Author's Note:

Helloooo!! Here's the third chapter to 'Steal Me'. I've gotten a few complaints about the length of my chapters. I'm sorry! I'll try to make them longer, but I don't wanna put too much info in one chapter and overwhelm you guys!! But, I'll try to make this chapter a wee bit longer. All right, here's the third chapter to....'Steal Me'!!

Last time on 'Steal Me':

Vegeta is told the details of his mission. He is not happy about it. However, he accepts it and goes on to his room to sleep.

Steal Me

"Why me."

Vegeta had woken up with a start the next day. He had to pack his few belongings before he boarded his ship. Vegeta dragged himself to the docking bay to find his ship and board it. He held his little knapsack over his shoulder, which held some clothing, a scouter, and the picture of Bulma. No one else was up this early in the morning. Vegeta had to take extra care in making sure that no one knew about his mission, as he was told by Frieza.

Vegeta spotted a ship which had B-385 written on its side. Vegeta punched in the code given to him. The door opened with a swoosh. He quickly boarded the ship. After throwing his bag onto one of the chairs in front of the many buttons that operated the ship, he programmed the ship to take off.

After making sure that he safely left the docking bay, Vegeta instructed the main computer to set a course to Shanai-sei.

'You better be there bitch, I'm not going to run around the galaxy looking for you....' Vegeta angrily thought to himself. He was going to be very aggravated if Bulma wasn't on Shanai-sei.

After setting the ship on auto-pilot, Vegeta decided to have a look around the ship, on which he would be spending the next five months in. After walking out of the control room, Vegeta came upon a long hallway. He found two bedrooms, right across from eachother. Vegeta decided that he would choose the bedroom to his right for himself, and the other would be for his captive. As he walked further down the hall, he came upon a bathroom on the right side of the hallway. It was fully equipped with a toilet, sink, shower, and a separate bath tub.

'Great, there's only one fucking bathroom...' Vegeta irritably thought. After he was done examining the bathroom, he decided to explore the ship furthermore. He walked a little farther, and he found that to his left, was the kitchen. In the middle, it had a round table with two chairs. He then spotted the fridge.

'Hmm.....I wonder what they got in there.' Vegeta was very hungry, he hadn't eaten a thing this morning. As he opened the fridge, he found that it was fully stocked with food. Vegeta's hungry eyes searched for the meat. He found some and took it right out of the fridge and he slightly cooked it using his ki. He didn't feel like using the stove. After Vegeta's massive appetite was satisfied, he decided to see what else was in the ship that might interest him. He left the kitchen and he continued to walk down the hall. He found a huge storage room to his right, which didn't really interest him that much. He was very curious about the door that was straight ahead. It was at the end of the hall. He walked over to it, and pushed a button or two, and the door swooshed open.

It was a training room. And, in the training room it had a rejuvenation tank in the corner.

'Perfect.' Vegeta thought happily, if that's even possible. 'I can now get some training done while I'm on this damn mission.

************************************************************************

Bulma sighed happily as she tinkered with one of her new inventions. This specific one was made to help the people of Shanai-sei. It was a machine to help store and preserve food. The population of the planet were starving because the food wouldn't last long enough to feed them. Bulma felt very fortunate to be helping these beings out. She knew that they were honest and hardworking. They offered nothing less than hospitality and kindness to Bulma as soon as she arrived.

Many, even though they were starving, would offer food to Bulma because she was a guest on their planet. Of course Bulma would always turn down the offers, knowing how much they themselves needed the food, and besides, she brought her own food, which would probably last her at least a year.

Bulma lived on her ship. It was huge. It was like a normal house, but with some added accessories, for example a control room.

Bulma would en-capsule the ship though when she wasn't in it, she didn't want to risk it being destroyed. Even though the Shanai-jins were in majority nice beings, every species had their bad seeds, and Bulma wasn't gonna take a risk for a bad seed to come along and damage her ship, that she had worked so hard on.

Bulma and her father worked long and hard to make the ship as good as it was today. Dr. Briefs wasn't going to allow his only daughter leave the planet alone in anything less than a state of the art space ship. However, Bulma wasn't alone. Chi Chi, her closest friend, came along with her. They were inseparable, like sisters. Besides, Bulma enjoyed the company.

Bulma took a glance at her digital watch on her left wrist.

'Hmm, I better take a break. I wonder what Chi Chi is up to...' Bulma thought, as she put down her wrench and stretched out her limbs.

As Bulma was reaching up to stretch out her strained arm and back muscles, her stomach suddenly let out a very prolonged growl.

