Shinigami wrinkled his nose up in disgust. "Why would I bother
telling you about my personal problems? Its none of your business! Besides,
I shouldn't even be conversing with you, you're the hostage! If Oni catches
me, it'll be my hide, then yours, and believe me you don't want to feel her
wrath any more than what you have to. Its not pretty."
Bulma shook her head and sighed. She had almost got him to tell her about himself, she'd almost got him to reveal that one little thing about himself that could help her later on. She had to continue to try, it was her only chance at keeping herself from getting killed at this point. Besides, she needed conversation. "Why do you follow Oni around anyways? You could probably take care of yourself!"
Laughing Shinigami turned his back to her. "Oni is my sister, I'd never leave her."
"What happened to your girlfriend?!"
"That's none of your business!" Shinigami yelled angrily, reeling around on Bulma. "Its none of your business at all!"
Speaking of Shinigami's former girlfriend obviously hit a soft spot, she had to keep talking about her, she had to find out more. Not only was she curious, but she'd got his attention. "Did she die?! Was she killed?! WHAT?!" Bulma yelled.
"Keep it down!" Shinigami yelled, slapping his hand over her mouth. "If you shut up I'll tell you!"
Bulma nodded, and he released her. She smiled satisfied, and settled herself comfortably, waiting on him. "She was the most beautiful creature I'd ever seen in my entire life, she was sweet, kind, and perfect. I wanted to spend my life with her, but Oni wouldn't let me trade my powers to be mortal. So I suggested that she be turned into one of us, but Oni once again didn't approve. She didn't want any more than just the two of us."
Bulma frowned, and opened her mouth to say something but Shinigami continued on almost as if in a daze, lost in his former thoughts. "I went to visit her in secret one night, and told her she had to hide because Oni was going to try something horrible to keep us apart. She begged me not to leave her, she begged me not to, she told me Oni would find her, but I wouldn't listen, I told her she'd be safe, that Oni wouldn't get her. But she wasn't safe. I led her straight to her death, all because I wanted to protect her from Oni."
"Oni had us ambushed, she sent her best warriors after us. I had planned to give up my immortality to be with her, but Oni wasn't about to allow such a thing. She had the girl kidnapped, and brought to her castle, where then in a demon ritual she slaughtered her as a sacrificial gift to the so called gods, to renew my vow of immortality!" There were tears in the boy's eyes, as he turned away from Bulma. "So now I'm forced to live a cursed life, feeding off the life of mortals, an energy vampire, all because of my jealous sister!"
Bulma was at a loss for words, her throat tight. What a horrible sister, how could anyone do such a thing?! To their own brother no less?! She couldn't understand it. "Shinigami." she said softly, before the idea hit her hard in the head. Why hadn't she thought of this at first?! "Shinigami!"
"You sound so amused, do you agree with my sister?" Shinigami asked darkly.
"Hardly! But on Earth there are these things called Dragon Balls that grant you two wishes! If you help me get out of here, and if you help me stop Oni from harming Vegeta, I promise you can get these Dragon Balls and you can bring your girlfriend back from the dead!"
Shinigami turned to her in disbelief. "How am I supposed to believe you?"
"Your just going to have to trust me." Bulma said with a wink.
Vegeta leaned back against a large marble white pillar as Yamcha and company had a chat with Kami. He knew Bulma was alright, she was a strong woman, but he didn't know how long she would last alone with Oni and her brother. He wasn't exactly sure why he was tempted to save her, or why he seemed to have fallen for the loud mouthed aqua haired woman, but something so drew him to her. Something about her smile, her shining sapphire eyes. Something.
But he was a prince, a man of high ranks, and that woman was just a vulgar creature with nothing better to do than to yell at him. "Vegeta.." someone calling him ripped him away from his thoughts. "Vegeta, Kami says he'll allow you to go through, though only because its to save Bulma."
"Humph." Vegeta gave Chaozu a sideways glance before pushing his body from the pillar and walking to the old Namek. His ivory gaze moved up and down the old, green and wrinkled body before he smirked. "You sure you want to let me through old timer?"
"I trust your wishes are well. There is something different about you Vegeta, something more noble."
Vegeta snorted slightly. "I don't want your sappy crap. Just take me to Bulma, alright?"
"Very well." Kami motioned Vegeta's follow, shaking his green head. Although he seemed different he was still in a way the same pushy, cocky Vegeta he always was.
Bulma shook her head and sighed. She had almost got him to tell her about himself, she'd almost got him to reveal that one little thing about himself that could help her later on.
