Chapter 3 : Breathing
^*^
. . .
I WON'T SPEAK TO HIM MY WHOLE LIFE!!! Well, at least that part of the life until he apologized. But knowing him I should probably wait for 3-4 lives if not for more. And maybe I'll never hear one simple sorry. Cause he's such a jackass! And that was *so* embarrassing!!! How could he do that?! And then he has the guts to say it was only to make Nail go away! Okay, that's a bit disturbing. Some part of me wants him to like me. You know, actually *like* me. But that would mean he's a gay. And I don't want him to be. Maybe I don't know what I want. Wait! I know! If he's a bi, then everything's fine!!! Cool!
I'm such a morron!...
So, I'm not really angry with him, but my skull's a little too thick to tell him. I'll wait for an apology and that's final. Then I may consider whether to forgive him. Roast, Veggie!!! Anyway, I took a porno magazine from Yamcha (keep a note: not proper for husband) and decided to learn how to be a boy. Yeah... I think I haven't even had my erection and I'm a boy for hm...4 days? Not that it matters so much, but still, I thought boys were horny at that age. So let's try this out. I lay on my stomach on the bed and stared at the magazine. Ugh...eeeww...That's HUGE! How can this woman sleep, if I had such breasts I wouldn't probably be able to sleep properly. Uuh, wrong way of thinking, Bulma girl...boy, the woman was beautiful anyway but I just can't think like a boy. And Yamcha was enjoying watching these! And that was supposed to be my future husband. Ewww! I'd rather marry that jerk Vegeta!...
Speaking of him that was the moment when he entered and saw me staring at a porno magazine. Well, as if I care. I don't speak to him anyway! He came to me silently not bothering to tell an apology probably, so I didn't pay attention. Then he stated leaning over me so he could see. " I didn't know you liked reading those."
"I don't!!!" Wait... "I mean..., I don't talk to you! Pervert." Way to go. If I was gonna be mad at least he had to know that I was. He chuckled. The nerve of that guy! He made me wanna rip his limbs apart and then EAT THEM!!! AAAAARG!
"I see." was his only reply. How could he be so calm, and what the heck costs him to say one sorry?!? I hate him! He proceeded with the standard procedure that was sitting on his bed and staring at me. What was he trying to do actually? Finally I couldn't take it anymore and went out to return the magazine to Yammi-chan the hentai reader.
. . .
It was already evening and I just had my dinner, at least they cook good here, so I headed to my room with my new acquisition - a plant, india- rubber plant to be correct. It wasn't much but it was *something*. That would surely make the room cosier. And maybe if Vegeta quits throwing his socks on the floor it would look like a proper room. I was just about to open the door when my roommate stormed out of it and down the staircase. What has gotten into him?! So anyway I went inside and put the plant near the terrace (did I tell you we had one?) so the light could fall on it through the day. I think these plants liked light. And it would be good if I didn't forget to water it. Right, I should make some kind of schedule. Why not begin now? I took a pencil and a paper and started thinking. Hmmm, i/ water the plant every monday, wednesday and friday. That's it for now. I sticked it on the door so I wouldn't forget about it and slumped in my bed. As I saw through the window it had started raining. And where did Veggie go in such a weather?!
As if to answer my question he came back into the room soaking wet. He had been out, that's for sure! So he made these swamps on the floor, at least he bothered to take off his shoes at the door. Jerk. I continued glaring and I wanted to ask him 'What the heck?!!!' so much. But I didn't talk to him. Crap. I think I was punishing myself. If only I wasn't so curious. I narrowed my eyes hoping he would notice and watched him taking out something and then removing his shirt. What caught my attention was the thing. A book. MY book. Uhh, now he got me confused.
"What the heck?..." I finally asked and he aknowledged my existence with a glance. Thank you almighty!!! But really...
"It's your book." he said. As if I didn't know that already...
"I can see that." I snapped at him. Was he dumb? "I wonder what *you* have to do with it." He looked at me again while taking off his pants. Gah, does he HAVE to do it in front of me?!? I turned my gaze to the other side playing with my covers until he put something else on his naked body. Which happened to be only his black boxers. I just *know* he does this on purpose. So I tried concentrating on his eyes waiting for an answer. Come oooon, Veggie, feed my curiosity!!! He was deffinitely taking his time, maybe he knew how curious I was, I'm sure he knew!
"I was reading it this afternoon when you dragged me in the building again and I forgot it on the tree. So I saw it was raining and I went there to take it before it could get wet. That's it." Wow, it was actually an explanation! I can't believe he answered me! Okay, maybe I'm overeacting, but if you knew what he was like, you'd understand. He didn't even care if the others were eating themselves out of curiosity so I wasn't really expecting him to tell me anything!... Wait... He went out for my book?!? He got all wet for a book?
"Awww, Veggie, you saved my book!" he got this glazed look O_o when I threw myself at him and just before I could hug him properly I tripped. Okay, who *put* this sack over there? (A/N, you know, Veggie's sack) So it wasn't exactly a hug, as I meant it to be, I bumped my face in his stomach muscles (Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurt!) and wrapped my arms around his waist to keep myself steady. He didn't even move. At least he could help me get up, this morron. He just kept his hands where they were not inteding on helping me so I helped myself, sorta. I placed my palms on his chest while I 'climbed' on him to get up. I saw him clenching his fists. Eheheh, guess I'm too clumsy. ESPECIALLY when SOME people put their sacks in the middle of the room!!! He can't blame *me* this time! Not that he blamed me about anything. Eh, I'm the only one blaming him about everything and now he saves my book. How sweet.
