Dragonballz: Sleeping with the Enemy
chapter 2 written by Noble....
"WHAT?!!"
"I said Vegeta's staying with us for the next 3 years to train" replied Bulma flatly.
"Uh Bulma, I don't wanna sound like I'm jumping for joy at the idea, but don't you remember how dangerous Vegeta is?" questioned Krillin, who's eyebrows were twitching all the same like Yamcha's, they both knew what Vegeta was like and they didn't like the idea one bit. Allowing Vegeta to live with such a peaceful family for the next 3 years was an instant guarantee hands down that all 3 members of the Briefs family would loose their sanity within a month of just breathing the same air as him. The only person who actually liked the sound of that idea was Goku and god only knows what he's been smoking.
"You think I haven't TRIED to persuade my dad otherwise? The minute Vegeta got back and demanded a Gravity Room 3 hundred times earth's normal gravity he nearly had a heart attack at such an idea. I mean a hundred times earth normal gravity was fine for Goku but three hundred for that Saiyan jackass?! My dad doesn't think he can do it!"
"Do what Bulma? Your dad can make just about anything if he puts his mind to it" answered Krillin again, this time curious.
"I wasn't talking about him you knucklehead! I was talking about Vegeta! What has he got a deathwish or something?! if he tries 300x earth's normal gravity he'll be flatter than a pancake! I don't care if he's a saiyan prince or not, he's going to get himself killed!" growled Bulma furiously.
"It's not like he's done that before Bulma, he's been there, done that and got wished back! Hey if he does do himself over with 300 time's earth normal gravity we might as well count ourselves lucky!" smirked Yamcha somewhat happy.
It was when Bulma saw that smirk she scowled and wore the biggest deathglare she could muster that it was like she was literally drilling holes through Yamcha's head. Truth be told she didn't give a shit about Vegeta, he was cocky, arrogant, rude and most of the time an obnoxious pig but hearing Yamcha wishing for Vegeta to kill himself over some stupid training, sparked that all too familiar firey temper of the the blue haired vixen and when both Yamcha and Krillen saw it, they were gone in seconds not wanting to feel the wrath of a woman that can damage not just your body with an erray of kitchen utensils, but a persons hearing for an entire lifetime.
Fuming she slammed the door and stormed her way to her lab. Sometimes, just sometimes Yamcha can be such an idiot. After being in a relationship with the guy for over a decade there were bound to be some quirks about Yamcha that she didn't like and one of them was when he sounded like an ass, the other more important quirk about Yamcha that she didn't like was the fact the he had cheated on her repeatedly over the decade they've been together and ALWAYS she took him back knowing he'd probably do it again. Why couldn't he be the way he was back when they first actually met or dated? Back then Yamcha's biggest fear was women and he'd be scared stiff just to see one let alone be with one and now? Now he was dating more women then he can handle, much to the many lonley nights of Bulma crying herself to sleep and taking him back the next day.
And unfortunetly that didn't seem to be the worst part of the relationship especially when Vegeta was around to eavesdrop and insult Bulma about how patheticly weak her 'mate' was and that the only reason he cheated on her was because of her hideousness. Score one to Vegeta, that got her pissed off in no time and he knew it. He practically baited her every step of the way and boy did she bite back, she literally brought all hell with her like she was a bull in a china shop, screaming all forms of obscenities and insults she could muster until her face was beaming the angry colour of blood red. It was exactly that kind of temper that would have Yamcha running in seconds screaming for help, but Vegeta? he simply laughed it off like it was no big thing.
Vegeta was doing it on purpose and Bulma knew it. After all her family had done for him, giving him a home, mountains of food and a gravity room to train in for the next 3 years and all he could do was insult her looks and intelligence? Yeah, that's gratitude for you. Bulma was actually glad that ChiChi had someone like Goku as her husband, being so kind and naive that it seemed untrue, but if she ever had a man like Vegeta? The merest thought of that concept and Bulma wanted to burst out laughing, ChiChi would either be scarred for life OR they'd be the perfect married couple because of their tempers, but the only problem with that is that they both couldn't stand the sight of each other. To Vegeta she will always be known as 'Kakkarot's loudmouthed harpy' or the 'banshee' and if ChiChi had the chance to simply strangle the saiyain monkey with no one holding her back, she'd do it in a heartbeat...
Oh she wouldn't wish that cruel fate on ChiChi some other poor woman would have to put up Vegeta and god forbid did she feel sorry for whoever that poor sap was. Feeling a little perky at such a thought and humming a tune she started to go through the plans and blueprints left to her by her father and began to start making to target and training drones for a certain monkey.
****
Vegeta wasn't liking this, not one bit! He demanded a fully equipped gravity room, full with training drones from the old man and the drones weren't even made yet. The only good thing about the old man was his brain because he was quick enough to build the gravity room before pissing him off! Being the Prince of all saiyains, it was in his nature to have things done for him immediately, on Vegetasi to go against the wishes of royalty was a severe penalty, servere enough to claim death. But killing the old man would be pointless, even on this backwater planet his genius would be needed as would the womans if he ever was to reach the level of Super Saiyain. After hearing of the not to pleasant tale of their deaths by some mere androids, Vegeta was more than certain that he needed to redouble his efforts and triple them even further. The thought of him, the prince of all Saiyans, a warrior elite falling at the hands at some mere rustbucket was too shameful a thought to think. Having his race completely annihalated down to just him, Kakkarot and that fool's half breed by Freiza was bad enough, but to have the saiyan legacy, a race of warriors as powerful as the saiyains falling at the hands of mere puppets created by some madman sounded pathetic!
