Chapter 4: Noisy Neighbours and the Graveyard Calls Again
^*^*^
It was already dark, Bulma had fallen asleep in my lap and I was getting romantic. Ewww! That's not a sight, I tell you, me and romantic. In the next moment you'll see me sending flowers and a box of chocolates. That simply isn't my style. God, I need to get laid! I'm sure I'll get these stupid thoughts about the lavender head out of my mind after that. I just had to find some girl. Lucky me, there were lots of them here. So I shook him violently to wake him up and he looked dazed at me rubbing his eyes and saying something in the lines of 'huh?!' while remembering where he was. That's the first reaction of humans after they wake up. I noticed that the first thing they ask is 'where am I?' or like in Bulma's case 'huh?!' and if they don't remember what happened or find themselves in a place they don't know they usually start counting their limbs. Obviously Bulma remembered because the counting didn't happen. Or maybe he saw all of them were there. Or maybe I'm just cracking out. Nothing new.
"Hey, Veg, you could wake me more gently! It wouldn't do you any harm! I can't feel my brain from your shake!" Bulma started shouting. He does that a lot, one of these days I'm gonna shut it up, this mouth of his. I kicked him *gently* away from me and streched in front of his indignant eyes. Noticing his expression I snickered and threw in casually "There's no brain to feel, stupid!". Now he looked ready to kill but I didn't wait for his outburst as I ran away laughing evilly, I only picked up some of his screams: "I'm gonna find you and you'll regret it, you JEEEERK!!!" Oh, I was eager to see how exactly I was going to regret anything. When I left him long behind I stopped and felt like crying. I was alone again and it was my fault. I rejected the only soul that could speak to me without being scared as hell. And why, I couldn't tell. It was just my nature pissing people off for fun. What fun? But it was better if he hated me anyway. I think he grew too attached to me and that won't bring him any good. The troubles were floating around me.
I concentrated on my task - finding a girl. Soon I saw one sitting on a bench, she wasn't bad. She had nice raven hair and a good figure. I think I haven't had a girl for ages. Well, one year to be correct. It was the perfect time for Vegeta Ouji to become straight again. Oh, who am I kidding?! I was just looking for the physical attention I couldn't get from the object of my sick thoughts.
"Hi." I said casually. Now, I really wasn't in the mood for a long talk. I needed only a bed mate to prove my sanity. "Are you alone?" Well, I didn't actually care if she was alone cause I could kick her boyfriend's sorry ass in an instant, but it wouldn't hurt if I asked. The girl turned to me, she had black eyes like mine but with a lot more life in them. Mine were dull like the filthy bottom of a swamp. To most of the people they were unattractive and frightening but then again, girls weren't looking at them. They had a body to look at. Typical for them. But this one didn't seem intrigued. Interesting...
"No, I'm not alone but you can sit if you want." she said with a kind voice. I saw her looking at my body quickly, yeah it was the routine, then blushed and looked away. Some more words and she was mine. Even if she didn't want to. I had this strange effect on women, they lost all they words and fell in my trap. After finishing with them they cursed me to death for using them, and there was more hatred towards me. Better hatred than something else. How could I handle so many people? If only I could have this effect on Bulma then the world would be way more quiet. Stick to the plan, Vegeta!
I sat next to the black head and stared at her. Stage 2: making the victim want to run away. Girls looove danger. She noticed I was staring and stared at me too. "What's your name?" I asked not caring, it didn't matter what was her name, I didn't plan on staying with her longer than one night. "Oh, I'm Chichi. And you?" She was too kind, I almost felt sorry for her. Almost. "Vegeta. Do you want to hang with me today?" She looked at her feet uncomfortably.
"Sorry, but I can't. I.I've got a boyfriend." the girl stuttered. Oh, yes, always have some excuses to make themselves more interesting and unattainable. Or she was telling the truth. Whatever it was, I didn't care. "It doesn't really matter. Just for today." I leant over and her eyes widened. She tried to get away but I blocked her way and was about to kiss her when a voice stopped me. "Vegeta..."
