Summary: An old friend of Vegeta comes to earth to kill him. Vegeta's afraid that his friend will find out about Bulma and their children.

Chapter 7: Kidnap in the Name of Love

Bulma was scooping more ice ream into Trunks' bowl when someone came up behind her and blindfolded her. "What?" She reached up to pull if off but the man grabbed her hands. He tied them up behind her back. Before Bulma could scream the man taped her mouth shut. Her feet left the ground as the man threw her on his shoulder. She knew she was being carried inside of Capsule Corp. by the smells and sounds coming from around her. Minutes later her captor threw her on a bed. The birthday girl was stun. "This can't be happening. I'm going to be raped on my birthday," she thought. She heard her captor walk to the bed after she heard the door being lock. She closed her eyes telling herself she must be dreaming--worst, a nightmare.

"Bulma," the man said softly so not to startle the blue hair wonder on the bed. He bent over and took off the duck tape and the black silk scarf. Blue eyes open seething with relief then with anger.

"Yamcha! How dare you? Untie me right this minute. I demand to know what you thought you were doing? I thought you were some strange man who was going to rape me. Why are you looking at me like that? Stop it! Yamcha!!! Get you ass over here and untie me. After you untie me you can tell me what the fuck you thought you would accomplish with kidnapping me at my birthday party. Better yet, tell me while you untie!" The angry Bulma turn her back to Yamcha waiting for him to untie her. "Yamcha! Now!"

"No, it would--"

"No? No? What do you mean 'no'? There's no 'no' in untying me. It's a 'yes'. Yes you will untie me," she yelled at him.

"Oh yeah. There's going to be a lot of 'yeses' coming from those beautiful tips of yours. You're going to shout 'Yes, Yamcha' so loud the earth will shake."

Bulma rolled her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to do something I should have done a long time ago."

"And what's that?"

"Make you mine."

Bulma yelp. "No you're NOT! Do you really thing I'll go back to you? After what you did? No way."

"What I did?" Yamcha was angry now. The little and happy mood was gone. It was replaced with rage. "I didn't do anything! You're the one who cheated on me. I loved you since we were kids! Did that count? Nooo, it didn't." Yamcha got even angrier. He remembered when a man, a saiyan, came who swept Bulma off of her feet, got her pregnant, then married her. He remembered his fear of the man, he jealous. He remembered acting stupid around Bulma to get her attention. He tried to picture the man now. Then suddenly images and conversations came to his mind. Vegeta. Prince Vegeta. Prince of the Saiyans. Vegeta, father to Trunks and Bra. "Oh, shit! Vegeta's going to kill me when he finds out." Then another image came. One of Vegeta telling him to take care of Bulma while he was gone fighting Zack. Remember Vegeta telling him he would kill him if he touches his wife.

"Vegeta? Who's Vegeta?"

**********************************************************************************************************************************************

Zack landed in a slimy pond. Anna screamed as she tried to get out of the water. "Anna stop it, now!" Anna stopped screaming once she got out.

"Where are we?"

"Who should I know? We were kicked miles away."

"Let's go back there to that round building, the Capsoul Crop. Maybe someone there can help us." Zack took to the air.

"Zack shouldn't we get change first?"

Zack nodded. "Let's stop at that island down there."

**********************************************************************************************************************************************

Mommy! I thing I left it here." Young Marron Chestnut opened her closet door. She looked under the piles of toys and clothing. There it was.

"Did you find it?"

"Yeah Mommy. Bulma is going to love it." Marron pulled out her present for Bulma Briefs. Marron had spent several months making and sewing a blanket for Bulma. She was in the Sewing Club for two years and had been sewing many things for all of her friends and family. The blanket was made from many different shades of blue. In the middle of the blanket was a large circle. That shade of blue was the exact shade of blue of Bulma's hair. Trunks had taken a lock of hair and given it to her at her request. "Mommy--"

"Shh!!! Marron stay here. Someone's coming." 18 ran to the front of the house. A tall man landed in the front of the island. She watched him closely.

"What say you? Think anyone is home?"

"Yes, and she's watching us," said a woman's voice from the man. "Android 18, isn't it? Why don't you come out?"

18 came out of her hiding place. "Who are you? What do you want?"

A man's voice came out this time. "We're just looking for a friend. His name is Vegeta. Have you seen him?"

"I don't know this Vegeta person. Now leave."

"Zack, brother dear, I can feel her uncertainly. Maybe she once knew him. She may be useful to us. Should we bring her to our side to help?"

"Shut up! Let me do all of the talking. Now, Android 18, you've got a daughter right?"

"Don't deny it, we read minds. Her name is Marron. Blonde hair, blue eyes."

