"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" growled Vegeta as he squeezed Yamcha's fist. Bulma pushed herself out of the way and backed herself up against someone else's car.
"You better stay out of this." Snapped Yamcha.
"Not likely." Growled Vegeta as he brought his other fist up to Yamcha's face. Once contact was made Yamcha was on the ground. Vegeta stood over him for a few seconds before kicking him in the chest. Vegeta then picked up Yamcha and slammed him on the trunk of someone's car in the lot. "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm her boyfriend." Snapped Yamcha, "So, stay the fuck out of this."
"You're Yamcha?" growled Vegeta, "You're supposed to protect her, not beat her up, what the hell is wrong with you." With that Vegeta threw Yamcha clear to the other side of the lot. Vegeta stalked over to where Yamcha had landed and grabbed him by the collar and once more slammed him against someone else's car.
"What the hell are you?" stuttered Yamcha.
"Shut up." growled Vegeta, "If I ever see you near this campus, near her home, near her, EVER again, I will kill you. I care about her, obviously more than you do, and I will not allow you to send that much fear into her ever again. Now, get the fuck out of here." With that Vegeta threw Yamcha onto the ground and watched him scramble to his car and speed away. As soon as he was sure Yamcha was gone, he walked back over to Bulma who was dusting herself off. "Are you ok?" he asked as he took hold of her shoulders.
"Yea." Replied Bulma who was still a little shaky.
"The light didn't fall on you, did it?" asked Vegeta. Bulma shook her head and looked like she wanted to cry. Vegeta moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. "It's ok, you can cry." Bulma buried her head into Vegeta's shoulder and cried. Vegeta just stood there and stroked her hair and let her cry on his shoulder.
After a few minutes of letting her cry, Vegeta broke the silence.
"Do you want to get going home now? I'll fly above your car, to make sure you get there ok." Smiled Vegeta.
"Umm, ok." Bulma smiled lightly, "Would you want to come stay at my parent house for the weekend?"
"Do you think your parents would be ok with that?" questioned Vegeta.
"Yea. I'd really like for you to come. We can work on your math." Bulma smiled weakly.
"I'm not spending the entire weekend working on math." Laughed Vegeta, "But, ok, I'll go. Let me go get some stuff and while we're at it, we should clean up your cuts and bruises." Bulma nodded and turned to walk back to the dorm; she was a little a head of Vegeta. Vegeta quickly made it next to her side, as they walked back up to the building, Vegeta took Bulma's hand in his. They walked into the building holding each other's hand.
When Vegeta and Bulma got back to his dorm the first thing they did was clean up Bulma's wounds. She walked into the bathroom and sat on the counter top. Vegeta got out his first aid kit he had for his wounds.
"Why did he do this?" asked Vegeta as he put sound peroxide on a cotton ball.
"I don't know. It never used to be like this." Bulma responded quietly.
"What changed?" he asked as he started to clean the scrape on her arm.
"I wouldn't sleep with him." Said Bulma as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"He did this to you because you wouldn't mate with him?" asked Vegeta with an astonished look on his face.
"Yea." Whispered Bulma, "He said that if I loved him I would sleep with him, but it just didn't feel right. If I had slept with him none of this would have happened?"
"Are you retarded or something?" said Vegeta as he sweetly wiped the tears off her cheek, "What if you had slept with him, things could be a lot worse. No woman should get hit because she wouldn't mate. On Vegetasei, we mate for life. When two Saiyan's choose each other as their mates, they are bonded and nothing can ever break that apart."
"Really?" smiled Bulma, "That's really sweet."
"When you bond, if something happens to one the other will feel the pain." Said Vegeta, "if one dies, the pain from the broken bond is enough to kill a man. Saiyan's are extremely protective of their mates. The biggest insult to a Saiyan male is to insult their mate."
"That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard." Said Bulma with a sappy tone to her voice, "What are Saiyan women like."
"Well some of them are like Vega. They fight, go on missions, but after a woman bares a child she is to care for it while the male continues to fight. Sometimes, if the male dies on a mission, the woman will train the child, instead of the male. Otherwise, the women will only train women." Said Vegeta, "Well I think you're all cleaned up." then he placed one of Goku's dinosaur Band-Aids on her forehead.
"Thank you Vegeta." smiled Bulma. As the two walked out of the bathroom, Vega and Piccolo walked into the dorm. The first thing Vega noticed was Bulma.
"Bulma! What happened?" panicked Vega, "Was it...?"
"Yea." Whispered Bulma. Vegeta turned his attention to his sister.
"You mean you knew about this?" snapped Vegeta, "and you didn't tell me!"
"Vegeta, don't get up set." Said Bulma, "I didn't want anyone to know." Vegeta just kind of looked at her and then turned back to Vega.
