Gunning down A Romance

(How original! !)

Shut It ! ! ! !

********************************************************************************

And now he was going

To show her what chaos really felt like.

Bulma's eyes widened with fear, what was he doing?

She'd never seen his eye's so focused before, it was daunting, but the

Frightening thing was that she couldn't break eye contact with him.

Sable fused into Prussian.

Bulma felt his ice cold hand commandeer her wrist in front of her face, she felt

beads of sweat form on her brow as she struggled to free herself from his

grasp.

There was no relenting in those ebony eyes.

********************************************************************************

Vegeta pushed her wrist in front of her features, enjoying the expression that

surfaced in her eyes.

~This is what she wanted , and now she's going to get it. ~

Old emotions began to surface on the brink of his conscious, he closed his

eyes willing them to diminish back into the void.

Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain

~ This is her fault. ~

In one fluid movement he'd brought his arm up next to hers, he watched as

the expression in her visage changed at the speed of light.

"How-."

She began to articulate, but Vegeta pressed one long finger against her

mouth.

And suddenly all urge to speak had disappeared, all she could see were those

long tunnels of darkness consuming her, causing her to feel, stripped before

him.

And him to her.

And feelings of aggression are the absence of the love drug in your veins

A torrid feeling surfaced on her wrist, growing steadily more painful with each

passing second.

She still couldn't elude from his stare.

The affliction was growing too intense, Bulma tried to break away from

whatever he was doing, but she couldn't it was already too late.

~Stop it ! ~

Her mind reeled, words formed in her brain but seemed to lose their way on

the journey to her vocal cords.

There was something she couldn't understand in his eyes now, she was

unable to decipher him.

Panic had finally tangled her up into its sticky web.

********************************************************************************

In your veins

~This is her fault, now she's going have to cope with what she will never be

able to understand.~

His mark inches from hers, the friction from the two symbols could be felt at a

distance, a tingling feeling covered his skin with dancing electricity.

His thoughts became a mixture of emotions, questions without answers

bubbled through the haze of confusion.

~ Is this the right thing to do ?

Will it just make it worse?

Is it already to late to stop this? ~

But to the last question he already knew the answer, his gaze flew back to

hers momentarily, he knew what he'd like to do, but it was forbidden.

But so was everything else he wanted.

Love come quickly

It was too late.

He needed to do this before his mind caught up with him, he needed to do this

now, otherwise this moment would be gone, forever.

********************************************************************************

Bulma was now afraid, not afraid of him, but of everything Vegeta symbolised.

The unknown, she feared that in him.

And now she was completely at his mercy.

It happened so quickly that even Bulma had no idea what had happened, the

burning sensation increased in her wrist as though someone had pushed a

white hot poker against her skin and was holding it there, her eyes were still

locked into his.

Heavy and Ruinous.

She felt like she was drowning.

Because I feel my self-esteem is caving in

A roaring sound filled her ears,

suppressed voices,

unheard words,

soundless thoughts.

She tried to shake them off, but the voices seemed to be all around her,

although the only thing she could see were those two voids.

It's on the brink

The screaming clamour intensified, Bulma almost felt that all her sanity was

going with it, how could this be possible?

It wasn't, was the simple answer.

Those voids. . . . . .

Images now, flickering slowly at first, and things she couldn't make out.

Couldn't understand.

Pain

Desolation

Loneliness

Death

Her comprehension was spinning, so was her vision, she was drowning.

Overpowered by whatever he was doing to her.

Her legs were beginning to give out from under her.

"Please-. . . ."

She began to say, but couldn't finish her sentence, her perception was failing,

the images, where they images or where they memories?

His memories.

She forced herself to speak, "Why ar-".

His hand enveloped her mouth silencing her, " I thought they were just

memories. They can't hurt you, unless you let them."

He was enjoying this.

Love come quickly

Why did he insist on doing this? She just didn't understand, and she hated

that most of all.

And now her sight was almost gone, ensnare by these images, these

memories.

His past.

Bulma slumped to the floor in a dead faint, her head rolled back against the

wall, in an undignified position.

Vegeta glared down at her, unsure of what to do, he supposed he should

place her back in her room, so she could sleep.

If she could .

~ Should I have done that ? ~ he wondered stooping down to pick her up, ~It's

what she wanted.~

His mind thought simply back at him.

Her head rolled towards his chest, her nose touching the base of his shoulder,

he willed himself to ignore it but it was becoming steadily harder.

Because I don't think I can keep this monster in

It's in my skin

She was muttering something indistinguishable now, he probably knew what

it was, but he didn't want to find out, he'd just fall deeper into the chasm then

he already was.

He kicked her bedroom door with his foot, the door crashed open to reveal

the untidy state she'd left her bed in.

Walking quietly over the carpeted floors he lay her gently on her bed and

turned to leave the room.

Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine

They're morphine

He doubted if he'd be able to sleep again tonight, he might as well go down to

train.

Without a backwards glance he strode quickly along the hallway and down the

stairs.

Silence pressing down on him from all sides.

Alone,

again.

********************************************************************************

Where am I ?

There are three suns here,

earth doesn't have three suns.

The sky is blood red and there is a sense of doom in the a

atmosphere.

Why is everyone standing still?

What am I doing here?

The ground is shaking beneath me, buildings and mountains are all

beginning to crumble at my feet.

People are screaming now, pointing to the sky, black dots coming

steadily closer.

