Disclaimer: You know the drill!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bulma bit her lip as she stood outside of the gravity room. Last night, she had accepted King Vegeta's challenge, but she wasn't so sure now. *I can't win against a Saiya-jin! She'll kill me before I can say 'you look like a baboon'. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..* She took a deep breath before knocking on the door of the gravity room.
Vegeta growled as he heard Bulma knocking. "Onna, get lost!"
Bulma yelled through the door, "Vegeta open up! I.. Need your help," she made a face as she said this. Bulma didn't ask for anybody's help and now she had ask Vegeta, of all people.
Vegeta smirked. This was the first time she had asked for his help. He turned off the gravity and watched as the door opened with a hiss.
Bulma stepped in cautiously, chewing on her bottom lip.
Vegeta scowled, "Well get on with it onna! I haven't got all "
"Can you.. teach me how to, fight?" She looked up with big round eyes, pouting her lips. This face always worked with her folks, why not Vegeta?
Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her, trying his hardest not to smirk at the expression on her face. "And what's in it for me?"
"I get to live.."
He waved his hand, "Pass."
Bulma started to get annoyed. "Vegeta!" she screeched.
"Stop your screeching onna. Fine, I will train you. I doubt that it will help-"
Bulma cut in,"Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence!"
He rolled his eyes. "Well, don't just stand there and pout. Let's start training!"
Bulma frowned, "Right now..?" she asked in a small voice.
Vegeta was beginning to lose his patience, "Yes, right now. Go and put on suitable clothing, then we will begin. And stop making that damn face onna!" He steered her out of the gravity room so she could go and get changed.
Bulma sighed as she saw the door close in her face. This was going to be a LONG two weeks. She quickly ran back to her room, threw on a white t-shirt and grey joggers, and quickly ran back, as fast as she could. In twenty minutes Bulma was back at the gravity room, huffing and puffing for air. She knocked on the door, and stumbled in as it opened.
"What took you so long?" Vegeta frowned at Bulma, who was now flushed and gasping for air.
"I-can't-breathe-do-ran-far-fast-too-old-" She said in between large breaths, she took one last long deep breath and crumpled to the floor. She lay there looking up at the ceiling, trying to catch her breath.
Vegeta looked at her stony faced, *Disgusting!*
Bulma stuck her tongue out, not quite yet recovered. "I-heard-that-ass- HOLE!"
"Get up!" He barked.
Bulma jumped at the harsh tone of his voice. Her breathing slowly returned to normal and she stood slowly to her feet. She looked at him cautiously.
"I will not tolerate this weakness, onna! Your species are a disgrace when it comes to fitness and strength."
"EXCUSE ME? I just haven't had the time to stay fit..." She pouted putting her hands on her hips.
"Hmph. Petty excuses! For the next two weeks, you will live under my schedule. You will be up at dawn," Vegeta raised his hand to stop Bulma from saying her comment. Glaring at her, he continued. "As I was saying. You WILL be up at dawn. NO EXCUSES. Then you will begin your training regime. Three laps, around the entire palace gardens,"
Before he could continue, Bulma cut in. "No way!! You're supposed to teach me how to fight, not to run!"
"Grr, how do you expect to fight when in only twenty minutes of running, you have become an asthmatic fish, gasping for air?"
Bulma didn't say anything, he had a point.
He continued, scolwling, "After your run, for the first week I shall teach you the simple moves and techniques that are necessary. The second week, you will be working in different gravity conditions. Is that clear?"
Bulma nodded, lost for words.
He smirked. "Good. Now, you've already run to the palace and back, I may as well teach you a few simple techniques. First, you will need to know how to punch. Show me what you can do and punch here," he pointed to his jaw.
Bulma took a deep breath. She balled up her fist and threw her fist at Vegeta.
He shook his head in disgust, and in one swift movement grabbed her wrist beofre it connected with her jaw.
Bulma huffed, "Hey! Why'd you stop it?"
"Onna, this is the most ridiculous way to punch that I have ever seen. Firstly, spread your feet apart appropriately." He watched as she did this, "Ok now, make sure your thumb is on the outside of your fist. Good. Now put your weight into it. Ready? Now!" He lowered his power level, so that she wouldn't hurt herself.
Bulma threw all of her strength into the punch. It connected perfectly with Vegeta's jaw. She raised her eyebrow as she saw him stay perfectly still, apart from wiping the tiny bit of blood from his mouth.
He smirked, "Not bad."
Bulma stood up tall, proud that she had just hit Vegeta.
Soon he was scowling again, "But it's still not good enough. Saiya-jin women are ten times more powerful than earth females. This would be like a minor itch to one."
Bulma's face dropped, "Great. I'm gonna be beaten until I become mashed potatoes or worse, turned into goo!" she muttered under her breath.
He rolled his eyes at her, "Show me how you kick."
Bulma sighed and lifted her leg up, twisting to the left as she kicked, completely missing Vegeta. "How was that?"
Vegeta stared at her, disbelieving. "THAT was not anything onna. What the hell was that?!"
"It was a kick!" She exclaimed!
"It looked more like that wretched movement you humans call dancing!" He shook his head. This was going to be a VERY long two weeks.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
~4 hours later~
Bulma literally fell/stumbled out of the gravity room. They had been training for so long, and she was ready to give up. *This reminds me of gym class back in high school.* Her limbs were aching from the hours of endless torture and they still had to go for a final jog around the palace gardens! What made it even worse, was the fact that Vegeta offered little words of comfort.
Vegeta's tolerance was starting to thin, "ONNA, GET YOUR ASS MOVING!"
"I'm moving," she mumbled, on the verge of tears.
He growled and grabbed her wrist, roughly yanking her to move at a faster pace.
That's when Bulma snapped, "THAT'S IT!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH. LET GO!"
Vegeta raised his eyebrow at her, "Giving up so soon? And it's only the first day." He stated calmly yet visibly irritated by her childish antics.
Bulma felt her head throbbing, she was tired and hungry and Vegeta was being way too mean, even for him. "I can't do this.." She whispered. She was unable to stop the flow of tears that came.
Vegeta froze as he saw the tears rolling down Bulma's cheek. He frowned uncomfortably at her, they both stood silent on the garden path, neither of them moving or saying a word.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A/N: Uh-oh, will Bulma go through with the tournament? Who knows! Mwahaha. I am so sorry that was short, but I start my new school tomorrow, and I feel sick to my stomach. I'll have to make new friends and that scares the crap out of me! I'm feeling sick as I'm typing this! I'm not sure if I'll be able to put up a chapter tomorrow, but I promise I will try. Thank you and please review and let me know what you guys think of that chapter!
Next Chapter: Find out if Bulma continues her training (or not).
JluvsVeggie: ~dances around the OOC Vegeta, singing~ It's getting hot in herrrreee, so take off all your clothes!
Vegeta: @_@ ~sings~ I like the flowers, I like the daffodils. I like the mountains, I like the rolling hills! I light the fire side when the lights are low.. Singing doowop a doowop a doowop a do!!
JluvsVeggie: ~stops dancing and singing~ Where did Yamcha go?
::By now, Yamcha has already ran away from the two lunatics singing::
~Vegeta and JluvsVeggie shrug at eachother and continue dancing and singing.~
Stay tuned!!
