Midnight Water Part 05

Looking over at the clock, Bulma saw that she had been on her bed crying for the last few hours. She didn't know why, but she felt really bad for what she did to Vegeta. It wasn't his doing, he was trying to help, and she yelled at him. Then, like a brick, it hit her. What was he doing there in the first places?

Looking over at the clock again she saw that it was almost 10:00pm. Looking over to the other side of her bed, she saw her coat and got up and took it and put it on. Walking down she found her mother looking out the window.

"Mom, I'm going out for a little drive." She said and didn't even stop to hear her mother ask why.

Getting into her truck, she took off to the school. Apon getting there, she took out her key and walked to the door. They had given her a key, seeing as how she was the star and knew that she wouldn't misuse it. Looking around she walked in and turned on the lights. She never really cared for the dark.

Walking over to the locker room, she found her locker and took out her suit and got into it. Walking back to the pool, she looked up at the diving board and then to the water. Without anymore thought, she got to the board and looked down.

Her whole life she had loved water. How it would ripple and it would never be the same. She loved how it made her feel as though it was cleaning her of all her hardtack. But tonight was different. She didn't feel the same, she felt like it would only hid the pain, but not wash it away.

Taking a deep breath, she looked down and with out thinking, she jumped down to the water, not knowing that eyes had been watching her the whole time.

Chichi looked on as she saw her boyfriend and cousin in a all out fight. Both Vegeta and Goku had been Black-belts, and they were a all out match for the other. Chichi knew that something had to be wrong for Vegeta to come over and stay for this long. They had been fighting for almost 4 hours and no sing of stopping.

"Ok guys, I think that you should call it a night." She said over to them, more to Vegeta then Goku.

"Yeah, Vegeta. We have been going at this for a long time, I'm hungry!" Goku wined.

Vegeta, without saying anything, stopped and walked over to get his stuff.

"Vegeta!" Goku yelled as her ran to him before he got to his car. "What is wrong, you have never gone all out like that before."

"It's nothing!" He yelled.

"Lire." Looking back Vegeta saw Goku looking him right in the eye. "I know that this has to do with Bulma."

When he said that name he looked down and felt like crying. The thought of her, hurt and not letting him help was killing him inside. He was about to tell him what was going on when Chichi ran out of the house call out to both of them.

"GUYS! Bulma's mother just called and said that Bulma left around 10:00 and still hasn't gotten back. It's 12:45pm right now!" Chichi said as she ran over to them, Stopping she looked up to see the look on Vegeta's face.

"I know where she is." He said getting in his car.

"Where?" Goku asked.

"Where she always goes to think. The school pool." Vegeta said though his car window.

"I'm coming with you." Chichi said as she got in the car. Looking back at Goku she told him to fallow in his car.

It took them about 15 minuets to get the school and found that it looked really different at night. Pulling in front of the Gym, they saw her truck, But they also saw another truck parked a little ways off.

Goku and Vegeta looked at each other and nodded. Bulma was not the only one who liked late night swims.

"What is Bulma's dad's truck doing here?" Chichi asked as she too looked over and saw it.

Vegeta looked at her then to the Gym, without saying anything, he took off with a full out sprint and flew though the doors. Goku and Chichi didn't know what got into him, but knew that Vegeta knew something that they didn't.

Running down that hall, Vegeta ran to the Pool and saw that she was there on the board. He looked around and couldn't find anyone, namely her father.

Soon, Chichi and Goku ran up to him and stopped with they looked up and saw what he was looking at.

"Hey she is here" Goku said.

Bulma looked over and saw that her friends where there and couldn't think of why, then she saw him, Vegeta. He still came after she was so rude to him. Vegeta looked up and saw that she saw them.

Bulma made a move to get down, however, her foot slipped on the wet board and she feel, with a loud scream.

In all her years she had swam, she just now fell. The others could do nothing but look on as she fell, he back landing on the board and then she fell.

The others ran over to the edge to see if she was ok, but when she didn't come up, Vegeta didn't let another second go bye. He took off his shoes and jacket and jumped in.

He looked around and saw her. She looked like a goddess under the water. Her heir was flowing above her and she looked like she truly belonged there. Vegeta swam over to her and took her in his arms and swam to the top. Looking around for Chichi and Goku, he swam over to them and they helped him pull her out.

They laid her down and Vegeta took to her side.

"Bulma? Come on, wake up. Snap out of it." He said low.

Goku and Chichi looked on and that's when Chichi saw that she had markes all over her.

"How come I want tot say that those aren't from falling." She said pointing, Goku looked and he felt anger take over him. He had been friends with Bulma for a very long time and she would always tell him if some one was picking on her. Why had she not told him this?

"Bulma, Please. Wake up." Vegeta said looking down at her.

With out warning she coughed and jerked up. Vegeta took her in his arms and help on to her. She looked up to him and couldn't help but feel save.

"I'm sorry." She said coughing and drying at the same time. "I should have told you, I'm so sorry." She said and moved closer to him. He hugged her back and looked over to the others.

Chichi walked over to and got down. "Bulma what happened? Why didn't you tell us? You know that we who do anything to help you."

Bulma looked over to Chichi. "I know, but I didn't know what to do. It happened so fast."

"What? What happened so fast?" Goku asked as he got down to her level too.

"Can we talk about this latter?" She said looking down. Vegeta looked up to Chichi and with out words told her to take Bulma to the locker room.

Chichi took the hint and took Bulma. They walked to the locker room and Vegeta looked over to Goku. "I'm going to kill him." Was all he said.

"Kill who? Vegeta what the hell is going on? Who did this!?" He asked sick of being in the dark.

"Her Father." Was all he had to say, now not only was Vegeta pissed off, but so was Goku, two men that one man would fear.

Chichi helped Bulma to the locker room. "Bulma, we have been friends for a really long time."

"Save it Chichi. What did you wont me to do? Tell my friends that my dad hits me. He's a good father. I don't know what happened. He just came home one night and it stared." Looking down she let out a breath.

With out saying anymore, Chichi let Bulma get dressed. She couldn't stand the site of her best friend hurting and there was nothing that she could do about it.

There was a loud sound behind them and they both looked to see who it was. "Goku, We'll be out soon. This is the 'Girls' locker room." Chichi said then turning back around to Bulma.

"I don't care." Came a voice, and it wasn't Goku, or Vegeta.

Bulma looked up to see her father. Fear took over her and she looked over to Chichi. Chichi seeing this turned back around to her friend's father.

"You may have her scared, but not me. You're just a guy that need to run some else life." However she soon wished she hand never said that. He had made his way over to her and slapped her so hard that she fell down and hit one of the many lockers.

Goku and Vegeta where walking over to the locker room when they heard the sound of a slap and then someone hit a locker. They took off running and didn't care that that door said 'Girl's Locker Room'. When they got in the saw Chichi on the ground and Bulma over in the corner. Looking over on the other side of the room, they saw him. All Vegeta and Goku saw was red.
