"Hello!?" Chi-Chi yelled as she banged on the door to Vegeta's room. There was no answer. She waited a couple more minutes, then slowly turned the knob. Just as she was doing it, the door violently swung open, and Chi- Chi went forward with it, slamming into whoever answered the door. She clutched to their shoulders, and looked up to meet Vegeta's glare. "Uh…Sorry Vegeta," she mumbled, blushing slightly.

"Whatever," he huffed, pushing her off. "What do you want?"

"Is 18 here?" she asked, poking her head in and looking around.

"No." He placed his hand on her forehead, and pushed her back, then went to close the door.

"No wait!"

"What now?"

"I need to talk to you," she said in a low voice, looking down at her feet.

"About?" he hissed, he was getting rather annoyed.

"Bulma and Goku." His ears perked, and he looked around in the halls, then grabbed her arm and yanked her inside.

"What about them?" he asked, eyebrows forked and arms crossed.

"Well…" She walked over to the couch and sat down, then motioned for him to come sit by her. He did, wanting to know what she had to say. "Ok.." She took a deep breath before she continued. "I know that you'll just deny it, but I know that you're jealous of Bulma and Goku."

"I am n-"

"Hush, I told you that you'd disagree. So just listen. I was thinking, on the first day of school Bulma noticed you right away and had a small crush on you. Well at least until you two spoke and you graced her with your charms. Now what I think is that she still does like you, but is just too hurt that you're so mean to her that she'll deny it even to herself-"

"Get on with it woman," he grunted angrily.

"Calm down. Kami. Anyways…I was thinking…Bulma gets jealous really easily, and is very competitive. If she saw you with someone and you two were all mushy then she'd get so jealous that she'd try and get you, and forget all about Goku."

"Ok," he said simply. "Who?"

"Who what?"

"Who would I "date" to make the woman jealous?"

"Me of course," she said with a huge grin.

"What's in it for you?" he asked suspiciously, but leaned in slightly.

"Like it wasn't obvious. I want Goku."

"Alright…So…What do I have to do?"

"You really don't have to do much. I'll do most of it. All you have to do is act somewhat happy to be with me. You know, if I cuddle up to you on the couch," she said inching closer to him. "You let me." She rested her head comfortably on his chest. He immediately backed away to the far end of the couch. She looked up at him, then extended her index finger and motioned him over. He slid over slowly until he was next to her again. Then uneasily he placed his arm around her, and pulled her closer. "See you've got the idea," she said with a smile, going back to her original place on the couch. Vegeta sighed deeply, and moved a littler further from her. "Ok then, so we have a deal?" She held out her hand.

"Yeah," he huffed, regaining his composure and shaking her hand quickly.

"Ok then. We are now a "couple." Thanks Vegeta," she said in a business like tone.

"Yeah whatever. Are you going to leave now?"

"No, I want to stay and cuddle with my new boyfriend," she giggled, inching closer to him. His eyes widened in terror. "Don't look so scared Vegeta. I'm just kidding. Sheesh." She stood up and walked quickly over to the door. "Bye hun!"

Vegeta took a deep breath and closed his eyes. *This might actually work* he thought happily. *Wait. Why do I give a fuck!?* But before he could ponder his thoughts further his room door flung open and Chi-Chi ran in, then slammed it behind her. "What do you want NOW!?"

"G…G…Goku and B…B…Bulma…coming…down…the hall…" she gasped between heaving breaths.

"And?" He arched an eyebrow in question at her.

"And!? And!?" she hissed, stomping over to him. "We are a "couple" now Vegeta! We have to act like that around them! So sit down and hold me!!" she yelled, pushing him on the couch and scrambling to get under his arm before they reached the room. Just seconds later the door swung open and in walked Goku and Bulma, hand in hand. "Hey guys!!" Chi-Chi squealed running over to them. "Oh!! You'll never guess what Vegeta JUST asked me!!" Vegeta's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Woman!!" he barked, stomping over to her. "You were NOT supposed to tell them that!!"

"He did, did he?" Bulma asked, raising an eyebrow of suspicion. Chi- Chi wrapped her arms around Vegeta's thick neck and kissed his cheek. "Well congratulations." She smiled deviously. She could smell a scam. She knew Chi-Chi all too well, and Vegeta wasn't really one to trust either.

Vegeta's jaw dropped and he turned to a beaming Chi-Chi. "You better know what you're doing," he whispered out of the corner of his mouth.

"Trust me," she said through clenched teeth. "It's a guarantee."

"Well me and Goku were just about to get some pizza. You two wanna go?" Before Chi-Chi could take another breath Vegeta jumped in.

"Are you kidding? Its food. I'm there." He placed an uneasy arm around Chi-Chi's waist and escorted her out of the room. Bulma and Goku followed suit, and were lead down the hall to an elevator.