"I told you to be quiet. My friend Vegeta, I want dead. He likes to kill. Blood thirsty, especially for children. Blondes are usually the first to die. You see blonde hair is rare on his planet. Anyway, you got to help us find him. We are only doing this to help you. Will you help us?" While he talked, Anna mentally dipped her head into the Android, forcing images into her head. Anna also put suggestions with the images.

18 felt Anna float around her head putting the images and words into it. But she couldn't do anything to stop it. Something click, and she knew she was being taken over. "I'll help you, she was forced to say.

"Good, good, good. Now my new friend, Android 18, would your lovely home on this small island have clothes for me?"

"No, sir. My husband and the old man are too short for any of their clothing to fit you."

"Oh, well. Do you know this dome place called Capsoul Crop?"

"Yes, I was there earlier today."

"Android 18, can you feel me inside your head?" Anna asked

"Of course I can. An android isn't all human."

"You're the woman at the mall!" she exclaim as they flew to Capsule Corp.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************

Marron stared out the window. She watched her mother leave with the strange man. She had overheard her mother and knew something was wrong. The five year old ran to the phone and dial Bulma's house. A minute later a voice came on the phone. "Hello, Capsule Corporation, Bulma Briefs speaking."

"Bulma," Marron said in her squeaky voice of hers. "Bulma something's wrong with Mommy!"

"Calm down, Marron. Where's your mother?"

"She left with a stranger. They're going to your house. That guy is evil, Bulma. He had two different voices."

"Two different voices?"

"Yeah."

Marron heard noises in the background. She noticed it was Yamcha speaking to Bulma saying, "Let me talk to little Marron. I think I know who this guy is. Vegeta told me about him."

"Who is Vegeta?" Marron heard Bulma yell at him.

"Just give me the phone. Damn it, Bulma stop being so stubborn.

"Fine take the phone," she told Yamcha. "Marron, sweetie, Yamcha wants to talk to you."

"Kay."

"Marron, can you describe the man to me? Please I need to know what he looks like."

"He was tall, taller than my daddy. He had yellow hair. I like his long coat. There was a big dragon picture on the black and when he moved, it moved around."

"Do you know his name?"

"Umm, I think its Mack."

"That's close enough Marron, you stay there. I'm sending Bulma and the baby, ChiChi, Pan, and Videl. So just stay there. We are going to help your mother, okay?"

"Okay. Bye Yamcha!"

**********************************************************************************************************************************************

Bulma stared at Yamcha. She tapped her right foot in anger. "What's going on?"

Yamcha stared at her. "18 is taking a man here who wants to kill Vegeta. If the Zack guy finds out what you mean to Vegeta, he would most likely kill you."

"You keep on mentioning this Vegetable character. I want to know who he is right now!"

"Bulma, I can't tell you. Vegeta didn't want anyone to remember him. He doesn't want anyone to give away who you are to them. He loves you so much he's willing to gave you up just to keep you safe."

"This Vegeta loves me? And I love him?"

"I guess. I believe you? Yamcha, you were planning to kidnapped me!"

Yamcha flinch. Vegeta is going to kill me, he thought. "When Vegeta comes back, you won't tell him will you? Let's keep this little thing between us. And plus when I was going to kidnap you, I didn't remember you were married to Vegeta!"

"What? I'm married to this mystery Vegetable? Bulma thought about this. It would explain why she's dreaming of a man, who's Trunks and Bra's father, and many other unexplainable things like her mother.

Flashback

"Bulma, dear, you haven't seen that handsome husband of yours, have you? Veggie promised me last week to help carry some of your presents out. I don't know what could have happened to him."

"My husband? I don't have one, Mom."

"Of course you don't," Mrs. Briefs smiled at her. "But you should get marry. How about that sweet, nice man over there, Goku?"

"Goku's married to ChiChi, the woman right there, and have two sons and a granddaughter," Bulma pointed out.

"Do you want some coffee, dear? I'll just go and get it."

End of Flashback

Bulma looked around in a dazed. "Okay, I'll go. I'll just go tell everyone needs to get home. " Bulma left the base ball player, muttering about how hard it was to make people leave a party.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************

Miria Trunks knocked on the door to room B21. The door was pulled open. "Trunks? What are you doing?"

"I could ask you the same thing. What's going on? Why did you make everyone forget you?" Trunks crossed his arms and glared at his father, looking exactly like it, waiting for Vegeta's answer.

AN: I know this is probably the shortest chapter in Mind Games but this isn't going how I wanted it to go. I've kind of got the big fight scene in my mind but I'm not near it yet to write it. Please review, it helps to make me write quicker. *Hint Hint*
