character and not part of DBZ. The rest isn't ours, why would it be?
OMG You guys are the best!! I'm so happi!! ^____^. And I promise that I NOT, you hear that, NOT stop this story until I have to.

The love of two women; the heart of one man
Chapter Eighteen
~*~*~*~
Tears stained her lovely closed crystalline eyes. She stirred in her sleep; the silk sheets bunching up in a knot around her waist. Dreams were haunting her again; she hadn't gotten nearly enough sleep for the past few nights and tonight was no exception.
It was the time of year when the nights were growing long, the coming summer promise lay in the air bringing with it heat that was a foreshadowing of what was to come. It had been two murderous days since Vegeta had left Bulma's life both socially and romantically. And poor Bulma had yet to tell Juuhachi-gou and Chi-Chi what had happened. That and the fact that she was pregnant. She had no idea how her friends would handle that. How could she tell them that her and Vegeta were over and at the same time she was expecting his child? It was impossible. She couldn't do it. Bulma twisted in her bed once more, there were so many things that were stopping her from sleeping that it was ridiculous. Turning on her side Bulma opened her eyes; she looked at the clock on her nightstand. It read 12:29 AM. Bulma sighed and took the phone into her hands. She knew that her friends would understand.
~*~
"Don't you ever get tired of my whipping your ass?" Vegeta sneered over to Goku.
Goku dropped a controller on the floor. "You just got lucky. Boxing isn't my game." Goku amended.
"Then that means that neither is racing, basketball, baseball, soccer, and wrestling." Vegeta pointed out.
From behind them Krillin laughed to himself. He was plopped up top Vegeta's bed, listening to the boys argue about Playstation games for the past hour. Not that he minded. He actually found it funny.
"I would go on with the list but then I'd just sound like a DMX music video." Vegeta sighed as he shut off the console.
"Are you two going to that party thing that's going down tomorrow night?" Krillin asked, Goku walked by him and sat down on the floor.
Vegeta looked down at his friends, if he would call them that. "Tomorrow night?"
"Yeah." Krillin replied. "I heard it's going to be off the chain."
"We should go!" Goku said.
Vegeta arched an eyebrow. "Kakkarot sometimes I swear you are so gay." He placed his games away in a drawer and sat back in a chair at the foot of his bed.
"Well are you goin?" Krillin asked.
Narrowing his eyes at his younger friend, Vegeta responded, "I might."
Goku watched his friend with care. "There seems to be something bothering you." Goku observed. "And whatever it is, might wear off if we go to the party tomorrow night." Goku pointed out.
Krillin nodded. "You're right. That's a great idea."
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Kakkarot? Great idea? You have to be kidding."
Goku placed his hand behind his head famously and smiled. "So you'll go?"
Admitting defeat, Vegeta let out a huff of air. "Sure. Why not? I might even get my nails done for the occasion." He muttered sarcastically.
Krillin got off of the bed. "I think I'm going to go hit the sack for now."
"Alone no less." Vegeta added.
Krillin shook his head. "Not all of us can be like you Vegeta. A new whore in your bed every night."
There came an uneasy silence in the room. Vegeta and Goku eyed each other then moved over to Krillin. Krillin sweat dropped and decided that it was best he got to bed. "I'll take the room at the end of the hall." Krillin cleared his throat.
"Fine by me." Vegeta muttered offhandedly. "The sooner you leave the better."
Goku shook his head, he knew that was his friend's form of some type of approval. "Alright, I'll see you later."
"Yeah same here." Krillin said. "Good night."
Vegeta walked towards the door. "With you two idiots here, there is no way that this will be a good night." Once Krillin and Goku were out of his room, Vegeta shut the door behind them. He wanted to be alone for once.
~*~
"Oh Bulma sweety..." Chi-Chi's voice filled with worry, a motherly type of worry. "I'm so sorry. How could you?!"
Bulma dropped her head to her knees and hugged them to her chest. She held the phone to her ear absently. "I know Chi I know, I wasn't thinking."
"Damn right you weren't." A third feminine voice chimed in. "Bulma how could you?"
Bulma sighed; she wanted to cry all over again. "Juu-Chan please, don't give me guilt."
On her end of the line, Juuhachi-gou let out a long, strained sigh. She placed her fingers up to her temple. So that's what had been different with Bulma. There had been so many subtle things about her that had changed, all together they cause one large change in her. Juuhachi-gou would have never thought that her best friend would be one to get into a situation so misconstrued as this one. She shook her head, there was nothing they could do for now. "Bulma I'm sorry. But..." She paused. "What on Earth are you going to do?"
There was light sobbing on the end of the phone that belonged to Bulma. Chi- Chi coughed, it was getting hard for her not to start crying as well. "I don't know what I'm going to do Juu-Chan! I'm lost!!" Her voice came in loud incoherent sobs.
