Everyone says I love you

Chapter Thirteen: Glory of love (I know Misty!! Call it a change of plans) :)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Last time, on esily:

"This may sound crazy, but just listen." She told the blue haired woman, who merely nodded in response. "Yamcha is my brother. My father married Mandy's mom, despite the fact that Mandy was completely in love with Yamcha. Dad said that there was no way he was allowing his family to become disgraced by a brother and sister dating, even if there was no blood between them. So, he sent him to live with my aunt and uncle. THEY would be his "parents" that you met. Anyway, evidently, Yamcha's come up with this insane plan that he's going to win Dad's approval by being sneaky."

"How's he being sneaky, exactly?" Bulma interjected.

"Your dad owns Capsule Corp, doesn't he?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*Tonight it's very clear*~

Bulma visibly paled as the truth sunk in. Yamcha was using her for her capsules? She'd done all those horrible things to Goku over a lousy formula that you could find on the internet, provided you knew where to look of course... but still. The fire in her eyes sparked and ignited, their fiery blue depths simply coming alive from her fury.

"Bulma, I don't know if you want to hear it, but there's more."

"You're right.. I don't want to hear it.. But.. tell me anyway."

"I didn't know what was really going on until today. Mandy's pregnant. Or so she claims. And She says she's slept with Goku."

~*As we're both lying here*~

Bulma's blood froze in her veins for a moment, her heart seeming to momentarily stop breathing.

"W-what? She never.. Goku said they didn't.."

"I only know what I've been told from both Yamcha and Mandy... Not to mention there was that whole thing in the cafeteria. I'm just saying to be careful. I don't know Goku that well.. But, I know Mandy, and well, if she wants him badly enough, she'll get him. If she hasn't already."

"I.. I don't believe it." She stated, trying more to convince herself than the red haired girl beside her.

"I told you you didn't want to hear it."

"That's bullshit.. Goku would've told me if he'd slept with her, he would've!

"And you're probably right, but still.. She claims she's in love with Yamcha, and he's supposed to be great in bed.. But if she wants your Goku, she'll have him."

"Trust me on this one.. He's not."

"Who's not?"

"Yamcha's not that great in bed. Goku's better." She replied simply.

Misty's eyes widened at the startling revelation. Bulma had slept with Yamcha? How in Kami's name had Mandy allowed THAT to happen? Then.. A thought crossed her mind. Mandy didn't know.

~*There's so many things I wanna say*~

And then, the red headed step child smiled.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Goku?" Mandy called out as she crossed the dance floor, nearly panicking as she saw him talking to a blue haired female. It turned out to just be some girl that resembled Bulma. The looks were completely astounding, they were nearly identical! But, of course, if you got close enough, you could tell the two apart because of Maron's ditziness and vanity.

Mandy walked right in on the tail end of the conversation, catching only "You're dating? A BOY?! Explain girl, explain!" from Goku. When Maron opened her mouth to speak, however, she was rather rudely cut off.

~*I will always love you*~

"Goku! There you are! I've been looking all over for you! I need to talk to you!"

"What's wrong Mandy? You're kinda pale.." He cocked his head to the side as he looked at her, examining something on her neck.

"I need to talk to you.. ALONE." She snapped at Maron, who merely shot her a go to hell look, and walked away.

"Well, now we're alone, so tell." He spoke, his voice somehow different than before.

~*I will never leave you alone*~

"Goku... I.. I heard Bulma tell Yamcha she was pregnant. And that she wasn't going to tell you because you weren't responsible enough to be a father."

Goku stopped breathing for a moment, his blood turning icy in his veins.

~*Sometimes I just forget*~

Bulma?

pregnant?

his?

Despite checking the source of the information like he should've, Goku merely snapped. He pushed Mandy roughly aside, never once noticing the triumphant smirk that graced the corruptive little female's face.

~*Say things I might regret*~

He scanned the area for her, his vision nothing but red. After several moments, he still hadn't seen her, and had nearly convinced himself that she had run off, especially since that idiot Yamcha was nowhere around.

Yamcha..

One thing would happen to him, of that Son Goku was sure.

He would die.

~*It breaks my heart to see you cryin*~

Or come as close to it as possible.