"You're playing on dangerous grounds." he said lowly and took my palms into his hands then kissed the left one. After that he let them go and threw himself on his bed with the book. Then he added. "And I didn't 'save' your book. I just want to read it to the end. So don't bother thanking me." Ugh, he just *has* to be rude. I glared some more before interrupting his reading.
"Anyway, I forgive you." how noble of me to forgive that jerk his sins towards me. But he didn't seem to care.
"Okay, I forgive you too." he said absent-mindedly while turning the next page. Huh?!?
"What for?!" Now, if you still don't think he's one arrogant pompous ass here's the proof!
"The accident in the tennis court." he answered again not looking at me. He was much more interested in the book. But I guess he was right. I never stopped to think about this. It must have really hurt and I didn't even said a sorry. This time I was wrong. But only *this* time, okay? And what did he mean by 'dangerous grounds'? The only dangerous place here is the floor cause there's so much water you could drown yourself! And guess who's gonna clear it up!...
. . .
A week passed by like this, mainly teasing each other to see where we could bring the other to. And I'm still alive... Go me! It was Friday and we didn't have classes today, except for Geography. This was the day when we had our practicum in Tora. Soon I learnt that it wasn't a town, but a Volcano island. The good thing was it was an extinct volcano. We were to take rocks and maybe some plants. Cool, I could bring another plant with me after that. Of course my india-rubber plant didn't go unnoticed and I received the usual amount of mockng about it. Then my roommate received his pillow on his stupid head. I just had my breakfast and I was *mad*. Vegeta wasn't there to hear it but I was. And do you know *what* I heard? You'll never guess. I heard that I was a gay. Everybody thought that because we were always hanging together, because Nail had a big mouth and told about the neck thing and so on. They got *prooves*. Now, Vegeta was gonna get it.
I kicked the door open and shouted the best I could. "VEGETAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" I kicked the door closed and stepped at him ready to pick a quarrel. He quickly got out of bed and looked at me curiously. "What?"
"And you even ask!!!" I stepped at him again with my fists trembling from anger and I was just about to shout something else when I tripped. Again. This fucking sack was driving me crazy!!!!! I fell on Vegeta just like the previous time but this time he lost balance and fell in the sitting position on the floor with me in his arms. I wasn't hurt but he might be. Anyway that wasn't on my mind just then. I was sitting in his lap with him between my legs and I didn't notice when, but he had his arms locked around my waist. He was staring at me rather amused. I tried to stop blushing and get up from him but he didn't let go. Anyway, that didn't stop me from shouting at him.
"Why don't you hide this sack somewhere already?! I'm sick of tripping on it!" I yelled and he winced. Yeah, jerk, if you wanna hold me you have to bear my voice. I expected him to yell too but he only chuckled and pushed my body to his so my head was laying on his shoulder.
"I think I'll keep it there. You don't fall very often in my arms." This time he laughed fully and I felt his body rocking from laughter. Yeah, he was mocking me! I managed to break his 'hug' and grabbed his collar. "Don't try to change the topic, *buddy*!" I hissed then started shaking him violently by the collar and screaming at the same time.
"Because of you they think I'm a gay!!! Beg for your life!!!"
He grasped my hands without difficulty and pinned me to the floor, this time he was on top. I wonder how he does that. He's too strong. It's just not fair! He stared at me probably fighting back some thought then got up and broke into a grin. "Welcome to the club!"
"It's not funny." I muttered but I simply couldn't be mad at him. Ah, whatever, I didn't plan on staying here too long anyway. So why do I care what the others think? In fact I *was* a gay, sorta. I was interested in men. Try figure. So I let it be and prepared my luggage. We were going to stay one day and go back on Saturday. In fact I was very grateful about this 'vacation'. I was sick from school. Before that I only had private lessons and this was new for me. I put the jar with the pills in my jacket so I could get it any time I had to. I also got some money (I intended on buying another book) and some clothes for change. I stuffed this into my rucksack. And so, I was ready to go. The bus was already waiting. After the bus we were going to get on a ship. Tora was some kind of a resort, but now we were going to be the only visitors there. People preferred going there in the summer. They just didn't know what they were missing.
...
After we traveled for what seemed like forever we were finally there. Oh, it can't be. I could feel the steady ground uder my feet. If you could call an island steady. I had the tendency to travel hardly, I was sick and I hardly stopped myself from vomitting. Through the whole trip Vegeta was sleeping dead to the world. He was one lucky guy. In fact I had a hard time waking him up so we could get on the ship. But everything was fine now and we settled in our hotel. Of course I was with Veggie cause no one else wanted to. But soon it occured that we had to be four in a room and Goku and Yamcha came with us. They didn't seem to mind this much though. Yamcha had his magazines with himself. They were as nasty as the previous. By this time everyone was talking about the practicum and the girls. I think these boys just didn't see girls very often. They get excited seeing ANYTHING in a skirt. Poor guys...
Soon we went out after we had our refreshment and headed to the volcano. I though it would be deserted but we could see all kind of bars, restaurants, discos and other hotels. So you see, the island wasn't a small one. There were of course other people but it wasn't crowded. I saw there were hot springs here and there and thought of trying one later. Just after the stupid practicum. Oh, yeah, I got some kind of palm with its roots and stuffed it into the plastic jar I had taken with that purpose. Now I only had to take some rocks and I was finished. That was when I heard a whisper among the boys and found out the girls were coming from the other direction. Oh, cool, all of them seemed like giggling idiots (both the boys and the girls). Vegeta made it to me and said "See what happens when we talk about hormones." He chuckled and again hid in the crowd so I couldn't see him anymore. I looked for Yamcha. He was already flirting. And he supposedly knew about our engagement. That is he knew he was getting married some time in the future but he showed no interest at that fact right now.