I looked at the person who dared to interfere. It was Kakkarot. So, he was her boyfriend. He was a good rival, I admit. He could fight nearly as good as me. I stood slowly waiting for a fight and prepared myself mentally. I was going to beat up the boy that was the closest thing to the term my friend than anyone before. That is if I don't consider Bulma as a friend. I can't. You don't usually want to neck with your friend, right? But I didn't receive the words of hatred I expected. He grinned instead and hugged his girlfriend protectively. "I see you got to know Chichi. She's very kind, isn't she?" I looked dumbly at him. Was he stupid or what? It was obvious I wasn't just 'getting to know' her. The girl stared at him too. "Goku, he was trying to-"
"Ah, I like her so much! And she's such a nice cook too! She lives in the same town as me and we decided to go out together. You could come to visit us and she'll cook something delicious for us. What do you think?"
Well, it wasn't exactly the confrontation I was expecting. Chichi was gawking at him in disbelief. I only smirked at the loser and went away muttering a 'No, thanks.' How stupid could Kakkarot be? I was out of their sight but could still hear them when the girl burst out. "What was that about, Goku?! He was about to-" He quickly cut her out. "I know what he was about to do, Chi. I'm not *that* stupid. But if I fought him he would have lost the only friend he had. We may not look like friends but you've got to understand him. If you knew what he had lived through you would understand. His life is hell and I don't want to be one of the many that hate him. He's just lonely."
I listened utterly confused. I knew he knew about my life but didn't think he cared or even listened when I told him the first year. The girl spoke again. "I don't think that you should take it out on your friends, even if your life sucks." Oh, go screw yourselves! I've nearly entered the building that happened to be a bar when I heard his response. "He's not ready for friends yet."
I sat on a table alone thinking about what I heard. He was feeling pity towards me. I hate it. I hate being pitied. The waitress was desperately trying to hit on me but I wasn't in the mood right now. I stared at the glass full of water that I have ordered and wondered whether to beat the crap out of Kakkarot for his words or try to find Bulma and have fun teasing. Suddenly my handy beeped (yeah, I had all that fancy stuff) and I looked at the message. Well, the day wouldn't be lost after all. I felt myself grinning widely as if I have received the most happy news ever. Well, it was very pleasing, the thing I read. But I wasn't really sure about it yet.
Just at that moment Bulma chose to rush in the bar furious. "Vegeta, you SOB! Here you are! I told you I'll find you! Now start praying!!!" He yanked me up by my collar but I was in a too good mood to fight with him. I put my index finger on his nose. "Now, don't be so angry. Sit and have some water with me." I pushed him away easily and took my seat again coolly. He glared but what could he possibly do with a good-mooded Vegeta? Nothing~ that was the answer. I haven't felt like that since...well since he last fell on me. He sat in front of me with this funny expression of his that was saying 'you think I've forgoten but just wait and I'll show you on which side the bread is buttered'. He pouted when he saw I was drinking my water not giving a damn about his efforts to burn a hole into my forehead. Finally he gave up trying to gain some attention from me and sighed.
"Hey, Veg, do you want to bathe with me?" he asked out of the blue. I choked on my water.
"Wh.What?!" I was surprised. Really, really surprised. Was that a proposal? He looked confused at me then added, "In the hot springs I mean. I found one that will be free this night and I thought you would like to come with me. But if you don't I'll go alone. I shouldn't have asked your ungrateful ass anyway. You just know how to piss people off!" he snorted and turned his head to the other side so he couldn't see my creepy smirk. "Of course I'll come. How could I miss a free bath?"
He turned to me and smirked too. What was going on in that pretty head of his? "You need one anyway!" he shouted and ran out of the bar before I got his neck. "Come back, you idiot! Who do you call dirty?" I yelled at him and intended on chasing after him if it wasn't for the waitress who cried after me: "You forgot to pay!" So I came back in but not before I screamed at the remote figure. "I'LL GET YOU!!!"
^*^*^
It was already midnight but I didn't feel sleepy at all. I spotted Bulma on his way to the spring and followed his form keeping the distance between us. The place was remote, that was a good thing; almost everyone was asleep except for the people in the bars and the discos but there wasn't any chance that someone would want to come and bathe in the spring. That's what I like in this island-you could find hidden places any time you wanted to and no one would disturb you.
I finally came behind the small form but he didn't feel me. He started lifting his shirt and I felt my body tense. Stupid hormones and all. So trying to avoid what was supposed to happen in my sick head I kicked him in the water and relaxed when I heard the happy SPLASH and a yelp. A wet head appeared from the water looking grumpy at my direction. "Vegeta, you ass, why did you do that?!? You could've at least waited until I undressed, now all my clothes are wet!" What do I have to do to make him mad?! That strange guy was never angry with me and I tried so hard!
