Chapter 3

Part 1

"I'm always here for you..."

Vegita went up to her room and checked on her. She was still sleeping, resting as they call it.
He went closer to her and looked at her for a moment. ~ She's really beautiful when she sleeps.
~ he always thought of those words but still, he doesn't really understand her, much as he
didn't understand himself either. What feelings does he have for her? He didn't know. He decided
to go out and go to his room and think. He'll let her rest. And he'll stop his training for a
while too. He needs to think about his feelings, about her. He left the room and went to his
room. He opened the door and jumped straight to the bed. He was talking to himself, if only
Bulma was there.

"Kuso! Why does this have to happen to her?" He got hysterical. He kept on thinking about that.
He kept on thinking about Yamcha, on what he did to her. He fell asleep while cursing him. If
only he went with her secretly that other day. He woke up on a different place. He started to
wonder around until he saw a familiar figure just ahead of him. He ran closer to the figure,
and saw it was.. Bulma! She was there and was happy to see him. He didn't know it was a dream,
he thought it was real.
"Vegita-kun!" She went to him and hugged him tight.
"Woman... You're.. alive." He hugged her tight too. He never wanted to let her go. He was
satisfied just her being there in his arms.
"What do you.. mean?" she was confused on what Vegita said.
"You had an accident remember? Because of Yamcha?"
"What accident? I don't remember.. Gomen.. Watashi Ikimashou.." he parted from his arms and went
away.
"Bulma? Bulma! Matte!" he just so Bulma going away from him. He fell unto his knees.
"IIE!!!!!!!!!!" he woke up and jumped.
"AHHHHH! Uhh.. It was just.. a dream.." he looked around him and realized that he was back to
his own self, his own room. He just lay down to his bed again and slept. He still thought of that
dream. He really thought it was real.

