Phobia
Chapter 16: Mind Trip!
"WAKE UP!"
Everything was black, but voices remained. The words made no sense to me but at the same time they meant everything, they held meaning that I could not fathom. Just yet . . . I felt as if I've heard them before, I know I have.
"Vegeta . . . listen . . . to me . . ."
"K-Kakkarot?" There was no answer.
"Listen to me. LISTEN!!"
So I did, but the same words echoed.
"Veh . . . geta . . . please . . . listen"
There was a flash of gold.
"Here mom." Rose pedals fell down, slowly fluttering in the darkness, the pedals seemed to be illuminated.
"Goten, they're beautiful."
"Roses are red, violets are blue, honey is sweet, and so are you. Roses are blue and violets are red. On Valentine's day, you will be dead!" More pedals fell.
"No . . ."
"Vegeta . . . listen . . ."
"It's only in your mind. Your mind. Your mind?"
"I'll never stop!" A shudder ran down my spin yet I seemed to be in darkness, where am I?
"I . . . will . . . never . . . NEVER STOP!!! NEVER!!!"
"S-stop!"
"Everything is doing to be fine. Everything! I promise!" Those were my words.
"Listen to me!"
"No-no-NOOO!"
"Don't die."
"I-I love you."
"You're not listening!"
"Pay attention!"
"You will love me."
"The dragonballs."
"She's going to get the dragonballs."
"We need to get the dragonballs."
"We have all we need."
"The dragonballs . . ."
"7"
"Seven dragonballs."
"One wish."
"Only one."
"One wish!"
"I wish . . ."
"Please don't leave me!!"
"Only one!"
"Hurry!"
"I found one!!"
"We have all seven."
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Five"
"Six"
"Seven!"
"All seven dragonballs!!"
"Listen . . ."
"Blue eyes." Those blue eyes, Videl!
"It was her eyes!"
"I'M NOT CRAZY!!"
"You love me?"
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME!!!!???"
"BELIEVE ME!!"
"Don't die."
"I love you."
"I'm right here."
"Turn around."
"Open your eyes."
". . . wake . . . up . . ."
"Please s-stop!"
"Kakkarot . . ."
". . . It hurts . . . so . . . much . . ."
"Everything will be fine."
"Videl."
"VIDEL!"
"VIDEL!!"
"VIDEL!!!"
"Sop up this blood."
"I'm finished."
"This will hurt."
"I love you."
"She's so beautiful, just like you." I said this recently.
"Kakkarot . . . I love you."
"I love you Geta."
"Marry me?"
"Yes!"
"I love you . . . forever."
"FOREVER!!"
"Can't you take a joke?"
"YOU'RE WHAT!!???"
"Men can't mate"
"Bleed for me."
"BLEED!"
"Try to stop the blood flow!"
"Roses?"
"Looks like you have a secret admirer Kakkarot . . ."
"Why are you doing this?"
"I love you."
"RUN!"
"NO!! VEGETA!!"
"I'm not finished with you yet!"
"Videl . . ."
"Her name is Kura."
"Kura?"
"Vegeta Listen . . ."
"How did you get so strong?"
"The dragonballs."
"The black star dragonballs"
"One wish!"
"I wish . . ."
"I know what I'm doing."
"On Valentine's Day . . . you won't have any memories to save. The only flowers for you . . . will be on your GRAVE!!"
"Honey is sweet and so are you . . ."
"You love him don't you?"
"I love him!"
"He's mine."
"MINE MINE MINE!!"
"What the HELL are you doing??"
"S-STOP!! Pl-PPLEASE!!!"
"Oh my love, please don't cry, I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start a new life."
"I ripped out his throat, and called you on the telephone to take off my disguise just in time to hear you . . .
Cry
Scream!
TO SEE YOU DIE!!!"
"WAKE UP!!"
"It's a dream."
"All a dream?"
"What is wrong with him?"
"Dad's dead? N-NO!" There was soft sobs.
"Wahhh!"
"Find the others"
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Five"
"Six"
"Seven . . ."
"I wish . . ."
"Listen!"
"KILL ME!!!!
"Ka-Kakkarot!"
Silence
"KAKKAROT!! DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Silence
"DDDDAADDDDDYYYYYY!!"
