Chapter four:

"Woman?! Are you in there?" Vegeta yelled through the bathroom door.

"I…I'm in here Vegeta." *Oh God! What am I going to tell him? *

"Well! Get out here and make me something to eat!"

*Act casual*

"Vegeta, can't I take a hot bath in peace!? God! Make yourself a sandwich or something. And plus! You don't like my cooking anyway!" *God, I hope that sounded normal enough. *

She heard him grunt and storm down the hall. She let out a rough sigh. *What will I tell him when he looks at me? *

Bulma walked into the kitchen and saw Vegeta shoveling food into his mouth. She tucked a bit of hair behind her ear and stared warily at him. She took a deep breath…

Vegeta looked up at her and took a double take. Her face and arms were bruised and scratched. She limped to the fridge. Vegeta stood up, knocking the chair over.

"What the fuck happened to you?!"

*Oh shit*

"I…uh…I…um…there was and explosion in the lab." Bulma stuttered.

Vegeta raised and eyebrow.

"I didn't hear any explosion." He stepped behind her, "Are you lying to me?" He whispered in her ear, his voice almost threatening. His deepened voice brought back the memories. She swallowed hard

"No. It was a small explosion." Bulma lied.

"Are you sure?" Vegeta slipped his hand to her hip…

With lightening speed Bulma wrenched his hand off her body and leaped to the other side of the kitchen. Vegeta stood there, stunned. O_O *What the hell was that? * He thought.

"Don…Don't touch me." Bulma stuttered. Tears filled her eyes and she bolted down the hall.

A/N: HAHAHAHAHAHA! What a cliffhanger. You'll love the next chap though. It's even better. I'll probably post it tomorrow or later today. Yes, I already have it written. I just like to be mean. ^_^

For those of you who asked me why Bulma wouldn't tell Veggie, it's because…well… she was just raped. It's too hard for her to talk about it. Ya know? And Li-Chan, does this answer your question about the hole bruised up thing? I hope so. ^_^