He turned around sharply as someone called his name, recognizing the voice even from across the room.

"Goku!" Bulma called to him, her voice cheerful.

"Don't you have something to tell me?" He hissed once he was close enough to speak without shouting.

~*I don't want to lose you*~

"Excuse me?"

"Mandy Told me.. she.. told me what you said.."

"And what might that be?" Bulma asked, genuinely confused.

"About the baby.."

~*I could never make it alone*~

"WHAT baby?"

"Don't play dumb, Bulma! Kami.. how COULD you not tell me?" He snapped, tears brimming his already red eyes.

"How could I what? Look, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.. but whatever she said to you, you can't believe."

"You would say that... Just stay away from me." He spat, before stalking away from her quickly.

~*'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor*~

"GOKU!" She called to him, making many passersby stop to stare.

Goku didn't turn around.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Think he bought it?"

~*I'll be the hero that you're dreamin of*~

"Hook, line, and sinker. I just hope he's the only one she's had sex with.. otherwise he might go looking for the other person, ya know." Mandy asked as she leaned in to kiss Yamcha.

"Yeah..." he mumbled, the thought evidently crossing his mind for the first time. "Fuck fuck fuck.." he cursed to himself, realization dawning upon him that HE was the other man..

"What's wrong, sweetheart? You got awful tense all of the sudden."

"It's.. nothing. I just don't like all this lying, you know?"

~*Gonna live forever, knowing together*~

"Am I worth it or not? Daddy needs that formula, and if we give it to him, then we can be together without hiding."

"And you know I want that more than anything else in the world.. but I don't wanna hurt them either! We're doing the same thing to them that he's doing to us! They can't help it who they love.. just like we can't either!" He explained softly as he pulled her closer.

"She doesn't deserve him!" Mandy protested, before glancing nervously toward the people milling about inside. "We should go back in before anyone sees us."

"What's it matter if they do? I thought you weren't ashamed of us, babe..." Yamcha replied, obviously hurt.

~*That we did it all for the Glory of Love*~

"Yeah, well, that was then." She shot back, before standing to leave.

"What're you talking about?"

"Maybe this was just a mistake, Yamcha.. Maybe I want.."

"You want him." He spat out, surprising her.

~*You keep me standing tall*~

"It's not like that.. There's just something about him. He's. like a magnet, you know."

"No, I don't know. And to think I was so close to Bulma, and I couldn't even touch her."

"I wouldn't say that, Yamcha." A voice from behind them spoke. They both whirled around to face the eavesdropper, only to find none other than Bulma.

"W..whaddya mean?" Yamcha stuttered.

~*You help me through it all*~

"Well, if you'd like, we can go ask Goku," She shot a dirty look at Mandy, who launched herself at the petite blue haired girl.

"You crazy bitch! How DARE you insinuate that my Yamcha would so much as touch you!!" She cried as she grabbed a handful of the other woman's hair.

"Yamcha, either you tell her the truth, or I'll make sure you live to regret it" She called into the night, before ramming a fist into Mandy's face, breaking her perfect nose.

Mandy cried out in pain, and glanced toward Yamcha to help her, only to find him by Bulma's side instead.

~*I'm always strong when you're beside me*~

"Yamcha.. why?" Bulma questioned as she wiped a small streak of blood from her lip.

"For love..." he murmured as he helped her to her feet.

"Yamcha.. I love Goku. And now, I've lost him.. I don't know what she did.. but I lost him.. and without him, I don't know what I'll do."

"Love knows no boundaries, no distance, no fear."* He replied, before releasing her and walking toward the furious Mandy. "Go to him, explain.. I'll.. I'll tell him in a minute what happened.. All of it..." He replied as he helped Mandy to her feet and away from where they'd been standing.

~*I have always needed you*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Goku?" Bulma asked meekly as she entered the hotel room four floors above the banquet hall.

"You never listen." He replied as he shot around to face her. He'd gone from mad to hurt.. His eyes showing the extent of the pain.

"Goku.. just.. tell me what I did and I'll make it better. Please."

