Sharing the Same Tears
By Mynia

Part 4


Gentle strokes of light danced around me, making my hair glow a light shade of cerulean. Soon it'll be the beginning of a new life, and the ending of the old. Was it really worth it? To change my entire life around just because of a mere phrase? What about Goku? Chi Chi? And even Yamcha. Hmm. I can always come visit.

Vegeta. I was kidding myself the whole time. Blindly thinking that that man could ever love me. Ha! What a joke! Miss Bulma Briefs, President of Capsule Corporation, Head Over Heals for Mr Fraud. Well I'm not going to let this go on. I'll build a new life. A better life. For me, and for Trunks.

"We interrupt this program for a special news report…" the TV rambled on as Chi Chi set the table for the day's meal. "Earlier last night, Flight 294, of the Chikyuu Airlines to Florida, suffered a horrific fate when the plane crashed somewhere near border of Southern Alaska. 155 people were aboard the aircraft when it ascended from the ground no more than 24 hours ago. 24 bodies were found dead, 64 seriously injured and 15 missing. Along the missing were Miss Bulma Briefs, the current president of Capsule Corporation. Police are still looking for the missing….."

"Bulma…" tears ran down her face. "I told you not to go! I told you!" she shouted at the TV. "Now look what happened…" she covered her face with her hands and sat down. This couldn't be happening. Not to Bulma. Not our Bulma Briefs. She has to alive. She just has to.

~*~

Vegeta flew across the sky. He could feel her ki. It was so small. Any less and he could swear that she was gone. "How could I have let this happen? To my own mate and offspring?! The weakling's right. I was so careless." He cursed at himself, the feeling of guilt piercing itself into his sanity. "Dammit woman, look what your damned feelings have gotten you into!"

He could hear loud wails coming from a distance now. "Trunks!" he shouted, speeding up. Then he saw her, lying on the damp mud-spattered ground. Her body, limp and stained with gruesome blood marks. He picked up baby Trunks and cradled him gently. Turning his attention back to his mate, he took her hand and turned it around in his palms. She was so cold. Pale and lifeless. He did this to her. "I'm a monster," He whimpered out loud.

Vegeta drew his mate close to him and held her. He powered up a little and prayed to dear God that his body heat would keep his family alive.

The next day, at the hospital…

Even opening my eyes was a painful experience, I found out the hard way. What happened? Where am I? I tried to sit up, but found it too agonizing. I turned my head to see someone sitting next to my bed, resting their head on the wall. "Vegeta…?" my voice came out in a whisper.

"Woman?" I heard him reply. "You're awake," he said so very softly, which surprised me.

I looked around. "Why am I in a hospital?" Then I remembered. "Trunks! Where's my baby?!"

"He's fine woman, you're lucky I got to you so soon. Otherwise…" he stopped there.

"Thank you," I managed to say.

"Hmm."

"Woman...Bulma, after you're free to go, I want you to come back home with me," he said cautiously.

"Vegeta…" he cut me off.

"I should've known better. When that idiot Yamcha had thrown you away, I should've learnt from his errors, it was unforgivable for me to do it too. But…"

"Vegeta no…" he cut me off again.

"Just hear me out woman. Please! Please…" It was funny seeing the Great Prince of Saiya-jins plead. It must be hard for him. So I gave in and nodded.

"I was angry and I made a stupid mistake. I'm sorry, there's no amount of words that could say just how sorry I am. I don't want to loose you. I don't want to loose Trunks. I know how I treated you was wrong. And I know don't deserve a second chance. But if I was to ever… loose you..." he choked over his words. "I'd give up being a Super Saiya-jin for you woman… So Bulma please, if there's any kindness left in your heart at all…" he trailed off.

I sat there listening to all this. Stunned. This was Vegeta, on his knees. Pouring out everything I've wanted to hear from the beginning. A tear rolled down my cheek and I wiped it away with my sleeve.

"Are you upset?" Vegeta said jumping to his feet, a worried look on his face. I couldn't help but smile light-heartedly.

"Come here," I whispered, tapping the side of my bed. He hesitated but stepped forward none the less. His eyes beg for compassion. I gently pulled him closer and slowly touched my lips with his.

This was my life, how it was and how it will always be.

I share your tears,
As you do mine;
Bad times may come,
But they'll soon walk by.

These memories I have,
When you are by my side;
Are my most treasured possessions,
Even more than my pride.

You are my true love,
And that'll never change;
You are my greatest weakness,
As you are my strength.

The End
