^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bulma looked at Vegeta, waiting for him to speak. "What is it Vegeta? I'm a little busy right now, as you can see. Anyway, weren't you in the conference room? What's your problem and why are you looking at me like that and-"

Vegeta decided to cut Bulma off, her questions were not helping! "Enough onna!"

At this Bulma raised her eyebrow and waited for him to speak.

Vegeta cleared his throat, still thinking whether or not he should tell her. "Onna, I- the gravity room is broken again. Fix it." He quickly turned to leave, leaving a confused Bulma behind. He realised he couldn't bring himself to tell her, no matter how much he wanted to.

Bulma sat still for five minutes wondering what was wrong with Vegeta. *What was all that about?* Shrugging, she continued working on her new project, she smirked proudly. But the nagging thought's about Vegeta still wouldn't leave her. He had been acting very strange this past month!

~Flashback~

It was now Bulma's second week on Vegeta-sei and the King had FINALLY given her some work. She had been appointed head of the science department, just the way she thought it would be! All day she had been busy modifying the Saiya-jins rejuvination tanks, and she hadn't noticed how the time was passing quickly. When she looked out of the window she saw that it was dark and raining. *Great and I've got to walk outside to get back to the main building! Just what I needed, to get wet!*

Putting the finishing touches to the machine, she started to clear up. Humming, her thoughts wandered to Vegeta. *That man just gets weirder everyday.. I've got a to find a way to get him to agree with my plan!* Sighing, she finished clearing up and walked slowly out of the lab. Just before leaving she looked up at the sky and saw that it had stopped raining and now the sky was clear, devoid of any clouds. She also saw the two moons of Vegeta-sei shining brightly. *Thank Kami. At least I won't get wet now. But how strange, it was raining only a few minutes ago, and now the sky is clear!*

She walked at a leisurely pace, through the gardens towards the palace, not bothering to hurry. She stopped at an unusual silvery flower, looking both ways to make sure she was alone, she bent down to smell the flower. She touched the flower softly, lost in her thoughts.

Vegeta had been watching Bulma since she had left the palace labs. It was dangerous to be walking around at night, even if she was on the palace grounds. He started to walk towards her, she had actually been acting like the old Bulma this past week. *That onna is up to something..* He stepped beside her, clearing his throat to make his presence known.

Bulma looked up as she heard someone clear their throat. Her eyes met Vegeta and she stared blankly back. *Great another chance for me to work on Vegeta's charater some more hehe*

Bulma smiled slightly, "And what brings you here Vegeta?"

Vegeta stared at Bulma for several moments, instead of answering he just grunted.

Bulma shrugged, *Well he's a happy bunny!* "What do you want Vegeta?"

"It's late, you shouldn't be wandering around at this hour." He tried to avoid eye contact but Bulma just stared at him with her wide blue eyes.

Anger quickly got the better of her, "Well I'm so sorry MASTER! I didn't know I had to go back to the palace at a certain time."

Vegeta snorted at her out burst. "I am merely saying this for your protection onna."

"And why should you care about what happens to me?" She snapped back, looking into his eyes. There she saw a flicker of concern hidden in the onyx depths. *He really is concerned about my well being?!*

"My god.." She breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe all hope wasn't lost.

Vegeta frowned, "What was that?"

Bulma bit her lip at the slip up, "N-nothing.. So are you going to take me back to the palace?"

Vegeta smirked, the hint of concern in his eyes gone. "Find your own way back onna." He turned towalk away, when Bulma's voice stopped him.

If Bulma wanted him to follow her plan, she had to get closer to him. On impulse she called out to him, "Wait!"

He turned around, raising an eyebrow. "What is it now, onna?"

*Oh brother, talk about cold!* "If it's so dangerous, then maybe it would be a good idea if you walked with me.. Please?" She cringed inside as she said that word.

Vegeta rolled his eyes and folded his arms. "Very well, onna." He saw her smile happily and all of a sudden, he felt happy too. "But don't get used to it!" He added quickly. He never remembered feeling happy in his life, well not this happy anyway. *Hmph, the Prince of all Saiya-jins, happy? That will be the day I die!*

Together they walked in silence towards the palace. After ten minutes of silence, Bulma was beginning to get uncomfortable.

"So Vegeta.. How was your day?"

Vegeta glanced at Bulma, slightly surprised. "Fine."

*Ugh, this is gonna be harder than I thought!* She cleared her throat. "What did you do? Anything interesting?"

After she said that, Vegeta stopped in his tracks. "Are you feeling alright onna?"

Bulma stopped walking, looking at him confused. "I'm fine, why?"

Vegeta growled, "Then stop babbling!" He continued walking.

Bulma sighed, giving up. *Well I tried!*

Vegeta stole a glance at Bulma's profile and smirked. He could very easily get used to this.

~End Flashback~

Sighing, she decided it was time to stop working. She was beginning to develop a headache from all of the work. Just then she felt her stomach start to grumble, it was already dark! She quickly got up and packed everything away, it was almost time to go anyway. Some of the workers were still there so she didn't have to lock up, which she hated doing!

She quickly stepped outside and concluded that if she jogged she'd reach the palace in fifteen minutes, instead of thirty. *Thank Kami I'm wearing comfortable clothes!*

Smiling she set her watch to time herself and started to jog towards the palace. She saw a different route and decided to take this route than her usual one. The path was well lit and it looked safe. *Ah what the hell!*

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After ten minutes she saw that she was nowhere near the palace and she realised she was going deep into a forest. She stopped jogging and looked around. *Hold up, I don't remember this being part of the palace..* She took in her surroundings suspiciously. *Oh great just what I needed, to get lost in the middle of nowhere and at night no less!* She shook her head at her foolishness. She shivered slightly from the cold. Sighing she turned around and started jogging back to where she first started.

Five minutes into the jog, she heard a russling sound behind her. She stopped dead in her tracks. Bulma turned around peering into the darkness, but found nothing, *Must have been my imagination. The sooner I get back to the palace, the better!* She started jogging again faster this time, not looking back, afraid of what might jump out from the shadows.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hiding amongst the trees, the former Saiya-jin guard watched as the blue- haired woman he knew as 'Bulma' ran back towards the palace. *So close and yet so far..* His mind hissed at him. His appearance was disheviled from the rough nights sleeping in the forest. For a month he had been observing the blue haired woman from afar. It was time he got to know her a bit better. He smirked evilly, *I'll teach that fool of a King to steal MY mate! He treasure's his guest dearly, well let's see what he'll do when his precious guest is harmed* He gave an evil laugh. He had been planning this for a very long time and now, it was time to put the plan into action...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A/N: UH OH, who's this guy? And what's this about King Veg stealing HIS mate?!? The plot thickens mwahahaha!! Please tell me if Vegeta gets too OOC, I'm trying not to let that happen but it's hard :( Another sad attempt at a cliff hanger! Mwahaha..~evil laugh dies out~ sorry.. :P