Oh, great, a blue-haired dolly comes to me. "Hey there, handsome. My name's Marron!" I heard her saying in a high-pitched tone that made me wince. "Uh, hi. And goodbye." I quickly said running away. Was I THAT pretty?! I searched for Vegeta but couldn't see him anywhere. More girls tried to make a conversation with me but I was so terrified by them I didn't even stop to look at them. Maybe not everyone was as bad as the evil Marron but I didn't have time to check. God, and this was supposed to be a practicum lesson! What could I say?!? I was practically speechless. As I saw Marron had come to Yamcha and he had accepted without any doubts. Guess he would be thankful to whatever fell from the sky. Gee... Goku was talking to a pretty dark-haired girl. Only the geeks such as myself were trying to stick to the lessons. I bent and took a rock that had nearly tripped me. "This is what you get for trying, evil rock! Now I'm gonna do experiments with you and it.will.HURT!!! Muahahahahaha!" Okay, I got a little carried away with it. But that's what happens when there's no one to talk to. Did Vegeta also feel so before I came here?
Suddenly I heard a whistle and looked up. Sitting on a branch, hidden for the human kind, was my roommate. I nodded my head and climbed a bit clumsily but managed. I left my things on the ground. The others were too into hitting to the other sex to try and steal my work. That was one of the times when I was glad I was a boy. As far as I remember this week my PMS had to come but I think I'll skip that part. Cool, cool, cool!!!
"I see you got to know Marron." Vegeta said with a very amused tone. Yeah, yeah, laugh while you can. You wouldn't laugh if it was you in my shoes. Hmpf. "You know her too?" I asked just to avoid the uncomfortable subject. I didn't really want to explain why I wasn't attracted to women. I shifted from my place. It was a bit uncomfortable to sit on a branch. I think Veggie got the better one. He was sitting freely without showing any hint of being uneasy. Right, he got more training being a boy than me. I guess he's used to stuff like this.
"Last year I met her. But she's not worth my time." he replied again staring at me and my poor attempts to get a better position. Gah, couldn't he be more discreet? Or at least offer an option... I finally gave up the struggles and sat with the branch between my legs. That'll do for a while.
"What do you mean 'not worth your time'?" I decided to talk on this topic a little more. "She's pretty and all. Or are you too good for the girls?" I added slyly. Okay, it wasn't *me* to decide that but I couldn't sustain the temptation to know what kind of girls he liked. Uhhh, talking about girls...when was the last time I got a pill?... Oh, it was in the hotel, right. I think I'm too nervous about it all. But I'm always nervous around Vegeta. He always gives me that look, as if he knows everything about me. Maybe I should tell him. It wouldn't be a big deal, right?
"You could say I'm not interested in girls anymore." he stated calmly looking in the sky. Better not tell him. He'll be mad at me for lying to him in the first place. And then, he may not like me anymore. As much as I wanted to tell him...I couldn't risk.
I think I should change the pose already. It started hurting. And to be honest I wanted to use the 'room'.
"Uhm, Vegeta, I got to pee. Sorry I can't stay longer." I said and climbed down the tree. I heard his reply from above. "Now that you say it, me too." And then he jumped. And you would never guess where. On my plant. He jumped on my poor palm. I felt my eye twitching. And I was so careful to take it with the roots. And all I got was: "Was that your plant? Guess you should take another one." He didn't even apologise!!! This jerk! He even laughed then ruffled my hair. Oh, no, mister, you won't get away with *this*!!!
"That was my plant, you asshole! You bet-" and I was just about to read a lecture when I saw no one was in front of me. "Hey! Wait!" I spot him on his way to the restroom and I followed. I could deal with him later. Now I got more urgent business to do. Do you know what is the bad thing about restrooms? All the men are next to each other and I had to do my 'job' in something that resembled a sink. I really preferred the old W.C. I used as a girl. Trying to pee with other guys in the same room was simply embarrassing. And through all those years have you wondered what boys talked about when pissing? They were discussing the chicks. That made me sick. But right now I didn't want to think about it. I got there and unzipped my pants then solemnly took out the 'thing'. I was still not very used with this. Right next to me was Veggie doing his thing cool as a cucumber. Then he threw me a glance.
"You don't need to be so scared. It's attached to your body afterall. It won't fall." It was my turn to throw him a dirty glare. As if I needed his smart-ass comments.
"You shut up! And quit staring at my penis." I snapped angrily. I knew he didn't stare but why not tease him? He laughed as if I have said a big joke.
"Why should I? Mine is better than yours anyways."
"Yeah?" I said not caring while zipping my pants again. I sighed in relief. At least I was done with this already and I hoped I wouldn't come back in a rest room for the rest of my life.
"Yeah, you wanna check?" he replied in the same tone while washing his hands. I've got to give him a point about that. Not many guys wash their hands after visiting the bathroom. Don't ask me why. They're simply unhygienic pigs. And to confirm my thoughts some guys exited the restroom without any attention to the sinks. And they were going to handshake after that and touch so many things. It was disgusting. I finally realised I was asked a question and remembered what it was. I felt my face become red. Sometimes I wish I could control this. Like my roommate. He never blushed.