'Wow, I better eat something to get this stomach of mine to shut up.' Bulma considered in her mind. 'Now I really need to find Chi Chi so she can cook something.'

Bulma wasn't about to risk burning the kitchen into flames. She was a genius, probably the smartest on her planet, yet, she couldn't even make toast without burning it. She took off her dirty gloves and decided to make a detour into the bathroom to wash up before proceeding into the kitchen.

After washing herself off a bit, Bulma walked into the kitchen to see Chi Chi busy at the stove cooking something up for them to eat.

"Hey Chi!"

Chi Chi turned her head towards Bulma direction and let out an all knowing smile, and replied, "Hungry?"

"Wow, how DID you know?!" Bulma laughed back, knowing how obvious it was that she was hungry.

"Just a wild guess!" Chi Chi responded. "All right, the food's done." Chi Chi pulled out two plates and filled them up with food. She handed one to Bulma and set the other in front of herself at the table.

"Thanks Chi, this stuff is good!" Bulma exclaimed.

"Your welcome, and don't talk with your mouth full!" Chi Chi scolded. Even though Chi Chi was the youngest of the two, she acted like the older one. Chi Chi had just turned 21 years old, and Bulma was 22 years, going onto 23 in two more months.

"Hey Chi, as soon as I finish with this last project to help the Shanai-jins, I plan on us leaving, and setting off for another planet." Bulma informed.

"All right, you want me to get things ready in the control room then?" Chi Chi asked.

"Yeah, but I have to figure out which planet to go to next though so we can get things ready."

"Ooo, can I pick this time?" Chi Chi asked, with hope.

"Sure Chi, as long as you don't pick a planet full of ugly beast people who like eating human girls, but other than that, go ahead!!"

"Oh, shut up!" Chi Chi countered, in mock anger.

"Just kidding!" Bulma answered back, with her arms up, meaning no harm.

"Ha ha, well, anyway, I'm gonna go and train my muscles a bit, I guess your left with the dishes!!" Chi Chi exclaimed, as she ran out of the kitchen.

"Crap," was Bulma's only response, as she sighed and continued to finish up eating and wash the dishes.

************************************************************************

Somewhere out in space....

Vegeta was in the training room, with no shirt on, doing push ups with one finger. He decided to stop doing push ups and practice his fighting moves.

As soon as Vegeta stood up to do just that, the ship began beeping.

'I wonder what's wrong...'

Vegeta grabbed a towel, and left the training room. He swiftly walked down the hall leading to the control room. As soon as he got there, the computer informed him that he was only 2 hours away from reaching his destination....Shania-sei.

"Finally." he said out loud. Since Vegeta spent most of his time training, he quickly lost track of time, and the trip didn't seem all that long to him at all now...all thanks to the training room!

He quickly checked all of the settings on the ship to make sure everything was ready for the landing. When he was done with that, he decided to take a quick shower.

************************************************************************

On Bulma's ship in Shanai-sei....

After Bulma finished her task of washing the dishes, she decided to return to the lab and finish off the project. Bulma looked out of the small window she had put into the lab, and she could see Chi Chi outside practicing her kicks.

Bulma merely smiled and shook her head, 'I'll never be able to fight like that, I guess I'll just stick to the lab...'

Suddenly, the ship began to shake. Bulma became alarmed. Was the ship taking off? Oh no, that can't be it. Bulma glanced outside to see if Chi Chi felt it too. She saw Chi Chi with her hand shading her eyes from the sun, as she looked up. Bulma became curious and also looked up. Up above was a ship, ready to land. Bulma looked back at Chi Chi to see if she was still standing where she was before. Sure enough, she was. She hadn't even moved an inch.

Finally, the ship landed a good ten feet away from Chi Chi. Bulma stayed where she was and looked on through the window. The thought of the person being on the ship being hostile didn't even cross her mind. She looked on as the door to the ship opened to reveal a very handsome man. He possessed hair that was swept up into a flame-like style. He was also incredibly muscular.

The only thing that was able to pass through her mind was, `Wow.'

************************************************************************

Outside of the ship.....

Vegeta looked around for any life forms, his eyes set on a pretty raven-haired female. He smirked to himself. He knew that she wasn't from around here, since she didn't look anything like the natives. Vegeta had a hunch that she knew where the Briefs woman was.

Chi Chi looked on as a short man with A LOT of muscles walked closer to her. He stopped two feet away from her. He revealed to her a picture that he had been holding.

