Chapter 5
{3 months later}
Bulma yawned as she put the finishing touches to her new computer chip. Her mind wandered to the past two months. The stubborn prince had been missing for two months and she had no clue where he was. *I can't believe he didn't have the decency to even tell me.* Bulma pouted at this thought. Truth be known, she had missed the midget and his constant demands, Now it felt like she had too much free time on her hands, which she hated. So she created more work for herself during the past three months, throwing herself into different projects with her father. She had all but forgotten the stubborn prince, until today. Bulma felt as though she no longer knew him anymore, what with him being absent for so long.
She shrugged her shoulders and looked at the clock on the wall. *Two in the morning?! I must have been working so hard I lost track of time.* She heard her stomach growling and realised the only thing she had eaten that day was an apple. The past three months had been so time consuming that she had rarely anytime to eat in the day, she was also very sleep deprived. Her break-up with Yamcha was final, and she refused to let her loneliness surface. She stood up wearily turning off the lights heading out the building slowly. Enjoying the peacefulness, she locked the door and began slowly walking back towards the main building, ignoring the cramping she was getting in her stomach, *Must be pms.*
Vegeta smirked at his new found achievement. *Finally a Super-Saiyin. Kakkarot, you no longer hold power over me,* he chuckled evilly at this thought. The last three months had been long and gruelling and intense, yet he finally managed to become the Legendary. And he had also made an important discovery, which he would benefit from. Smirking at this new informtion, Vegeta was finally beginning to feel a weight lift from his shoulders.
He finally reached his destination-Capsule Corp-touching down he looked at the building he had been calling his home for the past year. He scanned the area noting that everything was in order, when his eye caught the laboratory. He watched as the lights switched off and out stepped the loud- mouthed onna, locking the door behind her. He narrowed his eyes, she looked different somehow. He could tell that she had lost a lot of weight, as now her clothes hung off her body. But something else was also different, when looked upon in a close manner, Vegeta could see the vibrant fire in her eyes was all but gone, and were now dull and glassed over. *What is wrong with the onna? She seems so different. Not that I should care*
"Bulma?" A voice brought Vegeta back from his thoughts and he saw Bulma's father standing before her. Fading back into the shadows Vegeta sat on the moist grass watching the exchange between father and daughter, waiting for the right opportunity to join the pair.
Bulma looked up to see her father standing in front of her. Smiling sleepily she greeted her father, "Hi daddy.." She said softly in a child- like manner. She missed those carefree days very much, "Everything alright?"
"No actually Bulma, everything is not alright." He father said in an accusing yet gentle tone.
Bulma sighed, "What's wrong dad?"
"Bulma, your mother and I are very worried about you. Do you know that?"
Bulma rolled her eyes, "Why should you be? Everything is fine." Bulma didn't even have the energy to defend herself and so only allowed herself to give limited answers.
"Baby-girl, what are you doing to yourself? Ever since you and Yamcha have broken up and Vegeta left, you've slowly changed." Vegeta's ear's pricked up as he heard his name being mentioned.
"Daddy, honestly, I'm fine, see?" Bulma gave her father the widest smile she could, but soon realised it looked too forced.
Dr. Briefs started stating her apparent changes to Bulma quietly, and all was heard by the Saiya-jin Prince. "Look at you Bulma, you've lost so much weight, you have dark circles under your eyes from sleep deprivation, you're obviously not eating and... Where's my feisty baby girl I love and miss so much?" His voice was pained, he hated to see his only child so broken. "You've gone into depression Bulma, and you don't even realise it."
Bulma's shoulders slumped, defeated. "I know I've been working hard lately daddy, I just do it to keep my mind off things."
Dr. Briefs was beginning to get angry now, "For the love of Kami, Bulma! It's two in the morning and you've even forgotten the important board meeting tomorrow! I need you at your best. And this certainly isn't it." He hated saying this, but she needed to get a reality check.
His harsh words stung Bulma as she realised this meeting was the one thing that she was most needed for, and it was in less than six hours! She gasped at the realisation, "Dad, I'm so sorry! Don't worry, I'll be ready for tomrrow, I promise.." Bulma's voice trailed off as she saw the expression on her father's face.
"NO. You will not be present at tomorrow's meeting. You will stay at home and you WILL rest and eat everything your mother gives to you. From now on, the lab is off-limits to you, until you have fully recovered. I will just have to cancel tomorrow's meeting, but you will NOT attend it. Do I make myself clear?!" His voice was beginning to rise with anger and frustration. His tone showed that there was no room for argument in this discussion.
