Ya! Kudos for those of you who knew a phone goes ring ring and a door bell goes ding dong.  I am so sorry this has taken so long. As most of you know, I have literally been out of commission for the last few weeks. It was rather abruptly introduced to me that trees don't give up their positions on the slopes to very many things! In case you missed my e-mail, I broke my arm. So it has taken me a lot longer than normal just to type! Also, I have decided to transfer to another school. No offence to anyone from California, but I hate it there! I've decided to go to a local undergrad school and get all my needed crap out of the way, then pick a descent school somewhere else. Any suggestions? And thanks to all those who voted!! I actually had 72 votes!! Warm fuzzies to all of you! And about 87% were…. Well, just read and see. And just so no one will be disappointed the next chapter will have little bit of all 4 categories in it.

Chapter 7: Hot Water

            Bulma stepped away from him, blushing slightly. Wow can he kiss! To bad he's such an asshole! She picked up the phone with a shaky hand. "Hello?"

            "Hey Babe!"

            "Oh, hi-ya Yamcha."

            "Well, I got some news. It's really good for me but your probably not gonna like it to much."

            She frowned. "Oh?"

            "Um, yeah, I know we were supposed to go out tonight but I got a call from the West City Wingers for a tryout. It's the chance I've been waiting for babe. If I land a position on the team, that means big bucks!"

            "Ah, of course. No, I understand Yamcha. You go ahead. Good luck."

            "Thanks. I new you'd understand. Bye!"

            "Bye."

            "Dumped again?"

            She turned to see him leaned up against the counter. He wasn't smirking as usual. That's odd. I figured he'd be gloating. "He has an important engagement."

            "And your not It." He stated flatly.

            "And since when did you start caring about how Yamcha treats me? Other than yelling for me to fix you something to eat or fix the GR, you hardly ever say anything civil, much less be concerned about anything that doesn't involve becoming a super Saiyan."

            "Didn't you listen to me a minute ago? When he upsets you, you whine, Woman. And I am the one who has to listen to it. Not him. And that interferes with my progress."

            "I wish you'd just mind your own business. Don't you have to train or something?"

            "Actually, I was thinking about going to the lake and taking a dip. Wanna go?"

            It did sound like fun. "Sure, let me go get my suit." She started for the stairs but he grabbed her around the waist and was out the door and in the air before she had time to scream.

            "Bathing suits are for public places." He did smirk now.

            "What?! You expect me to go skinny dipping with you? Are you insane?" she couldn't see his face since her back was pressed firmly against his front, but she could feel the wicked smile he wore.

            "Chicken? Got some imperfections you have to hide?" he baited.

            "Imperfections! Why you jerk! I have a great body and you know it!"

            "Hmm. I don't know about that. I mean, your breasts are just to circular to be real. Are you hiding scars from an enlargement? Or maybe you wear one of those push up bra's?" He could feel her tensing in his grip. She was really pissed and he was actually enjoying it.

            "You wouldn't know a real boob if it hit you in the face!" How in hell does he know about breast enlargements and push up bras? Moron. She looked down seeing that they were hovering a few feet over the water. "Hey!" she screamed as he let her go.

            She came up spitting and sputtering. "You ass! What did you do that for?"

            "Now you have to take them off so they can dry." He smiled fully, showing perfect white teeth. His overly large canines giving him a very wolfish appearance.

            Now what? I can't be naked in front of Vegeta? What would people say? Well, who would know? Goku's seen me naked before. Of course he was a kid at the time. She sighed and awkwardly managed to slip out of her clothes without sinking. Then she tossed them at him. "Put them somewhere they won't get dirty."

            He flew to the bank and spread them out on a tree limb, then proceeded to take his own attire off. He laughed as the woman blushed and turned around. Shy little thing huh?

            She heard a splash and turned to see only ripples on the water. "Hey! Where'd you go?" she looked around her, the hair on her neck began to stand up. Then he broke the surface right in front of her. "Eeek!"

            He chuckled, an odd sound coming from the prince. He had to admit, if only to himself, this was one of his better ideas. "Alright. No scars. Guess they are real."

            Bulma felt herself flush all the way to her toes. The water surely went up several degrees from her embarrassment. "You pervert!"

            "Now that, I have never been accused of before." He said thoughtfully. "I really don't know why you would waste a body like that on that simpering fool, when you could do so much better."

            "Oh? And I suppose you mean you? What makes you think you're so much better than Yamcha? He's sweet to me, you just want me around to work for you. He's never been cruel to me, you constantly yell and insult Me." She shot back.

