Bulma groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Why the hell had she given in? Why couldn't she have held on a bit longer, she could have been dead, and then none of this would have happened! She growled, but it was caught in her throat when she noticed just exactly where she was. She was on Vegeta- sei; that much she was sure of. Looking beside her she nearly screamed, but she knew that in this tank, sound could not travel. Vegeta was asleep. Why he was in the tank with her she didn't know, but she wanted out, and now. She winced when she felt her arm tighten and protest when she lifted it, still broken. She knew she had a long ways to go before the healing was done and over with. Closing her eyes she tried to rest but found she couldn't sleep, something was nagging her at the back of her head?

Opening her eyes she looked around. A man, too blurry from the water, walked up to the tank. He hit some buttons and suddenly Their air masks were ripped away. Vegeta's eyes suddenly snapped open. His eyes met hers briefly before he punched the diamond hard surface, effectively breaking it. Water rushed out and with it Bulma and Vegeta. Vegeta quickly got to his feet and Bulma tried, but her feet just would not work properly. Growling her frustration she had to army crawl her way toward the other regeneration tank. She barely made it halfway across the room when a foot stepped hard onto her back, screaming in pain she cried out accidentally in her mind, 'VEGETA!' before passing out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vegeta heard the cry in his head and spun around, knocking the man out first and ran back towards Bulma. He made it just in time to watch her ship leave from the window. Even though Vegeta tried to follow, he found that all the pods were disrupted so he couldn't...

~~~~~~~

Bulma woke in agonizing pain. She couldn't move a muscle and when she did it hurt like hell, so she just stayed still. Gazing around the room her eyes landed on one person, a person hidden by the shadows.

"Bandit," Bulma growled, as she watched the scarred face man walked out from the shadows.

"B," Yamcha answered with a nod of his head, "So nice to see you remember me," Yamcha grinned wolfishly and sat down near Bulma on the bed, (A/N Bandit is Yamcha, hes an outlaw, and B is Bulma, she WAS an outlaw. And Yamcha is Yamcha's twin by the way, Confusing I know by to make a long story short, Yamcha's parents could never tell the two apart so they named them both Yamcha. One was good one was bad ^_^)

"How could I forget? You were the only one of my bounties that tired to rape me!" Bulma growled, and against better judgment sat up and pushed herself off the bed.

"Its not healthy for you to walk around yet," Yamcha said, shoving her roughly down on the bed and pinned her there.

"I have a mate!" she growled, panicking slightly,

"My weakling brother? Hes dead!" Yamcha growled and kissed her roughly. Bulma bit his arm, hard, dodging the kiss,

"No you ass, Ou-sama Vegeta!" She growled, Yamcha's eyes widened, then a smirk formed on his face, he continued to kiss her, ignoring the bits from Bulma.

'VEGETA HELP ME! PLEASE VEGETA! PLEASE ITS HIM! VEGETA!' Bulma cried out in her mind. Suddenly Yamcha hit her neck, hard, rendering her unconscious and smirked, 'that would have given her long enough to send a telepathic message to the Ou-sama,' Yamcha thought to himself, pulling himself off the weakened Bulma he picked up her limp form and carried her to the regeneration tank. He'd only been on the ship for a short while and already he had a plan formed. He grinned evilly, this would be fun...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'VEGETA HELP ME! PLEASE VEGETA! PLEASE ITS HIM! VEGETA!' Vegeta sat bolt upright in bed, he no longer could sleep as those nine words played over and over in his mind. He had heard her not a few hours earlier. Growling he stomped out of his room, still fully dressed, and demanded that a pod be readied. There was only one that hadn't been disrupted and it was Bulma's ship she had made when she had been here. It was still in the test stages, but Vegeta had no time left for that. He had heard the panic in Bulma's voice when she screamed out to him for help.

Vegeta growled and entered the two-man ship and turned it on, half expecting it to blow up or something. When it didn't, he headed toward where he felt Bulma's strong Ki...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Three days later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bulma woke up in the regeneration tank. Her eyes felt heavy and she felt strange, like something was invading her body, but in a good way... Looking around she noticed Yamcha glaring at a screen with Vegeta's face on it. Vegeta happened to look back and spot her. He growled a few oaths, she could hear in her mind, and glared at Yamcha before turning his gaze back to Bulma,

'Are you alright?' Vegeta asked in her mind,

'Somethings wrong, I can't seem to keep my eyes open...' Bulma's eyes, as if on cue, started fluttering open and close.

'That's just the Regeneration tank's sleeping module...' Vegeta said, shrugging it off.

'Its not that, I'm fully healed, its like something was invading my body...' Bulma trailed off as she fought for consciousness, but she was losing the battle really quickly.

'Wait, onna...that means...hold on...coming now...' Vegeta's mental voice was not heard though because Bulma was pulled into darkness, with a unknown evil lurking in the shadows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hiya! What could be forcing Bulma into just a dream like state? I'll tell you one thing, it just might be that last thing you expect! ::Evil grin:: and who is this unknown evil? ::Vegeta like smirk:: HAHAHA you'll just have to review, this is that last chapter until I get at least five reviews!
