I can't help but type it to ease the pain ^^ Anywho I just wanted to apologize to the very few readers I still have left ^^ (especially Vegeta Goddess… the original one)

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

As Bulma woke up she could feel the scares across her back throbbing in agonizing pain. She moaned in frustration because she couldn't move her arms or legs. She thought for a second Queen Tora had left her for dead, but as she looked around her surroundings she could see she was still in the same dungeon alone. Just as she was going to fall asleep the dungeon door creaked open and Bulma opened her eyes in fear only to see someone that wasn't Queen Tora.

" You, Bulma women, put on this dress and spruce yourself up. We are going to land soon and your coronation is going to start." Before Bulma could speak the man left to leave the dress folded nicely on the damp floor before her.

" Great, how am I going to dress chained up?!" she screamed angered. A loud clicking noise was heard and her chains were loose, and then fell off. Bulma mumbled to herself as she picked up the dress to look at it. Her cat eyes were amazed at the beauty of the dress.

Even though it was a dress that showed more skin than cloth she dismissed it and gazed at the dark midnight blue. The dress was a two-piece and the top reminded her of one shirt she had back home: the red tube top. Right at that second she remembered Vegeta.

" Oh no Vegeta! I hope he's okay… I hope he comes for me…"

' Of course he isn't coming after you! He doesn't need you!' The back of her mind yelled back at her.

" Yes he is!" she thought back.

' He already got the only thing he wanted from you: sex.'

" NNNOOOOOOO!" she screamed at a high-pitched volume echoing in the dark and gloomy dungeon. What if…he… and the… tears were pouring out of her eyes light splattering. The cat women slowly fell to her knees in agony. The only person in her life she ever really loved only wanted her for her body not for who she was.

***

Vegeta slowly awoke still lying on the carpeted floor. He growled in angered still disoriented. After sitting and letting the room stop spinning he tried to remember what happened last. He was with Bulma… they… and then…

" BULMA!" he yelled searching for his mate. He stood quickly and looked around. After spotting the feathered darts on the floor remembered what had happened. There was a sound or smell Bulma could only sense. She told him to be quiet and she readied herself to pounce at any motion. Then a storm of Cat-people like Bulma shot us both with what seems to be a tranquilizer and dragged Bulma off…

" Those basterds!" Vegeta charged right through the door knocking it down and flew as fast as he could to the ship bay. When he arrived there he blasted the huge door open and ran inside to find a suitable flying ship to take on such a long journey to Catarl- Catarl.

He found a ship that looked similar to the ones he had used before. He hastily entered the ship and ran to the control panel. He started the ship and his fingers flew across the keyboard setting the destination. The prince heard a large rumbling sound and he started the ship.

The computer counted down from five…four…three…two…ONE! The ship took off with great speed. As soon as he reached out of Earth's gravity and he wasn't being pulled down anymore he went downstairs to the training room and began to train.

" I just hope I get there in time…" he thought to himself.

***

After Bulma was done crying her heart out she gloomily put the weird dress on. A few moments after the dress was on, the same man who gave her the dress and demanded that she put it on opened the door with a loud thud and motioned her to follow. Slowly getting up Bulma walked silently out the door and with the weird man.

As they were walking down the hall Bulma didn't really seem to notice that they were going down a huge hallway ravished with gold looking molds and velvety carpet and drapery. This ship was defiantly used only for royalty. Queen Tora greeted Bulma when she arrived at the main chamber.

" Feeling sad aren't you Bulma? Yes, and I bet I know why? Separated by your mate Vegeta! Why just hearing his name still boils my blood! You know, revenge feels so good…" Queen Tora died off waiting for Bulma to reply with some whitty remark like ' He's coming to get me I know it!' or ' You'll never get away with this!' but nothing came. Bulma just stood there in her velvety midnight blue dress and said nothing.

" What is wrong with you child?! When your queen speaks to you, you shall respond!" still nothing came out of Bulma's lips. Queen Tora growled and slapped her across the face in annoyance. Bulma whimpered helplessly as she fell to the ground in pain.