Bulma bowed her head down and said quietly, "Crystal clear."
Satisfied, Dr. Briefs kissed the top of Bulma's head, "Now, go to bed and get some rest ok? Good night pumpkin." He turned to back to the main building
"Goodnight Father.." Bulma mumbled as she watched her father's figure retreat back to the building. She could not argue, never did he raise his voice at her, and for once, she couldn't fight back. She was too tired, emotionally and physically. Suddenly she felt the cramping pain in her stomach again, she grasped her sides and doubled over at the immense pain.
Vegeta was surprised at the old man's harsh tone, but soon realised why he was behaving in such a way. Never had he seen the old man raise his voice, especially at the fiery onna. But now watching the pair he saw that Bulma didn't argue back, or didn't have the strength to. He saw the old man begin to walk away when he noticed the pained expression on the onna's face. He frowned as he saw her crumple to the floor. Standing up slowly Vegeta made his way to the onna on the floor to see what was wrong. Not realising it could have been anything remotely serious.
Bulma gasped at the pain, now hyperventilating, she clutched her sides trying to rid some of the pain, she finally got enough strength to scream out for her father. "DAD!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. She slipped back into an unconcious state, oblivious to what was happening around her.
Dr. Briefs and Vegeta heard Bulma scream out in pain and both were quickly at her side. Startled by Vegeta's sudden appearence, he stood still in shock at the sight of his unconcious daughter.
"Old man, don't just stand there. The onna needs medical attention, now." Vegeta practically barked at the old man. Growling at his lack of attention, Vegeta scooped up the onna and began to fly to the nearest medical building, leaving Dr. Briefs in his shocked state, to go back into the house to inform his wife and to pack some of Bulma's belongings, he knew Vegeta would take her to the nearest hospital.
Vegeta flew as fast as he could. He looked down at the woman in arms and his expression softened, if only a little. He gazed intently at her features and saw her begin to awaken and stir in his arms. Vegeta smirked at some of the things he heard her mumble in her half unconcious state. "Warmmanstrongfuzzybunniesdaffodilschocolateyumfatdielonelypaingoneve- getayamchalonelyolddaddypissedlonelyworklonely.." Vegeta's smirk started to fade as her comments became serious instead of funny. He saw her start to wake up properly, as she tried to focus on his face. All he heard was his name before she fell unconcious for the second time.
Bulma moaned, still in obvious pain. She felt strong arms around her and looked up trying to focus on the face before her. She peered up into cold onyx eyes and breathed, "Vegeta.." With this she fell unconcious again.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It turned out that the pain Bulma was experiencing was from the lack of food she had been getting. This was what the doctor's had said to Vegeta, as they took care of Bulma. Knowing that the onna would be fine, Vegeta turned and left to get some much needed rest. He had to defeat Kakkarot and get off of this mud ball planet. Vegeta smirked at his new found discovery, all was not lost for the Saiya-jin race afterall. Yet at the back of his mind he couldn't rid himself of nagging thoughts about Bulma. *The onna looked awful...* Shaking the thoughts from his head, Vegeta started scolding himself *Kuso! I'm becoming one of those baka weaklings.*
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bulma slowly opened her eyes to the harsh lights of the room. *Man it feels like I was hit by a friggin train..Where am I?* Slowly Bulma started to painfully sit up. She was in a bed, but it wasn't her house, or any place she knew. The room was totally foreign to her, she could tell it wasn't a hospital room, they were normally white. This room was beautifully decorated, fit for a king. The walls were painted royal blue, the bed she was on was large enough to fit four people in, yet it was gorgeously carved from oak and she was surrounded in baby blue silk covers. On the right hand side of the room there was a dressing table and a closet, also made from oak. Even though there were limited items in the room, the beauty could not be denied.
Bulma frowned "What in the world is going on.." She said out loud to herself. She decided to get out of bed and take a look around. As she stood up she realised she was in different clothing. She was dressed in a floor length ice blue silk gown. *This is getting weirder by the minute* Bulma then decided that she must be in some parallel universe, or in a coma. Chuckling at the stupidity of the thought, she hobbled towards the door but just as she opened it a voice called out from the shadows in the corner of the room.
"Took you enough time to come around onna." A gruff voice called out from the darkness.
Bulma gasped and spun around to where she heard the voice, "Vegeta!!" Clutching her heart she tried to catch her breath back. "Bakayaro, don't do that! You scared the crap out of me-" Bulma stopped mid-sentence as she saw an unfamiliar look cross Vegeta's face.
"Be quiet onna. I will no longer tolerate your insubordination, got that?"
