any Chi-Chi/Goku romance moments!! Don't flame please!
Tournament for Queen
Bulma woke up and stared at her surroundings. She, starting to think last night was just some sort of passion-filled dream, tried to get up till she felt a strong arm grasp around her waist pulling her back into his chest. Bulma grinned and snuggled back into him as he breathed ruffly in her hair. She giggled a bit then the memory of what had really occurred last night came flooding back to her and she gasped swiftly bringing her hand up to her collarbone right at the nook of her neck noticing the marking.
"What the hell are you some kinda vampire?!" she yelled slapping him upside the head. Vegeta glared at her and sat up his muscles stretching as he did. Bulma stared at him in awe as though he was a god. Does he have any fat on him? she thought as she noticed how muscular he actually was.
"You didn't seem to hate it last night." Vegeta replied causing Bulma to blush immensely.
"Why'd you bite me?" Vegeat smirked at her then moved his fingers slightly over the marking making her arousal for him worse.
"It is the mark the male gives to the female when they mate. That is a sign to others that you belong to me and it will never go away." he answered and Bulma raised an eyebrow.
"So this is like cow branding...this is to show that I belong to you, so the person who wanted me can't have me?" Vegeta nodded. "What happens if they took me anyway?" Vegeta's smirked turned more into an evil grin.
"Then I'd have to kill him." Vegeat said then noticed the look on Bulma's face which read, 'That is so totally gross, couldn't you just beat him up?'. "Ok, listen woman, because I'm only going to explain this once..." Bula nodded for him to continue as she took his hands in hers. (A/N: Ok people I'm not going to tell the whole mates thing b/c you basically have memorized it by now!) Vegeta explained everything about mates, how they can telepathically speak, how they know what the other is feeling or thinking, and how they derive strength from each other. When all explaining and questions were done Bulma had one thing on her mind.
"Teach me how to telepathically speak." she commanded, the sheet barely covering her naked body was starting to fall. That distracted Vegeta for a second.
"Get dressed, then I'll teach you." Bulma grinned then pressed herself against Vegeta whispering seductively in his ear.
"Do I make you you want me again like this?" she whispered noticing him flinch as she traced his musbles. Vegeta smirked at the little minx in front of him then whispered to her.
"Later, little one, now get dressed." Bulma smiled then got up taking the silk sheet with her. Vegeta watched her as she disappeared into the bathroom. Kami, she's beautiful...
~~~~*****
In one of Vegeta's secret training areas...
"Okay, this is quite simple. Just say something in your head and think it at me." Vegeta ordered and Bulma nodded.
Okay...um...
*THIS ISN'T GOING TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!*
Vegeta stumbled backwards grabbing his head in agony.
"KAMI WOMAN!!!" Vegeta yelled. "FUCK! SHIT! DAMMIT! HELL! SON OF A BITCH!!..." Vegeta went on yelling every cuss word known to mankind and then some.
"Whoops...guess I put a little too much think into that thought, eh?" Bulma laughed causing Vegeta to glare at her.
"Let's try this again..." Vegeta said with agitation noticible in his voice. Bulma tried again.
*Does it work?*
Vegeta relaxed as it finally worked.
*Yes, woman, it works...* Bulma jumped up and down and hugged Vegeta kissing him on the cheek quickly.
"Ok, now that it works shouldn't we get back?" Bulma asked. Vegeat nodded and they left back for the palace.
They arrived right as King Vegeta was walking down the hallway. They appeared before him startling him a bit before he regained his composure. Vegeta crossed his arms and put on his usual scowl as Bulma smiled. Her shirt not really covering her mating mark and at that particular time the King saw it.
"You have mated?!" he yelled causing (A/N: Gods, there's lots of causings, noticings, grins, smirks, arms, and mated in this story!!) Bulma to lose her smile and look at the ground in shame.
"Do you know how this effects the tournament?! What were you thinking? I'm doing this tournament for you, son!!" the King shouted. Vegeta noticed the state that his mate was in. How she faced the ground and dared not to look up and that made his heart twist in pain.
"You're doing this for your own fucking self!! I never wanted this tournament to go on but you did it anyway! You're the one who told me all the stuff about mates and how she was the one who would help me succeed, how she's the key and now you don't want me to be her mate?! What were you thinking?" Vegeta screamed using his father's own words against him. Bulma looked up at her mate as he stuck up for her...well them.
"Bulma, round 1 and 2 of the tournament are today in an hour and round 3 is tomorrow. Be ready." the King said glaring at his son then walked off. Bulma sighed then rested her arm on Vegeta's elbow. He turned to her and stared into her eyes then flew off leaving a very stunned Bulma.
