Chapter 5

Bed Time

Later that night the two could be found in the single bedroom of the capsule house.

"Girl, are you aware there is only one futon?" Vegeta yelled at Bulma whom was rummaging through the small closet.

"Yes I am," she said "And don't you even think about it, cause you are sleeping on the floor," she said tossing a blanket and pillow at him.

"Don't be stupid there is no way in hell I will lower myself to sleeping on the floor when there is a perfectly suitable bed. You sleep on the floor," he demanded.

She stood in the bathroom brushing her shoulder length hair. "Look buddy you should be thankful I'm letting you stay here at all. It's a privilege to be in the presence of such a beautiful girl." He just snorted and plopped down on the bed.  "I wouldn't know"

"So anyways" she growled, ignoring his comment, "was it just you all alone up there?"

He glared up at her, "Why do you care?"

"Sheesh touchy I just wanted to know," she said putting her hands up in defense.

"Well not that it's any of your business, but I have been alone for 10 years now."

"What? But you had to have been just a little kid then? What happened to your parents?"

He seemed to flinch at this, "I didn't live with them there. I lived with some old man, Gohon, that had found me there, the dragon ball, as you call it, belonged to him. As well as this staff" he said pointing to where it lay on the floor.

"So are you saying your parents just abandoned you in the mountains? They probably abandoned you because you had a tail!"

"Of course not! My father did not abandon me! And he probably would have had I not had a tail!"

"What are you talking about? Its not normal to have a tail!" she yelled.

"Maybe not for you" he snarled.

She blushed lightly, "Maybe guys really do have tails, I'd never actually seen a naked guys butt before. I mean I knew that they had something up front but…"

"Whatever are you thinking about woman?" he growled at her, noticing how red her face was becoming.

"Uh nothing" she laughed embarrassed.

"So uh what else to you have in that pack of yours, did the old man give you that too?" she asked walking over and picking up the small pack he had brought. He snatched it from her in an instant, "Do not touch that woman!"

She pouted, crossing her arms, "Damn your awfully touchy. Just let me see what's in it!" she said grabbing for it again. In his attempt to keep it from her the bag dropped to the bed spilling its contents. The dragon ball rolled out followed by a blue and silver pendant on a long chain and a small chip of something white.

"Clumsy girl!"  Vegeta growled, going to retrieve the items.

However, Bulma quickly grabbed them up. She furrowed her brow in confusion at the articles in her hands. "What is this?" she asked holding up the small chip of what appeared to be some sort of armor.

"How dare you," he growled pulling it from her grasp and plopping down on the bed in an attempt to grab the necklace as well.

"Well what is it?" she asked curiously.

He looked up at her and his eyes seemed almost sad. "It is the royal insignia of Vegetasei. Now hand over the pendant."

"Why should I? I rather like it," she giggled slipping the large chain over her head. And what is Vegetasei anyways? It sounds an awful lot like your name I think your making that up."

"Vegetasei is my home...pl…my home." He quickly caught himself; deciding it would not be a good idea to tell the little wench he was not of this world. "And that" he said pointing to the pendant, "Belonged to my father."

She cocked an eyebrow at him, "Your father had a necklace?"

"Stupid girl that is a royal heirloom not fit for a lowly creature such as yourself," he snarled grasping the chain around her neck. "Now give it here or do I have to wring your neck with it."

She cocked a eyebrow at him, and leaned closer, so he couldn't choke her, " If it's a "royal' heirloom then why do you have it?"

He growled under his breath in irritation, "You must really be stupid girl, my father was king of Vegetasei, and I am the crown prince of all saiyans. Can you possibly understand that?"

"No way" she gasped. He couldn't really be a prince, could he? "If you're a prince then why were you living in that tiny little shack?"

"Why do I need to explain anything to you girl? You're obviously too dense to understand now hand over the necklace". He pulled her closer with the chain, "Do not think I will hesitate to kill you, I do not under any circumstances have any need for you."

Bulma gasped, not due to the death threat but because she was a mere inch away from his face. So very close that she could feel his breath tickling her lips and she shivered. A blush spread across her face as she noticed that she was practically in his lap by now.

Vegeta noticed her change in demeanor and nearly blushed himself when he realized the position they were in. But instead of a blush a smirk spread across his face. "Well, well little one I think you are enjoying this. Instead of fearing my death threats I think you are intrigued." He leaned closer to her and brushed his lips to hers ever so slightly. He pulled back lightly a wide smirk on his face. He still had not let go of the pendant. And she found that she could not move.

V…Vegeta, she breathed out nervously.

"What's the matter little one, don't you want to play?" he growled lightly.

She laughed nervously she had never been in this sort of position with a guy before, and she couldn't say she didn't like it. "Um Vegeta do you want your necklace back now?" she whispered nervously, she couldn't think of much else to say and she silently cursed herself. She must have sounded so stupid.

His smirk dropped lightly, but then quickly returned to grace his handsome features. "No you wear it, it makes a good collar for you, my little bitch."

"You Bastard!" she yelled reaching back to smack him but he deftly caught her hand.

"Now, now little one you shouldn't disobey your master," he growled in her ear.

"I am not your slave you prick, now let me go!" she half yelled, half pleaded. He was really starting to scare her. That'll teach you to drag strangers along with you Bulma, she silently scolded herself.

He suddenly let her go and she dropped to the bed. She instantly scooted as far away from him as she could. "You bastard how dare you! You stay away from me, or I'll do something quite unpleasant to certain portions of your anatomy later!"

She found that he was no longer smirking and she looked into his eyes nervously.

"What did you think I was going to do girl, rape you?" he asked sounding appalled.

Her look confirmed that that was precisely what she had been thinking. He moved towards her once again but the closer he came the farther away she moved until she found herself against the wall. The damned bed just had to be pressed against the wall, she silently cursed to herself. He placed his hands on either side of her head and kneeled before her. She refused to turn away and stared at him with cold eyes. He leaned forward and nipped her nose lightly. "Do not be afraid of me little one, I would never take you against your will. A prince of the saiyan has more honor than that."

The statement seemed to calm her slightly so he pulled back a little. He reached forward again and slipped the necklace over her head. "Can't have you breaking this you clumsy little fool," he growled moving to place it with his things. She watched him warily from her place on the bed and moved to stand up. "Vegeta," she began cautiously, "You keep saying you are a prince of the saiyan but I've never heard of those people."

He glared down at her, "Of course not."

"Well then would you tell me about your people? I mean what country are they from?" she questioned.

He placed a finger to her lips, "You ask to many questions girl" he growled picking her up suddenly and tossing her on the bed. She blinked up at him as he lay down on the bed next to her pulling the covers over them both. "Sleep now little one, maybe I will tell you someday."

And so the two slept.