"I thought you were going home this weekend, Bulma?" asked Vega.
"I am, Vegeta's coming with me." said Bulma. Vega gave her brother the "I knew you liked her" look.
"I'm just getting some clothes for the weekend." Said Vegeta as he pulled a bag out of his closet.
"So what are your plans for the weekend?" asked Bulma.
"I don't know." Said Piccolo.
"Vegeta and I are going to work on his math. We're gonna get this stuff down." Smirked Bulma.
"Yea right." Grumbled Vegeta, as he zipped up his bag, "you ready?"
"Yea, let's go." With that Vegeta and Bulma walked out of the dorm and left for the weekend.
"I told you he liked her." Teased Vega to Piccolo.
It was close to 4:30am when Vega rolled over in Piccolo's bed. She had slept in his room for the night. She was worried about how she was going to sneak out and go to her dorm and sneak out, again. Then again, she was comfortable sleeping next to Piccolo with her head on his chest. But she knew she had to get up. Since, Piccolo's arms weren't around her; she easily began to levitate out of the bed. She hovered over the room while collecting her coat and clothes. She quietly opened the door and closed it behind her. Once in the hall she dropped down and started walking to the elevator. As soon as the elevator opened, Goku was standing half-asleep in the door.
"Morning Sunshine." Mumbled Vega.
"I'll meet you there as soon as I can." grumbled Goku.
"Alright, Kakarrot." Said Vega a she got onto the elevator and Goku got off.
Once in her dorm, Vega quickly got her gear together and bolted out the door. Once outside, she took to the sky and flew as fast as she could to meet Goku. The sun was starting to rise once she got there. Goku was already there, waiting for her.
"How did you get here so fast?" asked Vega.
"I was only in my room for a couple minutes before I left."
"Oh, I had to get my gear on and other stuff." Replied Vega.
"Well, do you want to get started?" asked Goku.
"Yea." Said Vega. For the next hour or so, Vega and Goku did their normal warm ups, which included hundreds of push ups and sit ups, and loads of stretching, and then a quick run, just to get the blood moving.
After their warm up, Goku was ready to begin training.
"Ok, first we need to spar. I need to see what your capable of." Said Goku.
"Alright, but if you can beat Vegeta, then I should be an easy kill." Smirked Vega. Vega and Goku took their stance across from each other. Vega waited patiently for Goku to strike. Something she always knew was never to make the first move. It was a sure way to lose. Goku disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind her and moved to strike her from behind but, Vega half-turned from behind her and grabbed Goku's arm and flung him to the front of her. She then jumped and balanced herself on Goku's arm, almost flipping around it, and kneed him in the back of the head, which sent him into the ground.
"You can't get a hit on Vegeta, but you can get one on me." Goku chuckled lightly.
"He taught me that move. I've never used it." Replied Vega. Goku pushed himself off the ground and in the process pushed himself toward Vega and kicked her in the face. Vega flew back at Goku, thus starting the barrage of hit and kicks that would ensue for
After an hour or so of sparing, Goku stopped the fight.
"Ok, we're stopping here." Said Goku; "I'm noticing your reflexes."
"They are slow, aren't they?" sighed Vega.
"At this point, no really, but they would have gotten worse as the fight dragged on." Said Goku.
"So how are we going to fix this, Kakarrot?" asked Vega.
"Well, first we're going to eat and rest for a few. I want you back up to speed before we continue." Said Goku as he popped a capsule in which contained a small cooler.
"Do you always carry one of those?" laughed Vega.
"Only when I train out here." Replied Goku with his stupid grin. Goku tossed Vega a couple sandwiches and a bottle of water. Vega looked at how the sandwich was packaged.
"Kakarrot, did you buy these at a gas station?" asked Vega.
"Yea, how did you know?"
"The sticker on it says Sunoco." Chucked Vega as she opened up her sandwich. Vega sat on the ground while she ate.
About 30 minutes later, Goku and Vega were ready to begin again.
"Ok, this is what's gonna happen. I'm going to attack you, but you can't fight back. No hits, no kicks, nothing. What you are going to do, is dodge every one of my attacks. You can catch and block my strikes, but you cannot retaliate on me."
"Ok." Sighed Vega, "I hope this works."
"Well, I hope you're up to speed, because this is going to be a long day." Smirked Goku.
Hours passed, it was now getting close to 10pm. ChiChi and Piccolo had been pissed off at Vega and Goku all day, since neither one of them had told them where they were going. They were sitting in Piccolo's room discussing the situation at hand.
"I don't have any idea where Goku could be." Seethed ChiChi, "He and I were supposed to go shopping today."
"Did you try calling him at home?" asked Piccolo.
"Yea, I called earlier this after noon. Bardock said he hadn't seen him."