******~~~~~
The First Round...Getting Ready...
Bulma was in her room awaiting the person who would fix her up for the Beauty competition. Her mind should be concentrating on the tournament but she was too strung out about Vegeta. Maybe she should talk to him, and she knew just how.
*Vegeta?*
*What woman?*
*Why did you just fly off like that?*
*What did you want me to do, stay and chat while my father was telling the whole country how we're mated?...woman, there are complications that I have to work out...*
*What complications?*
*NOTHING! You should be concentration on the tournament!*
*I thought you didn't care about the tournament...*
*ARG! Woman, just do as you're told!* he finished as he placed up a mental block that she couldn't break.
"Fine, be an asshole about it." Bulma cursed till she heard the door open and in popped the most unlikely person...
Chi-Chi.
"Chi?!" Bulma yelled and ran up to hug her.
"B!!" Chi-Chi screamed as they hugged very sister-like.
"How have you been? It's been horror having no one to talk to!" Bulma said smiling. Except Sheryl...best not to think of that right now... she thought stalling only for a nano-second.
"I can see you have been living well these past months. Look at you all fance and everything!" Chi-Chi complimented.
"Well...it's ok seeing as how I'm going to be living here!" Bulma replied causing her friend to raise an eyebrow.
"How? The tournament isn't over yet." Chi-Chi asked then Bulma revealed her mating mare as Chi-Chi's eyes grew wide. "TO THE PRINCE?!" Bulma only nodded. Chi-Chi was like hyperventilating.
"Chi, what's wrong?"
"B, isn't that cheating?" Bulma's smile disapated.
"What are you talking about?"
"You mating the Prince BEFORE the tournament is over is cheating!"
"That's poposterous! Vegeta said he didn't give a shit about this tournament! I believe him!" Bulma said her anger starting to show.
"I'm not saying you shouldn't believe your mate! I'm saying that you may not win the tournament because of that!"
"Only me, Vegeta, and King Vegeta know of this. Vegeta told me there were some complications he had to deal with but I know it'll end up right!"
"What about Freezia?" Bulma turned distraughtly toward her.
"What?! Where'd you hear about Freezia?"
"I met this really nice guy named Goku and he accidentally spilled out that Freezia is coming here tomorrow, and that he's looking for you. He wasn't supposed to tell me this nor anyone really, not even the Prince." Bulma looked a little worried for a second till she smiled again.
"Goku is really kind of odd, maybe he just heard wrong." she said. "Let's just get ready for the 1st round." Chi-Chi nodded in aggreement as she got her dress ready.
~~~~~~*******
Round 1 Beginning...
They arrived at the stadium in which they noticed a platform in the middle and in the crowd lay the royal seats where Vegeta and King Vegeta sit. Bulma's dress was covered up by a cape which some Saiyans in the crowd frowned upon. Chi-Chi led Bulma to the backroom of the platform and they saw Charlotte wearing another skimpy little dress that just screamed 'Slut!'. She smirked evilly at Bulma.
"Get ready to lose, bitch!" Charlotte sneered as she got ready to get on stage. Bulma just rolled her eyes in response..
"SAIYANS OF VEGETASEI!!! WE'RE HERE TO BRING YOU THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT FOR QUEEN! WE BEGIN WITH ROUND ONE, WHICH IS BEAUTY, THEN ROUND TWO, INTELLIGENCE, THEN TOMORROW ROUND THREE, STRENGTH. LET US BEGIN THE BEAUTY ROUND. OUR FIRST CONTESTANT IS CHARLOTTE DEMANDEZ!!" the announcer spoke loudly in the microphone causing the crowd to burst into cheers.
As Charlotte made her way up the stairs Bulma and Chi-Chi yelled,
"Break a leg, two hopefully! And we mean LITERALLY!"
Charlotte got a lot of cheers for that barely covering anything that should be covered dress that was practically see through and this made Bulma scared they'd boo her off stage. Don't think that, then you'll do bad! she thought then made her way up to the stage after her name was called.
She walked carefully on the platform as not to trip or screw up. She tossed off her cape revealing a long beautiful red gown that frilled at the ends and on the two speggeti straps holding it up. Her hair was up in a curly bun with curls hanging down framing her face. She had no make-up because she didn't need any and she wore red strappy heels. Do I just stand here? she thought and apparently she was. The audience was stunned in silence at how such weak a creature could be so beautiful. After she was done, she went quickly to the backroom and changed for the intelligence round. This one I'm positively sure I'll win! she thought and continued to dress.
