Chapter 6: Educating Bulma
Just about the entire day had passed before Vegeta or Bulma made their presences known. When Vegeta awoke, he immediately snuck in the house and up to his room for a shower. He paused momentarily at Bulmas door wandering if she was up yet. 'She'll probably sleep all day and night knowing how she is.' He then continued on to his own room where he showered and changed. It was getting close to diner time so he decided to postpone his training until after diner. Now he would just lay on his bed , relax and try to clear his mind.
Next door Bulma had already been up. She had showered, put on her make-up and changed into her clean clothes. She decided to go down and help her mother with diner.
Hearing footsteps coming down the stairs, Mrs. Briefs turned to see her daughter. "Hi, Sweetie, you finally decided to get up, huh? I was beginning to get worried about you and Vegeta. I haven't seen him either."
"Yeah, mom, well, we had a pretty late night last night, there were some issues that had to be *worked out* in the Gravity Room." 'At least that is not a lie, just not the whole truth,' thought Bulma. "Can I help you with anything?"
"Sure you can. I picked up some fresh strawberries while we were in town yesterday. If you don't mind you can get them ready."
Bulma had no problem with this. Strawberries were one of her favorite foods. She parked herself in front of the sink and began capping the berries. While she was doing this she turned on the radio. One of her favorite songs was on. The song is Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. Bulma joined in and started singing along with the radio.
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Vegeta was coming down the stairs when he heard Bulma singing. 'I can't believe she's actually up. Sounds like the woman is in a good mood. Time to change that,' thought the Prince. As he passed behind her, he allowed his tail to make a swipe across the top of her legs, just under her backside. Since Bulma was in her own world at the time, this sudden tickling made her jump about two feet off the ground. Swiftly she turned around only to see the back of Vegeta as he passed on by. She thought for a moment that she could hear him snickering.
"You son-of-a-monkey, you scared the shit out of me."
"Oh, really. I don't see anything , oh, wait a minute, what is that foul smell?", said Vegeta holding his nose, while waving his hand back and forth as if fanning away the odor.
"Shut up Vegeta. Just for that, no strawberries for you!"
"Who gives a shit! What's a strawberry?"
"Guess you'll never know now."
"What's going on in here you two?," asked Mrs. Briefs.
"Nothing mom. Vegeta's just being an ass as usual."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"OK, OK you two that's enough. Bulma let's set the table. Your father will be in soon." Mrs. Briefs exited once again.
"Will do, mom." Turning around to Vegeta, she stuck out her tongue.
"Woman, don't make promises you can't keep."
"Pervert."
"I believe the saying is look who's calling the kettle black, pervert."
The entire time this was going on, Vegeta had been leaning against one of the counters in the kitchen. His tail swooshing lazily behind him. It was on one her trips to the table that Bulma got a sneaky idea. She sat the large platter of meats down then turned to go back and get more. This time she made a point to pass by Vegeta. As she did she nonchalantly grabbed his tail allowing it to pass through her hand.
"Groowwwlllll!!!!!"
"Liked that, huh?"
"I would suggest that you do not do that again if you know what is best for you."
"Or what"
"Well, let's just say last night was nothing compared to what I could do to you."
"Yeah, yeah. Promises, promises."
"You probably wouldn't live through it."
Upon hearing this, Bulma was getting excited. 'How could there possibly be more, compared to last night?,' she thought. This intrigued her. So she, being Bulma, did only what Bulma would do. Upon making another stop at the table, she turned again to pass by the anxious Saiyan. Grabbing his tail once more, this time squeezing it and running her fingernails all the way to the tip.
Vegeta looked at Bulma with a distinct passion burning in his eyes. You could actually see his chest rise and fall with his breathes. He was angered by her carelessness not to heed his warning.
Vegeta grabbed Bulma by the wrists. Bulma had not seen this side of him in weeks. She was trembling.
"I told you woman. What part did you not understand? I guess I will have to educate you. When a Saiyans tail is provoked in the right way, with the right stimulation, a transformation will occur."
"Wha, what do you mean a transformation will occur?," Bulma said shakily.
"I have never experienced it myself. I only know of it from what I was told as a child and what Nappa had told me of it. Once it happens, you lose all rationality. Every primal instinct and urge manifests itself. There is NO holding back and very little control. Usually, if both parties survive, they are considered worthy to be mates. So you see, you being a weak and frail human you would never survive. Therefore, we could never be mates."
Bulma just looked at Vegeta. She knew he was telling her the truth. She could see it in his eyes. Now she becoming more upset. Mostly with herself. He let go of her and stomped out to the Gravity Room. He would have diner later, alone. Bulma stood there in shock. 'Damn it. How could I let myself get involved with him. Either I continue playing around with him only to never have him completely or I take a chance of killing myself with what sounds like the best sex ever and if by some miracle I survive, wait a minute , I can be pretty rough when needed, who says I wouldn't survive. But would I want to be with him the rest of my life. Maybe I should think about this before I get myself into something I'm not ready for.'
One thing neither of them realized, was that eventually Bulma would have no choice but to initiate the change. For last night, when Vegeta bit her, a change would now be taking place within her.
A/N: If you have not seen DBGT or a picture of Vegeta at level 4, you may want to try to find a picture. Wouldn't want anyone to be in the dark in upcoming chapters. lol ;)