"I don't know where Vega is either. She never gets up before me and to wake up and find her gone is just too odd." Grumbled Piccolo.
"I'll bet they're out together." snapped ChiChi.
"Why would they go do something together and not tell us?" asked Piccolo. ChiChi shot him a look, "You don't think they're...?"
"I don't know what to think? We know they've been gone since early this morning. They've been gone for well over 12 hours now. What do you think?"
"I'm not going to think anything until I talk to Vega." Said Piccolo; "Maybe we should call Bulma."
"I highly doubt they'd be there, but I'll call." Said ChiChi as she picked up the phone and dialed out on her calling card. The phone rang a couple times. Then Bulma answered.
"Hello?" said Bulma.
"Hey Bulma, its ChiChi."
"Oh, Hi ChiChi." Said Bulma, "Vegeta knock it off."
"What's going on?" asked ChiChi.
"Oh nothing, Vegeta keeps throwing pop corn at me." laughed Bulma, "Vegeta, knock it off! Anyhow, what's up?"
"I'm just calling to ask if you've seen Vega or Goku at all today." Asked ChiChi.
"No I haven't, of course I spent most of today showing Vegeta around Capsule Corp. Why, are they missing?" asked Bulma.
"I don't know. They've been gone since early this morning and they're not back yet." Sighed ChiChi.
"Vega and Goku." Bulma said to Vegeta. ChiChi could hear Vegeta snap through the phone.
"What do you mean Vega and Goku are missing?" Said Vegeta.
"Shut up Vegeta, I'll tell you when I get off the phone, AND QUIT THROWING POP CORN AT ME!" snapped Bulma, "I'm sorry ChiChi, I haven't seen them."
"Alright, I was just wondering if maybe you did. You two have a fun weekend."
"Ok, I'll talk to you later." Said Bulma.
"Bye." Said ChiChi as she hung up the phone, "Well, Bulma hasn't seen them."
"Damn it."
"I think something is up with them." Said ChiChi.
"ChiChi, I'm not going to think something like that until I talk to Vega." Said Piccolo, "I trust her."
"I trust Goku, too, but they've been gone for over 12 hours. I don't know what to think anymore. I'm just so mad." Growled ChiChi. Just then the door to the dorm opened and Goku walked in with his eyes half closed and his clothes all tattered and torn, and covered in bruises. "Goku!" shouted ChiChi, "What the hell happened to you, and where the hell have you been?!"
"ChiChi, I'll tell you later. I just want to go to bed right now." Mumbled Goku as he kissed her cheek and crawled into his bed. ChiChi looked at Piccolo with an angry look on her face.
"I'm going to go see if Vega is back." Said Piccolo. ChiChi nodded as Piccolo walked out the door with a small huff. ChiChi filled up a glass of water in the bathroom and threw it on Goku.
"AH! ChiChi what did you do that for?" shouted Goku.
"Where the hell have you been all day?" she shouted back.
"I went home and trained with my dad ok!" he yelled back.
"No you didn't. I called your house, and your dad said he hadn't seen you." Growled ChiChi.
"I trained in the mountains and realized I wasn't getting anywhere and that's when I went home to train with my dad, OK. Look ChiChi, I'm tired, let's just go to sleep." Said Goku.
"I'm going to sleep in my own room. Sleep with out me tonight." Snapped ChiChi as she ran out the door, half in tears. "I can't believe he lied to me." she thought.
At the same time, Piccolo was at Vega's door, he turned the doorknob and walked in and found Vega sitting on the makeshift couch in her pajama's eating a sandwich.
"Hey, sweetie." Vega smiled through her tired eyes.
"Where have you been?" Piccolo coldly replied.
"I, uhh, had to go home for the day." Replied Vega.
"Thanks for telling me." Piccolo snidely replied.
"There was an emergency meeting my father wanted me to attend. I didn't have time to tell anyone. Then I trained with my father after wards." Said Vega.
"Uh Huh." Said Piccolo, "Was Vegeta there?"
"Yea, he was pissed about having to leave Bulma's."
"I see." Piccolo walked over to Vega and quickly kissed her forehead, "I'll see you tomorrow." and then he quickly walked over to the door to leave. Vega quickly got up.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I'm going to sleep in my room." Bitterly replied Piccolo, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"What is your problem?" asked Vega.
"Nothing."
"NO, something is wrong. I want to know what. What did I do?" asked Vega with a frown on her face.
"I'll see you tomorrow." said Piccolo as he tried to walk out the door. Vega grabbed his arm.
"What is your problem?" she snapped.
"You really want to know." Piccolo snapped back.
"Yes, I really want to know."
"You just lied to me." Growled Piccolo, "I know you didn't go home. We talked to Vegeta about a half-hour ago. Bulma didn't say anything about him just getting back or anything. So that's why I'm mad. You and Goku completely disappeared with out a trace for well over 12 hours, then you get back and LIE TO ME!"