Bulma picked up on the menacing tone in Vegeta's voice and gulped. "Wh- Where are we Vegeta?" Bulma asked in an uncertain tone, not sure whether she wanted an answer to her question.
Vegeta smirked, but this time there was a hint of evil in it. "I have been waiting for this for a long time, onna." Chuckling evilly, Vegeta took a step towards Bulma.
Instinctively she took a step back, no longer bothering to hide her apparent fear of Vegeta at this moment. "Tell me Vegeta.. Please?" Bulma looked to him with pleading eyes, right now she felt too vulnerable to play 'tough chick' and she hated feeling so afraid. She then caught the lines in Vegeta's face and his eyes soften slightly for a milli-second and her heart caught in her throat. *Something's very wrong. One minute he's psycho Vegeta, and the next he softens up. I just don't get this guy. I swear he's gone insane. Maybe letting him use the Gravity Room was a mistake..* Bulma's thoughts were interrupted by his harsh voice.
"Planet Earth and all its inhabitants have been destroyed." He stated proudly, standing in his usual pose. "Aside from you, of course." He smirked as he saw a look of horror cross her face.
Bulma froze as his words sunk in, quietly she replied, "Th-That's not funny Vegeta. Please don't joke like that again."
Vegeta frowned, *So the onna chooses not to believe me, well I'll soon make her believe.* "Listen onna. I turned into the Legendary, my training paid off. I couldn't stand that mud ball of a planet so I blew it up. End of story"
Bulma looked up to Vegeta with sorrow filled eyes. "What about Goku and the rest of the fighters? Did they try and stop you?"
"They tried, and they failed. As you can see."
Putting a hand to her mouth Bulma raced past Vegeta into the connecting bathroom and retched into the toilet. "How-How could you?" Bulma said between retching, as she saw Vegeta follow her into the bathroom. *No, this can't be happening! He's supposed to be good, not evil! Oh Kami, how could I have ever thought he had changed... My friends, my poor poor friends.. Yamcha, I'm so sorry. I've let you down.. Goku, not even you could stop him..* Suddenly a thought hit her. "If you destroyed earth, then where are we now?" She said in an almost whisper, whilst slowly washing her mouth out to get rid of the disgusting taste.
Vegeta sneered, "We are in space onna. On one of my royal space crafts." Vegeta savoured the surprised look that flew across Bulma's face.
"Huh? What are you talking about Vegeta?" Bulma was almost scared to ask. *Crap, he has gone completely bonkers*
Vegeta chuckled, he was going to have fun explaining to the onna his new found discovery. "Well onna, to cut a long story short, I have regained my Saiya-jin race and the planet Vegeta-sei, so-"
"What?" Bulma cried out, interrupting Vegeta.
"QUIET!" Bulma whimpered at the harshness of his voice. He tried to calm himself down and lowered his voice slightly. "I will not be interrupted! As I was saying, when I was in space and I was training, a thought came to me. If I defeated Kakkarot then I could use the dragonballs to revive my people and planet. So you see, this gave me enough motive to become Super Saiya-jin and destroy Kakkarot."
Vegeta paused reliving the moment he defeated Kakkarot in battle. It was glorious to him, and now nothing was holding him back from becoming supreme ruler of the universe. He looked towards Bulma and something in his chest tightened. He saw the pained expression she held on her face and tried his best to ignore it. "After my wishes were completed I destroyed the pathetic planet. We will now be returning to Vegeta-sei, where I shall be crowned King in three months."
Bulma shook from the news she recieved. "I see.. I always knew you were a power driven egotistical maniac, but.." She whispered trailing off, scared at what would happen to her. Curiosity got the better of her, "You murdered everyone whom I loved and destroyed my home planet." Bulma's voice cracked but she continued nonetheless, "Why keep me alive?" Bulma wanted to die right there and then. She found a new hate for Vegeta, one she couldn't describe. She was still in shock, from everything that had been told to her.
"For technological purposes. You are the only one who can help advance the technology on my planet." Vegeta said flatly, although he knew there was another purpose to keeping her alive, he just didn't want to admit it.
Finally the realisation sunk into Bulma, *Kami, I'm going to be nothing but a slave..* She felt a sob catch in her throught and tears sting her eyes. All her pain from before was long forgotten. This pain was far worse than any physical pain she felt. Her legs gave way and she fell to the floor, all of her heartache came pouring out now. She cried like she never had before in her life, for the loss of her loved ones and possibly for the loss of Vegeta's renewed soul.