"Uhh, no thanks." I said quickly avoiding his eyes and went out (after washing my hands too). Now what? My plant was destroyed by that elephant and I was too bored to do whatever I had to. I realised we weren't in groups like when we came. Now everyone was flirting as if their life depended on taking someone in their beds tonight. Well, it *was* a horny age. It wasn't their fault I was frigid. Hey, it wasn't *my* fault either! I was kinda attracted to a weirdo and I couldn't even tell him. That thing can only happen to me. I felt the subject of my thoughts behind me. I told you he was easily detectable because of the immense heat he was emitting from his body. Did he know that? Maybe I should tell him to cool down a bit. I turned to face him and saw him watching something in the nearby wood.
"You wanna see the graveyard?" he asked still dazed out and started walking towards the wood. Huh?! I couldn't see anything! How did he know there was a graveyard? Oh, right, he had come here before. But why the heck watching a graveyard? I didn't find it so amusing. Anyway I followed since I didn't have anything to do.
Wow. Simply...wow. You've never seen such a sight. When I die I want to be buried here. It was enchanting, like those woods in the fairytales. I've never even dreamed there was such a place in the world. And it was a graveyard. It was an old one nevertheless. The gravestones were almost antique, well, not really, but they were falling apart because of the dampness. There were some memorials as well. And this with the combination of pure wood gave the whole impression of charm. Now I see why he wanted to come here. But whose idea was to make a graveyard on a volcano island?! I saw Vegeta sitting leaning on a weeping willow. Uh, wait a minute? How could palms and willows grow on the same land? Unless my 'palm' was a simple weed. Oh, man... And I though I did a nice job. Guess Veggie did me a favour then. I spotted a memorial in front me and read it. It said: " To our dear Catherine...died in the age of 16... never had the chance to taste the joys of life..." Some parts were wiped out and I couldn't read them but it was enough to make me think for a moment. I was 16 as well and was still alive. Why was I making my life difficult? If I die tomorrow maybe my memorial will read the same thing... never had the chance to taste the joys of life... How sad. From this moment I decided to keep my life for myself.
"Hey, Veg?" he bared his teeth at me. I guess he doesn't like this nickname... I've got to use it more often. Heheh. I pointed at the memorial. "You see that?" He nodded his head and closed his eyes.
"Do you think I could be her reincarnation? Of this girl..." I heard him chuckle.
"That would explain some things." Now, what was that supposed to mean? I went to him slowly. "Hey, Veg, mind if I sit?" He growled again.
"Do what you want, I don't care." he said still with closed eyes. He was slowly drifting off to the charm of this place. And I wanted to join in. "Okay!" I yelled happily and he winced hearing my voice but didn't drop his usual sarcastic remark about it. He opened his eyes and watched me suspiciously stalking around as if I searched for a proper place. I saw him putting his arms behind his head as if intending to sleep. And indeed he closed his eyes again after that. His legs were folded next to his body.
I made up my mind. Vegeta nearly jumped when I slumped between his legs and put my head on his firm stomach. It wasn't actually like a pillow but it was still soft, kinda. I felt him wince. Was he cold? Well, *I* deffinitely wasn't. I sighed dreamily and shifted a little to make myself more comfortable. After this action his heart beat quickened but he didn't say anything. I just listened to his heart and breathing. Only God knows what I was doing to him but I didn't mind him liking me. I wanted it that way. I closed my eyes and soon felt his hand in my hair. It was so peaceful...
"You're so warm..." was the last thing I said and then we stayed like that in our half-asleeped state not saying anything... Just breathing.

A/N Boys really talk about chicks in the rest rooms. I've been there under cover. A boy let me in and I hid. So, believe me. And it's also true they never wash their hands. So, be careful when you handshake!
Okay, I got some nice questions in your reviews which I would like to answer.
1) Why is Bulma acting like a girl when she's officially a boy (has taken a pill)? It's because the pill's effect is only to make her SEEM like a boy, you know the lack of breasts and the other thing. But that does NOT change her thinking. And her voice becomes one high-pitched voice...just kiddin. It stays feminine but sounds more boyish.
2) I didn't say that Vegeta has to taste the pill and already know what it consists (that's impossible). He just tasted it because he's a lunatic and intends on taking another for a lab analisys.
3) Vegeta is NOT gay. (for now :P)
4) I don't intend on writing in other POV's different from those of B-chan and Veggie's. So don't worry.
5) Sorry if I don't update frequently. It's not because I don't love you ;P I have some problems at home, my parents think I spend too much time in front of the computer, so you see. And I write extremely slowly, kinda 1 passage for 10 minutes. Gomen ne!
6) Yes, I'm from Europe, is it that obvious?! I know I make mistakes, but I usually write late in the nights, so you see.
7) How I came up with the idea? Every girl had dreams of being a boy, right? :D
8) You can ask if something else bothers you (except for my babbling)
9) Uhm, those who dislike dirty talks please turn eyes away. I got a question whether Bulma gets an erection in heated situations with Vegeta. Well, no. Cause she's not familiar with boy's psychic and therefore doesn't have their reactions to particular situations. But Veggie does. I just don't think I need to write about it every time it happens. But that's the reason he's not sure he's straight anymore.
10) And 'Catcher in the Rye' is indeed an awesome book. (I know that wasn't a question -.-``) I hope that was all. V
Disclaimer Uuhh, I don't own DBZ so don't sue me. (Who's idea was the disclaimer?!? Can anyone tell me?)