"That was revenge about your remark at the bar." I smirked insolently at him making his face flush. He only turned his back to me and undressed in the water. Soon my face met a soaking shirt followed by pants and some water. Was he aiming? Probably. I picked his clothes and hid them on a branch while he wasn't looking. Now he couldn't go anywhere; it was the perfect time to ask him about those pills again. Even if he didn't say the truth it would keep him on guard.
"Say, do you have to stick to a schedule with these pills of yours? I noticed you take them every 5 hours. What happens at night when you're sleeping?" I asked casually while undressing myself. It was quiet, obviously he was trying to think of something fast. The reply came sooner as expected.
"I don't see what that's got to do with you! But if you want to know I don't have to take them at night." Yeah, and I'm Santa Claus. I'm sure he could think of something better that idiot. It was humiliating just listening to those bullshits! Anyway I was going to find his secret soon so I let it be. After I left my shorts on I jumped in the warm water. It was heaven! It was so relaxing feeling the water surround your tired body while doing miracles on it. Well, it would have been relaxing if Bulma wasn't looking at me stupidly. As if Kakkarot wasn't enough on this Earth. The poor planet didn't need another idiot. His name brought some memories. I turned to the little body next to mine asking, "Do you think I don't deserve to have friends?"
Bulma blinked at me confused but then his face brightened. "Of cou~~~rse you deserve! Even the *biggest* jerks deserve friends!" Ack... Did he have a death wish or something?
"Come here smart guy..." I threatened while moving in the water to get to him and eventually rip his head off. These words were followed by splashing, yelps, hands waving and more splashing until I was exhausted of chasing him around and dived into the spring. Soon I saw his legs, he was moving around to see where I would jump from so he could escape. I waited until he turned with his front to me and then appeared right in front of his startled face. Yeah, I was having FUN. There was some more kicking and splashing but before he managed to get away from me I grabbed his shoulders and pushed him into the water. Eat *that* ,moron; I, the great Vegeta Ouji, am punishing your insolence.
I waited to see his grumpy mug appear again but there was nothing. I waited some more, if he was joking around... I was going to rip his limbs apart as soon as I found him. I wondered how long he could hold his breath. He didn't seem a good swimmer and I supposed in this scrawny body he didn't have so volumetric lungs. I could hold my breath for 10 minutes after a good practice for instance and this was really beginning to worry me. I didn't just drown him, did I? He couldn't die! Not now... I dived quickly searching for his body. Stupid idiot! If he couldn't swim he could at least tell me so! I saw his form stuck into some rocks at the bottom, so I dragged him to the surface as soon as I could where I began to examine his condition. Bulma wasn't breathing but his heart was beating. That was...strange. He was now obviously playing unconscious but I decided to play along with him anyway. Did he think I was *so* stupid to believe him?
I thought of warning him about what was to come next. "Okay, it's time for...CPR!" I cracked my knuckles noisily and bent down just in time to see him open his eyes in horror. I only heard a muffled 'wah' since I claimed my mouth on his but didn't blow air inside, he was alive after all. I think I always wanted to do that since the day we fought. The heck, I sound sooo gay. I hardly stopped myself from deepening the kiss and stood up looking at his panting lying form. Why hadn't he tried to escape my advances? Both of his hands were free. I left him a way to show me he didn't want that. Or was he just too weak to push me away? Whatever it was I wanted to pounce at him very bad so I turned my back at him and sat waiting for him to say something.
As expected I heard his whining voice in a moment. "You didn't have to do that~ I was alive! You saw me opening my eyes! I was just kidding!" My eye started twitching. He hadn't even realised I hadn't done the CPR. I was openly kissing him and he...was playing dumb right now.
"Go drown yourself! See if I care!" I snapped angrily. He was *such* an idiot!!! I felt his arms around my neck and my body tensed in an instant. What the heck!!!
