The Vow
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


"Yamcha...Of course I'll marry you!!!" The restaurant customers clapped and cheered as Yamcha slipped the ring on Bulma's finger. When they got home, Vegeta was in the kitchen going through the refrigerator (as usual). He glared at the two figures retreating quietly up the stairs, on their way to Bulma's room.

"So much for sleeping tonight. Maybe I'll just train until he leaves." With that, Vegeta walked out of the kitchen, and toward the gravity chanber, trying not to think of what was happening in Bulma's bedroom. "Damn! What the hell has that Baka woman done to me? I can't get her out of my mind..." Vegeta unleashed a new wave of ki blasts, hoping that they would keep his mind off of the woman, who at this moment was making love to another man in her bedroom. "Damn that woman and her weakling boyfriend!" Vegeta let his eyes wander up to Bulma's bedroom window, where he could make out two shadows on the wall, and much to his distaste, one of them wasnt his. "Ughhh...I cant even get away from her out here. Kakarot! That's it! I'll go spar with Kakarot! That'll keep that blasted woman out of my head." Vegeta flew off in the direction of the Son house, never looking back.

~Bulma's room~

"Yamcha...do you really have to leave? I mean, couldnt you just stay here with me tonight? Please?"

"Sorry babe, I gotta get home, I've got...um something I've gotta get done. Plus, Puar worries, you know that. I promise I'll be back tomorrow. And then we'll start getting things set up for the wedding, I promise. With that, Yamcha pulled on his pants and shoes and left the room. Leaving a heartbroken Bulma behind.

"Yeah, sure, something to do at home. Whatever." Bulma got out of bed, put on a silk nightgown, and cried into her pillow.


When Vegeta got home, he noticed that the weakling's car was gone from the driveway. ::Good, maybe now I can get some sleep.:: His room was directly on the other side of Bulma's and with his saiyan hearing, he was able to hear her sobs through the thin walls that separated their rooms. "Ugh...here we go again. If she doesn't shut up that racket, I'll never get to sleep." Vegeta walked into her room, ready to shut her up, but when he saw her, he forgot everything that he was going to say.

"Woman, what are you crying about this time?" he tried to make his voice sound harsh, but he failed miserably.

"Yamcha left me. He left me again. I was stupid to think that this time was going to be any different." Bulma replied through her sobs.

"Yes, you were, that stupid human doesnt deserve you." It was then that Vegeta saw the ring on Bulma's hand. "So, you're to be married then? I thought you had more sense than that woman." Vegeta asked, his voice full of hate.

"Huh? How did you know that? I haven't told anyone yet." Bulma asked, forgetting about the ring.

"It wasn't very hard for me to guess woman, it's not very often that Women walk around with THOSE on, unless they're planning on getting married." He said, pointing to her ring.

"Oh, I forgot about that, well, arent you going to say congratulations or something?"

"Why should I? Congratulations means you're happy for someone, I AM NOT happy for you. And you arent happy either, I dont know why you insist on telling yourself that you are when it's obvious that you arent." Vegeta said.
"How would you know if I'm happy or not? You dont even know what happiness is. And you sit here preaching to me about it?" Bulma screamed, her voice still wavering from crying.

"If you call happiness being married to a man that won't ever be faithful, then sure you're happy...keep tellling yourself that." Vegeta shot back

"Yamcha was unfaithful to me once! He's changed! He would never do anything to hurt me. Not anymore. He loves me!" Bulma shouted, trying to convince herself, more than Vegeta.

Almost laughing, Vegeta picked her up and flew out the window. "VEGETA!!! Where are we going? You cant do this! Put me down!" Bulma shouted futilly.

"Woman! Shut up! Do you really want me to put you down? But let me remind you that we're over 100 feet in the air." Vegeta shouted back, her voice was hurting his ears.

"No...dont put me down, but at least tell me where we're going." Bulma pleaded, clinging to Vegeta's neck even harder.

"We're going to see whether this human of yours is being faithful or not. Then we'll see if you still want to get married to him."

"Fine, do whatever you want, but Yamcha's going to be at home in bed. Just you wait and see." Bulma replied matter-of-factly.

::Oh yes woman, I know he'll be in bed, but I have a feeling he wont be by himself.:: Vegeta thought to himself, not wanting to say it aloud, just in case he was wrong, and Vegeta didn't take lightly to being proven wrong.


It took them about ten minutes to get to Yamcha's house, and when they did, the lights were out, Yamcha obviously wasn't home.

::Gee, that's funny, he left my house over two hours ago. He should have gotten back by now. Oh well, maybe he had to stop somewhere, I'm sure he'll be back in a few minutes.:: Bulma thought, not wanting Vegeta to know that she was having doubts about her husband-to-be.

Vegeta put Bulma down on Yamcha's front steps, and she opened the door with her key. They walked inside and sat in the dark Living room, awaiting Yamcha's return.

They waited for another hour, and still no Yamcha. Bulma had fallen asleep with her head resting on Vegeta's shoulder, ::Me and my big mouth, if I just hadn't said anything, I could be at home right now, sleeping. But nooooo, I had to bring her here to see her wretched boyfriend who isn't even home!!!:: Vegeta thought to himself. He woke Bulma up. "Come on, let's get outta here. I've got more important things to do than just sit here.

But just as they were about to leave, they heard a key turn in the lock on the front door.
