Chapter 35 ~ The 200 Review Special!
~
"Have you had enough yet?" Bulma mocked as she backhanded Yamcha across the face. He didn't answer. She gave him a swift kick to the ribs. "Have you?" she screamed. He still didn't answer. She was about to give him another kick when someone spoke.
"I think he has" the deep voice said as who ever said it put a hand on her shoulder.
Bulma tuned around, sure enough there was Vegeta "Woman, lets go we have better things to worry about"
She looked back down at Yamcha then back at Vegeta. She really didn't want to go but didn't want to put up a fight. She sighed in defeat "Fine, let's go"
She lightly grabbed Vegeta's hands "But only if you carry me" a small smile tugged at her lips. Vegeta eyed her funny for a few moments -and for a second Bulma thought he was going to say 'No'.
"Only if you can catch me" he smirked. He untangled his fingers from hers, took a step back and blasted off.
Bulma blinked a few times registering what he had said. "Oh no he didn't" she muttered as she blasted off into the sky following him.
~
Yamcha glared at the two fading Ki streaks that shimmered in the sky. One a warm and dazzling amber, the other a cool and fading azure. It made him sick -not the love between Bulma and Vegeta, but himself. All of this pain -he inflicted on himself all because of one mistake and that was Bulma.
He promised himself he would have nothing to do with her ever again. It was strange when he had her he never wanted her -he preferred the company of a street whore that would tend to his every need. Bulma wasn't like that she had to what she wanted when she pleased.
Which wasn't true and he knew it.
It was more like she didn't do what he wanted and whenever he pleased. But now he wanted her even if she never did anything for him again, he wanted her just so he would have her to call his own.
Then it dawned him -he was lonely. Even when he did have Bulma he still was lonely obviously because he always wanted to be in a woman's attention. When he cheated on her he never gave it a second though or even fell guilty about it until the next day or so after usually if they had a date and he was home instead watching TV. Bulma always found out when he cheated on her he did know how exactly.
But of course who wouldn't be lonely? Living in the desert all alone with a blue cat as your only companion, and even after a while that blue cat you took for granted left you too.
Yamcha sighed and hulled himself up using the dumpster for support. Bulma had thrown him into the back alley because then 'She would save him some embarrassment'
In truth it did really.
~
"Ha! I got you!" Bulma cheered as she grabbed Vegeta's ankle.
Vegeta looked back at her. 'There is no way she is that fast'
"I let you win," he said haughtily. "Besides..." he said as he phased out of existence and reappeared behind Bulma "I got you now woman" and with that he grabbed her around the waist as blasted off. He made sure to go his maximum so it really would seem like the speed he was flying at before did seem slow.
She let out a tiny squeal. She looked up at Vegeta who was looking down on her. She gave him a warm smile and extended her head up to kiss he cheek.
"Oh, come on now woman I know you can do better then that" he said as he wiggled his fingers that were wound around her waist.
"Vegeta stop! That tickles!" she laughed as he continued to tickle her.
"No" he said.
"You'd better" she said still laughing.
This time he did stop "Why you'll beat me up?" he teased.
"No I'll get the book cart too" she smiled but regretted saying that the minute those words left her mouth. She watched that darkness creep back into to his eyes, the one that was there in his eyes when she had first met him a day and a half ago.
"Vegeta I- " she started but he did let her finish.
"It's fine" he said. His tone was so cold and lonely -like the same one he used when he talked about Freesia.
"If you say so," she said meekly. Obviously Vegeta's ego had been damaged badly from the whole 'book cart' ordeal. She meant for it to be a joke but Vegeta wasn't one to take jokes too well.
She slid her arm up around his neck. She frowned when he flinched back "I said I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.... I wasn't thinking, it was a meant to be a joke"
Vegeta took an immediate stop. "So, you think it's a joke. What if a coward wielding a book cart took you out? Do you have any idea how much that made me look like the weak fool that HE is!" he said slowly his eyes turned down to the landscape that lingered several hundred feet below them.
"Vegeta I said I was sorry! What do you want -" Bulma asked quietly
"I SAID it was fine" he spat.
Bulma sighed. "I'm going to head home. I'm getting kind of hungry. You want to come?"
"Just go I'll catch up -later," he said as he flew off in the other direction.
She watched him blast through the sky. The clouds flashed briefly with blue. She slowly descended to the ground. She let her thoughts runs loose for a moment. 'I haven't even known him for more then two days and I fell in love with him.'
She a pebble as she walked through the prairie. She was guessing she was in northern China -in one of the wheat fields.
She plucked a grain and chewed on it absently. "What's with the whole pride ordeal with him" she asked herself out-loud.