"Oh~~~ was Veggie worried about poor Bulma?" That boy just didn' know where he was going. And I think I desperately needed a cold shower. I kicked him in the spring again to save him from the thoughts flooding my mind and shouted, "You know? Fuck you! I don't care if you drown for real this time! I won't be the idiot that would save you!" Then I ran away quickly but just after a few metres I remembered he didn't know where his clothes were. Well, let him sweat until he finds them. (evil smirk)
^*^*^
INTERACT (not really connected with the chapter)
Vegeta looking venomously: Stupid author!!! I could be soooooooooooo much better when I hit on a gilr!!! But noooooooo, you think you're smarter and make me an idiot!!! Now what would my fans think of me?!
Evil Author looking innocent: I thought you didn't care about your fans! And well, I didn't want you to sound like all the boys (insert deep voice imitating a smug face) "Hey, there, baby!..."
V: What's with that? It always works!
EA: Yeah, riiight! It doesn't work with me! What makes you think ALL the members of the female and gay society like you? (snickers at the 'gay' part winking at the readers stupidly)
V: Hey!!! What was with the GAY part?!?!? (thinking for a moment actually wondering what the question was ...checks the lines above...thinking again...and then...thinking)
V: Well, all like me cause I. AM. SO. *SEXY*!!!
EA: Uh huh! (looks bored at her fingernails wondering when was the last time she munched on them) 'Hmmm, when WAS the last time, really! They've grown quite a lot!'
V: Listen to me, ye devil woman! I look sexy in EVERYthing!!! Ask Bulma!
Bulma (although nobody asked her *glares*): Yeah! Even in a rabbit suit!
Vegeta horrified: Oh, NO!!! NOT the rabbit suit!!! *faints*
EA, Bulma: *sweatdrop* Uhhh..... O_o'''
END INTERACT ( o~~~kay, that was weird but I had to make a break otherwise I would've become all mushy around and spoil Veggie's part. Sorry if the last seconds you stared at the screen thinking 'What the heck's wrong with the woman?!' I couldn't help it! Gomen ne!)
^*^*^
When I got back in the room I wasn't surprised nobody was there. There was one message at the table and another one stuck with gum on the window. Now who was the idiot that did that?! And since when do I sound like that neat freak Bulma?!? Anyway I checked the notes. The idiot happened to be Kakkarot, no big surprise there; it said 'not wait for me be back at sz (AN: the academy) alone'. As usual - no punctuation. At least he learnt to write without mistakes. Maybe that girl of his was doing wonders for his brain. The other note was obviously from the hentai jerk. 'Got a chick, not wait, be back noon'. Hmm, observing the writing he had been on a hurry. And the only one here that would suffer a death of boredom was me. Feh...
For about 30 minutes I did whatever came to my mind like clearing the gum from the window, kicking a core to the bathroom, trying to open the window with my eyes only, watching birds flying, staring at the ceiling, counting the flies, killing the flies, cleaning the blood stains, drawing crosses on the walls with a pencil (I intended on clearing it as well). All in all I was having a 'great time' while hearing some indescribable noises from the other room. Gee!
I was already drawing a cross on the door when it was kicked open and I was smashed on the wall. "Ack..." I searched for broken bones quickly then saw who was the wise guy. Of course, it couldn't be anyone else than Bulma. So, he found the clothes. "Could've at least knocked." I muttered while making it to my bed and sitting down. He just grinned and closed the door after himself.
"Why bother? I sleep here afterall!" I glared darkly. Why was he so cheerful? He threw a quick glance at the notes then at the crosses. His eyebrow rose slowly while looking around the room counting them. They were exactly 56. Small crosses, big crosses, medium ones, anything you'd imagine. It's not as if I'm some religious guy, the cross simply is the easiest thing to draw. So don't get the wrong idea. Bulma turned his semi- scared eyes to me.
"Vegeta-san? You have some mental problems I don't know about?" He asked and I knew he was joking or trying to sound smart. What an interesting option! Vegeta, the black sheep AND the mentally ill. My parents will die laughing! Ugh, why did I even think of them?!
"I was just bored." I replied gloomy and looked out of the window. The moon was hidden in the branches of a weeping willow that made me think about the graveyard. And I surely needed to sleep some time soon. Just then a loud moan was heard from the next room; I blinked, Bulma blushed to the roots of his hair.
"Gee, is this a hotel or a brothel?!?" I remarked irritably. That was getting on my nerves!
"I'd rather say it's a hotel filled with horny teenagers." Bulma commented silently and stared through the window when another incredibly loud moan filled the air. His eye started twitching. "Do you mind if we sleep elsewhere?" he asked never breaking the eye contact with the drapes. "Where?" was my answer. I surely as hell wanted to sleep in silence and not hearing of those fools 'having fun'. Wait, they DID have fun. And what was *I* doing? Shit.
