Hey, minna. My boyfriend came to visit, so I didn't write or anything. And when I came back, I discovered that ff.net has been having some problems? Bah.. gomen nasai for the delay! I also want to take my time with this fic because I seem to get a lot of blocks with it. Dunno why.. but anyhow, below is a little summary of what happened in the last chapter since I haven't updated in a while and I'm sure you all forgot! Hehe ALSO, thank you all so much for the wonderful ideas! I chose a few; I might use more in future chapters. A few of you said you would like for me to be a little more descriptive, so I've tried to make it better as far as details go. Let me know if it's still not detailed enough! ***Everyone check out the picture in my profile! Juuhachigou drew it for this fic. It's WONDERFUL! It's of Vegeta as a pharaoh. And might I add, it's tasty. *giggles* Thanks, Juuhachigou!
Inukice - Thanks so much for the wonderful idea! I decided to use it. You're so creative. Arigatou. ^_~
V.J. - I loved your idea also; I'm most likely going to use it sometime. Thanks a bunch!
Samishii - I know! I can't picture a rotten Vegeta either. I just write about him; he still looks sexy though. Hehe.
Mia Skywalker - Thank you for the description tip! I will definately take it into consideration. ^^
Storm Chick - Nope. Veggie doesn't have his saiyan appetite. *sigh* He's an egyptian pharaoh, so he's a Chikyuu-jin/Earthling, whatever you want to call it. He just eats normal. ;p And since he was a pharaoh, I'm sure he would have tried all of the gourmet foods around the world. So, I think he wouldn't find the foods strange. That would be cute though if he didn't know what Chikyuu food was like. *grins*
Last chapter: The gang came across two of the dragonballs, one which was in an abondoned house where they are staying the night. Mr. Bakh and his people are closing in on Vegeta. Selfia, a trusty psychic for Mr. Bakh, is tracking the gang down.
"Hmm.. I suppose this is our bathtub.", Bulma murmured while staring at what looked to be a large barrel. (Picture ChiChi's bathing barrel in DBZ.)
The gang had decided to stay the night in the abandoned shack they had found their second dragonball in. It wasn't big or clean, but it would work. It had one bedroom with a broken bed and a closet. It also had a tiny bathroom with no sink and they weren't even sure if the ever-dirty toilet even worked. They could always use the woods if the need to use a toilet arose. (~_^) And last in the tiny, little house, they had a bare living room connected to what looked to be a kitchen. It only had a table and a burnt stove, but still, it would do. They had already eaten anyhow.
"I get the bed!", Yamucha called out. "Well, what's left of the bed..!"
He ran into the bedroom without a second thought.
"Jackass. Leaves the ladies to sleep on the cold floor!", Bulma mumbled while glaring at the now-shut door of where Yamucha was. Vegeta "hmph'd" and plopped down in a corner of the room covered by the shadows. What he liked best. He removed his hat and set it down beside him. He leaned back onto the wall and shut where his eyes would be. (People lose their eyes when they're mummified.)
Bulma and Hannah laid down on the other side of the room, curled up to each other. Bulma felt a warm feeling of safeness. For some reason, having a scary, half-dead pharaoh made her feel secure. She thought of him as a friend even if he was rude and arrogant. She didn't really want to kill him, but he wasn't meant to be alive. Was he? Too confusing. She'd think about it more in the morning. Bulma started as Velvet climbed out of the opening in her bag and crawled underneath Hannah's arm and fell into a snooze, purring lightly. She laughed lightly and she, too, fell into slumber.
*****A couple of hours later*****
Bulma sighed and sat up, gently untangling her limbs from her little cousin. She might as well forget it; she wasn't going to get any sleep. She tiptoed over to the only window in the shack. She sighed again and leaned her elbows on the windowsill. She looked upwards through the trees at the full moon glowing brightly. She smiled faintly and began to hum quietly, cautious of the two sleeping figures in the room. Soon quiet humming began beautiful singing.
Vegeta awoke, but kept his silence. What was the woman doing? Was she singing? He glanced over to "the brat." Hannah was still sound asleep with Velvet now perched upon her owner's stomach.
He looked back over to the blue beauty gazing out of the window. He strained to hear the words to the song she appeared to be singing.
Bulma sang quietly while a small smile appeared on her face.