Vegeta froze as he saw Bulma fall to the floor and start to cry. Once again he felt a tightening in his chest, but he refused to acknowledge it. "Onna, get up. Stop acting so weak and childish."
Fury over came Bulma at his words and she stood up screaming with all her might, "Childish? Childish? You monster! You took away everything I held dear to me and you're calling me childish? You pathetic excuse for man, I thought you had changed Vegeta. It takes a stronger man to admit that he was wrong but what YOU did is unforgivable. You bastard!" Bulma stopped to catch her breath and she lowered her voice to a near whisper. "Know this Vegeta, You are worse than Freeza ever was, and for that I hope you rot in hell for what you have done." Bulma stared at him with cold lifeless eyes, "I hate you Vegeta, I can truly and honestly say, I HATE YOU."
Growling he retorted, "I don't care onna, deal with it! Pitiful human, always weak with emotion." With that Vegeta walked out of the bathroom leaving Bulma behind *What did you expect baka? For her to come running to you!* His inner self screamed at him and his actions, but once again turned a deaf ear. The words Bulma had spoken stung him far worse than any other punch or ki-blast could. He was furious at what she said, yet at the same time something was gnawing away at his heart. *I shall return to her when she is in a more rational state. Right now she is of no use to me.* With that final thought, Vegeta left the bed chamber and a hysterical Bulma.
Bulma tried to slow down her breathing as she crawled out of the bathroom. She collapsed onto the bed, crying herself to sleep. She thought she had been lonely before, now she truley knew what the word 'alone' meant. She would be alone for the rest of her life, until the day she died...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A/N: Poor poor Bulma!! She actually thought Vegeta had changed, but obviously it was not so :(. So what ya think? Has Veggie gone insane for blowing up planet earth? (Mwahaha, I know it's evil!) And what do you guys think about the whole idea of his reviving the Saiya-jin race, along with his father? And the fact he destroyed the whole Z gang? Let me know when you review!! Please tell me if Vegeta gets too OOC, cuz I hate it when that happens and I'm trying hard not to let that happen!
To TigerQueen: No more Yamcha ~starts jumping up and down and dancing around the room~ mwahahaha!!!!!!! Hope your glad I got rid of him... But wait! Bulma makes a new friend! *coughcough-it's a guy-cough* Will he steal Bulma away from our Vegeta? Find out soon!
Next Chapter: Bulma tries to get used to the idea of earth being gone, whilst making new friends and Veggie realises (FINALLY) he has feelings for Bulma!!!
Vegeta: Baka, you're making me out to be like a weak earthling!! I should not have to look cute and stop calling me Veggie!!
JluvsVeggie: Aww but you are so cute and so is the name! ~pinches Vegeta's cheek making cooing sounds~
Vegeta: ENOUGH!!~starts to power up~
~Suddenly Yamcha enters~ : Hi everyone!!!
Vegeta: ~looks at Yamcha evilly~ I will crush you..~looks at JluvsVeggie~ the both of you!!
~Yamcha and JluvsVeggie look at each other in horror. JluvsVeggie pushes Yamcha towards Vegeta, saving her own skin and in the process, getting Yamcha killed.~ hee hee. Until next time!!
This chapter: Has Veggie really gone insane and kidnapped Bulma? (sounds too dramatic, don't you think?) In my opinion, I just think he's being Vegeta hehe. Anyway onwards and Happy reading!!
Disclaimer: ~starts getting really mad~ I hate writing these. I don't own DBZ blah blah blah. Don't sue blah!! (Although I wish I did own DBZ, then I would be RICH.. RICH I tell you, mwahahah!!!)

"They tried, and they failed. As you can see."

Bulma said between retching, as she saw Vegeta follow her into the bathroom. *No, this can't be happening! He's supposed to be good, not evil! Oh Kami, how could I have ever thought he had changed... My friends, my poor poor friends.. Yamcha, I'm so sorry. I've let you down.. Goku, not even you could stop him..* Suddenly a thought hit her. "If you destroyed earth, then where are we now?" She said in an almost whisper, whilst slowly washing her mouth out to get rid of the disgusting taste.
Vegeta sneered, "We are in space onna. On one of my royal space crafts." Vegeta savoured the surprised look that flew across Bulma's face.
"Huh? What are you talking about Vegeta?" Bulma was almost scared to ask. *Crap, he has gone completely bonkers*
Vegeta chuckled, he was going to have fun explaining to the onna his new found discovery. "Well onna, to cut a long story short, I have regained my Saiya-jin race and the planet Vegeta-sei, so-"
"What?" Bulma cried out, interrupting Vegeta.