A voice squealed, as my eyes shot open. Something landed on my stomach; they received a low 'oof' from me. My eyes widened as I saw a young girl, no older than 7 sitting on my belly, fidgeting and bouncing. "Who?" I said lowly. I took in the young girl's appearance, big sparkling black eyes, ebony hair to her shoulders with a few thick bangs covering parts of her vision; nicely tanned skin, a tail swayed behind her. "Kura?" I whispered in disbelief.
"Daddy, Daddy! I'm hungry and Goten and Trunks are getting dressed." She crossed her arms stubbornly reminding me of myself. I almost smirked. If she's here then- I glanced to the right and saw my mate laying next to me, curled up in the thick mink blanket. He held it protectively against his chest and his head was resting on another part, his right hand rested under that. His spiky hair sticking out in every direction. His face was peaceful, his eyebrows were not knitted together, no low cries came from him. I frowned, reached my hand forward, and brushed it across the smooth warm skin of his cheek. But how? He died. He is dead. I moved my hand back, uncertain of what I should think.
"Daddy, leave Mommy alone, he's tired."
My left eyebrow rose. "Mommy?"
"Yep!" She shouted a huge grin adjourned her face.
There was a soft groan; a muscular arm extended over my arm, to my bare stomach, and curled around my side pulling Kura and I closer. He's alive. But how? I stared at him as his eyes fluttered open, dark pools revealing themselves to me. A smile came to his face as he brought his hand up and rubbed his eyes. "Morin' Geta." He softly spoke. His eyes met mine. "Did you have a bad dream?" He slowly sat up, the blanket still wrapped around him, casually draped over his unruly spikes.
I nodded, "the worst." I paused for a moment, hoping that he wouldn't take this the wrong way. "Kakkarot, how? I don't remember anything after you dying. I'm confused."
My mate's eyes saddened. "After I died, you went into shock, or so I'm told. You then woke up got the dragonballs and wished for Videl's powers to be stripped. You them destroyed her."
"What about you?" Kura sat in silence as we spoke.
"Oh . . . I was brought back recently." His eyes wandered over me than past me to the clock. They went wide; he was about to speak.
"MOMMYYYY!! LET'S GO PLAY DOLLIES!!!" Kura yelled and latched herself onto Kakkarot's chest. She snuggled her face into the blankets. A smile came to Kakkarot's lips.
"I'm sorry sweetie but we need to get ready for the wedding."
"THE WHAT!?"
"Vegeta don't tell me you forgot."
"N-no I didn't forget I was just joking." I lied; we're getting married? It feels like a chunk of my life is missing. "The almighty Prince of Sayians does not forget such things." I puffed my chest out causing Kura to giggle.
"You're silly."
"We'll eat at the wedding." Kakkarot nodded at my words.
"Hey dad." I looked towards the door to see Goten smiling. "Trunks and I are ready to go."
" . . . Um . . . can you get Kura dressed please?" Goten shrugged.
"Okay." He moved to the side of the bed and took Kura's hand in his. "Come on Kura, you get to finally wear your cute dress." She jumped up and down as she went out the door; it shut behind them.
Kakkarot slowly got up; he still seemed weak. The blanket dropped from his shoulder as he moved towards the closet. My eyes caught sight of a darker line of skin across his belly. I stood up and moved over to him. "Is this the scar?"
"Vegeta, you've seen it before." I traced my pointer finger across it. His stomach shuddered under my touch. "Sorry Geta, it still hurts sometimes." He whispered his eyes lowering to the ground.
"Kakkarot, I love you."
His face lit up. "I love you too Geta!" His arms wrapped around my shoulders. He pulled me close. I instantly pressed my lips to his. I feel like I've been away from him for years.
Kakkarot's lips moved with mine our tongue soon were dancing to the music of our low moans. He pulled back, his eyes filled with zealousness. "Vegeta . . ." He panted, "we have all night for that."
I smirked, "do we have to wait?"
"Yes, we need to hurry." He flashed me a smile and grabbed up clothes from the closet. He tossed me a pair of jeans and a dark blue short sleeve t- shirt. I hurried and put the outfit on.
I then went into the bathroom grabbing up my toothbrush and scrubbing my teeth with it. I spit the toothpaste into the sink and rinsed my mouth out with lukewarm water. I turned to see Kakkarot in alike attire. Except his shirt was white and his pants a little baggier. He went past me and brushed his teeth more carefully than I had. After he was finished, he brushed his clean hair. He grinned at me as I noticed something on his face, blood.
I stepped closer to him and inspected his nose. "Kakkarot-"
"I know . . ." He turned away from me and grabbed a piece of toilet paper and held it to his nose, pushing his head back. "Geta can you go get the car ready, we should go." I nodded.