~I can't fight this feeling any longer
~And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
~What started out as friendship has grown stronger
~I only wish I had the strength to let it show
~I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
~I say there is no reason for my fear
~'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
She hummed a little bit, smiling up at the bright moonlight.
~And I can't fight this feeling anymore
~I've forgotten what I started fighting for
~It's time to bring this ship into the shore
~And throw away the ores forever
She sighed and continued singing. *She sounds so.. beautiful..*, Vegeta thought obliviously. He became entranced by her voice quickly.
-Flashback-
"Sleep, my little prince. Sleep, sleep, my darling.", the Egyptian Queen sang to her toddler son. He yawned and stretched, listening contently to his mother's voice lulling him into sleep.
"Let your dreams take over...", she continued as Vegeta closed his eyes.
"G'night, mommy.", chibi Vegeta whispered to his beloved mother.
"Sleep well, my little love.", she whispered back and kissed him upon his forehead, tucking the covers around him snug.
-End Flashback-
Vegeta smiled at the memory of his past and listened to Bulma again.
~My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
~I've been running around in circles in my mind
~And it always seems that I'm following you
~But, you take me to the places that alone, I'd never find
She chose not to finish the song as fatigue overcame her.
Vegeta heard her yawn quietly and begin to turn around. He quickly shut his 'eyes' and pretended to be asleep.
Bulma tiptoed over to her mummified guest. She stared down at him. *I wonder what he looked like when he was alive.* Vegeta felt her hard stare on his form. His 'eyes' popped open and he growled at her. She jumped back in surprise.
"Oh, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up.", she apologized quietly and turned away and walked back to the opposite corner of the room. She bent down and moved Hannah's arm over and laid down, falling into an unpeaceful slumber.
Vegeta shook his head and attempted to fall asleep, as well.
**********
"G'morning, Vegeta!", Hannah squealed while pouncing on a grumpy pharaoh. He grunted and sat up. He shoved the blue-haired child off of him and stood up. He glanced over at Velvet. His face took on a look of fear; he shivered.
"Woman," Vegeta sauntered up to Bulma, "Let's continue our search for the dragonballs."
She rolled her eyes. "Yes, sire.", she replied with sarcasm dripping from her very words. He nodded and strutted out the open doorway. Yamucha scratched his head and walked up to Bulma.
"Bulma, when are we going to get rid of him?"
"Yamucha, he doesn't really seem that bad. I just think he wants to be back in his body before he goes back to the Underworld. Do you blame him?", she responded.
He shook his head. "No, but still! He's dangerous, Bulma. We should kill him once we get the chance."
She sighed. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Come on, Hannah!", she switched her voice to yell for Hannah.
Hannah kissed her feline friend on the head then slipped her back into her bag for the day's journey.
*****Elsewhere*****
"Selfia, my dear, where to now?", Mr. Bakh asked sweetly and flashed her an innocent smile.
Selfia grimaced. "Follow me, sir. I shall lead us to them." Mr. Bakh nodded and motioned for Worm to follow. Worm pressed his glasses up and gathered his scrolls. Mr. Bakh licked his lips and followed after his psychic henchman. (Or henchwoman, hehe)
**********
"FUCK!", Bulma screeched as she tripped over a rock. Yamucha reacted quickly and caught his comrade before she fell. Hannah opened her mouth in surprise at the use of a "bad word."
Vegeta glanced over his shoulder at the event. He felt a twinge of jealousy at seeing Bulma in Yamucha's arms.
"Yikes! Thanks, Yamucha!", Bulma wiped the sweat off of her brow. Yamucha smiled and let go of her, continuing behind Vegeta.
Vegeta scowled at him and turned back to the front.
"Baka woman!", Vegeta called to Bulma, "We are nearing a dragonball!"
Bulma sneered. "Don't call me baka woman!"
He chuckled darkly. They neared a small clearing and in the center sat a beautiful, shimmering pond. It was four feet deep at the most. At the bottom of the pond, an orange sparkle gleamed.
"Retrieve it.", Vegeta commanded, pointing at the bottom of the pond.
Bulma began to move forward to get it, but Yamucha stopped her and whispered in her ear, "This is our chance, Bulma! We can drown him!"
Bulma whirled around. "What?!"
