Disclaimer: Ya know, if I owned Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo would be the main character (Just 'cuz he's my favorite^.~) and He and Vegeta would have to walk around in Speedos, or better yet, naked!!! ^.^ And… we would see Vegeta and Bulma 'get it on,' and I wouldn't have let FUNimation edit the fuck out of it like they did for us American audience… Oh… only if I did own it… but, I don't… ~.~
Authors notes: Hey there! The "F" Word is used a lot in this chapter, just so you know, and here we'll learn a little bit about why Bulma is the way she is. This is also the darkest chapter I've written so far, and there will be many dark twists in the storyline much later too. What is it that Bulma's holding back form Vegeta? Here we'll learn a little piece of that puzzle. Also, MAJOR Yamacha bashing, for those of you who hate him, this is the chapter for you!!! (Myself? I'm actually pretty neutral on the whole Yamacha thing, so I don't hate him, but I don't love him either…) Enjoy!!!

Chapter 11: A Fucking Asshole, and a Regretful Promise
"Yamacha?" Vegeta asked, "What about him?"
"He… He's coming this way, he probably followed us." Bulma frowned, "That fucking asshole!"
"It's alright, I'll take care of him, don't worry…" Vegeta went up to his friend and put his arm around her, "I won't let him hurt you any more. I promise, I'll make him leave…"
"No… That… That won't be necessary." Bulma said. "I'll meet him myself, and I'll go tell him go fuck off."
"Are you sure?" Vegeta asked her.
"Yeah, I'm sure, I want you to go and wait for me in the Capsule house, is that okay, if anything gets too out of hand, you can come out and protect me. How does that sound?"
"Okay, but, you're sure you'll be okay? I'm more then willing to kill his ass right now you know…" Vegeta said.
"NO! No… Vegeta, promise me that you'll never kill him… I… I-I love him too much to let him die. I know that that sounds crazy after what he did to me and all, but, please, promise me, promise me that you won't…" She looked at him with pleading eyes.
"I… I promise you then… though… it would really be nice if you would let me…" Vegeta smiled at her, letting her know that he was teasing her. His hand went up and pulled a loose strand of aqua hair out of her face. "After all, it would be my duty to kill all those that dare to hurt my charge…"
She smiled, "Go now, he's coming this way…" Vegeta nodded and left her.
~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta walked inside of the capsule house, and was greeted with the smell of food being cooked.
"Hey Vegeta," Chi Chi cheerfully said, "Where's Bulma?"
"Outside," He said as he sat down in front of the window, "The fucker head, Yamacha is coming our way, and Bulma wants to deal with this by herself."
"I hate that asshole!" Kakarott said angrily, "He-He's not nice to her at all!"
"Yeah!" Chi Chi stepped in and exclaimed. "Yeah, one time, he hit her in the eye, and it was all bruised up and stuff. She said that it was from sparring, but I know that he did it."
By this time, Vegeta was actually interested in what the two children had to say. "What else has he done to her?"
"Lot's of stuff," Kakarott said, "You see, Bulma's one of my best friends, so It's like I know when she's trying to be all happy when we know that she's not and stuff. It's like she doesn't want people to be sad because she's sad. But, I don't know why she's sad."
"Yeah," Chi Chi interrupted, "She told me once that she doesn't want to see anyone hurt, and sad and stuff, so she said that sometimes you have to pretend to be happy even if your not…"
Kakarott then said, "Yeah, I think that's why she dated Yamacha, 'cuz she was sad, and she wanted to have someone, you know? He's nice and stuff, but then, when they're alone, he not nice anymore."
"Yeah… I sometimes heard Yamacha yelling at her, he was always saying something like, 'why won't you put out' and stuff like that." Chi Chi said. "I don't know what that means though…" Vegeta knew what it meant, that fucking asshole!
"Shhhh," Vegeta silenced the children, "That fuck nut's here…"
~*~*~*~*~
Bulma stood about 30 feet from the capsule house, awaiting the arrival of her ex. She could see him up in the sky, flying towards her. He spotted her and landed in front of her.
"Hey babe…" Yamacha said to her.
"Hey…" Bulma said back. They were quiet for a while, one not knowing what to say to the other, then Bulma spoke up. "Yamacha… what the fuck are you doing here?"
"Hey now! Is that any way to greet your boyfriend?" Yamacha said, annoyed.
"Yeah, well, you and I are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. Don't you remember yesterday? I have a new boyfriend now. Why the fuck are you here? All you do is hit me and fuck around on me, why the fuck should I stay with you?" Bulma said in her most bitchest, meanest voice she could muster up, except inside, she was being torn apart… she loved him… even thought he beat her, and cheated on her, and all that… it was like a part of her made her feel like she deserved it, and that she couldn't get any better then what Yamacha offered her…
And Yamacha wasn't having any of that, but he kept his cool… for the most part. "C'mon, Bulma, I know you love me, and I love you, we were meant to be together! C'mon, I made a mistake, and I'm sorry, please… would you forgive me…?"