"Alright, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. My nose always does this."
I shrugged it off and moved down the hall. I froze as I heard a sound from the room. I darted back in. "Kakkarot!" I shouted. He faced me, a confused look on his face.
"Yeah . . .?"
"Nevermind." My eyebrows drew together as I left again. I went past the boy's rooms. "Trunks, Goten, Kura. Lets go!"
Goten, Trunks and Kura ran out; smiles on their faces. "We're ready!!"
"Come on." They followed me as I went down the hall, the stairs, and out the front door. All four of us got into the car. We waited 2 minutes for Kakkarot.
He emerged from the house. He got into the car slamming the door behind him. "Everyone strap." He smiled at me as I did so.
I stared off at the house. ". . .Vegeta are you listening to me?" I jerked my heads towards him.
"What did you say?" My eyes narrowed to thin slits.
"I asked if you were listening to me. You were scaring me for a moment there."
" . . . I thought-Nevermind."
I started up the car and put it in reverse. I started down the road. "Keep going straight I'll tell you when you need to turn." He sniffled after he spoke this. I frowned as he grabbed for a tissue in the glove compartment.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, I just gotta try to stoop the blood flow." The word sounded familiar to me.
"So, how did I kill Videl?" Kakkarot shrugged.
"I wasn't there. I was dead remember?"
"No one told you?" He shook his head as I tried to keep my eyes on the road, the tissue he held quickly drenching with blood. "Does your nose bleed a lot?"
"N-no, I'm fine. Everything is fine. Vegeta, you act like you haven't seen me for the last 3 months."
Three months?
"Has your nose been bleeding like that for 3 months?"
His eyes looked to the ceiling. "Yeah . . ."
"Mommy's nose is always bleeding. And he always has bad dreams." Kura said from the back seat.
"I thought she was dead!"
"She is."
I put my foot on the break as we came to a stop sign. "Then why are you still having nightmare?"
"Dad, what did you expect? Did you think he'd just forget?" Trunks spoke up.
I didn't answer. He was right, but something seemed wrong about this situation. I extended my arm and turned up the volume to the radio.
" . . . It's a nice day for a, white wedding. It's a nice day to . . . START AGAIN!!"
I snorted, changed the station as I put my foot on the gas pedal, and continued down the street.
"Oh my love, please don't cry. I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start a new life . . ."
I've heard that song before. I kept it on the station and turned up the volume.
I continued to stare out into the street as I heard a soft voice sing the words, but it didn't belong to the band.
"I ripped out his throat and called you on the telephone to take off my disguise just in time to hear you cry when you. . . you mourn the death of your bloody Valentine the night he died . . . You mourn the death of your bloody Valentine, one . . . last . . . time."
My eyes grew wide. What the hell?
Then other voices rang through the air. Goten, Trunks, and Kura.
"Oh, my love Please don't cry I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start a new life . . . I don't know much at all, I don't know wrong from right All I know is that I love you . . . tonight"
Then Kakkarot spoke to me, "Vegeta make a left up here." I nodded. My thoughts still going back to the words. They had continued to sing the words.
"There was police and-flashing lights, the rain came down so hard that night, and the headlines read, 'a lover died' No tell-tale heart was left to find- when you-"
I turned the wheel to the left. "It's right over there Geta. The big church." I eyed the huge church as we neared it. Tons of people were already there, many of them familiar faces. Some, I suspected were new friends.
But I couldn't fight the feeling that something was wrong. Something was so wrong.
~Listen~
I pulled into a parking space and stopped the car. Kakkarot was silent. He turned towards me a grin making it's way across his face.
~She's so beautiful, just like you~
He opened his side of the door and I quickly did the same. The children did the same. We slowly walked towards the church, Kakkarot's hand intertwined with mine for a moment them disappeared. "See you in a little while." He moved in the opposite direction until he came to a door and went inside.
"VEGETA!" I turned to see Gohan a grin on his face. A woman stood next to him. "Come on we need to get you ready."
"Ready??" I frowned as I was practically dragged into a different door than Kakkarot; the children ran off and went over to Marron and the others.
~ ~ ~
Once inside Gohan handed me a tuxedo. "Here this is your tux." I took it from him. My thoughts wandering to Kakkarot.
"Will he be wearing . . . a dress?" A chuckle rose in Gohan's throat.
"Nope. I know he's not wearing a dress. Bulma thought it would be funny though."
