Chapter Seven: Finally, the woman figures it out!
The five of them stood in the front of the woods, together, thinking of the best possible plot to try and get through the woods. They couldn't go around it; it circled around the city of Ginger town completely, so there was no easy opening. They couldn't go above it, either; well, most of them couldn't at least. The only way to go above it was to ride the Nimbus, and only Goku and Chi-Chi could do that. People with pure hearts are able to easily ride the Nimbus, but as for the others. well, their heart just wasn't pure enough. It had been hours since they got there, and all they did was sit. There wasn't much to do, and it was hard think of anything other than around or over. It was out of the question to go through.
Goku sat down on the rough terrain, his legs crossed and he was leaning back, putting all his weight on his hands. His tail moved back and forth like a kittens' at anonymous times, occasionally the tip of it slowly going up and down his girlfriend Chi-Chi's arm. She sat comfortably in between his legs, leaning her head on his chest and her eyes closed. She smiled.
"I could be like this forever," she whispered, more to herself than Goku. But naturally he heard.
"You could?" he asked questionably. "We can be like this all the time after we get married, but for now we have to help July." Chi-Chi laughed, sitting up and looking in his eyes.
"I guess you're right Goku. Say, I guess now that we have free time, why don't we talk about out wedding?"
"Well sure, if that's what you want to talk about."
"Who's going to be the man of honor and the bridesmaid first of all? Krillin and Bulma?" Goku shrugged.
"I guess so, if that's what you want. Speaking of Bulma, is she over there talking to Vegeta?"
He pointed over by the woods, where Yamcha, Vegeta, and Bulma were talking. Well, at least Vegeta and Bulma were. While the two were standing up and exchanging conversation, Yamcha stood with his arms crossed while leaning against the trunk of a tree. His eyes looked angry, and they were constantly on watch of the two.
"He must be jealous," Chi-Chi explained.
"Yeah, must be." Krillin walked over and sat beside the two, also watching Yamcha intently. "Ever since Bulma started making friends with Vegeta, Yamcha's been on constant watch. He's really jealous."
"I'm just wondering why?" Chi-Chi, snorting. "He's probably slept with every girl in the school, except me of course, and she still forgives him. I think she deserves a break from him."
"I guess so." Goku never really thought about Yamcha's lack of loyalty that much, although he knew that was crucial in a relationship. But he knew in his heart he would never hurt Chi-Chi like his friend had done for Bulma in the past. She was too important to give up. He couldn't wait to get married to her, even though he couldn't fully understand it too well. He just knew it was a bond.
"Hey Goku," Krillin whispered, looking over at the two. "You have good hearing. Try and pick up what they're saying."
"But-" he cut off in mind-sentence to quiet his tone. "But isn't that eaves- dropping?"
"You betcha!"
He wasn't sure about doing something like that, and he felt it was wrong, but encouragement form his fiancé and best friend clouded his own judgment a little too much. He decided to go ahead and try to figure what they were saying; besides, he was pretty curious himself.
~
"So, you're saying you used to live here?" Bulma asked Vegeta, who was standing with his arms crossed. "Like, how long ago?"
"Eleven years ago," he said. "I had a best friend, but. she doesn't remember me."
"Oh, well that's too bad. That seems sad, that your own best friend wouldn't remember. And I wouldn't think it'd be that hard, considering you have a tail."
A rock sank in Vegeta's heart, then again, there was a rage growing as well. After giving her a clue like that, she still couldn't figure it out? Honestly, she has the fact that he has a tail, he hasn't really changed in looks too much, his name is a pretty big clue, and then this? She was dumber than he thought. And this is the mechanical Capsule Corporation genius?
"You know, I had a friend too a long time ago," she started, putting a finger on her chin and looking up. "I can't remember him at all though. I just know he had to leave, and I was really sad."
"Not at all?" he asked. She even had the image of the day he left, and she still couldn't figure it out.
"Why're you so curious about it?" Yamcha snorted under his breath, but Vegeta along with Bulma could easily hear. "It's not like it should be important or anything."
"Oh shut up, Yamcha!" Bulma snapped, putting her hands on her hips. "If Vegeta wants to talk about it, then I'll be happy to! It'll be more fun than talking about it with you, that's for sure! Hey.."
She turned back to Vegeta, who was looking at the two with a scowl, as usual. She started to study him in the face, closer than what she would normally do to any boy, but it was then she started to notice things about him. He looked at her strangely, and he raised an eyebrow.
"What's the matter with you, woman?" he asked talking loudly but not shouting. Then she started to giggle, and he was starting to get confused. His quick temper was starting to boil. "What?! Spit it out already!"
"I never would have guessed." she sighed, covering her mouth, trying to stop her laughter. ".Why did you hide it, Vegeta? I know who you are now!"
"Y-You do?"
"Yeah! YOU'RE my old friend, stupid! How could I forget?"
~
Goku jumped back in surprise, making Chi-Chi fall over as well. He didn't know how to react to this news. He was just plain surprised. Krillin looked behind him at his friend who had fallen over and went to help him and Chi- Chi. He smiled.
"So uh, what'd you hear?" he asked in a sarcastic tone. "Anything good?"
"You bet!" he replied, wiping the dirt off his clothes as he stood up. "Bulma's old best friend from when she was a kid was Vegeta! He knew her even before we did! But you couldn't hear them? They said it loud enough to me."
"Maybe your hearing has something to do with that tail of yours," Chi-Chi muttered, massaging her backside. "And let me tell you, don't EVER do that again while I'm with you do you understand Goku?"
"Okay, sorry, Chi-Chi!"
