I reposted this chapter because it hadn't even shown up when I posted it yesterday, so basically I'm just trying to get it some more coverage.

*~*~~*~*

In her quest for the seven dragon balls that will grant her fondest wish, Bulma has enlisted the help of a strange but handsome young man named Vegeta. What adventures await our two heroes today? Stay tuned for the exciting chapter 4 of "Bloomers and the Monkey King!"

CHAPTER 4

BATHTIME

~*~*~*~*

A small motorcycle could be seen speeding along in the dim evening light along a dusty rural road.

Bulma sped along on her motorcycle Vegeta set upon the back his arms wrapped loosely about her waist.

"Hey girl", he growled in her ear, "I'm hungry."

"Yah me too, plus its getting dark I guess we better stop somewhere for the night. Bulma glanced around as she drove and soon spied a large flat expanse of field. She pulled the cycle to a stop and hopped off, " Ah this spot should do nicely.

She heard a low growl behind her. She spun around only to run straight into Vegeta's rock hard chest. If you think…that I will lower myself to sleeping on the ground" he growled, "then you are sorely mistaken."

  She just laughed flippantly at him. "Don't be stupid! Do you think a delicate girl like myself would dare sleep on the ground?"

"Well I certainly don't see any houses, and don't tell me your gonna pop a house out of those little things!" he said, eyeing her skeptically as she dug through her capsules.

"Please, they're hoi poi capsules" she said as she deployed the capsule.

Bulma entered the capsule house, Vegeta following close behind. As she flipped the lights on, Vegeta's eyes widened slightly. It seemed that it had been an eternity since he had been in a real dwelling that had any sort of technological conveniences. Bulma noticed his expression and laughed at him, "Don't tell me you don't know what electricity is either!" she scoffed.

"Of course I do! Don't be stupid!" he yelled.

"Humph, well it wouldn't have surprised me if you didn't, what with you living in the back ends of nowhere and all," she said walking up to him and poking him in the chest. "Ugh what is that smell?" she said fanning the air with her hand. She glared at him accusingly, "You had better take a bath before we eat! You're stinking up the joint!"

He let out a low guttural growl.

"What is it with you are you some sort of animal? Come on your getting a bath" she said shoving him towards the bathroom."

When he just stood there she snarled at him.

 "Now who's the animal?" he smirked back."

"Look you will get nothing to eat until you have had a shower, understand?"

He just smirked widely at her and began stripping away his clothes. "Ahh", she screamed, quickly turning around, "You could at least wait till I wasn't looking!"

"Feh, you should be honored to witness such a sight," he smirked. She growled and spun around forgetting that the man before her was nude. Her face turned blood red, he really was even better then he had looked at the river. Her view was obscured as she suddenly found his dirty shirt upon her head. "Ugh" she growled throwing it across the room, "What a stench." She looked up again to be graced with his backside. "Hey baka what's with that furry belt anyways, that's so tacky!" she said pointing to the furry apparatus about his waist. He looked over his shoulder at her and gave her a funny look

 Her eyes widened considerably as the furry appendage suddenly unfurled and waved about behind him in a tantalizing manner. "You…you have a tail!" she screamed.

He just looked at her like she was dumb.

"Oh I get it, its fake! Why the hell would you attach that to your butt?" She said walking over and pulling on it, now seemingly oblivious of his nudity. "Damn what did you do glue it on?" she growled giving it a hard yank. He pulled his tail from her grasp, "Girl what the hell do you think you're doing!" he yelled spinning around to face her.

"I was… just um," she said trying her very best to keep her gaze steady with his. "Well I was trying to take it off!"

Vegeta's eyes widened in a horrified expression and he stepped back slightly, cradling his tail in his hands as if to keep it safe from the apparently crazy female, "Why the hell would you want to cut off my tail! It's not a fake you stupid girl!"

Th…then you really do have a tail?" she mumbled in shock.

"Of course don't be stupid! It's a part of my heritage! It's the one thing that reminds me that I am NOT one of you. Now if you don't want to watch I suggest you vacate the room."

Bulma blushed and quickly fled the small bathroom.

"One of…us?" What did he mean by that? She wondered to herself as she sat at the kitchen table slowly sipping on a cup of coffee. She heard the sound of the door slamming and she glanced up to see Vegeta walking towards the table completely nude. Kami be damned! Did the boy have no sense of modesty! But then again daaaaaamn did he have a body. She was beginning to consider changing her wish. I mean what do I need with a perfect boyfriend when I've found this?

"What the hell are you staring at girl!" he snarled, feeling slightly uncomfortable under her scrutiny.

"Oh you are such a jerk!" She spun around so that she was facing the wall. That's right he was an asshole, a hot one but an asshole nonetheless.

He just smirked and sat down across from her. "Well girl where's the food?"

She was getting very annoyed with him, "It will be done in a minute have some patience!"

He just sat across the table smirking wickedly at her. Oh yes, he would pay her back for grabbing his tail.