" Get up! You need to meet your mate before the coronation starts." Tora left. The black cat just sat there whimpering repeating inside of her head over and over,' He isn't coming… I'm wasting my time worrying about him… I should just get married to whoever they chose for me and live life without him!' Bulma nodded in agreement with her mind.

A/N O.O WTF " nodded in agreement with her mind" dang… Bulma is getting like…psycho! Anywho back to the story…

She steadily stood up and walked down the same hall she saw Tora walking down confidently. She knew from now on there was no Vegeta. It's just going to be her and the prince she was going to marry. As she walked down the vast hallways she heard voices and the unmistakable sound of Queen Tora talking. Bulma looked around nervously and peeked her head inside of the cracked door. There was Queen Tora standing there looking high and mighty and a man kneeling before her.

" Stand Prince Hakumei you will meet your wife now. Bulma please come in." she nervously laughed and walked slowly from behind the door to standing in front of the door. Prince Hakumei rushed over and grabbed her hand lightly kissing it.

" It is nice to finally meet you Princess Bulma. My name is Prince Hakumei." He spoke softly in a sultry medium bass voice.

A/N you know the voice that's deep but not TOO deep… heh like Snake from Metal Gear Solid 2…*drools* or or or! Like Yami-Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh! Hee hee he's so my boyfriend…^^

Bulma couldn't help but drool at this man whom she just meet treating her like she really WAS royalty.

" Well, I'll leave you two alone so you can get to know each other." Queen Tora smiled viscously. She felt tat nothing will ruin her plan now! As soon as she left Prince Hakumei looked up from kissing her hand to make sure the nasty queen was gone.

" Oh good… I'm really sorry about that I had to make sure Queen Tora took my act!" Hakumei bowed again.

" I-it's okay… I didn't mind its just.." Bulma trailed off as she looked away. When she averted her greenish-yellow cat eyes his uniform caught her eye. It looked like a white tux but with weird differences. He had a strange metal on his coat and she could tell he was a tiger changeling.

" Is there something wrong? Is there someone else you love?" Hakumei asked hesitantly.

" NO! There isn't!" she answered quickly blushing furiously. She couldn't help seeing an image if the arrogant Prince Vegeta in her mind.

" So, I heard some rumors on how you got here? Are they all true? What did happen? Did you really fight Queen Tora with no experience at all with your powers?" Bulma giggled, he was acting like a little schoolboy! Asking all these questions… it was kinda cute!

" Slow down! How about we sit down… these shoes they gave me are killing my feet!" she walked to the bed at the very end corner of the gigantic elegant room.

" You can really tell Queen Tora is really a megalomaniac! Everything has to be big and elegant for her! Anyway tell me everything from the beginning!" Bulma sighed as they both sat down. The bed was really comfortable and her bum sank a bit into the comforter.


" Well, it all started like this…"

*WOOO FLASHBACK!!!!!*

" Hurry Vegeta, we are going to be late for the seminar." Bulma was pulling on his arm.

" Do not rush your Prince woman." Bulma stopped and looked at him with stern eyes.

" One day Vegeta, one day you shall see just how strong some females are." She said as she walked along her own way.

" Fine. Be that way." When they got there, only a small group was there, but off in the distance, Bulma saw a huge crowd running their way. Bulma ran fast enough just to get there in the nick of time. They all sat down and waited until the TV that was before them turned on and showed a scientist in a white lab coat.

" Hi! Today history is being made by us taking a closer look at the mysterious Black Panther. Let's take a look at the beast." The Black Panther was pacing back and forth in the cage nervously. Vegeta looked at the monster thinking he had seen it before.

" Right now we are taking blood samples. Lets take a look shall we?" they moved the camera for the whole audience to see. They took a pole with a strap to hold the animal in place and took a needle and got it ready to put it in. before they used the needle, the animal's eyes started to glow. Only Vegeta noticed this and thought to him-self that it was a battle technique called scan. He had seen it before but where? As soon as the needle broke the skin, the animal went on a rampage. It cut the leash they had on it with a snap of its jaws. It bit the iron bar and jumped out.

