Phobia

Agent 182: Heyoo, thanks for the reviews ^_^. Apparently, the last chapter was scary. I loved it too. I've had some questions about the nosebleeds. Okay so here is why Goku's nose bleeds when all the weird hallucinations are going on. Mental overload. That's why. I saw this show, this bad guy was messing with the good guy's mind, and it made his brain overload I guess and his nose bleed so I thought that was rad so I put it in. Hopefully that makes since. So here's the next chapter.

Chapter 9: Send the pain below

Piccolo looked at the group and saw a familiar face missing . . . Bulma.

"Where's Bulma?" he asked Marron, she shrugged.

"I think she's still in bed. I woke up after I heard all the screaming. Then I went into the hall and followed Trunks and Goten into here." Yamcha paled.

"Do you think Videl . . . got her?" Vegeta sighed as Yamcha said this.

"Kakkarot, come on we need to check up on her." Goku nodded and let go of Vegeta.

"She's not dead . . ." Goku whispered as they started down the hall followed by the others. Vegeta eyed him.

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't think Videl wants her dead. I have a feeling." He still faced forward. "She's just toying with us. She's only killed Krillian and Eighteen. She's had plenty of time to kill all of us. She's waiting for something. I can't figure out what though." 'Kakkarot is right, it does seem like she's toying with us. Waiting for the right moment to attack.' Vegeta thought as they rounded a corner. Bulma's room came into sight.

"What could she be waiting for then Goku?" Tien asked. The tall Sayian didn't answer.

"Maybe she's waiting for us to get the dragonballs." Gohan spoke up. The group was silent.

Piccolo broke the silence. "No, she doesn't know about the dragonballs. She's still on Earth. She probably thinks we're still on Earth."

"But how do you know Piccolo. She could be on this ship. We can't feel her ki." Tien nodded at Chaoitzu as the small emperor said this. The Namek looked down at the ground, and didn't answer. Goten, Trunks, and Marron walked quietly, praying to Kami that Bulma was alright.

They stopped in front of the door. Vegeta pressed in the code and the door slid up. The group went to Bulma's side but Goku stayed back, he didn't actually walk into the room.

Vegeta shook Bulma's shoulder. "Bulma wake up." Blue eyes shot open, and she moved backwards. Her eyes wide. She calmed; it was only Vegeta. She looked around the room seeing her friends. Goku was by the door and he tensed up when Bulma looked over at him. 'Does he know?'

"Thank Kami that was a dream." She whispered. She got out of the bed and reached for her robe instantly seeing the blood on it. No one else seemed to see it. 'I'm just seeing things, that's it.' She pulled it over her shoulders and her arms in the sleeves. She looked down at her hands and gasped as she saw dark blood on them. Vegeta stared at her.

"Bulma are you alright?"

""I-I'm fine." She lied as she slipped her hands into the front pocket of her robe. Something stuck to her hand. Tape. Her fingers curled around the knife in her pocket. She heard a strangled cry from the door, her head shot up. Goku stared at her, his eyes wide. Words were on his tongue but none were spoken. Blood started to drip from his nose.

Vegeta growled; he could sense something between the two. Bulma pulled the blade from her pocket. Vegeta's eyebrows furrowed as he saw it.

"What's going on?" Hercule yelled. He was very confused.

"I- I-" Bulma stuttered, and set the knife on the dresser.

"Tell them Bulma." Goku finally spoke up as he wiped blood from his nose.

"Tell us what?" Yajarobi raised his eyebrow.

"No-nothing"

"How are we going to stay alive if everyone has a secret?" Master Roshi mumbled.

"I- it's not important, really. I just need to clear up a few things that's all." She walked over to Goku. He didn't look at her.

"I'm sorry." She left the room.

"What the hell is going on?" Vegeta glared at his mate.

"She doesn't want to tell you then I won't."

"And why the hell is your nose bleeding again?" Yamcha exited the room and went after Bulma.

"Bulma." He called her name she stopped and faced him. Her face stained with tears. "Bulma, what's wrong?" he asked. She hugged him tightly.

"It was horrible but it was true. I didn't know I felt that way." She cried into his chest.

"What? You can tell me Bulma I promise I won't tell anyone else."

"I killed Goku and his baby. It was so so horrible and I wanted to kill them. I wanted to."

"It's alright Bulma. It was only a dream. Only a dream."

"Bulma . . ." She turned to see Goku. A frown on his face.

"What?"

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blow up like that. With everything that's happening I'm really confused and on edge. I'm sorry and I forgive you and it was a dream and Videl is probably trying to get everyone apart." He forced a smile.

"Yeah. How- how did you know about it?"

"My head started to hurt, then there was these flashes of color, and then it went by I saw and heard everything like it was me. I was actually there. It felt like it at least."

"Hmm. This is getting more complicated but I think I know what that stuff she gave you is. Whatever it is, it's triggering what is happening to you. You are more prone to the mind hallucinations. And I think that stuff is causing it." She looked down at his stomach, his hand rested on it. "How's your stomach?"

"It's fine. Still hurts, but not as much as before." Vegeta stepped behind him.

"Marron was exhausted. She hasn't had much sleep so she went and rested in your room." They nodded.

Bulma smiled at Yamcha. "Thanks." She whispered. Her stomach growled. "This is probably the first time I've been hungrier than you two." They chuckled and followed her into the kitchen.

Not hearing the low cry from Bulma's room
