After I got such good reviews on the last chap, I couldn't make you wait too long. ;) Anywayz, don't worry, This story isn't going anywhere near the Goku/Bulma pairing, regardless of how the last chapter made it look...HOWEVER...If you're looking for a Goku/Bulma fic, I'm writing one called "Heroes"! Ok Ok, so it was a selfish plug on my part...How about this, if you're looking for a good Goku/Bulma fic, check out Nekoni's "We forgot about Bulma." She's got serious talent...hehehe..Ok, enough chit chat, ON WITH THE FIC!!!


Disclaimer: you'd think after this long, people would get the point....


Last time on "THE VOW"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



She turned around quickly to see what the problem was, and find it she did. Goku looked as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head, his mouth hanging open a full foot and a half, and he licked his lips unconsciously. Vegeta on the other hand jumped about 4 feet into the air before coming to a hard landing on his bottom. He rubbed his sore backside absently, all the while never taking his eyes off the woman in front of him.

"Woman...I" Was all he managed to choke out before Goku punched him in the side.
"Shhhhhh....I'm trying to remember this man, I don't get these "perks" at home ya know." So the two men went back to oogling the woman in front of them.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bulma blushed lightly as she looked at the two men that stood before her. They had begun to regain their composure, but only barely. Goku had closed his mouth, but his eyes were still wide, and his face was still beet red. Vegeta had gotten up from the floor, but he still stared at her as if she were an alien. *How fitting, two aliens looking at me like I'm the alien.* she thought to herself.

"Ok, let's try this again, and I want some words this time. HOW DO I LOOK?" She asked them, a bit more demandingly this time.

"Um, you look yummy...I mean, um, you look good Bulma." Goku replied hastily, as was his nature. Casting a sideward glance at Vegeta as he said it. *Well, I can definately see why they get together....* He thought to himself.

"Well woman, if your goal was to show as much skin as possible without being completely naked, then you've definately succeded." Vegeta answered her, looking her up and down with a rather criticizing glare, as if sizing her up for something.

"Well, I'm glad you like it. I figure it outta shock the living hell outta Yamcha." Bulma said with a small laugh.

"Bulma, you had better get going now, otherwise me and Vegeta are never gonna get any sparring done, if ya catch my drift." Goku said, forcing himself to look away from her. "Do me a favor though, tell Yamcha I said hi, ok?"

"Ok Goku, I will, you guys have fun tonight, but do me a favor, no sparring in the house, for that matter, no sparring anywhere NEAR the house, got that? Oh, and Vegeta, don't wait up for me." She said with a wink as she turned to walk out the door, seemingly unaware of the two pairs of eyes trained on her backside as she walked out the door.

"Man Vegeta, how can you stand to live with her when she wears stuff like that? I think I would've gone crazy by now." Goku stated honestly.

"Self control and lots of training." Was all he said before he walked through the kitchen door, and towards the back yard.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


When Bulma got there, the slight nervouseness that she had felt before returned full blast. *Ok Bulma, get a grip here, this is just Yamcha we're talking about here, it's not like it's Vegeta or anything.* She thought to herself before starting the long walk up the steps in front of the Hotel.

She walked into the posh interior of the hotel, and took the elevator up to the top floor where the Starlight club was. She checked her hair in the long mirror inside the elevator, and convinced that she looked the best she was going to, she walked from the elevator, and into the semi-crowded ball room.

She spotted Yamcha sitting a few tables away from the door, looking at his hands as if he was deep in thought. *Yamcha.....* She let her thoughts trail off as she started to walk towards him. She placed a small white hand on top of his large tan ones, and smiled at him when he looked up at her. Then she had to resist the urge to laugh, as all of the color drained from his face, and his eyes looked very similar to Goku's, only these weren't the eyes of an innocent friend, these were the eyes of a hungry man, and as Goku had said before, she looked yummy. And for the first time, Bulma had to admit to herself, that's exactly what she wanted.

"WOW! You look...incredible! Man, I had forgotten what a sight you are when you dress up babe. Sit down, tell me how you've been, what kinda trouble have you been into, that sorta thing."

"Well, I haven't gotten into any touble lately, and you see, that's precisely the problem." She said, as she leaned closer to him.

"Um, I'm not exacty following you Bulma..." Yamcha said, his face a mask of confusion.

"I've got a proposition for you Yamcha...My bed's been awful cold lately if you follow me, and eventhough I doubt that yours has been, I'd like to offer you a spot in mine, no strings attached, just pure, sweet, casual sex. You can take it or leave it Yamcha, but I warn you, That's as close to a relationship as you're going to be gettting to me, for now at least. So, are you in, or are you out?" She asked him, enjoying the shocked look that crossed his face as he listened to her.

"You just want to sleep with me? That's it? I mean, that's awesome, don't get me wrong, but I was hoping to really work it out this time, you know. BUt if that's what it takes for me to be around you, then I'll do it babe, when do we start." Came his swift reply.

"You can start tonight, but for the meantime, I'm starving, and I need a drink, A BIG ONE." She told him politely, but her brain had kicked into overtime.
*Good one Bulma, take one look at him, and jump right back into bed with him, go ahead, it's not like there's anyone else right now anyway.* She told herself, but she only half believed it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Vegeta and Goku let themselves drop slowly back down to earth. Vegeta had been particuarly wound up about something, and he had taken his frustrations out rather well on Goku.

"Hey Vegeta, something wrong? You've been kinda cranky tonight, well, more cranky than usual." Goku said as he rubbed a cramp out of his shoulder.

"It's none of your concern Kakarot, that I assure you." Vegeta shot back, the irritaion clear in his deep voice.

"Well, since I'm the one who's getting the living hell beat outta me, I'd pretty much say it IS my problem." Goku pressed on, as he lay back on the grass to rest his back.

"That woman kakarot, she puzzles me. She says one thing one minute, then she goes and completely contradicts herself then next, but she doesn't even seem to care. She knows what her little outfits do to me, and yet she still runs back to that human." Vegeta spat the last word out as if it were diseased.

"Bulma's lonely Vegeta, she doesn't have the company that she used to have. The gang's all been too busy to see her lately, Yamcha's just about all she has left. But, I do have to admit, I don't particuarly like the way he treats her, but Bulma's a big girl, she knows where to draw the line, Vegeta, and I pretty well know when something bad's going to happen to her for some reason, I guess it's because besides ChiChi and Gohan, she's the only family I've got."Goku rested his hands behind his head, and looked up to see the stars.

"I don't care what that woman does, like you said, she can take care of herself, and even if she couldn't, it still wouldn't be any of my business, correct?" Vegeta asked back, as if looking for reassurance.

"Yeah Vegeta,that's good, because then you won't mind the fact that Bulma just pulled up...Or the fact that Yamcha's with her." Goku said as he stood up. HE glanced at vegeta who had for just a moment, let a look of shock play over his features before replacing his traditional stony glare "You just wait here, I'll go make sure everything's ok." Goku told him, before making his way to the house.

"Hey, Bulma, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked her just as she and Yamcha got to the steps....