"Shh! C'mon! This could be the only chance we have to get rid of him. If we both hold him under the water, I'm su..."
"Yamucha, that's enough.", she cut him off. "You know, he doesn't seem that bad. Why can't we just let him have his wish so he can live in peace? Wouldn't you want the same done for you?" She didn't wait for his response, instead just stalked off to the pond.
She stepped into the ice-cold water and began reaching down. She cursed quietly as she realized she couldn't reach it. She took a deep breath and slouched underwater, missing Yamucha's warning about her having a white shirt on.
"Hi, Mr. Vegeta!", Hannah pranced up to the pharaoh. He grunted and looked away.
"Would you like to hold Velvet?", she continued as she massaged her cat's tail. His eyes widened and he darted into the sky.
"I hate brats like you!", he yelled down at her. Water gathered in her eyes and she let out an ear-piercing cry. Yamucha and Vegeta covered their ears in pain. Vegeta slowly floated down to the ground and tried to soothe her to shut her up.
"Did I say I hate brats like you? No! You just misunderstood! What I said was.. uh.. I hate rats like Sue! Yes! You see, there was this rat named Sue in my kingdom...", he began telling her a fake tale of a rat named Sue. She quieted down and listened contently, wholeheartedly believing his story.
Bulma emerged from the water and giggled at the 'storyteller.' She held up their newest addition to the collection; the two-star dragonball.
Vegeta smirked as he looked over Bulma's figure. She didn't find this amusing.
"What are you staring at, mummy-breath?", she planted her free hand on her hip and gripped 'her' dragonball tighter. Vegeta simply pivoted on one heel and walked away, assumingly towards the next dragonball.
Yamucha cautiously walked up to his friend. "Bulma, uhh.. you might want to change into a dry shirt.", he stuttered as he pointed to her shirt. Because of its wetness, her chest was fully exposed. She slowly looked down and shrieked. Her arms flew to cover his chest. She whimpered as a tear gathered at the corner of her eye. *Oh, Kami, why didn't I wear a bra?!*
"No, no, no! It's ok! Here; let's get you a clean shirt and everything will be fine.", Yamucha comforted her. He grabbed her shoulder and led her over to where Hannah and Vegeta had stopped to wait on them.
"I think we should set up camp, Bul-chan. It's almost dark out.", Hannah suggested, holding a very irritated pharaoh's hand.
"Let go, brat!", he tried to brush her away, but to no avail. Bulma nodded and bent down to retrieve her bag. She unzipped it and snagged a dry, blue shirt, the same color of her gorgeous eyes. She urgently grabbed a bra, also. She turned on her heel and walked a slightly long distance to a lone tree.
"We'll set up camp here!", she cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled. She stepped behind the tree and changed into her new clothing.
The rest of the crew crept over to the tree and began to light a fire, get out clothing for a pillow, etc. Another night on a hard surface.
"Vegeta-san, why can't we just fly to get the drumminballs?", Hannah yawned out.
"Brat, they are DRAGONballs and I can't carry all three of you to fly! You're fat.", he turned to her, but she was already asleep.
NEXT CHAPTER OF EGYPTIAN CURSES AND FATE: The gang meets someone new on their search for the dragonballs. Who could it be?
ff.net has been down forever! Ahh!! Anyhow, I guess I'll start on the next chapter since I can't READ anything! *sigh* The song Bulma sings is by REO Speedwagon and it's called Can't Fight This Feeling. I've printed all of the lyrics below in case any of you want them. It's a beautiful song. I only used the words I felt fit with the story. Until next time... 3
~I can't fight this feeling any longer
~And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
~What started out as friendship has grown stronger
~I only wish I had the strength to let it show
~I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
~I say there is no reason for my fear
~'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
~You give my life direction
~You make everything so clear
~And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight
~You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark, winter's night
~And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
~CHORUS: And I can't fight this feeling anymore
~I've forgotten what I started fighting for
~It's time to bring this ship into the shore
~And throw away the ores forever
~'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
~I've forgotten what I started fighting for
~And if I had to crawl upon the floor
~Come crashing through your door
~Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
~My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
~I've been running around in circles in my mind
~And it always seems that I'm following you
~But, you take me to the places that alone, I'd never find
~And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight
~You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark, winter's night
~And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
CHORUS
