Hey, hey. Me again. Hows are you all? Good, I hope, or good enough to review me. Hehehehehe! ^_~.
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball Z, despite my absolute adoration to Gohan. As far as I'm concerned, nothing happens
between him and Videl. She's just a snobby gaki that's all goo goo over my honey.
Stranded.
Chapter 7.
Leaving.
"Fine then, this way of being will make me weak."
"What, like the emotion of love made you so weak that you couldn't even save your family?" Bulma asked. A pained look spread across Vegeta's face and he looked down, making Bulma finally realise her mistake. "Oh, Kame. Vegeta, I didn't mean it."
"Yes you did. You meant every part of it." Vegeta said. He turned from her and gave up on the promise and flew away, very slowly.
"Oh, come on, Vegeta. Why would I mean anything like that?"
"I don't know. I thought you were higher then that. Bye." He said before taking off as fast as he could. Bulma sat down by the lake and started to weep.
Goku felt Vegeta's rising ki and transported himself to the lake again, but this time with Chi-Chi, to find the weeping Bulma on
the ground.
"Bulma, what happened?" Chi-Chi asked, sitting next to her bestfriend.
"It was Vegeta."
"Did he hurt you?" Goku asked, protecting his 'older sister'. Bulma shook her head. "Then why are you crying?"
"We started fighting and then I said that love made him so weak that he couldn't protect his family and I said too much."
Bulma said, putting her attention to the gawking Chi-Chi.
"He, he had a family?"
"Great. Now you know and he's never going to forgive me."
"Like he's gonna forgive you for saying that." Goku said.
"You didn't have to rub it in. I wouldn't be surprised if he left this planet."
"Neither would I." Chi-Chi said, putting her arm around Bulma's shoulder and pulling her into a hug.
"Why am I such an idiot?"
"You're not. Beside your father, you're probably the smartest person in the world."
"Not when it comes to friends."
"Well, you are an idiot for considering that monkey prince as a friend."
"Hey, I resent that. You have to remember he is the prince of my race." Goku interrupted.
"Yeah, well, no offence or anything, but your race is led by a complete ass." Chi-Chi said to Goku.
"He can be sometimes, but he has had a hard childhood." Bulma said, trying to protect him for some weird reason.
"Why are you trying to defend him? Did you forget that he made you feel so bad?" Chi-Chi asked Bulma.
"He may have, but someone needs to protect him. May as well be me."
"If you wish. Do you want to stay with us tonight?"
"I guess."
"Okay." Goku said, happily. He grabbed them both and then they disappeared and re-appeared back at the ridge that Goku and Chi-Chi turned into a great house.
It was pretty deep and high with a big bed in one corner and two fridges in another. The front door had a glass window in the middle, as did the roof. The dirt that was there was swept away, leaving the ground almost clean and pretty level. It looked pretty sturdy and let in no cold at night. It would guarantee no rain coming in and was about as good as Bulma's.
"Wow. You guys did pretty well. I like."
"Glad you do." Chi-Chi said. "I don't know where you're going to sleep, so I'll get Goku to make something up for you."
"Oh, but Chi." Goku started.
"No 'but Chi's', Goku. Bulma has been like a big sister to you since you were twelve. (A/N: I think that's how old he said he was in Dragon Ball when the ring announcer asked him and Krillin in the Martial Arts Tournament. How am I supposed to know? I live in Australia and we hardly get any Animes. Thank god for Cartoon Network. *_*) Now for once, pay her back and make a bed for her!"
"He doesn't have to." Bulma said.
"Yes he does."
"Fine then, it doesn't have to be too big. It's only for one night until Vegeta and I can work out everything."
"Okay, Bulma." Goku said. He quickly ran outside and came back with branches off trees and started to work on a big bed. Half an hour later, he had made a king size bed for Bulma and a mattress of grass and leaves. By that time, it was 9:54.
"I'm tired. Do you guys mind if I go to sleep? I've had a long day." Bulma said.