*********~~~~~~~
"Wasn't my Charlotte absolutely gorgeous?!" cried Ivan, Charlotte's father.
"Yes, she certainly was , wasn't she Vegeta?" the King answered. Vegeta just snorted in arrogance as he watched his mate come into view. She took off her cape to reveal absolute beauty that made his heart do backflips. Kami...she looks like a goddess... he thought then frowned as he watched her leave the stage. Must be getting ready for the next round. The announcer took the microphone sharply causing feedback to blar through the speakers making the crowd grab their ears in agony.
"Everyone will you please vote on who should be the winner of the first round." the announcer spoke as everyone, save the royals, pushed either one or two on their voting keypads in front of them. A giant television above the platform showed the results about 15 seconds later:
Charlotte: 52% Bulma: 37%
Vegeta scowled at the screen as Ivan hopped up and down happily.
I'm sorry woman...he thought but unbeknowest to him Bulma heard it.
~~~~~~~*******
*I'm sorry woman...*
*Yeah, me too.*
*What?*
*Remember Veggie I can hear you!*
*ARG! Don't call me that! You better win the next round.*
*Why would it matter if I won it or not? I'm your mate shouldn't I like automatically become Queen?*
*As I told you before...there are complications...*
*Like cheating?*
*What? Cheating? No, my father has tossed that source of blame out the fucking window.*
*Oh...*
"NOW SAIYANS WE COME TO OUR NEXT ROUND: INTELLIGENCE!" the announcer yelled.
*You have to go.*
*I know...I love you.*
*What did you say?*
*I said I love you.*
*Love?*
*Yes, I love you silly...listen I have to go now. I'll talk to you later in my room.* she neded and placed a mental wall over her mind so she could concentrate.
*******~~~~~~
"SHIT!!!" Vegeta yelled out of nowhere causing his father, Ivan, Goku, and some others to stare at him strangely.
"What are you staring at?!" he barked at them making them all continue back to what they were doing.
~~~~~********
Bulma and Charlotte made their way back to the platform where two stands with buzzers now stood. They each stepped behind one and the next round started.
"Alright, first hand on the buzzer gets the question. Are you ready?" he explained as they both nodded their heads in response.
"What is the freezing point of water? (A/N: Sorry I can't think of really hard questions, I'm not going to search a textbook to find questions! Sorry again!)"
The freezing point of water?! What kind of easy shit is this?! Bulma thought quickly and slapped her hand down on the buzzer.
"Yes, Bulma."
"32 degrees F (A/N: hope you know what F stands for. And is that even right? I don't know, nor do I care!) and 0 degrees C (is that right either? I'm really tired as you can tell...I need caffeine!)"
"That's correct, 10 points for Bulma."
"Next question...Name all the Kings of Vegetasei." Charlotte brought her hand down on the buzzer...right after Bulma had already.
"Bulma."
"They're all named Vegeta."
"Good, 10 more points for you."
It went on like that for an hour and the score ended up being:
Charlotte: 0 Bulma: 350
"It's seems as though Bulma Briefs is the winner of this round!" he yelled to the audience. "Today is now over, if you will come back tomorrow it's going to be round 3! Please exit throught the ceiling or through the doors." the announcer ended as the audience started to leave.
Bulma and Charlotte went to the backroom and before they parted Charlotte whispered.
"Just wait, bitch, tomorrow's strength."
Bulma glared at her as she left. Chi-Chi walked up and handed Bulma a water bottle.
"Good job out there, you kicked her ass!" Chi-Chi replied.
"You mean she's going to kick my ass tomorrow! The final competition is strength..." Bulma answered.
"You need to rest up then!" Chi-Chi said leading her out of the backroom. They noticed that everyone in the crowd had already dispersed home. Chi-Chi led Bulma to her room though she didn't need the help, Chi-Chi just offered. Soon Chi-Chi left Bulma.
"Chi, where are you going?" she asked.
"i've got to see someone named Goku..." Chi-Chi said grinning widely then darted off. Bulma giggled softly then entered her room only to collapse on the bed though not fall asleep. She soon felt arms wrap around her and a warm body press against her back.
"Hey..." she greeted.
"Hey..." he whispered in her hair. Bulma turned around so she could face Vegeta, who was now only in a pair of boxers with her. He just kinda stared at her lovingly.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Before you said that you loved me...what is love?" he asked blushing from head to toe about 7 layers of red. Bulma smiled brightly at him.