"The graveyard?" Bulma suggested the most weird place for sleeping in the history. Really, sometimes I think he's not alright with the head and people thought *I* was odd. I couldn't say anything better than 'Huh?!' while thinking about it. It wasn't that bad idea. It was quiet, remote, secluded and...did I say QUIET! The people there were becoming louder. Did they think I was enjoying hearing to them, those motherfuckers!
"Yeah," Bulma's voice cut through my fuming thoughts, "you know, the dead don't make s-"
"DON'T SAY IT! I'm gonna throw up! Sheesh! Alright. let's get outta here, stupid motherfuckers fucking themselves so fucking loudly I can't fucking stand their motherfucking screams I'm fucking sure it's not even fucking good-"
"Vegeta, cut it out already and take your pillow!" Bulma said exiting the room with his pillow and a blanket. The fucking nerve of the motherfucker. Who did he fucking think he was fucking cutting me out! I'm gonna fucking show him who's da fucking boss!...
...Uh...
Okay! I'm fucking stopping!... Anyway. I took my pillow and a blanked as well and ran after the lavender head quickly catching up. He gave me the 'parent' look. "You swear really bad, Vegeta, you should try speaking more calmly." I shrugged indifferently. Who told him *he* was the boss?
"Oh, who the fuck cares?!" He just sighed at that and kept walking in silence. Soon we entered the graveyard and chose a place to sleep. It was under a weeping willow with a huge monument from the left and bushes from the right. Very cosy and convenient. That was what he said. Then he put the blanket on the ground and lay on it. I myself lay on the ground covering my body with the other blanket. After a few minutes of struggling to sleep we found the inconvenient things about it. He was cold and I wasn't comfortable on the bare ground. We stared at each other for a while with a mutual question in our eyes that said 'Who's going back to take two other blankets?' but none of us spoke. So I got up, dusted my clothes, took my pillow and slumped on his place before his wide eyes.
"What?", I snapped, "Do *you* want to go back there?" He moved a little to make some place for me and I took it as a NO. I covered myself first and then gave what was left from the cover to Bulma. Which wasn't enough but instead of whining he just came closer to me and snuggled next to my arm. Little motherfucking snuggler. That was what he was. Some day I *was* going to kill the SOB and it would be slow and PAINFUL and HELL, I would enjoy it! What?! He was already asleep?! Well, I can only hope he won't drool on my arm. If I find just one drop of saliva I'm gonna beat the crap out of him!!!
Wait!
He forgot to take his pill...Hm.
^*^*^
A/N Wai! I finished! To all of you who are on the verge of killing me for being so slow, have mercy please. I was on a trip and I couldn't write and then I just had my usual writer's block. In fact I've got a block on everything. Especially on Biology. *shudders* And, NO, I'm not a boy, but thanks for suggesting! Uhm, to all who didn't like the whole gay thing and beared with it so far, relax! From the next chap on it will be completely straight! And I should mention some changes in the scenery are expected and the fic will FINALLY get a plot! (and sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm just too lazy to check!)
Till next time,
Ya ne!

He yanked me up by my collar but I was in a too good mood to fight with him. I put my index finger on his nose. "Now, don't be so angry. Sit and have some water with me." I pushed him away easily and took my seat again coolly. He glared but what could he possibly do with a good-mooded Vegeta? Nothing~ that was the answer. I haven't felt like that since...well since he last fell on me. He sat in front of me with this funny expression of his that was saying 'you think I've forgoten but just wait and I'll show you on which side the bread is buttered'. He pouted when he saw I was drinking my water not giving a damn about his efforts to burn a hole into my forehead. Finally he gave up trying to gain some attention from me and sighed.
"Hey, Veg, do you want to bathe with me?" he asked out of the blue. I choked on my water.
"Wh.What?!" I was surprised. Really, really surprised. Was that a proposal? He looked confused at me then added, "In the hot springs I mean. I found one that will be free this night and I thought you would like to come with me. But if you don't I'll go alone. I shouldn't have asked your ungrateful ass anyway. You just know how to piss people off!" he snorted and turned his head to the other side so he couldn't see my creepy smirk. "Of course I'll come. How could I miss a free bath?"