"No. It's okay. If you want, I'll take everyone home tomorrow, seeing as how Vegeta decided to break that promise." Goku said. "I'll find him now."
"Okay. Just don't try to hurt him if he gets angry."
"Hm, kay." Goku said. He took off into the sky and searched for Vegeta's ki. Once he found it, he used his instant transmission to get there.
"What are you doing here, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked. He was sitting on a cliff, staring up into the night's sky and all the stars.
"We're leaving tomorrow because you decided to break the promise with Bulma and have got everyone down."
"Am I to care?"
"I don't know. Bulma is so very sorry. She's staying at with Chi-Chi and me tonight. She's really depressed."
"Well, she shouldn't have said that about me and my family. Saiyans can be very emotional when it comes to their mate and child and those emotions aren't to be played with."
"She didn't mean it."
"Sure she didn't." Vegeta said cynically. He continued his gaze up at the stars.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking for the sun of Vegeta-Sei. It's a brilliant star that's in the constellation that you people on Earth call Leo."
"I know that one. It's supposed to look like a lion."
"Yes, it is. There." Vegeta said, finding the star. "It's the brightest in the group."
"Why?"
"Because it's close."
"Oh. So are you coming back with us tomorrow?"
"I guess so. Just don't expect me to be nice."
"Oh, I don't."
"Good. But I think I'll stay here tonight. I'll go over to your hut with the woman's and my stuff in the morning."
"Okay. Bye." Goku said, disappearing.
"Hey Goku." Chi-Chi whispered when she saw her husband re-appear in their hut. "Bulma's asleep."
"Okay. Vegeta's coming around in the morning with their stuff."
"I really don't like him."
"Neither do I, but he's Bulma's friend and sometimes he isn't all that bad."
"I guess. I just don't know how she can befriend such people."
"She finds the good in them and grow on it. Don't ask me how she found good in Vegeta, but she did." Goku said. "I really need some sleep. Today has been too exciting."
"I still can't believe that Vegeta had a family and he still acts like a donkey."
"Yeah, well he said that Saiyans can be very emotional when it comes to family."
"I bet you anything that he didn't even weep when he found out that his parents were dead."
"Bet! Oh no! I lost the bet with Krillin!"
"You idiot. How much do you owe him?"
"Oh, just a week of intense training with Vegeta."
"And what would have we gotten if you had won?"
"Um, $150."
"How the hell could you bet on something that you know will never happen?"
"It's supposed to happen."
"Oh, yeah. Bulma, our Bulma. Sweet, innocent, naïve Bulma is to fall head over heels in love with Vegeta. Mr. Mass-Murderer. Mr. Give-Me-Food-Or-I'll-Blast-Your-Head-Off. Sure. That's really going to happen."
"That's what the kid from the future, who claims to be their son told me. I believe him."
"That's ridiculous." Chi-Chi said. She crawled into her bed as did Goku and both fell asleep, unaware to the awake Bulma who was listening in to them.
'I'm to have a son with Vegeta?" she thought. 'Too bad that won't ever happen. Wait! Did I just think that? Oh no. I do care for him! But he hates me. What am I going to do? He will only ever like Safira. Maybe I could wish her and Keira back with the Dragon Balls for a few days, maybe get on his good side again. I would love for him to be happy with me again. Gees. This is getting out of control. I guess hearing the fact that you're meant to have a kid with someone can change the way you look at them. Why don't you like me, Vegeta?' She pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind and tried to fall asleep.
"Kakarot! Wake up!" Vegeta said, kicking Goku and Chi-Chi's bed to the other side of the room.
"Vegeta! You hog! Don't ever do that again!" Chi-Chi yelled, sitting up on the bed.
"Whatever, Mate of Kakarot."
"Don't call me that!"
"Why? Embarrassed that you're a Saiyan's mate?"
"I am not his mate! I am his wife."
