Chapter 2

"Kakarot!" Vegeta snapped.  Kakarot looked up at Vegeta and apologized. 

"Oh, sorry, I was just, a little zoned out," he said.  Vegeta nodded and looked out the window. 

"Just like you to zone off when I'm telling you something important about the affairs.  You know that I'm the king now and we have to get these matters sorted out," he said.  Kakarot nodded and stood up. 

"Sorry," he said.  Vegeta growled and nodded. 

"Anyway, moving along to more important matters, where's the Princess?" he asked.  Kakarot looked up at Vegeta. 

"Oh, she's still in her room with, the other one.  Chi Chi. She's lost her mind," he added quietly.  Vegeta smirked. 

"Just the way you like your women right Kakarot?" he asked.  Kakarot managed a weak smile and cleared his throat. 

"I think I have to go and check out the dungeons," he said.  Vegeta looked at him and nodded. 

"Fine.  Go and daydream about those pathetic women.  They're mot even Saiya-jin and I see how you lust for the mad one," he said.  Kakarot shook his head. 

"Don't misunderstand Vegeta, you've been my friend since childhood despite our differences.  I just feel…like I have to help," he said.  Vegeta's face became a mask of slight fury. 

"Listen Kakarot, I hope you're not going soft on me.  Don't forget that you have a job to do here in the kingdom, and if that whore Chi Chi becomes a distraction, I will let Zarbon kill her," he said angrily.  Kakarot nodded as he left the room.  The automatic door slid shut, and he whirled around going over to the window.  He heard the door slide open again and he turned around.  One of his guards stood at the door with his head bowed. 

"My lord Vegeta, the Princess wishes for a word with you," he said.  Vegeta smirked and nodded.  Bulma was ushered in and she looked around at the huge room. 

"Leave us," Vegeta said to the guard.  Bulma was looking tired and very pale.  "What seems to be the problem Princess?" he asked.  She looked up at him.  "You leave us enclosed in the same room all day, we don't even have decent clothing, what the hell do you think is wrong?" she asked.  He shrugged. 

"I was thinking of letting you have some more freedom, but you are my captives…" he said.  She fumed. 

"Well, if it could be arranged that Chi Chi could take a walk on the grounds--"

"And let you run away?" he asked.  She looked at him. 

"She needs help damnit!" she said angrily. 

"That is for me to decide!" he shouted back.  She looked at him and shook her head. 

"You're a monster," she said. 

"Oh am I?" he asked approaching her.  He was now leaning over her and looking into her eyes.  "You have stunning eyes did you know that?" She was taken aback and looked at him. 

"Excuse me?" she said.  He leaned closer to her and she leaned forward.  Their lips touched and made contact.  He kissed her softly and she returned it willingly.  It was when he had his arms around her and she pulled away they were stunned.  He let her go and moved away.  "Um…"

"I will arrange for you to have suitable clothing and freedom to explore the grounds," he said emotionlessly.  She nodded and said nothing.  "Leave now," he said. 

"But--"

"Just leave!" he said harshly.  Tears welled up in her eyes but she nodded and left the room, leaving the angry Saiya-jin king to his thoughts. 

****

Her heart pounded in her chest as she made her way down the empty corridor.  The tears that were in her eyes didn't fall, but just stayed there and lingered.  Like his kiss.  Why did he kiss her? She thought.  She made her way to the chamber and the door slid open.  She ran to the bed and plopped down.  Why? She still felt his lips upon hers and she couldn't explain it.  No! This couldn't be happening.  She couldn't associate herself with a person who had killed her people so willingly.  He had done this to her people.  He made her sign over all her land to him.  "Are you alright Bulma?" Juu asked coming out of the bathroom.  Bulma nodded in reply.  

"Juu, I miss home," she said.  18(Juuhatchigo) sat down on the bed and nodded. 

"Me too," she said. 

"Where's Chi?"

"By the window,"

"Ok, I'm going to sleep,"

"Alright," 18 rose up and went over to the window and stood next to Chi Chi. They stood silently and took in the view, thinking of their old home.

"What the hell do you mean you kissed her?" Kakarot asked angrily.  Vegeta glared at him. 

"Remember that I am the king, Kakarot.  And yes I did, what's the deal?" he asked.  Kakarot shook his head. 

"You're getting to attached to her," he said. 

"What do you mean too attached? I was just toying with her," he said. 

"Sure," Kakarot said smirking. 

"Shut your fat face Goku," Vegeta shot back.  Kakarot looked up. 

"Hey, what do you know about that?"

"Oh your such a bitch sometimes Kakarot," Vegeta said with a short laugh. 