Chapter 3 : Breathing
^*^
. . .
I WON'T SPEAK TO HIM MY WHOLE LIFE!!! Well, at least that part of the life until he apologized. But knowing him I should probably wait for 3-4 lives if not for more. And maybe I'll never hear one simple sorry. Cause he's such a jackass! And that was *so* embarrassing!!! How could he do that?! And then he has the guts to say it was only to make Nail go away! Okay, that's a bit disturbing. Some part of me wants him to like me. You know, actually *like* me. But that would mean he's a gay. And I don't want him to be. Maybe I don't know what I want. Wait! I know! If he's a bi, then everything's fine!!! Cool!
I'm such a morron!...
So, I'm not really angry with him, but my skull's a little too thick to tell him. I'll wait for an apology and that's final. Then I may consider whether to forgive him. Roast, Veggie!!! Anyway, I took a porno magazine from Yamcha (keep a note: not proper for husband) and decided to learn how to be a boy. Yeah... I think I haven't even had my erection and I'm a boy for hm...4 days? Not that it matters so much, but still, I thought boys were horny at that age. So let's try this out. I lay on my stomach on the bed and stared at the magazine. Ugh...eeeww...That's HUGE! How can this woman sleep, if I had such breasts I wouldn't probably be able to sleep properly. Uuh, wrong way of thinking, Bulma girl...boy, the woman was beautiful anyway but I just can't think like a boy. And Yamcha was enjoying watching these! And that was supposed to be my future husband. Ewww! I'd rather marry that jerk Vegeta!...
Speaking of him that was the moment when he entered and saw me staring at a porno magazine. Well, as if I care. I don't speak to him anyway! He came to me silently not bothering to tell an apology probably, so I didn't pay attention. Then he stated leaning over me so he could see. " I didn't know you liked reading those."
"I don't!!!" Wait... "I mean..., I don't talk to you! Pervert." Way to go. If I was gonna be mad at least he had to know that I was. He chuckled. The nerve of that guy! He made me wanna rip his limbs apart and then EAT THEM!!! AAAAARG!
"I see." was his only reply. How could he be so calm, and what the heck costs him to say one sorry?!? I hate him! He proceeded with the standard procedure that was sitting on his bed and staring at me. What was he trying to do actually? Finally I couldn't take it anymore and went out to return the magazine to Yammi-chan the hentai reader.
. . .
It was already evening and I just had my dinner, at least they cook good here, so I headed to my room with my new acquisition - a plant, india- rubber plant to be correct. It wasn't much but it was *something*. That would surely make the room cosier. And maybe if Vegeta quits throwing his socks on the floor it would look like a proper room. I was just about to open the door when my roommate stormed out of it and down the staircase. What has gotten into him?! So anyway I went inside and put the plant near the terrace (did I tell you we had one?) so the light could fall on it through the day. I think these plants liked light. And it would be good if I didn't forget to water it. Right, I should make some kind of schedule. Why not begin now? I took a pencil and a paper and started thinking. Hmmm, i/ water the plant every monday, wednesday and friday. That's it for now. I sticked it on the door so I wouldn't forget about it and slumped in my bed. As I saw through the window it had started raining. And where did Veggie go in such a weather?!
As if to answer my question he came back into the room soaking wet. He had been out, that's for sure! So he made these swamps on the floor, at least he bothered to take off his shoes at the door. Jerk. I continued glaring and I wanted to ask him 'What the heck?!!!' so much. But I didn't talk to him. Crap. I think I was punishing myself. If only I wasn't so curious. I narrowed my eyes hoping he would notice and watched him taking out something and then removing his shirt. What caught my attention was the thing. A book. MY book. Uhh, now he got me confused.
"What the heck?..." I finally asked and he aknowledged my existence with a glance. Thank you almighty!!! But really...
"It's your book." he said. As if I didn't know that already...
"I can see that." I snapped at him. Was he dumb? "I wonder what *you* have to do with it." He looked at me again while taking off his pants. Gah, does he HAVE to do it in front of me?!? I turned my gaze to the other side playing with my covers until he put something else on his naked body. Which happened to be only his black boxers. I just *know* he does this on purpose. So I tried concentrating on his eyes waiting for an answer. Come oooon, Veggie, feed my curiosity!!! He was deffinitely taking his time, maybe he knew how curious I was, I'm sure he knew!
"I was reading it this afternoon when you dragged me in the building again and I forgot it on the tree. So I saw it was raining and I went there to take it before it could get wet. That's it." Wow, it was actually an explanation! I can't believe he answered me! Okay, maybe I'm overeacting, but if you knew what he was like, you'd understand. He didn't even care if the others were eating themselves out of curiosity so I wasn't really expecting him to tell me anything!... Wait... He went out for my book?!? He got all wet for a book?
"Awww, Veggie, you saved my book!" he got this glazed look O_o when I threw myself at him and just before I could hug him properly I tripped. Okay, who *put* this sack over there? (A/N, you know, Veggie's sack) So it wasn't exactly a hug, as I meant it to be, I bumped my face in his stomach muscles (Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurt!) and wrapped my arms around his waist to keep myself steady. He didn't even move. At least he could help me get up, this morron. He just kept his hands where they were not inteding on helping me so I helped myself, sorta. I placed my palms on his chest while I 'climbed' on him to get up. I saw him clenching his fists. Eheheh, guess I'm too clumsy. ESPECIALLY when SOME people put their sacks in the middle of the room!!! He can't blame *me* this time! Not that he blamed me about anything. Eh, I'm the only one blaming him about everything and now he saves my book. How sweet.