"Chi, they're basically the same thing." Goku said, getting out of bed. He walked over to Bulma, who was still sleeping because she barely got any sleep that night, due to the thought of Vegeta, and tried to wake her up. "Hey, Bulma. Get up. His Highness is here."
"Wha, what?" Bulma asked groggily.
"I'm here." Vegeta snapped. Bulma sat up immediately. "There's no need to act like a bug just bit you on the butt because of it."
"You do when you heard what I did last night." Bulma mumbled quietly to herself. Goku, who was next to her head, went deathly white.
"You, you heard?" he stuttered.
"Yes, I did. I think that kid was lying. I mean there's no way."
"That's what I told him." Chi-Chi said.
"There is just no way."
"There's no way about what?" Vegeta asked. Bulma blushed and looked down, eager to not make eye contact.
"Great! Now it'll never happen!" Goku said, hitting himself on the head as he paced around the house.
"What'll never happen?" Vegeta asked.
"But it would never happen, me knowing or not." Bulma said.
"What would never happen?" Vegeta snapped. Bulma blushed crimson and walked over to her suitcases to find some clothes.
"We can't tell you just in case there's hope that it could happen." Goku said.
"But it will never happen. He only cares about himself and his old family." Bulma said.
"Just blurt it out, why don't ya? He can probably guess now."
"Guess what?" Vegeta asked. He was losing his temper fast.
"So you didn't understand that?" Goku asked.
"No."
"Good. Bulma, Chi-Chi, go get dressed and we'll leave soon."
"Okay." Chi-Chi said. She grabbed some clothes and then Bulma's hand and walked outside to where she has claimed her dressing room to be.
"What exactly are you keeping from me, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked Goku once the women cleared out.
"A big secret that has to do with you that I can not tell you."
"And it has something to do with the Woman."
"No it doesn't."
"If it doesn't then why does she say that it won't ever happen?"
"Because she could be defending one of her friends."
"Therefore, it probably has something to so with her."
"Ooo, you're good." Goku laughed.
"Of course I am. How come you can't tell me?"
"Because if I do then something will change in time and someone's life will be in danger from existing."
"Are you saying that I'm to have a child with someone?" Vegeta asked, rather surprisingly.
"No! Like you would even look at a woman."
"You're right, for once."
"Hey, I am right other times."
"You wish. What the hell is this big secret?"
"A big secret."
"You're trying my patience."
"I know."
"That's it. I'm not talking to you anymore." Vegeta said, stomping out of the house. Minutes later, Bulma and Chi-Chi returned and Goku went to get changed. Half an hour later, everyone had eaten, Bulma and Vegeta hadn't spoken or at least glanced at each other, Goku had changed and everything was packed and they were ready to go.
"Hey, you guys. You two should start talking or lets just try looking at each other." Goku said to Bulma and Vegeta, making Vegeta cross his arms over his chest and 'humph'. Bulma, on the other hand, felt like crying.
Goku and Vegeta grabbed all the equipment and then Chi-Chi and Bulma put their hands on Goku's back.
"And where exactly am I going to go?" Vegeta asked.
"Well, you and Bulma can stay behind while I drop off Chi-Chi. She can flare her ki so I van sense it and come back and get you guys. Yamcha should be training at Capsule Corp. so I'll be able to sense him." Goku said.
"That's if the toad doesn't have a hot date." Bulma grumped.
"Get over him." Vegeta snapped. "And by the way, Kakarot. Do you really think it's safe to leave me and the Woman here with her last remark?"
"If you don't want to be killed by a Super Saiyan, then yes." Goku said. He then disappeared and then re-appeared without Chi-Chi. "Hold on." He said. Vegeta and Bulma put their hands on Goku's back and then the three disappeared again.

That's chapter 7. I'm sorry if it's short, but I'm so tired. I was just out riding with my friend. The hills in Sunbury are such buggers. Oh, well. Continue reading and hopefully reviewing.