He turned to me and smirked too. What was going on in that pretty head of his? "You need one anyway!" he shouted and ran out of the bar before I got his neck. "Come back, you idiot! Who do you call dirty?" I yelled at him and intended on chasing after him if it wasn't for the waitress who cried after me: "You forgot to pay!" So I came back in but not before I screamed at the remote figure. "I'LL GET YOU!!!"
^*^*^
It was already midnight but I didn't feel sleepy at all. I spotted Bulma on his way to the spring and followed his form keeping the distance between us. The place was remote, that was a good thing; almost everyone was asleep except for the people in the bars and the discos but there wasn't any chance that someone would want to come and bathe in the spring. That's what I like in this island-you could find hidden places any time you wanted to and no one would disturb you.
I finally came behind the small form but he didn't feel me. He started lifting his shirt and I felt my body tense. Stupid hormones and all. So trying to avoid what was supposed to happen in my sick head I kicked him in the water and relaxed when I heard the happy SPLASH and a yelp. A wet head appeared from the water looking grumpy at my direction. "Vegeta, you ass, why did you do that?!? You could've at least waited until I undressed, now all my clothes are wet!" What do I have to do to make him mad?! That strange guy was never angry with me and I tried so hard!
"That was revenge about your remark at the bar." I smirked insolently at him making his face flush. He only turned his back to me and undressed in the water. Soon my face met a soaking shirt followed by pants and some water. Was he aiming? Probably. I picked his clothes and hid them on a branch while he wasn't looking. Now he couldn't go anywhere; it was the perfect time to ask him about those pills again. Even if he didn't say the truth it would keep him on guard.
"Say, do you have to stick to a schedule with these pills of yours? I noticed you take them every 5 hours. What happens at night when you're sleeping?" I asked casually while undressing myself. It was quiet, obviously he was trying to think of something fast. The reply came sooner as expected.
"I don't see what that's got to do with you! But if you want to know I don't have to take them at night." Yeah, and I'm Santa Claus. I'm sure he could think of something better that idiot. It was humiliating just listening to those bullshits! Anyway I was going to find his secret soon so I let it be. After I left my shorts on I jumped in the warm water. It was heaven! It was so relaxing feeling the water surround your tired body while doing miracles on it. Well, it would have been relaxing if Bulma wasn't looking at me stupidly. As if Kakkarot wasn't enough on this Earth. The poor planet didn't need another idiot. His name brought some memories. I turned to the little body next to mine asking, "Do you think I don't deserve to have friends?"
Bulma blinked at me confused but then his face brightened. "Of cou~~~rse you deserve! Even the *biggest* jerks deserve friends!" Ack... Did he have a death wish or something?
"Come here smart guy..." I threatened while moving in the water to get to him and eventually rip his head off. These words were followed by splashing, yelps, hands waving and more splashing until I was exhausted of chasing him around and dived into the spring. Soon I saw his legs, he was moving around to see where I would jump from so he could escape. I waited until he turned with his front to me and then appeared right in front of his startled face. Yeah, I was having FUN. There was some more kicking and splashing but before he managed to get away from me I grabbed his shoulders and pushed him into the water. Eat *that* ,moron; I, the great Vegeta Ouji, am punishing your insolence.
I waited to see his grumpy mug appear again but there was nothing. I waited some more, if he was joking around... I was going to rip his limbs apart as soon as I found him. I wondered how long he could hold his breath. He didn't seem a good swimmer and I supposed in this scrawny body he didn't have so volumetric lungs. I could hold my breath for 10 minutes after a good practice for instance and this was really beginning to worry me. I didn't just drown him, did I? He couldn't die! Not now... I dived quickly searching for his body. Stupid idiot! If he couldn't swim he could at least tell me so! I saw his form stuck into some rocks at the bottom, so I dragged him to the surface as soon as I could where I began to examine his condition. Bulma wasn't breathing but his heart was beating. That was...strange. He was now obviously playing unconscious but I decided to play along with him anyway. Did he think I was *so* stupid to believe him?