Weeks had past, Bulma still didn't wake up. Vegita got worried now and called the doctor that
checked her a past few weeks.
"Jim, what's the problem?" he asked Jim.
"I don't know. Onechan should wake up now.." he said back.
"Onechan?" he asked again as he faced him.
"Yeah. She took care of me until now. My parents died so she raised me by herself. I thought of
her as my onechan. She taught me a lot of stuff. So that's why I took medicine and became a
doctor at an early age. Because of onechan." He looked down, not facing Vegita.
"I see." He faced Bulma, and saw that she was pale. ~..My father never did show any affection
towards me..Lucky for you kid, she is there for you.~ Jim began to cry and just gave up.
"I failed onechan. I can't even cure her. I'm a failure from the start." tears were still
dropping from his eyes. The young boy felt sad and wished his parents was there. Vegita looked
at him, seeing that he was really frustrated at himself. He went closer to him and touched his
shoulder. Jim looked at him.
"You know, my otousan never really cared about me as a kid."
"He didn't?" Jim asked.
"No. He never did show any affection towards me. And no one has ever showed this 'love' thing
over me. No one."
"How about your kaachan?"
"Well, when I was born, she died."
"Really? That must have hurt in you."
"No. I was happy that my tousan died. He never did care about me. But kaasan, I don't know."
"Just like me."
"Doushite?"
"I remember onechan told me that papa and mama never really had time for me, and they just left
me for some reason. Then I was just advised that my parents were dead."
"You know, you are very lucky that she is your cousin and that always remember that she will
always be there for you."
"I understand. But... it's just not the same without her now. I want someone to be with."
"If you want, I could be your oneechan." He said to him as Jim looked at him. "Don't worry, you
didn't fail her. You're a very good doctor and believe that you are."
Jim was so happy. He stood up and hugged him. Vegita did the same thing too. (Authors note: If
you think this part is Yaoi, think again! Well it's not and I don't do mushy stuff yet. Call it
brotherly love... not =)
"Oneechan!" he didn't let go of him. Now he had a brother and a sister in his life.
"Surely your onechan will be happy." He said to him. Jim looked up at him and smiled. "Arigatou!
I'll do as you say oneechan!" he said to him. "I better go now. Ja oneechan!" Jim went out of
the room and back to the infirmary. Vegita was still there, wondering what he just did. It wasn't
like him to do that. He got a chair and sat down beside her bed, and held her hand. Her hand was
soft like a feather. He talked to her, even though he knew that she wouldn't respond.
"Bulma-chan, you know Jim, he thought of you as his onechan." He looked at her, as tears were
falling down his cheeks.
"Please.. call my name... Bulma-chan... I want to hear your voice..." he said to her.
"Wake up... please.." he fell asleep again, still holding her hand. After a few hours, Bulma woke
up. She was shocked to see Vegita there, holding her hand.
"Vegita..kun.." she said. She didn't remember what happened. She remembered that she saw him in
her dream. She hugged him tight then she left him there. He suddenly woke up and was so happy
that she was awake.
"Vegita..kun..." she said again.
"It's about time. You've made me worried sick about you, woman." He said to her.
"Why? What happened?" she really didn't remember what happened to her.
"You collapsed then you slept for about a month now. You were so sad that's why you gave up."
"Really? Where's Jim-kun?" she asked again.
"He's in the infirmary. I didn't know that you were his onechan." He had a strange look on his
face.
"Haha.... he really did, I raised him up." She said to him.
"You know, I'm now his oneechan."
"Oh really? How?"
"He missed you, so I said why don't I be your oneechan? He was happy you know." He said to her.
"I see.. you know, I had the strangest dream. You were there, you hugged me tight then you said I
had an accident. I left you but I don't know why." She said. He was shocked, because he had the
same dream. ~ How did that happen? I had the same dream... why? ~
"... I had the same dream too." He said to her.
"Then, that means..."
"Yeah. Both of us were there, the real us." He tried not to look at her eyes. He'll fall if he
did.
"How did that... happen?" she thought and asked.
"Well maybe our souls parted from our bodies. Then we saw each other going to the same
direction."
"I see. Well enough about that. Are you hungry? I'll get you some food." She sat down instead of
lying down. She tried to stand up but Vegita held her in the same position.
"No stay there, I'll get my own food." He told her.
"But you..." she tried again, but Vegita just didn't let her go.
"I told you to stay there, I'll get the food I want on my own. Just rest, you're still weak ok?"
"Hai." She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. She slept again, feeling so tired and weak.
"Sleep tight." He left the room and got his food. He decided to look for Yamcha and pound him up
good. ~ You'll never get away this time..~

Vegita went out of the Capsule Corp. he really did look for that stupid baka. (Author's note:
I'm not calling him baka. Vegita does.) He walked around the city and what luck, he was there,
with his girlfriend though. ~ Perfect time to break his heart, just as he did to Bulma-chan ~ He
ran as fast as he could. Yamcha saw him and he instantly flew up. He couldn't see him any more
but he looked around. His girlfriend was shocked on what is happening. Vegita suddenly appeared
behind him. "Boo. Gotcha, chicken-wuss." He hit Yamcha so bad in the back. He fell to the ground.
Vegita followed him and gave him many punches in the stomach.
"You baka! Aren't you aware that you almost got Bulma killed?!" He continued to punch him.
Yamcha blocked some few punches, but Vegita gave him more.
"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything to her!" He said back.
"Maybe physically you didn't, but inside, you broke her heart! Because of you, she didn't eat,
sleep or do any of her projects! She collapsed to the floor because of you!" He shouted to him.
"What?.. Bulma-chan?" he mumbled to himself. He couldn't take it anymore. Yamcha's guard was
slowly falling. He couldn't block his punches at once.
"She didn't say a word or do anything! She just slept there for a month! Because of you, her
feelings were hurt that's why she gave in! She said a lot of good things about you, and now this
is what you will give to her in return. You betrayed her! All you did was just having a great
time with your new girlfriend. You didn't even think about her welfare! You disgust me!" He
stopped punching him, seeing that he had enough. Yamcha was covered with blood all over his body.
He managed to stand up. He went closer to Vegita and said, "Tell Bulma-chan that.. I'm sorry for
what I've done to her.. I'm really sorry.." He fell down the ground unconscious. Vegita left him
there and went back to the Capsule Corp. ~ Wait 'til she hears what happened now ~ He thought to
himself as he went up to see if she's ok now.