Meteorites?

No they're too controlled to be rocks.

Ships?

Small shuttles.

Like those I saw on planet Namek.

Why are they here?

People are running right through me, they don't see me, it's almost

as if I'm not here.

What are they doing?

Stop !

No !

Leave them alone !

Vegeta !

********************************************************************************

Bulma woke up abruptly, her entire body was drenched in sweat, the last thing

she remembered was a blinding flash of white light and the screaming. . . . .

The throb from the noise still echoed in her ears.

What had he done to her ?

Bulma kneaded her forehead tiredly, she didn't understand the situation.

"Why does this have to be so difficult! ?"

She screamed at the ceiling, she could almost see him smirking back at her.

His annoyingly perfect response.

'You figure it out.'

Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen

She punched the bed spread with frustration, dismay curled itself around her

chest, she'd never understand him.

Not unless she really tried.

~ What was Goku thinking? It would have been so much simpler if he'd just let

Crillin. . . .~

She cut herself off short, no, she would allow him to demeanour her that

much.

She was stronger than him, much stronger.

She could cope, even if he couldn't.

Flicking lose strands of hair away from her face she rose to go to the

bathroom.

She needed to be up early to wave goodbye to her parents.

Then she'd talk to Vegeta.

Rarely seen

********************************************************************************

" Look after yourself won't you honey?" he father smiled at her, "I don't want to

come back and find the house in pieces."

Bulma grinned back at her father.

"No daddy, you know me, I'm dependable."

Her father smiled back at her, but his eyes showed some feeling of concern.

"I know you are but I mean . . . . ."

Bulma shook her head, " I can keep him under control Dad."

~ Barely. ~ her mind retorted back at her statement.

"Love you." Mrs Briefs said hugging her only child to her chest, "Look after him

won't you dear?"

Bulma pulled back with alarm, "What exactly is that supposed to mean ? !"

She glared accusingly back her mother.

"Oh, nothing dear." her mother smiled awkwardly, "Got to be going now."

Bulma waved them goodbye, walking slowly back into the house, her eyes

trailed across to the Gravity Machine.

She wasn't sure what to think of him now, he was so confusing.

He'd say one thing and do another, act like one thing but really be something

completely different.

She frowned, the gravity machine was completely silent.

The usually humming sound that vibrated through her ribcage had

disappeared.

The frown intensified on her features, ~ What's he up to now?~ she

contemplated.

~No good I suppose.~

Love I beg you

Lift me up into that privileged point of view

The world of two

The wind whipped across the grass and tore straight through Bulma's clothes

shivering she walked faster, her breath rising in front of her face like a mist,

shrouding her vision.

Standing outside the door nothing could be heard from inside.

She hadn't seen him since last night, and he hadn't been in his room since,

she'd checked this morning.

"Vegeta?"

Nothing the stillness of the gardens was her only answer.

"Vegeta can I come in ?"

Still nothing.

Love don't leave me

Because I console myself that Hallmark cards are true

I really do

She pushed the door open, the machine had deactivated itself, the warning

error still flashed red on the small screen.

"Vegeta ?"

The floor was cracked, her feet crunched over the remaining pieces of the

battle droids.

'Warning,

computer error,

system failure,

Danger Extreme Levels.

Computer Overrides Non-Operational.'

Computer Overrides ?

Why was he using computer overrides?

He must have by passed the security system to use extreme measures, but

why ?

"Vegeta ?"

Extreme Levels?

He might have killed himself.

Bulma breath caught in her throat.

Danger? !

********************************************************************************

He didn't care, his sole purpose in life now as to train and she wasn't helping.

The mark seared on his skin as he tried to override the systems safety net.

'Access Denied.'

It kept beeping up at him.

' Computation Error

Access Denied.'

Growling to himself he bent down to pull the panel open, it wrenched open

with a snap.

Red wire,

Blue wire,

Green wire,

his hand reached to pull out the yellow wire, but stopped as a voltage of

electricity shot down his spine.

I'm gunning down romance

Swearing he reached out again to pull it out, he could feel his blood pumping

around his body at twice the speed.

He'd probably end up killing himself in the end, but that didn't seem to matter.

His mind was fixed on one thing.

Beat Kakarott.

'Access Denied '

Vegeta winced as the raw electricity coursed through his veins.

'Computation Error.'

He rewired the system, yellow to blue, red to green.

'Computer.'

His voice was harsh, and he was ladened with fatigue, anything to block her

out.

'Manual override.'

It never did a thing for me

But heartache and misery

Isn't nothing but a tragedy

'Warning extreme levels may over heat the system.

Safety Precautions will be off line. '

'Manual Override.' he interrupted,

he didn't have all day to do this in.

'Manual Override initiated. Please select gravity level.'

Love don't leave me

Vegeta walked over to the console, his fingers paused over the buttons,

should he . . . . .

'Weakling.'

The words spun at him from nowhere, but he knew there meaning well

enough, and what he had to do.

Gravity Level 400

Take these broken wings

I'm going to take these broken wings

He stood up and walked into the centre of the room, his hands were clenched

together.

'Warning, computer error, gravity simulator system start up.'

His throat was dry, was this a good idea ?

'Weakling.'

'Computer-, computer activate gravity simulator.'

And learn to fly

And learn to fly away

'Danger Extreme Levels,

Computer Error.'

'Manual Override.'

And learn to fly away
