Vegeta's Mate. Chapter Two. Sharby's Return.

Vegeta woke up and looked around. Goku, Gohan and Chi-Chi were sitting at the table eating their breakfast. Then Bulma breathed in and he realised that her head was resting on his chest. He lightly lifted her head up and placed it on a pillow. She woke up. "Good morning." Vegeta whispered so only Bulma could hear. "Why was I, y'know?" Bulma asked and she started to blush. "You were having a nightmare so I did it to calm you down." Vegeta said. "Did you sleep well after? How did you know that you were like that?" "I woke up in the middle of the night. Thank you." Bulma said. "It's pretty hard to figure you out." "What do you mean?" "At first, you gave the impression that you think that you were the only person and now you do this." "Well I can change." "Thank you for saving me yesterday." Bulma said as she hugged him. He stroked her hair. "Why did you jump in front of me?" "I guess I." "Morning guys. You two are getting close." Goku said when he realised that they were hugging. They separated and blushed a little when they themselves realised. "So how's your back?" "How am I supposed to know?" Vegeta asked. He sat up and Bulma saw a scar going down his spine. "I'm sorry." Bulma said. "Why? It's either this, that didn't even hurt, or going back with Sharby." Vegeta said, making Bulma feel better. "Get up. I'm gonna get you prepared just in case she comes after you again." "Okay. I'll see you in twenty." Bulma got up and showered. Then she had some toast. She walked out to find Vegeta and Goku sparing. She could tell that it was just a spar because no one was badly bleeding or injured. They stopped and flew over to Bulma and Gohan who were waiting for them. Goku and Gohan flew away and Vegeta took Bulma to a clearing. "First, you need to learn how to fly but before we do that, you need to get your energy level up. I want you to keep up with me. I'll fly and you have to follow me. I will get faster." Vegeta said before he started to fly in a large circle. Bulma ran underneath him and she started off good but she slowed down after two minutes. "You can't be tired yet." He snapped. "Well, I am." Bulma said. "I haven't been brought up to destroy planets." "You were friends with Kakarot and he is a Super Saiyan, one of the most feared beings in the universe. How couldn't you?" "Can't we just use the Dragon Balls?" Bulma asked. "That's a stupid idea." Vegeta said. The day passed quickly and soon everyone was asleep. Sharby had followed Goku's energy level, from his spar with Vegeta and was in the Son family's house. She saw Bulma and Vegeta asleep in bed together and went after Bulma. Vegeta woke up and saw Sharby going for Bulma. He blasted Sharby, waking up Bulma and giving her some time to get away. The jealous Saiyan wasn't hurt so she went after Bulma again. Vegeta stepped in front of Bulma and took the blow. "I'm sorry, my prince." Sharby said before disappearing again. Bulma looked up at Vegeta. "You saved me again." "Was I supposed to watch you die?" Vegeta asked. Then Goku, Gohan and Chi- Chi who had heard the fight came running in. "What happened?" Goku asked. "You're late and you missed the fight." Bulma said. "Sharby came after me again." "Bulma, are you alright?" Chi-Chi asked. "Yeah. Vegeta saved me." Bulma answered. "You're getting used to this, aren't you?" Goku asked Vegeta. "She'll come back for Bulma. We need to leave." Vegeta said. "Before we go, where'd she get you?" Bulma asked. "Again?" Vegeta complained. Bulma looked up at him with angry eyes. "Fine then. It was just on my back." "Let me look." Bulma demanded. Vegeta turned around and proved to her that it was nothing. "So how are you going to get rid of this problem? Are you going to live your life running away from her or are you going to wait until she gets Bulma and then live your life with Sharby?" Chi-Chi asked. "No. I need to get rid of her." Vegeta said. "Do you mind joining me Kakarot? It could be hard. Killing a Saiyan always was." "Kay, but we leave in the morning." Goku said as he and Chi-Chi walked back in their room. Gohan then left for his and Bulma got into bed. "Thankyou." Bulma said to Vegeta. He then got into bed next to her. "You never told me why you always save me." "Well, I, um. If you were dead then who would fix the toaster and let me stay at their house? And if you were dead then I'd have to be Sharby's mate." Vegeta said. Bulma moved over to him and hugged him. He surprisingly, he hugged her back. "But I'm not your true mate. Do you really think that she believes us?" "I hope so. You're lucky that she hasn't killed you. She was one of my biggest opponents on Vegeta-Sei. I think she was the strongest female." "What about your mother? Wasn't she strong to have to put up with you?" "I can't really remember her. She died when I was really young. I grew up with my father. I had a little cousin who kept me company, despite him being two months when Vegeta-Sei was blown up. I can remember I had to take care of him half of the time. I had to hum this song to him to put him asleep. It calms all Saiyan babies." "Were you a noisy baby?" "How am I supposed to know? I don't have that good of a memory. I have been knocked around a lot. What about you? Were you all that bad?" "Mum says that when we had family get togethers, I would always be asleep while all the other children would be playing with their latest toys, or my latest toys seeing as I was the spoilt one. Did you ever think that you would have a mate when Frieza killed everyone?" "No. I thought that I would be stuck by myself with no love or children." "Do you still feel that way?" Bulma asked. "I'm sure you could find someone here on Earth. I still think that I'm destined for Yamcha, though." "You do? I don't know why. He cheats on you everytime you guys actually get more serious. I don't think that I'll find someone here on Earth. You're the only one who likes my company." "Goku likes you around when you're not trying to kill him." "And that is?" Vegeta asked sarcastically. "Well, if you're like that then why should I bother? I was going to mention getting you with one of my friends. Maybe you two could have gotten to know each other pretty well. She wouldn't be afraid of you." "She?" "Yes, she. You don't think that I would set you up with a guy, do you?" "I hope not. I thought you just meant a friend, not a mate." "No, I met girlfriend." "I doubt that you'd find any other girl who likes the idea of dating an alien." "I tried." Bulma said. She hugged him closer, much to Vegeta's surprise. Soon they fell asleep.