"Hmm . . . Gohan, let me ask you something. Have they been acting strange to you?"
Gohan shook his head. "No . . ."
"Is there something no one is telling me about Kakkarot?"
Gohan looked at the ground. "Like what?"
"Is there something wrong with him? Mentally, physically?"
"I think so . . . he hasn't been the same. We tried to bring him to the doctors and he freaked out. Vegeta you act like you haven't been here. YOU tried to bring him there. Then you decided against it because he wasn't well. When he gets worried his nosebleeds. When he has nightmares, his nose bleeds . . . I'm worried."
"Why would his nose bleed?" My left eyebrow rose as I slipped out of my clothes.
"His mind overloads. Or at least that's what the doctor said when I asked him. Everything has just been too much for him to handle but with the marriage and Kura, I think he'll do a lot better." I fixed the tie so it was pressed up against the collar. Not too tight . . .
I snorted. "Yeah." I turned to Gohan.
"You look great Vegeta." A smile came to his face. "Vegeta?? Open your eyes?"
I snapped my eyes open. "What?" Gohan stared at me.
"Are you listening to me?" I stared back at him. "Vegeta. Are you okay, you kinda zoned out on me."
I shook my head. "I-I'm fine. Everything is-" I stopped myself, the line too familiar for comfort.
"Uh . . ."
"VEGETA! GOHAN! COME ON WE'RE READY!!" I turned to see Bulma, looking very beautiful in a light blue dress. I guess it was the color Kakkarot choose for the wedding. Like the sky . . . My eyes went to the ceiling.
"One, two, three, four, fiv-"
"Vegeta!" I shot my eyes to Gohan and Bulma, they both had their eyebrows raised, something that I don't recall seeing them do for a long time. Wait. Was I counting aloud? "Come on!!" I hurried over to them and out the door. An arm grabbed mine and I walked next to Gohan. We walked down the isle. Kura was following us, dropping flowers onto the ground. Roses.
Roses.
Red pedals fell slowly to the ground.
Crimson.
Like blood.
Like-
I was soon on some sort of platform. Dende was standing by me and Gohan had disappeared moments earlier, but I hadn't realized.
It's a nice day for a white wedding. It's a nice day to . . . START AGAIN!!!
Then the music began. Low at first and it grew louder.
Dun dun da dum dun dun da dum
My eyes went to the figure clad in all white.
Kakkarot . . .
So beautiful . . . just like you . . .
Trunks walked him down the isle. As I watched them, I noticed it.
Blood.
Kakkarot's blood.
MY MATE'S BLOOD!!!
Trailing down from his nose and the side of his lips. A smile plastered on his face. No one else seemed to notice it as he stepped up next to me. I looked down to his stomach; roses seemed to appear there. At least the color.
"Kakkarot?" I began as he took my hand in his. It was cold. So cold.
He moved my hand close to his chest until it was firmly pressed against it and I felt . . . I felt . . . nothing.
Nothing . . .
Nothing?
NOTHING!!!!
A warm tear slid down my cheek. He-he's dead?
"Oh my love. Please don't- please don't cry. I-I'll was my bloody hands and we-we'll start a new life." Tears cascaded down his pale face, as did the color of the roses on the floor.
"Are you-?"
"You really didn't think I'd stay dead did you? DID YOU!!??" I turned quickly to see familiar blue eyes. Blue eyes . . . And red
Red
Blood
Pedals rose pedals
Oh Kami, what is going on?
Then there was screaming so much screaming. Too much screaming.
"SHUTTTT UPPPPP!!!!" I screamed as my hands went over my ears. Trying to shut out the cries but they remained. They didn't go away.
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Five"
"Six"
"Seven!"
Kakkarot hummed in my ear. I leaned into him. My ears are covered. How did I hear him?? "The dragonballs . . .Vegeta listen to me."
"Oh Kami . . . it hurts . . .it hurts . . ." The cry echoed in my mind.
This isn't real? THIS ISN'T REAL!!!
But I want it to be!! Kakkarot is alive!
"I'll be back. I will. Vegeta I love you and I-I always will. Vegeta remember this- listen . . . just listen and wake up. Wake up. Please. Don't stay. Even . . . even if you want to." I remember my eyebrows knitting together. No- this can't be.
"Please wake up."
"Open your eyes!!"
"Please . . ."
"Listen . . ."
"LISTEN TO ME!!!" My eyes met ebony pools. "One wish. Only one."
