~The Him And Her Situation~

Chapter 9 -- Phantom Of The Auditorium

Mrs. Ross buzzed about the room passing out a small peace of canvas to each of them. Then she broke out cases of oil paints and handed a set to everyone. Vegeta eyed the case really quite not sure what to do. He never had a art class before.

"Uhh woman what do we do with this?" He held up a paint brush.

Bulma blinked at him, "We paint with it, haven't you ever had art?"

Vegeta shook his head no. "What's the purpose of this class anyway?"

Bulma looked at him in shock a bit, "Umm well we do art stuff. I guess it's to see how creative you can be."

"Oh….umm" Vegeta blinked and looked at what was handed to him. He looked around at everyone else to see what they were doing. He looked back at Bulma looking confused. Bulma glanced up and saw him, she chuckled.

"Just watch what I do, you'll catch on soon."

"Uhh…k"

Bulma took out the paint and made little pools of each color on her pallet. Vegeta did the same wondering what he was doing. Bulma picked up a brush and dipped it in the blue paint and made a little mark on the pallet with it. Then added a little bit of white and a tiny bit of green then mixed it all together to make a sea blue.

"Now you mix the different colors you have there with your brush to get the color you want. Then to paint it on the canvas like this." she took a brush stroke across the caves then back again. She spread it around till there was a sort of half circle on it now.

"What your trying to do is with the paint is to create a picture. Like Mrs. Ross said were doing landscapes, so you have to paint a scene of the land. You can also add water like I have done here. If you want to watch me a little first before you try go right head."

Vegeta study what he had and what she had done and planed it out in his head of what to do, "No I think I get it now."

"Well ok" Bulma turned back and started to define her sea more.

Vegeta thought about what he should paint. He thought back to a favorite spot on Vegetsei he use to go to think. It was a lush forest that sat on the edge of a cliff by one of their famous lakes. The lake was famous for it's color which was blood red do to the algae growing in it. Vegeta dipped his brush in the blue and thinned it down a bit. He put down a thin color of blue across his canvas. Then he mixed the red color and carefully painted red patches on the blue.

As time went on Vegeta looked at his paint and smirked. He thought it looked pretty ok for his first try. It looked more like a 3rd grader's work but it was his first time at this. Bulma painted a sea scene with a pine filled shoreline on the left. A commotion started up around where Piccolo was sitting. Vegeta looked over seeing 7 or 8 students crowded around Piccolo. He nudged Bulma and pointed.

"What's going on over there?"

Bulma looked over not too sure herself, "I don't know but let's go look."

The two walked over and to there shock there was this highly detailed and beautiful painting in front of Piccolo. It almost looked like a photograph from away from it. Bulma pushed pass some people and poked Piccolo. He turned around to Bulma.

"Yes?"

"I didn't know you could paint so well!?"

"There's a lot about me you don't know."

"Yea Piccolo has always been good at art." Tien spoke up.

"WOW That's just so good! Did you make that up yourself?"

Vegeta finally pushed enough people out of the way to see. The painting had patches of island's with green sea and sky around it. The grass and tall thin tree's were blue and in full bloom of a pink flower. A few petals were flying in the sky dancing on the wind.

"Hey that's Namek!" Vegeta finally spoke up.

Piccolo chuckled, "Yes, yes it is. I painted my favorite time on Namek. When the flowers on Namek bloom finally. It's a very special time for my people."

"Wow that would be nice to see. Wow Piccolo you're a regular expert there." Bulma smiled.

Piccolo smirked a bit, "Umm thanks." He turned and glared at the other people around him. "Will you buzz off!" he hissed. Some people mumbled and walked off. Just then the teacher came up and handed Bulma and Vegeta some passes.

"You two have to go down to the office and get your final class." she sung out.

"Oh yea!"

Vegeta eyed Bulma, 'Umm what?"

Bulma turned to Vegeta, "They didn't give us a final class on our sheet so we have to go to the office and pick from what's open."

"Oh ok"

The two grabbed their stuff and made there way down to the front office. They were walking down one of the hall that was less traveled when suddenly Vegeta heard a deep and sinister laugh from behind. He spun around to see where it came from.

