Chapter 2

"Does anyone care about me?"

Weeks had past since the incident. She was still sad, and didn't even bear to talk about it. The only person that she could talk to was Vegita, even though she
knew that he was mad at her for not making the gravity machine. That mysterious boy just came and stayed in the Capsule Corp. to train. Vegita didn't mind
though. He just got annoyed because he didn't want to say his name. After a few weeks he left, not even saying when he would come back. Vegita was
training again, as usual. He couldn't stop thinking about her, always crying at night, and she doesn't even say anything all day. Total silence. Does she want to
die? He got a bit worried about her, so he stopped training and looked for her. She wasn't in her room again. So he looked in her lab. No one's is inside.
~ Where could she be? ~ He thought, still continuing to search for her. Henoticed her outside the house, in the garden again, looking at the stars. He went close
to her. He touched her shoulder, seeing that she was lonely. He sat down beside her and talked with her.


"Doushita no?" he asked.
"Oh it's nothing," she said back, "but thanks for asking. Why are you here?" "I just wanna look around then I saw you."
"You know Vegita-kun, I don't feel that anyone cares about me anymore. I just want to... you know, leave everything behind and find a better life. Even though
that boy that just came gave me courage to live, I still don't know what to do." She looked down, and didn't even see the look on Vegita's face.
"You're thinking about that Yamcha guy again huh?" he asked him. "Well yeah, it's just that.. I've done a lot of things for him and this is what he would give to
me in return. For me that's unfair, I don't know about him." Tears were starting to drop on hercheeks.
"Don't cry..." he wiped some off of her face, revealing her crystal blue eyes. "Arigatou gozaimasu Vegita-kun. You know, you are the best friend a girl could
ever have." She smiled at him. It was the first time that she smiled all day.
"Why did you choose him as your boyfriend anyway? Why didn't you choose anyone else besides him?" he asked her. ~I just hope that you would choose
me... wait... what am I thinking???~ "Well because he was very kind to me and I kinda.. fell for him. He was a very skillful man but I don't think he is now. He just
looks for girls.""Were you happy with him then?" he asked again.
"Yeah I was up until now. Why are you asking?" she was wondering why she was like interviewed by Vegita. She didn't expect that to happen.
"No reason." "I better get to bed now, it's getting a bit late. How about you, will you go to bed now too?" She stood up, still facing him. He had that icy look on his
face again. Sometimes she wished that he would change. "No," he tried not to look at her, so he looked on the other side, "I don't sleep, I just train
I have to be stronger than Kakarotto.""Well, good luck then. Ja ne Vegita-kun." She waved at him as walked to the door, remembering when she saw Vegita
sleeping the other day. She looked back at the position where they were, but saw that Vegita was gone. She smiled, still thinking why he did that. Usually he
only trains all day, but now, something made him stay with her, she didn't know why. She looked up in the stars again, and saw a shooting star. She
remembered a poem that she usually recites when she was still a kid, it didn't hurt if she could wish on that star now.

"Let's see... star light, star bright, first star I see tonight..." She had quite forgotten the poem but it still came back."I wish I may, I wish I might..." she continued on
reciting it, "have the wish I wish tonight..." ~ I hope I find a better boyfriend who would take care of me and I hope that Vegita-kun would change.. Please make
my wishes come true. ~ she thought as she went inside the house. Vegita was there, although he was on the roof. He heard her recite the poem. Usually he
hates poems, but why did he like that poem now? Was it because that it was a beautiful poem? Or was it that he liked it because Bulma recited it? He wondered
why. He just flew off and looked for somewhere else to hang out, but he still remembered what happened that night. For some reason, he was happy that that
happened. He didn't know how to control his feelings towards her, was it LOVE? He just didn't know, and he didn't care.

The next day, Bulma was more pale than usual. She was there in the dining table, not even touching her food. Vegita was happily eating the food in front of him.
He took a big bite, but then he saw her not eating her food.

"Hey, why won't you eat your food?!" he shouted. He was back to his usual self again, being so arrogant and just being like a baka.
No answer.
"Hey, why don't you." he stopped and gasped as he saw Bulma collapsed on the floor. "Kuso!... Wake up!!" he held her and shook her. Even how hard he tries
to wake her up, it was no use. He took her into her room and put her into bed. He got a bit worried again, he didn't think that this would happen. He hurried
downstairs and called Chichi, knowing that she was Bulma'sbest friend.

