~The Him And Her Situation~

Chapter 3 -- The Truth Be Told

Vegeta buzzed inside just as Bulma. He couldn't wait to tell her about his mark and what it meant. He flew around his new room unpacking at super speed. He felt so live, so utterly alive, he was so amazed at it cause it was told to him before love was a weakness. He scoffed at them now, he's never felt stronger in his life than now. He couldn't wait to go out and do something, anything away from here, from his father. He looked over his room and approved that everything was in it's place. He ran in into the shower to get cleaned up. He so could not wait.

Bulma ripped through her closet trying to find just what to wear. "UGH too much to pick from!" Wanted something nice and a bit showy but not too much. She grabbed a pair of warn in jeans that seem that they where made just for her. They hugged her curves just right. Then she grabbed a light yellow tank top, it was just the right length to give a slight skin tease when she walked. She ran into the shower feeling like she was walking on air.

"God and this is just the first day.' they both sighed.

Somehow what they both said seem to echo into each others mind. "I didn't just hear Bulma did I?" he was puzzled and looked around with her no where in sight. "Was that, Vegeta?" She peeked out to only see steam. "Must be hearing things." she shrugged.

Vegeta came out of the shower and felt really lose and relaxed. He was about to put on his normal Saiyan suit when he had a thought, "I should blend in more, hmm I'll wear something more human I guess."

He dug into his closet and pulled out a dark blue short sleeve shirt and tan slightly baggy cargo pants. He put on some deodorant and cologne then tighten up his black boots. He smirked at himself in the mirror, "I might just like dressing like this more." he smirked.

Bulma dried and changed into her outfit. She wore down her hair and but some soft but noticeable curls in her hair. She put on some light blush and a soft pale pink lipstick. She looked herself over in the mirror, "Damn girl you look good. " she smirked.

She ran down the stares passing her mom on the way out. "Mom going out, be back at umm whenever, laters!" Bunny looked up from her magazine, "Oh bai dear." But Bulma was out the door and gone already.

Bulma ran out to one of the side gardens that was next to Vegeta's house and sat down on one of the benches. She thought about where they should go, they really didn't even talk about it yet.

Vegeta just slapped a note on his door saying he went out and flew out his window. He saw Bulma right away sitting down and flew down next to her.

"Hey there" he purred.

"Hey!' Bulma said smiling.

"Ready to go?"

"Yea but umm to where?"

Vegeta chuckled, "You'll see" He walked up to her and placed his arms around her waist. " I gotta talk to you first then you get to pick where we go afterwards, k?"

Bulma looked him a bit puzzled, "k, is it about something bad?"

Vegeta laughed a little, "Nothing of kind,… well I think."

"You think!?"

Before Bulma could get in another word Vegeta scooped her up and took off into the air. Bulma was a little scarred at first but then ended up hugging her arms around Vegeta's neck. They flew deep into the city then made it to one of the older parts. Vegeta finally set down on top of a huge clock tower that out looked the city and had such a amazing view.

Bulma gasped at the view, she couldn't get over how nice it was. "How did you know about this place?"

Vegeta smirked, "I saw it when we came into the city. My father had to go to a lot of different places for some diplomatic reasons. I saw this clock tower and I though it might have a nice view."

Bulma smiled brightly and hugged Vegeta, "It's wonderful up here."

"Yea" he spoke softly. "But I have to talk to you now."

"Oh, what about?" she questioned.

"Us and something's you should know before we move on any further." He walked over and sat down up against a wall. Bulma plopped herself right down next to him.

"Woman, you have to promise me you WILL NOT tell anyone about this." he looked very seriously at her.

"Sure, I would never tell, I promise." she smiled sweetly.

"Good" he took a deep breathe in then out. "You see this?" he raised his shirt to show the red / blackish mark.

"Oh my!" she gasped, "What happen!?"

Vegeta chuckled, "I didn't get hurt, it's just. A sign male Saiyan's get. It's a signal if you will."

"A signal for what?"

Vegeta looked deep into her eyes, "It signals when a male meets his life mate. It signaled my connection to you. I saw it when I was changed after we were in the pond."

"Life mate? Is that like a…. soul mate?"

Vegeta smiled a hint and shook his head yes. "I hope this isn't too heavy, I mean it's what day one and I'm laying it down pretty thick."

Bulma just sighed happily, it was like a sign from god that they where meant to be. She leaned into him and cuddled closely as he wrapped his arm tightly around her.

"It's ok, I…I really feel this is right."

Vegeta nodded and took a smell of her hair and sighed contently.

"But, you have to know something."

"Hmm?"

"I can't act this way around you in public. As the prince of all Saiyan's I have to show nothing but strength. I'm not saying loving you is a weakness, god no. I've never felt stronger than I do now but, others see it as one. As the prince I have to show and act in a certain way while I'm around others. It may even come off as me being a jerk. But I have to do these things, royalty has much higher standers than what normal society expects. Do you understand this?"

Bulma smiled and rubbed the side of his face, "I know just how you feel. My dad's company is know around the world and basically a house hold name. I have act the same way too. But as long as we know we can act how we truly want to around each other along it'll be ok."

Vegeta chuckled and held her closer, "Good cause tomorrow you get to see my high and mighty side."