"Fine, I didn't go home. There are you happy." Vega yelled back.
"No I'm not." Said Piccolo as he started to walk away.
"What do you want from me, Piccolo?"
"I want the truth. I want to know where you've been." He yelled back.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not telling you."
"Well that's fine. I'll see you tomorrow or something." Grumbled Piccolo.
"Fine." Said Vega as she slammed her door as he walked out. A small tear started to form in Vega's eye as she thought about her spat with Piccolo. "He just wouldn't understand." Just then the handle on the door started to turn and Vega back away and walked back to her bed. ChiChi walked in fuming. "Hey ChiChi." Said Vega starting to sniff.
"Hi." Seethed ChiChi.
"What's wrong?"
"So, what were you and Goku doing today?" ChiChi said venomously.
"You better stay out of this." Snapped Yamcha.
"Not likely." Growled Vegeta as he brought his other fist up to Yamcha's face. Once contact was made Yamcha was on the ground. Vegeta stood over him for a few seconds before kicking him in the chest. Vegeta then picked up Yamcha and slammed him on the trunk of someone's car in the lot. "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm her boyfriend." Snapped Yamcha, "So, stay the fuck out of this."
"You're Yamcha?" growled Vegeta, "You're supposed to protect her, not beat her up, what the hell is wrong with you." With that Vegeta threw Yamcha clear to the other side of the lot. Vegeta stalked over to where Yamcha had landed and grabbed him by the collar and once more slammed him against someone else's car.
"What the hell are you?" stuttered Yamcha.
"Shut up." growled Vegeta, "If I ever see you near this campus, near her home, near her, EVER again, I will kill you. I care about her, obviously more than you do, and I will not allow you to send that much fear into her ever again. Now, get the fuck out of here." With that Vegeta threw Yamcha onto the ground and watched him scramble to his car and speed away. As soon as he was sure Yamcha was gone, he walked back over to Bulma who was dusting herself off. "Are you ok?" he asked as he took hold of her shoulders.
"Yea." Replied Bulma who was still a little shaky.
"The light didn't fall on you, did it?" asked Vegeta. Bulma shook her head and looked like she wanted to cry. Vegeta moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. "It's ok, you can cry." Bulma buried her head into Vegeta's shoulder and cried. Vegeta just stood there and stroked her hair and let her cry on his shoulder.
After a few minutes of letting her cry, Vegeta broke the silence.
"Do you want to get going home now? I'll fly above your car, to make sure you get there ok." Smiled Vegeta.

When Vegeta and Bulma got back to his dorm the first thing they did was clean up Bulma's wounds. She walked into the bathroom and sat on the counter top. Vegeta got out his first aid kit he had for his wounds.
"Why did he do this?" asked Vegeta as he put sound peroxide on a cotton ball.
"I don't know. It never used to be like this." Bulma responded quietly.
"What changed?" he asked as he started to clean the scrape on her arm.
"I wouldn't sleep with him." Said Bulma as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"He did this to you because you wouldn't mate with him?" asked Vegeta with an astonished look on his face.

"I see." Piccolo walked over to Vega and quickly kissed her forehead, "I'll see you tomorrow." and then he quickly walked over to the door to leave. Vega quickly got up.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I'm going to sleep in my room." Bitterly replied Piccolo, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"What is your problem?" asked Vega.
"Nothing."
"NO, something is wrong. I want to know what. What did I do?" asked Vega with a frown on her face.
"I'll see you tomorrow." said Piccolo as he tried to walk out the door. Vega grabbed his arm.
"What is your problem?" she snapped.
"You really want to know." Piccolo snapped back.
"Yes, I really want to know."
"You just lied to me." Growled Piccolo, "I know you didn't go home. We talked to Vegeta about a half-hour ago. Bulma didn't say anything about him just getting back or anything. So that's why I'm mad. You and Goku completely disappeared with out a trace for well over 12 hours, then you get back and LIE TO ME!"
"Fine, I didn't go home. There are you happy." Vega yelled back.
"No I'm not." Said Piccolo as he started to walk away.
"What do you want from me, Piccolo?"
"I want the truth. I want to know where you've been." He yelled back.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not telling you."
"Well that's fine. I'll see you tomorrow or something." Grumbled Piccolo.
"Fine." Said Vega as she slammed her door as he walked out. A small tear started to form in Vega's eye as she thought about her spat with Piccolo. "He just wouldn't understand." Just then the handle on the door started to turn and Vega back away and walked back to her bed. ChiChi walked in fuming. "Hey ChiChi." Said Vega starting to sniff.
"Hi." Seethed ChiChi.
"What's wrong?"
"So, what were you and Goku doing today?" ChiChi said venomously.