"Why does it matter now? I could see if he was on Freesia's ship... but here no one cares" she rambled her thoughts on out-loud. "Except him" she sighed.
~
"General Kuwi, the landing was successful" a minion bowed.
"And Ginyu's?" Kuwi asked pretending to examine his nails.
"Successful as well sir,"
"Very good, everything is running as planned" Kuwi smiled.
He looked around the control room of the ship. "Which target is closest?" he shouted.
"The woman!" one of the technicians shouted.
"Troops get ready! We strike in five minutes!" Kuwi shouted.
~
Bulma continued to look into the clouds wondering about Vegeta's well being. "He's so stubborn" She smiled "But so am I"
"I wonder what he's doing right now?" she snorted "Probably off in some desert training himself. I don't get why he takes things so seriously."
"Are you lost... Sayain?" An icy voice said from behind her.
She swerved around and went ridged strait. There stood a blue alien with an army of men -she was guessing about 700. She was about to ask who they were when she noticed the armor. It was the same as Vegeta and Nappa's.
"I take it you're Freesia?" she hissed.
"On the contrary my dear, I work for Freesia." Kuwi grinned showing his over developed canines that stuck out like fangs. "But don't worry you'll meet Freesia soon" he chuckled.
"You don't know who your messing with." She snarled getting into fighting stance.
"Oh, trust me I do" Kuwi mocked. He turned to the army "Men" he pointed to Bulma "get her"
The men charged at her in a formation that looked like it took these men all their lives to learn much less memorize. But it didn't matter these men had all power levels below 1,000. She smirked and got out of stance. She took a swift tuned on her heal and put her back to them. The leader was only about 10,000. She snorted, she could take him out in a flick of her wrist.
The army of men all took this by surprise and abruptly stopped. It was dead silence side for Bulma's light snickering.
"Why'd you stop?" she said, he back still turned. She extended her hands "See I got nothing to hide"
The men just stood there totally flustered staring but each one blinking here and there. Kuwi was enraged.
"You fools! Why'd you stop? Seize her!" He shouted. Immediately the soldiers snapped out of their trance and continued their assault.
Bulma stood calm......... waiting. Waiting for the perfect moment. She counted down the seconds. They were only about ten yards away now.
"A little closer, little closer and..." she muttered under her breath. They now closed in on about 4 or 5 yards.
"NOW!" she screamed as she unleashed a wave of ki that totally incinerated the men toward the front and deathly injured the men toward the back. It
Kuwi raised an arm to shield his eyes and face from the typhoon of flying bodies, armor and rocks.
"When Freesia said this woman was a Sayain, he sure wasn't kidding. She took out ¾'s of my army in one blow. I think I might need the Ginyu Force for this one" Kuwi said to himself.
He turned to a soldier that wasn't as badly injured as the majority. "You there!" he pointed "Contact the Ginyu Force immediately!"
"Yes sir!" the soldier bowed and made a beeline for the ship.
When the roaring winds came to cease Kuwi walked out from the cloud of smoke that had formed from all the dirt and dust. He was angered somewhat to see she still had her back turned. He felt as if in some way she was mocking him by it.
"Very nice. Training haven't we?" he crooned.
"Actually no" Bulma said. 'Good' she thought 'Let him think he stands a chance'
"Then my aren't we the perfectionist" he said remaining levelheaded but inside he was a tornado of anger and irritation. His life was on the line here, and he wasn't going to lose it because of one woman -one SAYAIN.
'You obviously don't know me then do you?" Bulma snapped "Because if you did, you would know am I one of the most powerful fighter on this planet."
Kuwi frowned "Arrogant as well. Huh woman? Seems like a little bit of Vegeta rubbed off on you"
"How do you know Vegeta" she growled.
"These Sayain's -so protective of their royalty? No?" Kuwi replied.
"How do you know him?" She asked again this time the anger was more evident in her voice.
"He was an acquaintance on Freesia's ship. Nothing more." He explained.
Bulma snarled "Speaking of Freesia -Why doesn't do his own work instead of sending out weaklings and cowards like you to do it -that is if he's so powerful and all?"
Kuwi snarled "Bitch, you have no idea what power is"
"Oh, so I suppose you want to demonstrate for me?" Bulma
This caught Kuwi by surprise. He knew he couldn't fight her and win, she was 20 times stronger then he. "Trust me, you want to save your strength little missy. Once the Ginyu Force gets here you're going to need it"
"Like I said cowards and weaklings" she flashed a grin "Please don't give me the satisfaction of being right" her words oozed so much sweet sarcasm you could pour it over pancakes.