It was already dark outside. The stars were shining brightly. The dark sky showed that it was a
special night. Vegita was still exhausted from what he just did. It was a good exercise for him
though. He went up his room and just stayed there for a while. He was still thinking about what
happened. He lay in his bed and closed his eyes. He didn't hear Bulma go in his room. Bulma sat
down on the edge of the bed. It made Vegita wake up.
"Wh-why are you here?" he asked nervously. "You should stay in bed."
"I'm getting a bit bored at my room so I thought that I should just go walk around for a while."
"I'm gonna ask you again.. why are you here?" he asked, looking at her with his usual icy glare.
"I told you. I was getting bored in my room, so I stopped by your room!" she said again.
"Well, what do you want?"
"I just wanna talk to you. That's all." She muttered.
"If you got a problem, talk to someone else." He turned his back on her.
"But I really want to talk to you. Please hear me out." She begged him. Tears were dropping from
her cheeks. He had to do something before she screams and cry.
"Fine whatever."
"Thanks a lot Vegita-kun. You know, it's been a while since I talked to you. So umm... is
Yamcha-kun doing all right?" she asked him. Vegita almost forgot to give his report to Bulma.
"As a matter of fact, he's not! I gave him a whoppin' just now!" Thinking that Bulma would be
impressed on what he had done, he said it all out. Bulma, therefore, didn't really like what
Vegita just said.
"You did WHAT...!!?" she stood up all of a sudden. Tears started to drop from her cheeks again.
"How could you..."
"What? All I did was to get revenge for you.. uhh.. I mean.. he did hurt you! So I gave him back
the pain you endured!" The small talk began to become a big fight.
"Well I didn't say that you needed to do that! I never did think of it that way! Naze, naze?"
she started crying, knowing that Yamcha is hurt now and she couldn't even give him support.
"I thought you would like that idea! You were the one hurt anyway! He betrayed you! Don't you
know that?" Bulma didn't really know what he was getting to. She didn't even know that Vegita
cared.
"I do! But it was just a stupid argument! Wait... how did you know about our fight?!"
"Because I was hiding in a tree that day and listening to your stupid conversation!" Vegita
suddenly shouted. She didn't know about that.
"Well why did you do it anyway? Why did you even listen to us?" her crystal blue eyes told him
to reveal his secret to her. He gazed into her eyes and he said, "Because I care about you so
much Bulma-chan! Why do you think I do all this?" He covered his mouth. There was a minute of
silence. Bulma was so shocked on what Vegita said.
"Then why do you care about me? You don't have to! Because you're a Saiya-jin! All you care
about is having power! All you care about is..." She got shocked again. Vegita suddenly hugged
her tight. He whispered, "Saija-jins just don't care about having power or getting stronger, we
also care about our mate. And I care about you because I... I Love You." Bulma again got shocked.
She didn't know that he developed feelings towards her. Vegita let go of her and gazed at her.
He slowly leaned and kissed her passionately. She gladly accepted his kiss. She thought that
Vegita is the right man for her, just for him being there for her. But she never realized that
Vegita could be so loving and caring to anyone. As they parted, he looked into her eyes and
said, "You know I will do anything for you and I won't let anyone hurt you, not even your
friends can."
"Really? You'll do that for me?" she tried to play along.
"Yeah! No excuses!" he said back. The two of them laughed.
"I'm sorry if I screamed at you." Bulma felt so awful when she screamed at him.
"That's ok. I don't mind." They talked more until Bulma looked at the wall clock and saw that
it was already 12:00 a.m.
"I have to go Vegita, it's getting late." She stood up and walked to the door.
"Oyasumi Nasai Bulma-chan." He smiled at her as he said that.
"Anata ne." She said as she opened the door and left.
Vegita was thinking about what he just did. Was it worth it? Was Bulma happy? Those thoughts
repeated in his head. "I should just rest." He muttered as he closed his eyes and slept.