"Do you know the whereabouts of this woman?" he demanded in his deep voice.

Chi Chi took one last look at him, and then her eyes traveled to the picture he was holding in front of her. She took one quick look at it, and immediately recognized the blue-hair, and the person that blue hair belonged to, in the picture.

"Bulma?" Chi Chi questioned, as she looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Yes, Bulma Briefs, do you know where she is?!" Vegeta demanded, quickly losing his patience.

"I don't know, it depends on what you want from her." Chi Chi replied, not liking his tone of voice.

"So wench, you do know where the woman is....." Vegeta replied.

"No....." she answered, very unconvincingly. She had a tone of uncertainty in her voice. Vegeta didn't believe her at all.

Vegeta shoved the picture back into his pocket and grabbed a handful of her silky black hair. Chi Chi screamed and threw a punch at him.

'Hmm, not bad for a weakling...' Vegeta thought. He looked her over as he held her. 'Not bad looking either...'

"LET ME GOOO!!" Chi Chi screamed at him.

"Not until you tell me where the woman is!" Vegeta yelled back.

************************************************************************

Inside the ship....

Bulma couldn't hear a thing. Suddenly, Bulma's blue eyes widened. She looked on with horror as the strange man began pulling Chi Chi's hair. Bulma tore her eyes away from the scene developing in front of her, as she turned around. Bulma immediately began rummaging through her stuff, searching for her gun. Bulma found it, and proceeded to run out of the ship, to the aide of Chi Chi.

************************************************************************

Outside the ship.....

Vegeta now totally lost hold of his patience. He knew that this wasn't going anywhere. He swiftly pushed some pressure points on her neck, rendering her unconscious.

Chi Chi felt darkness enveloping her suddenly. However, she saw one important thing before the darkness completely took over her, and that piece of information would be helpful with her upcoming journey.

'He has......a tail.....?' was the last thought to go through Chi Chi's mind before the blackness took over.

As soon as Vegeta felt Chi Chi go unconscious, he caught her before she hit the ground. He held her in his arms. Suddenly, he felt a stinging sensation on his right arm. He looked up to see where it was coming from. His eyes met ocean-blue ones, blazing with worry for her friend, and anger for him. She was pointing a gun at him.

"Nice aim wench, but you won't be able to hit me again."

Bulma continued to point the gun at him, "Put her down, NOW!" Bulma screamed.

Vegeta looked on with amusement as she held the gun, aiming at him, she shook with fear. Vegeta continued to hold the unconscious Chi Chi in his arms.

"Let her go, or....or I won't hesitate to shoot!"

"I'd like to see you try again woman, but if you do try again, I'll make sure that it's your little friend you hit." Vegeta finished off with malice in his voice. He amplified what he meant by pulling Chi Chi's head up by her hair with his right hand, while his left arm kept her up off the ground, and close to him. She let out a small pain-filled groan.

Black coal eyes kept their gaze on ice blue ones.

'Oh my god, Chi Chi! What do I do.....What do I do......?!'

"What do you want from us?!" Bulma shrieked. Her hands were shaking, she was concentrating to keep herself from falling over because her knees were shaking so much.

Vegeta stared at her in her pathetic state.

"Well!?!? WHAT.......DO......YOU.......WAAANT" Bulma yelled with anger. Vegeta's eyes widened with her sudden anger filled outburst. She went from being pathetically scared, to a livid banshee.

"You."

Bulma's eyes blinked with confusion. "Me?"

"Hard of hearing?" Vegeta sneered.

Now Bulma was really scared. She was so worried about Chi Chi. And, what the hell did he want with her.

"What do you want from me?" Bulma asked, all this while pointing the gun at him.

"Enough pointless questions, you are coming with me."

Bulma was so scared, but she rather him just take her, than see Chi Chi get hurt. Bulma finally made her decision.

"Fine, I'll go with you, but you better not hurt her."

"I'll do as I wish, wench."

Bulma looked at him with shock. 'There is just no compromising with him is there!' Bulma thought hatefully.

"Enough idle talk." Vegeta declared. Suddenly he disappeared, with Chi Chi in his arms. Bulma looked on with confusion.

'Where did he go.......AND WITH CHI CHI!!' Bulma's mind screamed at her. Unexpectedly, a blur formed two feet in front of her. That blur formed into that strange man with Chi Chi in his arms. Out of surprise, Bulma dropped the gun. Before Bulma could reach down and get it, he grabbed her by the shoulder. Now, he was holding her with both of his hands. He had Chi Chi draped over his left shoulder.

