SCROLL THAT STORY! [lol...ok so maybe it wasn't that funny.]

It had been awhile since Vegeta last saw her. Everything had pretty much returned to normal. Well, almost normal. Thoughts still picked at the back of his head. Vegeta still couldn't quite figure out what had happened.
Vegeta sat there and picked at his food, not really eating. Bulma watched him; she was worried. He had been like this for a while and she couldn't figure out why.
"Vegeta. . . What's wrong?" Bulma asked.
Vegeta looked up from his plate. "Nothing."
"Are you sure? You've been acting strange lately..."
"I said I'm fine." Vegeta stood and went to the gravity room.
Bulma watched as he left. He had hardly touched his food. She suddenly didn't feel like eating anymore. She stood and cleared the table, still thinking about Vegeta. Exactly what was it that was bugging him? And why?
Vegeta entered the gravity room and turned the gravity up to 100 times Earth's normal gravity. He started to train, much like he did everyday. "Why did she come back?" Vegeta thought. He had found himself asking that question everyday, and everyday he failed to come up with an answer.
After a few hours, the sun set with all its orange, pink and red hues blending into the night sky as the stars came out. Vegeta stopped to rest for a moment. Looking out the window of the gravity room, he could see the stars set into the sky.
"Vegeta. . ." a voice whispered softly. This time Vegeta recognized the voice.
"Kimiko, why did you come back?" Vegeta asked, his voice low and unsteady.
"I promised I'd come back to you. And you said you'd wait..." She said staring out the window at the stars.
"I remember...I've never forgotten that day..."
Kimiko smiled slightly.
"But what happened? The next thing I knew, you were gone and Planet Vegeta had been destroyed." Vegeta was confused.
"I died that day... Something went terribly wrong with the ship's computers, and everything blew up, along with all the people in it... No one survived. But I came back...because I remembered what you said...That you'd wait for me." A single tear rolled down her cheek. Vegeta approached her slowly, wiped her tear away, and gazed into her eyes. He kissed her lips softly and breaking away slowly.
"I've missed you so much and I love you, but I've moved on." Vegeta said in a sad tone.
"I should have known...after all these years...You really love her don't you?"
"Yes, I love Bulma with all my heart...I admit, I don't always have the best way of showing it...When you died. I didn't want to be heartbroken all over again. It was hard...even now."
"Vegeta, don't let that hide your love, because you'll regret it one day. Believe me, if I'd had a choice...I wouldn't have left that day. I would have stayed...Maybe, just maybe we could have been together..."
"Maybe...but I can't live in the past."
"I know..." Kimiko kissed Vegeta's cheek softly. "I have to go. But remember me. The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love again and be loved."
Kimiko turned and started to walk away. Slowly fading away, Vegeta stood there and watched, a small, very faint smile on his lips.
Over the next few weeks, Vegeta had a definite change in his attitude, a positive one. Even Bulma noticed, and was happy to say the least.
One evening, Bulma and Vegeta sat on the couch watching a movie. Vegeta wasn't interested in it much, but he sat with Bulma and watched it anyway with his arm around her, holding her close. He'd never let go, and he had found some measure of peace within himself. Kimiko was still in his heart and he'd always love her.
When he met Bulma, he had found another reason to live, and that was all he needed. Now, he finally had what he had been looking for since those tragic events of his first love. He found closure.
*Silhouettes of a perfect frame* Shadows of your smile will always remain The greatest love soon fades away We go on I will always be
Long as I live, you will be My first love
I'm keeping old candy coated Valentines Memories of you When you were mine A tarnished dream On a tarnish chain Times keep changing, come sun or rain
Long as I live, you will be *My first love*
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
End A/N: It's kind of short. The ending was short and sweet. Does it leave you hanging? If so, let me know because I think there may be room for an epilogue... What do you all think? Well, you know what you do.
Ja ne ~.^