I thought of warning him about what was to come next. "Okay, it's time for...CPR!" I cracked my knuckles noisily and bent down just in time to see him open his eyes in horror. I only heard a muffled 'wah' since I claimed my mouth on his but didn't blow air inside, he was alive after all. I think I always wanted to do that since the day we fought. The heck, I sound sooo gay. I hardly stopped myself from deepening the kiss and stood up looking at his panting lying form. Why hadn't he tried to escape my advances? Both of his hands were free. I left him a way to show me he didn't want that. Or was he just too weak to push me away? Whatever it was I wanted to pounce at him very bad so I turned my back at him and sat waiting for him to say something.
As expected I heard his whining voice in a moment. "You didn't have to do that~ I was alive! You saw me opening my eyes! I was just kidding!" My eye started twitching. He hadn't even realised I hadn't done the CPR. I was openly kissing him and he...was playing dumb right now.
"Go drown yourself! See if I care!" I snapped angrily. He was *such* an idiot!!! I felt his arms around my neck and my body tensed in an instant. What the heck!!!
"Oh~~~ was Veggie worried about poor Bulma?" That boy just didn' know where he was going. And I think I desperately needed a cold shower. I kicked him in the spring again to save him from the thoughts flooding my mind and shouted, "You know? Fuck you! I don't care if you drown for real this time! I won't be the idiot that would save you!" Then I ran away quickly but just after a few metres I remembered he didn't know where his clothes were. Well, let him sweat until he finds them. (evil smirk)
^*^*^
INTERACT (not really connected with the chapter)
Vegeta looking venomously: Stupid author!!! I could be soooooooooooo much better when I hit on a gilr!!! But noooooooo, you think you're smarter and make me an idiot!!! Now what would my fans think of me?!
Evil Author looking innocent: I thought you didn't care about your fans! And well, I didn't want you to sound like all the boys (insert deep voice imitating a smug face) "Hey, there, baby!..."
V: What's with that? It always works!
EA: Yeah, riiight! It doesn't work with me! What makes you think ALL the members of the female and gay society like you? (snickers at the 'gay' part winking at the readers stupidly)
V: Hey!!! What was with the GAY part?!?!? (thinking for a moment actually wondering what the question was ...checks the lines above...thinking again...and then...thinking)
V: Well, all like me cause I. AM. SO. *SEXY*!!!
EA: Uh huh! (looks bored at her fingernails wondering when was the last time she munched on them) 'Hmmm, when WAS the last time, really! They've grown quite a lot!'
V: Listen to me, ye devil woman! I look sexy in EVERYthing!!! Ask Bulma!
Bulma (although nobody asked her *glares*): Yeah! Even in a rabbit suit!
Vegeta horrified: Oh, NO!!! NOT the rabbit suit!!! *faints*
EA, Bulma: *sweatdrop* Uhhh..... O_o'''
END INTERACT ( o~~~kay, that was weird but I had to make a break otherwise I would've become all mushy around and spoil Veggie's part. Sorry if the last seconds you stared at the screen thinking 'What the heck's wrong with the woman?!' I couldn't help it! Gomen ne!)
^*^*^
When I got back in the room I wasn't surprised nobody was there. There was one message at the table and another one stuck with gum on the window. Now who was the idiot that did that?! And since when do I sound like that neat freak Bulma?!? Anyway I checked the notes. The idiot happened to be Kakkarot, no big surprise there; it said 'not wait for me be back at sz (AN: the academy) alone'. As usual - no punctuation. At least he learnt to write without mistakes. Maybe that girl of his was doing wonders for his brain. The other note was obviously from the hentai jerk. 'Got a chick, not wait, be back noon'. Hmm, observing the writing he had been on a hurry. And the only one here that would suffer a death of boredom was me. Feh...
For about 30 minutes I did whatever came to my mind like clearing the gum from the window, kicking a core to the bathroom, trying to open the window with my eyes only, watching birds flying, staring at the ceiling, counting the flies, killing the flies, cleaning the blood stains, drawing crosses on the walls with a pencil (I intended on clearing it as well). All in all I was having a 'great time' while hearing some indescribable noises from the other room. Gee!
I was already drawing a cross on the door when it was kicked open and I was smashed on the wall. "Ack..." I searched for broken bones quickly then saw who was the wise guy. Of course, it couldn't be anyone else than Bulma. So, he found the clothes. "Could've at least knocked." I muttered while making it to my bed and sitting down. He just grinned and closed the door after himself.