"Love is a feeling you feel for someone or something. If you love someone you feel very good and close to them." she replied.
"But...what kinda love is what you told me? How do I know when I feel that?"
"That kinda love is everlasting between husband and wife, or mates as you call them here. You know it's love when you suddenly want to be around that person all the time, you hurt when they're sad, you're happy when they're happy, your world revolves around that person and what happens to them. You find yourself thinking about them all the time...and well that's about it. Besides the fact that the male could be really protective and possessive of the female from other males. Like the mating mark." she said outlining his muscles on his chest.
"So you love me? Like that?" he asked finally getting it.
"Yes, I do. I know it's an Earth word, but it's the same you feel for your mate." she said.
"Then I love you too...but how much do you love me?" he replied pulling her up against him.
"So much...I want to be your Queen and have your little heirs who will run around and call you daddy...I love you so much I would die for you. And that's possibly the farthest it goes, but I love you past that." she answered as he smirked and kissed her forehead.
"And I love you past that...little heirs? Possibly woman, you could at least say how many. One is enough."
"I want more than one."
"How many do you possible think you want before we have to start court cases on who would rule next?" Bulma giggled at the thought of Vegeta being in court.
"I don't know, how about we get started." she hinted and he kissed her up her neck.
"Ok." he said and they laid down on the bed.
So Vegeta has finally figured out what love is and how it feels. He he was starting to like the feeling, but he hasn't felt the near downside yet.

Tournament for Queen
Bulma woke up and stared at her surroundings. She, starting to think last night was just some sort of passion-filled dream, tried to get up till she felt a strong arm grasp around her waist pulling her back into his chest. Bulma grinned and snuggled back into him as he breathed ruffly in her hair. She giggled a bit then the memory of what had really occurred last night came flooding back to her and she gasped swiftly bringing her hand up to her collarbone right at the nook of her neck noticing the marking.
"What the hell are you some kinda vampire?!" she yelled slapping him upside the head. Vegeta glared at her and sat up his muscles stretching as he did. Bulma stared at him in awe as though he was a god. Does he have any fat on him? she thought as she noticed how muscular he actually was.
"You didn't seem to hate it last night." Vegeta replied causing Bulma to blush immensely.
"Why'd you bite me?" Vegeat smirked at her then moved his fingers slightly over the marking making her arousal for him worse.
"It is the mark the male gives to the female when they mate. That is a sign to others that you belong to me and it will never go away." he answered and Bulma raised an eyebrow.

"Then I'd have to kill him." Vegeat said then noticed the look on Bulma's face which read, 'That is so totally gross, couldn't you just beat him up?'. "Ok, listen woman, because I'm only going to explain this once..." Bula nodded for him to continue as she took his hands in hers. (A/N: Ok people I'm not going to tell the whole mates thing b/c you basically have memorized it by now!) Vegeta explained everything about mates, how they can telepathically speak, how they know what the other is feeling or thinking, and how they derive strength from each other.

"Before you said that you loved me...what is love?" he asked blushing from head to toe about 7 layers of red. Bulma smiled brightly at him.
"Love is a feeling you feel for someone or something. If you love someone you feel very good and close to them." she replied.
"But...what kinda love is what you told me? How do I know when I feel that?"
"That kinda love is everlasting between husband and wife, or mates as you call them here. You know it's love when you suddenly want to be around that person all the time, you hurt when they're sad, you're happy when they're happy, your world revolves around that person and what happens to them. You find yourself thinking about them all the time...and well that's about it. Besides the fact that the male could be really protective and possessive of the female from other males. Like the mating mark." she said outlining his muscles on his chest.
"So you love me? Like that?" he asked finally getting it.
"Yes, I do. I know it's an Earth word, but it's the same you feel for your mate." she said.
"Then I love you too...but how much do you love me?" he replied pulling her up against him.
"So much...I want to be your Queen and have your little heirs who will run around and call you daddy...I love you so much I would die for you. And that's possibly the farthest it goes, but I love you past that." she answered as he smirked and kissed her forehead.
"And I love you past that...little heirs? Possibly woman, you could at least say how many. One is enough."
"I want more than one."
"How many do you possible think you want before we have to start court cases on who would rule next?" Bulma giggled at the thought of Vegeta being in court.
"I don't know, how about we get started." she hinted and he kissed her up her neck.
"Ok." he said and they laid down on the bed.
So Vegeta has finally figured out what love is and how it feels. He he was starting to like the feeling, but he hasn't felt the near downside yet.