(So they have pizza and its yummy…blah blah blah…)

"Well, thanks for inviting us," Chi-Chi said to Bulma as they arrived at Vegeta and Goku's room door.

"No problem. We had a blast," Goku said with a ridiculously huge grin.

"Well, good night you two," Bulma sighed, kissing Goku lightly on the cheek. Chi-Chi glared at her friend, as if challenging her. She looked to Vegeta who was starring off down the hall. She squeezed his hand tightly, but before he could respond she pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled his head to hers. There lips locked together, awkwardly at first, then they both eased into it, forgetting about the tow now stunned people standing only a few feet from them.

"Night Vegeta." She kissed his lips one last time, then grabbed Bulma's arm and walked away.

"What the hell was that!?" Bulma hissed when they got far enough down the hall.

"What!?" Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes at he friend's comment. Her and Vegeta were "dating" now as far as she was concerned.

"That kiss!? What the hell were you thinking!?"

"Hmm…I don't know. Maybe that he's MY boyfriend and I have a right to!!" Chi-Chi yelled as if he really were hers.

"What!? You can't be serious! I know what you're doing and its not going to work! I like Goku!"

"Alright! So why does it matter if I kiss Vegeta or not!?"

"Because!"

"Uh! Nevermind! I'm staying here tonight!" With that Chi-Chi stalked back to the boys' room and burst in without knocking, Bulma went the opposite direction. Vegeta jumped back, spilling his soda and Goku nearly fell off the couch as she came storming in.

"Chi-Chi, what's up? Forget something?" Goku asked settling back down on the couch.

"No!" she spat, sitting next to him in a huff. "I'm staying the night. Bulma and I got into a fight."

"No! Absolutely not woman! You're going back to your room right now!!" Vegeta yelled, throwing the rest of his soda on the floor and stomping over to the couch. "Get out!" He yanked her by the arm off the couch and pushed her in the direction of the door.

"Vegeta!" she hissed, turning around and slapping his across the face. "I am NOT going back! I'm staying the night! And that's final!" Vegeta glared at her angrily, though he didn't retort.

"What with you Vegeta?" Goku asked with a confused look on his face (So basically he looked normal heehee!). "She'd your girlfriend, you should be happy she's staying."

Vegeta only glared at him, then walked back to the kitchen. He reached far back into a cabinet, and searched around inside for a moment before pulling his arm back out. And in his hand was a nearly full bottle of Jack Daniels. "Vegeta! I thought I told you to get rid of that!!" He didn't answer, only grunted at him then went to a different cupboard and got several shot glasses. He lined the glasses up side by side on the counter, then filled each with some of the liquor. He looked at the full glasses a moment, then picked up two of them and downed them one after another. Then he grabbed two more, walked over to Chi-Chi and handed them to her. She looked at him suspiciously, but took the glasses and gulped them quickly. "You guys aren't supposed to be-"

"Shut up Kakarot!" Vegeta barked, taking another shot. He was in no mood for him. Not only did he steal "his" woman, but Chi-Chi was on his back and invading his territory. (Don't ask about the whole drinking thing. I don't know why I put that there LOL!)

Meanwhile, Bulma sat on her bed, starring blankly ahead. 18 sat beside her, trying desperately to get her to talk. "Come on Bulma. Please, just tell me what happened," 18 pleaded, taking her friend's head. They'd become rather close friends since the first day of school. "Please…"

"Chi-Chi kissed Vegeta," she sighed, not moving anything but her lips. She hadn't blinked for minutes.

"But I thought you were with Goku. What's the big deal if she kisses Vegeta? You hate him."

"I know. Its just…"

"Just?"

"I think I like Vegeta."

"You just said you hated him."

"I know. I do." 18 gave her a puzzled look. She was totally confused.

"I…" She took a deep breath. "Nevermind. Good night Bulma." She kissed her forehead lightly, then crawled into her own bed. Bulma stayed sitting at the edge of her bed, her eyes still fixed on a blurry target across the room.

*You like Goku. You're with Goku. Vegeta means nothing to you. It was a one time thing and you regret it* Bulma told herself, as she bit her lip nervously. Then thoughts of that afternoon with Vegeta came rushing into her mind. He had been so sweet, so gently, yet raw and animalistic at the same time. His lips kissed softly, but his eyes raged with passion. Bulma placed her hand on her neck and rubbed it just above her collarbone. He had bitten her. She could still remember the look on his face when he brought his head back up, mouth dripping with her blood. He hadn't looked like Vegeta at all, and yet his face looked the same. It was as if another man had taken over his body for a brief moment. Little did she know she was closer to the truth than she thought. True, no person had taken over his body. His instincts had, and they compelled him to mark his territory, claim her as his own.

"Vegeta," she whispered, lying back and closing her eyes.
