Hey, this is a V/B if you haven't guessed already!

Please review, I know I say that a lot but I really mean it there is just no reason in doing these story's if you don't put in your input. How else am I going to get better? And I will take flames, but hopefully you like it. J

This is going to be a bit mushy near the end of this chapter but just wait till the real plot begins!

Chapter 1

What's the matter?

I hear the gravity room turn off and Vegeta walking up the stairs. "Great, just what I need today! An arrogant, prideful prince making this day even worse!" Bulma mumbled under her breath.

" Women!" Vegeta yelled from the top of the stairway.

Bulma sighed heavily knowing that if she didn't go out and see what he wanted he would start to blow things up just to spite her.

" Give me a minute you're majesty!" Bulma yelled from her room sarcastically.

You could hear a "humph" from Vegeta but he did not say anything further.

Bulma emerged from her room a tired and stressed look plastered on her face. Her movements were harsh and slow; she looked as though she could collapse at anytime.

Vegeta stared at her for a moment in disbelief. ' I knew she had been stressed these day but never imagined that she was weak enough to get this bad.' Vegeta thought to himself.

" What are you looking at?" Bulma spat, anger lined in her voice. Rubbing her temple as she spoke.

" Humph" Was all that he would say to answer her question and then continued " Women I want my dinner!" Vegeta said in his usual tone. As he crossed his arms over his chest.

Bulma wanted to fight back but found she had no energy to, so she just walked off into the kitchen and started making his dinner.

' What the hell is wrong with her?' Vegeta asked himself, a bit of worry starting to sprout up within him but he pushed it down as soon as it had come ' stupid Women, why should I care if she acts weird or not!' with that Vegeta went to train till dinner was done.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bulma loomed over the stove as the day's events came back to her…

" What do you mean capsule Corp is going under! Dad I don't under stand!" Bulma shouted at her farther through the via com.

" Hunny hush, I did not mean to upset you. And I'm not saying it's going under all I'm saying is that we need something new, something better before it does go under and I just can't seem to think of anything so I phoned you. I know it's a lot to ask but if you could just think about it and get back to me it might make all the difference." Mr. Briefs said trying to calm his daughter.

" Dad if anything is to happen to Capsule Corp I…"

" Didn't I just stop telling you hunny that nothing bad is happening to it, at least not yet and that is why I need you to help me. You're a big girl and one of the smartest human's alive I know you can think of something." Reassured her farther.

" Ok Dad I'll try to think of something to make us back on top you can count on me!" Bulma said putting on her fake smile so her Dad would feel better.

" I know I can hunny, now I've got to go, so much paper work these day's but you would know about that now wouldn't you hunny?" Asked Mr. Briefs

" I sure would…" Bulma exclaimed under her breath as she looked across her office seeing all the paper work that lay scattered everywhere, most still undone

" Any who hunny I've got to go. Oh Bulma can you fax me that report that I have to present today." Mr. Briefs asked in a hurry

Bulma's face fell, the report, she had completely forgot about it! ' Great going Bulma you just had to screw up didn't you!' she screamed at herself, but her Dad didn't notice the look Bulma had on her face. " Umm… yea dad" Bulma lied " So when do you need that report again?" She asked as if it was nothing in the world

" Um…well hunny I would need it in about an two hours max, but I would like them earlier if possible." Her farther replied, now shuffling through papers on his desk. " Oh and don't forget that it has to be 20 pages of 12 size font. Kay hunny?"

" Kay dad" Bulma said as she shut off the Via Com.

' Here we go' Bulma thought as she started to type the report as fast as she could. She only looked at the clock once after hours of typing '11:30am only half an hour left' Bulma started to type faster…

Bulma stood beside the fax machine as the report went through. She breathed a sigh of relief. ' That was to close! Only one minute before, these late nights are starting to get to me and my work.'

