Chapter 40

~

Bulma landed at the battle site just in time to see Vegeta send Jeice 'into the next dimension'.

"So, just the Ginyu Captain is left?" she asked no one in particular.

"Yes" Nappa answered. His dark eyes met Bulma's "But it's far from over. You and I both know that"

Bulma swallowed a lump in her throat "You know?" she asked so no one else would hear.

"I've been in Freesia's army long enough to know he always gets what he wants." Nappa paused "we have to prepare"

"How long," Bulma breathed deep "Do we have to prepare?"

"I say about a week at the most. Two Days the least" Nappa shrugged. But his eyes distant and totally hopeless "It wouldn't matter anyway. Even if we had a year we still wouldn't be able to match his power" his voiced was dragged and lazy as if there really was NO hope.

Bulma narrowed her eyes and turned away "Nappa, you have no idea how ready we will be" she said and walked away.

Nappa's head snapped up "What?" he said bewildered, but Bulma didn't answer.

Bulma looked on at the fight between Vegeta and Captain Ginyu and it seemed that Vegeta was losing despite the huge advantage he had against Ginyu. A small bead of sweat formed at her temple and she growled as she brushed it away. "He's losing" she mumbled frustrated.

"Bulma he's probably tired" Krillen interjected "He did after all beat all the other Ginyu Force members" he suggested.

Bulma reddened and she looked down at the ground to hide her blush, she was still embarrassed about her 'stumble' -even though Krillen didn't witness it.

"That's it! I can't take it anymore!" Bulma growled as she watched Ginyu land a good one right in his face. Bulma powered up and flashed behind Ginyu and knocked him strait into the ground. 'Woman, what do you think you are doing!" Vegeta yelled from his spot on the ground.

"You're tired, take a break!" Bulma hissed back.

"I was doing just fine!" Vegeta protested getting back on his feet.

Bulma descended to the ground quickly. "I let you help me out, now let me help you out, Vegeta." She pleaded taking his hand. "Take a break, get your energy back. I'll brush him up a little, but I'll let you have the final blow. Please, Vegeta"

He growled pulling away "Fine! But you get five minutes"

"Oh, yeah!" she exclaimed reaching in her pocket, remembering the senzu beans. "Here! Eat one" she said as she tossed it to him and was off to find Ginyu in a flash,

Okay, Okay, I know this chapter is so late and ever so short -the next few might be late too(

I have lots of things going on right now with family, school, and such, so it's going to be a tough stretch. I'm really bummed too.

So please, please, I know I have late updates a lot but I never seem to have time and for that I am sorry. I just thought I would tell you this so you peoples wouldn't think I'm dead or something.
