Dragonball E

It Didn't Begin With Love

Chapter 4: Reconciliation



~~Earth's Orbit~~

Vegeta looked on at the planet before him.

"A short training session." he remarked "It is good that I was able to learn to control my Super Saiya-jin transformation. And an entire year left until the Artificial Humans arrive."

Vegeta piloted his ship down to Earth, and landed it near Capsule Corporation. The gangplank lowered to the ground and Vegeta stepped out. His armor was rent and his jumpsuit tattered. He went into the house and took a shower. The prince put on some civilian clothing and sat on the sofa. It was then he heard a familiar voice.

"Vegeta! You're home!" It was Buruma

"I live here.but this is not my home." He noticed something "B- Buruma? Why-why does your belly stick out so.no.don't tell me."

"Yep. He's yours Vegeta. The Sonogram was a few months ago. You're going to have a son soon Vegeta."

This was a shock. "I.I'm sorry.If I had enough strength I could have.but I seemingly was not able to do so."

Saiya-jin men all had the ability to make their discharges contain no genetic materials. Tightening a certain muscle in lower the back caused a gland to release a special enzyme into the internal portion of the reproductive a system. The enzyme would then cause a reflex reaction in which sperm cells become blocked off by the constriction of internal tubes. It was quite a useful skill, and it was one hundred percent effective. Vegeta knew this, and he tried to pull it off, but he was too stricken with his Cycle to tighten the correct muscle.

"No need to be sorry! I am happy to bear your child! He will be a member of the mighty warrior race of Saiya-jin! A prince at that! I would be proud to have him."

Somewhere under Vegeta's cold shell he was touched. She was willing to bring his progeny into the world. His head dipped forward and he held his face with his hand. Overcome with emotion, he began to shed tears. Buruma hugged him gently.

"A son.I never thought.such a thing.a new Saiya-jin.promise me."

"If you die, I will teach him the ways of the Saiya-jin."

"Well..that too.but I was referring to.promise me you won't tell Kakkarotto I got emotional, okay?"

"All right. Promise made."

Vegeta collapsed from his fatigue. Buruma carried him to his room and made him comfortable. Possibly due to the night she spent with Vegeta, her strength had increased slightly and it enabled her to carry him easily, even with a baby on the way.

"Training pretty intensely, eh?" asked Buruma as she left

".whatever."

"Humph!" Buruma stepped out of the room

"I can control it now." Said Vegeta before Buruma could close the door

"Hmm?"

"I can become a Super Saiya-jin at will now."

"That's great! I won't tell anyone, okay...ah!"

Vegeta sprung up "What is it?"

"My water broke! He's a month early!"

"No he isn't! Saiya-jin babies develop slightly faster than Earthlings!"

Buruma screamed in pain, and squeezed Vegeta's hand enough to make him wince

"I don't care! Just get me to the West Capital Municipal Hospital!"

"All right, all right, just stop squeezing so hard!"

Vegeta picked up Buruma and hastened on foot to the hospital. He ran just over 55 MPH. It was a miracle he could Run, considering how tired he was; but you'd make haste too if your hand was being crushed in a vice. Buruma was put into a maternity ward . Vegeta stood by her.

"Okay, we're going to need some morphine, possibly some-"

Vegeta growled "Using drugs on an expectant mother.Savages!"

Vegeta put his hand on Buruma's belly and fed ki into her. Buruma's birth regions were numbed, and with one push, the child came out. The doctor and the nurses were dumbfounded. They began to clean the boy up, and they found his tail.

"This is scientifically impossible! How in the world? First the father makes the mother feel no pain, then the kid has a tail? Miss Briefs, Shall we remove it?"

"Leave an inch or so" said Buruma "If he wants it grown back later in life, it can be his perogative."

The doctor did as she wished, and handed the baby to her.

"He's so cute." said Buruma "Vegeta, what do you think his name should be?"

"I would name him Vegeta Jhun Vegeta XXXIX..but since it is tradition for the mother to name the child, both here and on Vegeta-sei, I leave it to you."

"All right. Trunks."

Vegeta rolled his eyes "Briefs.Bloomers.Trunks.does your family name anybody after anything other than undergarments?"

Buruma laughed "Not that I know of"

Vegeta picked up Trunks "A Saiya-jin warrior is born. May the War God grant him strength. May he bring honor to his race. Your name is Trunks, son of Vegeta XXXVIII, son of Vegeta XXXVII." He handed Trunks back to Buruma

"Do they say that to every Saiya-jin baby?"

"In the past, yes. Trunks is the first since Furiza conquered our planet. Many of our rituals were made illegal. Furiza religiously and culturally oppressed all those he conquered."

"That's horrible! Were you given this rite?"

"I was. My little sister was not so fortunate."

"You had a sister, Vegeta?"

"Yes.but I will not speak openly of her now."

"I hope Trunks grows up to be strong like his father.and I hope his father is alive to see him."

***** ~~The Day of The Cell Game~~

One blast. One blast to the chest and he was dead. The future version of his son was dead. Cell had returned. Mirai Trunks was his first victim. The prince's hidden feelings became evident. It did not show on the surface, but he cared for his son, and he cared for the one whom brought him into the world. Vegeta hated himself when he was unable to save them from Gero's attack. Paralyzed with fear when the dust cloud covered him.

The day Vegeta-sei was destroyed.it was also the day he lost his sister. They were on a purging mission together, when all of a sudden there was a horrible dust storm. They were both caught in the whirlwind, and Vegeta lost sight of Letuccia. Then he blacked out.and when he came to, he was all alone. From then on dust clouds filled him with fear. What was worse, he soon received news from Nappa that Vegeta-sei had been destroyed. King Vegeta.Queen Rubarbara.Princess Letuccia.his companions.all gone. Vegeta had lost everyone dear to him before, and it was starting all over again.

