I'm real sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I suck, I know. It's been like what, two months? I had the whole chapter written but then I lost the whole entire story because it was on Floppy disc, so I had to Copy/Paste the rest of the chapters I already typed on my computer, then I rewrote the last chapter, only it's very short, sorry. Only about 2 ½ Word pages long. -_-; Lotsa other stuff has been going on too, plus I'm working on my Final Fantasy story. Anyone ever play that series? Tell me if you like it, I always love getting t know my readers! ^_^
Chapter 8: Butterfly kisses, back then and now
Strange. It was just absolutely strange. Vegeta. Her old best friend? The now short tempered boy she just met yesterday was the same sweet and protective child she knew before? It's just amazing how fast people change in personality. Something must have really gotten to him over that time.
"Yeah, after so many years," Bulma muttered as she walked through the woods. No one heard her, and she was thankfully glad. No one would even know what she was talking about anyway, and Vegeta would probably find it amusing. Her head was starting to hurt from trying to remember Vegeta better in the past, but she didn't complain. She just really wanted to remember, but all she could picture were a few things, like what he looked like and how he acted to her. No real memories of them doing anything together. She sighed. It was a real shame, too.
"What is it?" Bulma looked up from her deep thought and jumped back when she saw Vegeta's face right in front of her. She looked away at first, a little bit of red lining her cheeks, but she knew she had t answer quickly. He would get mad if she didn't.
But of course, she was too late for him. "Fine Bulma, if you don't want my concern for you then I won't give it to you!"
"Oh Shut up!" she argued back. Bulma pushed him out of the way as best as she could with full force, and blindly stomped away from him in the direction of Ginger Town. Her eyes were only half-closed, and her fists were clenched tightly to her sides. But why would she be so mad over something as silly as that? He couldn't possibly mean it. Maybe it was because she knew that they once cared for eachother that it made her so mad. Yeah, that made sense.
While she was walking angrily, even with her eyes open she foolishly didn't watch where she was going, and the next thing she knew she had her face in the dirt. She pushed herself up a little with her arms and looked behind her, clearly showing more anger and embarrassment in her face which only deepened when she saw a large tree trunk. She didn't see THAT!? It was huge!
It was probably from that blast Vegeta did, Bulma thought. She was about to get up when she felt a strong arm carry her up automatically. She looked over to find Vegeta standing next to her with that cold hard look one his face, as if he didn't care. Hah, she saw right through that one easy. Why else would he help?
"Thanks, Vegeta," Bulma's angered had immediately subsided as she was looking in the cold hard eyes of the young man before her. He nodded in reply.
"Yeah whatever," he replied. "Are you hurt any bit?"
"Just my face. I think my cheeks filled up with dirt! They feel really sore!"
It came rather sudden to her, but it happened. A Flashback. Not a small vision of his voice, or a clearer version of what he looked like; a real flashback.
~
"Bulma!" Vegeta shouted as he ran to her, kneeling by her side on his short legs. She had been pushed in the mud, and her new clothes for her kindergarten school had been completely ruined. She just sat her in the watery dirt on her knees crying while the large boy in front of her laughed. Vegeta's temper rose.
"Why'd you do that?!" he shouted at the boy, who was snickering.
"Because, Bulma had pretty clothes," he answered. "Just because she's rich, doesn't mean she has to have better clothes. It makes the rest of us look poor."
"Deal with it! Bulma wasn't mean to you!"
"You wanna fight, Vegeta?"
"Yeah!"
Vegeta stood up, only his tiny shoes drenched in mud as he got into a martial arts fighting stance that he once saw on TV. The pudgy boy just stood there with a large grin, patting his large belly as if it were his ultimate weapon. But it was only a swift punch in the face from the younger of the two that stopped the fight. The boy slammed hard into the ground, his face looking straight up into the sky. Blood was starting to seep out of his large nose, and a headache ensued. Eventually he started to cry as well, but Vegeta paid no attention to him and went straight to Bulma.
"Bulma, are you okay?" he asked in his worried voice. "Did he hurt you any bit?"
"Uh-uh," she said through the now drying tears. It was still a litter hard to talk. "But my cheek hurt. I think I scraped it on the sidewalk."
"Dummy. There's n sidewalk in the mud."