They heard crashing in the building in front of them. People started gasping and looking at each other not knowing what to expect next when the steel door broke down with a slam. Everyone started running away. Bulma was in the second row and people trampled her that was in the front row. When she finally got up she noticed Vegeta was not running away but people were pushing and shoving him around. The Black Panther ran towards Bulma with great speed. The last thing Bulma got past her lips was,

" VEGETA HELP AAAHHHH!!!!!" The panther bit her should and Bulma screamed again in great pain. Blood was coming out the bite wound. The panther turned its head and threw Bulma against the chain-linked fence. Then the panther turned into human/panther form. She had chest armor on and very revealing dress with strings coming out the end with beads on it. The dress went over her front and back and the top of the sides was there, but from then on it showed her furry black skin. Vegeta jumped into the air and confronted the panther human form.

" WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" There was silence.

"I SAID WHAT IN HELL DID YOU DO TO HER. YOU BETTER ANSWER ME I AM PRINCE VEGETA YOU HEAR ME BEAST!" The human Panther looked at him with her yellow eyes.

" Ah, Prince Vegeta. Nice to see you survived Freeza's attack. I haven't seen you since you were a toddler." Her voice was melodious. It sound like she was singing as she talked.

" Who are you and how do you know me beast."

" Quite naughty language coming from a price. I am Princess Burakkupansa of the planet Catarl- Catarl. And you should hold your tongue in me presence. We did a planet trade with your father. I knew him well." Vegeta gave a quick bow in honor but still not taking his eyes off her not trusting the monster.

" You still haven't answered my question Princess." Vegeta said as he growled.

" I can't live any longer for me mother to come and rescue me. I have bitten her to turn her into a Panther Changeling. My mother will some and pick her up, taking her back to my planet in my absence." She smiled.

" YOU CAN'T TAKE HER! I WON'T ALLOW IT."

" My, my, my Vegeta. Do you have feelings for the girl. Oh yes, that reminds me, you better get her to a hospital quick before she dies. Treat her well and she shall be powerful. You have picked the right mate. See you in the other world." Her eyes filled with tears as a white spirit left her body and rose into the air and her body disappeared. Vegeta ran over to her side genteelly picking her up.

" Woman, woman can you hear me?" Silence.

" BULMA!" He screamed looking for any sign of life. His heart was beating faster as he worried for her life. Her eyes slowly opened.

" Vegeta." She whispered.

" What?"

" That's the first time you ever said my name." Her voice was barely above a whisper. His heart slowed down a bit knowing she was okay.

" I don't fell so good." She said as she winced from her arm.

" It's okay. I'm going to take you back to C.C. and get you a sensu bean." She nodded as he picked her up and turned around. When he looked at the spot the Princess was, a box was there. He picked it up and put it in his pocket knowing it was a present from the Princess.

" Vegeta wait." She whispered.

" What now woman?"

" Take me to a doctor in a hospital. I want to know what's wrong with me."

" Fine. But I don't think science can answer it." He said the last part to him-self.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" So that's how it all started. After that I fought with Tora. Needless to say I was pretty beat up after the fight! Then Vegeta…" Bulma looked away form him with tearful eyes. ' How come it's so hard so think about him?' the Black Panther changeling asked herself.

' Because you still love him you baka! Now high tail it outta there and go back to him!' her mind argued back.

' But he doesn't love me anymore! With a heart as black as his how could he love anyone?!' Bulma argued back forcefully. There was silence for a second, then an answer came she thought she'd never hear,

' Even in the darkest of hearts, there is some light." And the voice echoed out.

A/N Talk about a total Kingdom Hearts reference! I mean dang that was really a line from that game towards the end…. SORA IS MY BOYFRIEND! Just like 22 other bishounen ^^

" BULMA!" Prince Hakumei screamed trying to get her attention. In response she whipped her head around with tear eyes, tears ready to drop.

" I take your pain away Princess Bulma, you just have to let me…" he lowered his lips onto hers lightly.

' This is what I deserve! I can tell he will take care of me!' Bulma thought scornfully. And for once, her mind didn't fight back losing all hope.