Bulma sighed again. Yes these late nights had started to get to her but that was nothing compared to what had happened after. ' Yea like me catching Yamcha kissing another girl after 22 hours of straight work yea that could do it' Bulma thought to her self. She

knew she should be sad and in tears but all that she felt was tired and empty.

She put the meal(s) on the table and went up stairs hoping not to bump into Vegeta. But how is it that when you're day is the shits and you think it can't get any worse he shows up.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Vegeta stepped out of the gravity room sweat starting to form on his forehead. He sniffed the air to make sure that dinner was ready before proceeding to the kitchen.

Vegeta say the women start to go up the stairs, her movements where so harsh that it made Vegeta felt something that he just could not put his finger on, but he knew he didn't like it.

" Where do you think you are going?" Vegeta asked Bulma as he leaned against the wall crossing his arms and putting on his usual smirk.

This time Bulma only "humph" and kept going up the stairs, hoping that he would just leave her alone for today, just for one night, to bad how that hardly happens.

Vegeta was beside her in a blink; he went so fast that she didn't even notice for another moment or two. " I asked you a question women I expect it to be answered!" Vegeta said with a bit more harshness then he meant to use.

Bulma only looked at Vegeta not really knowing what to do. Yes she was startled by Vegeta's quick entrance but no reaction showed on her face or in her body language, she was just too tired physically and emotionally to deal with anything else then trying to get to bed.

" Please Vegeta not today, not today…" Bulma said as she felt her self start to fade away. ' What the hell is wrong with me? I fell like I'm falling and about to hit a cold slate of ground that is calling my name.' Bulma thought as she began to shake lightly.

Vegeta was about to fight back with a bit more force when he noticed the difference in her body language. Her body was slouched over, not forwards or backwards just slouched, and her voice sounded so far away… And then there where her eyes they had a look of… they had a look of nothing, only emptiness. This scared Vegeta even more then he would like to admit. ' Whhatts the matter with her????' Vegeta's mind screamed with worry and this time he could not just push it away as anything, something was wrong and he knew it. " Women what is the matter…"

Vegeta was about to finish the question when he was cut off by Bulma falling into his arms with a grunt.

' What… BULMA!' Vegeta's mind went blank, he didn't even notice that he was now in his room lying her down on his bed trying to make her comfortable. What he did notice though was that his hands were shaking, and not lightly but strong and fast. ' How…how can this be happening? She's there and then bomb falls right into my arms… she's cold… I have to get her warm' Vegeta's mind told him over and over again.

Vegeta put blanket after blanket on Bulma till there were 8 warm, heavy blankets over top of her. Vegeta then did something that he would have never expected from himself. He sat next to her and started to shake her gentle, as not to cause anymore pain, whispering her name close to her ear not hiding any of the worry from his voice and then he started to beg her to come back.

" Vegeta……?" Bulma's weak voice asked from under the mountain of covers.

" shhh… Rest" Vegeta's voice rang back to her.

" Is it you… Ve…ge…ta…? Bulma asked back one more time.

" Yes it's me now lay down and get some rest… women." Vegeta said the last part louder and stronger, then all the rest of the words, as if trying to cover up the worry in his voice, but having no success. Vegeta stood and was about to leave the room now satisfied that the women was all right but found he could not move. Nothing was keeping him there by brute strength but Bulma's hand was rapped around his wrist and she was tugging at it the best she could.

" Please don't… leave me… please stay." Bulma pleaded with him and he could not find it in his power to say no, so he lay down next to her and then did something that even shocked Bulma, he rapped his arms around her and put his head into her neck snuggling close to her.

" Vegeta?" Bulma asked letting her hand travel to his face and resting it there. " Thank you"

"Hum" was heard and Bulma couldn't but smile, this felt so right, ' but it's Vegeta!' Her mind protested. ' I'll deal with that detail later' she concluded.

Soon both Vegeta and Bulma were asleep, minds drifting and wondering, neither wanting to think about what tomorrow would bring.