~
Vegeta smirked, acting very calmly about her response unlike the others. Yamcha along with Goku as he knew it heard the whole thing, and they seemed very surprised. But he was feeling more of relief and at the same time excitement; not that he let his body show it, of course.
"About time, Bulma," he said in his usual confident sounding tone. "I thought you'd never get it."
"Oh, wow, now that I know it's you." Her voice trailed off as her eyes began to water up and she ringed her arms around his neck, making Vegeta stagger back a few paces in surprise. "Vegeta. who knew you of all people were my best friend."
"Well." He tried to say something back, but truth be told, he was nervous. That was something he never felt, but he knew why he felt like it. He didn't know why, but his mind was telling him to embrace this instead of stand there with a surprised look n his face. But he didn't get that chance; a strong punch in the face knocked him out of Bulma's grip and sent him sliding on the dirt ground. He looked up and Yamcha was standing firmly, with his fists clenched.
"God, what is your problem?!" Vegeta shouted, massaging his cheek. "I wasn't doing anything!"
"You stay off Bulma," he said in a hiss so deep that it was like a whisper. He was really mad this time. But Vegeta didn't really feel too much pain in the blow he gave him; it only tingled a little bit, and he bet Yamcha wasn't thinking that.
"You want to fight me?" Vegeta asked, standing up and brushing the dirt on his clothes. But eh didn't get into any position to fight. He just stood there with that smirk on his face, and that only made Yamcha's blood boil even more. "Come and get me then. What are you waiting for?"
Before another word was said Yamcha charged at Vegeta, shouting at the top of his lungs like he'd done so many times before, "Wolf Fang Fist!" But when he completed his most powerful attack and turned around to see the beaten Vegeta, he wasn't there at all. He smiled.
"Ha. He backed out did he?"
"No. I'm right behind you."
Yamcha whirled back around to see Vegeta standing there in the same way he had been seconds before, only before he was in a different spot.
Oh great, Yamcha thought nervously, though he kept his pose. This guy's as fast as Goku!
For the first time Vegeta started to visibly move, putting his hands together, and inside a bright light started to form. It was getting bigger, and bigger while he shouted those simple words.
Oh no! Not another person who can do the Kamehameha!
"Vegeta, stop!"
The bright light immediately dimmed away as Bulma stood in between the two.
"What's your problem Bulma?!" Vegeta shouted, starting the attack over again. "Move out of the way, now!"
"No!" Before he could stop though, he let out the large ki ball from his hands aimed at Yamcha followed by at least twenty smaller ones that were uncontrollably thrown. Huge clumps of dirt flew into the air when the ki blasts collided with the ground and everyone covered their eyes. Dust rose in the air, clouding everyone's vision, and it took minutes before everything was calm again.
Yamcha was lying flat on the ground, his usually stylish clothes ripped and torn. Cuts ripped open on his arms trying to defend his face from the blast and blood trickled down on his body. His clothes were soaked with blood, and a sore pain was exploding on very inch of his body. Vegeta saw this, and he smirked.
"Hmph. And you thought you could stand a chance against me," he said. Then he looked around in every direction, ignoring Yamcha and asking, "Where's Bulma?"
"I'm over here!" she said. Vegeta turned and she was fine, hiding behind Goku along with Chi-Chi and Krillin. She walked out from behind him and ran over to Yamcha, at first with a worried and sympathetic look and then one of anger. "Yamcha, you idiot! Did you really think you could stand a chance against someone with a tail that could throw ki! You knew those facts already! By challenging him to a stupid fight, you could have gotten us all killed!"
"Oh sure, show some sympathy for him," her said sarcastically, coughing out a little blood. Vegeta rolled his eyes at the poor sight.
"I wasn't even getting started and he's down," he muttered. "And this fight wasn't all that bad, Bulma. It solved our problem of going through the woods."
"What are you talking about?"
"Look over there."
Vegeta pointed over the woods, but for a good distance it was no more. In a long straight line down the woods, the roots of the trees had been torn out the ground and scattered. What remained was a long path.
"Hey, it does work out!" Chi-Chi said excitedly. "And if we come across more woods, we can just use the Kamehameha wave to get it out of the way!"
"And maybe we should go to the town as fast as possible," Krillin suggested, trying to hoist Yamcha on his back. "I think he needs a treatment soon after what Vegeta did to him."
"Come on, hurry!" Bulma said, running in the direction of the woods. "Let's go to Ginger Town!"
Argh, it still bothers me that I feel it's short, even after six Word pages! Oh well.
Mushi-azn: Yeah, seriously. I feel the same exact way! Vegeta is the sexiest character, along with his son (future one, of course; I don't like the GT version). But Trunks is cute as a kid though!
Vegeta-is-Forgotten: I'll torture him as much as I can! And if you think this chapter is even remotely torture, wait for later chapters when I get him BAD! *evil smile*
Dreamer Wisher: Alright, I'll be sure to check out your story! Look out for my reviews, aright? The categories are Bulma/Vegeta, Romance, PG or PG-13? Tell me so I'll find it easier, kay? ^_~
Venni: Who knows what'll happen? I'll just try throw in more B/V here in there, but I feel it's too early. I guess I'm one of the slower writers, with the longer stories and stuff. I just look around here and when I read the stories about Vegeta and Bulma meeting eachother for the first time, it seems like within one night their hooked I kinda just wanted to change that, you know? Bear with me, more will appear! More than you think!
Pandora666: Thanks for the excellent compliment, that's real inspirational! Sadly, I won't be able to e-mail you because my e-mail is down at the moment, but I hope you continue reading just the same. ^_^
And for everyone wanting more B/V action, I'll give you some, don't worry. More than you expect, too I'll bet! *is good at shocking people* But I'll have to keep it a secret for now! ^_^
