Last time on 'to trust again'
_.-+†+-._ She was beginning to think he was starting to warm up to her a bit, but it seemed just the opposite had happened. Bulma groaned and leaned back in her chair, she was thinking about him again, she couldn't stop herself. He just had to come back, there wasn't much fuel in the ship and no food at all and kami knows how much food Saijins need. She convinced herself he'd come back and continued working, ignoring the little voice that was telling her something completely different _.-+†+-._
Chapter 7 ~~ Something's wrong
Vegeta had only been flying for 15 minutes when he came across a large city. High, spiked towers became larger as he approached them, making the smaller houses below look like nothing. Vegeta made sure not to fly over the city, he would attract too much attention. Instead he landed a few meters in front of it and decided to take the safe way and travel by foot. Fortunatly, the city had lots of little alleys and streets where it would be easy to blend in. He just had to make sure no one saw him and he'd be fine.
Vegeta looked around when he heard talking and footsteps. His breath stuck in his throat and he quickly rounded a corner as two purple aliens walked past him. Vegeta let out a relieved sigh and continued walking .
30 minutes went by that consisted mainly of Vegeta hiding in the shadows to prevent being seen. Finally Vegeta found himself on the right path, he now knew where he was going so it should be pretty easy to get to Relvis' house without being spotted. He walked through an older part of the city, keeping his head down as much as possible as he stalked through the shadows. Every now and then a head would turn to see who they thought they saw walking in the shadows was, but every time the stranger would disappear right before they could recognize the man.
Finally, after creeping around through the most disgusting places you could think of, Vegeta reached the part of the city he had been looking for. A row of small, narrow houses lined the empty street that had darkened considerably since nightfall came much earlier on this planet. He looked around warily before shooting across it, immediately hiding in the shadow of the houses as he reached the other side. He could feel the adrenaline rushing through his vanes, the thought of being discovered was scary but thrilling at the same time. One second the thought of trying to take over some planets again crossed his mind, being wanted in the entire galaxy, having more foes that imaginary, living life on the edge seemed appealing but he quickly shook the though from his head. He didn't want to go through that again, and he had no idea what had been happening while he was on earth, it was possible that opponents stronger than him had stepped up, new technologies been developed that could stop him, he didn't know and he didn't plan on finding out either.
He looked around the street, no one there but he'd learned a long time ago that thing weren't always what they seemed so he decided to keep hidden while silently approaching the right house. The houses didn't have numbers in this part of the galaxy so he had to rely on his memory, he'd seen the house one time when Revlis showed it to him on a mission to a nearby planet. Vegeta just hoped he still lived there, was still alive at the least. He stopped in front of a building that looked exactly the same as all the others but his intuition told him this was the one. He squinted his eyes to see it clearly but after a few second he could make out the small sign besides the door that said 'Revlis Amaroid'. Vegeta smirked, knowing his instinct hadn't failed him yet and softly knocked on the door.
He waited impatiently for an answer and finally got one when the tiny hatch in the wood opened and an eye peered through. "what do you want." The voice demanded as Vegeta made sure his face wasn't visible for the man, after all he wasn't even sure if it was the right alien that lived in the house. "Revlis?" He asked in a rough voice, hoping whoever stood on the other side of the door wouldn't recognize it. "Who wants to know." Came an answer after a while. Vegeta smirked again as he recognized the slightly squeaky voice.
"Open the door you idiot, it's me." Vegeta replied and stepped into the light that shun through the hatch. There was a soft gasp and the sound of someone hurridly unlocking the door as it opened a second later to let out a gush of warmth and light. "Vegeta!?" the purple alien asked in an unbelieving voice and Vegeta just nodded as he was urged in and Revlis quickly closed the door behind him.
As soon as Vegeta was inside he was bombarded with questions, where he had been, why he was there, what had happened after they last saw each other, how he was, everything you can think of. Now that Vegeta got a good look at the man in front of him he was overcome with a sudden feeling of safety, it was good to see an old friend again but what he didn't notice was that it took over every sense of suspiciousness he'd had before, which wasn't necessarily a good thing…
-(~~*~~)-
After two days of living with his old friend Vegeta was training in the GR again. He'd answered most of Revlis' questions by now but he'd made sure to let out a certain group of people and the dragonballs. After being busy for 6 hours he decided to take a break. The door opened as Vegeta pushed the button and he closed his eyes as the cool wind blew past him, cooling down the warm sweat that glistered on his body, causing him to shiver. After a few seconds Vegeta opened his eyes again and started walking towards the house. It was night again and it was the only time he dared to venture out of the GR or the small house he'd been living in lately.
Vegeta stepped onto the strangely coloured grass but stopped when he heard soft noises coming from the house. He could hear the door opening but it was impossible to see anything through the dark air. "Revils?" Vegeta asked quietly and waited patiently before getting an answer. "Yeah!" he heard and let out a relieved sigh, continuing towards the house but before he could reach his friend, he doubled over in pain as he was his in the stomach by an invisible fist. Vegeta groaned but didn't have time to react since his arms where immediately pulled back into a strong hold. Vegeta opened his eyes and looked over towards the house where a sudden light came from to see his friend standing in the doorway with an amused smirk. It was the last thing he remembered seeing before he felt a stinging pain in the back of his neck and everything disappeared as he fell into a restless sleep.
-(~~*~~)-
Bulma was again in her lab, or was it still. She didn't know but she'd been going through some thing on the computer when she got this strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. Like something was wrong. "Vegeta.." she whispered softly without knowing. Vegeta, where did she get that? Why would she think there was something wrong with him? Maybe she just needed some rest, or food. Bulma saved her text on the computer and stood up to get something to eat. Te house was strangely quit as she walked down the stairs, everything was different without the loud Saijin around. All the silence was getting on her nerves and she admitted she missed him but was that enough to think about Vegeta whenever she gets a strange feeling? That was just absurd. She sighted and let it go, she didn't want to worry about such things, if she did she'd never get any sleep. She made herself a sandwich and went to her room, hoping she wouldn't be thinking about that one prince all night like she had the last couple of days.
-(~~*~~)-
Vegeta groaned as he slowly woke up again, every part of his body hurt like hell but he pushed the pain away as he felt he was being dragged away by his arms. Immediately he tried to open his eyes, to stand up, to blast the guys away but he couldn't move, not a muscle in his body reacted to his orders so the only thing he could do was wait. After what he guessed was half an hour he was dumped on a hard floor and he could hear a heavy door close with a screeching sound, followed by the sound of a key turning in a lock. Last thing he remembered hearing where the soft footsteps fading away before he was swallowed by a complete silence.
Bulma bolted awake, her chest heaving with lost breath and a thousand things running through her head, something's wrong with Vegeta…