"QUIET!" Bulma whimpered at the harshness of his voice. He tried to calm himself down and lowered his voice slightly. "I will not be interrupted! As I was saying, when I was in space and I was training, a thought came to me. If I defeated Kakkarot then I could use the dragonballs to revive my people and planet. So you see, this gave me enough motive to become Super Saiya-jin and destroy Kakkarot."
Vegeta paused reliving the moment he defeated Kakkarot in battle. It was glorious to him, and now nothing was holding him back from becoming supreme ruler of the universe. He looked towards Bulma and something in his chest tightened. He saw the pained expression she held on her face and tried his best to ignore it. "After my wishes were completed I destroyed the pathetic planet. We will now be returning to Vegeta-sei, where I shall be crowned King in three months."
Bulma shook from the news she recieved. "I see.. I always knew you were a power driven egotistical maniac, but.." She whispered trailing off, scared at what would happen to her. Curiosity got the better of her, "You murdered everyone whom I loved and destroyed my home planet." Bulma's voice cracked but she continued nonetheless, "Why keep me alive?" Bulma wanted to die right there and then. She found a new hate for Vegeta, one she couldn't describe. She was still in shock, from everything that had been told to her.
"For technological purposes. You are the only one who can help advance the technology on my planet." Vegeta said flatly, although he knew there was another purpose to keeping her alive, he just didn't want to admit it.
Finally the realisation sunk into Bulma, *Kami, I'm going to be nothing but a slave..* She felt a sob catch in her throught and tears sting her eyes. All her pain from before was long forgotten. This pain was far worse than any physical pain she felt. Her legs gave way and she fell to the floor, all of her heartache came pouring out now. She cried like she never had before in her life, for the loss of her loved ones and possibly for the loss of Vegeta's renewed soul.
Vegeta froze as he saw Bulma fall to the floor and start to cry. Once again he felt a tightening in his chest, but he refused to acknowledge it. "Onna, get up. Stop acting so weak and childish."
Fury over came Bulma at his words and she stood up screaming with all her might, "Childish? Childish? You monster! You took away everything I held dear to me and you're calling me childish? You pathetic excuse for man, I thought you had changed Vegeta. It takes a stronger man to admit that he was wrong but what YOU did is unforgivable. You bastard!" Bulma stopped to catch her breath and she lowered her voice to a near whisper. "Know this Vegeta, You are worse than Freeza ever was, and for that I hope you rot in hell for what you have done." Bulma stared at him with cold lifeless eyes, "I hate you Vegeta, I can truly and honestly say, I HATE YOU."
Growling he retorted, "I don't care onna, deal with it! Pitiful human, always weak with emotion." With that Vegeta walked out of the bathroom leaving Bulma behind *What did you expect baka? For her to come running to you!* His inner self screamed at him and his actions, but once again turned a deaf ear. The words Bulma had spoken stung him far worse than any other punch or ki-blast could. He was furious at what she said, yet at the same time something was gnawing away at his heart. *I shall return to her when she is in a more rational state. Right now she is of no use to me.* With that final thought, Vegeta left the bed chamber and a hysterical Bulma.
Bulma tried to slow down her breathing as she crawled out of the bathroom. She collapsed onto the bed, crying herself to sleep. She thought she had been lonely before, now she truley knew what the word 'alone' meant. She would be alone for the rest of her life, until the day she died...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A/N: Poor poor Bulma!! She actually thought Vegeta had changed, but obviously it was not so :(. So what ya think? Has Veggie gone insane for blowing up planet earth? (Mwahaha, I know it's evil!) And what do you guys think about the whole idea of his reviving the Saiya-jin race, along with his father? And the fact he destroyed the whole Z gang? Let me know when you review!! Please tell me if Vegeta gets too OOC, cuz I hate it when that happens and I'm trying hard not to let that happen!
To TigerQueen: No more Yamcha ~starts jumping up and down and dancing around the room~ mwahahaha!!!!!!! Hope your glad I got rid of him... But wait! Bulma makes a new friend! *coughcough-it's a guy-cough* Will he steal Bulma away from our Vegeta? Find out soon!
Next Chapter: Bulma tries to get used to the idea of earth being gone, whilst making new friends and Veggie realises (FINALLY) he has feelings for Bulma!!!
Vegeta: Baka, you're making me out to be like a weak earthling!! I should not have to look cute and stop calling me Veggie!!
JluvsVeggie: Aww but you are so cute and so is the name! ~pinches Vegeta's cheek making cooing sounds~
Vegeta: ENOUGH!!~starts to power up~
