Chapter 14.

Authors Note:

Hey how are you all doing!?

And seeing as how there is silence . . .

Apiphanie walked down the hall quickly, there was hustle and bustle of things being moved.

She knew for a fact her and Bulma would be alone for a little bit, and she knew for a fact that Vegeta didn't want her out of his site for a little bit.

'he has to, I just know it.'

She told herself.

One worked stood at the end of the hall,

"Miss, we have finished."

Apiphanie looked at the worked sharply,

"show it to me please."

The worked nodded and directed Apiphanie to Vegeta's room.

She looked around and smirked,

'just perfect.'

She snickered to herself.

* * *

Bulma blinked.

Did Vegeta just day that?

'like royalty'

she could have sworn he did.

Vegeta looked at Bulma's slightly confused face.

Then there was a knock at the door and Cyanryou walked in,

"Sir, Princess Apiphanie has asked for you to hurry up."

Vegeta nodded and started walking to Cyanryou,

"Come Woman."

Bulma took in a deep breath and started to walk lamely towards him.

Vegeta sighed and walked back to her.

Bulma felt herself being lifted up and then Vegeta lifted from the ground and suddenly she was in a room with what looked like doctors.

One doctor looked up to Vegeta and Bulma,

"What would you like sire?"

one woman asked.

"She is in a lot of pain."

He stated simply.

The doctor nodded and reached to a cupboard, then tossed a pill to Vegeta,

"Giver her this, she won't feel the pain this way."

Vegeta handed the pill to Bulma who took it gratefully.

Soon Bulma could not feel the pain.

Vegeta dropped her to the floor gently and it only took a few seconds but soon she was able to function on her own, without pain.

When Vegeta turned to the door Cyanryou was there, watching Bulma with wonderus eyes.

As Vegeta walked by, he stopped,

"She is a fine woman, she seems to like you a lot, if you like her enough, be with her."

Vegeta mumbled, then he waked off.

Bulma smiled at Cyanryou and ran after Vegeta, leaving a stunned Cyanryou to watch them walk.

"Bu-?"

he started.

* * *

Apiphanie looked to the side when she heard the soft footsteps of her brother walking over to her,

"Hey Vegeta."

She mumbled as she looked over some papers.

"I have brought her, I must go to my room, I have to get changed."

Apiphanie sharply looked at him,

"I need you to look at these papers first, I'll go get your stuff."

Vegeta glanced at the pictures, then as he looked closer he saw they were on Slavery.

"I'll work on these for a little while first."

He mumbled.

Apiphanie jumped up and grabbed Bulma's arm,

"Common, lets go."

Bulma was dragged from the room, shortly followed by Cyanryou.

They walked straight to Bulma's room.

As soon as Cyanryou got to the door he stopped and looked around.

Apiphanie looked at Cyanryou and saw a familure look in his eyes,

"Shut up about it kay?!"

she laughed, hardly able to suppress the laughter over the little joke she was playing.

Cyanryou nodded and smiled.

Bulma looked around,

"Vegeta said it was going to be to my liking, and it is, I can still smell the paint!"

she laughed as she walked around to check stuff out.

Apiphanie looked at the desk and grabbed some paper, then a pen.

Cyanryou watched as Apiphanie walked to the door, with a bit of tape in her hand.

She went to the outside and stuck the paper on the door so everyone outside the door could read it.

When Apiphanie walked away he looked at the picture,

'stay out, we are having girl time and you don't want to other us.'

Cyanryou raised a brow,

"Do you want me to leave miss?"

Apiphanie shrugged,

"It doesn't matter to me, it's just if he see's the room . . ."

she knew full well Cyanryou's mind was keen and that he knew what was happening.

Cyanryou nodded in agreement,

"If you don't mind, I want to explore?"

he asked in a worried tone.

Apiphanie waved him off,

"Go ahead Cyanryou."

Cyanryou paused a second,

'I've never even said my name to her.'

He told himself.

Cyanryou closed the door quietly as he left, now he was even more confused than before.

* * *

Bulma and Apiphanie were leafing through her clothes,

"Vegeta went out everyday looking for you."

Apiphanie told her.

Bulma's eyes watered a little, she didn't know why.

Apiphanie held out a long blue dress, then shook her head and put it back.

"He wouldn't eat properly, wouldn't even eat unless I told him to . . .he would bring back outfits everyday, I would ask why he had boxes of stuff and he wouldn't answer . . .one day I snuck in here and took a peek, and saw tat there were all these clothes.

I know you don't think Vegeta is kind, or nice . . . but he was mostly raised by my father, I was too young to be influenced by my father. . . .But Vegeta cared a great deal for you, I wish you could know how scared he was, I could see it in his eyes, in his body language, everything about him said 'I am scared.'"

Bulma turned to the window and whipped a tear from her eye, she had thought Vegeta was careless and waiting for her to get to him, she didn't believe the doctor one bit.

Apiphanie glanced at her,

"He really cares for you."

Bulma looked over the city,

"He sure doesn't seem like he does when we're at my house."

Apiphanie sat down on the bed,

"What does he do?"

Bulma sighed in an effort to stop the slow tears.

"He never calls me Bulma."

"Because Woman gets your attention, if he called you Bulma, and asked, or rather demanded something, you wouldn't have as much pep to do it."

Bulma thought about that,

"That makes sense, why is he always so mean, why is he always forcing me to fight back. Why is he always pushing my buttons?"

Apiphanie blinked and looked down,

"Remember when he said you were a Saiyan that needed a trigger? Maybe he was trying to get to that trigger?"

* * *

Vegeta looked out the window,

'why does she haunt me so?'