"I wish . . ." I whispered softly. He slowly started to fade. "No- Kakkarot don't leave me." I screamed for him, my arms reaching for his. "I love you." A smile came to his face as wings protruded from his back. I gasped. An angel.
My angel now has wings.
"I'll be here Geta. Remember I love you."
"DON'T LEAVE ME KAKKAROT!! I LOVE YOU I NEED YOU!!!-
I
Need
You
I
Need
You
I
Love
You
Don't leave
Pl-please!
PLEASE!!!
"Sh . . . ." His voice calmed me as I ran. "You mourned the death of your bloody Valentine, the night he died. You mourned the death of your bloody Valentine. ONE LAST TIME!! Vegeta don't cry . . . I love you . . . I love you . . . . I . . . love . . . you . . ."
Then there was darkness. It flooded my vision. Kakkarot disappeared from sight. No!! NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
And then my eyes opened.
To be continued . . .

Chapter 16: Mind Trip!
"WAKE UP!"
Everything was black, but voices remained. The words made no sense to me but at the same time they meant everything, they held meaning that I could not fathom. Just yet . . . I felt as if I've heard them before, I know I have.
"Vegeta . . . listen . . . to me . . ."
"K-Kakkarot?" There was no answer.
"Listen to me. LISTEN!!"
So I did, but the same words echoed.
"Veh . . . geta . . . please . . . listen"
There was a flash of gold.
"Here mom." Rose pedals fell down, slowly fluttering in the darkness, the pedals seemed to be illuminated.
"Goten, they're beautiful."
"Roses are red, violets are blue, honey is sweet, and so are you. Roses are blue and violets are red. On Valentine's day, you will be dead!" More pedals fell.
"No . . ."
"Vegeta . . . listen . . ."
"It's only in your mind. Your mind. Your mind?"
"I'll never stop!" A shudder ran down my spin yet I seemed to be in darkness, where am I?
"I . . . will . . . never . . . NEVER STOP!!! NEVER!!!"
"S-stop!"
"Everything is doing to be fine. Everything! I promise!" Those were my words.
"Listen to me!"
"No-no-NOOO!"
"Don't die."
"I-I love you."
"You're not listening!"
"Pay attention!"
"You will love me."
"The dragonballs."
"She's going to get the dragonballs."
"We need to get the dragonballs."
"We have all we need."
"The dragonballs . . ."
"7"
"Seven dragonballs."
"One wish."
"Only one."
"One wish!"
"I wish . . ."

"Blue eyes." Those blue eyes, Videl!
"It was her eyes!"
"I'M NOT CRAZY!!"
"You love me?"
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME!!!!???"
"BELIEVE ME!!"
"Don't die."
"I love you."
"I'm right here."
"Turn around."
"Open your eyes."
". . . wake . . . up . . ."
"Please s-stop!"
"Kakkarot . . ."
". . . It hurts . . . so . . . much . . ."
"Everything will be fine."
"Videl."
"VIDEL!"
"VIDEL!!"
"VIDEL!!!"
"Sop up this blood."
"I'm finished."
"This will hurt."
"I love you."
"She's so beautiful, just like you." I said this recently.
"Kakkarot . . . I love you."
"I love you Geta."
"Marry me?"
"Yes!"
"I love you . . . forever."
"FOREVER!!"
"Can't you take a joke?"
"YOU'RE WHAT!!???"
"Men can't mate"
"Bleed for me."
"BLEED!"
"Try to stop the blood flow!"
"Roses?"
"Looks like you have a secret admirer Kakkarot . . ."
"Why are you doing this?"
"I love you."
"RUN!"
"NO!! VEGETA!!"
"I'm not finished with you yet!"
"Videl . . ."
"Her name is Kura."
"Kura?"
"Vegeta Listen . . ."
"How did you get so strong?"
"The dragonballs."
"The black star dragonballs"
"One wish!"
"I wish . . ."
"I know what I'm doing."
"On Valentine's Day . . . you won't have any memories to save. The only flowers for you . . . will be on your GRAVE!!"
"Honey is sweet and so are you . . ."
"You love him don't you?"
"I love him!"
"He's mine."
"MINE MINE MINE!!"
"What the HELL are you doing??"
"S-STOP!! Pl-PPLEASE!!!"
"Oh my love, please don't cry, I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start a new life."
"I ripped out his throat, and called you on the telephone to take off my disguise just in time to hear you . . .
Cry
Scream!
