In the hands of faith
Chapter 4~~I was in a what!!?

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, don't sue.

Katz: FF-net is so annoying, at times I can see all of the reviews but sometimes I can only read the signed ones, it's kind of pissing me off. I don't think anyone cares but I just had to get that out of my system…. Oh and one more thing, to Debido…. So you think you can predict the outcome of this story? WELL GOOD LUCK. (no offense, really. And thanx for the compliments ^-^ )

Alex: But Katz, what if he can? (she, I'm sorry I don't have a clue) Maybe you're just predictable… Maybe everybody knows where this story is going…

Katz: Well I don't care if everybody knows that, I just write my stories and I u don't like them or if u think they're predictable, too bad. And lil' Chi Chi, I know something happens to Bulma again but this story is different, really. Ur all too fast with drawing conclusions.

~°~?~°~

Bulma groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She felt strange, somehow fully rested. Like she'd been asleep for years. Memories came back to her, she was in her car, on her way to the supermarket and it was storming. But then what? She couldn't remember anything after that… She sat up, feeling a little dizzy, and looked around the room. She wasn't quite sure where she was, the room was obviously some kind of hospital room, but why was she in the hospital. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stood up carefully. She felt pain shooting through her right arm and noticed it was placed in a cats. Now she thought about it, her whole body hurt a little but all that she could see where some scars that looked like they had heeled a long time ago, although she didn't remember getting them. Hearing voices outside the room, she opened the door and peeked around the corner. There where her parents, Chi Chi, Goku and Yumcha talking softly to each other. "What's going on here?" She asked, immediately receiving everyone's attention. "Oh Bulma honey, you're finally up." Her mother cooed and locked her in a bear-hug. "We're all so glad you're okay." Yumcha said with a warm smile. "What are you all talking about?" Bula asked, more confused then ever. "You don't remember?" Goku asked. "Bulma you had an accident and ended up in a coma for three months." Chi Chi explained. "I was in a what!!??" she screeched while her mother backed off. "But how, I mean, I don't remember anything…"

"Yes, that is very much possible." A voice interrupted Bulma. All heads turned to look at a small man in a doctors-coat. "So is Bulma going to be alright?" Dr. Briefs asked worriedly. "If she will follow me so I can give her a check-up, I'll tell you in a sec." He said and turned around. Bulma shrugged and followed him, desperately keeping the back of her gown closed to prevent something very embarrassing.

About 15 minutes later the two returned. The doctor reassured everyone that Bulma was fine, she just had to take it easy for a little while. All of the remaining forms where filled in and Bulma could go home again.

Although Bulma hadn't seen Vegeta all day, everything seemed to be back to normal by the time she got ready to go to bed. She still couldn't believe she had been 'away' for 3 months, let alone the fact she had been in an accident. They had said the other driver was drunk and crashed into her, the guy hadn't survived it. She felt very sorry for him and his family but decided to let everything go for now, she had to if she wanted to get any sleep.


~°~?~°~

Bulma looked around, she had no idea where she was, she looked around but it was way too dark to actually see anything. Pain shot through her body like an electrical current as she tried to stand up. She groaned and fell down on the floor again. After a while she suddenly she heard noises, footsteps coming towards her. There was the sound of a key being twisted in a lock and the door flung open. She squinted her eyes against the bright light entering from the other side of the door. She looked up and was only able to see a tall silhouette towering over her. Whoever it was that stood there, he or she walked towards her and pulled her up. Bulma had to stifle a scream as she was roughly dragged into the light.

With a shock Bulma shot up from the bed, tangled in the sheets she fell to the floor with a loud thud. She groaned and rubbed her head, just her luck. When she came down to get some breakfast she wasn't surprised to see Vegeta at the table, pigging out again. "Do you ever stop that." She grumbled and turned the coffee maker on. "Stop what?" He asked, a little confused. "Eating!" came a loud reply. Vegeta looked at her strangely and only now she realized how stupid that just sounded. "So what crawled up your ass this morning?" Vegeta asked with a smirk and watched Bulma flinch, trying to control her anger. "Just shut up, I'm not in the mood to with a arrogant jerk." She hissed and turned around to poor her coffee. She heard and turned around sharply. "Just watch your mouth mister, this is my house and you're a guest here so just back off if you want to stay here." She watched Vegeta stop chewing as he cocked an eyebrow at her. He swallowed hard "What the hell are you talking about."

"don't play innocent with me, I heard you scolding me loud and clear!" She hissed and placed her hands on her hips, looking down at a confused Saijin.
"Woman, I was eating, how do you expect me to scold you loud and clear, if my mouth is full at the time." He growled and stood up with the remainder of his food. "She's gone crazy, hearing voices…. Next time she's gonne tell me she's a schnitzel person.." (don't ask..) he muttered and left the house. Bulma was confused yet again, he must be playing with you Bulma, she told herself, just another one of his mind games. She reassured herself and sat down to eat.

That afternoon Bulma sat in front the window, looking depressed. Black clouds hung in the sky, it was raining and she was pretty sure it was going to thunder in a minute. She notices the light in the gravity room was still on, if he kept on training like that he would end up killing himself. Well then that would be his own stupid fault, she thought and sighed. The doctor said she was supposed to take it slow for a while but it annoyed her that she couldn't even work in the lab. And her father had made sure she couldn't by locking the door, now she was bored out of her mind. Her mind wandered back to that morning, she knew she had had a nightmare but she couldn't remember it. That was strange because usually she would at least be able to remember what it was about, just roughly.

Bulma jumped up when she heard a sudden loud noise, lightning. How she hated this, maybe it was a little juvenile of her but she had always been a little scared of thunder. Although she usually knew how to hide it. She looked up when she heard a different noise, on the roof. It wasn't like the lightning, it sounded like something had fallen down. She decided to go see what it was, it's not like she had anything better to do.

Grabbing a thick coat, she pulled it on and swung the door open. She rushed out into the rain but didn't get far when she stumbled back after hitting something too hard to be human. She glanced up, wondering if anyone had decided to put a brick wall in the middle of her garden when she saw an angry looking Saijin staring at her. "Better watch where you're going woman." He grumbled. Vegeta was about to walk past her when he was unexpectedly pushed back, unceremoniously shoved into a puddle of mud. (:P cool band) "What the hell was that for!" He roared angrily. "What do you think." Bulma sneered in response and turned around to finish what she started when she felt a sudden dud against her back. She looked over her shoulder to see her coat covered with mud. She turned around with hell in her eyes and stared at the prince who was currently laughing his ass off, pointing at her like she was some kind of idiot.

She bent down and took a hand full of mud, sending it flying his face. He soon stopped his laughing and coughed in an attempt to get the dirt out of his mouth. Now it was Bulma's turn to laugh. "Ha ha, you should know better then to mess with me, Vegeta." She laughed but was interrupted as she felt a tug on her foot and she fell back into the same puddle. "Vegeta!!" She yelled accusingly and watched the prince about to walk into the house. "Wait up!" to her surprise he actually listened and she quickly scrambled to her feet. "Vegeta, I uhm… I need your help with something." She said hesitantly as she walked up to him. "With what?" He asked a little suspiciously. "well I heard something on the roof and I was about to find out what it was but now you're here, why don't you fly up and take a look for me?" She asked, already expecting a no. "And why would I help you?"

"I don't know, never mind then.." She said softly and walked past him to enter the house. Bulma stood in the doorway and was about to turn around and ask if Vegeta was coming too when she noticed he wasn't there. With a startled yell she jumped back as he suddenly appeared in front of her. "It was just a branch." He said gruffly and walked into the house, leaving Bulma to stare after him, deep in thought.