"You're playing on dangerous grounds." he said lowly and took my palms into his hands then kissed the left one. After that he let them go and threw himself on his bed with the book. Then he added. "And I didn't 'save' your book. I just want to read it to the end. So don't bother thanking me." Ugh, he just *has* to be rude. I glared some more before interrupting his reading.
"Anyway, I forgive you." how noble of me to forgive that jerk his sins towards me. But he didn't seem to care.
"Okay, I forgive you too." he said absent-mindedly while turning the next page. Huh?!?
"What for?!" Now, if you still don't think he's one arrogant pompous ass here's the proof!
"The accident in the tennis court." he answered again not looking at me. He was much more interested in the book. But I guess he was right. I never stopped to think about this. It must have really hurt and I didn't even said a sorry. This time I was wrong. But only *this* time, okay? And what did he mean by 'dangerous grounds'? The only dangerous place here is the floor cause there's so much water you could drown yourself! And guess who's gonna clear it up!...
. . .
A week passed by like this, mainly teasing each other to see where we could bring the other to. And I'm still alive... Go me! It was Friday and we didn't have classes today, except for Geography. This was the day when we had our practicum in Tora. Soon I learnt that it wasn't a town, but a Volcano island. The good thing was it was an extinct volcano. We were to take rocks and maybe some plants. Cool, I could bring another plant with me after that. Of course my india-rubber plant didn't go unnoticed and I received the usual amount of mockng about it. Then my roommate received his pillow on his stupid head. I just had my breakfast and I was *mad*. Vegeta wasn't there to hear it but I was. And do you know *what* I heard? You'll never guess. I heard that I was a gay. Everybody thought that because we were always hanging together, because Nail had a big mouth and told about the neck thing and so on. They got *prooves*. Now, Vegeta was gonna get it.
I kicked the door open and shouted the best I could. "VEGETAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" I kicked the door closed and stepped at him ready to pick a quarrel. He quickly got out of bed and looked at me curiously. "What?"
"And you even ask!!!" I stepped at him again with my fists trembling from anger and I was just about to shout something else when I tripped. Again. This fucking sack was driving me crazy!!!!! I fell on Vegeta just like the previous time but this time he lost balance and fell in the sitting position on the floor with me in his arms. I wasn't hurt but he might be. Anyway that wasn't on my mind just then. I was sitting in his lap with him between my legs and I didn't notice when, but he had his arms locked around my waist. He was staring at me rather amused. I tried to stop blushing and get up from him but he didn't let go. Anyway, that didn't stop me from shouting at him.
"Why don't you hide this sack somewhere already?! I'm sick of tripping on it!" I yelled and he winced. Yeah, jerk, if you wanna hold me you have to bear my voice. I expected him to yell too but he only chuckled and pushed my body to his so my head was laying on his shoulder.
"I think I'll keep it there. You don't fall very often in my arms." This time he laughed fully and I felt his body rocking from laughter. Yeah, he was mocking me! I managed to break his 'hug' and grabbed his collar. "Don't try to change the topic, *buddy*!" I hissed then started shaking him violently by the collar and screaming at the same time.
"Because of you they think I'm a gay!!! Beg for your life!!!"
He grasped my hands without difficulty and pinned me to the floor, this time he was on top. I wonder how he does that. He's too strong. It's just not fair! He stared at me probably fighting back some thought then got up and broke into a grin. "Welcome to the club!"
"It's not funny." I muttered but I simply couldn't be mad at him. Ah, whatever, I didn't plan on staying here too long anyway. So why do I care what the others think? In fact I *was* a gay, sorta. I was interested in men. Try figure. So I let it be and prepared my luggage. We were going to stay one day and go back on Saturday. In fact I was very grateful about this 'vacation'. I was sick from school. Before that I only had private lessons and this was new for me. I put the jar with the pills in my jacket so I could get it any time I had to. I also got some money (I intended on buying another book) and some clothes for change. I stuffed this into my rucksack. And so, I was ready to go. The bus was already waiting. After the bus we were going to get on a ship. Tora was some kind of a resort, but now we were going to be the only visitors there. People preferred going there in the summer. They just didn't know what they were missing.
...
After we traveled for what seemed like forever we were finally there. Oh, it can't be. I could feel the steady ground uder my feet. If you could call an island steady. I had the tendency to travel hardly, I was sick and I hardly stopped myself from vomitting. Through the whole trip Vegeta was sleeping dead to the world. He was one lucky guy. In fact I had a hard time waking him up so we could get on the ship. But everything was fine now and we settled in our hotel. Of course I was with Veggie cause no one else wanted to. But soon it occured that we had to be four in a room and Goku and Yamcha came with us. They didn't seem to mind this much though. Yamcha had his magazines with himself. They were as nasty as the previous. By this time everyone was talking about the practicum and the girls. I think these boys just didn't see girls very often. They get excited seeing ANYTHING in a skirt. Poor guys...