Bulma wanted to… but she knew she couldn't… She had so many things she had to do… like get revenge on what 'he' did to her… "Yamacha… I-I want to… but I can't! You-you've done to much to me… I have to move on with my life… We… we can't be together anymore…" She said to him as she fought back the tears.
"Goddammit Bulma!" Yamacha said in that tone of voice Bulma had learned to grow afraid of… The tone he got when he was angry with her… like when he wanted to have sex, and she said no, saying that she wanted to stay a virgin until she was Mated. He would get so mad at her, he would scream at her and smack her, yelling at her, telling her that she wouldn't be able to Mate with anyone other then him anyway, so she should just make him happy and fuck him. He… he was… he was so much stronger then her… and his fist would come crashing down on her… Tears started to come gushing out of her eyes… One time… one time he tried to take it from her… but, some how… she was able to get away before… before he took that part of her away… And so much had been taken away already… she wouldn't be able to live with herself if that was taken away too…
"P-please… Yamacha… stop…" She said in a tiny voice as she backed away from him. That voice she would get when she became scared of him… that voice… so small and tiny, soft… like… like a pleading child… Just liked 'he' liked her to do. Plead and beg like a child…
He raised his arm…
Please… not again…An opened palm…
If you loved me, you would do this for me…
… And it came crashing down…
But… I do love you… Yamacha…
A loud, earth shattering smack echoed throughout the savannah as Bulma cried out in her pain, her hand to her cheek, as she fell to the ground.
~*~*~*~*~
"MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Vegeta flew out of the Capsule house, and kicked Yamacha upside to head with such speed that Yamacha didn't even know what hit him. "You are SOOOO Mother fucking dead!" Vegeta had never been so enraged in his life. Sure, there were times where he wanted to go up the Frieza and kill him, and there were times where he was pissed off enough to accidentally kill a couple of elites, but… he had never felt like this… His Ki had gone up ten fold. He was seriously going to kill Yamacha… No one… And I mean NO ONE hurts Bulma!!! He went over to him and kicked him as hard as he could in the stomach. He saw Yamacha cough up a little blood, and this seemed to satisfy Vegeta a little.
"Vegeta! No! You promised!" He heard Bulma yell. Vegeta turned around to see Bulma on her on her knees; her cheek was all red with the outline of Yamacha's hand. Chi Chi was next to Bulma, helping here up, and Kakarott was over more towards Vegeta, with this power poll in an attack stance.
"But he hit you!" Vegeta said furiously. Why was she with this loser who beat the holy hell out of her? Why would she do this to herself? Why? Why did she fall in love with this fucking asshole?!? Why? Why? Why? Why when…when… why, when I'm in love with you… when I would give my whole existence for you… why? Why? I've love you… ever since we were kids… I… just didn't know that it was love back then…
Then, suddenly, as if out of nowhere, Vegeta heft the worst pain he had ever felt in his groin. "FUCK!!!" Vegeta called out in pain as he felt to the ground, holding his crotch. "Son-of-a-bitch!!!" Yamacha had kicked him in the groin when his back was turned. Suddenly, Vegeta remembered something from his youth… on the day he met Bulma, he and his father sparred, and his father beat him, he told him, "Don't let your anger and hate blind you in battle, it will be your undoing…" Fuck… why did his father always have to be right? If he hadn't let his emotions get the better of him, then this probably wouldn't have happened…
"Motherfucker!" Yamacha stood over him and spit some of the blood in his mouth on him, "That's what you get!" He looked over at Bulma, "Shit, Bulma! Why the fuck are you with this short motherfucker, hmm? You really are a slut! So, did you fuck him? Did you give this midget motherfucker your pussy, when you wouldn't even give me a look?"
"Shut the fuck up, Yamacha!" Kakarott said to him, "Or I'll kill you!"
"Yeah… go for it little man!" Yamacha took something out of his jacket pocket, "You won't be doing jack shit to me as long as I have this!" He showed them all what it was… He had a Dragon Ball in his hand.
"The 4 star ball!" Chi Chi exclaimed.
"Give me the Dragon Ball, Yamacha!" Bulma said in as firm a voice that the she could gather, which wasn't very good, since she was terrified of him.
"Ummm… Lemme think, ah, NO!" Yamacha smirked. "I don't know why, but I know your searching for these little guys, but I got the impression that it was important. I was going to be nice and let you have it, after we made up and all, but I see that that isn't going to happen."
Vegeta struggled to get up, that motherfucker got him pretty good in the balls.
"… But, I'll tell you what, Bulma, I'll give you the Dragon Ball, if you do something for me."