TO SEE YOU DIE!!!"
"WAKE UP!!"
"It's a dream."
"All a dream?"
"What is wrong with him?"
"Dad's dead? N-NO!" There was soft sobs.
"Wahhh!"
"Find the others"
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Five"
"Six"
"Seven . . ."
"I wish . . ."
"Listen!"
"KILL ME!!!!
"Ka-Kakkarot!"
Silence
"KAKKAROT!! DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Silence
"DDDDAADDDDDYYYYYY!!"
A voice squealed, as my eyes shot open. Something landed on my stomach; they received a low 'oof' from me. My eyes widened as I saw a young girl, no older than 7 sitting on my belly, fidgeting and bouncing. "Who?" I said lowly.

"Daddy, Daddy! I'm hungry and Goten and Trunks are getting dressed." She crossed her arms stubbornly reminding me of myself. I almost smirked. If she's here then- I glanced to the right and saw my mate laying next to me, curled up in the thick mink blanket. He held it protectively against his chest and his head was resting on another part, his right hand rested under that. His spiky hair sticking out in every direction.

My left eyebrow rose. "Mommy?"
"Yep!" She shouted a huge grin adjourned her face.
There was a soft groan; a muscular arm extended over my arm, to my bare stomach, and curled around my side pulling Kura and I closer. He's alive. But how?

"What about you?" Kura sat in silence as we spoke.
"Oh . . . I was brought back recently." His eyes wandered over me than past me to the clock. They went wide; he was about to speak.
"MOMMYYYY!! LET'S GO PLAY DOLLIES!!!" Kura yelled and latched herself onto Kakkarot's chest. She snuggled her face into the blankets. A smile came to Kakkarot's lips.
"I'm sorry sweetie but we need to get ready for the wedding."
"THE WHAT!?"
"Vegeta don't tell me you forgot."
"N-no I didn't forget I was just joking." I lied; we're getting married? It feels like a chunk of my life is missing. "The almighty Prince of Sayians does not forget such things." I puffed my chest out causing Kura to giggle.

"Hey dad." I looked towards the door to see Goten smiling. "Trunks and I are ready to go."
" . . . Um . . . can you get Kura dressed please?" Goten shrugged.
"Okay." He moved to the side of the bed and took Kura's hand in his. "Come on Kura, you get to finally wear your cute dress." She jumped up and down as she went out the door; it shut behind them.
Kakkarot slowly got up; he still seemed weak. The blanket dropped from his shoulder as he moved towards the closet. My eyes caught sight of a darker line of skin across his belly. I stood up and moved over to him. "Is this the scar?"

Kakkarot's lips moved with mine our tongue soon were dancing to the music of our low moans. He pulled back, his eyes filled with zealousness. "Vegeta . . ." He panted, "we have all night for that."
I smirked, "do we have to wait?"
"Yes, we need to hurry." He flashed me a smile and grabbed up clothes from the closet. He tossed me a pair of jeans and a dark blue short sleeve t- shirt. I hurried and put the outfit on.
I then went into the bathroom grabbing up my toothbrush and scrubbing my teeth with it. I spit the toothpaste into the sink and rinsed my mouth out with lukewarm water. I turned to see Kakkarot in alike attire. Except his shirt was white and his pants a little baggier. He went past me and brushed his teeth more carefully than I had. After he was finished, he brushed his clean hair. He grinned at me as I noticed something on his face, blood.
I stepped closer to him and inspected his nose. "Kakkarot-"
"I know . . ." He turned away from me and grabbed a piece of toilet paper and held it to his nose, pushing his head back. "Geta can you go get the car ready, we should go." I nodded.
"Alright, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. My nose always does this."
I shrugged it off and moved down the hall. I froze as I heard a sound from the room. I darted back in. "Kakkarot!" I shouted. He faced me, a confused look on his face.
"Yeah . . .?"
"Nevermind." My eyebrows drew together as I left again. I went past the boy's rooms. "Trunks, Goten, Kura. Lets go!"
Goten, Trunks and Kura ran out; smiles on their faces. "We're ready!!"
"Come on." They followed me as I went down the hall, the stairs, and out the front door. All four of us got into the car. We waited 2 minutes for Kakkarot.
He emerged from the house. He got into the car slamming the door behind him. "Everyone strap." He smiled at me as I did so.
I stared off at the house. ". . .Vegeta are you listening to me?" I jerked my heads towards him.
"What did you say?" My eyes narrowed to thin slits.