Soon we went out after we had our refreshment and headed to the volcano. I though it would be deserted but we could see all kind of bars, restaurants, discos and other hotels. So you see, the island wasn't a small one. There were of course other people but it wasn't crowded. I saw there were hot springs here and there and thought of trying one later. Just after the stupid practicum. Oh, yeah, I got some kind of palm with its roots and stuffed it into the plastic jar I had taken with that purpose. Now I only had to take some rocks and I was finished. That was when I heard a whisper among the boys and found out the girls were coming from the other direction. Oh, cool, all of them seemed like giggling idiots (both the boys and the girls). Vegeta made it to me and said "See what happens when we talk about hormones." He chuckled and again hid in the crowd so I couldn't see him anymore. I looked for Yamcha. He was already flirting. And he supposedly knew about our engagement. That is he knew he was getting married some time in the future but he showed no interest at that fact right now.
Oh, great, a blue-haired dolly comes to me. "Hey there, handsome. My name's Marron!" I heard her saying in a high-pitched tone that made me wince. "Uh, hi. And goodbye." I quickly said running away. Was I THAT pretty?! I searched for Vegeta but couldn't see him anywhere. More girls tried to make a conversation with me but I was so terrified by them I didn't even stop to look at them. Maybe not everyone was as bad as the evil Marron but I didn't have time to check. God, and this was supposed to be a practicum lesson! What could I say?!? I was practically speechless. As I saw Marron had come to Yamcha and he had accepted without any doubts. Guess he would be thankful to whatever fell from the sky. Gee... Goku was talking to a pretty dark-haired girl. Only the geeks such as myself were trying to stick to the lessons. I bent and took a rock that had nearly tripped me. "This is what you get for trying, evil rock! Now I'm gonna do experiments with you and it.will.HURT!!! Muahahahahaha!" Okay, I got a little carried away with it. But that's what happens when there's no one to talk to. Did Vegeta also feel so before I came here?
Suddenly I heard a whistle and looked up. Sitting on a branch, hidden for the human kind, was my roommate. I nodded my head and climbed a bit clumsily but managed. I left my things on the ground. The others were too into hitting to the other sex to try and steal my work. That was one of the times when I was glad I was a boy. As far as I remember this week my PMS had to come but I think I'll skip that part. Cool, cool, cool!!!
"I see you got to know Marron." Vegeta said with a very amused tone. Yeah, yeah, laugh while you can. You wouldn't laugh if it was you in my shoes. Hmpf. "You know her too?" I asked just to avoid the uncomfortable subject. I didn't really want to explain why I wasn't attracted to women. I shifted from my place. It was a bit uncomfortable to sit on a branch. I think Veggie got the better one. He was sitting freely without showing any hint of being uneasy. Right, he got more training being a boy than me. I guess he's used to stuff like this.
"Last year I met her. But she's not worth my time." he replied again staring at me and my poor attempts to get a better position. Gah, couldn't he be more discreet? Or at least offer an option... I finally gave up the struggles and sat with the branch between my legs. That'll do for a while.
"What do you mean 'not worth your time'?" I decided to talk on this topic a little more. "She's pretty and all. Or are you too good for the girls?" I added slyly. Okay, it wasn't *me* to decide that but I couldn't sustain the temptation to know what kind of girls he liked. Uhhh, talking about girls...when was the last time I got a pill?... Oh, it was in the hotel, right. I think I'm too nervous about it all. But I'm always nervous around Vegeta. He always gives me that look, as if he knows everything about me. Maybe I should tell him. It wouldn't be a big deal, right?
"You could say I'm not interested in girls anymore." he stated calmly looking in the sky. Better not tell him. He'll be mad at me for lying to him in the first place. And then, he may not like me anymore. As much as I wanted to tell him...I couldn't risk.
I think I should change the pose already. It started hurting. And to be honest I wanted to use the 'room'.
"Uhm, Vegeta, I got to pee. Sorry I can't stay longer." I said and climbed down the tree. I heard his reply from above. "Now that you say it, me too." And then he jumped. And you would never guess where. On my plant. He jumped on my poor palm. I felt my eye twitching. And I was so careful to take it with the roots. And all I got was: "Was that your plant? Guess you should take another one." He didn't even apologise!!! This jerk! He even laughed then ruffled my hair. Oh, no, mister, you won't get away with *this*!!!
"That was my plant, you asshole! You bet-" and I was just about to read a lecture when I saw no one was in front of me. "Hey! Wait!" I spot him on his way to the restroom and I followed. I could deal with him later. Now I got more urgent business to do. Do you know what is the bad thing about restrooms? All the men are next to each other and I had to do my 'job' in something that resembled a sink. I really preferred the old W.C. I used as a girl. Trying to pee with other guys in the same room was simply embarrassing. And through all those years have you wondered what boys talked about when pissing? They were discussing the chicks. That made me sick. But right now I didn't want to think about it. I got there and unzipped my pants then solemnly took out the 'thing'. I was still not very used with this. Right next to me was Veggie doing his thing cool as a cucumber. Then he threw me a glance.
"You don't need to be so scared. It's attached to your body afterall. It won't fall." It was my turn to throw him a dirty glare. As if I needed his smart-ass comments.
"You shut up! And quit staring at my penis." I snapped angrily. I knew he didn't stare but why not tease him? He laughed as if I have said a big joke.
"Why should I? Mine is better than yours anyways."
"Yeah?" I said not caring while zipping my pants again. I sighed in relief. At least I was done with this already and I hoped I wouldn't come back in a rest room for the rest of my life.
"Yeah, you wanna check?" he replied in the same tone while washing his hands. I've got to give him a point about that. Not many guys wash their hands after visiting the bathroom. Don't ask me why. They're simply unhygienic pigs. And to confirm my thoughts some guys exited the restroom without any attention to the sinks. And they were going to handshake after that and touch so many things. It was disgusting. I finally realised I was asked a question and remembered what it was. I felt my face become red. Sometimes I wish I could control this. Like my roommate. He never blushed.