Bulma smirked, "What I haven't seen it yet, I thought this was it."

Vegeta sighed a little, "Not even close. Ugh I hate acting stuck up. I hate my father for making me do it. I mean Vegetsei is gone. Can't we just move on the live here happily. That's all I really wanted but no he has to rebuild his empire that he lost on us." Vegeta clenched his free hand into a fist.

Bulma frowned a hint, "Don't worry we have each other now and that's all that matters."

Vegeta looked deep into her eyes and smiled, really smiled at her, "Yea it does."

They leaned in for another passion filled kiss. And where left staring into each others eyes.

"So beautiful" he chuckled and ran his ran through her hair.

Bulma smiled sweetly at his comment. She snuggled into him more forgetting all about going somewhere else that night. She wanted to be just where she was. Safe and warm in his arms. They where so strong, it was like nothing could ever touch her while she was there.

The two of them sat there for hours. Bulma talking about Earth, her friends, and the up incoming year of school. Vegeta told her about Vegetsei, the palace, and the war. He always thought the war was stupid. He hated his father for it and his damn pride. He struggled within himself all the time cause he felt the same pride deep within him. But he was never going to end up like his father. He sweared to what ever god he could that he would not follow down his father's footstep's. He wanted to live his own life, pick his own destiny for him to reach his own greatness and be truly legendary.

The clock stuck eleven and Bulma let out a sigh. "I have to go home now."

Vegeta grumbled a bit feeling very comfortable where he was. "ok" He scooped and flew them back to her house. He set her down on the balcony and wrapped his arms her waist.

"I'll see tomorrow?"

"Yaup!"

Vegeta chuckled, she was co cute he couldn't help but feel happy around her. "Good, will walk there together?"

She nodded in excitement. Vegeta smiled a bit more and leaned in for a rich goodnight kiss. "Bye" he softly spoke as the two broke apart.

"bai" and softly spoke back as he took off out the window to his house. Bulma stood there for a moment still taking in the whole aroma of it all. "GUAHHA!!" she screamed as she fell back on to her bed. "This year is going to be the BEST!" She ran down stares to tell her folks she was home. "MOM DAD I'M BACK!"

Bunny smiled, "Oh that's good dear but, how you didn't come in through the front door?"

"Oh! Umm I came in through the window?"

Bunny chuckled, "Your so silly sometimes Bulma."

"Well night mum!" She ran back up stares and hope right into her pj's. She snuggled deeply under her covers thinking about nothing about tomorrow and Vegeta.

Vegeta got back into his room and flopped on his bed. He stared at the ceiling sighing happily. His mother who was walking by heard him and entered.

"Vegeta?"

"Hey mom"

"How was night dear?"

"It was….nice"

Rosicheena smiled, "I'm happy for you dear now get some sleep you have school in the morning."

"k"

Just then Veldock came bye and looked in, "Where were you?"

Vegeta frowned a bit, "Out"

"I could see that that but where?"

"Why are you being such a snoop, I just flew around is all."

"Vegeta do NOT test me!"

Vegeta sighed, "I'm not ok now leave me alone."

Veldock glared at his son, "You better shape up for tomorrow. I will NOT have you show weakness to these Earthlings tomorrow."

"Fine whatever."

Veldock fumed and stormed over to him and picked him up by his shirt, "Do you want to to go to school tomorrow with a black eye and a broken arm!?"

Vegeta sneared at his father, "……no"

Veldock dropped him, "Good now go to bed and be up tomorrow, I will not have my son being late."

Vegeta waited till his mother and father left. "Fucking asshole" he muttered.



( WOW I'm so glad all you people like it so much. When I was working on this chapter I would have it done sooner but since I barely sleep anymore it caught up with me and I went and took a nappy. Well now that all refreshed I'm going to write into the night burning that midnight oil. Now time to clear up a few things.

Aquaice Gurl - I hope this chapter has cleared that up for ya. If not I'll explain it a bit more in later chapters.

Arisusa- Sure I can do that if I get enough people to say that too maybe I'll get a mailing list.

Baka-sama- Wooa thanks for the nice bonding details but I've read all about bonding and that and I'm not following the normal bonding a bit. I'm sorta going to putting my own spin on how it happens. I'm trying to get some fresh idea's into B/V fic's. And I'd try to email but it said it could not find your mail addy. =( Please check if ya wrote it write, thanky.

Mushi-azn- Thanks BIG time for that info I'll go and change that right now. I was trying to find it online but with little luck. And sure you can use that. I'm all about sharing fresh idea's.

Re-o-ko- Hey sure oh look here's one now, lol, I'll probably be up till 8 am writing more chapters so I hope that will do?

*bows* Thank you all very much for reviewing and I am so glad you like my fic so much. I will be sure to update at least one chapter a day for you all! And get in for a long haul this is going to be a very long fan fiction. I oddly have the whole thing pretty planned out in my head already. Oo But I might change it down the line a bit. I'm trying to freshness here. Breaking down the walls of what's normally know and sticking a new idea in it's place. Anyway for Veldock he may seem a bit mean right now but trust me all will be explained! No one does anything in here with out reason. Just gotta wait as I slowly explain it all out. Till next time kiddies! And feel free to email if you like to chat on aim. -Ellen)