"You know what it was, Bulma.. and I know what it was.. and I still love you. Can we just put it past us? I know you don't love me, I know that, I'm learning to deal with it.. But couldn't you just try.. Please? I swear, if I ever hurt you you can leave. I swear..." His voice broke as he spoke, and he had to reach a hand up to steady himself on the wall.

~*I could never make it alone*~

"But Goku.."

"No buts.. I can't handle a but right now."

"Goku.. you don't understand."

"I DO understand.. you don't think I'm ready.. But I am! And if I'm not, I'll get ready! I can!. I know I can!! All I'm asking for is a chance... Just one..."

~*'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor*~

"Goku"

"Bulma, I understand..."

"Goku, I love you."

"I know you're not ready for.. WHAT THE HELL?" He screeched upon hearing the words.

~*I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of*~

"You heard me. I love YOU. Not Yamcha, not Vegeta.. Not anyone else. YOU."

"Me?" He asked as he pointed to himself.

"Of course you! Who else would I be talking to?"

"But.. what about the baby?" He questioned softly as he lowered his eyes from her.

~*Gonna live forever knowing together*~

"What baby?" She asked in reply, obviously confused.

"Our baby.."

"Um.. Goku? I'm not pregnant! Where in Kami's name did you get THAT idea?"

Goku paled.

~*That we did it all*~

"Mandy said.. She said you told Yamcha you were pregnant, but didn't wanna tell me...."

"For Kami's sake, Goku! I don't even think I'd be pregnant enough to know!! Not to mention I certainly would've told you if I was! You should know me better than that!"

"Oh shit.. I fucked up, didn't I?"

"Something like that." She replied, before leaning in to kiss him.

"Is this a bad time?" Yamcha questioned from the door.

~*For the glory of love*~

Goku's head snapped up and his face curled up in a vicious snarl.

"Goku! Stop! Yamcha's got a bit of explaining to do, and I for one, want to hear the WHOLE story."

"Tell him to hurry." Goku purred into her ear, rather seductively.

"Really, I can come back later if you want..."

~*It's like a knight in shining armor*~

"NO!" Bulma cried as she pushed Goku away. The man flashed her an exasperated look before taking his place at the room's small table.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Thirty Minutes later...

"Mandy's your WHAT?" Goku cried, obviously shocked.

"My step sister.. and my girlfriend."

~*From a long time ago*~

"Well, that's a new one.. Can't help who you love, I suppose."

"You're right about that one.." The other man replied, before shaking his head slightly. "I'm just sorry I did that to you, Bulma. I just.. I can't live without her. She's.. everything to me. And Goku.. I'm sorry for what I've done to you, too. I've acted like a complete idiot, and I shouldn't have."

"Hey man, Love is like a chocolate bar... there are people that do some pretty crazy stuff for it... Myself included. I know how it feels to love someone. And trust me, I know how badly it hurts too. I just hope you and Mandy can work things out. Kami knows you're perfect for each other." Goku laughed, genuinely for once.

"I know I can never make it up to you.. but please, if you ever need anything, let me know."

~*Just in time I'll save the day*~

"Will do.. Now, I don't mean to rush you.. But I've got something to do that I should've done a long time ago." Bulma answered, her eyes set directly on Goku.

Yamcha gulped once before saying his goodbyes, for once relieved that he didn't have to hide anything. Of course, there was still the little matter of sleeping with Bulma.. Kami help him if Mandy ever found out.

Just then, a screech resounded down the hallway. "YAMCHA DID WHAT??!"

And then, he began to pray.

~*Take you to my castle far away*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Goku glanced at her wordlessly for a moment, taking in her full beauty. She honestly did look like an angel. Not merely AN angel.. HIS angel.. An angel of mercy..

"Kami you're beautiful." he whispered gently, before pulling her into his arms.

"Goku.." She moaned, her words muffled a bit by his toned chest.

~*I am the man who will fight for your honor*~

"Shh.. no talking..."

He took her gently into his arms, carried her to the bed and laid her there, pausing only momentarily to lock the door before climbing in next to her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*LEMON!!! But, it's nothing TOO graphic.. Doesn't exceed the R rating!!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~*I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of*~

Both sets of hands ran across the others bodies, uninhibited. Though their first time had been incredible, this was to hold more meaning... To be the first time they actually made love.