Vegeta looked down at Bulma and pushed her away from the gun, and onto the ground. Bulma fell on her behind, she then helped elevate herself with her elbows, just enough to have a clear view of Vegeta.

Vegeta looked down at the gun now resting at his feet. He secured the unconscious woman on his left shoulder. Vegeta reached down, and picked up the gun. He studied it. Bulma looked on with horror, as he pointed it at her.

Vegeta noticed the look on her face while he pointed the gun. Vegeta abruptly moved his hand that was holding the gun, so that the gun now pointed to Chi Chi's back.

'Primitive weapon, but it works in scaring the woman nonetheless.....'Vegeta thought to himself. Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her with malice.

Bulma's eyes widened. "No, don't! Please, just leave her be, I'll come with you!"

"That's more like it." he smirked. "Now get up bitch. Get your stuff together, we will be leaving soon."

Bulma got up and nodded, casting her gaze at the floor. He nodded his head to indicate for her to get into the ship and grab some of her belongings. Bulma boarded the ship, she felt his presence behind her.

'Great, he followed me onto the ship.' Bulma thought grimly.

"Wench, you have no more than five minutes to get your belongings together. And I don't want any false moves!"

Bulma simply nodded her head, letting him know that she heard him. Bulma went to her room, of course with him right behind her. She reached for her suitcase of capsules, which contained anything she needed, including a communicator. Hopefully, he wouldn't check her stuff.

Vegeta looked on as she grabbed the suitcase. She turned back towards him, and glance up at him, informing him that she was done. Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her. `Is this all the wench will be taking.'

"Is that all you choose to take?" Vegeta asked.

"Yes." Bulma whispered back.

"So be it." Vegeta swiftly relieved himself from the burden of holding Chi Chi by dumping her on Bulma's bed. He then turned and grabbed Bulma by the arm, as he dragged her out of the ship, and into his.

'I did the right thing, because of my sacrifice, Chi Chi will be safe, and she can inform Daddy, so he can do something to save me.' Bulma thought logically.

Vegeta kept his hold on Bulma's arm very tight. Bulma began feeling pain in her arm. "Would you loosen your grip, your hurting me!" Bulma whimpered.

Vegeta glared at her, "Stupid pathetic weak female." he mumbled. He was practically dragging Bulma behind him. Bulma looked down, and her eyes widened.

'He....He has a tail!' Bulma's mind screamed.

He had it securely wrapped around his waist. Bulma tried to ignore it, but she was so mesmerized by it. I mean, it's not everyday you see a strange man with a tail! Bulma reached over to touch the tail with her hand that wasn't being dragged by Vegeta or holding the suitcase.

All this while, Vegeta's mind was totally in a different world. He was thinking over and over again in his mind about all of the different ways he was going to kill Frieza for making him carry out this stupid mission. However, he came back to his senses, just in time to feel somebody's hand a little too close to his tail.

Before Bulma could actually touch his tail, she felt herself suddenly get slammed into the wall. Bulma felt somebody holding her against the wall. She shook her head to get rid of her blurry vision. As soon as her blurry vision went away, her eyes focused on black eyes that were piercing right into her own. Those eyes had the look of murder in them.

The fear made Bulma breathe harder. Her head was killing her. It felt like somebody hit her head with a hammer.

Vegeta was so angry, he wanted to kill the wench. Who did she think she was, trying to pull his tail. "What the hell do you think you are doing trying to pull my tail, bitch." Vegeta requested in a murderous tone of voice. "I should kill you for your insolence, wench."

Bulma cast her eyes down. She couldn't withstand looking into those homicidal eyes any longer. Vegeta saw this and roughly grabbed her chin. He moved her chin upward, so that she was looking at him. Her eyes were wide with fear. Vegeta leaned in, his voice getting more and more menacing, "Don't...you....ever...even.....think...about touching my tail......bitch." he finished off his statement, while thrusting her chin away from him, so her head turned to the side.

He took one last look at her, and grabbed her arm. He proceeded to lead her to her room, her prison.

As soon as they reached the room designated for her, he shoved her in there, and locked the door from the outside. As soon as he did so, Bulma ran to the door and began hitting it. Bulma at this point, was crying. After a while, she gave up all together, and accepted the fact that she was now a prisoner to some homicidal lunatic with a tail. She ran to the bed, and curled up on it. She buried her face in a pillow, and began sobbing uncontrollably, and kept on saying over and over again, "Why me.....WHY ME......"

In Bulma's eyes, her Hell had just begun.
