vegeta was putting her down in her own bed. She frowned a little and kept her hold on his neck so he was bent over the side of the bed over her lying form. She had just commited suicide right here earlier in the day. She didn't feel the warmth and security she had felt when Vegeta was holding her.
"Vegeta...?" she murmured.
He just looked at her. "What." He growled softly.
"Thank you..."
He didn't say anything, face not showing anything.
A few seconds passed, them just looking at each other. "Bulma. Let go of me."
Bulma sighed. "Vegeta do you think its possible if I sleep in your room? Just for today. Please? I don't...feel right here."
"Have you lost your mind? Why my room?!"
Bulma felt her spirits drop and she also released her hold around his neck.
Vegeta straightend up and watched as the woman closed her eyes, turned onto her side, facing away from him. The way her pale face dropped when he told her that she couldn't go to his room would stay in his mind for a pretty long time.
Bulma immediatly drifted off to sleep. But it was an uneasy sleep. Vegeta lifted his right hand to pinch the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. I have no idea why the hell I'm doing this. I must be fucking crazy.
To tell the truth, ever since Vegeta started staying at Capsule Corps, day by day, Bulma had grown on him. He became accustomed to her moods and spoiled behavior. Well..he had to admit he was a little like that himself. (*understatement...*)
Many people around noticed that even if Bulma was insulting his ass off, she was still standing, breathing. Bulma had become his "tolerable" companion. In other words, even if Vegeta wouldn't acknowledge it, she had became a friend in his heart. Or..uh..as CLOSE as what Vegeta's definition of a friend is...
Vegeta opened his eyes and gave a mini sigh. Since theres noone around he permits himself to do that. "I am going to regret this..." he muttered as he leaned down....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Next Morning...about 9am
Bulma woke up and stretched a little. Yawning, she sat up. She got off the bed into the slippers next to the bed and walked to her bathroom. ~BUMP~ "Ow!!"
She opened her eyes all the way and saw she ran into the wall. "Huh?"
Bulma spun around and looked around the room she was in. "This isn't my room..."
It was a guest room. Her eyes widened. It was VEGETA'S room. "Wha?! Is THAT why I slept so soundly?!...who put me here?!"
Bulma rushed out onto the balcony and looked at the white sphere shaped room out in the yard. Vegeta! He put me there after I fell asleep!
She could hear pounding and strings of curses and flashes of intense light showed up in the windows. Bulma put her arms on the balcony and leaned on it. She smiled softly. "I don't think I'll see Vegeta for about 3-5 days since he's retreated to that damn room again. But..." She looked back into the room and grinned. "Maybe..."
She turned her head back to face outside. "Maybe there's a chance after all..."
She chuckled and went to shower in Vegeta's bathroom. "He won't mind. Its not like he'll use it for another few days."
The rest of the day, Bulma was in a happy spirit and nothing could dampen her mood. Her mother was worried about her for a while but seeing her daughter in such a good mood, she put her worries down.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3 days later...
Bulma yawned. She crawled into the queen sized bed and fell asleep listening to the familiar and comforting sound of Vegeta training in the gravity room.
Around 11pm, Vegeta finally stepped out of the room for the first time in 3 days, giving himself some rest.
He went into his room and immediately noticed a smell in the room. It was dark and he sniffed the air. He growled softly.
He walked up to the bed and poked the woman in the back.
"hmmn? No thank you.. I'm not that fond of snails..." she murmured.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. He was starting to get annoyed. He poked her a little harder this time.
"Goku...stop growing that damn tail of yours...its scaring the living daylights out of Muten Roshi..."
Vegeta paused, a chuckle was making way to his throat but he stopped it in time. He didn't bother poking her again. He leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Wake up Bulma."
"hmmn?" she stirred and turned onto her back and opened her eyes slowly.
He, satisfied, stood up straight and crossed his arms looking down at her. "What happend to ~Just for today~ Bulma?"
Bulma sat up and looked sheepishly down at her hands. "Um..well..uh...after the first night, I felt so comfortable here I slept here everynight afterwards."
"Uh-huh."
Bulma wrinkled her nose. "Vegeta, you smell."
He raised an eyebrow at her. But walked off silently to his bathroom. He walked in and twisted around like lightning. "You used my bathroom too?"
Bulma blushed lightly and stuttered. "Uh...um...er..."
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Forget it."
He closed the door and took his shower.
Bulma wasnt sure if she should go or not. He hadn't chased her out of his room. Well he didn't tell her to get out. 10 minutes later, he came back out and Bulma was gone.
"Thank Kami..." He was getting a little turned on by the gorgeous woman in his bed.
Vegeta slipped into the bed and noticed the warmth Bulma had left behind. The pillow she had slept on has a faint trace of the smell of the shampoo she uses.
For some reason, his legs seem to walk by themselves as he stood back up and walked to Bulma's room.
He found her laying there, not sleeping yet.
Bulma turned towards the door as it opened.
Vegeta stood there, looking at her intently.
"Vegeta? Why aren't you sleeping?" She tried to avoid the thoughts invading her mind while she looked at Vegeta who only has boxers on. Does he wear underwear underneath that? she wondered.
Vegeta smirked and moved into her room, picking her up in his arms.
"WHa!? Vegeta what are you doing?"
"Why, I thought you liked my room."
Bulma blushed and punched his chest lightly.
"Why are you doing this anyway?"
Vegeta looked down at her before going into his room. "You might kill yourself again and I don't want to hear your mother's screeches."
Bulma frowned and tried to wiggle out of his arms. He held her firmly and closed the door with his waist.
He placed her on his bed and crawled in next to her, pulling her to him.
Bulma looked at him in wonder as her arms found their way up around his neck and his arms wrapped around her waist.
Vegeta smirked. "I needed my bed warm."
Bulma blinked and her mouth opened to demand him to let her go. "Let go of me you bas-" Her words never made it out. He had covered her mouth with his and kissed her slowly, passionately.
Bulma was so surprised she went still for a second. But she kissed him back and ran one of her hands through his hair and the other hand down his back.
They kissed slowly, taking their time for there's a whole night ahead of them.
Thank you whoever you are...for persuading me to stay... was her last thought before her senses were all filled with thoughts of Vegeta.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The goddess smiled and directed her thoughts to the guardian of the earth. Finally he made a move. I was getting worried.
Kami chuckled. Thats Vegeta for you.
The goddess nodded and said "You welcome Bulma." even though she knew Bulma couldn't hear her anymore since she wasn't dead. Or near dead.
"You welcome."