"A what? You're a fine one to be talking about that King Vegeta," he said.  Vegeta shook his head and glanced at Kakarot.  He was such an absurd character.  They had met each other a long time ago and Kakarot had immediately began following him around.  Despite the fact that he was a softie at sometimes and gave terrible advice, he was an interesting fellow.  Vegeta sighed and looked away. 

"I'm leaving on a trip Kakarot, I'll be leaving for a week," he said.  Kakarot nodded and looked at Vegeta. 

"What's wrong?" he asked Vegeta. 

"It's just that, well, my father's good friend asked me a favor.  He wants me to let Yamcha stay here.  He wants him to "learn the ropes," as he calls it.  I don't trust him around Bulma.  Guard her." He said.  Kakarot nodded and looked at Vegeta.  "He's a slick one and when he sees her he will try and…well, you know.  Just make sure she is safe.  Give her my regards, I'm leaving," he said.  Kakarot nodded and sighed.

"Oh look Bulma! Its Goku!" Chi Chi said.  She jumped up and ran to the door to greet Kakarot.  She gave him an affectionate hug and he hugged her back.  He looked uneasily at Bulma who gave him a cold stare.  He pulled away from Chi Chi and smiled at her. 

"Good afternoon Bulma,"

"No need for formalities, where's your stuck up king?" she asked looking bored. 

"Oh, he's been gone for several days, he'll be back soon.  Missing him?" he asked.

"Hardly." She said.  He nodded. 

"Look, I really wish that you would stop looking at me like I did something to you," he said.  Bulma looked at him and sighed.  

"But you did do something to me!" she shouted.  Chi Chi stood up. 

"No! No! You must stop fighting, please! Bulma, leave Goku alone.  He is a nice person," she said.  Bulma slammed the book she was reading and stood up. 

"Ok Chi Chi! If you want to stay with this murderer you can! But I'm leaving," she said angrily.  She left the room in a huff and left Kakarot and Chi Chi alone.  Chi Chi sighed. 

"Sorry Goku.  Bulma-chan gets very angry when she sees you." She said.  Kakarot nodded and smiled at Chi Chi. 

"Do you want to take a walk Chi?" he asked gently.  She smiled and nodded. 

  ****

Bulma stormed angrily out the building and found herself in the gardens.  She turned around and looked at the huge castle that was now her home.  Her prison.  It looked ominous in the fading light.  She should be inside but she was angry.  She was angry at that idiotic Saiya-jin who had captivated Chi Chi's interest.  She walked down the well-worn path and took a turn.  She continued walking till she heard the sound of water.  She looked up and she saw a small brook.  Suddenly she looked around and realized that she had never been there before.  She went over to the water and sat down on the ground. 

 "Never have I seen someone of such beauty," someone said.  She whirled around and was greeted by a young man about her age.  He had dark hair, and dark eyes, and he was extremely handsome.  He was well built and had a charming smile.  "May I have the honor of sitting next to you?" he asked.  She reluctantly smiled and nodded.  "Ah, this is indeed a fair spot.  I'm sorry if I intruded your privacy," he said.  She smiled and shook her head. 

"No, I actually just found this area also.  And your name is?" she asked.  He smiled again. 

"Oh I seemed to have forgotten my manners, I am Prince Yamcha of planet Servos.  My father was a good friend of the former King Vegeta, and so I am lodging here for a short time to understand better how kingdoms work.  My kingdom is very small though."

"Oh," she said.  "Well, my name is Bulma.  And I am, or rather was the Princess of planet AuKris.  Vegeta conquered my people and forced me to sign papers handing over all my lands to him," she said. 

"I am sorry," he said. 

"No need Prince Yamcha," she said. 

"Call me Yamcha please," he said.  She smiled and nodded.  "You are so beautiful," he said.  She blushed and looked away. 

"Thanks Yamcha, but I think that we should be heading back to the castle now," she said.  He smiled and nodded. 

****

Bulma and Yamcha were in the main hall.  They stood facing each other and they smiled.  "It has been a pleasure meeting you, Bulma," he said pulling out a rose.  She gasped and smiled.  She gingerly took the rose.  "I enjoyed meeting you too Yamcha," she said. 

"Can I meet you tomorrow here at, say, noon? I would love to take you to the stables and maybe we can go riding, are you acquainted with horse riding?" he inquired.  She smiled and nodded.   "So will I see you?" he asked. 

"Um, sure," she said.   A smile spread across his face. 

"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow.  Till then, have a good night." He said kissing her hand.  She smiled and waved at him as he walked away.  She looked at the rose in her hand and she smiled.  Yamcha.  She went to her room and found that Chi Chi was gone.  18 was already asleep in her bed and she sighed.  Maybe living here wasn't all that bad.  Maybe it wasn't that bad...   

So how's chapter two? Review please!! ^_^