Bulma winced, "What is it, Yamacha…?"
"You have to come with me, you and I need to have a little talk. I'm not ready to throw this whole relationship away because you're on the rag and decided to be a bitch. Sure, I made a couple of mistakes, but, lets face it Bulma, most of the problems in our relationship is your fault. I love you Bulma, and I'm not going to give up on us as easily as you're willing to. All I'm asking for is tonight, just to talk… that's all. What do you say?" Yamacha stood there with his arms crossed.
Bulma sat on her knees… She knew what he wanted… He wanted her to have sex with him… sex in exchange for the Dragon Ball… She felt absolutely sick to her stomach…
"Well… I'll tell you what I'm gonna say to that…" Vegeta stood in his classic battle stance, with his palm facing Yamacha, readying a Ki blast. "I'm gonna say that I'm gonna kill you…" Vegeta's tone was murderous. He started to power up his Ki blast.
"Vegeta! NO!" Bulma cried out.
"… Vegeta…?" Yamacha said out loud. Where had he heard that name? Then it occurred to him… "Vegeta? Vegeta no Ouji? Of the House of Vegeta?" He began to laugh hysterically, "You! You, the prince of all Saiyans!?! What a fucking joke! You're too fucking short to be the Prince, you fucking Midget!!!"
"Believe it!" Kakarott stepped in, "He is our prince!"
"Yeah!" Chi Chi Said, "He's also the arranged Mate of Bulma's!"
Yamacha just starred at them, and began laughing again, "Bulma! The arranged Mate of the Saiyan Prince, what a crock of shit!" He just started laughing, "Now, that I find hard to believe! A freaky blue haired slut like Bulma is arranged to be the Mate of the Prince of all Saiyans!"
"Believe it, motherfucker." Vegeta said again. He started to power up again…
"Vegeta! You promised!" Bulma sobbed.
"Bulma! Please! This person beats you, calls you a slut, and wants to rape you! And you still don't want me to kill him!!!" Vegeta was outraged.
"Please… Vegeta… don't…." She started sobbing…
"I have to kill him Bulma… We don't have much of a choice! He knows who I am! If he leaks this information, then we're fucked!" Vegeta stared to power up again.
Bulma continued to cry. Every tear, every sob tore at his heart… He… Why!?! Why!?! MOTHERFUCKER!!! Why him? Why this piece of shit asshole who didn't deserve to live!?! Why did she choose to love Yamacha instead of him!?!
Love… Love is strange…Yes… it is…
Vegeta lowered his palm.
"That's what I though, you ugly ass motherfucking faggot." Yamacha said vehemently.
Vegeta starred daggers at him, "I'm not a faggot. Bulma is not a slut. She is also not a freak. She is the most beautiful, intelligent person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And why she chose to date you, and have feelings for you? I'll never know… But I know one thing; I came this close to breaking my promise to her." And with that, Vegeta, faster then the speed of light, came behind Yamacha's back, and struck him behind the head, rendering him unconscious. "Kakarott…" Vegeta's voice was dangerously low, "I want you to find some rope, also, if you can, find a Ki damping collar. Kakarott nodded and did as he was told.
Chi Chi comforted Bulma, who was sobbing uncontrollably. But, it was weird; it was like more things were bothering her than what was going on with just this Yamacha situation. Chi Chi held onto her, as Bulma sobbed, and mumbled things that he couldn't understand. No, he couldn't understand what she was saying, except one thing, "Why…? Why…did you do this to me…? Why me?"
Kakarott came back and gave Vegeta everything he had asked for. He put the collar on him, and tied him up. He dragged Yamacha's limp body over to the other side of the capsule house. He came back again onto the scene of Bulma, Chi Chi, and Kakarott.
"You should've killed him…" Kakarott said solemnly.
"I wanted to… but I promised her that I wouldn't…" He looked over at Bulma, "You and Chi Chi go inside and eat, I'll take Bulma upstairs." He walked over to Bulma and picked her up, and she grabbed a hold of him in a death grip. He walked inside of the and up the stairs. Upon coming to the master bedroom, he kicked open the door, and kicked it closed behind him.
He sat on the bed, and tried to lay her down, but she wouldn't let go of him. She just continues to sob into his shoulder, blubbering things that he couldn't understand. He held onto her, stroked the back of her head, and cooed to her. He told her that everything's going to be alright, He told her how much he cared for her, and how he would never let any one hurt her, ever again.
Then finally, after what seemed like hours, she calmed down some, he was able to lay her down, and he laid with her. Holding her in his arms, and never letting go. And, sometime during the night, while she was asleep, she whispered in her ear…
"I love you… Bulma…"Author's notes: Holy Shit… I can't believe I just wrote that. Actually, I liked this chapter… and I hope you all did too. Who is 'He' and what did 'He' do to her? Hmmm?