He could not accept that! On his shoulders he carried the pride and power of his people all by himself, he alone represented his people and that half wit Kakkarot certainly didn't count! He couldn't even remember his people, let alone know he was a saiyan. He had forgotten everything, the stories told, their culture, the battles they fought and planets conquered, the pride of every saiyan that ever lived should be permanetly imprinted in his brain but he had forgotten it all! But still some their culture still lingered, kakkarot's insacuable need to fight stronger opponent's more poweful the next burned within his veins much like his own, other than their never ending hunger that all saiyan warriors had, Kakkarot had only one more ability that cut Vegeta deep to the core and that was his ability to become a Super Saiyan.
Ever since he was a child, he had believed from what his father had told him that because he was of royal blood that it was his birthright to achieve the status of legendary. A legacy, a saiyan myth that has not only been spoken of but feared throughout the entire universe that Super Saiyans of myth were the most powerful and feared warriors in the the universe, and Vegeta had believed that, he believed his father's words and cherished that myth religously believing he would one day become a Super Saiyan and crush Freiza like he was nothing more than a fly. It was that belief that had kept Vegeta alive and it was what motivated him throughout his childhood, he basked in his pride knowing that he'd one day achieve it that he could taste it with every battle he fought and with each planet conquered he knew he was getting close. After training so hard day in and day out, pushing himself to near death his efforts were never rewarded, and his dreams all backfired just a few days ago when Kakkarot, the one the earthlings called Goku had achieved what he could not..
The first in a 1000 years and it was achieved by 3rd class baka, who couldn't even remember his people. He had taken what Vegeta in believed his whole life and avenged his people, when it should have been him! The Prince of all Saiyans who would become a Super Saiyan and avenge his people, as it was his birthright! Not some low level commoner! That knowledge hurt Vegeta emotionally, his pride was chipped away by it.
'But then it always comes down to you doesn't it Kakkarot?' he thought bitterly.
'I was a saiyan elite, a warrior of royal blood! My very name was feared throughout the universe much like that lizard Frieza. And on my shoulders I carry the glory and honour of an extinct warrior race the very foundations of which I always lived on have been crumbling at my feet every since you humilated me. Your common hands have done just this one thing and taken away everything that I lived for. It's absoluetly absurb to think or believe that a low level commoner could actually beat a saiyain prince of royal blood, but then again I didn't expect to be defeated and killed by some androids in 3 years did I. Why is it the bigger and better challanges always come looking for your head on a plater then me? I am the one who was feared throughout the universe not you! It's all because of your bundaling and the mistakes you made in the past that were training to fight those Androids in the first place! If any part of your saiyan heritage existed when you were a child you would have killed your enemies when you had the chance, instead of allowing them to live to become stronger and kill you in the end!'
'That is the most disgusting thing I hate about you Kakkarot! Where is your saiyan pride? Not once have you ever fought with that same pride that I and my people have fought and carried, instead you only wish to fight opponents stronger than you. You only want to fight to the best of your abilities and to become stronger, never to kill. It is that weak hearted emotion that seperates you and I Kakkarot and that is why I will always strive to be better than you. I WILL become a Super Saiyan and I WILL destroy these pathetic Androids and then once that is all over and done with, I'm coming after you and I WILL take back what you have stolen from me, what is rightfully mine, and then this miserable planet can die along with you when it's over. YES! I will be the greatest of all Saiyans once again! I--'
A very loud banging which can clearly heard by Vegeta's expert hearing breaks him from his tirade of thought and angrily he stops his tenthousandth pushup at 50 times earths normal gravity to glare at the door, 'Who in the name of kami would DARE to interrupt me in the middle of training?'
"VEGETA OPEN UP! I know your in there! Get your ass out of that training room for one second will ya! Dinner's ready!"
'It had to be that impudant woman! Does she not know who she's yelling at?! Hmph, I will have to remind that woman to show more respect to one of royalty'
"GO AWAY WOMAN! I'm busy training so your oversized ass isn't blown into the next dimension! Nothing and I mean NOTHING will stop me from training and thats FINAL!"
"Oh is that right? So I suppose you want me to get rid of this mountain of food we cooked for you?" Bulma replies heatedly but smirking knowing he would go for the bait.
Vegeta's stomach begins to betray him by rumbling answering in a soundly yes, but his mouth clearly shouts once again "NO!"
"Oh that's ok then, I suppose I can give it to GOKU th-"
Bulma didn't get chance to finish the sentance, the door to the gravity room opened quickly with a very angry and pissed off Vegeta marching off in the direction of his rival and HIS dinner, mumbling something about killing Kakkarot and 'stupid women'
Yep, it sure paid to be Bulma Briefs, and to get Vegeta to do what she wants if she can't get him to do what she wants by asking him, she fights dirty and that in any sense is hitting a low blow the belt. It pays to be a genius..
Author's note: Chapter 2 is here! And since today ive been smirking all the while, I honestly think it's going to be longer than 10 chapters with all the ideas I've got brewing in my head and I can't wait to start typing them on and putting them up for all you dear readers to read. Piccolo and Vegeta are my favourite characters in DBZ bar none, but then again I think fans worship, Gotenks or Vegitto because their fusioned characters or more powerful. But with Piccolo and Vegeta, not only are they tough fighters there tachtectionists, they strategise a battle as well as fight it, plus their both badass' what more can be said about those two? I wonder what a fusion of them would be like? Anyway R & R and I'll get back to you with more chapters, laterz
