Chapter seven! Well the reviews this time were better…but I warn you all…Anyway! Thank you to the ones who did review! You give me the praise I need to continue! My classes at school are much harder so It's hard to write when you have a ton of homework sitting beside you! *Looks at the mile high stack of papers next to her and quickly looks back at her computer screen* ;-.-
Sorry if Vegeta becomes a little OOC.
Disclaimer: the usual. This song is by The Goo Goo Dolls and is called Here is Gone.
I dedicate this chapter to Bunni Girl! I am so happy that you review every single time and I'm also happy that my story has that much of an impact on you. This chapter is just for you. Live on Alternative music! (also many thanks to my wonderful reviers!!)
"Spilt tears for the loss of him. For the loss of hope and love."

The emotion he kept inside of him…it was escaping. It had almost gotten its freedom before, but he stopped it. He had to. His pride demanded it. But was he now a slave to his pride? Doing exactly what it commanded him to do? Was that what she was doing all this time? Was she competing against his pride? Trying to free him…
You and I got something
She lost. Didn't she? The new questions in his mind were destroying him. Was that why he was so attracted to her? Because she was one of the only creatures that could stand up against his pride and still live?
But it's all and then it's nuthin to me, yeah
But apparently that didn't last. His pride got to her to. And she was destroyed just like all the others. The only thing different about her was the length of time she lasted.
And I got my defenses
He locked up those unspeakable feelings and emotions inside a cage in his heart…with his pride guarding it. He had to admit that she did weaken those defences.
When it comes through your intentions for me, yeah
He held on to his chest as he flew in the night sky, as if he were trying to keep a wild creature from ripping his flesh and emerging from it.
And we wake up in the breakdown
But he knew that his pride was a first-rate guard and would never let if escape…but did he want it to escape? He did at the begging…but did the cage become tougher since then?
With the things we never thought we could be, yeah
It wasn't him who destroyed her. It wasn't her either. He knew exactly who to blame.
I'm not the one who broke you
It was his Pride. The Pride that killer her, and was slowly killing him. Ever so slowly.
I'm not the one you should fear
What now? Was he too scared to stand up to his pride? NEVER! He would never be scared of anything. He enjoys a challenge. But this was no challenge of physical strength. This was a challenge of the heart, and he knew it. And that's what scared him.
We got to move you darlin
BEEP – The Dragonball radar was reacting again. He wished this time he'd get some desperately needed action.
I thought I lost you somewhere
He flew in the direction of the high-pitched beeps always looking down and side to side. To someone, who would have been watching, would have said that he looked like he had lost something and was searching everywhere to find it. As a dog would to find his master or a fool and his dollar.
But you were never really ever there at all
But he was no dog or a fool for that
matter, but he had lost something (AN: His marbles...lol…couldn't resist). He
lost her. And for the first time in days he wasn't trying to suppress those
thoughts. He embraced them, and for a slight moment he felt complete.
And I want to get free
The cage was melting slowly but surly, even as he flew. It was escaping and the guard was panicking.
Talk to me
He did need her like a dog needing his master, or even as a fool needed his dollar.
I can feel you falling
But was he still willing to give up immortality for her?
And I wanted to be
He did want her, but as much as his life goal.
All you need
If only he had never came here. If only she never invited him. If only she kept loving her baka boyfriend. If only he…
Somehow here is gone
He wasn't helping the situation by
regretting. He was making it harder on his part.
I am no solution
He wasn't used to this kind of treatment…or torture he should call it.
To the sound of this pollution in me, yeah
She turned to him…and he killed her. It was simple as that and the answer was to get her back…wasn't it? He was so involved with his inner conflict that he almost didn't realize the increasing beeps on the radar. Almost.
And I was not the answer
He landed and observed his surroundings. It was a weird place, filled with bright lights and structures were origins of screams came. Maybe this place was a like a torcher chamber.
So forget you ever thought it was me, yeah
But quickly discarded the thought after
seeing many children and adults smiling and laughing alike. He read the banner
over head. –Welcome to Jake and Martha's greatest Fair-
I'm not the one who broke you
He peered down at the circular device in his hand, which indicated that the fourth ball was to his right.
I'm not the one you should fear
There stood a blue and black tent. He walked through the opening and glanced around at the tiny spaced room.
We got to move you darlin
His attention was quickly turned from the four fabric walls to the orange ball with 3 stars on the table in the middle. He walked up to round sphere and just as he was to grab it a voice called out to him. "Vegeta"