"I asked if you were listening to me. You were scaring me for a moment there."
" . . . I thought-Nevermind."
I started up the car and put it in reverse. I started down the road. "Keep going straight I'll tell you when you need to turn." He sniffled after he spoke this. I frowned as he grabbed for a tissue in the glove compartment.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, I just gotta try to stoop the blood flow." The word sounded familiar to me.
"So, how did I kill Videl?" Kakkarot shrugged.
"I wasn't there. I was dead remember?"
"No one told you?" He shook his head as I tried to keep my eyes on the road, the tissue he held quickly drenching with blood. "Does your nose bleed a lot?"
"N-no, I'm fine. Everything is fine. Vegeta, you act like you haven't seen me for the last 3 months."
Three months?
"Has your nose been bleeding like that for 3 months?"
His eyes looked to the ceiling. "Yeah . . ."
"Mommy's nose is always bleeding. And he always has bad dreams." Kura said from the back seat.
"I thought she was dead!"
"She is."
I put my foot on the break as we came to a stop sign. "Then why are you still having nightmare?"
"Dad, what did you expect? Did you think he'd just forget?" Trunks spoke up.
I didn't answer. He was right, but something seemed wrong about this situation. I extended my arm and turned up the volume to the radio.
" . . . It's a nice day for a, white wedding. It's a nice day to . . . START AGAIN!!"
I snorted, changed the station as I put my foot on the gas pedal, and continued down the street.
"Oh my love, please don't cry. I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start a new life . . ."
I've heard that song before. I kept it on the station and turned up the volume.
I continued to stare out into the street as I heard a soft voice sing the words, but it didn't belong to the band.
"I ripped out his throat and called you on the telephone to take off my disguise just in time to hear you cry when you. . . you mourn the death of your bloody Valentine the night he died . . . You mourn the death of your bloody Valentine, one . . . last . . . time."
My eyes grew wide. What the hell?
Then other voices rang through the air. Goten, Trunks, and Kura.
"Oh, my love Please don't cry I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start a new life . . . I don't know much at all, I don't know wrong from right All I know is that I love you . . . tonight"
Then Kakkarot spoke to me, "Vegeta make a left up here." I nodded. My thoughts still going back to the words. They had continued to sing the words.
"There was police and-flashing lights, the rain came down so hard that night, and the headlines read, 'a lover died' No tell-tale heart was left to find- when you-"
I turned the wheel to the left. "It's right over there Geta. The big church." I eyed the huge church as we neared it. Tons of people were already there, many of them familiar faces. Some, I suspected were new friends.
But I couldn't fight the feeling that something was wrong. Something was so wrong.
~Listen~
I pulled into a parking space and stopped the car. Kakkarot was silent. He turned towards me a grin making it's way across his face.
~She's so beautiful, just like you~
He opened his side of the door and I quickly did the same. The children did the same. We slowly walked towards the church, Kakkarot's hand intertwined with mine for a moment them disappeared. "See you in a little while." He moved in the opposite direction until he came to a door and went inside.
"VEGETA!" I turned to see Gohan a grin on his face. A woman stood next to him. "Come on we need to get you ready."
"Ready??" I frowned as I was practically dragged into a different door than Kakkarot; the children ran off and went over to Marron and the others.
~ ~ ~
Once inside Gohan handed me a tuxedo. "Here this is your tux." I took it from him. My thoughts wandering to Kakkarot.
"Will he be wearing . . . a dress?" A chuckle rose in Gohan's throat.
"Nope. I know he's not wearing a dress. Bulma thought it would be funny though."
"Hmm . . . Gohan, let me ask you something. Have they been acting strange to you?"
Gohan shook his head. "No . . ."
"Is there something no one is telling me about Kakkarot?"
Gohan looked at the ground. "Like what?"
"Is there something wrong with him? Mentally, physically?"
"I think so . . . he hasn't been the same. We tried to bring him to the doctors and he freaked out. Vegeta you act like you haven't been here. YOU tried to bring him there. Then you decided against it because he wasn't well. When he gets worried his nosebleeds. When he has nightmares, his nose bleeds . . . I'm worried."
"Why would his nose bleed?" My left eyebrow rose as I slipped out of my clothes.
"His mind overloads. Or at least that's what the doctor said when I asked him. Everything has just been too much for him to handle but with the marriage and Kura, I think he'll do a lot better." I fixed the tie so it was pressed up against the collar. Not too tight . . .
