Chapter 41
It's late -I KNOW! It's just that I wanted to spend time with my cousin because she got sent over to Iraq. Pray her please!

Bulma gave Ginyu a swift kick to his side. He grabbed her leg and went to swig her into ground, but she was too fast for him. She used her arms to stop her from crashing into the ground, and caught Ginyu by surprise. She used that moment of surprise to slam the leg he held in his hand right into his face. He flew back releasing her completely. She shot a Ki blast toward him and turned to her friends.
"He's all yours Vegeta!" She called retreating back to the senshi.
"Finally" Vegeta mumbled stepping forward. As their paths crossed he stopped her and dropped the little pouch in her hand "You eat one," he said pausing and grinning slyly at the tiny pouch "they're good"
Bulma looked confused at the little bag for a moment and went to look back up at Vegeta -who to her surprise was already attacking Ginyu. She enclosed the bag in her palm and continued toward the sideline.
Gohan, Krillen, and Tein cheered for her as she approached. Nappa and Piccolo just nodded in acknolodgement, Yamcha didn't even look.
Bulma sighed as she noticed Yamcha's fixed look on the field. She sighed 'Oh, well' and slumped down against a tree. She gingerly flipped the little bag of beans back and fourth between her two hands. She slowly pulled the drawstring and reached in to get one.
She pulled a bean out of the bag and examined it carefully. She placed the bean gently on her tongue and chewed curiously after a chew or two her jaw stopped.
"EEW!" she exclaimed as she frantically tried to spit the bean out. "What in the world does Kami put in those things?" she asked now embarrassed because everyone was staring at her and plus now to make it even worse Yamcha sent her a 'look'
The senshi drew their eyes back to the battlefield as they heard Vegeta yell his finisher 'Gallat Gun'
"Just when I don't want them to notice me they do" Bulma muttered under her breath. She looked boardly at Kuwi's camps -the fight was getting boring in her mind. She narrowed her eyes as she saw Kuwi make a mad dash for the ship.

Kuwi ran frantically back into the ship. He needed to contact Freesia immediately. "Where is it, where is it?" he mumbled as he searched for the Contact Room. When he finally stumbled upon it he pulled it open so hard the door breaking it off its hinges.
He scampered over to the keyboards and punched in the codes at lightning speed. When a lower class minion appeared on the screen he ordered for him to get Freesia and to make it snappy or he would see to it when he returned that he would kill him -even though it was very likely he wouldn't be returning.
When Freesia finally appeared Kuwi began to speak immediately. "Lord Freesia, I have just made a discovery -a very important discovery" Kuwi said, his voice was quick and breathy and full of excitement.
Freesia didn't even flinch. He was well aware of the failures of his -and the Ginyu Force. But in a way Freesia was glad that their murders had accounted in such a way. It reminded him on just how much he relied on his "army" when he could just very well capture whom he wanted to capture, kill whom he wanted to kill, torture any one whom he wanted to torture, better himself -alone- with less casualties and less annoyances.
"Lord Freesia," Kuwi continued "The female Sayain wasn't BORN a Sayain. She had WISHED to become one"
Freesia's ear's perked up to show he was listening. He didn't feel like talking to Kuwi at the moment just for the fact that in a sense Kuwi had just proved his last realization partially wrong, but he was really compelled to find out what had made the Sayain -maybe he wouldn't have to capture the girl after all.
Kuwi started again the excitement clearly bouncing around his face "Dragon Balls" Kuwi whispered.
Freesia looked at him raising an eye, deciding to not hold out any longer on his I'm-not-speaking-to-you-anymore façade. "Dragon Balls?" he asked.
Kuwi nodded and repeated "Dragon Balls"
"How do they work?" Freesia said as he snapped his fingers for someone to get him a glass of brandy. Several lower class soldiers flocked at the opportunity. Kuwi turned his head a little embarrassed at the fact that at one point in time he was just as low class as them.
Freesia noticed this "See the reasons," he said extending his hand to the fights over who would bring him his wine. "why I don't promote apple polishers anymore? You got lucky. So tell me how do these Dragon Balls work?"
Kuwi cleared his throat and explained his excitement in his voice less evident now "They're seven magical spheres each with a certain amount of stars on each to represent their number. If you collect all seven a dragon comes out and will grant you anything you desire"
Freesia jaw slacked a little and he studied Kuwi for a few moments "Tell me, where can I find these magical spheres?"
"They are scattered around the universe. Only certain select planets hold these treasures."
"What about Earth?" Freesia inquired "Can't you just collect them from Earth and bring them to me? They ARE on Earth, correct?"
"Yes, they are on Earth but they are inactive for the next year"
"What?"
"The female Sayain -she's a human who wished herself to become a Sayain. But she did this approximately a few days ago. These Dragon Balls, can only be used once a year." Kuwi explained.
"I see" Freesia said reaching for the glass of wine a servant brought him. "Where are they the rest of the time?"
"They are hidden and look like ordinary stones until the year is up. It would be impossible to locate them."
~
Bulma silently snuck around the tree, hoping no one would notice she left. She looked up at the fight, Ginyu and Vegeta were punch for punch and kick for kick. She growled low in her throat and started to make her way to get around the back end of the spaceship where Kuwi went in.
~
"Kuwi, I have decided that I'm not going to have you die on Earth from your past failure" Freesia said as he set his glass down. Kuwi's face fell and tried to speak to assure Freesia that was not the case, but Freesia interrupted him. "I want you just to return to my mother ship immediately. I no longer have use for any of those low class soldiers or Ginyu" he paused to take a sip of wine "Just take off now, just yourself. Set a direct path too. I want you to be here. You have proved you are more worth then trouble. I need more like you. You have failed me once -see that it never happens again - but you have more then made up for it."
"Thank you, my lord" Kuwi said taking a small bow. "I will leave immediately"
~
"Yes," Bulma whispered as she came along the side of the ship "I'm in!"
~
"Launch process in 10... 9... 8..." a computerized voice said as Kuwi started the ship. Freesia still remained on the communicator's screen.
~
Bulma jumped as the ship door closed behind her. "If he thinks he's going to beat me he has another thing coming" she huffed as she broke out into a sprint off into the ship in search of Kuwi.
~
I'm a horrible, horrible, horrible person for making you all wait this long for an update!
It's late -I KNOW! It's just that I wanted to spend time with my cousin because she got sent over to Iraq. Pray her please!