I thought I lost you somewhere
He looked up to see the owner of the unfamiliar voice. It was an old woman who wore clothes that resembled a character from a gypsy movie he once saw.
But you were never really ever there at all
"Prince Vegeta." She said in her scratchy
voice. "I have been expecting you. Have you made you mind yet?" The old women
questioned as if she knew what was going on in the mighty prince of sayian's
head.
And I want to get free
He growled. Did everybody know what he was thinking? First Kami and now an old lady that he could kill just by breathing on her!
Talk to me
"Tell me." She demanded more then asked as she sat down in one of the chairs facing the table, which held the magic orange ball.
I can feel you falling
He remained quiet except for a growl from the inside of his throat. He was ready to destroy her and take that ball…so what was he waiting for? The answer perhaps?
And I wanted to be
A small smile of wisdom came to that old wrinkled face of hers when she said, "Sit." When he did not. She lifted her hands to circle the orange ball, which now glowed white. The once yellow stars disappeared leaving behind nothing except a glow that captured his attention. He never knew that it could do that.
All you need
He remained standing still. "You look for her. Do you not?" The old women inquired. Just as he was to tell her off an image came to the bright ball. A familiar image that made him maintain his silence.
Somehow here is gone
It was her! BULMA! His eyes were fixed on the once destroyed image. "It is she who you search for. Is it not?" He couldn't talk as if under some powerful spell. He nodded using all the strength he could muster.
And I dont need the fallout
It was really her. She was crying in the image. Spilt tears for the loss of him. For the loss of hope and love.
Of all the past that's in between us
For a loss that she had lost all faith in restoring.
And I'm not holding on
"She cries for you. Just for you and no other. Tell me. Tell her" The woman paused as her gaze fell from the ball onto him. "Immortality is more important."
And all your lies weren't enough to keep me here
His eyes widened and as if she had found
the exact key of words to open the locked cage. His heart skipped a beat. The
beast was near freedom if not free already.
And I want to get free
His voice was stuck in his throat. He could not udder a word.
Talk to me
And her image faded…just as it did once before. All left to be shown was the 3 stars inside an orange background.
I can feel you falling
His hand unconsciously reached out to the ball, to her.
And I wanted to be
The old lady remained silent and still for a few minutes allowing the confused alien gather his thoughts and decisions. Then in a sly movement she lifted the ball from it's resting stop and walked over to the sayian.
All you need
She held the ball in her bony hands as she spoke. "Take it. I have said what I wanted to say, and shown what I needed to show." She placed the ball on the ground in front of him and took a step back. "Good luck, torn prince." She whispered quietly.
Somehow here is gone
He glanced at the ball, which stood at his feet and then looked up expecting to see the old women, instead seeing an empty room. Her ki was nowhere to be found, if she even had a ki to begin with. She had simply vanished.
And I want to get free
He picked up the ball and placed it under his arm, right beside the other sited ball.
Talk to me
He had to take both balls to capsule corporation. His count was at 5. But for some reason, it didn't matter anymore.
I can feel you falling
If any doubt was left about the creature
and the cage, none could be left now. It was now obvious that his pride failed,
the creature escaped and was consuming him.
I know it's out there
The monster fought for all the emotions that he never unleashed or excepted, except anger, it fought for its freedom, and it fought for her. And for the first time, it was winning.
I know it's out there
It was her avenger, and it was making sure that he would pay for hearting her so. And it was doing a damn good job at it too.
And I can feel you falling
He clutched his chest once again, but this
time there was no protector to stop the creature from popping out of his chest.
I know it's out there
He was in pain. But his pride lived on and it was hardly bruised at all. It was only pushed down and out of the way. It stood up again ready for a fight. He ran out of the tent and leaped into the sky.
I know it's out there
He flew as his pride and his concealed emotions had a battle over control. As his heart and mind raged on for dominance. And as his anger and love clashed for life.
Somehow here is gone, yeah

How was that! I think that was one of the best chapters so far! What do you think! Vegeta left behind his denial, but did he also leave behind his sanity? O_o I had to borrow a part from Alien, just if anyone was thinking that whole thing about a creature popping out of the chest deal was my idea, it isn't.
I want to see reviews people (flames excepted)! Or I'll send bunni girl after you! He-he! I can be quite cruel if I don't get more reviews…very cruel…*dramatic pause*
Don't forget to check out my other B/V story, especially if you like this one!! It's also a songfic, but it's a one shot!

What if Bulma was the cheater and not Yamcha…