Suddenly Vegeta snapped; he completely lost control. Powering up to Chou Super Saiya-jin, he began blasting Cell with all his might. A player of Final Fantasy would have said someone had cast Berserk on him. A Slayers fan would have said he could destroy the demon lords in that state. A Breath of Fire enthusiast would say he was more fearsome than Barubary. That any one man could love his son so would have brought tears to the hardest of hearts.

Vegeta attacked to no avail, until he himself was on the ground. Cell prepared a blast that would certainly kill him. As the blast drew near at incredible speed, Vegeta thought to himself at a faster rate. Vegeta thought about Buruma, and about little Trunks. He realized that they were not just people in his life, they were his family. Buruma cared about his pride.cared about his honor.she saved his life.she bore his child. Trunks was born of his and Buruma's union, and he was proud of him. In that short moment he had time to reflect.

"So this is it.I shall never see them again.I have been wished back once before, and I shall certainly be sent to hell for all I have done.Trunks.I hope you become strong, my son.Buruma.I realize it now.I.don't just want to live in the same house as you.I want you as my mate.I want to be with you forever.for you I have.Vintaya, Kireina, Aladria, Infinitia.no.in the time it would say to complete the word in my own tongue, I would be obliterated before I finished.

Vegeta smiled "Buruma.I love you.fare-"

Before Vegeta could finish, a figure half his size jumped in front of the blast and blocked it with his arm.The Son of Kakkarotto! Vegeta had time to escape. Gohan's arm was messed up pretty bad, but he managed a Kame Hame Ha. Vegeta watched as the others tried to help. Gohan and Cell's Kame Hame Ha blasts became more intense.

"I have been given another chance to live."

Gohan intensified his blast, and so did Cell. Vegeta powered up a Ki Ball.

".Another chance to be with Buruma."

Vegeta made the ball larger, his body covered in blood and sweat, and with barely enough energy.

".This is Buruma's.Trunks'.and MY world.I will not let him take it away from us! I will not let them die!"

Vegeta aimed his blast and focused.

".I must help the Z-Senshi...no...."

He shouted out as well as he could

"I AM A Z-SENSHI!!!"

He powered up as high as he could, his ki reaching new heights

"GET OFF MY PLANET!!!"

Vegeta's heart pounded as he threw the ball. It struck Cell square in the head. Gohan Kiad one last time, and his Kame Hame Ha overtook Cell's. Cell's body ripped to shreds as he was blasted into space. There was nothing left but space dust. Cell was dead. Gohan reverted and fell to the ground. Everyone gathered around him, everyone that is, except Vegeta, who flew off.

"I have something to do that must be done." he thought as he slowly headed towards Capsule Corp.

*****

Buruma came home in her jet. She was about to go inside, when Vegeta appeared. She was surprised when he wrapped his arms around her.

"Vegeta?"

"I almost died today..and I realized something-"

Buruma kissed Vegeta then, for she could feel what he was going to say. Their lips met, and they locked tightly. They held each other closer.

"I love you too.my prince."

"I didn't even say it yet."

"Hmm? I didn't say it either! All I did was.think it."

**Apparently we have bonded** said Vegeta

**Really? All I am doing is thinking what I want to Say to you and putting my will into it.It's that easy?**

**Yes.we are one now.**

**So we're like, married then?**

**By Saiya-jin standards, yes.**

**That was too fast.I want an earth wedding, Vegeta.**

**Anything for you.**

**I want you to say it.**

**say what.? Oh.that Earth thing.Buruma.will you marry me?**

**Of course I will.I love you Veggie-Chan**

**And I love you.Bloomers.**

Vegeta faltered from his low energy. Buruma caught him and carried him to his room.

"You really gave it your all, didn't you? I seem to always end up carrying you."

"You can carry me all you want" said Vegeta weakly "For the rest of our lives.after every one of my many battles.I want you there when I come home.here.Earth.Capsule Corporation.by your side.."

"You sure have changed, huh?"

"..."

*****

Within a half a year Buruma and Vegeta were married. Buruma Briefs became Buruma Vegeta. The wedding was spectacular; scores were invited, including many from distant parts of the galaxy and distant cousins of Buruma. There were many old friends of both of them, and of Goku's. Vegeta's doctor was there,; he had been on earth for some time, for he brought the plans and materials for Buruma to make the armor that Goku trained in. Gohan, Chichi and Gyuu Maou were there. Chichi had another baby with her; born shortly before May. The lad's name was Goten. Kuririn made decorations. Gohan was the usher. Dende himself was there to act as minister. There was only one camera crew and one reporter allowed in. After all, how often does the heiress to Capsule Corporation get married any way? It was big news. Vegeta dressed in a black tux. Buruma wore white Saiya-jin armor with a silver cape; it certainly had a woman's touch. Vows were exchanged, and they were wed.

That night, the bed where Buruma saved Vegeta's life became the bed where they expressed their undying love; and it was so from then on. They were a close couple for seven years. After the defeat of Majin Buu they became even more close, and they became closer to their son. Vegeta and Goku at last became true friends after a long and bitter rivalry. Six years after Buu's defeat, they were blessed with a little princess. They named her Bra Lettucia Vegeta. Buruma and Vegeta were so much in love with each other, but when they reminisce about the beginnings of their relationship, and others ask how it all started, the first thing they would say is:

It didn't begin with love