"Uhh, no thanks." I said quickly avoiding his eyes and went out (after washing my hands too). Now what? My plant was destroyed by that elephant and I was too bored to do whatever I had to. I realised we weren't in groups like when we came. Now everyone was flirting as if their life depended on taking someone in their beds tonight. Well, it *was* a horny age. It wasn't their fault I was frigid. Hey, it wasn't *my* fault either! I was kinda attracted to a weirdo and I couldn't even tell him. That thing can only happen to me. I felt the subject of my thoughts behind me. I told you he was easily detectable because of the immense heat he was emitting from his body. Did he know that? Maybe I should tell him to cool down a bit. I turned to face him and saw him watching something in the nearby wood.
"You wanna see the graveyard?" he asked still dazed out and started walking towards the wood. Huh?! I couldn't see anything! How did he know there was a graveyard? Oh, right, he had come here before. But why the heck watching a graveyard? I didn't find it so amusing. Anyway I followed since I didn't have anything to do.
Wow. Simply...wow. You've never seen such a sight. When I die I want to be buried here. It was enchanting, like those woods in the fairytales. I've never even dreamed there was such a place in the world. And it was a graveyard. It was an old one nevertheless. The gravestones were almost antique, well, not really, but they were falling apart because of the dampness. There were some memorials as well. And this with the combination of pure wood gave the whole impression of charm. Now I see why he wanted to come here. But whose idea was to make a graveyard on a volcano island?! I saw Vegeta sitting leaning on a weeping willow. Uh, wait a minute? How could palms and willows grow on the same land? Unless my 'palm' was a simple weed. Oh, man... And I though I did a nice job. Guess Veggie did me a favour then. I spotted a memorial in front me and read it. It said: " To our dear Catherine...died in the age of 16... never had the chance to taste the joys of life..." Some parts were wiped out and I couldn't read them but it was enough to make me think for a moment. I was 16 as well and was still alive. Why was I making my life difficult? If I die tomorrow maybe my memorial will read the same thing... never had the chance to taste the joys of life... How sad. From this moment I decided to keep my life for myself.
"Hey, Veg?" he bared his teeth at me. I guess he doesn't like this nickname... I've got to use it more often. Heheh. I pointed at the memorial. "You see that?" He nodded his head and closed his eyes.
"Do you think I could be her reincarnation? Of this girl..." I heard him chuckle.
"That would explain some things." Now, what was that supposed to mean? I went to him slowly. "Hey, Veg, mind if I sit?" He growled again.
"Do what you want, I don't care." he said still with closed eyes. He was slowly drifting off to the charm of this place. And I wanted to join in. "Okay!" I yelled happily and he winced hearing my voice but didn't drop his usual sarcastic remark about it. He opened his eyes and watched me suspiciously stalking around as if I searched for a proper place. I saw him putting his arms behind his head as if intending to sleep. And indeed he closed his eyes again after that. His legs were folded next to his body.
I made up my mind. Vegeta nearly jumped when I slumped between his legs and put my head on his firm stomach. It wasn't actually like a pillow but it was still soft, kinda. I felt him wince. Was he cold? Well, *I* deffinitely wasn't. I sighed dreamily and shifted a little to make myself more comfortable. After this action his heart beat quickened but he didn't say anything. I just listened to his heart and breathing. Only God knows what I was doing to him but I didn't mind him liking me. I wanted it that way. I closed my eyes and soon felt his hand in my hair. It was so peaceful...
"You're so warm..." was the last thing I said and then we stayed like that in our half-asleeped state not saying anything... Just breathing.

A/N Boys really talk about chicks in the rest rooms. I've been there under cover. A boy let me in and I hid. So, believe me. And it's also true they never wash their hands. So, be careful when you handshake!
Okay, I got some nice questions in your reviews which I would like to answer.
1) Why is Bulma acting like a girl when she's officially a boy (has taken a pill)? It's because the pill's effect is only to make her SEEM like a boy, you know the lack of breasts and the other thing. But that does NOT change her thinking. And her voice becomes one high-pitched voice...just kiddin. It stays feminine but sounds more boyish.
2) I didn't say that Vegeta has to taste the pill and already know what it consists (that's impossible). He just tasted it because he's a lunatic and intends on taking another for a lab analisys.
3) Vegeta is NOT gay. (for now :P)
4) I don't intend on writing in other POV's different from those of B-chan and Veggie's. So don't worry.
5) Sorry if I don't update frequently. It's not because I don't love you ;P I have some problems at home, my parents think I spend too much time in front of the computer, so you see. And I write extremely slowly, kinda 1 passage for 10 minutes. Gomen ne!
6) Yes, I'm from Europe, is it that obvious?! I know I make mistakes, but I usually write late in the nights, so you see.
7) How I came up with the idea? Every girl had dreams of being a boy, right? :D
8) You can ask if something else bothers you (except for my babbling)
9) Uhm, those who dislike dirty talks please turn eyes away. I got a question whether Bulma gets an erection in heated situations with Vegeta. Well, no. Cause she's not familiar with boy's psychic and therefore doesn't have their reactions to particular situations. But Veggie does. I just don't think I need to write about it every time it happens. But that's the reason he's not sure he's straight anymore.
10) And 'Catcher in the Rye' is indeed an awesome book. (I know that wasn't a question -.-``) I hope that was all. V