Goku ran his tongue lightly across her collarbone, down to the tops of her half exposed breasts. He suckled lightly above the top of her dress for a moment, before becoming restless, and reaching a hand up to fiddle with the laces that held her chest firmly within her dress. After only a moment of frustrating failures, he finally figured the trick out, and slid the dress gently down her body.

"Gorgeous.." He breathed, his eyes roaming over her nearly nude body.

~*Gonna live forever knowing together*~

Bulma shifted uncomfortably under his gaze, stopping only when his head descended to take her lips in his.

She worked the buttons of his shirt expertly as they kissed, his hands roaming lightly over her sides.

~*That we did it all for the glory of love*~

"Bulma..." He moaned out, igniting the steadily growing fire in her belly. He reached a hand down to her panties, taking what seemed like an eternity to remove the offending garment.

"Goku.. now.. please?" She whispered softly, her voice nothing more than a low purr.

"What's this? The little Princess doesn't like to play the game when the tables are turned, eh? Very well then."

~*I am the man who will fight for your honor*~

"Goku... This isn't fair!"

"Shhh.. Just relax, Bulma." he mumbled into her ear, sending a sharp shiver down her spine. She gave an exaggerated sigh, before lying back and enjoying the feel of his hands as they roamed over her tiny body.

"You are so beautiful, do you know that?" He asked as he took in her naked form.

~*I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of*~

Bulma blushed slightly, before saving herself from further embarrassment by pulling him down into a deep kiss. When they parted, both were shocked to find that Goku had worked his way between her legs, but it was more than enough sign as to what was supposed to happen.

He hastily stripped his clothes away, revealing a perfectly sculpted body.

Bulma's eyes pleaded with his own for a moment, and he gave a small laugh before positioning himself above her.

"You do still want this, right?" He asked softly, as he ran a finger across her flat stomach.

~*Gonna live forever*~

"I want it more than I've ever wanted anything else before." She replied, and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Good." Was his only reply.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

All that could be heard in the small hotel suite were the small grunts of a man that had finally found what he'd wanted as long as he could remember, and the strangled cries of a woman that had finally found where she belonged.

Just as her orgasm neared, Bulma let out a small shriek, and threw her head back, and Goku closed his eyes, each seemingly preparing for the onslaught that was to come. Goku's excruciatingly slow pace left nothing to be desired, and soon, Bulma opened her mouth to cry out, but changed her mind at the last moment.

As the waves of pleasure washed over her, Bulma did what seemed to be the most natural thing in the world. She leaned her head up and breathed into his ear, managing to choke three words out before her voice left her.

"I love you..."

And those were the words that send Son Goku tumbling over the edge behind her.

:"Kami, I love you too... I love you so much..." He moaned softly into her ear

~*Knowing together*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*END OF LEMON!!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They laid like that for what seemed like forever, before Goku finally found his voice, and asked the question whose answer scared him more than anything in the world.

"Bulma.. You.. you won't be gone when I wake up, will you? I... I don't know if I could take you leaving again..." He murmured into her hair, and prayed silently that she would say she'd stay.

"Goku.. I.. You're not getting rid of me that easily." She replied, nearly laughing aloud as he let out the breath he'd been holding in one long woosh.

"Why?" He whispered. "Why me? I don't deserve you..."

"Goku.. I don't deserve you. And well, as to why you.... No matter what I try to tell myself, I keep hearing different from everyone else."

"What's that?" Goku asked, his nose crinkled slightly in his confusion.

"Everyone Says I love you." She replied before cuddling into his side and falling asleep, contented smiles tugging at the corners of their mouths....

~*That we did it all for the glory of love*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

*Sobs* That's it!! It's done!! *still sobbing* Who else can't believe it? I mean.. Esily.. over.. *dies*

Lol, not to worry though.. There are actually two side fics, both one shots, that go with this, not to mention endings are always good for sequels, if you catch my drift. So.... for the last time, R/R, and lemme know what you think about the ending! Oh! And don't forget to tell me what you think about a sequel.

Love you guys! And thank you so much for sticking around through everything! You have NO idea how much it means to me!

Till next time!!