"There is one underneath it, stupid!" Bulma shouted back. Instead of losing his temper, Vegeta smiled and hugged her tightly, just glad that she was okay. He heard once that someone got pushed down in the mud and they hit a rock. It hurt them so hard they went to the hospital. He didn't want that o happen to Bulma.
He let go of her momentarily just to kiss her on the cheek, in which Bulma smiled and kissed him in return.
"Thanks Veggie-head," she said smiling.
"I'll get a teacher now, okay?" Vegeta said, letting go and standing up.
Later Bulma remembered telling him that she once had a butterfly land on her nose and it moved around a lot, but it stayed with her for the longest time. She told him that when he kissed her on the cheek, that's what it felt like.
"Well, let's call them butterfly kisses," he said to her. "I'll give you one when you're hurt or sad, the you'll feel better and we can play again!"
"Okay!"
~
"Butterfly kisses," Bulma muttered under her breath, looking down with little dewdrops of tears in her eyes. Vegeta looked at her questioningly, with a now confused looks in his eyes. Then for a split second, Bulma could have sworn he smiled.
"You remember those stupid things, eh?" he said. "What an idiotic idea."
"No it isn't!" she assured. "It was cute. And it's nice to be comforted like that."
For a second Vegeta stared at her. Cute? It was cute? I can't even believe she remembered something like that! What a stupid thing to do.. Why is she staring at me? What does she want me to do?
Before he could make up his mind, Bulma felt light tickle on her cheek, right on top of the little scrape she received from her fall. It was light, barely touching her skin, but she knew what it was.
"A promise is a promise," Vegeta sighed. "I said whenever you were hurt or sad, remember?"
"They used to feel like butterflies, and they still do."
Yup, Like I said before, short and sweet. But wow... *looks at reviews* TEN whole reviews for ONE chapter? *Jumps for joy* Yay! I'm so glad you people love it! And I promise I won't leave you hanging that long again, and I'll try to keep my stories at least 5 Word pages long or more.
Next time: Everyone finally reaches Ginger Town, where they lay the injured Yamcha to rest at an Inn. Well, well, while Goku and Chi-Chi are exploring this beautiful small town, they find an engaged couple who wants to have a double Wedding! And who are the two perfect people that they befriend so easily? Plus, The Grooms lucky charm is none other than the One Star Dragonball! How will they get it? Next time one Dragonball: After so Many years!
Little Anonymous Dude: Don't worry, I'll be writing a LOT more!
Venni: I know you said longer, but this one ended up shorter! Funny how things work, eh? *Sweatdrops as Venni prepares huge ki ball* Uh-oh. NO WAIT! I CAN EXPLAIN! AAAAAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh....*Hears loud explosion in the distance*
Pandora666: Sorry, no dumping Yamcha just yet. But don't worry, my dear friend, the time will come. Oh yes, the time will come. But who will dump who, may I ask?
Tenshi: Goody! I'm glad you like B/V stories! They're my second favorite, after twisted T/P stories. No wait, they're my favorite.. Or maybe it's a tie? No, it's definitely my favorite *rambles on*
Yami Shinigami: Yup it's a B/V and a little CC/G, and if you want to call it a B/V/Y triangle you can, but that third end of the triangle sure as heck isn't doing its job. ^_^
AngelBabe14: Yup, of course I'll check out your story. I haven't checked my reviews up until a few days ago, so if it seems like I'm ignoring your story, I honestly am not! Don't think that way at all!
DemonGurl2021: Yup, more torture, more fun! But why should I kill him? *whispers in ear* See, here's what I got planned: More B/V interaction = More Yamcha torture. More V beating the crap out of Yamcha = More Yamcha torture. Then more Yamcha watching the B/V relationship get really close and a throughout their whole lives bond thing = Evil Mass Destruction torture! See, if I make him tie, he won't squirm later. But I still might consider it. *also grins evilly*
DBZChicky501: Oh, don't worry about that whole review thing! I should be apologizing myself! *Prepares for another ki ball* NO! DON'T! ... *regains composure* ahem.
Little-princess: Yay, you came and reviewed my story! I'm so happy! *dances for joy* Yeah, you can sort of tell in this chapter they have a special relationship, so they will! Update on your story soon, okay? Promise? *Puts on puppy dog eyes*
SEXY VIXEN: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! I'm glad you like it! I'm sorry for the wait, but here it is, for all of your love to read! *gives*
Laughing Cat: Yuppies! And I'll update the next one soon!
