Carrots or Vegetables? Chapter 3: Distractions can bedistracting, a dragon ball z fanfic

Well I have yet another idea for a fic, this is an AU which takes place on Vegeta-sei. They are all saiya-jins, and 18, 'cept Raditz, he's 22. Warning: Begins as a Bulma/Vegeta/Kakarot triangle but will eventually be B/V and K/CC. I, unfortunately, don't own DBZ; I do stalk Vegeta though! ^_^

Carrots or Vegetables?

Chapter 3: Distractions can be…distracting..

Jadeis' face brightened as she spotted her mate in the distance. She ran up to him as quickly as her little feet could take her. Her long black mane ruffled behind her, threatening to come out of its loose ponytail.

"Raddy! There you are!" She exclaimed, latching herself onto his arm.

Raditz couldn't help but smile as he saw his mate but reminded himself he had a task at hand. "Jade…not right now…the Prince has given me orders, I must follow them first.."

"Surely one dance wouldn't make you too far behind…" she said, letting her tail play with his.

Raditz gulped and looked around, and shrugged his shoulders as he found Vegeta to be nowhere in sight. 'What harm can come out of one dance?' he thought. He looked to his mate and held out his hand "Alright, but this better keep you satisfied for a while, because then I need to complete my task at hand."

Jadeis smirked and let out a soft laugh as she accepted his hand "Oh Raddy, you always satisfy me."

He blushed slightly and they began to dance.

Bulma and Kakarot smiled finally taking a break from dancing.

"Do you want something to drink?" he asked her.

"Sure, that would be nice"

"Anything in particular?"

"As long as it doesn't have alcohol in it, I'm good" Bulma replied.

Kakarot nodded and walked off "I shall return"

"And I shall wait"

"No onna, you shall not " Said a gruff voice behind her.

She spun around to find herself face to face with Vegeta, who was wearing a lustful look in his eyes. For not the first time that night did she curse her mother for putting her in such a revealing outfit.

"No, and why wouldn't I wait for my future mate?" she asked, glaring at him defiantly.

Vegeta let out a growl and grabbed her by her wrists, pulling her close to him "First of all onna, he hasn't even offered himself to you yet. Second of all even if he did, he could not take you if I desired you, and I do." He stopped and eyed her up and down once more before continuing "Third of all, you will not wait, because you are to dance with me" He leaned in to whisper in her ear, his warm breath making her a bit nervous. "Besides onna… I promise not to bite…hard…" He chuckled and loosened his grip on her a bit.

She sighed softly and looked up at him, finding herself beginning to blush. 'He may be the world's cockiest asshole…but he's very attractive...why couldn't he look this good…and act more like Kakarot, or Kakarot keep his personality and look like Vegeta…ooh dear…I'm getting as bad as my mother, Bulma, get a hold of yourself girl!' She pulled her hands out of his, still giving him a defiant glare. "Fine! But one dance is all you shall get from me.."

He smirked and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close again as they began to dance. "Onna, that's all I asked for, a dance…"

And they began to dance, gracefully, for a moment forgetting their fast differences and just enjoying it as the music played in the backround.

Hello, I've waited here for you, everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into and out of the red, out of her head she sang
Come down and waste away with me, down with me
Slow how, you wanted it to be, I'm over my head, out of her head she
sang

Vegeta couldn't help but smile a bit as he held her close, though he could feel that she did not feel as comfortable as he did.. He rarely put himself out on the line like this. 'Why do I have the feeling this onna will be the death of me' he mused to himself.

And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel
this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang

Bulma's head began to swim, what was happening? Just a few hours ago she had rejected him, and now they were dancing! It was absurd, among other things. Yet at the same time, she felt so light, so weightless. She would never admit it, but she didn't want to stop.

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you in
And now, I know you've always been out of your head, out of my head I
sang

Vegeta leaned in and took a sniff of her hair; her smell was intoxicating. He wanted to just stand there and hold it in, keep it to himself, and never share it. 'How can such a puny little onna do this to me?' he thought at the back of his head.

'Is this a dream, because it would make a hell of a lot more sense if it was,' Bulma thought. 'Though…it feels way too real to be a dream.' He leaned in and she stiffened a bit. But instead of kissing her like she thought he just lowered her into a dip. Her mind was telling to get away, that this man was dangerous. But her feet refused to let her go.

And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

After a lifetime of nastiness and fakeness, Vegeta felt as if he finally was holding onto something real. When the song ended he felt her begin to try to wriggle out of his grip, she had snapped out of her trance it seems. But instead of letting her go, he brought her closer and kissed her gently on the lips.

Kakarot started walking towards where he had left Bulma, carrying two glasses of punch in his hands. She was dancing with someone, correction; she was dancing with the prince. He sighed, Vegeta did seem the type to force women into things. But what really came as a shock was when he saw Vegeta kiss Bulma, and that she didn't pull away…

King Vegeta left out a small laugh "Finally my son got some balls and made a move"

Nappa looked at him, "But sire, didn't Kakarot have his eyes on the same onna?"

"So?"

"I just think things might get very messy…"

"Perhaps, but my son can handle it…I think.."

"That I don't doubt, but what about the onna, what if she chooses Kakarot?"

"You're right. And my son will have no one but her, so do you know what we need to do?"

"What sire?"

"Make sure that Kakarot finds another onna, and gives up on this one."

"Ah, and who's job is it to do that?" Nappa asked, pretty much already knowing the answer.

"You, it's your job to find an onna for Kakarot. Speaking of jobs, where the hell did Raditz go?"

And that people, is chapter 3. What's going to happen next chap? Well that's really left up to vturnip, as the next chapter's hers, but I guarantee it'll be interesting. Oh and the song in here is "Everlong" by The Foo Fighters; they own it, I don't. Read, enjoy, and always, always review!