"Why bother? I sleep here afterall!" I glared darkly. Why was he so cheerful? He threw a quick glance at the notes then at the crosses. His eyebrow rose slowly while looking around the room counting them. They were exactly 56. Small crosses, big crosses, medium ones, anything you'd imagine. It's not as if I'm some religious guy, the cross simply is the easiest thing to draw. So don't get the wrong idea. Bulma turned his semi- scared eyes to me.
"Vegeta-san? You have some mental problems I don't know about?" He asked and I knew he was joking or trying to sound smart. What an interesting option! Vegeta, the black sheep AND the mentally ill. My parents will die laughing! Ugh, why did I even think of them?!
"I was just bored." I replied gloomy and looked out of the window. The moon was hidden in the branches of a weeping willow that made me think about the graveyard. And I surely needed to sleep some time soon. Just then a loud moan was heard from the next room; I blinked, Bulma blushed to the roots of his hair.
"Gee, is this a hotel or a brothel?!?" I remarked irritably. That was getting on my nerves!
"I'd rather say it's a hotel filled with horny teenagers." Bulma commented silently and stared through the window when another incredibly loud moan filled the air. His eye started twitching. "Do you mind if we sleep elsewhere?" he asked never breaking the eye contact with the drapes. "Where?" was my answer. I surely as hell wanted to sleep in silence and not hearing of those fools 'having fun'. Wait, they DID have fun. And what was *I* doing? Shit.
"The graveyard?" Bulma suggested the most weird place for sleeping in the history. Really, sometimes I think he's not alright with the head and people thought *I* was odd. I couldn't say anything better than 'Huh?!' while thinking about it. It wasn't that bad idea. It was quiet, remote, secluded and...did I say QUIET! The people there were becoming louder. Did they think I was enjoying hearing to them, those motherfuckers!
"Yeah," Bulma's voice cut through my fuming thoughts, "you know, the dead don't make s-"
"DON'T SAY IT! I'm gonna throw up! Sheesh! Alright. let's get outta here, stupid motherfuckers fucking themselves so fucking loudly I can't fucking stand their motherfucking screams I'm fucking sure it's not even fucking good-"
"Vegeta, cut it out already and take your pillow!" Bulma said exiting the room with his pillow and a blanket. The fucking nerve of the motherfucker. Who did he fucking think he was fucking cutting me out! I'm gonna fucking show him who's da fucking boss!...
...Uh...
Okay! I'm fucking stopping!... Anyway. I took my pillow and a blanked as well and ran after the lavender head quickly catching up. He gave me the 'parent' look. "You swear really bad, Vegeta, you should try speaking more calmly." I shrugged indifferently. Who told him *he* was the boss?
"Oh, who the fuck cares?!" He just sighed at that and kept walking in silence. Soon we entered the graveyard and chose a place to sleep. It was under a weeping willow with a huge monument from the left and bushes from the right. Very cosy and convenient. That was what he said. Then he put the blanket on the ground and lay on it. I myself lay on the ground covering my body with the other blanket. After a few minutes of struggling to sleep we found the inconvenient things about it. He was cold and I wasn't comfortable on the bare ground. We stared at each other for a while with a mutual question in our eyes that said 'Who's going back to take two other blankets?' but none of us spoke. So I got up, dusted my clothes, took my pillow and slumped on his place before his wide eyes.
"What?", I snapped, "Do *you* want to go back there?" He moved a little to make some place for me and I took it as a NO. I covered myself first and then gave what was left from the cover to Bulma. Which wasn't enough but instead of whining he just came closer to me and snuggled next to my arm. Little motherfucking snuggler. That was what he was. Some day I *was* going to kill the SOB and it would be slow and PAINFUL and HELL, I would enjoy it! What?! He was already asleep?! Well, I can only hope he won't drool on my arm. If I find just one drop of saliva I'm gonna beat the crap out of him!!!
Wait!
He forgot to take his pill...Hm.
^*^*^
A/N Wai! I finished! To all of you who are on the verge of killing me for being so slow, have mercy please. I was on a trip and I couldn't write and then I just had my usual writer's block. In fact I've got a block on everything. Especially on Biology. *shudders* And, NO, I'm not a boy, but thanks for suggesting! Uhm, to all who didn't like the whole gay thing and beared with it so far, relax! From the next chap on it will be completely straight! And I should mention some changes in the scenery are expected and the fic will FINALLY get a plot! (and sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm just too lazy to check!)
Till next time,
Ya ne!