"Moshi Moshi, Son Residence.." Chichi answered the phone. ~ Good timing!~ he thought. "Come here quick!!" he ordered her.
"Why? What's wrong?" she asked knowing that it was Vegita on the phone. "Just come! And quick!"
"I'm asking you why. What wrong there?" "Look woman, I have no time to argue with you! Just come here and I'll tell you what happened!" with that, he hang up
the phone. "Hello, hello? What's happening? Maybe he needs something but what does he mean by I'll tell you what happened?" she got worried. She went to
her room and dressed. She bumped on Krillin while she was going out.

"Krillin, take care of Gohan-kun while I'm gone." She ordered him. "Where are you going Chichi-san?" he asked.
"I'm on a hurry just look after him for a while and the whole house too. I'm going to the Capsule Corp. Looks like something bad happened there."
"Well can you take us with you?" Gohan just popped out of nowhere."You have studies to take care off Gohan-kun." She managed to grin to her son.
"Onegai! I think it won't take long kaa-chan." He begged her, and Krillin too. "Ok fine, just don't screw anything up there."
"Wakata! We'll give you a ride there if you like." Krillin said to her. "Fine. Let's go." They went on their way. When they arrived there, they hurried to the front
door. Chichi rang the doorbell, still wondering what had happened in there. Vegita opened the door, he had a concerned, angry looked on his face.

"Why did you just come now?" he got angry at her, still thinking what happened to Bulma. "I'm sorry! Why do you want me here?" she asked him.
"It's.. it's that woman something's.. wrong with her..." he looked down, trying not to make eye contact with her.
"NANI??!! What.. happened to her?" she knew that something bad happen there. "What happen to Bulma-san?" Gohan asked.
"Come in I'll tell you." He let them in. He led them to her room. He opened the door and went inside. Chichi was so shocked. She hurried beside her. She held her
hand and it felt cold. Now she was really worried.
"What happened to her? Answer me!" She didn't know what to do. "She collapsed ok! Now are you happy?" he turned her back on them.
"But why Vegita-san? What's the cause?" Gohan asked him. "Yeah Vegita-san, what happened?" Krillin asked too, looking at her.
"Fine I'll tell you. It was just a few weeks ago that she broke up with that guy Yamcha, until now, she feels sorrow and hatred inside her, glowing. She didn't
sleep, eat or do anything until now. I think she gave in. She was weak, she couldn't even think of anything." He said, still turned his back on them. Gohan was
staring at Bulma, knowing what he would dobecause he studies Biology now and he encountered a lot of people like that. He put his hand on her head and
began to concentrate. He gasped in shock and bowed his head."Her body seems to not responding. I don't really know why." He examined her and telling
everyone in that room what would happen, " Now the only thing that she could do is sleep. Her nervous system might have stopped, and if this continues, her brain might die. We've got to
bring her to the doctor and let her be examined. But I could help her temporarily. I'll try to let her snap out of it." "Then if that happens, we might... never see
Bulma-san again won't we..?" Krillin was sad to see what's happening to her. Those words echoed in Vegita's head, suddenly felt hatred inside him. He would
take revenge on Yamcha, for what he had done to her. "Bulma-san... please wake up..." Gohan still trying to heal her, but his energy didn't work.
"We better take her to the doctor." "No let her rest, let's just call a doctor here. They have a lot of scientists here, I'm sure
there is a doctor." Chichi said, still holding her hand. ~ Don't give up!!~ "I'll find a doctor. Don't worry, I've seen a lot of doctors here when we were passing by."
Krillin said to them. Vegita went farther from her. Krillin noticed him going out and asked, "Where are you going?" "I've got plans." He went out of the door. He
just wanted to get away from her. He didn't want to see this happen to her. He went outside and relaxed a bit even though he couldn't. He just can't control his
feelings over her. He couldn't understand what's happening with him. Krillin shortly followed him outside. He was suppose to find a doctor there, but he wanted
to talk to Vegita first.