            He frowned a little. "I wouldn't cheat on you."

            "Well, considering you're not mine, it would be a little hard for you to do that! And stop saying he cheats on me! I've never caught him out with anyone else or been told by anyone other than you that he does." Except from his own sorry lips on that incriminating tape. She hissed in her mind.

            "You are as dense as Kakarot, Woman! And I will prove it to you. You think he's really got some special engagement for tonight? We'll see. And when you see it with your own eyes, then maybe you'll thank me for sparing you a life with that adulterous imbecile!" he raged.

            Tears sprang to her eyes. "Well maybe I would rather have that then nothing at all!" Huh? Is that true? Would I really settle for that? Am I that scared of being alone?

            "Stupid." He growled, reaching out and pulling her to him. The contact of their naked bodies pressed together made them both inhale in shock. He looked down into her wide blue eyes, for the first time actually registering all the emotions swirling in their depths. She was hurting, confused, angry, and a little more than aroused. Now's my chance. Take advantage of the situation. He bent his head and kissed her, forcing his tongue between her clenched teeth. After a few seconds she groaned lightly, sending little electric currents up his body. His hands moved down her back to cup her shapely rear and press her into him, causing him to make a similar noise.

            Oh, why does it have to be like this? She felt his desire as she was crushed against him. Her stomach tightened. Kami! He's huge! Her eyes flew open as he trailed soft kisses across her jaw and down her neck. She felt her head go back to give him better access. His hands went to the backs of her thighs, lifting her slightly and wrapping her legs around his waist causing her upper body to come out of the water. His lips found the pink tips of her aroused breasts. His tongue began lazy circles around each one, then he sucked ever so lightly, increasing the pressure at the sound of her sighs and moans. Her hands gripped the back of his head as she arched her back to him.

            He was quickly losing his grip on control. She was perfect, even if she was fragile enough to be snapped like a tiny twig in his fingers. Her scent was intoxicating, her soft skin setting his body on fire like it had never done before. Never had he had such a desire to be completely reckless before. Something was beginning to burn inside him. Something he had never felt before. A strange longing, like he could absorb her, body and spirit within him and be complete. For the first time. Complete. His lips moved to the hollow of neck, his teeth raked across the warm flesh, he brought his arousal to the entrance of hers.

            Bulma felt the slight pressure between her legs. It would be so easy. Just let him. NO! She drew a ragged breath and placed her hands on his shoulders pushing him away a few inches so he looked up at her. She was struck immobile. The look in his eyes was.. was. There were no words to describe it other than. Burning. Possessive. Open. And they absolutely terrified her. He wasn't playing anymore. This situation, if possible, had become truly dangerous. For both of them. She suddenly had a pang of guilt. At this moment, she had the power to hurt him. And knowing this didn't make her feel like she thought it would. She felt sick.

            Placing her hands on his cheeks she closed her eyes to block him from her mind. "Vegeta. I can't. I. Can't. Cheat." When she opened her eyes, his mask had fallen back into place, and she felt…empty.

            He was a little more than stunned. The fact she had stopped him was only a small portion of it. He had to admire her resolve, even if it was infuriating. But her words had snapped him back into reality. What was I doing? I was going to mark her! You idiot! You almost saddled yourself permanently with this creature! Stop letting your pecker lead you around and think! Sex is NOT the same thing a taking a mate! He growled and pushed her away from him. He was angry with himself. He could tell by her expression, she thought the anger was directed at her. Good. Let her think it. If she ever knew what kind of power she almost had over me, I'd have to kill her. No one will ever have that kind of control over me.

            "Vegeta, please take me home." She glided to the bank and climbed out. Not even caring anymore about her nudity, she struggled to put her still wet clothes on. I have to focus. Stop letting him confuse you like this. Geez. Anybody would think you were in love with him or something! She gasped out loud. Oh Kami! I am! How could you do something so STUPID!!! She whirled around to find him standing behind her, a look on his face that actually made her step back. He's really pissed this time. "On second thought, I'll walk. I need to be alone."

            He shrugged indifferently. Not knowing if his voice would betray him or not he didn't speak. Just dressed and flew off. He needed some time alone also.

Finally!! And I'd better get some reviews on this chapter. I've been through hell trying to get it ready. Yes the little bit of lemon won the poll. And thanks for all the votes. I cropped this chapter a little for obvious reasons. The next chapter will definitely be angsty. Then I promise it will start to get back to its lightly weird humor again. Pray it won't be as long before I update next time. I am!!