Chi-Chi lost her voice. She too started to sob somewhat. "Oh Bulma I'd love to help you but...do you seriously think that there's anything we can do?"
Juuhachi-gou nodded. "Yes, you're the one that has to tell Vegeta,"
Bulma cut her off. "No no no no." Bulma screamed. This time her words came out perfectly. "I can't do it."
Chi-Chi raised her eyebrow. "Why the fuck not?!" She asked her friend.
Bulma was hesitant to reply; her response came a few seconds later. "I tried that a few nights ago."
Juuhachi-gou shook her head. "Oh, what happened?"
Taking a deep breath, Bulma began. "I called him over, I had a good long romantic night planned ahead of us. It was perfect." She paused. "But it all went wrong. We started to talk and he wanted to say something." Again Bulma lost her voice. "I wanted to tell him about the...you know...baby. He never let me." She cried out. Bulma blew her nose.
Chi-Chi was pensive. "Honey why not? What did he do?"
"Alright, you remember how I said that h-he needed to t-tell me something?" Bulma didn't wait for a reply. "It just so happened that someone...someone handed pictures of Kenji and I together."
The other ends of the phone got unusually silent. If it weren't for the faint sounds of occasional breathing, Bulma would have thought that she was talking to herself. There wasn't must more she could do or say to her friends. They were silent, not knowing what else there was to do. "There has to be some kind of way to brake the news to him softly." Chi-Chi mused mainly to herself, yet still audible to her friends on the other end of the phone line.
"Chi," Bulma began delicately, trying her best to calm down. "I really don't think that it gets any softer than seducing the pants off of him." Bulma stated. "I've tried everything and failed." Bulma paused momentarily, only to start sobbing a few seconds later. "I want to kill myself."
Chi-Chi was shocked, so much so she dropped the phone on the floor. Picking it up as fast as she could, Chi-Chi screamed into the phone, "BULMA NO!" Juuhachi-gou pulled the phone away from her ear. "Bulma you can't die on me!!" Chi-Chi yelled.
The soft, bittersweet sobs coming from Bulma filled the line. "There's nothing left for me. I think I've reached my e-end." Bulma's voice began to shake once more; she was losing control.
Juuhachi-gou shook her head back and forth; she glanced up to a mirror in her room, her large china eyes filled with certainty. "No." Was Juuhachi- gou's blank statement. "There's no way that you could have tried everything." She tried to encourage her friend. "So please don't kill yourself."
Bulma roughly tugged at her hair. "I can't think of anything." Nearly screamed Bulma into the phone. She glared at the receiver as if it were to blame for the whole fiasco.
"Sweety, you just found out that you were pregnant, tried to tell the baby daddy, and got dumped all in a few day's time." Chi-Chi summarized everything considerately in a nice little sugarcoated package. "I don't blame you for being an emotional wreck."
Bulma got up from her place at the floor of her bed and walked up to her bed once more. She threw herself stomach down on the mattress. Bulma huffed. "I can't lose him Chi. Juu, help me." Bulma sounded so lost, like a three-year-old lost in the cold big world.
Juuhachi-gou could just picture her friend, the way Bulma always got when she was in a situation like that. Feeling an overwhelming of compassion for her friend. Knowing how much it took to move her, Juuhachi-gou knew that this was a very grave situation. She cleared her throat. "How's this? Just relax tonight, try to get some sleep to making it through tomorrow."
Once again Bulma lost her control, she began to sob over and over again. "What's the point of living?!" She demanded from her friends. "I just want to die!" Each word was emphasized with the sound of a heart shattering snivel. "It'll end the pain."
For the first time in the whole conversation, it was time for Juuhachi-gou to be the one doing all of the yelling. "BULMA I SWEAR TO KAMI YOU BETTER NOT KILL YOURSELF!" She yelled loudly enough to shake the walls. "Don't take the coward's way out. If you kill yourself I'll haunt Vegeta until he's mad only to cut his dick off and feed it to him by his ass just before I will him! You got that?!" The strictness of Juuhachi-gou's voice left no room for anything but agreement.
Bulma laughed through her tears. "Oh Juu-chan." She sniffed, Chi-Chi laughed as well.
Juuhachi-gou coughed. "Now listen to me child. As I was saying, get some sleep. Tomorrow night we're going out."
Finally, Bulma looked up; she met her own eyes in the reflection in the mirror across from her room. Her eyes were filled with tears; she tried to clean herself up. "Yeah?" She asked. There was a slight gleam of hope in her voice.
"Yeah." Chi-Chi backed up Juuhachi-gou's prior idea. She had too taken notice of the hope that it gave her friend.
Bulma sat up in her bed. "Alright." She smiled to herself. "I have to get going. I got some sleep to catch up on."
Without much more of a goodnight Bulma was gone. Juuhachi-gou was proud of her work that night. She was almost sure that things were going to start looking up for Bulma. The blonde hung up the phone and looked up to the heaven, well...at least things better start looking up...