"What is Vegeta?"

"I … umm nothing I was hearing things."

Bulma shrugged it off and kept on walking. Vegeta took one more look around and followed after Bulma. A dark shadow from down the hall eyed Bulma and Vegeta. It chuckled to it's self and took off to who knows where. They finally got to the front office, a old and very cheery looking woman sat at the front. Bulma and Vegeta handed their sheets to her. "Oh you need a last class well lets see what we have open here. There's band, oh a math class, umm hmm and drama. That's all I see open for you two."

Bulma smiled brightly, "Oh Drama! Gimme drama!"

Vegeta wasn't too sure what drama was but hey it would be another class with Bulma, 'Umm I'll take that too."

"Well ok I'll put it in the computer. Report to the auditorium next period for it." the woman chipped.

Bulma's smiled brighten as they walked down the hall. It was going to be so much fun and I get to see Vegeta act! Oh boy this is going to be funny. I wonder if he even knows what drama is. He doesn't seem the acting type. Oh well too late now. She let out a almost maniacal laugh as they walked.

Vegeta looked at her wondering what the hell was so funny. "So umm what's drama?"

Bulma smiled and chuckled, "You'll see"

Some how Vegeta knew he was going to regret this. Suddenly someone said his name in a deep purr. Sending chills down him and Bulma's back. They both turned and looked down the hall to see nothing.

"What the hell was that!" peeped Bulma.

"I don't know, I think that's what I heard from before."

"Well that was really creepy. And why did it say your name?"

"I…I don't know." Vegeta was getting a little worried now. When the voice spoke it sent such chills down his spine. He was almost afraid, almost.

"Well umm lets get out of here." Bulma had a sound of fear coated on her voice.

"Yea let's." Vegeta wrapped a arm around Bulma's waist, making sure to have her keep close to her in case anything happen. Bulma snuggled into his arm more fearing what was the owner of such a dark toned voice.

They finally made there way their down to the auditorium. Since 6th period wasn't done yet they were alone in the giant and old room. They walked down and made their way towards the stage. Vegeta looked around at the old place. It had to be more than 50 years old. There was a front stage and behind a higher level up with more seats. Only the stage was lit. They sat down in the front row waiting for the next period.

"Pretty creepy huh?" Vegeta chuckled.

"Eh" Bulma said in a bored tone.

Vegeta leaned back in his seat more flexing out his arms and back. Bulma blushed a little really seeing how well toned he was. The shirt he wore wasn't the lose on him so it clung just right to show how well toned he really was as he flexed back in his seat. Vegeta made him self comfortable in the seat and wrapped his tail slowly around Bulma.

Bulma was looking around a bit when she felt his tail slowly wrap around her. She blushed a little but tried to hide it. Vegeta leaned back a bit and closed his eyes. Bulma sat back in her's a bit more. She blushed more when she felt his tail creeping under her shirt brushing lightly against her skin. Bulma couldn't but help but chuckle at it touch of his tail. It was slowly tickling her stomach.

Vegeta opened his eyes and looked at her, "What's so funny."

Bulma chuckled more, "Your tail, it's tickling me." she blushed a bit more.

"Oh" Vegeta smirked, "Sometimes it really does have a mind of it's own."

Bulma gave a playful glare and leaned into him. Vegeta wrapped his arm around her and took another sniff of her hair. He really enjoyed her sweet scent. He nudged her softly with his nose to look up at him. Bulma took the hint and turned her face to him.

"Hmm?"

Vegeta smirked softly at her and rubbed his nose softly against her's . Bulma melted inside. She loved it so much when he did that. He ran the backside of his hand slowly and gently across her face and he looked over her stunning features. Bulma blushed slightly and felt very relaxed. Vegeta cupped his hand to her face and chuckled.

"So beautiful" he spoke soft and sweetly.

He leaned in a bit and Bulma did the same. They softly kissed with only lips first, then Vegeta licked her lower lip a bit. Bulma opened her mouth more and the two slid their tongue's against each other. Bulma wrapped her arms around his neck and put more power behind her kiss. Vegeta not one to be out done tighten his grip with his tail around her and slid his arm down her curves and around her firm butt. He pulled her closer to him as they kissed with even more passion.