"Vegita-san..." "What do you want?" he turned around and saw it was only Krillin. He didn't really want to see anyone now but he did show up.
"I just... want to ask ya something." Krillin didn't know if he could ask the question he has in mind. If he asked it to him, he might kill him but he's taking his chances.
"Might there be a chance that you like... Bulma-san?" he got nervous just talking with him, and he's more nervous now. "Nani? No! I don't like that piece of crap!
She can't even make a stupid gravity machine!" he didn't want to tell the truth though. To Krillin, it was like telling it to the whole universe. "No seriously, do you
like her? I know that you're just telling that just so no one would know." He struck him good. ~ Quite a smart little twerp...~ Vegita thought. "Not exactly." he
turned his back on Krillin. "I do like her because she is attractive but that'sall!"
"Well it was nice of you to take care of her then. See ya later Vegita-san." Krillin ran as fast as he could to find a doctor.
"..Whatever." He just stayed there, thinking deep. ~take care of her.. did.. I.?~ He was thinking if Bulma died.... what would happen to him? He went back to her
room and check on her. He bumped on Chichi on the way up.
"Vegita-san!" she got shocked just seeing him. "What it's like you don't know me." He had an evil smirk on his face. "So is that woman ok?"
"I really don't know. Will you go check them if they are ok?" she asked him a favor, with those puppy dog eyes.
"Uhhh... I hate it when girls do that. Very well then." He was just faking that he didn't like to check on them.
"Arigatou. Ja ne." "Where are you going?" he asked her in confusion.
"I have to see if Krillin found a doctor yet." Quickly, she ran to the corridors, down stairs and went to where scientists were roaming around.
"Hmmmm.. women.." he continued going up until he finally reached his destination. He opened the door and saw Gohan down the floor panting.
"Vegita.. san.. please.. lend me your.. energy.." Gohan said to him. He really wanted to but his other side just controlled him. That other side was the fearless,
rude, arrogant and selfish bastard.
"And why should I?" he asked."Please.. for.. Bulma.. san.. I.. know you wanna.. lend me your.. energy.. I could.. read your mind.." he continued panting.
"Oh.. fine." Heextended his left arm to Gohan and gave him some energy. Gohan got better and began transmitting the energy to Bulma. Knowing that Bulma
would be better now because of Vegita's help, Gohan said, "Arigatou gozaimasu Vegita-san. She'll be better by now but I'm not sure when she would wake
up."
"Well she better do. She needs to make my gravity machine!" he lied to Gohan. Deep inside, he was happy that she would be fine.
"Hehehe.. remember I could read your mind! You do like Bulma-san don't you?" he teased Vegita, well still knowing that Vegita could kill him though.
"Errr.. no! I don't! Why would I like a baka like her?" he still tried to lie to him. "Hahaha.. remember the old saying ~ the more you hate, the more you love.. ~
hahaha!!!" he continued to laugh and tease him. "Why you.." he can't do anything. The boy was right. He does like her.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I promise." He stopped his teasing and went on to business. "Fine. If you do, it will be your head!"
"*gulp* Hai Vegita-san. I promise." He was terrified of him. Chichi and Krillin came back with a doctor. The doctor was a young, fine boy who was Bulma's
cousin. "We're back..* huff * so how is Bulma-chan?" Chichi asked.
"She's fine for now kaa-chan. Vegita-san helped me." Gohan said to his mother. "Well it seems that onechan is perfectly fine now. She just needs some rest
then she'll be fine. There might be a possibility that she would not wake up today or tomorrow. If there is still problems just call me. Ja ne." Doctor Jim said as
he left after he checked up his cousin."He's a pretty good doctor." Krillin said.
"And he's handsome too." Chichi was daydreaming about him. "Not a chance kaa-chan. I knew that doctor since I was still about five. He's only 10 you know!
And for one thing you're too old for Jim!" Gohan stated to her. "Fine Gohan-kun... well we better get going." Chichi said, still dreaming about that doctor guy.
"Yeah. Take care of Bulma-san for us. We're counting on you Vegita-san." Krillin said as they were already out of the door."Ja ne!" Gohan waved at Vegita.
"GOHAN!" Vegita shouted. "Hai?" he asked.
"... Thanks for your help. Ja ne." with that Vegita closed the door and went straight to her room and check on her...