I snorted. "Yeah." I turned to Gohan.
"You look great Vegeta." A smile came to his face. "Vegeta?? Open your eyes?"
I snapped my eyes open. "What?" Gohan stared at me.
"Are you listening to me?" I stared back at him. "Vegeta. Are you okay, you kinda zoned out on me."
I shook my head. "I-I'm fine. Everything is-" I stopped myself, the line too familiar for comfort.
"Uh . . ."
"VEGETA! GOHAN! COME ON WE'RE READY!!" I turned to see Bulma, looking very beautiful in a light blue dress. I guess it was the color Kakkarot choose for the wedding. Like the sky . . . My eyes went to the ceiling.
"One, two, three, four, fiv-"
"Vegeta!" I shot my eyes to Gohan and Bulma, they both had their eyebrows raised, something that I don't recall seeing them do for a long time. Wait. Was I counting aloud? "Come on!!" I hurried over to them and out the door. An arm grabbed mine and I walked next to Gohan. We walked down the isle. Kura was following us, dropping flowers onto the ground. Roses.
Roses.
Red pedals fell slowly to the ground.
Crimson.
Like blood.
Like-
I was soon on some sort of platform. Dende was standing by me and Gohan had disappeared moments earlier, but I hadn't realized.
It's a nice day for a white wedding. It's a nice day to . . . START AGAIN!!!
Then the music began. Low at first and it grew louder.
Dun dun da dum dun dun da dum
My eyes went to the figure clad in all white.
Kakkarot . . .
So beautiful . . . just like you . . .
Trunks walked him down the isle. As I watched them, I noticed it.
Blood.
Kakkarot's blood.
MY MATE'S BLOOD!!!
Trailing down from his nose and the side of his lips. A smile plastered on his face. No one else seemed to notice it as he stepped up next to me. I looked down to his stomach; roses seemed to appear there. At least the color.
"Kakkarot?" I began as he took my hand in his. It was cold. So cold.
He moved my hand close to his chest until it was firmly pressed against it and I felt . . . I felt . . . nothing.
Nothing . . .
Nothing?
NOTHING!!!!
A warm tear slid down my cheek. He-he's dead?
"Oh my love. Please don't- please don't cry. I-I'll was my bloody hands and we-we'll start a new life." Tears cascaded down his pale face, as did the color of the roses on the floor.
"Are you-?"
"You really didn't think I'd stay dead did you? DID YOU!!??" I turned quickly to see familiar blue eyes. Blue eyes . . . And red
Red
Blood
Pedals rose pedals
Oh Kami, what is going on?
Then there was screaming so much screaming. Too much screaming.
"SHUTTTT UPPPPP!!!!" I screamed as my hands went over my ears. Trying to shut out the cries but they remained. They didn't go away.
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Five"
"Six"
"Seven!"
Kakkarot hummed in my ear. I leaned into him. My ears are covered. How did I hear him?? "The dragonballs . . .Vegeta listen to me."
"Oh Kami . . . it hurts . . .it hurts . . ." The cry echoed in my mind.
This isn't real? THIS ISN'T REAL!!!
But I want it to be!! Kakkarot is alive!
"I'll be back. I will. Vegeta I love you and I-I always will. Vegeta remember this- listen . . . just listen and wake up. Wake up. Please. Don't stay. Even . . . even if you want to." I remember my eyebrows knitting together. No- this can't be.
"Please wake up."
"Open your eyes!!"
"Please . . ."
"Listen . . ."
"LISTEN TO ME!!!" My eyes met ebony pools. "One wish. Only one."
"I wish . . ." I whispered softly. He slowly started to fade. "No- Kakkarot don't leave me." I screamed for him, my arms reaching for his. "I love you." A smile came to his face as wings protruded from his back. I gasped. An angel.
My angel now has wings.
"I'll be here Geta. Remember I love you."
"DON'T LEAVE ME KAKKAROT!! I LOVE YOU I NEED YOU!!!-
I
Need
You
I
Need
You
I
Love
You
Don't leave
Pl-please!
PLEASE!!!
"Sh . . . ." His voice calmed me as I ran. "You mourned the death of your bloody Valentine, the night he died. You mourned the death of your bloody Valentine. ONE LAST TIME!! Vegeta don't cry . . . I love you . . . I love you . . . . I . . . love . . . you . . ."
Then there was darkness. It flooded my vision. Kakkarot disappeared from sight. No!! NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
And then my eyes opened.
To be continued . . .