They finally broke apart with slightly flushed faces. Bulma now on a rush of adrenaline stared to slowly and kissed at his jaw line. She worked her way back and down towards his neck. Vegeta moan a deep and low groan as he titled his head back and to the side. Bulma kissed, licked and nipped her way down to his collar bone. Vegeta felt a surge of energy build up in him. It was like a slow wonderful torture.

He squeeze her butt more and growled a bit. He tilted his head back up and stared his own assault on Bulma's neck. He cupped her face in his hands as he flowed the same route she had traveled on him. When he reached her mid neck he felt somewhere deep in him the urge to bite her right there. He shook it off not wanting to do such a thing but it was something primal in him that gave him this urge. He nipped slightly harder here giving in slightly to it. He moved on from this spot not wanting to indulge such urge's yet. Bulma moaned slightly as he made his way across her collar bone. He took one hand off of her butt and slowly traced it way up. Bulma groaned in pleasure of his soft touches. He stopped at the bottom of her t shirt and slid his hand so very slowly under it. He rubbed back and forth slowly making his way up. She growled slightly at his slow speed. She wanted him to touch her, she needed to feel his hands all over her. Vegeta chuckled and made his way finally to the bottom of her bra and slid one finger under it grazing her breast slightly.

"Vegetaaaaa….." hissed a voice from above them.

"DAMN IT!!! FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUUUCCKKK!!! I'LL KILL WHO EVER SAID THAT!!!" screamed his mind. Vegeta pulled his hand right out and swiftly stood up looking all around. He was fuming at who ever was up there.

"WHO THERE!?" he bellowed. Bulma stood up in a slight case of fear. She grabbed on to Vegeta arm and held tight.

"Is it that voice from before?"

"I don't know but who ever it is I'm gonna kill them!" Vegeta hissed.

He brushed Bulma off and flew upward looking all around and extremely pissed now.

"WHERE ARE YOU!?" he shouted.

"MUAHHAHAA!!!" laughed the voice.

Bulma screamed out as she saw something move in the back near the doors. Vegeta turned and flew back down to Bulma's side.

"Where is it?" he growled.

Bulma pointed to the back in a state of panic, "B..back there. Please don't leave me alone." she said now with her voice trembling. Vegeta growled at what ever it was and turned back to Bulma.

"I'll never let anything hurt you, there's no need to be frighten." he spoke strongly to her.

Bulma slowly nodded and hide close behind Vegeta.

"Vegetaaaa I'm coming for youuu" spoke the voice once more. It laughed more then seem to lower as if it was vanishing away.

Vegeta growled more. Bulma ran up to Vegeta and dug her self into his chest.

"Vegeta I'm frighten."

Vegeta's scowl melted as he wrapped his arms around her. "Shhh it's going to be aright." he cooed to her.

Bulma looked at Vegeta almost at the point of crying. "Why does want you?"

Vegeta frowned a bit, "I wish I knew."

Just then the doors swung up, Vegeta spun around ready to fight but sighed after seeing who it was. 18 walked down the ramp towards them.

"Hey guys I didn't know you were taking drama too."

"OMG18 THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED!!! THERE WAS THIS CREEPY VOICE AND AND!!!"

18 looked at Bulma who was now in some sort of shock. "Wooa there calm down what happen?"

Bulma told 18 everything that happen expect the kissing thing, she really didn't need to know about that. 18 listened careful as Bulma went on. Vegeta kept his arms loosely around Bulma's waist as she talked. There was no way in hell he was going to let her out of his sight in there. If that thing wanted him it might come after Bulma.

"And then that's when you came in." Bulma said finally pretty much calm now.

"I see, well I guess you guys had a run in with the phantom."

"The phantom?" both Vegeta and Bulma questioned.

"Yea here let's sit down and I'll tell you about it."

( Oooo what is this phantom? Why does he want Vegeta? Will Bulma and Vegeta finish what they started? And Vegeta finds out what drama is all about finally. And can Vegeta protect Bulma from something he can't even sense? Find out in the next chapter, chapter 10 "The Ghostly Tale Of The Phantom" -Ellen)
